fin de steele Chicago woman is Mrs.
Warren Springer, Wife of a million
aire. She is pretty familiar with what
money can do in Chicago courts, from
watching the reports of the Cronin-
Coughlin and Prendergastca cases, in which
charges of bribery were daily incidents.
The other day case in which her hus-
band was interested came before a court,
and Mrs. Springer concluded to see
the jury. But she was not smart enough,
or did not fix the price big enough, or
failed in some other way to accomplish
what she aimed to do. And now she is
under Indictment.

The most unfortunate thing that could
happen for a certain class of Estates
mem at Washington would be the passage
of law compelling the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l. These
Statesmen It would not be diff.
ficult to pick them out-depend for what
little cheap notoriety they enjoy upon
the periodical introduction of a free silver
bill or resolution. They have learned
certain forms, phrases and arguments
favorable to silver just as parrots might
learn the same things, and being af-
ficted with an itching to get their names
into print for the benefit of their political
prospects, they are continually bobblng
up with free, silver proposition which
they known beforehand will never amount
to anything. If congress were TO pass a
free silver bill, the act would be death
blow to anumber of the most persistent
free silver agitators in the House. The
sum Of their political attachments being
exhausted, they would drop into OBJ
security.

Ex-senator Lyman Trumbull of Illinois,
who has been appointed as one of the
members of the commission to investi-
gate the recent strike, was justice of
the Illinois supreme court for FIVE years
and member of the federal Senate for
nearly twenty years. He was one of the
five republican senators who voted for
acquittal in the impeachment trial of
Andrew johnson. After that celebrated
incident he became democrat, and was
in 1880 the democratic candidate for gov
ernor of hiss state. CARROLL D. Wright will
be the chairman of the commission. The
third member is understood to have been
named, and the commission will probably
begin its Investigations in short while.

Some few of the papers of the state
continue to demand a series of joint de-
bates between Candidates Atkinson and
Hines. The majority of those that do so
are probably actuated more by desire
to ''see some fun" than by desire to see
party principles promulgated in the man
ner calculated to do the most good In
Joint debates the tendency is toward per-
sonalities The candidates may not in
tend to be personal, but in the heat-of de-
bate they forget to be careful, and before
anybody knows it the public questions
have been lost sight of and bitter person
alities are the order. The joint debates
in South Carolina between two demo-
cratic candidates for the high Office of
United States senator is a notable exam
pie of how disreputable joint debate
may become if the tendency toward per-
sonalities is not checked.

Ammunition for the Enemy.

The statement made by Senator Cor
man that free coal would benefit only a
syndicate that owns rich coal mines in
Nova Scotia is being used by the republi-
can papers in their efforts to prevent the
passage of a tariff bill. They say that
the demand for free coal and iron ore is
made in the interest of the owners of the
Nova Scotia coal fields, among whom, 1T
is alleged, are the Presidents friends,
ex-Gov. Russell of Massachusetts, ex-
Secretary of the Navy Whitney, and Sec
rotary of War Lamont, and in the inter
est of the Bethlehem Iron Manufacturing
Company that owns very rich iron mines
in Cuba.
No fair minded man believes that the
President in favoring free iron ore and
coal is trying to assist his personal
friends. The insinuation that he is, is
unworthy self respecting man or a self
respecting newspaper. The President
favors free iron ore and free coal because
the tariff policy of the Democratic party
is to give the manufacturers free raw
materials, and iron ore aud coal are very
important raw materials.
1t may be true that a syndicate of
of American capitalists own rich coal
mines in Nova Scotia, and that the pro
prietors of the Bethlehem iron works
own great deposits of iron ore in Cuba,
but if they do it does not follow that the
Democratic party should abandon it's
tariff doctrine.
Senator German made mistake when
he furnished the republicans with an OPP
portunity to impute improper motives to
the President in connection with the
tariff bill. They are on the lookout for
opportunities to attack the bill, and are
quick to seize upon them. They are de-
termined to defeat the bill If they can,
and they will stop at nothing in their
efforts to accomplish their object

The Dem ooratic County Conyen-
tion on Monday was n decidedly
quiet affair. During the forenoon
of that day there was no appear
ance on the streets of anything un-
usual going on, as is generally evi-
denced by the crowd gathering on
convention days. The convention
was called to order by county
chairman Asa $. Keeler, at 2 o'clock
and at once proceeded to business.
w. Z. Little, Esq, was chosen
chairman, Alvin Day and Frank
Herman, secretaries, and j. Wood
Piatt, Esq, reading clerk. The roll
of delegates showed all the districts
represented except Overfeld. On

man there was no candidate placed
in the field, therefore q. A, Little,
Esq, and ex-sheritf, c. S. Knapp
were elected conferees to represent
this county In the district confer
ence. Hon. John A. Sittser was
nominated for the office of Presi-
dent Judge, and Hon. i. Ii, Piatt
for Representative, both by accla-
nation. When the nominations for
Jury Commissioner were opened
there was a great scrabble" to see
who would "get there" first, as all
apparently, realized that this was
the only office upon which the
Democratic party could feel any as
surance of coming their way this
year. There were six nominations
Horace Fasset, u. l.. Nc Millen,

the sixth ballot Mr.. Fasset received
the nomination. j. q, Fasset and

The Democrats of Sullivan county
will let loose in Forksville on next
Tuesday, August 2lst. That is
they will hold their convention there
on that date and great big time
is anticipated. The bosses will all
be there, but the rank and file OF
our Democracy will remain at home
and when the day of judgment
comes they will cast their vote for
the best men on the ticket regard
less of party principles. In short,
the boys are getting tired of voting
the ticket slated by the bosses of the
party. What is there in it for them
anyway? Most every ''boss" in the
county is anxious to be on the ticket.
1t don't matter who of the candi-
dates are the lucky ones, it will be
made up Of bosses and of course
they win expect the rank and file OF
their party who has nothing to say
of the make up of the ticket, to elect
them. Here are the Democratic
candidates looking for Office. Term
each one of them ''boss" and you
will not bit it amiss
p. Connor, for Congress, of
Bernice; A. Walsh, for Senator, of
Dushore; Russell Karns, for Senator,
of Laporte; Ambrose Farrell, for
Member, of Lopez; George Streby,
for Member, of Dushore; A. l..
Grim, for Member, of Laporte; E..
J. Mullen, for Dist. Atty. of Du-
shore and Chas. Hugo for Jury
Commissioner of Elkland.
Here is tue ticket as predicted
by few of the leading spirits:
For Congress, P. Conor; for
Senator, A. Walshi for Member,
Ambrose Farrell and for Dist. Atty.
E. j. Mullen. Geographically, one
point of the compass would take all
Of these fellows in, and it stands TO
reason that the rank and file of the
Democratic party in Davidson, tie
two Laportes, Shrewsbury, Forks
Vile, Forks, Fox, Elkland and
HiilsGrove, will bolt the ticket and
let the people of the Cherry Com
bine know that there are citizens
residing in other parts of the coun-
ty competent of filling an office or
two.

The inclemency of the weather in
terferred materially with the attend
ance at the colored campmeeting, on
Sunday. The two excursions, one
from Williamsport, and one from

about 1890 a. M. but the coaches
were nearly empty Of people. 1t
commenced to rain early in the
morning and continued all day and
at intervals it poured down. There
were lots of people anxious to come
but they would not venture out. At
Williamsport, we were informed
the depot and platform were crowd
ed with people to take the excur-
sion, but at the hour Of starting the
rain came down in sheets and all
or nearly all gave up the trip.
Notwithstanding the down pour
of rain, services were held in the
grove at 3 p. m. and were listened
to with mark attention by the small
gathering present, Rev. Mr.. John
son of Williamsport delivered the
sermon; after which the jubilee
singers entertained the audience
with selection of old plantation

The 18th Of August at LapOrte, q
Grand Succcss.

GRAND Success.
Yesterday, August 18th, was, as
was advertised, gala day at La
porte. The excursion came around
the curve at $50 a. m. and at 1000
a. m. There were two sections.
Both were loaded down with people.
The first section brought I coaches
and the second 8. The Germania
and Bernice bands came in on the
second section, when line Of march
was formed to the grove. 1t was
then announced that Father Enright
would hold services in the Pavilion.
With this over all Joined in for
good time. The dancing was started
and the numerous games put in mo-
tion. Rowing on the lake and rid
'ng on the steam boat were among
the chief attractions.
The HillsGrove band joined the
gathering at about i a. m. and with
the three bands present, lots of music
was in the air. The orchestra wae
from Dushore and was compliInented.
The several peanut and ice cream
stands did a large trade.
In the afternoon thunder shower
came up and it rained hard for sew
eral minutes. During the shower
lightning struck j. A. Jordan's barn
on East Meylert street and burned
it to the ground. In the barn were
several tons of hay and a quantity
of lumber and farming implements
owned by Mr.. Jordan and a pair Of
bob sleds owned by Mr.. lIassen
and two wagons owned by the
Wheeler Bros. show company, one
Of these wagons was saved the other
things went up in smoke. There
was no insurance on the building and
the loss is estimated at about four
hundred dollars. The excitement OF
the fire had hardly been quieted when
word was circulated that a young
man had been drowned in the lake.
This was false, however. There
wasn't one word of truth in the ru-
NOR. During the gale a boy lost
his hat in the water and thus the
story originated.
The excursion left at 1880 p. m.
and all expressed good time. 1t
was estimated that there were 1900
people present and we guess the
figures were none too high. The
doings were both socially and finan-
cially success and Father Enri9ht
was more than pleased with the large
gathering. 1t is too early TO give
the receipts of the day, but they
were large, very large. We will give
the exact amount in our nest issue,
We assure you that Father En-
right, the people of Laporte and the
committees in charge, did all in their
power to give the visiting guests a
good time and are glad to know that
everybody enjoyed themselves and
II good dinner and returned to their
homes well pleased with the pleas
ures of the day.
