Mr.. EDIToR.-In the line of rG,tcg | thought
few lines from CQlora would NOT he amiss. On
Saturday evening, Oct. 18th, the Democrats had
their regular club meeting at this place. The
membership was considerably increased and a
gentleman from Baltimore spoke to the audience.
The Coora Cornet Band gave the music for the
occasion.
Our Band is busily engaged playing for political
meetings. They play well and can always be de-
pended on at the appointed time whether the
meeting is under the auspices of Democrats Re-
publicans or Populists:
Mr.. Joseph Bare and wife came home Saturday
evening from a two weeks trip through Penna.
The band boys met them at the station and played
for them weleame home. All our people are
glad to Dad at his post again as he is always
pleasant and accommodating.
Miss Pearce, daughter of John Pearce of near
this place, died Monday night.
The Republicans Of the district held a meeting
here on Friday nisht last and the speaking is said
to have been good.
The people have heard the old parties spout
and many of them are asking whether or not they
will have an opportunity to hear the Peoples
party speakers here in Qeoil county this campaign.
They desire 70 hear SEINE change of tune. The
Prohibition takers are coming, so we hear, but
they tell tale Oft told before, and to which
everyday people seem not to attach great i'm
portance so bring on your Populists and let the
people hear their case.
Prot, !. 4. Bfown, Photographer, has been very
busy in band work, but has at last caught up and
is still at his old stand displaying rare artistic
skill. CITIZEN.

Mr.. EDITOR The capitalistie and banking

to down the silver craze populists, printed simui-
taneously glowing accounts of the revival in bus

press claiming that it is owing to the repeal of the

Dunn and BIadslreet commercial agencies went
into the humbug knee deep, TO show that at last
we had started on the road to general prosperity
but alas, the change,
IN reading the last report of Dunn & Co. the
bottom of the business boom seems to have fallen
out, and the humbug in the repeal of the Sher-
man act, and German tariff bill appears q boom

for the reason that they started too previous
for the fall elections, and that find in Dunn &

The truth is the combination raised the prices to

fact is that the farmers are not getting remuner-

no surplus after paying their taxes and interest on
their mortgages to purchase the GOODS they
require,

Battle Swamp.

The old parties are making des-
perate efforts, the one to hold its
own at the "receipt of customs" and
the others to get in. In this struggle
something like the old time "mass
meetings" in the open air are being
attempted. A meeting at Fair
Hill by the democrats was held in
front of the hotel and speaking from
the porch on last Saturday night.
Tomorrow afternoon there is to be
a "barbecue' held at Battle Swamp,
when an OK is to be roasted and
barrels of SOFT cider dispensed.
The "hard cider" campaign of
"Tippecanoe'' in 1910 ruined the
temperance cause and set the people
crazy, but the people will never
look upon the like again. Battle
Swamp will reproduce in miniature
to-moI row afternoon one or these
"grand rallies" and if the young
generation want to see something
resembling the 1910 days they
ought to attend. A large lot OF
Honorables are advertised to be on
exhibition: With q whole beef on
the spit and barrels of soft cider on
tap to wash it down, the horns
a-hlowin' and the Hons. too, the
meeting promises to be q spell
binder.
The speakers for this meeting are
Hon. A. P. German, Hon. Chas.
j. Faulkner, of West Virginia;
Hon. John J. Hemphill, of South
Carolina; Hon. John E. Hurst,
Hon. Marion DeK, Smith and Hon.
Charles @, CEothers. J. Harvey

"Our Charley" is evidently
alarmed, and is making a fight

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cgre deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iphamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eust-
achiaH TUNE. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal 'eonditidn,
hearing wiki be destroyed forever; nine
eases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

The Cup Race.

The PAGE for % foot boats which
took place Saturday for the Sus-
quehanna Cup over a course from a
point below the bridge in Susque-

eight boats in the race.

To be Sold for Taxes.

A copy of the New Era Standard,
a paper printed in Buffalo county
Nebraska, received among our eX-
changes this week contains 80
columns in very fine type of farms
and lots advertised for sale for
delinquent taxes of 1894. The
columns are the length of those of
this paper and-we did not count
there seems to be thousands of these
lots and farms that are to be sold
because the people have no money
to save their homes. And this is
the condition all over the west. Is
it at all surprising that the people
are tlocking from the old parties
out west and joining the Populist,
crying "more money and less
misery?" Matters have only to be
continued a little while longer till
the same scenes will be enacted in
the old east. In the mean time the
leading goldbug papers of both old
parties and the bankers are advocat-
ing the destruction of the green
backs and the sale of bonds, which
will make money still scarcer,
prices lower and taxes higher.
Soon there will have to be a
direct tax laid on the land by the
government in order to raise
revenue sufficient to pay the in
terest on this ever growing public
debt. The Income tax being declared
unconstitutional" CD by a packed
plutocratic Supreme Court. so as to
exempt the rich men from paying
tax, and the revenues falling short
on account of the growing poverty
of the people, there is no other
means of securing enough revenue
to support the waste which is run
ming riot at Washington in every
of the government, but
a direct tax on the land. With the
greenbacks burned up and a still
lower drop in prices, the farms of
the old states like those of the west
must go for taxes and fall into the
possession of great syndicates, that
will rent them out like Lord Sulley
to old country tenants. The des-
truction of the national currency
(greenbacks) of England at the
close of the Bonaparte wars reduced
$50, 900 land owners to 10000 inI
seven years, filled the country with |
tramps, soup houses and country
work houses. This country is large
and possesses greater natural
resources, but it's only question of
time when like conditions will pro-
duoe similar results. The old
parties, and especially the republi
can party and their national bank,
ers, are intent on copying English
methods. Keep on voting old party
farmers, and lookout for the
tax man. He is coming as sure as
guns are made of steel to shoot you
with if you offer any resistance
against losing your homes.

AN INFLUX OF LAwLEssNEss.

Legitimate racing is governed by rules
to protect the public from fraudulent prac-
tees, and all reputable tracks are licensed
by two great associations, the Eastern
Jockey Club and the Western Turf Con
gress The Alexander Island, or outlaw
track. has applied to both OF these associa-
tions Tor a license, butts reputation isso bad
that each application was rejected.
Fully one-haIf the horse owners and
jockeys connected with the outlaw track
have been ruled out of legitimate racing.
Each OF them has been found guilty of
fraudulent practice, and is therefore
pariah TO reputable tracks. A majority Of
the bookmakers are also off color, and are
permitted to connive with the outlaw owners
and jockeys for the purpose OF fixing
races TO fleece the public.
Inaccondance with the Jobsputup bythese
outlaws. horses are doped and otherwise
tampered with, and few races are run on
their actual merit Officials Of the track
race horses and control booking stands, and
tomake sure Of their winnings are frequently
seen in the Judges stand while race is in
progress.
The influence OF the outlaw track on the
Washington public cannot be otherwise
than detrimental. 1t is resort for thieves,
thugs and dangerous characters, and Jack
son City has become a den Of lawlessuess
because OF it's existence. A well-planned
system OF confidential tips" is in vogue
in this settlement, and thousands OF dollars
are won al the track each week from the
people who weretoldthey had a sure thing.
There is only one way to free Washington
from this influx OF lawlessness, and that is
10 induce Governor o'Ferrau TO act The
Alexandra county authorities are eyi-
IDENTIFY bribed, and no relief can be looked
for from their cooperation. II might be
well under the circumstances to call mass
meeting to consider means to reach Gov
ernor O'FerralI.

THE NATIONAL GAME

Everybody in this country is interested in
baseball, and every other body is base
ball "fan," To use a baseball vulgarism.
Yesterday the National League race for the
pennant began. and from now to September
80 the principal topic OF conversation
among the 'rooter" element will be the
curves Of q favorite pitcher, the stupidity
ofumpires and the merits ofthe home team.
There is something intensely interesting in
q well-played game Of bali. The well
trained movements OF the players, their ac-
tivity and endurance, and the sure and
careful manner of their handling both ball
and bat are subjects for admiration. And
il is no wonder that the American public
is enthusiastic over the national game.
The Times has made special preparations
for publishing baseball news during the
coming season. Like everything it does,
no effort WIN be spared to give correct de-
tails. and each home game viii be illus
trated and given more than ordinary promi-
nence.
Baseball is an innocent game that should
be encouraged. 1t lacks the deteriorating
features OF many other sports, and as
human nature demands some such enter
tainment, The Times proposes to devote
considerable space TO recording both its
professional and amateur phases.

An UNFAIR JUSTICE.

The verdict rendered by Philadelphia
Jury against the Times newspaper Of that
city, and Col. Mcclure, its publisher, is
OF a nature TO startle the public and to
give rise TO serious reflection on the law
or ,libel. Ia this particular instance the
verdict was a great injustice
The publication upon which the suit
for damages was based, attacked the Off
cial character and business reputation Of
a former mayor Of the city. 1t is claimed
that these allegations were sustained by
the testimony given at the trial, and un-
less the jury proceeded on the old Law prin-
ciple that 1.-THE greater the truth, the
greater the libel" it is difficult TO see by
what process of ratiocination they could
have arrived at verdict assessing S45,-
600 damages against Col. Mcclure and his
newspaper.
In the fearless conduct Of an honest press
lies the best guarantee for the protection
Of the public interest While unscrupulous
abuse on the part Of a newspaper ought to
be properly punished, no penalty should
be inflicted that might have a tendency
20 deter any newspaper from speaking the
truth and advocating the right at all times
and under all circumstances.
The Philadelphia Times calls the YER
dict a gross perversion of justice. That
would seem to hit it about right.
