DEMOCRATS NO loNesR.
There Are Few Supporters Of Free Trade
In Louisiana,

In Louisiana
The recent action of Mr.. Comptroller
Bowler of the present national FREQ
trade administration in absolutely re-
fusing to pay the sugar bounty as the
law distinctly directs has greatly en-
bittered large number Of sugar grow
ers and all those allied with them in
business and industrial manner, both in
and out of Louisiana. TO show the per-
sonal and political views as entertained
by former Democrat, who ha for 30
years resided in Louisiana, we quote as
follows.
"This destroying and devastating ad-
ministration has robbed me of $16, 900,
leaving me nearly helpless. Whether or
not shall ever get it now see remains
with long patient, forgiving and oft
insulted Republican party. We sugar
growers and cotton raisers, who have
always strongly upheld tho Democratic
party and its principles because we
thought that they were right, now more
plainly than ever see the great mistake
we have made. am only one Of hun
dreds shamefully treated by political
party which we always upheld by voice,
vote and means. The revulsion of poll
teal feeling against the free trade party
throughout the south has but just be-
gun. By November, 1896, the crop will
be harvested and no free trade assistance
asked. When the party Of protection
again gets into power, the law will be
fully obeyed, and sugar growers will be
paid that which the law allows them.
We gladly hail that day, irrespective Of
former politics. +"
The foregoing is only sample of the
information from the south in regard to
the feeling as it exists today among
the former stanch supporters of the free
trade Democratic party.

A POLITICIAN BEATEN.
A DIsGRACEFUL Row IN THE PIKE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Or
FICE-HELLER GETS BEATEN.

FICE-HELLER GETS BEATEN.
The above headlines call attention
to a dispatch se:'t by Democratic
reporter to the Democratic Philadel-
pIia Times, concerning Democra-
tic politician, Democratic county
commissioner, chairman of the Dem
ocratic county committee in the
Democratic County of Pike. We
think no one can accuse us of off 1n-
sive partisanship when we charac-
terizs the above as " simon pure
Democratic. I'VE sincerely depreclte
the notoriety which has been given
Pike county by the wide publication
of the article in the newspapers
generally but ina sm1ch as it is none
of our funeral, we will not be one of
the mo lrners. We may, however,
sit on the fence for moment and
review the chief character in the
procession.
This same Heller IS the man who
went t. the polls in Diugmln town
ship at the November election in
1894 in the evening. The officers of
the election according to their
watches had declared the polls
closed and hal opened the ballot
box and began the count of the votes,
when this Heller appeared on the
ground and demanded that he with
two or three others be allowed to
vote, that according to his time it
was not yet Z p. m.
The majority of the election
board were bulliel into allowing
him with the others to vote. Wheth-
er the ballot box was closed again or
not or whether they simply dumped
them in we are not informed
Is any comment necessary as to
the law abiding disposition of this
Heller !?
When we were contemplating the
first issue of the Press and desired
to obtain list of names of taXables
in the county in order to send out
sample copies, we procured the con-
sent of the two county commission
ers who happened to be present in
the Office, to use the registry of
voters to copy therefrom the names.
The accommodating clerk to the
commissioners gave us the lists
from two OF three townships which
we took and copied, and when we
went in the Office two or three days
later to return them and obtain
others, this Commissioner Heller
happened to be present, and with
a pompous air and a manner af-
ter the toad in the fable, Am
as big now as the OK, stated that
he chad consulted our counsel and
was advised that the registry listl
could not be taken from the office. ;
Did he exercise the same solictit.
GUS care and regard for the property
of the county and consult his coun,
sci before several maps in the
commissioner Office and also the
walls and tables were torn and mu
tilated =? Heller threw chair
and spittoons and hurled an iron ket

dispatch.

Can Cats CountT
A friend has several cats which have
been taught to make their homes in a
barn. One Of the wOrkmen in the sstab-
lishment has been for a number OF years
in the habit of bringing food from his
house, after dinner time for these cats. A
remarkable fact is that they go from the
barn TO the entrance of the gate property
always about o OF 20 minutes before thv
workman makes his appearance. Just
how they came 10 learn the exact time of
day Is not clear, although it goes to show
that these animals have reason and judg-
ment to some extent. Strange to say, al
though this has been going ON for several
years, the cats do not seem to know that
every seventh day is Sunday, and that the
workman does not make his appearance at
the grounds on that day, yet regularly ey-
cry Sunday, for all these many years, they
have come TO meet him, only to be- doomed
to di appointment. 1t would seem from
this that cats have not tho power to count,
or they surely would be able to know by
this time that there is seventh day when
they would be doomed to disappointment
In their daily meal.-Meehan's Monthly.

JUDGE DUNHAM RETAINS THE
SEAT.

JUDGE DUNHAM RETAINS THE
SEAT.
Judge Archibald, of Scranton, and
Judge Searle, of Susquehanna, re-
Gently decided the Dunham-S -Sittser
contest for judge in the forty fourth
judicial district comprising the
counties of Wyoming and Sullivan,
giving Durham, Republican, the
seat. He was elected by the face of
the returns, but the decision in
creases his plurality fro 80 to 10S.
There are some points in the de-
cision of interest to election boards.
The contest was probably insti-
tuted on the report that about sixty
ballots marked in the head of the
Republican column, and then
marked specially opposite Judge
Sittser's name had been thrown
out. The recount of the ballots
showed this not to be true. A few
so marked were found and were
counted.
The court made one rule which
was strictly adhered to.
In every instance in which the
voter had made his intent plain up
on the ballot it was counted. The
court, however, drew the line on
dot marks found in party columns,
and rejected such ballots.
Straight horizontal lines, and
straight perpendicular lines in the
party circles were counted, as were
circles within the circles. Six hun.
dred votes in all were thrown out as
illegal, $50 of which were cast foi
Dunham and $50 for Sittser.
The constitution says that when q
person receives anything for his
vote, or for Withholding it, he shal,
not be entitled to vote at the elec.
ton, or if a. person offers anything
to voter the man making the Offer
shall not be entitled to vote. One
hundred and eighty-five votes were
thrown out, which were cast by
men who were either paid for the
day they lost to vote or else offers
to pay for the day lost. 1t is impro.
bable that the case will be appealed

Another Message.

The President has just sent q
message to Congress reciting the
deplorable condition of the treasu-
Nv and asking for immediate and
radical relief.
There is nothing remarkable
about the document in itself, but
it is one that no friend of silver
can indorsc. The President sug-
gests, in effect, that Congress issue
$40 and $50 gold bonds payable in
80 years and bearing not more
than 3 per cent interest, also paya-
BILE in gold. He urges that the
act, authorizing the issue of such
bonds, also empower the Secretary
of the Treasury to receive and
cancel therefor outstanding treas
ury notes and legal tender notes
which are now payable in gold but
which, by an absurd provision Of
the old law, can and are immedi-
ately re-issued. To do this would
require $500, 900, 900 of bonds, and
Mr.. Springer, chairman of the
Banking committee has already
prepared and introduced a bill IN
line with the presidents suggcs-
tons. + a -
If the policy of the president is
to be carried out, and this govern
nent put upon . single gold stan
dard, no doubt this is the proper
remedy; it is certainly in the inter-
est of the gold bugs and money
changers, but as Mr.. Bland, in dis
cussing the message says, sthe
proper remedy is to pay out silver
the same Is gold" Until this il
done and until silver is accorded
equal recognition with gold a.
standard money of the country, No
permanent relief can be hoped for.
