THEY HAVE THEIR IRISH UP,
The Sons of Erin Feel Warish, and
Say it is Time to Fight.

Two monster meetings of Irish
Americans have met, one in New
York, the other in Indianapolis and
have adopted resolutions looking TO
the separation of Ireland from En-
gland The Indianapolis resolutions
which are about the same as those
adopted in New York read as fol-
lows:
Whereas, a convention OF Irish
Americans has been proposed for
the purpose of organizing a new
movement for Irish independence
by means outside of parliamentary
agitation; and
Whereas, we consider that par
liamentary agitation is demoralizing
the Irish people and destructive
of lreland's manhood,
Resolved, that we approve of the
proposed convention and the in
auguratiou of new Irish move
ment on lines outside of parliamen-
tary agitation and pledge our NOR
al and financial aid to whatever aid
the convention may adopt; and be
it further
Resolved, that we hereby request
the cooperation of all Irishmen
who desire the complete emancipa-
ton of the motherland from British
rule Of all societies and organiza-
tions whether beneficial, social lit,
erary, patriotic, military, temper
ance, athletic or otherwise.

MAKING MOUTHS.
Carlisle and Bryan are Engaged in q
Mouth Combat.

MNN'@NN"'
When Carlisle reached Lexington
Kentucky, on the 18th, he was
met by a newspaper reporter,
who propounded the follow
ing questions to him,
"WiIl you meet Mr.. Bryan here
in debate?' was asked
What, dignity him by meeting
him IN debate?' asked the secretary
almost anGriIy, in return,
mo, sir; he is 4 popuIist, not a
democrat Did he not say in Lou
isiana that if a silver plank WAS not

Kentucky to deal in personalities,
Whatever ! said in my speeches /
will stand by, but at this time ! do
not care to say anything about
Gen. Harding or Gen. Blackburn,
Mr.. Carlisle will make no more
speeches this summer.
When Bryan read what Carlisle
said about him he got huIIy and
said;

tion at the Lexington Chautauqua
on July D, but ] knew nothing of
the proposed debate until ! saw

Rothchild-Morgan syndicate to pro-
tect the treasury Of the United
States has any dignity to iIbpart to
others.
"But a debate might afford Mr.,
Carlisle an opportunity to explain
some things concerning which he
has been studlously silent AS to
the charge that am a populist, /

that ! did not, and now say that
I do not, believe the democratic

"The struggle in the democratic
party is to determine whether the
gold bugs can use the organization
as vehicle Tor the advancement Of
plutoeracy, or whether the party
will stand upon democratic prlneI'
pies,
"The silver democrats expect to
control the next national convention
and | have no doubt that Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle will either
bolt or vote the republican ticket" "

AN INFAMOUS PICTURE.
Published in a Scranton Paper in Regard to
the Normal School.

Uo NOTfldi oCHOOis
Principal Bible and the Trustees of
the Normal school are highly indig-
nant over the publication in Scran-
ton weekly illustrated paper of a cut
which is not calculated to impress
parents and possible students with
the standing of the school.
The obnoxious picture represents
a numbers of girls playing football
in costumes of scanty nature and
in attitudes extremely unbecoming.
Underneath are a few words stating
that the picture represents an actual
occurrence among the young lady
students at the school.
1t is an infamous piece of cheek for
the paper publishers to tamper with
the good name of such an institution
as the school has got to be and the
men who comprise the firm should
be punished severly for so outrageous
a cartoon.
1t is understood that the matter has
been placed in the hands of the Hon.
j. B. Storm, who will demand some
retractiOn or a libel suit will be
brought. The school authorities
can rest assured, however, that no
one with any degree of common sense
would believe such a thing The
school has made too rapid PROCESS for
such piece of work to harm it and
those in charge are beyond reproach

SOME PECULIAR RETURNS
The Leading Democratic Paper Of
the State Declares Them as
Palpable Frauds.

Calls on Chairman Wright of the Demo-
cratic state Committee to Make a
Thorough Investlgation-Judge p. p.
Smith May Not he Elected After All.
The Times in a long article dissects
the vote of Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties at the recent election
and shows that in Lackawanna,
Smith is credited with 1867 votes
which can be accounted for only by
false returns, and say the fraud is
monstrous, and calls on Chairman
Wright to institute prompt and
through investigation of it in vim
dication of the integrity of his party
organization.
In Luzerne county it says Smith s
vote is 935 in excess of the Dem
ocratic vote for Myers, but it also
says this perfidious method of voting
could not advance Smith a single vote
beyond Myers, and that there is n o
known rule Of arithmetic that can
make the Luzerne and Lackawa anna
returns honest on their face. 1t is
not possible for these returns, and
only an honest return should be
accepted by any candidates for ju-
dicial honors.
Will Judge Smith vindicate him
self by aiding in the investigation of
of what seem to be indisputable
frauds.

BRIEF MENTIONS.

BRIEF MENTIONS.
The distribution Of State Aid for
Normal Schools in Pennsylvania for
the year 1895 as appropriated at the
school department gives the follow
ing for East Stroudsburg Number of
graduates, 3,1O0 and the amount of
aid, 81, ,36O.5O.
This does not apply to Pike
county girls. They have plenty of
chances without seeking them.
Next year, 1896, will be leap year.
The girls will do well to make the
most of the opportunity for it will
be eight years before another comes.
The year 1900 will be a leap year.
The year is 366 days and six hours
long less eleven minutes. The
elevn minuets amount to one day
inc 100 years. when leap year is dis
pensed with. The year 1900 will
therefore not be a leap year.
1t is reported among dealers in
sporting goods that there has been
a tremendous shrinking in the
demand for playing cards and gam
bling devices. This argues well
for the morals of the country.
The Republican party is in the
best possible shape for 1896. Let
the leaders see to it that nothing dis
turbs this condition, so that the party
may present a solid front when
that battle begins.
The Standard Oil Company are
about to erect a large oil tank near
Pen Argyll in which to store refined
oil, 1t will be conveyed to the tanks
by cars, and then distributed by
tank wagons through the neighbor-
ing counties. We expect to have
electric lights through this section,
and abandon so primitive a method
of lighting.
We forgot to present this problem
at the recent teachers institute, but
those mathematically inclined can
figure atit: A boy ten years old has
little sister who weighs 16 pounds,
and gets tired holding her in five
minutes. When heis twenty years
old how long will it take him to get
tired holding some other boys sister
who weighs 116 pounds.
More than half of the amount
asked from Kingston, as a sutscrip-
ton toward the extension Of the
Port Jervis and Monticello railroad
from Summitville to that place has
been raised, and the balance, soon will
be. Let it come on down the Della
ware Valley.
The Chautauqua Circle viii meet
at the Presbyterian parsonage on
Friday evening of this week lat eight

At TINE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Rev. Mr.. Nichols Preached on the Subject
Overcoming" Last Sunday Morning.

Rev. Thos. Nichols, last Sunday
morning preached an interesting and
instructive sermon in the Presby-
terian church in this place, taking
for his text the words found in Rev.
.3;12.
1t was a sermon applicable to any
congregation. The principal topic
was Overcoming" and he spoke
especially Of the promise made to all
that overcome, and the necessity
that exists among the members of
all congregations to overcome their
personal prejudices, opinions, likes
and dislikes, and to yield a cheerful
and Christian acquiescence to the
opinions and preferences of others.
By the way the population of Mil
ford Borough by the census of 1890
was about 800. 1t is safe to say that
less than 100 attend church in Mil
ford. Are the rest of the people too
busy to go, or are they engaged in
better business? or have they no
suitable clothes?
What is your excuse anyway?
And can you not by little well-di-
rected effort overcome the stay
away disposition and gain regular
habit of church attendance ? The
doors of all the churches are wide
open to receive and welcome you.
