Base Ball EnternriSe.

The last of the series OF Eastern
League base ball games will begin in
Scranton today, when the home team
will be pitted against the Wilkes Barre
club and some excellent contests may
be expected. Although the results of
the season which is drawing to a close
have not been just what the enthusias-
tic ball crank would desire, the home
club has certainly given some excellent
exhibitions OF good ball playing under
the present manager. and that the club
is not at the head of the league in the
matter of percentage is certainly not
the fault of the directors Of the associa-
ton. The ball enterprise has this sea-
son been conducted on a scale of liber-
ality throughout, and it is to be re-
GREETED that ill-luck and difficulty in
securing players have made it impos-
sible for the team to be classed among
the winners.
Persons interested in the national
game will do well to show their appre-
citation Of the enterprise of the associa-
tion by liberal patronage during the
balance Of the season, that the owners
may feel encouraged to make greater
efforts for success next year.

Better Times Ahead.

Orator Bryan declares that 1--WE are
| but upon the threshold of a period of
depression which is indefinite in dura-
| ton and cannot be described in inten-
sity." This assertion, like many others
| made by the misguided young candi-
date, is a falsehood. If Bryan and the
dangerous policy that he represents
could triumph at the coming election,
| it is probable that his dire predictions
would be fulfilled with a vengeance.
But nothing of the sort will happen.
The good news of each successive week
causes the feeling Of apprehension to
pass away as thousands are realizing
the dangerous ground upon which they
have been treading in giving consider
alton to the mischievous teachings of
free silver asitators. The thinking peo-
pie of the United States are alive to
the situation. They realize the menace
Of proposed currency revolution, and
| regardless of creed or party are firm in
| the determination to protect the honor
| of the government. At the close of
William Bryan's lecture tour he will
retire to private life breathless and
doubtless a wiser man.
With the election of William McKin-
ley as president of the United States,
confidence will be restored: the wheels
of industry will hum again and pros
perity will smile on the land. We are
| going to have good times and a pros
porous future because the voters of this
| country have had enough of expert
ment and can be relied upon to cast
| their ballots on the right side when
| patriotism and national honor are ar
rayed against anarchy and repudia-
tiOn.

Patriotic Vermont.

The vibrations Of the opening gun Of
the campaign fired in Vermont are like
sweet music in the ears of the patriotic.
In the face of the bluff and buster that
has been raised by the disciples of dis
content the Green Mountain state has
exhibited her patriotism by doubling
usual majorities in the interest of pro-
lection. honest money and good gov
crnment. The Republican victory in
that state has passed the expectations
of the most sanguire, but 1t Is only
forerunner of what will follow in No
vember.
Many Of our Populistic neighbors no
doubt will argue that as Vermont is a
Republican state the victory was a ma
tural consequence, and is of no particu-
lar value as a campaign barometer.
This however, will not lessen the i'm
portance of the rebuke that has been
administered the elements of discord
by the sturdy sons of the Green Noun
tain state. The heated writers and in
flated orators Of Organism have made
claims of large results that were sure
to follow their labors in sowing seeds
Of discomfort everywhere. They even
place such states as Pennsylvania and
New York in the doubtful column. And
now in little Vermont instead of max
ing converts to the mischievous theories
the adopted Democratic parent of Sill
verism Is about twenty thousand votes
worse off than before the subject was
brought before the people.
This singing rebuke to missionaries
Of the Bryan-Altgeld faith not only
proves anew the patriotism of Ver-
mont, but it also illustrates the hope
lessness of the claims that are put forth
by Bryan and his retinue who nave
mistaken the curiosity Of the people
along the line of his pilgrimage for ac-
tual interest in his success.

History of Our Coinage--lll.
BY JOHN SHERMAN.

Prior and subsequent to 1873 many
changes were made in coinage by the
leading countries of the world. Ger
many, in 1871, changed its standard
from silver to gold. France, Italy,
Switzerland and Belgium had in 1865
entered into a treaty called the Latin
Union to which other nations became
parties, and by which the coins of each
Of these countries were received and
paid out by all of them. This important
arrangement was first modified and

A WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

To establish the policy of free coinage
OF silver on individual account at the ratio
of 16 to l would be to set aside the prin-
ciple which has prevailed since the birth
of our republic. and TO make u currency
that would be cheaply acquired by some
and dearly obtained by others. 1t would
be class legislation as grossly unjust as
any that ever provoked a revolution. It
would be favoritsm more outrageous
than any perpetrated by the Mckinley
tariff bill or contemplated by Hanna in
case he has the opportunity to make an
other Mckinley tariff. The proposition to
print into treasury notes all paper of a
certain class brought to the government
printing office at Washington would be
secuted as preposterous scheme for en-
riching paper manufacturers. How does
this differ in principle from the proposition
to coin into legal tender dollars all the
silver that the mine owners may bring
there ?--Boston Post.

If, according to slverite theories,
wages were increased and the ad-
vanced price of farm products and
manufactured articles increased the
cost of living also, who would be bene-
fitted by the change? All admit that a
season of financial panic and business
chaos would surely follow an attempt
to readjust our currency system. Does
any sensible laboring man or business
man want to try the experiment?

A1NTS AND MILLS,

The mints cannot make a bushel of
wheat worth a dollar. Mills which build
up new towns and people them with pros
porous communities that increase the con-
sumption of breadstuffs will raise the
price of wheat quicker than all the free
coinage laws that can be enacted. The
mints cannot create value. Only tho
brawny arms of honest toll, directed by
genius and intelligence. can create value.
The mints cannot create prosperity or
happiness. The opportunity to earn the
best money in the world by legitimate
industry is the plan proposed by Major
Mckinley. No sensible or honest Amer
ican expects to get money in any other
way. Idle workmen want the wages Of
the mills; the mints can give them moth

CHEATING THE CREDITOR.

If these gloriilers of the old order OF
things could restore the conditions thai.
prevailed previous to 1873, and make the
market value of silver what it was then,
they would not want free coinage. There
would be nothing in 1t for them. They
could do better by selling their silver in
the form of bullion than by having it
coined into dollars. What they really
want is cheap morcy, a kind of money wi h
which creditors can be cheated. They are

WARNING TO PAPER THIEVES,

Wilkes-Barrc News-Dealer.
The man who stole two copies of the
News-Dealer from the doorway>of a sub
scriber yesterday exercised very poor
judgment. At the mayors office they fig
ured 1t out that the papers were worth
$625. The victim of Policeman Reister's
eagle eye made a mistake. If he had
called at the News-Dea1er Office and sub
scribed for the paper he would have re-
ceived It for whole year for less cost
than he paid the mayor. And then be-
sides he could have saved a trip to the
mayors office. 1t is queer that some peo-
pie will never learn, no matter how old
they get.

Doctors are often handicapped by the
mere fact that when treating the diseases Of
women, they suggest and insist on exam
nations and local treatment" A great
many Of them do not know that this is abso-
lutely unnecessary. Many a woman has
been thrown into a dangerous state of ner-
vous excitement by the mere suggestion Of
such treatment Many women lie to the
doctor. That sounds hard, but il is un-
doubtedly true. They know that il they
admit certain symptoms that the doctor
will inevitably insist on an examination" "
They do not give him all the facts In the
case and so he works in the dark. Quite
often the doctor is too busy and too hurried
TO make the necessary effort TO obtain the
facts. He frequently treats symptoms for
what they appear 70 be on the surface, when
the real cause and the real sickness is deeper
and more dangerous. A arrangement Of
the distinctly feminine organs will derange

things she should look out for first One is
