The Influence of ScOrDjO,

ScOrp!o begins today, Oct. 90. and will
| continue until Nov. %. Children born un-
| der this sign have great deal of magnet
| ic heat in their system, and if proper con-
| ditions of health exist will not suffer
| much from cold. They have strong appe-
| tites. strong passions, and when angry
a very high temper, and are usually of a
| very jealous nature. They have great
| tcnacity of life, but are inclined to be idle.
, In everything they are inclined to think
| of self first. They are good friends so
| long as 1t pays TO be so, but can just as
| easily be an enemy If it is more convenient
! and profitable. Children of Scorpio are
| very dangerous in their jealousy, and on
| this account ought never to give way to
| impulse or yield to the frenzy of sus-
| pcon. Parents of children of Scorpio
should commence in early life to ins:il
| into their minds the Importance of self
control in all things, and should also re-
strain their luxurious inclnatons. Pos
sesscd of great magnetic power, the chill
dren of Scorpio when in perfect health
have ability to cure disease by massage
or the simple laying on of hands.
OF the influence of Scoipio the ancient
| astrologers speak as follows: "The sun
| in Scorpio doth augment the Inheritance,
and addeth boldness and stoutness, also
fattery by which he shall deceive many.
, showing. as they say, bread in one hand
and hiding Il stone in the other; mingling
poison with honey, performing almost
nothing that he promiseth, notwithstand-
ing he shall be merry and full of jesting,
light of belief and a conqueror of his
enemies. A female shall be wise and
crafty, which shall be deceived of her
| first husband, her other husband she shall
| joyfully live with and overcome here enc
| mics. She shall also have pain in the side
or stomach and be marked either in the
head, or shoulder, or in the arm. 1t
maketh both men and women bold and
| rash. and sometimes to rob and steal, and
to search out forbidden things" The
only disease to which this nature is con-
stitutionally liable Is heart disease.

The Baker Ballot.

The disposition to poke fun at the
expansive proportions of the Baker bal
lot breaks out every year about this
time; and this being presidential year
with the ballot larger than ever, the
raillery is naturally keener than usual.
But after all, it must be admitted by
those who are disposed to be fair in
the premises that the Baker ballot,
notwithstanding it's defects. is a good
deal better than the ballot which it
superseded. We fully concur in the
judgment of the Pittsburg Times when,
in discussing this very subject. 1t says:
THE electors of Pennsylvania have
used the Baker ballot for several years,
and it does not appear that any con-
siderable number of them were un-
able to comprehend it. 1t Is a ponder
Gus affair, but it is in no sense cOmpli-
Gated; there is every opportunity for
making a careful study of 1t before
hand by means of the sample ballot
and any one who can read can easily
understand it and vote intelligently
and accurately, whether he wants to
vote straight ticket or desires to in
dulge in scratching. 1t is not at all
different this year from what 1t was
in former years, and though it is large
the voter can easily find what he is
looking for. In the past there have been
very few more ballots thrown out for
informality than was the case under
the old law. and there is no reason to
believe that the voters are any less in
telligent now than they were last year
or the year before. There is no need
for any one to fear that the big ballot
is going to give him trouble or interfere
with his voting just as he wants to-"

ity to mistake. On the principle Of the

I'VE believe that the free coinage of
silver will bring gold to this country, and
that, too, without the aid of syndicates."
Speech at Syracuse, n. Y.
If that is the effect of the free coinage
Of silver, why does it not do so in the
countries which now have free coinage?
The South American states have had free
coinage of silver for many years, yet the
gold does not appear to be drifting to
them. They have actually mined $25,O.W,-
600 in gold since the beginning of 1892, yet
they have lost most of that, and instead
of the gold going to them under the free
coinage of silver as Mr.. Bryan says will
happen. they have lost their gold until
they have today but Sill for each indi-
vidual. Mexico has had free coinage Ct
silver for many years; but instead of at
tracing gold according to the Bryan
theory, her gold has rapidly left her, so
that, although she mines between four
and five millions of gold year, her gold
money amounts to just II cents for each
individual in her population. or one-twen-
tieth of what the United States has per
capita. Does this look as though the free
coinage of silver would bring gold to
this country, and that without the aid Of
syndicates?'

Make Mackey's Majority Sumner.

While in the nature of things the
Third legislative district may safely
he called Republican, no effort should
be spared by the Republican voters in
that district to elect Or. n. c. Mackey
by an unusually large majority The
reasons for this advice are numerous.
In the first place, DR.. Mackey has been
for yeaSs an active and enthusiastic
Republican, who has served his party
without expectation of reward. Now
that the occasion has arisen fot the
party to reciprocate, fairness suggests
that it do so ungrudgingly and even
generously.
But more important than any per.
sCnal consideration is the fact that his
election would not only insure capable
representation of the district at Har-
'isburG lut Ii would also help to swell
TIE general volume of Republican
triumph which is necessary one week
from next Cue esday. AS the Pittsburg
Times rcltinently remarks in similar
connection, Republicans are now in a
position to rout the cohorts of rcpud!a-
ton a-d debased currency all along
the lire, horse. foot and dragons. and
trey should not endanger the complete
ness o; their victory by any concessions
whatever"
Republican interests, local and ma
tOnal. are all IN one boat. They can
rot safely be divided. The party can
not be weakened at any one place with
hut being weakened all over. No chain
is stronger than its weakest link. Not
only is it the duty Of the friends of Pro-
lection and sound money to elect Nc
Kinley and a Republican congress. but
it is as just as clearly their duty, as the
parties are now aligned, to strengthen
the Republican organization in local
contests. IN this way only can they
put an end to the influence typified by
RIyan. for when the free silverites see
that they cannot capture Office by at
tacking the foundations of public pros
pe.ity they will abandon that line of
campaigning ana selec. one less men,
acing to the common veal.
We appeal in DR.. Mackeys behalf to
Democrats as well as Republicans
Nothing is TO be gained by the former
in the election of free silverite as
state representative. 1t would only en-
courage the men who are backing the
Bryan campaign. The way things now
stand, there is no middle ground be-
tween those who want to strengthen the
sound money position and those who
want to weaken it. Why. then, should
not all Democrats who believe in the
Influences repre- sented i'm this campaign
by the Republican ticket give their
support to that ticket as a whole both
on the national issues and in the local
aspects of the campaign?

Will Keep Their Eyes Open.

The Office of county auditor is gener-
ally regarded as of minor Importance:
and while so long as the fiscal affairs
Of the county are in honest Republican
hands there is usually small need of
extraordinary vigilance in. this office.
it nevertheless requires business ability,
quickness Of perception and a knowl-
edge of accounts all of high order.
1t resembles in many respects the func-
tiOns of the watchman at the railway
crossing. 1t isn't expected that things
will go wrong and that trains will run
into each other, but it is better to have
clear-headed and reliable man in the
signal tower than to take chances with
a careless one.
The candidates for auditor named on
the Republican ticket. A. T.. Kiefer and
Fred l.. Ward, are bright and wide
awake young men, both versed in book
keeping and both familiar with the kind
of work which the authorship involves.
They would be something more than
mere figurcheads in the office. They
would continually keep an eye out for
mistakes or irregularities in the ac-
counts which would come under their
inspection, and if there should happen
to be any errors. they would catch them.
The large majority of the taxpayers of
the county want that kind of security
in the auditors office, and that is why
they will vote eleven days hence for

"The increased demand for gold has
raised the price of gold and lowered the
prices of all those things which exchange
for money."-Buffalo Speech.
The one thing which primarily exchanges
for money and measures 1t is labor. The
report of Mr.. Bryan's co-laborer in the
silver vineyard, Senator Jones, of Nevada,
as member of the Aldrich committee Of
the United States senate, shows that one
hour of labor would in 1891 buy more gold
than it did in 1873, or in any other period
of the previous history of the country.
There had never been a year in the his
tory of the country, according to the re-
port of the Aldrch committee, which is
accepted by all parties as accurate and
reliable. in which an hour of labor would
buy as much gold as in 1891. the date at
which this committee reported. If there
has been any loss in the earning power of
labor since that day, it is due to the fill
ing up of the country with foreign made
goods, and throwing out of employment
millions of laborers. and not because of a
gold standard which has been In operation,
according to Mr.. Bryan's admission, for
twenty-three years.
