CAMPAIGN NOTES.

There is not so much fanaticism and foolishness in the country as was SUD- posed when Bryan captured the Chicag go convention with his "crown of tborns" and "cross of gold' harangue, The level-headedness of the masses is still to be counted upon as n safeguard against Socialism and anarchy.
 Powderly hits the nail souarely on the head when he tells the workingman that his motto with regard to money should be. The best is none too good for me-"
 A man is said to have injured his ankle of letting people with comparatively lit tie strength juggle with these heavy ar guments.
 Mir. Powderly, who says the Bryan free-silver panic would be worse for In. bor than all the strikes ever known. will come in for the abuse of the Debsites, who want strikes galore, free silver, free rum and general breakup.
 A government like an individual. must have reputation for honesty and have good backing if if does business with the great world outside of its own linn it's.
 Mark Hanna is firmly of the belief that the only effective confidence restora- tive is put up at Canton.
 Bryan says that "the present dollar has too great purchasing power" Ask some one who sweats through eight hours to earn one whether this is true.
 Spain wants more money. She should send for Bryan.
 An honest dollar is the noblest work of politics.
 Even the Democrats of Michigan. Wisconsin and Ohio are focking to the standard of Mckinley. The same thing aiIlicts Mir. Bryan. it seems, that led the parrot of story into serious trouble He talks too much.
 Neither free silver nor any other chcap. money device can bring prosperity to n nation burdened with tariff which op. crates adversely to the interests of its own people.
 Bryan appears to he one of those mon who think they know 1t all. and an in- telligent and observing public does not need to he informed what usually hap pens to them.
 To put money into circulation is the need of the time. and that can be done o-,v n- --otective tariff that will re- yive industry.
 Bryan's campaign speeches are like a minstrel show. You hear one, you hear them all.
 Scared capital runs faster than ligix- ming.
 It is bad enough to give away our markets to other countries, without giv- ing them our hints also.

and the insurance money may thus be- come the sole resource of the widow and orphans. Surely, a fund such as this ought to be sacred against robbery through depreciation of the value of the money in which it is paid. Free silver, on the basis of the present value of the two metals, would rob every widow of half the money value coming to her rom the insurance carried by her hus- band.
 And this would be stupendous rob- bcry indeed. The five Massachusetts iife insurance companies of which sta ustics are given in the commissioners report, paid S4,637 .3SS in death claims last year. The grand total reported of all lie insurance companies doing busi- ness Tn this state was S66, ,SJ1 Ar. Can the women, for whose benefit most of this insurance money was paid, regard with equanimity the loss of S3:3. GOO. GOO Tn one year? There are millions of wom- eh dependcnt upon the payment of such policies. The Massachusetts companies had l22,GOO policies in force last year, calling for S322.S74 ,622 in case of death. The grand total, including all companies, was l,I43,35O policies. amounting to the enormous sum of S4,795, ,0S3.S6 Right here in Massachusetts there is $2S7, ,9l0,- 4o9 at stake in this way.
 In addition to all these there are the assessment life insurance companies, with 33,329 certificates in force. repre-. senting S93,522.4 .457; the fraternal bene- hciary associations. with membership of S3i,6oO, which paid out $19,O63, ,656 Tor 10,O69 death claims last year; the casualty companies, which paid out S3U3Ol. All these, which are primari- iy for the relief of widows and orphans, would have to pay in depreciated money under free silver.
 But the money in which the premiums on these policies have been paid is money as good as gold, worth 100 cents on the dollar. In Massachusetts alone last year SlO, 74O,SG7 was thus paid. Do not the women want. and is it not their right, to receive from the insurance com panies as good money as their husbands paid for the insurance ?-Boston Post.

DEEDS NOT WORDS.
What Mckinley Did for Destitute Miners
 Less than Two Years Ago.

lfss Indn A"o IehFs <hsos
 While Candidate Bryan is going about the country telling fairy tales of what he and his policy will do for the poor, inc question naturally arises: "What has he ever done for the working poor? Is it his habit or nature to feel for and fry to relieve the suffering of those less fortunate in life than himself?"
 His most loyal supporters make no claims that he has ever shown this feel ing for his fellowman until now. In fact he has no record of ever having gone out of his way to do anything for what he calls the masses" On the other hand, Maj. Mckinley, while not nosing as one who sweeps for the abont the occurrence which gave the world an insight into the heart of the man. nn occurrence which demonstrated that he was the friend of those who are poor and hungry, but great multitude remembers it. Such acts live in the memory of those who learn their bread Inv the sweat of their face"
 In speaking of Maj. Mckinley, the Grand Rapids Herald says:
 No account of McKinlcy's .connec- tion with labor problems would be com plete without some mention of the tire loss energy which he displayed in secur- ;ng relief for the 2000 miners in the Hooking valley mining district who. early in 1895 were reported out of work and destitute. The news first came to the governor at midnight, but before O'clock in the morning he had upon his own responsibility dispatched to the af- aicted district car containing Sl00O worth of provisions. Later he made ap- pcals for assistance and finally distrib- uted among the 2723 families in the district clothing and provisions to the amount of $32, ,796.95."

If the New York World wants to bring either of the current Democratic parties into tariff fight the Republican party is ready. The Democrats will be defeated all the more emphatically. A tariff for revenue only, which both Dem- ocratic parties demand, this country will not have.-Minneapolis Journal.

could bring evidence to show this l
requested him To- do 50 and he brought
me atiidavits of some OF the officers of
Captain Burkc's reginent and company
ard some of his comrades giving me 81
detailed statement OF the captains
services in the army showing him TO
have been q Food ard brave soldier
who left the army only when compelled
by Illness 10 So into Il hospital. After
being In the hospital for some time
Burke left ii while Il convalescent and
returned to his home. His father in the
meantime had died or died soon after
the captains return home. and the lat
ter found his mother and the other
members of the family in a helpless
condition with no one to care for them.
.Acting under the advice of parties
who he believed were competent to give
advice in the case, he remained at home
to care for his mother and those de-
pendant upon her, intending to return
to his company as soon as he had pro-
vded for those In his charge. Soon
after this the war was over and he did
not report to be mustered out with his
company. With these afiidaVits in my
possession made and had made for me
an examination Of the records at Wash
ington including the hospital record and
round tnat the rccOluS pore out tlie dIil-
davits.
II then drafted and introduced a bin
to remove the charge of desertion
which was referred to the proper COM
,nittee. Before this committee | pro-
duccd the evidence and after full hear
ing and Investigation of the matter by
a subcommittee the bill was reported
back to congress with the unanimous
recommendation that it ought to pass.
SO much time was taken up with the in
vestigation of the matter that the bill
was not reported until late in the ses-
sion and with many Others was left on
the calendar unacted upon.
From the evidence that was fur
nished me and from personal investiga-
ton made by me and made for me by
order of the secretary of war my judg-
ment is that Captain Burke was not a
deserter in the sense of one who desert
ed his flag or it's cause, but was a brave
and gallant soldier and that the charge
of desertion could be sustained only on
q technical construction of the law
The charge should be removed and the
CAPTAIN permitted to take his place
among those who faithfully and honest
ly fought for their country"

If another huge petition, like the
famous one now going round the world
on quite another mission, We're to be
signed by all the men, women and chill
dren who have been cured of disease
or saved from n weak, nervous condi
ton by Paines celery compound, 1t
would take a stout conveyance to carry
the enormous document from city to
city.
Such Il growing testimonial would
receive additions from every tiny vii
lage and small town, not to mention
the cities, on its journey across the Uni
ted States.
1t would be signed by thousands OF
women no longer tortured by s!eepless-
ness, pains in the back and sides. con-
tinual headaches, neuralgia, dyspepsia
and Bright's disease.
There would be fully as many men
who had been permanently cured of kid
ney and liver diseases and rescued from
chronic bad health by means of this
great invigorator.
A vast number of children would be
represented to testify to the ability of
Paine's celery compound to restore
healthy appetite,to take away that con-
stant tired feeling and to purify the
blood of harmful humors.
The number of testimonials for
Paine'S celery compound from men ana
women of high standing in every state
in the Union that have already been
published, would fill large volume.
These testimonials have been written
without solicitation. They have been
published verbatim as they were re-
ceived.
Necessarily the testmOnialsth that have
publicly appeared have.been but one or
two, here and there. taken almost at
random from an enormously large num-
Der that every day and every week
steadily increases.
Besides, it is to be remembered that
cures fairly due to Paine's celery COM
pound ever get beyond the knowledge
of the immediate family; that, in fact.
few people have any appreciation of
the number of families throughout the
United States where Paine's celery COM
pound is kept constantly on hand and
is being taken or has been taken by
some one of it's members.
Paine's celery compound has already
done an enormous work. 1t has saved
lives. 1t has saved health. 1t has
saved homes.
But its work as the greatest nerve
and brain strengthened and restorer
the world has known has only started.
1t is not beyond the reach of the
most modest household. while a much
greater expenditure will procure moth
ing else so effective.
Paine's celery compound, the remedy
that makes people well, is within reach
of all.

The Lackawanna hospital ambulance
was summoned at 80 yesterday after
noon to the West LackaWanna crossing
of the Delaware, LackaWanna and
western railroad, where a man had
been brought who was struck by Il train
and badly mangled. The unfortunate
man was taken to the hospital. The
doctors trephined his skull which had
been fractured. but he died at O'Clock.
From his appearance the impression
would naturally form that he was a
tramp; his age was about l5 years
There was nothing in his pockets to
lead to his identification. y tattoo on
his right arm is the only thing that may
discover who he is: it is the represent
tation of a ballet dancer and under
meath i are the letters j, ", l., n,
l. and d.
His rockets contained about half
peck of potatoes, Quarter-pound of
coffee, and IA loaf of raisin bread. He
had on enough clothes to DO four men.
The accident happened along the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western tracks
in the North End and he was brought
down to .he crossing on switch en-
Sinc.
Coroner Kelley was notified and VIII
hold an inquest today. The body is still
at the morgue in the Lackawanna hos

had been under the influence Of liquor

A PLUMBING INSPECTOR.
Board Of Health Will he Asked to Ar
rOint Such an Officinj

Several members of the Master Plumb
ers' Association went to the city hall
y. erday for the purpose of attending
Il meeting of the board of health to
confer with the members of that body
relative to the appointment of plumb
ing inspector. on account of quorum
failing to materializc a meeting Of the
board was not held but the matter viii
probably be taken up and considered
at the next meeting.
The recent Legislature enacted law
which provides for the appointment by
the board of health of cities of a certain
standing-and the plumbers believe
that Scranton is in the category-of an
inspector whose duty it shall be to see
that all plumbing work is properly done.
The plumbers feel satisfied that the ap-
pointment of such an inspector will
raise the standard of sanitary work.
