There were few open and doing busi-
ness, but in nearly every instance the
proprietors took the precaution to remain
on guard at their front doors so that
not man not u regular patron could
gain admission. In this way the dealers
protected themselves. There We're police
men out in citizens dress. but they could
not detect an offender. AS a consequence
in no part of the city was an arrest
made.

district had case to be tried in court,

a court room and who knew nothing
about the customary methods OF pro-
cedure before the judge and jury.
Neither would he pick out his attor-
ney for reasons connected with re-
ligion. race or social standing. He
would try to get the lawyer to take

would not prevent him from recogniz-
Ing the wisdom OF securing the best
available representative to guard his
legal interests.
This illustration ought without much
explanation to show why it would be
prudent for the voters of the Second
district, regardless of race, religion or
politics, to re-elect Alex. Connell as
their representative at Harrisburg. He
has experience whereas his opponent
has not. He knows the ropes, whereas
his opponent does not. He has shown
by his first terms work that he Is alert
and vigilant in the districts behalf,

board bill he saved to the district an.

perience. he would be able next winter
to do still better work, whereas if Mr..
Koehler were elected in his stead, it
would take him most IL not all the
term to get accustomed to the ways
of doing things at Harrisburg.
No doubt there are some voters who
do not look at the election of a repre-
sentative as they would look at the
hiring of a lawyer to try a case or a
doctor to care for "A person who was ILL.,

Don't Strengthen the Enemy.

1t has sometimes been said that party
lines should not be considered in the
election of local officials; that when the
citizen enters the election booth to
mark his ballot for city treasurer or
county commissioner he should be
guided solely by The rule of superior
individual fitness. This doctrine has
been preached so long that perhaps
some persons may have neglected to
think of the questions other side.
In government like ours where par
ty stands opposed to party and where
there is little immediate likelihood OF
different system, it naturally follows
that every Office captured by one Of the
leading parties adds to that party's
fighting strength. If Mr.. Boland, for
instance, had not won the city treas
urership last spring. he would today
have less incentive and smaller Oppor-
tunity for managing a campaign for
free silver. His victory then was more
than personal compliment; 1t
strengthened the whole Democratic
party. From such local stronghOlds
the national party organization is re-
cruited and victualled. Weaken the
party there. or prevent 1t from getting
hold of local Notifications, and you re-
duce it's power for mischief all along
the line.
In similar manner, vote cast next
month by any Republican for either of
the Democratic candidates for county
commissioner would be in effect vote
against Republican principles. 1t
would help to increase the future diff
culties in the way of triumph of
those principles. 1t would be like Civ
ing ammunition and provisions to the
enemy in time of war. Only on one
consideration would there ever be good
excuse for the cutting by voter Of his
party ticket, and that Is when he be-
lieves that it contains the names
Of unfit men, or when the
men on the other ticket are
decidedly better. In such case.
to overstep party lines would
probably be justiRable; but it
deserves to be said in this con-
nection that the instances are few
wherein the Republican party does not
place on its ticket the names of men
fit to be compared with the nominees
of the opposition.
In the present campaign in this cOun-
ty 1t offers as its candidates for COM
missioner two men who are personally
creditable to the ticket and who have
during the past three years given pub
lie demonstration of their ability and
integrity in the discharge of the duties
of their Office. Consequently 1t is i'm
possible for us to see upon what ground
any Republican could justify the with
holding of a vote from either of them.
To all Democratic overtures for assist
ance Republicans should turn a deaf
ear and make their ballots emphatic
next month by voting them straight

AN EyIDENcE'oF CONFIDENCE
From the Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record.
The Scranton Steel works resumed op-
erations on Monday last, giving employ
ment to 100 men. This is another nail
in the coffin of Reputation. There would
be no resumption If there were not con-
iident belief in the maintenance of public
credit. All business calculation for the
future is built on the expectation of the
stability of the standard of value.

The Cry Of fhe Poor
Against The Rich
From Insersolrs Chica.o snesch.

! From Ingersolrs Chicago Speech.
why should We hate the rich? Some
rich men are good. ana some poor men
I are mean. Some poor men are good, ana
some rioh men are mean. You cannot
Ike man just because he Is poor, and you
| caInot hate him just because he Is rich.
And why should we envy the rich? Let
me tell you something. The Vaaderoiits
and the Astors and the Rockesellers never
drank any colder water than have. They
never smoked better cigars. They never
! ate lighter biscuits, nor better potatoes.
| We know the ecstasies Of love as well ia
| they. We know the love of wife and cnil-
! dren and friend. and in some respects
we have the advantage. They fear. and
We hope. They are at the top, and they
are afraid of failing. We are close TO the
ground and we hope to climb. And now
J Is man to be enved simply because
! he has got more than he can use? What
| good Is that" What Is the use Of carrying,
| 100 canes: What IL the use OF having mors
| than YOU can possibly spend:
| -:ll:--
Let me tell you another thing. Lots Of
| these people are owned by the property
, they think they possess. The property
| owns them, and 1t will get them up at
O'Clock In the morning and II will MAKE
, them work like slaves until aisht. They
are afraid every minute that somebody Is
| going TO sell it. They have no confidence
In the friendship of man or woman. They
| think they are ali vomiting their money.
| They think their children are anxious 10
! 80 10 their funeral; that all their heirs
| would love to look on their mausoleum.
| That H. the trouble with them. And an-
| other trouble Is, that most Of them are
, insane. They don't know when they have
| enough. Wha' would you think OF man
| that had 50o,0OO neckties? What would
you think of that man getting up at
| o'clock in the morning, going through the
snow and slush until 10 o'clock at night
to get him another neckt!e"

With all my heart hate the trusts and

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND'S LETTER.
From the Times-Herald.

From the Times-Herald.
The impregnable alignment of all the
forces of law and order and all the agen
cies of religion and morality under tho
banner of sound money is u notable feat
ure of a most remarkable campaign. TC
those who impute selfish interest tht
church can hurl a ringing defiance, fol-
has not the church from the day of the
landing of the pilgrims been the bulwari
of social order? In spite of It's calumnia-
tors, it's precepts have become the warp
and woof of our social fabric and its
teachings form the bone and fiber Of our
laws.
iii
The church has come to the defense o!
the sound money platform in this cam
paign because the contest involves ques-
tions of law and order, questions of indi-
vidual integrity and national honor. II
the church cannot champion these great
principles that are so vital to the welfare
of our common country against the pro-
Chalmers of reputation and the assail-
ants of law and order, for what purposes
Is the church maintained? When politics
involves grave questions of public morals
shall the church sit supinely apathetic
and regard the menace to our institutions
with passive Indifference?
ill
The prOnunciamentO OF Archbishop
Ireland of ST. Paul comes in the nature
of a ringing answer to those who have
had the temerity to challenge the right
of the church to take sides on a question
of national honor. The letter is moder,ta,
dispassionate and dgnitied in tone. 1t is
the strong appeal of scholar, a patriot
and a true friend to labor to the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the American peo-
pie. Its power TO convince the thousands
who stand wavering between the two
great issues of the contest cannot be es-
timated.
