for reelection, and Edmund Robinson.
his Democratic opponent. The one is
experienced. The other is not. The
one has shown by three years hard
work that he is the right man in the
right place. The other neither needs
the office nor is known to be qualified
to fiji it.
If Mr.. Robinson should so into the
office of the directors of large pri-
vate corporation and ask to be put
at once into the position of a trusted
and experienced employe. his request
would excite derision. Why should he
make a similar request of the directors
of the public corporation called Scran-
ton and expect Il different result"
1t is the duty of every Republican to
vote for Mr.. Widmayer. because he is
the fair nominee of his party, and be-
cause he thoroughly deserves his
party's undivided support. 1t should
be a pleasure for many Democrats TO
vote for him as n testimonial to the
marked efficiency of his first term of
service. and as a reward of demonstrat-
ed official merit
There is no end of compressed truth
in the following paragraph taken from
Colonel I.aciar's Critic: "The fellows
who cry most loudly against bosses and
bossism have all at some time or other
moved heaven and earth to be bosses
themselves. They do not really object
to bossism but only to the fellows who
happen to be bosses. Usually the de-
throned boss cries the loudest. 1t has
always been So" And so it ever will

The Issue as to the Treasurership.


Personally, both Mr.. Williams and
Mr. Boland are worthy men, The COM
mon factor Of personality may, there
fore, safely be subtracted, leaving for
settlement questions strictly political.
The first Of these hinges on the fact
that for six years the Office of city
treasurer has been held by a represent
tative of the Welsh-Americans of our
city. Another Welshman is now run
ming. Shall his countrymen vote a
want of confidence in their own race.
or shall they. by turning in solidly for
Daniel Williams, show that they be-
lleve the finances of the city will be
safe in this honest Welshman's hands?
Again. the defeat of Mr.. Williams by
Republicans would cause party trou-
ble for years to come, and is therefore
q possibility to be guarded against by
every Republican who, cares for his,

These organs are liable TO catarrh the

known as pelvic catarrh. and is very com
mon. It is not generally recognized as pei
vie catarrh. but is known by various names,
especially female diseases. The most COM
mon is the chronic stage. 1t does not gen
orally conine the patients TO the bed, but
permits them TO drag about trying to per-
form the duties of the day. The symptoms
vary in each case. but the most prominent
ones are usually tired out feeling, flashes
OF heat and cold irregular appetite, sleep
lessuess and nervousness. Both sexes are
liable TO pelvic catarrh. but it is most prev
aleat among women. especially during hot
ather.

A strange incident of the tragedy is the
attitude of Berryman's first wife, from
whom he was divorced i'm 1889.
She appears to be chief mourner, and
weeps necessarily.
As the curious crowd pushed into the
house of carnage this afternoon this former
wife was seated upon the steps conVulsed
with grief, and declaring between her sobs
that she had always loved Bergman from
the morning of her marriage. This former
wife refused to be comforted.
