There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, aud prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incura5e. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires corstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to q
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

ANARCHY OF THE UPPER AND LOWER
-t CRUSTS

There are several kinds of anarchy.
One is the anarchy of brutality, murder
and of annihilation.
Another is virtually the same with
the difference that its partisans commit
their unworthy deeds under cover of
law. Both are equally destructive and
both have the same end in view.
The former is practiced by monsters
who, being ignorant Of the real cause
underlying the evils which affect the So
cial body, believe that the only way to
rectify existing injustice is by rcsorting
to means malignant and outrageous
The latter kind Of anarchy is emulat-
ed by p1utocrats and all others who en-
joy exclusive privileges of whatever
kind or degree,
Unlike its less refined brother, it graf
ifles its desires with flnesse, with an
affected bonhomie and an 81 am holier
than thou" expression of countenance
that even its victims are apt to believe
that something else than this polished
genteel and dignilied appearing mass of
vlrulencc is the cause of all the ills from
which the body polite suffers. The
lowor stratum commits murder, theft
and arson.
The upper crust of anarchy, with and
by sanction of human enactments, robs
the masses of all save enough to exist
and to reproduce. 1t makes paupers,
criminals and harlotg. 1t promotes vice,
drives people to suicide and fills insane
asylums 1t evicts the poor and the un-
fortunate, cheats the widows and the
orphans. and it wakes fat on the misery,
the degradation and the immortality of
those whom it despoils.
The remedy?
Not brute force, not strikes and boy
colts.
Neither will trust in Providence nor
belief that the. ways of Providence are
past finding out result in the abolition
of anarchy i'll it's various forms.
People should vote for principles and
not for men. They should vote accord
ing to their convictions and not accord
ing to the amount of "soap" provided
for and by venal individuals.
Exclusive privileges to u few and
equal misery to all the rest is the breed
ing ground of anarchy. The application
of the law of equal freedom will forever
abolish all Objectionable anarchy,

tion by the people directly Of all fed
eral officials from president down to
postmaster, thus making them, indeed,
the servants of the people. AS the first
step toward the accomplishment of this
end, the people should, through their
state Legislatures, declare:
First, t,-That all just powers of gov
ernment are derived from the consent
of the governed, and all rightful au-
thority exercised over the people origi
mates with the people themselves.
Second. THAT all public trusts should
periodically return to the people after
limited terms of service; that all life
tcnures of office are aristocratic in their
nature and tendency and subversive of
republican, representative government.
Third. THAT all public officers should
be held directly responsible to the people
for the faithful and honest performance
of their official duties.
Fourth. THAT the Capitalization of
the powers of the government in the
hands of one man clothes him with all
the attributes of arbitrary and despotic
rule, whether that man be called en-
peror, czar, king or president, and
places in jeopardy the liberties of the
people; and the only safe and proper
mode of decentralizing so dangerous a
power is to return it to the people for
distribution by popular elections in
which tho majority rules.
Fifth. the government being
divided into three separate and distinct
departments-the legislative, the execu-
tive and the judicial-tho Just and i'm
partial administration Of the govern
ment requires that these departments
be kept independent of each other, and
that no person performing the duties
belonging TO one of these departments
should exercise any powers legally be-
longing to either Of the other depart
ments. To secure independence in each
of these departments no one department
should receive its appointment from
either of the other departments, but
each department should receive its au-
thority directly from the people by u
vote of the majority of the qualified
voters and be responsible to them for
their conduct in Office
Sixth. To this end the president and
vice president of the United States
should be elected by the direct vote of
the people unincumbered by the ma
chinery of the electoral college.
United States senators should be
elected by the direct vote of the people
of their respective states.
Judges of the United States supreme
court and the judges of the inferior
courts should be elected by the qualified
voters of their respective circuits and
districts
The United States marshals, district
attorneys, clerks of the federal courts
and internal revenue officers should be
elected by the qualified voters Of their
respective districts.

a Defect in the Mining Law.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The ItttStOn Gazette directs public at
tention to a curious defect in the mining
have now elapsed since the sixty victims
of the Twin shaft collapse were buried
alive in that Inflated mine. 1t is known
that the men entered the shaft and that
they never came out. The conclusion
that they have been killed is, therefore,
the only conclusion that sane man
could reach. And yet, as the Gdzette
shows, the coroner cannot legally pro-
ceed to fix the responsibility for the
death of any or all of the men unless at
least one body is recovered!
In this fact lies the reducto ad absur-
dun of an idea which had for its purpose
the protection of human life, not the
protection of those who willfully or neg
ligcntly sacrificed it. The law which
insists that a body must be found before
an inquest can be held was intended to
prevent the execution OF anyone for
murder unless the murder was proved.
- DONN NIiH IIlt HldI NN VI NIbltutt upon
it was prima facic evidence of the killing
and justified the 'crowncr's quest for
the assassin.
Obviously the stipulation was a wise
one. 1t prevented, for instance, execu-
tion of any man not friendly to another
if the latter merely disappeared, and in
its time has saved many innocent,
though suspected men. For it is easy
to understand how and why men might
suddenly disappear without dying and
nothing be heard of them, perhaps for
years, in the time when the law was
conceived.
But the PttSton incident is not Of
that character. Not one has ever hint
ed that it is The men were seen enter
ing the shaft and are know to be there
vet. The cause of their death is also
known. Only the responsibility is to
be fixed. Surely to take the ground
that nothing in that direction can be
done because no body has been found is
not that perfection of reason which is
said to belong to the law. 1t is the per-
lection Of nonsense. Where, as in this
case, there is no doubt of the killing
there should be means to bring the
responsible parties to justice at the
earliest possible moment.

LIVE QUESTIONS.
Series of Articles Contributed by
Advanced Thinkers.
TRUE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERN
MENT,

When our fathers formed this gov
eminent, they intended that it should be
a purely representative government
that the will of the people as expressed
through the ballot box should be the
supreme law of the land; that all the
officials charged with the performance
of public functions should be elected by
the people and be responsible to the
people; that the tenure of office should
be for only limited periods, and that
the trust and powers conferred upon
public officials should be returned by
them to the people at stated intervals.
Nothing was farther from the minds
and purposes Of the founders of this
government than the fastening upon tho
people of an army of officials whose
term Of service should be limited only
by life or good behavior. They never
contemplated and they never made pro-
vision for the creation Of an office hold
ing aristocracy fashioned after the Eng
lish system Of office tenure
The people have no choice in the Sc
lection of the more than 100, 900 Off
cials charged with the administration
of the affairs of the federal government,
and they are beginning to realize more
and more that this vast official army
does not depend upon the will of the
people for its existence, and is thcre-
fore, in nowise responsible to the people
for the proper discharge of their duties,
and that the members of this army too
often show supreme indifference con
corning the wishes or interests Of the
people whose servants they are popular
ly supposed to be,
The addition to the civil service lists
of 1000 federal officeholders by the
present administration is neither COM
forting nor reassuring to those who be-
lieve with Abraham Lincoln that this
is "a government of the people, by the
people and for the people"
There seems to be but one way to cor
rect the evils which are bound to flow
from the building up of an officeholding
aristocracy i'll this republic, and that is
to make this truly representative,
elective form of government. This can
be done only by providing for the cleo

by Presidents to perpctuate the power
of their parties the 60, 900 postmasters
in the United States should be elected
by the people of we'll defined districts
who are served by the mails
Eighth. THAT the people of the or
ganized territories should elect the ex-
ecutive, judicial and ministerial officers
of their respective territorial govern
ments.
Let these demands in the form of
memorials from state Legislatures be
presented to congress, and there can be
little doubt as to their being put into
effect by our federal legislature.
This will give the people of the Unit
ed States real representative government
and the only civil service reform that
ought to have place in any system of
Republican government

Thirty-one to four was the vote on the
silver plank in the IIazlcton convention
on Monday, and even the four dssenters
did not oppose it because they are
against silver but because they thought
the endorsement of the Democratic
national nominees was sufficient to state
the position Of the Democrats of the dis
trict. The delegates, however, wanted
to leave no room for doubt as to how
they stand on the issue, and the silver
plank was inserted with cheers. The
fourth district Democracy has the prold
distinction of being first to hold conven-
vention in Pennsylvania since the Chi
cago convention, and their overwhelming
endorsement of Bryan, Sewall and the
national platform does them honor as
Democrats and citizens.

We hold: That this world is the crca-
tion of God. The men brought into it
for the brief period of their earthly lives
are the equal creatures of his bounty,
the equal subjects of his proyidcnt care.
By his constitution, man is beset by
physical wants, on the satisfaction of
which depends not only the maintenance
Of his physical life, but also the develop
ment of his intellectual and spiritual
life. God has made the satisfaction Of
these wants dependent on mans own
exertions, giving him the power aud
laying on him the injunction to labor.
God has not put ON man the task of
making bricks without straw. With
the need for labor and the power to la
Dor he has also given to man the ma
terial for labor. This material is lard-
man physically being land animal,
who can live only ON and from land
and can use other elements, such as air,
sunshine and water, only by the use of
land. Being the equal creatures of the
Creator, equally entitled under his PROV
idence to live their lives and satisfy their
needs, men are equally entitled to the
use of land, and any adjustment that
denies this equal use of land is morally
wrong. Henry George in 1.-THE Condi-
tion of Labor. -

Strong Platform and Strong Candidate


The platform adopted by the Demo
Gratis of the fourth district is not il
lengthy document, but it contains a
great deal more sound logic than the
general run of such political proclama-
lions, Moreover, it thoroughly represents
the sentiment Of the party in the dis
trct, and does not contain Il line which
cannot be accepted by every Democrat.
1t speaks plainly upon the live issues of
the day, and there are neither straddles,
juggIcs nor bubbles INDUCED in.
When it is considered that the plat
form, as whole, was adopted by the
representatives Of the party without Il
dissenting voice, and was followed by
the selection of man who stands
SquarGly upon it and gives his pledge to
support it, the Democracy of the dis
trict can confidently appeal to the
voters for support of the nominee.

strength which bring his election with.
