DEMOCRACY AND SILVER.

There is considerable uncertainty as to the
attitude Of the Democrats on the financial
question when they assemble in national COLI
veution at Chicago. Evan p. Howell, Of
Georgia, says in speaking Of the free silver
men, IF we can not get what we want in
Chicago we will walk out and 90 oil and form
a party of our own" Mr.. Howell is the
editor of the Atlanta Constitution, one Of the
most influential Democratic papers in the
South. Unquestionably the silver end of the
Democracy in Georgia is the big end, though
the other faction seems to be active and
hopeful. This element is showing an example
which ought to shame its side in some of the
other states into work
There is a chance, says the st. Louis Demo
crat, that some Of the threats which have
been made Of bolts at Chicago are bluff,
designed to frighten the sound money side
into submission, and are not intended TO lie
carried out. Tillman'5 incendiary talk, or
most of it, is probably of this order Yet
Tillman controls the delegation of his state,
and very likely can make it do his bidding,
even to the extent Of repudiating his party S
candidate and platform if these are for gold
To be sure, the primacy in the southern
States which South Carolina snatched from
Virginia when Calhoun went to the front in
the '3Os' and which she held along to 1851
has been lost since, yet possibly if she left
the convention some Of the other states of
her locality would follow her as they did
when she left the Union A large part of the
South is tainted with the free silver virus in
1896, as it was with the secession poison
thirty-siX years ago. A bolt engaged in by
Georgia. the Empire State Of the South, u
would be especially dangerous.
Probably the silver crusade in the De
mocracy is not quite as formidable as iii
champions believe or pretend, but it seem
to be gaining in strength in the party in the
South and West. 1t is immensely aided by
the inactivity of the sound money side
Apathy has attacked most Of the gold Demo
cratic leaders A sort of Chinese fatalisn
has seized them, and in a stolid and despair
ing way they watch the silverites captur
delegation after delegation, and appear t
think that the disaster which awaits thei
party is a decree of destiny which can not b
averted.
Heretofore, in fights on finance, the con
servatye element Of the Democracy ha
managed to save the extremists from then
selves, but in this instance the latter ar
allowed to work their own will without an
serious opposition from their party.
1t has been within the power Of the gol
element of the Democracy TO not only contr'
their National Convention, but to create
sentiment which would crush out all tn
spirit Of revolt among the silver men, bu
their opportunity for doing either is pas
ing quickly trIlu thcm.

MINE ACCIDENTS.

We take the following interesting article
from the Philadelphia Times. 1t will prove
interesting for the HERALD's many readers
interested in coal mining. Speaking of the
annual report of the mine inspectors, our
contemporary says it again calls attention to
what has been painfully impressed upon the
public mind by numerous fatal mine accidents
in the past, the fact that the best and most
carefully considered laws for the protection
and safety of the miners can easily be rem
dered Of no effect by the carelessness Of the
miners themselves.
Every session of the Legislature for the
past twenty years has had this subject under
consideration with the net result that care
fully drawn laws covering almost every con-
ceivable detail of the process Of mining have
been enacted and are enforced by inspectors
appointed because Of their practical and
technical knowledge. In spite of laws and
competent inspectors, however, fatal mine
accidents are of common occurrence
Why? Because no code of mine laws and
no Board of Inspectors, however faithful and
competent can compel careless miners to

THE HONEST SHAKERS AND THEIR CURE
FOR DYSPEPSIA,

The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying
with regard to the quality of his goods, and
the grocer or the butcher who gives us short
weights, is a thief However, their knav-
cry touches nothing but our pocketbook.
There is another widespread form Of mis-
representation Of far more dangerous and
yillainOus character
We refer to the false statements and worth
less guarantees that frequently accompany
medicines. To guarantee a medicine TO cure
is to brand it as a quack product. If we can
guarantee 20 cure disease then we can
guarantee everlasting life, for in large
majority of cases people die of disease, the
proportion of violent or accidental deaths
being very small
The Shakers have always been known as
a most upright and honorable people, and
their success in the manufacture of medicines
has also been well known. 1t Is therefore not
surprising to find them pursuing very
original and novel plan for the introduction
of their remedy for dyspepsia,
These God-fearing people, whose motto
has always been Try all things and hold
fast that which is good, have put upon the
market ten cent sample bottles OF thelI
product OF sufficient to give it trial
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so prompt
i'm its action that for the trivial sum of ten
cents q person can usually determine as tC
whether or not it meets the requirements Of
his case. There are forms Of dyspepsia which
it won't help, but these are very rare. In
most cases the first dose relieves all distress,
and an increase of appetite at once follows
All druggists have it, and the next time
YOU are troubled with Indigestion senC
out and try this popular and successful
product, 1t represents nearly a hundred
years Of patient Investigation and study,

Was in Predicament
The average hotelkeeper may haveI the
appearance Of unstinted prosperity and hIappi-
ness and their shirt fronts may glitter with
diamonds, but the bed of the bouiface 1is by
no means one of roses at all times ais the
proprietor of the Commercial Hot9el can
testify. The aforesaid proprietor wals in a
trying position this morning and it tlyas all
due to his corps of servants protestinpE against
his interference with their mode antS choice
of pleasure.
Last Tuesday evening six of the girls at
tended a dance in Robbins opera ltlouse with
an equal number of guests of th9l hotel and
subsequently continued their gooPd time The
n9xt morning the girls weIe late and
the boarders who wanted to 4 catch early
tr iins had to wrestle witJi very hot
liblcs. OF course the boa Eders kicked.
81 did the landlord. The girls said
nothing They took the lecturles with appar-
enJ good grace. In the language of one
of them, eve waited for ourI own, proper,
go ID, elegant time, and den h3e never knew
wlat struck him. Seel"
| At all events five of the six girls achieved
their revenge for the lectuI les last night.
The sixth fell asleep and KIN lew nothing of
the affair until her colleaguesL had departed
At eight o'clock one of thde girls took a
station in the yard of the hol tel and caught
the bundles of wearing apparel thrown to
her by the other girls from Fhe windows of
their rooms. Then one off them stationed
herself outside the board feIice at the rear of
the hotel and received the bundles as they
were passed to her through IA coal hole. This
having been accomplished four OF the girls
boarded an electric car foR their homes in
Mahanoy City. The fifth sought the old
homestead at Ashland. When the hotel
clerk went to call the girls this morn
ing he found only onej on hand to get
breakfast The proprietor, however, was
equal to the emergency, and with his
wife, the clerk anA the remaining
girl formed a relief pal rty and in due
time the boarders god their fare. A
