His Assaiiant Arrested.

Willard Wooden was before Justice Coyle
last evening charged by Thomas Courtney
with stabbing him with knife, with intent
to kill. The allIay, it will be remembered
occurred about ll.3O O'Clock Saturday even
ing, April 25th, in hallway of Dunkle's res
taurant Mahanoy City Both boys had at
tended dance in Armory hall during the
early part Of the evening" and are said to
have had dispute over some girls. The
town was crowded with people, it being the
anniversary Of the founding Of American
odd Fellowship, celebrated by big parade.
The ailray caused great excitement Wooden,
fearing arrest, skipped out of town, while
Courtney hovered between life and death for
a week or more. The wound he had re-
ceived was inflicted with pocket knife, the
blade Of which was about four inches long.
Wooden, on hearing that Courtney was out of
danger and on fair road to recovery, re-
turned to town. Courtney continued to i'm
prove and to-day is as well as he has been
for many years. The arrest last evening, so
long after the assault, was surprise The
facts Of the case were all rehearsed before
the Justice, and Wooden was required to
furnish $500 bail for his appearance at
court.-MahanOy City Record.

HONESTY AND DISHONESTY.
Not Reform but Revolution That Is Of
fered by the Bryan Men.

Not Reform but Revolution That Is Of
fered by the Bryan Men.
Mr.. Hamlin, assistant secretary of the
treasury, is Democrat Of many years
standing When such men as Mr.. Ham
lin declare that no political issue is in
volved in the coming election they must
be listened to with respect. THE question
to be decided" says the assistant secre-
tary, sis far deeper and more vital. Every
loyal citizen should ally himself against
the forces which controlled the Chicago
convention. Henoeforth there: :shouldsbe
no Republican, no Democrat, but "A union
of loyal citizens against the combined
forces of repudiation and disorder"
Party lines are more or less obllterated.
There will be great bolt from the Demo
cratic ranks. Such silver Republicans as
follow the leadership of Senator Teller
will desert the Republican party. 1t is
not question of Mckinley and Bryan. 1t
is no longer a simple controversy between
protection and free trade for the Demo
cratic party has abandoned its free trade
position. The one great issue is: Shall
we have free silver and place in the White
House n man devoted to the teachings OF
anarchy, or shall we maintain our hon.
esty and self respect among the other ma
tions of the globe? Mckinley is leading
the forces of national integrity.
Bryan is at the head of those who would
repudiate, disrupt, tear down and destroy
the property of the rich and the poor alike
1t is not an assault upon the rich man
| Capital and labor are not involved. 1t il

who earn wages by the day 1t is an at

robs him of his just stipend, 1t leaves hin
plundered and his home destroyed.
This is the great issue that is mt stake
1t is not question Of Republicanism o
of Democracy. There will be time enougl
to talk about party principles after thi
election is over Under the one banne
must assemble all who believe in prosper
ity, honesty and integrity Under tn
other banner must fight those who woul
revolutionize and seek personal prof
from those who would suffer-
1t is not reform, but revolution, that

There Is no getting away from this MI
Hamlin is right, 1t Is not a political Is

WRITERS Of campaign documents are
very apt to fall into the error Of making
them too long The Republican managers
have discovered this fault in their campaign
essays. Except to comparatively few the
reading of labored dissertations upon political
subjects is task from which the mass Of
readers generally care little about under
taking Those with whom it is most i'm
portuut to deal and argue are not Of the most
intelligent. They stand on the same plane
though, with the greatest men in the land
when they come to the polls, Their votes
are what is wanted, and in order to secure
them by argument they must not be asked to
wade through elaoorately prepared essays on
the currency and other issues. Short and
sweet should be the rule in the preparation
of campaign documents.

THAT the Democracy of this state, includ-
ing Schuylkill county, is not in favor Of the
nominees nor the platform of the Chicago
convention is fully demonstrated by the fact
that call has been issued for meeting of
sound money Democrats to be held in Phila-
dephia next week. Those Democrats Of
the county who repudiate the Popocrat
nominee, will send representatives to Potts
willie tomorrow, when delegates will be
selected to represent the county at the state
convention. The Democrats Of New York,
under the leadership of the brainy and elu-
quent Cochran, have sounded the bugle call,
and Pennsylvania will rally her forces and
follow the example of the Empire state, The
ranks Of the SchuylEill Democracy include
hundreds Of good Democrats who will assist
any movement tending to overthrow the
men who have captured the machinery Of n
once great party. These men repudiate
Bryan, but reverence the names Of jefferson,
of jackson and of TIden-men who are
Democrats from principle,

MISS oVERMAN's CONFESSION.
Charges Against Rev. Dr. Brown Re

nswed by His Chief Witness.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-Miss Matte
Overman, Of Tacoma, Wash, the young
lady who gained unpleasant notoriety
through her connection with the scandal
which eliminated in the disruption of the
First Congregational church, of San Fran
cisco, and the disbarment of its pastor,
DIR. G. o. Brown, from the fellowship of
the church, has repented and confessed
her guilty relationship to the unfrocked
minister.
Before the ecclesiastical council which
investigated the charges of unministerial
conduct preferred against DR.. Brown Miss
Overman testified that she had been guilty
of forgery and prevarication Through
pique at her inability to win DR.. Browns
affection, she testified, she had forged let
ters to Mrs Tunnel discriminating the
pastor, and had afterwards told number
less falsehoods in connection therewith,
and that DIR. Brown had forgiven her and
treated her us an errlng child.
This story Miss Overman now AYERS to
be false in every respect. She solemnly
declares that DIR. Brown accomplished her
ruin and had been guilty of Illicit rela-
tions with her on numerous occasions,
which she specified. Her previous story,
she states, had been carefully rehearsed in
the Brown residence before the pastor 5
family for weeks prior to the meeting of
the conference. DR.. Brown promised TO
protect her provided she stood by him and
perjured herself to save his reputation.
This he neglected to do.
