PoTTsv1LLE LETTER.
The Lyon-Dunn Contest Proceeds Slowly
Again,


PoTTsvLLE, July 7.
The argument in the Lyon-Dunn contest
was not completed yesterday as Mr.. Schalck
occupied most Of the session with his argu-
ment ON the admission of the voting and
ballot check lists. Mr.. Berger was ready to
argue his side of the case at once, but the
court adjourned until to-day, at 10 a. m, and
witnesses who were summoned to be present
to-day were ordered not to appear. Mr..
Berger began his argument promptly after
the court opened this morning and, like Mr..
Schalck quoted profusely from law books.
In referring to the incompetency of Assessors
he said that when rule was taken
on a certain Assessor to show cause
why registration should not be made
according to law the other side defended the
Assessor This caused denial of any
interest or knowledge in the matter by Judge
Dunn, who said it was an attack on his
integrity and he was present to defend it,
Mr.. Berger closed his argument at IL a. m.
and was followed by Mr. Whitehouse for the
respondent. He said that he agreed with
both sides that the points to be argued were
an important factor and that the contest had
| taken a serious change in the last few weeks.
| When the contest was begun the Contestant
was going to show how an office had been
obtained by the fraud of voters now they
are going to prove that the voters were de-
frauded by the Commissioners and their
clerks. At 1880 Mr.. Whitehouse was arguing
the point Of placing voters names on the
registry list,

The satolIi Succession.

WASHINGTON, July THE report that
Bishop Falconio, of AcerenZa, Italy, viii
succeed Cardinal Satolli as papal ablegate
to the United States is not credited by high
Catholic officials here, who regard the ap-
pointment of Bendetto Lorenzelli, the in
ternuncio at The Hague, Holland, as much
more probable. All statements up to this
time however, are practically mere guesses
At the papal legation no communication
has been received from the pope since last
month, when Satolli was practically asked
TO defer his departure until his successor
had been announced.

Informing the OLD Gentleman.

She had accepted him, says Harper S
Bazaar, and he was very happy, until she
broke in on his bliss by suggesting that
the little formality of seeing papa had
better be gone through without delay. IT
would be all right, of course No paren-
tai objection would be made, but he must
be asked for his consent, just as though
he really had some say about the matter
[. The young man demurred. He shrank
from telling Mr.. Dnsmore that he loved
Ida and Ida loved him. and that Idas
papa's consent to their engagement was
all that was necessary to make them
happy. He said he would see Mr. Dius-
more later. He said he would write to
him. He said he would call him up by
reasons why Mr.. Dinsmore ought not to
be bothered that night. Perhaps he was
smoking in his den Perhaps he lad gone
to bed. Perhaps he was not at home.
Ida would listen to none of these ex-
cuses. Papa was in the house. and he had
not gone to bed. and he was not so alb
sorbed that he could not be seen, and he
must be asked that very night If Mr..
Sanderson would not ask him. Miss Dins-
more herself would breach. the subject.

No Secret Society poIItics.

of the influence of the American Protec-
Ittive Association in politics in Massachu-
! setts. An instance of the failure of the
I9association in political matters was re-
Gently given in this county, and there has

ciety, though as a matter of fact the "Sil-
Yer knights do not amount to a great
deal There was promise some months
ago that the organization would grow and
flourish. But the reaction came when the
order was only few months old, and
it has never been able to make itself
power in any community. Senator Stew

dence Of people, even If his order were
end of the country to the other as mo-
nomaniac on the subject of silver, an in
consistent and self-seeling politician,
member of the Clique of milltonaires from
the far west who have been time and
again charged with purchasing their seats
in the Senate for the purpose of furthering
their own personal fortunes.
Stewards order, by the way. has been
found Objectionable. 1t requires the TAX
ing of an oath of secrecy and obedience
to the orders of the wirepullers of the
machine. 1t exacts a pledge that the can
dIdate for membership will devote himself
to the 16 to / cause, and do anything that
may be necessary to further that cause.
Its oath-bound members are arrayed
against all employers, and capital In every
form, for the benefit of Stewart and the
other silver mine owners.
One of the men who dealt this scheme
of Stewards a blow between the eyes
was no less a parsonage than William ].
Bryan. He was approached in Lincoln,
Neb., several months ago. and asked to
become "silver knight" He declined,
promptly and emphatically. Asked his
reason for declining, he replied: "This
Othe silver question: is political question
which concerns every man, woman and
child in the United States, and in my
opinion 1t is entitled to an open and fear
less discussion. l do not think secret So
cieties afford the best means for the dis
cussion of political questions"
That opinion is in consonance with the
spirit of American institutions. In this
government, by and for the people, all of
the people have a right to know all that
is going on in politics. and to take a hard
in the settlement of all political ques-
tions. There is no room in this country
for political mafias, or highlander So
cieties, or ku-klux, or regulators. The
demand of the people is that their poll
tics shall be open and above board.

Marion Harland, in Harper's Bazaar.
We pass this way but once, dear heart!
Musing above the birch logs flare,
The booming of the mighty mart
Borne to us through snow-laden air,
Our talk is of LIES little day
Between us and the embers glow
A phantom waivers, spent and gray,
The Year that died awhile ago.
We pass this way but once. The seeds,
From lax or heedful hands that fall,
Will yield their kind Lush, noisome weeds,
Our wild remorse cannot recall;
Sweet herbs of grace and goodly grain
We idly strew or plant with prayers
Others will reap, for loss or gain,
And, cursing us, will burn our tares.
We pass this way but once Though hard
And steep the climb through binding
heat
And cruel frost, and sharp the shard
'Gainst which we dash our hurrylng feet,
Our toll and hurt leave scanty trace
A blood-stain on a displaced stone,
Vague lettering on a bowlder' face,
Perchance the echo of a moan.
We pass this way but once. The Joy
That might be ours to-day, withheld
CAS- you might daily with toyD,
Changes, like fairy-gold Of ED,
To withered leaves that mock our tears.
The love denied, the hope delayed,
Whate'er the wealth of future years,
Remain, for aye, a debt unpaid
With thy true eyes on mine, dear heart
AS at the margin of the sea
Which thee and me one day must part,
Forgive all that l would not be.
Assoi thou me, while east out
Dark fancies that have wrought me
pain;
Let loves strong faith bear down weak
doubt;
We shall not pass this way again.
