The lion and the lamb have lain down to-
gether; that IS to say, the past hostility of the
Sun towards the Republican party has entirely
vanished and the Sun is the best Republican
Of them all. Therefore, it is time for the Sun
to discontinue its diseourses on true Democ
racy. When the Sun breaches Democracy
these days it reminds us too strongly of the
mediaayal salons Of France. where it was not
uncommon to find many treacherous woman
who. while she caressed pretended lover in
the softness of her velvety arms, at the same
time covertly directed the dagger of an assassin
whom she had hired for the occasion to per-
fidiously murder him. The Sun even now at
tempts these self-same caresses; aye, and she
has further attempted to work similar muir
der; but the Democracy cannot be killed.
Already that party has learned too much of
the SUMS per6dy to be caught dallying in its
arms at any future date. A rank betrayer is

The Railroad Claims Two Victims

From the Shippensburg News, September 3.
A most distressing accident occurred at Hunts
dale Franklin county, on the Reading Railroad,
twelve miles east of Shippensburg, Sabbath morn
ing, by which two mems lives were blotted out
The particulars of the disaster are as follows
About ten O'Clock Daniel Keller aged about 81
wears minister in the German Baptist Brethren,
started to drive from his home on the Pine Road at
Huntsdale to the church, short distance on the
other side of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road With him in the buggy was Philip Foust.
When the team was crossing the railroad tracks a
west bound freight come along and struck the
team, throwing all distance of fifty feet Both
the men being hard of hearing, and being earnestly
engaged in conversation, may have been the cause
of them not hearing the approach of the train in
time to prevent the accident,
The horse was so badly injured rs TO necessitate
it being killed at once, to end its suferng one of
its legs was broken and it was otherwise injured
The buggy was completely demolished.
Rev Keller had several ribs broken and his hip
badly injured. Mr. Foust's both legs were broken,
and a hip crushed. Both were seriously injured
internally.
Mr. Keller died the same evening about five
O'Clock, and Mr. Foust early Monday morning.
Rev. Daniel Keller was native of Lancaster
county, removing to this county over fifty years
ago. He was prominent minister oil the herman
Baptist Brethren, and was most excellent citizen
being upright, charitable and a kind neighbor
He is survived by his aged wife and the following
children BENZ. X, of Denver, Colorado; Daniel
and Harry of Wilson, Kansas; Mrs. George H.
Russell, Shppensburg; Mrs. Calvin Coover, Nc
Pherson, Kansas; Samuel, Bourbon Ind; Jacob and
Mrs Sarah Myers, Upton, Iowa: Mrs. Catharine
Brandt Dickinson, Pa.
Mr. Foust was native of Franklin county, hav-
ing been born near OrrstOwn, where he grew to
manhood, and followed milling for the past fifty
years. He resided in this county for forty years,
operating mills on the Big Spring, Yellow Breeches
etc He was aged u years, and is survived by his
widow, sons George, teacher in the York schools,
and Russell of Meehanicsburg, and one daughter,
Mrs David Halter of Leesburg. He was member
of the German Baptist Brethren Church, and was a
man greatly respected by all who knew him, for he
was a genial kindhearted man.
These distressing deaths have cast gloom over
the community in which they resided, and great
sympathy is expressed for those SO ruthessly
bereft of husband and father
Their funerals took place Wednesday morning
from the church near Huntsdale, and the services
were largely attended. The services were con-
Quoted by Revs Staymen, Hollinger Barton and
Pfoutz The interments were made in the yard
adjoining the church.

senator Chandler to be Active.

Senator Chandler, OF New Hampshire, is
likely to prove an important figure in the
United States Senate next winter Under
the Dingley law goods imported into the
United States from Canadian ports have to
pay an extra duty of ten per cent. How this
clause got in the law no one seems to come
forward and explain, while distinguished
Senators are declaring their entire ignorance
ofthe matter.
Senator Chandler, however, proposes TO
have the law changed at the session OF Con
gress next winter, and incidentally he may
have the matter of how the ten per cent adj
ditional duty got into section % of the Ding
ley law Investigated.
Senator Chandler is also bimetaliist, and
he wants the Republican party to stand by It's
st. Louis platform, and he will have several
resolutions to introduce into the Senate next
winter on the subject.
Senator Chandler may very seriously DIS
turb Republican harmony in the United States
Senate next winter,

BRYAN ON PROSPERITY
What He Says About Wheat and
Silver Parting Company Evidence
That We Have Too Little Money.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 5. The st. Lonis Post
Dispatch today will print letter from VIM.
j. Bryan, the first utterance after three months
of travel and observation during the return of
prosperity. Among other things he says:
''Wheat has risen because the foreign crop
has been exceedingly short.
1.-THE fact that silver and wheat have parted
company will cause no dismay to those who
understand that the law of supply and demand
regulate the price of both.
Nothing can better disclose the weakness
of the Republican position than the JOY mani
tested by the Republicans over events for
which their Administration and their politics
are in no wise responsible
''If the Republicans desire to claim credit
for the high price of wheat, they must assume
the responsibility for the famine in India. ~
"a great rise in price should be followed
by rise in wages.
Mr. Bryan says that the JOY over the in
crease of money from wheat is evidence that
we have too little money; that if the farmers
are benefited by the rise in one of their pro
ducts, how much better they would be it the
rise was universal; that the price of wheat
will fall when the foreign demand becomes
normal, and that The present spasmodie rise
will aid rather than injure the cause of bimet-
aliicm

Cashier struble's Death.

SHEPHERD, MICHIGAN, September s.-The
Coroner's inquest to determine how Elmer
f. Struble, cashier of the Farmers Bank
here, was killed on the morning of August q i,
began today. Detective McCarty and Prose
cutor Mcnamara say that they viii introduce
evidence before the close of the inquest which
will prove that Struble drew the forged check
signed Crank SUTTON which was eashed,
and then on Saturday morning, knowing the
bank to be bankrupt, shot himself. The
prosecutor will not disclose the nature of the
testimony, but asserts that he will show how
StrubIe fred the three shots, using his left
hand and firing the revolver back of him.
The revolver with which the shooting was
done was found hidden away in the corner of
the vault on Saturday. None of the towns
people believe this theory,

The Nominees.

The Democratic county convention was re-
convened on Monday last TO fill two vaeaacies
on the Democratic county ticket.
Mr.. Nicholas w. Steele, of Freedom dis
trict, manager of Oakland Wooden Mills, was
nominated to succeed Mr.. J. Oliver Wadlow,
nominee for Register Of Wills; and Mr.. James
w. Taylor, of Woolery's. was nominated for
the House of Delegates, in the place of Mr.
Nathaniel Bay. of the same district, who de-
elined.
Both of these nominees are competenti both
are Democrats, and there is no reason why
both should not poll the full Democratic vote
Ifthey do, both will be elected.

The Price of Wheat.

If confidence sent the price of wheat
upward, why did it confine its effect to that
one cereal? Corn, rye, oats and barley can
be bought as cheap today nearly as ever be-
fore in the history of this country. The plain
truth is that failure of the wheat crop
throughout the eastern continent created an
unprecedented demand for wheat and caused
its rise in value The wonder is that Re-
publican, who, knowing the facts is unjust
enough; or, not knowing the facts, is sutfi-
GENTLY ignorant to use the argument for po-
litical purposes, is able to find a reasonable
man who will listen to his clatter.

Potatoes Rotting.

MIDDBErowx, n. Y, Sept. s.-Farmers in
Orange and Sullivan counties are alarmed at
the condition of their potato crop and pre-
diet a potato famine. The tubers are rotting
as sOon as dug, and in some cases growers
have already suffered the loss of two-t thirds
of their crop, while the remainder is of an in
ferior quality, showing evidences of decay.
Several farmers who commenced to dig their
potatoes have abandoned the work, declaring
that not enough sound ones can be found to
pay the expense of harvesting.
