VICTORY IN DEFEAT.
AS all the returns will not be IN
when we go to press we assume,
from the present liz hts, that Messrs.
Wise and Alexander have been
elected by a small majority-say
100 in the entire parish. This, then
is by no means a victory for the
Fosters Com bination, and it will
not be so considered by the State
at large.
1t will not be o. erlooked that by
virtue of the one-term- Of office
clause we had arrayed against us
every officer in the parish, save
six that we can recall, and all know
the power that the cl erk, sheriff and
assessor as we'll as district attor-
ney can WELD.
The State will also bear in mind
that the Fosters combination
claimed this to be a harmony
ticket, that Messrs. Wise and AL
exander were selected as non

party and were put forward by a
petition signed by about 600 peo-
pie, many of whom thought Il

person will deny that the battl

Labor and the Machine.

What Quay Government Has Done
and Has Failed to do for the Work.
ing Man-The Several Counts in a
Telling Indictment of Boss Rule.
The treatment of labor by the Re.
publican interests in this state during
the year now closing, which has wit,
messed more complete domination Of
the state government by that party
than ever before, is fairly summarized
by the following incidents:
Legislative slaughter, or destruction
by amendment, of nearly all the meas
ures asked at its hands by the labor
organizations.
A useless and In fact utterly farcical
so-called investigation of the misera.
Bile condition to which Republican
policies have reduced the miners OF
the state, in which no effort worthy
the name was made to get at the real
facts, and for which wretched work
the Legislators attempted to grab from
the state treasury the sum of $1s,-
1920.
The veto of the company store bill
by Governor Hastings, this bill being
aimed at the overthrow of system by
which the miners are most mercilessly
robbed, legitimate business driven
from their towns and a condition of
general poverty maintained which is
scarcely removed from slavery.
The brutal SHOOTING down of a score
OF miners at Lattimer and the wound
ing OF many others, their only crime
having been a demand for Just little
share of the so-called Mckinley pros
perity. and the shooting being done
by IS sheriff's deputies, fully sixty of
whom were marshals and deputy mar.
shals, in the Mckinley demonstrations
last fall.
The employment of a whole brigade
OF state troops, at a Gust that. when
the bills are all in, will be found TO
aggregate fully quarter of a million
ioi no otler purpose than
OF compelling the strikers to return to
work at the operators terms.
lnjunctions galore from Republi.
can judges TO prevent free speech, free
/, ,ssssemblage and free use Of the public
highways in the interest of better con.
d'tions for the working people.
A demand from the Austrian gov.
ernment upon the government of the
United States for damages for the
families OF the men cruelty and unlaw-
fully butchered at Lattimer.
This need statement of the LEADING
facts needs no comment. The facts
themselves tell the humiliating story
IN all sufficient completeness and fully
explain why the wolkingmen who
ne ped by their votes to give Republi- |
cans victory last fall have since been

machine heelers, such as cost the late
deputy attorney general and secretary
OF the commonwealth their official
heads and awakened widespread in
dignation and alarm through the state.
In addition to these direct results,
the incidental gains to be reckoned
upon may be thus stated:
First. The final overthrow of Quay
ism.
Second. A reform state government
that, besides according honest admin
istration of the finances and impartial
execution of all laws, will insure to
the plain people as potent voice in
law-making as the machine, in return
for campaign funds and individual
bribes, has been in the habit of grant
ing to special interests only.
And all these are in sight, and can
be changed from possibilities into
verties, If only all those who in their
hearts desire reform will take advant-
age OF the exceptional chance the can
ddacy of Messrs. Brown and Ritter
affords.
Upon the Democrats the larger
share of the responsibility rests. They
include within themselves a consider
able majority of the reform forces of
the state. They alone have regularly
disciplined party, fully equipped for
campaign work. To them | appeal
especially for honest and earnest work
at this time. If those of different
partisan faiths. but equally solictous
tor the overthrow OF the machine and
a return to something like honest
government, will lend us their aid, |
give them my solemn pledge that, as
state treasurer and auditor general.
Michael E. Brown, esq, and Hon.
Walter E. Ritter will never betray.but
IN their every act will amply justify
the confidence reposed in them.

Chairman Democratic State Central
Committee.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-10-28

With the dissensions existing in the
Republican party, and with the
corrupt record of the last Legislature
disgusting thousands of good men who
have heretofore voted with that party,
there is every incentive for Demo
Gratis TO make a great effort this year
to redeem the state from the hands OF
plunderers who have been robbing
the treasury. This is no time for
apathy. Let every Democrat do his
duty on Tuesday next.

attach much importance to the results to follow such an expedition as An dree's even if 1t succeeded in crossing the pole. He is confident that 1t would not be possible for Andree to have alighted at the pole and then nave re- stunned his flight and thinks the best that he could have done would have been to cross the pole high in the air
 His expedition, however, would solve the question as to the existence of the open polar sea, which has been the sub- feet of so much controversy between Arctic explorers, but beyond being able to report upon that fact Andree prob- ably would have little of value to con- tribute to the present store of knowl- edge of the far north. In the opinion of Commodore Melville, assuming that this pigeon message Is genuine and from Andree there is grave reason to fear for the safety of the bold aeronaut. If following the line of the Meridian upon which he reported himself, he landed on the north coast of Alaska. not too far east of Point Barrow, he probably would fall in with some of the whalers who are still off the coast or some of the few natives along the shore. But if the balloon once crossed the coast range and landed in the in- tcrior there would be little chance of the explorers reaching civilization again.

fS sleep go on one side of the account It sums up health and strength. On the other side, are bad air, poor food, overwork and worry. That foots up weakness and disease.
 When your appetite or sleep is disturbed; :; when the stomach and liver are not work ing properly, or the bowels are not in regu- lar condition; you are losing vitality and strength; figures are going down on the wrong side of the ledger. Unless this IS stopped and the other side of the account Is built lip, you'll soon be physical bankrupt.
 The most profitable account a sick man can open in his Ledger of Life Is with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, g wonderful and scientific tonic which i'm parts direct and healthy stimulus to the entire nutritive organism. It strengthens the digestive fluids and the liver, and en- ables the blood making organs to produce pure, red, highly -vitalized blood.
 It is not a mere temporary exhllarator. It feeds the constitution with genuine, per manent power It writes big, round sums on the health side of the account, and wipes out the figures of weakness and dis ease. It anifnates the vital forces and builds up healthy fesh muscular energy and nerve-force.
 For nearly 3o years Dr. Pierce has been chief consulting physician of the lnvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. His formulas are everywhere Tecog- nized as the most effective remedies in the world.

Farmer Jackson's Remarkable Discov-
 cry.
 Lawrenceville, N J., July 22.-Wil- liam Jackson is wealthy farmer living between this town and Princessville. He has boy on the place of the name of Frank Bennett. Frank Bennett's principal duty is to milk the cows. The pug pup had often sat upon the grass and watched him.
 The boy thought it would be great fun a few days ago to give the pug a feed of milk direct from the COW, and taking careful aim, directed the stream into the dogs mouth The pug seemed to like 1t. Yesterday 1t was noticed that the COW failed to give her usual quantity of milk, and that the pug re- fused to eat themost tempting morsels of food, yet he was growing fat.
 Farmer Jackson discovered that the pug and the COW were on the very best of terms. He watched and was almost paralyzed to catch the obese pug suck ing the milk from the old COW and the COW treating the dog as affectlonateIy as her own calf
 The pug is now chained up like par racks tramp, and the COW is giving her usual quantity of milk. The pug IS los- ing flesh.
