OF OURSELVES.

OF OURSELVES
We wish you to know that
we do the largest FINE DRY
GOODS business in Northeast
ern Pennsylvania.
We wish you to know this,
not by way of brag; but,
because it means something
to you.
1t means this: The big
gest business, the greatest
power ; the greatest power,
the firmest control of the
markets; the frmest control,
the best goods and lowest
prices. A reasonable con-
clusion (while this is not a
cheap store) it is the best
store tor the economically
minded purchaser. We are
aware that all this interests
you only as it affects your
purchasing power and price
economics; and these are the
matters which we wish you
to test.
And we wish YOU to know
that we are our own i'm
porters, having an office in
Paris, which is in close touch
with the designers and pro-
ducers of foreign apparel and
fabrics. This makes our
store worth visiting.
Fifteen daily trains OH the
D. g. H. R. r. and c. r. r.
of N. Jail reaching Wilkes
Barre, before the close of
business, make a visit an
easy possibility.
If you are in Wilkes Barre
you will come here. If You
can't come, you can write.
Write us especially about
your needs in SILKS, DRESS
GOODS, SILK WAISTS, WRAPS,
COSTUMES, TRIMMINGS, LAC
ES, EMBROlDERlES, HANDKER-
CHIEFS, CARPETS, and DRAP-
ERlEo, we are DISPENSERS of
INFORMATION in these lines.
OF OUR SUIT EXPOSITION.
1t is not only a mercantile
enterprise, but it is a demon.
stration of power Of beauty,
excellence, style and ex-
clusiveness. Many visitors
have come and gone,
and few have gone without
first leaving an order for a
copy of All imported model or
leaving their address for the
sending of one of the many
dress ideas of foreign or do
mestic production. The con-
sensus of opinion is unanim
Gus, and unanimously favor
able. And why not? Our
showing is greater than ever
before. Greater because of
the reception given by the
women of Wilkes-Barre land
many from Scranton, too) to
our importations of the past
two years, thus prompting us
to double our imports this
Fall. But not all are foreign
ideas. The best of leading
New York houses are using
our Suit Department as dis,
play room for their cleverest
products.
Will you be our guest, or
will you write us We are
ready for you and WELL
READY. In either case we
can entertain you; either
with our show, or with a full
description of your designated
want.
IF you write, address

The Peace Commissioners in
Paris are jollyjng with each other
in an effort to settle the Philippine
question. They are blue and yel-
low booking each other with week
ly periodicity in which the claims
of the two nations are set up and
as regularly knocked down. There
can be but one outcome Of the
whole question, and that is the
Philippines will become an Ameri-
possession. While it is the duty
of good citizens to uphold the gov
ernment in a contention with a
foreign power yet we seriously
doubt the wisdom of annexing the
Philippines. The alien character
of its population; the distance OF
the islands from the home govern
ment are reasons we'll known and
often urged why the Philippines
should not be annexed, yet there
are other reasons more potent why
it should be combatted. With the
Philippines in our possession this
government will at once become a
party to all the international COM
plication and questions Of the ORR
ent and from a peace footing there
can be no doubt but that the ulti-
mate outcome of our folly will be
to place this government on a
war footing. A large standing
army and navy is burden to tax
payers, a menace to peace and an
obstacle in the path OF the industri-
al. moral and intellectual develop
ment Of a nation. If the Philip
pines are annexed northern capital
whose natural tendency is south,
especially now that valuable posses
sions have been added almost within
sight of our coast, will be attracted
TO it and this will be at the expense
Of the South. Instead of paying
thirty millions for the Philippines
spend it on the Nicarauguan cana'
that we may develop and contro.
the increasing trade and commerce
Of the growing republics Of South
America.

North Carolina has just gone
through Mississippi's experience Of
1916. Following close upon the
redemption Of the state from popu-
list republican control came the res
cue of the state from negro domina-
ton. The storm broke in Whining
ton. A negro newspaper Office, that
had reflected upon the chastity
Of the white women Of the state, was
wrecked and burned and eleven ne
gro leaders were killed. In a twink
ling the republican officers Of the
city resigned and the government o
the city passed into democratic con-
troll. There is a lesson in this
episode for the negroes Of the south.
It should be a warning to them to
keep out of politics and pursue
peacefully their vocations. The
South is the white mans country
and he will rule.

The State mourns the loss Of one
Of its nobIest women in the death
of Mrs. Annie c. PeYton. Her life
was a beautiful example Of the good
one can do in this world. In thous-
ands of homes in Mississippi to-day
where she has left the impress Of
her life, through her teaching, there
will be sorrow and sadness.

without its surprises and disap-
pointments to both political par
ties. While this is true it must be
said that the democrats had a shade
the better Of the contest. There
were many reasons why this should
have been a great republican year.
The war which was fought so val
iantly and which has added already
to our possessions and promises to
add more, occurred under a repub-
lican administration and that par
ty has claimed the credits and hon
ors therefrom. It went before the
country on this record asking an
endorsement OF it. The result
shows that the American people
award the honor of the victorious
war to no political party but to
Americans.
The election OF Roosevelt in New
York is a surprise to the country.
Democrats all over the land had
watched this contest with keen in
terest, believing that the united
democracy Of the Empire State
would wrest its government from
Platt's control, but they are disap-
pointed. The rural districts of
New York are strongly republican
and while Roosevelt's majorities
showed a distinct loss in compari-
son with Blacks vote two years
ago, he entered Kings county
with votes enough to overcome
Greater New York's handsome
democratic majority for Van Wyck
and was elected by about 20, 900
votes. Roosevelt's election
may not prove such a disap-
pointment after all What all
good citizens would like to see is
New York out of the clutches of
Plat and his ring. Roosevelt is a
picturesque figure, a man of cour-
age and independence, and while
for political reasons his individual
ty has been lost in the campaign, it
is believed when governor he will
break with Platt and fulfill his
election promises-something
candidate seldom attempts to do
The result in North Carolina is
the cause for rejoicing not alone
for democrats all over the land but
especially to the democrats Of the
South, who were deeply interested
in seeing white supremacy restored
in the Tar Heel State. The fusion
of Populists and unprineipled re-
publicans in that State has been
forever broken and the State has
been freed OF the danger Of black
heels on white necks in the future.
The result in North Carolina gives
the South qualification for it re.
stores this State to democratic con-
troll and again unites it in the
Solid South.
The general result ofthe election
throughout the country will be to re-
tain bothbrauches of Congress under
republican control. The majority
in the house will not be large, but
it will be large enough to begin the
work ofunseating democratic mem
bers until a Safe, working majority is
insured. While republican pres
ident and senate are in control it is
we'll for the house to be republican
also. With the house democratic
the policy of the republican party
would be to do nothing and lay the
blame upon a democratic house for
tieing their hands. Republican
Legislation in the next two years il
bound to be of two characters. 1
good itcan do the country no harm
If bad it will add to the long lis
of indictments by which the re
n,,hlicans are To be arrainned !,

There is being manifested by the
people Of Columbus an apathy to-
wards the water and sewerage
movement that presages its defeat
in the forthcoming election. The
same indifference to the success
Of this vital issue that encompassed
its defeat when submitted to the
people is manifest now and unless
this condition Of things changes the
issue will again be defeated. The
people Of Columbus must awake to
the importance Of carrying this
election. The question has been
submitted twice and twice defeated.
It is before them the third and last
time and if defeated now may nev-
er be heard from again.
Our water system is wholly mad
equate to meet the demands made
upon it. It does not furnish
enough water for domestic, manu-
featuring or FIRE purposes. Only
comparatively small section of the
city has water mains. Even this
section is without water from elev-
en- at night to four in the morning
when the supply has TO be shut off
to insure fire protection to limited
area. The supply is not large
enough to meet the demands Of
manufacturing purposes. This is
shown by the oil mill, ice factory,
Alexander's mill, electric light
plant, congresses and other manu-
featuring concerns being compelled
to bore their own wells instead Of
depending on the public system.
Think OF the loss Of revenue 10 the
city from these sources alone. The
present system is wholly made
quate to meet the demands Of FIRE
purposes. Only a small section ofthe
city is protected and this so mea-
grely that it is almost equal to none
at all. During the dead Of winter
with all reservoirs full and with the
city pumps going at their greatest
capacity the Mayo & Weaver FIRE
demonstrated that Our supply
lasted only few hours. Had this
fire occurred in the summer when
the water protection is almost
nothing the greater part Of the
business section of Columbus
would have been laid in ashes and
ruins.
There is another reason for a
better system Of water and a system
Of sewerage. Thousands Of dol
lars of property is taxed for fire
protection and it gets none. This
unprotected area is vastly on the
increase. Homes are going up
and manufacturing enterprises are
being erected. They are being
taxed for water and getting none
This unjust discrimination against
these sections should be remedied.
The view that all citizens Of this
place should take of this question
is that it is a step in the right di-
rection, tits advancement, progress,
development. 1t means a greater
city and a consequent increase OF
business. It means better health
and better rates of insurance. il
is an invitation to capital, to enter.
prise, to residents. It signifies
that Columbus is one of the bright
and promising towns of the
South and her citizens have thai
confidence in her future that war
rants her material improvement. Il
means more people, more industry
more wealth and more prosperity
for our town. No citizen whC
{ views the future Of Columbus will
solicitude can afford to oppos,
t these Improvements.

Those Dreadful Sores

They Continued TO Spread In Spite
OF Treatment but Now They are
Healed a Wonderful Work.
"For many years have been q great
sufferer with varicose veins on one Of my
limbs. My foot and limb became dread
fully swollen. When stood up could
feel the blood rushing down the veins Of
this limb. One day accidentally hit my
foot against some object and a sore broke
out which continued to spread and was
exceedingly painful I concluded !
needed blood purifier and began taking
Hoods sarsapariila. In a short time
those dreadful sores which had caused
me SO much suffering, began to heal. ]
kept on faithfully with Hoods sarsapa-
rilla, and in a short time my limb was
completely healed and the sores gave me
no more pain. cannot be too thankful
for the wonderful work Hoods sarsapa-
rilla, has done for me-" MRS. A. =.

Licata, on the south coast Of Sicily,
at the mouth of the Salso, the ancient
Himera, is about TO build large com
mercial harbor in the expectation of
drawing the trade from the east that
now goes to Naples and Brin1isi, as it is
on the direct route from Port Said to
Giberaltar.
Eerviers, the frontier station on the
BelgiaH-Cerman frontier, where trav-
elers are subjected TO the annoyance of
the custom house inspection, happens
to be the birthplace of Vieuxtemps, the
violinist. The town is going to set a
bronze statue to its one distinguished
son.
Burma grows hard wood called
Pyinkadoe which, the British have
found, makes excellent railroad sleep
ers. The willy Burmese. however, who
sell the wood, having discovered that
the British engineers know little about
il, have taken to dying cheap wood a
reddish color and pa,mipg it off for
Pynkadoe.

Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1898-09-03

We denounce the hypocracy and in-
sincerity of the Republican party which
after pretending in the St. Louis con-
vention 10 1896 to favor the free coinage
of silver by International agreement
with the leading commercial nations of
the world and called to power on that
solemn pledge, through its present adj
ministratiou formulated and sent to
congress bill thoroughly committing
the country TO the gold standard, retir-
ing the sreenbacks and turning over
the control OF the nations currency to
the national bank.
| We denounce the Republican party
for its failure to keep the solemn pledge
made in its last national convention to
urge the passage by congress of the sat
| isfactory free homestead measure,
which has already passed the house and
was then pending in the senate, for the
reason that such failure of legislation
has retarded the development of our
state ana caused many Of our deserving
citizens to abandon or loose their other
wise valuable possession.
We extend to the women voters of
Idaho the right hand of fellowship and
congratulate our commonwealth on the
advance which she has made toward a
higher civilization in comforting upon
woman the political equality which
has heretofore so wrongtully withheld
from her.
We congratulate the state on the
economical, business-like management
that has prevailed under the present
state and county government, and We
pledge the Democratic party of the
state OF Idaho to continuation of a
clean and economic government.
We demand such legislation as will
prevent the live stock OF non-residents
pasturing upon the lands of Idaho with
out contributing equally with our own
citizens in the burdens of taxation.
We believe that the laborer in what
ever vocation engaged is worthy of his
hire, and inasmuch as the fee system
of remuneration Of public officers is sus-
ceptible of abuse, we declare ourselves
in favor of the salary system Of remun-
Grafton of public officials and favor such
reasonable salaries as viii warrant COM
petent citizens to aspire to public place
in state and county positions.
We urge upon our senators and repre-
sentatiyes in congress TO do all in their
power in favor of an open river to the
sea, thus reducing the freight on our
products at least one-half.
