The figures for 1898 are the official es-
Inmates of the state treasurer. He cal
culates the probable receipts, and he
puts down the actual obligations. BY
the end of the year, therefore, If all the
obligations are in the meanwhile met,
the state will have expended, during
the four years of Governor Hastings
administration, s6,570.5S1 more than it's
income.
But there was a real balance left over
from Governor Pattison's last year.
1894.
Auditor General Gregg (Republican)
spoke of that balance in his annual re-
port for that year as follows: After
noting that the nominal balance was
$5.014,942. he said: "Of the amount paid
into the state treasury Gas personal
property tax) there remains to be paid
back to the counties $1,273, $500. This
should properly be deducted from the
reported balance, in order to ascertain
the real, which deduction being made,
would show a real balance Of $3,SO7,-
1852
While we may point with pride to
the existence of this large balance,
1t must not be too readily assumed that
1t will prove an unmixed blessing. It's
very existence will invite applications
for its appropriation to purposes neith-
er necessary nor deserving. The reve-
nues of the state are at present ample
to meet it's expenses If economically ap-
Piled"
And then this Republican auditor
went on to recommend the appropria-
tion of the surplus ito some needed
public use, whose benefits should be
enjoyed by the entire people, without
placing upon the commonwealth an
annual charge therefor"
1nheriting this real surplus" Of $3,-
807,747 from it's predecessor, and ex-
pending in four years s6,57O, ,5S1 In ex-
cess of its income, the Hastings ad-
ministration has exhausted the surplus
and left the state $2,762,S34 in the hole.
With money to burn" so to speak,
four years ago, the treasury now has,
If Its debts were paid, nearly $4,000, ,OOC
less than nothing.
This is Quayism flttingly illustrated
in figures.

There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced It incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires corstitu.
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly ON the

STATE REFORM.
Democrats No Eleventh Hour Con.
verts to the Doctrine - Pertinent
Extracts From Their State
Platforms.

The Democratic party Is no eleventh
hour convert to state reform. For
years 1t has been presenting the ugly
facts and urging amendment When
ever 1t has had opportunity it has 10y
ally redeemed its pledges, to the full
Limit of Its power. The following will
be interesting reading In this connec-
tion:
In 1874 the Democrats of the state in
their platform denounced the Republi-
cans for fostering corporations to the
detriment and injury of the great agri-
cultural interest: for having introduced
frauds and corruption into the depart
ments of the state government and
among the state officials generally, and
for having failed to dismiss them when
exposed and convicted. They demand
ed greater economy and the looping
off of every needless expense.
In 1882 the Democrats elected their
state ticket and secured a majority in
the house on a platform devoted to
state issues and condemning Republic
can theft and reckless expenditure.
In 1885 the party thus said: "The
long continued abuses and spoliations
Of the state treasury and the defiance
of laws by its management make es-
sential a radical reform so that large
sums shall not be accumulated by tax
alton of the people to be distributed
among the favored repositories of the
state"
The convention of 1887 denounced the
Republican legislature for its failure
to pass the state revenue bill, which
was urged by nearly all the people in
the commonwealth and which, by its
failure, made the people pay million
of dollars annually that should and
would have been paid by corporations. -
1t denounced, also, "the failure Of the
administration to attempt any correc-
ion of the wrong doing or exposure of
the fraud or criminal neglect, as con-
Tossing the supremacy of ring rule in
Pennsylvania"
The convention of 1890 again urged re-
form. condemned the Bardsley steal.
and, following the election of the
Democratic governor. Robert e. Pat =
tison. the monies stolen by the said
Bardsley and others were restored to
the state treasury.

Bunker Hill Men Capture Quebec. vi

Quebec, Oct. 6.-For the first time In
the history Of America the Stars and
Stripes, born by body of United States
soldiery, were unfurled in the citadel Of
Quebec.
1t was the occasion of the review Of
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company, of Boston, by the Governor
General of Canada. Following the
Boston men were many veterans of the
Civil War, several officers who partici-
pated in the late war with Spain and
many Of descendants of the veterans
of the wars of The Revolution and of
1872; and these men, representive tf
all the military periods Of the United
States, receiving the nearly cheers and
warm welcome of British people in one
of the strongholds of Queen Victoria's
domain was an interesting and i'm
pressive picture to all who beheld it.

TREELAND, PA, OCTOBER 10, 1898.


The following sensible words on the
subject of newspaper subscriptions
clipped from an exchange, should be
born in mind by those who are forever
finding fault because matters are not
conducted to please them:
Every man has right to take a
newspaper or stop it, for any reason or
no reason at all; but at the same time
there is certain responsibility attach
ing to all actions, even to so trivial q one
as stopping newspaper because the
editor says something he does not agree
with.
There is complaint that newspaper
editors lack fearlesSness and honesty;
that newspapers are too generally mere
partisan organs which disregard the
claims of truth and justice when politi-
cal interests are Mt stake.
There is too much truth in the
charge, but let us ask how it is possible
for fearless, honest, outspoken journal
to live ii every man is to cry, Stop my
papern whenever he reads something
which does not accord with his views?
THE men who insist that the news
paper they read shall never say any
thing contrary to their views are the
ones who are, in a large measure, re
Sponsible for the craven cowardlness
and the weathercock propensities OF
modern journalism. In community
composed entirely of these Stop my
paper people, true independent journal
ism would be an impossibilty.
when you are convinced that a
newspaper is dishonest and deceitful,
stop it. When convinced that it is
unclean, stop it, When it lacks enter
prise and fails to give you the news
stop it. When some other newspaper
gives you more of value, stop it.
Bet do not stop newspaper yol
believe to be honest, courageous, enter
prising and clean, simply because tn,
editor has written his own sincere view.
instead OF yours or somebody else's, fol
II you do you are putting premium
upon insncere journalism and serving
notice on the editor that the way tC
succeed is to write what he thinks will
best please his readers, instead of wha
he honestly believes to be the truth"

Washington, Oct. 4.-There is good
reason to believe that within the week
there will be a large number Of volun-
teer regiments designated for muster
out, in addition to those already des-
ignated for release from service. One
military authority says that 1t is not
unlikely that the 100000 soldiers in.
tended to be retained will be reduced
to about 10000 men. These, with the
regulars, would still leave an army OF
about 10000 men, which is considered
to be ample for nome and foreign SER
vice.

Luzerne's Vacant Judgeship.

The appointment of a successor to the
late Judge Bennett is anxiously awaited
by the people OF the county. That the
selection will be made from among the
Republican attorneys is a foregone con-
clusion. The governor being Republi-
can, and the deceased Judge having
been member of the same faith, leaves
no room for doubt on that point. Never
thcless, the appointment concerns the
whole people, irrespective of party, and
1t is hoped that the governors choice
will be one that will commend itself as
strongly to one citizen as to another, to
the Republican as well as the Demo
crat, to the Prohibitionist as well as the
Populist.
Among the numerous names mention
ed for this high and important position
thore are some which tho local pride of
various localities is responsible for, the
object being to give this or that man
and his locality some inexpensive adver-
tising. There are others whom it would
not be well to place upon the bench
for their own good, and, what is more
important, for the county's good.
Sitting the above classes from the lot
leaves but very few names which the
governor ought to consider. One OF
these is G. L. Halsey, ESQ.,, of White
Haven, one of the few attorneys of
Luzerne county who commands the re-
spect of all classes and OF all parties.
III Republican must be appointed,
Governor Hastings can win the graft
tnde of every man who wishes to keep
the Luzerne bench free from pettifogism
by naming Mr.. Halsey as the successor
to Judge Bennett. His ability, eminence,
education and integrity fit him for the
position, and If these qualities count for
anything he is the logical appointed

DISGUSTED FISHERMEN.
II Made the SpOrtsmen Ill to Watch
an Old Timer Catch Trout.


an Old Timer Catch Trout.
One day this week Boston party, on
fishing trip to Moosehead, came
across one of the old-school fishermen.
He was up off the mouth of Tomhegan
stream and was fishing out of a lum-
berman's batteau. 1t developed later
that he was the cook for a crew OF
river drivers. On the bank near at
hand stood the cookee, or his helper.
The cook had thrown about peck OF
table refuse into the lake in order to
"tole" the fish, and over that lure he
was having great luck. His pole was
of the jib-boom variety. and when a
fish bit he would derrick it over his
head into the bushes where the cookee
was stationed.
The Boston men from their canoes
watched operations with all the dis
gust of the true sportsmen.
Got enough for supper YETI" shout
he sent another great trout fiamping
into the bushes.
"No; better catch six or eight
MORE" shrilled back the cookee.
Say, how many fish do you two fel
lows usually eat for supper?" shouted
Boston man, who didn't understand
the situation.
when you've cooked for twenty
two river-drivers as long as I have,'
yelled the cook, derricking another
fish, you'll know more about empty
nail kegs"
Hardly was this enigmatic utterance
out when there came a tug at his line
that was nothing short of tremen.
dous. He twitched. The fish didn't
come. He braced; set his jaws and
pried. His line only sawed the kissing
water.
PLAY him! Play him!" screamed
the excited sportsmen from the city.
"Play your grandmother" beloved
back the cook. II amt here to play.
I'm here to fish," And as he spoke he
boosted over his head fifteen-pound
laker. Any man III the Boston crowd
would have given $40 to have played
