heads OF jury by oratorical pyro-
technics. He has never depended
upon his wits to help him through
with trial in Court. His success
has been the result of hard study,
careful preparation and industrious
application. His arguments are plain
and logical, and based on law
and common sense, rather than
rhetorical periods. He is pos
sessed of a we'll balanced tempera-
ment, sound Judgment self-control,
is neither impetuous nor quick tenn
pered, all of which are character
istics that enter into the makeup of a
safe Judge.
Some Republican newspapers have
been giving this district some advice
about a non-partisan Judiciary,
and on this ground are urging the
election of Mr. Scarlet, the Republi-
can nominee. We fully agree with
the proposition that when a man is
elected to the Bench he ought not 10
be partisan he should keep him.
self entirely free from the entangle-
ments of politics and should admins
ter even-handed justice to all alike.
But we cannot agree that non-par-
tisan judiciary calls for the election
of Republican Judge in a strong
Democratic district. In Philadelphia,
where the papers have the most to
say about a non-partisan judiciary,
there are fifteen Judges. A fair dis
tribution, according to the vote of the
two parties, would give the Democrats
at least FIVE of these, instead of two.
There is one Democrat out of seven
Judges on the Supreme Bench of this
State, and that by the operation of
the Constitution, and not by the
grace of the Republican party. In
the Superior Court of seven Judges
J there is also one Democrat, and the
Republicans will turn him out this
Fall, If they have their way about it.
That's the sincerity there is in this
talk about "non-partisan" judiciary.
This is Democratic district.
Robert R. Little is a Democrat, al.
ways has been, and is the regular
Democratic nominee, duly nominated
by the regular and proper tribunal
He is honest and capable, and is en-
.itled to the support of every Demo
crat.

KILLED BY A FALL.
Mahion Dieterich Loses His Life by Falling
From the Hay Now Of HartzelI's Barn.

The almost lifeless body of NAH
lon Dieterick was found on Friday
morning of last week lying at the
bottom of the ladder leading to the
hay NOW in the City Hotel barn.
A physician was hastily summoned,
but he was beyond medical aid, and
died in few minutes thereafter.
He had gone to the barn to sleep,
and it is supposed he fell through
to the floor while in a bewildered
condition.
He was aged about thirty-6ve
years and worked at the butchering
business. He has been living in
town for upwards of eight years,
but so far as known he had no rela-
tives here, but has sister residing
at Norristown.
Squire Jacoby was notified, but
ON learning the facts, decided that
an inquest was not necessary.
The remains were taken to Ham.
burg on Saturday for interment.

Robert R. Little, Esq.,, the Demo
cratic nominee for President Judge
of the 26th Judicial district. is the
only son of Ephraim H. Little, Esq,
one of the oldest members of the
Columbia County Bar He was born
in Berwick on May 80, 1882, and is,
therefore, 46 years of age-just in
the prime of life. He graduated at
the Normal School, in he class Of
1871, and then spent year at the
University OF Rochester and Hamil-
ton College. He gave up his College
course, and after pursuing the pre-
scribed course Of study in the Office
of his father, he was admitted to the
Bar on September 4th, 1874. At
that time there was no standing COM
mittee to examine law students, and
the Court appointed committee at
each term of Court when there were
applicants for admission to the Bar.
Mr.. Little's committee consisted OF
NJ. E. Jackson, Robert F. Clark, and
Col. Samuel Knorr, all of them among
the leaders of the Bar at that time,
and now all dead. In searching ex-
animation, lasting several hours, Mr..
Little did not answer single question
incorrectly, and was complimented
by the examiners upon the excellence
of his preparation. He Immediately
formed partnership with his father,
under the firm name of E. H. & R.
R Little, and from that time to the
present has devoted his attention ex-
clusively to the practice of law. f.
II. Little retired from practice several
years ago, and Robert has continued
the business alone since that time.
In 1876 he was elected District At
torney, and reelected in 1870, dis
charging the duties of his Office faith
fully and to the satisfaction of the
Court and the public. He has en-
joyed the confidence and respect of
the people, and is now serving his
third term as Director of Bloom
School District. He is also trustee
of the Normal School and an officer
of the Baptist Church, and has been
the counsel of the First National
Bank for some years past.

During the term of court just end
ed Judge Grant Herring performed
the duties of his office with marked
ability. He dispatched business rap

comprehensive and to the point. He
will preside at next December term,
and on the first Monday in January
will return to the bar, where he is one
of the acknowledged leaders in the
district.

The Government Decides to Look Into
 the South Carolina Race Trouble.
 Washington, Nov. 1S.-The govern ment has decided to investigate the CIT cumstances under which James W. ToI- bert, assistant postmaster at Mccormick, s. O., was compelled by the threats of an armed mob to abandon his office and home. With that view the matter has been placed in the hands of United States Attorney Lathrop, with instrue- tions to look into the matter with a view to the prosecution of m violations of the Federal statutes in this or any other cases growing out of the recent race riots in that locality. Ks prelim- mary step Tolbert sent telegram to Governor Ellerbee at Columbia, asking to know wh' ,her, as governor ot South Carolina he can or will afford him pro- lection in returning to his family and office, and this reply was received:
 'If you return home will give you all the protection i'll my power. l do not think 1t prudent for you to return until the excitement subsidies.

It Is undoubtedly q fact that our

robust sons ana daughters, aHu Qld uOk become weak, complaining invalids as Q consequence.
 There are probably several reasons for this. One is, that they lived more i'll the open air, and another, and probably the most influential of all is that they were less prudish than the women of to-day, They were not ashamed to know something of their own physical makeup. They were not too nice to take care of their health in q womanly way. Women nowadays suf- fer untold tertures iii silence, because of weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism, rather than consult physician or even talk upon the subject to their own husbands. They imagine that troubles of this description can only be cured by undergoing the disgusting exam nations and local treatment insisted upon by the average modern physician. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures all dis. eases peculiar to women i'll tue privacy of their own homes. It does away with the necessity for examinations and local treat ment It acts directly on the important organs concerned, making them strong, healthy and vigorous. It fits for wifehood and the burdens of household duties. It allays inflammation, heals alteration and soothes pain. It tones and builds up the nerves 1t banishes the discomforts of the time of expectancy and makes baby's ad- vent easy and almost painless Thousands have testified to it's merits.
