Doctors say consumption can't be
cured. But when they see it cured right
under their face and eyes by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, they admit
that there's something wrong about their
arguments and something wonderful
about the Discovery" 1t isn't miracu-
lous. It won't cure every case; but 1t
cures surprisingly large percentage Of
cases; even when the patient is pretty
far gone with bad cough, and bleed
ing from the lungs, and reduced almost
to a shadow. Consumption Is blood
disease. The lungs want fresh supply
of pure, rich blood and plenty Of it; that
is what the Golden Medical Discovery"
gives them. It is a blOOd-maker.. 1t

A Futile Threat.

Mr.. Wanamaker's threat to continue
the fight reads like q brave statement
and doubtless is true so far as he per-
sonally is concerned. He is reported
to have said on numerous occasions,
both publicly and privately, that he
would never let UP on Quay" Out of
his million dollar annual income to
spend one hundred or two hundred
thousand dollars in the employment
of tools like Van Valkenburg to work
on the politically discontented and
stir up mischief would be in the nature
of a diversion for the merchant prince.
But il is one thing to SOW and an
otner to reap. The sentiment of pop
ular dissatisfaction with Objectionable
methods within the Republican party
Is widespread and profound: and IL
the new state administration shall be
as polite as we know 1t will be honest
in intent it will assert it's influence ag-
gressively for economy, fair dealing
and reform. But this sentiment has no
use for men who try to harness it to
the qualification of their personal
spites. 1t distinguishes with accuracy
between the true and the false. 1t
has sized John Wanamaker up as
shoddy and it will never listen to him
again.

TRUE INDEPENDENCE.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The full significance Of the event that
has occurred in the politics of New York
state will appear slowly to the public
comprehension. This is not an ordinary
victory of partsanship over partisanship.
The new governor of the Empire state
has been elected on his merits as a man.,
and not because he was the dummy rep
resentative of any personally driven ma
chine. Theodore Roosevelt carries with
him into the executive office the character
which he has borne ever since his fellow
citizens began to know him, and that is a
character of absolute independence. abso-
Lutte fearlessness, and honesty as bright
as the sunshine. He has been elected as
governor; he will be the governor; and
unless there is some magic which can
work an entire transformation in :he
moral and intellectual texture of "a per-
fectly matured personality, he will make
a governor for the people of this state to
be proud of. Now. this is an independent
movement in politics, and an independent
movement of the only sort that can pos.
sibly prevail namely, by and through

The Result in LaclSawanna County.

Now that the complete returns of

intelligent people to view the result

head of the Republican ticket and
against the reelection of an honest
Judge who could not be prostituted to
malicious factional purposes, the tri-
umph of fairness and honor becomes
luminously significant.
In the campaign just closed anar-
chism and personal venom had full
swing and by their very eXcesses they
broke down at the crisis. The annals
of politics contain no record of a
greater virulence Of personal attack
and foul innuendo than was rampant
among the elements in opposition to
the recent Republican ticket. To the
credit Of the regular daily newspaper

NOT HAPPY.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Senator Hoar is not happy in his argu-
ments against the retention of any part
of the Philippines. He expresses the be-
lief that the American people should
preserve, unstained and unchanged, the
Republic as it came TO us from the Fa-
thers." But that has never been the
policy of the country. The Republic of
the Fathers did not include Louisiana,
Florida, Texas, California and the vast
territory included with it, the Gadsden
purchase, Alaska and Hawaii. Altogether
2.779. $40 square miles have been added by
succeeding generations to 1.-The Republic
of the Fathers" The original area of the
United States was S27,S44 square miles. The
area today, excluding territory acquired
in the war with Spain, is 362O,5 square
miles. In other words, by the action of
our government at seven different periods,
the area of 1.-The Republic of the Fathers
has been quadrupled. 1t is II little alb
surd to talk now of preserving "un-
changed the Republic as it came to us
from the Fathers" No one proposes TO
change 1t excepting to continue its eX-
panson in way that will advance its
interests just as they were advanced ly

Some Views as to
The Peoples Vote

John WanamakeI: "rhe machine has
been building for forty years; we have
been fighting it for forty weeks, and a
whole or partial victory this time will not
stop the battle for good government until
every Office that is hotbed of corrup-
ton is captured by the people Before
this war ends other citadels of power be-
sides those of United States senator and
governor must be captured. We have
not in this contest attacked some of the
most important strongholds for fear of
diffusing our strength. The Offices OF
state treasurer, auditor general and sec
retary OF internal affairs are not less i'm
portant to the taxpayers than that of
governor. These are the offices our cor
porations covct most, and if there is ever
an equitable adjustment of taxation, fair
dispensation of legislative privileges and
retrenchment of expenditures. they must
be wrested from machine control. 1t may

The Next Congress.

1t is not to be believed that the
closeness of the party alignment in
the Ffty-siXth congress, possibly
foreshadowinG the election of a DEM
Ocratic speaker, indicates popular dis
satisfaction with the broad policies
of the Mckinley administration, al
though to uninformed foreign critics
such might seem to be the proper in
ference We in America know that
opposition congresses are the natural
result of a change in the political con-
troll of federal patronage; that the dis
tribution of postmasterships makes in
variably ten vengeful enemies for one
political friend; and that sharper than
a serpents tooth is the bite Of a dis
appointed candidate for official spoils.
1t was hoped that the special condi-
tions of great national and interna-
tional significance existing at this
time would for once keep the people
true to their better judgment. There
cannot have been serious doubt among
the great intelligent mass of people
of the fact that a Democratic major
ity in the next congress would be a
public misfortune. We say this with
out meaning any disrespect for the
patriotism and the personal worth of
individual members Of that party; we
say it because the simple fact is that
the Democratic party has at this mo-
mcnt no adequate broadgauged lead
ers in congress; because it is in an
t,,on cta to
attitude and convictions respecting the
great issues newly developed by the
war; because to put solemn and high
responsibility affecting the whole flu
ture of the republic in hands like those
which will WELD its caucus whip, that
do not know from day to day their
own purposes or intent, Is 10 make in
effect a jest of deliberative govern
ment. The people must have known
and felt the truth of what we say. The
intelligent people certainly did. But
the figures show that while some of
them languidly voted for Republican
congressman they made no determined
vigorous fight to sustain the president
and his administration; they sat still
OF went OH on SNdllOW OF Ndndlldhel
tangents while the soreheads and dis
gruntled office seekers, the "rirgsters
roosters and rufllans." to use the late
Commodore Singerly's words, were
working like Turks for private re-
venge. utterly indifferent to nationa
interests or needs.
If 1t shall finally show that Dem
ocratic congress has been elected We
must hope that it will turn out to b'
better than it's leaders, better than it'
party creed and better than it's party
past At the same time the fact that a
this critical period the good sense o
the people should weaken and homes

The election of Congressman Conneil TO
succeed himself as the representative IN
congress of this district, is an emphatic
tribute to his personal worth and popu-
larity, Notwithstanding the fact that lie
wins by a considerably reduced majority
as compared with the magnificent vote he
received two years ago. Political tradl-
ton is more generous to Republican candl-
dates for congress in this district in presi-
Dental years than at any other time. The
victorious candidate likes to contemplate
the figures in q presidential year, but in
"off years" 1t is quite enough to be
elected.
