NEWS NOTES.

The Navy Department has recent
ly placed orders FOR forgings for
naval rifles of calibre from to IL
inch to supply the new battleships
and in short time the navy yard
factory will begin to turn out ord
nance embodying radical changes in
gun construction, and much more
powerful than guns of the same cal
ibre now afloat on our ships. The
new 12-inch guns will be as effec.
tive as the present 13-inch gun in
range and striking force. This is
achieved at the expense of weight,
but the diffe renee is still in favor OF
the new design. The new gun will
send it's projectile at the enormous
velocity of 5000 feet per second
which is about 80 per cent. greater
than the velocity of the present 13.
inch shell.

promptly went for the one who had
before sported that kind of an ap-
pendage, but he, recalling a sudden
tenderness at the spot, by reason of
its having been ruthlessly twisted
off two years ago by a provident
friend who feared it's too reckless
swishing might jeopardize the com
fort of the orphans of this county,
suddenly bumped himself and they
missed him by several yards. The
next j., though heartsore and anx-
ious for the fly protector, thought
inasmuch as the summer was nearly
ended, he could manage to exist a
little longer without the extra
adornment, and quickly amputated
himself from the opportunity. The
third and last J. surnamed by the
Gazette Lousi of Tansford was
the only thing in sight, willing &c
be tailed, and so the boys put it OH
him. How long he will wear the
pesky thing, or what he will dc
with it, remains to be seen. There
is a certain barber down that way
who may shave it up and leave
nothing but an unsightly and atten-
uated elongation of vertehra by the
ides of November. However, the
youths have had their sport, and
practice may make perfect.

COLONEL sroNE,s PLArFoaM

1t will be my purpose when elect
ed to so conduct myself as to win
the respect and good will of those
who have opposed me as well as
those who have given me their sup
port. I shall be governor of the
whole people of the state. Abuses
have undoubtedly grown up in the
Legislature which are neither the
fault of one party nor the other, but
rather the growth of custom. Un-
necessary investigations have been
authorized by committees, resulting
in unnecessary expense to the State.
1t will be my care and purpose to
correct those and other evils in so
far as I have the power. 1t will be
my purpose while Governor of
Pennsylvania, as it has been my
purpose in the public positions that
1 have held, with Gods help, to
discharge my whole duty. The
people are greater than the parties
to which they belong. I am only
jealous of their favor. l shall only
attempt to win their approval and
my experience has taught me that
that can best be done by an honest,
modest, daily discharge of public
duty.

SOAP AS D1s1EFEorANr.

The use of soap containing a dis
infectant of some kind has become
so general that observations on the
practical value of such combinations
cannot fail to be of interest. DR..
Reithotfer has recently published the
results of some experiments carried
out by him with various kinds of
soap, having for object to deter
mine their value as microbidcs. He
used the ordinary notified soap,
white almond soap perfumed with
nitrobenzine, and hard potash soap.
He found that these soaps were
very inimical to the cholera mi
crobe, a one per cent. solution kill
ing them III a short space of time,
while five per cent. solution of
the potash soap killed them in five
minutes. We are, therefore, at
liberty to infer that, as in washing
the hands the soap solution is never
less than five, and may go as high
as As per cent, this method of Ills.
injecting the hands as well as the
clothes, etc., is fairly trustworthy
Much stronger solutions are re-
quired, however, to destroy the
bacilli of typhoid, the coli-bacillus
etc not less than ten per cent. be-
ing sufficient None of the soaps ex-
perimented with appeared to have
any effect on the pyogenic microbe.
The practical result of these investi.
cations is that it is always prefer.
able to use soap and water first Of
all, rinsing the hands in the disin.
fectant solution afterward. This i.
an important point which merits tC
be generally made known.-Medi

"AUDACIOUSNESS. +"

IN A late issue of the Gazette the
Milford correspondent remarks
as follows: 1.-THE Commissioner
sale of lands was held at the Court
House, Sept. 81. There were pur-
chased for the Commonwealth
BATS acres, which, with their pre-
vious purchase at the Treasurer
sale, will relieve an immense guam
tity of land from the production of
taxes and place an additional burdei
on the resident taxpayers, already
taxed beyond endurance. The effects
of the forestry Law" will be ruin
Gus on the wooded counties wher,
the State is buying up the lands.
and in some of the townships in
our county where so much of the
wild land has been and will con
tinue to be, bought by the State, it
is difficult to see how the little re-
naming lands, held by the resident
owner, can possibly bear the burden
of taxation that will be necessary tC
meet the ordinary expenses foI
county, school, road and poor pur.
poses. For Pike County it is q
vicious iaw." Now, 1. Sickles, il
the Forestry bill is "vicious law ;
will you kindly explain to those in
Pike who "need more of the ser
vices of Hon. F. A. Kessler and as
Democratic brethren insist on max
ing his nomination unanimous,
just where the necessity lies? YOU
say we "ought to know that he has
done all that could reasonably bt
expected of a member of the hope
less minority" Did he act with
the minority in the passage of the
bill? The Legislative Record re
cords, page $50, that he voted fol
the bill on its final passage. He is
therefore, according to "Piko, )
guilty of aiding in vicious legisia
ton. This is Democratic testimony
Do the Democrats desire more o.
such services, and dare you say so
Do you dare take the evidence of 1
lifelong Democrat, printed in {
Democratic paper, for the guidance
of Democrats, and still assert tina
Hon. F. A. Kessler deserves re-elec
ton at the hands of Pike Count!
Democrats? Mr.. Sickles, you open
ed the discussion, now be mani,
enough to give straightforward,
answer to this proposition. Tn
people are waiting for your explain
alton.

EDITORIAL.
THE TAILING GAME.

YOUNG people sometimes indulge
in an amusing game, which
consists in outlining ON muslin, or
paper, profile of a donkey, which
is pinned up against a wall !; then
each in turn is led to the center of
the room, blindfolded, given a small
piece of paper in which is a pin,
turned two or three times, and then
let loose with instructions to pin
the tail on the donkey where the
tail ought to be. Under the circum.
stances it is rarely placed on the
proper part of the animals anat-
omy. They had pretty much the
same kind of game down in Mauch
Chunk last week, and came about
as near locating the tail in its proper
place as the children usually do. II
happened this way: Three is. play
ing politics took a number of young
folks down to the city on the Lehigh
with switch back attachment, and
turned them loose in a room to at.

MAKE 1T AN OPEN FIGHT.

In the last Presidential campaign,
the Democratic party, seeing before
it complete defeat, on its tariff rec
ord, sought to avoid the inevitable
by giving the place of prominence
to the silver question. No device,
however, could save the party whose
elevation to the control of the gov
ernment had brought destruction to
American industries and suffering
to American homes no devices
could save the party which had sad
died on the country the infamous
Wilson German bill. The people
knew it for the same old Free Trade
party whose success at elections had
always been followed by disaster to
the American people; and it was
buried out of sight by the avalanche
of votes cast for Mckinley and Pro-
lection.
In view of the attempt of the
Democratic party, in 1896, to blind
the people to the fact that the ques-
ton of Protection or Free Trade
was at an issue between the parties,
it is interesting to note that Hon
L. K. Mckinney, the contestant in
the First Maine District for Speaker
Reeds seat in Congress, made the
Tariff the sole issue of his recent
campaign. If this is any indication
of the policy to be pursued by other
Democratic candidates for Congress,
in other States, the friends of pro-
lection have no need to worry. II
is always easier to fight in the open
and with the issue drawn squarely
between Protection and Free Trade,
or between Protection and that
elusive, chameleon-l "Tariff Re.
FORM" there is no doubt of the out
come. The country wants no more
Free Trade and no more "Tariff Re-
form" of the Cleveland Wilson.
