ment of the issues of the day:
WASHINGTON, D. G. May 25.
DEAR BROTHER SPENCER:
Thanks for your favor. Our
party certainly never has occu-
pied, and never will, any
doubtful position on the ques-
tion of trusts, corporate mo-
nopolies, etc. 1t has always
been against them. Cleveland S
administration is the only blot
on our banner of principles. He
meekly bowed the knee to the
most dangerous of all trusts
and combines-the money trust
of the owners OF accumulated
wealth, the Rotbschilds, Nor
gans, Belmonts, etc.
If they can force 4 single
standard OF gold, the money
trust IN the end will dominate
and control all others, regulate
the amount of money in CircuRa-
ton, the prices of the products
Of labor, the prices of manufac-
tured products, and finally, the
rights and liberties of the PEG.
pie. 1 believe the people will
yet see their peril and by legis-
lation, public sentiment, etc,
restrict, restrain, limit. if not
entirely destroy, trusts and cor
porate monopolies. Unless the
volume of money of final pay
ment be increased, in the end a
panic is inevitable, when the in.
tlated enterprise projected by
these gigantic trusts shall
shrink and fall.
President Mckinley is a pref
ty fair fOater, moving here and
there, and always watching the
expression Of opinion among
people, seeking denomination.
He is evidently in an eddy on
the Philippine question, The
war there, bought from Spain
for 800, 100000, is a disgrace to
our race and nation. l believe
the people will yet so regard
it,, ALL we'll and join me-. in
many best wishes, Your friend

Hearing Expert Testimony.

The defense to be offered by the
Scranton Railway company in the DR..
Porteus case was foreshadowed yes
terday in the cross-examination OF the
plaintiffs witnesses, particularly the
physicians who were called as experts
to show the nature of the Doctors in
juries.
DR.. Porteus himself, DIR. William
Haggerty and DIR. r. II. Gibbons were
put on the stand to show that the
plaintiff is affected with locomotor at
aXia and that it was evidently caused
by the injuries received in the accident
for which the company is claimed to
be responsible. DR.. Porteus and DR..
Haggerty were quite fixed in the opin-
ion that the contention of the plaintiff
is correct, but DR.. Gibbons practically
held the exact opposite to be the case.
He would not admit that the symp-
toms of locomotor ataXia were appar-
ent i'll DR.. POrteus in a marked char
acter and held that even if they were
he would refuse to believe that they
were the result of violence such as
would come of an accident similar to
the one with which DR.. Porteus met.
Some of the authorities hold that 90
per cent. of the cases of locomotor
ataXia are due to venerial disorders,
the doctor said, and others contend
that locomotor ataXia can come from
no cause other than these disorders.
The witness believed with the latter
and said II he found on a patient the
unquestioned symptoms of locomotor
ataXia he would have to pronounce
that man subject to the disorders
named.
When DIR. Porteus was on the stand
Major Warren and Mr.. O'Malley tried
to show that it was very simple for a
person to simulate the symptoms of
lCcomotor ataXia, as for instance to
feign inability to stand in the dark
or with the eyes shut, to reel when the
eyes arc looking upward, and invol-
unfairly to have the knees cave in or
the feet move sideways instead of for
ward when walking.
1t was also brought out on cross,
examination that DR. Porteus drew
eighteen weeks benefits from the Order
Of Tonti for injuries received by being
thrown out Of his carriage in 1893.
DR.. Watson was examined as to tho
condition of DR.. Porteus Immediately
after the accident. Daniel Donovan
and Name Brown. passengers on the
car, Louis Horton. Mrs. a. w. ST.
| mons, Of Dunmore, and Mrs. Marion
| Green who were onlookers, were the
| other witnesses examined. All agreed
that the car was moving rapidly and
that no alarm was given until just a
moment before the crash. The de-
fendant's attorneys aimed to bring out
the fact that DR.. POrteus should have
| seen the car approaching had he eXer-
cised due precautinn before driving up
on the track. 1t was shown that there
was nothing to interrupt the view
from the bridge for a long distance in
| the direction in which the car ap-
preached.

BOROUGH COUNCIL MET.
Fathers of Archibald Considered
Plan Of Ending Trouble With
Scranton Traction Company.

A special session of the borough
council, of Archibald, was held last
evening for the purpose of settling
the differences between the borough
and the Carbondale Traction company.
Attorney r. ]. Bourke, Superinten-
dent Flynn and all the councilmen
except Mr. Munley We're present. Mr..
Bourke told of an interview he and
Mr.. Burns had with General Manager
Silliman in which the latter was will
ing to meet the borough half way. Mr..
Bourke suggested that the council
frame demands to be Incorporated In
an ordinance which he would submit
to the Traction company.
After adjournment the council dis
cussed at length and without passing
the sections of an ordinance Mr..
Bourke had prepared. The chief
changes were as follows: That the
company maintain a twenty-four foot
driveway on one side of the track
where the track is laid on the side OF
the road; that planks be laid inside
and outside the rails and cobble-stone
filling be placed at street crossings;
that the track be laid at grade; that
sluice-ways be placed at different
points within the borough limits; that
fences be maintained beside the track
on the northern end of the borough;
that the track be moved near the river
when the abutments at place b are
removed; that one fare be charged
within the borough limits.
These will be embodied in an ordln-
ance to be presented to Manager Silt-
man this morning. In the meantime
work may be continued on the mar
rowing of the line.

PATIENCE, THY NAME Is WOMAN.

The patience of women is
proverbial, and it argues a
patience almost more than
human which enables them to
endure so much pain and suffer
ing, which the joyful experience
of their happier sisters ought
surely to induce them to escape
from.
"I suffered from female
sickness for fifteen years.
writes Mrs. A. c. Scott, lie
Roy, Colo, suffered untold
agonies---doctors could not give
me any relief. A lady friend
told me to get Warmers Safe
Cure. l got a bottle and it
helped me right away. / have
taken six bottles and my health
is better than it has been tor
twenty years"
And Mrs. L. B. Smith, of
Barston Spa, N. Y, after re.
counting how she was almost
providentially led to the use of
Warmers Safe Cure, thus
recounts the happy results:
"My nervousness is all gone,
I am able to do lots of work
and am cheerful, for I can now
say what could not at one
time, that is, that everything
looks bright and life is worth
the living"
Use Warmers Safe Cure. 1t
