Three Important Announcements,
Through America in Pictures

An important pictorial feature will
shortly begin in the Ladies Home
Journal in a series to be called
Through Picturesque America: In
100 Pictures" Through the medium
of the most superb new photographs,
taken expressly for this feature, the
series will start where American land
begins on the Maine coast, take in the
greatest points of magniicence and
marvellous scenic wonders in every
part Of America, embrace Alaska,
Cuba, Porto Rico. and end where
American possessions stop-at the
farthest point in the Philippine Islands.
Bright, popular explanatory text to
accompany the pictures will be sup
piled by Luther l.. Holden, of Boston,
who has crossed the American Con-
tinent over one hundred times and
knows every step of the way. The
series will run through the magazine
for year.

An Honest Confession From a Republican
Source.

The Democrats have this year,
beyond all dispute, the honester po-
sition as to State issues, which
should be really the only ones at
stake.
Wholly aside from the results Of
the voting on the 9TH of November,
however, the Democrats are entitled
to full credit for assuming the posi-
ton of a vigorously aggressive
minority party, opposed to the no
torious maladmlnistration Of state
government and the abuses of the
Republican machine, spectacular
instance of which was exhibited no
later than last week in the expos
ures which compelled the withdraw
al Of the first choice candidate for
Judge of one of the highest State
Courts. The Democrats have the
best of the argument in exposing
corruption at Harrisburg. They
cannot be answered OIL that score.
To what extent they will succeed
in arousing public indignation to
the voting point, only the ballots
two weeks hence can tell.-PfHS

Get Out the Vote.

There is no doubt of the election
of the Democratic county ticket,
but it is desirable that every Dem
ocratic voter should go to the polls
OH election day and cast his ballot
for the Democratic ticket.
The people are promised honest
election in Philadelphia and Allie
gheny county this year, and if the
promise is kept the Democrats will
carry the state. The Democrats OF
Columbia county will want to share
in the glory of victory gaiued
over Quay, and they can do so by
rolling up a majority that will place
their county in the foremost ranks
of the Democratic counties Of the
State.
Let every Democrat make up his
mind to vote for every man on the
state and county ticket on Nov. 7,
and the result will be all that can
be desired.

Fee Grabbers to be Brought to Justice.

In charging the Luzerne County
Grand Jury on Monday, Judge Wood
ward criticised in very severe terms
the Justice of Peace and Constables
who rob the county treasury. He
said the Courts are being overwhelmed
with petty criminal cases which seem
to be brought solely with the object
of making costs for Constables and
Magistrates.
He referred to the last term in
which 500 transcripts of indictments
were sent in and only one hundred
true bills were found in which cases
were made out or prosecutors justified
and of these 100 indictments many
prosecutors did not appear and addi-
tional costs were piled up to be paid
by the county. The Judge said he
heard of cases which were settled by
the Justice and later returned TO court
by the same Justice in the hope OF
securing additional costs. He advised
the Grand Jury to take action and
bring the offenders to justice if posi-
BILE. Magistrates and Constables, he
declared, are stealing the public mon
ey under the gulse of public prosecu
ton, and that the county detective
should be Instructed to follow up and
prosecute such cases.
The Judge closed saying that two
thirds of the criminal prosecutions
are absurd and ridiculous and are
only brought to make costs. He
hoped that the Grand Jury would
make strong deliverance on the sub
iect.

Our Population Is 75,000,000.
Fifty Thousand Enumera.ors Must Gather the
Census in a month.

In June of next year the people OF
the United States will be counted for
the twelfth time since the establish
ment Of our government. alt will re-
quire about fifty thousand enumera-
tors" writes Clifford Howard in the
November Ladies' Home ./OHrnaI "to
take the census, and their work must
be finished in one months time, or by
the first week of July, 1900. That
means that about seventy-five million
people must be recorded in thirty
days, or at the rate of two and half
million a day. The rate will be even
greater than this, however, for in
towns and cities of eight thousand in
habitanls the enumeration must be
done by them in person, except In
such sections of the country as cor
tain a great many foreigners, where
the employment of interpreters will be
allowed, as otherwise it would be next
to impossible to secure the necessary
data. The enumerators will be PAID
tor their services in accordance with
the amount of work they are called
upon TO do"

Statistics have been prepared i'll the
State of Wisconsin to show that the
average cost Of growing a bushel OF
wheat In that State is only twenty
four cents, while that of raising a
bushel of corn is 27 cents. Both
prices include interest on the
value of land, with the cost Of i'm
plements and horses. These figures
seem little surprising, and show
what the farmers of the east have
to contend with.
