A Small Fire.

An alarm of fire Tuesday morn
ing proved to be a small blaze
in,the house of Col. A. E. Lewis
on upper Hartford street. A
book case had been stood in front of
an open fire place the fiue of which
connected with another in use The
sparks had evidently fallen down
and ignited some paper which com.
municated with the wood of the
case. A number of books were
damaged and had the fire occurred
during the night time it might have
been very serious.

MUTCHLER'S SURPRISE.

II G. Loudenslager, Representa-
tive in Congress from New Jersey,
who is in charge of the Eastern
headquarters of the Republican Con
gressional Committee, being asked
relative TO the Congressional strug-
gle between ex-Congressman Mutch-
ler, Democrat and Russell c. Stew
lrt, the Republican nominee, stated
that the committee is very much
encouraged over the reports from
that district which they have gotten
from many sources they all indi-
cate that Mr. Mutchler will be de.
feated.
Mr.. Loudenslager remarked that
he was astonished when the papers
announced that Mr.. Mutchler was
surprised" when he received the
Democratic nomination, and said
that it would seem to him impossi-
BILE that any Democratsint the district
who were acquainted with the can
didacy of DR.. Shull, of Monroe coun-
ty, and Mr.. Barber, of Carbon coun-
ty, for this nomintion, would besat
isfied with Mr.. Mutchler's declara
ton of surprise" Mr.. Louden-
slayer said that at the Republican
National Convention held in June
last, he met Mr.. Mutchler in Phila-
delphia and that Mr.. Mutchler then
informed him that he would be a
member of the next Congress.
When Mr.. Loudenslager informed
him that he thought Mr.. Barber was
to be renominated or that it would
go to one of the other counties, Mr.
Mutchler stated to him that ne would
secure the nomination.
This conversation took place while
MI. Barber and DR.. Shull we're each
working like beavers to secure their
conferees and while Mr. Mutchler
was declaring to them that he did
not want and could not take it.
In view of the performance of Mr.
Mutchler's conferees ana of the Pike
county conferees at the conference
in Easton it is no wonder that the
friends of DIR. Shull and Mr.. Barber
fool flat tI,o ,,o,,,inafiO,, ,,,oe et,1o,,
by Mr.. Mutchler.
Not only is Mr.. Mutchler CRITICS
ed by leading Democrats IN the four
counties for his unfair treatment of
the candidates who were working
in an open and manly way for the
nomination, but they all admit that
he is not fit for the position. Those
who are opposed to him are there
fore working actively for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Stewart, who is known to
be a conservative, hard. working
lawyer, and who is thoroughly able
to represent all the interests of
that district.
The question of patronage does
not interest either the friends of DR.
Shull in Monroe county or the
friends of Mr.. Barber in Carbon
county, because they know that
Howard Mutchler, even though lie
would promise anything before elec.
ton, would give all his pa patronagg tC
those who have heretofore worked
so hard to build up his influence in
Carbon and Monroe counties. -Phila

The picture was not taken on a
porch and does not overshadow that
of any other man, but, the man him
self does overshadow his opponent in
all that would go to make fitting
representative for this vast district.
His platform is clearly defined, his
abilities are apparent, his sincerity is
frank, his integrity ofpurpose unques-
toned and his zeal unfagging. Send
him to Congress and you will be
proud of the day.

THE TRUSTS.

Nearly every Democratic newspa-
per from the New York Journal bar
ker down through all its yelping ec-
hoers are dishguring their pages with
cuts Of gross giant, in varying pos
lures labelled "The Trusts"
The rulings of the Supreme Court
have shown that as the Constitution
now stands Congress only can regu-
late trusts engaged in interstate com
merce. 70 this end the following
amendment was introduced in the
House Of Representatives and press
TO vote June 1. 1900
Section 1. All powers conferred by
this article shall extend to the several
states, the territories, the District ot
Columbia, and all territory under the
sovereignty and subject to the iuris
diction Of the United States.
Section ,. "Congress shall have
power to define, regulate, control
prohibit, or dissolve trusts, monop-
olies or combinations, whether exist
ing in the form Of a combination OF
otherwise. The several states may
continue to exercise such power ii
any manner not in conflict with the
laws of the United States"
Section 3. Congress shall have
power to enforce the provisions Of
this article by appropriate legislation.
The clause saving all rights ofstat
es was inserted in the hope of getting
States Rights Democrats to support
the amendment. Nevertheless the
vote stood l4S Republicans for and
1870 Democrats against, and the meas
ure failed of the necessary two-thirdi
majority.
Loudly as the Democrats talked
when it came to vote they echoed
Bryan's declaration at the Chicag,
conference: ave have not met here
to destroy the trusts"
Our Representative, Mr.. Barber
voted with his party against TN
amendment. The above is history
who then supports and countenauce
trusts? and why should not thos
papers label their pet production
our trusts?

The "Heraldsu Poll.

Last Sunday the Herald gave the
result of a very careful poll of the
country made by it. The canvass
was made simply for the purpose of
ascertaining the situation and was
without bias. it is therefore valuable
as showing resul5 fairly obtained ;
1t gives Mckinley PSI and Bryan
166 electoral votes. In 1896 the vote
was 271 and 176. Total 447 to elect

His Chances Improve.

As the days go by there appears
good ground for the belief that
Stewart will be elected The inde-
pendent voters, those who on a pre-
vious occasion aided to elect a Re-
publican Congressman, are again in
evidence against bossism, trading
and commercial methods in making
nominations. The growth of senti-
ment in favor of Stewart has been
steady and general and the disaffec-
ton against Mutchlerism surprises
and unCerhandedness is wide spread
and sincere. The honest Democrat
feels that he is not bound by any
party ethics to support nominations
made in such manner. He is not
discarding his democracy he is only
rebuking men who have no political
honor and whosought his vote simp-
ly as stock in trade with which to
barter for their own gain. The deal
has been made the Doodle pooketed
or the promises secured and the vote
is now being besought by earnest
appeals to stand by the party, no
matter who the nominee or the
methods employed. The henchmen
have the pill in their fingers and
they are making frantic efforts tc
force it down the throats of honest
and manly voters but they will not
succeed.

An Opportunity for the Independent
Voter


The candidacy of Russell G. Stew
art for Congress in this district
should appeal with especial force to
the man who prides himself on his
political independence and who new
er tires of asserting that his ballot
is always cast for the nominee who
is best fitted for the position for
which he aspires.
Mr.. Stewart is politically clean,
able, honest and eloquent and tow
ers head and shoulders above his
opponent in this contest in all that
goss to make we'll equipped Con-
gresham. He is no mans man.
He has well settled convictions and
beliefs. Political manipulations,
wire pullings and tho low tricks and
devices used to secure unworthy
ends would enlist his opposition in
stead of his sympathy.
AS the Representative of this dis
trict in Congress his aim would be
to further in every honorable way
the interests of his constituents, and
that he would accomplish this aim
there can be no question in the
minds of those who are most init
mately acquainted with the man and
who are aware of his industry, dog
ged perseverance and ability in car
rying out plans and policies that he
has outlined.
In a word, the people of the Eigh-
tn Congressional District are to be
congratulated upon the fact that
they have an opportunity to vote
for a man like Russell G. Stewart
Bethlehem Times.

COM MITTED SUICIDE.
An Insane Patient at the Asylum
Hangs Himself

Last Friday evening, between the
hours of five and six o'clock, Otto
Westpbal, an inmate of the Marathon
County Insane Asylum, hung himself
in his room during the time the patients
and attendants were at supper. West
phal has always had disposition to
kill himself and therefore had to be
watched closely. He was not allowed
to go outside without someone to watch
him, Notwithstanding he managed to
jump into the river one day the past
summer and was with difficulty saved
from a watery grave. Mr.. Head has
had to place him in union suits for fear
that he would strangle himself with his
suspenders; he was not allowed to go
into the dining-room to eat his meals
for fear that he would use a knife or
anything with which he could make
way with himself On Friday evening
the attendant, of his ward, as usual,
went to the dining-room with patients
and when through he prepared West
phaPs meal and took it up to him, and
when he opened the door to the patients
room he was Mortified to find him hang
ing from a window bar, dead. He had
torn up a colored percale shirt, made
rope of same and tying it to an iron bar
which had been placed across the win
dow, the rope being long enough to
allow his feet to touch the floor, he
leaned forward and strangled himself.
Everything was done to bring him to
but of no avail Coroner Dickens was
called who empanelled a jury of six.
After due deliberation the jury found
that Westphal came to his death by sui
eide produced by strangulation by a
cloth tied around his neck and fastened
to bar across the window
Otto Westphal was twenty eight years
old and came from Pike Lake, this
county. He was placed in the Mara
thon county asylum, as an incurable,
nearly year ago. The remains were
taken from the hospital today by rela-
tives aud taken to Pike Lake for burial.
