At New Moon

Against the deepening azure in the West,
Non slender moon now dips her graceful horn
In ambient beauty lovely the morn;
And just above, a single star at rest
Upon the evenings calm and peaceful breast
Adds its faint, steadfast splendor TO adorn
The ehon mantle by the evening worn,
Some far world in point OF light exprest.
Now from your store OF wishes, maiden, take
The one which lies the nearest TO your heart,
And, gazing on the starhung crescent, make
That wish, nor from the pleasant secret part;
Nor yet because deferred should you forsake
The hope you've centered in this ancient art

INJURED ON THE BOULEVARD.

William McNichols,of Luzerne street,
aged 80 years, sustained a fractured
leg on Saturday by being thrown from
carriage on the Elmhurst boulevard.
McNichols' horse ran away and as the
carriage swerved around one of the
sharp curves in the boulevard he was
thrown from his seat In falling out
of the carriage his right foot became
entangled in the wagon wheel He
was removed to the Lackawanna hos
pital. Previous to the arrival of the
ambulance the injured man was made
as comfortable as possible by attend
ance from DR. McGrath.
Mr.. McNichols had been attending
the race meet on the Speedway and
started for home about o'clock. The
horse became unmanageable and at
the curve just the other side of the
bridge crossing at Nay Aug stream the
driver was thrown out. The horse con-
tinued it's mad flight. There were many
people on the boulevard at the time
and willing hands assisted the injured
man until medical attendance arrived.

70 Be No SCUTTLE POLICY
McKinley's Utterance Worth
Every Plank in the Repub-
lican Platform.
HOME PROSPERITY IS SAFE
People Must Decide Whether They
Will Turn Their Backs and
Plunge the Country Into
Misery, Distress
and Shame.

From the New York Sun OF yesterday.
There is single sentence of six words
in President McKinley's speech OF ac-
ceptance which is worth several columns
Of the platform adopted by the Repub-
lican National Convention without hear
ing it. \,
"There must be no scuttle policy, ,said
the President. He was speaking Of the
Philippines.
The Philippines are ours, there will be
no abatement OF our rights, no abandon
ment Of our duty in that part OF the
world. The English dictionary does
not contain words wherewith TO state
more squarey and plainly than did the
President at Canton yesterday the propo-
sitioneat which the platform-makers at
Philadelphia baked just three weeks be-
fore.
Equally straightforward is his state
ment of the financial issue of 1900. There
was no ground for criticising the Phila-
delphia resolution on that subject, but
the paragraph from Mr.. McKinley's
speech is more yirile utterance and a
better plank.
The platform makers were afraid to
declare the Republican doctrine of the
full power of Congress to legislate for the
Territories. MIR. Mckinley supplied the
omission. He asserted the doctrine in
the Identical language which the too pru-
dent gentlemen at Philadelphia rejected
because they thought it might possibly
conflict with future decision of the
Supreme Court.
And Theodore Roosevelt is likewise
sound on the no-scuttle policy. Brief as
was his speech at Oyster Bay. it was
crowded with meaning. 'The people,
said the candidate for Vice President,
"must now decide whether they will go
on the road to prosperity at home and
honor abroad, or turn their backs on
what has teen done in the past three
and one quarter years, thereby plunging
the country into an abyss OF misery and
distress and, what is worse, shame"
, All the great issues of this contest are
in those few words.
The candidates have taught losson to
. the timid and the trimmers. The candi-
dates made the platform this year, as the
Sun hoped and believed they would.
No scutting from the advance line OF
expansion abroad. No scuttling OF pros.
perity at home.

TwIRLED A CONDUCTOR.
Ex-BaIl Player Objected TO Wet Car
Seat and Refused to Pay His Fare

Ex-BalI Player Objected to Wet Car
Seat and Refused to Pay His Fare
John Mcmahon the ex-base ball PLAYER
became incensed at Condu ctor Potts on
Thursday night because he would not
wipe the rain water from the seat of
Delaware avenue car and refused to pay
his fare. -
McMahon resides at Rising Sun and
boarded a westbound car at Delaware
avenue station about 8 o'clock and the
trouble began when the car reached
Union street. After some words Nc
Mahon, who is an adept ball twirler,
began to try the twirling act on conduc
tor Potts, but neither Mcmahon nor the
conductor were much hurt. At Wood
lawn avenue policeman boarded the
car and took Mcmahon in hand, Escort
ing him home. A woman on the car b..
came hysterical.
The policeman did not arrest Nc
Mahon because he had not seen the
alteration, but conductor Potts will
swear out the necessary warrant ior lis
arrest today.
There has been considerable complaint
OF late that the late cars going to Rising
sun are used by ruffians who make the
life OF the conductors miserable because

SUIT lady passengers. Something should
oe done to break up this miserable prac-
tice.

KANSAS FOR M'KINLEY.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Kansas has been the prolific breeding
ground Of Populism; but Populism is
largely matter OF bad crops, droughts
and grasshoppers. This year there is
an enormous wheat crop in Kansas, and
there is a practical certainty Of a ready
market for it, Nothing more untoward
could have possibly happened for the
politicians whose prospect Of success is
based upon reasonable amount of
calamity. The wheat crop is likely to
carry Kansas for Mckinley.

HIS RE ELECTION KILLED.

Heavy Handicap to the Boom of This
Democratic Ofticebc'der From
sussex County.
From the Milford Chronicle.

Insurance Commissioner Edward Fow-
Ter, has had very effective plaster put
over his aspirations for reelection, by
the failure of the Republic Savings Loan
Association of New York. The laws of
Delaware require that the Insurance
Commissioner shall compel every for
,eign company desiring to do business in
this State, to deposit collateral security
10 cover the amount of business it may
be liable for with the State Treasurer. It
is claimed that this had not been done,
and the people of Wilmington have sus-
tained heavy loss thereby. Mr.. Fow-
Ter will find this heavy handicap for
his boom.
