Reqistration for the Primaries.

Let no one think because he is registered for voting purposes in an election that he is registered against the city Democratic primaries. All who desire to vote on De- cember S1 pust register anew in his own ward. The registration books are now open. and will remain open week longer, and every one who desires to vote in the primaries on the last day of the month should be registered.
 The good government of the city is at stake, and the chances are that the pri- maries of December 31 will be the most ex- citing the city has ever known. They will at least be the real election, the later cleo ton in May being but a legal formality The officers of the city for two years to come will be selected on December d. h. terested persons are a work, running their followers into the registration places, and it behooves the great body of voters to reg peace. The man who does not register for the primaries will be a man who will have TO voice in the coming election.
 What Is needed is full registry of citi- zens; the independent citizen does his own thinking and acts upon it. It is that kind of men that are needed today at the ward registration places. The books are open until o'clock each night, and no one has a valid excuse for refusing to do his duty to his neighbors and fellow-citizens.

Popular Vote in the SouIh.

The New York World shows that in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas-the twelve states that consti- tute what is generally known as the 'Solid South,' the Republican vote is in- creasing while the Democratic vote is de- creasing. It prints this table in corroba- ton of its statements:
 1892
 Democratic ....... .... 1,491, 900 Repuphcan ..'... ...... .... Io40oo Populist ........ ...... 391,000

 ---- 2,6O7,00o 1900-
 Democratic-Po Populist fusion 1,475,ODO hepuDican 55oUVU
 --- 2,46S, ,0e0 The rising Republican vote does not up- hold the Republican statement that that vote Is ir course of suppression by legisla- ton or intimidation or trickery-one or all--for it is increasing steadily, bidding fair to cross the million line in 1904. But the effort of the World to show that the illumination in the Democratic vote is due to a dislike of anybody or anything, simply shows that the World does not understand the situation. If there could be an active and actual contest in each county over county officers >and the presidential election could be held at the same time the World would see all it's figures and theories go to pieces. The decrease in the Democratic vote is due to the fact that the presidential election in the South does not as rule occur when State and county officers are elected, and comparatively few vote. Men will not go out of their way to vote when the result is not doubtful. A forgone conclusion never did bring out full vote in this country, and never will. The World should charge up the loss in Democratic votes to shiftlessness and let it go at that

Acurfew Bell.

Our worthy mayor in his message to
the City Council refers in fitting words to
the difficulty in dealing properly with the
boys OF our town. especially OF night
time. The establishing OF a Curfew law
would to every well-thinking citizen. be
most potent means TO bring about this re-
form and would meet with the approval
OF every well wishing parent, and such
law should be passed and put in force at
once.
No parent would be so indulgent as not
to be in sympathy with such a movement.
10 see that their children are properly
placed where they belong. under the par
entail roof at eight O'Clock or nine. and il
any parent or guardian there be. who does
not see the good to be derived from such
a law, in behavior and morals, let him visit
hingwood. Hagerstown and some other
towns that have a curfew law. and they
VII witness no boys around, playing on
the squares, and making night hideous
I'll ten and eleven clock, utterly regard
less OF the Iateness of the hour. the vigil
lance OF the police or the common pro
PrIetles OF the citizens Of the neighbor-
hoods they are in.
1t IS very easy of course to com plain to
the Mayor or Town Council. Out they
cannot do it ALL A Curfew law woujd
compel all such refractory lads 70 90
home to Their mothers at the proper hour
and thus rid the town of the much COR
planned OF nuisance and bring order ard
quletude in every precinct in the town.
Let US by all means have a Curfew bel
rung, and by so doing, not only perpetu-
ate and establish a most beautiful and
time honored custom, but inaupurate a
reform that will rebound to the
good of the community at large, and
the observance of it will bring quiet
and rest to many nervous and wakeful
people, who are seeking repose from their
days labor in the calm and restful sieep
and thus be able to begin new dav re-

Beneath the earth's cold sod;

And put your trust in God

And lisps to God the praises,
Our Saviour doth command.

Where friends no more shall weep
For those that die in Jesus,
That death is only sleep.

THOMAS MARCELLUs RUssLER.

The announcement of the sudden and
unexpected death of Assistant Post Mas
ter Thomas Marcelus Russler, which &C.
Cured at his home, I26 Liberty street,
Tuesday morning at four O'Clock, was a
severe shock his numerous. friends and
acquaintance throughout the city,
His death was caused by pneumonia,
FASTENED by blood poison and probably
erysipelas. He was twenty-nine years Of
age.
The deceased contracted severe cold
by being caught out in the rain on Thurs
day. He was returning from a visit to
the farm on the Wiliamsport pike when
he became soaking wet in the rain. This
gave him severe cold which on Satur-
developed into pneumonia Mr.. Russ
ler's blood was in bad condition at the
time he was taken ill and this, with his
feeble frame of body. served to hasten his
death. From the time symptoms of pneu-
monia began to develope he sank rapid
ly and on Monday it was evident that the
end was near. He rallied little on Mou-
day but that did not last long, and this
morning at four o'clock he passed quietly
and peacefully away.
The shock that was caused in the Rus
sler family by the death of one of the ia
vorite members was great, as also was it
to his fellow employees, comrades and &C
quaintanceS, of whom he had many. He
was model young man, of temperate
habits honest and upright in all his trans
ACTIONS. He was one of the most popu-
lar young men ever employed at the post
Office and was very popular with the pa
irons, as well as with the employees of the
Office.
The deceased was born on Liberty
street, in the house in which he died. He
received his education in the schools OF
the city and shortly after his graduation
from the High School was employed as
clerk in the Master Mechanics office in
the b. & O. shops. When Mr.. Clohan
was appointed Post Master by President
Mckinley in 1897, he selected him as the
Assistant Post Master which trusted posi-
ton he filled very satisfactorily and which
he held at the time of his death.
The deceased was the son of ex-Presi-
