The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-09-20

Berwick was, defeated at base ball
on Saturday by Pottsville, in one OF
the cleanest and closest games that
has ever been played within the
confines of our neighboring town.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Berwick boys wanted the game in
the worst kind of way, because OF
the intense revally which exists be-
tween the two teams, they accepted
the medicine with becoming respect
and frankly admitted that the con-
test was won squarely on its merits.
So seldom has befeat fell to the lot
of their boys this season that the
whole populace, like the players,
was somewhat spressed over the
outcome. Not until the twelfth
inning did victory perch upon the
banners of Pottsville. AT this point
with the score a tie at 6 to 6, and
with two men out and two strikes
on the batter, he struck at wild
pitch which the Berwick catcher
was unable to stop, and a runner
who had been patiently waiting on
third base trotted home with the
winning run. Berwick has played
championship ball all season, hav-
ing lost only three games.

Sydney, Oldest son of DR.. J. P.
Hoffa of Washingtonville was held
up along the public road, between
Watsontown and his home, Thurs
day evering last. A man emerged
from hiding place and made a
grab for the bride, but fortunately
the animal took fright and sprang
forward, and running down the
road, saved its driver from any loss.
This is the second attempt of this
sort that has been made at about
the same place, within the past two
months.

took fright at George M. Hughes

away. The wagon was badly used
up, but the animal was not hurt.
There is all act of assembly which
if complied with, would lesson the
accidents occasioned by traction
engines. The act says that man

caution taken.

AS there seems to be misunder-
standing in regard to the squirrel
hunting season, it being published
in some papers that it opened on
September IS, we would say that
this is a mistake, and some sports
men are liable to get into trouble.
The season is open from October IS
to December IS, inclusive. A cor
rect resume of the game law was
published in this paper two weeks
ago.

The Foolish Calf.

n When Senator Hanna spoke at Youngs-
town. Ohio recently, he told a story Of
calf that left its mother to run after
a steer Secretary Heath has taken up
this idea and developed it into cam-
paign poster which very artistically de-
picts Senator Hanna idea. The calf is
seen chasing the steer in the distance;
the COW is in the foreground sanntering
quietly home, while the boy stands with
uplifted fist shaking it at the calf, say
ing, You little fool you little fool, you
did fool, you'll be sorry when supper
time comes.
The picture is entitled 'sThe Foolish
Calf, or Lesson to Labor" and stand
ing by fence in front Of cottage are
a farmer and woman, the man with a
full dinner pail in his hand. This poster
is sure TO catch on and is likely to be a
good vote getter.
When Senator Hanna arrived in Chi
cago this week it was shown to him and
surprised him. He had no idea that Mr.
Heath had been developing his story.

There are many reasons which lmpel
the voters Of the mountain States to sup
port the nominees and the policy OF the
Republican Party this fall. One word
more than any other explains the position
Of our people in this support and that
word is confidence.
The record Of the Republican party is
record Of fulfilled promises.
The first act Of the party after its re-
turn to power was the enactment Of the
,Dingley tariff law, which again placed us
on protection basis s.
Take for example the benefits which
have accrued to my own State, ldahos
Among our principal industries are min
ing, cattle and sheep growing and farm
ing. 4 IN # ISL
The great lead mines of the State are
working every man possible at wages Of
So so per day Of eight hours. During
the three years Of President cKinley's
administration the value Of the lead pro-
duced in the State was $14 IL, ,005, while
during the last three years Of President
Cleveland's administration the total value
was only $7,86O, 151.
Our sheep have advanced in price from
$1.15 to $3.50 per head, gain to the
people of the State of over three million
dollars in the value Of the sheep alone.
In the year 1896 the wool clip Of Idaho
was valued at $442, ,6S5, while for the
year 1900 it is estimated that il will bring
to the wool growers of the State So

A very conservative estimate Of the
number Of cattle in the State is 800, GOO.
They have increased in value on an aver
age Of SIS per head. making the cattle
men at least seven and one-half million
dollars richer than they were three years
ago The increase in the price Of horses
OF SO per head has also added between
one and two million dollars to the wealth
Of the State.
The voters of this State and of the
other mountain States are not blind to
these facts, and on election day they will
give earnest evidence of their confidence
| in the party whose policy has so enriched
and prospered them.
We Of the West are proud Of the
| achievements Of onr army and navy in
the war with Spain. The patriotic posi-
tion Of the Republican party in declaring
for the retention Of the territory so gall
lantIy won from Spain appeals to our
people.
They do not fear imperialism" for we
have never met an American who was
an imperiaiist. ] am in receipt of let
tiers from many men who have never vot-
ed anything but Democratic ticket. but
who will vote for Mckinley and Roose-
velt on this issue alone.
You can count on the electoral vote of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyo-
ming and perhaps Montana and Colorado
for Mckinley and prosperity.

EX-NIAYOR S0UARELY
FOR REPUBLICANS.
Supreme Court Would Nullify
Any Imperialistic Ideas.
Every True Democrat Can Take No
Other Course Except to Vote the
Republican Ticket.

| (By Abram s. Hewitt Of New York, for
merly Mayor and Member of Congress.)
The political situation at this time is
OF very different character from that
which presented itself four years ago. AT
that time it seemed possible to maintain
distinct Democratic organization, based
upon the fundamental principles enun-
ciated by Jefferson, and which had con-
tinued to govern the party in all previous
presidential elections. The recent con-
vention held at Kansas City has, how
ever, rendered all such expectations hope-
less. The party which calls itself Demo
cratic is in reality Populistic. and based
upon doctrines which, if carried into eff
feet, would produce political anarchy.
You ask whether ] believe in the COIN
age OF silver at the ratio Of 16 to l..
You might as well ask me whether be-
lieved that an ounce should be made to
pass for pound In the ordinary transac-
tions Of commerce The ratio is false
ratio The value Of silver measured by
gold is, as every one knows, not 16 to 4.
but 80 to q. The proposition Of the plat
form therefore is to declare that fifty
cents shall by law be made equal to one
dollar.
You ask me whether the present admin
istration is likely to establish an imperial
istic form Of government over this coun-
try or in its new possessions.
] answer that the Constitution Of the
United States is too strongly intrenched
in the affections Of the people to permit
its possible violation by the administra-
ton, and that if such an attempt were
made, the Supreme Court of the United
States will surely interpret the Constitu-
tion in the spirit of its founders and for
the preservation Of the constitutional gov
ernment, to which we owe our stability
and our prosperity.
You nsk whethera Democrat, by voting
for Mckinley and Roosevelt, could be
considered false to the interests Of DEM
ocracy. | answer that do not see how
q Democrat who is true to the interests
OF Democracy can in the present exigency
take any other course than to vote for
the Republican ticket / propose myself
so to vote, and do this because am
Democrat who feels that Bryanism and
all that it stands for is Numerically OPP
posed to the principles Of the Democratic
party, as they were enunciated by Jeffer
son and as they have been construed BY
all the great men who have led the Dem
ocratic party up to the time Of the hold
ing Of the unhappy convention OF 1896,
when the old organization was broken up.
1t is certainly a lesser evil to continue
the government in the hands Of the Re
publican party. for the next four years
than to encounter the perils which would
confront us in case Bryan and his follow
ers should have the opportunity Of put
ting in practice the insane policy to
which they are. committed.
