casion, but the carrying out of these
will rely entirely upon tine success hat
by the finance committee in raising
funds.

The Democracy's DUTY,

THE COLUMBIAN, published al
Bloomsbury, Columbia County, is
of the opinion that the Democratic
party must shake itself loose from
the Republican machine if it is
ever to hope for success. THE
COLUMBIAN is right. The party
must cut loose from Quayism
and in so doing it must set adrift
that element of sc-called Democracy
that has for years acted in accord
with the machine, has done its work
and accepted its rewards.
So long as the State Democracy
retains its Donnellys and it's Ryans
and permits them to share in its
management so long will it be
without influence. 1t will be the
stronger without them. That ele-
ment which has so long worked
hand in hand with the machine has
no right to masquerade under the
name Of Democracy. 1t is to all
intents and purposes an adjunct of
the Quay machine and should share
its name as it shares its infamy.
The state Democracy can 10 longer
tolerate such traitors in its camp.
They are not Democrats and should
be forced into the Quay ranks,
where they rightly belong.
Tie Democracy, therefore must
purge itself Of its own undesirable
elements; it must not only cut loose
from Quay, but from every thing
that savors of Quayism. 1t is TAX
ing the right course in Philadelphia
and has only to continue in that
course to win success, for it will
deserve success and will rally to its
standard every respectable Dem
ocratic and Independent voter.
1t is not likely to have the sup
port of the Ryan-Donnelly annex,
but it can we'll afford to do with
out It. In fact, it will be the strong
er without it. This gang has never
done anything but betray the party
to the machine. That is its mission;
that is what it is paid for. 1t should
be promptly repudiated and there
is increasing evidence that it will
be.-Et7e HeraN.

Measure Creating New Places Disapproved.

Governor Stone has vetoed the
bill providing for the relief of indi-
gent Union soldiers, sailors and
marines and the INDECENT wives,
widows and minor children of indi-
gent or deceased Union soldiers,
sailors or marines by the levying OF
tax of one-tenth of one mill by
County Commissioners, which fund
is to be distributed by soldiers re-
lief committees and commissions.
The enactment of this bill"
says the Governor, "would create a
soldiers pauper list and would place
this honorable class of our citizen
ship in the position of objects of
charity, and I am sure that the old
soldiers and those dependent upon
them would very properly resent
such action. In addition to this, the
tax thus levied would be so small
that fully one-half Of it would be
eaten up by the cost Of the collec-
ton and quite proportion of the
balance by the committees and
commissions in the various wards,
townships, boroughs and counties
charged with its distribution. 1t
is needless to say that l am in favor
OF all legislation which will benefit
the soldiers, sailors and marines,
but do not consider that this is a
measure in their interest.

FOR a FUSION TICKET.
Blair Democrats in Line.

The Blair County Democratic
convention held at Altoona on Mon
day, asked the State convention of
that party to nominate for State
Treasurer Hon. Elisha A. Coray,
Jr., the aggressive independent Re-
publican of Luzerne County. The
five delegates to the gathering of
the Democracy at Harrisburg on
the 18th of August were pledged to
vote for him, and all elements of
the party, as represented in the
boom for the insurgent Legislator.
The action taken was the result
Of a deliberate conviction that Cor
ay is the man for the Treasulership,
and the Endorsement given him had
been foreshadowed.
Judge Harman Yerkes, of Berks
County, was endorsed for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Supreme
Judge and the delegates to the
State convention were instructed to
vote for him.
1t is probable, if a fusion arrange
ment should be effected on State
ticket, that there will be fusion of
Democrats and Independent Re-
publicans in Blair County on nomi-
nees for the local Offices.
The resolutions adopted are con-
fined entirely to State issues. All
the actions of the men, who, though
elected as Democrats, were instru-
mental in securing the election of
Marshall as Speaker of the State
House of Representatives, and who,
with other nominal Democratic
Legislators, were the servants of the
Quay machine throughout the Leg
lslative session, were condemned.
Among other things the resolu-
tons say that never before in the
history of this great State has it
been so viciously misgoverned as
II is to-day. Pennsylvanians are
an upright and intelligent people,
yet they have permitted them selves
to become the prey of conscience
less political machine, which has
corrupted the legislative and execu-
tive departments of the State govern
ments, and has even lowered the
honor and dignity of the Supreme
Court"
In indorsing Yerkes and Coray
the resolutions declare
"The Democracy of Blair County recog.
nizes the untiring efforts of Hon. Elisha A.
Coray. Jr., of Luzerne County, in resisting
the machine mandates of his party to loot
the State Treasury steal the public fran
~hIses and destroy local self-government by
the passage of the ripper bills, and, beiev.
ing that the time has now arrived when all
good citizens of this Commonwealth, ire
spective of party, who believe in honest gov
eminent, should unite together to drive from
power the Republican thieves and their ren.
egade Democratic allies, hereby call upon the
Democratic State convention to place upon
the State ticket the name of Hon. Elisha A.
CoraY, Jr, for State Treasurer
In orde- that corrective may be applied
and that the government OF the State be
properly offcered, we recommend for the
Democratic nomination for Justice of the
Supreme Court the Hon. Herman Yerkes,
Judge OF the Bucks County Courts. Con. |
sPlcuous for learning as a jurist, for sou d |
Judgment and unimpeachable integrity, he is |
IN every way fitted to restore the impaired |
dignity Of the Supreme bench"

LONDON Nov 25.-Marconi will sail
Monday for ST. Johns, Newfoundland. to
carry out some interesting scientific ex-
periments AS it would be tedious and
expensive work to erect huge mast at
each spot selected for an experimental
station Marconi takes with him two bal

the balloons will be kept about 150 feet
in the air, but may be used up to 300 feet.
The sea station will be on steamer
equipped with pole 120 feet high. The
effect of rocky shores, inclosed bays and
fogs will be studied. Electrical disturb

The curvature of the earth has nothing
to do with limiting the radius of wireless
communication. So far as we have been

foolish for me to venture to predict but

there is any immediate probability of our

CREEK PREMIER
GIVES REASONS
Deputies Are Told Why
There Have Been
Great Riots.
Governments Action Is Ap-
proved After an Exciting
Debate.

ATHENS, Nov. 23-Theoktis, the Greek
Premier, taking part to-day In an eX-
cited debate in the Chamber of Deputies
over the recent disturbances here arising
from the objection of the students to the
translation of the gospels into modern
Greek, quoted from certain letters of the
Holy Synod, addressed to Queen Olga III
1893, in which the Synod's reasons against
the translation of the gospels were ex-
planned.
The Premier blamed the Metropolitan
of Athens, Procopius Oeconimidis, tor the
disturbances. He said the Metropolitan,
owing to the weakness of his character,
had not the courage to support the Synod
upon the occasion of the Metropolitan )
audience with the Queen.
Referring to Queen Olga the Premier
said her piety, Christian sentiments and
nobility Of character were the admiration
of the whole world. During the war she
was everywhere told by wounded soldiers
that they could not read the gospels be-
cause they did not understand the text.
The Queen then arranged, continued the
Premier, for the publication of a transla-
ton of the gospels into modern Greek, eX-
clusively for family use.
The recent disorders had been caused,
Theoktis explained, by the demonstrators
assailing the troops with stones and re-
volvers. The troops only fired in the air.
That was proved by the wounds of the
victims being from revolver and not from
rifle bullets. When speaking of the dead
tears ran down the Premiers cheeks and
the sitting of the Chamber was suspended
for some minutes in order to allow him
to regain his composure.
The opposition was led by Delyannis,
who accused the Ministry of weakness
and of being responsible for murder
Vast and noisy crowds surrounded the
Chamber of Deputies while the debate was
going on. The troops, however, were dis
posed in force and overawed the assem-
blage. The Chamber finally adopted a
resolution approving the Governments
action by vote of 107 to 81. The Depu-
ties at the close of the sitting were safely
escorted from the building to their homes
The city is resuming its normal aspect
