BY the election of Democratic

reVislons of past Republican congresses
are the sure indications of the reforms
to be expected of Republican con-
crosses IN the future.
In my judgment. the tariff is the su-

questions may be but of the hour-they
Will pass with the occasion-but this
is ever with us. 1t has to do with
providing needed revenues for the sup

ed from its original purpose. as under
the present law. II becomes an engine
of oppression, and imposes grievous
burdens upon the people. Tariff re-
form is imperative. This can come
only through the instrumentality of the
Democratic party. No prophet is need
ed to tell that there VIII be no readiust-
ment or revision by the party now in
power
Keeping in view the ancient land
marks established by our grandfathers,
the Democratic party is opposed to the
policy of territorial ggIandizement In
augurated by the Republicans. The
subtugation of the Philippine Islands
was without constitutional warrant and
in direct antagonism Of the spirit of
the great chart of uLr liberties There
is no place in our governmental system

no subjects in n government whose
cornerstone rs the Declaration OF hide

be at once declared. There should he

the trust issue, which he said was the

the Republican party as political in

Mr.. WI will be accompanied to Chi

PLENTY OF COAL.
More Mined Yesterday Than Any
Day Since the Strike.

Day Since the Strike.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Oct. 27.-More coal
was mined and more men employed in
mining to-day than any day since the
mines in the anthracite region resumed
work. The only districts that lag be-
hind in the output are Lehigh and Ma
honey. The individual operators and
their employees in those districts are
still at loggerheads. In the Wyoming
and Lackawanna regions all the collier
les are in operation with the exception
of a few which are still under water.
The Eighth and Ninth Regiments of
State Militia, who are stationed in the
Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys,
have nothing to do these days, and time
is hanging heavily on the hands of the
soldiers.
Some petty cases of quarreling be-
tween union men and non-union men
continue to be reported, but nothing Sc
rious. At the Exeter mine of the Lee
high Valley Coal Company to-day
eight men were discharged because
they would not do the work of a driver
boy who was refused his place when
he. applied for It.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The long ex-
pected response of the Colombian gov
eminent to the proposition made by the
State Department for the negotiation
of canal treaty, on the lines of the
Spooner act has reached Washington
and was presented to the State De-
partment to-day by Mr.. Herran, the
Secretary of the Colombian legation. 1t
is difficult to learn the exact nature
of this communication, but it is known
that it is not altogether an unqualified
acceptance of the State Departments
propositions. For one thing the Co
lombian government is now entirely
dissatisfied with the small amount of
the payment to be made to ii by the
United States. This sum is $7,000,000.
Colombia wants at least SO 100000.
The original proposal looked to
wait for fourteen years before begin
ming the payment of annual rental.
Colombia now asks the United States
to agree at once on a lump yearly pay
ment of 100000. The Colombian gov
ernent clings to its contention that it
has no constitutional authority to
ALLEVIATE any Colombian territory.

Tamaqua, Pa, Oct. 27.-Park Place
colliery, operated by Lentz & Co., sit
uated between Mahanoy City and De-
lano, did not resume to-day, owing to
the fact that the operators refused to
take back fifteen union men discharged
because of the claim that they were
ringleaders in the disturbances which
occurred during the strike. The union
held a meeting yesterday and the men,
bers decided by unanimous vote to
stay out unless these men were rein
stated.
This strike effects nearly 1000 men

Lieut.. Gen. Miles will retire for age

How Pat Held His Job.

Inc following story was told the other evening
at an East Side club by one OF Milwaukec's best
story tellcrs:
An lrishman, out of work and poor in purse
but strong in the faith of his forefathcrs wa.
walking along a country road in search of en-
ploSment. He had travelled for some distance
"hcn he met a Lutheran farmer to whom he al
once applied for something to do
After asking him his name, whence he had
come and what he could do, the farmer told the
man tlat lie could give him employment, but. a,
he Judged from his nationality that he was q
catholic, he feared that his conscience would
not permit him TO do everything that might be
required of him.
Faith, and PLAT IL it that ycz ud have me
do?' asked Pat.
Well replied the farmer, among other
thlhgs, 1t would be your duty to drive my wife
and myself TO church every Sunday morning.
Sure Ord have objections to doin' the
loikes of that said Pat
cry well, then remarked the farmer, you
may consider yourself engaged.
me following Sunday morning Pat hitched
up the horses and, the farmer and his wife lav-
ing seated themselves in the wagon, started for
the house of worship. The road led by a Cath
ohc church. where Pat was in the habit of at
lending services As the party approached the
church Fat began to feel uneasy. He could not
make up his mind whether to live up to his
agreement, or to get off the wagon, go to mass
and let the farmer and his wife continue their
journey alone. Finally, with an heroic effort
lie set his teeth, put the rcins to the horses and,
casting one lingering look at his chuch, said:

These developments, Or. Salmon con-

had not been supposed that rabies ex-
listed to this extent anywhere in the
United States. Instead of being an ex-
tremely rare disease, to be found but
once or twice in lifetime, even by
those who are diligently seeking it for
the purpose of Investigation, as has
been represented, the facts cited show
that rabies has existed for years almost
continuously at the national capital.
In order to learn something of the oc-
currence OF rabies In other parts of the

quested of veterinary schools, state
veterinarians, and other persons who
would probably be in possession of such

DIR. Coates, of the American Veterinary

ceived in it's hospital from 800 to 400

tilted to the existence of Il great deal
of rabies In the farm animals in dif-

that rabies is Il much more
