The Voter s Duty.

Believing implicitly in the fun damental principles of our gov ernment-that the people rule each individual given, the right ofsuArage, has a solemn duty to perform. 1t is not only the du- ty of voting; but the still higher and more important duty of knowing how to vote. The veal or woe of our country de- pends upon the intelligence, the patriotism and conservatism of it's citizens. If they are careless, needless and unconcerned the evils which are apt to befall them may be appalling. Igno- rance ottimes begets ignorance, ndignorant, though we'll mean ing men, do hurtful things with out knowing or intending what they do, but the result Is as bad if they were purposely done. Hence, the necessity for the vot- er-the man who fills the place with the place-hunter-to be cir cumspect, to be cautious. He should be interested in selecting the very best men, to be had, to fill the various offices of the Ma tion, State and County, and to successfully do this 1t is abso- lutely necessary for him to be- come as familiar as possible with the works, life and character oi the candidates their possibili. ties and probabilities. The vot- CT who conseientiouslv studies men and measures, and then ex- ercises his right of suffrage for what he consistently believes to be for his country's good does his full duty; but the one who Is swayed by prejudice. hobbies, envy, spite, fear, or the hope ot private gain, IS unworthy to be invested with the ballot, be he high or low. rich or poor.

: applause and good will of every member of the Convent ti0n; and
 during the entire struggle of
 that memorable Convention, Mir Taylor was one of the most in-
 defatigable workers. and never Jagged, for a moment, until
 Judge Wood was triumphantly
 nominated. In that Convention
 there were four candidates seek ing the nomination. namely: Judge Cravens. Judge Riddick, Judge Fletcher and Judge Wood, and for three days and nights the battling hosts contended against each other, and during the whole time, the banner of old Jefferson county could be seen i'll the thickest of the fray advancing the cause of Drew county and its candidate.
 It is matter of political his tory of this country that Jeffer- son county has stood by Drew county in every struggle that it has ever had for a state office. It was for Hon. Wood E. Thompson, for Superintendent of Public Instruction, it was for Hon. Carroll D. Wood, for As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court and 1t was for Hon. N. Y. Wadsworth in his race for Com missioner of Mines and Agricul- ture; and we deem 1t but meet and proper that our people should know it. Give Mir. Tay- Tor that consideration that he so justly deserves, and both he and his friends will be satisfied.

The Latest Romance of the South

In the February Ladies' Home Journal are given the first chapters of new romance of the South, en- titled "Those Days in Old Vir- ginia. The author of this story is Miss Laura Spencer Port CT, W hose love stories have already at tracted wide attention, and who, in this instance, presents one of the most charming pictures of the love, beauty and chivalry of the days be- fore the war which has yet been painted in words. Not only is it painted in words, for Mr. w. l.. Taylor. who spent much time in Virginia collecting material and making sketches for the illustra- tions, has finished a series of pie lures to accompany the story which may we'll be said to be the best of his recent work.

policy toward the Philippines is that of assisting the Filipinos to establish national government, of withdrawing American forces when this is done, of holding only such military and naval stations as are necessary for American trade interests in the Far East. The op- posite policy means continual war and the endless sacrifice of Ameri- can blood and treasure. There is no getting away from this truth. The sooner we act upon it con sisently with American principles and the traditional American poli- cy the better for our national wei fare and glory.
 While we are responsible for the government of the Philippines we must use the military arm and use it sternly. Dependence upon the voluntary submission of the popu- lation to American civil control is visionary. StrictRess even to se- verity is wisdom and mercy, if we are to be masters of an alien peo- pie at all. But the true American policy cannot be tyranny even if the method of tyranny is the wisest that can be devised.-Republic'

Situation at Pittston.

Pittston. Pa, May 1.-THE strike Or
der will be obeyed to the letter here
Monday morning. even by almost all of
those mine employees who have not yet
become members of the union. In fact,
the strike is already in force. for few
oollieres in this district worked more
than half day yesterday.
For the past week or more the miners
have curtailed their purchases of sup
plies, in anticipation of strike order,
and many of them had not enough oil
and powder to hold out full day Sat-
urday and therefore worked only a few
hours. At Nos. S, and 10 collieries of
the Erie company, the driver boys quit
work at 10 O'Clock, throwing these
mines into idleness. The companies
also evidenced an intention to curtail
expenses, and at several collieries, such
men as locomotive engineers and COM
pany hands, who are usually kept at
work during temporary idleness, We're
notified to cease work until further Or
ders. Officials at the collieries have
been interviewing the flremen, pump
runners and engineers during the past
week, to ascertain just how many Of
them would stay with the company in
case of strike. Endeavors We're made
TO induce them to sign agreements to
remain at work, but Il majority of the
men refused to do so.
