AN INTERESTING DISTRICT.

one of the most interesting con-
tests for Congress in Pennsylvania
this year, and probably one of the
most uncertain in its results, will be
that of the Sixteenth district, COM
posed of Columbia, Montour, Nor
cumberland and Sullivan counties,
SAYS the Philadelphia Press. The
district would naturally be conceded
to the democrats, but the nomina-
ton of Fred A. Godcharles as the
republican candidate has inspired a
feeling of confidence on the part of
republicans.
Mr.. Godcharles is one of the
Youngest men nominated in the
state, having just reached the age of
30. He is a native of Northumber-
land county and has high standing
among the people as a successful
business man. He was member Of
the last legislature with a record
without stain. The democrats have
nominated Chas. III. Dickerman, a
prominent attorney, who also lives
in Northumberland. 1t is in that
county practically where the battle
will be fought out. Columbia, Sal
liVan and Montour together will give
from 1900 to 2300 democratic majori-
ty,which must be overcome in Nor
thumberiand if a republican is to
win.
This adverse majority has been
twice overcome in the past ten years.
The district first went republican in
the year that Hastings was the party
candidate for Governor. 1t was re-
publican again in the first Mckinley
campaign, but four years ago the
democrats won it back, when they
succeeded in electing ten members
of the state delegation instead of the
three they had in the previous con-
gress. The following table, shows
the result at the last five elections
for Congressman in the district, is
worth attentions:

wages than they did in 1896 In other
words while ISL 1,293. SCI were paid for
wages in these establishments in Penn
sylvania in 1896, in 1900 the amount of
wages paid was $S2
This prosperity has been going on
steadily today in every county in the
state. Under the circumstances, do the
people of Pennsylvania want to return
to the old Democratic system? Will
they join hands with William J. Bry-
an. Robert +. Pattison and other free
silver monomaniacs, who, now that
their crazy financial policies have been
discredited, are turning their attention

system? | think not. They will stand

gressional delegation.

THAT the Democratic party Favored
expansion beyond the main land is
shown by it's record upon the question
of the acquisition of Cuba, which was
always favored by the party, and
strongly advocated during the admins
trations of Pierce and Buchanan. | do
not consider the fact that the Republi-
can party happened to be in power at
the time the country entered upon this
great epoch in its history justifies the
Democratic party in changing its his
torical attitude upon this great ques-
ton.
Its hostility to this policy has been
carried so far that upon one occasion
in the house the party voted as unit,
with one marked exception, against APP
propriating the small sum of 5000 600
to build shelter for our troops in the
Philippines.
CAN'T TRUST DEMOCRATS.
Il have followed the course of the
Democratic party in congress with
much interest, and am constrained to
say that, in my judgment, it would not
be for the best interests of the country
to put it in control of that body at the
present time and, so believing, | find
myself unable to support its candi-
dates.
THE selection of a senator of the
United States from Pennsylvania and
of members of the lower house of con-
gress will be largely influenced at the
coming election by the attitude of the
voters toward the head of the ticket.
The contest, therefore cannot be con-
fined to state issues or to the correc-
tion of existing evils In the admins
tration OF state government. National
issues will be paramount.
Questions of state administration
will be subordinated. If state issues
are incidentally considered no more
abundant guarantees that the duties of
the high office of governor will be
wisely and faithfully performed are
needed than those which are furnished
by the ability, high character and in
tegrity of the Hon. Samuel w. Penny
packer"

tFrom Our Own Correspondent
Philadelphia, Aug. 1S.-Charles Henry
Jones, who was assistant collector of
the port under Cleveland, a prominent
Democrat and a member of the Phila-
delphia bar, has publicly declined to
become member of Robert e. Patti
sons Democratic campaign committee.
ocratic party cannot be trusted and in
which he declares for Judge Penny
packer for governor, Mr.. Jones says:
REFUSES TO AID PATTISON.
Il am in receipt of your letter in
forming me that | have been named
member of the citizens committee to
aid the campaign for the election of
Hon. Robert E. Pattison for governor.
| highly appreciate this honor and re-
gret very much that | am unable to
accept the position; but as | am not
in accord with the present policy of the
Democratic party upon the important
question of money and expansion, |
cannot advocate the election of its
candidates for office
Sound money and expansion have
always been, until the present time,
fundamental doctrine of the Democrat
ic party. Florida and the whole coun-
try lying between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific ocean, including the
Louisiana purchase, the annexation of
Texas, the Gadsden purchase and that
vast extent of territory ceded to the
United States as the result of the Mex
lean war. were all acquired under Dem
ocratic administration of the govern
ment. when the party was a united and
powerful organization. This policy ad-
ded to the country more than two
thirds of its present area.
1.-The territory acquired under it now
comprises twenty states, and Is the
seat of more than one-fourth of the
population of the country. To this
expansion is largely due our present
greatness and prosperity, and the Dem
ocratic party is entitled to credit for
the great benefits that have resulted
to the country from this wise policy
in the past.
EXPANSION is NECESSARY.
81 can seen no distinction in princi-
pie because the results of the Spanish
war, which have been of so incalcula-
| BILE benefit to the country, both at
/ home and abroad, have carried this
doctrine, in the natural course of
events, beyond the seas. 1t has cer-
tainly added greatly to the power and
importance of the country as member
of the family of nations, and as we are
a commercial people the value of this
cannot be over estimated
AS one of the great powers of the
world we must avail ourselves of every
advantage that will enable us to per-
form our duties as such, and to sus-
tain ourselves in our relations with for
eign powers. This certainly cannot be
! accomplished il we retire within our
own borders and confine ourselves to
our own domestic affairs while the 9TH
er great powers are pursuing different
policy.

1t is not generally know that the
treasurer's sales that were held in
the treasurer's Office in this Bor-
ough last June will be the last, the
legislation under which the sales
have been conducted in the .past
having been suspended by the act
of assembly of 1901. Under the
new law, as it now stands, where
the owner of the land fails to pay
his taxes, the county commission
ers simply file claim in the pro-
thonotary's Office which thereupon
becomes lien upon the land. The
execution may then be issued and
the land levied upon and sold by
the sheriff.
Owners of real estate will save
considerable money in costs by pay

Figures Compiled BY a PhiladeIphan
Warn of Democracy's Evils.

In little monograph which Mr.. John
w. Frazer of Philadelphia, has issued,
there is food for thought for every
Pennsylvania, irrespective of party.
Mr.. Frazer has been at considerable
trouble to collect statistics showing the
disastrous effects of Democratic ad-
ministration on the country. Here are
some of his figures:
During the four years of Cleveland,
under the Wilson free trade tariff, from
1892 to 1896, our total exports of do
mestic merchandise amounted to So
346,S2S, sos. (See page 92 Statistical
Abstract of the United States for 1901)
During the four years of Mckinley,
| from 1896 to 1900, under the Dingley
protective tariff-which took the place
of the Wilson free trade aCt-the total
value of exports of domestic merchand-
Use was 81 ,Sl6, 1874 309, an excess of ST.
0,l65, sol over that of the four PIE
ceding years of Clevelandism. (See
same page, same publication.)
During Clevelands four years-1S92
to 1S96-the total value of exports of
American domestic products in excess
of the total value of foreign products
imported into the United States. was
1896, ,S5S. CSC.
During the four years of Mckinley
| 1896 to l900-the total value of eX-
ports of American domestic products, in
excess of the total value of foreign
| products imported into the United
States was $1,976, IL, ,531, an excess of
1,579, ,253, ,S45 over the four preceding
years of Clevelandism. (See Statistical
Abstract of the u. s., page 92 for 1901
The total amount of tin plate i'm
ported into the United States during
the four years of free trade under
Cleveland, from 1892 to 1896, was So
629,S94 pounds. During the four years
under Mckinley, from 1896 to 1900, our
total import of tin plates was 16, 567,
lac pounds, a decrease of 34,062. 74S
pounds.
During the four years of Cleveland
and the Wilson tariff-1S92 to 1S96--we
manufactured 531, ,072 1868 pounds of tin
plate. During the four years of Nc
kinley and the Dingley tariff we man
ufactured 2,665, ,601. .263 pounds of tin
plate, an excess over the four preceding
years of Clevelandism of 2,134, 52S, 900

Progress of Science of Ventilation May
Make that Possible
DR.. A Wynter Blyth, barrister-at-
law and medical officer OF health for
Marylebone. had startling PROPOSE
tion to make in his capacity OF new
president of the Incorporated Society
of Medical Officers of Health. who held
their annual gathering at the hotel
Cecil.
In his presidential address he dis
cussed the subject of ventilation" in
all its bearings, says the London
Chronicle. To improper ventilation
he attributed the low state of public
health, which conduced to the spread
Of tuberculosis and other maladies.
He said IT was within the possibill-
ties of modern science to make the
deepest mine not only haDitable. but
agreeable and healthy. IL might be
hereafter a contribution to the solu-
ton of the housing question to bui
downward in the depths instead of up
ward on the mountain.
One could imagine a cavernous city.
where the sky was the ever white.
changeiess chalk. where no rain fell.
where no frost penetrated. where the
light never failed. and where dry.
warm. filtered. purified. ozonized air
Dathed the lungs and famed the
checks OF the denizens in the constant
white glare of a neyer-dying summers
day.
If some of the great expert talent
now employed in the Investigation
to sewage and sewage-disposal were
diverted to the study OF ventilation
our factories and workshops would
put out more work in a given time,
and the mean duration OF human life
in the country would be appreclably
heightened.

New Resort in New Mexico.

( An illustration of the immediate
effect new railroad has upon the
country through which it is built
is had in the opening of new re-
sort on the El Paso line of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
which il is proposed shall immedi-
ately become one of the famed re-
sorts on transcontinental lines of
the West.
Clcudcroft, as the new resort is
called, is situated in New Mexico
at the crest of the Sacramento
mountains, 1900 feet above sea
level, having Temperature of 60
TO ~ degrees during the months
of June, July, August and Sep
tember. Perusal of the handsome
forty-page booklet issued by the
passenger department of the Rock
Island, descriptive of the locality
with numerous half-tone views,
gives the impression that Cloud
croft is the center of II charming
scenic spot. 1t is evident that New
Mexico has scenery in the eastern
range of its portion of the Rockies
quite as attractive as better adver-
tised sections. The aggressiyeness
of the Rock Island will soon bring
Cloudoroft into prominence as a
midcentinent resort where trans
continental tourists may stop off
for a day or u week and enjoy the
atmosphere and attractions of the
high altitude to health benefit.

Seven O'Clock was the hour.
He looked at his watch. II was

he forgot that his mead was aching.
He called the hotel people few
names. As he buttoned his collar he
told the mirror what he was going to
do to that clerk just as soon as he
could get down stairs. By the time be
was dressed his rage and righteous in

He felt like killing some one.
