Editor Streby says that the men
op the Democratic ticket are much
superior to those on the Republi-
can ticket. He is right in some
particulars. Rogers is superior to
any one existing as "bill dodger"
in the Legislature. As space per-
mits we will name them for you.

NOT WANTED
IN CONGRESS
And Not Likely to BE Seht 10
Congress- From This District
This Year.
Mt. Carmel Daily News.

The Hon. Chas. H. Dickerman, of
Milton, who hopes to write "of
Washington" after his signature in
the near future, takes exception to
statement in the NEWS of recent
date in which it was said that IA
man who said S9c ber day was
enough for a working man to live
on'' was not the proper sort of man
to represent any district in Congress.
The DAILY News knew that was
weak point of the w0uld-be-Con-
gressman and the alacrity with
which he has taken up the subject is
proof that it is Il point he does not
care to discuss. 1t was said at Sun
b,.ry on the day of the democratic
nomination that man asked Mr..
Dickerman if it were true that he
had made such an unbccoming dec
laration few years ago. And it is
reported that Mr.. Dickerman an
swcred 81 may have made such an
expression, but if did | am not too
Old to change my opinion of things"
There is no evidence except the
uncorrobOrated statement of Mr..
Dickerman himself that he has
changed his mind upon that subject.
Mr.. Dickerman states in his letter to
the NEWS of the 22nd inst that the
companies with which he has been
associated always paid the highest
current wages in the locality they
were operating in.' The writer of
this article worked in the Milton
nail mills in the spring of 1881 for
$l.2O per day and in the same spring
worked in the Milton car shops
where Mr.. Dickerman was at that
time one of the managers, for $l.1O
per day.
AT the present time the wages
paid by the big car trust of which
Mr.. Dickerman is an integral part
pays the munificent sum of $1.2l
per day at the rate of lie per hour
for II hours
Mr.. Dickerman also says in his
communication to us that he never
was associated with any company
tt tpaid so low Il wages. Mr.. Dick
er, .n has been associated with the
Mil, m car works for many years
and the Milton ca! 'rks have paid
wages as low as S9c day. And
these wages were paio ring the
years that Grover Cleveland occupi-
ed the White House at Washington
and advocated the principles that
Mr.. Dickerman stands for now.
Again we 50 No, that may work
in fishing Gre, out it will not work
in the coal res, rs where the men
are now struggling for an increase in
wages.
GOdcharles will sweep this neck-o-
woods on election day, because he
stands for decent wage rate and be-
cause he has been obliged to do h.
work himself and knows wha it
means to put in ten hours that opens
the pores and forces the sweat from
the face.

Suppose you take your wife into

The Miltonian, published in the
town where our candidate for Con-
gress resides, noticing the attack
made by John G.. Scouten on Mr..
Godcharles says: "The GOdcharles
family-not the candidate-was as
sailed in cOld-blOoded, cruel and
heartless way, in order, if possible to
weaken Hon. Fred. A. GOdcharles.
We know the writer and Mr.. c. A..
Godcharles both, and if the former
had earned the esteem in which the
latter is held here, he would be too
much of a gentleman to contribute
so much dirt to a campaign. Hon
orable men everywhere will be led
to vote for Mr.. GOdcharles because
of this vile attack upon his father
and family. When man steps so
low as to attack women and children
to weaken a candidate against whom
not word can be said, he has reach
ed the limit of cowardice and mean
ness and re ,ectable people every
where should give him the go-by."

Union Hill, \. J., and asked for a
pair of shoes, the clerk noticed moth
ing unusual about his appearance.
1t viii be apparent from what fol-
lows that Diehl is possessed of a
remarkably fine sense of humOr. Said
he to the obliging clerk:
Gimme a pair o button shoes"
While the clerk was getting down
the goods Diehl unfastened his
wooden leg and prepared himself for
the merry jest that was to follow.
The clerk had some difficulty in get
ting the worn-out shoe off the hicll-
ory limb and Diehl observed it, re-
marking:
Jaw, bend yer back, why don't
yer?"
Kinder sticks, don't it?" said the
clerk, pleasantly. With this he bent
his back so successfully that he car
ried away shoe. foot, leg and all
and landed on his back into the bar
gain.
When the boot seller sat up and
saw what he had done he was over
whelmed with horror.
Great goodness" he gasped.
'I didn't m-m-mean to do it."
The genial Mr.. Diehl was purple in
the face. while a negro porter who
had stood by started on the run for
an ambulance. AS soon as Diehl
could spare time from the holding Of
his sides he remarked to the crest
fallen clerk:
That's all right, young feller, but
Y want TO be careful how you start
to pull off my leg
Diehl got his shoes at a rate that
he himself admitted was real rea
sOnable."

SKETCH OF MARCONT,
The Social Side of the Youthful
Electrical Inventor.
Wants to he Agreeable with Every
one, But Scientific Bent later
feres-BeeOgnized by Princes
and SaVants.

One of the best friends of Marconi.
the youthful Italian inventor, recent
ly called him a most unsocial indi-
vidual. The observation is interest
ing, but it is not quite true Mar
conf Is not social in the sense of be-
ing a devotee Of pink teas, recep-
tions and the like, but he is the sort
of man who makes a good compan-
ion To his intimates who know how
to keep within the range of his in
terests.
And his range of interests is not
limited, by any means. There are
few subjects in the line of physical
science or invention which he has
not studied, and he is acquainted
with the work of many inventors in
other subjects. He plays the piano
fairly well, having studied under a
master for several years of his child
hood. He is an all-round athlete.
He speaks several languages. Now,
a man does not have to be all of
these things in order to be a sue
cessful inventor of wireless teIeg-
raphy. He is a great man in more
ways than one.
The fact is, says the Washington
Star, Marconi really wants to be So
ciable toward everyone, but his sci
entific side does not allow him to
carry out his inclinations.
II should like to go away from all
the work and worry, and stay among

cial diversions"
Nlarconi likes American women,
and. judging from the scores of in
yitations which he has received since
his return to this country from lead
ing society women of New York and
other cities American women like
lin.
He is essentially a man of simple
habits He is an aristocrat of the
common people, and, although he has
always had more money than he
cared to spend, he has never changed
his style of living. He lives well. en-
Joys a good dinner, drinks a little
wine and occasionally smokes a
cigarette. The most important thing
in the world to him is his work: the
greatest affection he has for any
person is for his mother. If he had
his own way he would live a quiet
life in some country place where he
could worl- undisturbed by newspa-
per report ars or lion hunters. The
glare of publicity has been on him
so long that it is little wonder that
he wearies of the attention, no mat
ter how kindly meant it may all be.
To strangers, MarcOni is a curious
mixture of reserve. mOdeSty, diff
dence and Indifference, if such a mix
ture of terms may be taken at one
breath. He cares little for the praise
of men, for the sake of the hOneyed
words themselves. He does care for
the good opinions of the men who re-
ally understand his work and for the
recognition of the leading men of
the world.
He was asked one day what his
outlook on life and his work was,
and he replied;
4 feel that I must do the work
that l am in, and that nothing shall
stop me. When the work wins the
commendation Of those who under
| stand it l am pleased. The one thing
/ / do like about the success which
have attained is that it has brought
me into close touch with the great
est living men of the world. That
is worth something"
In that remark Marconi revealed
all of the social ambition he has.
( He wants to know the leading men
/ of the world. and for a man not
vet 2S years Of age one must admit
/ he has made a good beginning. He
Is Intimately acquainted with the
I king and queen of Italy, with King

of the Belgians is an acquaintance,
and scores of princes, dukes, counts,
lords and knights are proud to claim

Kelvin. one of England's most dis
tinguished scientists, takes the high

Dog Rreaks Mans Leg.

David L. Black, of MiddIetown, n.
Y. was the victim of a peculiar ac-
cident. He was standing on the side
walk on Fulton street watching a
horse that was being red to a shop
to be shod. when d small dog began
swapping at the horses heels. Sud
denly the horse kicked with both
feet and sent the dog flying through
the air with almost cannon ball
force. Before Black could get out of
the way the dog struck him on the
leg below the knee, breaking both
bones. The dog soon recovered,
shook himself, and trOtted down the
street, apparently unharmed.

the dooryard of the house where Miss
Hoover resides and fercely attacked
a large shepherd dog. The animals
engaged in life and death struggle
and their snarling and swapping were

man. Finally the dog succeeded in
getting somewhat the better of its an

At this juncture Miss Hoover, in
stead of fleeing to the attic or cellar
for safety, appeared on the scene. She
was armed with a hatchet and, ap-
preaching close TO where the dog and
wolf were battling for life, she raised
the hatchet and dealt the wolf such
a blow that il was killed instantly.

sagacity. Among newspaper men he
is held to be a political prophet with

reputation was earned is decidedly in

Mr.. Payne declined to give out any
estimates until a fortnight before
election. Then the reporters were
called into his room at national Tepub-
lican headquarters, and he read from
slip of paper list of states which,
in his opinion, would give their elec-
tOral votes for Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.
Payne's estimate was printed in the
newspapers of the west, and when the
returns came in it was found that he
had made a mistake in regard to only
one state.
There is, however. another side to
his nature known only to his most in

INSINCERITY OF DEMOCRATS.
Conviction of the Party Before the
American People by Its Utter
UnreIiabiIity.

The democratic members of the
United States senate have been eX-
tremely loud and constant in their
professions of benevolent intentions
toward the Filipinos. They have in
sisted that the administration and
the republican party have been OPP
pressing the Filipinos. They have
denied the right of congress to inn
pose discriminating taxes upon the
products of any part of the national
domain. They have held that the
Filipinos must be either citizens or
subjects. On the theory of citizen
ship they have declaimed against
taxing them without giving them rep
resentation, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
y few days ago the opportunity
was presented to the indignant demo-
cratic senators to prove their be-
nevolence to the Filipinos. \ bill
was to be voted on to encourage Phil
ippine industry by remitting % per
cent. of our tariff on island products,
and to remit certain insular taxes
upon such products when imported
into the United States. Senator For
aker and % other republican sena-
tors thought this concession was not
enough, and that the Filipinos de-
served more liberal treatment. SEN
ator Foraker moved to amend the
bill by making the reduction in our
tariff so per cent.
How then did the democratic sena-
tors live up to their professions of
sympathy and benevolence and make
their deeds square with their words2
