OUTLOOK FOR DEMOCRACY.

In commenting on the Demo-
cratic outlook. the Patriot of Harris
burg says editorially
The Democratic prospects for
electing President and securing
the control Of Congress next year
are Frightening every day. The
Republicans have no candidate for
President except Mr.. Roosevelt,
and his strength is waning, not only
with the leaders of his party, but,
rightly and wrongly, with the rank
I'd file. Moreover, the policies OF
c Republican party have not the
old on public esteem that they had
=. short time ago. and are steadily
)sing ground. AS the Republican
t'arty claims credit for the un-
exampled industrial activity which
started shortly before the outbreak
of the war with Spain, and reached
its zenith about two years ago, it
must logically bear the responsible
lity for the termination of the so.
called prosperity, which was really
initiation and speculation whose re-
action has left hundreds of thou
sands of people worse off than they
were before, and the end of which
is not yet in sight. People have
learned and are learning that the
prohibitive tariff which prompted
the formation of gigantic trusts,
and wild aud senseless initiation and
speculation which has brought ruin
to countless thousands, is not the
blessing they supposed it was; the
reckoning will come at the polls
next November. If the Democrats
in Congress during the extra ses-
sion and the regular session that
is to begin in December, are guild
ed by wisdom and patriotism and if
the National Democratic Conven-
ton chooses the right candidate for
President he will be elected with a
Democratic majority in the House
OF Representatives with fair pros
pect that Democratic Legislatures
in various states will be chosen in
suring the election of Democratic
Senators in 1905.
There are at present i'll the United
States Senate ffty.seven Republi-
cans and thirty-three Democrats.
The Legislatures elected on the
third of this month in Ohio and
Maryland, will each elect a Senator.
In Ohio Mr.. Hanna will undoubt-
edly be elected. In Maryland the
Democrats will gain a Senator.
The Legislatures to be chosen next
year will elect successors to the fol-
lowing United States Senators,
whose terms expire March 3, 1905:
Aldrich, of Rhode Island Ball, OF
Delaware Bard. of California
Bate, Of Tennessee Beveridge, of
Indiana Burrows, of Michigan
Clapp, of Minnesota Clarke, OF
Wyoming; Cockrell, of Missouri

WORLDS Fair Information Bure au.

The Worlds Fair, St. Louis,
which will ocen April goth, and
close December Ist, 1904, covers
an area of LAO acres. What this
means in magnitude OF grounds is
best shown by comparison. The
Worlds Columbian Exposition. at
Chicago, embraced 653 acres. The
Exposition of 1900, at Paris, oc-
cupied $50 acres; the Pan-American
at Buffalo had 800 acres; the Cen.
tennial at Philadelphia, 236 acres,
and the Trans Mississippi, at
Omaha, $50. There is embraced
within the limits of the World $
Fair OF 1904, at ST. Louis, acreage
almost equaling the aggregate of
the Columbian Exposition. the Cen
tennial, the Pan-American and the
Trans Mississippi.
A recent statement of the Director
of Works Of the Worlds Fair, an
nounces that OIL September goth,
the Exposition Exhibit buildings,
taken as whole, were 50 per cent.
completed, and the Exhibit build
ings Of the Columbian Exposition
at Chicago, at the corresponding
period before the opening of that
exposition, were but al per cent.
completed; in addition to which are
the permanent granite buildings in
the Washington University group,
Zone of which is used as the Ad-
ministration Building } of these
seven are completed and the other
four nearly so.
Some of the State Buildings are
now nearly completed, and many
others are in various stages of COM
pletion. Some of the foreign build
ings are completed, aud many
others are in course OF construction.
The Concession Buildings, or those
to be erected on the Pike" are in
various stages of construction.
Numerous temporary hotels are
being constructed in close proximity
to the Worlds Fair grounds, and a
number of permanent modern hotels
are being erected in the heart OF
the city.
1t is contemplated that at the
opening OF the Fair. St. Louis will
be fully able to house all visitors
who may come. The Worlds Fair
officials, up to the present time,
have had rendered to them room
ing accommodations for $50, 900
people, and by the time the Fair
opens, this list will undoubtedly be
increased to 200, 900. Exhibits are
now being received on the grounds,
and many shipments have already
come in from abroad.
St. Louis Worlds Fair Intorma-
tion Bureaus have been established
at 387 Broadway, New York City,
i'll charge of Mr.. H. B. Mcclellan,
and in Boston at I76 Washington
Street, in charge of Mr.. J. D. Nc
Beath, where information will be
cheerfully furnished.

place of Mr.. McComas, a majority
in the Senate. This is entirely with
in the reach of possibility I; all de-
pends upon the patriotism and wis
dom of the Democrats in and out
OF Congress, between now and the
election next year.
The Republican policy has
wrought out its own condemnation
and nothing but Democratic blund-
ering and the sel6shness of rival
leaders, can prevent a sweeping
Democratic victory next year.

Crime Increasing With Population.

Centralia has for years. led all
other sections of the county in fur
nishing cases for criminal court.
Berwick, however, since its rapid
increase in population, and the
consequent influx of a foreign
element, is now a good second, and
the list that she will send to the
December term already numbers six.
The last offender to the law is
Charles Rick, who was brought to
Jail on Monday. His crime is that
of theft of an overcoat from the
Berwick Store Company, His only
excuse when arraigned before Squire
Kitchen was. that he thought the
coat, he having picked it up off the
floor, had been dropped or lost by
a drunken man. He was unable
to furnish bail, hence his incarcera-
ton.

EVERYTHING Is NEW.

One merit of Lyman H. Howe's S
moving picture exhibitions is that
he never duplicates pictures from
one season to the other. This year S
entertainment is entirely new,
showing pictures of the most recent
events in all parts of the world,
such as the recent visit of the King
OF England to France. Mr.. Howe
secures the best products of the
best cameras from all parts of the
world. He spares no expense in
getting up his series of pictures and
the public gets the benefit. The
exhibition will be seen in the Opera
House on November 27. ct

day took no action upon the plan for a
readjustment of the company's finances,
and the issuing of a new mortgage,
which was prepared and presented at
the meeting by the special committee,
Of which Joseph Wharton is chairman.
The only information given out concern
ing the plan was an official statement
that the committee had reported favor
ably TO the board, but that final action
on the report and the plan had been
referred until a future meeting-
The plan as submitted by the commit

refunding the present bonded indebted

reducing the interest charges, and tc

likely TO be made for some time. at least
not until the financial situation is in a
much healthier condition.

INSTRUCTIONS TO CoNsULS
Some Reports Already at Hand From
Agents in Canada-Stringent Regu-
latiOns Regarding Shipments.

Before this month ends the restric-
tions of the pure food law of March 8.
1908. will be enforced on shipments of
provisions to the United States from all
parts OF the world. The first reports

other fish products to New York. and
similar reports were received from
American representatives in other Can
adian provinces.

July 1, but the Treasury Department and
Department of Agriculture did not de-
sire to interfere with shipments Of food
stuffs which were on the sea at The
time and will not take action under the
law until consuls in all parts of the
world have received the blanks neces-
sary to make reports on provisions, aud
have become familiar with the new act.
No returns have been made as yet by
