ABOUT THE ELECTION.

1t must be plain to every observer
that the practice of buying votes has
increased to immense proportions I'M
der a law that was passed primarily
for the purpose of making bribery at
elections impossible. Whatever other
merits the present ballot law may DOS
sess it certainly does not prevent brib-
cry, and as it failed in the particular
purpose for which it was intended
there is little use to retain it.
Further, if surrounding the ballot
with all possible secrecy only serves
to increase the briber's opportunity
and the fee of the bribed, would it not
be well to go back step or two and
by making voting more open give the
laws against bribery better chance
to become Operative?-Cecil Demo
crat
Go ahead, brother Democrat, you
are on the popular side of timely
issue.
1t is gratifying to those who oppos-
ed the passage of the present incubus
of an Election Law, to see at least one
of the Democratic newspapers of the
State criticise the operation of the
law.
Can it.be possibleiwe are to have
some amendment made to the present
law, suggested by the Democratic
Bosses; or worse still another law die
tated by the same Bosses.
The fight for the United States Sen
atorship is becoming more interest
ing, as new aspirants are entering the
field, and no one can foresee what
combinations may be made against
Mr.. Rayner
OF one thing we are certain, the
more time they spend eIecting a Sen
ator, the less time they will haye to
cOncoct another and more Infamous
election law.

his leadership will nevertheless feel a
certain pleasure in the good shown.
that he has made on the other side.
Most of US who have been opposed to
free silver are as much opposed to it
as ever, and we can never think of a
man carried away by enthusiasm for
that issue as a statesman of the first
magnitude. But fair-minded observ-
ers have recognized his admirable
traits. He is a splendid physical
type, an orator, keen and logical
disputant, and an exemplar of all the
personal virtues. We hope that his
visit to foreign lands will refresh him
in mind and body, and that he will
return with the enlarged horizon and
broadened views which come from
the agreeable contact and enlighten-
ing observation of travel.-Bdltimore

BURNED TO DEATH.
Aged Woman From Near Hutton Meets
Death at URiontown.

Aged Woman From Near Hutton Meet.
Death at URiontown.
Mrs. LYDIA Reckard, a washerwom-
an, was burned to death in her home
in Mcdowell Row East Main street
Uniontown, Pa, Monday night, aLN
her charred trunk found in the cellar
of the house by fireman after the
flames had entirely destroyed the
building. She was &c years old.
Mrs. Reckard had performed big
days washing, and after hanging the
clothes before an open CRATE to dry, it
is presumed by the neighbors that
she retired about nine o'clock Short
ly before midnight the house was dis
covered on fire.
At O'Clock, when the flames were
entirely extinguished, George Mat
thews, a farmer, entered the cellar
with lantern. In cropping about his
hand encountered bunch of hair and
upon investigation it proved to be
the woman's head. Her arms and
lower limbs had been entirely CON
sumed and about all that remained
was black and charredframe. The
face was beyond recognition What
remained of the unfortunate woman
was loaded upon the hose wagon and
carried to the morgue.
Mrs. Reckard left Hutton about
seven weeks ago and went to Union
town. She was hard working WON
an and every day she was busy at
the wash tub. She was a widow. A
son and daughter survive her at Cor

POLITICAL TRICKERY.

Under the above heading, COlLierS
Weekly, referring to Senator Cor.
mans attitude on the race issue,
says;
Senator Germans effort to bring
race antagonism into the field of ma
tional politics is not for the purpose
of making it prominent in the cam
paign of 1904. Any politician knows
that on such an issue it would be the
Solid North against the Solid South
and the Democratic party would be
beaten to insensibility. Prejudice
would take the place of reason, and
the old hostility, which inflicted so
much hardship on the South would
vote against her above Mason and
DiXon's line. Mr.. Germans object in
blowing the embers is more imme-
date. He strengthens himself with
Southern Delegations, and he adds to
the Presidents difficulties. Possibly
he pleases certain Republican Sena-
| tors. If he secures the nomination.
he will never press that issue to the
front. He is using it now not as a
statesman but as a politician, not be-
cause he seeks the general good, but
because it fits the political game.
Mr.. Roosevelt was unfortunate in the
Crum appointment and the Washing
ton dinner. Any man who throws
himself against the color line will
make that line firmer, damage him
self, and aggravate the Southern task
AS the South, black and white, in
creases in industry and education, the
negroes must receive their share of
the general welfare. They will reap
benefit from every progress made
/ by their own people, and from every
progress made by the whites as well.
Advancement the South will make
surely, but it must be allowed to
make it without continual irritation
from the people who, remote from
experience, wish to discuss suffrage,
amendments, human brotherhood,
and the door of hope If Mr.. Roose-
welt failed to understand these truths
when he received the Presidency. he
probably understands them now. If
he wishes to confirm the negro vote
i'll the North, he has accomplished
that move. He and his party are
likely to let the subject alone from
from this time forth. Mr.. German
and his party would do well to follow
their example. Quiet sympathy is
what the question needs, and the
cOuntry's stake in its solution is so
great that politicians who draw hos
tile lines for their private ends de-
serve to suffer. Mr.. Germans influ-
ence in politics has never been for
good"

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
mcnt you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

GOOD WORK AT DEER PARK.

1t was a fortunate day for Deer
Park when the Deer Park Village I'M
provement Society came into exist
ence. The town has changed for the
better and has received benefits in
various ways since the society took
hold of municipal affairs.
The village schoolhouse grounds
needed attention, but no one seemed
willing to take the initiative. The
school building, exterior and within,
required the services of the painter
and finally the Village Improvement
Society went to work.

band. it fills US with bliss. Hand up
your old problem and get us another
while we scOot out the answer.
May is twenty-four years old. Now
we are not told whether she is bru
nette OF blonde, married or single,
wears a pOmpadOur or eats onions.
! AS the color of her hair is to her APP
petite SO is a pint of tar to the trunk
of an elephant. From which it follows
that if Mary is twenty-four years old,
she will soon be forty unless some
thing stops her clock. She is now
twice as old as Ann was, from which
we learn that Ann was, but what she
was is very much in the soup. She
may have been burglar, or she may
| have been one end of pair of twins.
She may have been and she may not
now be. Let us be kind to her men,
DRY whether she is or is not, for Ann
must have been somebody's darling.
Think of the mother who nursed her
thru the billycafiip and the whoop-
ing cough, who kissed her little pink
toes and subsequently swatted her
with the family shingle.
How old is Ann? Let the good old
sawbuck represent the unknown
quantity in Mary and the railroad Y
the unknown quantity in Ann. And
they represent a heap. The unknown
| quantity in any young man or woman
is generally more than any y or Y
can figure out. But if X represents
one thing in Mary and the same thing
in Ann, then since it is an axiom that
equals are equal, it follows that both
these girls are equal to something or
other and no man on earth can tell
what that something is. For if Mary
is twenty-four years old and is twice
as old as Ann was, then Ann was
twelve sure and don't let that slip. She
was twelve years old when Mary was
as old a. Ann. is now. Dadgum. How
old is Ann now. You see if Ann was
Y years old, then X crucifed by Z
equals the cross between IA Maltese
cat and a crocodile. Therefore she
might have been any old age. She
yes, it all comes to us now. Take it
hot from our brain cells. This is an
African problem. 1t relates to Rider
Haggard's She" Why this is a
fraud. That old girl had lived ten
thousand years when the pyramids
were built; she was fashioned out of a
COB of protoplasm as speculation
ages before Adam made his debut in
Eden.
Now stand still long enough to al
low us to deduce the answer Mary is
now twice as old as Ann was Then
one-half of twenty-four, or twelve, is
the age of Ann was twelve years ago
when Mary was as old as Ann is now
Twelve years ago May was twelve
years old If she was then as old as
Ann is now. and Ann was only twelve
years old then, and is twelve years
old now, then that girl has not had a
birthday in twelve years. So she is
ither dead, or deaf, or DUN, band in
any case we beg to say thay the man
who got up this problem will have to
carry it into the next world with him,
and we hope he will go soon for he is
dangerous man to turn loose on a
community. Our solution is that
twelve years ago Ann was twelve
years old and limb fell on her
and she stopped getting any older.

"A CAT has nine lives" You may
kill him with club, yet he will fly
at you and scratch your face. You
may shoot him and carry the carcass
to the bone yard, but when you arrive
at home, he will be found on the
doorstep blinking at you. You may
drown him in the mill pond, but be
fore you can turn round, he may be
seen scampering across the field to
beat you home. The meaner he is
the harder he is to be gotten rid of.
Tom johnson promi Ses to rival the
cat. Having been dubbed to death
with the votes of the people, he
promises to keep right on living and
scratching his own mothers face.
Having been shot to death with the
arrows of public opinion, he threatens
to perch on the Democratic doorstep,
and invite another vollev. Having
been drowned in sea of censure, he
promises to come to land and force
it to bear the burden of his continued
existence as well as all the tax.
There is one last means that the ex-
terminators of cats always tries when
all others fail they hang them. In
Toms case, the Democrats have only
to give him the rope; he will finally
hang himself.
