Democrats and Issues.

There are some Democrats who
are sorely disappointed because the
new libel law, it is said, will not
be an issue in the next State cam
paign. 1t is reported that the
leaders will recommend that the
convention do not mention the law
and that the Republican party as q
whole and not individuals be de-
nounced and arranged and con-
demned.
1t is a sort of shame to deprive
these worthy citizens of an issue
with which they had expected to
make great deal of noise, and
some of them are already shouting
that Quayism is becoming apparent
in the management of the party.
Is it any wonder that the Demo-
cratic party depicted as a donkey,
when its spokesmen make such as
sertions? If such assertions be
true where is the Democratic party
in this State? And the curious
part of it is that they come from
Democrats who have arrayed them
selves against their party and are
fighting it tooth and nail.
If the Democrats who have de-
serted their party after reviling it
want the libel law to be an issue
even though the State Convention
make no mention of it, let them
adopt it as their own. Conven-
tions make platforms, but the
battle must be fought by news
papers and orators. They could
then, probably, find a few others
who have no regard for party regu-
larity. And yet it is possible
that the Democratic party, unin-
fiuenced by Senator Quay, will not
mention the lible bill simply be-
cause it is not an issue. There is
no election for Legislature this
year. No official who can con-
troll or direct legislation will be
chosen. Harrisburg Telegraph.

VIM Kirmse, a member of the bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly i'll Thursday night with cramps
and a kind of cholera. His case was SO
severe that he had to have the members

ford was called and consulted. He told
them he had medicine in the form of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr.
hoea Remedy that he thought would help
him out and accordingly several doses
were administered with the result that
the fellow was able to be around next
day. The incident speaks quite highly

The Standard of Pronunciation in English


"The truth is that the pronunciation
of every dictionary" says Prof. Thomas
r. Lounsbury in Harper's Magazine for
September, expresses the preferences
and prejudices of the particular person or
persons who have been concerned in its
compilation. At best it represents the
taste of select coterie to whose members
the accidents of birth and training and
circumstance have made familiar certain
ways of pronouncing words. There is,
consequently, never any need of paying
unqestioning obedience to any of its de-
cisious. 1t is an authority of more or
less value; it is never final authority.
On this matter having been concerned to
some extent iu the preparation of die
tionaries, speak from the point of view
of personal experience. | have protested
to no purpose against the authorization
of certain pronunciations. | have sue
ceeded in getting some sanctioned which
had not previously been recognized as
allowable. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the knowledge of these | shall take
precious good care to keep to myself
But where did | get any authority
either in the way of protest or advocacy,
over thousands and thousands of other
English speakers, to decide now any par
ticular word should be pronounced.
From no quarter could it come, for in
none did it exist. The simple explana-
ton of the matter is that it was my for
fortue to be in position where my per-
sonal preferences met with certain de-
gree of consideration.
"In this matter the proper attitude for
every educated man to take is that once ex-
emphfed by DIR. Bacon, for long while
the pastor of Center Church, New
Haven. He was assailed for his pro-
nunciation of a certain word. 1t was
not according to Webster, he was told.
The clergyman was personally acquainted
with the man held up to him as guide,
and very evidently had an opinion of
his own as to the respect due to him as
an authority. At all events, the Doctor
showed no disposition to submit to the
correction. 'What right has Webster
growled he, TO dictate my pronunciation?
He is one of my parishioners, and he
ought to get his pronunciation from me,
and not | from him ,"

The oliver Cromwell Entertainment.

The Oliver Cromwell Entertainment.
One of the finest entertainments ever
given in Emporium will undoubtedly be
the ''Story of the English Reformation
or Puritan VS.. Cavalier" showing the
great work accomplished in England un-
der Oliver Cromwell. A capable COM
mittee of the Presbyterian Church, under
the auspices of which this entertainment
is to be given, has been hard at work
getting this gigantic undertaking in proper
shape. The best talent in the town has
been secured. Music is one of the lead
ing features of the entertainment and
will consist of choice solos, grand choruses
and instrumental numbers. The dialogues
and the gorgeous costumes are historically
correct, making the entertainment educa-
tionally valuable.
Mrs. II. 4. Monroe, the originator and
lecturer of the production, is a highly
cultivated woman, and has travelled much
abroad, making research for her enter
tainments. She has visited the largest
libraries and art galleries in the world and
made them contribute to her work. Her
lecture on the Oliver Cromwell has
been pronounced by competent critics a
literary gem. 1t was prepared in the
British Museum in London, where Mrs.
Monroe had access to many of the original
documents.
Her stereopticon views illustrating, are
the finest which can be procured along
this line of work, many OF them being the
only copies of great paintings found in
palaces in England. History, poetry and
painting contribute to the interest of this
great historical production, and the pomp
and strength of marching bands of sym
bolically dressed men and women, give
life and character to the unfolding of the
story.
Miss S. Ethel Brown, one of Mrs.
Monroe's assistants, will have charge of
the preparing of the entertainment. She
is expected to arrive on Tuesday, Sept.
1st, and will hold the first rehearsal that
evening.
The entertainment Will be given in the
opera house, on Monday and Tuesday
evenings, Sept. IA and Is.

On Wasting The Moral Capital of the
Community


In the Outlook last week there is an
editorial entitled "An Old Lesson"
from which we quote paragraph. 1t
states in a singularly strong and clear
way truth that can always be listen
ed to with profit 1t will receive little
or no heed from silly tale-bearers or
from malicious defamers; we have gone
shopping for button holes too often to
expect that. But thoughtful and we'll
meaning people are often betrayed in
to accepting and repeating rumors af-
fecting the characters of others, when
they really know nothing as to the
truth of these rumors. BY this class
the paragraph will be received as a
welcome admonition. 1t is as follows:
"No story of any kind against man
or woman which is being hawked
about through small communities or
in larger circles in larger communi-
ties, ought ever to be passed on except
with full sense of responsibility.
That is to say, every man who repeats
q story affecting another PERSONS char
acter ought to understand that by
that repetition he has made himself
responsible for the charge. Instead of
pulling people down morally and
breaking their influence, it is every
mans duty to build them up and to
conserve their influence. There is no
more heinous offense against COM
munity than the wasting of it's moral
capital; and this is precisely what hap
pens when the reputation of a good
wan or moman is assailed. To attack
such reputation, to smirch it, or be-
little it, is not only a grave offense
against the person, but is a waste of
the moral capital of the community in
which that person lives.n

NEARLY WRECKED.
Challenger, Defender and Other Yachts
in Brief but Great Danger.

New York, Aug. Pa terrible north
west wind and electrical storm struck
Sandy Hook shortly after 5 o'clock,
today, the Shamrock III and /, Re
lance. and a fleet of q half dozen
yachts, including the Erin, c. Oliver
IsIius' Sunbeam and the Herreschoff' s
Roamer, We're in great danger for a
time. The yacht Cruizer breaking
from her anchorage, was blown vio-
Iently against a coal scoW, and carried
the scow before it. 1t seemed for Il
time that the two boats would crash
into Shamrock III, which lay almost
in the path of the gale, not 100 yards
away.
The Roamer, which was dangerously
near the Shamrocks, began to drag her
anchors and despite efforts to hold her,
drifted down rapidly. Suddenly she
swung against the Sunbeam and thus
getting a chance to start her engines,
managed to get away from the danger
line. The Sunbeam, too, as the bloW
increased later, again and again, began
to drag and in a moment went with a
crash against the scoW, which also
commenced to drift and for moment
overwhelmed. Captain Barr on the
Sunbeam yelled to the Shamrock
watch
"If we can't hold you'd better pull
up ana drift from US"
This the yacht proceeded to do. but
a lull in the wind aided the Sunbeam
to hold for While and the wind began
to decrease
Two steam yachts, the Giralda and
the Alliea, anchored further out in the
harbor, We're driven from their anchor
age and came into bow and stern COLI
sion. The boWsprit of one crashed
through the stern of the other and the
two thus locked drifted before the
wind dangerously near to the chal-
lenger The tug Cruizer saved them,
pulling them apart and away from the
other boats.
Reliance lay in a position more out
of danger. The moorings of sham
rock III and Reliance held fast, though
the wind threw their bows around into
the face of the gale violently and they
tu%ged at their cables. The wind
reached velocity Of nearly 40 knots.
In half an hour after the storm
broke in it,. fury. the clouds cleared
away from a sky brilliantly illuminate
cd by the strong sun and the wind
died out as rapidly rs it had come.

couraging those I'M american doctrines
which are the outgrowth of despotc Eu-
fOpean governments.

causes him to LOOK on every man as his
foe whose charaeker is so black that he
