Senator German, of Maryland, in
his campaign for the ratification of the
Poe amendment to the State consti
tuition, is being opposed by Governor
Warfield and also Ex-Governor Piuck
ney White. The Poe amendment dis
franchises the negro, which is Cor
mans main object, but at the same
time it would deprive many illiterate
white people of the right of suffrage
and to this the governor and ex-gov
ernor object, and they have united
with other decent Democrats of Mary
land in the formation of Democratic
Anti-Amendment Association.

THE HARD-LUCK PROPHET.

Waste and loss go on everywhere.
By paying exclusive attention TIC
them, you can arrive at some very
funeral conclusions.
We are even now in the midst of
the season of calamities that will
cost millions of dollars as will be
duly pointed out in the dispatches
from time to time. Never a sum-
mer passes without frightful losses.
The agony beings, in fact, almost
with the new year. If the winter
wheat escapes freezing in February,
it is sure to have chinch bugs in
April. Spring wheat has too much
rain in May or too little in July.
AS for corn floods catch it coming
and frost going, with hot winds be-
tween. Boil weevil eats the cotton.
The Michigan peach crop yearly
bows it's devoted head before some
disaster OF other.
After nature has done her worst,
man takes up the work of devasta-
ton. The trusts rob us blind on
every hand, and we cannot escape
by going into trust because the
big trusts rob the little ones blind,
too. 1t has been demonstrated with
mathematical accuracy over and
over again tn 1t six men will own
the earth in forty-six years, eight
months and nineteen days. On the
twentieth day they Will take it
away somewhere or other and leave
the melancholy statisticians sus-
pended in space.
There is only one help for these
things. The loss by crop. damage
amounts to one hundred and fiji Y
millions yearly. Standard Oil
wealth increased annually in the
same amount. If we can persuade
Mr.. Rockefeller to take the lost
crops for his share we may survive
Otherwise we are irrevocably
d )omed.
There are forty eight other way
Of figuring out an equally inevitable
dom. Or you can pool the forty
eight dooms and prove that every
body was reduced to beggary year
before last.

TALK TO THE MINERS
Given by the President on "a Visit
to the Pennsylvania Coal
Region.
HE rs GIVEN A BIG OVATION
Feature of His Address Is a LETTER
Written Him by Roman
Catholic Priest.

Wilkesbarre Pa, Aug. 11.-Ihp
president Of the United States, who
came here and made an address to the
delegates attending the annual con-
vention OF the Catholic Total Abstin-
ence Union of America and the mem
bers Of the United Mine Workers was
given a most enthusiastic reception.
In fact the entire trip through New
Jersey and Pennsylvania to this city
was q series Of ovations. Every sta
ton along the line Of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad from Jersey City was deco
rated with flags and bunting, and the
crowds at the stations cheered the
president heartily.
Great Ovation in the Valley.
But his greatest ovation was in the
Wyoming Valley, where he spent four
very busy hours. The entire valley,
from Shickshinny to Pittston, took q
holiday to do honor to the president
Wiikesbarre was dressed for the occa-
sion. There was scarcely building in
the business portion Of the city or a
house along the route over which the
president drove that did not display
the national colors. The greatest
crowd that the municipality ever had
within its confines was in the city, and
it is estimated that the visitors num-
bered upwards Of 100000.
Takes a Drive ABOUT the City.
The president arrived at 3 p. N. and
was driven directly to the speakers
stand on the river common. Besides
the president those who spoke were
Cardinal Gibbons, Mayor Kirkendall
(of this city, John Mitchell president
Of the miners union). and Rev. ]. J.
Curran (of this city,, district presi-
dent of the Catholic Total Abstinence
union. Cardinal Gibbons and Mitchell,
as we'll as Mayor Weaver, Of Phila-
deiphia, but was on the speakers
platform. but did not speak, were CIV
en- enthusiastic greetings. After the
exercises on the river common had
ended, the president was driven about
the city, then to the Wyoming monu-
meut, and from there to Pittston, about
eleven miles north Of here, where he
boarded his special train and left for
ChautauQua at T:20 p. III.

When Golmar Bros. Shows were
exhibiting through the eastern
states last summer the following
was actually heard in the big tent:
A typical looking old New England
couple, who, after seeing the
wonders in the menagerie tent,
wandered into the big main circus
tent. AS soon as the old man caught
sight of the curbed or wooden rings
he exclaimed, "Well I'll be durne
if them er circus rings hain't made
NV rubber!" They hain't nuther,
r piled the old lady in an instant,
the.n's just the same kind Nv rings
as alus only they've got wooden
fences round 'em." Just about that
time the old man discovere that
they we're standingon the hippo
drome track, nu1ged the old lady
and said, come on Mandy let's gita
seat, dunt yer see we're standing on
the race course" "Ther yew go
agin. alus calm things by thier
wrong names, an Their right behind
yer STAINS Joel and Hannah Perkins
and if they heard what yer sed
they'd go an tattle it all round tn
neighborhood' replied the old lady.
"Thet's what they call it at tn
county fair" said the old man.
''Silas JASON" replied the old lady,
''yere hain't ter tn county fair now,
we're at Golmar Bros. circus an
dun't forget to remember that this
ere rudway is what the showmen
call the h1ppopotamus track" The
old couple realized that big organ
lzation like Golmar Bros would
not be complete without the hip
podrome races. You will have
good opportunity to see existing,

and many other trials of speed by

LETTER FROM A PRIEST
Tells OF the Effect OF High Wages
and Short Hours.

Tells OF the Effect OF High Wages
and Short Hours.
The presidents address was a
homely talk to the working people. He
said that if the welfare of the wage
worker and farmer can be assured the
rest of the people will be all right;
that, however I'VE must never forget
that the chief factor in securing the
welfare alike of wage-worker and Of
farmer, as of everybody else, must be
the man HIMSELF" that ''the only eff
fective way to help anybody is to help
him help himself. He said q man
was totally unfit to take part in gov
erning others unless he could first gov
ern himself, and then read a letter
which he said was from a Roman
Catholic priest whom he knew to be
a staunch friend of the laboring man.
promising that the letter: contained
statements that would be unpalatable
but that it was a good thing to hear
unpalatable things from a true friend
The letter said:
Il would humbly recommend that
you lend your entire weight to the
cause which the Catholic Total Alb
stinence Union Of America represents,
and especially so in it's relation to the
working classes Of this country, fol-
whom it is doing so much good.
There is one discouraging
feature connected with the upward
tendency of the wage scale among the
workmen OF this country. The higher
the wages, the more money they spend
ia saloons. The shorter the hours, the
more they are inclined to absent
themselves from home. An apparen.
disregard for family ties is growing
among the poorer classes which Will
eventually lead to disregard for the
blessings our country affords them"

AS was predicted some weeks ago
when Prof. Showalter was removed
from the superintendency of the
GAINESVILLE School for the Blind.
Harvey Clark, who was at that
time member of the state board
OF control has been appointed to fill
the vacancy. Mr.. Clark was &C.
cused by Prof. Showalter of max
ing troubles at the GAINESVILLE sch oil
for the sole purpose OF busting
Prof Showalter from the position
SO that Clark, himself, might obtain
it. The appointment of Mr. Clark
lends considerable color to Prof.
Showalter's statement. Mr.. Clark
is, and always has been an en-
thusiastic supporter of Gov. La
Toilette. Some one had to give up
his place on the state board of con.
troll to make room for the feminine
member provided by the last legis-
lature. What to do with the ousted
member was a problem that must be
solved. Mr.. Clark solved it by sig
nifty Wi lingness to succ 9ed Prof.
ShOwalter in the james vile school
The position is one he has long
coveted. He tried to get it when
Governor La Toilette was serving
Lis first term and has had an eve
on it ever since. This is not be-
cause Mr.. Clark has any special
qualifications for such a position.
By profession he is an attorney but
he has always been too busy re-
forming politics and looking for.an
easy job to spend much time build
ing up a practice. The point to all
that is that there is very little diff
ference between a so called reform
administration of public affairs and
and administration by officials elect
ed on strict party lines.
