partly destroyed by FIRE early last Friday
morning. The fire originated in that part
occupied as a restaurant by Harvey Spring
er, and when discovered the blaze was
pouring out of the large front window.
At once the whole building seemed DOOM
ed, but was saved through the heroic eff
orts of our volunteer firemen. Penn's
Grove fire Company was sent for and re-
sponded with their chemical engine, but
the fire was under control when they
arrived. The whole interior of the res.
taurant with contents and fixtures was
burned. Cawley & Green's grocery stock
was damaged by smoke and water. A
large space of tile second floor burned
thru and the furniture and carpets i'll the
lodge room on the third floor ruined.
The exterior of the building is also great
Nv charred and smoked. The hall, a large
affair, located i'll the centre of the town
has been on fire several times, and should
it burn, adjoining properties would ne
cessarily fall a prey to the flames. The

A Battle iost-A War But Begun
WI. Bryan

To the Readers of The CommOner:
The election of 1908 is over and the
returns disclose a Signal victory for our
opponents, but the principles for which
our party stands, the policies for which
u party contends-these are not dead.
A good proposition is not made bad by
rejection at the polls; a needed reform
is not made unnecessary by an adverse
vote. The legislation asked for by the
democratic party in its last national
platform was not of a temporary char
acter-it was legislation which will be
of permanent advantage when it is Sc
cured.
Does anyone believe that the Ameri.
can people will permanently permit Sc
crecy as to campaign contributions?
Does any one believe that the American
people will permanently permit the will
of the voters to lie thwarted, al it is
now, by the election of senators through
the legislatures? Does anyone believe
that the trusts will be permitted to per-
manently exploit the massesI Does
| anyone believe that the consumer will
| permanently permit the tariff to- be
written by the beneficiares of that tar
iff? Does anyone believe thai the public
will permanently tolerate estrangement
between labor and capital? Does any
one believe that the fifteen millions of
depositors will forever permit theirsav-
ngs to be jeapordized as at present? Does
anyone believe that the extravaganza OF
the government will go on forever un-
checked? Does anyone believe that our
republic will permanently consent to a
colonial policy with the humiliation and
financial burdens? There must be a
party representing ~theYeople's protest
against wrong i'll high pieces, against
corruptions in politics and against op-
preston of the struggling masses; and
the democratic party must continue its
fight OF dissolve. 1t could not Sist as
a plutocratic party.
During the last twelve years til. de-
m~ocratic party las accomplished ISre
out of power than the republican pay
has accomplished in office, and this Isl
t sufficient reward for those who hgL

When Hannibal Hamlin was speaker

away back in the forties of the last
century, there was in that body a GER
tain gentleman of faultlesS attire,
pleasing manners, good address and
some reputation, but he had n foible.
His hair was very thin, and he was
highly sensitive in regard to it.
To hide his approaching badness he
had a habit Of carefully stroking with
bandoline or other preparation each
particular hair in its place. One day
while in the chair as speaker Mr.. Ham
lin, in the innocence of a good and
joke loving nature, sent for this gen
tleman and, looking fxedly at his
smooth and polished pate, said with a
chuckle:
"Blank, old fellow, l, Just wanted to
tell you that you've got one Of the
hairs of your head crossed over the
other"
"You insult me, sir! You insult me-"

and altogether unnecessary indigna-
