THE SOCIALIST PARTY.


The Socialist party is parts of Marx
and Engels, founded upon the principle
Of ''The Greatest Good to the Greatest
Number" How just and equible that
principle Is. 1t is so just and tone and
smacks SO much of divine rights, that
no government should ovedride its
principle, or trample it underfoot.
Great Socialistic party! How have
we nurtured thee as mother presses
her child to her bosom, and how wilt
then carry the common people through
the fierce political struggle as in other
struggles as no other party has ever
been promised. The principles have
been assailed, but never destroyed.
. Socialism is like gold: it shines
brighter by collision. It is the principle
of the Socialistic party to uplift the
fallen; protect the weak against the
strong: to uplift the many, and not to
trod the few underfoot. 1t is the party
of the people, for the people, and by
the people. Great is thy name
As a friend of nations, it is booming
up today as the rock of Gibraltar of
the common people. who, If history is
worth any thing to me, it teaches that,
in all ages, that the common people,
and not the millionaire is the friend
of government. 1t is the common people
who produce the wealth of nations; it
is they who convert the raw material
into finished product, and render its
material fit for the use of man. It is
the party that favors the development
of the farm; that favors he equal OPP
portunity Of all, and not cramp the
masses by the iron head of capitalism
It's principal is the golden rule: the
capitalists is the rule of gold.
Anarchy is no law. Socialism is all
law. and that vestal in all the people.

NAPOLEON and Waterloo.

There is nothing in the result Of the
Waterloo campaign to show any de.
cline in Napoleon's powers of mind.
The plan of the campaign as laid down
by the emperor was a most brilliant
one, and had 1t not rained on the night
Of the 18th of June Napoleon would in
all likelihood have kept his throne.
Had it not rained and made the land
miry he would have had his artillery
in position four hours before he actual
ly did. and Wellington would have
been disposed of long before Blucher's
arrival. Even as it was, the Iron Duke
was pretty well used up when the
Prussian came up on his left. Napo-
Icons genius never shone more bril-
liantly than 1t did in his last campaign.
He was defeated by the elements and

BROTHER ELKS
PLAY FINE BALL

Danville lodge, No. 754, b. p. o.
Elks, yesterday entertained about fifty
of the members of SEamokin lodge at
a picnic and base ball game at De-
Wits park. The Shamokin brethren
came over on the Reading, making the
trip from West Milton here in speci-
al train.
Almost the entire membership of
Danville lodge turned out to help en-
tertain the Shamokin visitors, and
that the occasion was most enjoyable
goes without saying.
The feature of the days sport was a
base ball game between the teams rep
resenting the two lodges, which was
played at O'Clock. The game was a
sizzler from the standpoint of both
spectators and players.
1t was originally intended to play a
full nine innings game, but the ex-
treme heat caused number of the
players to play out at the end of the,
sixth with the score at 0 to in DAN
ville's favor. Both sides were willing
to let it go at that.
The Shamokin team, which is under
the capable management of Gilbert
Kulp, had very strong lineup, but
were unable to cope with the locals.
In the field the Shamokin team did
the best work, but at the bat Danville
excelled.
The Shamokin players were unable
to solve the mystic curves of Pitcher
Rebman and strike outs figure as half
of Danville's put outs. He was ably
backed up by John Curry behind the
bat.
Pitcher Rebman, in fact, was sever
al times compelled to fan the side in
order to get the innings over. He'com-
planned bitterly at the lack of support
he was given by the men back Of him.
The Danville team appeared in
brand new uniforms, purchased especi-
ally for the occasion. and made a very
natty appearance.

A SERIOUS DINER.
The Way the Great Emperor Charles
v. Ate His Meals.


The diary Z German gentleman,
Bartholomew Sastrow. who lived In
the time of the Emperor Charles ".
gives us a good idea of the gastronom-
ic customs of those times. Sastrow's
description of the table habits of the
greatest ruler in his day is very inter
esting.
Young princes and counts served the
repast. There were Invariably four
courses of six dishes. The emperor
had no one to carve for him. He be-
gan by cutting his bread In pieces
large enough for one mouthful, then
attacked his plate. He often used his
fingers while he held the plate under
his chin with the other hand.
When he felt thirsty he made sign
to the doctor" standing by the table;
then they went to the sideboard for
two silver fiagons and filed a goblet
which held about measure and a
half. The emperor drained 1t to the
last drop, practically at one draft.
During the meal he never uttered a
syllable, scarcely smiled at the most
amusing sallies of the testers behind
his chair, finally picked his teeth with
quills and, after washing his hands,
retired to window recess, where any
body could approach him With petit
ton.

CORN IS KING
IN AMERICA

Business is waiting on the corn crop,
now in the making, and at critical
period. If the weather predictions of
this week are fulfilled it will unques
tionably put the crop in many states
in such shape that later drouth can
not materially affect it, as the heat
and moisture promised the next seven
days are just about what the growing
corn needs. A good corn crop means
more to the nation than wheat fail
-ure, as ON corn depends cattle and
meat products of all kinds, and the
affecting of all kinds of business, rail-
road, etc. There is an indicated yield
of 3, 257, 900, 900 bushels, and that means
the farmers are secure in their power
to maintain their live stock. 1t means
the addition of 1000, 900, 900 bushels
to the railway freight of the country,
and is guarantee of fairly good con-
ditions for other crops. a season
which yields good corn crop cannot
do i'll by other crops which mature as
late as that in the season. Large acre
age is still further insurance of a
good outcome. This year the area
planted was ia, O83, 900 acres. No
local damage can cripple the prospects
extensively, so widely different are
the climatic conditions on which this
harvest rests. Farther South acreage
has extended because of the boil weevil
in cotton and farther North because of
the need for stock feeding in winter,
An increase of over 5000, 600 acres this
year is a healthy omen for better
farming and safer crop financing.
Corn conditions have improvedNin
many parts of the country since July
lst, when they were 5.4l, compared
with ten-year average of eighty five
Meanwhile the fields have been well
cultivated and laid by for the matur-
ing stages of growth. Insect damages
have not been extensive The hazards
of the crop have been largely escaped
during three out of four months of the
crops growth.

COST s404,997,3l2
TO RUN 1853 CITIES
WASHINGTON, Julv 27,

According to figures prepared by the
Census Bureau the larger cities of the
country pay more for schools and for
police and fire protection and related
service than OH all other accounts and
of these three items the payment on
account of schools is much the larg-
est, the per capita expense for schools
being 81. 20 as compared with So % for
police and SLIP for fire protection.
The figures are given out as a part
of the bureaus report covering the
financial operations for cities during
the year 1908. The report covers all
cities of more than 80, population,
of which there are 1853. The aggregate
cost of operating all these cities was
S404, 997, 312.
The report indicates a general in
crease in the cost of maintaining city
government. In 1902 the average was
$l3. SO per capita. By 1908 it had ad-
vanced to sl6.sl per capita. OF the
total amount more than one-fourth
was paid by New York.
Philadelphia expenses were only
about one-fourth as much as those of
New York.
But, large as were the figures for
New York the people of Boston paid
more in proportion to population. The
New England metropolis heads the
list with an expense cost of 81. IS fol
each person. OF the large cities New
York comes next with a cost of 81. II,
while Washington with cost of S24. 6S
makes close third. OF the first class
cities New Orleans paid less for city
government than any other, the cost
being only Sl2. rs per capita. Balti
more with an expenditure of $13. 81
was a close second.
OF the cities of the second class
Denver stood at the head and st. Jos
eph at the foot of the list, the figure!
for the Missouri city being only So. 81
per person and those of Denver S24. A
Salt Lake City paid most per capita
for schools, IS. IS. but Newton, Mass.
with IS, was close second. In thi
respect Montgomery, Ala, made tn,
lowest expenditure, 81. 60 per capita.
