the best part of it all ia the fact
that no where was there any lack

Romine's Mills and Bridgeport,

produced splendid audiences?

given our Democratic friends.
The meeting at the Shinnston

The Burial Reform association, to
encourage simplicity in disposing ofjj
the dead, has l>een organized in New
York city, by several progressive
clergymen. They arc going to advo
cate a radical change and reform based
en public safety and economy. It is to
be the duty of the clergy to advocate
the abolition of the present methods ?>f
burial and to urge people to use wicker*
caskets or papier mache coffins in thcii
future. As these caskets will not last
long, this form of burial provides an
"earth to earth" burial as expressed in
the Bible. It is claimedt says an easts
ern exchange, that the plagues of Lon
don have been traecd directly to 1 In
dentation of its underground watewjj
and the corruption of its atmosphere by
putrefying bodies in the great ceme
teries near the city. That treat
pestilence awaits the city of New York
in the near future, is the argument rifj
those who have enlisted their energies
in the burial reform movement. The
new caskets will facilitate the rapid,
decomposition of the hnman body.
The elements of the earth and air lif
the earth mingle with the body shortly,;
after burial and work out their natural^
effect without corruption. The new
movement simply means the use of
burial outfits that will not retard de
composition. It will prevent bodieig
underground from becoming a mass of:
corruption, while at the same time it>
will remove a menace to health and the
severe drain upon the family purse,
The idea of the burial reformers will
no doubt prove a popular one with the
mass of people. The undertakers, of;:
course, will furnish considerable oppo~;
sition, but, as they are in the minority,
their arguments will probably prove ofl

town dropped in at the office on a pre
tense and was admitted to the factory.
He tried his best to create a favorable
impression upon one of the girls. She,
with some others, waited until the su

boldly made a rush for the dude, and,
forcing him outside the building with
the assistance of the boss, they threw
him into the cistern. He was left to
flounder out as best he could.
Tub Massachusetts tax assessors are
having difficulty in their efforts to as
sess the tax on bicycles provided for by
a recent law of that state. They gen
erally report that they have been able
to get hold of hardly half the wheels
in use, and in some places could not
have made even that showing had it
not been for the wheelman's direct
torics, published before the tax law
was passed. Many of the wheels are
owned by minors, whose property to
the value of one thousand dollars can
be exempted. The Massachusetts as
sessors had a similarly bothersome
task some years ago in the taxation of
hens, of which the legislature subse
quently relieved them.
There is a better market for kisses
in Rochester, N. Y., than in Brooklyn.
A young woman, according to the
Eagle of the latter city, has just re
covered a verdict of four hundred dol
lars against a man in the former city
who had kissed her against her will,
while the Brooklyn woman who sued
a man for a similar offense secured
the conviction of the guilty man and
his sentence to pay a tine of one hun
dred dollars. The Rochester girl got
the kiss and four hundred dollars,
while the Brooklyn woman simply got
the kiss.
Tank steamers have for some time
been used for carrying- petroleum and

much the same way that crude oil is
treated, storing it in big tanks in his
yards until it is needed for shipment,
when it may be pumped into barrels by

is to be gathered from the various
sugar plantations and transported to
tank cars.

Luckily for railway conductors the
average traveler keeps the Beat in
which he is first found. The conductor
is by no means the infallible person that
some folks think him, and only this
habit of the traveling publlo enables
him to keep track of newcomers. Every
stranger who moves from one Beat to
another thus becomes an object of sus
picion to the conductor, and is watched
lest he be trying to ride free. As to
the commnter, his relation to the con
ductor la no nearly one of honor that If
he chose he could swindle the company
at least once a week.
A Dubuque (la.) man lately took a
lot of quarter dollars and chiseled off
the first ay liable of the word "quarter"
and the last syllable of the word "dol
lar." The letter "r" was then changed
to "nil making- the inscription read
"ten dol." Then he gilded the coins
and offered them to tradesmen at a par
value of ten dollars each. It was an
ingenious scheme, but Uncle Samuel's
myrmidons are no blind worshipers of
ingenuity. The gentleman from Du
buque is now languishing in jail.
SU5FLOWEH seeds are sold in the
streets of New York city. They fetch
three cents a pony glass, and are
bought in considerable quantities by
passers-by from a vender, who deals in
a few other trifles, and from time to
time hulls a few of the seeds and eats
them himself, lie smiles and says sun
flower seeds are good to fatten one.
They are fed to chickens for that pur
pose in some parts of the country.
The leavings of the Midway of the
world's fair at Chicago are still doing
their little act in sundry bucolic parts
of our unsophisticated land. The Sa

Georgia and other states, declares that
such exhibitions should be excluded.
The News is quite right, says the Inter

to study ethnology than ethics.

They bless him for the hnngrr cries

They praise him for the pitching of a

They toast him for the making of our

Aye, everywhere they seek him out in

When any great industry is
destroyed those thrown out ot

Two years ago under a Repub
lican administration this country
was in the most prosperous con
dition in its history according to
all commercial reports. Is it a
coincident tbatafter two years of
Democratic rule it is in the lowest
state of depression ? If so. why
has business depression followed
always after the advent of a
Democratic administration ?
I t
Is it comihon prudence to
I open our markets free to any
nation without any restriction on
any article whatever, when we
can obtain a similar advantage
for some article produced by us
as exchange ? The Democratic
party is teaching that dangerous
? -"-j ---???
Let every man do his utmost
during this campaign to over
throw that party which is doing
all in its power to betray the
business Interests of this ooun

personal score. Every patriotic
man will be found at his post
doing his duty.

A protective tariff, to com
mence with pays the expenses of
our National Government, next
it benefits the class of labor
making that particular article,
thereby it benefits other classes
of labor by taking from the labor
market the amount of labor re
quired to produce the article and
by the number total of laborers
employed, it makes a market for
the products of the farm and the
so-called raw materials, to say
nothing of the increased labor
required for transportation.
Canada with her cheap labor
boasts that with the duty taken
off of coal she will supply all the
eastern cities. Knowing this,
can the coal miner afford to vote
for the party which advocates
free coal, which means lower
wages and starvation to himself
and family?
Fkeb trade means less work
and smaller wages, greater com
petition in the labor market for

farmer and a general shrinkage
of all values, ill comes off the
