MM. The Wnlos-Mitchell Suit. Attorney Alex. DeWitt Wales, of Bing haruton, applied to Justice Lyon of that city, on Thursday of last week, and moved to substitute T. L. Lewis, as President of the Mine Workers, for John Mitchell, against whom his suit for coun sel fees for furnishing the,, plan which ended the great coal strike was original ly brought. The motion was opposed by counsel for Mr. Mitchell. The court directed that briefs be submitted, after consideration of which, a decision will be rendered. , The proceeding is one more step in the litigation that has been before the court for five years, and on the calendars of the different terms since 1000. More motions than the lawyers interested can count have been made on one point and' another, one of the most important be ing on Oct. 10, 1904, when Mr. Wales obtained an order for the examination of Senator Thomas G. Piatt, by a com mission, on account of the condition of Mr. Platt'a health. There was a series of orders obtained by the opposing par ties relating to this examination before it finally took place before Henry L. Beach, late in 1905. It was arranged orally between counsel when the exam ination occurred that Mr. Beach should furnish typewritten notes of the testi mony, and that it need not be signed by Mr. Piatt, and subsequently Mr. Beach furnished these notes. At some time during 1905, after the dismissal of Mr. Mitchell's appeal from the order for the examination of Louis N. Hammerling, of Wilkes-Barre, which occurred on Sept. 22, 1905, Hammerling was duly examin ed before said Beach in Scranton some time late in 1905, or early in 1900, when arrangements were made similar to those in regard to Piatt, as to the signing of the testimony by the witnesses. President Roosevelt is one of the wit nesses regarded by Mr. Wales as impor tant to prove the justice of his contention ; but the President avails himself of the executive's special privileges in such matters, and declines to respond to sub poenas. To an ordinary observer it would ap pear that if there is no merit in the claim of Attorney Wales, it ought not to be a difficult matter to show that fact in a fair trial of the case; while on the other hand, if he is entitled to compensation for servicos rendered, Biniple justice ahould afford htm an opportunity to prove his rights through the usual legal procedure. C. C. Pbatt, our candidate for Con gress, called on ua, and we were pleased to hear that tho outlook in Bradford, Wyoming and Susquehanna counties ia such that there is no question about tho 14th Congressional District taking its place in the Republican column and giving its old time Republican majority. Mr. Pratt stated that nowhere in this Congressional District is there found a more honorable or upright set of peo pie than the voters of Wayne county, and Uiat the claim that Kipp was making, here and elsewhere, that thoy were pur chasable, would be resented at the polls. Wm. Jennings Bryan ia acknowledged to bo the greatest living authority on events that have novor happoned. Eva BY irreat national nolicv Ilrva haa advocated has been repudiated by (be pcoplo, by hia own party, or by him self. A visit to Menher &Co.'b Cloak and Bait department will convince buycre o( the style and cloth qualities of their auinn'ii mill (l OOpilf One ABpcct of Free Trade. Statistics recently published in Eng land show a discouraging condition of British industries under free trade. The decline in agriculture is especially marked. In 1851 there were in England ' and Wales l.OtVi.OOO persons engaged in agricultural labor; in 1901, while the, population had nearly doubled, the number had fallen to PSS.OOO. In 1851 the proportion thus employed was 100 to the thousand; in 1901 it was hut 80to ' the thousand. Various methods were t tried to induce men to remain on farms. but without effect. The hours of work were longer and tho returns smaller than ' in most other industries. The import ation of agricultural products continued to increase, and in 1907 amounted to I more than JCl'OO.lKW.OtXl. The British! farmer could not compete with the for eign product. At the same time, the manufacturing . industries, notwithstanding cheap food, i are in a greatly depressed condition, j through increasing foreign competition j under free trade. The army of tineni-' ployed in the manufacturing centre is much larger than for many years past, and has lately been reinforced by l.0,- 000 operatives of the Manchester cotton. mills. The last feature is due to a pe culiar condition. For several years pa.-t, the finest British machinery for cotton i mills has been sent to China and Japan, and the cheap native labor in thes-e j countries, with low freight rates on 1 British steamers, enable the nianufac-; turers to lay down cotton goods in Kng-! land at prices below the home cost. The i Manchester mill owners proposed a wage reduction of live per cent., lint the men refused Ilencetheiuills have been ! closed and the British public buys the i cheap cotton goods of Asia. It is not surprising that the protective policy is rapidly gaining ground in Eng land. The movement in that direction is called "tariff reform", while in this country "tariff reform" means free trade. The Standard Oil and the Tariff. Col. Bryan, in his speech at ltuffalo on Sept. 121st, emitted the following: "What has the President done to pun ish the Standard Oil Company? The lino against the btandard has been re versed, and uo effort has been made to remove the tariff which was imposed for the benefit of the Standard Oil Com pany." Whenever Bryan sees a Trust, he sees the tariff in the background. But if he will take the trouble to examine the tariff, he will find nothing in it for the benefit of the Standard Oil Company. As Mr. Archbold, Vice President of the Stand ard, pointed out last winter, in an elab orate article defending that trust and its methods, The Standard Oil Company derives no benefit from the tariff. Oil has for many years been on the free list, and the other products of the Company are cither free of duty, or are without foreign competition. As to the reversal of the Standard Oil fine, between Judge Landis and the l S. Circuit Court of Appeals Justice has not had her innings. But this is not the fault of President Roosevelt. If a fine against the Standard cannot be sustained under the present law, it shows only that the law needs amendment. Effective methods of checking monopoly are in the course of development, and are more likely to be reached under Taft than un der Bryan. If it could be checked by promises, Bryan could do as well as any man; but the task of checking it by ef fective legislation is still in the experi mental stage, and would still be in that stage under Bryan's plans. Foraker and the Party. The opposition to Taft, led by Senator Foraker, is now seen to embrace no He publicans except the comparatively small class that has heretofore opposed the Roosevelt policies. Foraker admits that he was for Jycara attorney for the Standard Oil Qo., though denying that he acted in its interest relative to feder al legislation. But he was attorney for the railroad corporations that opposed rate regulation ; and, though the Ohio legislature, with a Republican House and an opposition Senate, requested him to support the Hepburn-Dolliver rate bill, he fought it bitterly, and was the only Republican Senator who voted against it. He opposed the President's policies on all essential points, and dis torted the Brownsville affair in an at tempt to prejudice negro voters against him. His hostility to Taft is avowedly becauso Taft stands for the Roosevelt policies, and, if elected will continue Roosevelt's work in carrying them into effect. He has been barred out of the councils of the party, and ia making war on Taft in tho interest of railroads and trusts. Ex-Senatok Wilkinson Call, of Flori da, a lifo long Democrat and Confed erate veteran, lias repudiated Bryan. In 1872 and 1870, Senator Call was an Elector-at-Largeon the Democratic tick et. Hisreasonfor supporting Judge Taft, ia that he believes that Mr. Taft is a good man as well as Mr. Bryan and Mr. Hisgcn, but that Mr. Taft's experience in public affairs and his Bound judgment and the absenco of extreme opinions and hostility towards tho interests of tho southern people should command their support.

Mrs. Florence Crosby Herrmann, for mer wife of (Jeorge Herrmann, million aire lumberman am) theatrical "angel," during which happy relationship the pair were summer residents of Damascus township, where all sorts of domestic troubles eventually befell them, result" ing in litigation before Justice of the Peace, Wm. II. Ham. of this borough, anil a suit in a New York divorce court, has begun another suit in the Supreme Court afterdelectives have chased Herr mann over a good part of this country and Europe. An effort will be made to have a receiver appointed for the hus band, the object being to not only get his property, but toereatea trust for the former wife, so that .die can obtain three years overdue alimony and secure fu ture payments. This suit, is another act in n domestic drama in which (Jco. Herrmann has been leading man and two real wives and one pretender the leading women. .Mr. Herrmann former ly liked the show business, having plunged sO.OOO in "The Isle of Cham pagne." Wife, No. 1 was Lena Kreiler Herr mann, who sued for divorce, naming Carlotta Keys, of Vonkers, as co-respondent. The Keys woman soon made things interesting for Mr. Herrmann, suing for separation to establish lirst a coinnioii-luu and next a formal marriage. She lost the lirst suit, but obtained a veidiet in the second, which Justice Wiliiiout Smith set aside on the ground that her loveliness and wit hypnotized the jurors to lind in h.r far against the weight of evidence. More trouble speedily came when Herrmann married Florence Crosby, the star in '"The Isle of Champagne," who lives at No. 11VJ West Ninetieth street, New York, and still displays "Mrs. lieu. Herrmann above the bell," On her he spent most of the $Sd,lKKI. She sued for separation on the ground of cruelly. Herrmann testified that the shoe was on the other foot ; that his wife had smash ed him with a wet towel and hit him in the pit of the stomach with a gun bar rel. The Court finally granted her a separation, with ?:M a week alimony. This, she says, has not been paid in three years. In the complaint filed by Lawyer .Mil ler on behalf of his client, the charge is made that (ieorge Ilerimann has pur posely kept out of the jurisdiction of the courts of this State ever since the early part of the summer of URK, when the last payment on thealimony account, was made. It is also alleged th;t he has entered into an arrangement with the several other defendants the II. Herrmann Lumber Company and Uosa Herrmann, his step-mother "whereby they are keeping his property for the ex press object of keeping it from attach ment." Mrs. Rosa Herrmann is credited in the complaint with having an annual in come of $1,000,000 from her various busi ness enterprises, a considerable portion of which is supposed to go to (ieorge Herrmann. OBITUARY. Henry W. Hlaudin, one of Hones dale's most respected citizens and busi ness men, passed away Sept. 27th, 1908. He had been suffering for a considerable time from kidney trouble, which com pelled him to give up active business life last March, at which time he sold his farm at ltlandiu and removed to Hones dale. His health continued to fail and on the 22d ult. he was taken to Dr. Heed Hurns's private hospital in Scranton, for treatment, where he died. He was a son of the late Daniel and Adelaide Blandin who were among the first resi dents of Honesdale. The funeral serv ices were held at the Presbyterian chapel on Wednesday, Hev. Dr. Wm. H. Swift officiating. Interment in Glen Dybcrry cemetery. Mr. Blandin is survived by his wife, a daughter of tho late II. A. Woodhouse, and two sons, Albert W., of Pittston and Edson II., of Scranton. John I). Palmer died in a Carbondale hospital, Sept. 30, 1P0S, of paralysis, aged (.'5 years and 4 months. Deceased was for yeasr a resident of Equi nunk. He enlisted in that town in Co.

"The proposal to create forest pre serves around the sources of the streams that flow into the waters of this State should have hearty support. Nature pro vided the Btorage facilities for the water during a period of great precipitation in order to carry us through a drouth; man has stripped the mountains of tim ber, and Hoods and dry seasons have caused untold damage to property, to say nothing of the erosion and laving waste of vast areas of fertile land's by sudden freshets." Tioga Agitator. While we are ready to endorse what the Agitator says as to sudden and de structive Hoods as a result of the disap pearance of our forests, it docs not Beem so clear that the lack of rain and con sequent drouths arc due to the same cause. The farther back we go the more dense must have been our primeval woods, and the wider the territory they occupied. Yet the records and the old est observers arc being quoted to show that more than a hundred years ago the lowest water marks existing were made on the bed rocks of the Delaware, Sus quehanna and other rivers. The Port Jervis Gazette says that the shrinkage in the Delaware has "been watched by residents above Mill Rift for a mark of the lowest the river has fallen since 1775. Sunday this mark came to the surface and was plainly distinguishable, making YXi years since its appearance." Now there has been a steady destruction of the forests on the tributaries of that river during all of these 133 years, and and yet now, for the first time in that period, the record mark appears. This fact, if it proves anything, forces the conclusion' that to other causes besides the destruction of the timber must be ascribed the drying up of the sources of our streams. White Mills. Skit. 29th. Mr. and Mrs. Charles tiuisler are rejoicing over the arrival of a young son. Mr. and Mrs. Cosgrove are mourning the l-iss of their infant baby. There was great excitment in town on Thursday evening, over the runaway team which came in town without its driver. It was a miracle that this heavy team of horses could travel from Chas'. Porllinger's farm to the factory without causing some injury to themselves or the people of the town! but luckily all escap ed except the driver, Seth Down, who received a good shaking up, but nothing serious. Mr. and Mrs. William Cosgrove arc a happy couple overthe arrivalof a young daughter. The Modern Woodmen of America will hold their annual ball on Oct. 17th, at Heptasophs' hall.

White aiills Central Republican club wishes to say in regard to the many questions being asked about the future of their organization that thev are permanently organized, and that the prediction that the bottom will fall out after election is quite contrary to the preparations being made at this time, and we think when any good Republi cans from the county "have visited us, that they will agree with the Club, that we have come to stay. All signs fail in dry weather, but not so in AVhite Mills. For the last ten years it;has been generally known that in the boiler room of the factory three toads have always made it their home and whenever there was an indication of Tain the toada would always start to croak. Monday morning about 1 o'clock, croak, croak, croak said the little toad, and rain fell on the fireman before he reached home at 7:30 in the morning. At The Lyric. No greater theatrical attraction ia an nounced for early presentation this sea son, than the elaborate production of Shakspeare's famous' love tragedy of "Othello," in which tho noted tragedian, John Griffith, and his splendid company of associate players, will appear at tho Lyric Theatre, Tuesday, Oct, Oth. Ho is given excellent support, it is said, by hia present leading lady, Misa Edvth Totten, whose portraiture of Desdemona, tho fair and gentle Venetian, has been greatly praised by critics. The entire company is said to be the best Mr. Griffith has ever had, and hia approaching engage ment in "Othello" will boeagerly looked forward to. Where in this country ia it needful to enter into who and what Buster Brown is? Everyone knows R. F. Outcault'a cartoons too well, and the announce ment that this musical comedy will bo seen at the Lyric Theatre, I-riday Oct. 2d, brings forth but one query: "What sort of a performance will it be?" New scen ery and costumes with new songs imd music will bo tho features. What more can the amusement-seeker ask? Seats now on Bale at the boxolllce.
