ARE YOU ASSESSED?
The Democratic voters of Lebanon
county will readily recognize the necessity of a complete and correct assessment,
and therefore will give this important
matter their special and personal attention. Tbe chairmen of the district committees will see that every Democratic
voter in each district is assessed on or
before September 4th next.
rSTThere doesn't seem force enough in
the Force bill to force it through the
Senate.
g^-The last number of the Forum contains aa article entitled "The Salvation
of the Farmer." We thought that the
tariff was doing that thing for him.
lyTiiERE may be some doubt as to
the condition of Kemmler when the elec-
tricity got through with him; bnt there
ia ao doubt that he was dead when the
doctors got through with him—really
and truly dead. They cut him np iato
very little bits.
sf^-'-The Democratic Stato Ticket is
composed of worthy men who are en-
tilled to the support of the Democracy,
and that fact is quite sufficient to secure
their support by old line Democrats like
myself."—William A. Wallace.
A Lesson Tanght by the Census.
One of the effects of the census of 1£99
will be the proof it will furnish that a
high protective tariff1 does not benefit the
farmer. No matter how the figures may
be misrepresented that naked fact will
remain that the war tax is a fraud upon
the people and especially an injury to tl e
farmers.
The Doyleslown Democrat, in publishing an article on the population of Bucks
county, according to the census just
taken, gives an exposition of the decline
of the population ia the rural districts of
that county, which it says tbe Bucks
county farmer should eut out and paste
on tbe beam of his 45 per cent, tariff
taxed plow, so that he may not forget
them. "Thev will remind him while he
is turning to the sun's rays the finest
mould on God's footstool, that the population, in the agricultural districts of his
fair county, is decreasing rapidly. Tbey
show that he and bis neighbors are going
slowly but surely backward, backward."
The Democrat thinks that it is not necessary to repeat to the farmer the oft told
warning that his farm land is depreciating in value; that he gets low prices for
crops and produce; that his disheartened
fellow workers are abandoning their
farms for other business, and all tbe
while he has been "protected" by a tariff
tax averaging 43 per cent. The farmer's
own experience is the best witness to
these facts. There is something wrong
and the farmer knows it; it only remains
for him to supply tbe remedy. Ris condition wiU saver be improved as long as
he sends political demagogues to congress
who are more inclined to serve the monopolies than to uroraote the welfare of
the agricultural population. The Democrat cites an instance ia the case of the
Republican congressman from tbe Bucks
district. Ib 1888 he 'bawled' protection
for potatoes and beans from tbe hotel
porches in every agricultural district in
the county. The farmers gulped down
the hait and elected him, but his se tries
has heen of bo benefit to the farmer. He
has supported tlie Force bill, a piece of
legislation as odious to the American
people as King George's Stamp Aet
ne
voted for the McKinley tariff Mil, which
iustead of lessening the farmer's burdens
increases tbe average tax from 43 to 52
per cent,' and which, as declared by
James G. Blaine, does not contain a line
that will furnish for tte American farmer a market for another bushel of grain
or barrel of pork.
It is on account of the action of such
congressmen, who betray the farmers in
order to help the monopolies, that the
census reports show a decline of population in the agricultural districts.
Why thn    Big  Majority  Will Be
Wiped Oat.
Those who look at the usually big
Republican majority in tbis State as an
obstacle that can't be overcome, shonld
remember that two powerful influences
are at work in this campaign tbat never
before confronted tbe managers wbo
have been accustomed to control tbe
politics of the State.
Hereafter the labor leaders have not
antagonized the Republican hou-.es, but
have rather 'assisted them. This is
changed in the present contest. Powder-
ly is outspoken in his opposition to Quay
and his man Delamater. Others of less
prominence have assumed the same attitude of hostility to the Boss and his
methods and candidates. The miners
especially are affected in this way on account of their friendliness to Pattison
whom they know to be a protector of
their interests.
The record which the ex-Governor
made in his former J term of office favorably impressed all classes of working
men, who on the other hand are aware
of the damaging fact that in hia legislative service Delamater has been conspicuously tbe servant of the corporations and tbe wealthy class that emtio!
labor.
Another powerful factor tbat never
before to the same extent threatened
the big Republican majority, is tbe attitude which the farmers' organizations are assuming in the contest. Republican and Democratic farmers have
heretofore divided their votes in State
contests according to their party predilections. Ib this campaign party Hies
toa large extent are obliterated in the
granges whose members have confidence
in Pattison, and know from past experience that they can expect nothing from
the politicians who direct Republican
executive and legislative action.
The most prominent of the granger
leaders have openly declared for the
Democratic candidates for Governor, and
the entire class of agricultural voters is
pervaded by a distrust for the Quay
management which, on the question of
taxation and other matters of interest
to the farmers, has sacrificed them, time
and [and again,, fbr the benefit of the
corporations.
In no former State contest were the
laboring and the agiicultural peop'e arrayed in so distinct and pronounced a
manner against the dominant Republican machine as they are this year. As
they ara the two most numerous classes
of citizens, the stand they are taking
converts ihe possibility of overcoming
the usually larre Republican majority
into a very strong probability.

the nomination of the men of the choice of
our people.
Had it not been fur the arbitrary interference of a politioal dictator and the stupid obstiuauey of a few managers, "the
field," representing tbe choice of the people ofthe Republicans of this State, could
ease been combined and some ol the
cboioe ef tbe people nominated. But corrupt and corporate influence combined prevailed, aad tbe Standard Oil corporation
candidate was nominated for Governor.
The same Senator Delamater that had
promised his people at home, and time and
again assured tbe ti'ate Orange Legislative committee tbat he would do all in his
power te paa tbe farmers' tax bill, hat
wben it oame np in the Senate he spoke
aad voted even against its consideration—
aad it was thereby lost by just tbe treachery ot that one vote.
tbis was vastly different.
Tbe same fight was made in the Democratic Convention, but tbe people by an
overwhelming irajority nominated Ex-
Governor Pattison for Governor and Brother Black for Lieutenant Governor. Patti.
son din-inn his Gubernatorial tern* labored
incessantly for the rights and protection of
tbe people and the enforcement of tbe
constitutional authority of the State; that
tbe corpoiationa should be amenable to
tbe same laws and authority that the peo
pie were subject to, and that tbey should
bear an even handed and equitable share
of tbe taxes to snppoit the local and State
governments.
Onr people did everything in tbeir power
to secure the nomination of fair and acceptable men in both parties—men wbo
could be relied oa as being true to their
interest and see that justice and equity be
dealt out alike to people and corporations
without fear or favoritism, maintaining
tbe supretnacy of right and putting down
the oppression oi wrongs
Thia now ceases to be a contest between
tbe Demoeratie aad Republican parties,
but becomes a contest between light and
aroug—a contest for supremacy between
tbe people and the corporation,—a contest
for justice, equity and ihe supremacy of
constitutional government. The candidate on tbe side of the people is Ex.Governor Pattison, a mau true and tried,
whose character is above suspicion. The
candidate on tbe side of corporations and
corrupt powers of the state is Senator
Delamater, a maa who has been tried and
found wantinir, whose word cannot be
t.-usted—who, after the most positive
prom ikes tbat he would vote for tbe farmers' and people's tax bill, went hack on
bis pledges.
A STATE I8SUE ONLy.
This is not a national contest ia wbioh
protection or free trade is involved, bat
tbat of tbe election of State officers—a
State issue between the people aod those
who would subvert aad overthrow the design and spirit of our institutions.
We do not ask formers to change their
political principles, but we ask them to
enforce them by relnsing to rote for men
wbo misrepresented their interest wben in
political office, as did Senator Delamater.
Tben, and only then, will the party of our
preference nominate men that the people
want.
I bave endeavored thus early to lay before }ou what bas been done to enforce
your -»ishes as returned through your repot ts, so tbat political managers could not
consti ue onr notion as being for partisan
purposes. I now submit the whole situation to your unbiased political judgment
sad patriotism, to do ailin yonr power to
elect men wbo will truly and honestly represent our interest irrespective of party
pudjudice, remembei-iui; that if we continue putting men into p.*wer who, while
io political position, worked and voted
against tbe farmers' aud people* interest,
we might as well Wneuder to tbese usurpers like menial si • ves deserving tbe contempt and derision of publie opinion.

nearness Can't be Cured
by looal applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of tbe ear. There is
only one way to oure deafness, and that is
by constitutional jemedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucoaa lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube get* inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entiiely closed Deafness is the
result, aad unless the inflammation can be
taken oat and tbis tube restored to its
noi mal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrb, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of tbe mueous surfaces.
We witt give One Hundred Dollars for

Fatal Accidents.
A sad accident occurred Friday afternoon by wbich the wife of County Commissioner Zeller met an instant deatb.
The Commissioner was engaged screening oats, when bis wife entered the barn
to speak to bun, and after a short conversation Mr. Zeller went to assist the
hired man ia hitching the horse to go to
tbe blacksmith shop- During the Commissioner's absence Mrs. Zeller under'
took to take the place of her husband in
screening the grain. She finally bad a
lot of chaff or refuse matter on hand and
in walking to the door of the forebay she
looked out to see that no horses were
under the forebay before she threw out
the material, but ia doing this and wbile
arising from her stooping position, she
struck tbe back of her head against a
cross bar near the top of tbe door
which probably stunned and knocked her
for waul and cut of the door into space,
lauding on a large si raw slack iu front
ofthe lotelijiy. The soft straw would
have saved her from serious consequences
but at the four corners of tbe stack,
three rails aiv* used to stiffen and brace
the stack. In the fall tbe unfortunate
woman struck the side of her forehead,
with great force, on one of the rails, in*
flictinz a wound of (air dimensions.
When Mr. Zeller reached her sbe was
dead. Sbe was aged 58 years, and the
funeral took place this, Tuesday, morning at 9 o'clock.

such serious inteinal that be died late In

unconscious condition until death came
to its relief. Dr. Reiter was called iato
attend to the boy, but be was beyond all

LITERARY NOTES.
Harper's Weekly for August 16th have
an illuxtrated supplement oa "Tbe Fishing Craft of tbe World" by Captain J. W.
Collins, of the United States Fisheries
Commission.
Mary F. Wilkins will contribute to Harper's Toung People for August 12th a
sketch entitled "A Sweet-grass Basket,"
which wfll be accompanied by a full-page
illustration drawn by Alice Bat ber.
Ou account of the large number of advance orders received for Mrs. Custor's
na w book, /following the Guidon, tbe publishers have been compelled to postpone
its publicstion until August 33d. Theodore Roosevelt says of tbis work, "It is a
book whicb is not ouly interesting, but it
possesses real and lasting value as a faithful portrayal of a characteristically American ihtseof life whioh has now almost
passed away."
Harper & Brothers anuounce for immediate publication Taxar, a romance of ancient Greece, by tiie author of "Thoth;
also Giovanni Verga's "The House by the
Medlar-tree,' translated by Mary A. Craig
wilh an introduction by W. D. Howells.
Hypnotism—mesmerism—by whiobever
name yoa choose to oall it—is a subject of
special interest to everybody at present,
and everyone wonld be pleased to have ocular demonstration of some ofthe wonderful phenomena produced by tbis weird art
or science. Opportunities, however, are
lew ; but those curious to learn the modut
operandi may do so from reading the description of "A Hypnotic Seance," illustrated with pictures taken from life, published ia Demorest's Family Magazine for
September. It is by thus giving special
attention to timely topics, keeping "in
touch" with the rentiments and new ideas
of the day, tbat tbis ideal Magazine has
achieved its wail-deserved popularity.
Another timely paper is "On a Millionaire's Steam-Yacht," the text and the fine
illustrations giving a vivid idea of Jay
Gou'd's "Ataianta," |the tloating'palace in
wbich be and his guests enjoy "life on the
ocean wave." Everyone cannot be a millionaire aud own a steam-yacht, but one
can read about it aud imagine how it
would seem.
Then read "Wings, Songs, and Stings ;"
and if you do not decide that the topic is
timely, and feel a new interest in the mosquito, we are egregiously mistaken. The
story matter is fully up to ita usual high
standard, everyone who has "a sweet
tooth" will be interested in "A Box of
Candy," the housekeeper will be specially
pleased with "A Normandy Kitchen,"
every one of "our girls" shonld read
"Girl Bachelors es. Husband-Hunters,"
and the children will be delighted with
the kindergarten amusements and the
story of "A Dutch Doll." We have not
space to enumerate all the other attractions ; but there are nearly two hundred
fine illustrations, and a lovely water-color
that everyone will appreciate for its artistic effect and truthfulness to nature. How
all this is done for 30 cents a number, $3 a
year, is a problem. Published by W.
Jennings Demorest, If East 14th Street,

A Haunted House.
That "spooks" have not yet ceased to
be, seems to be an established fact; if the
tales of their uncanny doings, as told by
several citizens of tbis place, can be relied upon. A certain house in the Fifth
ward of this city is said ta be the place
where a restless spirit is disporting itself
in an alarming manner. Nothing unusual had occurred there until one night
last week the family living in the house
were aroused by knockings at the inner
doors, and otber indescribable noises.
The be.lsteads in two of tbe rooms were
shoved out of position by unseen hands,
dishes were broken, mirrors fell from the
walls and were broken into fragments,
and pandemonium reigued supreme. The
inmates fled for tbeir lives, and are ready
to move out should the disturbances continue.
Officer Leonard, a plucky man, who
says he fears neither devils nor spooks,
was called ia one nigbt to investigate
these mysterious doings, and narrowly
escaped being hit by a heavy pick handle
wbich wae burled at him from somewhere. The piece of wood flew into the
window and demolished glass and sasb.
He fired several shots in the direction
from which it came, but tbis only added
to the racket wbich was going on ia various parts of I be house.
Watching parties have remained there
several nights and all have been convincd
that there is something wrong in that
particular house—so they say. They
don't believe in ghosts* but at the same
time can discover no rational way out of
tbe dilemma. Be it what it may, the affair has certainly created a great deal of
consternation in that neighborhood.
