H Roulette, Pa, \ TAMES MANSEL, i DEALER IN HARDWOOD LUMBER, ENRY D. HART, M. D., PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, The Parade at Buffalo Admired and Applauded by Half a Million People. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are march¬ ing with silver locks uow and halting gait, but the flre of martial spirit shines again from the eye of the old soldier as he swung into line at the ;Thirty-flrst National En¬ campment at Buftalo. It is a sight to inspire the heart with the profoundest emotions of increasing devotion to the defenders of our countrj\ No one wno looked upon the dem¬ onstrations in Bufl'alo last week in honor of tlie "boj-s in blue'' can ever forget the thrill¬ ing j-et pathetic .spectacle. A remnant ofthe most magnificent army of citizen soldiers the world ever saw had gathered to greet the few remaining comrades, bound to them bj' ties of mutual sutt'ering in a common, noble cause. As General Clarkson said at one camp-fire, "there was more publie hugging in the city of Buffalo to-day than ever before." Mingled with the joy of clasping the hands and looking into the eyes of the brave old survivors of tlie sixties, was felt the mournful recollection of those who were sleeping uow "iu the green tents whose curtains never .swing outward." The pathetic reflection that a few short years would end tlie earthly roll call of the G, A. R., tempered the joy of the occasiou to a great, sweet son OW. "We shall never look upon such a scene again," ex¬ claimed many, as they watched the glorious procession through the loug hours of Wednes- daj-. From flrst to last, in camp, at recep¬ tions, camp-fires, parades, the national meet¬ iug of the old soldiers was a magnificent object lesson in patriotism. The spirit that responded to Lincoln's call for troops could be felt and the power and glory of ihis great Nation shone through tlie glamor of this peaceful pageant. What nation on tlie globe could cope wilh America's armies, fllled bj- cilizons wlio felt tlieir caus° just aud their coumrj-In peril? To describe tlie Eucamp¬ ment in detail is impossible in these limited columns. The Parade on Wednesdaj- was tne central idea and the crowniusr glorj of the gathering, but the reunions, the camp-fires, the banquets, the receptions, and ail the features of the program were thrilling series of a continuous ovation. The soldier was the center of attraction everywhere, and he was found modestly wearing tlie honors so lavislilj- bestowed upon him. The crowd that Fathered in the Queen City has been variouslj- esllm«ted from a quarter to half <i -.iiillion. No doubt 600,000 people witnessed the parade. At 8 o'clock Main street wa.s wired aud none were allowed to trespass upon its smooth, graj- roadwaj-, wliich must have been a grateful substitute for the mire and stubble, the rocks and dust of Dixie's land, wliere the same feet that rnarclied so proudlj- up tliis beautiful street had plodded mauy a wearj' and foot-sore mile. And what a change in the surround¬ ings! Here thousands of flags and handker¬ chiefs, waved bj- fair hands, greeled the ej'e ofthe veteran; there the scrub oaks, the stunted pines, or the brown fields, where lurked the enemj-.' Here the plaudits of ad¬ miring and grateful thousands; there the belching of cannon, the blinding smoke and the groans of the djing! Here the cool breezes from Lake Erie on an ideal summer daj-; there the drenching rain or the burning sun; After a platoon of mounted police and the 6.5th Regiment Band, President McKinley led the march, seated beside Commander Clark- son, starting from the Terrace at about 10 o'clock. The appreliension that the parade would tire one with sameness was happilj- dispelled when the various divisions filed past with such a diversity of entertaining make ups, devices, emblems, etc., that inter¬ est was maintained to the end, Everj' window, niche, balcony, roof or other place that would aflf'ord a place to stand or sit was occupied, while along the pave¬ ments, on each side, crowding the rope, were countless thousands enduring the fatigue of standing and looking over the heads of others, for a wiiole day, Au especially skill¬ ful band oran exceptionally sweetor familiar tune would send the people into huzzahs that would roll like the wave ofthe sea alorg tbe throng on eitherside. Or an emblem like the Wisconsin Eagle, the stufted goose, or other happy hit, made to call up the memory of other days, or bits of golden-rod, siguifl- cant of the present triumph, would catch the ej'e, and again tlie cheers would drown tbe tramp of the armj-. At the Circle, head of Richmond avenue, the President lelt his carriage, and, seated beside Governor Black, Secretary Alger and Commodore Clarkson, he reviewed the Grand Army of the Republic, himself the soldier of soldiers, the citizen of citizens. After passing the reviewing staud at the Circle, the soldiers marched to C«mp Jewett and disbanded. Tbe excitement ofthe grand parade over, not a few j-ielded to the reaction, fatigue and heat, and were sent to the hospital, but most of those whom age and disease had bowed, exhibited the iron constitution and indom¬ itable will that made the armies ofthe Nortii conquerors In manj- a battle, Buftalo citj- did herself proud In receiving the veterans and caring for them aud the Immense crowds that flocked to the citj- to eujoy the occasiou. The police deserve great credit, as do also the railroad otDcials, in haudliug the crowds that without skillful directing would have precipitated frightful panics. Clnclnnr.ti will have the Annual Encamp¬ ment In 1898, but never agaiu will the people assemble in such enormous numbers nor so manj- veterans march in such splendid form as they did in Buftalo, the Queen City ofthe Lakes, in 1897. Synopsis of the Measure Which go into effect Next Year. The new road law passed by the recent Legislature and approved by the Governor, which goes into effect in 1898 provides substantially as follows: 1.

To accomplish the purpose of their strike, they have a right to speak of and pub¬ lish their reasons and grievances, and by argument, entreaty and ain' other legitimate means, to "persuade j ^^^^^ ^^''^s one of their fellow-workers and others that i trusted officers, theia cause is just. Striking miners, as any other as¬ sociation or organization, have a right to maintain a camp or a camp- meeting, and to have speeches and addres.ses. free from incendiary or inflammatory language, for the pur¬ pose of attracting and gaining new converts to their way of thinking : and. to advance the interests of their cause, they have the right to do anything that does not unlawful¬ ly interfere with the rightsof others. .M.\RCH1NG AXD COUNTER-.MARCHINO UP¬ ON PIBLIC lIKiHAVAYS. Highways can be used by large bodies of men for parades within reasonable limits; but a parade, con¬ fined to a limited piece of a public road before a pit-mouth and under a tramway, repeated two or three times a" day for ten days or two weeks, loses the characteristic of legitimate parade : and when direct¬ ed against the interests of the mine owner over whose land the road in conti-ary to his express command, it is a tres¬ pass. l'ATKOLMN(J IN SQUADS AND THE USE OF OPPROBRIOUS EPITHETS. And so, when squads of .strikers, consisting of from ten to fifteen men belonging to the strikers" camp, in the night-time and at almost every hour of the night, patrol the high¬ ways near the pit-mouth of the mine and by the dwellings of the miners continuing their employment there¬ in, and indulge in talk indicating hostility to the miners who work and who live in the dwellings, it is suggestive of a campaign of force and not of legitimate persuasion. There is a dividing line between persuasion and coercion. And lan¬ guage by which the working miners are called scabs, blacklegs, black sheep. etc., accompanied with threats of personal violence should they not cease work, uttered and made by individuals engaged in the common purpose of the strike, is clearly intended to coerce and not persuade, and tends to create a breach of the peace and to provoke a personal conflict between two large bodies of men, and therefore cannot be claimed to be lawful persuasion. and esteemed wherever he is known He has for many years represented Lebanon county in the State Senate, serving one term as president pro tem. His war record is excellent. He went into the war a young man and came out a brigadier-general, Sheridan "s most In the National Guard he has taken a prominent part, and is now the senior brigadier, in command of the Third Brigade. Personally, the General is a most delightful gentleman, and very popular. He was at one time at the head of the Knights of Pythias of the whole country. Some years ago he was nominated for Judge in Berks county, in which he did not reside. Tiie county was so over-whelmingly Democratic that no serious eff'ort was made by the Republicans to elect him. So great was his popu¬ larity that he was only a few votes behind his competitor, and might have been elected had his friends made the proper effort. Lebanon county gained, however, by the re- result, amd he has long been one of the most trusted leaders in his .sec¬ tion. The Tiiqiiircr tenders him its heartiest congratulation on the re¬ sult.—Fhila. IiKjiiirer. The Alien Tax Law. The Alien Tax law has been de¬ clared unconstitutional by Judge Acheson. of the United States Court. Of course, such action was expected by intelligent men familiar with the Constitution. The law provided that each alien employed should be taxed upon his wages, the money to be retained by his employer and turned over to the State in bulk. The sentiment was all well enough, but sentiment and law .sometimes conilict. and this was one of those times. Aliens cannot be got rid of in this sort of way. The nndesirable ones can be barred out by stricter immi¬ gration laws, and that is the only constitutional way. — Inquirer. The free trade shouters who are uow pointing with pride to the fact that the customs receipts under the Dingley law are very light are say¬ ing nothing about the fact that this is caused by the enormous importa¬ tion of the months preceding its en¬ actment. That every available spot on the green earth was ransacked for foreign goods whieh could be brought in under the Wilson law in order to avoid the increased rates under the Dingley law is shown not only by the heavy imports of the preceding months", but especially by the recent announcement from Washington that only §18.000,000 worth of foreign goods remained in. the bonded warehouses of the coun¬ try as against more than $50,000,000 at the^orresponding date of the precedir^ year, showing that no spot had escaped the attention of those who were filling the countrv with foreign goods to avoid the pro¬ tective rates of the Dingley law. This clearly explains the small im¬ portations aud light collections of the first month of the new law. Ideas Warmed Over. Many people are worthless for no other "reason than that they have been "encouraged" so much. It is strange how little some peo¬ ple get out of life. They eat and drink, lie down and sleep and finally die: that's about all. * * Running into debt ismo.sth' a mat¬ ter of courage, after all. And what a courageous people Americans are 1 ^* It is wonderful how easy it is to discover a reason for what we want to believe. * When you hear a man kicking about the church collections, you may be sure he wants to get all the good things in this life so he can spend more for the evil, * * If nobody spent money they owe to go on excursions, the trains would not be overcrowded. The warehouse-certificate state¬ ment, which was popular with the Populists two or three years ago as Workingmen iu the United States i applied to farm products only, is may congratulate themselves that: now proposed by Ex-Governor Silver has fallen in the past year from 69 cents per fine ounce, based on an average rate of exchange at New York at 58 ceuts per fine ounce, while wheat in New York has ad¬ vanced from 65 cents to more than a dollar per bushel. These facts de¬ stroy not only the usefulness of those elaborate tables with^ which the silverites attempted to show that wheat and silver go hand in hand, but also ^destroy confidence in the general theory and assertions of the men who a year ago attempt¬ ed to persuade the people of the United States to adopt the free coin¬ age of silver. It requires some frankness and moral courage on the part of free silver organs to admit that this thev rejected last vear the proposi-! Boies, of Iowa, as the onlv method ^ country has prosperity even with- tioii to place the "American dollar | bv which .silver can safely be made | out the free coinage of silvei', but upon the same basis as the Mexican a'basis for currencv. He suggests i some of them are doing it. This is - - " ¦ that, in view of the"continued fall of! notably the case with the New York silver, the Democratic party aban-! Journed which was the leading free don the free coinage proposition and | silver organ of last year, but which propose the purchase by the Gov-1 is now publishing page after page ernment of silver bullion at its '• of matter showing that prosperity is market value, issuing certificates | actually here although free coinage therefor redeemable in silver bul-1 is much further away than at this lion at its market value, whatever I time last year and the price of silver it may be at any time, is much lower. The recently published statement of the Bureaii of Statistics which has been exploited in the free trade newspapers of the cou'itry cl-iimin'^- that the increase of manufactures increased largely under the low tar¬ iff rates of the Wilson law has led somebody.to look into the general history of our foreign commerce du¬ ring the past half centur\\ The re¬ sult of this investigation shows that in the past twenty-five years the balance of trade has been in our favor to the extent of $2,461.OOD.OO^, while in the preceding quarter of :i centur}' the balance of trade was against us to the tune of $1,400,000.- 000. When it is remembered that the past quarter of a century has been one of constant protection with the exception of the three unhappy years of the Wilson law and that the preceding quarter of a century was one of mostly low tariffs, the signifi¬ cance of these figur(>s will be recog¬ nized. The Democratic bargain counter being in a seriously depleted and unattractive condition at the pres¬ ent moment, the leaders O'" that party are now searching for new novelties. Free silver and free trade have lost tlieir attractiveness despite the advertising which they have been given, the experiments by the public in that line having nauseated them with that class of cheap goods. It is probable that the next assortment of wares which these gentlemen will offer will be Harry George"s single tax, a de¬ nunciation of '"government by in¬ junction,"' a proposition to adopt the initiative and the referendum system by which the people of the country may be kept in a constant uproar by having an opportunity to initiate legislation or to pass upon measures enacted before these measures can come actually into operation. Statistician Mulhall in a recent article shows that the prairie States upon which the Silverites relied last year to carry their free silver proposition are not only the most prosperous sections of the United States, but most prosperous in the world, and that -their grain produc¬ tion is at least as great as that of France. Germany and Austria col¬ lectively, and their general food production five times as great per each person as in the most advanced sections of Europe. dollar. The working people of Mexi¬ co now find their dollar worth but 40 cents and yet are not receiving any increased number of them as their wages, while the prices of ar¬ ticles which they are compelled to buy with them have advanced as measured by depreciated dollars in which they are paid. With American tin-plate not only supplying the markets of our own country, but actually making a bid for the markets of the world, the Democi'atic assertions of six years ago that protection could not make this industry successful in the United States are anything but pleasant reading to the men who made them.

H Roulette, Pa, \ TAMES MANSEL, i DEALER IN HARDWOOD LUMBER, ENRY D. HART, M. D., PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, The Parade at Buffalo Admired and Applauded by Half a Million People. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are march¬ ing with silver locks uow and halting gait, but the flre of martial spirit shines again from the eye of the old soldier as he swung into line at the ;Thirty-flrst National En¬ campment at Buftalo. It is a sight to inspire the heart with the profoundest emotions of increasing devotion to the defenders of our countrj\ No one wno looked upon the dem¬ onstrations in Bufl'alo last week in honor of tlie "boj-s in blue'' can ever forget the thrill¬ ing j-et pathetic .spectacle. A remnant ofthe most magnificent army of citizen soldiers the world ever saw had gathered to greet the few remaining comrades, bound to them bj' ties of mutual sutt'ering in a common, noble cause. As General Clarkson said at one camp-fire, "there was more publie hugging in the city of Buffalo to-day than ever before." Mingled with the joy of clasping the hands and looking into the eyes of the brave old survivors of tlie sixties, was felt the mournful recollection of those who were sleeping uow "iu the green tents whose curtains never .swing outward." The pathetic reflection that a few short years would end tlie earthly roll call of the G, A. R., tempered the joy of the occasiou to a great, sweet son OW. "We shall never look upon such a scene again," ex¬ claimed many, as they watched the glorious procession through the loug hours of Wednes- daj-. From flrst to last, in camp, at recep¬ tions, camp-fires, parades, the national meet¬ iug of the old soldiers was a magnificent object lesson in patriotism. The spirit that responded to Lincoln's call for troops could be felt and the power and glory of ihis great Nation shone through tlie glamor of this peaceful pageant. What nation on tlie globe could cope wilh America's armies, fllled bj- cilizons wlio felt tlieir caus° just aud their coumrj-In peril? To describe tlie Eucamp¬ ment in detail is impossible in these limited columns. The Parade on Wednesdaj- was tne central idea and the crowniusr glorj of the gathering, but the reunions, the camp-fires, the banquets, the receptions, and ail the features of the program were thrilling series of a continuous ovation. The soldier was the center of attraction everywhere, and he was found modestly wearing tlie honors so lavislilj- bestowed upon him. The crowd that Fathered in the Queen City has been variouslj- esllm«ted from a quarter to half s will be recog¬ nized. The Democratic bargain counter being in a seriously depleted and unattractive condition at the pres¬ ent moment, the leaders O'" that party are now searching for new novelties. Free silver and free trade have lost tlieir attractiveness despite the advertising which they have been given, the experiments by the public in that line having nauseated them with that class of cheap goods. It is probable that the next assortment of wares which these gentlemen will offer will be Harry George"s single tax, a de¬ nunciation of '"government by in¬ junction,"' a proposition to adopt the initiative and the referendum system by which the people of the country may be kept in a constant uproar by having an opportunity to initiate legislation or to pass upon measures enacted before these measures can come actually into operation. Statistician Mulhall in a recent article shows that the prairie States upon which the Silverites relied last year to carry their free silver proposition are not only the most prosperous sections of the United States, but most prosperous in the world, and that -their grain produc¬ tion is at least as great as that of France. Germany and Austria col¬ lectively, and their general food production five times as great per each person as in the most advanced sections of Europe. dollar. The working people of Mexi¬ co now find their dollar worth but 40 cents and yet are not receiving any increased number of them as their wages, while the prices of ar¬ ticles which they are compelled to buy with them have advanced as measured by depreciated dollars in which they are paid. With American tin-plate not only supplying the markets of our own country, but actually making a bid for the markets of the world, the Democi'atic assertions of six years ago that protection could not make this industry successful in the United States are anything but pleasant reading to the men who made them. |
