Those nn the Fence Should Commit Them- selTs, Says a Carbon Editor. As we are impressed, the oppor tunity presents itself, especially to the dominant political party of this (the Eighth) congressional district, to take an important ship fowurd when it cornea to the selection of a candidate for Congress, says the Mnuch Chunk News. Heretofore it was always taken for granted that evory candidate for nomination was strictly in accord with his party on all political issues But not so this time. Bolting seoms to lie in order on both sides, by Republican silverites, as well as by gold Democrats. But the people of both parties have a right to know every candidates opinion in regard to the very important issue now pre sented to the country before they cast their ballots at the primary election for congressional conferees.

So far we believe the only Repnb- ican named or suggested as candidate is Judge Easton, and as far as he is concerned it may safely be taken for granted that he is with his party platform on the side of gold. But there are, we believe, four, perhaps five or even six candidates for the Democratic nomination, but as far as we know, only one of them has come out openly and positively on one side of the question in favor of the silver plank in the party platform, we refer to the present member, Mr. Hart. Mr. Lauor, of Carbon county we believe, is on the same side, whilst Dr.

Shull, of Monroe, is said to be for gold.and.as far as we know Mr. Barber, of Carbon, may yet be uncommitted. If Mr. Mutchler, of Northampton, is going to be a can didate, we suppose he will also turn uixin the side of Public opinion should require every candidate to pledge himself positively before the public on one side or the other, according to his own convictions. Such public pledge or declaration would be manly and honorable.

Refusal or hesitation means cowardly straddling and dodging, and running not as a repre sentative of principles or ideas, but for expediency as a party rooster for ollice and spoil only. 10,000 feet well-seasoned good whitepine boards for sale.

auglztf Tensions for Colored Soldiers. Rev. J. L. 8.

Huff, of Strouds burg, Secretary of the Inter- States Branch of the Afro-Ameri can Emancipation League and the director of that order in the Eighth Congressional District, is in town looking after the interests of the neglected widows and orphans of colored soldiers, who are entitled to pensions under the laws. It being the business of the colored organization to search out and push these claims of their race in cases where lawful endowments are due them, but where payment is delayed for want of knowlodge as to how to proceed. It being also a part of the official duty of Rev. Mr. Huff, as the representative of the society, to search out all Buch.

He has the names of seven porsons believed to be just claimants and will seek the good dices of Congressman J. J. Hart to aid him in prosecuting these claims. Among those entitled are Mrs. Sarah Davis of this place, widow of Azariah Davis, a New Jersey vol unteer, and Charles Adams, of Stroudsburg, whose pension ha been withdrawn.

The rest are Northampton and Carbon parties. Court Notes. Adjourned court held August 12 before Hon. Q. S.

Miss Campbell's Saddle Slipped and She Was Saved by -Artist Oliver Kemp. (From the New York Journal.) Miss Lydia Campbell, daughter of Richard Campbell, of New York city, and a summer resident living on the Rumson road, was thrown from a saddle horse and draggod thirty feet while out riding accompanied by a groom on Ocean avenue, near Sea bright, N.

Sunday afternoon, Aug 2. Oliver Kemp, a New York artist summering at Long Branch, went to the young lady's assistance on a bicycle, and making a flying leap caught hold of the bridle and stopjied the horse. Miss Campbell was un conscious and badly brusied. The horse was frightened by a passing bicycle and plunged. Miss Campbell is an accomplished horsewoman, but the saddle slipjied and before she could release her foot from the stirrup she was thrown.

The groom could not overtake the horse. Miss Campbell was taken home and is in the care of a physician. A Reply to Some Strictures Our friend, C. Lehde, of Chris tian Hill, takes exception to the Three Rs mentioned in last week's Press and writes that as a Republican he would hardly have expected that of us. He enquires if we think they will help to stay the onmarch of conscious indignation of the many struggling people, and finds faults with Bourke Cochran, D.

B. Hill Co. His latest home made motto, This world for labor, the next one for rest. Take this for your motto it will serve you the best," he desires to supplant his previously discovered one of More weeding and loss reading." 'The Ihree Political Rs, as ap plied to the Chicago platform, "Repudiation, Robbery and Revolu tion," sum up the estimate of one of the ablest Democratio papers in the country.the that wonder ful concoction of principles promul gated by Democracy as its new cor ner stone of faith, and we are not responsible for the opinion one member of the family holds of the others. Bourke Cochran has been considered as one of the shining lights of Democracy and D.

B. Hill as one of its ablest exponents and most successful leaders. They should know the genuine brand of that article, and if they denounce in unmeasured terms as they do, the spurious and falso doctrines now labeled as such it does not lie in us to gainsay mon of their ability and sagacity. We are willing our friend shall demonstrate to them the error of their ways. Tho Now York Life Insurance Company is utilizing the fence in front of the excavation for the foundations of its new building on Broadway to good purpose.

There is no advertising permitted on it.bu in great white letters is printed the following inscription TEMPTING ODDS. SIXTEEN TO ONE THAT THE MAN WHO HAS MANY DOLLARS WILL NOT STARVE, IF THEIR VALUE IS REDUCED ONE HALF. SIXTEEN TO ONE THAT THE LABORING MAN AND THE MECHANIC WILL, IF THEIB WAGES ARE PAID IN FIFTY-CENT DOLLARS. VOTE FOR SOUND MONEY. On the same fence is this inscrip tion, in letters a foot high WHEN SIX INCHES MAKE ONE FOOT.

WHEN EIGHT OUNCES MAKE ONE POUND-WHEN SIXTEEN QUARTS MAKE ONE BUSHEL. THEN FIFTY CENTS WILL MAKE ONE DOLLAR, AND THE POPULISTS WILL GOVERN THE UNITED STATES. VOTE FOR HONEST MONEY. Here is a good example for other corporations and firms that have blank walls at their disposal. There can hardly be a better way to make I tho broad side of the fence useful.

BRIEF MENTION. Van Dermark Hose No. 1 pic-nicked at Raymondskill Wednesday. The Methodist Sunday School will have their picnic at Conashaugh the 25 of August. Milford crossed bats lost Satur day with the Dingman nine.

The score wos 14 to 5 in favor of the former team. July goes on record with the greatest roinfall for years, and with a temperature 8 degrees higher than for any July 50 years back. A party of sixty-five from Cona shaugh visited Milford last Friday on wheels and made a fine display of costumes and expert riding. -Samuel L. Foulke the fifteen year old son of Dr.

S. L. Foulke, of Stroudsburg was drowned while swimming in Beaver brook, Aug. 7. Letters of administration with the will annexed were on Monday granted on the estate of Jacob Otten heimer, dee'd, to Arthur Lederer.

Lansford Record. -Charles Cindorbox, of Newton, N. is said to be 103 years old.and to have talked with George Washington and wife in his younger days. He wears a high hat of uncertain age, and is only five feet tall.

Early in September the colored people of this vicinity will hold a grand political meeting here at which eminent speakers will be present and both sides of the silver ques tion discussed. -During the first of the week an old box sprinkler took the place of our brand new machine, which had been nired out by the street com. mittee to do duty in laying dust on the Fort Jervis race track. Saturday next ends the susiiense of the several Democratic candidates in this oonnty for the present, at least. Some of them may.

after that time rest easy, but Jordan will still be a hot and dusty way for others until next Mrs James Boslor was severely injured last Saturday night by being run down with a bicycle ridden by Azariah Davis. This reckless riding without lamp or bell will eventuall bring some one to grief. Kiders should exercise greater care. The trotting and bicycle races at the Port Jervis Driving Park this week attract large numbers of people, despite the great boat and consequent discomfort. The time was good, Rnd the managers are to be congratulated on the success of tho affair.

Hon. John I. Blair, of Blairstown N. will be 94 years old on the 22 of this month. Mr.

Blair is now con fined to his residence in that town and on account of infirmities of age he is unable to go away from home unattended. His business affairs are carefully looked after by his pri vate secretary, Dr. Vail. Tho hop at the Sawkill House Friday evening, Aug. 7, wos well- attended, and with good rausio sev eral happy hours were quickly passed by the young peoplo.

The poach oream and hospitality for which this house is celebrated were both fully in evidenoe and the small hours a signal for dispersion came much too soon. A mysterious disease has brok en out among the cattle in Centre county. They first become lame and their legs begin to swell the swell ing gradnally extends over the whole body and anally results in death. Not one so far after being attacked has recovered. It is thought the disease Is contagious and to have been brought up by a herd of cattle shipped from the South.

ITEMS OF INTEREST, Milk dealers in Cuba do not grow rich, as the law comiiels them to drive their cows to the doors of their customers and milk them in their presence, thus assuring the genuine fluid. A new style of peduls for bicy cles is arranged to work up and down, avoiding the rotory motion which is regarded as wasteful power. AMONG THE HOTELS.

The excessive heat of tho past week hos boon terribly trying in every part of the country, and has resulted in a long list of fatalities and prostrations in the chief cities of the Union.

42. EXPERIENCE OF FARMERS. The Specialties at Hursb's Pine Hill Farm In Sussex County, N. J. (From the New York Farmer.) As you will note by my letter-head my specialties are fine butter, eggs and fruit.

We have from the begin ning of our farming aimed to improve in every lino. Although we have an excellent dairy cellar, wo have long believed that especially in the hot months we did not get the best results obtainable by shallow pan sotting ot milk. After long investigation I invested in a Kneeland's Crystal creamery with the impression that along with the most approvod method of cooling the milk, I would much benefit in the saving of labor. It has fully come up to my expectations in both respects. My well, having a strong vein and being very cold, I erected an all-steel windmill upon it, and pump the water deep under ground directly into the creamory, the over- flow from which runs by gravity to a stock tank at the barn and thence to the poultry houses.

We print all our butter in one pound bricks, with the initials of the buyer on each one. We find that the bottom of tho creamery, which Is a metallic cabinet, is an admirable x'lace in which to place the butter and answers tho purpose of a refrigerator very well. I am truly delighted with my creamery. The cans are glass, hold ing ten gallons each. No rusting of tin, no leaking, no lifting, quickly cooled, and absolutely clean.

It does not seem possible that there could be anything better probably none so good. As a dairy improvement and la bor saver, I do not think I ever made a better investment than in tho Monarch Steel Windmill" and the "Kneeland Crystal Creamery." The mill was bought of the agent at Lay-ton, N. and has proved in every respect as he represented it to be. Exceedingly simple, strong and durable, it will pump in as light a wind as any other mill and in a storm or high wind governs itself perfectly. Geo.

E. Hursh, Lay ton's N. A Fhemomenon Kxplalned. On the arrival of the evening mail Tuesday a pronounced odor of sul phur and sponged whiskey seemed to taint our wholesome at mosphere. The cause was mysteri ous until it was discovered that Piko "had an article in the Ga zette entitled A Rebuke to Falso Critics." The Dispatch probably had no use for it.

Remembering the truthful saying of the Irish orator that one cannot bite the bottom of a frying pan without smutting one's nose," tho Press leaves "Piko" to his cogitations and rum inations. General Reeder Injury, The genial Secretary of the Com monwealth met with a painful accident a few days ago. Attemping to lower a window in his room he had the thumb of his left hand caught between the upper and lower sash which acted like a scissor3.
