the Public Schools. From en exhaustive article dealing Vita the reopening of the public schools. In the Lancaster Examiner. we cull this excellent bit of comment snent the real purpose of public schoo! education which Is timely in view ol the reopening of the local Kchools: "MThat Is most needed in our day is at so much the discipline of the mind as the direction of character, which is 'gummed up In the word Tllls In our day is very often neglected at home through the modern tendency to 'over indulgence. This Is more fre tjuentty the case In the city than In tho country.

In the latter domicile the boj has had the training in some kind ofwork; in the city there is little for Dim to do, and so he exercises his sur plus energy in games or gratifies his restlessness by a constant yearning to everything from an amateur base ball game to a roof garden perform ance. The boy at home for the most part has bis own sweet will, with or Correspondent Shows How Mythical It Is. FACTIONS STILL FIGHTING Hidden Knives That May be Expected to Flash In the Near Future A Respectable, but Not a Stronp, Ticket The Duty of Republicans. Wilkesbarre. Sept.

2. The Luzerne county Democratic convention has met, deliberated and dissolved. While the big armory of tbe Ninth regiment proved a very appropriate place for the gathering last year, distinguished as it was for Its belligerent qualities and warlike spirit, this year the Democrats might have chosen a church for their discussions, so peaceful and serene were the debates. To the unltlated onlooker everything was harmonious. The faction gladiatorial leaders of last year appeared with olive branches in their hands and sweet, seductive smiles upon their classic faces.

There were no roaring bulls to alarm, no growling beam to frighten. It was an apparent dovecote, with only the gentlest murmurs disturbing the' smoke burdened atmosphere. Only one roll call occurred, and that involved the selection of the candidate for Orphans' Court Judge, the contestants belne Attor neys Freas and Shortz. The former won out by a big majority. The large space reserved for specta tors, as well as the galleries, were thronged with curious people, no doubt drawn to the armory to witness repetition of last year's hilarious conflicts.

It was evident at the close that they were disappointed with the results. The apparent harmony lulled to repose any apprehension of internal strife and sent the spectators and delegates home wondering what It all meant. To the. man up a tree the horoscope was clearly defined. It involves a conflict not lacking in Democratic enthusiasm, because of the fact that the or ganization is a good and excellent one.

and of the other fact that the ticket is a respectable one. Note that adjective. respectable. This does uot mean a strong ticket, because in the past the Democrats have done a good deal with a ticliet which had not tbe flavor of exalted respectability in It. So it doesn't follow that a respectable ticket is a winning ticket.

In the present instance, the men nominated are by no means representative citizens. That is to say. not one of them, outside At torney Freas. van lay any claim to popularity. The latter counts for much in campaigns.

All may be known in their immediate locality, but it Is doubtful whether one Democrat in a hundred in Pittston knows anything about most of them. Again, this same man up a tree saw eharp knives protruding from the coat tails of several of the faction leaders in the convention, and it didn't take hint long to picture these hidden symbols of war flashing In the air bye anil bye and clashing indiscriminately. Just wait a little while and see if the apparent harmony of last Tuesday is not changed into vengeful discord before the Ieavc3 fall. The voters of Pittston will hear much about Demo cratic peace and harmony and the burial of the factional hatchet. It Is best not to put too much confidence in such stories, because a terrible dis appointment is likely to follow the acceptance of these delusive hopes.

The Democratic party is too badly disor ganized to give any promise of true conversion this year. The old sores still afflict and the pain has not sub sided. There are grim gorrillas in hid ing, waiting to strike when the lime comes. Ambushed disintegrators are lying low lo even up old scores. Democratic harmony is only superficial.

The undercurrent roars with turbulent threats of revenge. All the same, il is well for Republican voters to imagine that the battle this year is to lie a struggle for political supremacy, with loyalty the in spiral ion on both sides. It is not well to be over confident. This feeling has brought disaster iu the past and should not be permitted to combat individual action this year. There is always the chance that the unexpected may hap pen, and tlie best way to ward off such a result is to insure against it.

This may be done on the part of the Republicans by determining on united action. District leaders should sec to tng the puplh) brlelly on the general subject Mucatlon. in tbe Linden street bulldlnc' Director Langford was accompanied by Dr. Severson and Rev. Dr.

Harrington, both of whom spoke to the scholars in the various rooms. Director Brenton and Rev. Mr. Heal took care of the Warren street building, while birector Parke and Rev. Dr.

Harsbaw were at the ington street school. The rnWeAce of the two new teachers, members of the faculty of the high school, has necessitated the changing of the work somewhat, and Prof. Bierly has rearranged the schedule to a certain extent. Prof. Bierly will this year handle the classes in plane and solid geometry and higher algetsjfcferhlle Miss MacNutt will have general history, higher English and the classics.

Miss Sleicbter will teach languages, Latin, German, and Miss Ford will teach mathematics and natural science. Council Meeting. A brief session of the borough coun' cil was held last evening, at which many matters of the public weal came up for consideration. The most import ant matter to come up for considera tion was the proposed paving of the borough streets with a good macadam. The subject was discussed in all Its phases and it was finally decided to leave the matter in the hands of the street committee with power to go ahead and have the work commenced as soon as possible.

This is tbe action that it was supposed would be taken and tbe committee can now start la as soon as possible. If tbe committee starts at once, it will easily have three blocks of Luzerne avenue paved before the hard cold weatuer sets in, and that will be a boon to all who have occasion to use the streets. A committee of the residents of Lin den street, between Exeter street and Susquehanna avenue, were present at the meeting and asked that a sidewalk be laid on that street to be six feet in width. There was a slight dispute as to the line of the proposed walk, and it was advisable to have an engineer go it and establish the line anew, anil the matter of laying a walk was left to the street committee with power to as it saw fit. When the Board of Health turned over the sum of 75 cents fees collected during the moutlf.

it was decided not to pay over the regular $35 appropriation until a nuisance which has exist ed in the back part of town for some time, and which has been called to the attention of the Jboaru, Is abated Acting chief of the lire department. John Sciimgeour. reported that the lire alarm was out of working order lor the space of thirty flvo hours during the month of August, but that it had been repaired and was now iu ex cellent shape. The report of the chief of police was approved. An' interesting report of Borough Treasurer John Llewellvn was read.

It showed that the sum of $218.25 had been received from cases on the trial list and that tbe interest on the borough bonds pjnount ed to I6S5. A number of bills were ordered paid. West Side Business Men. Dental Parlors Dr. Meade Schenclc.

In this way, victory will come to the Republican standards In Luserne.

Assuredly the Republicans have an excellent ticket, made up of strong men, individually popular. There can be no justification for deserting any candidate. Fortunately the Democrats acted wteejjf in determining upon naming 'y Tl HntT1Wrju(TR8 of the Common Pleas cburtTBTs tnSifres the continuance In place of those two able and distinguished jurists, Messrs. Wheaton and Lynch. All effort from this time forward until election day should be directed to vote getting and seeing that the full Republican vote in each district Is polled.

This done, the ticket Is safe and Republican sway in Luzerne will be perpetuated, as it deserves to be. STALWART. THE CIRCUS IS HERE. Welsh Aggregation Arrived Is West Pittston This Morning.

Although the crowd was a large one, it was orderly In the extreme, and there were no brawls or anything of that nature to mar the genuine pleasure of lue day set apart for the remembrance of the man who earns his bread In the sweat of his brow.

When the parade had been reviewed and dismissed at the picnic grounds the crowd moved, as if by common consent, towards the northern part of the Island, where a stand had been erected for the speakers, and soon the meeting was called to order aud the speakers Introduced. The meeting opened with several selections by the Leek Cornet band, and then Chairman Gerrity, calling the meeting to order. said that it gave mm great pleasure to Introduce to the assembled trades unionists a speaker, well known for her eloquence and logic, namely, Mrs. Annabel Morris Holvey, of West Pitts ton, who would address them on the Relation of Temperance to the Labor Problem." In opening her remarks, Mrs. Holvey stated that in the few minutes assigned to ber that she would not attempt to discuss the rights and wrongs of labor.

for there were those to follow her who would give a clear discourse on these features. The labor problem was one that she had studied all her life, but never but once had she ever been called upon to participate in a strike. Once, when in the western part of the State, she had been at a strike and the scenes she saw there were pitiful in the extreme. In that strike many of the men drank, until what little money they had was used up, and then when they heard the voices of wife and chil dren crying for bread they were the first to go back to work, preventing honest men from winning their strike. She claimed that the men who spent their money In the saloons were the lirst to create the disturbances and were the first to return to work.

The speaker claimed that there was no such thing as overproduction in this country, for there were many fam ilies who did not know where the next lay's food was coming from, while the wile and children had to go in rags. The trouble was that there was underconsumption. There were hundreds of men not supporting their families, and therefore the mothers and daughters were forced to work in the mills and factories tor little or no wages, which simply forced them into lives of profligacy to gain a living. It also had the effect of lowering men's wages, for wages were like water, and always sought a lower level. Referring to the stand at which beer was being sold just outside of the picnic grounds against the wishes of the C.

L. the speaker said: "If there was an opposition speakers' stand over there with scab speakers, bow many would volunteer to dump it into tbe Lackawanna river? You would all have a hand in it. but if one of you men had the courage of little Carrie Nation tbe beer stand and its contents would have been in the river long ago. It would be the dirtiest kind of a bath, hut It would be clean enough for the likes of such people. I tell you.

you will never settle tne labor question until you shut up the saloon." Hon. P. A. O'lloyle. the next speak er, said that there was one great prob lem facing the American people, and that was the solution of the question of the masses against the classes.

La bor Day was the coronation day of labor. Kings and emperors had their coronation days, and would have them in the future, but this was labor's day. aud he was glad that he was one of those ready to deck it with the laurel wreath of victory or the golden crown if sovereignty. Alter referring to thb magna chart a of England and the greater bill of freedom, the emancipation act, the speaker said that the laboring class was today striking for a still greater proclamation, that of the rights of tbe masses. There is no power on earth as great as that the laboring men wield.

They had the tower tnd should use it. There was no need of shotguns, no need of assassins, no need of illegal acts, for they had the power If they would only use it. The laboring man bhould guard Willi eter nal vigilance, lor eternal vigilance was the price of liberty, and the battle was roniinjkheiore which all other hat lles would iale. Labor Day was the forerunner of this great battle, and the laboring men had wise, conservative leaders in the persons of Gompers and Mitchell, and they should listen to their counsels, and the next generation would find the conditions of labor vastly improved. "Stand for your igbls and they shall prevail." said the aKer in eonelusjon.

II. BriiiMinni, of Washington. I one of the organizers of the Americau Federation of Labor, was he third speaker introduced to the issemhlage. In commencing, he sain hat they had heard of the temperauce side of the question and the future to be gained through the labor movement, and that it would be his duty to point nut how that future was to be The plan was to organize every rado into solid trades unions, and in hat way present a solid front to the neniy, and if the W. C.

T. U. would liter the ranks of the labor unions lie temperance question would soon ic settled. When the laboring classes were released from slavery and placed upon a plane where they would he respected, then it would be settled. The Ministers preach to tickle the palates I the rich with gospel truths, but hey say nothing regarding the labor urolilem.

He advised them.tm rend, aud acquaint themselves with tlie topics ofi the day. to attend their meetings regularly, and to work for a closer feeling among union men. and then, when they should rise, to rise as one man. In closing, he said: "1 want to congratulate you girls of the silk workers. Von have won a great victory that has exalted you as women." The meeting was brought to a close COMING EVENTS.

To overcome this an inventor created the In er seal Patent Package, an ingenious combination of specially prepared cardboard and paper so peculiarly folded and securely sealed that it keeps out moisture and all kinds of badness. The In er seal Patent Package is used and controlled exclusively by the National Biscuit Company to keep their products fresh and good. hen yoo order Soda, Milk, Graham.
