County Democratic Ticket, 3 r..i-....-.li« The Eepublican party' in Franklin county has been bailfc np by conviotion enforced upon the voters through argu- ment and experience that tbe policies of thafcparty make for the general prosper- ity and for the individual's benefit. Gradually realization has grown in upon the minds of the farmers, wageworkers and manufacturers that protection is particularly essential here, in our close proximifcy jo Canada, and soores of Democrats have changed their politics during the past few years upon this ground alone. The benefits of the Be publican scheme of taxation for State uses have also had their effect—property owners having seen that as compared with a dozen or fifteen years ago the county is better off annually byfiftyto sixty thousand dollars than it could have been if the Democratic contention re- garding the methods that should be em- ployed for meeting State expenses were in force. We no longer have to pay locally the charge for caring for our insane, which in the nineties cost us ten thousand dollars a year, and would now cost us even more if the State were to shift the burden from itself back upon the counties. We save also twenty-odd thousand dollars a year additional by reason of having no direct State tax to pay, such as was levied upon us before the system of indirect taxation was developed. Then, further, we draw an- nually several thousand dollars more from the State for school uses than we formerly received, due to the dominating influence of up-State men jn the Legisla- ture who have insisted that the weak school districts should have a more gener- ous aid from the State. Yet further, the excise taxes as now applied give a benefit to every '• dry " town which it would not enjoy if these taxes were retained, as the Democrats claim that they should be, by the towns where they are paid. The Statefealso helping every town which will accept its aid to build and maintain its roads—a new service for which the credit belongs exclusively to Republican legislation and policy. If the Democratic idea of exacting taxes for the support of the State govern- ment by direct assessment upon the homes, the farms and the shops of the people were to be put into effect, the amount which Franklin county would be compelled to pay every year for this purpose would exceed $46,- 500, while now we pay next to nothing at all. One of the matters which the voters here are to help to decide next month is whether they will continue to possess and enjoy these benefits,, or will contribute to the surrender of at least a part of them by giving over the State government to the Democratic party. It is a matter of direot personal interest and moment to every man in Franklin county who owns a dollar of taxable property, and should be considered in determining how his vote will be cast. He can and probably will add to his taxes if he helps to elect Democrats, or he can keep them down by maintaining Republican supremacy. The Independence League, or so-called Citizens' movement, in Franklin county is distinctively of Democratic origin and direction, and every vote given to it will advantage solely the Democratic cause, and similarly be to the prejudice and injury of Republicanism and Republican polioies. It was born of the activity of John Kelley, a former chairman of the Democratic county committee, and the most eager worker that that party has bad in Malone in a generation; and it has been boomed and developed by Demo- cratic County Chairman Chapin, and a number of other gentlemen who are the extremest of Democratic partisans. Allied with them since the Buffalo con- vention surrendered to Mr. Hearst is an- other Democratic ex-chairman, Charles A. Burke. These men are simply trying to further Democratic interests subterrane- ously and by indirection as theje have never been able to do in open fighting under their own party flag. How many Republicans will permit these gentlemen to make tools of tnem ? There can not be the slightest claim in reason that the public interest requires the election of Mr/Hinds- to the As- sembly, of Mr. Gleason to be county treasurer, or of Mr. Burrell to be counf v clerk, or that any one of them has better qualifications, a broader and more genu- ine public spirit, or greater fidelity to a trust, than Mr. Matthews, Mr. Lawrence or Mr. Dudley. The cold logic of the case is that not one good reason based upon public con- siderations can be offered why any of these Independent League and Demo- cratic nominees should be preferred to their Republican opponents, or wherein the county would be advantaged in a single particular by their election. There is nothing whatever that Mr. Hinds, Mr. Gleason or Mr. Burrell s»ands for that the Republican candidates do not equally or better represent, nor a service which the county has occasion to have rendered that Mr. Matthews.-Jar. Lawrence or Mr. Dudley would not perform with equal or greater readiness and efficiency. Indeed, the situation might with fairness and accuracy be stated still more strongly without injustice or unfair reflection of any kind upon the men on the Demo- cratic ticket. But the PALLADIUM does not care to deal with the personal phase of the case at all, but only to bear it in upon tbe minds; Of men who are Republicans, with earnest concern for Republican suprem- acy, that the so-called Citizens' move- ment is absolutely and utterly devoid of the character sought to be given to it, and is essentially partisan and Demo- cratic. Ifc exists only to- aid William Randolph Hearst, and to advantage the Democratic organization in Franklin coanty. Republicans should neither countenance Professions and Practice. Denunciation of corporations makes up ajjreafcparfcof Mr. Hearst's speeches and of hia appeals to tbe voters in his news- papers, ana he professes to be virtupusly indignant at the tricks and subterfuges of corporation lawyers to make it difficult or impossible for persons having aright Of action against such corporations to ob- tain justice. But Mr. Hughes has shown thafcfche three newspapers in New York which Mr, Hearst publishes, and which he virtually owns alone, are technically the property of corporations, two of whioh claim that their liabilities exceed their assets. The fourth corporation is merely what is called "a holding com- pany," without assets of any kind except the stock of the other corporations of Mr. Hearst, which Mr. Hearst's attorney de- clares has issued bonds to the amount of a million dollars with which to purchase such stocks. The device of a "holding" company is distinctively a "trust" practice, and is employed to escape liability and for other purposes of eva- sion. None of these corporations pay taxes, notwithstanding that property valued at over a million dollars is controlled and operated by them, and through them Mr. Hearst is enabled to avoid any re- covery of damages against him for libel or other wrongs. In one case where he was sued the lower courts gave the plaintiff a judgment for $25,000, but the court of appeals set it aside upon the ground that the suit should have been agaii st the corporation and not against Mr. Hearst personally, though Mr. Hearst does in fact own practically all of the stock of the company. We thus have Mr. Hearst in the guise of cunningly managing his own business with precisely the abuses which he so virtuously professes to abhor, and so vehemently demands shall be reformed. A tax-dodger,- and an employer and benefioiary of corporate trickery, Mr. Hearst yet asks the people to believe that he is above all others a reformer, and is alone to be trusted to curb the abuses of corporations. Can honest men have any use for such a pretender and political fakir ? Brief Mention. The PALLADIUM stands uncompromis- ingly and aggressively for the continua- tion of Republican polioies and for the election of Republican candidates, both State and local. It proposes to speak earnestly in the matter, and yet with avoidance of anything that could be con- strued as a personal attack upon the men who compose the Democratic county ticket. It has no disposition whatever to challenge the character of the citizenship or the motives of Mr. Hinds, Mr. Gleason or Mr. Burrell. If these gentlemen pre- fer Democratic company and association to Republican affiliation, that is exclu- sively their own affair, and it is no one's legitimate province to ' criticise them therefor. But what it is altogether fair to urge is that, having gone over to the Democratic household', they have no rightful claim whatever upon- any Re- publican voter. If it were true that Mr. Matthews is incapable of satisfactorily representing the county in the Assembly, or that he had been, cr even might prove, false in any respect to the wishes and interests of tbe people, occasion mig'ht then exist for a combination of re- sentful voters to defeat him, or, fail- ing that, to administer (heir rebuke. Bu t there is no such pretense—Mr.- Matthews having been notably attentive to his official obligations, and duly responsive to every reasonable local demand or even desire concerning both home and publio matters. He has had experience, has developed a field of work wherein his study has made him especially expert and authoritative, and in the successful prose- cution of which all interests, and partic- ularly tbe farmers, in Franklin county are deeply concerned. There isn't a single question of moment to our people for which Mr. Hinds stands that Mr. Mat- thews would fail to represent them at least as well, and for the success of which he could not work more advantageously because of bis experience and acquaint- ance. A vote ought to mean something, and not be merely a useless compliment. No Republican who believes in bis party and wishes its supremacy maintained should even think of casting a ballot for Mr. Hinds, who in this campaign is a Democrat out and out, and wielding a club against Republicanism. it nor give it votes.

There are, however, in the Philippine Islands, as in other countries, well-to-do people, who; by reason either of their distance from pri- vate banks or of theie lack of confidence in them, hoard their savings in preference to depositing them in banks. To this class of people the Postal Savings Bank offers an absolutely safe place of deposit for any amount whatever exempt from all government taxes. Whatever pro- ceeds the bank may realize from these non-interest-bearing deposits will accrue to the benefit of the small depositors, for wihose welfare the bank primarily exists. A depositor in the Postal Savings Bank imay withdraw funds through any office of the bank in the islands, just as he mav make deposits to the credit of bis account through any office. Xa order to meet possible emergency cases the English provision, with some modifications, has been adopted, of permitting withdrawals to be made by telegraph. This is an im- portant pririlego for the depositor in a country Jiks the Philippines, where the lack of railroads renders communication by post at best very slow., No depositor ia permitted to mako. more than ,two withdrawals from Ms account daring any calendar month, and the bank reserves the right o t delaying the payment of deposits, if need be, for from two weeks to a month, according to the amount to be withdrawn.—^iwencan Monthly M view of Reviews for October.- A great future seems to be in store for Lake;Clear Junction, .There, is a move- ment on foot, whioh, if successful, will make this point an important railroad center.

Light frosts this year have been a little ahead of time, but for all that .farmers look for an open winter. The latter say that the birds are practically unprepared for winter, and tell remarkable stories of nesting for tbe past few weeks. Many have found birds'nests with eggs in them, and others where tbe young have just hatched out and are not yet covered with feathers. Most of these nests are on the ground and are evidently made by a small brown bird, which before has been knowntonest only in the spring. Farm- ers declare that this fall, nesting is a sure, indication -.of a mild winter, or even- warmer. Another indication of this is the large number of caterpillars which are in evidence. Everything out of doors seems to be covered with them and they are as active as on a warm spring day. Many other similar signs are quoted as indicating a warm winter,—ExchUnge. Does Mr. Gleason or anybody else make complaint that Mr. Lawrence is not a capable and painstaking county treasurer, performing aji of bis duties correctly, and serving the county usefully?

Again, does any one venture to suggest that theie iBthe remotest call from the standpoint of the publio interest tbar Mr. Lawrence be displaced, or that the county would be the gainer by putting Mr. Gleason in the office ? To ask the question is to. state its absurdity. Yet fuwher, would Mr. Gleason be training with the crowd that has nominated him if that same crowd were not in control of determination of the matter of buying from bjm water that he wantstosell for $10,000?

An attempt was made to rob the*- post- office at Mooers during Wednesday night of hjjSt week. The thieves were fright- ened away before they had time to blow open the safe. They secured the contents of the money drawer, however, which is said to have contained only a small sum of money. Two men are under suspicion, and their arrest is expected. The store of Andrew Ross, at Santa Clara, in which the post-office is located, was broken into on Monday night of last week. The thieves obtained an entrance by removing a glass from a window opening on the station platform. About $25 worth of canned goods were taken, but it is not believed any mail matter was interfered with. There is no clue to the burglars. The village authorities of Saranac Lake are contemplating the installing of a telegraph fire alarm system in that vil- lage, the purchase of a combination hose and chemical wagon and a hook and ladder truck. The erection of a suitable engine house is also being discussed. Should'these plans be put into execution it is more than probable that a reduction in insurance rates would be secured in that village. • On The St. Lawrence, a paper published at Clayton, says: We have entered into a contract with Rev. Bouck White, pastor of the Congregational Church, the terms of whioh entitle him to our regular advertising rates, to use ten iaches of space weekly in our columns in advertis- ing church matters. Mr. White has the right idea. Jt pays to advertise, and an increased attendance is sure to fojlow the liberal use of printer's ink. Fredrick G. Paddock was a classmate of Charles E. Hughes in the Columbia Law School in New York twenty-odd years ago, and tbe two, with four or five other congenial students, made a group of intimates whose regard for each other has continued unbroken, and who have renew ed associations at least occasionally, ever since. John A. Flanagan was a student at the same institution two or . three years later, when Mr. Hughes was one of his instructors. The Plattsburgh Press of Friday last has the following: " One man was killed and two badly injured at Lyon Mountain yesterday afternoon at about four o'clock. The accident occurred in No. five mine, and was caused by a drill striking an old charge of powder that had failed to ex- plode. The victims were all Polanders. Frank Vistura was killed, and the injured men are Joe Secora and Anton Borako. The two latter are seriously, but not fatally hurt, although it is feared that both, will lose their eyesight." On the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 19tb, at 3:30, the Rev. Dr. E. L. Sanford, of Ogdensburg, accompanied by tbe Rev. R. W. Brown, of Canton, and the Rev. D. B. Paterson, of Norwood, a committee ap- pointed by Bishop Nelson, of Albany, to advise with the people of Chateaugay re- garding the erection of a memorial church at this place to commemorate the life and works of the late venerable R. N. Kirby, of Potsdam, will meefr all persons connected with St. Paul's mission, to- gether with all tbe business men and women of Chateaugay who are interested in having a heautifui church in this vil- lage. This church is to be the gift of the whole diocese of Albany, and the people of Chateaugay will be expected to con- tribute only what they can reasonably afford.—Record, The value to a county of having a State officer interested in its affairs is easily equal to that which comes from having a representative in the Legislature, for a State official always has a large acquaints ahce with Assemblymen ana Senators, and his views and arguments go a long way in forwarding local bills. Julius M, Mayer, the present attorney-general, and Republican candidate for reelection, ass property interests at Saranac Lake, and f iends aiLof the time there from June to ovember that he is able to spare from his official duties. Whatever that section particularly of Franklin county might need and desire in the way of legislation he would be always* ready and eager to promote. Add the consideration that Mr. Mayer is a gentleman of the highest character, one of. the ablest lawyers in the-State, and also remarkably diligent in his official work, and the argument is conclusive that Franklin county should give aim an especially handsome rate. John B. McDonald, who built the sub- way in New York, and who was a mem- ber of Tammany Hall's genera) Com- mittee, has resigned that membership, and hassent a contribution of $1,000 to the Republican State committee. Mr. Mc Donald is one of the most reputable busi ness men in the State, and one of the fairest employers of labor. He says: "I believe that Mr. Hearst stands for the disorganization of good government, sound Industrial conditions, and free labor.,' that while posing as tbe friend of labor he is Its worat enemy; that his poli- cies, it adapted, wilt destroy confidence in the government, overturn established business, and produce a panic that will cause k halt in industrial progress, and, plunge the whole community into dis- tress. Under such circumstances those who will suffer the quickest and the most will be the working men, whose greatest rewards are received in prosperous ti«M?*. w To see by* electrical means the person with whom'.one is conversing; over the telephone-fa the purpose of a device an- nounced simultaneoosly by two different American iuvenfors, J. R. Fowler and William H. Thompson, who are keeping the complete details of the operation of their respective . apparatuses to them- selves, pending application for patents. Curiously enough, the name adopted by each for his invention is the " fTelewie." Gassier'* Magazine for October gives some idea of the nature of the device, but dotes that the scientist Nisco of Bel- gium has declared, after careful study of methods hitherto proposed for seeing at a distance electrically, that none of them fulfills tbe requirements of successful operation, From a non-technical de- scription of the present invention it would appear that a person seated «t a telephone, by gazing into a projection similar to a hand stereoscope at the side of the trans- mitter, may observe the outline of jfce features in their natural colors of the speaker at the distant end of tbe wire, or wires—there will be foot of them, but .eventually only two—used to accomplish 1 the whole operation. -
