It Stares us in the face that the outstanding obligation of Sullivan County on the Ist of January 1902, amounted to $63,433,48, as follows: Bonds $38,000.00 Interest bearing 0rder5.20.052.90 .1 udgenients. 5.380.49 Total 803.433.48 The Commissioners are respect fully requested to inform the tax payers how much of this debt has been paid, if any, since the Audi tors' report was filed. « "The astounding street railway bill that the Pennsylvania Legisla ture has just passed, in observance to an order from "Matt" Quay, whereby every street as yet un occupied by rails in every city, town or village of the state is handed over to a company that may use them for any sort of transit it ehooses elevated, underground or surface— is the most villainous piece of legis lation ever seen in this country."— Scouten in Sullivan Herald, June 12, HUH. This bill was passetl finally, June l'.itll. It was bitterly opposed by Creasy, Paul and other Democratic members. It was on second reading June 4, 1901. It is interesting to know how Seouteti's man Rogers voted on this bill. The first amendment was ottered by Creasy: Rogers voted yea. The second amendment was of fered by Paul: Rogers voted yea. The third amendment was offer by Creasey: Rogers was out of the House. The fourth amendment was of fered by Creasy: Rogers voted Nay. The filth amendment was offered b\ Creasy: Rogers voted Nay. The sixth amendment was offer ed by Creasy; Rogers voted Nay. Rogers voted Yea, on final passage of the bill. Question. —Where did Rogers go when he left the House after the second amendment? Whom did lie see? Why did he change his mind ? With these facts before Sullivan county voters, do they think Scout en's man Rogers is a safe man to represent their interests if a rich corporation is on the other side? During the past week Hon. Fred. Godcharles, the Republican candi date for Congress in this district met with a royal reception in filoomsbnrg. His rooms at the Exchange Hotel, where he estab lished headquarters on Thursday and Friday were crowded by hun dreds of enthusiastic supporters. His candidacy appeals strongly to the younger element of the par ty. —Bloomsburg Ev. The Cross Forks News, a weekly paper at Cross Forks, Pa., changed hands last week, Oliver W. Grim formerly of this place is the new editor. The first issue was a breezy number and claims to be one of the independent family. If future issues continue as good asthe first, it will have a good list of subscrib ers to draw upon for revenue. That Scouten is in mortal fear of the popularity of A. L- Dyer, is evidenced by his last week Her ald. Sucli a crazy jumble as his leading editorial is seldom seen. First he puts on a patronizing air. "Friends of Dyers don't vote for him; he has a good business; lie is making money; his election will confer no honor on him. He is a good fellow, don't ruin him by voting for him." In the next sen tence he insinuates that his dear friend Dyer has got a plum: that awful Doctor Christian has given him a plum, and behold the result! Dyer is being led around by the nose, by a doctor who is dead be yond a resurection. And further Dyer has been infected by an in halation of the dead doctor's breath and that has made him the dead doctor's tool: and last of all his dear friend Dyer is hiding all of this rottenness behind his smiling countenance. If the man who writes such non seuce as this keeps out of the insane asylum until election he will do well. A. L. Dyer was unanimously nominated by as large and intelli gence a convention as ever assem bled in this county. 1 lis character for honesty and business ability has never been questioned. It is simply an outrage to attack him in this manner which Scouten has adopted. In answer to the question askeil in another column as to whom it was Mr. Rogers saw when lie left the House after the third amendment was offered by Creasy to the Corpo ration bill, it may he his explana tion that he consulted with the ghost of lienry Clay. It will be re membered that in his speech at liu porte, Mr. Rogers? said that lie was j a great admirer of the great "Henry" aild was striving to follow in his footsteps. Hut what argument did Henry's ghost use which persuaded him to change his mind and vote along with the rich corporation? Mr. Scouten probably knows. Our popular candidate for Con gress to fill the unexpired term of K. K. Polk, is a gentleman of strict probity and sterling charac ter, liis word is his bond and has never gone to protest. It is little wonder that all classes are falling into line to help elect him for the very important position lie now seeks. He stands out boldly as a creditor to his party, never having received reward for the valued services rendered, lie lias labored from a slate picker up to a busi ness man of prominence. He is a worthy citizen and should have your vote. The Republican party workers are lining up solidly to give Hon. F. A. Godcharles a handsome ma jority. The general impression is that he is the man for the place, when compared with his opponent. In the industrial centers of the dis trict such as Shamokin. Blooms burg. Milton. Berwick. Mt.Carniel and Watson tow 11 the healthiest kind of a sentiment prevails. This is better understood by the labor ing classes, and they are making a desperate attempt with their united forces to place their friend of labor. Fred. A. Godcharles in the halls of Congress. Their prefer ence for him has that decisiveness that signifies much. This, too, at the home of both candidates, in Milton. Here where he is best known the whole community honor him for the many good acts he has gone through with for their benefit. He is. as is well known, at the head of a big manufacturing concern and the hundreds of men who have at one time or another found employ ment have discovered in him a square man. He has toiled since childhood both in securing an ed ucation and establishing a business, and therefore knows the worth as reward of labor. No better com pliment could be paid him. for a man who takes good care of his em ployees surely is a man.and in these days there are many who do not. Mr. Godcharles is needed in Washington next term of Congress. He is competent and will be a cred j it to represent the voters of this i district. John D.

If we have bis spirit, we shall express his spirit. No man can be iilled with the life of his Lord and manifest the spirit of the devil.—Rev. L. A. Craudall, Bap tist. Chicago. The Rock of Salvation. The vital principle of the Christian church is that the religion is founded upon Christ, the rock of our salvation. See how the religion of Christ spreads and increases, even as the tiny mustard seed, from Christ through Andrew to Simon, and so to the world.—Rev. E. O. Moore, Congregationalism Provi dence. R. I. Chr! N tln ll'M I'ne of Money. Giving money is a part of man's re ligious life and a test of character. Money is not only the standard of value—a man also is valued by it. The ■world values a man by his money, and so does Christ. The world asks, How much does a man own? Christ asks. How does a man use his money? The world thinks most about money that a man gets, Christ most about money a man gives. And wbeu a man gives the Worlds asks. How much has he given? Christ asks. What was his motive?— Rev. Dr. John 11. Prugh, Reformed Church. Pittsburg. The >'«lilrnt Arlntoeracy. To belong to the church of the car penter of Nazareth is to be of the no blest aristocracy the earth can have. Life is of far higher meaning than just making a living. We common mcu need not be just earning aud eatiug. We may be living in the truth and walking amid the Inspirations that came into that life of common labor there in Nazareth. That is one thing the fellowship of the church of Christ should inenu- that we partake together here in the t,r patesl things God has.— Rev. Pearse Pinch.

The Penrose Republican Club of Phil adelphia Is the first political organiza tion In the state to donate funds to the striking miners.

On Wednesday last Senators Quay j and Penrose called on President Baer. j of the Heading Railroad, and tried to persuade him to lend his influence ! towards ending the strike In the an- j thracite region. The senators explained that they had j received thousands of requests from all 1 over the state, asking them to inter- ! cede with the president of the Reading Railroad to end the struggle. To this j Mr. Baer replied with a type-written j statement setting forth thp operators' j side of it. A general discussion en sued, but President Baer refused tore- j treat from the position he had taken, : and the conference was without defi- j nite result, although Senators Quay and Penrose urged every argument at their command.

No man or woman has a right to take a class iu the Sunday school when a Sunday school class is being neglected at home.
