All of our roosters flew the coop,
Quite early Wednesday morn;
They knew they’d all be in the soup,
The news was so forlorn.
—All signs fail in dry weather.
—Look out for the big crops next year.
McKINLEY'S elected.
—Hurrah for FREDERICK ROBB. They
didn’t heat him anyway.
—There must have been something in
that harmony deal after all.
—We stili have the consolation of know-
ingthat we are not alone in our sorrow.
—1I¢t eosts money to run the Republican
organization, but then it must be run.
—The world is full of people who say
they will when they mean they won't.
—*“Accidents will happen in the best
regulated families.” We had ours last
Tuesday.
—Did you ever try to throw a bull by the tail,
Or some other stunt, as funny,
It’s like being up against the full dinner pail
And Mark Hanna's trusts and money.
— ALLISON will vote against QUAY in
the General Assembly, but what will
THOMPSON do ?
—Silver seems to be dead in a large terri-
tory of the country, but we are still receiv-
ing it on subscription.
—It is evident that chairman REEDER
is a more sagacious political manipulator
than ex-chairman GRAY.
—RICHARD CROKER hasdecided toleave
for Europe. How lucky. The rest of us
have to stay here and grin and bear it.
—HALL is the only oasis in the great
political desert in which Democrate in this
county find themselves strandéd today.
—Now watch ‘“Me and Taisy and Tash’’
trying to get their ‘‘hooks’’ onto all the
credit for the Republican victory in Centre
county.
—WANAMAKER’'S $50,000 in Philadel-
phia must have been used to buy votes for
the machine, rather than to detect its
frauds.
—It will be the right thing now when
you want anything about Harrisburg to
make your application to ex-Governor
HASTINGS.
—The fusionist Democrats and Populists
have won out in Nebraska and BRYAN will
probably be sent to the Senate from that
State, if he will go.
—It rained the next day,
Some people say,
But I thought it was tears
I was br ushing away.
“Whatever ¢lée Deniosiats may be com+
pelled to do they need not be expected to
work themselves tired hurrahing over the
result of the election. Ny
—We can scarcely see any excuse for
paying two men salaries as Representatives
at Harrisburg, when one fellow will have
all the say in what is to be done.
—The Hon. DoN M. DICKENSON says :
‘Let us reorganize the party.’ It certain-
ly needs reorganization bad enough, but it
needs to be rid of such selfish ingrates as
DICKENSON far worse.
—Get together, Democrats. We're
lookin’ like thirty-cents now, but our
friends have promised to keep the dinner
pail full for four years more and we’ll hold
them to their promise.
—The money question is given as the
bugaboo that scared thousands of men,
who claim to be Democrats, away from
Bryax and it is altogether likely that the
money question will scare both Republi-
cans and Democrats before the MCKINLEY
shot for the Philippines Cuba and Porto
Rica is paid. °
—The dinner pail's full (2)
And might is right (?)
' Boss HANNA must rule’
A | Though freedom takes Hight.
—Our only hope seems to be: in Alabama,
Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Ken-
tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi. Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Caro-
lina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
and Virginia. They sound like quite a
few when all together, but they were only
enongh to give Bryan 160 votes in the elec-
torial college.
—The Democrats of Centre county have
a splendid lesson ‘before ‘them. The im-
portance of getting ‘every vote to the polls
on election day could not have heen made
more emphatic than it was on Tuesday.
There are fifty-four ‘election precincts in
Centre county and it will be seen that two
stay-at-homes, in each precinct. would
make a change of one hundred and eight
votes, or enough to defeat our ticket. The
sooner Democrats: come to realize their
personal responsibility, the sooner. there
will be, an end of eatastroplies like Tues-
day’s.. 11
—The French iol from Sclmyder
county who promenades under the nom-de-
plume of ‘Me’ in the editorial firm of “Me
and Taisy ‘and Tash’’ somehow or other
got the better of the brains of the outfit
last week and kicked some of the mud ‘off
his “hind” feet in the direction of sheriff
BRUNGARD. The town laughed because
it knew that neither ““Taisy”’ nor “Tash”
were asses enough to talk about anyone
being “tight” when the whole country
knows that a flax seed couldn’t be knocked
through the hide of their partner with a
sledge hammer.

What We May Look For.
The inside pages of the WATCHMAN tell
all there is to tell, at this writing, of the
result of Tuesday, so far as preside ntial
and congressional elections go. Boiled
down it shows that the Republicans have
re-elected their President, secured control
of the next Congress and can fairly be held
responsible for the policy, actions and work
of every department of the Federal govern- |
ment for the next four years.
It is not such’a result as we had Treason
to hope for, nor is it calculated to rejoice
| the great class of people who were striving
for the welfare of the masses as against the
power and greed of wealth.
To speculate as to the whys and where-
fores of this result is useless. Each in-
dividual will determine for himself the
reasons that brought it about, and each
will doubtless be right, as far as his opinion
goes. All should however, accept the decis-
ion as cheerfully and as philosophically
as it is in their power to do, for worrying,
complaining or growling about it will
make matters no better.
That we. are in for whatever four more
‘years of HANNAISM will bring is certain.
That we are to be ruled by trusts; that we
are to continue on in the road that leads to
imperialism; that the flag is to be made
paramount to the constitution; that great
combinations of wealth are to be encourag-
ed ; that war and tariff and taxation are
to continue, and that the oppression and
impoverishment of the great mass of the peo-
ple is certain to go on, are facts that we
must reconize and be prepared to meet.
The people have voted for these and
these are what» we will be give them.
No Easy Job.
It is to be hoped, now now that the election
is over, that the interests of the people and
the preservation of the honor of the gov-
ernment will dominate the efforts of those
who have been successful. There is room
and a pressing necessity for much ‘to be
done and it is no light load of responsibili-
ty that rests upon the shoulders of
those who are shouting over their success
of Tuesday.
Cuba is still without a fixed or stable
government, and millions of dollars are
monthly being wrung from. the people of
this country to maintain the conditions
| that exist there.
Porfo Ricans, who by their own actions
made themselves wards of this government,
in the hope that their condition ‘would be
| bettered, are experiencing a situation that
makes them worse oft than the serfs of
| Russia.
Hawaii, with’ her lepers and her overflow
of cheap Asiatic labor, is a threatening
menace to the people of our Pacific coast,
as well as to the interests of workingmen
in whatever section of the country they
may be.
The fruitless, wicked and asielil war
in the Philippines, that is making a libel
of our Declaration of Independence ; mur-
dering our citizens by the thousands and
creating a sink hole for unlimited millions
of American money, must be. brought
to an honorable close, if an honorable close
can be given to a dishonorable effort.
_ Complications in China and disputes in
Alaska add to the disturbed conditions
that the incoming administration must
meet, and when we consider the seriousness
of any one of the problems arising out of
these questions it can readily be under-
stood that it is not a bed of roses that
awaits the jubilant host of Republicanism.
The people have voted that they shall
take these matters in hands, and it is the
| earnest desire of every good citizen, now
that we know wlio is to control the desti-
nies of this government for the next four
years, that the work of doing justice to the
people of the different islands whose wel-
fare we have made ourselves responsible
for, as well as that of protecting the inter-
ests of the American people and the spirit
of our institutions be begun at once.
The County.
People with short memories will imagine
that the result of the election in the coun-
ty was a great Republican victory.
When they come to think back a little
and remind themselves of the fact that
since 1897 the Republicans have carried
the county almost as often as the Demo-
crats have, and at two general elections
since then have had much larger majorities
than on Tuesday last, the result will not
seem so overwhelming after all.
In 1888 the county was carried against
us on the Legislature; in 1894 both Repre-
sentatives were secured by the Republi-
cans, and in addition to these, and within
the years specified, they have elected a
sheriff, two recorders, two boards of county
commissioners and carried the connty once
for their nominee for Governor, and once
for President, so that Tuesday’s result is,
after all, neither astounding nor should it
be. discouraging.
Four years ago, MoKINLEY had a plu-
rality in the county of 410. This year
that majority has been cut down to 345
and the very small majority secured for the
Republican legislative ticket only goes
to - prove what the WATCHMAN tried
to impress upon the Democratic voters
of ‘the county during the entire
campaign, that in order tosucceed it would
take every man to do his duty and require
the full Democratic vote of the county to
be polled.
That this was not done can be seen by
the fact that the Democratic vote falls 325
short of that polled in 1896, while the Re-
it been possible to have aroused the Demo- |
crats to the necessity of getting out every
vote possible, Centre county would still
be in the Democratic colamus. Notwith-
standing the sell out that will forever dis-
grace the political record of south Rush |
township. :
It was not done, however, and there, is
no use of fault-finding- now. Bickerings
or complaints wonld not mend matters.
Mourning over what might have heen done
will not change the situation. The only’
thing we can do is to accept the result as
philisophically as we can : take the lesson
that the figures of the election show, that
the county is still Demoeratic, and make.
up our minds to redeem and keep it per-
manently so in the fature.
This can be done by each one of us doing
our duty, and by commencing that work.
publican vote is in no way increased. Had |
Greatly to His Credit.
A lecture on close-fistedness and au at-
tempt to ridicule the people of the county
who were born of German parents,” wonld
come with a much better grace from one
who had shown some signs of liberality
and could speak the English language bet-
ter, himself, than from the thick-tongued,
niggardly individual who controls the
| Gealtte. Last week that paper showed
exactly what it is here for in a dirty ats
tack on sheriff BRUNGARD, because he had
its columns. It is an advertisement that
the Commissioners pay for out of the coun-
ty treasury, and the Sheriff. as was his
duty. published it in the namber of papers
required by the law, and in no more. Be-
cause this official refused to add to the
cost of this publication, a hundred dollars
or more for the benefit of the Gazetie, the
editor of that paper shows his own greed by
making public complaint that he was not
recognized, and his innate littleness by an
attempt to sneer at the great body of hon-
est Pennsylvania Germans in the county,
as well as at his own parentage.
It is not necessary for us, or anyone else,
to defend sheriff: BRUNGARD in his refusal
to uselessly squander the public money.
For doing as he did every tax-payer in the
county will give bim credit. ‘He is not in
office to feed newspaper men or any other
favorites at the expense of the people of the
_county, and the dirty sneer of an individ-
val, who lives only to pocket what he can
get out of the people and the public crib,
‘will neither harm nor lessen him in the es-
timation of the taxpayers.
The action of the sheriff in saving this
money to the county is to be commended,
and the cry of the Gazette will be to the
public. in whose interest Mr. BRUNGARD
has acted, simply as the squeal of the pig
‘who nose has been kicked out gi the swill
trough.
——Mr. JERRE ZEAMER, after twenty-
two years of arduous and intelligent work
on the Carlisle Volunfeer, retires from the
control of that paper and is succeeded by
Messrs, BossLER and GEHR, two active
and promising young Democrats of that
locality. To the newspaper profession in
Pennsylvania Mr. ZEAMER's retirement,
if it is to be permanent, will be a great loss.
He is a trenchant writer, a most industrious
worker, and as frank as he i is honest i in the
expression of his views. During his long
‘connection with the Volunteer: lie kept it
constantly iu’ the front rank of country
journalism and maintained for it a stand-
ing as an influential advocate of Demo-
cratic principles that few papers ' through-
out the State enjoyed. From’ the profes-
sion we are sorry to loose him, and earnest-
ly hope that the time may not be long
until he is back in ‘the harness” again,
helping to redeem Pennsylvania from the
it. That the Volunteer’s new publishers
may. find their. position both a profitable
‘and pleasant one and that they may be
able to improve over even. Mr. ZEAMER'S

The New Battle for Democracy.
From the Philadelphia Times on the Morning
after the Election.
The re-election of President McKinley
in the face of the general condemnation of
his policy, is the fullest jtstification- of
the battle the Democracy has made in de-
fense of popular rights—a battle that be-
gins anew to-day and will continue until
itis won.
The enormous concentration of capital’
under corporate control. has - e the
-dominant-power in this country:
trols our Legislatures; it: «controls; the «Da-
tional government. Ii controls our elec-
tions. . Through its countless channels of
influence, by corruption, intimidation and
misrepresentation of! every kind, it has
compelled the election of its chosen candi-
date against the deliberate judgment of
the American people.
This is the solemn truth which the peo-
ple have to face to-day. Mr. McKinley's
re-election is not a sign of popular approv-
al. That he does not command, as candid
Republicans will themselves admit. Dis-
guise it under whatever name, if is the
achievement of the money power alone, that
has tyrannized over the popular judgment
and, whether by fair means or by foul, has
prevented the free expression of the popu-
lar will.
Imperialism in goverment goes hand in
hand with this tyranny of meney, that
finds expression in the Trusts. The peo
ple have not approved; they have been
overawed. The false ery of danger to
“business interests’’ has terrified and
coerced men against their judgment,
against their interest, against their convic-
tions of principle, and the concentrated
power of a great political organization con-
trolled and guided in the interest of the
few against the many, has prevailed against
the higher aspirations of American Dem-
ocraey-
Serious as this situstion is, the patriot
will face it with fresh hope. The eam-
paign of misrepresentation and false pre-
tense is ended. The new campaign begins
to-day, in which the truth will prevail.
It will not be denied that thousands voted
for McKinley yesterday who are earnestly
opposed to the conduct of his admimistra-
tion and to the policy. the tendencies and
the influences he represents, yet whose
judgment was overborne by fictitions fears
of dangers they were told mightcome from
a change of power. Such fears can no
longer be appealed to. The Republican
party is again put on trial before the peo-
ple, and if it persists in its contempt for
constitutional restraints, it must Pass
swiftly to its own destruction.
The Democratic party in Philadelphia
and in Pennsylvania takes up the chal-
lenge and beginsthe fight to-day. The
city is to be redeemed from the control of
handed robbers; the State is to be redeemed
from the power of a corrapt machine; the
principles of American liberty pel
again proclaimed as the basis of our Fu
tional . prosperity. Released from the
tyranny of prejudice and fear, the people
will respond to the appeal, and imperial-
ism and commercialism in polities, made
more reckless by their seeming success,
will be beaten and destroyed.
This is the battle that. Begins to-day.
And it. will be won. ;
—It'is awlully funny for our Repub-
lican friends in the county just now; but
it will be adeal (of a sight funnier for them
‘when it comes to the election of a United,
‘States Senator next January. It will be
then that ex-Governor HASTINGS will feel
the funniest if THOMPSON should fulfill the
promises he made to the other fellows to
vote for QUAY, and the other fellows
will feel excruciatingly funny if he should
make good his promise to HASTINGS to
‘vote against him. There may bea good
deal of fun in the situation for some peo-
ple now; hut it ain’t a patchin’ to what it
will be a little later on. Just wait and
we'll all bave a langh out of it.
