BY P. GRAY MEEK. TR TT TS Ink Slings. — Dr. WHITE is a dentist not a physician. —The trouble with statesmansbip in Pennsylvania is that everyone wants to be State’s man. —JonxN C. ROWE has served you well in the Recorder’s office for one term. Give him another. : —Elect MILLER and BAILEY again and you will put another mill onto your taxa- tion. They can’t get away from it. The Gazette said “MILLER and BAI LEY wouldn’s be so foolish as to do such a thing.’” They did it, however, as the Democrat proved last week. —What is needed now is an expert ac- countant to figure out how the present Board of Commissioners are going to make ends meet without raising the millage. —The very best reason that the present Board of Commissioners should not be re- turned in office is because they have been both imprudent and extravagant with the public money. —From the way things are looking in Pennsylvania just now there is a certain PLUMMER who will be as bad off for a job as the ice man by the time November 7th comes around. ‘—It ever there was a gentlemanly fellow, ‘one who is courteous and affable all the time that person is HARRY JACKSON and he is juss the kind of man who would make a useful Register. —NERo fiddled while Rome was burning, but that wasn’t any worse in ite $ime than are the men who eat peanuts while a good company is presenting as beautiful a play as the Sign of the Cross. —The trouble with the hunt for a fusion candidate for Mayor of New York seems to be that [every person sought for is of the opinion that Mayor McCLELLAN is as good a man as New York can hope to find. —-Vote for PLUMMER and a monument in capitol park for QUAY and an endorae- ment of the plan of getting part of the money for it by cutting off a thousand dol- lars from the puny appropriation given the Bellefonte hospital. —Let us see ! What were those stories of a war between Russian and Japan that were * filling the papers some time ago and what was the trouble all about? So many other things bave crowded into public notice that I had almost forgotten the incident. —When the County Commissioners and Treasurer’s offices are turned over $o new men there will be revelations that will sar- prise you, for then there will be revealed the expenaes that have been concealed and disguised fot the past three years. —Over in Cambria county they bave a county tickets made up of a PEACH, a GREEN and a SUNSHINE. What a combi- nation of names for a pleasant campaign, yet rumor has it that the SUNSHINE won’t either hurt the PEACH or make the GREEN blue. —MILLER and BAILEY have been sit- ting around in the Commissioners office every day charging up their $3.50 to the county. They are after the farmers to vote for them now, but put them in office again and there will have to be an increas- * ed millage to pay the county expenses. —My, how Pittsburg did kow-tow to the country editors this week. Nothing was to good for them. But then Pittsburg is very like the country editors: Not too stilted to recognize a good thing when it crops out. In fact that is what has made Pittsburg the great commercial city she is. —O!f course it was a regular business transaction for Senator PENROSE to borrow $10,000 from shat Turtle Creek bank, but do you imagine that Senator PENROSE would ever have known that there is a bank in Turtle Creek if $10,000 of the State’s money bad not been deposited there just a short time before be asked for the loan. —When Messrs BAILEY and MILLER ex- plain to the Grangers of Centre county why they have [their pionio ‘ground at Centre Hall valued eo much higher than the ad- jacent f farm land and learn to treat the Grangers civilly when they call to know’ the reason, then—and nné ’til then—will they have any right to ask the Grangers to sappors them. — The Indiana woman who aroused her husband from what was supposed to be death by a shriek of sorrow went and spoil- ed it all, for as soon as it was discovered that he could probably recover she went off into aswoon and is likely to die herself. If he does get well now he will never be able to live down the suspicion that she died of regret rather than of sorrow. —When Senator Boy PENROSE referred to the fall of the Roman Empire because its soldiery was no longer made up of the honest yoemanry of the country, but was composed of hirelings, little did be think of the analogy he was painting for the farmers of Centre connty at Grange park, Centre Hall, last week. His illustration could not have been more applicable to the sitna- tion in Pennsylvania. It is the hirelings in the Republican machine in Philadelphia and Harrisburg that is bringing about its fall. As long as the. honest men of that party were in control the government was pure, but as soon as the politicians of for. tune began to gain control then the cor- ruption began that will end in November with the fall of the machine. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION, VOL. 50 BELLEFONTE, PA., SEPT. 29, 1905. Mr. Castle’s Grave Charge. At a meeting in Harrisburg, the other evening, HOMER L. CASTLE, Esq.,of Pitts. burg, wade the startling statement thata bank in Allegheny county,of which he was a director and a solicitor, had obtained a considerable deposit of state funds from the State Treasury upon the agreement that half of the amount would be loaned to Sen- ator PENROSE and a Pittsburg politician with machine attachments. Daring his brief visit to. this county the other day, Senator PENROSE entered an emphatic and somewhat profane denial of the assertion. But since that Mr. CASTLE has renewed the allegation und reinforced it. That is to say, he has given the name of the bank, the date of the transaction, the amount of the deposit and the loan, and offers the books of the bank and other documentary proof, including court records, to sustain | his accusation. HoMER L. CAsTLE Esq., is neither a phantom nor an irresponsible. He isa member of ex-Governor STONE'S law firm and the Prohibition candidate for Justice of the Sapreme court. He is an able law yer, an eloquent orator and a gentleman of” high character. More than that be isa man of property and a gentleman of respon- sibility. If he has maligned, vilified or li- beled Senator PENROSE, the State Treasurer in commission at the time of the alleged transaction or the Republican machine he can be punished by criminal process or made to render reparation in damages by civil action. In other words, he is too con- spicuous to ignore and too substantial to neglect. Failure to hold him to account, if he has misrepresented facts or individu- als, is a confession and avoidance. But in either event it confirms the statement of the accuser. In the absence of legal proceedings against Mr. CASTLE, therefore, there is le- gal presumption that Senator PENROSE has been using the funds of the State for per- sonal profit and that the estimate of Seore- tary of State Root shat the Republican ma- chine is composed of ‘‘criminals masquer- ading as Repu blicans,’”’ applies to him as well =s to his associates in the management of the Republican organization. In faot the failure to prosecute Mr. CASTLE clear- ly implies t bat the Republican machine of the State has been using the funds of the State, needlessly’ taken from the pockets’ of the taxpayers, to supply favorities with capital to ‘conduct their personal business or defray the expense of their political op- erations. Iu either event they are violat- "ing the law and the ‘election of J. LEE PLUMMER to the office of State Treasurer will continue the crime indefinitely. Maintain the Honor of Centre County In little more than a month one of the most important elections of recent years will be h eld in this State. = We can con ceive of no more important civic ob- ligation than that of rescning the State Treasury from the control of the ‘‘crimical combination masquerading as Republi- cans’’ in Pennsylvania. For years they’ have been burdening the people with ex- otbitant and unnecessary taxes in order to maintain a vast surplus in the treasury for use in bribing voters and debauching elec- tions. This machine is tottering in various sections of the State and if its candidate for State Treasurer is defeated in Novem- ber it will be completely extirpated. The Democrats of Centre county ought to have a full share in this glorious work. Of eoarcely less importance to the peo- ple of Centre county is the matter of elect- ing the admirable local ticket of the Demo- oratic party this year. The political record of this county is one to be proud of. Since the ante-belium aberration called the Know Nothing craze, Centre county has been almost uninterruptedly Demccras- io. An occasional deviation has resnlted in the increase of the expenses of the county from about $65,000 a year to nearly $95,- 000, and notwithstanding an extraordinary development of resources and enhancement of values, an increase in millage and per capita taxes to meet the extraordinary ex- ‘penses they have placed upon the county must follow the temporary victories of the Republicans in our local government. We should this year rescue the county from the evil of machine rule and make the victory 80 overwhelming as to guarantee endurance. The people of Pennsylvania are aroused now as they have not been for many years. From the Delaware to the Lakes an enthu- siastio force is moving onward to victory for Democracy and improved government. Centre county should not lag under such circumstances. The splendid record of the Democracy in the past in this county should serve as an inspiration to the Dem- ooracy of the present and under the im- pulse of duty and hope an old time ma- jority should be given to every candidate on the ticket. . The candidates are worthy of such a victory and the best interests of the people will be conserved by it. The conditions are favorable aud if every Dem- ocrat in the county performs his duty the result will be achieved. Andrews Invites Crime. Chairman ANDREWS, of the Republican State committee, has adopted the methods of chairman CORTELYOU,of the Republican National committee. That is chairman ANDREWS is soliciting the head of corpora- tions to contribute other people’s money to his corruption fand to debauch the voters of Pennsylvania. In other words, he is urging officers of National banks through- out the State to loot the banks in order to swell his campaign fund and giving as a reason for the criminal operation that Mr. BERRY, the nominee of the Democrats, LINCOLN Republicans and Prohibitionists, voted for BRYAN and that his election might result in the free coinage of silver a$ the ratio of sixteen to one. Of course that is a subterfuge just as CORTELYOU’S appeal to the life insurance companies was a frand. The real reason which Mr. ANDREWS has for asking the managers of National banks to contribute to his corruption fund is in the fact that ‘‘all banks look alike” to Mr. BERRY, and that the banks to which the appeal is made having been Chairman favored by the machine may lose the favors’ if the machine candidate is defeated. To secure the banks in a continuance of the favors, therefore, chairman ANDREWS asks the officers of them to rob the share- holders of their share of the profits of the business in which they bave been engaged and donate the amount to the corruption fund to debauch the ballot. It isa oriminal proposition made in the interest of crime and should be resented by every honest man in the Common wealth. In fanoy it creates a case for the considera- tion of the courts. The State Treasurer of Pennsylvania has no more to do with fixing the character of the currency than the man in the moon has with regulating the lighting the streets of Bellefonte. Therefore in addressing such a letter to the bankers of the State chairman ANDREWS insults their intelli- gence or asperses their character. In either event it is the duty of the bankers to re- sent the outrage put upon them by a cul- pable agent of a corrupt machine and if they fail to do so they acknowledge ignorance or venality.- There is no alternative. If they comply with the request to contribute the shareholder's money they commit a crime. If they fail to resent the insult they en” courage others to crime. We know one banker who bas integrity and courage to do his duty. We have the circular sent to him by chairman ANDREWS. City Party's Grave Mistake. The City party of Philadelphia has failed to measure up to the full standard of its obligations. It bas nominated an excellent local ticket. Its candidates for Sheriff, Coroner and Commissioners are men of the best type and highest merit. Naturally and properly the Democrats of the city have endorsed the excellent gentlemen named. But the City party has not adops- ed the surest methods of achieving the purposes which its leaders profess to aim for. That is to say they have not, thus far, aimed a vital blow at the machine by adopting the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer against the machine candi- date for that office, J. LEE PLUMMER. The citadel of the machine force in Penn- sylvania is the State Treasury. The fail- ure to elect the Sheriff of Philadelphia will probably be a disappointment to the graf- ters of that city. The loss of the Commis- sioners’ office there would be an inconven- ience, no doubts. But as Mayor BERRY, the able and eloquent candidate of the Democratic party for State Treasurer said in his speech of acceptance, the State Treas- ury is the “Two-hundred and Three Metre Hill”? of the political situation, and if the machine loses that it is defeated over- whel mingly and perpetually. From such a defeat it will never recover and at least some of the leaders would view the wreck through the bars of prisons. We have frequently referred to the rake off from the deposits of state funds in banks favored by the Machine. It amounts to a vast sum and forms the nucleus of the State Machine. But the preservation of that fund is not the only or even the great- est reason why the Machine managers not only want to but actually must retain the State Treasury in their hands. The faot is that a considerable portion of the vast bal- ance in the Treasury is like the voters of Philadelphia, purely phantom. In other words a large part of the $10,000,000 re- ported to be in the Treasury at the last statement is made up of over due notes I. 0. U’s and other evidences of indebted- ness given by Machine politicians for funds abstracted from the Treasury for use in personal operations. This is why the Ma- chine must elect its instrument, J. LEE PLUMMER, and because of this the City party of Fhiladelpbia has so far made a grave mistake in not endorsing the nomi- nation of W. H. BERRY for the office. It is not too late yet for that party to do the right thing. NO. 38. Wait and See. The Gazette's column leader last week on the firmness with which Centre coanty is standing to the Machine was really a good joke. A great triple head told that Cen- tre county Republicans had nothing in com- mon with the LINCOLN party movement for reform in the State, but the article it- self failed to state a single fact or theory about the situation in the county. It was all a compilation of a PENNYPACKER speech, with a quotation from BULL AN- -DREWS thrown in; both of them beautiful specimens of political purity to quote. The Republicans of Centre couniy will scarcely take much stock in the sayings of a Gover- nor who could approve a bill to build a costly monument to QUAY and at the same time cub a much needed $1000 from the paltry appropriation given their local hos- pital. They will pay no heed, whatever, to the utterances of Bull ANDREWS, one of the most notorious political corruptionists and ringsters the State ever produced. The Gazelle will be surprised at the LIN- COLN movement in Centre county when it comes to compile its election statistics for its issue of November 10th. The hones, fearless Republicacs who are not seeking office, have no axes to grind or friends to look after are seeking the opportunity to lift their party ont of the slough of corrup- tion is has been dragged into by a gang of criminal rascals who are masquerading as Republicans. = They need no brass bands, nor torch light processions to tell them what to do. The same spirit is dominant am ong them here that prompted the forty thousand to turn ont at a special primary in Philadelphia recently and record their votes against PLUMMER, There is no oall for them to show their strength just now in Centre county but as a very representative Republican said to the writer after seeing the Gazetle's attempt to bolster np the ma- chine, ‘‘they will see that there are hun- dreds of LINCOLN Republicans here when the votes are counted.”’ Pay Poll Tax in Time. No human agency san defeat the Democratic party in the approaching elec- tion except the Democrats themselves. That is to say, the tide of public sentient is so overwhelmingly toward - the Democracy that" unless the Demoorats fail to qualily or neglect to vote Mayor BERRY will be elect- ed by a good majority. Take Philadelphia, for example. We all know that is a Re- publican city. Every reasoning man under- stands that on a square issue in politics, candidates being equal and conditions nor- mal, the Republicans would have a vast majority. But that is not the condition with respect either to candidates or condi- tions. It is freely predicted that Philadelphia will give Mayor BERRY a majority and this estimate is based on expressions on the sab- ject by business men. It is true that in other years there has been dissatisfaction ‘among the business element in the city and large numbers of them have voted the Dem- ooratic ticket without perceptibly alter- ing the returns. But the purging of the reg istry liste and the withdrawal of police protection from the criminals will make a vast difference, for there will be no phan- tom or fraudulent voters to take the places in the ballot boxes of those cast for Mr. BERRY by the business men. The one thing that remains for Demo- crats of Centre county and of Pennsylvania to do to guarantee success is to see that every voter has his taxes paid before the 7th of October. No matter what else has been done, however careful the voter has been in fulfilling all other conditions to qualify himself to vote, if his taxes have not been paid within two years prior to m idnight of October 7th, he will not be able to vote. Thus the failure of victory will be upon him or in the event of victory without him, he is cut out from participa- tion in the enjoyment of the triumph. We hope no Centre county Democrat will be delinquent in this respect. Who is the Ass? During the recent personally conduot- ed tour of our County Commissioners to Atlantic City the conductor, WM. BUCHAN- AN had the conducted, Messrs. BAILEY and MILLER, have their pictures taken in hath- ing suits on the sand. In the group was the well known bridge contractor, ABRAM V. MILLER, JOHN G. BAILEY and one of those little animals that the children ride 80 much at the shore. Some call them burros, some donkeys, and some Rocky mount ain canaries, but the popular name is ass. Now the question that has risen in the minds of those who have seen the picture is as to what conductor BUCHANAN go$ our ‘‘easy’’ Commissioners to pose with an ass for. They wonder whether he put it in to represent the Commissioners themselves or whether it was symbolical of the people who elected them. ——Such weather as we have had this week gave the coal men the opportunity to lay the ice man in the shade. Philadelphia’s Quickening. From the New York Globe. With a powerfully-supported anti-boss tickes in the field, and with the registry lists disinfected by the elimination 75,- 000 fictitious names, Philadelphia is to have the first real election in many years. ‘‘Phil- adelphia has been corrupt,” said Mayor Weaver to the 916 delegates -who marched through the rain to the City Hall, “‘bus whether she bas been contented’ will be determined next November.’’ In this utterance Mayor Weaver glanced at the condition which has given Philadel- phia such unenviable notoriety. Other cities have had their ‘‘boodle’’ gangs, bus they bhavestruggled against their domina- tion,and when things became too bad have turned them out. Philadelphia has been so steadily sorpid, hae heen indifferent to evidence of corruption, that the opinion bas grown that her electorate is shameless and actually prefers dishonest government. It is agreeable to have this impression re- ¢ ‘|'daughter, Susan W., to Watson Hubbard moved. : _ The oredit for the present promising up- rising against what Secretary Root called a ‘‘corrupt and criminal combination mas- querading as Republicans’ is primarily due to Mayor Weaver. Not a great man, nor a man of lofty ideals, and originally a nominee of the ring, he has shown what a little leadership can do. Not the stuff out of which organizers of large movements are made, he showed simple, plain integ- risy. When a orisis arose, aromnd the nucleus of his honesty the inchoate honesty of the oity quickly orystallized. That there should have been such * precipitation in a community apparently so completely complaisant to the boss system lights hope everywhere. gow Where Do Poor Folks Come In, From the Richmond Times Dispatch. The confession of Mr. Perkins is not ex- actly startling, because the public were satisfied that contributions were made, bus it is somewhat startling that such things can be and not excite our wonder. Mr. Perkins rather boasts of the fact that this contribution was made, declaring that it was conscientiously done for the good of the company. ~ ‘‘This payment,” said he, was made after very careful deliberation. It was paid because we felt that the assets of the New York Life Insurance company would be jeopardized by Demooratic suoc- cess.” The contribution was made as a master of business. It wattered not about the political principle involved. It mas- tered not abous the political the stockholders and policyh company. The great majority of them may have been Democrats and may have desir- a the election of acral . nominee or the presidency, but Mr. Perking decid- of LUALLIS was in Che AOR OE Preis oom. pany that the Democrat be defeated and that the Republican be elected, and so he took nearly $20,000 of the company’s mon- ey and tarned it over to the national Re- publican committee to be used in behalf of the Republican nominee. But that was all business, yon know, and that’s where the danger comes in. If the ‘“money power’ can control elections and can control legis- lation, what is to become of the poor folks? The Gang and the Ungagged Press. From the Everett Press (Rep.) The Philadelphia Inquirer, whose editor holds a publio office by the grace of the gang, is the only paper that has anything to say for Machine rule in Pennsylvania as against the independent movements. In Pittsburg the Republican Leader and the Republican Dispatch and The Republican Times and The Republican Press have all demanded the withdrawal of the gang can- didates for the State office. . Only the gang controlled Pittsburg Gazette and The Chron- icle Telegraph are out for the Machine. If one takes the time to ascertain the facts, it will be found that every paper, not owned by an office-holder by the graces of she Machine, is against the gang in this State. Every Independent Republican newspaper —and the ones from Philadelphia and Pists- burg are mentioned especially on account of their wide circulation—has taken a stand against the dictation of the bosses. The county papers throughout the State have taken the same stand, with the excepsion as above stated, of those whose editors hold a public office under the Machine, and they have evaded the issue and have refused to publish facts. : A Platform to Be Studied. From the Evening Bulletin. To the author of authors of the platform of the City party itis in order to tender congratulations for the production of one of the very best documents of its kind ever submitted to the people of Philadelphia. It would be well if a million copies of it were struck off at once so that it may be sure of getting into the hands of every man who can read and think. It ie of the sors of doctrine to be not only read, but mark- ed, pondered and inwardly digested. As a presentation of the reasons which justified the existence of the new party and of the purposes which it will endeavor to execute it goes to the very marrow of the issues which are now before the voters. The Government of the city of Philadel: will take front rank in the municipali- ties of the Union if the people shali adopt that platform now and hereafter as their permanen$ rule of action in their home affairs. ——The Evening Observer, of Dunkirk, N.
