The Gazette and a few notables with their ‘“Macheavllian heads’ are not the ‘‘Republican party’’ of our county. Ifor one consider it an outrage to judge, in this manner, of the intelligence of our county people.

Centre County and Philadelphia, Ot course Democrats of -Centre county can sympathize with the tax-ridden and practically disfrauchised people of Phila- delphia. For many years the reputable citizenship of that city bas had no voice in the municipal government and they, have been taxed enormously and excessively to feed the rapacity of the favored contract: ors who have heen preying on that com- munity. There is a strong temptation, - however, to dismiss the subject as one in which we have no concern. In other words we would be clearly justified in assuming that it is the fault of the people of Phila- delpbia that they are despoiled mercilessly, for the reason that they are wanting in the civic virtue which commands respect and consideration. But after all, how much better are we, - of Centre county, in that respect than the | people of Philadelphia. Centre county is as firmly and securely Democratic on a full vote as Berks. Every time that the Democ- *ru0y has failed to elect its complete ticket the default bas been attributable to Demo- cratic {apathy or supineness. Every timé the Democracy has failed to elect its full ticket, moreover, in this county, the peo- ple have been obliged to pay a penalty. in enhanced expenses of government and con- . Bequently in increased taxes. Therefore in Centre county we aie as culpable as the people of Philadelphia who permis an atrocious machine to plunder and despoil | ¢p “that community. : : "There is absolutely no reason why the en- tire Democratic ticket should not be elected in this county this year. The candidates of the party represent the best of our splen- did citizenship. Each one of them mens- ures up tofthe Jeffersonian standard of fit- ness. That is to say they areall honest and capable. On the other hand the Re- publican candidates for County Commis- sioner are under suspicion and their ad: ministration of the office has been of doubt- ful character, to say the least. Under such circumstances Democratic defeat means a lack of civic virtne among the. people. In other words if we fail in thisecivie duty we are no bester than the people of Phila- delphia who aie described fitly as ‘‘corrupt aod contented.’’ i ——— ——Have you a tax-receipt for this year yet?

There is great confusion of thought on the subject of *‘reform within the party.” It perplexes men on both sides, Many party men say they are working for ‘‘reform that.is not what they are working for at all. Many reformers say they don’t believe when that isnot what they don’t believe in at within the party,” “when The whol trouble grows out of a failure to discriminate between ‘“‘party’’ and ‘‘organization.”” The two things are entirely distinct.

Whatever other steps have been taken in preparation. fora vote for the rescue of the Treasury of the State from the machine, will be lost if taxes have not been paid within two years upon an assessment made sixty days before the coming election. In view of this fact the reform Republican says he doesn’t believe in ‘‘reform within the party” ‘ means that he doesn’t believe in reform within : We believe earnestly in true “reform within the party” -be.accomplished by the great body of true Republicans who will vote against the mask and decoy city ticket whose election would reinstate he only the organization—that the Durham- cannot be reformed but must be cleaned out.

In a speech formally opening the Repub- lican campaign in Ohio, of that State, inferentially read the riot act to President ROOSEVELT, on Saturday last. In fact he sabstantially declared that the policy of the party in the immediate future will be precisely what President RoosE- VELT declares it won’t, and ous of this vast difference in opinion and purpose there Senator FORAKER, | principal duty of the present is not only to ought to grow some popular amusement <failing to elect the Democratic ticket ‘in | pay your own taxes, but to see that every | { | Treasurer and our equally deserving local Democratic neighbor has paid his. ! The poll tax is a small price to pay for e.invaluable right of suffrage. No man who justly estimates the worth of the privi- | lege of voting will fail on account of neglect | to pay the trifle which is assessed against him as a poll tax. The defeat of the candi- dates of the Democracy will cost him vastly more, however poor he may be. Therefore as a measure of economy if the spirit of patriotism and principle has not touched bim, he ought to qualify to vote at the coming election. There must be satisfac. tion in participating in the rescue of the State from the odions Republican machine. We appeal to the Democrats of Centre county to assert themselves on this occa- sion, Our splendid candidate for State ticket should inspire us to our fall duty. But we will not be qualified to perform our full ‘duty unless we have paid our poll tax within the time preseribed by law, which expires next Saturday night. What Demo- crat in Centre county is so deficient in patriotism as to neglect to pay this small sum ? We don’t believe there are any and we are confident that the records a week hence will justify our confidence. daring the next several months. In other words, Senator FORAKER asserts’ with char- acteristic energy and emphasis that there will be no legislation during the next ses- gion on the subject of railroad rates or tariff revision while ROOSEVELT alleges with equal confidence shat both subjects will be considered and disposed of. ..We_ aig very much inclined. ‘to imitate the woman who climbed up on the roof of the woodshed to watch a deadly struggle between a grizly bear and. ber husband and expressed indifference as to the result in contemplating this approaching struggle between the President and his party. The balpable merit of the President’s attitude on the tariff question wonld naturally in- olize thoughtful observers to favor him But whatever impulses in that direction arise are speedily discouraged by his absurd ambition to hamper the industries of the country and disarrange commercial condi- tions by seizing control of the railroads ‘and investing some fellow like CORTELYOU with infinite power to do barm in the regu- lation of rates, FORAKER is rarely right in anything 2 | made’quite a momentous one. while the President is so inconstant in his: policies that he can’t help but get on the right side occasionally. We would sug- ‘gest, therefore, that these emotional gen- tlemen address themselves to the task of working out a compromise of their differ- ences. That is to say, FORAKER might throw all the energy and fervor of his na- ture into an effort to prevent the President from taking control of the railroads while the President is working with equal force and assiduity to secure such revision of the tariff as will measureably lighten the tax burdens of the-people. Each could ease up a little on the pet purpose of the other-and thus both secure a triumph without impair- ing the interests of the country. + DF OCT. 7th. “BE Do yon ask what ahout it ? i Ite the last ‘day that you can pay-your State or County tax, in order to secure -| your vote this fall.

F. Fortney in regard to the putting down of a sidewalk along north Thomas street, down past the old Thomas estate. Upon investigation no recofd was found to show that that thoroughfare had ever been legally opened as a street, though it bas been in use long enough to make it a public road. Mr. Fortney suggested, however, that an ordinance be enacted Jay- ing it out as a street and widening it so that there will be room enough for a walk. Conncil discussed the matter but took no final action. i A communication was received from the Pennsylvania railroad company . stating that they would pave High street from the Race bridge to the corner of P.

MoCLINTICK.—Ong, by one the old landmarks are passing away‘and this time it is with deep regret and heart- felt sorrow that we are called upon to chronicle the death of thas most estimable citizen of Lamar, Clinton county, Mr. Andrew J. McClintick, who died Tuesday night of last week of diseases incident to old age, being but a few days less than 77 years old. Mr. McClintick was one of the most sub- stantial citizens of the township in which he lived. Almost all his life he followed farming until his advancing years rendered it necessary to quis active and hard work when he retired to a pretty country home in: the suburbs of Lamar where he spent the last few years of his life in peace and comfort. ! The Great Reaper is a merciless harvester and when he mowed down this estimable citizen it was to take away one whose whole life was worthy of emulation. A man whose loyalty to bis fellowmen ‘made him beloved by all who knew him. A man whose whole life was above reproach, a most loving, kind and indulgent husband and lather. In. politics he was uncom- promisingly Democratic, one who regarded the political arena as the battleground for 8 purer, better and grander government power. In religion he was a Methodist, one with bis doctrine and bis teachings. Surviving him. are his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Samuel Bucher, of Okla- homa, and Mrs. Harry. McCauley, at home; also two brothers, Samuel, of Cedar Springs, at two o’clock Saturday afternoon from the services and interment was made in the S. Paul cemetery. - The pall-bearers were the six nephews of the deceased, Jobn and I. H.T. Shearer, and William I., Charles, George and Elmer MoClintick. I Ek died at the home of his son, near Penn Cave, Tnesday morning of last week, after an illness dating back over a period of six months. Deceased was a ‘native of the South side and was seventy-eight years of age. Most of his life was spent in farming until the last few years when he retired from active work. He was always a pro- gressive and wideawake citizen, much es- teemed by al! in the community in which be lived. : : His wife died a number of years ago but he is survived by four sons, Josiah C., of Penn Cave; Lewis E., Howard F. and Harvey D., all of Spring Mills.

Falling barometer, rising temperature, growing cloudiness and return to autumnal rains, will result at this period. The western tangent, or the last part and windup of this and other October periods will bring spurts of snow and early touches of winter over the north- ern sections, followed hy northerly winds and clear frosty nights in central to south- ern states, The third storm period is central on the 14th, covering the 12th to the 16th. On and touching the 13th, the change to warmer will be marked in western parts. The barometer falls to low readings, and decided storms of rain, turning at the last into sleet and snow, will pass eastward- ly over the country during Friday the 13h to Monday the 16th. High gales over the great lakes and along the north “Atlantic will attend’ the rising barometer ‘pushing these storms from the northwest. Heavy frosts with freezing in the north, shading into lighter frosts and freezing * far south- ward, will succeed the storms of this period. Seismic shakes will be natural in many parts of the globe, on and about the 13th. The fourth storm period is central on the 19th and 21st. The probability is that disturbances will be moderate at this Sime. The temperature. will rise and the barometer fall, with . cloudiness and light, autumnal rain and snow. Change. to fair aud cooler progressively from wes$ to east, ‘behind the light distarbances of this period. fo0e oot ha Wiad va va The fitth storm period reaches from the 24th to the 29th. It 1s central on the 25th, but its culmination will not be reached until about the 28th. By the:26th a radic- al change to warmer will be in progress, with probable lightning and thunder. Low barometer with continned tendency torain and storminess ‘will lead up to the 28th, on and about which date general and’ de- cided storms, first of antumnal rains, later merging into snow in the north, may be counted on.’ Some ‘high gales on land, lake and sea will come with the rising barometer behind these storms, all ending in a rather decided cold wave for October. On and near the 28th very high tides and seismio disturbances will be most natural. Se Gl essen CURTIN M. E. CHURCH REOPENED—The Methodist church at Curtin was reopened Sunday, October 1st, after some extensive repairs had been made some weeks ago. The weather was fine and the services good with large congregations. At 10:30 a. m., Rev. J. W. Forrest,a former pastor, preach- ed a most acceptable sermon from the text, Romans 8:32. After the sermon Col. Austin Cartin, one of the trustees, made a state- ment of expenditures and what bad been done for the money expended. Rev. Forrest then asked for a contribution for the amount needed aad in less than three quar- ters of an hour more than two-thirds of the sum was subscribed and much of it paid ‘in, when meeting closed for the noon hour, At three o'clock Rev. Mr. Cox,Evangeli- cal minister of Bellefonte, preached a very practical sermon, taking for his text the ‘“Widow’s Mite.” No appeal for money was madeas that service. In the evening, after'a service of song, Rev. Forrest again preached from Hosea, 6th chapter, 1st and 11th verses. Another appeal was then made for money: and in a very short time ‘more was snhsoribed than was asked for and the meeting closed with the hymn,,’ “Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow.’’ < The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Carver, Presbyterian minister of Milesburg. who was there to take part in the exercises of the reopening, and had opening prayer at the evening made the service. Bad ant How Daring all the exercises the very efficient choir, ' with Miss Alice Neff presiding at the organ and Howard Neff leading, ren- dered the musio in such a way as to please all the congregation.
