Such vandalism is the product of criminal instincts and the strong hand of the law should fall with a heavy stroke to curb it before more serious offenses are committed. —Former Vice President FAIRBANKS handed out another of his frapped gems at Indianapolis, on Tuesday, when he said: “There is much hysteria abroad in the land and the watchword should be down with the demagogue and up with the patriot.” Will the Colonel take this as a joke or the real thing. It has a ring like the latter. ~The price of mules in the anthracite regions has gone up steadily so that a good one now costs three hundred dol- lars, whereas in 1901 the best could be bought for one hundred and forty-five. Of course there is a difference between a mule and an ass and that is the reason there are so many of the latter running loose in the land that no one would take as a gift. —How do you like the selection of THOMAS GREEVY, of Altoona, to fill the vacancy on our ticket for Lieutenant Governor? He has always been against the GUFFEY-HALL crowd, as you call it, yet he is given the second place on the ticket. Why? Because he is a strong man and would make a good official and that is the reason the others on the ticket were placed there. —Secretary FRANK MORRISON, of the American Federation of Labor,called Joun K. TENER an arrogant and scornful traitor to the laboring classes while in Congress, and TENER reddened under the charge, but said not a word in his own defense, He knew it was true and that is the rea- son he sat mute and ill at ease on the platform before thousands of laboring men at the dedication of the Labor Tem- ple in Pittsburg on Monday. TENER is the bosses candidate because he has al- ways done what the bosses have told him to do and the well informed laboring men know it. ———————— —Mr. JouN K. TENER, who is known to our people, or to those who know that such a person exists, only because Mr. PENROSE has made him his candidate for Governor, says, “the PAYNE tariff law is the best tariff measure that has ever been given the country;” while Mr. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, who imagines he speaks for the Republican party—minus its crooks—declares that “itis a failure and should be changed if its to benefit the people.” Who will dare say, hereafter, that there is no harmony of sentiment or unity of purpose among those who repre- sent, and work their hot-air machines, for the G. O. P. EE ———————. ——Ex-congressman PACKER, of Tioga county, who has been recognized as an Independent for years, declines the ap- pointment of Keystone committeeman for this district. He sees the folly, of those who are honest in their desires and ef- forts to defeat the Machine, fighting among themselves and throwing away their votes on a third party and will have none of it. He knows how hollow the pretenses of the Keystone party are, when it claims that it is going to carry the State. He understands the kind of a bunco-game that is being played in the interest of the Machine and he washes his hands of the results. In this matter Mr. PACKER has shown a level head. EE ——————————— TE — —MADISON F. LARKIN, the Prohibition | by J. C. Harper, D. Paul Fortney and I. J. ' Dreese, as conferees, aud the selection | of Dr. Stewart was unanimous. In fact no | other name was considered. | Dr. S.C. Stewart, the new nominee, is | a native of Bradford township, Clearfield ' county. He was born fifty-four years ago | and comes from good Scotch-Irish Pres- | byterian stock. He was brought up on a | farm and received his early education in | the schools of Bradford township and of | Curwensville borough, where Dr. Gregory was one of his teachers. Later he grad- uated from the Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, at that time being twen- ty-four years of age. Since that time he has been practising his profession and is recognized as one of the most able and successful medical men in the county. Previous to his graduation in medicinehe taught four terms in the public schools, two terms in Clearfield county and twoin Lancaster county. Dr Stewart is not only prominent in his profession, being county medical inspector,and one of the promoters of the Clearfield hospital, but he has al- ways been recognized as a progressive and public spirited citizen, having served three terms as burgess, and is now serv- ing as school director of Clearfield bor, ough. He is interested in forestry, good roads, preservation of the purity of the streams, agriculture, in fact, has been in- terested in anything that tends to pro} mote the welfare of the public. He is em- inently fitted to fill the office to which he aspires. If elected the people may rest assured that their interests will be well cared for. Dr. Stewart has always been a Democrat and is well known in both Clearfield and Centre counties. ~——Republican chairman WALTON an- nounced to a party of admiring friends in New York the other day that his candi- date, TENER “is showing himself to be a great runner.” Judging from his start off at Charleroi last Saturday, if he can keep up that gate he'll come down the political home-stretch in the same position and at about the same speed that a hobble- skirted woman would in a 2.10 race. ~——Mr. EUGENE BONNIWELL, who has been the chief Democratic blower of the Keystone horn has announced that he has “left the Democratic party for good.” What a pity! That poor old organization will be disturbed by his withdrawal just about as much as is the sea, when you draw your finger out of its water. ———From the tone of his speeches our old friend, candidate BERRY, has been making the past week he must have work- ed pretty big blisters on his disposition already. And this too early in the begin ning of the campaign and the “worst yet to come.” ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. LINGLE—~Mrs. Thomas Lingle died quite suddenly at her home in Blanchard last Thursday morning.

Charles Sechrist is not improving very rapidly. He has been ill with typhoid fever for over three weeks. Owing to the rain on Seturday last the M. E. Sunday school had no picnic, much to the disap- pointment of the little people. Allour merchants report a fair business during last month. Commercial agents stopping off here report traffic on the road as being somewhat light. Politics are very quiet. Even where people most do congregate, at the postoffice, very little is said; possibly it's the calm which precedes the storm.

Baum, of Reading, was here last week visiting relatives and friends in the valley. Charles Smith, of Altoona, was also here visiting his parents. The goose bone and potato skins have already been consulted by the wiseacres and weather prophets for the coming winter.
