A3J0T HEE TEEM TOE CLEVELAND,
Editor Columbian,
Sir : I do not know, nor does any
man know who will be nominated by
the Democrats at Chicago. If Mr.
Cleveland should be, there will be
muttering and growling and howling
by the Republicans about what they
will denominate a third term, in will
ful forgetfulness of the fact that they
tried their best to give Gen. Grant
three successive terms, and of the
further fact that the nomination and
election of Mr. Cleveland would not
be thiee successive terms.
But even if it were, no man will
contend that the people of the United
States have, by any law or usage, cut
themselves off from calling to their aid
and making use of the services of an
honest and honorable and trustworthy
man for as many terms or years as
they may choose to employ him.
Such a usage or law would be foolish
in the extreme.
In the Legislature, in Congress, in
the Senate of the United States, no
such rule exists, and it is well known
that the lonsrer a man remains in his
place, the more efficiently and satis-
lactoruy he can perform all the duties
devolving unon him. Mr. I5e..ton
was for thirty yerrs in the United
States Senate, consecutively, and
many gentlemen have been in the
lower House almost as long. Mr.
Monroe filled every legislative and
executive office, from the lowest to
the highest. Mr. Adams did almost
the same, and returned to Congress
alter his presidential term.
The people will insist upon having
competent public servants when they
can get mem ana keep them for twe
terms, or three or five if they choose,
and no party cry shall balk their
humor. At present. Mr. Cleveland
seems to be the logical Democratic
candidate, and the "Up.terrified De
mocracy" will be very likelv to sav so
at Chicago, and if they do they will
go in and win. John G. Freeze
A New Crptaia.
The Republican p.irty of this countv ha
a new captain, and one who is taking the
jlrsin his own hands, with the purpose of
unving the team. Congressman Kulp is
now the boss, and to him all who want nomi
nations or party preferment must come.
For many years L, T. Rohrhoch, of Son
bury, w the captain, and with the help
of his lieutenants in Shamokin and Milton
directed the party's welfare. Two years ago,
in a thoughtless moment, Kulp was nomi
nated for Congress, with the only idea of
turning down Captain Gable, who was, in
the eyes of the party management, getting
too fresh. Kulp got the district nomination,
and then the election. For a time Kulp
listened to the "Old Commander," but find
ing he was stronger than the poer that
made him, made up his mind to drive him
self and let the old crowd ride.
Hi latest move was to force the election
of James, of Montour county, as one of the
National delegates from this district instead
of Geyer, of Columbia Senator yuay want
ed Gever, but Kulp said "Nil" and his man
was elected. There is a storm of protest in
Columbia county, but Kulp is driving the
wagon, and in this county he is dashing down
the hill, with no break on, and the old crowd
inside and afraid to jump. "Northumber
land County Democrat."
"PERSONAL BEWSPAPERINO.
The modern newspaper is a power for
good or evil It is the great university from
which the masses of the people draw knowl.
edge and by which they are educated to
think and form opinions. When this power
is delased the consequences for evil are in-'
calculable.
The growing tendency manifested in cer
tain newspaper offices to impale upon the
point of publicity the personal character of
mer. in public life is a tendency which, if
persisted in, will destroy the power for good
lodged in the clean newspapers.
Fake journalism is in no manifestation so
abominable as in its reckless disregard of
personal sanctities. To satisfy a prurient
craving for the most sensational features of
life, these sheets, some of them boasting
circulation, do not hesitate to invade every
human relation and to hold up in winged
paragraph and pointed innuendo the moit
sacred privacies. It is little wonder that
men shrink from an honorable contest for
public oSu-e when they realize that they may
become the victims of one of these all too
many newspaper vultures that infest the
earth. Criticism of men or methods is ad
missible, nay, imperative, but the line should
be drawn agninst the invadon of a man's
personal life unless in absolute defense of a
public principle.
There is a spirit of invidious personality
apparent in much that passes for great news
paper enterprise in giving even the news.
This spirit should be watched, and no mis
taken sense of journalistic courtesy should
prevent the honest newspapers from entering
an emphatic protest against its overindul
gence. Fakeism ought to lie driven from every
newspaper office. Just as we socially debar
an unworthy and unclean man from our
omcs, ought we to demand that the meu
ho conduct our journals shall be men of
onMt and virtumit thnnrht anil anion Th
editor who will invade the personal life of a
man in order to find sensational "new,"
and the publisher who will lie about his
circulation and deceive to gain business, are
on a par. nnd both should be whinlashrd out
of a profession that, second to none, needs
loneat, trutn-tciung directors. "fcx. '

The Indiana Convention instructed for
McKinley last week, and it is conceded by
Quay's friends that this practically settle the
controversy as to who will be nominated by
tne tvepubiican party at St. Louis.
If the senator takes the advice of friends
here he will withdraw and throw his support

the nominee ol the st. Louis convention in

LOFEZ IN DANGER.
Last week a fire raged for several days in
Fairfield township, and now comes the news
that tires near Lopez. Sullivan county, are
destroying valuable timber. Several large

A forest fire raged Monday along Lycom

railroad, and Monday the flan.es c'eitroyed

LOSS AROt'ND BKt.t.FF"NrE.
Fierce forest fires are racine in the Alle
gheny and Kittany mountains about Belle
fonte. While the flames are mostly in the
interior of the mountains, considerable anx
iety is felt by property owners who live on
the outskirts. The loss so far will reach
thousands of dollars, and there seems to be
no way of stopping the flames. There has
been no rain for several weeks, and conse
quently larce timber tracts bum up in a
short time.
Manv lumbering camps are in danger, and
the different crews have abandoned their
work and are continually fighting the fire. It
is leared the flames will reach the extensive
lumber lands of the Beaver Lumber com
pany, on which are millions of feet of valu
able finishing lumber.
Illegal Fishing-
In years gone by the Susquehanna
has been more famous, perhaps, for
the many and open methods of un
lawful fishing than for the good fish
ing which it supplies. Last season
the angling fraternity worked early
and late attempting to prevent the
pirates from depleting what ought to
be one of the greatest angling streams
in the east. The fish wardens did
what they thought was good work,
the members of the Pennsylvania
Fish Protective Association were at
it early and late, and all over the
state private individuals took it upon
themselves to keep an eye open for
violators of the hsh laws of the state.
As a consequence it was thought the
beginning of the end was reached and
that in the course of time the pretty
Susquehanna would be clear of the
many devices employed to catch fish.
Now, however, these fish pirates have
broken out again. These seine fisher
men sweep their seines in the eddies,
where the fish are spawning at this
time of year, and capture them by the
hundreds. Of course the spawn is
destroyed, so that it is only a matter
of time when there will be no fish to
catch unless the state appropriation is
used to propagate more, and when
these are dumped into the Susque
hanna along conies the pirate with his
seine again, and he scoops out the
fish by the wholesale.
Even Noah Advertised.
Noah was the first man to advertise.
He advertised the flxxt and came
through it all right. The fellows who
laughed at advertising were drowned
and it served them right. Ever since
Noah's time the advertiser has been
prospering and the other fellow is
being swallowed up in the flood of
disaster. Moral : Don't get swallowed.
All Eave Tteir Pur
Everything in nature indulges in
amusement of some kind. The light
nings play, the winds whistle, the
thunders roll, the snow flies, the rills
and cascades sing and dance, the
waves leap, the fields smile, the vines
creep and run, and the buds shoot.
But some of them have their seasons
of melancholy. The tempests moan,
the zephyrs sigh, the brooks murmur,
and the mountains look blue.
