"I have been a Republican since

people are willing to uphold this cor

John Wanamaker."

Mr. Jenks, in his speeches, has
clearly shown that he is unalterably
opposed to Quay and Quayism, and
never had and could not have, the re
motest sympathy or connection with
either. In a letter, over his own sig
nature, and in the sturdiest of speech
at Chambersburg, he has declared
that he never was professionally affili
ated with the Standard Oil company or
any corporation of any kind, except
once, when for a few months he was
attorney for a railroad company whose
road was established to market the
coal to the county where he lives. In
view of these facts, which are or ought
to be known to all men, Dr. Swallow,
Dr. Swallow's hired stumpers and the
Machine organs who do not publicly
and prominently retract the charge
that Mr. Jenks is a Quay man and a
Standard Oil man, convict themselves
in the eyes of all honest men, of wil
ful and deliberate falsehood.

An exchange remarks that " the
People's Bank developments have
added volumes to the Democratic
I campaign argument. They may also
add to the Republican majority in
the Eastern Penitentiary.
Every labor Representative and
|L Senator voted against the Hanna-Elk-
I ins-Morgan bond proposition in the
I,',' session last summer. It was unfortu
nate for labor that it had so few rep
resentatives. Don't let this happen
again. Vote for Polk.
Quay is having a very hard time of
* v it. Wanamaker and Swallow are fir
k r ing away at him, but now he is ar
rested for unlawfully using State's
funds. It looks as though he will
have to retire shortly. Verily, "the
way of the transgressor is hard."
l^ v During the past term at Harrisburg
J. Henry Cochran was always found
championing the cause of right and
justice, discountenancing all the mis
rule of Quay's henchmen, and as a
consequence was the recognized lead
er on the side of right, and shone as
one of the bright stars of his party.
| By all means return him.

Every year it is $5,000,000 for the
common schools, but the schools do
not get the money. It is withheld by
Republican officials to the damage of
our schools and for the private gain
of corrupt politicians. The common
schools, the glory of the people, must
be saved from the Republican Ma
chine despoilers, George A. Jenks
will protect the schools and the people
if the voters but do their duty.
The Sawyer Woolen Mills of Dover,
N. H., have just failed. These mills
have been in operation since 1823.
Mark Hanna should point to incidents
of this character as an evidence of
republican prosperity. He says the
country is more prosperous than ever.
Of course it is for Hanna, Elkins &
Co. But what about the people who
produce the wealth. Ask the farmer,
workingman and soldier boys.
The Democrats of the district are
united on Rufus K. Polk for congress,
In addition to polling the entire Demo
cratic vote he will make large gains
among the soldiers of the Twelfth
Regiment, Mr. Polk is an active,
progressive young man with a bright
future before him. He will make an
able representative at Washington be
cause his business interests have given
him a wide range of experience and
observation. Vote for Polk.—Milton
Record,
• Lieutenant Hobson, the hero of
Santiago Harbor, has made good his
promise, and has succeeded in raising
the ill-fated Maria Teresa, Admiral
Cervera's one time flag ship. The
wrecked craft will require the outlay
by this Government of two or three
millions of dollars to put it in first
class condition, but when once com
pleted she will make a valuable addi
tion to Uncle Sam's sea fighting ma
chinery, and will be worth a million
or two more than the overhauling will
cost.

A New Issue.
At last the Republican organs and
penny whistlers have found a campaign
issue. It is nothing of national im
portance. It is not some particular
affair of national legislation or policy.
It does not embrace something for the
good of the people, or anything for
the benefit of the state. It Is simply
and solely the alleged "abuse and vili
fication" of Candidate Stone.
Who has been abusing and vilifying
him does not appear. Perhaps the
organs and whistlers of Republicanism
would be hard pushed to name an
anti-Quay newspaper or speaker who
has abused or vilified the distinguished
standard bearer of Republicanism.
Nobody really knows of anything like
what is charged against Stone's politic
al opponents. But there is no real
issue for the Republicans to fight for
this year, so one had to be manufact
fired and the "abuse and vilification"
issue is the result of the labors of the
Republican artisans. And these fel
lows who are bewailing this altogethet
mythical abuse of their candidate are
the same ones who for two years have
poured abuse, malicious as well as
childish, upon William J. Bryan.
Mr. Stone is not the object of any
body's especial attention, much less
malice. He is not a free agent. He
is only a puppet. He stands for Quay
and Quayism. He is Quay's man. He
jumps as Quay pulls the string. If
elected he will be Quay's governor.
Therefore the campaign is not against
him, but against the machine he rep
resents and which unpatriotic Repub
lican organs support. He is an inci
dent, inconsequential in himself. He
may be politically white or black as
pitch; it makes no difference one way
or another, for his political purity
could not purify Quayism nor could
his political blackness make it blacker.
He is outside of the reckoning alto
get her.
The machine is being attacked and
Stone must take his chances with the
machine. It must be destroyed for
the good of the state.— Patriot.

THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA
Prof- doles' October.
Judging from the great sea of gas
eous matter that has been passing
over the sun during the past few
weeks, causing a reversal of the un
usual meteorological conditions of the
weatner, we have reasons to believe
that there is a stupendous freak of na
ture approaching that will destroy the
meteorological equilibrium to such an
extent that it will not be able to re
gain its balance in several months
thereafter, for the planets Saturn, Ur
anus, Jupiter, and Mercury will be
on one side of the Sun, and Neptune,
Mars, Venus and Earth on the other
side—in direct opposition—and the
cross firing of these planets over the
sun will cause a break in the gaseous
matter and let the pent up sun rays
escape to earth, causing unprecedent
ed heat waves and cold waves; air
quakes and earthquakes; hurricanes
and cyclones; tidal waves, destructive
floods, forest fires, etc. The greatest
break will occur, we think some time
between the ioth and 23d, but a con.
stant watchout should be kept for
there is danger in the air!
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
If the break in the gaseous matter
now passing over the sun occurs dur
ing the night time the Eastern States
will be flooded, but if it occurs during
the day time, then the Southern and
Western States will receive the great
est affliction. There will be sev
eral unusual sunset scenes, sundogs,
moon circles and northern lights. The
passing of the moon between two of
the brightest stars in the Heavens on
the evening of the eighteenth inst. at
good dark, will be a very pretty sight,
and no one should forget to take a
good look at him, should the evening
prove clear. If you have taken no
notice of the "bright star," now in the
South west, you should notice it at
once, even though you have to go up
on the hill tops to do so for this star
has a meaning that in due time will
surprise you. It can be seen in the
early evening only. When this star
reaches Sign Leo, down will go an
other ruler in the old country, and
America will also come to grief!
Fashionable Wedding at Danville.

six o'clock Wednesday evening at the

immediate relatives and a few friends
were present. Immediately after the

formance on the violin has made a
name for himself in this and other lo
calities. He is employed by the firm
of I Levy & Co. paper dealers, New

salesman. Miss Gross is the daught
er of one of our most prominent and
influential citizens, Mr. Henry L.

very estimable and accomplished
young lady.
