I believe it will be for the best interests of the party to follow the old-established custom of giv ing this office to the south side ev ery third term. I wish to thank uiv friends for the encouragement given me. John S. Mensch, Bloomsburg, Pa. Admiral Dewey will reach New York about October 1st. The Democratic Staie Conven tion will be held at Harrisburg on June 14th. Lycoming County Commissioners have notified the assessors to levy the tax of $1 on all bicycles. The American line steamship Paris stranded on the rocks off Fal mouth, England, last Thursday, and all efforts to get her off have thus far tailed. ine passengers and baggage were removed without accident. The indications are that Hon. W. T. Creasy will be nominated as the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer. Columbia county has always been loyal to the party, and it is a long time since she has been houored with a state office. The Little Red School House Must Suffer- Papers throughout the country, as well as the educational interest and it is an interest prolessionally and financially are vigorous in criticism of the lopping oiTof nearly a million and a quarter dollars from the usual appropiation for school purposes in Pennsylvania. On its face it may be a retrograde step, but there are good reasons in the way of an explanation. It simply results from the extravagance and jobbery in state government that has been going on for years, and for which the Republican party and its accept ed bosses are exclusively respons ible. We heard nothing of this kind when Robert E. Pattison was Gov ernor and guarded and protected the financial interests of the Com monwealth with ability and integ rity, even hampered as he was at all times by a hostile Legislature. If Geo. A. Jenks had been elected Governor we are confident that nothing of the kind would have occurred. A leading Republican paper of New York declares that the reduc tion of the school funds ;s a fitting sequel to the operations of the Quay treasury ring, and repeats facts well known in this State that the scnool funds were diverted to pet banks to be loaned to ring favorites. As a matter ot tact ana s a single in stance the hundred thousand dol lars that the late State Treasurer directed should be loaned out of state funds deposited in the People's bank to the Quays was part of the school funds of Pennsylvania and in this way: At the time there was default in the payment of the school quota to the counties and instead of this $100,000 and many other thousands being applied to that pur pose, it was loaned to politicians and speculators on the orders of the Republican bosses. For years the school fund was plundered by these people or distributed as a reward for personal and factional purposes, The counties, deprived ol the state quota due them, were forced in some cases to issue bonds to borrow money; in others the school year was cut down, and again in others the pay of teachers was reduced And all the school funds could be used for speculative purposes by machine politicians and speculators, or if they did not so use them, they shared 111 the interest contracted to be paid by such rotten banks as the People s fcr state deposits. Those very Republican politicians who have been raiding the schoo funds of Pennsylvania have been at the same time posing and mak ing capital and votes as the partial lar advocates and champions of "the little red school hois;." No state 111 the Union, unless some of the Southern States under carpet bag and negro rule, can match this debauchery of the public conscience nere in Pennsylvania. And it is in progress to-day, as county after county is voting confidence in boss Quay by electing delegates to state convention to nominate anoth er candidate for State Treasurer to his liking. Pittsburg Post. Mr. Henrie Makes an Attempt to Make Denial. Eut It Does Not Deny. Since preparing my circular, Mr Henrie, my opponent, has prepared a reply, in which he says the cir cular is malicious and false. He says he was loyal to the party last fall and traveled in various parts of the county for different candidates, before the general election. Now I ask you to read my circu lar carefully and find if you can, where I charged hnn with being false to the ticket at the general election. What I accused him of was simply this: That after Judge Little had carried this and Montour counties at the primaries, by an overwhelming vote, and when Judge Ikeler died, leaving no other candidate in the field except Judge Little, then this man Henrie went into' Montour County and helped Herring and Rhawu to debauch the 1 Democratic committee, and suc ceeded in having that committee in struct for Herring. Thatallgthrough this corrupt and dcHjcratc attempt to force Herring upon the Demo cratic ticket, Henrie disregarded the rights of judge LUtle and the wishes of the Dcnuicracy by insist ing upon Herring's nomination. I did not accuse him of being for Scarlet, but I did accuse him of try ing to force Herring on the party, and had he succeeded, Scarlet would have been elected by yxo majority. This all Democrats know to be true. He says: "Instead of being a Re publican as alleged in Tcrwilliger's circular, I used every influence in my power to the loyal mipiiort of the Democratic ticket," i did not accuse him with being a Ucpubli- SWAM?- Is not recommended for ROOT everything; but if you have idnoy, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the tcmcdy you need At druggusts in fifty cent an.l dollar sizes.

N.Y. can, but I did charge him with aid- ng the Repub icans in their efforts to defeat the nomination of Tudjre ittle, after the Democrats of both counties had declared for Little. This piece of party treachery he does not pretend to deny. We call your attention to the fact that he docs not deny what we say in our circular about him in this respect; he cannot, because hundreds of people know it to be true. What do you think of a can- didate who will accuse me of some thing I never said, and then pre tend to deny it, and at the same time fail to denv what I did sav ? Ie uid not deny my assertions, be cause he knew the proof was all around him. About his promises to make me his clerk. Mr. Henrie knows that what I stated was true. He told a number of my friends just what I said about it. He knows that he promised to make me his clerk at $1,000 per year. Do you suppose that a man who would make an agreement, the very nature of which demanded that it should not be gen erally known, and who was re quired to take, and who did take, the iron-clad oath that he had not made any unlawful promises to se cure his nomination and election, would do anything but brazenly de ny it f ou could not expect him to do anything else. All I ask is, read my circular ; then read his denial, and you will see that he admits that what I said was true. He did, in the windup of the campaign, support Tudse Little, but this was because Judge Little's friends warned him that he would be fought this year. I am very much obliged to Mr. Henrie for his denial. It shows that he dared not deny what I really did say. Democrats, do your duty, as you believe the same to be right, and I will be satisfied. C.

LOTS OF BARGAINS- AT TOWNSEND'S Star Clothing House Some Real Good News A OAED TO TEE PUBLIC- The story being circulated by my opponents and some of their friends tnat I, as one of the school direct ors for the Town of Bloomsburg, seconded the motion to change the salary of the County Superintend ent from $1075 to $1500 at the late convention of directors, is lal.se in every particular. I did not second the motion, but on the other hand, voted against it. This is the truth of the matter, and those that sat near me will bear me out in it. It shows to what extremes my ene mies will go to wrong me. J. C. Rutter, Jr. The foregoing statements sworn to and subscribed before me, May 3 1 , 1 899. Guy Jacoby, J. P.

It has been one of the peculiarities of this store that spec ially low prices almost always come when the demand for the goods is greatest. Higher prices were never surer to come than now. We could make a liberal profit on several sorts of croods by storing present stock for the next six months. But this is your store, and summer's supplies of staple things are yours as wanted. Cheaper in manv cases this week. Furniture makers say prices higher from Tune 1st. or Tulv 1st, and they positively refuse, as a rule, to take orders at present values. Yet we are selling cheaper furniture than has ever been sold in Bloom. Muslins are higher future promises still further advance yet muslin burgains rule here.
