SOME IMPROVEMENTS. Our up to date job printing de partment has been recently still further improved by the addition of a Washington hand-press on the third floor. This enables us to print all kinds of posters and card signs, up to a full sheet, without taking the forms down to the basement on the big cylinder press. A still further improvement is the installation of an electric motor on the third floor, by which two of the three job presses on that floor are driven. Two large job presses on the first floor have been run by electric power for some time past. Twenty two new foi'ts of type have recently been udded. There is no job printing office iu this county that can compare with the Colum bian Printing House. We have more than twice as many presses, and three times as many job print ers as any other establishment. The character of our work speaks for itself. Pardon us for blowing our own horn, but as others are doing the same thing, we must give a toot once in awhile so that the public may not be mislead by the claim that some other office is "the larg est and best equipped in the coun ty". The Columbian job office was at the head of the procession thirty years, ago. It is there yet, and it is going to stay there. NEW RULES IN COMMISSIONERS' OFFICE. Anuraber of new regulations has been adopted by the county com missioners, among them being the following: All bills owing the county will be paid at the end of the current month, except court expenses; sup plies for the various offices must be obtained by requisition on the com missioners; the vault in the office will be kept locked, and files want ed must be applied for, to the clerk A NEW SECRETARY.

The present conditions between the President and Congress are the most extraordinary known to His tory. Judging by what the public has learned by the outcroppings of the fight, a man who stands out side of the fence and looks ou comes to the following conclusion: -Mr. Roosevelt has been doing some crooked work; and in order to prevent expssure or retal iate if attacked, he has had his corps of secret service spies trailing around after the Congressmen and Senators to find, if he can, some thing wherewith to charge or threaten them, and thus to prevent an attack upon himself. Second If that cannot be pre vented, then that Senate, Congress and President may all go in the pen together; and form a club of Im mortals in the Book of Crimes. It is too early to strike a balance between the warring candidates for eternal infamy; but it is not too early to come to the conclusion that a very large number of our public men are overcome by the love of money, or power, or both, to make themselves severally and collectively, not only distinguished members of the Ananias Club, but candidates for the "stripes aud bars" in the public Work Houses of the nation. To make such a condition of things possible, we need only look at the immense amounts of money, at the enormous deals in fabulous sums by stocks and other methods. by the corporations. Millions of money owned or controlled by pri vate individuals Millions of acres of public lauds in the hands or un der the control of private individu als; aud then consider that these al most unlimited accumulations are in the hands of members of con gress, and grave senators and cabi net officers, or a President who controls them. If the ancient Philosopher were to come back into the woUd, he would need two candles to find an honest man. Aud it is a fact, that the history of the world doe s not give us another example of the cor ruption iu high places, as is seen, exposed and known to exist, as we find in these closing days of the administration of Theodore Roose velt. The notoriety of corruption in every corner of the Republic, and among all sorts of people, and all sorts of politicians and all divisions of parties, makes Rome, in her highest attainments iu public plun der, aud private vices, hide her head; and to acknowledge that Rooseveltism in the United States of America, in the nineteenth cen tury of the Christian era, takes the palm, for corruption in all places, high and low. Alpha Beta, EVANS-HARDER. ' Our townsman, Charles M.Ev ans, aud Miss Pearl Katharine Harder of Catawissa, were united in wedlock this morning, at the home of the bride, who is a daugh ter of ,Thos.
