Wasn't it great ? + T Anybody can explain now how it all came about. t t The German vote didn't flop to any great extent, did it ? i t Now the man who told us so is out with his megaphone. + "112 + T Honor bright, Mr. Cleveland, for whom did you vote? + + Count Boni must go slow hereafter— unless he can get credit. V * + + The Democrats showed more sense in refusing to bet than they did in nominating Bryan. + + If Hawaii is the world's sugar bowl as somebody calls it, China and Japan must be its tea caddies. + + + + The Weather Men all ought to be loaded up with cigars and drinks for a few days. They did themselves proud. + + + + Mr. Wooley was modest enough to expect only a million votes and it re ally looks as though he had come pret ty near getting them. t i Silk is going up as a consequence o the Chinese war, and lovely woman is becoming more and more convinced of the wickedness of man's inhumanity to man. We are glad for Roosevelt's sake, if nothing else, that the Republicans won. Teddy would undoubtedly have taken defeat as a personal affront. 112 «112 4- + Those Democrats who thought that the sum of the game of politics was to claim everything, are now somewhat doubtful over the matter. t t T + The Republican estimates were based on information and have proven ex ceedingly accurate. Democratic ones were based on wind and have gone the wav of their foundation. t t After all, brethren, own up. Al though you may have voted for Bryan, don't you feel easier about your job now that you know that McKinley has been elected ? + + + + Incomplete returns indicate that Bryan ran about a million votes be hind his ticket in the various States. Seriously, Democratic brethren, we should advise you to shelve him and try somebody else next time. + + + + Roosevelt made a magnificent cam paign and gained a tremendous num ber of votes for the Republican ticket. Now he ought to have a good long rest and he will certainly have a chance to take one after March 4th, next. t i Evidently Croker overestimated his powers. It really seems that he is los ing his grip. If one result of this elec tion be the retirement ot this melodor ous boss from politics, it will be a gain not less unexpeced than popular. t t Nebraska has gone Republican, leg islature and all. Bryan cannot come to the Senate, and we imagine that he is worse disappointed by[that fact than by his defeat to the Presidency. For he could not have seriously expected to win the latter. +• + + + Democratic leaders say that the re turns show that if they had put up a man who could poll the entire vote of the party, he would have won. Possi bly ! But what leader have they who could do this? In fact, what real leader have they at all ? + + + + Bryan's defeat removes the last hope of the Fillipino rebels to bring about the carnival of loot, torch and sword for which they have been striving. Now, it is to be hoped that things over there will soon quiet down. t t The Republican triumph means that this country will have an army ade quate to its needs and not be forced to let ita fine fortifications along the sea coast goto wreck and ruin for lack of men to care for them. t t The first thing that Congress does this winter should be to readjust the representation of the South, both in Congress and in the Electoral College, in accordance with decency and jus tice. The party has a clear majority both in this Congress and the next,and there can be no excuse for further delay. i X From a party point of view, nothing could be better for the Republicans than that the Democrats should insist on nominating Bryan in 1904. But for the sake of the country's credit at homo and abroad it is to be hoped that they will choose some other and more creditable leader. + + ♦ The one dark spot on the Republican victory is the Democratic triumph in Kentucky. The people there seem wedded to their idols. Kentucky, by the way, seems to be the only State in all the Union where Bryan has run ahead of his ticket. Four Years More of rtcKinley. The Nation's honor is safe. Mc j Kinley will remain at the White House another four years, and Bryanisin is dead. That is glory enough for one day. The workinginen who have helped to bring about the triumph of Republican principles and poli cies need not fear the free soup house. The farmers who have done their part in the McKinley campaign will find a market for their pro duce, for when men are at work they have money to spend and the farmers get their share. Men with capital will build more mills and employ more labor. Or ders upon factories that have been contingent upon the election will now be filled. Prosperity will continue. The financial integrity of the nation is no longer in danger. Gold will be paid out in interest on bonds, gold will remain the stand ard, the free silver heresy is a thing of the past and business interests will not be assailed by doubt and timidity. And then there is our standing among nations. We are no longer afraid to take the lead such as we have taken in the Chinese inci dent. Indeed, we are rather ex pected to point the way and to play an influential hand in the affairs of the world. All this has come about under the McKinley administra tion. The American flag is honored everywhere, and its standing is se cure. There are many things to be ac complished which will be accom plished during the next four years. We have the Nicaragua Canal to build and the Philippine question to settle. And then there is that most important enterprise of build ing up the merchant marine in or der that the scores of millions of dollars that are annually paid to foreign steamship companies for carrying our products abroad may remain in American hands. Instead of the blight of Bryan ism—broken banks, panic in busi ness and financial circles—we are to have Progress—Progress, Pros perity, Patriotism. "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time," said Lincoln. A good many of the people were fooled into electing Cleveland pres ident eight years ago, but that les son was a most pronounced one. They could not be fooled with Bry an in 1896, and they have refused to be fooled in 1900. They have voted for the financial | honor, the business honor, the na tional honor and the international honor of the United States, and they have spurned the miserable makeshift arguments of the so called anti-imperialists and the childish talk about militarism. Those "issues" were not issues at all. They were intended to throw dust in the eyes of the people, but the people have escaped the dust. Their vision has not been dimmed, and, therefore, they have elected McKinley and have spurned the great Apostle of Free Silver and the preacher of doctrines bordering upon anarchy. The nation has been delivered i from great danger by the good sense of the people. Now let us have done with Bryanisui for all time.—Philadelphia Inquirer. There is no pleasure in life if you diead going to the table to eat and can't rest at night on account of indigestion. Ilenry Williams, of Boonville, Ind., says he suffered that way for years, till he commenced the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, and adds, "Now I can eat anything I like and all I want and sleep soundly every night."

To the People of the United States, Greeting: Four years ago — You demanded work for your sons. You got it. You never had so many people employed as now. You wanted your idle capital to be employed. You got it. Y'ou wanted to see the army of tramps mustered out. They are gone. You wanted your soup houses closed. They are closed. You wanted to get rid of the re ceivers of your railways and banks. They are gone. You wanted to see the smoke coming from the stacks of your mills and factories. It came. Many have since been kicking about the smoke nuisance. You wanted the savings bank deposits to increase. Never so large in your history as at present. You wanted to see interest rates decrease that your people could borrow more cheaply wherewith to develop your resources. You got it. Interest has never been so low as now. Y'ou. demanded more money. The circulation must be increased per capita. Y r ou got it. It has increased with marvelous rapidity for four years. You demanded that one dollar be just as good as another. Y'ou got it. That is the kind we have now. Y'ou demanded the markets of the world for your surplus pro ducts and goods. You got it. Got it so suddenly it almost dazzled you. Y'ou wanted us to stop borrow ing in Europe. We stopped it, and Europe is now borrowing from us. You wanted Cuba liberated. It is done. Y'ou wanted the rights of our people maintained at home and abroad. It has been done. What you really wanted the worst was what Mr. McKinley promised: "An honest dollar and a chance to earn it." You got both. Not from the Bryanites, but it was none the less acceptable to the man behind the dinner bucket. If you want more things of this sort you can get them from the same source. —Herald, Grand Rap ids, Mich. PRESS COMfIENTS On the Re-Election of lion. Joseph C. Sibley to Congress. Bradford Star. Hon. Joseph C. Sibley carried the district by a goodly majority and will return to Congress as one of McKinley's staunchest and most potent supporters. The Democrats were unable to get their coveted revenge upon the distinguished candidate from Venango county. Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette. Considering the bitterness of the fight against Sibley, his election was one of the most signal Republican triumphs of Tuesday. His majority shows how the people of the district estimated the despicable slanders used against him and their ballots are his best vindica tion. Titusville Herald. It iB with great pleasure that we find ourselves able to record such a sweep ing victory in the twenty-seventh dis trict for Hon. J. C. Sibley. This district was the scene of the hottest political battle in the State and predictions were freely made that the Republican candi date would be defeated. His decisive victory establishes Mr. Sibley as one of the leaders of the Republican party in the State and Nation. Each candidate carried his own county by about equal ly large pluralities. Warren was the battle-ground and nobly did the Re publicans of that county respond to the call to duty. The result in the twenty seventh district is everything in the way of a vindication of his course in Congress that Mr. Sibley and his friends and supporters could desire. Venango Spectator. In the campaigji just closed Joseph C. Sibley was made the object of the lowest, meanest, most utterly baseless lies that ever disgraced a political con test in this Congressional district. Ev ery contemptable falsehood that the ingenuity of a gang of hirelings and newspaper lazaroni could invent was spread broadcast. Libels of a shame less and cruel character were multiplied in many forms and reiterated by the myriad tongues of the press. It is to the honor of the people of this district —a striking evidence both of their in telligence and fair play—that they were proof against the poison stuff; that they went to the polls, regardless of party, and put the stamp of approval upon a fellow-citizen whose personal honesty and moral character cannot truthfully be called in question. Our district has honored itself in vindicating one of its best citizens from the malice and foul abuse heaped upon him in the interests of a man who is notoriously his inferior in all essential respects. Warren Mirror. They have voted to send back to Congress "the best Congressman the district ever had," as Lew Emery's paper puts it. And Mr. Sibley has come out of this campaign with his escutcheon untarnished—there are no marks upon it. And he is firm in the stand that he has never drawn an old and rusty knife and tried to shove it into the anatomy of a political oppon ent. Sibley fights above board, not under cover. And when they want to find the man who is known all over the country as "Honest Joe," there is no doubt where he stands. He is always open and above board in his manner of doing business. And his address is still at Franklin, Pa., even though he does go back to Congress for a period of a couple of years more Bradford Era. The election of Mr. Sibley was a grand testimonial to the popularity of that gentleman's personality. The feat of leaving one party, espousing the cause of another and then receiving the nom ination and a triumphant election from the party which he has joined, was a test that but few men could have with stood. To say that Mr. Sibley's election is the result of corruption is only to pro long the follies of the foolish campaign that was waged against the Republican candidate for Congress. If voters were not for sale in McKean county, where Mr. Emery received a handsome plur ality, neither were their neighbors for sale in Warren, Venango or Cameron counties. We are all free and inde pendent citizens of Pennsylvania and a county line cannot be marked about any one community which has a mo nopoly of political rectitude. Men av erage alike generally. It is natural that the defeated ones should ascribe various post-election reasons to break the force of their fall, but if the friends of Mr. Emery are wise they will see that if the contest was fair in McKean county, it was also fair in the other counties. The fact is, that outside of McKean county, where Mr. Emery has hosts of personal friends and warm ad mirers, Mr. Sibley was too strong a candidate to he overcome. Sibley's election was Sibley's vindication. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Biomo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. E. W.

The current number of the Scientific American devotes its front page to a series of photographs showing the progress and mode of reconstructing the Kinzua viaduct. The following facts are gleaned from a descriptive article: " The bridge serves to carry the rail road across a deep and comparatively narrow valley. The floor of the bridge is 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, and has long since beeu one of the 'show' features ot the Erie road. The new structure takes the place of an iron bridge which was erected in 1882. The reconstruction of the viaduct is clue, not to any defects or decay in the old structure, but to the great increase which lias taken place of late years in the weight of the engines and rolling stock. The greater strength of the new viaduct results from the greater weight of the material used, 3,500 tons as against 2,500, from the improved materials of construction (mild steel taking the place of iron ) and from the more scientific distribution of the ma terial. The only portion of the old structure that remains is the founda tions. From a popular point of view the moßt interesting feature in connec tion with the reconstruction of the bridge is the method adopted in re moving the old bridge and building up the new structure in its place. For this purpose two travelers, each con sisting of a complete Howe truss tim ber bridge, 180 feet in length, were constructed and run out over the old bridge. The method of operating them is as follows : The traveler was run over the particular tower which was to be removed, and the spans, that is those between three towers, and over the tower itsef, were removed and then the material of the tower was cut loose, section by section, drawn up by a hoisting cable to the traveler, and run out on the permanent structure and removed to either shore. After the old tower had been taken away, the material for the new tower was run out oyer the bridge to the traveler, lowered into place and riveted up. Two travelers worked from opposite ends of the bridge and finally met in the center. Traffic was suspended on May 14th last. The work of recon struction commenced May 20th, and this important work has been success fully carried out in the interim, by a force of from 140 to 150 men." Stops the Cough And Works off the Cold.

WOMAN IS UKE A DELICATE MUSiOAL INSTRUMENT In good condition she Is sweet and lovable, and sings life's song on a Joyful harmonious string. Out of order or unstrung, there is discordance and unhapplness. Just as there is one key note to all music so there is one key note to health. A woman might as well try to fly without wings as to feel well and look well while the organs that make her a woman are weak or diseased. She must be healthy Inside or she can't be healthy outsTde. There are thousands of women suffering silently all over the country. Mistaken modesty urges their silence.
