Wasn't it great ?

Anybody can explain now how it all
came about.

Honor bright, Mr. Cleveland, for
whom did you vote?

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

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.

Silk is going up as a consequence o

We are glad for Roosevelt's sake, if
nothing else, that the Republicans won.
Teddy would undoubtedly have taken
defeat as a personal affront.

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

You (lot All You Asked For.
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.

The Klnzua Viaduct.
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."
