EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1900.
Mr. Josiah Howard's Letter.
The righteous government of King
David built up the nation, but the po
litical wisdom of his son Solomon, led
only to folly and destruction.
This is ever true, no man ever yet
advocated a dishonest cause or turned
the crank in on the side of envy or
spite that he did not go down in the
fall of the unrighteous principle.
A few weeks ago I stated that I
would not vote for Bryanism, either
directly or indirectly, nor would I sit
on a platform with Bryanite stump
speakers. I did not mean just on ac
count of the free silver idea which Mr.
Bryan foolishly insisted upon and
which not only died a natural death
itself, but helped bury Mr. Bryan and
nearly killed the whole Democratic
party; by Bryanism, I meant that
grater and fundamental principal of
envious spite and hate which still ex
ists between the narrow and more in
capable portion of the classes and
masses. To shorten the bridge be
i tween capital and labor, should be the
[ earnest endeavor of all public men,
the public schools and I am much in
clined to say the ministers in our
churches.
Ido not think a clergyman should
take an active part in the political
questions which divkle our people into
two great parties, but it certainly is
his duty to preach, that the church
knows of no time in a man's life when
it is right to lie, steal, or insist on de
bauching the manhood and moral in
tegrity of his fellow citizens.
The bridge between capital and la
bor can be shortened in only one way;
that is for the employer and the em
ployee to treat each other fairly and
as brothers, and both brothers to
recognize capital as their best friend.
Now I just want to say that I am un
alterably opposed to anything that
stirs up strife between the classes and
the masses, because strife widens the
gap in all mental, moral and political
structures, and nothing but good-will
can shorten it. Bryanism stands for
the former and against the latter. |
The wealth of a farmer depends upon
the improvement of his land and his
cattle, The earnings of a railroad de
pend upon the enterprise and activity
of the country; the income ofa capital
ist or a bank depends upon the success I
of the borrower, and the success of the
manufacturer depends upon the pros
perity of the purchasers.
The manufacturer and the store
keeper are contractors trying to supply
the needs of the world; the capitalist is
the man or woman who loans money
at interest and there are laboring men
in this and many other towns who j
loan money to the Pennsylvania Rail- J
road.
The world's capital, manufacturers i
and labor are dependent upon each|
other, and enjoy the greatest blessing
when each and all are prosperous; I
these conditions are best when the best
good-will exists between them. Will |
you help increase this good-will in the
world ? The attempt is honorable to a
minister, profitable to a capitalist and i
a blessing to employer and employee, j
Our people are intelligent and inde- j
pendent enough to vote as they please \
and if they will lay aside prejudice i
and spite we will have forty times four |
more years of prosperity and peace. |
Respectfully,
JOSIAH HOWARD, j
Finger Cut Off.
Bing Hemphill came homo from
Tidioute last week to nurse a couple
of sore fingers. While Bing and an
other young man were engaged cutting (
a board to fix a feed box—Bing hold-1
ing the board and the other lad using j
the axe, the handle of which caught in j
his clothes and threw the tool into '
Bing's fingers, cutting the first finger
on the left hand entirely off and al- j
most severing the second finger. The !
injure member is healing as fast as can t
be expected and it is hoped he may
soon be able to resume his labors.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The editor of the PRESS has been en
; joying (?) the novelty of serving Uncle
Samuel as juror in U. S. court at Pitts
burg, during the past ten days, receiv
ing $2.00 per day and paying §3.00 for
board, yet there are many who wish
I they could be granted the privilege.
Well, they can have my place, and my
best wishes if I could only get away.
Get excused, did you say friends Auchu
and Hill? I guess Cameron county
jurors have played that racket so suc
cessfully that in the future all persons
drawn "must serve to the close of the
war," and will not fare so lucky as
you did.
This is our first visit to Pittsburg
since 1891 and the many changes are
wonderful to behold. Then the hun
dreds of manufacturing establishments
used natural gas for fuel, yet the city
was enveloped in smoke. The im
mense increase of manufactories has
drained the gas belt to pueh an extent
that soft coal has again come into gen
eral use and the blue sky is a thing of
the past. White shirts are no good in
this city and everything looks black
and dirty, yet the average Pittsburger
smiles when you call attention to the
dirt or smoke. Those not familiar
with the city are sure to have soiled
linen, black hands and often faces of
the same black, streaky smut color.
Hotel carpets are always a black,
greasy color. What town would not
suffer this inconvenience if they could
only have one-thousandth part of the
business enjoyed by this city. Just
think of the hundreds of mills, furnaces
and factories within a radius often
miles of Pittsburg employing almost
200,000 wage earners. Prosperity has
struck this section and new sky-scrap
er buildings are being rapidly erected,
and go where you may you will see
from three to four stories being added
ito what are now big buildings. Capi
tal is seeking investment rapidly, and
new towns are being "plotted," sur
, veyed and springing into existence
within three or four months.
Alleghany county, with a population
of over 775,000, will march forward
more rapidly within the next five years
than she has the past ten years. The
railroads entering the cities of Pitts
burg and Alleghany are looking out
for expansion and during the next two
years millions of dollars will be ex
pended in improvements, new cars, en
gines and a grand union depot are
under consideration. Every branch of
business is booming. Great is Pitts
burg and the county of Alleghany.
! Greater still are its men of wealth who
j are daily donating large sums of mon
i ey to afford every advantage to the
, poor boy or girl desiring to fit them
selves to any vocation. Only last week
' Andrew Carnegie donated §3,000,000
more for institutions of learning for
; Pittsburg, in addition to former mill
| ions expended for the city where he
made his hundreds of millions. One
might write for days of the interesting
| points of grandness and the great men
I of Pittsburg, but I have not the time at
j my disposal just now to enlarge upon
the subject further. The opportunities
I presented the citizens of Cameron
| county to cheaply enjoy a day's outing
| in this busy section are many.
Between the hour* of duty I have
| looked up a number of former Empo
| riumites, now residing here and engage
|ed in business. Hon. Fred C. Conard,
of Coudersport, United States Marshal
for this district, resides here with his
family and is a popular officer. He
always greets his friends from the
I Northern Tier cordially and takes
| pleasure in making his friends feel at
| homo. Dr. J. W. Snyder, also of Coud
j eraport, but formerly a citizen of Em-
I poriurn, is located herewith his family, '
j filling the responsible position of depu- i
; ty to Mr. Leonard and is one of the j
j most efficient men in the service. I
( Thomas C. Johnson, son of our friend j
Hon. J C Johnson, is located here and
is associated with a prominent real es-
tate agency. We are pleased to note
how well he is looking and also more
than pleased to say he is a wide-awake
business man and occupies a position
of prominence. Another Emporium
young man is climbing up the ladder—
Harry Ness. He and his family reside
at Bellevue, one of Pittsburg's suburban
towns. Mr. Ness is the Buffalo, Ro
chester & Pittsburg Railroad's right
hand man in this city and holds a very
lucrative place. We enjoyed a visit of
short duration with his family and
found them nicely situated. Mother
Hirsch, the PRESS readers will be glad
to learn, is exceedingly smart and
wishes to be remembered to all of her
old Emporium friends.
We called upon Mr. and Mrs. E. P.
Cummings, who reside at Bellevue, but
were former Johnsonburgers. Mrs. C.
was formerly Miss Mary More,of Beech
wood and will be pleasantly remem
bered by many of the PRESS readers.
Mr. Cummings is engaged in the in
surance and real estate business in Al
leghany city and enjoys a large busi
ness. He is a hustler and is bound to
succeed. I met upon the street yester
day, John Farrell, an Emporium young
man who is attending commercial
college here. He will return home for
the Holidays, although he has already
been tendered a position in this city.
Alfred J. Niles, son of Judge Niles, of
Tioga county, who visits Emporium
and Sizerville Springs quite frequently,
is assistant solicitor of this city. He is
a visiting member of the bar and very
popular here.
There are many more Emporiumites
in this vicinity but I have not had an
opportunity to see them. I expect to
return home this week, feeling greatly
benefitted by my enforced vacation and
ready to buckle down to business again.
Full of new hope for Cameron county
and its good people I am ready to help
push forward. H. H. M.
Pittsburg, Pa. Nov. 2C, 1900.
The Ithica Concert Co.
Under the auspicea of the First SI. E.
Church this capable company will ap
pear in the Court House, Tuesday even

Jubilee Singers.
Slayton Jubilee Singers will be the
next attraction in the People's Course,
Wednesday evening, Dec. 12. They
are the leading colored Bingers in the
country and a crowded house will greet
their appearance.
Correction.
We mentioned last week that Dr. F.
C. Rieck was going to leave us, but the
Dr. informs us that he will not move
before spring, and that he may change
his mind by that time and not move at
all. We hope he may conclude to re
main here.
Large Apple.
Jos. Lechner has on exhibition in
his store window, a large apple, sent
to him by Frank Ayers, who is now in
Portland, Ore. Mr. Ayers says this
is a sample of the large fruit they
grow in that state.
Took a Tumble.
E. G. Strait had a miraculous escape
from being badly injured on Tuesday.
A ladder on which he was fixing the
spouting on the Central hotel, col
lapsed, letting him to the ground.
Outside of a few slight bruises and a
small cut on the head he received no
serious injury.
Brought Here for Burial.
The ten months old child of Joseph
Robison, of J ohnsonburg, was brought
here Monday morning for burial. The
mother of the child is a daughter of
Mr. John Lawson of Howard Siding,
and is well known by many of our peo
ple who sympathize with her and her
husband in their hour of affliction.'
Robbed Again.
The store of J. E. Smith at Sterling
Run was broken into last night and
several hundred dollars worth of goods
stolen. The burglars gained an en
trance by cutting a pane of glass out
1 of the door and unlocking the same
i relocking it after they secured all
[ the valuables they wanted.
A Painful Accident.
Last Monday afternoon, while at
work at one of Howard & Co.'scamps,
David Kirkpatrickof Beechwootl, sunk
the blade of an axe through his left
; foot, completely splitting it and sever
ing one of the toes from the foot. He
was brought to town on the log train
and comfortable quarters given him at
the Cottage Hotel where Drs. Baker
and Smith dressed the wound and ad
ministered the necessary medical ap
plication to alleviate his suffering.
At this writing he is doing well, al
though it will be many days before he
will be able to swing another blow like
that which disabled him.
