REPUBLICAN TICKET.
STATE.
Justice of the Supreme Court,
HON. WILLIAM P. POTTER.
State Treasurer.
HON. I'RANK G. HARRIS.
COUNTY TICKET.
For Associate Judge,
GEOIUiE A. WALKER.
For County Treasurer,
WALTER YQTHBRS.
The last Democratic State Con
vention passed, unanimously, a
resolution that in case of a vacancy
on the ticket such vacancy should
be filled by a Democrat. The re
cent meeting of the state commit
tee pulled oil their candidate for
State Treasurer and in his place
took Hon. E. A. Coray, a dis
gruntled Republican, to the evi
dent disgust of old time Democrats.
A Democrat at our elbow says
"that's one thing, and the next is
to make Democrats vote for him,
if we are to vote for a Republican
I prefer a man of settled principle
and shall vote for Harris, of Clear
field, our neighbor and a good man,
too. Talk about Boss Quay! where
will you see a more high-handed
piece of machine politics in the
face of the declaration of our State
Convention. I'll not be bossed by
McClure—Gordon—Pattison. Cam
eron county does not approve of the
fusion slate and we are glad our
state committeeman from this
county refused to be a party to the
deal." "We hear similar expres
sion:- in other places and the vote
Frank G. Harris will receive from
honest Democrats will be large.
So far as we have been able to
observe factional politics has never
succeeded in accomplishing any
thing for the people except to en
gender bitterness and stimulate the
industries of slander and detrac
tion. Stalwart and Half-breed,
Cameron and Anti-Cameron,
Straightout and Independent,
Quay and Anti-Quay, Regular and
Insurgant, and the thousands of
other political factions that rise and
fall with the tide of events, have
never mad-: any substantial im
provement in public affairs. And
they never will. Factions are born
of jealousy and revenge, of envy
and hate. The only way to elevate
the standard of political honesty
and efficiency is to raise the average
of public morals. That must be
done by instilling into our youth
higher ideals of duty. It cannot
he done by exaggeration and mis
representation. We are too prone
to mistake prejudice for patriotism,
and self-gratification for zeal for
the public good.—Punxy. Spirit.
An esteemed correspondent
whose address in Philipsburg, Pa.,
writes a postal to The Press con
veying the astounding information
that "Lead, Kindly Light" was
written by Bishop John H. New
man, of President McKinley's own
Methodist Episcopal Church, and
not by Cardinal Newman," to
whom credit has been so generally
assigned. Anybody who ever yet
had the pleasure of meeting the
late Bishop Newman—whose name
was not John 11., but John P.—
can readily imagine the merry
smile with which he would have
greeted the suggestion. Doubtless
he would have said that lie wished
he had written the beautiful hymn.
The facts are that in 1833 John
Henry Newman, then an Anglican
clergyman, ami afterwards a cardi
nal in the Catholic Church, was
dangereusly ill in Sicily. In June
of that yew, when he had suffi
eiently recovered, he left Palermo
in an orange boat, which was be
calmed for a whole week, and it
was while the boat lay helpless and
still that he wrote the hymn,
"Lead, Kindly Light." Doubtless
the close similarity of the names
misled our subscriber, who gently
reminds us that wo "should be
more careful in our statements."—

Tot Causes Night Alarm.
"One night my brother's baby was
taken with Croup," writes Mrs. J. C.
Snider, of Crittenden, Ky., ' ; it seemed

Discovery, which <:ave ijuiek relief and
permanenly cured it. Vve always keep

that no other remedy would relievd."

A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on C. F.
Collier of Cherokee, lowa, that nearly
proved fatal, It came through his kid
neys. His back got so lame he could not
stoop without great pain, nor sit in a
chair except propped by cushions. No
remedy helped him until he tried Elec
tric Bitters which effected such a won
derful change that he writes he leels like
a new man. This marvelous medicine
cures backache and kidney trouble, puri
fies the blood and builds up your health.
Only 50c at L. Taggart's Drug Store.
A good hope is better than a bad pos
session.
Stricken With Paralysis.
Henderson Grimett, of this place, was
stricken with partial paralysis and com
pletely lost the use of one arm and side.
Atter being treated by an eminent phy
sician for (juite a while without relief, my
wife recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, and after using two bottles of it he
is almost entirely cured.— GEO. It. MC
DONALD. Alan, Logan county, W. Va.
Several other very remarkable cures of
partial paralysis have been effected by
the use of this liniment. It is most wide
ly known, however, as a cure for rheuma
tism, sprains and bruises. For sale by
L. Tuggart.

Letter to Alex Hclnnis, Jr.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: The annoyance caused by
abort measure in paints, that are sold
by the "gallon," is worse than the loss
by the .shortage. Misled by the maker's
represe tations as to how far a gallon
will go, you buy too little of every sort,
and must send for more in the midst
of the work.
Besides, a short-measure man is,
doubtless, al3o a cheater in other ways:
his paint is likely to cover perhaps
two-thirds as much as he says. This
also you find out while the work is
going on, and the painting must wait
while you send for more.
Even this is not all, nor the worst.
If it wears half as long as he says, you
aro luck}'. Yon have the whole job to
do again in a year or two; and perhaps
your paint is not really good for that
short time.
One law of lying is that liars lie most
where it's hardest to catch 'em.
Another is that a liar lies wherever he
can.
Look out for short measure. It in
cludes all the rest. Devoe lead and
zinc is full measure and pure and dur
able.
Yours truly,
