laist week's Republican lets
know a great many secrets of the demo
cracy in this cennty. and goes on to
grind out a big grist of them. The fact
is the Bellefonte Republican "don't
know nothing" at all.
One of the candidates for Assembly,
on the Greenback ticket. Mr. Gramlejr,
is said to be a Cameron man. and if
elected would Tote for Don foe I", b-
Senator. How do democratic grei n
backers. and an ti-Cameron repub
tii-ans like that kind of thing?
The Cameron republicans are scolding
fiercely all along the line because the
democrats nominated gov. Curtin for
tvngrws. and they will spend lots of
money to make votes against Andy.
Democrats go into the work at once,and
give the pilfering Cameron crew such a
rebuke as will forever lay them upon
the shelf. Go in with all your might
for Dill. Curtin, and the whole demo
cratic ticket. You never badbetle* can
didates than now upon the ticket.
The green backers of the Lycoming
congressional district have nominated a
preacher, Rev. J. T. DaviJ, for congress.
If he gets to congress, he'H know cne
thing, rix, How to hold a colleeuoa.
M'Clare's Sunday Tiatfjt, the firs:
ime of which reached us last week, is a
good pater, and comes up fully to rnv
issued in this country. It is double the
size of the daily Times.
The P>ellefbnte Herald h'yits fbat Car
tin's election is certain. Why who
donbtsit? his majority will be rai*ed
h.gh as "the crests of the Alleghenies."
N'ew York gives indication of belter
times. A despatch, tha other dajr, a*)*s,
a healthy indication of the revival of
business is foand in the steady dimina
tion of foreclosure sales. The depress
ed condition of real estate has evidently
reached its lowest level, and confidence
reigns once more in the market. Heat
ers in brick, lumber and kindred mote
r<ai are laying in heavy stocks in antici
pation of a brisk building trade for the
coming year.
The Penn'a Railroad in its earnings
for March show?across increase nf|lß9,-
486, a decrease in expenses of ? 123,148,
making an increase in the net earnings
0f5312,634. The eight months of 1879,
the first two-thirds of the year, as com
pared with 1877, show an increase in
gross earnings of $961,423, a decrease *in
expenses 0f5539,390, making an increase
in the net earnings 0f51,500,513. All the
lines west of Pittsburg and Erie show a
deficiency in meeting their obligations
of 1-532.680, being a gain over the same
period of 1877 of $319,203 and during the
month of $167,653. The Philadelphia
and Erie report for the month of August
shows gross earnings of $262,07311 for
the month, the operating Cx'penses be
ing $117,740,65, leaving $84,322.47 as the
net result.
Wo don't see why, with this favorable
exhibit that Company does not fulfill its
promises and complete our road, after
making our people pay their stock and'
bonds and cutting np oar farms. The
people of this valley have great cause of
complaint against the Company for vio
lation of contract.
A man walked into the Philadelphia
yellow fever relief office, gave one tnou
saud dollars to the Treasurer, refused to
tell his name, and went away unrecog
nized.
Had this man been an office seeker
he wonld have had his action heralded
nil over the land for his glorification
and to make votes.
Dr. Glenn greenback nominee for
commissioner has declined, faour grapes)
because it would interfere with his busi
ness arrangements. Wo can assure Dr.
Glenn that bis "business arrangements''
would never have been disturbed in the
least, neither is it likely that any other
fellow's "business arrangements" will
be disturbed by being on the greenback
ticket.
The greenback committee have since
nominated Mr.S. T.Gray, of Patton, in
lien of Glenn.
Mr. Geo. G. Tate, also sent in a "with
drew" as greenback nominee for pro
thonotary, bat the committee wouldn't
agree to it, and he withdrew his with
draw.
The greenbackers will make no nomi
nation for Prcs't Judge, as resolved at
their meeting last week, at which a bal
lot was also had for senator, as follows:
Capt. John A. Hunter 13, S. W.Caldwell
of Clinton 11. At the same time Feth
Yocnm was nominated for congress. Is
Feth Bellefonte'6 next rising statesman ?
Seth appeared upon invitation and both
saitb "I have seen with pain the acts ol
legislation," etc., "Seen with pain" is
good, and the opposite of Iloyt who uth
he "points with pride." Say unto us
Setb, when did this radical legislation
strike you first with pain, and where
does it hart you, in the gizzard? It
hurts moat 'o people away down in the
pants pocket where the port-monai
roosts. The medicine many of them are
taking for it is the democratic ticket—
that will care it, Seth.
Capt. Hunter declined the nomination
for senator in a neat speech, and the
prize was handed over to Mr. Caldwell
—a poor call for a eall-well.
A New York bigamist who had fooled
nine women into marrying him, lias
come to grief. He would advertise for a
housekeeper, then say lie was w nil to, do

[ Wonderful discoveries in acoustics
. won't cease. It is now heralded that
r Israel D. Jewett, a druggist at .St. Otner,
Inda., has perfected an instrument,
1 which he calls the "agnphone." which.
, it is claimed, will without the aid of
electricity, carbons, or any complex ma
t chinery, collect distant sounds, anil car
ry them to a great distance, without loss
of volume. A number of experiments
were made with the instrument on Sat
urday —a wiru being strung nearly half
t a mile. Speaking into the instrument
t three or four feet away, the words were
- heard clearly and distinctly at the
5 farthest end of the wire. Playing upon
a violin eight feet from the instrument,
the music was heard at the other end,
' in the street. Th" closing of door ,
1 walking npon the door, o J.n.iry con
versation, the ticking of a watch, could
" be heard distinctly, without applying
the instrument to the ear. Mr. Jewett
. will not explain his invention at prrs
j ent, nof Laying, a* yet, received letters
j patent.
The charge is made by a 1-ock Haven
r correspondent of the Philadelphia
, Times, that the Camerons sent money
f into Centre county to defeat the nomi
- nation of Curtin. From P-ellefonte we
- hear that a check of fcSOO was received
r there to be used lot the defeat .of Cur-
tin at the primary eleotionsin thiscoun
A rOOR OUJECTIOy.
A very thin objection was that we
heard a republican make to J. C. Har
per, for protbonotarv. He said he ad
mitted Cal was fully competent to fill
the office, but that h( ires j/pung." Too
thin —if Mr. Harper is competent, while
he is young, all the more credit does he
deserve—and it would be wrenched logic
that would strike down worthy and
competent young men, simply because
tbey are young—throwing cold water
upon every worthy young man in the
land, and punishing him for being
worthy in early manhood. That kind of
logic won't bear handling. What we
want to know about an officer, is wheth
er he is competent, not his age. and
while Mr. Harper is well qualified for
the prothonotary's office, be is also old
enough for the place too.
It is perfectly amusin to see how the
Cameron republicans fret, foam, spit,
kick, jaw and swear because tho demo
crats nominated Cnrtin for congress.
They do go on fearfully about it. Kven
if Curtin could not be elected, it would
be worth the democrat's while to nomi
nate him just to make the Cameron ring
mad, which alone is big satisfaction;
but in addition to makiog these state
plunderers mad, we are going to elect
Andy Curtin in the bargain by so large
a majority, that the Camerons will all
go crazy over it.
Senator Dill in his Grccnsburg speech
arraigned the republicans in a powerful
and eloquent manner for their abuses in
the government.
He said that the starving labor, the
idle capital, the embarrassed business
circles and the general paralysis which
prevail throughout the nation are the
logical results of the rule of a party tiiat
is unmindful of the wantsof the people:
that has prostituted power to individual
aid class aggrandizement and impover
ished the richest country of the world.
Republicanism, be said, has given us
years of growing misfortune, until a ant
and disorder are now the chief trophies
of its authority. 1 arraign it, he con
tinued, as the author of needless pros
tration in our industries, and of the de
moralisation that deforms the noble*t of
governments. I accuse it of causeless
oppression by its financial policy; of cen
tralizing the circulating medium, that is
the life of trade, and crushing the ener
gies of the producing classes. I confront
it before the civilized world as a usurper
of the highest authority of a free people;
as maintaining a rule that was born of
unblushing fraud, and I appeal from its
usurpations and protiigacy and misrule
to democratic constitutional authority as
the only relief for the people, and as
the only safety of our free institutions.
Mr. Dill then told his hearers how
prosperity may he restored, and in
these sound views, which we present to
ottr greenback friends. He uuid:
We want the increase of the national
debt and the contraction of the curren
cy, for the purpose of enforced re.-tnrp
tion, to stop; we want the onerous taxes
now imposed upon the only channels
through which the people can obtain
money, to be repealed; we want bank
ing to be free; we want a uniform cur
rency issued by the government mid to
be redeemed by the government; we
want the volume of money to he con
trolled solely by the jyanta of the legiti
mate business of the country; we want
the government to cease discrediting its
owe money by refusing it for debts due
to the government, aud we want re
trenchment and economy in every de
partment of authority, municipal, state
and national. These are the sources to
which we must look for restored pros
perity, and restored prosperity means
resumption that will last. These views
I regard as a just interpretation of the
deliverance of the-Pittsburg convention
on the financial issue.

reason for the delay in Iris nomination
was due to the desire of the conferees
to satisfy the claims of local candidates.
After his nomination the ex-Governor

In this county one half of the repub

fourths of the greenbackers are opposed
to the Cameron ring and the re-election
of Don to the U. 8. Senate. Now then
the only legislative ticket sure to be
against the C'atnerons, is the democratic,

WHO MASON IS.
Sii A RON, Pa., Sept. 2, 1878.
ED. REPORTER Subsequent to a short
sojourn in Mercer county we made a visit
of several weeks to Centre county. While
there wo wero asked by numerous persons
belonging: to the Greenback party, as to
the popularity and standing are of S.
R. Mason, national nominee for GOT. of
Pcnn'a ,in his own county. Not having
been in Mercer county eery long previous
to our visitlo Centre, and nothaying;made
any inquiries into his record, we wero un
able to answer their questions satisfactori
ly. since our return we have taken some
pains to become acquainted with Mr. Ma
son's public reputation, and his integrity
and fitness for the gubernatorial chair to
which many eastern friends vainly im
agine he will be elected- In the first place
wo learn that his main strength in the
county is from broken down politicians,
who, for some years past bavo been trying
to redeem their lost fame by allowing
themselves taken in with every new
movement. Among these are Fred. Brag
gins, editor of the Mercer Index, Gib.
White and a few other like characters,
who, in tho eyes of the people, would be
of little valuo in the attainment of a less
enviable position than the highest throne
in the state. In the second place Mr Ma
son is said, and not without occasion eith
er, to be a ringster, n capitalist, a monopo
list—is not in sympathy with tho laboring
class, therefore not fit to bo their represen
tative. Ho is also one of the greatest cor
poration lawyors in the state. There "is
not % railroad in Mercer county, and some
out of the county, for which ho has not
been as counsel, and to which source he
may refer much of his wealth. "Here we
have for a leador, if not a corporalionist.
an adTocato and friond of those branches
of business which aro antagonistic to the
bost interests of our country by and through
which labor bas beon impoverished and
capital been mado an uncompromising,
heartless monarch." As a banker and 11
note shaver, Mr. Mason also owes consid
erable of his financial competency, and
only gave the business up when 4 percent.
U. S bonds paid better, and not because

lice. As a representative of the mining
class, Mr. Mason's friendship towards this
class of labor may bo inferred from the
fact that be was the only lawyer that the
operators could securo in the suitsof eject
ment against the miners in the strike of
1875, and took occasion in his plea to roc
ommend tho dispatching of the ringlead
ers to end the difficulties, lie denounced
the miners as a class of lazy, worthless ,
vagabonds, consuming what honost men <
produced. Whgri entreated for the dis- |
tressed women and children he replied, ,
"They ought to suffer." Alt these thing* :

who finds his old political sentiments sbak-ji

We cony the following from Tbo Amor.
iCRn JJooVsellor, Kew Vork :
Fo* people can have failed to notice the
great enterprise, if they have not observed
the scrupulous care with which Messrs. D.
Lothrop A Co. have published a class of
books adapted lo the highest culture of the
> peoplo
It is only ten years since they com
-1 menced tbo work of publishing, and their
• list sow n M tgoru tliAtt tig hundred
volumes.
We arc glad to make record, thst brave
and persistent following of a high ideal
has been successful.
Messrs. D. Lolhrop A Co. Ihava given
special attention to tbe publication of
books for children and youths, rightly
considering thai in no department'is thr
br><, as regard* literary excellence and pu-.
rity of moral and religious reading, of to
great importance. Yettho names ofworkt
be tuch authors as Austin Phelps, I). D.,
Francis Wayland, and Dr. Nehemiab
Adams on their catalogue, will show that
maturer readers hsre not been uncared
for.
Of their work projected for the coming
scasen, we have not room to speak in de
tail ; it will suffice for tho present to say
that it is wide in range, including substan
tial and elegantly illustrated books, all in
the line of the practical and useful, and
lreth in character and treatment-
Their two Juvenile magaainea, U'ni*
Awake and Uabyland , are warmly wel
comed in every part of the English-speak
ing world
We advise any of our readers who de
sire to know more about these publica
tions, to send to D. Lothrop & Co., Bos
ton, lor an illustrated catalogue.
All who visit their establishment, corner
of Franklin and Hawlcy streets, will not
only ho courteously welcomed and enter
tained, but will have tho pleasure of see
ing one of the most spacious and attract
ive book-stores in the country.
