WHAT OF SINGERLY ?
Well, it is possible to elect Colonel
Singerly. His nomination for Gov-
ernor suits the people. No one doubts

whole life is a record of uprightness,
and the strictest integrity character-

has been the champion of the interests
of the masses, devoting his great jour-

The Republican organs have not at-

A grand opportunity presents itself
to the managers of the campaign for
Singerly, to carry the state for him.

AFTER US THE DELUGE
The country does not misunderstand
the causes which have led to disagree
ment on the tariff question. One
Democratic Senator limits the scope of
his statesmanship to the protection of
collars and cuffs, because he happens
to have a large collar and cuff estab
lishment at his home; another Sena-
tor's statesmanship is limited to the
protection of a few ore mines in his
state; another Senator's statesmanship
Is eircumscribed to his interest in coal
mines; and other Senators are interest.

It is possible that these men may de-
feat tariff legislation at this time, and
if so they will simply proclaim to the
country and to the world—After us
the deluge. If Congress shall adjourn
without passing a tariff’ bill, New
York state womld vote Republican
with anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000
majority, as a tribute to collar and
cuft statesmanship. New Jersey
would again elect a Republican Legis-
lature by a large majority, and elect a
Republican United States Senator as a
tribute to the statesmanship that shiv-
ers over a few iron ore mines, and
Maryland would surely get into the
Republican column for the first time
in many years, while Delaware could
not fail to be swept by the Republicans,
giving them a Congressman and Unit-
ed States Senator, In short, there is
not a single Northern state that would
not vote Republican in November
next if tarifl legislation should fail.
With the Democratic leaders, there-
fore, the passage or defeat of the tariff
bill is simply a cholee between a rea-
sonable chance for success aud certain
deluge.
It is childish to criticise President
Cleveland. He simply told the truth
in his letter to Chairman Wilson, and
he did not present an argument that
was not presented in the last campaign

Philipsburg is about to run politics |

may be more suitable in politics than

At the Republican state convention
a Republican glee club sang Hastings’

next day, these soft coal vocalists put

sang a song. If these prohibition
songsters can keep their throats moist

Degradation of Wheat,
There is now going on what we will
term a degradation of wheat. In our
| own valley and county, wheat, instead
of being used for bread alone, as here-
tofore, is now fed to horses and other
animals, and to poultry, because the
price of the grain has fallen so low,
and it is cheaper than corn or oats.
This is quite a reversal of the usual
order of things. That time works
many singnlar changes has never been
more fully proven than in the preva
lent low prices of wheat and the ab-
normally high figure of oats. Since
the price of oats has been compara-
tively higher than the price of wheat,
the products manufactured from oats
have been adulterated by mixing them
with products of wheat. Some of the
manufacturers of oatmeal, it is report-
ed, have been buying large quantities
of wheat recently for the sole purpose
of increasing the weight and cheapen-
ing their output. A great deal of
wheat and the products of wheat are
being used in the commercial foods
that are placed upon the market, such
as mill feeds, chops, ete. It certainly
is an abnormal state of affairs when
the grain, which, rated by its intrin-
sie value, stands high above every
other cereal, gets so low in price that
it can be used as an adulterant of foods
not only for the human family, but of
animals as well.
