They | cannot make a howl on the silver | question, since honors are about equal- | ly divided, if honors there be in such | The Republican | a miserable squabble. silverite is about as plentiful as the Democratic, and he occupies an equal- ly high and important place in his party’s counsels. In this dreadful situation, and when the country does not seem to be rally- ing around the banner of the G. O. P., the only thing left is to give the Brit- ish lion’s tail a twist every now distance, The best thousand miles cy of the Democ atic dent, in a cheap sneer, “Grover,” anywhere on this western hemisphere, be of help to the country.

Then Nicaragua waked up to fact that something must be done, and the money and apologized. When this was done, England retired and the incident was over to the infinite disgust and disappointment of the blow-hards who hoped that we might somehow get into a war about it and give them a chance to make money by swindling the government in way or other. Every government must maintain the safety and dignity of its official representatives, and any other government that would try to prevent it from so doing, would be in the wrong and soon find itself in very hot water. We are not set for the defense of any other land but our own. Washington told us to keep clear of entangling al- lianeces; and the “Monroe Doctrine,” of which we hear so much, has not the slightest application to the case of Nicaragua. Those who assert that it has, proclaim their ignorance of the principles set forth by President Mon- roe, who was not such a fool as to com- mit us to the defense of all the wild, ungovernable peoples who in Central and South America change their gov- ernment almost every Saturday night. For the true “Monroe Doctrine,” the American people will ever stand, as they stood against the French years ago for putting the Austrian prince on a throne in Mexico; but as for this bas- tard “Monroe Doetrine’’ which the “jingoes’’ are now trying to foist on the country, the people will have none of it, and every lover of Peace and Good-will and Commercial Intercourse will be glad because the Administra- tion was not made up of “high-fliers” whose statesmsnship consists in their ability to ery “mad dog’’ every time a British ship heaves in sight. Having failed to create any considerable feel ing among the people against the Dem- ocrats because they did not put on war paint and go down to scare the British away, the jingoes will be forced to look Te re io into the Con- necticut legislature—and the resolu- tion was knocked into a cocked hat when another member moved that one regiment of cavalry and one of in- fantry be placed upon the Brooklyn bridge which should be loosed from its moorings and floated down there fo frighten away the English, The leg- | islature would have saved some of its credit had there been a wise man pres- | ent to puncture the wind-bag in this very effective way.—Lewisburg Jour- nal. sp fp A A —— { THAT is a good move in California, | just adopted, where the court chooses | to order it, alternate jurors—that is, | the regular panel.

The speaker directed the sergeant-at- arms to hunt up the truants and put | them under arrest. They had mostly gone to Philadelphia for a good time while the state was paying them a | good salary. Some were attending to | private business, some plead sickness, were carousing around the saloons and | some were in disreputable houses, It would have been a blessing if on- ly every mother's son of 'em had ske- daddled from Harrisburg and put an | end to the circus that is disgracing the | Old Keystone at the state capital.

The first house erec- | ited in the “wilderness town’ was { built by John Henry Simler.

This is the centennial year for Mil- ton. The town was laid out in 1795, The site of Lock Haven in 1833 was a cornfield. The town was laid out by | Jeremiah church in 1834, a i msi Well Rendered.
