WORK FOR McKINLEY,
The “advance agent of prosperity”
seems to be neglecting his business, by
permitting the following industries to
shut down :
Mabley & Co., a Detroit clothing
firm, has shut down.
The Sioux Falls, 8. D., national
bank has failed.
The largest carpet mills in the world
located in the state of New York, has
closed down, putting 4000 men out of
employment.
The great wire nail trust collapsed a
few days ago.
Mill and factory starter, McKinley,
should stop all this shutting down, he

mediate prosperity for all, even down

Just now the clatter of the chopper-
ing machine can be heard every day,
as a chorus to the dying squeal of the
porker.
A country butchering does not wind
up with a hoe-down like a flitting, but
in the lower counties of York, Lan-
caster, Lebanon and Berks, it winds
up with a “metzel soup’, which when
well seasoned, Is more excellent than
an oyster soup. Up here ig Centre
county, alas, the majority of families
don’t seem to be posted on it. A
“metzel soup” is made up from the
choicest juices of the boiling meats
and boiled wursts, to which are added
vegetables and seasoning, to make it
a soup of delicious flavor.

butchering to let our city cousins see
that while they may think us green

Ex-Senator Walsh, of Ga, now vis.
iting Washington, retains the editori-
al faculty of stating the situation ina
nut-shell. He said: “It isto be sin-
cerely hoped that prosperity will come
to the country through the incoming
administration. Every patrici hopes
for that. The Republicans will have
the responsibility, and if their meth-
ods and policies are for the general
good, to them will belong the credit.
But if they fail to carry out the. prom-
ises they have made, that if entrusted
with power, great benefit would ac-
crue to the country, then the Democ-
racy will meet them at Phillippi. Any
man who reckons that the Democrat-
ic party is dead is making a serious
mistake. If I am not greatly mistak-
en it will be very much alive in 1900."
Those who always jump to conclu-
sions have taken it for granted that
McKinley would send to the Senate
for ratification, the treaty negotiated
during the last days of the Harrison
administration, providing for the an
nexation of Hawall, which was with-
drawn by Mr. Cleveland. He will do
nothing of the sort. Hels opposed to

Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing to do is to eat apples
just before going to bed. The apple
has remarkably efficacious medicinal
properties. It is an excellent brain

other fruit. It excites the action of

mouth. It helps the kidney secretions
and prevents calculous growths, while
it relieves indigestion and is one of the

The Paper Mast Come Out.
There is truth in the following from
an exchange: ““There is one matter
at a disadvantage in time of money
stringency as compared with the man-
ufacturer. The publisher never finds
a time when he can shut down his
plant and lay off his employes, except
when he reaches a point where he be-
comes a “busted community” so to
speak. The paper must be tarned out
every week and the expenses continue
right on just ithe same as when money
was plentiful.”
One Way to be Happy,
Is to attend to the comfort of your
