MAKE IT COUNT.
Machine's Corrupt Methods Should be Ex
2 posed la Every Quarter,
With the opening of the campaign
at Allentown, Beptember 30, a discus-
sion should begin which will reach to
every part of the Btate and count for
something this year and next, The
Machine has decided to play the policy
of silence and depend upon its usual
corrupt methods, aided by the slumber-
ing conscience of the voters, to win,
Bo much the greater reason why the
opposition including honest members
of all parties whose co-operation is in-
voked in the platform adopted at the
recent Democratic State Convention
should speak with all energy to those
abuses which are corrupting the politi-
cal morals and wrecking honesty of ad-
ministration in State, city and county
affairs. The Machine which usurps
the name of Republican, even if it were
to lnunch upon a speaking campaign,
would not be so foolhardy as to discuss
Htate questions. Its orators would
thresh over their antique buncombe in
relation to the’ beauties of a high pro-
tective tariff, paint glowing pictures of
a prosperity which now seems to be
somewhat in jeopardy in the matter of
over-inflated corporations in which the
party of the Machine is so deeply in-
terested, rattle off well-learped plati-
tudes about the party of Lincoln and
Grant, and stop at that,
A matter demanding greater atten-
tion and more thorough exposure than
it has ever had, is the distribution for
political purposes of the millions of
dollars of State funds in banks of the
State. In the State are five banks
which are drawn upon for the current
business of the Commonwealth, and
which pay one and one-half per cent.
upon their daily balances of State
moneys. Other State depositories not
so drawn upon pay two per cent. a
year, Officers of some of these banks
have admitted contributions of one
per cent. of the amount of the State
deposit. At the first of this month
the deposits aggregated about $17,000,
000. This of itself, provided all the
banks contributed 1 per cent., not to
mention other grafts, would give the
corrupt combination $170,000 annually
for s campaign fund. This is a matter
which the masses of voters have never
plainly understood, and they should
understand it,

The Bellefonte Daily News says:
Mrs. I. J. Wierback, of Monessing,
and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Alfred
Fisher, of McAllisterville, and the lat-

at the home of Dr. P. Fisher at

gie Fisher and although it is many
years since she reigned as a belle in
Boalsburg to her old acquaintances
she is just as vivacious as ever.
8. R. Downing, Esq., of Chester
county, attended the Grange En-
campment. He was one of the lectur-
ers of the State Grange during its ear-
ly days. Bixty years ago Mr. Down-
ing, in company with General Irvin,
traveled by canal boat from Harris-
burg to Lewistown, and from the lat-
ter point to Bellefonte, passing
through what is now Centre Hall by
stage coaches, which made daily trips
between the county seats of Centre
and Mifflin counties,
Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Farner and fami-
ly, of Philadelphia, are at present at
Potters Mills, Mrs. Faroer's former
home. Mr. Farner has been in the
railway mail service for two years, and
during the past year he has been on a
mail train between New York and
Pittsburg. His position is one of great
responsibility, but one well filled by
him. Itis evident that the young
men who can point to Potler town-
ship as their birth place need only an
opportunity to prove that they have
ability to fill almost any honorable
station in life,
Among others who sttended en-
