Dear Bir : Here's a tale with
or four tails to it.

has an Academy,
He paints the floors
in summer vacation. It used to take
90 gallons of paint. There were two
paint-stores there, and he used to buy
( one year of one, next year of the
other ) 90 gallons year after year.
Now he paints Devoe; 60 gallons ;
and the difference is a saving of $150
8 year.
H. C.
ers, good man ; but he wouldn't take
up Devoe; so we turned to the other,
J. A. Boyd. But Fallon has found it
necessary to get a good paint to com-
plete with Devoe. He got one of the
eight honest paints. He has a big
hard ware store and is doing an excel-
lent hardware business ; but Boyd, of
course, has the run on paint—he’s a
little hardware man.
We don’t care how little or big a
man is, if he wants good paint and is
active and sound.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co,
New York.

Shielded By Creasy’'s Opponent.
The Republican nominee for auditor
general, Young, was soll
capitol commission throughout all
“grafting.” When the ommission
boasted that it had completed the
tol without expending a uite all
$4,000,000, Young acquiesced He
silent. Until after State Treas:
started the exposure Young had never
sald a word to the public upon the sub-
ject. No man was in a more advan-
tageous official position than Young to
know how the people were being de-
ceived to the extent of an extra $9,000 -
000, Yet he remained silent while the
grafters schemed to keep the whole
ugly business quiet until after the
coming election. Now this man as a
stamp speaker joims in the attempt to
enable half a humdred of the worst
members of the house of representa-
tives, not to speak of the equally venal
senatorial nominees, to sneak back,
unobserved, to Harrisburg.
Outside of Philadelphia and Alle
gheny the fdllowing 25 Republican rep-
resentatives who are all on the ma-
chine’'s present tickets, voted for the
measures which would have checked
the serving of warrants by licensed
detectives, deputy constables or such
special officers as were used by Mr
Gibboney an) his colleagues against the
gpoak-eanies, vice dens and gamblers
protected by a corrupt municipal ad-
ministration:

“These measures were prepared
by department in accordance with
a request from the state leaders
that we recommend the legislation
to increase the revenues of the
state, We are facing extraordinary
expenditures for the new capitol
and other things, and are, every
year, increasing our contributions
to charities, and the draft upon the
treasury is very heavy."
Little did anybody outside of the
clique of capitol grafters think at that
time that the object of those bills was
to make it easler to scoop millions out
of the surplus for capitol “furnishings”
and not let the general public be the
wiser. With from $12,000,000 to $15.-
000,000 surplus in the machine deposi.

stract, on the dead quiet, two or three

give to the Penrose state committee,
