Editorial. The dilapidated appearance of the Court House yard and surroun lings is a | disgrace to Centre county. “" - Tue Republican Commissioners of this county are an expensive investment they are neither ornamental or useful, THE misuse of the Court House and the dilapidated condition of the sur. roundings is a good indication of the manuer in which the Republican Com. missioners conduct the offices of this County. - - p— Tue reason why Decker and Hender- son give every little side show full use of the Court House was that they got complimentaries, and the tax.payers must bear the expense, im Ur to this time the transportation de. partment of adjutant general's office has sent out tickets to over 9.000 veterans who are entitled to free transportation to Gettysburg on Pennsylvania Day.

Hustings still finds time is evident from the work of the con- vention on Tuesday. Hastings was in Bellefonte last week and set up the whole affair. Jim Coburn, by appoint. went with Hastings, got the Asso Judge plum for Mich. Musser, and Bellefonte, as a blind to the Dale broth. ersand family, was allowed to go by default. They treated the Dale com. mangled them on Monday in the con. vention. Fleming was the slated candidate from the start. The whole pack of Bellefonte politicians backed him, It was not a contest between two men but by the Bellefonte-Hastings-Combine against one man and he was G. Guyer Mattern, a dozen dogs on one. When the convention met Mattern came up { and took his “quinine like a man. The convention was nothing but a big circus in charge of the Hastings faction. It reminded one of the old song ring, the band begins to play—boys { around the monkey cage had better keep away. Ah, boys quit poking sticks at the sick monkeys—‘‘Ask me no questions and 1°11 tell yon no lies.” This is most Re publican friends of the county. are havibg a circus and menagerie all among themselves and all is not serene and lovely: The boys who fool around the “monkey cage” (office seekers) gen. ind ! the re is a constant Kicking when ring appropriate to our po Ye v Hy " 11s | erally get sheir fingers nipped badly | master, “biglDan’’ cracks his whip and j orders the performances to begin. the actors age ambitious and want to be | the | | “stars” in each act and carry off j honors.

Since then Abe Miller, of Pleasant Gap, who has been living off | the government the last fifteen years put in a bid, His claims were that he had; { bought mules and horses and sold them to the government during the war at a fat price ; had been in the service a short time, was wounded was stil] compelled to serve, for many years since, his country in the capacity of whiskey gauger at Haag's distillery, at the mis. erable small pittance of from two to four dollars for about two hours work each day. Then to add to it, the Pension de- partment thrust several thousand dol. lars in front of him which he was com. {pelled to accept and invest profitably, {In fact, considering all things the gov | ernment in the last ten or fifteen years | have burdened (¥) hum to the tune of about eighteen thousand.

Then there is Guyer Mattern kicked and cuffed, disappointed and abused by | his party. He stood back last time at | the request of the ring and this time | Was most unceremoniously shoved aside | by a ring candidate. Yea verily there is { trouble abroad and “Dan” is aware of { rebellion and dissentions, petty quarrels { and strifes and knows that the *“‘Dale Bro's., wild shoved aside and is becoming a formid. west” can not be easily able rival.

The cabinet is of solid walnut with the entire outside worked in most beautiful designs and ornamentations by use of a bracket saw, which requires a vast amount of careful work and an abun. dance of’patience. The cabinet is about vided into sections. From the top down on each side are aseries of porches supported by pillars, The cabinet has a number of drawers in the lower part which form suitable receptacles. Above is a door which opens from the top and forms a ladies writing desk, beautifully ornamented, { on the inside and contains a mirror. The upver part of the cabinet has two large doors with panels beautifully ornament, ed. When opena large mirror appears. On either side of these doors four small- er ones wili be found which form re. ceptacles suitable for a ladies toilet. On either side are suitable places for statuettes, The whole is surmounted by a caste] lated top, This piece of workmahship is worth seeing as it is some thing rare in its line and a most beautiful piece of furniture which is both ornamental and | useful, 3 .-——— } - All the New Woolens for the com- | ing season now being received, Liber. al discount for early orders, during the {dull season.®* Our Fall stock will be {the finest we have ever shown. {and a good fit guarantesd, | Moxroomenry & Co., Tailors. ——— ~The Military Band of Milton, Pa., | distuinguished itself at Atlantic Cit | Inst week by entering a band tourna- | ment and carrying off the first prize of 8300.
