This leaves the entire field to ‘Gotlieb Bonnestiel."’ THE workingmen's dinner pail having become empty on account of the high prices set upon 'em by the Trusts, now the housekeepers’ coal pail has become empty on account of the coal trust barons refusing to arbitrate the strike trouble There are a goodly number of other empties in necessaries mn store for the people if these Trusts are not curbed by the voters at the coming election NINETENTHS of the strike troubles have arisen under rupublican rule. In the way back years of democratic ad. ministration of the government, strikes were unknown and the government so conducted as not to breed discontent among the working classes. Under re. publican trust fostering policy the mass es have been feeling a heayy band of organized capital laid upon them and eating out the substance of the people, That's the kind of nest in which strikes are bred. — : EMPLOYEES of the Penonsy vania rail road must pay their debts hereafter or forfeit thei” positions. They bave no alternative the matter and if the money for jnst debts is not paid within mn a reasonable time the railroad will cease to continue the men's names on the pay rolls. Such is an order sent out from Philadelphia. All divisions have receiv. ed the manifesto and al! ingly. Such a requirement is just, will be insisted upon in other lines of business in the future w——o— w— must act accord- and IT is said the republican campaigners will have a huge ball twenty feet in di. ameter constructed which they will roll across the State from Philadelphia to Erie. There is merit in this plan. It will serve to keep enthusiastic heelers in wholesome and innocent employment Whilst they are rolling their ball the men who do honest labor in rolling mills and in rolling wheelbarrows will roll up a vote for Pattison, Gathrie and Nolan, There is more than one way to ‘keep the ball a-rolling.” While these fellows are rolling in wealth, the laboring masses are teing rolled fut poverty. IT's slightly unfair for the organs of the trust party to endeavor to dodge enormous iniquities they have been guilty of against the people by crying “don’t trust the democrats.” That's a stereo, type phrase, and is the beginning and the end of what they can say. There is absence of logic and a fill of cowardice in the their caution. Not in a single in. stance do they specify what the demo- crats have done that they should not bave the confidence of the people. The party has lived from the days of Wash. ington down to date, and from a little strip bas made the country great and gave it a glorious history from the revolu. tionary war down to the war of 1812, the Mexican war, gave to the civil war its best generals and thousands upon thous ands of its rank and file to battle for the Union, likewise in the Spanish war, Up to the period that the democratic party went out of power, it did nothing but what stands as a glorious page in the history of the country. It saw a half dozen changes of party names by the op- position, and saw and attended the fun. eral of all of them, It legislated for the good of the masses and was called bless. ed by the people. No trusts, strikes, ballot staffing fraudulent registration, ripper bills, and franchise steals, sully the escuicheon of the democracy. The organs of the trusts have nothing to fall back upon but the cry of “Stop thief.” We cannot put more grand history in so brief a space in the colums of the Cen. tre Democrat, PATTISON COMING. Thursday will be the big day at Exhibition, Centre Hall, everybody will turn out to hear and sce Robt. E. Other men will be there on the same Grange as Pattison. prominent day. Ex-Gov. Pattison and party will come to Centre Hall on the early morning train by way of Lewisburg, Coburn, reaching Grange Park at 8:18 a. m, At 110'clock the pavilion will be occupied, when ad. dresses will be made. The party will leave at 3.30 p. m, for Huntingdon by way of Bellefonte, Let there be a general outpouring of all people interested in good govern. ment. Ex-Gov. Pattison is a forceful speaker and will talk on issues that in. terest every farmer, citizen and tax. paver. Pattison deserves a hearty wel. come; turn out on this occasion. - UNWARRANTED The Keystone Gazette broke out in an attack on Sheriff Brungart, last week, severely criticising his manner of con- ducting the sheriff's office. Mr. Brun. gart does not believe that the county prison should be made a public recep: tion hall, for criminals to receive and entertain friends, and for the public to ATTACK. gaze about promiscuously at those who are in confinement. For that reason no one can gain admission, unless he has an extraordinary reason. In the case of the twolmen confined on the charge of murder, he has absolutely refused ad. mittance to all, excepting This may but attorneys re- tained by them. seem harsh and seyere to some, on i thought the course must be approved. The sheriff is responsible for the securi- ty of the inmates, and visitors can easily smuggle tools to them and assist in an escape. There is curiosity, for requests from the public, to no limit, see Miller and Beckwith and one man would be kept busy as turnkey should the public generally be admitted. We think Sheriff Brungart is right in this, and we believe the public will dorse his course. All uewspapermen, the writer included, were refused the op- portunity to interview these prisoners, no favoritism was shown, When Robt, sheriff, the jail became a regular rendezvous questionable characters who visited the prisoners. Nome of that will be tolerat- ed by Mr. Brungart, and he is right If Mr. Brungart were a republican, en. Cooke was for stead of using invective and abuse. That | an echo in the hearts and mi is all that ails Harter and he is belittling himself instead of injuring the sheriff, DESPISED “MECHANIC.” The following, fr publican, if true and we have not seen it dented, is a pretty sure indication of the style of man on the republican ticket for Congress : “When Solomon R. Dresser was a mem bor of Council in Bradford only a few years ago, after he began to make money and feel his oats, he tried very hard to have the name of the street on which his residence was located changed from “Mechanic” to something more enphoni ous and wsthetic. Mr. Dresser was so determined and vigorous in the matter | that he talked about moving off the street | unless his wishes were acceded. The whole matter is of record up in Bradford and can be vouched for by the other members of council who served with Dresser at the time. Now D. KE. Hibner is a different kind of man entirely. He can grasp a mechanic by the hand, look him squarely in the eye and tell him he is glad to know him, for he is a man of the common people himself." A REPUBLICAN FOR PATTISON, While at Reading Hon. Robert E. Pat. tison received the following telegram from Penrose A McClain, of Philadel. phia, who was collector of internal reve. nue under President McKinley : “Put me in the Pattison column for de- cent and honest politics and good govern. ment, Please accept my best wishes.” Tar two proposed constitutional amendments now being advertised are not to be voted upon this year. They will first have to go through another Legislature, Tus issue of the Democrat is given up largely to political matter. Last week it was on the murder trial. Politics may not interest the average reader as much as the incidents of a murder trial, but it is decidedly more important to him, We consider it the duty of every man to vote, and to vote intelligently and con. scientionsly be must be informed on the issue lavolved. In another column, on pages 1 and 3 we give the speeches made by Ex-Governor Pattison and Geo, W. Guthrie, accepting the nomination at the head of the Democratic Stale Ticket this year, In this address these gentle. men in a clear, concise and compact manner set forth why they are on the ticket, the evils that confront the people due to ring rule at Harrisbarg, and what these men will do, if elected.

They know how all classes of the people suffer under misrule. They understand the wicked of the political know ways They promises of men without conscience or highwayman. how worthless are the principle. Therefore they see clearly and speak out boldly in the present contest. The action of representative railroad workers, speaking for an or ganization numbering scores of thou pandas of honest and courngeous publie sorvants, as they really are, is signifi cant of the state of public feeling in Pennsylvania at this time. It shows how deep and widespread Is the dis gust of the people and the determina tion to turn the rascals out and. re store honest government. The short and sure road to this end Is the elec: tion of an executive and associates and a legislature worthy of public trust. It will be shown a hundred tinfes in this campaign that Quaylsm and Pon nypackerism mean the same thing. According to his own declarations, a vote for the machine candidate for governor moans endorsement of the work of the machine and the perpetus tion of its power. This Is the straight lssue before the people. RECENT DE ATHS. Rey.

In the satirical musical comedy, “A Hot Scotch Major,” which comes to Garman's opera house, Thursday, Sept. 18, under the direction of Shipman Bros., they are seen at their best. From start to finish, the comedy is a laughable series of com- plications the end of which is a mystery, until the climax of the last act. The cast contains thirty people, every one of whom was expressly selected for their particular fitness for the role they were to assume. In this way a beantifully balanced cast has been engaged and the result is a performance without a flaw, Manager Garman instructs us to say that this will be one of the finest and best musical comedies ever seen in Belles fonte, The woodbouse and corncrib of Milton Kerns, near Millheim, were destroyed by fire on this, Thursday, morning. was You should hear Pattison at the Grange Picnic, on Thursday. and leaves a | { twenty five years the contributions reach.
