Dowigr, Elijah the ITI, has opened the campaign for Roosevelt, by an address the other day in Carnagie Hall, New York. The prophet is for Roosevelt, There are other false prophets for Roose- velt, All the false prophets in America are for Roosevelt, Dowie will perform his feat of crawling on hands and feet on platforms during the campaign in order to draw crowds to his monkey show to help Roosevelt, Dowie may even come around to Bellefonte and preach the doctrine of G. O. P, salvation and cowboy practices. Dowie is a mil- lionaire by fleecing his flock and will ad. vocate the cause of millionaires and Roosevelt, Elijah the First was for God and the poor of whom himsel{ was one, Elijah the Third is for Rooseyelt and the rich, lives in first class hotels, wears jewelry and rides in Pullmans. The old Elijah traveled in bare feet, was clad in sheep skins and ate locusts and wild honey. Dowie is a different breed of cats and is for Teddy. "1 Root generously | side afew i {and capacious mind | Government, ‘ple experience | as THE KEYNOTE. At the Republican National Conven- tion in Chicago, last week, the speech of Elibu Root was supposed to sound the keynote of the campaign, He went there as President Roosevelt's close poli tical advisor and friend, The speech was a literary gem, but for logic and fact, in many instances was flagrantly weak. The Philadelphia Record pays its respects to Re wt! 8 speech as follows, which is about correct : “Mr. Root was selected by the Presi. dent to be temporary chairman of the convention that he might strike the key. note of the campaign in the opening | | speech, This note is the divine right of the Re. publican party to rule the country.

Populists are at heart Republicans, instead of dividing the the Republican leaders expected, | Weaver divided the Republican vote | The whole tariff system is a system So far as business prosperity favors the party in power, and its reverse stimulates a demand for a change, the present situa- tion is far more favorable to the Demo- crats than was that of twelve years ago. Then the country was enjoying such pros- perity as it had never had before. Now the country is not only reckoning up the losses in a stock shrinkage of eighteen months, but the iron and textile indus tries are by no means in the condition they were in a couple of years ago, and the rafiroads are discharging thousands of men on account of the dallness of trade. The Democrats only need a thorough- ly Democratic candidate and platform, free from all taint of Populism, to go into this campaign under more favorable au- spices than those under which they en- tered any campaign since the civil war, Ture New York World expresses its confidence that Parker will be nominat. ed for president by the democratic con vention at St. Louis next week. The World's canvass leads it to say that he may be nominated on first ballot and be- yond a doubt on second ballot. On first ballot some votes may be cast for Gray, some for Cleveland and for Hearst also, After the first ballot, if there is no nom. ination, these candidates will be dropped and their delegates will vote for Parker, with perhaps a few exceptions, Parker bas a majority of instructed delegates but it has an old rule with the ; ocrats that the nominee must have two: thirds of the votes to nominate, they are ju | ; claim ti | | | { sume a § : A and won states have | '0 NEW v SCHOOL BUILDING. The Board Has Decided to Expend Over | £35,000 on it, Pictures of the proposed enlargement of the present stone school building were published in the papers last week, The improvement suggested would entail an expenditure of over $30,000. quiry we learned that the Upon in- school board had accepted the plans made by Archi- tect Robt Cole, The fact is, he practi. cally was employed by them to furnish such plans and they hardly could do any- thing else but accept the plans, but it is not necessary therefore to erect a build. ing The bull board of the school been authorized to go on and ling committee has build the annex. They expect to put down the foundations this fall and finish the structure next summer, It will be of sam2 quality of stone as the present bulldiog, which is from a quarry along the Snow Shoe railroad, This improve- of reach ment entails an estimated expense $30,000, which more likely will £40,000.

"The Republican platform is boastful," claiming for the Republican party all that has been accom plished by the citi. pens of the United States in the past forty years, most of which is not due to any party or any party policy. “The Republican ‘me and gives ion, in " COnuGAr t what making eYer mm nothing con J juestion, outiin no policy fo Philippines, and the ouly ecoaideration it shows to the labor- ing man is to promise bim pusishment if he violates the law “But, as he is sure to get that, any bow, it does not come in the nature of a glad surprise, “The Republican platform gives no in dication of what is to be expected of the party, and one mast conclude after read. ing it that the Republican leaders have no present plans for dealing with present problems A Study for Patriots The following sanguinary statistics are not the record of casualties in a battle but of the killing and maiming in last year's celebration of the Fourth of July in the land of the free and the home of the toy pistol and the joyful torpedo.
