MEETING OF THE RElTBLICiN COUXTY ( OLMITTEE. The members of the Republican Coun ty Committee of Forest County are here by notified to meet at the Shorilfs Office, Tionosta, Pa., Monday evening, Sept. '20, IS!)!), at 7:30 o'clock, for the purpose of nominating a candidate to AH the vacan cy in the Republican County Ticket caused by the death ot the Republican nominee for Jury Commissioner, George W. Dunkle. And for the transaction of such other business as may come before them in connection with the present cam paign. A full attendance is earnestly requested. F. P. Walker, Chairman. J. T. Dale, Secretary. Tay Your Taxes. Unless you have paid a State or County tax within two years, and that at least thirty days prior to election day, you cannot vote. Republicans in all sections of the county must not neglect this im portant duty. Taxes must be paid in person or on a writteu order. The time for payment is drawing to a close. Pay up at once. Amksican history affords no instance ol the success of a party conducted to pulldown the flag or to renounce terri tory gained by treaty. Massachusetts leads all the states in furnishing soldiers for the Philippines. Edward Atkinson's ability as a recruit ing officer deserves a testimonial. It is easy to believe that Capt. Drey fus feels far more serene than his accus ers and judges. He will have the verdict of the world and history on his side. Democratic speculations as to whoth cr McLean is running for the vice presi dency or the Senate betrays a consensus of opiniou that he will never be Govern or of Ohio. Admiral Dewey remarks again that victory in the Philippines will not be long deferred. The idea that the job could be lelt unfinished has never oc "urrod to Dewey. Nebraska papers report a large de mand for lands in that state. It Is quite extraordinary to note Jiow many kinds of prosperity have been visited upon Ne braska by the defeat of Bryan. Dewey is crossing the Atlantic home ward bound. lie has done the country a great service since be last saw its shores, and will find but few who regard his vic tory as as unwelcome incident. Uncle Sam is getting into shape . an extensive smokeless powder plant. One of the first lessons of the Spanish war was that we had not kept up with the times in the important item of gunpowder. Don't delay the matter of paying your State or County tax. Attend to it now and avoid the p ssibilty of forgetting it, and thus losing your vote. Taxes must be paid at least 30 days previous to election day. Liept. Gov. Gobin has issued a writ for a special election to fill the vacancy in the Beaver-Washington Senatorial dis trict caused by the death of Colonel Hawkins. The election will be held on the date of the general election in No vember. It is understood that Mr. McLeon, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, has temporarily rented his rest aence at Washington, 1). C. He has no intention of permanently disposing of it as a borne. Mr. McLean irequently goes out to Ohio. Business failures in the United States, according to Bradstreet's, continue re markably small. For the week ending September 7 they were only 123, against 131 last year, and 308 in the csrrespond ing week of 18'J6, when Mr. Bryan was telling people from rear platforms of the dire calamity in store for the countiy In case of the rejection of his free silver proposition. August exports from this tariff and trust-ridden country were the largest in the history of our commerce. Tbev amounted to $104,648,436, against $84,565. 661 in August of the phenominal year, 18, and $80,825,050 in August, 1897, while In the Augusts of the years 1894, 1895 and 1890, the averago was but about $i0,000,000. Yet, the next Democratic stump orator who comes along will prob ably tell you that the protective tariff is running our foreign markets and that the trusts are destroying our domestic industries. Juixik WniTK, of the Allegheny courts, made a ruling in divorce cases the other day that it would be well for other courts in the State to adopt. The Judge discov ered that in a large majority of cases t. at came up for bearing, notica had not been served upon the respondent, and wher ever such notice could have beon served he ruled the case out. The court officers made the excuse that it bad not been the custom to serve notice on respondents in divorce cases, but the Judge gave them to understand that the law required such service wherever possible, and that in hi court the law would hereafter be enforced A rabid auti-expunsnou paper iu sacbusetts describes Jefferson's Louisi ana purchase s "the annexation of con tigious territory, with the full conseut of the few inhabitants occupying It." Jef ferson never asked the consent and nev er heard of it. History gives no trace of the consent. The Massachusetts editor Is surprisingly weak in handling facts. A new act signed by the governor re quires transient retail merchants in cities and boroughs to pay tax not loss than $25 nor more than t-00 a month, the amount to be fixed by coun.il. In townships, the license of such dealers will be $25 a month and made payable to tha county treasurer for the use of the school fund or the township. There is a flue of not less than $100 nor more than $200 for fail ure to obtain the license. It will he noticed that Senator Hanna declares silver is still the leading issue. Republicans undoubtedly hope the Dem ocrats will keep this issue to the front. It is to the interest of the Republicans to coax or force the Democrats to keep shouting for 10 to 1. All the whoops for the platform of 1896 are encouraging to the Republican party. The Republicans can win on any issue hich the Demo crats select, but a repetition of the silver lunacy will make the Republican victory easier and greater. The fact that the money in cir culation in the United States has in creased nearly $450,000,000 since Mr. Bryau's nomination, is likely to prove quite embarrassing io the Democratic or ators whose leaders are everywhere In sisting on making free-silver the leading issue in the campaign of 1809 and 1900. The money in circulation in the United Slates on July 1, 1696, just prior to the nomination of Mr. Bryan, was $1,506,434,- t6, and on September 1, 1890, $1,942,131,- 141. Mill Not Be Fooled, Again. The country is experiencing even greater prosperity than it did the first years of the McKinley tariff, and it is ev ident that the Democracy will make a poorer showing in next year's ca . paign than it did in 1896. There will be abso lutely nothing for it to stand upon in its appeals to workingmen. Laboring men ot all kinds are in demand and wages are high and advancing. The country is be ing scoured for skilled help, and com mon every day laborers are sought for without, the demand being supplied. The coke regions want 15,000 men, every shipyard is straining its resourses to keep up with contracts, cars sufficient to carry coal from the bituminous regions cannot be obtaiued, the iron companies are rushed beyond all reason, and shops of all kinds and railroads are crowded with business. Workingmen were fooled in 1892 by a clamor for a change, but they will not be iu 1900. Ottawa (111.) Republican. ill Instructive Comparison. A comparison of the present prosper ous times with 1896 will show what the fear of a Democratic administration and a cheap dollar will do for a prosperous country. Then everything was in doubt; business was at a standstill ; no one en gaged in a new enterprise (unless it was some charitable association in some of the large cities started a new soup house to feed the starving;) capital sought places of safety and was afraid of investment; labor was thrown out of employment and the industries of the country were idle or running on half time. Why all this stagnation in business? What made these hard times in 1896? There was possibility of electing Bryan and chang ing the monetary system from the gold to the silver standard. Not a bank would loan a dollar on ninety days' time one or two montus before the election, it made no difference what the security was. Why? Because every bank knew that if the change came It meant a panic and "runs" would be made on all banks and that the worst panic that ever swept over the country would follow quickly the news of Bryan's election, and bank ruptcy would be general. Having passed through these distressing times and hav ing seen the sudden change for the better on the announcement of McKinley's election; having seen these banks open their doors within a week after the elec tion and make extensive loans that they bad but recently refused; having seen the times grow gradually better until to day the whole country Is happy, pros perous and contented ; isn't it strange to see a party clamoring for the same man and the same policy that produced the hard times that prevailed in 1896? Of course there is no one alarmed now, be cause it would be hard to find a well posted person that believes that Bryan had a ghost of a chance to be elected to the presidency in 1900 ; but we want to remark right here that if from any reason it should appear in the fall of 1900 that Democracy and free silver bad a chance of success you would see the same close times yon saw in the fall of 1896.
