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 a ctions
of the county must not neglect this im
portant duty. Taxos must be paid in
person or on a written order. The time
for payment is drawing to a close. Pay
up at once.
L. G. Reynolds for Jury Commissioner.
The Republican County Committee
met at the court house Monday evening
for the purpose of placing in nomination
a person for Jury Commissioner to fill
the vacancy on the Republican ticket
caused by tho death of Geoige W.Dunkle,
the regular nominee. The meeting was
called to order by Chairman Walker, who
briefly siatod the object lor which it was
called. The following candidates wore
named: W. E. Witherall of Hickory,
Levi G. Reynolds of Barnett, Geo. W.
Osgood of Kingsley, A. W. Stroup of
Tionesta twp. It was agreed to drop the
lower candidate aftor each ballot. This
resulted in the loaving of Reynolds and
Osgood as the candidates on the thi'd bal
lot which resulted, Reynolds 10, Osgood
8, and Chairman Walker declared Mr.
Reynolds the duly nominated candidate.
The meeting then adjourned.
Partisan mouthing about the trusts is
a poor apology for an intelligent and
practical treatment of the subject.
Don't put off the payment of your
taxos any longer. Sept. 7 is the latest
date if yon would be entitled to a vote
this fall.
Dreyfus is pardoned by France and
vindicated by the world. He need have
no fear that history will mistake the fact
iu his case.
Yellow papers are trying to impress
upon the public that they will be first
and Dewey second at the coming recep
tion in New York.
During Cleveland's last administra
tion the lorelgn exports of the United
States averaged $07,000,000 a month. Thus
far during McKinley's term the average
has beon $92,000,000 a month.
Don't delay the matter of paying your
State or County tax. Attond to it now
and avoid the possibilty or forgetting it,
and thus losing your vote. Taxes must be
paid at least 30 days previous to election
day.
The reception to Admiral Dewey at
New York will be one of the greatest
events that metropolis has ever exper
ienced. He is expected to reach the city
on the cruiser Olympia Friday or Sat
urday of this week.
Wk have listened a long time to hear
some enthusiastic Democrat set forth as
an additional claim in favor of Bryau's
election to the Presidency, bis close re
semblance to Prof. Munyon, the rheu
matic cure man.
Me. Bryan says, "If the people are in
earnest they can break up monopoly."
When Democratic politicians are in earn
est about monopoly thoy will attack it
squarely and not wonder off to make war
on the protective tariff.
The possibilities for commercial great
ness is almost beyond comprehension,
when wh consider the fact that the Phil
ippines are the d;or to the trade with
Asiatic countries which annally consume
more than a billion dollars worth of for
eign goods.
There is every assurance of a most
vigorous cotnpaign in the Philippines.
Troops are rapidly being rushed forward,
and before many months the friends of
George Washington Auginaido will be
looking for another job than trying to en
courage an enemy of their country.
The Domocratio party is like some
soured old nurse who to frighten child
ren to make them mind tells them of
bugaboos. The present spectre is the
secret allience young Mr. Bailey, or Tex
as, says we have with England, ir he
continnos, lie will frighten himseir.
The islands which have recently come
under control of the United States were
annually importing over flOO.000,000
worth of goods. Of this amount we were
lurnishing less than 18 por cent. The
commercial advantage to the United
States is quite apparent, as we will now
secure the greater part of this trade.
Said a Warren merchant this week:
"It isn't over-production that bothers
our manufacturers at present; it is too
much consumption. People have mon
ey, want the goods and we can't get our
orders filled rapidly euough to suit our
prosperous customers, who apparently
have money to burn." m A remedy for
this is to elect Bryan and there will not
bo so much troublesome prosperity.

The old Joke that "ministers' sons are
ne'er-do-wells" is not borne out by the
facts in thisStato. It is a singular coinci
deice that all three or the Republican
candidates on the State tickot James E.
Barnett, J. Hay Brown and Josiah R.
Adams are sons of clergymen. The re
tiring State Treasurer, James S. Beacon,

Church.
means doteat to the Democratic party,
Belmont wants free silver dropped. Gor
man is not much on trusts ; Morgan is
an imperialist on a grand scale j McLean
and Carter Harrisou can get along with'
out the 10 to 1 remedy. To satisfy them
all Col. Bryan will have to bo a skillful
contortionist. Or perhaps he has studied
the occult sciences in India, and is ready
like the fakirs or that country to make
people hear each what he wishes and see
what is not there.
Up in tho McKean, Potter and Tioga
district Hon. Walter T. Merrick will be
a candidate for re nomination by the Re
publicans to the State Senate. No abler
member graced the Senate in the last two
sessions of tho legislature, and none ever
labored with greater zeal for tho welfare
of bis people or was more successful la
piloting good laws through the legisla
ture or killing bad ones than Senator
Merrick, and his people will undoubted
ly see the wisdom or returning him with
a good majority. The passage of the bill
to provide for a new systetujof distribut
ing the pubiiC8choo funds, whereby the
the country districts gained Immensely
was very largely due to his efforts.
Emilr Zola, the French author, says
the pardoning of Dreyfus is the opening
of the fifth and last act in the drama, and
adds: "How will the act endf Drey
fus will be restored to his full rights
and his place in the army, punishment
will be meted out to the villains, and the
drama will end with a procession or
handcuffed generals led to prison or else
dark days are just beginning for Fraucej
days when justice will come with the
sword and torch and a martyr's acquittal
will be sealed with tho blood' or human
ity; days when justice will take awful
vengeance for having been cheated too
long. By vindicating Dreyfus, France
will vindicate herself. The curtain has
risen on the fifth act. The world
watches."
Crusade Against Prosperity.
The United States in many respects is
unique, but in nothing is it so strikingly
different Irom all other countries as in
the political attitude of the people toward
business. It is a common occurrence in
representative governments for the ex
isting ministry to be defeated through
the influence of bard times. Disraeli
once said that no English ministry could
withstand three bad harvests. But a
very poor ministry can keep power with
good times. This tendency to make po
litical confidence depend chiefly on busi
ness prosperity prevails iu every coun
try except the United States'.
By some peculiarity of temperament or
psychological influonco the people of the
United States seem to delight in using
their political power against business de
velopement and prosperity. Several
times in tho midst of prosperity a politi
cal movemotit has arisen demanding a
radical change in the fiscal or tariff poli
cy, resulting in the destruction of busi
ness confidence, paralysis or industry,
and sometimes a linaucial panic witness
1892-93. As the result of that we had six
years of business depression and social
hardship. Now.under a return of a form
er policy, business confidence and pros
perity have returned, and we are getting
ready to destroy it again. In 1892 the
means of attacking business prosperity
was the overthrow of the tariff, now it is
the overthrow of corporations. The war
cry is being raised from one end of the
land to the other, "Down with trusts."
This is not merely the work or a few
crank reformers and irresponsible agita
tors, but it is being made tha issue ef a
systemi.ed political campaign, supported
in numerous independent movements.
Indeed, it almost seems s if the Ameri
can people would soon bn as mad on the
trust question as the French people are
on the Dreyfus question. Guntons Mag
azine. Curfew Ordinance.
The following rorm of a Curfew Ordi
nance bas many good points, and is wor
thy a careful consideration by our coun
cil. How muc. better citizens our boys
would become under the influence or
home life at night, instead of the street :
"Children under sixteen years of age
shall not be in the streets after 8 p. m.
from October to March, both inclusive, or
after 9 p. m. iu other months, without
proper guardianship. A bell or bells
shall be rung fifteen minutes before the
appointed time, as a warning, to be called
the 'Curfew Bell,' after which a child is
required to be in bis home or off the pub
lic streets except in the company of par
ent or adult guardian, or bearing a writ
ten statement, dated that day and signed
by parent or gnardian, declaring that
faid child is on an immergency errand.
"Any child so found after the time ap
poldted shall be liable to be warned by
any constable or peace officer to go home,
and if, alter such warning, the child
shall be fouud loitering on the streets,
such child may be taken by such consta
ble to its home.
"Any parent or gardian may be sum
moned for permitting his child to habit
ually break said law, after having been
warned in writing, and may be fined for
the first offense $1, witnout costs, and for
the second offense $2, and lor the third.or
any subsequent offense fo.".
Mails to be Weighed.
Postmaster Knox, in common with
every other postmaster in the United
States, has received orders to the effrct
that beginning on October 3 and continu
ing for tnirty-five consecutive days every
mail that goes out must be weighed.
Each class or mail matter must be
weighed separately, and daily repor s
kept, one oftte incoming and the other
of the outgoing mails. At the expiration
of the thirty-five days the reports must
be sent to the Postmaster General at
Washington. Duplicate reports must be
kept iu the office. The instructions sent
to each postmaster say it is desired to get
the correct figures on "tho weight of mail
matter originating in the United States
every twenty-four hours, together with
the weight or the equipment necessary to
transport the same;" also: "the total
weight or mail matter, equipment, sup
plies, etc., passing over steam railroads
every twenty-four hours." Hence the
bags, locks and other equipments are
also to be weighed. This will be done to
furnish a new basis for making contracts
with railroads or transportation.

Some time ago the Derrick published
the fact that several Mextcan half-dime
silver pieces had been found in the pos
session or two children or Cranberry
township. The late William Kiser, who
was murdered at his home, near Elk
City, was known to have bad such coins
in his possession and It was supposed
these were the only ones in this section.
Siue then the Den-ick has been informed
of one of these coins (issue or 1876) being
in the possession of P. W. Geary, or Oil
City. On Wednesday the following very
interesting letter was received from Dr.
F. E. Allison, or New Richmond, Wis
consin, who taught school In this part or
Venango county over a half-ceutury ago:
New Richmond, Wis., Sopt. 18. In
last week's Derrick you request any in
formation from "young or old" in regard
to the "Mexican coins" recently un
earthed in Cranberry, Allow your hum
ble correspondent to "arise and explain."
Fifty-two years ago I taught school in an
old log school houso a half-mile south
east of Solina, which many of the old set
tlers now living will remember. In the
spring of 1848, when the Mexican war
broke out, Charles M. Boyles, afterward
Lieutenant Boyles, and his brother Tim
othy, sons of John Boyles, who resided
about one mile east of Sal in a, enlisted in
an Ohio regiment. The young men were
working at Hanging Rock, Ohio, at the
time or this enlistment. Timothy, when
in Mexico, strayed out among tlie chaD-
arrel in s arch of wild game; he bad shot
a nare and called to a comrade to see it.
Alter traveling some distune another re
port of a gun was heard: some Mexican
guerrillas who were watching him sur-
:riseu mm, threw a lasso around him,
litched him toauonv and he was drained
to death.
The evening following the officers of
the regiineut ran down and captured two
or the guerrillas. They were court-martialed
and shot to death in the morning.
They acknowledged having killed a sol
dier the evening before.
Lieutenant C. M. Bovles returned aftor
the war was over, aud brought some
Mexican coins with him; smallost one
being 2 cents, with the falcon, or eairle.
en one side and the figures 'i on tliu-other
(it may have been 3 cents). The oth
ers were 6-cent and 20-cent coins. The
smaller coin I reinomber distinctly; it
wes less in size than our first issue ot the
American gold dollar, and the 5-cent
pieces vere less than the American half-
dime
Some years after Miss Sarah Ellen
Brandon bad one of the halt-dimes.
These were d ted before 1840. and if any
thing of later date in shape of coins comes
ip, men we Dow in bumble submission
unto the inevitable aud further sayeth
pot.
Lieutenant Bovles was an uncle to the
Burns family, now residing ou the "old
Boj ies farm." C. M. Boyles removed to
Kansas, on the Solomon river, over 40
years ago. Dr. F. E. Allison.
The Derrick would be pleased to hear

similar coins in this vicinity. Derrick.

I suffered with diarrhoea for a long

fered so much misery that I bad almost
decided to give up all' hopes of recovery
and await the result, but noticing the
advertisements of Chamberlain's Colic,

wanderful cures had been wrought by
this remedy, I decided to try it. After
