Harmful judge as it did to nomi nate him for that office. — LOCAL candidates are making busy by tendering the very friendly hand-shake. Everything is all cream and peaches with them now. —THE strong Democratic State ticket combined with our strong con gressional and judicial candidates is going to make the chances poor for the Republicans in this county in November. _ — THE farmer who neglects to give his best influence and support to Farmer Creasy has no right to talk reduced taxation and equal rights, for he is their champion and will en deavor to represent them fearlessly and knowingly. —THAT was a pretty shrewd one Doc Samuels worked oil the Prohibi tionists when he had them endorsed him for congress. You see that party, like the directors of the defunct Hippie conpern in Phil'a, placed too much confidence in one or two men at the head, who possibly were personally benefitted, and did not learn that he was the owner of a prosperous drink ing place at Exchange, a little town near Mt. Carmel. —THERE are at the present time thirty-one negro banks, or banks wholly controlled by negroes, in the United States, with a combined capi tal of 8350,000, and holding deposits aggregating 81,192,000. Mississippi has twelve, Georgia four, Virginia six, Tennessee two, Arkansas two, and oue each in North Carolina, Florida and Alabama, and two in Indian Territory. Who says the negro is not getting along'? —THE arrival at New York of the Cunard liner Carmania, with a cargo valued roughly at more than twenty five millions of dollars, and including more than ten millions in gold ship ped to New York banks, revives dis cussion among financiers as to the necessity of this costly and hazardous method of adjoining balances between the old world and the new. Gold is thus continually shipped back and forth across the Atlantic ocean at great risk and cost, and it certainly seems that it ought to be possible to secure the result by a transfer of un questionable credits, leaving the metal undisturbed. This is one of the strauge crudities of our otherwise complicated modem financial meth ods. —THE National Department of Agriculture is experimenting with certain substances in an effort to learn from which of them denatured alcohol can bo lhade by farmers. Corn cobs and green corn stalks have been ex perimented with, and it has been dem onstrated at a cannery in Illinois that the great quantities of corn cobs which gp to waste there can be con verted into alcohol in sufficient quan tities to justify the erection of a dis tilling plant. Eleven gallons were made out of a ton of green corn stalks. But farmers have not all canneries nor green cobs, and their green corn stalks are worth more for silo fodder per ton thrice over than the six gallons of alcohol that they will produce. Will that pay ? —AND now it is intimated that the architect of that fearful and wonder ful state capitol building, who has already received some one hundred and eighty thousand dollars for his services,_ is a claimant for additional compensation to the tune of a half million of dollars, and that bis claims are so well sustained by contract that they will have to be paid, thus swell ing the twelve million dollar total of the cost of that astonishing building. No wonder Architect Huston lately expressed a complacent approval of the "furnishings" so lavishly piled upon that original appropriation of four million dollars ! He appears to have designed and supervised all of them, from the floorings to the bronze doors, where his own face grins trium phantly at the tax) lay era. & Our Seventy-Eighth Anniversary! % 11 V ITH this issue THE INTELLIGENCER starts on its W W YY seventy-eighth year of its existence, and though O y one of the oldest publications in this section it a<l- Eji lujf vances with a stride equal to any. It prides itself on being a local paper—devoting al- A M most its entire reading space to local interest, and giving its largo patronage all the news that's lit"to read (h.it arises in our midst. 1 Ihere is no olhor paper in the county or oven in y this section that enjoys tho political prestige iHE INTELLI- X 5R OENCEK does, and its over truthful and straighforward way in dealing with public questions is greatly commented up- vj Y on. It has a county circulation equal to all the other pap- v V/l ers in tho county combined, and during the last four years, CS under its present management, has greatly multiplied in 01 wjf circulation and interest and is now pn c ically the only M Democratic paper in tho county and figures with the best Iyf in this section of tho State. This is the best testimonial to our claim that THE INTELLIGENCER covers the local field A for news bettor than any other local paper does or even has and that it gives tho residents of our county the principal events more accurately and completely than any other paper X sjf circulated here can. That this is appreciated by the public J* is attested by tho fact that THE INTELLIGENCER'S circula- X tion in greater now than at any other period of its history V yf and that its business is more prosperous. W - w resenting tho highest principles and best traditions of the fcjl party, but endlessly free from control of any political fac \jj tion or of any power, corporation or individual, which con- (fa tlicts with the public good. It will be devoted to tho inter- «£ ests of its readers and will labor to advance their welfare, 35 It will be fair and just to all men, whether in or out of of- fice, and to all public measures or movements, and in its 3|£ comments upon them it will print the fact and toll the X truth. It will always unite with its newspaper contempora- 5? M rios and all good citizens to increase tho prosperity of our M city and county and make secure their honor, their peace V M and their happiness. 0 M The same are today, wore yesterday and over will bo frjf tho guiding principles of THE INTELLIGENCER. What has (y> been accomplished in pursuance thereof cannot be exagger- fjl atod nor belittled. It has been written on the face of tho i) paper each week and is known to all. It is proper to say, on this our seventy eighth an- ffiL Jv niversary, that while tho success of the paper, within tho jjk last four years, has been greater than was anticipated and X tho support of tho public has beon most gratifying, it is the J? Jr purpose of tho publisher not only to maintain the standard M that it has set but to constantly improve in all its depart- Sf jj 333: ~.. HON. JOHN G. HARMAN NAMED BY THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE THE fact that the Intelligencer has fairly acquainted its readers with the judicial situation right along, shows it has no de sire to deceive them and proposes, that, when it takes a side it will endeavor to be on the side of right and justice, anil, as it was the ONLY PAPER IN THE DISTRICT which maintained and declared for Mr. Harmun's nomination, plainly shows it cannot lie dictated to or controlled, but that it proposes to meet its readers face to face with a frank and clear conscience. Tuesday afternoon the Democratic State Executive Commit tee did only its duty by naming Hon. John G. Ilannan the Demo cratic judicial candidate in this district, after a persistent effort on the part of Grant Herring to have it appear that he was also entitled to run on the Democratic ticket, notwithstanding that the primary vote of the district declared against him. Mr. Herring now threatens to take the matter before the Dauphin county court next week, but we will assure our readers that they need not entertain any fear that the court would attempt to reverse a party rule they have no business to meddle with, for this same rule has stood for years with tho two great parties and does not conte under a state law. It is plainly seen and generally known that Mr. Herring does not entertain the slightest idea that he could be elected, but hopes to be able to manipulate politics to such an extent that ho can defeat the Democrats' choice and bo "true"(i) and "loyal"(?) to his^i) party. Montour county Democrats have now learned the true char actor of him whom they gave such a flattering vote at tho primaries and are ready to testify by casting their votes at tho November elec tion in favor of one, young, deserving, enorgetic and capable—ambi tious to rise and safe to be trusted on tho bench of our Honorable Court. The fact that Mr. Harnian met with a misfortune in the pri mal I }' contest, and was unable to meet tho people of Montour county, was lamentable and was tho cause of him not polling a much larger vote. But tho people have learned to know him. They know his people at home love and respoct him by the overwhelming majority they tendered him at their primaries, and no obstacle, not even Mr. Herring running independently (which he may ridicuously do) can koop them from casting their entire support to him. In the early part of tho campaign Mr. Harman will make a careful canvas of this county, and thus become personally acquainted with our people, who will be glad to welcome him and learn and know tho man whom they intend to help to elect as the chief dispens er of wisdom in our highest tribunal. His home county will give him two-thirds of tho entire vote polled there, and with the swell of votes from Montour he will have one of tho most handsome major ities any person could desire. — A MERCIFUL man is merciful to his beasts. We like to see our farm ers when they drive into town on a cold, stormy day, put their team in a ' barn or cover them with blankets. In ! the heat of slimmer they can always find shade iu which to leave the noble animals that brought them safely to town. There are many, however, who on cold days will rush for a stove themselves and leave their horses in the storm while in the heat of summer they neck the shade and leave their horses in the sun. There is some thing wrong about the man who thus abuses his team. He may be a nice man, may belong to the church, may not swear, smoke nor have any bad habits, but we would not want to be his horse. No, sir. Now that the hunting season is 1 rapidly approaching, we advise sports men to study up the game laws very carefully. The State authorities at Harrisburg will supply you with a copy of the game laws on request, and you can study them. If you go hunt ing and kill game not in season you arc liable to get jerked up with a round turn by a state policeman, and be assessed with a good big fine. After all the notices you have had in j regard to this you can ask for no j sympathy if you get into trouble. There was a net loss of 2,153 names from the pension roll iu the c United States in the mouth of April 1 this year leaving 987, KO6 pensioners, ' all clusaes, on the roll April 30, 1906, < including the Spanish-American war i pensioners. : i Mr. Rockefeller says that the entire country is living too fast. He is the s man who has caused most of the hust- | ling among the small dealers iu oil. 1 t Dr. Samuels, of Mt. Carmel, the Republican candidate for Congress in this district, is pulling every wire to 'be reelected. On last Friday he had ' himself nominated by the Prohibition ists for Congress in a conference held at Bloomsburg. His name will there fore appear on the Prohibition ticket as well as on the Republican ticket. The strength of the Prohibi tion party in this district is seven or eight hundred votes although they have polled for a candidate for Con gress as high as thirteen hundred votes. This move of the wily doctor's is a trick on the Prohibition party of the district. For some years Dr. Sam uels owned and rented'a hotel in Ex change, a little town near Mt. Carmel. I About two months ago the doctor ! sold his hotel in Exchange. This was 1 when he began to look to the Prohibi tion party for a nomination. It is not likely that the Prohibitionists of this district can be fooled by the doc tor's little trick. He intended to fool them or he would not have sold his hotel. The question is will such a transparent trick work ? Will the doctor fool the Prohibitionists of this district? We think not. —Northum- berland County Democrat. j Hon. John G. Mcllenry has issued : a handsome souvenir edition of the congressional conference held at Edge wood park, Shamokin, giving his and other speeches, delivered there, and has sent one to each of the 34,000 voters iu the district, which should be carefully perused and studied in order for you to be able to vote intelligently and advance good government.

STUART A DODGER IN PUBLIC SERVICE Cyclone Cellar During LastYcar's Revolution Not New to Him. HAD BEEN IN IT FREQUENTLY Journal of Select Council, in Which He Was a Member, Sliowa Amaz ing Record of Presence Without Voting on Big Questions. HIS DREAD OF CORPORATIONS Everything Likely to Make Bosses Fear He Would Be Hard to Handle as Mayor Was Carefully Avoided by Their Present Nominee. Edwin S. Stuart, Republican nomi nee for governor, has been, ever sinco he first entered public life, a dodger upon matters generally that were of vital Importance to the people whom ho was supposed to represent. Throughout his career of five years as a select councilman from the 26th ward of Philadelphia, from April, 188G, to April, 1891, his invariable custom was to dodge the votes on many of the most important questions. To ob servers aware of this fact it should not have been surprising, at the out break of the municipal and state rev olution, in May of 1905, to learn that he refused on two different occasions, when duly requested by representative citizens, to either allow the use of his name, or even to bo present at a town meeting of the citizens in the Academy of Music to protest against the proposed virtual robbery of the gas works, which forced Mayor Weav er to open war against the public plunderers. lt is a pity that a man with a pri vate life so blameless as Mr. Stuart's should have proved himself so weak and ifbiid, not only in the days of the last year and a half that "tried men's souls," but also throughout the pre vious years when he was in public office, and had great opportunities, all of which he missed, to make himself of inestimable service to the people ot' his native city. The period which he spent in the cyclone cellar, from the start of the present Pennsylvania revolution to the date of his slating by Penrose, McNichol and Martin for the governorship, was not a novel ex perience for the machine gubernato rial candidate. He was familiar with every nook and corner of that refuge from storm, for he had run into it and pulled the doors down numberless times while he was a member of the upper branch of the municipal legis lature. Backbone of India Rubber. The disrespectful cartoonists who pictured Mr. Stuart as an ancient mai den in hysterics at signt of a mouse were not far wrong in their evident estimate of him as a public servant. Despite the esteem which Mr. Stuart's personal and domestic virtues have won for him, those who know him best would find cause to pray "God save the Commonwealth!" If the state government and the duty of keeping the legislature in check were commit ted to his hands. If life should bo spared, too, and power be permitted to remain in the hands of the Phila delphia gang who made him mayor because of his record as select coun cilman, and who forced him upon the so-'called Republican party as Its can didate for governor over other leading citizens, when not a delegate had been elected or instructed for him, the peo ple of Pennsylvania will all need to pray, "God save the Commonwealth." As a select councilman, Stuart had a peculiar dread of going upon record whenever bills affecting corporations, particularly the street railway compa nies, steam railroads and electric light and power concerns, were up for con sideration. On 22 different very Im portant occasions, when questions of permitting the laying of underground conduits were before the chamber, Mr. Stuart was either absent or present as a non-voter and dodger. Every charge made in this article is substantiated by the Journals of select council,which have been carefully examined for the purpose of letting the commonwealth know what sort of public servant the McNichol-Penrose-Martin nominee has been. Those ordinarily dry-as-dust records, when scanned with no name in mind but Stuart's, become. In count lees places, as amusing as a Mark Twain narrative in the continuous ex posure of Stuart's dodging. Knew the Kind of Mayor Wanted. He is officially recorded as absent from 24 meetings of the chamber— a very large number, when It is con* sidered that., at the busiest times, se lect council did not meet oftener than twice a month. Rut his dodging when present is more interesting than all that. In every case the records make it easy to explain his absence, for whenever he was away there was something very big before the cham ber. At each of 28 meetings that he attended he dodged votes on steam railroad questions. There were 21 meetings at which the street railways were heavily interosted in bills then acted upon, but in not one of which cessions did Stuart vote upon an issue nf that kind, although he was present. His dread of going upon record when bills involving projecting shop signs, sidewalk disputes or other matters that might imperil his candidacy for the mayoralty were under considera tion, was illustrated on dozens of oc casions when he dodged such meas ures. It won't do for the Stuart campaign managers to defer answering these charges until the eleventh hour of the campaign, when it might be too late to specify dates, pages of the Jour nals and other particulars which real ly make the charges unanswerable. Now is the time for them to' begin, but they will not do it. They dare not. What is known in Harrisburg as a "call of the house," made for the purpose of ascertaining if a quorum is present, is a rare thing in the munici pal legislature, and, therefore, it would be hard to prove that in every instance referred to Mr. Stuart had not merely stepped out of the chamber for a mg- I men!-Just before his name was called. ' But if that was the case, why did he not subsequently have his name re corded? In every one of the Instances of the dodging charged against him— that is of being present but not vot ing—he is recorded as answering to his name at the opening of the ses sion. Dreaded Any Antagonism. I But at least one instance of his be ing officially caught at his dodging by •a call the house was' on November ! 22, 1888, when he was present, but did ' not vote upon an ordinance relating to projecting street signs, show cases, etc. There being no quorum voting, the roll was called to find out who I were present, and Stuart answered to his name. Some well-known "ring sters" who had been dodgers with I Stuart also answered, and showed not ! only the presence of a quorum, but I that one of the men present and pro ' venting the chamber from doing busi s ness was Stuart. Any reader who may j consider this a comparatively small matter should accompany the search er through the journals and strive to | study the motives which Stuart ha ! ■ for dodging votes in 21 different si*s j sions on bills for erection of frame buildings, and in as many more meet ings on important street improvement measures, not to speak of other do zens ol sessions in which he was pres ent, but failed to vote upon those pe culiar sorts of bills that are likely to stir up local antagonisms. Those records prove that Stuart, as a rule, was afraid to vote on measures I that were likely to Involve him in • controversy, or perhaps to make ene mies for himself. It has been said of him that he has few, if any. enemies. Tho journals of select council give the explanation. Any public nonenity can gain such a reputation by simply be ing a man of putty and never doing anything. But the fact that such a man leads an exemplary private life is no reason why the people should want to have him in the chief execu tive position of the commonwealth, where, particularly In these days of bringing the corporations to terms and wiping cutt the remnant of the looting power that has robbed and disgraced the state, the chief requi sites are not personal amiability and private Integrity, but virile vigor an 1 militant aggressiveness that can and will restore and maintain tho rights of the people. J HoW He Kept Out of Hot Water. Take a few specifications of Stu art's dodging. All the details would fill every page of this paper, and then would not be half told.

February 17. 1887, present, but not votin;; on bill repealing the popular checking rbler of appropriation to t.'.e commission erecting the new city hili. He voted cn the very next biil, an in nocuous measure, however, and just here it may he said that in nearly ev ery cno of the hundreds of capes of serious dodging by Stuart the journals show that on the bill immediately fol lowing, if it was one not likely to get him Into hot water, he invariably voted. March 31. 1887, present, but not re corded as voting on appropriation for continuing the underground electric system under Hroad street. The very next bill, as usual, got his vote. May ID. voted j'*t ; ahead «■>;' and immsdi atelv after, but not upon the significant resolution requesting the governor t approve house bill supplementing the act of 18f;8, for the formation and re? ulatlon of railroad corporations. That bill was the "Rapid Transit" measure for the enactment of which people were clamoring. May 19. underground conduit dodged by Stuort. June 6. a speclel meeting, for which Stuart had signed the call, and which he attend ed, although he dodged votes on a sidewalk vault bill and a bill for con firmation. of police appointments. The "elevated" railroad bill came up then, but on that, a3 well as on many sub sequent occasions of tho same kind in relation/to the rapid transit question, • Stuart was on the "postponing" or hes itating or non-committal side. For Death of Rapid Transit. Later on there were several "el&- vatod" bills, upon all of which btuart was true to his record of an india rubber backbone man. When, on June 24, a motion was made to postpone further consideration of the rapid tran sit question until September, Stuart seemed very glad to vote "aye." It Was such a relief, you know. Throe days later John Wanamaker, interested In the "Consolidated Elevated." seeing the futility of overcoming the obstruc tionists, diplomatically suggested, in a letter, that the bill be postponed for a little while, and that in tho meantimo I. commission be appointed to devise, if It could, a better scheme than the one which Mr. Wanamaker and other emi nent citizens had guaranteed to be of fered In good faith. "We believe," Mr. | Wanamaker wrote, "the city can never have a better opportunity to securo rapid transit under fair and just con ditions." Yet the chief representative of the Pennsylvania railroad in select council, who has since died, moved for indefinite postponement of not only the bill, but also of the Wanamaker proposition for a commission, so as to kill the whole thing, and Stuart voted for that death of rapid transit. The great wonder is that Stuart took a positive stand on that all-important question, in view of the.fact that, from beginning to end of his service in coun cils, his record, with few exceptions, is one prolonged series of "present but not voting" on about two-score differ ent important subjects of which he was evidently very much afraid. He dreaded, for instance, to take a hand In Chestnut street widenings, or upon any important bill affecting the down-town section in which he lives. There are innumerable cases of his being present but not voting upon measures relating to the down-town wards. Bills in which churches of different denomina tions were interested were particularly shunned by him. Confirmation of may oralty or departmental appointments were to him as a plague of cholera. Any vote that he might cast might make somebody mad, you know. As Wax In Hands of Booses. November 17, 1887, absent when un derground conduit and electric light matters, as well as Bell Telephone company interests were before the chamber. The Third regiment armory being near Smart's house, he did not vote, although present, upon the ques tion of putting up a Siemens gas lamp in front of the armory.

March 20, ISBB, present but not voting on the creation of a bureau of city property, a question to be? eschewed by a candidate for the mayoralty in the days when such nominees were not se lected for ability, courage or public spiritednesfe, but for their known will ingness to be as wax in the hands of the plundering power that is now on its last legs. Juno 21, when the appointments of Mayor Fitler, Director Stokley and the new administration generally were up for confirmation, Stuart absent. At the next meeting, when a lot jjiore of such appointments came up, Stuart was present but not voting, although he voted on the next bill. Presently the "Northeastern Elevated" came along, and there was a renewal by Stuart of the peculiar non-committal policy with which he had treated similar former measures. Gratuitous vaccination had a horror for him, or, at least, on No vember 22, he sat silent when the bill passed finally without opposition. While other members had the courage of their convictions on all such meas ures. Stuart maintained the show of timidity which has characterized him ever since. "Peach" of An Investigation. A certain selectman, who has since died, and who would be about the lest man in Philadelphia whom the people would expect to conduct a satisfactory investigation into legislative bribery, moved, on December 6. 1888, for the appointment of a special committee to investigate the charge of bribery in connection with tha elevated railroad proceedings. On the little reform side there WRo a motion to excuse the mover of the resolution from the duty of acting as chairman. That was about as polite a way as it could be said that nobody would have any confidence in the probing under the management of the redoubtable ringstcr in question, who, however, won the chairmanship by a vote of 14 to 9, Stuart being among those voting to insist upon his taking that power, which, of course, the ma chine expert did. The subsequent "in vestigation," in the vernacular of the Eetz building or the Boas mansion, was "a peach." But this instance Is Inconsistent with the general run of the Stuart record in the journals, as it is one of the very few cases or' his actually doing some thing, although, unfortunately, not very much to his credit. December 13, 1888, the ordinance up was something momentous, to permit construction of the Enst Side railroad along the Schuylkill river. Great fight in coun cils that day, but Stuart not there.
