that ths Crown Prinze "Our Frits"
of iluaaia haii, through an agent, offer-
ed esveatyfive thousand dollars for!
the ue of sai.e large hotel at llrjn j

Jnrtnff tli lion iitlllial. It mill dQ tO .
tell, as there is io barm to either
Prince or Bryn Mawr in it. It my
ouly be an advertisement for the rich
familirs that live there. It is a eheap
one, if it is, for it has been and is still
being published throughout the coun
try, that the Oown Prince of Russia
could not for $75,000 lease the great
hotel at Uryn Mawr. The wide thing
narors somewhat of story, for tbe rea
son that Uryn Mawreiicle love money;
indeed tbe place is a moneyed circle,
and $75,000, and no trouble to get it,
ia no enall sum for even Uryn Mawr.
It ia quite a question whether it is not
as much as the bouac itself is worth in
these times. It savor of story fur the
reason that as Uryn Mawr isexclusive-
I mnnii(t circle, on account alone
J J I
of its money, and not on account ol its
blood or manuers, it would be glad to
have blooded people there, particularly j
if thev represent living reigning or
noble families from the old world. Tbe
averaged American can make money,
but inonev will not bur blood. It is
prubable that Bryn Mawr would rub its ;
j w
hands in joyous glee, if it cculd get : common honesty in public affairs, and
the Crown Prince to sojourn there next 1 set the seal of your condemnation npon

tbe use of the hotel for him and his pug numerous host, discordant in prio
suit. Bryn Mawr is not sensational, ciples, united only in the pursuit of

from fcboutiug a Lurrah for " Ucscr

Potter coi xty is the grtat tem
perance county in this State. There
are no liquor houses within its limits.
The Politico Temperanoe party had two
votes east for them in that county, at
tbe recent election. Tbe temperance
people .f Potter county know that it
was not political agitation that brought
about their temperance habits. The
pretense of tbe Temperance movement
fell without iuflueuce at their feet. It
requires a certain moral status to ab
stain fiom drink. They reached their
temperate status without the aid of pol
itics, and that is tbe way tbe whole
country must be worked up to a tem
perate stand-point. Once people un
derstand that it is not to their interest
to drink, they will not be intemperate.
'
These is a movement on foot for the
crganization of a lobby to petition Con
gress this winter to enact, that the
tiovernnient endorse to the amount of
$70,000,000 for tbe completion of the
Southern Pacific Railroad. Pennsyl
vania iron and coal trade would be con
siderably stimulated by this guarantee
to the said railroad, and as a natural
consequence to follow, all other Indus
trie would be animated to a greater or
less degree. But with all that, what
do the people of Pennsylvania say to
tbe guarantee !
m
Independent journalism, as ex
emplified in tbe New York Sun, and its
feeble imitators elsewhere, is the mean
est sort of journalism. The fact that
President Grant, nearly two years ago,
borrowed some money on mortgages on
his Long Branch property, Las just
been discovered by some one of the
many Paul Pryf attached to the Sun,
and tbe readers of that paper are treat
ed to over a column giving the mort
gage verbatim, which is in no wise dif
ferent from any other mortgage, except
that tbe names of U. S. Grant and
wife appear in it. Tbere is no decency
in such j jornalistn."
If preseut indications are criterion
to judge by as to what is to come, or
iu other words, if
Coming events cast their shadow before,"
the country is on the eve of a general
religious movement for revival. Tbe
churches of nearly all the cities and
large towns are prepir.ng to take up
the woik. Even Chicago is arousing
herself. Now, great revivals are in
progress in Presbyterian, Methodist
ao J Baptist churches there, and bow it
will progress when Moody and Sankey
get tb?re in February no one knows.
Tub Bible has been excluded from
tbe Common Schools of Chicago. Tbe
"singing book" are now undergoing a
revision, so as to remove all bymns or
ongs that shock Catholic seojibility or
re'igion. What next ? Will it be a
demand for tbe renunciation of the
Protectant faith !
Moody and banker are navior a

Republican of Penntytvanw:
It wn a grand response you Bade ia
November te the greetings of Mr
brelbren in Ohio, Nebraska and Iowa,
seat in October. It give yon occasion
fur sincere self congratulation ; it jus
tifies jour shouts of triumph echoing,
cbeerioclT, from the Delaware to Lake
Erie.
Splendid as have been yonr record
"d achievement in the past, yon may
well point with pride to yonr netory on
- r
Tuesdav last a pride renewed, empha
sized aud re eu forced by the verdict of
a great people. 1 ou have easily placed
) ourselves at tbe bead of tbe Republi
can column of eighteen hundred and
seventj-sii. In all respects, this vie
lory is significant and complete. Your
principles were righteous. The verdict
coucludes that discussion. General
Ilartranft, illustrious with his military
service, had won added fame by a pnre
and signally successful civic career.
Your gratitude, your patriotism, and
tour solicitude for tbe welfare of the
State compelled bis continuance in tbe
position of highest responsibility.
With a knowledge, begotten of proof,
of the integrity of tbe State Treasury
management, and with the actual dem
onstration that tbere was not now and
never, under Republican officers, bad
been a defalcation to the amount of one
dollar of thepublie moneys, yon had
! the manhood and the courage to vindi
l. a M.nliAsijt njt fit rnnriM
cate, boldly, your Treasury officers
from tbe unfounded, false, and indecent
charce of tbe political tramps who pur
(sued them with malignant falsehood.
With tbe calmness aud patience of a
patriotie and intelligent people, you
di.'cuafed the existing financial ques-
tion, stripped of disguises, and deter-
nijDed to sustain the national faitb and
power and plunder. They clamored
for a chancre, but only offered delusive
promises aud fraudulent pretenses of
reform ; they exaggerated the publie
distress (neither the existence nor rem
edy for which is to be found in govern
mental, but in social causes); tuey
stimulated uneasiness in tbe public
mind ; they filled the land with inflam
matory addresses and inflated procla
mations; they vexed your ears with
creaming oratory and with turgid
blatant declamation ; they charged that
w there was something wrong, but
proved nothing. Madness and senility
seemed to rule tbe hour. In all this
chaos you stood firm, nor were you
tripped in your judgment, nor swayea
from vour integrity. From the brawl
ers aud the demagogues yon extorted
your triumph, and have exalted the
strength of tbe people in a nepuoiiean
government.
Tbe wave 01 political sopmsiry ana
financial heresy, bearing menace and
danger to national honor, and to your
most sacred educational and religious
institutions, were stayed and broken by
tbe firm walls of your own Alleghenies ;
democratic wrecks and stranded drift
wood, now and then, alone, marking tbe
subsidence of this tide of folly anJ
claptrap.
Rejoicing as you do, remember that
your victory is the fruit of organiza
tion, laborious and minute, and that
without organization, your power is gone
and your energies are useless. Stand
by your guns, maintain your ranks,
take tbe touch of elbows, and hold
yourselves in readiness for tbe final
charge along tbe entire line, wn;cu snau
result in tbe crowning triumph of your
Centennial year, and which shall start
you in tbe second century of national
existence, nnder tbe auspicious rule of
tbe great historical Republican party.

While every circumstance in the
suit against Tweed indicates Li escape,
thirty-one thieves pursued by tbe United
States government ia the single city of
St. Louis have pleaded guilty and are
forced to disgorge. These two facta
mark the exact difference in securing
justice and honest reform between the
Democratic government of New York
city and State, and the Republican gov
ernment of the Uuited States. And
thia singular fact is also developed :
While the Democratic press seek to de
ceive the country with the pretense of
reform and honesty in New York, tbey
universally seek to show that Grant,
who pursues the St. Louis thieves, is
one of tbe gang of plunderers be is fol
lowing to their ruin. Rather sttaoge,

rain, tbe lightning and terrifio storm,
the whole country was thoroughly pa

found. Her clothing was drippiuj with
