W. M. CHENEY - . - Editor FRIDAY, AUGUST, !)th, 18S9. ENTKKEI) AT POST-OFFIOE. LATOKTE PA., AS SEGOX O-CLASS MATT Ell. J. V. KFTTENBURY, WATCHMAKER AND JEWELEE, DUSHORE, PA. We OTiiNt Heel IIIKUIIN. The Republican victory of ISSB has p'aced great and urgent respon sibilities on the party. With the Executive, the Senate and the House Republican, the party must take the entire responsibility for what i9 done and what is not done during the coining sessions of Con gress. Whatever blunders or sins it has committed in the past, says the Chester livening News, they have chieQv been those of omission rather than of commission, or to put it another way, a lack of that stal wartism that characterized tne party during the early drtys of its existence. Parties like individuals, must have character, and they must be brave in maintaining what they believe. The success of the Republican party has been mainly due to the fact thrtt it has been outspoken in its creed, and aggressive in its character. But it has had its periods of doubts, and it lias sometimes falter ed when it should have been resol ute. Whenever it did so, it lost prestage and power, and strength ened the opposing forces. The Democracy came into power not on its own strength but because the Republican party became too con serative, too cowardly, too willing to compremise, where compromise was construed as a surrender. Had | Republicanism been as stalwart since ■ 1876 as it was before that time, James G. Blaine would have been •elected President in 1884. We lost the victory bocause he wanted our stalwartism, a id inst id of being ag gressive plr.ced ourselves on the de fensive. We may as well confess that the two last administrations of the Republicans were not of that wart kind, but that they were tinct ured with mngwuaipism. Had we thrown those dangerous parties overboard we Would not have gone into the contest of 1884 with treason in our ranks and sentimentality im pairing the vigor of true party loy alty. The Democracy won through the dissensions and divisions caused by such a policy, but the Republicans saw their mistake and renewing their fealty to their creed and keep ing in sight the old land marksi they regained the powers they had lost, and are now entrenched in both the Executive and legislative branch es of the government. Whether we will remain there, or bo driven out at the end of four years will depend on whether we hate a strong, stal wart administration. If we have we will remain; if not, we may have to walk the gang plank. The re sponsibility rests wholly with us, and we should be brave in accepting it. There are live issues to be met, and our party must meet them with wisdom and courage. What we need is an out and out Republican administration —an administration that will surprise no principle nor policy, but will stand on its plat- Form first, last, and all the time. The duty of the President and Con gress may be summed up in a sent ence; to place Republicans in office, and to carry out in legisiatlon a thorough Republican Policy. We believe the President will do his part, and it only remains for the Senate and House to perform theirs. Every principle incorporated in the national platform should be putin practice. Faith without words is as dead as a door nail. We want no more of such still born theories. Some of the important issues to be met, are the tariff question, the inrernational revenue taxes, the protection of the colored people and Republicans of the South in their orivate and political rights, and others of a minor nature. On the tariff issue our party is pledged, and it must act promptly and fearlessly according to promise. It should lighten or entirely remove the burd en of revenue taxation, and if it wishes to remain in power it must Bee that all citizens have practically, equal political rights. There must be no equivocating, no hedging, no deserting. The people expect this, nay they demand it, and we must obey. The people decided that they did not wish a continuance of a Demo cratic administration, and hence they placed the Republicans in pow er. They ask for a return of the old time stalwartism and noting skort of that will satisfy them. A Bible in the Flood. The Pittsburg Dispatch relates, the following remarkable incideut: Three yoong men strolling along the river bank in Mi 11 vale borough, the other I eveninjg, saw lying in the sand a Bible, all tattered and, torn. One gave the book a kick, the second man did the same thing, but the third reproved his compan ions for such a lack of respect to ward the Bible, at the same timei picking it lip, meaning to preserve it as a relic. After lie had examined it he found it was a family Bible witli a complete history of a Mrs. Catharine Davis of Johnstown, Pa. That evening while he was speak ing about the finding of the Bible to a triend. the question was asked what name the Bible contained, and to the inquirer's utter amazement he found the Bible to belong to his wife's mother, who was drowned in the flood. This gentleman was Mr. John Wood, of Lewrenceville. His wife is the daughter of the late Mrs. Davis, of .lohustown, and the Bible had floated down from the wrecked city. OR the same evening Mrs. Wood identified the book and it was received by her as a legacy from her dead mother, coming to her in a most providential way. Eagles mere Church. In a decent issue we noticed at some length the general plan of the proposed chapel of St. John's in the wilderness at EagiesMere, and noted the change of site to the more elegible and larger lot at the eorn ner of 3 ones Street and the Muncy Valley road. Matters hsve now taken a definite shape and the Work will be pushed to completion. On Saturday last the Rev. Samuel P. Kelly the indefatigable Diocesan Missionary visited the Lake, spent the whole day in calling upon the people, and in the evening gathered the Building Committee together at the residence of Air. Hairy C. Clay, where it was ascertained that there was on hand in bank subject to the Cheque of the Treasurer $1886,41. in addition to this there is $lO6 or "in the hands of a gentleman in ■Bethlehem $750,00 were subscribed ■during the day, making a present total of $2730,41. The general plan presented by Architect Jones of New York, (a water Color sketch of which is hanging in the Hotel EagiesMere,) was adopted, substitu ting a wood lor a stone tower. A comniitte was appointed to secure plans and specifications and obtain bids and "push matters, so that work may be begun during the present month. Mr. Jones is the Architect who 'designed "Wyno" the elegant sum mer residence ofC. Laßue Munson, just completed. The building com mittee consists of Messrs C. La Rue Munson of Williamsport, Mrs. Harry C. Clay of Philadelphia, George Smith, of Eagles Mere, and Lewis S. Smith, of Muncy. Hanker Jumicon's Syndicate. The Phila. Record of last Satur day says that a $4,000,000 syndi cate to develop coal, iron and lumber land in Eastern Pennsylvania is one of the results of Banker B. J. Jami son's recent trip to Europe. The company, which is largely backed by English capital, is to develop 100 square miles of land in Sullivan county. Morton McMichael, of the First National Band, is interested in the scherfle. The corporation is known as the Central Pennsylvania Land and Railroad Company, and is capitalized at over $2,000,000 and bonds will be issued amounting to over $1,000,000. A number of saw-mills are to be er ected, and the coal and iron which it is believed exists will be worked immediately. The Bloomsburg and Sullivan Railroad has already been acquired, and will be extended northward to the Hernicecoal fields. The Reading Railroad has recently built a link from Rupert to Blooms burg, giving it a connection with the new developments. A large business will be thrown over the Rending Railroad. Now then, should this move prove successful it would necessitate the running of a great many cars, and as stated above, would throw a large business to the Reading R. R. In consequence thereof car shops would be needed at some point in this Bection and as Blooms burg is the most convenient and centrally located town of any im portance along the division, it is quite probable that with a little work on the part of our citizens and board of trade such shops might be located here.—is-'e. The woman in Jersej' City who was convicted of being a common scold was condemned to pay a fine of *25 with costs. Wil' our friends, the Mugwumps, kindly take warn ing? A Decision of Interest. At the last session of the legisla ture a bill w s ;is passed appropriating $50,000 to defray the expenses of the soldiers to and from Gettysburg on the occasion of the dedication of the monument September 11 and 12. A doubt existed as to who would come under the provisions of this'act and attorney-general Kilpat rick was called upon to decide the matter, rie has decided that to be entitled to transportation the sol dier's name must have been on the roll, not only- prior to but at the time of battle. The requirements are that he must have been honor ably discharged; that he must have been a resident of Pennsylvania at the date of the passage of this act aud -{hat his organization must have been participated in the battle. Owoil !»w» lor (>raud Army >Tci>. It is now positively known that the reunion of eld soklieia to be held in Milwaukee, on the occasion of the Twenty-third G. A. R. En campment, during the last week in Aiigust, will be a magnificent suc cess. Notwithstanding the ill advised circulars issued by a few depart ment commanders, requtsting com rades to refrain from going to Milwaukee onfticcount of their fail ure to huldoze the ralroad compan ies into making excursion rates be low the actual cost of transporta tion, the rank and fde of the Grand Army are going to the reunion in overwhelming numbers. The ad vise of Commandefr-in Chief Warner to"go, if possible," seems to meet the inclination of a large majority of the veterans who fought to save the Union, and who now, that the war 'is over, refuse to be '"ordered" by individuals possessed of a little brief authority. The City of Milwaukee has renew ed its invitation to all to come; its Common Council has appropiated §40,000 to pay for tents and bar racks; SIO,OOO will be spent in ar ranging (or a Naval Battle to be fought on Lake Michigan in full view of a quarter of a million of spectator*, and other thousands of dollars will be contributed by public spirited citizens for the entertain ment of the city's guests. The rfilroud tompanios termina ting at Milwaukee have heartily co operated with the Citizens' Com mittee and have demonstrated that their tendencies are liberal in many ways. Private residence will be thrown open, hotels will be reasonable in charges for board, schools, churches and halls will furnish abundant facili ties for lodging those who have not made previous preparation for places to lay their heads. There will be pleanty to eat and drink, ond the only thing to remem ber is : "Leave your trunk at home and bring only such baggage as can be carried in a satchel in your hand." Don't forget this particular injunc tion. Milwaukee extends a hearty greet ing to the boys in blue and their families and their friends, and ex pects to see in the grand parade a larger concourse of veterans keeping step to the music of the Union than has been gathered together since the close of the war of the rebel lion.
