It says : "This is its it should he. Papers that have ho political con victions are not entitled to the patronage of officers elected by either party." . It will soon be time to pjepare for the February election. Both La- Porte boro and township should use the best of judgment in securing sood men to fill the various offices to be ballotted Tor at this time. Supervisors are perhaps more es sential to the public than any one oflice and should receive a little more than the ordinary attention by our people in si'leeting oflicers to fill thiis responsible position.

Ex perience has • demonstrated that where there is the least knowledge of American institutions and the Ameiican language there is the greatest certainty of Democratic votes. We have the county audit nearly in type, hope to have it completed by Saturday night. The people can! have a look at tliS same the first week in February; The Reiubli- j CAN and Gazette will present it to ! their readers on Feb. 6th, all | who are not subscribers to e'ther of' these papers will do well to Send in their names and get the legal ad- 1 vertieing of the county. Newell of the Dushore Review in speaking last week of The In quirer, a small paper recently es tablished at Canton, says: "Tall | oaks from little OCEANS grow."l He continues: ''and perhaps some I day the Inquirer will some day de-l serve some day other title than amateur." Great scot t this is tough ! tough 1! j tough!!! and the former is equally! as wonderful. The Supreme Court ot the State i has decined that the Pennsylvania j game laws were only meant to pro hibit the killing of game within the State during the closed season and ! do not apply to game brought into this State from another, thereby nullifying the fctfect of the provision in the law which makes the having of game in possession during a closed Reason prima facie evidence of a violation of the law. "Toppy" is the latest society word for anything stylish. This word is used considerable among horse jockeys. In speaking of their horse they say he is <iuite toppy, meaning that he is altogether a good looking horse. Jockey and society agree 011 the meaning of the word and the latter undoubtedly gives it its right meaning while it would be moio ap propriate for the jockey to term it •'tumbleover." The following is a very truthful j remark: The mail who grows up in iiis own town is apt to be regarded j as a boy by his elders until he isi well started down the declivity. | The stranger who comes into a place 1 is more often pushed to the front, than the young man who has grown up with the town. This is often l times the reason young men become! dissatisfied with their homo sur- j ronndings find long to cast their lot in other quarter"*. Tlie present cxcel'ent sleighing affords the business men of our county who deal in bark and logs ample opportunities of stocking their tanneries and mill yards to their fullest capacity. James McFarlane k Co. are taking advantage of the same in the extreme and have al ready delivered at the Lal'otte Tannery nearly four thousand cords of bark during the past six weeks*. They have a large number of teams in their emoloy besides their own, numbering twenty-five or thirty. Jacob Lorali ex-county treasurer has nppt aled from the county audit and will have the statement examin ed by the court at this Feb. term. This is the first time in the history of Sullivan where the figures of the county auditors has been appealed and undoubtedly the rulings of the court upon this document will prove beneficial to our county officials in the future. It perhaps may turn out for the bfest, so far as examina tion is concerned. This will not interfere with the publication of the figures of the statement as presented by our coun tv auditors, the first week in Febru ary. i; Chas. Sergeant of Thornerlale who ■! recently purchased a team of mules and an entire out-fit fordoing heavy I hauling of James Wateh of this place is having pretty hard luck ( j During the latter part of December one of the mules unfortunately i calked Itself and has since that time I ; been unable to work and at this 4 writing Mr. Sergeant has about 1 12; made up his mind to put an end to j the animal. The leg is swollen I very large and the hoof is most apt Jto come oil which will render the ■ mule worthless for many months. II Mr. S. feels very badly over his ill. I fated luck. I Judge Mayer, of Clinton county, has refused to giant a liquor license to a woman. lie eays that women ! have no busines behind a bar deal ing out liquor to men, and that running saloons is tiot their mission. There is a great deal of truth in that statement, and Judge Mayer's [action will be generally commended. | A woman who goes into the saloon ■ business is minus all the traits that y;o to make up womanly character, 1 and a saloon run by a woman would! jbe likely to do more harm than half a dozen establishments with men! behind the bar. The Judge, in re jecting the application, said that he did not relish the idea of having a woman brought into court, for violat ing the liquor laws, because he would be obliged to deal with her with the same severity that he would [deal with a man. Women should not be encouraged to seek an open-1 ing in such a business, and this J ruling Will go a great toward' j prevailing it. A Wonderful Telephone Foat. i Sunday morning Jan. 11th the | Rev. T. K. Beecher, pastor of the Elmira, N, Y., Park church, deliver led a sermon prepared with especial reference to the religious life and character of the late Mte. Olivia' Langdon. The daughter of Mrs. Langdon, Mrs. Samuel L. Clemens Jot Hartford, Conn., was unable to jbe present and therefore arrange- J ments were mad£ for her and the I members Ot her family to hear the sermon by telephone. The long j distance apparatus was placed in ! Mr. Clemen's home in Hartford and j Manager Eastabrook placed it also on the pulpit of the Park church, where it was concealed by flowers. I'he line went by way of Syracuse, ] Albany and Springfield to Hart ford, a distance of 450 mile#.
