No wonder the State is solidly Republican. —LAPORTE RE PUBLICAN. Mistaken as usual. The increase in appropriation is due to the fact that under the administration of our Democratic Governor the Republi can officials have not been able to steal quite as much as formerly— Dushore Gazette. Streby has uttered a grunt here that we are unable to make head or tail to. The meaning of our little squib, we thought plain, but it would appear that our learned con temporary has mistook its signi ficance. That he may properly comprehend, we would state that it is a well known fact, that the better the school advantages the higher the Republican majority will run. We think, however, that there is no hope for recording Streby's vote with the enlightened. It is our desire to enlarge the REPUBEICAN to a seven column folio, in the near future. We also expect to put the price down to the small sum of SI.OO per year if paid in ad vance. If not paid in advance the price per year will remain as it now is—sl.2s. The REPUBLICAN is by far the newsiest in the county and at the small sum of SI.OO per year, we can hope to djuble our circulation in a very short time. The other two county papers, while in the minoritj", so fur as news is concerned, are $1.50 a year. Tell 3'our neighbors that the REPUBLICAN is about to be en- otherwise improved.

DAVID'S DAT DINNER. Special Deputy Collector of the Fort Ellery P. Ingliam Ke- NpoudN to the President. The Welsh Socity of Philadelphia celebrated the anniversary of St. David's Day last evening by a ban quet in the Bellevue. After the banquet a Welsh song was sung by Prof. Gordon Thomas, and the speechmnking began. The Rev. D. Evans responded to"The Day We Celebrate," and Special Deputy Collector of the Port Ellery P. Ingham was called Upon to re ply to the toast, "The President of the United States." Mr Ingham drew a contrast be tween days of the first President and the present times, and alluded to the fact that poverty in this coun try is no bar to the Presidency, and that the poorest boy stands a better chance of success than the richest. He commented upon the names of several great Presidents, including Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Gar field and Cleveland, and paid a tribute to several popular leaders who have not been elected Presi dents. In closing Mr. Ingham said : 'T think we are fortunate in hav ing so clean and pure and able a man as Benjamin Harrison in the Presidential chair. His administra tion has been wholesome. It has been honest, it has been fearless, it has been just and it has been Ameri can. President Harrison is a fair type of the kind of men the Ameri can people delight to honor. A poor boy, a struggling lawyer, a brave soldier, a successful politician, he has proved himself to be a con servative President a safe states man. "During his administration the status of Americans as Americans has been advanced. The Monroe doctrine has added to it another de claration of the of the Americbn people—that no nation, however large or however small,shall insult with impunity the American flag, or wrong, without reparation, an American citizen. I believe that is a good doctrine. We all know that for ages the flag of Great Britain has been respected tlirougout the world. Tne Esquimaux of Green land are not too far north, the sav ages ot Patagonia are not 100 far south not to know that when the Red Cross rf St. George is flying over a British ship or upon any soil that flag must be respected. Why? Because no matter what may be the status of the people who insult it, big or little, rich or poor, powerful or weak, they know that insult is followed by reparation, demanded at the cannon's mouth. "The Stars and Stripes are just as good a flag as the Red Cross of St. George. It is a better flag to my mind, and represents a greater peo ple. It should be respected as much as any flag that floats in the wind, whether north or south or east or west—among the great armed powers of Europe or before the startled eyes of the Hottentots of Africa—it should be known aa the emblem of a great and free nation, which neither gives nor takes in sults, and which protects everyone of its citizens, no matter how hum ble he may be or to what far-away clime he may have strayed."— Ex. Drowned in Money Creek. The body of John Stuart, an itin erant sketch artist, was found lying in the waters of Muncy Creek, near Tivoli, Friday. An inquest was held and according to the litile evidence at hand a verdict of ac cidental drowning was rendered. On the mr,n ! s person was fun:! a life insurance policy of $5,000 made out in favor ot his daughter. Friends of the deceased have been communi i ■ cated with regarding the disposi tion of the remains. It is interesting to note how in dustriously the legislature is work ing to make republican success easy in this state next fall.
