Pennsylvania's appropriation this
year for school purposes is $5,000,-
000, the largest of any State in the
Uniou. 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.
LOST :—A valuabie St. Bernard

institution have had full confidence

but they have reason to congratulate
themselves over the prospect of an
early settlement.
NT. 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. Goon,
Gentlemen, and complete your own
hanging now that you have plenty
of rope.—JV. 1. Exchange.
