Alfred Tennyson, the great poet, died at his home near London, on Thursday last. An exchange truthfully remarks that a newspaper cann ,- t be run on promises to pay. The greatest triumph of mind is when a man knows enough to mind his own business. This is the time of year when we are called upon to take a wrestle with the stove pipe. Dr. R. J. Mclleury of Pushore, was t"ansacting business at La- Porte, Saturday evening. Weaver, the People's candidate for President, will receive several votes in Sullivan county. John L.

This is said to be cheaper than the Bernice coal and a number of our citizen* have decided to use it. D. T. lincKbll is winning friends every day in his canvass for Member. The people like a man who is free from bosses and one who while at H:.rrisburg can east h.s vote fcr the best interest of the people.

Thats right, the Gazette does good work and was the first to advocate the enterprise. The other feller attempted to throw a wet cloth on the track, injt like a tna jority of his attempts—failed. Miss Mav Watkins of Towanda and who has tnanv friends in this vicinity was married to Rev W. S. H Hermans also of Towanda, on Monday of last week. The RK PUBLICAN and many friends of the contracting parties who reside at La Porte, extend congratulations. The Democratic and Mugwump paper of New York, notably the Tin.es. are very much stirred up because Mr. David Martin, of Phila delphia. is assisting the National Republican Committee in its laud able efforts to stop Tammany's bal lot-box stuffing and colonization si'hemes. For Sheriff, Thos. Simmons seems to be a full team. He is gaining friends steadily, and will lie elected Sheriff bv a handsome majority. Possessing every qualification re quisite to fill this high official posi tion in a manner creditable alike to himself and the people, He will make a good Sheriff. Thos. Anderson of Hills Grove, who was convicted of tresposs at September term of court and sent enced t • 20 days in the county jail and pay a fine of $5.00, served his term on Tuesday and was released on payment of the fine and giving a judgment note for the nm'lint of cost—*62 61. Chas. Lauer of LaPorte has SP cured the services of C. Peale's horse " Barber" to run in the race at Dushore ttiis week. From what is said of Barber's running qualities, we judte he will make it exceeding ly interesting for the most of tli«m R M. Stormont of LaPorte, form erly owned this eight hundred and fifty pound repeater and says lie will put up against any horse in the county. Barber is a jim slicker ami if lie is beaten it will lie because he has never been trained on the track. We are having extra fine weather this week and the members ol the Dushore Driving Park are glad of it and so are we. The people of La- Porte in general are anxious t"» wit ness this Fair Association a success. Thu officers in charge of the enter prise, are well thought of over here. The long necessity at LaPorte has come—a barber 6hop; Elmer Sherman formerly of Overton, is proprietor and he is doing a right good business. His shop is located in the old sehool house, opposite of Hotel Kennedy'. For an easy and a clean shave, give him a call. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Gleim and daughter, Miss Florence and son, master Sailor and Miss Helen Runkle. all of Wllliam<port, were registered at the LaPorte Hotel over Sunday. They returned home Monday afternoon. During Monday morning Mr. Gleim enjoyed a duck hunt or Lake Mokoma. It is evident that a great many ire ignorant of the law which re quires auditors of every township and borough to publish a report of the financial condition of their re spective districts in at least one newspaper in the county. Most of the auditors fail to comply with this law, which fixes a heavy penalty for such failure. From good authority we learn that Thomas Mahatley the Demo cratic bosse® candidate for Sheriff, was so stupid from drink Friday evening that navigation was almost impossible. Should he be voted in to office what would lithe ? Have'nt the people of Sullivan coun ty experienced this sort of thing l<>ng enough ? There were several pugilists aboard the excursion of the W. N. B. Saturday evening. They were coming home from the Hughes ville fair and ''roared" with strength. Ii was a common occurrence for the fighter to ask a friend to hold his coat. This refused the fight would cease. They say, Hugliesville fire water is intoxicating Chas P. Hunsinger of Forks twp, and a thorough Cleveland advocate, announces himself an independent candidate lor the office of Sheriff <>f Sullivan county, cUewhere in the R PUBLIC N. Mr. H has reside i in «»ur midst and tilled Sullivan c iiinty noil f"i' the past tuirly \ ears, lie pays a large t>'X and should re ceive the Mipport of the people. Lewis Siui U of Muncy li.i- re moved his cottage at the 'Mire to front LaPorte avenue and is i«u I I ing on an addition to the sune. lln Smith cottage was the r.sidence "112 Col. J >nes some lifts year- ago and is the only land mark "I hi* past, in that vicinity. Soon Ea.le-M'Te will bear no resemblance of what was known as Lewis' Lake o Iv a short time ago. Ihe several chang s made in the Baker Baliot, by Secy, llarrity, lootis a trifle trickery, lie mean* to avoid giving the genuine specimen ballot until too late to prepare papei for the hundreds of thousand bal lots ihat will be lequired in the state and only Ihmocratic counties will be seived with paper in accord ance with Mr. Ilarrily's arrange ments. He has barganed for ail the paper on hand. James McFamine, president of the LaPorte school board, called a meeting of said body, on .Saturday evening to consider the advisability of a school exhibition to take place about Christmas week. It seems a number of parents an 1 children op posed the entertainment, owing to the fact that the attention of the pupil would be avartcd from their books while preparing their pints. The school board, however, foas given their permission and in fact have given Miss Ettinger, principal of the school, full control of what shall take place in the school room relating to suh<>ol exhibitions nud the like. A Surprised Man. The most surprised man at the late Grand Army eneampment at Washington, wis Postmaster John B. Emerv, of Wil'iam-port. Wli°n! Mr. Emery was at. the iront in 1802 he had a photograph taken of him self and mailed it fo his mother. She never received it and the picture was long since forgotten. During the encampment the postmaster was naturally interested in the dead letter office. There is a collection of several thousand photographs that have f.iled to rea h their own ers and while looking over them Mr. Emery was astonished to find his own among them. By untwin ing the necessary amount of red tape the post muster established his claim to the photograph and it was sent to him a few da> > ago. NO CHANGE IN THE BALLOT. The State Department Will Nhltt the Benponalhi 1 Itjr ta the County CommlHlonen. Harbisbdro, Oct. 9.—Chief Clerk Snyder, of the State Department, has returned from New York, where ho is supposed to have gone to con sult Secretary Harrity about the of ficial form of the ballot under the new fangled election law. He told a correspondent, however, to-night, his business in New York had solely to do with routine department af fairs. Mr. Snyder intimated there would be no further change in the ballot, and also that the Department had nothing to do new but wait until the expiration of tue time for filing objections to nomination papers, which will be October 20, and then to certify the nominations on file in the department to the County Com" missioners ttroughout the State. From what is believed to be ex cellent authority it is learned to night Secretary Harrity will send out no more sample ballots, that no form he has thus Jar suggested has been satisfactory to all parties, and that the County Commissioners will now have to assume the re sponsibility for arranging the form under the requirements of the Baker act. The whole trouble lies in the long column headed "by nomination papers" which contaius the ninety six names of tue candidates tor electors of the Prohibition, Socialist, Labor and People's parties. If this long column is divided into three, as contended by Chairman Patton and others can be done, the size of the blanket ballot would be reduced at least one-half; otherwise the pro portions will be 50x22. The form of the ballot will also vary in dif ferent counties according to the number '»f candidates. TO TEST TIIE LAW. PiTTaBL'RO, Oct- 9.—The constitu tionality of the Baker ballot law is to be tested in court. Ex-Deputy Attorney-General Sanderson, of the law firm of I .yon, MeK.<-e <v Sander son, of this city, is preparing the papers, and if finished the master will be brought !>etore the Supieme Court 11.. win session here, to-mor row.

The Po-t office Department will jdace the new return postal card 011 sale early in October. Postmaster General Wanamaker has approved two designs, one for domestic and the o*har for international service. Tlie work of prlntin* and distribu ting the cards is being mi-died. The half of the double card, (the domestic,) to which a reply is de sired, is three and a balf inches vide by five and a half inches long Oil the t-'p of the oard the words : "postal card with paid reply'' and |'"United States of America" are en graved In smaller tvpe are the words "This side lor the address oid>." In th'* upper rluht hand corner is a vignette of General CJrant This is encircled by a frame with the words 'Message card" at the top and bottom the words "on" cent." The face of the return card is Bimilar to the message card. But instead of words "postal card for reply" there is substituted "reply postal card." The international card is slightly smalb r than th« do mestic. At the top of the card are tlie words "postal card with paid reply," and a French translation and "Universal postal union" and "Uuited States of America" Ameri can black ink is used fur both cards The message and reply card are one piece ot card l»oard folded together ard creased in the middle Unrepeatent Rebel. The following outburst ia from the Dunham, South Carolina Globe. It should be read with interest regard leas of politics by our old aoldier boys. "The pension fraud is a theft, and we repeat that no man can honestly defend it. The south has been taxed to death to pay this Grand Arm} r of rascals—those bottle-scar red bums who reach in the empty palm—and when Cleveland struck the beggars in the face he did a good business job. We hope to God that he may have a chance to hit 'em again. Vagrants and medi cants should be both vigorously slapped and kicked. But between Harrison and Cleveland—first, last and all the time —I am for the brave Butfalo man who slapped the dirty pensioners, who are for the most part beggars, in the face. They were dirty and lousy rascals who came into this country, and who abused women, who burned houses, who stole all that was in sight, and to-day, without an honorable scar, are bleeding this country, and I am helping to pay for it. Let the hired Yankees howl. lam of the South and for the south. Some of the northern papers are howling about the positive fact that Qrover Cleve land hired a cheap man to represent him when the north pillaged and plundered and burned and ravished the south. There could not be a better recommendation. The scamps at the north who went into the war went in for fourteen dollars a month* with an explicit understanding thnt they should steal all that was in sight. Qrover Cleveland knew that the country would need his services in ISB4 and again in 1892, and he did not propose (o have his body filled with lead in order to give the Yankee's a chance to pick his pocket alter he had been killed. He simp ly did a good business job, as he did when he slapped the dirty beggars, called pensioners in the face. Why should he, a statesman and a man of his intellect, take the chance of *ar when he could hire a cheap fellow to represent him ? There is no reason. Tlie Globe regard* that as one of the best things Cleveland ever did. If Cleveland had fought lie would have lieeu lowered in the estimation of the south. He did not p'opose to us.- his skill in Li I ing the i«oys of the southland. The solid south owes a debt of gratitude to Grover < leve and."
