IIEADQUAUTEHS OF THE ) lluruni.lCAN STANOTSO COMMITTEE !- FOK TUB COUNTY OF SULLIVAN. ) DUSHOKF., PA., July 24, 1893. The members of the llep. Standing Committee will meet at the office of E. M. Dunham in Laporte, on Saturday, August 5, 1893, at 1 j o'clock, P. M. The purpose of this meeting is to fix the time of holding a convention and to transact other important business. A full attendance is de sired. Following is a list of the Stand ing Committee : Cherry—W. D. Balir. Colley—Wm. Allen, lieruice—D. Sclioonover. Davidson—D. \V. Darling. Dushore—P. P. Vincent.

The "tightness of money" or the general depression in business throughout the country is gradually working itself around until the average citizen and those who de pend on their daily toil are begin ning to feel the pinch. When this stage is reached those who suffer most from a panic will be required to face a situation far from encourag ing to them. When the trouble first began, when that "lack of confi dence" as to the future became manifest, only a few bad the actual experience of feeling the mometary lines tightening. But now we hear of factories closing for an indefinite period, of the hours of work being cut down and of the force in many establishments being reduced. Manufacturers, finding orders cur tailed, are forced to meet the issue and men must be laid off. Capital ists and bankers are hoarding theii xnonej', and the dollars in circula tion are decreasing. This unfortun ate state of affairs is to be regretted, hut everybody is hoping that it will not be of long duration. The man ■whose confidence is shaken is being t>egged to"have confidence" and the average citizen is wondering as to the cause. One significant fact in the face of the whole matter, how ever, is that the party in power is not laying the blame at the Republi can door ; even the McKinley tarill is not accused. Therefore the mis take of a change that so many peo ple demanded will make itself all the more manifest. On the morning of the 29th of last June two men giving their names as Henry Heeman and Harvey Jones, called at the livery stable of Mr, Brown, in Jersey Shore, with a fine horse, which they desired to trade to the liveryman. A fair exchange of horses between the parties took place when the men left. Yester day Patrick F. Bennen and a man claiming to be a detective by the name of G. C. Uolleu, both of To wanda, arrived at Brown's stables and asked to see his horses. When 1 heir eye 3 lighted on the one which Brown had received from Messrs. Heeman and Jones, Mr. Bennen at once claimed the horse as his proper ly. Brown after some parley de livered the horse to the Towanda men when they left. It is now as serted that the whole thing is a put up job, as the detective is related to one of the thieves and as a reward was offered for the capture of the horse the thief put his relative onto the liveryman so as to secure the reward and keep it in the family. Of course this latter assertion is l>ased entirely upon supposition. Mr. Brown has since located his horse in Philipsburg, but as yet he does not know whether he has a legal claim on the horse or not. The authorities in this country will likely try and capture Heeman and Jones, as it is reported that they ntayed at Salladasburg last Tuesday night and at English Centre last Wednesday night.—Williamsport Republican. The text of the act authorizing the election of Tax Collectors for lhree years provides that "the quali fied voters of every borough or township in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, shall on the third Tuesday of February, after the pas sage of this act (the act was passed in May) and triennially thereafter, vote for and elect one properly qualified person for lax collector in each of said districts, who shall serve for the term of three years, and shall give a bond annually to bo approved by the court." It will be seen, therefore, that all collectois elected in February, 1894, will be ©lotted for a term of three years. Laporte was visited bv a railroad excursion on Sunday, the first in her history. T'iierc were seventeen people aboard of the train and (hey came over in a I'alace car. The ex cursion consisted of llio young peo ple of Satlerfti-'ld ami vicinity. They enjoyed the outing very much. A number of the boys spent an hour or two at the 'Mere. The party consisted of the following people, who registered at Hotel Kennedy, viz: James P. Foley, Miss Katie Foley, Frank Malone, Lloyd Fairtnan, Robert Vosburg, | F. O. Fulmer, W. H. Brudge, Jawes Hodge, 11. 15. Miner, B. L. Bruce, John McGee, James Quinn, Miss , Annie Quinn, William Quinn, Hare;, Phillips, P. H. Walls and M.iss Sarah McGee. Muudaj at liic Fair. WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS, CHIPA oo, July 30.—The exposition was open to-day under the order of the court, but the attendance was ex~ tremely light. Tlic grounds were almost deserted, and the visitors in the buildings might easily have been counted. During the morning hours about the only persons enter ing the gates were exhibitors, their helpers and others employed in the grounds, but between noon and 3 o'clock the cars landed a few visitors at the gates. There was no attraction in the evening to draw a crowd. There was no music or entertainment ol any character in the main grounds and the people betook themselves to the Plaisance, where the attract ions, with two exceptions, were run ning as usual. The weather was delightful. STEELTON, July 29, 1893. Notwithstanding the great depres sion in business, throughout the country, the Pennsylvania Steel Company keep their mills running, but how long they will continue no one can tell under the present con dition of affairs in this country. The good times promised by the democi. ts last fall are proving dis astrous to business and individuals in all sections of the country. There seems to be no confidence in the democratic administration. This has beeu properly termed the "Democratic Panic of 1893," and a sorrowful one it will be for every -1 body. Those banners displayed ' last fall containing this inscription : '•Cheaper Clothing, Cheaper Goods" etc., all amount to nothing as long as nothing can be earned to buy the goods and clothing. But it is Demo ' cratic Reform and rebel brigadiers. Hoke Smith's order in regard to I i pensions, seems like hanging aj murderer then trying liim for the crime. But what can we expect of ' a man who was compelled by force of arms, to become a citizen of the j United States. Why, he has set himself up as a dictator and over rules all law in reference to pen sions. The law points out the re quirements of an applicant for a pension and if he falsifies his ap plication or proofs, he is liable to punishment. But Hoky is law, court, council and jury, and would be a witness to swear an old crippled union soldier out of his pension il lie could. Now I propose the democrats make a banquet of the tin roosters displayed in their parades last fall, and then go into retirement for all time to come. The citizens' electric' railway company run their cars into town on last Thursday evening—the road being completed this far.
