For various reasons business has been very dull for the past three months. Money has been scarce; credits have been contracted ; large firms have suspended operations; banks have failed. So general is the depression, that it has become a matter of news. Newspapers have been filled with bad news of busi ness for weeks. Republican newspapers have re ceived and printed the same news as is furnished their democratic rivals. Not only this, but they have dared togo farther and call attention to the fact that present conditions arc radically different from those which existed last year, and the past few years. They have been bold enough to intimate that, possibly, the change is due to the fact that the government is in the hands of a party reckless in assertion and revolutionary in aim. They have gone farther and taken the trouble to quote a few plain, honest facts to back their assertions. And because they have dared to do all this, the democratic press has arisen as one man and shouted "Traitors ! Panic mongers ! Calamity-howlees 1 Cease your nefarious business, and be patriotic J" If the democratic press had not been doing business at that Baine old stand for many, many years, the REPUBLICAN would have been tempted to exclaim: "The gall I" As it is, we must sigh and learn to look at Jeffersonian demo cracy as one of the many ills flesh is subject to in this world.. But, in all seriousness, the 11E- I'UBLICAN would like to ask demo cratie newspapers a question or two it bout ''panic-mongering." When the Homestead strike was on last hummer, and the New York World declared editorially that the strike ■was an evidence of the misery and ruin wrought by republican misrule, was not the World dabbling a little in a panic-mongering itself ? When last fall, the World and the Phila delphia Times and other papers '6f the kind were preaching the doctrine of suffering, starvation, oppression, degradation, and sought to make the people believe they were being driven to the edge of a precipice nnd the verge of a panic by republi can McKinleyism, were they not dip ping a brush in the horrid pot of panic-mongering ? And again, when democratic papers sought to array class against class and told the workmen at Homestead they were justified ingoing to any ex treme in their fight against the •'robber barons," were not those same papers urging and advocating treason ? Yes, they were, and to day, if Benjamin Harrison were president instead of Mr. Cleveland, those same papers would tumble over each other in the mad race for epithets and head-lines violent enough to hurl at Republican lead ers ! Geese fly far sometimes, but they always come home to roost. Republican newspapers believe Mr. Cleveland represents policies tending to unsettle business ; busi ness men think so, too, and we see the result. That result republican papers have pointed to as a vindi cation of their stand. Believinw as they do, they are laboring to° the end that the political misfits now in power will be returned to the shaded walks of domestic life, for four years hence. And they are fighting fair ly. They are not calling Mr. Cleve land and his advisers anarchists, robbers, receivers of stolen goods, etc. They are calmly pointirg to facts. Democratic newspapers should cease their howling and find out where the hurt is. They have fought to gain responsibility in government for the last 30 years. Now they have won it—why do they not proceed to fulfil the solemn obligations we have heard so much of from the lips of their heavy weight leader, instead of hollering to republicans, ''stop making faces at us ?" Gentlemen, in the flowing speech of your captain, it is a condition and not a theory which confronts you. What are you going to do pbout it ? ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Crowl Ji of Odd Fellowship. The gro nth oi the order of Odd Fellows has been phenomenal. In 1830 there were 1,000 members; in 1840, ll,1G(i; 1850, 139,242; 18«0, 783; 1890, 649,702, and at this time the membership is more than 800,000. There has been expended by them in all these years $30,000,- 000 for relief. Pennsylvania has 1,065 lodges at this time, with 106,- 113 members. I.ehlgli Valley Hay Checks. EiSTON, Sept. 12.—Word was "re ceived at the banks here this after noon that the Lehigh Valley Rail road Company would start out its pay car Thursday from this place. Emploj'es will lie paid in checks drawn on the Merchants National Bank of New York, and the Phila delphia National through the Clear ing House. The banks here will not cash the checks owing to the stringency in the currency, but will receive them on deposit. This year when times are so hard and money so scarce is the time to relieve the parents by introducing the free text book system in the public schools. Many a boy and girl who would have been deprived of a year's schooling because the father was out of work and could not afford to buy school supplies is now given the advantage of this year's term of school. The poor parents of ambitious boys and girls appreciate the introduction of this system, and especially this year. "That black cloud rising over yonder" on Thursday evening last, did lots of damage throughout Bradford county and in the northern part of our county. In Franklin a young man was killed by the name of Edmunds. At New Era several persons were badly injured and buildings blown down. The stage coach between New Albany and New Era was up-turned and badly demolished. D. J. Sweet of Towanda, was hurt about the leg. Iu Sullivan we have learned of no deaths resulting from the gale, but buildings and crops suffered more or less by wind and hail stones. In IjKporte it was so dark that all of the business places and residences were lighted and the streets looked like night. ON THEIR WEUDINU TKIF. The liiter-Ntate Fair Balooii Bring* the Couple to Bradford County. A baloon which was let loose Wednesday at the Elmira Interstate fair grounds was visible for a brief time in the afternoon, north of this place. It crossed the river near Hornbrook, and went to the east of Towanda, "out of sight." This balloon contained three per sons—Mr. and Mrs. Fred B. Green, and the gentleman in chargo of the balloon. The passengers were the happy couple who had on that day been married on the fair grounds, an event which had been for some time heralded in the public press. Their mid air journey was rather an uneventful one, except when farmers commenced shooting at it, not knowing that any one was in it The balloon landed on the farm of Milton Horton in Sheshequin township, and that gentleman took the party to Ulster, where they left for Elinira on train 7.—Towanda Jleview, The Fourth Annual Convention of the W.
