THE REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHENEY, - - - - Editor. FRIDAY, FEBHUAIIY 2, 1894. Entered at the Post Office LaPorte, Pa. as second class mail matter. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. FOR CONGRESBMAN-AT-LAK(IK: HON. GALUSHAA. GROW, of Susquehanna county. "Ever day or two the public hears of • petition, 'several thousand strong," against a reform of farifl signed by the dependent worklngmen of the chief ben eficiaries of JlcKinleyism. Since when have petitions been permitted to reverse elections ? The voters of the country have commanded a reduction of the tariff in two general elections, each time by more than 1,300,000 majority. No per functory and interested petitions can cancel those commands.—World." We take the above clipping from the Dushore Gazette. Stroby takes it from the N. Y. World. Notwith atanding the fact that the saying has had the approval of these two great papers, it is a very slim "crawl out" for our neighbor Democrats. They do not deny the fiist paragraph, however, which is quite honorable of them, that, "petitions are being sent to Congress signed by several thousand workingmen who oppose reform tariff." This credit belongs to the World , however, for, had the World contradicted it, and said the petitions never were sent, the Du shore Gazette would have also accept ed it as the truth. The next paragraph, viz: 'Since when have petitions been permitted to reverse elections ?' This is whole lome gall. When were the Republi cans given a majority in the House at the capital of New York ? Last November. Was not this a rebuke of free trade ? Further, there were nine states that voted lust Novem ber and judging from the manifest sentiment of the people, expressed at the polls, the taiifT was an issue in every one of them. In 1892 New York and New Jersey went Demo cratic. They were among the num ber of states that wanted a change, but in 1893 both of these states, humiliated and in tears delivered themselves to the Republicans, glad to escape the infamy brought upon them by their mistaken judgment. Of course, were Streby possessed of a critic brain, he would deny this and claim that the issue in these states ware purely local. That the public will observe, we will confess to a certain extent, it was a local fight in both of these states. May. nardjsm in N. Y. and nice track gamblers in the other, stirred the people, but those issues m;re insig nificant compared with the great issue and the real issue. New York gave a Republican majority of about 25,000, while Maynard was defeated by over 80,000. The difference be tween 25,000 and 80,000 expressed unmistakably the extent of the local feeling against the nomination of Judge Maynard. Underthecircum- Btances it is reasonable to claim— leaving Maynard out entirely—that New York's Republican majoritj-, resulting from the state of the times brough on by the Democratic policy of destruction, was not less than 20,000. In New Jersey the popular feeling had much to do with giving the state to the Republicans, while in Ohio, Massachusetts, Virginia and all the other states that voted, the largely increased Republican rote furnished indisputable evidence of a free trade rebuke. With this open confession of the people at the polls strengthened by petitions being addressed to Congress by the work ing class, ought to at least be notic ed by the muldoons in Congress, as well as by the Democratic editors of the "rural districts." A SEVERE REBUKE TO FREE TRADE. Crest Republican Victory In New Verb. Another Petition to roD|re«t. N*W YORK, Jan. 30.—The special election for members of Congress in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Dis tricts of this city, to choose succes sors of Messrs. Fellows and Fitch, resigned, was held to-day. Lemuel E. Quigg, Republican was io the Fourteenth District over Wijliam Jj,.J6rasUU_lieinocrat [Quigg received 13,566 votes, Brown 12,f>82. In the Fifteenth District Isidor Strauss, Democrat, was elected over Frederick Sigrist, Republican. Strauss received 15,390, Sigrist 10,- 203. At the last Congressional election the FourteentL District gave a Dem ocratic majority of 8,000, and it now gives a Republican majority of al most 1,000. The Fifteenth District at the last election gave a Democratic majority of 11,000, which to-day was reduced to a little over 5,000. Both districts have always been Democratic strongholds, controled by the powers of the Tammany m»- chine, and the election of a Republi can in one and the cutting down of the Democratic majority in the other is insignificant. The editor of the Towanda Review who has been on an exploring tour over the W, &. N. B. K. It.says: "The new piece of track is admir ably constructed, with well selected ties and heavy steel rails, seventy pounds to the yard. The entire eighteen miles is ballasted with rock carefully ditched, small culverts of iron pipe, and large ones of stone. The construction was in charge of Henry Bentley of this place, formerly road master of the Barclay and after ward an assistant on the Lehigh. This piece of new track would be a credit to any railroad system, and the North Branch officials can ex hibit it to any one with pride, and entire confidence that no flaws can be found in it." Killed by the C»ra. Early last Saturday morning the track walker on the State Line k Sullivan branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad found the mangled body of a man on the track about two miles above Dushore. The remains were identified as those of William Mc- Quire, who livce at llienzi, in Terry township, this county. It is suppos ed that he was struck by one of the night trains, several specials being run during Friday night. The body was taken to Dushore where it was prepared for burial, and afterwards taken to his home for interment.— Towanda Republican In the year 18V4 there will be four eclipses, two of the sun and two of the moon. An annular eclipse of the sun will occur April 15th, and a total eclipse September 29th, but both will bo invisible to any part of America. A partial eclipse of the moon will occur March 21st but will not be generally visible in the Unit ed States. Another partial eclipse of the moon will take place on Sept. 14th and 15th and will be visible in all parts of America. An old pine tree that has been a land mark in the Pike county moun tains because of its great height, was cut down a few days ago says an exchange. The tree was found to be 372 feet high, and the infallible rcc» ords of the rims of its stems showed its age to be 402 years, so that it was H respectable sized tree sixty two years of age when Columbus discovered America. It was perfectly sound from butt to tip, and will cut $2,000 worth of lumber. Mr. Cleveland has carried the war into Africa by nominating Wheeler H. Peckham for Associate Justice in place of Mr. Ilornblower, turned down. As a battle against the New York machine Mr. Cleveland's course is creating some interest in that State, but the country at large is becoming decidedly weary of the whole business. Uncle Sam's mail clerks handled more than five billion pieces of mail matter during 1893. Here are some of the enormous figures: 2.407,810- 175 letters, 535,917,899 postal cards 1,434,245.632 newspapers and peri pamphlets, third class matter, and 48,733,171 pieces of fourth class matter. MUMCY VALLEY ITEMS. Theo. Moncer, the shoe maker, is on the sick li»t, hope he will get around soon or the soles of the peo ple will suffer. Bruse Pennington has returned to his former home, Fairmount Springs Pa. The boys will misa Bruce with his sly jokes. William Moran is talking of trad ing his pony for a good driving horse; then look out or he will forget his hat like the other fellow. There is to be an able lecture at Sonestowu, Friday evening, by Prof. Johnson, County Supt- of Union Co. It is said he is one of the best educators in the state. Quite an excitement in town Sat urday over the township caucus. It looks as if the boys got tlmre. Jas. says he thinks lie was nominated, but don't know about Ellis. Our schools arc chuck full. The attendance is the largest ever known. The teachers say it is due to free text books. We arc proud of our teachers, they are not working for •alary alone, as the childred are learning. We believe the schools of I Davidson are equal to any in the county. OBSKHVEB, I JERE. KELLY'S COLUMN. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN once said "If you wish to know the value of a dollar, try to borrow one."
