Why are buttons on mens' cloth
ing on the right hand side, and on
womens' clothing on tl.e left hand
side ? This is curious, but true.
It would be interesting to know the
reason.—Towanda Review.
All editors arc bold and daring,
and privileged creatures, but they
are altogether too modest to inves
tigate this alleged difference.
The tax payers of Laporle twp.
held a Union caucus at the polling
place in said township on Wednes
day. That is right. It brings
about good feelings and harmony,
and more, it selects the best men for
the various offices. In a few years
there will be no party issue at the
Spring elections. This will be as it
should be.
Hank Bentley of Laporte, formerly
of Towanda, has purchased of the
Lake Mokoma Land Company the
ice during the winter on Mokoma,
and will harvest and ship the same
to New York, Philadelphia, William,
sport, Towanda and other places.
At this writing the ice is said to be
first class-—being- 8 or 9 inches in
thickness. Henry hopes to make
quite a speck on his investment.
One of our townsmen called on a
sick neighbor the other day and the
odor that gushed from his person
caused an eruption of the stomach
of two of the supposed well persons
of the family. The room was warm
and of even temperature and of
course the longer he stayed the more
the corruption about his person
yielded to the sun light, and the
harder the perfume. Such filthiness
belongs to the hogs.
The character and business make
up of a community is invariable
judged bj* what is represented in
the advertising columns of its local
newspaper. Nevertheless from a
perusal of the advertising columns
of the Rkpubucan our readers
would never suspect that there is a
national bank in Dushore. They
would learn, however, that there is
a bank in Laporte. This conspic
uous absence of the Dushore bank
advertisement may be our fault, but
if it is, we don't know it.
Hemarks on the County Stale
meat
The annual statement of Sullivan
county published elsewhere in the
REPUBLICAN, shows the liabilities
in excess of resources $3,348.12
This reverse from last year's audit
is brought about from the fact that
the out going County Commissioners
were put to the expense of erecting
two county bridges and making prep
arations for a new courthouse.
While it is true the old Board did
not settle in full with the bridge
contractors, yet they paid out as the
statement shows $1,358.24 for new,
and repairing bridges. This is quite
an item of itself. Then the tearing
down of the old courthouse and
making preparation for a new one,
was an additional expense which our
county is not apt to overtake again
in many years. The removing of
the old building cost (see statement)
$338.43. Two steel cages and the
cost of putting them up, $357.40.
Fitting up school room for court
room $60.42. Removing prisoners
to \V illiamsport jail, $70.50. First
payment on new courthouse SI,OOO.
Architects' commission and paid by
the old Board, $732.00. This ad
ditional work increased the salary of
the County Commissioners about
S4OO. Then there were several notes
held by the county against convicts,
thrown aside by the auditors. These
notes while perhaps worthless, were
included in last years' audit, hence,
the non appearance of these figures
in this statement reduces the resour
ces just that much.
The following is a recapitulation
of the figures as shown above :
New bridges and repairing $1,358 24
Removing old Court House 338 43
Two steel cages for prisoners 357 40
Kilting up school room for court ro'm 6(J 42
Removing prisoners to and from
Williamsport 70 89
Rent for Sheriff 87 50
First payment on Court House 1,000 00
Architects' commission 732 00
Additional salary of Corn's. 400 00
Notes thrown aside 200 00
Total $4,560 88
The statement shows the county
to be in debt $3,34«.1:2. The old
Hoard of Commissioners as shown
above has paid out on additional
expenses of former years, $4,560.88.
The difference between the amount
of the indebtedness of the county
and the amount paid out on addition
al expenses is $1,212.76, hence, had
not these additional expenses occured
the old Board of Commissioners,
Scanlin, Mcßride and Cheney could
have placed this amount on interest
and made an excellent showing in
what is termed their county state
ment.
The Corbett-Mitchell fight took
place in Jacksonville, Floriday, on
Thursday afternoon last, and was in
operation just nine minutes. Those
nine minutes were the sadest period
of Mitchell's life. lie was knocked
about the ring by Corbett the Amer
ican and failed to rise to his feet on
the fourth round, when the prize was
awarded to James J. Corbett' once
a cashier of a bank in California.
Both pugilists were arrested and
gave bail to appear at the Jackson
ville courts on the 28th day of Feb.
Old sports say the case will be
dropped, however.
Our neighboring town of Blooms
burg has recently been visited by
financial reverses that have driven to
the wall some of her oldest and best
citizens. Judgment to the amount
of many thousands of dollars have
been entered against Wm. Noal &
Sons, I. W. McKclvy and the
Bloomsburg Brass and Copper Co.
That these disasters are the outcome
of the stagnated condition of busi
ness brought on by the free trade
attitude of the Democratic partj T
who have been in control of the
Government since last March, none
can doubt.
Mrs. It. P. Woods, died at her
residence in Colwyn, Delaware Co.,
at a recent dale. Deceased was the
wife of contractor 11. P. Woods who
built the W. it N. B. It. R. from
llughesvillc to Nordmout some
years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Woods
and daughter Miss Allice spent
several summers the guests of the
Laporte Hotel, during the grading
of said road and had hosts of friends
in this vicinity. Husband and two
daughters survive the Mrs., who
have the sympathy of their many
old acquaintances here in their sad
bereavement.

A Man Now Unknown tor Preal*
dent.
WILKES BARKE, Jan. 26.—Henry
YVatterson, editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal lectured in this
city last night. Later he was enter
tained by the Westmoreland Club.
In an interview be said :
•'So far as the next Democratic
nominee for President is concerned
I think it more than likely tbat some
man unknown now to a single gen»
tleman in this room, myself included,
will be named. It is three years
before another President is chosen,
and three years in politics is a gen
eration. As I say, the man who
will be named by the Democrats is
quite likely to be dwelling in obscur
ity to-day. I think, however, Mc-
Kinley will be the Republican stand
ard-bearer."
Asked what he thought of Mr.
Cleveland personally, Mr. Watterson
said : "'I want to say that Grover
personally is a good fellow. lie is
good company when you know him
well, plays a fair game of poker,
takes bis whiskey straight and tem
perately, and all that. But he seems
to lack foresight. He won't be ad
vised. lie is bullheaded. He runs
away from his party. In short,
Mr. Cleveland is fatal to his friends.,,
Uen. Heaver Talks Buck.
"I have never said anywhere to
any person, 'I have no doubt that if
Harrison bad been re-elected the
business depression would have come
anyway, and the protection system
was the greatest curse ever inflicted
on a free people,'
"On the contrary, I believe, as I
have always believed, and say as I
have always said, that the protection
system is the only one which will
enable this country to maintain its
own industrial independence, its
dignity and its prosperity. It is
essential to the individual prosperity
of the wage earners and payers alike
and any serious interference with
that, system, as it has been in force
for oyer thirty years, must necessari
ly involve the country and all classes
of our citizens in the distress and
depression which now hangs over us
like a pall. A. BE.W'EH."
There seems to be a desire existing
with some of the Bradford county
papers to editorially attempt the
running of things political in Wyom
ing county. Of course Bradford
is a great big county, and she has a
great big Republican majority, and
may feel that she has a right to dic
tate to her small sisters, but in re-r
ferring back a short space of time
we find that the Republicans of little
Wyoming are far more capable of
properly handling her very small
majority than Bradford is of handl
ing her 3,000 or 4,000 majority, and
she needs all of her suggestions at
home. Hands off!—Tunkhannock
lit publican.
True, very true, and further, the
Towanda papers would run the
Sullivan-Wyoming Judicial contest
this winter and next fall if urged
right hard.
The people of Sullivan and Wyom
ing would thank the editors of To
wanda to step down and out of this
little doings; as it only concerns the
people of this Judicial district.

number of the wealthiest men in

A Buffalo Horse Which Inalata
on Having Row Meat.
BUFFALO, JIN. 28.—Nicholas Retn
bardt, a butcher on Ash street, was
up to last Friday, the owner of a
horse possessed of cannibalistic
characteristics. Mr. Bernhardt
raised the horse from a colt, and
when quite young be learned to eat
raw meat. As he grew older he
became fond of flesh and would eat
meat and chew up bones rather than
oats and hay.
Eating meat seemed to develop a
streak of ugliness in the animal's
nature, and he grew to be so vicious
tbat Mr. Reinhardt would not allow
him to have meat at all. The day
after his meat was denied bim the
horse bit a large piece out of his
masters arm, chewed it up with evi
dent relish, and after that bit several
other people.
John O'llara, a stable boy employ
ed by Mr. Beinhardt, attempted to
put a bridle on the horse on Friday,
when the animal suddenly tried to
swallow his right arm. The boy
tried to get away, but the horse only
saDk bis teeth deoper into the flesh.
The boy's screams brought several
persons to the barn and the horse
was shot by a policeman, but not
until the boy's arm was so badly
torn that amputation at the elbow
was necessary. It is said that the
horse ate a humau arm which some
young men secured at one of the
accident hospitals and fed to him
for an experiment.
The Baltimore Sun asks to have a
tax of $lO placed on bachelors. The
Sun estimates there are 6,000,000 of
these chicken-hearted individuals in
the country. Some, however, are
caring for parents or sisters, some
have poor health, and some are un«>
able, through »miction or indolence
to care even for themselves; but
after making due allowance for all
these the Sun contends there are
4,000,000, left who should be made
to pay every year a tax amounting
to $40,000,l)0(),
