Republican Plana.
As Republican members of tho
next Congress begin to arrive in
Washington tlie nature of the legis
lation which will lie went to Presi
dent Cleveland gradually becomes
apparent. It is now plain that the
Republican leaders, in planning for
revenue' legislation which shall an
nihilate the Democratic deficit and
at the same time provide a measure
of protection for industries now
laboring under disadvantages of ad
verse legislation by the last Congress
are simply'expressing the sentiment
of the great masses of the party.
Mr. Dalzell, Pennsylvania, whose
position as a member of the Ways
and Means committee gives some
significance to his words when they
chance to agree with the views of
Mr. Reed, given recently at a jolifi
cation meeting of district Republi
cans, and the sentiment which re
ceived greatest approval from his
audience was a declaration that the
nest Congress would be false to its
trust if it did not pass legislation
whieh would provide for revenue by
a protective duty.
"It will not bo a revision of the
tariff," lie said, "but it will be a
measure that will alford sufficient
revenue from our custom houses to
pay the expenses of our Government
as they are incurred. It will be a
measure passed by the Republicans
and on the line of Republican prin
ciples. Ifit does not meet the ap
proval of the President, let the sac~
rificc not be made by those who arc
fresh from the people and who have
their instructions; but let the sacri~
lice be made l>y the Chief Executive,
whose policy the people have been
condemning.

An Italian recently appeared be
fore Judge Morrison, of I'otter (Jo.,
and asked for naturalization papers.
The Journal reports the conversation
as follows: "Who is the President
of the United States ?" asked Judge
Morrison of the dusky sou of Italy
as he came up to get his robe ol
sovereignity. "George Fag." "Were
does he live ?" asked His Honor.
•'He liva in Bradford; he keep da
druga store." While its slightly un
certain who the real president is,
Judge Morrison decided that it was
not George C. Fagnoti, and he inti
mated that to exercise the right ol
franchise in this republic a man
should know something of our gov
ernment.

Frank Riirkr «t I.opea Arretted
lor AnmwmU Willi Intent to Kill.
Fr.mk Hnrke of Lopez, was arrest
ed on Wednesday, November 20, for
assault with intent to kill upon Fred
rick KegU'3' and was placed under
3300 bail by Charles Schoeka justice
of the peace, of Lopez. Mr. Burke
secured the required bondsmen and
the matter was supposed to be over
until the December Grand Jury
made investigations, but owing to
the critical position of Mr. Kegley it
was thought best by our Dist. Atty.,
E J Mullen that the bail bonds be iixod
at a larger amount, and in accord
ance with Mr. Mullen's suggestions
Burke was re-arrested on Saturday,
November 23, and bonds required in
the sum of *IOOO. This amount
Mr. Burke could not secure and was
brought to the county seat on the
above mentioned date and placed in
the county jail to await the result of
tho December Grand Jury. Mr.
Burke is a young man and feels the
sting of his misdeeds very much.
THE STOLLY OF THE FIOTIT.
On July 4th, 1895, tho Woman's
Christian Temperance Union held a
pic-nic at Lopezo and Mr. Burke
assisted in serving the delicacies;
while thus engaged Mr. Kegley the
prosecutor, got into an altercation
with a fellow companion, the name
of whom wo could not learn, and
finally words came to blows and
while they were thus engaged Burke
claims that he separated them and
for this Kegley was angry and said
IJO would shoot Burke on sight.
Burke said he was not pleased with
this remark and caused Kegley's
arrest, placing him under S2OO bail
to keep the peace.
On Tuesday evening Kegley and
Burke came together in a certain
bar room in Lopez and old matters
were brought up which resulted in
Burke striking Kegley, who is per
haps 60 years of ago, with his fist
several times and once on the head
with a bottle cuUitig a deep gash in
his head. Since the fracas Kegley
has been confined to his room and
bis injuries were considered danger
ous, hence the confinement, of Burke.
We might add, however, that Burke
claims that he was intoxicated at the
time of the light.

Why am I, A Deinoerat?
We suggest that the Democrats of
Sullivan county in all seriousness
and calmness propound thiH inquiry
to themselves. We have just emerg
ed from a campaign which must have
set all Democrats to thinking upon
the causes which have occasioned
their overwhelming defeat in almost
every state in which an election was
held on the fifth of November.
There is 110 political excitement
now. You can consider the ques
tion fully before another campaign
opens.
If you are a farmer will you ask
yourself the question—"Why am I
a Democrat ?" Has the Democratic
party when in power ever passed
any law to improve your condition ?
But a very small percentage of your
number can have any direct pecuni
ary interest in being Democrats for
the sake of office. There are not
enough of these to pass around.
Your greatest interest is in being
able to earn a livelihood, pay for the
farm you have purchased and pro
vide for old age. Can you do so
with wool now selling for ten cents
a pound, when it formerly brought
thirty-five cents under a protection
nflbrded by the McKinley bill. Do
you find a ready market now for
your potatoes, when Canada pota
toes are coming into the states under
the reduced tariff of the Wilson bill
and underselling you in the markets?
Cauadian hay is also underselling
Vmerican hay and the fanner is
made to suffer loss.
If you are a mechanic will you
ask yourself : "Why am I a Demo
crat ?"
Has the Democratic party ever
passed a law in the interests of the
uechanic or artisan ? In its loud
>oast that it was making an effort to
;heapen merchandise it Las also
heapened labor because labor con
more than seventy-five per
•ent. of the cost of all manufactured
foods. The Democratic party from
lie days of slavery and "ten cent
Hmmie Buchannan" has always been
(.ho advocate of cheap labor.
If you are a young man, just about
10 cast your first vote will you ask
yourself the question: "Why should
I be a Democrat 1"' Is it not a satis
:ictory answer for an intelligent
voung man who has had the benefit
if schools to say: "Because my
father was one." In matters of pol
itics men should do their own think
ing. Why should you bo a Demo-
Tat? Here and there one may
mswer, because I hope in the near
future to socure a county office. But
Sullivan county is not as surely
Democratic as it was some years ago
tnd the time has coino when a nomi
nation is not equivalent to an elec
; ion. What progressive policy has
lie Democratic party to-day. There
ire 110 two states in the Union where
I,lie party adopts a similar platform.
There is no fixed political policy
oontroling the party. In one state
you must be a free-trader and in
mother for a tariff for revenue only,
ui another, follow Cleveland as a
,'old mono-metalist aud in another
be a ranting free silveritc.
In Sullivan county the officers are
sontroled by rings and the candida
tes selected by bosses and are nom
inated by these rings. Why should
you be a Democrat ? You can give
110 reason satisfactory even to your
self for being one.
A Good C'liancc to Fight.

She Taught Daneing and Was
Denounced.
Camden, N. J., Nov. 24.—Some of
the members of the First M. E.
church arc deeply grieved over wbnt
they say was an uncalled for denoun
cement of an esteimable young wos
man, by Rev. Dr. J. B. Graw, pastor
of the church. The young woman's
offence consisted of teaching her
vounger sister and several of her
girl friends the art of dancing.
Miss Carrie Mead is a member of
the Broadway M. E. church. A few
weeks ago her sister Edna, a gill of
fifteen years, asked Miss Carrie to
teach her and one or two of her
young friends to dance. Miss Mead
consented and the dancing lessons
began. Last Sunday night Miss
Mead accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
Murray, the parents of one of the
young girls she is teaching, to the
First church, and had the misfortune
of hearing herself denounced In
flaming language. In the course of
x sermon directed aguinst the theatre
and dancing and other terrible evils,
Rer. Dr. Qraw said he had heard of a
young lady who had formed a danc
ing class and was taking the pure
and innocent children of the Sunday
school and teaching them the terrible
thing. He likened such a young
lady to the tiger, with his soft
smooth fur, and its deadly claws
lurking beneath. Continuing the
line the preacher said:
' If that young lady is in the con>
gregation all I have to say is that
she is a fool."
Miss Mead was so astonished that
she could hardly speak after the
meeting, but since then her brother,
Alfred Mead, has taken the matter
up, and says tbut Dr. Graw has not
heard the last of it by any means.
The preacher said he had no apol
ogy to make. At a public meeting
in Camden on Thursday night last
Dr. Graw took occasion to speak of
the incident. He said that he had
been called upon and told that he
had made an error, "but so long as
I live," he -said, "I shall preach the
truth."
Teachers" Local Institute.
Minutes of the teachers' local in
stitute, held at Forksville, November
23, 1895.

Meylert. It was suggested that we
proceed to the election of officers,
upon which Mr. Roe was chosen
president and Robert Molyneux
secretary.
The question box was then taken
up which contained many questions
of interest tLat were intelligently
discussed.
Institute then adjourned until 1:30
p. m. Afternoon session called to
order by chairman, followed by sing
ing from the "Wreath of Gems."
The regular program was then taken
up. The subject of Chart Work was
discussed by Miss Hilton followed
by remarks from Supt. Meylert point
ing out the great error of using the
poiuter with chart reading.
The cultivation of standard litera
ture by Prof, Roe, this was followed
by remarks from Rev. Laine and
Supt. Meylert. Suggestions on con
ducting recitations by Miss Battin,
