The insurgents' literary bureau has now begun to circulate tho most un warranted and ridiculous stories about the governor, hoping to prejudice the people against him. They have started u report throughout the ssat< that Gov ernor Stone has painted the coat ot arms of the'commonwealth upon his private carriage. It -is almost impossible, to realize that there are persons in this suppos edly, intelligent community with such little common sense at their disposal as to believe such an absurd story, put out. as it is, with all those furbelows and fringes that are so characteristic of the insurgent literary bureau. And yet a Democratic convention in But ler county, taking tlie matter seriously, actually denounced Governor Stone in set terms for "placing the coat ol arms of Pennsylvania on the panels of hi' carriage." It is presumed that in the midst of this continued hot weather a certain degree of lunacy is permissible, but lunacy that reaches beyond a certain degree is apt to drive the victim to the insane asylum. These llutler Dem ocrats are dangerously near the divid ing line. Lest they may have imita tors elsewhere, lest others may make themselves equally ridiculous, it may .be well to overtake the lie and smash it with the truth and save well mean ing Democrats from exciting their brains while the sun is still powerful. Away back in the time of Governor lieaver the state provided a carriage for the use of the executive. It was the property of the state, just as is the executive mansion at Harrisburg, and very properly it bore the coat of arms, for it was an official carriage. It was used by Governor Beaver, it was used by Governor Pattison. it was used by Governor Hastings. During three ad ministrations of four years each it was in use. therefore, and the same carriage is still in existence. This is tlie story, and this is all there is in it. Governor Stone's private carriage bears a simple monogram, just as do all private carriages in the land, con taining the simple initials of his name. TOO Mt'Oll FOR M'CTATRE. Colonel A. K. MeClure. in HIP Phila delphia Times, which has persist ent I > (jpposed Senator Quay and published many of the insurgents' attacks up< a the stalwart Republicans, declined to print this carriage story. "Governor Stone." he frankly say in a Jeading editorial, "has provoked much criticism for bis official political acts and they are fairly open to dis pute. but he h l't a fool, nor is he a swell pretender. He is a straightfo. - ward, every day governor, who reg.'.ru: his political duties as paramount . ;nl performs them with tlie courage tint commands the respect of even th> who differ from him. "The statement that he has tal< n • swell departure by having the et.:'.- of-arms of the state emblazoned on his carriage is too silly to be worthy evc-i of contradiction, but when a com - - tion of one of the western countien jammed the coat of arms carriage Into a series of partisan resolutions i n • conies a necessity to stop such polliic ;i tomfoolery by telling the truth. "Governor Stone has the use of an official carriage that belongs to the state, just the same as that used by his predecessors for many years, and he has made ho more display in th carriage line than is due to his posi tion and to the people, of the state. ' ie may be criticized for many poii'iivl acts connected with his administration, but political carpers would do well to leave the carriage business out until some fool happens to be tumbled into the executive chair." This carriage story is but a s:.mp!e of the many despicable reports thai ;. put afloat to hurt the governor. ASIIBRIDGE ALSO A MARK The same tactics that have been dis played in their treatment of tin : o\- ernor have been exhibited in thi- . in within the last few weeks by the in surgent newspapers in their raid upon .Mayor Ashbridge's administration. Every .Philadelphia paper carrying the full page Wanamaker advertisement has swung around in its political course in a startling manner. Kvery important change of an office holder under the old Warwick regime calls forth a howl of protests from these newspaper organs. Attempts to reor ganize the various bureaus and bring about reductions in the force, in line with Mr. Ashbridge's policy of econ omy, provokes criticism and charges that the mayor or his subordinates who recommend the changes arc actuated by political considerations Meanwhile Ashbridge proceeds to carry out the plans outlined for his administration, and while the politicians of the Mar tin school and their newspaper allies roundly denounce him daiiy, the mayor calmly pushes his work alie:'d. . iid. like Governor Stone, command: the respect and confidence of T lie people, who recognize the motives ef nisi >■ i ducers. Beside the present wage increases In mills, mines iron and ste-'l works, the cheap skyrocketing antic.- of Wall street operators are insignUhent. they create no values save purely tic tioual ones. Wages are the bottom gunge to wealth and properity.—Bos ton Globe. I tiaporte Borough. i .l. \Y. Klyuu, Treasurerof School KUIKI F«»r the I school year ending June 5, 1899 I To anit. reed from A.
