mUBUGAH MEWS ITEM. WING,, Editor. Published T3very:Thursd»y Afternoon j By The Sullivan Publishing Co. ! At the County Beat of Sullivan County. LAI'ORTE. PA. I F.ntered at the Post Office at Laporte, an j second-class mail matter. The Herald cannot let the result of the late election rest. It publish ed another article last week reitera ting the stale slang about trading votes. The editor vents his spite as usual on the Doctor and Vincent, and logically inculpates Lee Gavitt. He wails for the defeat of Bird. Oh the pity of it! such a deserving Republican—such a good man, to be defeated by Lee Gavitt. Lee Gav itt or his friends traded off E. G. Rogers and the Doctor and Vincent traded off Bird. It is not the News It(>m that says this, it is the Herald. The News Item of the 13th demon strated by citations from the elect ion returns that there is no truth in these allegations, but Scouten still repeats them. He acts upon the evil 11 mxin that a lie well stuck to is as effective as the truth. The Herald's hypocritical, after election, praises of Mr. Bird are not intended to benefit him, and he owes it no thanks. During the campaign the News Item did full justice to Mr. Bird's high standing in the county as a man of integrity and ability; and his honorable couduct during the campaign, and since, has raised him in the public estimation. Last week's Herald repeats the charge. We shall not repeat our answer, for a liar can repeat his charge indefinitely. We copy the annexed article from tin Sullivan Gazette. We are glad tii it influential paper has awakened t«> the importance of curtailing the c\'travagent expenditure of money . in our county affairs. There is a great responsibility on grand juries in recommending county bridges and ex penses around the courthouse of fices and public grounds. All waste fid expenditures should be stopped. "The finances of Sullivan County present rather a gloomy aspect. Tins is caused principally by the grand juries recomending altogether too many county bridges. Several thousand dollars have been added to the county indebtedness each year of late by the building of county bridges. The Gazette is reliably in formed that the receipts of the coun ty just about pays the interest on the indebtedness and running expenses as the county has been run for the last few years, The present board of commission er- have endeavored to reduce the indebtedness but the grand juries seem to have a craze to grant new coifnty bridges in various sections of (he county, causing several thousand dollars to be added to the expenses each year, which could, and ought to be borne by the several town ships and boroughs themselves. These bridges cost the county much more to build and maintain than it would the districts in which they are located. . The grand juries of Sullivan coun ty for a number of years have been \vry extravagent in recommending the expenditure of money and il they do not stop in their mad ca reer they wiil sink the county hope lessly in debt". The County Auditors report at the beginning of the present year show ed over three thousand dollars due to the county from collectors of former years. How much of this has been collected we do not know, hut we hear there is a shortage of county money in the treasury, and talk of borrowing money to pay the jurors at December term. To bor row money and leave just dues un collected would be poor business management, but more than that— the commissioners have no right to increase the county debt without a vole of the people. In the case of Pike county vs Rowland !>4 P. S. It. page 248 it was decided by the Supreme Court that "ihe municipal authorities may in crease the debt from time to time u itil two per centum has been add ed, provided the original debt, with the increase does not exceed seven per centum. After the two per cent um has been added there can be no further increase without the vote of t)ie people." The county debt of tins county already largely exceeds two per centum of the valuation. With entire good will to the com missioners we remind them that if tii y contract an unconstitutional debt the County Auditors may sur charge thein with it. If the audi tors should fail to do so, tax payers may appeal and have it adjudicated by the court. The S»>lrlt'» Wl»U|>erltiK». The most decisive witness of the Holy Spirit's coming are often whis perings instead of shoutings In our ears. The world around us is filled ■with evidence. The word of God steals upon us like a thief In the night. We ought to be concerned about the repeat ed dally coming of Christ.—Rev. F. J. McConuell, Methodist, Cambridge, Mass. nellfclon and Toll. Religion Is not something remote from the toil and trials of human life. It is not too delicate and celestial to enter into the battles and struggles of men. We should be untrue to our prin ciples and recreant to our trust if we did not use all our powers of persuasion to create an atmosphere in which these difficulties which now vex the country shall be settled and permanently set tled with justice to all.—Rev. F. L. Phalen, Unitarian, Worcester. Tlie Kingdom of Heaven. "The kingdom of heaven," a phrase, a figure of speech, a picture, a dream, intangible, vague, mysterious, yet it expresses the inspiration of all the generations, the dominant force In all history, for under some form of words it has voiced the faith and aspiration of humanity from the beginning, and all the struggles of the afjes have been but witnesses to its hidden energy. Wherever men have believed in some thing purer, holler, more enduring and more satisfying than they have yet seen or known there the influence of the kingdom of heaven has been felt.— Rev. Dr. V. V. Raymond. President Union College, Schenectady, N. Y. ReHnlon Contusions. Religion Is contagious. Therefore walk as a child of light. Like the fire on the ground that creeps from one in flammable particle to another or in the woods from bush to bush and tree to tree, so the truth spreads from heart to heart. The mother's piety often affects the child. The son becomes a Christian partly because the father Is one. The sister's unselfish, consistent life leads the brother nearer to Christ. The holy fire, thought by the worshipers to be from God himself, at the church of the holy sepulcher at Jerusalem goes when handed out from person to person, from taper to taper, till the whole area is a sea of flame, and the galleries, too, are lit up with the sacred blaze. Thus should the fire of eternal life spread from man toman, from heart to heart, till all men shall truly know the Lord. —Rev. T. 11. Acheson, Presbyterian, Denver. Science nnd Revelation. If this Bible does not appeal to the brain, how Is it that science and reve lation by the statements of the Bible are daily becoming more and more har monized? As Intelligent men do you not know that, though the scientists have for centuries been squabbling, these differences are gradually passing away and that science and revelation are coming into closer and more har monious relations in regard to many things whereon they formerly dis agreed? It is only within a few weeks that Professor Sayce, writing on the latest archaeological discoveries, said, "In every ease where we can tpst the Bible story by contemporaneous mon uments, the authenticity of which is doubted by no one, we find It con firmed and explained even in the mi nutest points." Do you not know cs intelligent men and women that many recent discoveries of the archaeologist* prove that the leaves of the Bible, some of them written 3,000 years ago, are facts which are continually being re vealed?— Rev. Dr. Frank De Witt Tal uiage, Presbyterian, Chicago. No Pence Wltliont Christ. A life without Christ Is a life with out peace. Without him It is possible to have excitement, pleasure, gratified passions, success, accomplished hopes. But peace, never. That you cannot have until you goto him. The Christ less heart is like the sea that cannot rest. There is no peace for it. But in Christ you can get it for the asking. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. For our sakes he died upon the cross, so making peace. Trust him and the God of peace will fill you with all joy and peace in believing. Then bow your wills In obedience to his com mands, and so your peace shall be as a river.—Rev. R. H. Carson, Presby terian. Brooklyn. Foley*s Honey and Tar cures colds, prevents pneumonia.
