If the question were nsked every one: Why are you a Deniocratf or why are you a Republican? How many could give intelligent and (even to themselves) satisfactory answers? We fear that the best answer good portion could give would bo because "they are built that way" -because their fathers were of that faith, and they were bred in it. There is poli tical bigotry as well as religions bigotry. Remember Allcock'B are the only genuine Porous Plasters.

The inside has been en tirly remodeled and greatly improv ed. It .is now one of tho most stylish in appearance as well as one of the best kept hotels in the county and Chas. L.

"We like to hear a man eomplaiu when asked to subscribe for a home paper that he subscribed for a city paper, nnd then go and borrow his neighbor's, or loaf around until he gathers all the news from it We like to see a man run down his home paper as not worth taking and now and then beg the editor for an editorial favor.

CO., PA, SEPTEMBER 20, 1888. No bad man is ever brought to re pentance by nngry words or bitter scornful reproaches. He fortifies himself against reproof, nnd hurls back terrible charges in the face of his accuser. Yet, guilty and hardened as he seems, lie has a heart in his bosom and may be melted into tears by a voice. Whoso, therefore, can restrain his disposition toblameand find fault, ami ran bring himself down to a fallen brother, will soon find a way to better feelings within. Pity and patience are the two keys which unlock the human heart. Kisses. A prominent physician calls the kiss "an elegant dissemina tor of disease." He says, "fever is spread by it, so are lung disease." He maintains that if the kissing cus tom were driven out of the land "it would save one-tenth of one percent, of human lives," which are now sac rificed. Out upon the gnarled and nples vagalHUid ! Evidently kisses are not for such as he and the old fox says, the grapes are sour. Let him devote himself to making our women healty and blooming that kisses may be kisses.

On last Saturday two of our crack marksmen drove out into the coun try in spring wagon to hunt gray aqnirrcih). At the edge of the m oods they kit the wagon stand and betook themselves to the thickets to go after their game. In the meantime some tricky fellow got at and exchanged the wheels of the wagon, putting the hind wheels in front and the front wheel on tho hind axles. After a while the hunters returned, loaded down with game, mounted the w agon without suspecting anything and started for home. They had made some of the distance w heu it occur red to them that something was wrong about their wagon, though they knew not wlmt. Both got off to examine the vehicle, but failed to see anything extraordinary. They are evidently short-sighted and had forgotten their spectacles, They again took their seats and continued their homeward journey, all the time feeling that uot all was right. They finally reached home, when some of our townsmen called their attention to the queer construction of their rolling stock. The bystan ders called it a good joke and we think they were about right.

It is a stock concern, shares worth seventy-tive cents each. For every share subscribed books will be furuishod, a library fitted up. and care taken of it for one year. A firm represented by a Mr. Fisher has the matter in hands and if it receives the encouragement it should receive we can have a pul lie library at last.

The real plat form this year is the dinner pail, for the issue of overshadowing inipor tance is the wages of the working man. Food and clot hing wen nev er so cheap ami so good as now. The question is. shall wages come down, too ' Mr. Cleveland ami his followers say "yes." The Repub licans say "tin." The idea that Bdva Ann Lock wood should be puzzled over the selection of a design for her cam paign badge is preposterous. Let her adopt a miniat urc washboard or clothes wringer and be happy. Philadelphia Press. Belva Ann docscu't do her own washing. Like President Cleveland with his tight ing. she employs a sub stitute. Our Democratic friends insist that Free Trade is a great pauacea for all the ills that the wage-worker is heir to. Let him explain why in Free Trade England so hu ge a pur port ion of the laboring people is unemployed and why even those who lire employed are scarcely able to earn wages enough to keep body ind soul together. A recent traw l . . . ,.,1,11, er in tlie .viain li sti r ami iiciit. i.i manufacturing districts of England says "the condition of the wage workers tin re was distressing. Poorly fed, poorly dot hed and poorly paid for labor. Besides in a twn lays walk through the villages then? ho never once heard the sounds of an organ or piano.'' In American manufacturing villages the exception is to find the laboring man's hoiist without one orthoothcr.
