The Popular Congressman frem the 18th District will be Uraed to be a Candidate for Governor. Hon. T. II. Malion, the member of congress from the lfsth congression al district, will be urged by his many friends to be a candidate for Gover nor. Mr. Malion has been un influ ential member of the National Con gress and his position among his fel low c ougrcHMineti has been on an equality with tho best of them. He t. $ (-TIP.. ffd CONGHKSSMAN T.H. MA HON. is deliberate and judicious in his en couragement of new laws. Hois for Sound Money and everything that is republican.

It U there fore easy urilhuietic to perceivo that the appro priation that congress must, make for pensions next season must aggre gate not less than !isii,. (KXI.IHM). This tremendoiiH sum would in itself, be enough to run a reasonable gov ernment. One would not complain if it were an honest debt, but a largo proportion is not dobt, because it was nev er earned by any act of patriotism or heroic ser vice. The government hold up and despoiled of no mean portion of this, and it scorns helpless to defend itself. Onn can not help being curious to know how ninny more years it will take to ex. haust the generation which foels itself injured by the war. It is safo to say that never did a gen eration display such re markable longevity. In tiritml Iti'tlvH.

This timn not before presnleiit and commanders, but before reviewing (jllieeis who appreciate nioii. und more us the days go by the heorie sacrifices that wer. made to preserve tho union. Jt is leullv wonderful ami a source of gratification how well the veter ans stand their burdens of ud.led veins. The average age of the M.l.liersof the rebellion in 57 years, but this burden of time did not prevent li,(HM of them from marching several miles with steps that were lightened bv the sounds of the life and drum uud the great brass bund. Do tho people appreciate the services render ed by the men who wore the blue? Let the dem onstrations at St. Paul make reply. Little girls strewed (lowers at their f., t then", just as little girls did when the tattered and sunburned veto runs marched up P eiiiisylrniiia avenue in Wash ington more than thirty years ugo. Young wo men threw at their tune-burdened feet the choicest garlands, just us young women did more than thirty years ago, when the war bronze.l veterans of Grant and Sherman and Sheridan passed in grand review along Pennsyl vania avenue, while joyous thousands snug songs of glad acclaim at victory won and na tional honor preserved. A living (lag with sripes of red and white uud Hashing stars made up of 2,000 little children, waved its living folds and Bang songs ns tho old soldieis marchod by with tear-wet eyos. Tho children sang and wept ns grizzled vete rans marched and wept, and all the people stood with uncovered heads and shouted and sang in honor of tho Grand Army of the Republic, and tears of gratitudo mingled with tears drawn from time-dimmed eyes, and so the remnants of the grandest army that over fought in free dom's cause marched once ngaiu iu grand re view before the people whoso liberties that Grand Army had preserved. Ed. M. Hummel. Wo herewith publish tho portrait of Ed. M. Hummel, the candidate for Stp.te Senator from this district. Mr. Hummel was born and raised in Mouroo township, this county. For a number of yeurs he has been en gaged in the lumber business having purchased and controlled tho Main Saw Mill at Selinsgrove.

It is tho most complete work issued thus fur on that all-important issue now before the Ameri can people.

Every employer of men should pro cure at onco a number of the books nnd hand t hem to his workmen. It is not written in an offensive way, nor can it offend the most sensitive Democrat. It is compiled in such a manner and with such u strict re gard for truth that it cannot, fail to convince. This book should be iu large quunties en the tables in every campaign club throughout the country, and Campaign Committees throughout everv part of I he luud should possess themselves of u suf ficient number of these hooks to be distributed to every voter in their counties.
