Thursday, Feb. 4, 1897. A False Statement Corrected. Tbe Salem correspondent of the Snyder County Tribune last week wrote tbe following: And now a groat many of our peo ple wonder why they signed the Vatiamaker pntitiou, especially as it is reported that they found their way into a Harrisburg sewer and never even were handed over to our representatives. Yea, verily, very strange things do happen. Wo do not behove that the learned scribo from Salom would knowingly misrepresent anything. Some one evidently misinformed the gentle man. The Waiiniiiuker petitions from voters of Snyder county were handed to Representative Herman and Senator Hummel while both were together in n room at the Lo chiol Hotel in the presence of 15 or IS republicans of Snyder county several from Penn township. We do not know when the Penrose pe tition was handed in, but we do know that a great many of them were brought from Harrisburg to Snvder county on the morning of the day the vote was taken. Per harm the scribe's error is in the name of the petition. Constables' Fees. A bill abolishing the system of re quiring Constables to make quarter ly returns to the Court of Quarter Sessions will be put in the House by W. C. Smith, of Bedford. This is an old custom which has long since be come as useless as expensive. At present Constables are required to go to the seat of the county in which they live on the first day of every term of Quarter Session Court, and make a sworn return to the judges In niuety-nine cases dut of a hun dred, they Bweur they have no re turns to make. Some judges have decided that there is 'nb provision for the Constables under the new fee bill, and they have to spend a day and the time in going to and re turning from court without compen sation. In some counties the Con stables are allowed per diem pay and mileage. Mr. Smith's bill provides that con stables who may hiivn knowledge of violations of tho law shall go before the nearest justice, who receives 25 cents for administering the oath, and the constable gets 50 cents for making the return. Mr. Smith says such a law would save from $."(),U00 to $100,000 annually to tho State. Ilncli It'll Am It'll Malt'.

Oue of tho best measures the present Legislature could pass would be the iixiug of interest in this State at a lower percentage than it is at present. Six per cont. is too much for tho farmer and other bor rowers to pay, considering tho con ditiou of business. There are many states in which, it lias been reduced to live per cent, and Pennsylvania could well afford to follow their ex ample. All laws should bo enacted for the many, but, unfortunately, in this stato they have boon enacted for tho few. Tho many are the borrow ers while tho few are the lenders, and nny laws iu the interest of the many will meet with popular favor. If tho law should be thus enacted money could bo had as readily at five as at six per cent., and it would be a great sav ing to the army of borrowers. It would meet with op position, of course, from the banks and thoso who loan money, but this is to be expeclod. However, the legislator who introduces the bill will find that he would have a large majority of his constituents with him. The present rate of interest is out of the times, and as the first of April is so rapidly approaching and as many will have to borrow at that time the Legislature must act quick ly if the bill is to be of any groat benefit this year. ' A TRUE BLUE REPUBLICAN. A Iwin Towmhl Tarter ! kla View ( Sack Aoaklcascas Toraa. Shamokin Dam, Jan. 30. Editor Post : You have several times asked the question in the colum of The Post, What is a "True Blue Republican T" We have it down fine in Monroe. Our committeemen say it means oue who at the November election voted for McKitiley. Well, let us see: then a man who voted the straight Republican ticket from Lincoln down and espoused Republican principles all tbe time who last Fall voted tbe straight tick et. except for McKinley is no "True Blue Republican" and is not allow ed to vote at our Republican Pri maries, see? If a man had some personal grudge against McKinley and did not vote at all for President bo can not vote at our Primaries; or going still farther, a voter who was sick and could not attend election at all can not votoat the Primaries because he did not vote for McKiuley. Query: Who is McKinley uny- how, is he tho llepublican God-head, or the Republican party ; or is he only a plain, unassuming, old fash ioned Republican, like Lincoln, Gar field, Harrison and Blaine? If such a resolution as tbe one that was passed by our Standing Committee were brought to Mc McKiuley's notice be would heave a deep sigh of pity for poor benighted Snyder. Now on the other hand there were many Democrats who voted for Me Kiuley but who voted the straight Democratic ticket otherwise, they are consequently entitled to vote at the Republican Primaries for what is "Sass for the goose is sass for the gander." How can we have a secret ballot if by our vote at the Primary elec tion we show exactly how we voted at the general election ? We hud hoped that the committee could give some reasonable explana tion of "True Blue Republican." An Old time Republican. A SCOURGE OF LA GRIPPE Is Raging Everywhere, Devasttng City, Town and Country Alike. Nothing equal to it lfas ever beou known. We have had la grippe be fore in this country in several well defined epidomics, but not as we are having it now. Everybody, every where, has it, has had it or is ex pecting to nave it. Iu every paper we read of it. Perhaps the worst feature about la grippe is that it is almost sure to leave consequences behind it which are far worse than the original disease. But it could not bave been otherwise than that some things have beon learned dur ing those sieges with la grippe. Uu told thousands have learned these things but a still greater multitude perhaps have these things yet to learn. First, that Pe-ru-na taken before eaeh moal and at bedtime will pro tect any one from having la grippe. Second, that Pe-ru-na taken every hour during tho acuto stago of la grippe will shorten its duration and prevent the long train of disagree able ousequoncos which follow tho acute attack. Third, that iu cases where Pe-ru-na has not been used during the acute stage and the vic tim finds himself dragging out a miserable cxistance from the dam age to his system accomplished by la grippe, he has only to take Pe-ru-na according to the directions on the bottle to realize a speedy and complete cure. The explanation of this is that la grippe is epidemic catarrh. Po-ru-na will cure catarrh wherever located. It will cure ca tarrh of every variety and stage. Therefore it will cure la grippe, which is Biinply tho epidemic variety of acute catarrh. During such a winter as this no one should be with out a copy of Dr. Hartmau's latest book which treats fully of la grippe, acute catarrh, chronic catarrh, coughs, colds, bron chitis, consumption and all other climatic disoasos of winter.
