The Next Republican Primary.
Already eonsidi ruble interest i;
inanifotitl in the coming rcpuMi-iui
primary election. Those who art'
nursing lioomlcts fir one jmsition or
another are already steering Kick
and iorth and wutclunr straws to
see how the wind is Mowing.
aiihiii'T tne most liniHiriani imh
sitioiis to Im- filled is the position of
1 . I IT t
licnrfM-ntuiivc in the I louse oi wep-
reseiitativis at Harrishurg. Sn viler
county should have an holiest man
at the State Capitol, one who can
not lie bought by some petty ap
jioiiitiiicht or committee or a chance
to smuggle a bill through under the
guise of personal expenses. We
think it is none too early for the
iKuplc to demand of any and all
candidates who propose to enter the
race a satisfactory statement hound
up in bull dog IkmkIs not to accept
money for services or expense ex
cept that implicitly allowed by the
constitution and that he will not
vote for an appropriation to others
except as stated and provided by
law. The jicople of Pennsylvania
have been bull-dozed, skinned and
robbed by a more olluted and dis
solute band of corniptionists than
ever tread ujhhi the soil of the an
cient city of Rome in its darkest era.
And now liefore any names of can
didates have lieen announced, let the
people of Snyder county by a reso-
lute nd unflinc'oW wilrktoliimU Vf t,,e . 8t,.ent8 reai?

to Tl'tVunc ilie igtioniflVv 'which has
so glaringly existed in the past.
AVc are fully aware that with too
many jntiple a five-didlar bill brings
more argument to secure a vote
than whole columns ot the soundest
advice. We live in hopes, however,
that there are enough people who ap
preciate honest men in public ofliix'
to defeat any man who is not willing
to satisfy the people in advance that
lie can not lie swerved from the path
of duty.
The position of Associate Judge
lias become a plum that many de
sire. No less than ten or twelve
persons arc already smacking their
lips for a taste of the plum. If the
soil is as fertile in the future as it
lias Im-cii in the past the office should
yield aliout a thousiiid dollars. The
law allows a cmicnsatioii of ".00
a day and mileage for all days used
on ollicial business. A man nml
not work all day to get a day. This
jHisitioii is certainlv a very desirable
one to till and it is no wonder that
there are so many aspirants for ju
dicial honors.
These are two important positions
to Ik- filled and there will lie plenty
of applicants. It behooves ,1.
voters to put in good men.

Judge Ellison
Judge Alfred Ellison's talk,
"Freedom, Friendship and Charity,"
largely impromptu, was replete with
solid, substantial thoughts in a sett
ing of licautiful language and hu
morous and pathetic incident. Those
who have read his poetry as it has
apcarcd from time to time in the
Chicago Xcws, Eugene Field's pa
JK.T, know whence those delicate
touches, with which his discourse
was shaded, came. He has that
same intense1 intimacy with the hu
man heart which characterizes
Riley's, liurdette's and Field's best
anecdotes, and enjoys all the jwwer
over sentiment which these men
I 1 m
nave cmovcu. lucre was not one
in his audiemr yesterday who did
not feci a pleasurable satisfaction in
listening to him from thy. time he
Irgan to the tune he closed. If the
Madison people arrange a lecture
course this winter they must not
fail to retain Judge Ellison to talk
on "Kings and (uecns," for whicl:
yesterday's effort argues well.

ing, Monday, Dec. G, 1897, to con
tinue one week.
Every effort has leen put forth
to obtain the best jsissible talent,
Isith for day and evening entertain
ment and instruction. The follow
ing jH-rsons will lie present with us
during the week :
Supt. (J. T. Cooper, Mifllin Co. :
Hon. Henry Houek, Deputy Supt.
Public Instruction, llarrisburg,
Pa. ; Supt. L. E. McCinnes, Steel
ton, Pa. ; Dr. C. C. River, Kutz
town, Pa. ; Dr. J. P. Welsh,
Illoomshiirg, Pa.
Monday evening will Ik? devoted
to the teachers. A sisi-ial pro
gramme will lie prewired for this
entertainment, which will lie pub
lished next week.
Tuesday evening, Hon. Henry
Houek, subject, "Ilound to Will."
Mr. Houek needs no introduction to
Snvder count v audiences. His
work whether lecturer or instructor
has always lieen the most satisfac
tory, and many are the men and
women, yes teachers likewise in
Snyder county, who can and justly
do attribute much for the inspira
tion they have received for nobler
living from the ringing, witty ad
dresses ot Dr. Houek.
Wednesday evening, I loward
Siixby, Cincinnati, Ohio, subject,
"Wits, Ancient and Modem."
"Mr. Saxby is an orator, a hu
morist and a philosopher. As a
humorist and a wit lit? is unexcell
ed in the U.S. As an orator lie is
rocogized among the most brilliant.
It is not often that the people in
this part of the country have an op
portunity of hearing such mem."
Ml. Olivet (Ky.) frihtw.
Thursday evening, Dir. 0, Hon.
A 1 fnil Ellison, Anderson, Ind.,
subject, "DK's the World Move?"
Judge Ellison rendered such ex
eellent satisfaction last year that I
engaged him immediately for this
Institute. He is one of earth's
spmally gifted men. Every jkt
son wants to and ought to hear El
lison. More particulars us well as regu
lar programmes will be sent to
teachers and directors next week.
