Republican Victory Again.
The Republican party in Penn
sylvania should and will lie victor
ious again this Full. They have a
record behind them that Intth betokens
victory and deserves success. The
Republican prty promised toMain
taiu the standard of values, to make
every dollar, what metal it be,
equivalent to its staiii)ed value.
It presaged that the silver mine
owners should not thrust all their
product upon the government at a
price far in excess of its intrinsic
value. How has it kept its promises?
The credit of the nation has been
preserved and the honor and praise
of this country lias been enhanced.
There is a Governor and other officers
to bo elected in Pennsylvania in
November next and while there has
ccn a diversity C o;v:r! ill as to
who should lie the nominee for
Governor, now since theuoiniuatiou
has leen made, there ought to be no
(juestionas to who should be elected.
There are quiet a great many Con
gressman to be elected from Penn
sylvania and the Republican party
should lie as strongly represented as
lieforc and we believe it will Iw.
The Republican partv has a record
of which it im justly Ik- proud and
is entitled to success even lievoiid
the most sanguine exectations.
Another Hero.
It will Ik- a relief to Adiuira
I lewey to learn that a new nava
hero has transpired. Unless the
Admiral's disinclination for public
it v and all kinds of fuss has lieen
exaggerated he must regard it as
siH'ciallv providential that Manila
is ten thousand miles from home,
Constructor llobson'sfeat, however,
will make it easier tor hun to come
teems to have to thank fortune for is
that he got away alive. The moral,
therefore, of Mr. Hobson's sudden
rise into celebrity . is ' particular
sound and edifying one, considering
that it is born ot war. It is that
success worth having, waits on pre
paration, and Uiat the man who turns
out to be the right man in an import
ant place is the man who learned
how beforelmnd. Harper's Weekly.
Historical Society.
A quiet movement ia in progress
looking toward the formation of a
historical society for Mifflin county.
Right Much valuable local his
tory has been left run to waste and
there is no time to loose. We ought
to know what is fact and what is
tradition at present it all passes
for history. The Gazette is contri
buting its sluire in a historical way
by the "Newspaper Ix)re" series now
in course of publication, and we are
glad to receive testimony from vari
ous localities outside and inside the
county that they are widely reail
and favorably commented upon.
We take the above from the
Lewistown Gazette. A historical
society is needed in every county in
the state. 1 hat society in turn
needs active, diligent workers and
searchers in every township and
borough of the county. We are
pleased to note the item from our
esteemed contemporary making
known the fact that such a move
ment is quietly gaining foothold in
our neighboring county. 1 re Ga
vMe in MilMin county, like the Post
in Snyder county, has taken the
initiative in searching for reliable
data and publishing the same.
The Snyder county Historical
society is only six month old and
while it has not accomplished
as much as the members might wish
had been accomplished, yet it has
start and a visit to their room in the
court house will reveal at least s'jme
results of their organization. A
great many old copies of county
newspaiK-rs have been collected..
historical books, and a full set of
the second and third series of the j
Penna. Archives are in their posses-
- lit
siou. we wish more couiu nave
been accomplished, but this much
has been done, that without the or
ganization, it would not have been
accomplished. In the first place, a
start is necessary, hence we trust
our Miillin county neighbors may,
too, organize menisci ves into a
county Historical society, as such
an organization would be of mutual
beniiit to Siivdcr coiintv as well . as
Miliiin.

An Infamous Outrage and Travesty of
will be remembered that, some
months ago, Mr. Harry Gcnsburg,
who has u little notion und clothing
store in this place, was waylaid in
the Narrows in Centre county by a
gang of cutthroats and robliers, aiid
but for the lucky arrival on the
scene of a gentleman from Snyder
county, Mr. Geusbnrg might have
lost his life as well as his money,
and his bundle of clothing on his
pedlar's wagon. As it was, he was
Ixaitcn almost into insensibility by
the robliers, who only quit their
murderous work und ran uwav into
the wood when they caught sight of
the gentleman from Snyder county
coining that way.
Suspicion pointed to several par
ties as having committed or taken
part in this crime, and Mr. Gcnsburg
his creditors closed his store and sold
his goods under the sheriff's hum
mer. And now the saddest of nil
this cruel story is yet to be told : -u
Tuesday the sheriff ofCentrccouu y,
per orders he could not resist, but
which in the kindness of his big!
heart he would have loved to have
done, came to this place and arrested
Mr. Geusbnrg and took him to
Rellefonte to be placed in jail for
non-payment of the costs, which, we
are informed, exceed $400. Oh
what a travesty of just ice! first,
cursed, bullied, cruelly beaten and
almost robbed by highway brigands;
then cruelly condemned by twelve
Centre county jurymen for daringto
prosecute the suspected parties, for
that is the meaningof their wretched
verdict as to the costs : next crippled
in business, and now torn from his
home, wife and friends and thrown
into jail because he is too poor to
pay the unrighteous bull Heaven
save us from jwtke of that order.
But, surely this wtng will yet
be righted! It undoubtedly can be,
and when the humane Judge Ixive
of Centre county learns the situation
as it truly is, he will assuredly nrge
the county commissioners to exoner
ate Mr. Gensburg from the payment
of the costs and give him his free
dom. This the commissioners can
do, they will earn and receive the
plaudits of every lover of justice.

back, and before hegetsorderedtoour was importuned to have them ar
part of the world again there may be
hither subdivison's of ulory which
will help to make his native shores
less ominous to him. Constructor
Holism himself seems to lie a person
who is more likely to be dis
turbed than over-exalted by ap
plause. His record is that of an
ublcsnd very thoughtul man, devoted
to his profession and its problems j
and bent on doing business rather
than ou gathering renown. Yet
it is obviously the record of an
ambitious man who has meant
to get us near the top as his
abilities and opjKirtunities would
warrant. What bis abilities were
he has demonstrated by the steady
work which caused him to graduate
second in his class (1889) at the
Naval Academy, and then to be scut
abnxul for futber instruction. His
opjHirtuuities he lias siezed when
.they offered, and when they haven't
offered he lias in vented them. He is
credited with proposing the post
graduate course in construction at
the Naval Academy, of which he
I ad charge when he got permission
to sail with Admiral Sampson's fleet.
His chance to take the Merrimac
into the Santiago channel was also
of his own making, and all tliat he
rested and tried for the offense. He
hesitated, because he knew it could
not iossibly do him financial good,
but finally was persuaded to do so in
the hope that it would serve the pub
lic good, in that it would go to break
up the practu of highway robbery
in the Narrows of tliat county, a
thing not uncommon, but never a
prosecution.
ecoruiugly, he had two persons
arrested, who, on, trial, by some
hocus pocus of the law or otherwise,
were acquitted, the jury placing the
costs on Mr. Gcnsburg, a thing they
could legally do, we are told, but
which to our lawman mind was an
infamous outrage, and in this we
share the opinion of all our best peo
ple. Really, it looks like a premium
put upon crime. It certainly will
deter any one from bringing suit in
that court for a similar offence, es
pecially if the waylaid party i not
a resident of Uiat county, unless, of
course, the court and county com
missioners should right this great
wrong. '
Mr. Gensburg is a sober, honest,
industrious Germ an,of limited means,
doing business on borrowed capital
and credit, and no sooner was the
result of tliat suit ascertained than
