II'' aupcurs to be on the premises mere ly a guarantee t g i laitli. ea Chairman Calamity Jones lias Be vera 1 reasons for expecting a Democratic victory this year, all of which were leil over from 1896. ee Four veaas ago the people listened to Mr. Bry-1 an's calamitous predictions, and hoped that they would not prove true. Now they laugh quietly at them, ami know that they will not. Dr. Harper's contention that a man can live on fifteen cents a day would have received more, practical attention had it been made during the last Democratic administration. Kit, Willie? ea After swallowing Bryanism, Populism, Repu diation and Perfidy, the Tammany Tiger folds his j aws tenderly across his stomach and gently murmurs, ''I'll he hauged if they agree with me." 0 1 loii' irable James Jeffries offered not the slight est objection to the retirement of Colonel Robert PitzsimmoiiH from the prize ring. In this deems proved that the gray matter in his cerebellum was perfectly sound and distressingly healthy. OS Twenty-live hundred of the Smith family held a National re-union in New Jersey two weeks ago. Pressing engagements prevented Postmaster General Charles Emory and the other 17 millions from gracing the occasion with their presence, at An erstwhile office-holder, of the "calamity'' brand, such us only Kansas produces, rushes into print to deny that the late Senator John J. In galls called him a " louse." "Mr. Ingalls called me a bed-bug? be rises hastily to "demonstrate." tat Eighty-four grandchildren and sixty-six sons and daughters attended the funeral of a Mormon patriarch last week, to say nothing of the eleven weeping widows. The exhibit was a touching tribute to a strenuous lite led by the much mar ried denisens in the valley of the Great Salt sea. Philadelphia can now claim the voungest hero thit ever fell off ot a Chistmas tree. He is only eight years of age, add answers to the name of Leo Marline. lie saved his little sister from a watery grave, swimming ashore with her, a dis tance fifty yards, while the big lubbers looked on. tat In requesting Ex-Presidents Cleveland ami Harrison to serve as two of the tour American members of the International Board of Arbitra tration, provided for by the treaty negotiated at the peace conference at the f ague, President Mc Kinley certainly made a wisp, and dignified se lection. It is to lie regretted that Inith declined. tat Black-hearted and inhuman wretches, who can so far forget their duty to mankind, as to go aiiionir unfortunate victims of a tornado nnil nut offfingers and ears of corpses for the purpose of securing jewelry, can not expect to meet any oth er fate than death. The dead at Galvestou were thus robbed by colored persons, and those who were caught red-handed, or were found with fin gers and cars In their pockets, were taken out and promptly shot, and their bodies cast into the sea. The penalty was severe, but it was just. ARBITRATION WANTED fUE LABOR TROUBLES now existing in ' the anthracite conl regions between the mi ners and the operators bodes anything and every thing but good to Inith sides of the controversy. The miners are represeiite I as willing to submit their grievances to arbitration by a disinterested Ixiard, while the operators are said to be unwill ing to act in harmony with such a suggestion. One point, in which both sides seem to agree, is i that neither party wants a strike. Yea, millions of others deplore such a situation : these are mer chants, who supply the necessaries of life to the miners ; the people, who use coal for domestic and manufacturing purposes, and many others whom a strike will effect, boih directly and indirectly. To the striker, there must follow want and de privation ; to the operator, loss of millions of dol lars, and, it the strike lc prolonged, trade will turn towards the bituminous regions. If Ixitli Labor and Capital were compelled, BY law, to submit their differences for settlement to a Board of Arbitrators, strikes could not result. If the published reports are true, the miners have real grievances, which should lie adjusted. They claim that they must dig from 300 to f)00 pounds more than a gross ton, are often subjected to a reduction of 12 per cent, for poor quality, and are compelled to pay $:!. (0 per keg for pow der that costs $1.00 at wholesale, and sells for $1.50 per keg at retail elsewhere. What the operators' grievances are bus not been made known. Such a general strike works to the detriment of all. It is to be hoped that differences may vet be adjusted, before serious loss results to millions 01 people. PENNSYLVANIA LIVE STOCK fARMERSandagricultiii-ists of Pennsylvania are far better off now, at the close of Presi ident Mclvinley's administration, than they were four years ago, at the close of Mr. Cleveland's lust presidential term.

Ah, the truth cut to the quick, at times. " Rut truths on which depend our main eun' ern, That 't is our shame ana misery not to learn, Shine by the Bide of every path we tread With such a lustre that he who runs may read." Col. Bryan has dropped Moses and Naboth, and is now weeping over Absolom, who is para mount with him at present ; but neither Absolum nor Moses nor Naboth is deader than imti-iuijH - rialism, and the doughty Colonel knows it. $Ja25 for Nothing Our presses have completed printing our iSASUosnie ISO. wt ul everyimnK u JMT, I M AI1U V a.

A GOOD RECORD fHE September issue of the American News paper Directory has just been received at this office. After making a careful survey of the 4,000 newsj tapers of Pennsylvania, we find that only ten country weeklies have a lartrer cir culation for the year ending June 30, 1900, than the Middleburgh Post. In that list of ten are such weeklies as the Chester 7iWj, published in a city, really, three in Chambersburg, the Lewis burg Saturday News, and five other newspapers, all published in very large towns and very large counties. This circulation statement is backed up with an affidavit, hence, the record of the Post -being published is a small town and a comparative)- small county, with only 10 weeklies in the State out-circulating it gives it an enviable po sition, and places it in the front rank of advertis ing mediums. And the Post is still climbing up. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT N LAST week's issue of the Bellefonte Gazi tte Editor Hurler gives his opinion concerning resolutions of respect. He says: ' We have been n a committee appointed to draft resolutions if respect, and, promptly and without effort, we took a pairof Melsson. cut out the last batch of resolutions, changed the name of the deceased and added the name of the committee and the work was done. So when you ntn draft resolutions of respect, record them llrst on the minutes of the asso ciation, then write them plainly on one side of the paper, dot your i's and cross your t's, fold them up carefully, put them in an en velope and thrnti: them into Oic 8f0Pt." Do not impose upon your devoted and depart ed friend anything so cold, heartless and mean ingless as " resolutions of resect." If your friend is worthy of anything he is entitled to a hand some memorial tribute in the shape of the life of the departed, embracing birth, marriage,, descend ants or immediate relatives, also his ancestry, in brief, and his funeral. No one ever reads reso lutions ot respect, except the family, the commit tee, the printer and the proof-reader. Give the deceased a nice sketch, point out his or her good qualities, relate facts, and it will be welcomed in to the columns' ot any newspaper in the land. Newspaper space shouloVnot be wasted on res ohnmus of, respect, but', worse still, your depart ed friend is deserving of something better ome thing life-like something that shows real devo tion, instead of the thread-bare, soulless "resolu tions of respect. , Upon a former occasion The Post explained why it did not care to publish resolutions of re spect, and the question why has been frequently asked since. The Post does not publish reso lutions oi respect because its readers are entitled to something better and more creditable to them when they are dead, than mere words that have no meaning a stereotyped phraseology that has been applied to untold numbers of others. Iies olutians of respect are an eye-sore to both editor and reader, but a good obituary is always appre ciated, and will be cheerfully published in these columns, if sent in before the grass grows green on the grave of the departed one. ROOSEVELT ON BRYAN OVERNOR ROOSEVELT, in his Detroit speech, exposes in his usual forcible fashion, the shallowness of Mr. Bryan's claim to a proph et's reputation. Against the Democratic candi date's predictions in 1816 of the awful disasters that were to follow the election of Mr. McKinley. Governer Roosevelt presents, in orderly review, the events that have contributed to the unparal leled prosperity of the the past four years. Mr. Bryan's passion for the tripod of the ora cle led him to engage in a campaign ot guess making that now makes him cut a ridiculous fig ure. Quoting from the speeches, Gov. Roose velt showed how far he had gone wrong. Bryan reiterated, time and again, that should ha be beat en there could be no prosperity. There would be nothing before the people but four years more of hard times and agitation. Business conditions would be bad, and, until silver wa remonitized, the wage-worker would suffer and the mill-hand would stand on the corner and wonder when the " gold standard " would bring good times. The factories would run on half time and the farms on double time. But none of these calamitous prophesies have come true. Savings bank depositors have not lost their money, as Mr. Bryan had said they would under a Republican administration, but the thrif ty and industrious have added hundreds of mil lions to their accumulations. The opportunity for labor has increased, capital has been employed actively, manufacturers have thrived and prices have risen, and the farmers have sold their prod ucts at good prices. Governor Roosevelt could find no better line of argument to discredit Mr. Bryan's theories and promises and fallacies of today. Hj answers Bryan's alarming forecasts of wide-spread disas ter and misery, made in 1896, with the actual facts of record of the farm and factory. North American, of Philadelphia.
