IIKKENT COMMENT.
Mi:. Uuyan's sneers ;it (lit-full (litmer nii will
not efface the memory f tin workingtnan.
The Hon. George Knd Williams deolioea to
permil some of the gold Democrats to return to
the party.
Mi:. Bryan will omit all allusions to the Tam
many Lee Trust during his campaign tour of
New York.
In Ohio the Democratic campaign is looked
upon BE a good joke. But .Mr. Bryan and Chair
man Jones take it seriously enough when they
lay claim to that state.
CURRENCY is now going West and South to
move the crops. Never before did it have such
a job nf moving to perform.
Mr. Bryan perched on an automobile and
making hard-luck spetches is a spectacle calcu
lated to add to the hilarity of the situation.
Senator Wellington goes away from home
to do his campaigning. By this move he manages
to escape some of the wrath of his constituents.
Till", consumers who will have to pay more for
their coal will not have a vast amont of admira
tion for the gentlemen who arranged the strike.
ONE of the "attractions" at the Centre County
fair will lc a live bird shoot. Why shall inno
cent birds lie made the victims of sjort to lie
bruised and mangled?
Mr. Bryan goes to a great deal of unnecessary
trouble when he denies the rumors concerning
the construction of his Cabinet. But then Mr.
Bryan is a professional trouble hunter.
The Hon. Job Bailey has not raised any
...a 11.. . .. ...
constitutional oojeoiions to governmental aid to
Galveston sufferers. Has the gentleman from
Texas resigned his chaperonage of the constitu
tion? I'm: anthracite coal miners' strike is still on.
The operators offered a ten per cent advance in
wages, but the miners have spurned it. This act
of the miners has lost to them a large portion ot
public sympathy.
During the Spanish war the Flag was worn
and flown by all patriotic Amerk-an. Ixit them
wear and fly it now to show they intend to up
hold the administration in keeping the fruits of
the war with Spain.
Mr. QARMAN has made a political forecast
T was noou hour in the workshop ;
The emptied pails were closed,
And tbete a toiler smoked a pipe,
And here a toiler dosed.
Thus sjwke the workshop scholar
Unto his comrades : "Men,
We've had good times since Bill's leen in:
Ijct Bill go in again.
"This Bryan is a scholar
And heavy in his jaw,
And every won! fie let's us hear
Is just as clear as law ;
But though, he has our sympathy,
We'll run no chances, men :
We've had good times since Bill's been in.
Let Bill go in again.
" We've taters in our cellar,
And in our ice-box meat:
Four years ago we scarcely had
Enough of bread to eat.
We're working now, and growing fat,
Have lager now and then;
We've had good times since Bill's been in;
Let Bill go in again." X. V. Sun.
A HEW DEPARTURE
TICKING the past month the office of the
- Post has received large invoices of new
and fashionable types, rules, borders and other
necessary adjuncts for turning out books, Ixtok
lets, and commercial printing equal, if not supe
rior, to the best equipped city offices.
Hereafter we will make a specialty of IxMiklct
and magazine work, and all other printed matter
used by Schools, Colleges and Universities.
This will embnice Catalog, Circular, and all
classes of College Literature and Stationery, in
cluding Half Tone, Photogravure, Embossing
and Chromatic Printing, of every kind and des
cription, and the finest that can be done.
Half Tone and other Engravings for all class
es of printing will be made and furnished every
patron of the Post Printing Establishment at -
tual coxt to m, and this means a great saving, as
our large orders secure considerable reductions
in prices, and the liest class of work.
There are many reasons why first-class print
can be done for less money in small towns than
in large cities, (more satisfactorily, too,) among
which are these:
1 . Bents are lower.
2. Insurance is lighter.
3. Skilled labor is cheaper.
4. The cost of living is less.
5. I taw material costs no more.
All these facts have been satisfactorily demon
strated in the operation of the shoe factory, the
shirt factory, the knitting mill, and other impor
tant industries, which have gradually crept away
from the great commercial centres, within the
last decade, and found homes in the rural dis

Life there is but one question to the logical muni and that
Is, ''The Truth of the Matter." Wltat is it? Itsecrus
strange that, to so many minds, the thought of man's close n In

a matter of fAc! Iwyoutt controversy, the lowest t ! of men are
closer to the highest apes than to the highest types of men.
The Rev. !lenry MrCook. nn eminent Philadelphia clergy
man, has recently declared, in the pulpit, his belief that our do- .

most radh-al step yet taken toward bridging the gap btftwam the '
theory of evolution and the primitive conceptionsof the "Child

When we consider that, at certain stage of our individual
existences, we ate physically, so far as can Im' dlneerned. ldentl- ;

repugnance, should vanish and give way to reason. Allow me
to quote from "The Story of Creation." by Kdward Clodd, V. K. 1

used it for years. My brother was a

the cause of it, and told us to use

fell into a well near the house. The ap.
paratus for drawing the water was two
buckets attached) to either end' ot ,
chain passed over a wheel made fart
above the well. The well was SS feet
deep.
Miss Thompson volunteered to de
scend on a ladder attached to one end
of the chain in place of a bucket, and
her parente agreed to lower her Into
the well. The lowering process w,
successfully performed, but when Mr.
and Mrs. Thompson began drawing the
young lady and her dog, which she had
secured, to the surface, the fixture at
the top of the well collapsed, precipl.
tating her Into the chilling water. She
held on to the ladder and dog, however,
and, the ladder being of auflicient
length to keep her head above water,
she remained on It until rescuers sr.
rived IV, hours later.
The fixture as it went down narrow,

to arrive on the scene. When a suffi
cient number were congregated Jacob
Link was lowered into the well and
placed a rope around Miss Thompson,
and she waa safely drawn out. The dog
waa also saved, but the young lady
fainted after reaching the surface, and
the assistance of a physician was nec
