AlX ia not lost. The Detnoonta have carried
Arizona. The territorial delegate is named Smith.
EdITOB LuMBaRD was so happy last week
over the result of the election that he forgot to
take the list of candidates from the Tribune's
mast-head.
The Republican victories made even the
wheat look better anil the landslide has taken
the stones and cherry seeds off the public roads
of Snyder county.
THE stay-at-home Republican vote in Snyder
county was a great deal larger last Tuesday than
it should have been. The Dumber of persons
both Democrats and Republicans who failed to
vote in Snyder county reached 687.
Snyder county Republicans swallowed their
cherries last Tuesday, worms and all. The
Lewisburg people got the cherries and Snyder
county people got their money. That is all
they wanted. What is the difference? Now
let's all shake the cherry tree.
A CONVKNANT was signed at Washington,
whereby Spain cedes the islands of Cagayan and
Sibutu to the United States for the sum of $100,
000. These were Spain's last possession in )cean
ica. The islands are of the Philippine group, lut
Were unintentionally left outside the line drawn by
the Treaty of Paris.
Tin: advocates of " and- imperialism," who set
great store, politically, by the act of participation
in their behalf of Carl Schtirz, Gamaliel Bradford
and Samuel Bowles, profess much discouragment
over the result of the balloting on the Presidency,
and appear generally to have come to the reluctant
conclusion that the flag must fly.
Tin: last disappering political rainbows fell be
hind the Osage Hills in Arkansas and disclosed
James K. Jones still reluctant to admit the de
feat of candidate Bryan, whose campaign he was
described as "managing "as chairman of the Dem
ocratic National Committee. The term of Senator
Jones m the United States Senate does DO texpire
intill the 4th of "'. ' 1903.
It is understood in Washington that the Ad
minstration accepts the results of the elections as
an endorsement of its policy with regard to the
Philippines, and that accordingly st'ps will he
taken at once to inaugurate a vigorous campaign
against the insurgents. General MeArthur, it is
said, has been ordered to concentrate his troops for
a hard ami telling blow against the rebel-;.
Heavy lighting took place near Bothvillein
the Transvaal, resulting in the complete rout of
the Boers, who look to fight after loosing 23 killed,
30 wounded and 100 taken prisoner. Seven of
their guns were also captured. The British lost
three officers and four men killed. Lord Roberts
also reports an engagement south of Dalamutha,
which resulted in the Boers being routed.
TlIE cheapness of living in Australia is pro
verbial ; it is a veritable poor man's paradise. In
the butchers' shops you see two-penny and four
penny tickets on the meat, and provisions of lo
cal productions are equally inexpensive. In the
eating houses or coffee shops a great feature of
town life there you can get a Square meal, con
sisting of a steak or chop, bread, butter and tea,
for sixpence. There are no tips for waiters in the
Antipodes. The ( 'olonials are enormous tea drink
ers, and on an average partake; of the cheering
herb seven times a day. Boarding honses an
other prominent feature are rendered almost es
sential in a land where the domestic servants com
mand a wage of a pound a week, with every eve
ning out and leave to practice the piano and keep
a bicycle.
POR NEARLY two months past the Post
has made additions to its look and job de
partment in the shape of new material, and on
Tuesday last an order was placed with the Key
stone Type Foundry, of Philadelphia, for enough
new goods to equip a first-class book and job of
fice in any city ; this leing in addition to the no
mean stock already on hand.
These supplementary additions embrace large
fonts of body and display type of the latest and
most fashionable creations faces that cannot fail
to attract and please the coiinisseur in brochure,
folder, book, booklet and magazine printing, and
the Post's typographic artists have the rare gift
of assembling and arranging them so as obtain
the best effects known to the art of printerdom.
Our preparations for both plain and colored
embossing are about completed, and within a few
days we will be enabled to display specimens infe
rior to none produced in this country. We pro
pose to turn out all the better grades of commer
cial printing that has heretofore found its way to
to the larger cities. No job is too large or too
small to claim our prompt and beat attention.
Specimens and estimates for the asking.
A. W. POTTER FOR JUDGE
I HE last toot of the recent election has not
yet wholly diet! out and the election for
Judge a year hence is beginning to make the
tongues wag. It is none too early to discuss the
situation, though it is too early to presage the
lay of the field. We observe that Hon. S. H.
Orwig of Lewisburg has announced himself a
candidate for re-election.
Snyder county has a loyal Republican son
whose name has often been mentioned in connec
tion with this position. We refer to A. W. Pot
ter, Esq., of Selinsgrove. The Republicans of
Snyder county seem to be a unit for this legal
light from Snyder's metropolis. There is noth
ing against the present incumleiit, hut it is soon
time for Snyder county to get a judge and the
way to do it is to demand it.
THE VOTE COMPARED
IT IS INTERESTING to make comparisons.
Hence we give Inflow the vote cast in each
district of Snyder county for McKinley and Bry
an in 1896 and 1900.

KRISTOS
MYSTIC MASONRY
With the bigoted sectarian and the modern ma
terialist, the universal and unqualified Brotherhood
of Man is a dead totter, for the tintt believes that only
hlmt-elf and a few chosen associates can be saved.
For the second, the materialist, the recognition of
the Supreme Architect of the Universe as the Prin
ciple nf Principles, and belief in the Immortality of
the Soul, will prove an equal stumbling block. For
tunately, the number of bigoted sectarians and the
otit-nnd-out materialists is few.
The rapentruoture known as Christianity has, it
Is true, many historical phases; of dogmas the most
contradictory; of doctrines promulgated in one age,
and enforced with viee-regal authority, and severe
penalties for denial and disbelief, only to be den let!
and repudiated as "damnable heresy" in another age.
In the meantime, the origin of these doctrines and
the personality Of the Man of Sorrows around which
these traditions cluster receive no adequate support
from authentic history. What, then, shall we con
elude regarding the real genius of ( 'lirislianity ? Is It
it all a fable, put forth and kept alive by designing
men, to support their pretensions to authority? Are
historical (acts and personal biography alone entitled
to credit ? while everlasting principles, Divine Be
nlfloenoe, and thelaylngdown of one's life for anoth
er are of no account? Is that Which has inspired the
hope and brightened the lives of the downtrodden
and despairing forages a mere fancy, a designing lie?
Tear every shred of history from the life of the
Christ! today, and prove, beyond all controversy that
he never existed, and Humanity, from its heart of

It will le oliserved that McKinley's majority

This is due mostly tostay-at-heme Republicans.

THE WORLD'S WORK
"I thought it about time for somebody to
start a new magazine," remarked a famous A
merican author when he was told of a new
monthly to he launched October 20th by Don
bleday, Page it Co., of New York. The fact is,
though, "The World's Work" as its name indi
cates, is radically different from the ephemeral
ventures so plentiful of late years, it is found
ed on an idea and one that appeals to every man
and woman who works, while the men were for
four years editing and managing in various ca
pacities several of the most successful magazines
of the day. Now they are to see if they cannot
make as good a magazine for themselves as they
have helped in the past to make for other people.
"The World's Work is a first-hand magazine
of human progress, dealing with the vital ques
tions of contemporaneous interest in a thought
ful yet frank and incisive way. It considers
conditions not theories, facts, not fancies, believ
ing that our OWD time and country are good to
live in, and that "the best is yet to be." Ic is a
necessary magazine for the men who do things.

The great Trans-Siberian Railway, described
by Henry Norman in his series on "Russia of
To-day," leads the November number of Scr?6
ner,8 Magazine. This railway is the commercial
and political key to the Far East and Mr. Nor
man traveled its entire length so far as complet
ed, to Lake Baikal and beyond. He describes
the wonderful industrial possibilities of the coun
try through which he passed and gives an en
tirely new idea of Siberia. Instead of a desert
it promises to be the leading wheat-producing
country in the world, and the railway opens up
immense mineral possibilities. Mr. Norman
says that since the great wall of China the world
has seen no one material undertaking of equal
magnitude. The cost of this railway will be
about $500,000,000 and its total length 5,486
miles. Illustrated throughout with the author's
photographs.
Pennsylvania ought to fly pretty high in
