It menu to worry the TSmet and the Newt
to what price the Poeet gets fee rapporting M
Potttr. It is enough to My it is not $500. Th
readers oi the Pom know that this journal vol
unturil supported Mr. Potter six months agi
and without price.
TllERE is no occasion for the Herald to piilt
lisli the resolutions concerning the P08T ami tin
7W6tme ten years ago. The Post of 1891 and
1901 are two different beinga, as widely differ
ent as Potter is from McClure. In 1891 tin
present Editor of the Post was a student of
Bucknell University and he left his studies and
paid his fare out of his picket to come home to
Neiinsgrove to vote i'or Met 'lure in preference to
Bucher a Democrat. He did not get $500 for
the job either. He voted that way because he
wanted .1 Republican in preference to a Democrat.
Now it is different. We are not for McClur now,
because Snyder County has a candidate of her
own and one who 18 better qualified in legal in
formation than Judge McCllire. While the pres
ent editor of the POST was for McClure in 1891
lie is for Potter in HH and not for financia1
reasons either, but i'or justice to Mr. Potter and
a long due honor to Snyder County.
It is stated that fourteen of McClure adher
ents spent several hours last Thursday night in
the Prothonotary'fl office trying to upset the Post's
figures on MeClureY expensive courts, but after
using up a half dozen of the County's pencils
and several quires of the County's paper, the
chairman oi the meeting, P. S. Hitter, told the
secretary, Geo. M. Shindel, to record on the
minutes that as the figuiea were originally their
own, they could not go Irack on them. Thespec
tatots'then decided that McClure was not an
economical Judge, but the secretary failed to re
cord the vote. ...
LIBEL LEGISLATION.
THE Grady Libel bill repealer, now before
the House and State Senate at Harris
burg, to repeal the libel law of 1807 is conceived
in iniquity and is perpetrated for the purpose of
corruption. The law of 1897 is fair in every
respect. Under its provisions a newspaper dare
not attnek a private citizen and dare not say any
thing hut the truth concerning a public official
r 11 candidate for public uffiee. An honest of
cial need not fear the 18!7 libel law, buta cor
ipt official must stand in awe. Inst week Re-
esentative Cooper offered an amendment to the
irady bill, which is practically the constitution
f the State on the subject of the freedom of the
press. We regret to note that our representative
is not on record on this amendment. One paper
has Representative Smith on record against the
( iooper amendment, but Representative Smith
informed the Post that he was out making ar
rangements for a meeting of the judicial npvor
tionment committee and did not vote. He has
promised the Posi to be against the (irady bill,
and if he proposes to favor the taxpayers of Sny
ler county, he must be against the measure. Un
der the proposed libel legislat on, the press will
be muzzled and DO newspaper dare expose cor
ruption ill public oflice and the taxpayers then
will never find out how much they have liven
robbed.
In connection with this it seems strange that
Senator Pooht, a newspaper man, should favor the
repeal of a good libel law. He is certainly labor
ing under a delusion of what his constituents
want. The taxpayers want to know whether
their money is judiciously handled or used for
plunder. This timely advice is given to both
our representative and senator. A word to the
wise is sufliecnt.

Irish members and the Liberals In the
division. My motion appealed to the
Individual feelings of members. The
Radicals followed us because they had
no other course. We cannot assume
that the same spirit of general recti
tude and fairness actuates the Liberals
and the Tories, and, should we have the
chance, we will divide when the civil
list comes up and over the absurd anti
Catholic oaths required of the king at
his coronation.

speech Mr. Dillon paid it a generoua
tribute. "One might have thought,'' he
said, "that it was Lord Randolph talk
ing. There were the same Intonations,
the same lack of nervousness, the same
stinging vitality and the same sup
pressed energy. Mr. Churchill was
perfectly at home and scored a great
success. He is worthy of his American
mother. I don't agree with his opin
ions, but few men have ever made
their first appearances In this curious
assemblage under better conditions. He
knew what he had to say, and said it
well."
Mr. Churchill's speech came In reply
to Mr. David Lloyd-George's criticism
of the conduct of the South African
war, In the course of which he had de
nounced the burning of farms and the
keeping of Boer women and children la
British laagers on reduced provisions.
These charges created a general up
roar and provoked an angry demand
from Mr. Brodrlck, secretary of state
for war, that Mr. Lloyd-George should
offer evidence to substantiate his as
sertions. Mr. Churchill caught the eye
of the speaker and caustically rebuked
Mr. Lloyd-George. He Indulged in
epigram, such as "no other nation in
the world ever received so much verbal
sympathy and so little practical sup
port as the Boers."
Then he proceeded, half humorously
and half seriously, to belittle the ef
forts of the pro-Boer members of the
house In behalf of their friends. He
maintained that the war In South Af
rica had been carried on with unusual
humanity, and he closed with thedecla
ratlon of his belief that at no distant
date there would be an "anglicized,
loyal, peaceful and prosperous Trans
vaal.
