There are men of prominence in the Peinwratic
y i . who recognize that this is the proper time
to keep quiet.
The last sale of a New York Stock Exchange
scat was $r0,000. It is getting very expensive
to sit down in New York.
On rat Scott! Wha's the matter with the N.
Y. Tribune? It says we need more kickers.
We arc already a nation of kickers ami knock
ers. With Bryan pulling one way, Cleveland an
other, ami Hill still another, it is not surprising
thiil mam- Democratic editors do not know where
they are at.
Srcurtauy Long has authorised Rear Ad
miral llemev, commander of the naval forces in
the Philippines, to enlist 50(1 filipinos as firemen
the work in that climate being too hard on the
white men.
Political Drift
THE political editor of the Freebnrg Courier
has pulled out his goose Ixmeanil has gone
I at it again. e read in Ins columns as tollows:
"Even so far ahead as it would seem now, can
didates are feeling their way lor the campaign
that will only he on in the spring of 1902. The
full ticket then to he nominated is giving some of
our politicians no end ot concern you see there
will not Ik-as many holes as there are pegs. The
big thing now is to see who the "eg.s" are, rite
up their political antecedents, estimate their
strength before the people, and finally determine
how some of them may be Ride-tracked or ch ¬
um vented. A politician of some prominence,
and one whose predictions very generally mater
ialize, was heard to remark a few days ago':
The county ticket of 11102 will he made up of
entirely new men; the people are getting tired f
the old gang,'and they will soon be Sent to keep
company with that other gang who thought to
fill the offices so long as they eared to, which,
for the most part is now only a reminiscence,
fhe young element in the Republican party is
sure to assert itself, and the two-term rule is
likely to he on line of lire now mar' my words."
Whether the gentleman quoted will prove a
t'alse prophet or otherwise remains for the future
to reveal, hut it will show the current into
which political thought is drilling.

Down in Northumberland county Judge
Bavidge recently refused naturalization papers to
a foreigner who replied to a question as to who
was President of the United (States, by Baying
"Mark Ilanna." The disappointed applicant
returned with a copy of the Northumberland
County Democrat (Billy Dewart's paper) and
p tinted to the Statement in the editorial columns
as follows: "Notwithstanding 'he claim of the
Republicans, Mark Ilanna is President."

(Mr. J. T. Roth rock, Forest Commissioner
of Pennsylvania, lias prepare I a bill for the
present Pennsylvania Slate Legislature to
appropriate $2,000 to the Hydrographic Divisi
on of the United States (ieologieal Survey for
two years ln-ginning June 1st, 1001, for the
purpose of gathering data and determining the
volume and commercial value of the waters car
ried by the Delaware, Susquehanna and other im
portant streams in the State. If this bill bebomes
a law and the work is prosecuted the results
will undoubtedly be of great value to many in

the utilization of water power is necessary but
also to the cities and municipalities which draw
their water supply from the streams of the State.
