MR. ANDREW CARNEGIE used a column
in the newspapers of the country to ad-
minister copious doses of “taffy” to him-
self and Frick; but he never said a word
about the blood spilled at Homestead, or
of the more recent antics of the hunger
demon at the same place.

To IMPROVE the rodds increases the

CoNGRESSMAN HARTER, of Ohio, has
evolved a scheme to save himself from
being worried to death by the. would-be
postmasters in his district. He will only
recommend those who have received a
majority of the votes of their townsmen;
at a public meeting held for the purpose.
The idea is good enough to be passed
around.
THERE seems to be a disposition to
‘“call out the troops” on very small pro-
vocations, these days. Some people are
playing with fire, and seem to torget that
soldiers have always been the main de-
pendenee of the great tyrants of the
world. Every time the militia is called
out in this country the European mon:
archists shout with ghoulish glee.
You can always judge a town and its
people by its newspaper. - Never buy
town lots or lands where a poor, half-
starved newspaper is published, News-
papers these days are a necessity, not a
luxury. They are so cheap that the
poorest man can have them-—unless he is
running a bill at the saloon. It matters
not how many city papers a man may
take, he should give an honest support to
his home paper.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Tug Chicago Inter Ocean, in an edi-
torial on the woman's vote in that city
for trustees of the state university, savs:
“The women who voted yesterday will
be ready to vote again when opportunity
offers, and to assure their stay-at-home
sisters that at the polling places a lady
is treated as courteously as in a first class
store. Election ‘day witnessed quite a
creditable beginning of the era of wom:
en suffrage in Chicago. Let us hope that
the limit of the right will be extended,
and that the number of women availing
themselves of it will be increased.”
OF course it’ is none of onr business
whether a new county is formed or not
out of parts of Allegany and Garrett
counties, Md. In fact we are not inter:
ested in the project and do not care a
straw what is dene in the matter. But if
a new countv is formed, Lounaconing, it
seems to us, has the best claims for the
county-seat. It claims a larger popula

ment that for some time past steam and
hot air have been issuing from the ground
near the Fairchance burying ground on
Green Ridge, near the Fulton county line
at Barnes’ Gap. A woman who attempted
to cross the hot spot during the cold
snap was glad to get away with scalded
legs. The phenomenon appeared unex-
pectedly and cannot be explained by any
of the residents. :
It is now high time for the Bedford
county Democratic editors to repent.
We always had an idea that hades was

NEWSPAPERS nearly always reflect the
opinions of the majority of their readers,
and as at least three-fourths of the news-
papers of the United States are opposed
to closing the gates of the World's fair
on Sunday, it is very plain that the great
majority of the people are in favor of the
great fair being open on that day. And
if the majority are in favor of Sunday
opening, that ought to settle it. © There is
nothing to compel anyone to attend the
fair on‘Sunday, and those who are too
conscientious to attend’ on that day can
stay away. The majority should rule in
matters where the minority is not coerced
into taking.a hand in any alleged wicked-
ness. About all that Sunday closing of
the World’s fair would accomplish would
be a big boom for the beer gardens and
the ‘‘soiled dove” fraternity. That being
the case, and it certainly would be the
case, what would be gained for morality ?
Why Many Editors are Skeptics.
In the following the Rev. T. D. Tal-
mage undertakes to explain why so many
newspaper men are skeptics: ‘One of
the greatest trials of the newspaper pro-
fession is that its members are compelled
to see more of the shams of the world
than any other profession. Through
every newspaper office passes day after
day all the wickedness of the world, all
vanities that want to be repaid; all the
mistakes that want to be corrected; all
the dull speakers who want te be thought
eloquent; all the meanness that wants to
get its wares noticed gratis in its editorial
columns, in order to save the tax of the
NUMBER 8.
advertising columns; all the men who
want to be set right, who were never
right; all the cracked brain philosophers
with stories as long as their hair and as
gloomy as their finger nails in mourning
because bereft of soap; all the bores who
come to stay a few minutes, but stay
hours. Through the editorial and repor-
torial rooms all the follies and shams of
the world are seen day after day. and
temptation is to bejieve neither God. man
nor woman. It is no surprise to me that
in this profession there are some skeptic-
al men: I only wonder that journalists
believe anything.”
SOME REFORMS.
Under the heading of “Old Crank’s
Serial Sermon,” published in the Sacra-
mento Record-Union, we find lots of good
hard sense. Frow a late one we clip the
following “reforms,” which are put be-
fore our readers for them to think over:
First—Abolish all oaths which are re-
quired in law, and administer legal man-
dates instead. with the same penalty for
disregard of a mandate that is fixed to
the violation of an oath. Administering
an oath is a barbarous ceremony, fit only
for a superstitions reople who lack the
common sense of civilization,
Second—Abolish all official bonds, and
also all bonds reqnired of those accused
of being criminals; because it is unjust
to require the innocent to suffer for the
guilty. Substitute legal penalties to be
borne by the guilty only.
Third—as our jury system is a flagrant
and despotic infringement on the liberties
of the people, without one redeeming
feature. abolish that, and substitute a
common sense system, from which some
benefit cath be derived. Think of the in-
consistency! In a country where free-
dom and liberty are the watchwords, law:
abiding citizens are hauled away from
their business, without having anv voice
or choice in the matter, ostensibly to
make them serve the public: and, to add
to the injustice, oaths are imposed upon
them which no conscientious man could
take without a mental substitution of
sense, which ought to—but does not—ex-
ist in the oath itself.
:- Men are made to swear to decided ac-
cording to law and the evidence produced,
when they do not know the law, and
many of whom are incompetent to separ-
ate the legally admissible from the inad-
missible evidence. The consequences are
well known. Decisions are rendered
‘which surprise common sense, and some-
times common-sense decisions are ren-
dered which surprised the lawyers, he-
cause they do not conform to the law.
Does any man who is ordinarily intel-
ligent doubt the asserpliin: that if men were
selected and elected because of their fit-
ness. for such office, instead of ‘heing
drawn bv lottery, regardless of their’ right
to liberty (of choice, at least) or fitness
for such service, justice wonld be admin-
istered more in accordance with its dic
tionary definition than it isnow?
“ My plan would be to elect two or more
justices of the peace in every township,
liable to serve as jurors whenever called
upon by the courts.
Abolish the pernicious practice of per-
mitting lawyers. to object to jurors for
frivolous reasons, but give power to the
courts to change jurors for bias, or proved
prejudice.
Abolish juries in courts when only
trivial cases are adjudicated.
Our present practice of permitting any
accused individual to require a jury often
imposes a greater punishment on law-
abiding citizens who are compelled to
serve as jurors than the law imposes on
the accustd when convigted.
The Pennsylvania exhibit at the World's
Fair will be one of the most unique that
will appear at the great exposition. The
preparation of the exhibit is under the
direction of Dr. Warren, of Chester, of
Bird Book fame, who has well under way
a representation of a mountain that will
be covered with foliage interspersed with
birds and mamals in life attitudes.” Our
two hundred and fifty species of birds
will be mounted and nearly all the kinds
of animals in the state will also be
mounted in life attitudes about the moun-
tain.—Ex.
The Commissioners of Somerset county
are after the South Penn railroad again.
Two years ago they had all the South
Penn rights-of-way in this county re-
turned as taxable for county and local
purposes. The returned valuation of the
company’s property was put at $175,000,
and the tax levied was $2,600, The of-
ficers of the railroad company, were noti-
fied of the Commissioners’ action, but
paid no attention to it. Now the Com-
missioners have determined to have ali
the South Penn's property in the county
exposed to public sale by the County
Treasurer as unseated lands.
Those merchants whose advertisements
do ~ot appear in the columns of The
Republican have not gone out of business.
They are still with us and they still have
some of the goods on their shelves they
had ‘“‘befo’ de wah.”—Qsakland Republi-
can.
