THE STJEEST EOAD TO WEALTH IS THBOUGH LIBEEAL ADVEETISI1TG
The Philadelphia Evening Star
commenting ou the reforms proposed
by tho Republicans who signed tho
Quay petition says: The Slar coui
jnends these reform movemotits, and
fl tendencies towards cbucgo as in
Ulcatlve of a bettes day, bo fur as tbey
antagonize n wretched system, But
let the war over bo ugulnst the system.
Nothing will ba (joined by Republican
1 movements becoming kindergartens
' for budding Democrats. There is no
real reform in a Republican mutiny
which places such a ninn ab Secretary
" Harrlty In a position where every Re
publican, however earnest tind faithful
In hia service to the public, is sent to
the guillotine. Governor Fattlsou,
honest as ho Is, and who knew every
thing about the finances of Philadel
phia, nover knew that Bardsley had
captured the state money until Mayor
Stuart Informed him. And yet I'ntti
eou had had three months' start of
Stuart in his executive opportunities
forflndlngout. The reason is obvious.
, The Governor, a reformer at the polls,
! ijkji ablo Democratic politician In of
k 'W. industriously manufacturing
Presidential booms. Any promaturo
interference with political lluancea in
Fhlladelpbia would have pressed
heavily upon his friends, his business
J assosiates, perhaps his own bank.
t Wherein do we llud the definite pub-
Uo gain from the creation of Pattioon ?
And yet Pattison,of all the Democratic
ducks ever lintched under a Republi
can hen, was the most promising.
What an opportunity ho had 1 What
J might he not have done for the statu !
S What a royal endowment in the unl
i versal confidence of tho people 1 But
? this representative, typical Governor,
jjj now that we have him in fruition
?' what is he? A Democratic aspirant
tfor tho Presidency; the veto power,
jjuiumig$u, trjicuutivu uiiuiuuuu mm
authority all concentrated upon the at-
tjiinmnni; nf ri Miinrpmn tiprnntint nm.
I. '.-iSfru. This outcome of one famous
JlWiical boom for reform should make
us chary In nourishing another."

DARING JOBBERS,
PAUL SUMM A BOBB 3D BY DES
PERATE MEN.
THEY BLEW A SAFE DOOR OFF
And Thon Fired Sovon Shots at
Mr. SummaWho Attomptod to
Intorforo With Thorn A Dar
ing Orimo Enacted.
A daring burglary wa perpetrated by
desporato men in Paul Summa's houso on
South Main streot at an early hour this
morning.
At about two o'clock this morning Mr.
Sumnia retired to his sleeping apartments
aftor securing all tho doors of his bar-room
and dwolling apartmonts. About an hour
Inter Mr. and Mrs. Summa woro nroused
from their slumber by tao report of n
smot'uorod explosion, followod by tho
sound of a heavy woight falling upon tho
floor of ono of tho apartments below.
Mr. Summn sprang from his bed and
opened tho door botwoon his bed-room and
tho hallway with tho intontion of descend
ing to tho floir below to asoarlain tho
causo of tho disturbance, but as ho stepped
from tho room a voico at the bottom of tho
stairway warned him, "Don't you como
down here, you , or I'll blow
your d d head off."
Surama hurried back into his bed-room
and at tho samo moment tho party nt tho
foot of tho stairway commoncod firing.
Seven revolver shots wero flr6d in rapid
succession. Six ploughod thoir way into
tho wall at tho Bido of tho stairway on
which !Mr. Humma's bod-room is located,
tearing tho paper and plastering. Another
shot lodged in tho ceiling of tho stairway,
just abovo whoro Mr. Summa stood whin
ho was warned to rotroat.
Tho dosporato inothod of tho burglars
paralyzed Mr. Surama for tho timo and
Mrs. Suinma went into hystorics. But after
tho firing coasod boardors in tho liouto de
scended tho stairway to tho dining-room on
the first floor. Tho room was fillod with
powdor smoko and dust. Tho burglars had
disappeared.
Whon tho smoko cloarod away tho largo
safe which wa3 in tho room was found
standing about threo feet from the wall
against which it stood when Mr. Summa
retired to his sleeping apartment. The
door of tho safo had been blown off and
was lying on tho floor and against tho op
posite wall. Papers and pieces of gold and
silver that had boon in tho safo woro strown
about tho floor. And under tho sslo was
found a bag and pockolbaok containing
$000 in paper, gold and silvor, but $200 in
cash and 307 worth of watches and other
jewelry woro missing.
An examination of tho promisos showed
that tho burglars had outercd through a
window of the kitchen at tho rear of the
dining-room. Tho-window e&sh was re
moved alter a part of tho outer casing had
been torn off, The burglars then drilled a
holo through tho top of tho safe, poured in
and ignited tho powdor and blow tho door
clean from its fastonings. It was a bung
ling job, such as would no doubt make pro
fessional safe burglars smilo. A picco of
tallow candlo about an Inch and a half
long and a minor's hatchet and tho bullets
in tho stairway wero tho only things the
desperate men loft behind.
Tho flndingof tho fOOO is oasily ex
plained. Whon tho safo was blown opon
the heavy chargo scattered all tho contents
of tho safe. Tho heavy bag and pocket
book dropped to tho floor and tho safe, by
force of tho concussion, shot forward and
covered them, so that they' escaped the
notlco of the burglars.
It is sup)Hsod that whllo tho follow stood
at tho bottom of tho stairway threatening
Summa and firing shots his companions
were ongaged in gathering tho plundor
and making thoir escape.
It is bollovod that throe- or more men
wcro implicated in tho daring business.
Ono of Summa's boardors says ho saw two
running away from tho houso.
"Whatever the numbor may have boon,
the Indications aro that tho burglars weru
town parties, that they ware well acquainted
with tho premises and kopt a close watch
upon Mr. Summa's movements.
Mr. Summa says thai ho could n.'t rocug
nizo tho features of tho man who stood at
the bottom of tho ttnlrway, as tho light be
low wai very dim ; nd he did not recog
ntao tho vo!c. He list no suspicion as to
who tho parties were.
On tho night of 3iit,duy, June 28th, nn
attempt was made to get Into tho homo by
forohiK open the kitchen door, but the
burglars wro frltddened oil'
lira. Summa U prostrated by tho shock
she rooeivud.

tho proporty you own to-day in the busi

Thoro is no bettor location in tho Union
for a factory of this sort than right hero in
Shenandoah, and tho ostablishmont of
such an industry, on an enlarged plan,
would be suro to attract other kindred in

grow and would conlinuo on in tho sumo
direction to long as there wai organization
and effort behind tho movement. You
can't ojt your gingerbread and keep it,
noithcr oin you reap without first having
sown. To raise a crop you must invost in
seed, and to increase the value of your
roal estate you will havo to invost in some
thing that will grow nnd creato a demand
for what you havo to rent or sell. It is the
law of supply and demand ; some may
manage to harvest a orop on the strength
of their neighbor's seed, hut that sort of
policy never yot scored a success and nover
