KKAiibV, we must stop setting a bad example to France. Here is General Meroier already culling his victim a "liar." Thk witnesses who testified that the army beef was good are safe. Miles does not substitute bad names for arguments. Army engineers say the defenses of New York and Boston harbor are now equal to any in the wprld. The country Is getting in good shape for a long term of peace. WHEN the German customs author ities are satisfied with a reasonable inspection of America!) meat the people of this country will have more faith iu Germany's protests of friend ship. It is said that lawyers who address the United States supreme court at tired in gaudy clothes are not likely to please the court. There is some good sense in that, because the most august tribunal in the world does not wish to have its attention distracted by the pattern of the checks in a coat or the gorgeousness of a cravat. Onk hundred years ago the type writer, the saleslady, the lineman, the engineer, the fireman, the motor man, the gripman, the telegraph operator, jL'e-"ietertftC"e girl, the Jbltlifetuati. the electrician, the ele vator boy and a long list of other oc cupations did not exist, ft is not ofterurealized by labor that modern conditions have multiplied occupa tions and trades to a dpgree greater than any other increase of the nine teenth century. "WHEN a man has become bankrupt he is sometimes able, by selling what property he has and making, favor able arrangements with his creditors, to start over again, and perhaps to make a .fortune. Spain is bankrupt now, but it is said that she wishps to sell her Pacific islands and confine her efforts hereafter to home govern ment. If she will do so, and will throw aside her traditional policy of tyranny to the masses and illiberal conservatism among the Glasses, she may yet become prosperous and re spected among the nations. THtt loss incurred through the death of Representative Pingley will scarcely be appreciated by the country at once ; the present session of Congress not being culled upon es pecially to deal with tariff matters. But in the rjyar future there must be some measure of revision, or at least readjustment, which will require the guiding hand of extreme economic wisdom, and then Nelson Dingley will be sorely missed. For many years this sterling patriot, ploding, conscientious and always reliable, rendered most efficient service as a member of the Ways and Means Committee, before he became Chair man, and no one wag more useful to the House, the Republican party and the country. Thk Toronto World is respectfully assured that the United States has no wish to annex Canada, except with Canada's consent. There is a large body of people in this" country that does not wish to see Canada annexed at all, bat the majority would favor a union amicably arranged, witli the full consent of Great Britain, though opposed to any kind of forcible action It is believed that the union of the two countries would be for the benefit of both, but that we are doing well enough as it is, and if Canada does not wish to better her condition, or does not think she could do it in that way, she does not have to. Uncle Sam and Canada, -being usually rep resented as masculine and feminine figures, It may help to make his posi tion clear to say that, If she doeo not care to marry him, she can be a sister to him as long as she chooses.

DOYLE. Till Young Man Who Will Help Mr.Mo.wr to Moor tho Oeiiiiieratlc Ship. Wo here give a fair picture of John 12. Doyle, who is well known by mmy of our renders, and who was on Saturday eleited Stctetury of tho Schuylkill County Democ racy Mr. Doyle is n hatie of '"n-,, town ship, thic rou n ty, and by bis bright 'talents and genial sunny disposition has won tbo high esteem and position which aro his to day. Ho is thought to bo the " Eagle Eye " of tho Pottsvllle Ilepublioiiu, and ns such is more universally read by both sexes than any other contributor iu the Anthracite coal region Mr. Doyle has been successful in six hard fonght political battles, never was defeated, and ftfter Saturday's contest bo may bo re garded as invincible. He was iwico elected auditor of Shenandoah, and win tlio first to change tin- board from Ik-publican to Demo cratic. Tho second time he was a caudidato for tbo same position against Thomas Sanger, a most popular and highly esteemed young man in fact the strongest representative .that tho Republican party of town could put forth. This was at a time when tbo School Board and Council wore Republican. Too contest between the two young oaudidiites was honorable and very spirited not for the salary of tbo position, but for tbo glorv of victory. There wero more than 3,OriO votes east, and Doyle won by 2J A sirance mat ter connected with that campaign W tlio fact that Doyle uud Singer were nevor acquaint ed, uevec mot each other iu their canvass "or socially, nor havo they, been -riTiroduced to each other overf unto this day. Ono can hardly believe that such could occur in a Lt&WH so small as Shenandoah. Perhaps this political incident has no .similarity iu the United States. Next the subject of our sketch appeared before tho Democratic county convention for County Auditor. It was on this occasion that ho broke the record in the history of politics in Schuylkill county by putting three men from the ono town on the sumo ticket. George Folmer was nominated for JOHN E. DOYLE. County Treasurer, and P. J. Mtflbolland for Controller. Tho delegates began to feel that Shenandoah bad enough when it was given tbe two largist offices, and consequently turned their attention to distributing tbe rest of the favors throughout other parts of tbe county. Doyle and his friends bad to meet and overcome this seutimeut, and after a lively contest iu which seven .candidates figured John E., tbe third '-henaudoali man, whs again successfully lauded, lie and M. J. Fogarty, of 1'ort Carbon, being tbe two win ners. Owing to tbe anti-Shenandoak senti ment Fogarty led Doyle 3,490 iu the conven tion, but when election day rolled around tbe latter led tho former by 219 votes at tbe polls. But the end was not yet. When Mwsrs. Samuels, Jeukyn and Doyle, the three elect ed County Auditors, applied for their pusi tions on court bouse bill tbey were Uild there were none for them as the election of a Con trol lor dispensed with the office of County Auditor. Judge Weidiuati officially . sus tained tids sentiaint and ousted tbe three Auditors. But Doyle wm a lighter and dkl not let tbe matter drop here. He sought hieber Authority. So he called bit Shenan doah brother typos together from tbo vari ous offices, and tbey printed a book of appeal by Lawyer Wilbelm to tbe Supreme Court who iu due time reversed Judge Weinman, ousted tbe Controller and installed tbe three Auditor. We next hear of John in Cass township bis native heath where be decided to have a little fun with tbe boy by splitting tbe Democratic tnrty In the township eleotlou So be put new life into attain by organising an Independent free silver club to oppose the buses of that township who for years were getting all the spoil.

Best Understands a Woman's Ills served him well in bis great contest on Sat urday for County Secretary in Pottsvllle where the political bosses failed to turn him down. He is a staunch favorito with tho workiugmen ; his speeches and writings have captivated tbeni, and had all the labor dole- gatos beon present (who could not well afford to attend) John's majority would only bo a matter of figures. The fact is that Mr. Doyle is in closer touch with tho inassos than any otbet man we know of before the public, and if his star keeps on asceudiug wo would not bo surprised to see him represent this dis trict in Congress at no distant day. Ho is well kuown.in all parts of tho county, is a bustler, shaper, speechmakor and writer, and this is why the Herald said a few days ago that it ho wero elected County Secretary of tbo Democratic party be would glvo tho He publican managers lots of trouble. This may seem fulsome praise for the subject of our sketch, but it Is every word truth. Mr. Doylo is now solo agent for the an thracite coal region selling an extraordinary book entitled, "Rov.
