The taxpayers )f Wayne county are
anxiously nwiilliiig your answer to
Uio clmrno mndo by this paper that
you knowingly mid deliberately over-
rhnrKcd and collected from the coun
ty treasurer nearly 400 per cent,
more for printing ballots than you
should havo done. This Is a herlous
innttcr, Mr. Haines, and one that the
Grand Jury inny take Into consldeni

Your ln.st Issue was more like the

The beautiful should exist in tho
school life of the child. The school
building nnd grounds should portray
the artistic and beautiful. Those
things which adorn the tasty home
should embellish the school prop
erty the lawn, terraces, walks, trees
and flowers. Within should be neat
ness and refinement. A neglected
school house is a terrible demorali
zer. Pjnce a child nt a mutilated
desk, put in his hands torn and soil
ed books and we find an almost ir
resistible temptation to continue the
destruction with knife and pencil
Place the same child in a neat, clean
room with suitable and beautiful
furniture and we Immediately re
move the temptation for destruction
Xo place else on the globe will
you find as big-hearted, generous and
noble people as reside in Wayne
county. They are not much on dress
parade. They do not wear silk stock
Ings and silk hats but they have
hearts' as big and warm as ever put
sated in human breasts.
Editor Haines went to a great deal
of trouble to write the article, "Over

order to KNOCK the ARMORY
WHICH COMPANY E is trying to
obtain from the State, and yet he
blows about his great fidelity to
Honesdale and her Interests.
It has fallen to tho lot of the
writer to travel up and down this

said that no town of equal size has
yet been found that equals our own

K1XG GEORGE SPAXKED ItY A
CADET.
King George Is the second son of
the late king and until the death of
his brother, the duke of Clarence,
was dwarfed by the latter. When
he was 14 years old he began a tour
of the world. He and the -duke of
Clarence were regularly enrolled as
cadets in the training ship Britannia
and were accorded no special favors.
On one occasion, when called to
stand watch he struck a cadet who
had awakened him, blackening his
eye. For this he was court-martialed,
found guilty and sentenced
to be spanked by the cadet with
whom he had the trouble. This was
done, first in the Britannia and later mire

chunks hacked out of its body and
scales and claws littering up the

that the milk the beast gave, when
properly coaxed, nourished lite un
der the. subscription tree, having a
beneficial Influence on that delicate,
plant, as no gory fertilizer coujd
ever produce.
The editorial cited at the begin
ning of these lines leaves the im
pression that the hero-editor wishes
to withdraw quietly from the center
of the stage, and the limelight, blam
ing a "mystery to which there is a
secret key" for the debris of the bat
tle, stench and all. This attitude
is certainly undignified for an editor,
especially a portly one. We all ad-

The statement In the last Issue o
the Independent that somebody had
remarked that the editor of that
paper "ought to bo driven out of
town," Is not only possibly, but
probably true, as a large number
of the people of Honesdale and
vicinity have no doubt expressed
themselves time and time again to
this same effect. It is said that "his
tory repeats Itself."
Now that ladles aro so generally
employed as stenographers and type
writer operators, the columns of
newspapers are burdened with coarse
attempts at humor, in which tho
pretty amanuensis and her alleged
flirtations with tho business men are
tho inspiring theme. Perhaps these
Jokes, on account of their Insipid

The two princes traveled 45,000
miles. Following the educational
tour, Prince George was appointed
a lieutenant in the navy. In 1890
he was made commander of a gun
boat and in 1892 was made a post
captain and given tho title of duke
of York. While a lieutenant on the
Thunderer In the Mediterranean,
Prince George met tho daughter of a
naval officer with whom it ls general
ly bellovod ho contracted a mar
riage. Although solemnized by an
ordained clergyman, It was not legal
as she was not of royal blood. Little
notice was taken of tho episode until
after the death of the duke of
Clarence. Then by command of
Queen Victoria, Prince George aban-i
doned his Malta spouse and was.
wedded to Mary of Teck, who had
been betrothed to his brother. She
was born May 2G, 18G7. She ls her
husband's cousin, both on her fa
