Senator Harry Alvan Hall aspires to Hucceed Walter Lyon as United States district at torney, who, It Is rumored. Is about to resign. In Hall's own mind there Is not a shadow of a doubt about his ability to fill the ofllce, while other people might doubt It just a little, yon know. So far as political lulliienco troes, there Is no doubt but that Senator Hall has tho inside track. William OiTando Smith, editor of tho Punxsutawney .S'inV and also repre senting this county as an Assembly man at HuiTisbiii'jr, defines pride as follows: "Pride Ih tho mother of all virtues. It is prido that impels tho soldier to face the Iron storms of war and die rather than show tho white feather. It Is prldo that Induces a man to strive to do his duty well in public olllco nml to keep bis record aa a private citizen (dean. It Is prldo that urtfes a man to keep the company of his self respect, l'rido is tho maker of conscience.. The man who Is without prido is in u perilous state.'' When impanel iii(f a jury at Kit tan nins: last week for tho trial of one of tho men who was Implicated In the Lioechburg murdor and hank robbery, a farmer named Knox was called and when tho Clerk of Court asked him if ho was a citizen of tho United States ho replied: "No sir, I'm a citizen of Perry township." And this in a land of free schools. We venture the assertion that IhU fellow does not take any of tho llvo newspapers published at the county seat of Armstrong, but what little roadin' ho does do is in some ulmamtc or free literature sent out by a patent med icine establishment. Will a merchant who Is wise ever ceaso to advertise? Yes whon troes ffrow upside, down, when the liegrijar wears a crown, when ice forms upon the nun, when our Johnny gets his gun, when gold dollars got to cheap, whon tho women secrets keep, when the fish forgot to swim, when old Satan sings a hymn, when tho girls go back on gum, when a small boy hates a drum, when no politician schemes, when mince pies muke pleasant dreams, when cold water makes you druuk, whou you like to smell a skunk, when the drummer has no brass, when these things come to pass, then the merchant who Is wise, may neglect to advertise. Ex. ' Whether it be the unpretentious lit tle flower, or the scenes of the moun tain wilderness; whether the glittering stars of night, or the soulful eyes of an lunocent child, there Is something at everyHurn to remind us of the possi bilities of life, and to suggest a way by which we may be instruments for doing good. But fairest of all the views about us is that of a happy home and tho af fectionate ones composing it. Men may wander away at the dictates of ambi tion, or pursue tho false promises of a gay life. Women may lament tho bur dens which domestic duties place upon them, aud long for the freedom which they believe to result from the occupa tions of their brothers. Boys may leave the parental roof for the mad pace of a city life, and girls may plunge into the giddy whirl of fashiouable society: but the heart of each will turn wistfully buck to home, and pine for the days which were days of peace indeed. THE SCHOOL QUESTION. Walter Spry Answers Citiien's Letter of Last Week. It-ply to Citizen in hist Week's STAlt, who, having such broad views on educa tion ami American Institutions nml citizenship, hits not made uihkI inn of one of the three It's he refers to or he would calculate the cost about to b placed upon tho borough by erecting two twenty thousand dollar school buildings. Two thousand dollars to tho architect, four thousand dollars to tho healing system and the purchase of sites. Tim furniture and expense of running sixteen or twenty-four rooms, also a fund to pay theso b inds as they mature, ami see if It will fall b low ten thousand dollars a year. Aro the peo ple able to pay that amount In school tax alone? Nlnly-llve per cut., or about that many tax payers, say no. While he refers to the one school building people as being of the narrow gauge, they are believers and broad minded enough to stand for the rights of the people and to grant the privilege) of building two primary buildings on the east and West ends of tho borough, bul not costing HO.ihhi or.-ii.iillO. Take the two thousand proposed to pay tho architect and the four thousand for tho heating system, and the narrow gangers all say It will build nil the school room needed in tills town for years to come. Citizen's cut limit Ion has naturally im proved upon the condition and value of the old building. He would not make a good judge, reversing himself too often. If ever tho broad gauge Citizen used frivolous argument, It Is in his comparison of tho voters with tho In fants of the town. It has been shown by ballot that of lllllthat. voted on In crease of debt HI- voted on locution. "l for old site. Since the two building matter came up of 22.1 asked there were only about 10 In favor of two buildings, upon last election day they were again consulted and still a higher percentage expressed themselves the same. While It Is admitted by all that wo need more school room, let us have tho primaries at once with the money that Is proposed to be taken nway from home, ns I said before, and I have been told by men who have tho ability of building two primary schools, that will have to help pay tho debt of tho same, that will supply Iteynoldsvlllo for 10 or l.'i years to come. We agree with Citi zen that with ordinary repairs tho old building would last for 20 or 110 years. Where did citizen get the news of pull ing down the old building or saying it Is idle talk ? I think it must be some of his own broad guage composition, as the narrow gangers he talks so much about have never thought of such dein ngoglsm or Idle talk he speaks of, for I bul love a good deal in what u prominent preacher preached in our town a few weeks since, "What a man tliinketh In his heart so is ho," and I know of no other ono that tliinketh such nonsense ns Citizen or else he would give us his name. I guess Citizen bus not meas ured tho pocket iMiok of tho majority of tax payers of this town. know that about three-fourths nro poor, hard working men and nine-tenths of tho buildings that have 1mcii erected tho past three or (our years have liccn built by mon who earn their bread by tho sweat of their brow, unci they liuvo built little homes of their own aud most of them by tlo assistance, of tho Build ing and Loan. And they are all willing to give their little ones all tho educa tion they can afford. And I say, Mr. Kditor, to bond tho lxirough unneces sarily for ."iO,l)M), when alxiut what I havo wild It would cost for a Pittsburg architect unci for heaters for saino would build two primary schools. But 1 am afraid It would put u grout check to building in tho future. Again of lute our town papers havo talked a great duul about ustublishing a board of trade 1 would ask or Citizen what encourage ment would it lie to induce any indus try to come Into a place, that is swamped with forty or fifty thousand dollars school tuxes? I think if Citizen was one of those looking for a location he would drop his stakes some where bet tor. Again I can suy that niiio-tcnths or more of the tax puxcrs of the east end of town, If we have to got a modern school, that the site already located is the last placo the narrow gaugors would choose. To think of tho Idea of build ing a school next door neighbor to Tom Itcynnlds' hog pen and manure heap, and just about UK) feet from the It. & V. C. It. It. and weigh cabin where thoy are weighing coal six hours a day at least, thoro is the clinking of couplings, the smoke of tho locomotives, tho whis tling of the same, and the worst of all it Is nothing but a swamp all tho year around. I would like to ask Citizen if we narrow guage demagogues have any reason for kicking of having erected a $20,000 school in such a place as that and after about two or three years at least our east end modern school will look just like an old abandoned found ery. I guess Mr. Citizen, whoever he Is, would bo the first to kick of sending his children to such a place for educa tion as that. So now, Mr. Citizon, I have tried to voice the sentiments of about ninety-five per cent, of tho votors of Iteynoldsvlllo In my weak way, but we do say first and last, give us all the school room needed at once.
