If the tail wiis the ilopr what n
shaking time Mr. Houtello and his
confroes on tho naval eonnnitteo
will have.
The Stroudshvirg Times sent out
nn illustrated edition for Christmas.
It was attractive and shows enter
prise. Speaker Rood evidently knows
how to put the mrht man in the
rigM pinve. - jnr. noTiTeilo is nt one
end of tho naval committee and Mr.
Hart at the other.
President Cleveland has dtn-ided
to issue more bomb to l-eplenish tho
Btock of gold in tho treasury. Tho
proper remedy is a tariff to raise suf
ficient revenue for current expenses.
The New York Sun says " Sus
tain the President." It must lx
calling to the Democrats, for his
patriotic message) on tho Vcnzuelnn
question was warmly endorsed by
tho Republicans, and many of tho
Democrats also.
Conohess has given tho President
authority to appoint a Vonzuelan
commission, which was what ho
nskod for. Ho will bo sustained by
his patriotic countrymon in every
effort to uphold American rights
and principles.
THE STOCK MARKETS.
Tlio past week has witnessed con
siderable flurry in tho stock markets.
The English apparently in a spirit
of spito Jiave boon rushing Ameri
can securities on tho market, and
selling them at any sacrifice. This
course gave tho stock. gamblers their
opportunity, but instead of shaving
outsiders they had to confine that op
eration to each other. Our securities
have not depreciated in actual value
one jxnny, and people who own
good securities may rest assured
that they are worth just as much
now as before tlio war talk. The
English have simply been foolish,
and it will not bo long before they
will be buying liack at an advance
the same stocks they were so eager
to sell.
It is safe for people just now to
keep out of Wall street, unless they
have money to buy good stocks and
pay for them outright.
In that case now is a good time,
but do not buy on margins.
IT BEGINS TO BUBBLE AND
SEETHE.
Although the time is some dis
tance away when the election for of
ficers to fill the numerous positions
which will bo vacant Jan. 1, 1897
takes place, yet the old adage that
time should be taken by the fore
lock appears to prevail. If a horse
is to make a good race he must lie
well groomed, and in goxl training,
and the same principle usually ap
plies to the ec.ndidato who would
make a good run for an offeo. There
are rumors that several are making
active preparations to say " tluit at
the earnest solicitation of many
friends. I hereby consent, &c. And
if elected promise, etc." This dame
rumor is a funny old jade and she
often unwittingly reveals secrets
which tho knowing ones would
wish might Ite kept, locked up until
such times as a proper incubation
warrants their revelation. Several
important offices are to he illled, in
fact nearly all in the count y,and it is
not surprising that there should be
a numlHT of worthy and aspiring
gentlemen, who would lie perfectly
willing to sacrilice their individual
interests in order to servo the dear
people and incidentally their' coun
try. If you keep your ear close to
the ground yon may hear that Mr.
Horace E. Kipp, of Palmyra, is
thinking above a whisper of how
well his portly form would grace
the Protlnmolary's chair, and how
much his health might lie benelitli'd
by a residence in this beautiful vil
lage. It is also said with bitted
breath that Mr. (leorgo A. Swcpcni
7t'i; our pleasent and obliging com
missioner's clerk feeling that possi
bly there may be some changes in
the present board, might not. he re
appointed to his present position,
and having learned the way to the
Profs oflice would not object to
hold more close and confidential re
relations therewith. As aspirants for
a seat at Harrisburg, several names
are canvassed, and it is well under
stood that some of tho gentlemen at
least have wryly consulted to have
their claims made public. Lacku
waxen, it is said, will present the
names of Miles C. Rowland and
Henry Dewitt, ex-commissioner,
while Shohola may present as her
favorite son, Esipiire Henry C.
Knealing, and Wcstfall, that of ex-
Sheriff F. A. Kessler. Down the
county it is slyly hinted that E. F,
Peters has a little bee buzzing in his
hat which may become a pronounced
hum.
For associate judges, the names of
Hon. John C. Houck, the present
incumbent, and that, of Hon. E.
Hornlcck,n former occupant of the
Ix-ncli are seriously mentioned, while
that, or Ueo. u. llorton, who m
past time haslx-en deceived by party
and personal promises, is also pro
nounced suh-rosa. When it comes
to county treasurer there are a num
her of distinguished sons who would
consent to care for lhe county funds
and lierform the onerous duties of
that ofllco for a reasonable per cent
on all money received and paid out
Some of thoso whispered about are
Geo. Dauinan, Jr.. well known to
tho citizens of this county as a whi
t . 1 j t . i ic ir n ; ..
of Matamoras, also well known as a
former dispenser of county funds,
and who at present is rather in the
position of Othello, also our genial
boniface, John C. Peck.
Well, time and space will not al
low us to recapitulate tho names of
those cautiously hinted at as possi
bly men who could bo prevailed on
to accept the oflice of county com
missioner. The present. Democratic
nioinliors may feel as if they could
hold the chairs of honor down for
ruo next three years, at f.i.fH) per
day, but thero are other weighty
individuals who aspire to tho same
arduous duty, at tho saine per diem
of course. In duo season wo will
bo glad to air their claims to rocog
nition.
