A.. P o VOL. o o. MILEOlil), PIKE COUNTY, PA., Fill DAY, DECEMHEU 17, 181)7. W. 7. Pike ress ) Tike County l'cople Grossly Misrepresented. Falftoly Arctmed of Milking the Orcntlnn ft x Holiday, and a Gala Event Senatlnnal and unfounded Rtorle of tlu-lr llehav Inr. Certain newspapers which cliiitn fur themselves nt least a modicum of truthfulness and reliability in the news thoy print, published accounts during the past fow days of the Schultz execution. In display head linos it was announced as a gala day in Pike county nnd that hundreds of the populace flocked to tho scone of execution. That farmers with their wives, children nnd hired help cama into town in vehicles of every description, nnd that tho semio re sembled a County Fair. It wns stated that tho grounds outside were dense with people nnd when the HherilT called on the multitude to look at the lifeless features a grand rush was made anil that men tmd women pushed eacli other until nil had seen the body. In an editorial the New York Journal says medieval darkness seems still to pervade the county, nnd that the hanging wa.i made an occasion for exciting a mor bid curiosity, a barbarism which lingors only in these vglds and other regions not yet redeemed from heathen darkness. On the conduct of the officials il is not our purpose nt present to comment. Thoy nre able, if they bo desire, to contradict or deny such assertions roirdinu: them as have been made which are not truthful. We do now protest however against the misstatements made in regard to the conduct of the people of Pike county. Every respectable citizen of Milford can nnd will truthfully say that there was no crowd what ever. Outside the number invited to witness the execution' including tho oifleials, doctors nnd jury, about one hundred in all, n number of them came from New York state nnd New Jersey, there were not nt nny time fifty people on tho square or n round the jail. It is false to say thnt there was anything like a holiday appear ance, or that farmers with their families poured into town. A few men, and we think we speak within the bounds of truth when we say not more than thirty, gathered outside in little groups, nnd stood si ently, or, if thoy spoke, did so in low tones nnd without any levity whatevor. Every one seomod duly impressed with the solemnity of the occasion, nnd behaved in a perfectly decorous manner. Thnt the New York newspaper dispatches should totally misrepre sent the facts and malign tho citizens of this county is not to be wondered at. They hounded us at the begin ning, called our county a paradise for murderers nnd used every effort to convict Schultz in ndvnnce of his trial. They boasted that it was through their enterprise in securing evidenco nnd their urging that our officials wero goaded into notion, and that they hud crented a public sentiment which secured conviction. They patronized our people, nnd sold their papers. They hnd opened our eyes to tho enormity of our sins of omission in allowing murderers to escape justice and we were through the influonco of their enlightened teachings re lizing our benighted condition. The people here, at least some of thorn have been buying and reading nud believing in those same papers ever ninoo, and if their present accounts of the behavior of their readers is true, we submit what effect this up-to-date journalism has on the minds and morals of the class of people they number among their readers. "Vipers whose treacherous fangs, ' Smite the hands that feel them." The doors of tho Jail were left open after tho witnesses lmd left the room, and a number of people did pass in and view the remains, but there was no large crowd, nnd we do not justify this action either on their part, or thoso officials whose duty it was to see that the diwrs were promptly closed. Hut it is passing strange that the Philadelphia Press and Times pa purs which circulate to soma extent in this community, and which -claim for themselves a degree of confidence and credit should join in thus tra ducing citizens of their own st:ito and spreading broadcast sensational statements utterly at variance with the truth. If their daily news is of such a generally unreliable charao ter, as their accounts of the scenes at the Sehullz execution, is known t ) bo here, they cannot ask for or expjat the p.itronao of reputable realtors. The Philadelphia Press under the caption of a "cheap hanging" says tho District Attorney received $13 and the bneritf $15 foes. -It should know that the County Commission ers have nothing to do with that matter as tho law fixes the fees of thoso ollicers. But its most won derful display of ignorance or dis regard of truth is iu tho statment that "the county receives $15 from t!id Anatomy Bxird for the body," which will pay tho hherifi s tee. Homebody must be wholly oblivious "to tho provisions of tho Act of June 13, lbh3. To the credit of our people it may lie said that there was ubsolutely nothing indecorous in their behavior cither before or at, or nfter the exe cation. There wero, outside of the few vehicles which brought those persons invited ns deputies, no more than ordinarily arrive in town al most nny day. There was no holi day nppearnnee in town, nnd in fact it lias been a subject of remark that for such nn nnns'ial event, nnd not withstanding the natural or morbid propensity of certain classes to gather on occasions of much less "moment, thcro was a marked nb seenco of any snch display. Those newspapers which have attempted to profit by publishing distorted nirl untrue accounts of the mattershouid Ve hold to n strict accountability for their libels on the morals nnd man ners of the people of Pike county.

RoTemiM and KicpendllnreB The Civil Service I'HW Congrem Reunion to be Short The Hawaii Annexation Mat ter. Washington, Doc. 13, 1897. Democratic opposition to the an nexation of Hawaii, has become so pronounced sinoo the reassembling of Congress, is fully f.xplninod by a story thnt is being told among the knowing ones in Washington. Ac cording to this story, the Domocra tio party has been sold by its leaders in Congress to tho sugar trust, which all the world knows is willing to spend nn enormous amount of money to prevent tho annexation of Ha waii. The sugar trust has ngreed to furnish ft corruption fund which the Democratio lenders believe to be large enough to ennble them to elect a Democratio majority of the house next year nnd a Democratio Presi dent in 1900, if the Democratic lend ers can succeed in preventing the annexat ion of Ha waii.either through the ratification of the . tronty or by direct, legislation. That is why the Democratic nennrs. with two ex ceptions, are nil working against the ratification of the treaty, nud why the Democrats of the house will this week, in caucus, declare against an nexation. But this disgraceful deal cannot, be carried out, bocnuse the Democrats ennnot prevent the an- nexntion of Hawaii. No date has been set for the re turn of President McKinley to Wash ington, but it is expected thnt he will shirt back immediately after his mother's funeral. Chairman Diiigley's emphatic statement iu the house about the prospective revenues and expendi tures oi the government, disposed of the whole batch of misrepresenta tions as to Republicans seriously considering legislation to furnish additional revenue. Of course everybody in Washington knew that tnese stories were purely im aginary and that the only object in circulating them was to discredit the administration nnd the Itepub Heart party. Mr. Dingloy did not simply make the assertion that the revenues of the fj-ovomment would exceed Its expeiij(eaj;e8 by at lenst $10,000,000 during 'the next fiscal yenr, but backed his assertions with figures which hnd the unqualified endorsement of President McKinley nnd Secretary Gnge. No legisla tion providing more revonue is con templated by the Republicans in Congress, for the simple reason thnt none is needod : the Dingloy law is steadily increasing the revenue and will provide nil tho money necessnry to economically administer the gov ernment. Tho fact that 72 Republican moin- bors of the houso participated in a conference called after they had each signed a paper stating that tho conference should consist-" of such Republican members as favor the modification of the civil service law, or a more honost enforcement of its provisions, or a more certain defini tion of the extent of its applica tion"' convinced even the most doubtiug thnt there is serious Re publican opposition to n continuance of the present civil service sitnntion. These Republicnns believe in real civil reform, bnt not in the sham article for which Mr. Clouelond is responsible, which covered with tho protecting cloak of civil service re form, thousands of Democrats who entered the public service by the dismissal of Republicnns, for no other cause than thoir Republican ism. Reduced to what they consid. er its legitimate function, every one of these Republican representatives would vote for a continuance of the civil service law, but rather see it continued in its present shape, they will work for its repeal or crippling in any manner within their power, and thoy will not lack for staunch supporters among the rank and file of the party throughout tho coun try. If this isn t the short, business session of Congress that it ought to be, the Republican leaders of the House are fully determined that no blume shall be laid at their doors, Since the first day of the session they have been bustling. Last week the Pension Appropriation Bill was reported and passed, and this week the legislative and judicial appro. priatiou bill will be put through. Tho disposal of two of the regular appropriation bills before the Christ mas recess will be a recora i-I which the Republicans of the house may well feel proud. , A little thing like a fact never brothers those who lie through choice. When Senator Hoar pres ented the petition of some native Hnwaiiuns, against annexation, to tho senate, tho liars all rushed a statement off that Senator Hoar was the champion of the petitioners and intended to fight annexation. Now, where do you tmpiose Senator Hoar got that petition 'i From Secretary Sherman, one of the stauchest ad vocates of annexation. It was tuk en to the State Department by the llawaiians, and Mr. Sherman told them he would have it laid before the senate, which bad the treaty under consideration, and he nskod Senator Hoar, ns a member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, to present it. Every day senators present potitions with which they have no sympathy, and nothing is said about it, but in this case the paid lobbyists 'lied in on'er to im. press thoir employers with the idea that they were earning thoir pny.

Owing to inclement wenthor on Tuesday evening the supper nt the Episcopal church was not so well attended as its friends would desire.

About four million false teeth are manufactured annually in the United States, while one ton of gold and three tons of silver and plati num to the value of one hundred million dollars are used in stopping teeth.

It will take Tri-States and Sparrowbush in its circuit. Why not add a large revenue to its treasury by projecting its line down the valley to Milford ?

Don t lot it slip your memory that Johnson's, at Port Jervis, is the place to buy slippers. Take no stock in the "selling out at cost' and "retiring from business" fakes but go to a place where a man is up. right enough to tell you that he sells good goods as low as thoy can be sold and he make a living profit The other are the "gold brick' something for nothing stories.

HARKisnuiid, Doc. 13 The vari ous county commissioue rs have not only duclared war on constables and justices of the peace, but juries as well, ns the following will show. It hns been customary for mnny years when juries are confined together deliberating over cases for the com missioners to provide them with meals, but since this hns been de clared by fanatics to bo an unneces sary expense tho commissioners de cided to discontinue tho plan. As yet only ti fow of the smaller coun ties have imposed the burden of self-sustonnnco on its representa tives, nnd it is only a question of a short while until they will come bnck to the old method of things. Although it is not compulsory to feed juries, where is there ft person who will deny thnt the jurymen do not earn their bread in addition to the small salary thoy receive while serving in such nn important enpne ity ? This method of practicing economy is to be deplored nnd the next Legislnture should pass nn net compelling the counties to board tho officers referred to as long as thoy nre engaged in tho performance of their duties. LOOK OCT FOR MORMONS. Although I do not often critioise religious denominations or sects, I ennnot refrain from earnestly warn ing Christians and nil others to be on the lookout for Mormon elders. Latter Day Saints nnd nil traveling evnngelists without proper creden- tials, since it is claimed that Harris burg is headquarters for Mormons. In this state elders are traveling in disguise as evangelists. Treat them with contempt. Don t lot them get a. hold in your oommunity. This warning should bo spread troiu ocean to ocean and from tho lakes to the gulf. STRENGTHENING THE BOOM. The only ohange in the guberna torial situation this week is the in crense in strength of Col. Wm. A. Stone, of the west.

As to other aspirants they are making slow progress in campaign worK, seem ing to realize that they have a hope- -less battle before them. DEPARTMENT NOTES.

Ex-Representative of the State Legislature Charles R. Gentner haa been arrested in Philadelphia charged with boing connected with othors in the issuance of fraudulent naturalization papers. I he nppeal to the Supreme Court of the attorneys for Murderer Hill, who wns to have been hanged in Pittsburg last week, has caused comment everywhere. This case will establish a precedent and the outcome will be watched with in terest, for Governor Hastings was emphatio in his refusal to grant the condemned man a respite. MISCELLANEOUS. There seems to an organized gantr of vanduls industriously at work in the central portion of the state. Their mode of operation consists of visiting farmers after night fall, killing the fattest stock they can find, taking the best portions with them and destroying the balance as to render it of no value to the owner. Complaint has been made to the state officials and an investigation is now being conducted. The fraudulent debtor a act of July, 1897, baa been declared uncon stitutional by Judgo Walling, of t-rie. A lengthy opinion supports his declaration. As a result of failing to appear for service in the Hazleton riot, several members of the National Guard will be compelled to undergo a trial by oourt martial. Will F. Hkndrickson.
