The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1871-07-04

The Democracy are continually
harping on the extravaganza of the
Republican party and crying for re-
trenchment and reform. We hope all
the members of both political parties
will note the fact, that whilst in twen-
ty-eight months the debt of the city of
New York, which is under the heel of
the Democracy, has increased s52, 1916
566,17, under the administration of
General Grant the taxes have been re-
duced one hundred millions, and the
national debt nearly two hundred and
fifty millions. How could the country
bear up under Democratic ascendencyr
We feel persuaded that four years
rule Of the Democracy would render
the nation bankrupt,-PiHsburgh Ga
zette.
The Mercer Press, the organ of
the "Unterrifed" of Mercer County
goes on to say;
The abandonment of the vital prin-
ciple by the Harrisburg Convention
has already cooled the ardor of tens
of thousands of the truest Democrats
that breathe, who, if the 18th Amend
is to stand, can see so little difference
between a Republican and Demo.
cratic platform as to make it scarcely
worth the trouble to fold up ticket
for the bollot box.
There is fence standing in Ger
mantown, Pa, which was in itspresent
location in Revolutionary days, and
bears marks of the battle there. The
boards were originally one inch in
thickness, but constant exposure to
the weather for century has reduced
them to one-third Of thar.

We would like to know if there is
a man on Tionesta who can beat the
following. If there is, let him now
speak. The Warren Ledger says:
The championship for the most won
derful feats ofrafting is awarded to a
new contestant, d. Miles, Esq. Our
special interviewer becoming deeply
interested in the bestowment of these
honors, paid visit on Friday last to
the board landing of N. Sill, in Pleas
ant Township, and learned the follow
ing facts:
Mr.. Miles with two full grown assis-
tants, and sprightly lad to furnish
the ice water, bored the bottoms, raft
ed and bound off during the working
hours of a single day ten thousand nine
hundred and Severty-sir and a-haT feet
Of one and one-eighth inch boards
Mr.. Miles appeared in good working
trim, tough and hardy, that led us to
enquire as to his diet, and were in
formed that the staple articles consist
ed of Allegheny salmon and bass, fried
frogs, mountain oysters, with an
abundance of vegetables, and an in
terspersion of zee water, to meet re-
quirements. Mr.. Miles seemed but
slightly fatigued-looked remarkably
we'll; but was unbopnded in indigna-
tion that Hall, Crocker, Dunn, Chase,
and others, should presume to be the
champion raftsmen; and our inter-
viewer being of the same opinion con-
ceded the championship to Mr.. Miles.

On Saturday, the 18th inst, G.
L. Disbrow of Captain of the Wizard
boat club Of this city, forwarded a
challenge to the second crew of the
Undine boat club, to pull them three
mile race "a mile and return), on the
Fourth of July; the challenge to re-
main open ten days. Yesterday re-
ply was received from Arthur B. Starr,
Of the Undines, accepting the challenge
in behalf Of the Second Crew. The
start is to be made at 1890 a. M,
weather permitting The course will
probably be from in front of the ele-
vators, over the old course, past the
E. Il p. docks, turning a stake and
rrturning to the starting point. If
some of the good citizens of Erie
would make up purse for the crews
to compete for it would be apt to put
more nerve into the contest by furnish
them tangible incentive besides the
empty honor of being victorious II
the day is fair and the bay reasonably
smooth, we shall have the pleasure OF
witnessing two fine racing crews at
work, whether the citizens are liberal
enough to offer them any encourage
ment or otherwise.-Erie Dispatch.

A PLEA FOR EGGS.


Be gentle 10 the new laid eggs,
For they are brittle things;
They cannot fly until they're hatched
And have pair Of wings.
If once you break the tender shell,
The wrong you can't redress;
The yolk and white will all run out,
And make dreadful "mess."
IT'S but little while at best
The hens have power to lay;
Tomorrow eggs may added be
That were quite fresh to-day.
Oh let the touch be light
That takes them from the kegi
There is no man whose cunning skill
Can mend broken egg.
Ay, touch it with tender touch,
For, till the egg is billed,
Who knows but that unwittingly,
1t may be smashed and spiledi
The Summer breeze that 'gainst It blows
Ought to be stilled and hushed;
For eggs, like youthful purity,
Are awful when they're squashed.

A Chance for CapitaIists.

A good paper mill situated in
franklin would be a paying institu-
ton. Papers printed in the Western
end Of Pennsylvania are supplied with
paper from points no nearer than
Pittsburgh or Cleveland, much to their
annoyance by reason of heavy demands
on the mills. A paper mill at this
point, besides escommanding a trade with
in few hours reach of our city that
would keep it busy, and having facili-
ties for transportation almost unequall-
ed and not surpassed by any town in
the State, would have the advantage
Of an exhaustless water-power. We
do not exaggregate when we say that
in point of water-power Franklin has
a superiority over any of our neigh
boring towns. The advantages of q
paper mill at Franklin can be appre-
ciated by our neighboring journalists
who have experienced vexatious de-
lay in receiving their surplus from a
distance, and we commend the subject
of establishing a mill in our city to
their attention, hoping that a general
discussion of the matter will attract
the attention Of some manufacturers
who may see the rich harvest ready to
drop in the lap of enterprise. Some
of our own capitalists might take the
matter in hand, but an experienced
paper manufacturer would be more
apt to make the investment pay. Tc
be successful in making paper mill
pay requires as much tact as any 9th
er business, therefore we commend the
project to paper men, Venango Spec
