IL the Tribune wishes to make itself OF
use, instead of an organ of abuse, it might
explain few things that many of its radical
friends would like to know something about
1t might explain why it is that Grant
without authority and con trary to the letter
and spirit of the Constitution, bargained with
foreign usurper for the annexation of a
territory with which we were at peace. and
endeaVered to force the same upon the Sen.
ate.
It might explain why the statesman, Carl
Schulz, was compelled to denounce the Pres
ident as making rapid strides to despotism
and the overthrow of this republican gov,
ernment.
1t might explain why Grant favors negro
voting and opposes white voting.
1t might explain why Grant has appoint,
ed forty-two relatives to Office, without any
regard to fitness, to the great detriment OF
the public service.
1t might explain how it is that a great
portion of the peoples taxes are squandered
by Grants collectors before they reach the
Treasury.
1t might explain why the lands of the peo>
pie 10 the great West are wrested from them
aud bestowed on mammoth corporations.
1t might explain how George o. Evans.
the Radical State Agent, swiudled the peo.
pie out of 1921 ,O46, 81.

WHEN an editor, to subserve party pur-
poses, or crafty a desire for abuse, wishes
to dcnouuce a citizen, all he has to do is to
attribute an article in some other paper to
him, and forthwith take to abusing him
Every paper has responsible editor, and
whenever we go beyond that we run the risk
of doing g wrong that Christian charity
would blush at. A very ludicrous case pre-
sents itself just now.
There are three newspapers published in
JOhnstown. The article in the Echo on the
subject of the county ticket is attributed by
the Democrat to Col. John P..Linton, and
very severe and unjust article against Mr.
Linton is the result.
The Tribune attributes tie same srticle
to Mr.. Rose, and proceeds to empty his vials
of billingsgato on him.
Now, we take it for granted that the edi-
tor OF the Echo wrote the article, or, if he
did not, got whosoever he pleased to write
1t for him, endorsed it, and published it,
which is precisely the Same as if he had
written it,
But either the Democrat or Tribune. (and
we ask pardon Of the Democrat for connect
ing it in any way with the Tribune,l must
be wrong, as only one man could have writ
ten it; and this shows how wrong it is to
guess on the subject.
We trust we are at peace with all men,
but if we had an enemy in Johnstown we
should be very sorry to make him the author
of an article in order to abuse him.
While in the editorials of the Democrat It is
some times hard to tell (which is who" as
the editorial 1--WE" means two, we confess
that we have not lately seen anything in the
dT1oune that could be attributed to any gen.
Hem0n In Johnstown, aud we are therefore
quite sure that everything was written by
the editor.

On Saturday last the Democratic cosfer-
eos from this Judicial District, composed Of
the counties of Cambria, Blair and Hunting
don, met at Altoona for the purpose of nom
mating candidate for President Judge
The name of THApDKUs BANKS, ESQ, of
hollidaysburg, being the only one presented
to the conference, that gentleman was unan.
imously nominated. His nomination was
anticipated, in as much as the Democratic
sentiment of the, District most unmistakablv
foreshadowed the selection of Mr.. Banks
The action of the conference was therefore
mors matter of form than of substance.
Mr.. Banks is gentleman of acknowledged
ability and large experience In his profes-
sion. He is in the vigor of his manhood
and enjoys reputation for personal integri-
ty which cannot be successfully assailed. If
the people of the District should ratify Mr..
Banks nomination at the ballot-box, and we
have implicit confidence that they will, he
will not disappoint the expectations of the
people or prove unfaithful to the high trust
'reposed in him.

THE Tribune, like the fabled hermit, blows
hot and cold in the same breath and. like
the chameleon, takes the hue of everything
it touches. 1t supported Sheriff Bonacker
and opposes him last week it conceded he
was honest-this week it thinks he is not
Last fall it abused Henry Walters, Esq, and
all who thought with him; nolo it sympa>
thizes with him. The editor has abnormal
hatred to all foreigners, yet one week he
praises the Irish at the expense of the Ger
mans, and the next extols the Germans at
the expense of the Irish. Eliting the home
organ of Hon. D. j. Morell, he found Judge
Taylor all right when he was actively (al
most too actively for Judge supporting
Mr.. Morrell for Congress. In spite of the
Judges efforts for Mr.. MorrelI, he is defeat
ed for Congress; and now Morrell's organ is
filled with low abuse of Judge Taylor, and
vile caricatures only fit for jakey paper
graces, or rather diSgraceS, its columns Yer
lily, Judge Taylor has his reward.

WILLIAM BANKS. ESQ, died at his resi-,
dence in Indiana on the 10th instant, aged
IS years. He was admitted to the bar in
Mercer county in 1925, and removed to In-
diana county in 1926. For many years Mr..
Banks was regular attendant at the courts
of this county, and was well known to our
citizens, by whom he was highly respected
for his excellent social qualities. He was an
able and thoroughly read member of his
profession, and enjoyed the confidence of the
people of his own county in an eminent der
gree. He was a conscientious man, and if
there existed in these degenerate days an
honest laryer, which is not credited by the
ignorant and unchaEitable, William Banks
was fairly entitled to that appellation.-
Green be his memory.

ELSEWHERE will be found brief states
ment of the doings of the Democratic Sena-
torial Conference which met at Tyrone on
the 18th instant. 1t will be seen that on
the thirteenth ballot William A. Wallace
of Clearfeld county received the nomination
for State Senator from this district, COMPOSED
under the new apportionmeut bill, of Cam
bria, Clearfeld, Clinton and Elk counties.
In 1862 Mr.. Wallace was elected to the
Senate from the district then comprising the
counties of Cambria, Blair and Clearfield.
In 1865 be was elected to the same BODY
from the district composed of the counties of
Clearfeld, Cameron, Clarion, Forest and Elk.
and was reelected from the same district in
1868. He has therefore served nine consec
utivs years (thres terms) in the. Senate, and
is now candidate for the fourth time. This
fact alone ID certainly high compliment to
Mr.. Wallace. He is SO we'll known to the
Democracy of Cambria that it is quite un.
necessary for us to enter into detailed state-
ment of his political career. he is a gentle.
man OF marked ability and occupies a de-
servedly prominent and influential position
IN the Senate. His election is of course
foregone conclusion. as be is certain of re,
ceving majority in every county in the
district.

TWELVE CoNvICTs made their escape from
Sing Sing prison on Thursday last by means
Of singularly simple plot. Some of their
friends hired a tugboat in New York, ran it
up to the dock adjoining the prison, regard
less of the seutry's challenge, the prisoners
jumped aboard, the boat steamed out, and
the desperadoes were so far free. Pursuit
was not easy. and had not the tug run
aground on a sandbar some way down the
river, the men would probably have got
clear off. AS it was, they took to some row.
boats that luckily for them were at hand,
and landed on the west shore. Their pur-
suers, however, meanwhile had lost no time,
and at last advices several had been recap>
tured, while tie others were being hotly fol-
lowed. and the recapture of at least major
ity of them was only a question of little
time. Whether the tugboat people were in
league with the rascals is matter of doubt.
The captain tells pretty straightforward
tale, and he may be guiltless of all complies
ty in the affair, but as one of the confederates
has been arrested. we may possibly soon be
in possession of some more definite informa-
ton.

the circumstance of his leaving with another
mans wife excited suspicion that he was
concerned IN the murder, and search was
made for him and young Crafts without

rested.
The denial of the Persian famine is not
supported by after facts. To be sure some
OF the more gross and terrible details of the
event have not been substantiated .but enouob
Is proven TO wiring the hearts of those whose
tables are daily loaded with all that nature
can crave or desire. At Ispahan alone there
nave been already twenty. seven thousand
deaths, and IN the provinces where the
uearth hrst broke out, the mortality is re-
ported to be even worse. In some localities.
tulIy one-third of the people have been
swept away for want of food. This is a
dreadful record, but not so revolving as that
which was frst spread before the peopIe Of
the country
On Saturday week girl aged ten wears
daughter of Thomas Bennett, living near
I I u!ton station Ky, on thePaducah and Gulf
hallroad, was missing from her home and
search was vainly made for her. A NEGRO
VINO had been working for Bennett sirce the
war was suspected and arrested. but escaped
LIE was. however, shot and recaptured and
confessed that he had attempted to commit
rape on the little child, but not succeeds
ing, he tirst choked her to death, and then
accomplished his Infamous purpose with the
ald OF knife, after which. be threw her
body Inte pond. At the last account. tho
mend was in custody, but has, no doubt
been lynched ere this.
