the people would no more touch him tor

was in the thing and we have mourned oul
failure without ceasing. That light which

Loot is what the Harrisburg Patriot is
after, now. Just hear this strain from its
harp: None but the brave deserve the
fair, and none but the workers in the party
deserve the Offices Away with your par
lor politicians, your dilettante, kid -gloved
blue-blooded pretenders to craftsmanship
who wait until the active, jealous and un.
firing work of others wins the battle and
then are in at the death to claim the vic.
tors wreath. They are about now, bowling
and scraping and smirking and smiling
busy in putting their own claims to great
ness and disparaging and whiting those
who fought in the thickest of the fight and
who happen to stand in the way of Their
ambition, No party can afford to set aside
Its workers and give its Offices and honor:
to such creatures

George Leonard, fireman on the Express
train on the D. L. & ". RR., on which
the express safe was robbed last week, was
arrested on Saturday at Delaware Station,
by S. B. Stillwill, on suspicion Of being
connected with the robbery It seems that
on the night of the robbery he left the en-
gine at the junction and returned to D.Ia-
ware Station on coal tl~in, evidently to
secure the hidden spoils, and on Saturday
came to Scranton. There seems to be lit
tie doubt of his guilt. The total loss bv
