That CAMPAIGN OPENING.

The Clearhed REPUBLICAN makes Il appear
that ex-senator Scott, Messrs. Wolfe, Iloyt and
others, Who engineered the late "opening Of the

themselves summoned to appear In that city, at
that time as grand and petit jurors in the United

mileage amounting to about SOS each. That
journal sums up tho cost as follows Fifty jurors,
at S85 each. $3.50; Chairman Hoyts bill lfor
serving eight days as juror, at s3 per day, $2i,
and for mileage s6s), total $3,sl2. Zach one Of

HEAVY LOSS IN THE SINKING
FUND.

DANCER OF MORE NO bECthlT1.
Last week we re-publsheJ state
ment showing that sl1 120.9S of the
State sinking fund were deposited
with two broken banks at Eric and
Franklin. Both of these broken con-
Germs were long ago wound up and are
out OF existence. The sum named is
therefore total loss and an effort will
be made to saddle it en- the people, al
though the State Treasurer clears not
less than one hundred thousand dollars
annually upon the peoples money.
But this is not all the money belong
ing to the sinking fund that is lost
The firm of G. F. Mason 4 Co., of
Towanda, which has $4,000 of the
peoples money, is also broken and out
of business, and this swells the loss to
over $4,000 How MUCH MORE is
LOST? If few more such failures as
that Of Jay Cooke 4 Co, and Duncan,
Sherman \ Co., occur, the half or the
whole of the sinking fund Of this State
