monts' hesitation, obeyed tho order
After the starting OF the train, ono Of
the robbers remarked "we will run the

robbers fired at the engineer killing

the tender, ran TO the rear of the train

THE GovERNoRsHIP.-Two months
ago we had not less than eight candi-
dates in the field for Governor in this
State. But by some cause or other,
the nearer we approach to the period
for holding our State Convention the
fewer the candidates and it seems to
us at this distance from the Eric Con-
vention, as though that body would
nominate Ex-Governor Bigler Tor the
position indicated by decided major
ity, although he has protested against
it on every occasion. The living,mov-
ing element in our party, outside of
the mere professional politicians seem
to demand his nomination and insist
that he should ignore his personal
feelings in the matter and allow his
name to be used for Governor on this
centennial occasion. He is in daily
receipt of letters and dispatches to this
effect, and it looks as though there
was a general uprising all over the
State calling upon him to "stand up, y
William Allen like, and lead MS to vic
tory in November. Such result
would be very gratifying to us and
we hope to be able to chronicle the
fact that our neighbor has been called
to perform this work. lie would

BISMARCK AHEAD.-Do not fail to
read the article in this issue entitled,
Surrender of American Citizenship"
The recent surrender is one of the
most cowardly, sneak-thief acts upon
that subject ever perpetrated by the
American Government. Naturalized
citizens and their offspring had better
ponder this new Know-Nothing move
ment on the part of the National Ad-
ministration. This last deal is wholly
in the interest Of Bismarck, and shows
that his strategy IS not confined to
Europe alone, but that he has a good
foothold at Washington. The idea
that a Government can unnaturalize
a citizen in two years, against his con.
sent, is so damnably dcspotic that we
should suppose that any government
like ours would discard every scheme
of the kind to enslave the people. Yet,
improbable as it may seem, Bismarck
has contract to that effect with the
Grant Administration. Read the facts
as set forth in the article taken from
the New York Sun. Haf sal

How DFFERENT--Hon. Thomas
Raines, State Treasurer Of New York,
has addressed a letter to the Governor
of that State asking him to appoint q
committee of expert accountants to in.
vestigate and examine the books and
papers in his Office at Albany. How
different this is from the way they do
things at Harrisburg. There, lcgis-
lative committee was appointed last
winter for similar purpose but
our State Trcasurcr-MaclSoyAhas
locked the doors and refuses to have
his accounts examined. The New
York officer is a Democrat and the
Harrisburg fellow is a Radical rooster,
and he has about as much respect for
the rights of the people as wolf has

ANOTHER nnGE REpncrI0Nl


The Grant organs are making u
great ado over the TACT that the July
statement of the Treasury Depart
ment shows that our government en-
ployes have reduced the national debt
nearly million and a half during the
month of June. The official figures are
81 ,l3l ,249.5G, about the same that IL
was the lst of June; and il the reduc-
ton is the same during the other ten
months, the reduction at the end of
the year will aggregate about eighteen
millions Of dollars.
Reader, take look at this bluff
game which our agents are playing of
onus. In our last Congress the Radicals
passed new tax bill, imposing an ad-
ditional tariff Of 90 per cent. on sugar,
20 per cent. on tobacco and cigars, and
90 per cent. on liquors, and various
other commercial commodities for the
purpose Of "raising the wind and post
poning suspension on the part of the
Government until after the Prcsiden-
tial election. The taxes to be raked
into the Treasury by this tariff bill
were set down by the Department
agents at forty millions Of dollars an
nually, which was to be set apart as a
kind of sinking fund to cancel the
Irrational blessing" loyalty bestowed
upon a free people. Now, what is the
result of this Radical financiering p
The Grant agents are collecting over
three millions per month off the tax
payers, yet they show reduction OF
less than half that sum- Now, if our
loyal friends will hand us over three
million cash per month, we will guar
antee TO reduce the national blessing
tlco and a hair millions per month. This
is one million month better than the
present agents are doing. Such agents
should be kicked into the river and
drowned. The man who has $40 hand
cd to him to pay upon claim of 1920
during the year, and only succeeds in
having slS credited on the back of
the note, had better be discharged and
put at something less expensive to 9th
er people.
In other words II Grant d Co.
collect forty millions of taxes Off the
people in addition to the amount col
ected for ten years past, and reduce
the "national blessing eighteen millions
during the year we demand change,
so far as we are concerned,
