STATESMEN FOR THE CENTENNIAL
YEAR

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD
When we ganceat the state Of our country 100 years
ago, when sho was beginning her great struggle for
liberty, is II not sad to know, think that the
government OF our grand Republic should be the dis.
graceful object of comment by all during the Gen.
tennial celebration OF its BIRTH Do we not see
different and exalted spirit among our foreathers
than among oui present rucrsY They who
sacrificed everything in their power at the altar OF
liberty that they might beQueath TO the Joys and
blessings OF freedom They did make the great
public trusts contdcd TO them subservient craving
and never TO be satisfied personal ambition Therefore
We should have some means by which we can place in
high Offices men who possess the true and patriotic
spirit ana love Tor the prosperity OF our nation that
marked the men of the Revolution. We have had many
able and true lovers OF freedom to uphold the dignity
OF our constitution aud wo shall have them again
America viii have before long whom she can boast
OF as well as those OF the past Aud how NAV we nnd
such menf We shall find them by means of the
recognized power OF the press with the HERALD MS tho
leader BY having such men at the head Of the public
veal this Centennial shall have been truly a year OF ioy
and blessing and II shall also be an incentive for our
children TO love aud venerao the land that possessed
such men as Washington, Hancock, Carroll and ali tho
othcr noble heroes. Then our Republic will be the
true model OF the Joys and rights OF people, which
can only be attained by the preservation OF an un-
sbacklcd and unsullcd liberty. JFF

HnISE is another beautiful illustration Of
Democratic economy. FROM and after to-
day disabled soldiers will be unable 10 pro-
cure artificial arms and legs from the United
States Surgeon Generals Department, the
appropriation for this purpose having been
cut down 70 $50, 900, which has been entirely
exhausted, while not more than quarter of
those entitled To- its benefits have been sup
piled The deficiency is estimated at $780,
600. No action can be taken in the cases of
the others until Congress shall provide n
deficiency appropriation.
Tie above elegant paragraph we find in
the editorial columns of the Ebensburg
Herald Of last week, but of course we do
not believe that the editor of that paper did
more than copy 1t from some other Radical
sheet of like veracity. The statement it
self, however, to quote the language Of a
Democratic exchange, would be dreadful if
tine, but as the Republicans hold half the
law making and all of the executive de-
partments of the government, we canno t
waste many tears over the melancholy an
nouncement. a few of the millions stolen
by the immediate friends of Grant would
rig out all the armless and legless soldiers

plant on that score about the naughty"
doings of the Democratic majority in the

eyes, is that they greatly curtaied the
chances for stealing by reducing the yearl y
appropriations not less than thiI ty millions
of do liars.

If You WANT TO VOTE, PAY Your
TAxEs.-Tbe Lancaster Express has this
to say: Now that the registration of vo-
ters is completed, it is very important that
every voter who has not done So should
make early payment of his taxes, in order
to establish his ight to vote at the Presi-
Dental election. We have taken the
ground heretofore that ii is a violation of
the spirit, If not the letter, of the constitu-
tion for political committees to pay taxes
i'll order to secure the votes OF delinquen;s.
1t is, to say the least, indirect bribery, and
moreover he most petty meanness in the
voter who permits it to be done when he is
at all abl, To pay the tritiing sum necessary
to secure tie right To vote.
This centennial year is a good time to
begin the good work of arresting the 20.
litical decentralization to which this system
of paying taxes by political committees mas
led. 1hore are a number of political bum
mers who hold back To take advantage of
it, but If the committees of both parties
will agree that the demoraliziug practice
shall stop, .hat will be the end of it.
In the meantime. we urge upon every vo-
ter'ln humble circumstance, out who values
the privileges of American citizenship, as
any one ought to do to lose no time in nav
ing his tax, and thus lift binsclf above tho
suspicion of being in the category of the
wi!lful deHnquents above referred to.

THOMAS DAVIS and the kindred spirits
who surround him have been. we are told,
boasting in certain localities abou. the re-
cord Of that gentleman OnSthe question Of
the removal of the county seat from Eb-
ensburg 10 JolInstown. We would merely
say to them that the less paper they put
out on that subject the better it will be for
their pet candidate, as we know full well
that it will not do for them to travel over
the north of the county and endeavor to
make capital by asserting that lie Davis
opposed the removal of the county seat, and
that he was the principal instrument, as
they declare. in preventing said removal.
1t is well known that Thomas Davis was
the friend Of removal and worked hard to
accomplish it up until tie day before the
eIection, when, for some reason best known
to himself, he turned about and stCltified
his own record by working With might and
main against removal. Thomas had been
in Johnstown the day preceding this won
derful gymnastic feat, and it is no secret
that he came home with an exceedingly
large flea in his ear which same had the
effect Of making him anything but amiable
in his feelings towards certain leaders Uf
the removal cause in that locality. Hence
1t was that Thomas became a very sudden
and very earnest, if not . very efficient,
convert to the anti-removal doctrine. This
and nothing more.
