share.
The tramps are credited with all of the
late outrageous acts, but who used the in-
cendiary language and arguments that kept
up the outrsgesi There are men in this
community. who are holding Office, who
used viotnt incendiary language. II will
not do 20 credit the encouragement of the
mob 20 the tramps.
William II. Vanderbilt has directed that
one hundred Thousand dollars be divided
ratably "anrong all employees, except exec
utive and departmental officers" of the N.
Y. Central and Hudson River Railr DAD, as a
token of appreciation OF their adhesion to
order and law during the strikers riotous
demonstrations.
In referring to the fact that Chief Justice
| Agnew was fined for shooting wood cock
out of season, the Courier-JoSrxaf SAYS that
in the comparative statistics of disorder
Kentucky cen beat that, for several years
ago Governor Leslie was fined for playing
[ croquet on the grass in front of the State
I House at Frankfort.
The Coaferenoe Ners, daily camp-meet-
ing edition, this year has been issued to

template camping at Newton Hamilton, and

Indians are communists to a great degree.
They recognize no boundary lines. All
lands are theirs in common that they roam
over, and wherever they chance to be, that
is their home. Nuts of trees and bushes,
fishes from the streams, and game from
wood and plain, are theirs in common. Ii
you like the commune, join the Indians and
be practical. No restrairs of civilization
there.
few days ago, as Mrs. Sieber, wife OF
Rev. Solomon Sieber. of Thompsontown,
walked in her yard she found a large cop
pcrhead snake in the path. A garden spade
stood close by, and was brought into play
ON the snake. A certain well-directed
thrust cut the reptile in two pieces, which
caused twcnty-s'x little copperheads t, come
out of their hiding place anc wriggle about
in the path. IL was large haul of snakes.
Doctor" said an old lady TO her family
physician, - kin We tell me how it is that
some folks is born dumb ?'' Why, hem,
certainly madam" replied the doctor, cit is
owing to the fact that they come into the
world without the power OF speech" ola,
me 20 remarked the old lady, snow jest see
I've axed my Old man more nor a hundred
times that same thing, and all that | could
ever get out of him was jest this, 'kase
they is.''
There are many men in the country who
advocate the doctrines of the commune.
Why do they not assemble in communities
and practice what they preach Ii their
doctrine is the essence of all social and in
du>trial reform, they certainly should be
able to make it clear by practice, by living
in communities; and if it IS the good thing
that they want 10 make people believe it is,
then practice would soon convert the world
to it. Bit the truth is that the preaching
and the Practices of the agitatOrs of the
Commune do not square. They preach one /
thing and practice another.
Showers & Scholl nave Received dehnite /
as TO the carriages that they /
started by rail for Warsaw, indiana. The I
train to which the two cars that contained 4
the carriages were attached reached Pitts I
cling things about the railroad, and one of |
the cars, with its contents, tell a victim TO
their passion. The other car, with its con-
tents, is safe, and doubtless before this time /
has reached is destination, Warsaw, Ind. /
The loss of Showers & Scholl is an iilustra- !
ton of the general loss that the commune
has brought on the country.
In the three last campaigns the Democ-
racy created great deal of dissatisfaction |
giving SO much land to railroad companies
as that much help TO build roads through /
unsettled sections Of the country. The |
bitter denunciation had the tendency to stop /
the Republicans from further loaning the
credit OF the Government to corporations.
The country need not be surprised next
winter if they find the majority of Demo-
cratic leaders IN favor of the most unlimited |
land grant schemes, and in favor of loaning /
the credit of the Government to corpora
tiOns.
A tall tramp called at the residence of
Kurtz Kaufman, in Fermanagh township, |
on Monday, and after making inquiry abo1t
money became very insolent and INDUCED
in murderous threats. Every farmer should
have supply of arms in his house, SO that
ii an attempt to put unlawful threats into
execution is made, he may be able to take
care of himself and his family and his prop |
erty. The people who keep the machinery
Of civilization running are those who are
careful and industrious in the management
CT their affairs, and it will not do TO have
them brow beaten and robbed by a set OF
people who do no good, but are only bur-
dens upon the general public.
