HIS No FRAuD.-A veto, when de.
livered, is a good thing after all. Gov.
ernor Robinson, the Democratic Ex.
ecutive Of the Empire State" has
far outstripped the fraud in the White
House, in the matter Of vetoes. The
Legislature, which is largely Radical,
run wild in the matter of legislation,
comforting extraordinary power upon
corporation and rings. The Governor
vetoed one hundred and eighty-three of
these obnoxious bills. Some of the
bills, he demonstrated, contained a den
of snakes, and others throwing vcxa.
tious obstacles and complications in
the exercise OF the elective franchise at
which the people are subservient. The
Governor Is for thepeoplo--the Fraud
Is against them.

Hoyt granted requisition from the
Governor of New York and warrant

Herdic borrowed s25, 900 from o bank
in Elmira, N. Y, depositing as collat-
eral security 1000 shares OF stock Of
the Williamsport Gas Company and
395 shares OF stock of the Lycoming
Gas and Water Company, of which be
claimed to be the owner; and, it is al
legged that he "falsely represented the
amount Of capital stock of these com.
panies, thereby giving to the shares
deposited as security an appearance
of greater value than they had, and
thus obtained the loan of $4,000 un.

that the said reform statesman, hero

The STANDARD LIAR.-As we sup
posed at the time it made its appear
ance in the Philadelphia Press, the
statement that Judge Warren ]. Wood
ward, Of the Supreme Court, had pri-
vately censured the action of the Dem.
ocratic members Of Congress, and de-
clared that he could no longer act with
the Democratic party, is without found
alton. For weeks severe illness has
prevented Judge Woodward from hear.
ing Of or reading the proceedings oi
Congress or Of passing political events
His most intimate friends, including
his son, fatty contradict the statement
of the Press, but with the usual dis
honesty of the stalwart Republican
organs, who have paraded the false
hood in their columns, no retractior
will bc made. The Philadelphia Pres
Is proverbial for square fiat lies since
ex.Clerk Mcpherson has assumed con
troll Of its columns.

WHAT A FALAcY.-Some interesting
facts in relation 10 labor have been pre-
pared by Superintendent Wright, Of
the Massachusetts, Bureau OF Labor
Statistics. According to this expert
the number of convicts in 1878 in oil
the State prisons Of the Union was
20, 1917, OF whom l3, l8G were employ
cd in mechanical industries. The
greatest number was in New York
and the smallest in Rhode Island, very
naturally, the one being the largest and
the other about the smallest State in
the Union. At the rate of forty cents
per day, which was the average, the
wage-earnings Of covicts tor the whole
year amounted TO 81 l,6A,5l5. AT So
per day, which is the average price OF
similar labor outside Of prisons, these
same men would have earned So, 1922
576, according to Mr. Wright. The
products of prison labor, il we take the
labor at 81 per day, did not exceed
800, 900, 900 in 1878, while the pro
ducts of all the mechanical industries
of the United States amounted to five
thousand millions. These figures will
serve the advocates of the abolition Of
contract labor in the prisons but il
must be borne in mind that it is q
Hagitious piece of reasoning which as
assumes that the 13, 1856 prisoners who
were employed as producers in 1875
would have produced anything If they
had been at large. As a rule, the gen
tlemen who gil the prisons do not Ia
Dor at So per day or at any Other
price when running at large. More
The convicts in our county prisons
should be made to earn their living by
working on the public streets aud
roads, instead of lounging in Jail and
living off the tax payers.

s oMETnINo IN THE WIND. The Phil
adelphia Record, OF the 10Th, makes
the following pertinent inquiry "Thc
public will be curious to know whether
the idea of Native American Demo.
cratic Association originated with Mr..
Yaux, Mr.. Randall or Mr.. Tilden.
More, the same journal remarks; The
next movement announced by the kid

an American Democratic Association.
The motto for its crest will be senten-
tious No Irish and no Catholics need

whom Mr.. Yaux went down in the dust.
He will look well walking under n like

WHO OUR NOMINEE FOR
STATE TREASURER rs.

Daniel @. Barr, the Democratic nom.
inee for State Treasurer Of Pennsyl-
vania, was born in BlairsviIle, Indiana
county, in 1910, and is therefore
nearly 40 years old, just in the prime of
life. He received his education at tho
common school OF that place. His first
employment was in the store of VIM.
Maher of that town Mr.. Philip Col
Inns, of the firm of P. 4 7. Collins, the
railway contractors, gave him posi-
ton under them in the construction OF
the Indiana branch of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, and on the completion Of
that work he learned telegraphing at
the Bairsville intersection Of the lndi
ana branch, and was stationed in charge
of the office at South Fork, on the
mountain division of the main line Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, in one
month afterhe had commenced to learn
He soon came under the observation
, OF Colonel Thomas A. Scott, who was
then the Superintendent of the West
b ern Division of that road, who sent
him to his office in Pittsburgh as one o
/ the principal operators there. Upor
, Mr.. Scott's removal from Pittsburgh
to Altoona as General Superintendent
. of the road, Mr.. Barr accepted an ap
! pointment in the old Pittsburgh Trus
+ Company, now the First Nationa
n Bank of Pittsburgh, one of tho larges

he entered on the 10th day of June

NAVAL GLORY.


The Baltimore Gazette, requests that
"the hearty sympathies of the public
will be extended TO the Ancient Mari
ner Thompson in his sad attempt to
found branch training school for boys
on board the war vessel "Wachusett
The Mariner hadlald out his plans well
TO hoave the "Wachusett" plow up the
Mississippi as far as st. Louis, where
she was to drop anchor and sound the
gong for the boys to come on board
aad enlist. Meanwhile the Iane fall
in the river came. This was not down
in the chart and the Mariner had to
have to in his private Office and con-
suit the books. If the "Waschusett," I"
in that reckless spirit which animatcs
the American Navy, should push for
ward, her port. holes would probably
be closed with fine quantity of Mis-
sissippi river sand. To 10 back would
bring disgrace on that important arm
Of the service. In this quandary the
bold Mariner seized doubt by the fore
lock and manfully ordered tho "Wa-
chusetts" to coal up and remain perfect
ly still while he tried to penetrate the
Western praines by another channel
He sent directions to have a hull and
boiler built around the mast of the
old steamer michigan" now lying on
the shelf in Lake Erie. This done, the
revived michigan will proceed under
orders to Chicago, touching along the
lakes to pick up the boys. If this plar
succeeds, Chicago bellies will secure the
naval epaulets for dress parade and st
Louis will declare war. We appre.
hend trouble and possibly bloodshed
ahead"
Hayes Secretary of the Navy was
born on the pralrles OF Northern lndl
ana, and knows about as much Of sea
going vessels and the Navy of the
United States as a Hottentot does o
the fifth chapter of st. Matthews; and
yet, this Indiana sucker" who nevel
saw ship, until after Hayes made
him Secretary of the Navy, now pro
poses to run that branch Of the Gov
ernment. Could impertinence anC
knavery go farther9 Why, even
blacksmith shop could not be run oil
such plan of sublime ignorance. But
it would seem as though Hayes pre-
sumed that any smart fellow was fl
for Cabinet position with him. II
} the aggregate, the fraud is undoubted

IT IS QUEER.--The advocates of the

an issue with over.zealous advocates
OF outside prosecutions
'Just why the Legislature voted to screen It's

tion Of men no more guilty than tho shielded par

The writer is no doubt aware that
the last Legislature was made up of
some very queer fish. The election of
Don Cameron as United States Senator
was conclusive proof of that fact and
it makes but very little difference what
that body did after that, because one
fraudulent act usually brings about
another The LONG-CAMERON,
Legislature will be remembered for q
