WHAT WILL BE DONE Tho editor
oCtbc New York Herald, views current
facts in our State, in true light, when
alluding to the result of the recent
election. He states the case rs follows:
"Ihe fact that so large a vote should
have been cast for Mr. Wolfe shows
the existence of sentiment in Penn.
sylvania which Republican managers
must recognize or give up their con.
troll over the State. They have done
things in public ways and as political
methods which bring shame upon our
institutions, The pardon of Kemble
the conduct of the Legislature in pub.
lie measures, the Philadelphia ring,
the strootcar monopolies and hundreds
of other matters mark the record of a
rule which must come to an end. I'm.
less the whole Republican system is

will inaict upon the Republican party
an irretrievable defeat"

An ELECTION FREAK.-Last Fall the
Radicals elected one Levi P. Morton
to Congress from the Eleventh dis.
trict in New York, by 2,5lO majority
Morton is very wealthy-ten millions
and great Gnrfeldcr General
Noyes, Of Ohio, was our Minister to
France, and being much more of a
Hayes man than otherwise, President
Garfield last Summer conceived the
idea that he would punish Noyes by
appointing Morton in his place, affirm
ing that Morton's seat in Congress
could be filed this Fall. OF Morton
went for Noyes and Paris, and the
Radicals nominated one of the rich
Astors to fill the vacancy. On elec.
ton day, President Arthur and Gen.
Grant trampod with linked arms over
half the district, soliciting votes for
Astor When the ballots were count
ed, Flower, the Democratic nominee,
had majority of 1920. reported
in Radical journals that Astor spent
$4,000 to secure his election. We
suspect that when Minister Levi p,
learned the facts he was startled.
More: With Morton in his scat, the
Radicals had l47 members of Congress
"a clear majority of ONE over all
parties, But the loss Of Astor gives
the Democrats and the Greenbackers
a majority in that body. This cut in
political science will cause rattling

millionaires.

FIVE BURGLARS EAcu MAKE A For.
TUNE AT ONE HAUL. Jesse Baldwin's
residence, miles south of youngstown,
Ohio, was burglarzCd at 3 o'clock on
Tuesday morning Of last week, and
between $4,000 and $4,000 in gold
coin taken, A reward Of 1000 is
offered for the arrest Of the robbers.
Baldwin is the crank who recently
created sensation by appearing at
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton, y. G., and demanding gold ior
$1,000 worth OF Government bonds.
He kept his money in an old fashioned
safe under the stairs in the hallway Of
his residence The party of burglars
were five in number. -Four of them
gained admiltaEcc. The Baldwin
family slept upstairs, and the first init.
nation they had of the burglary was
tho furious noise made by blowing the
safe open with powder. George Lewis,
Baldwn's sonin.law, fred three shots
at the burglars as they left the house
with the bags of gold in their arms.
The burglars returned a volley. No
one on either side was injured. The
robbers had previously taken two Of
Mr. Baldwin's horses and best carriage,
and had them standing near the resi-.
denco They jumped into the buggy
and escaped, going south. The buggy,
it has been learned, broke down about
four miles south Of Baldwins home.
1t is believed that Baldwin was
robbed by the gang Of professionals
that is workingin the section composed
of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern
Ohio, and from some point in which u
saio.blowing operation is reported al.
most every day. A similar robbery
was perpetraled at Eric night or two
ago, and there, as at Baldwin's, tho
thieves drove off the horses and car.
riago Of the man they plundered. The
reward is ample to induce the detect
ives to start upon the trail Of the burg.
lars.
