THE love of office which Inheres in
some men in this office-seeking Repub-
lie is really wonderful, and in many in
stances supremely disgusting. A very
conspicuous case in point is the candi-
dacy of Greeubury l.. Fort for the Office
Of Sergeant-at-Arms Of the next Con-
gress, which will meet or Monday week.
Fort has represented the eighth Illinois
district in Congress four terms in success
sion, and only went out of Office on the
4th of March last. When we read the
statement that he is a candidate fOr the
place above referred to in the next House
we had a strong suspicion that he was
an Ohio man, and upon consulting the
Congressional Directory we found that
Fort had the luck of being born in that
State, the prolific mother OF cheeky, but
successful, Office-hunteTs, in 1925. Eight
years service in Congress has only
whetted his appetite for another tug at
the treasury teat. and that too in a sub
ordinate position. To live at Washing
ton and to draw his salary out of the
public treasury is the supreme object Of
Forts existence, as it is of so many 9TH
ers who hang around the national Capi-
tai after the expiration of their terms of
Office, waiting for something to turn
up" in the shape of Official position.
This wild hunt after office, no matter
! what its charactermay be, provided only
hat it is an office, was well illustrated
in this State few years ago when an
I ex-Democratic member of the House
from old Berks," came to Harrisburg
and sought and obtained the important
/ position Of member of the paster and
/ folder brigade. Either a short time be.
. fore or short time after the exploit of
! this Democratic statesman from BeTks.
/ an ex-Rrpublican member from Indiana
/ distinguished himself in precisely the
same way We are a nation of hungry,
/ chronic ofice-seekers. They swarm at
/ Washington, at the capital Of every
| State in the Union, and in every county
/ from Maine to far distant Oregon.

ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE leading independ-
ent Republicans from different sections
of the State-men who did not support
Mr.. Wolfe in his late fight against the
supremacy of the bosses, but voted for
Bailey rather than that the Republican
party should be shattered into fragments
met at the Continental Hotel, in Phil
adelphia, on Wednesday Of last week, to
deliberate upon and discuss their future
action as Republicans. Among those
who were present at the meeting were
Congressman Bayne, of Allegheny cOun-
ty, Senator Davies, who WAS slaughter
ed by the bosses at the Harrisburg con-
ventiOn, Senator Lee, of Venango, Sem
ators Stewart, Kaufman and Thomas,
of Franklin, Lancaster and Bucks cOun-
ties respectively, the editors Of the Phil
adelphia Press and Lancaster NetC Era,
Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, Thos.
w. Phillips, of Lawrence county. the
two last named being the only men pres
eut who voted tor Wolfe, and E. &.
Martin, of Lancaster, who read law in
this place. Senator Lee acted as chair
man, and was authorized by a resolution
to appoint an executive committee and
general committee to promote the OBJ
ject of the meeting. As Wolfe runs
separate branch of the Independents on
his own hook. he was not present at the
conference. AL who were there agreed
fully that it was vitally important that
the independents should control the next
Republican State convention, and so it
undoubtedly is, but that happens to be
the very thing that Cameron and Quay
will not permit them to do. if they can
prevent it, and that they can and will
does not seem to us to be a doubtful
question, The purpose OF these indie
pendents is to fight their battle inside of
the party, but if they fail in accomplish
ing their purpose, what then This
question they did not explicitly answer,
but left it in allegiance. AS long as they
go on fighting for reform, - as they call
it. within the party lines, Cameron and
his trained cohorts will meet them at
their own game and win every time,
Wolfe's method of throttling the Cam
eron gang" Ito use the words OF our
friend Martini that is, by a movement
outside of the paIty-is the only ration
al, as it clearly is the only effecJual,
way of dealing with the bosses, To
break down any nomination made by
rf q
plan, and that alone was his purpose, as
he publicly ayOwed, in running against
Bailey. He asserts that he will TesO-
lutely fight the battle out on that line in
the future. 1t is that kind of a fight
that Cameron fears, and he isn't the
least hit frightened by being assailed
within the Republican lines. Republi-
can politics from now until the meeting
of the next State convention will be
watched with more than ordinary inter

SEEKERs AFTER HEALTH.-UnfOrtunat
who are seeking to renew :heiT health, are
many. So often have :hey been deceived by
the advertisements of worthless compounds,
that many are discouraged, and refuse to be-
neVe anything they read in the papers.
Therefore, the best advertisement of = really
good medicine Is the reputation it has gsin-
ed IN places where it Is being sold No 9th
er remedy ever discovered has grown so rap
IDLY IN public favor as that true medicinal
tonic called Browns Iron Bitters. In local
tiles where its extraordinary merits have ne
come fully known and realized by those who
nave been in ill-heath, the sale is unprece-
dented. One druggist in our city reports the
sale OF 236 bottles in one week. It IS indeed,
wonderful, health giving Hfe-saving pre-
paration. It is soothing and refreshing In its
encct, and strengthens every part Of the
Dody, and creates healty appetite and diges-
non, even when the system Is almost dps-
troyed by the many hurtful cathartics so
commonly used, Reader, beware duty de-
mands that You try Browns Iron Bitters, if
yo1r health is poor from any cause In

Termination OF MI ArthuT's friend,
William Malone, to signalize his repu
diation victory in Virginia by procuring
the election of Riddleberger to the Sen
ate of the United States as the successor
of Senator Johnston whose term of office

BOOKS FOR THE STATE PRISON.

The Board OF State Prison Directors
want an appropriation Of $1,000 to buy
books for the Penitentiary. They say that
the convicts necessarily have much time
on their hands, even when all or nearly all
OF them are working throughout the day,
and that what goes by the name of the
library at San Quentin is for the most part
gathering of rubbish from which no good
can be got. They want to buy useful and
instructive books, and they believe that
the conyicts can be taught to read and take
an interest in them, and that in this way
wholesome tendency may by degrees be
established in their minds. Certainly
nothing worse than sheer idleness and
brooding can be conceived for men in their
situation, and if the only alternative with
this is the exchange OF criminal reminis,
cences, it is plain that the case is bad one.
A good library is always good thing, and
it might do much at San Quentin. The
experiment is well worth trying, at any
rate, and therefore we hope that the desire
of the Board will be granted by the Legis
lature. The State has done so little to-
wards reforming its criminals, and has in
fact neglected them so shamefully, that it
may well afford to grant a slight concession
of this kind.
