How the Republicans Raise Their Cam
paigu Funds.

The Republican Ring in this state has
always found it easy to manage Phladel-
phia and Allegheny. In the latter it has
been customary to have the delegates to
the State Convention named by county
committee duly packed for the purpose,
But this year, when Mr., Boss Magee
brought his committee together to exc
cute orders from headquarters, he was
confronted by petition signed by some
of the largest manufacturers of Pittsburg,
men whom he well knew to be in the
habit of controlling thousands of work
ingmen at the elections They demand
ed that the choice of delegates should be
RENTED to conventions called for the
purpose
The Boss yielded gracefully, but he
took the occasion to give the public
some information, which ought to be
well considered lie said he had gre at
respect for the signers; "they had made
millions out of the Republican party
where the politicians had made cents; "
and if anybody was interested in keeping
It in the old ruts, they were. Here is .
clear confession by competent boss, of
what is generally known, namely, that
the Republican campaign funds are reg
ularly recruited from the profits of bust
ness firms and corporations, who thus
buy special privileges from the party in
power. This constitutes a serious danger
to free institutions, 1t makes popular
elections a farce, and representative gov
ernment a sham. Legislatures and Con
crosses, Governors aud Presidents, elect
ed by such means, are necessarily the
mere creatures of those who provide the
means, and who drive their workmen to
the polls to back up their money

A Funny Stage Spectacle.

A sensational drama has recently been
performed in the chief theatre of Moscow,
the crowning sensation being combat
in rocky pass between a lion and an
Arab chief The lion scrambles up a
steep ascent, and is about to spring UPON
its foe, when the man brings it down
with well aimed shot. The part of the
lion has been sustained most successfully
by trained gymnast until about a
month ago, when that artist suddenly
fell i'll, and the management was sudden
ly compelled to intrust his role to an ac-
tive super, who undertook it at n few
hours notice When the time arrived for his
debut he bounded on the stage with ad-
mirable vigor, and scuttled up the cliff
in irreproachable style. But when the Arab
chief discharged his musket, the lion,
utterly thrown off his guard by the re-
poit, stood erect on his hinder paws,
crossed himself devoutly, and cxclaimng
"Hcaven help us" hurriedly descended
the cliff, tail foremost, amid the jubilant
shouts of the audience.

THE SPRING ELECTION.

The following from the Williamsport
Sua is applicable to this county.
AS the citizens of the different town.
ships will soon be called upon to choose
men to fill the different town aud local
offices, we would urge upon them the
importance of selecting capable and hon,
est men. We know that there is class
of voters that pay but little attention to
the February election; they think that
because the offices to be filled are but
small ones, with but little or no compen-
sation, it is of no Importance what the
material is that the officers are made from,
and if such voters attend the election at
all they are apt to cast their votes for
men who are simply good, jolly fellows,
without stopping to consider whether
they are in any way qualified to fill the
offices for which they are named and
there are voters among the same class
who will oppose the election of good
men simply to carry out some petty per.
sonal spite. But these voters forget that
the great bulk of taxes that they are
compelled to pay goes into the hands of
the town officials; yet, while they forget
that fact at the time they are casting
their votes, they are the ones that are
eternally and forever grumbling about
the way the township affairs are con
Quoted. 1t would be more to their credit
if they would take more interest in the
selection of good officers or growl less
after said officers are chosen. Again,
we say choose the best men you have to
fill the different tow nship offices, and if
they are men Of property there should be
no objection, as il would seem but nat
ural that those who have the most taxes
to pay would be the most concerned
about the proper administration of the
affairs of the township. Especially try
and get an unprejudiced person for As
SCISSOR; as he is not only expected to
make fair and impartial assessments, but
il depends a considerable upon him
whether the township has a responsible
and faithful collector of the State and
county tax.

A State Road System.

We will have good, hard and smooth
roads, free from toll, in Pennsylvania, as
soon as the Legislature passes judicous
road law, by organizing public road
system on the common school plan. We
have suggested the plan again and again.
Briefly stated, it is to create a depart
ment of Public Roads, with state, county
and township supervisors, holding the
same relation to the public roads that the
state and county superintendent and dis
trict directors do to the public schools. The
state to appropriate at least one million
dollars yearly to the public roads, and
each township to receive its quota, pro.
vided it raises an equal amount of taxa
ton that would come to it as its share of
the appropriation. The county super
visors to have the general direction and
supervision OF all theroads of his county,
and to see that the township supervisors
perform their duties. Such a system
would give us good roads throughout
Pennsylvania in less than ten years time.
In ho way could the state appropriate
money to better purpose than to give
the public good roads, IVmspt. S,u.
