A Beaver Republican club was or
ganized at Everette, Bedford county,
last week. One of the resolutions
passed by the club, reads as follows !:
RESOLVED, That we regard the social
ed independent movement as fraud
ED delusion, and intended by its
authors and abettors to result in
boosting" the Democratic party in
to power in Pennsylvania, and plac-
ing the several Departments of the
State and National Governments in
the hands of the men who attempted
to destroy the same by means of dis
union and war.
The Philadelphia Record writes the
tornado of the west out of existence,
as follows During the past three
years over ninety three thousand
acres of trees have been planted in
Kansas, and the work of creating for
ests still progressed with great rap
idity. In Dakota the railway com
panies furnish seedlings to farmers
free of charge, and the tracks are
lined on either side with thrifty
young trees. If this work is contin
ued, two decades will not pass before
aridity will give place to fertility, and
tornadoeS become almost a tradition.
Thomas A. Armstrong, the Labor
candidate for Governor, delivered a
speech in Philadelphia last week.
He said that the fight of the Work
ingmens party was fight for the
rights of labor against the oppress-
ions of capital, and that they expect
ed to fight for their ticket independ-
ent of its effect upon other parties.
There was no dicker with the other
parties now in the field, and there
would be a fair and open contest,
the result of which will surprise every
one who does not understand the
complete organization which has
been effected by the labor element in
this campaign
They have excitement enough, now
in Kewance Illinoise, to do an ordi
nary town for the period of a genera
ton. A man in that town has con-
fessed to the murder of neighbor
woman for money, and the cashier
of the First National Bank in the
place is under arrest on a charge of
completely in the recent robbery of
the bank. of $4,000. A set of men
came into the bank, in day time, and
locked the cashier and woman clerk
in the vault 1t is now said that the
cashier had the most of the $4,000
removed from the bank the day be-
fore the so-called robbers called at
the bank and locked him in. Bad
men will do anything for money.
ARMSTRONG, the Labor and Green
back candidate for Governor deliver
ed speech at Reading last Wednes-
day evening He said there are laws
in existence in this State that discrim-
mate in favor of capital, and against
labor. He claimed that labor has as
much right to organize as capital.
He charged that the National banks
are backing the manufacturer. ''You
must send men to Congress, he said,
''who will legislate for the people.
You cannot effect anything by stick
ing to the old parties. You must
join the new party and have honest
men to represent you Think of the
fifteen lawyers on the other tickets.
The laboring men have no business
with lawyers Monopoiies and cor
porations have a prior claim. 1
claim. I charge you to organize and
be fearless in championing your
rights. Do not fear to be stigmatiz-
ed as belonging to the lawless class.
You created bossism and the creator
has the power to destroy what it has
created. Our party has no room for
bosses. Stick, work, organize and
rest assured your ticket will not sell
you out Our flag will be flying af-
ter election. Don't believe any stor-
les of our withdrawal on the eve of
election. Our work is for education,
agitation and organization. There
is no difference between Republican
and the Democratic parties. Vote
with the new party.
An exchange remarks, that some
farmers are praying S. per bushel
for seed wheat, of the same quality
that they have growing on their
farms, the only difference is, that,
the agents have removed all the bro
ken, and defective grains. 1t is pay
ing pretty well, to have ones seed
wheat cleaned A farmer could do
it a great deal cheaper himself. He
could save nearly 81, on a bushel,
and have the refuse for chicken feed.
A Philadelphian says: The Noun
tain House, Cresson Springs, Pa,
is a large, superbly appointed sum-
mer hotel, where there is not only no
drinking bar. but actually no wine
