II is not. Well, we are under a new reign
which is to bring about the millennium for
weissport, therefore everything must con-
form TO the beautiful taste of our democratic
council. When people elect croakers to po-
sitions in which the power Of control is rest
ed, nothing else may be expected. "0rder
is heavens first law" and 80 il should be Of
all municipal powers, but when a thing Is
carried to extremes IL becomes u nuisance,
for every current has it's centre. II one
we're not acquainted with Weissport he
would suppose 1t were a very unruly and
rough place, BY the new rules, laws and or
ders which have been issued by the author
ities. II is entirely wrong to be too radical
and we hope that law and order will pre-
vail, but that the stringency OF oppression
will not be the means of bringing il about.
Mr.. W. II. Oswald and wife were on a
visit to Mrs. o's, parents, at Allentown,
over Sunday.
an illuminating smile oil week. 1t is
matter that brings joy TO the bosom Of any
man. 1t was not our privilege to see it, but
they say it is bouncing girl. Alex accept
our hearty congratulations on this, the sec
ond advent Of your labor.
Our So per month policeman, has been
more discussed, lately, than any religions,
political or social question that has hung
upon the balustrades of public discussion
We are sure that he IS no mo..ster or won
der to bring all this about. He is only a
mortal being; has little more Of the av"ir-
dupuis than the common run OF mankind I,
and s the efficient instrument that carries
into effect the funny promulgations of our
model council. So give us a rest.
-Zern & Marsh are busy shipping props.
This enterprise gives considerable work to
men around here. The thanks are due to
the gentleman for keeping it up under ad .
verse circumstances.
Our old friend C. W. Lentz returned
from Colorado last Saturday morning.
Charley looks well and hearty, and all his
friends were gratifed to grasp the hand Of
the living skeleton after il bad been dead
and buried for three months, as Iumor had
it. Oh, no. person is not quite dead yet,
even il he was almost.
1t is a peculiarly beftting and all aus
picious omen that the young men should
conduct the coming campaign in an ag-
gressive and progressive manner, on the
Democratic side, for the State ticket is the
embodiment Of the new blood aud young
element Of the party. 1t behoOves every
young man who is not blinded by party
prejudice and bigotry 10 rally around the
standard Of Robt. L. Pattison, the young
and heroic leader of reform in Philadelphia.
1t is necessary to do this for the deiyerance
of the old Keystone from the autocratiC
bosses aud domineering thugs who have
been and are preying upon its vitals in the
manner that vampire preys upon its vic.
tim. Let the young men of Republican
antecedents throw of the yoke, and come
out boldly for Pattison for it is a well
known fact that they have no chance with
in the Republican ranks, unless they wor
ship at the unholy and forbidden shrine o
the Bosses and sell their political honesty
integrity and liberty to them. How nause
atlng il is 10 see young men of ability, at
tacbed, as il with chains like galley slave
to the triumphal car Of such political au.
t"crat and absolute monarch as J. D. Cam
erou. We appeal to all young men To rise
