INthe present Congress there are nine
Greenhack members. but in all of the
thirty-three States in which elections
We're held on the 9TH inst, only one
Greenbacker was returned. Solitary and
alone, Charles \. Brumm, who was re-
elected by a small majority in the Schuyl
kill county district, in this State. will re
present the Greenhack school of pOIiti-
clans in the next Congress. Brumm is
. trimmer and a trickster. and always a
willing tool of the Republican party in
Congress. When the Greenhack. party
finds itself reduced to the strait of hay
ing Brumm as its only representative in
Congress isn't it about time for it TO
take down its sign.

IT is not very important now. but as
it is always well to be accurate. it had
better be stated, that the majority for
Grover Cleveland for Governor Of New
York, over Charles J. Folger, the pres

Two years ago, when Garfield carried
New York by a majority of p, O03. Fol

The Democrafic candidate for con.

The Democratic candidate for con-
gressmari -at-large, Mr.. Elliott, falls
considerably below the average of his
colleagues in his plurality, though his
total vote Is not materially less. This
latter incident proves that his falling off
is due mainly to the disadvantage of bis
position in being placed on the county
ticket, in the fate of which, in many of
the large counties, there was little in
terest taken. In his own country Of Ii
oga, the closest, by the way, in the State
between the three parties, Mr.. Elliott
received a plurality of 1908, though
Beaver carried the county over Pattison.
Throughout the northern and north
western part of the State, Mr.. Elliott
contributed strength to the ticket and
in all the canvass bore himself bTavely
and rendered yeoman service. With
reference to sectional considerations as
well as to general political interests his
candidacy vindicated the wisdom of his
nomination by the Democratic State
convention. .-Lancdster H1telligencer.

WHERE THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
The lightning struck ia a good many
queer places at the late election, and
there were some funny results. A num-
Der Of Democratic Congressman were
elected, who were merely nominated to
head foIioTn hopes with no more idea of
election than they had of being transla4
ted to kingdom come. In the Bradford
Wayne district of this State the Demo-
Gratis elected a young lawyer named
Post to Congress. who had been merely
nominated to give him good send-o off
in the Western State in which he pro-
posed to locate Immediately after the
election. He was a bright young fellow
and his friends wanted to pay him a
parting compliment in his old home. so
they rendered him the nomination for
Congress. The Republicans thought it
would be a good thing to divide their
vote on two candidates, and Mr.. Post
was elected. In the Sacra mento Cali
formal district, something of a similar
nature trauspTed. Page, the old mem
Der, was elected by 5000 majority in 10
and 3, 500 in 1890. No one dreamed be
could be defeated. as he commanded the
great Federal patronage of the district.
The Democratic Congressional conven-
ton found no one who wished to be of
feTed up as sacrifice to Frank Page.
Finally Gen. Terry brought in James II.
Budd, young man not yet thirty. He
was inclined to retreat, but one of his
friends said "Oh. take it jim you may
as weillearn how it feels to get beaten. >
And he took it, and with Que bound has
passed from the petty politics of eoun-
try town to the goal of many grey-hair-
ed politicians ambition. Budd is a
bright young man, and if his sudden
success does not spoil him, will do good
work. His father IS one of the wealth
lest land owners in the great San Joa-
gum valley. There were number Of ca
ses of this same character in Michigan
and Wisconsin, These three States
were gerrymandeTed to give the Demo-
Gratis two Congressman in Wisconsin
and nine in Iowa and Michigan. They
return seventeen Democrats to theHodSe
and fourteen Republicans. In a num-
Der of districts Democrats were elected
who merely accepted the nomination to
keep up the organization and undergo
the regulation defeat. PihSblrg Post.

Mr.. PETER GRIM was found dead
at his residence, about a mile and a
half east of Darkesville, on Wednes-
day morning. He was last seen on
Friday of last week, and the suppo-
sition is that he died during the
night of that day. A coroner's jury
was summoned ana after viewing
the remains, rendered a verdict Of
death from heart disease. The body
had reached such a state Of decom-
position when found, that it was at
once buried on the farm on which he
resided at the time of his death. Mr.
Grim was a respected citizen and
well thought of in the community
in which he lived He was about 60
years Of age and leaves large fami-
ly, from whom he had been separa-
ted for some time.

THE COMET. -Astronomers who
are now calculating the orbit of that
bright stranger in the eastern sky,
say it is not identical with the comet
of 1880, and probably will not return
for eight or ten years. 1t may be
identical with the comet of 1913, or
it may be another body moving in
the same path. There is no proof
Of any narrowing of its orbit, and
the astronomers do not expect it to
strike the sun. If it should fall in
to the sun its mass is comparatively
so slight that it would produce no
appreciable effect upon the earth.
