of partisan malice and the theme of public
discussion lacks alike the elements OF
Christianity ard of chivalry, and has mere
him of hypocrisy over its brutality that
renders il more Odious.
The Duncannon Iron Company reduced
the wages of the employees 10 per cent.
which caused some parties, in the interest
of the democracy, to hang James g. Blaine
In etfegy. A card was placed on the breast
of the image, bearing the words, james
G. Blaine Is dead, the l / per cent. reduc-
ton killed him." If Cleveland becomed
president and has a supporting congress
there will be a greater reduction than
twice 10 per cent. in wages. Which will

The following dispatch is evidence that
it does not take long to dispose of horse
thief In the west after he has been caught.
A good many people in the older parts of
the country feel like serving the horse
thieves as they do in the west:
KANSAS CITY, No., September 25.-A
special dispatch to the Journal from Vir-
ginia City, Montana, says: The bodies OF
two horse thieves were discovered suspend
ed from tree on Poplar river yesterday.
This makes thirty-seren horse thieves
lynched by vigllantes this season.
Ii is many days since the town was so
thoroughly enlivened as it was by the Meal
isterville band, last Thursday evening, for
the period Of several hours. Miffiintown
people are not professors of music, but they
hear good deal of it and know what is
good in the line of that accomplishment.
The band went on such an extensive tour
of serenading, in the town, under the pilot
age Of James McCauley, that every body
had an opportunity to hear and see them,
and the general opinion is that they are
the best band that has visited the town
within the period of long time. Come
again.
The late constitutional convention that
increased the number OF courts needlessly,
aud doubled the Legislative districts, there
by greatly increasing the cost TO the state
run by the lawyers; it was lawyers con-
vention. Certainly lawyers are needed in
civilized society, bat when they, as a class,
monopolize the politics of the country, it is
too much Of the good thing, and that is
why the people OF Juniata county will not
vote for Mr.. Pette, for the atfice of Pro-
thonotary. There VIII be nothing left In
the way of an office for citizen if the le-
gal profession keep pressing itself forward
into the offices of county and state.
Our garrulous friend, of the Tribune, be-
lieves that this office is under obligations
to him, because he once brought file of
papers from the Stats Capitol for us. 1t
was through the mistake of the binder of
the papers that he had the honor thrust
upon him of bringing the SENTINEL from
Harrisburg 1t is a question yet, at this
late dav, whether the binder should not be
kicked for thrustIng such honors apoa the
clerk. II he will call around he can have
25c IS for bringing the file, or, if he prefers
il, the amount will be deducted from nine
quireS of paper that he borrowed from this
office and never returned. 1t is doubtful
as to whether a diet on penny mnokeral will
improve his manners, strengthen his recol-
lection, or correct his unkind insinuating 2
language. A plaster over his 1aoutb would
prove just the thing-Selah.
The Democrat and Register last week de-
olxreS that a Cleveland and Hendricks club
was formed in Tuscarora and Lack town
,saip and that the members of the club a re
animated by the spirit of l916. Rather an
cid spirit that, and BY the way, if the Dem
-0crat and Register viii Just tell its club
friends in Tuscarora and Lack, that one OF
the animating spirits of l1I6 was that OF
opposition TO the King George Government
for its persistent efforts to break up manu-
featuring establishments in the colonies,
1t will tell them 10 do the right thing.
King George wanted the goods all manU-
factured in England, SO that his subjects
there could derive the benefit from the
trade and sale of them, that and the ques-
tion of taxation brought on the revolution
of l716. The Tuscarora and Lack people
should turn their club into a Blaine and Lo-
gan club-Come over gentlemen, for you
know that tho Democratic free trade policy
will play the King George with our manu-
featuring establishments. Stand by the
spirit of l716 aud come over.
Rev. George Benaugh has rendered hi,
resignation of the pastorate of the Presby-
terian congregation in this place to take ef-
feet about the first OF November. Next
Saturday congregational meeting will be
held to consider his resignation, and Sc
lect two elders. Mr. Benaugh is naturally
reserved in his manners, and that some
times causes him to pass members of his
flock without a'recognition. He is not free
enough in his recognition of the member
ship of his people and their children when
he meets them on the street, is remark
that is heard about him. "He keeps away
from us too much, and keeps us from him,
he is too high toned for us,'' is an other re-
mark that is heard of him. His strong ut
frances against dancing, which some of his
flock are fond of, has caused a number TO
express the remark that he does not express
their views on the question ofamusements.
But all agree that he j, one of the ablest
preachers in Huntingdon Presbyiery, and
that he is no pop-in-jay upstart of a preach
er. given TO fopish ways, in home or church
life, and that he never presses his people
with eItravegant projects of any kind. He
is gentleman Of more than common per-
.onaldignity, without fuss and fes theirs
How the congregation will vote on the ques-
tion of his resignation will be determined
by the meeting next Saturday.
