HE SOLDIERS ENEMY.

In another column will be found state ment of the position taken towards the old soldiers by R. Jay Walsh, the republican candidate for secretary of state. His bru- tai remark that it is long time since the war and the republican party is tired of the claims of the old soldiers" was simply the outward expression of the inward hos tility he feels for the battle scared heroes of the war. MT Walsh, now that the old soldiers have a chance to get back at him, is on the ragged edge of fear and despair, and it Is more than probable that he will seek, by intellectual denial, to break the force of the blow that he has dealt himself
 In MT. Henry A. Bishop, his opponent on the democratic ticket, the old soldiers and citizens generally have man for whom they can vote with consciousness that he is their friend and the friend of everything that pertains to good govern ment and upright citizenship. The soul of honor and good fellowship MT Bishop would scorn to make a sighting reference to the old soldiers or any other deserving class of citizens. In voting for MT Bishop the old soldiers end their friends, and good citizens generally, will most effectu- ally rebuke MT Walsh for his contemptible words that his party is tired of the claims of the old soldier"
 R. Jay Walsh is the enemy of the old soldier. Henry A. Bishop is their friend. The old soldiers will remember their friend-also their enemy

OUAY's CONTEMPTIBLE WORK.

It has remained for MT Matt Quay, pur veyor of British forgeries, disseminator of American islander, and buyer of nigger votes, to wade through the slums of bigo- try and poke up with his unclean snout the foul-smelling stuff that unconscinable zealots and know nothings like himself can root from the garbage of religious hatred. It was hoped that the political issues before American citizens could have been settled without pandering to religious intolerance, but Quay has chosen to light the fires in these last days of the campaign. It was a vile, scurvy, contemptible trick, and the methods used to fan the flames of bigotry are worthy the priest hunters when the soggarths of Ireland were chased like wild beasts in the jugle.
 Packages have been received through the mails in this city ,and presumably in other places as well, containing among other re- publican literature pamphlet containing

TIE election laws in Pennsylvania are not very encouraging to the betting men, and We don't hear very much about election wagers being made down there. According to the statutes of the state, any person who makes bet on on election may be com pelled to pay fine equal to three times the amount of his wages. These penalties apply not only to those who actually put up their cash, but to those who offer to do so either .by verbal proclamation thereof or by written or printed advertisement The old laws of Pennsylvania simply deprived man of his vote for laying an election wager, but the courts having pronounced that unconstitutional, this stringent provision was substituted in it's place

AMERICANS certainly do not take stock in him (Cleveland).- Waterbury Exchange.
 Perhaps, though they do take stock in General Harrison, the man who said of not need half of our penitentiaries, which are almost full of them they have no intel ligence; they are only good to shovel dirt and grade railroads, for which they receive more than they are worth, as they are no acquisition to the American people," And then again perhaps they do It. And, don't let our exchange forget it, they don't.

extracts from a work by Miss Rose Eliza beth Cleveland, sister of the president. The Pamphletrpurposes to give opinions ot Miss Cleveland hostile to the mOnastic in stitutions of the church, all of which is construed in faring headlines as "Miss | Rose Elizabeth Cleveland's vicious attack on the church" Apart from the fact l that Miss Cleveland has perfect right 1 to her views of monastic institutions and | the church in general, and that she Is at liberty to vent those views as she will, there IS nothing in her opinions, be they ever so objectionable to Catholics, that IS relevant to President Cleveland or the issues on which he stands before the American people as candidate for the presidency. Miss Cleveland's views of the church do not concern him, they do not concern the democratic party; and Catholics are not quite so stupid as to make either the one or the other responsible for them. MT Quay mistakes the spirit of Catholicity it is not so narrow as he seems to believe. There is no such intolerance either i'll the spirit of the creed, CT the hearts of its believers, as to hold man responsible for any views hostile to itself that may be entertained by another even though that one be of his own flesh and blood. Miss Cleveland may think what she will of the Catholic church and its institutiOns-that
 is her privilege; but Catholics have no idea of holdging President Cleveland responsible therefor.
 AS we'll might we decry General Harri- son for his connection with one who is generally regarded as a renegade to the faith in which he was born, and whose own flesh and blood have reached to high positions in the Catholic church. As we'll decry Harrison and hold him responsible for Blaine's failure to rebuke the bigoted Burchard when he stood up before him and slandered the church ill which his revered mother lived and died. As we'll hold Harrison guilty for the deeds of his own ancestor who stood shoulder to shoulder with Oliver Cromwell at the siege of Drogheda.
 MT Quay had better root into other mire Catholics are not fools. They can size up this kind of campaign knayery, and they will rebuke the party from whom it comes Be warned in time. Drop it.

only $15, ZOO, 900 OF SIG, OOO, 900 when lie

chase of the Harlem road. That
doubled his fortune. Then he bought
the Hudson River and Central, and
doubled another. And finally he took
in the Lake Shore and Michigan South

doubled his estate the third time. Thus
when he was at the age when most men
