If the stay at homes on election
day could for moment realize how
anxious people who live under mon
archical governments are to have the
right to vote for government officials,
they would never again think of stay
ing at home on election day. One
of the first things they would do on
that day after their morning work is
done up, would be to go to the
poles and vote.
PATTIsoS's extra session of the Sen
ate is getting in more work. 1t
looks as if the field of investigation
is to be enlarged. A petition from
citizens from the large town of York
with its democratic Office holders.
have asked the Senate to investigate
the charges against the York Magis
trates and mercantile appraisers,
Just as Governor Pattiscn had urged
in a message should be done with
the Philadelphia magistrates. Vote
the republican ticket.
A WOMAN admiration turned into
wrath is said to be dreadful thing
which finds an exenplifcatioD in the
act of Miss Debar in Chicago last
Thursday. She had called on j. G.
Bundy, editor CT the Religious Phil
osophical Journal, and after a pro-
tracted conversation she proposed to
kiss theieditor but he politely declined
Then she become furious, attacked
him, struck him, scratched him, and
tore his clothes Bundy must be a
good looking man and different from
the average editor, for who ever be-
fore heard of woman wanting to
kiss an editor.
The Democrats are running the
campaign on the fall OF one man,
the man Bsrdsley, who is now in the
Penitentiary, and they ask the re-
publican party to forsake party, par
ty organization, party principle be-
cause of Bardsley. How would the
business of the country fare if con-
demned because of bank smashers,
and other business rascals? How |
would the churches and secret or !
ders fare, if they were all to be
brought to the bar to answer for n
crooked man here and there? Such |
arguments may be suitable for chill
dren but they are not becoming to
men.
GOVERNOR PATTIsoN's extra session
Senate political campaign movement
resulted in rothing excepting IL
great expense to the State. Every |
thing that has been presented to the
Senate had been presented to the
Legislative investigating committee,
all Of which proves that things at Har-
risburg were run as they are run in
every county in the state, namely, that
the tax receivers take their own time |
to pay over the moneys. That is
what was the matter with Bardsley,
he did not pay over the tax money,
he used it and now Pattison and his |
reformers want to hold the repub |
lican party responsible because the |
Auditor General did not make Bard |
sley pay over the money Immediately,
perhaps that would be the right way, !
but when they begin to enforce that
practice in Philadelphia the Auditor
General and State Treasurer will |
have to enforce it on the county
treasurers in this commonwealth, and
the county commissioners will have
to enforce it on every township col
lector, and the tax collectors will
have to en- force it upon the tax pay
ers. 1t will be walk up to the cap
