Wallis Body Stolen.

The discovery was made Tuesday
morning March 18th, by two farmers
who were walking through the ceme-
terry on their way to work, that the
body of murderer Wall had been
stolen from the grave in Exeter
township where it was entered after
the execution. The ground in and
about the grave had been dug up
and hastily replaced by the body
snatchers whose efforts to cover
their tracts were very clumsy. 1t is
believed that the body is wanted
by several experts on brain dis
ease who wish to ascertain posi-
lively whether or not the young
murderer was insane.

The First National bank of Sun
bury, has paid no county or borough
taxes since 1883 on their bank
property because they claimed it
was part of the capital stock, upon
which they paid state tax. Suit
was recently inferred against the
bank BY the borough and the matter
was adjusted amicably the other day
by the bank paying the back taxes
amounting to about fifteen hundred
dollars.

The Reading Combine.

Correspondent to Bloom Sentinel.
The petitions that are being circu-
lated to procure signatures, favor
ing the Reading combine. state,
among other things, that the deal
will increase the price of wages.
The Times article, several days ago,
which was wildly quoted, said that
this control that the Reading rail
road had gained would cheaper the
price of coal to the consumers.
Now, then, if either or both of
these statements are true, it also
follows that this gigantic corpora
ton has the power to loaoer wages
and raise the price of coal.
From the very nature of the com.
bination, which do you think this
combine will do-lower the Price of
coal and raise the price of wages, or
raise the price of coal and lower the
price OF wages.
We think this deal is unconstitu-
tional and have every reason to be-
lieve that the managers of the Read
ing Railroad have the same opinion,
or they would not propose getting
around the letter of the law by run
ming these leased roads under their
original names with Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad, lessees, attached.
The comforting of so much power
in the hands of few persons, or, in
fact. of one man, is dangerous step
for the citizens of Pennsylvania to
take, and the signing of the above
mentioned petition is certainly cut
ting ones nose off, while he is under
the influence of misrepresentation.
Combines, when at the "big end
of the horn," care very little about
the welfare of the people, and by
the aid of a subsidized press, they
find plant tools to mould public
opinion in their favor.
It remains to be seen whether or
not the old Keystone State will
sanction this unconstitutional rail-
road combine.

If fyoung boys and girls could
only understand how happy it makes
their parents when they are doing
we'll and conducting themselves like
ladies and gentlemen, il seems to us
they would make greater effort
than they do to avoid evil deeds and

in life to parents is found in the sue

going out from their home, and
much misery is caused by way

If the Journals Ashboro friend hopes

would not be worth the space to furnish

upon them than six-gun battery would

with whom few facts on this point
may help.
First-None of the very wealthy of
this country, except those embraced in
the Standard Oil Company, have made
their wealth in manufacturing. The AS
tors, the wealthIest men in the country,
have made their millions by holding
real estate in New York city for three
generations. The Vanderbilts, who are
next in the list, gained their wealth
through the control of the railroad sys-
tenn known as the New York Central
nearly from it's inception until the pres
ent time. In both cases their millions
are due to an appreciation of property
incident to the growth of New York and
the country. Jay Gould. Russell Sage,
Huntington and several others have

ipulations and the control of the stock
market. Tens of thousands have con-
tributed to the fortunes of these men by
dabbling in stock speculation against
them. Several men, like John /. Blair
of New Jersey, the Ameses of Massachu-
sets, and the millionaires of the Pacific
railroads have made their millions in the
construction, con sOlidation and manipu-
lation of railroads and railroad systems.
In fact, large proportion of the larger
fortunes in this country are the result of
successful ventures in railroads and
stocks. Years ago, when the Bessemer
steel processes were first introduced.
considerable fortunes were realized by a
few men, but they have added more to
them in recent years by railroad and
stock speculations.

saved, and there was no way of saving
them except by destroying the great
evil of usurY." By usury Senator Pef-

DRY is that money should be made so
cheap and interest so low that every
man could become borrower and the
American people a nation of debtors.
This is his idea of national salvation.
But Mr.. PETER is mistaken in saying
that the only way to save the people is
by abolishing usury. There is very
easy way of av oiding the clutches of the
usurer, and that is by not borrowing.
