Responsibility for the Spoils System.

The President elect has recently Civ
opinion unfavorable to that view of gov
ernment which makes of it simply a
scramble for and dispensation of the
salaries of the blue-boOk. He seems to
be determined to check the tenden-
cy to regard the Executive Mansion
as little more than National EN-
plOyment Bureau, rather than the cen
ter of the executive branch of the
Government, with all its varied func-
tiOnS. The more StrenuOuSly he adheres
to this determination. the closer will
the entire Government be held to it's
proper uses, the better the nation will
be served, and the better the good people
of the country will be pleased
But are the executive branches of our
National. State, and municipal govern
ment alone to blame for the SpOils sys-
tenn? And in the general community
are the bad people solely to blame for it !?
In fact does not considerable part of
the blame and the disgrace rest upon
those who are claSsed among the
"goOd?" Do or do not these same good
people, or a large part of them. whenever
there is chase after a petty Office in
their neighborhOOd, join in the hue and
cry-if not in their own behalf, then, in
friendly way, in behalf of some needy
neighbor who wants their names to his
petition or their influence in his enter
prise.
When every citizen who at heart de-
spises the spoils system shall live up to
his despisal, and set his face resOlutely
against the indecent and cruel scramble
for other peoples bread and butter
then it will be easier for Presidents,
and all others in authority, to carry out
their own best intentions; then the pre-
sent laws in relation to the subject will
be executed in their full content and
intent; and the merit system will be ex-
tended to all that part of the public serv-
ice to which, in reason and in justice,
it should be applied Century.

LONG AGO.

Sweetest songs were those we sung
Long ago.
BlUeSt skies were those we knew
Long ago.
Then did roses redder, rarer.
Swaying lilies. whittier, fairer.
Gently blow.
SOfteSt winds were those that blew
Lightly So
Dearest dreams were those we had
In the Spring-time sweet and glad
Long ago.
PureSt gold was that we found
Long ago.
Warmest hearts were those that sighed
Long ago.
Brightest eyes the eyes that gaZed.
PureSt lips the lips that praised,
Whispering low
Gayest laughter that which died
Ere the woe
FOndest hands the hands we felt
Pressed about us as we knelt
Long ago.

The Sullivan County Fair.

The only agricultural fair in Sullivan
county is held at Forksville, and this fall
will be on October 3, a and 5. The
village of Forksvile is one Of the
prettiest in Pennsylvania and has first
class accommodations for the public.
The fair grounds are beautifully situ-
ated, the buildings new and the man.
agement as near perfection as long
experience can accomplish. The ex-
hi0ition of fruit, vegetables, grain,
cattle, sheep and draft horses is un-
surpassed in quality in the state.
Beng strictly agricultural but little
attention is paid to fast horses, al
though a fine track has been con-
structed for the convenience of those
who desire to develop or show OFF the
speedy qualities Of their favorite ami
mails, and this year several very good
races are arranged for the second and
thru days.

Zachariah Moore met with a seri
Gus accident Thursday of last week,
at about six o'clock. He was in the
act of coupling cars when he was
caught and his left arm crushed al
the elbow. DR.. Gardner was sum-
moncd and after making a careful
examination, stated that the arm
must be severed to save his life. II
was found that the bones were CON-
pletely crushed, some being forced
through the flesh. Amputation was
made above the elbow. For several
days his life hung in the balance, with
only possible chance of getting well.
There was every indication of blood
poison, with tendency to lock-jaw.
Tuesday a favorable change was
made, with the prospect of a speedy
recovery.

If there be organized a Law and
Order Society in this town, no better
service can be rendered the commun-
ity than by making an example of a
few Of the men and boys who stand
along the street corners in the evening
and use vulgar and profane language
in the hearing of ladies and children
passing by. The law imposes a fine
for every oath uttered, and the offend
er can be arrested, taken before a
magistrate, and a penalty imposed.
A lady cannot walk half square on
Main street after dark without having
her ears offended by profanity or
worse, The suppression of this would
be far more credltable than the sup
