owner of the animal, ''you can put

A Media Special says: One OF the
men suspicioned with being connect
ed with the recent iires in that place is
q well-known young man OF the town
and comes of one of the best families
in Delaware county. His actions have
been OF character to excite suspicion
for some time past, especially upon
the nights OF recent fires. 1t Is said
he Is always ON hand at early time at
all the tires and that ne is always fully
dressed even to collar and necktie.
Many Of the citizens Of the borough
are morally certain that the right man
has been suspicioned. but, they lack
the necessary evidence. The name OF
the man referred to Is openly used
upon the streets In competition with
the fires and watch Is now being
kept upon him every night. 1t Is
thought that he has developed q mania
for starting the fires.

II the Democrats were really sincere
In their desire to have the Sherman
silver law repealed why did they not
do II last winter when they had about
o three-fourths majority in the House
Of Representatives? They cannot
com plain that the Republicans were
opposed TO it. as three-fourths OF that
party voted in favor OF the repeal.
Had the Democrats ever been able to-
have polled half their strength I'M
Congress in favor of repeal the bin
would have been repealed long ago.
But the difficulty was that the Re-
publicans were powerless to effect a
repeal and the Democrats, though
holding at least two-thirde OF the
popular branch OF Congress, had no
inclination to repeal 1t and that Is why
It still remains law.
1t isnow given out that President
Cleveland. after close polling OF the
members OF Congress, expects to have
o majority In favor Of repeal when he
calls his extra session Of Congress- to-
gether in September.
IL he has really converted his own
party over to the side of repeal. he
has done wonders. but there IL reason
10 believe TINT he counts in this ma
Sority the Republican members three
fourths of whom are known to be IL
favor of repeal. President Glove land
might as we'll he honest In this matter
He cannot catch the Republican vote
for this measure by making conces-
slcns to the silver wing OF his party.
II Republicans are expected to vott
for the bill it will be with the under
standing that nothing obnoxious In
silver legislation will lie permitted &c
take its place. No false pretenses
must be put forward, no subterfnge
rasorted to. Three-fourths Of the II,
publican party Is in favor OF the re
peal OF the Sherman Silver Act, bu
with that repeal silver coinage must

All Of these Suits are made
from Imported Homespuns,

Woolens. Why, that's a
whole lesson in itself. You
should learn it. Perhaps
there never was a more
popular material than the
good old Tweed. A Scotch
Tweed will almost never
wear out. That's the only
drawback. They wear so
well that you have no ex.
cuse for buying a new Suit.
