One Lie That Stinks.

In majority of directions, this cam
paign has thus far been clean and man
ly. There has been little personal
abuse and only a moderate amount of
lying. The issues of the canvass have
been discussed, for the most part, in
manner creditable to civilized beings
living within the intellectual light of
the last decade of the nineteenth CEN
tury; and in those few exceptional cases
where this admirable'rule has been vio-
lated, the aggressors have uniformly
been beneath notice and underneath
contempt
We predicted, several days ago, that
it would be difficult to keep the Dem
ocratlc bosses of Lackawanna county
up to this high plane; and recent de-
velopements have fully justified our
forecast. They have already begun
their slandering of Republican candl-
dates and substituted libel for argu-
ment. A conspicuous instance of this
is shown in the zeal with which they
continue to circulate the weather-beat-
en-, moss-covered and utterly putrid lie
that Frank II. Clemens, Republican
candidate for sheriff, had once said "a
dollar a day was enough for any work.
ing man" Mr.. Clemons has publicly
and explicitly denied this lie; denied it
in parts and denied it in toto. He has
denied that he ever used that express
sion or that he ever used any language
at any time in any place which could,
by the remotest stretching, be inter-
preted to imply any such idea. But the
lie-mongers heed him not. They go
right on circulating the libel, and will
doubtless add picturesque and livid
trimmings as the scandal is passed
along.
If the persons to whom this ridiculous
lie is being told for campaign effect
would pause moment, they would
soon realize the lies utter improbable
ity. What sane man, in politics, even
If he thought that one dollar q day is
all q working man should have, would
be so wholly beside himself as to say so
publicly? None but a zany would ex-
pect, after such break, to get elected
to anything. But Frank II. Clemons
never once thought such a monstrous
| idea. He belongs to the party Of pros
perity and high wages. He has no use
for the party under whose bungling
control of government many working
men, right here in Lackawanna county,
although ready and anxious to work
have been deprived even of one dollar a
day, and have had, in some instances.
to go shelterless and without food.
There are some lies that recOil upon
the INSCRIPTIONS liars. This dollar-a-
day lie is one of them. Mark that.

A Startling Picture .

From the New York Press.
For years the government OF New York
has been a reproach and a byword in all
the centers of civilization. For years the
criminal classes, organized under the
black flag of Tammany, have ruled the
city and scoffed at the endeavors of hon
est citizens to overthrow their sway. Cor
ruption, unblushing and arrogant, has
reigned. Vice, secure under police pro-
lection, has Haunted itself in the eyes of
decency and virtue. Blackmailers their
headquarters In ~ mmany Han, the lowest
ramifcations OF their Infamous system in
the foules. dives, have talIei toll alike
from the honest merchant and the brazen
criminal.

THE FIELD OF POLITICS.

Congressman Sipe expects his majority
in Greene county to Offset Acheson's in
in Allegheny and that Washington coun-
ty viii be n standof. Whatever majority
he can get in Fayette, therefore, will be
his majority in the district. To show how
wide apart the estimates are, the Acheson
managers are counting on 1900 to $500
majority for him in Washington, and more
than that much in Allegheny, while they
claim a larger majority for Acheson in
Fayette than they concede to Sipe. The
fact of the matter Is that Sipe is hope
lesly distanccd, with all his lavish ,assess-
ments of Pittsburg federal office holders.

Some Spicy Talk in the Senate Demo-
cratic Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Senate
Democrats caucused for an hour on the
tariff bill this morning and adjourned till
later in the day.
Later developments concerning the
caucus of the forenoon are to the effect
that there was more or less reference to
an interview of Senator Brice published
in New York paper, in which he was
quoted as saying that the tariff bill to be
presented to the Senate had been shaped
by three ex-rebel Brigadiers, all of whom
were idealistS, referring to Jones, Mills
and Vest. Vest is said TO have spoken
quite sharply in reply to this statement,
and Brice to have replied with no less
feeling. Brice said he was not complain
ing of the wool schedule, but objected to
the general method of procedure, and
thought the party in the Senate should
have been consulted in shaping the bill.
While the interview of Brice was being
discussed the Ohio Senator took the floor
and said it was not so much question OF
who made the statement of the manner
in which the bill was prepared as whether
it was true or not. Several senators con-
Cured in this, and declared that the criti-
cism which Brice had made of the man
ner of preparing the bill had resulted in
bringing it before the caucus, and in that
respect great deal had been gained by
the caucus.
Among the Senators who it is asserted
concurred in Brice's statement at the
caucus are Morgan, Butler, Faulkner,
Camden and others from the South.
At $50 the caucus adjourned until to-
morrow at 10 O'Clock. after continuous
four-hour session.

Very Low Prices Realized at the Sale

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-The sale of
Australian thoroughbreds imported into
this county by r. e. De B. Lopez took
place this afternoon at the Bay District
Tract. The attendance was not large and
the bidding was spiritless and dull, not
withstanding the fact that the consign-
ment was one of the finest lot of thorough
breds ever brought together in this coun-
try. The prices realized were extraor-
binary low. 1t was expected that Ida
lium, who is considered superior to his
full brother Cheviot, for whom $50 900 has
been refused, would bring at least $40, 900,
and that Treulola, who, outside Of Maxim,
is the only Musket horses in America,
would reach about $1,000.
Following were the principal sales !:
Idalium, by Traducer, dam Idalia, sold to
A. b. Spreckels for $500; Creighton, by
Cleveden, dam Ghinni, sold to A. B.

The land officers of tis Southern Pacific
Company are delighted with the prospect
of an incoming tide. of population. The
Central Pacific Railroad land office has
received more inquiries from Eastern

OF prosperous era in California.
AGREEABLE To THE UNION PACIFIC AND
BURLINGTON ROADS.
OMAHA (Neb), Feb. 26.-The Union
Pacific and the Burlington roads to-day
decided to accept the tender of the South
ern Pacific of the rate offered yesterday
by that road to meet the cut made by the
Santa Fe.
General Passenger Agents Lomax and
Francis held d conference this morning
and agreed TO make the rOund-trip rate
from Missouri River to San Francisco
go 50 and the way rate $50, to go into
effect March lst.
This will have the effect of throwing
down the bars that so far have prevented
a big transcOntinental passenger rate

had refused to accept the rate, and the
Southern Pacific could only meet the
Santa Fe cut by the way of Ell Paso.

days, and to be placed on sale March lst.
The same rate applies to San Francisco
by way of the Rock Island to Denver,
the Denver and Rio Grande and Rio
Grande and Western to Ogden, the Cen
trail Pacific from Ogden to San Francisco
via Sacramento. This is really an addi-
tlonal cut, and will force the Santa Fe to
cut its rate from Kansas City to Los \ n

cisco passengers to reach this city for the
