The Pittsburg Leoder, Republican
paper that looks at things as they appear
instead of trying to color them for the
benefit of the calamity howlers, has this
to say about the origin of the present
depressed condition of business:
'The Leadtr, while not in sympathy
with the Democratic tariff policy, has
never Joined in the declaration almost
unanimously made 10y high tariff organs
that tine panic of the present year was
caused by the victory of the Democrats
in the national election. We have en-
deavored on the other hand to make it
clear to our readers that the financial
troubles originated in events occurring
before either of the political parties had
nominated candidates; that they were
not confined to the United States, but
extended over al civilized countries, and
that they could not he stamped out by
mere legislation, except in so far as the
repeal of the unwise silver purchase law
might aid in restoring confidence.
"A Timely cOrroboration of our view
of the matter is furnished by the Pail
Mall Gazette in a review of the year :
trade in Great Britain compiled from
official returns. This report shows that
the tribulations of the United States have
been fully equaled on the other side of
the Atlantic, and that our chief com
pcditor in the markets of the world, in
stead of protiting in proportion 10 the
losses here, has had enormous losses of
its own to bear. British imports for
1898 declined nearly 500, 900 as
compared with 1892, and the exports
declined over S32, 600, 900.
"An enormous falling~off occurred in
the coal and textile trades and kindred
industries suffered correspondingly.
| The coal strike added much to Great
! Britain : embarrassment. but only in an
| incidental way. The actual cause was
| the same that led to the difficulties

cit is proper that the Democratic
party should he leld liable for its sins,

Judge Mayer has rendered an opin>

which Is of interest all over the state.
The city Treasurer Of Lock Haven said
that all the liquor license fees were paid
To the county treasurer, who got large
commission for handling the money,
and he asked the court to stop the prac~
tice. The judge decided that only the
liquor license money that belongs to the
county shall be paid to the county treas

be paid directly to the city treasurer
This opinion deprives the county treas,
