Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1894-01-24

The Cleveland administration is re.
forming the tariff in Congress, and
preparing to issue more bonds.
SUPERINTENDENT of Public Ins.ruc-
ton Schaeffer is agaist the proposed
Compulsory Education Law. Good.
SENATOR PETER of Kansas, and
Senator Allen of Nebraska, declare
that Secretary of the Treasury Car
Isle has no right under the law to
issue bonds, and that his proposed
bond issue will be null and void
RrCH gold bearing rocks have been
found in Mashonaland in South East
ern Africa. There is said to be gold
enough there TO give every !inhabi-
tant of the world $4,000 each. That
is the land from which King Solomon
Of Bible fame got his gold.
AK action will be brought in the
Supreme Court OF the District of Col
umbia to enjoin Secretary Carlisle
from issuing new United States
bonds TO receive gold for the U. S.
Treasury. 1t is claimed that the
Secretary hss no right under the law
to issue such bonds.
The Democrats have majority in
Congress, but so many of the mem
bers of that party want to dodge the
responsibility of voting on important
questions that the speaker has TO
send out and arrest the members and
have them brought in to secure a
quorum with which to do business.
JUDan LUCIAN W. DoTY, of West
moreland county, had case before
him TO decide between two theatrical
Companies in his part of the State,
who refused to pay the tax or license
Of $50 for every time they show, in
addition to the annual county show
license. The Judge decided that the
county treasurers, are required un
der the set OF 1915, TO collect $50
from every show that comes along
unless they have papers to prove
that they have paid State license of
81 900. 1t is hard on the show bus
mess, and there will b. few travelling
shows in Pennsylvania this year
The act was passed during the hard
times of 1845 when the State was
largely in debt. L was passed to
make showmen help pay pant of the
taxes Of the Commonwealth.
If the Democrats in Congress
would let the tariff question slone,
the gold reserve would soon recover
itself, and there would be no need of
al issue of bonds. If the tariff ques-
tion had not been touched treasury
would have ful! supply Of gold for
the imports would not have been
lessened. Importers will not bring
goods into the country under a pro
tective tariff when the democracy
threaten to take off the tariff, for
that would bring in goods with low
er tariff, and the men who had I'M
ported under higher tariff would !
be the losers. The Democratic
threas to lower the tariff has stopped |
importation and as it is upon the i'm
ports that gold is raised that threat
has reduced the gold income of the
government. SO the Cleveland ad
ministratiOn with their tariff tinker
ing have stopped both the gold rev
enue, and have closed the manufac
turing establishments.
The prize fight between bruisers
Corbett and Mitchell, is expected to
take place this week in Florida, for
large stake of money. While the
American people do not approve of
such brutal business, they wish Cor.
bett success, because he is an Amer
can. Mitchell is an Englishman, and
IN the language of the boys who en-
Joy rooster fights, he is wheeler
that is, he is like a rooster that
stands up for peek and knock, and
then runs aud wheels and takes an
other peck and knock, and so on to
the end of the fight, and sometimes
wins in that way. Mitchell, is a
wheeler of a bruiser. He spars,
wheels and dances around the ring, t
and spars, keeping his opponent fol
lowing all the while, and occasionally
blow. Such is the bis
tory of his past prize fights. Cor
bett doubtless is acquainted with
the whselers tactics, and has prepar
ed himself accordingly.
