succeeded in placing q loan of fy,
million dollars in London at 81 pc
cent.
THE past month the National gov
eminent ran heavily behind. Its ex
panses were a million and a quarter
dollars day more than its income
all on account of the Democratic Re
form tinkers.
HASTINGS is IN Office six months
and III that time tie only thing tha!
he has done is TO distract the Ropub
Ecan party. As distractor ne is a
success. He is success as multi
plier of offices.
If the people of Pennsylvania had
known Hastings last fall as they
know him now, he would have been
defeated for Governor, despite the
depressing times that the pluudering
Democratic Congress saddled upon
the country. Hastings joined the
contractors and city traction combine
willingly. The Democrats wrecked
the business by tariff tlnkering.
Which Is the worst, an ignorant par
ty or tricky party.
The women ere not all angels as is
proven by the wife Of Richard Fl.
Mcdonald Of San Francisco. Rich
ard embezzled bank funds, was caught
and placed in Jail. He gave his wife
ten thousand dollars TO pay for legal
defense. She thought it best not
to waste the money on a man like
Richard and ran a"ay with the funds
and as The Chinaman says: ''no pay
ee, no lawyer. and that is the way
with Richard; no payee legal fees, no
lawyer.
Ir is the first time in the history
of the Commonwealth that the city

combined against the country All

Of the city politicians of Philadelphia
and Pittsburg ulder the lead of such
men as Martin, Porter and Magee,

were at work organizing against the
country interests They struck at
the Granger and every other country
interest that did not sui. them, and
when they won Hastings over to their
side by such means as they them
solves know. they come out boldly
and make Hastings their cats paw to
pull the chestnuts that they want out
of the fire.
The Hastings, Porter. Martin, Ma
gee combine make the excnse for
their movement to crush Qlay that
the Senator defeated the apportion
ment bill. 1t is the first time that
the Governor and his masters have
made fuss over the failure OF the
Legislature to pass an apportionmept
bill If The Philadelphia and Pitts
burg combine had not passed the
bill so as to particularly beDetit those
cities, they could have had the coop
GRAFTON of the country and Senator
Quay. 1t WAS the unjust greed of
the cities that brought about the de-
fea: of the apportionment bill. Hast
ings seems to have gone over bag
and baggage to the side of greed.
The cities are getting to be like the
corporations. They want everything,
and so strong and insolent have they
become that they pulled the Cover

WHAT 4 sorry sight, the Governor
