Gresham's Americanism.

But the Americanism of the secretary
was shown in it's brightest light in three
incidents that occurred during his admin
istration, and the fact in two of the three
he had to contend with great powers in
dicateS that he made no distinction when
the time came to claim rights for his own
country. The first of these cases. while
attracting little attention at the time, was
really of great Importance, for 1t amount
ed to declaration to Europe that the
United States would not permit private
claims to be collected from American re-
publics where our citizens had pecuniary
interests. This was the case at San Do
mingo, when the French warship which
had come there to enforce the collection
of a private claim was withdrawn after
a very strong hint from Secretary Gresh-
am, conveyed through Ambassador Eus-
tbs. that the United States would regard
such a course as an unfriendly manifesto
ton.
Again in Bluefields, when the British
marines occupied the bluffs, they were
promptly withdrawn when Secretary
Gresham called upon Great Britain for an
explanation of their landing and securing
a disclaimer of any wrong purpose.
And again when the Spanish govern
ment undertook to stop an American
steamer by a cannon shot, Mr.. Gresham
called for and secured a very prompt
apology.

Thinking Aloud.

Talking TO ones self is generally
considered sign of week brain,
SAID a medical authority recently,
but nothing could be greater mis-
take. 1t is sign OF an extremely
active brain. 1t may be Il strong or
weak intellect, but the activity
must be there to cause this peculiar.
lty. If you will observe you will be
astonished how many people you
will meet on the street who are
thinking aloud. The talking is done
nnconsoiousiy. Often the people
addicted TO the habit, if you call
their attention TO it, would aver that
they never were guilty of such q
thing. Some Of the brightest men !
have ever known do their thinking
aloud without knowing it, and on
the other hand, some OF tho weakest
individuals, mentally, whom 1 have
met in my practice keep up n contin
uous conversation with themselves.
So it would see:a that man who
talks to himself must be one of two

The Wyoming Democrat took ex-
ccptions at what we saidiI our issue
of January 25th regarding compia'
ints made by Mr.. Day relative to the
change OF court crier aud tipslaves
of said county, by Judge Eunhan
and his associates. Mr.. Day is APT
TO take exceptions at most anything
that reflects upon his politics ano
we do not blame him for this, either
If we were Of his belief regarding
the pensioning of Union soldiers,
free trade and the running OF indus
tries and labor in this country, we
should awfully dislike to have it,
even whispered in public. The
Democrat says we are black with
Republicanism-a credit to us, and
all who have read the doings OF this
administration and the pugilistic en-
counters in the House of Congress
will agree with US. Brother Day
says: "Wc did not know before that
tile spoils system was enforced IN
our courts of justice. Had Mr..
Day been resident Of Sullivan
county for the past few years he
could not have truthfullv made this
assertion. The court crier here is
John K. Farrell, q solid Democrat
and the tipstaves are-Lawrence
Lowry and Peter Hopper, both
Democrats, and our Republicans
did not complain of these appoints
ments, either. They felt that they
were all right and tnat the friends
of the party in power should be first
served. 1t is now our turn to be
served first in Wyoming county and
we glory in the change and appreo
ciate the good material in the asso-
ciate judges of Wyoming county.
Mr.. Day says that one Of the three
men removed was Republican.
What right has he TO complain of
this removal? Had he been of

Of the other two as cripples and
does not refer to their politics,

the Republican party, in fact nearly
all of the old soldiers who returned
home from the army with leg, arm
or some other member OF his body
by bullets, are Republi-
cans. They don't vote the ticket
that the johnny Rebs do, MIR.
Day concludes thus, which is fair
example Of the points made in his
quarter column article. Here it is

Our readers will find in this issue
of the REPUBLICAN,, n list of appli~
cants applying Tor license at this
term OF court. There are four new
applicants in the list, viz: William
Collins, Cherry; Warren n. and c..
B. Pennington, Muncy Valley; j. H.
Stackhouse, Shrewsbury; and e. f.
jackson, Cherry. There are large
pumber of people in the county who
advocate that all who ask for license
should receive it, providing the APP
plicant is suitable man and his
petition properly signed and his
bondsnen good. In our mind there
should be exceptions. For instance
were you engaged in the lumber
business or any other business, hav>
ing in your employ large force of
men; would it be right for the court
to grant you license ? Would it
not be temptation to the men in
your employ to indulge more in
drink than they otherwise would if
they were to open their pocket book
on each occasion ? We think yes;
and for this reason we are sincere in
our belief that no man in business,
employing Il force Of men should be
granted license by any court.
The new Catholic church at this
place, was completed last week, and
is very pretty edifice. As yet, the

piece of furniture will be purchased
at distance and will, no doubt,
compair favorably with the architect
and construction Of The church.
Laporte now boasts Of having the
prettiest church in the county, ad-
mitting however, that there are more
costly ones. The Dushore Catholic
church cost more money than did
the Laportc. We also concede the
fact that the Eagles Mere Episco-
palian, was more expensive, but they
can't compare in beauty with the
Laporte church. FIR. Enright's eye
in the way of architecture, was SUI
perior to the other "fellows."

The County Statement published
elsewhere in the REPUBLICAN,. pre-
scnts very favorable showing fol
our Board of mmissioners. The
reader will notice that in tie columns
of the Financial condition Of Snlli-
van county for the year ending Dec
81, 1894" that the resources in eX-
cess of liabilities is 81 ,945.71. Ills
true however, that the eX-hoard o1

will notice in the column headed
''new court house and jail-statemen'

have been paid in lS93D" The sta
ement enclosed in parenthesis is not
correct, in as much as the bridge
was not completed at the expiration
OF the term Of the old board of com
missioners, hence, how could they
consistently make the last payment:
Were they to pay for cat in the

sionels examined the structure and
approved Of the same. We think
this statement on the part of the
auditors. unjust to the eX-board OF
commissioners. Auditors should
not be led in these little statements.
They should learn the correctness
of them before Inserting them in
their report, as every letter and
iigure placed therein by these officials
are looked upon as correct in every
detail.
The bonded Indebtedness Of the
county is S33 10000. The court
house cost $24. 10000 and the archi-
tect 5 per cent Of the total cost Of
building making sl,220. plus the
cost of court house is $25 ,620. hence
this leaves a balance of 81 $4,000
which is the difference between the

and the total cost of the court house.
