A Golden Wedding Anniversary

A correspondent from Gibisonville
sends us the news that on Nov. 9Th
Orpheus Ogle and his good wife vii!
celebrate the golden anniversary Of
their marriage. Our correspondent
don't invite the SENTINEL. We know
this is an oversight. But we invite
ourselves, and no preventing Provi-
dence, in the language of Harry AL
len, some of US "weuns will be thar"
Orpheus Ogle is an old citizen of
our county. He is an old time pa
tron of the SENTINEL. His name
was on the list when we took charge
twenty-three years ago. and it will
be there when we gyie up our work
to younger and abler hands. He and
his helprnate have had the hard rows
to hoe in life. They have had the
troubles incident to the early pioneer
of this country, but they have pulled
through together, and have got out of
the woods, and are out in the clear
ing, out in the open. The rough
roads have been passed; the conten-
tions have been met and settled, and
now in the twilight, in the Indian
Summer of their lives, in that quiet,
soft and solacing time, when Nature
once more before the chill, warns
the air, softens the winds and paints
the field and forest in the robes of an
exrectant resurrection, those good
old people, with lifetime neighbors,
all now friends, meet to celebrate
the tiftieth anniversary of their mar
riage.
With the many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ogle, The SENTINEL joins in
hearty congratulations, on the COM
ing anniversary, and unites in the
earnest wish that many more ami
versaries may come to them, as happy
as the one they are about TO cele,
brate.

THE action of indiscreet friends of
Oliver Wright, or mischievous enc
mics of his and of our party, have
been attempting 10 make ".Frades" in
this canvass. Mr.. Wright disclaims
to be a party to any such conduct,
and his friends are advised that such
proceeding is tainted by political
treason and personal dishonor. The
man who proposes "Trade" in pol
itics is either a fraud or fool him
self, or he regards the man to whom
he makes the proposition, fool or a
fraud. A man who is not loyal to
his party, in campaign where hon
or is the highest essential to the office
sought, can not be trusted anywhere
or in anything, and the fellows who
are Grading" or trying to accom-
pllSu SuCll ulSuOuOi 1olC tilCnoI s1iS
not worthy of public confidence, and
hurt themselves more than those
against whom their snaky venom is
directed. Mr.. Wright and Judge
Slough are honorable men. They
ask an honorable canvass, and when
elected, as both will be by ovewhel-
ming majorities, they will not feel
that any stain of dishonorable con-
duct attaches to them or can be
thrown in obloquy in their faces
when they sit as judges on the Bench.
The pea nut politicians who are
talking and proposing trouble in
this instance, as in any instance, are
advised to "come off, =
They can't play the snake in this
country long, until the trail is dis
covered, and then it won't be long
until a heel is put on their head.
There is always an election to fol-
low the one that closes, and there are
vigils long with those who keep an
eye on passing men and events.

The Hannacratic press is helping
Mr.. Bryan's campaign along by its
blackguardism and scurrility. Not

City Lighting by Natural Gas,

From Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
The parks of Cincinnati are likely
to be lighted in the futur eby gas. The
first move in this direction was made
yesterday when City Electrician Cab
OF reported to the Board of Admin
istration that the electric construction
for lighting Lincoln Park is in an ex-
tremely dangerous condition.
The poles are decayed, and la
BILE to tall any day, and the insulation
of wires is off where they run through
the trees in many PLACES, making
them liable to virtual electrocution.
He thinks it would cost about 500
to put them in good condition, but
Mr.. Cabot does not think that cleo
tricity is the proper thing to light
the parks with. He recommended in
stead that fitty-four gas lamps to be
placed in this park, at an estimated
cost of s1,e04.o7 in all, and that
Welsbach burners be placed theron.
The reason for the choice of burn
was the fact that all the makes have
been tested and this seems best fitted
to park Lighting. He stated that all
big parks in the East are now using
gas for lighting purposes in parks,
and, as the gas lamps will cost only
about $50 per year, the consumption
of gas being very small and much
cheaper than electricity, the Board
approved the suggestion, and order
the work done.

Our troubles at present is to find room for the
Avalanche of New Goods which have been and is
still flowing iuto our store. Although we have
added Large Addition to our store room, we
are crowded for space The goods were not
bought for shop-keepers but for the mutual accom-.
odatlon of the people of Hooking and adjacent
counties and ourselves. The Stock is so Large

Sir: Will you kindly tell by what popular

vested with regal authority In New-York State. so
that he openly assumes the functions OF a dictator
and publicly expresses himself being angry that
the Assembly OF the State OF New-York has not
passed the Greater NewYork bill any other bill?
Under ordinary circumstances. in connection with
a bill not considerably opposed the action would
not be remarkable. But this show OF temper
the part of private citizen. because the popu-
larry chosen legislators have not. in obedience to
his wishes. repassed bill in defiance OF the wishes
OF 100000 OF the governed. expressed by the
Mayors Of the chief cities concerned. Is piece
of bossistic effrontery that should not pass un-
challenged 1t is sign that bosslsm has reached
the point OF tyranny. And So sir. as one OF the
people. wishing disaster to the Republican
party Git will come II this bill Is passed.. and wish
ing a government for the people, say II is time
for the people to cry Down with the tyrant,'
That is the feeling of Brooklyn to-day. ex
pressed by mu'titudes OF her most conservative
citizens. Down with Thomas c. Platt or any other
boss who has the intolerabe audacity 10 exalt his
personal wishes above the expressed will OF the
people. BKOohLlN.
