WHO IS TO BLAME.

When we stop to calmly consider,
the very remarkable statement with
which the Hanna, Mckinley combi
nat ion, st. Louis platform is over,
loa ded, one singular fact presents
tself. 1t rehearses effects-many OF
them imaginary-wi without a pr etense
of examining causes In charg ing all
of the financial ills of the country it
neglects to inform its readers that the
depression or panic OF 1898 burst over
the nation SO soon after the Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Cleveland, that it would
have been impossible for it to be caus-
ed by his administration. The rule
of radical Republicanism was still
being felt, and the influences of that
organization were still rampant. No
sane or just man would charge the
wind storm with being wholly respon-
sible for the fall of heart decayed
tree. The inside decay and corruption
must have commenced at far earlier
period. Change rather those influences
which have been for months gnawing
at the vitals of prosperity. Blame
those who instituted the cause. Be
Just.

About Tine for the sub-Editor Of the
Dispatch to Mention That He Saw the
Article in the i.Pike County Press"
EDITOR OF THE Press The min
compoop of the Dispatch wAose ig-
norance l exposed last week appears
to have been " knocked out of the
editorial chair in the first round. He
crawls under cover of a Populist
signature, and writes a letter in the
disguise of correspondent, which
proves beyond doubt, that he is a
liar and a sneak. Supposing that
the people who might read his let
ter, had not seen the castigation l
gave him, he revels in a column and
a half of lies and blackguardism, i'm
parting to my letter the dirty feat
ures which disgrace the last issue of
the Populist organ, whereas the fact
is (as your readers will bear witness)
there was not a coarse word in my
entire letter. True, the inevitable
conclusion, after got through, was
that the young sub-editor was an
over rated and conceited- ass, but I
did not say so, in those words. We
can now see the folly of trying to
overseducate a certain grade of
mental outfit. 1t recalls the old
story of the Virginia lands, the soil
of which was poor by nature and
simply 4" ruined by cultivation"
Instead of sending such lubber
to college, to strain a natural oapa-
city which might have been use
fully employed at the plough or in
the lanyard, our &c Milford graded
school " would have done all that
could have been done for so shallow
a mind. Pope must have had just
such a case in view when he wrote
"How does the fool who has been sent to
Rome,
Excel the fool who has been kept at
home ?"
Our interesting Populist ex-sub-
editor did not venture to reply to,
much less refute, any of the points
upon which 1 impaled him in my
former letter 1t was not to be ex-
pected I leave him, therefore, to
the quiet enjoyment of the situa-
tion if he can find anything in it he
likes Later on, it will occur to him,
as it did to the celebrated parrot, II
know what's the matter with me I"

Chas. A. Meyen & Co.

The only general advertising ag-
ency in the country which makes
speciality of placing matter in Ger
man papers is that of Chas. Megen
and Co., with it's honorable record of
thirty-seven years.
Chas. Meyen q gentleman of ger
man birth established this business
in 1859 under his own name, as it
continues to-day, but he has been
dead ~ years and none of his kith
and kin have ever had aught to do
with the concern, and thereby hangs
a tale.
Mr.. Chas. Maync the sole proprie-
tor of the agency, was born at Colo
gue-on the Rhine in 1s47. At the
age of six he was brought to Ameri
ca. He received his education
mostly in the composing room and
offices of the old German New York
er Demokrat, now succeeded by the
German Herald and Zeitung. While
still in the offices of that publication
he started a German advertising ag-
ency. Mark the similarity Of the
two names, Chas. Meyen and Chas.
Maync. AS a consequence there
was interminable confusion, and the
two gentlemen found it difficult to
control their mail. In 1869 they de-
termined therefore to combine for
ces and adopted the style still in use.
In the summer of 80 six months af-
ter the partnership was formed
Mr.. Meyen and his wife and a gov
erness in their employ were drown
ed at southampton, L. l. Mr. Maync
continued the old name because that
of Meyen is so much simpler and
easier to grasp than his own, especi'
ally to those who do not know Ger
man.
The agency has kept apace with
the times and enjoys as good credi
as any in the line, fact of which
it is duly proved The volume o
its trade is considerable, and by it
methods it has placed itself upon tn
most solid basis. It's offices are II
the Tribune building.

The indications are sure that Yer

and the returns show that in no

farmers who wanted to vote for free
silver.
The gains far exceed the most san

Col. Fellow. oninIon.

Col. John r. Fellows the New

Indianapolis Convention writes to
that paper, "that unless a great
number of delegates there are gross

in at least three or four States is
likely to be between the Republican
party and the Candidate of that Con-

Harry Hill, the notorious sporting
man, who for many years kept re-
sort at the corner of Crosby and
Houston streets in New York which
was visited by many people,is dead.
His death occurred at Corona, L. l.,
last Thursday. He was aged 76
years. At one time he was reported
to be worth $500, 900 but he died in
poverty, and it is a fact worthy of
note, that of all the men who have
achieved success and were under OBJ

Weekly Ending Monday, August 81,
1896-General Condition.
Both temperature and rainfall
were below the average during the
past week. These conditions have
somewhat injuriously affected the
proper maturing of late crops. Most
crops however are well advanced
and are in good condition. Corn and
buckwheat are rlpening rapidly and
will yield well. Apples are abund-
ant and of good quality. Vegetables
and garden truck are reported as
plentiful The dry condition of the
soil has retarded plowing but consi-
derable seeding has been done. Pas
lures are fair. The potato yield is
large though complaints of rotting
continue. Most of the tobacco has
been secured in good condition.

SOME FAIR PROPOSITIONS.
The Louisville Courier journal Makes
These Fair Propositions.

IheAe fatr propositions.
1. If Mr.. Bryan, or any other
human being, will show that this
. country, when it had the free coin
age of both silver and gold at the ra-
tio of 16 to 1, or any other ratio, was
ever able to bring the bullion value
of both metals to the coinage value
and keep them together, thus Sc
curing and maintaining their circula-
ton as money side by side, and pre-
venting one from expelling the other
the Courier Journal will withdraw
all opposition to the free coinage of
silver.
2. If Mr.. Bryan, or any other
human being, will show that any
nation on earth, by the free coinage
of both gold and silver at any
ratio was ever able to bring the bull
lion value of both metals to the coin
age value and keep them together,
thus securing and maintaining their
circulation as money side by side,
and preventing one from expelling
the other, the Courier-Journal will
withdraw all opposition to the free
coinage of silver.
We submit that if no nation has
ever been able to bring and keep to-
gether the bullion and coinage va
lues of the metals when those va
lues differed very little, it is prepos-
ferrous to assume that any nation
could do it to-day, when those va
lues are so wide apart.

Vermont Republicans.

The New York journal says of
the Vermont election that the Demo-
cratic state ticket sustained a crnsh-
ing defeat the Republican candidate
for Governor being elected by a
plurality over J. Henry jackson of
not less than $4,000. Never in re-
cent years has the Republican plura-
lity approached this figure.
These facts and figures should i'm
press themselves upon the under
standing of every man, be he Demo-
crat, Republican or Populist, who
hopes for the victory of the Chicago
nominees in this campaign. Their
po rtent is not to be gainsaid.

w. H. Lent who went to Easton
in search of the Professor showed a
photograph of the missing man to a
number of people including the
druggist who sold the poison to the
person whose body was found, but
none of them could identify it. It is
thought that the suicide whose body
was found at Bursonville was not
that of Matthison, and that he was
in Easton for a few days after leav-

Mauch Chunk Democrat
Evidently Judge Kirkpatrick, of Easton,
will be the Republican nominee for Con

spoken representative for the gold stand

do is to nominate a candidate equally
straight for the restoration of silver, The

they are to vote for this time.
