The New York Sun is one of the most rabid goldbug organs in the country and is opposed to about everything that Sen ator Morgan favors, yet in reply to the charge that Morgan is a lingo, it says:
 The man who is such jingo, may be proud of hims self. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Webster, and every stalwart lover of the United States more than of other countries, has been j,ngo like Senator Morgan. And the more Ameri- cans like him today the better.
 A senator who can command such sen- timen's from leading representative of the goldbug, conservative, banking inter- ests of the country, while opposing them with the force of ability, is not of the or dinary mold. Many who are unable to appreciate one who towers above the lit tie time servers who constitute the larger part of the office holding class, take pleasure in calling Morgan a jingo, but he can well aff ord to pass their criticisms in silence. He has been one of the com manding figures in public life for many years and is entitled to the respect and admiration of hIs fellow citizens. He is a true American.-Butte Miner

The sacred privilege of minister and magistrate who marry people to kiss the bride was rudely interfered with at Sherbyville, Ind, last week. Charles Comlin and Daisy Johnson were made one by Squire Thomas Kenton and the jurtice saluted Mrs. Comln in the good, old Hoosier fashion. Then Comlin gave the squire Diff in the eye and refused to pay for the services just rendered. So Squire Kenton is out a doctor bill and 5$ note

COMPARISONS.

There are some minds constructed
like interrogation points, always
asking questions. The Press is not
exactly built on this line, but there
are some things it would like to
know-one for instance.
April 9, 1896, the Commissioners
of Pike County let IL bridge in
Lehman township called the Snyder
bridge, the dimensions, cost and
contractor of which were as follows
Length, 35 feet roadway, ~ feet
height of truss, 81 feet weight per
lineal foot, 400 pounds rolling load
capacity, 1900; channel, inches
needle beams, 16 inches ioists, 6
inches plank, inches thick. Price,
5000. Built by the Groton Bridge
and Manufacturing Company. 1t
was let after bids. Distance to near
est railroad station about Is miles.
March 20, 1897, two of the Com
missioners, the other being sick and
unable to be present, let a bridge

dimensions, cost and contractor of
which were as follows Length, 35
feet roadway, IA feet; height of
truss, 5 feet weight per lineal foot,
400 pounds; rolling load capacity,
l, 400 pounds; channels, A inches /;

about 10 miles. The Snyder bridge
cost 1857 per foot, the Bloom
ing Grove bridge cost s12.7O per
foot or $4.1S more per foot and $145
more total than the former. Won t
somebody be kind enough to tell the
Press why
The answer need not necessarily
be accompanied with an affidavit.

THE USE OF AFF1DAvIrs.

In the Port Jervis Union of June
11th, an article on Pike county fin
ances appears. 1t is with the senti-
ment only that we are concerned.
The Press desires that the taxpayers
of the county shall be fully informed
of the facts regarding the conduct
of our affairs and our officials. 1t has
no desire to involve insinuations
or what may be so construed" by it's
questions. If plain statement of
a fact seems to thus reflect on the
management of our finances by the
officials, the people who draw the
differences have a right to such e5;
plantations as may be reasonable and
proper A denial Of bribery by afi-
davits does not cover the grounds.
The " Pike County Taxpayer
avails himself of such refutation.
We do not recall an instance in this
county where such a course hG4l

tlinly could notbe accused of pre-
ferring charges of misfeasance in of
fee or of corruption in the conduct of
any one, and if the officials could
not thus satisfy the public mind,
We submit that all the af1ldavits
which could be crowded into space
b 3tween Dan and Beersheba would
not do So
The people of Pike county are
shrewd and intelligent, and we
think fair, aud if the facts are pres
e lted, are fully capable of forming
their own judgments and drawing
their own conclusions. Stacks of
af1idavits procured of bridge agents
AMI published with or without their
consent will not alone satisfy Pike
county taxpayers.

If farm prices do not stop advanc-

their downward course, there will
be nothing left to sustain the chief
theory of the free coinage orators of
last fall that prices of products kept
pace with those of silver. Leading
farm products have increased in
price from 80 to 100 per cent. since
this beautiful theory was exploited
ON the stump last fall, while the
price of silver has meantime stead
lily decreased.

SIX BUILDINGS BURNED.
PRATT CITY VISITED BY A VERY
 COSTLY BLAZE.
The Loss Estimated at About $22, ,0OO With Very Light nsurance-Originated
 in Stobert & Co.'S Store.

Pratt City was visited by a very de- structive fire yesterday afternoon, result ing in the destruction of several business houses, entailing considerable loss.
 The fire originated in the business house of R. R. Stobert & Co. It was first discovered in the roof. The flames soon consumed the entire building and nearly all of it's contents.
 The flames then caught the brick block of Dr. George w. Brown, consuming it and then attacking the Pratt City bank building. This, too, was soon consumed.
 Cook & Jackson's general store was the next building burned, followed by pr. J. B. Staggs drug store.
 The people, what few remained owing to the great influx of citizens into this city, made gallant fight, but could do but little toward checking the flames.
 Before succeeding doing so Dr. R. K. Smiths place of business became a victim of the flames. The damages, as well as could be learned, were as follows:
 R. R. Stobert & Co.,. loss s15,O00; in- surance SS,500.
 Dr. G. W. Brown, s2,5oo; insurance small.
 Pratt City bank. s9; insurance, s4oo.
 Dr. R. K. Smith, $700; insurance not learned. Hf

 pr. J. B. Stagg, not known.

IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
Two Muchly Wanted Men Captured by Police Officers-Said to Have Com
 mitted Many Burglaries.

Early Sunday morning Officers Ellard, Johnson and Mcknight headed by Capt. Wier, arrested Will Thomas and Gus Roby for burglary and grand lar ceny. The two men are negroes and rather new on=s on the local officers.
 For the past two weeks 1t was almost a nightly occurrence for house or store house to be burglarized and in every in- stance the robbers were successful in get- ting some articles of value and, at the same time, they left no tangible clue. In rapid succession the residences of MT H. Mcdonald, white, and Sallie Taylor, Cue Adams, and Joe Brown all colored, were burglarized. Other places met the same fate and the occurrences were reported to the officers.
 Sunday morning the above policemen arrested the two negroes and locked them up in the city prison. Among the prop erty, a great dsal of which is still un- claimed and unidentified, was the follow ing: A gold thimble, breast pin and a pair of pearl and gold opera glasses taken from the residence of H. Mcdonald. An overcoat from SaHie Taylor's house. A gold watch lost by Gus Adams One hamm@rless 3S-calibre Smith & Wesson, blue steel revolver, the property of Val entine Glib, Jr. One razor, value of $S. S.5O, stolen from Joe Brown. All of the
