FISHER,
The Jeweler and Optician,
sI1NRT1RY PENN'A

We commend the excellent pur-
pose of our Middleburg contempor-
ary. 1t is doing the public a pro-
nounced service in seeking to have
the district properly represented in
the Legislature. But we admonish
it not to rely upon platforms unless
it knows that the candidate who
stands upon the platform is fit to be
there. 1t can hardly have forgotten
the contempt wit: which the last
Legislature treated the pledges OF
two successive State platforms.

Purer Politics Demanded.

The seeds of purer politics sown
by the Posi- during the last month
or more are already showing signs
of thrifty blossoms. The Posi- is
not afraid to tell the truth, this it
has proved over and over again. Its
devotion to truth and principles; its
antagonism to theft in public office;
its opposition to men who fail to
stand upona platform Of their own
making; its unfaltering determina-
ton to insist upon honor and inte-
gritty in public as well as private
life these are some of the cardinal
principles by which our pen will be
guided, and these are none too right
sous to receive the unqualified sup
port OF every candidate for public
Office.
Young man and you elder men,
,, too, are already being button-holed
for votes. Don't promise to vote
for any man until you are sure that
he is going to be credit to his Of
flee. BE sure that your choice for
assembly is a man who, whenhegets
to Harrisburg, will not forget his
people at home and vote and work
Tor himself. You have been deceiv-
ed too often. Be on your guard
now. Don't nominate and elect men
to Office who will rob you of the last
dollar you have. The time has come
when you must open your eyes and
are you not goingto seek honestmen
now? The time has come for re-
volt and resistance to publicplunder
and we predict that it will come and
that in this very next campaign.

Thinks the Argument UnanswerbIe

The report of Postmaster-Gener-
al Gary, embodying as it does, the
reports and recommendations OF the
assistant postmaster-general, is an
exceptionally important document.
A large part of the volume is de-
voted to an argument to our mind,
unanswerable, in favor of theprompt
institution by this country of a post
al savings-bank system. The array
of facts and figures marshaled to
show the timeliness and Importance
of this step ought to make deep
impression upon the congressional
mind. The enormous growth of the
postal money-order business, is ad-
duced as showing how the people
already patronize the postal service
tor the transmission of funds. That
they would avail themselves of it to
deposit their savings is beyond ques-
ton. Within few years the de-
posits would be counted by hundreds
of millions. The time is certainly
suspicious for the adoption of this
policy of postal savings banks
Further than that, however, it ought
to be possible to combine that policy
with some plan for the Improvement
of the currency system.-Rer'ens cj

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly bad
case Of la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took Immediate steps to
bring about a speedy cure. From the
advertisements OF Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was salts
factory in its results, is putting 1t
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hest
fancy in recommending this excellent
Cough Remedy to any one afflicted
with a cough or cold in any form. =

Away with Melancholy.

And bid dull care ayaunt, sounds very
well in verse, but II you have a case
of the ssblues" caused by Indigestion,
with blliousness added as an extra
horror, you cannot say heyl presto!
and thus insure the departure of
those abominable twins. The "prop.
er capern when thus troubled, is TO
seek the aid of Hostetter's stomach
Bitters. Thereafter you will speedily
digest with ease and eat with appe-
tite, and your liver will re-assert its
right TO regularity. Not only
this, you can retire without horrible
dread that the Washington monument
within dreams-impose itself upon
the pit OF your stomach. II you feel
premonitory symptoms Of chills and
fever, kidney trouble, or rheumatism,
summon the Bitters TO the rescue
without delay, s'lest a worse thing be-
fall you" A feeble condition OF the
system is more speedily changed to
vigorous one by this fine tonic than
by any other medicinal agent In exist
ence. A wineglassful three times a

Pertinent Pararrapbs.

Many mean men are men OF means.
A lost opportunity seldom finds its
way back.
No woman wants to be new wo-
man except an old woman.
Sin may be ugly, but 1t under
stands the art Of beauty culture.
A man seldom wears his trousers
out at the knees praying for work.
A woman has to purse up her lips
in order to carry carfare In her
mouth.
The first step toward knowledge ii
the discovery that you are innocent.
A divorced woman is entitled to the
name of widow, but she can't keep of
the grass.
Usually the people who make the
most imposing show impose on others
In order to make it.
Some people save all their sympa-
thy until man is dead then they

Oliver Stonebrakcr beat his young
wife in a most brutal manner last
night and the woman may not recoy-

thorn bush and wore them out on the
back of his helpless wife, decorating
the flesh in most horrible manner.
The long sharp thorns broke of
and her back is full Of them. He also
kicked her into insensibility. A war
rant has been issued for his arrest,
but the man has not been found.

The gossirs and wiseacres are much
concerned again about ex- President
Cleveland's future, just as they have
been at times about ex-President Har-
rison's. 1t has been said that Cleve-

at New Jerseys hands, 01t the latest
is that he desires the judicial ermine
in the same State. The probabilities
are that Mr.. Cleveland asks nothing
better than to be let alone to enjoy q

A revivalist has aroused such a
storm of religious enthusiasm at
Milledgeville, Ga, that a big bonfire
was kindled IN the streets of the city
with checker boards, cards and other
implements of worldly amusement
Unless this case shall differ from
many of its predecessors in all parts
of the world, there will be a reaction
that will make boom in that town
in the sale of the kind of articles
that were burned.

thousand Present Refreshments

Morgantown has in her time been
the scene Of many large gatherings
in social way but never was the
affair as elaborate a success on a
large scale as the reception and dance
given last night in the gym in honor
of Dir. and Mrs. Raymond and the
distinguished educators who are our
guests. Tie hall was proiusely dec
grated With flags and bunting, the
old gold and blue predominating-
The receiving committee consist
ing of those in whose honor it was
held together with the members of
the faculty and their wives were ar
ranged in scmi-circle around the
room. Over nine hundred people
passed that way. Bowers Orches-
ira, of Uniontown, furnished excel
lent music throughout the evening
Most tempting ref eshments were
served up stairs by bevy of pretty
goods. About ten o'clock the throng
became somewhat thinned out, then
dancing was in order. The music
was good, the floor like wax, and the
girls upholding their reputation for
being fine dancers Why shouldn't
it have been most enjoyable dance?
1t would be impossible to chronicle
those present. Suffice it to say the
elite OF Morgantown and vicinity
were out en- mossc. 1t was without
a doubt the largest social affair ever
given in Morgantown.
