Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-11-07

The Ledger and others equally un-
friendly, a very short time ago, have,
in similar way, changed their minds
and are giving now, some of them
grudgingly, 1t is true, but all so that
the wayfaring man can understand,
their belief that Mr.. jerks Is the COM
ing man.
Now, collate with this the coming
to Mr.. jerks support of the Pittsburg
Leader, the leading Republican even
ing paper of that city. The Dispatch,
of Pttsburg, the best known independ-
ent Republican paper of the state. was
already with him. On Oct 90 the
Leader said:
"The parade of city and county en-
ployes last night in honor of the Re-
publican state ticket was necessarily
great in numbers, for the payrolls are
extensive, but 1t was curiously flu
nereal in character. AS the long lines
Ef officeholders trooped down Fifth ave-
nue. the lack of enthusiasm not only
among the unlocking crowd, but among
the marchers themselves, was painful
ly apparent. No cheers, no campaign
battle cries. no hearty greetings and
sympathetic plaudits. Had the cortege
been en- route to a cemetery to at
tend the performance of the last sad
rits over the remains of Quay Republi-
canism in Pennsylvania its aspect could
not have been more woebegone nor it's
reception at the hands of the beholders
more frigldly doleful. If such mani
festations are as good a criterion as
they are commonly deemed to be there
is no escaping the conclusion that the
heart and soul of Pittsburg are very
far from being in the Quay Republican
campaign. A few 'frosts like that of
last night ought to suffice to nip anv
boom beyond repair"

terests. He was faithful to every OBJ
legation, and retired from office fol-
lowed by the sincerest well wishes OF
his political opponents, to whom he had
set the highest example of personal
and official honor.
I'm the present crisis it is our duty,
as citizens, regardless of partisan
views, to unite in support of candi-
date for governor who thus embodies
every essential requirement, and no
good citizen can be excused from see
ing clearly and acting intelligently and
courageously. The election of Mr..
Ienks to the governorship would be one
of the most notable triumphs in the
cause of true patriotism In the annals
of the country. Stand up for him, and
see that your neighbor understands
what manner of man he is, and also
comes to his support with his voice and
his influence and his ballot Let there
be mighty unification of the right
eous sentiment of good citizenship. The
opportunity to elect such a man as mir.
jerks as the guardian and defender of
the peoples rights at the state capital
is too rare to be overlooked or neglect
ed. The duty is imperative. Let par
tisan lines be obliterated, anAlet the
enemies of honest government be over
whelmed. Rally for jerks and reform,
and save our noble state from another
era of misgovernment and public rob-
berry and disgrace

PUBLIC PRINTING.
half Million Year Wasted on Padded
State Reports.

The cost to the state in 1883 of print
ers' supplies, printing and publishing
of all books, documents and papers eX-
cept the Legislative Record, the cost
of which is contained in a special Item
was $2S1,S0S, the appropriation cover
ing the years 1888 and 1884.
The cost of same during the entire frs,
term of Governor Pattison was $605, 1868
and this with an extra session on his
hands.
Beaver succeeded Pattison in 1887,
and under his four years rule the cost
was swelled to $910,216.
Pattison succeeded Beaver in 1891,
and despite the opposition of a Re
publican Legislature and the printers
lobby, he knocked off 500, 900 from the
printers bills as paid under the ad-
minstration of his predecessor.
Hastings succeeded Pattison in 1895
and the bills for public printing for his
full term, as per estimate of the state
treasurer, will amount to s1,19O, 9S4, and
a scandalous case in court involving
the payment of another sum of $63, 900.
These are the facts, and when taken
in connection with the steals all along
the line of the departments they GER
for serious and upright citizens.
To swell the printers bills the de-
partment reports have been padded,
useless and expensive pictures costing
in several instances $500 per page have
been inserted, and the number of copies
of the reports allowed by law to be
printed has been increased by substi-
tuting two volumes of report for one.
Il 1T, l. 4.
ods is useless unless it comes in the
form of protest at the battle of the
ballots.
The voters pay the bills, and If they
like the robberies, well and good. How
ever they resent them, they will find
in George A. jerks a man who will
respect their wishes and uphold their
demands for reform.

NERVY BICYCLE THIEF.
Picked Out Good Wheel in the
Meals Building Corridor.

A bicycle thief with a caSt-iron nerve
walked into the corridor of the Mears
building yesterday and picked out a
wheel to his liking, mounted it and
rode away. An elevator boy who knew
the owner of the wheel asked him if he
had loaned it to "a buck wild a wife
at" The question suggested the theft
and the thief was captured after a
spirited chase.
George w. Marshall was the owner
of the wheel. When he realized that it
had been stolen he and Mr.. Dainty, a
law student, took through passage on
an elevator and reached the street in
time to see the wheel and the rider
with a white hat disappearing around
the corner Of Washington avenue,
headed down Lackawanna. Marshall
and Dainty gave chase and We're led up
Wyoming avenue, where Detective
Moir Joined in the hunt. They caught
their man on Spruce street, near the
Dime bank building.
At the police station the prisoner de-
scribed himself as George Smith, of
Philadelphia. He said he was a cab
driver and had been employed by A.
p. Watson, liveryman, of Eleventh and
Market streets. He had been in Scran-
ton and Pittston five days he said, and
had "a girl in Dalton" The latter fact
may account for a postmarked envelope
in his possession addressed to m. j.
Leasch, Dalton, Pa" and bearing the
| printed card of the senders, "Kunke
| Bros, HazletOn, Pa" 1t was dated
| Feb. s.
Smith had on three suits of clothes
| two shirts and two sets of undercloth-
ing A bundle he carried contained two
| negligee shirts and a pair of socks
The new outside suit he said he bought
| of Lauer & Marks. That story vii
be investigated today. He is an easy
person to identify, as he has a small
sharp featured, smooth face, big seal
on his right jaw and two missing joints
of a left foretinger. He was evasivc
in answering Detective Moir's ques
tions concerning his movements sine,
he arrived in Scranton.

The expense to the government by the
establishment of the district will be in
considerable. In the first place there are
no new court buildings to erect. We
have one in Scranton, they have one In
Williamsport and there Is one In l1ar-
risburg, the three places where the court
is to be held. They have no federal
courts at Harrisburg as yet and never
have had nor ever will, unless some
such bill as this passes. But with great
faith i'm the future the building there
was provided with all the court facilities
except the mere furnishings.
One word as to how the district Is put

three recognized railroad and CONNER
