closed by the natural growth Of the

other insects would have eaten it. 1t
must have been in there for cOnsid-

LAST week we asked why Con
gressman Robb should be renomi-
mated by his party. This week we
ask. if nominated, why should he
he elected! Has Mr.. Robb done
anything since has been in Con
rress to show that he is laboring
in the interests Of the people he
represents! Look at his record on
the tariff bill. He was not salts
fed with merely voting against the
bill. bat he spoke about the ill
iquity" of it on the floor Of the
House, and gave evidence that he
was opposed to the measure which
has already been a vast beneht to
the people of his district. Bring
it right home. The tariff on lead
has increased the price Of lead ore
to the miners of Washington Coun-
ty fully one-third since the bill be-
came law, and what is true OF
this county, in this regard, is true
of other countics in NJ. Robb's

One Of the Judges Of the St.
Louis criminal courts, while pass
inc Judgment upon man charged
with ya@rancy, took occasion to
remark that there was no longer
need for a man to plead lack of work
as an excuse for idlin@, iiitinlating
at the same time that the demand
for ordinary labor in the city was
far in excess Of the supply. The
Judges statement brought forth a
sneer Of skepticisin from the court
loungers. The ''Rcpublie,' how
ever, undertook to investigate the
matter. On interviewing employ
inc contractors, it was found that
they could give work to hundreds OF
men in carrying out contracts they
had on hand, but that there were no
applicants. This proves that if there
is an army of unemployed, 1t is IN
army if idlers from choice, and not
because there arc no opportunities
for securing employment. During
the hard times Of the past few
years many men discoreved that it
was an easy matter to secure a
living without having to work for
it. thus they cast aside their man.
hood and continue to live upon
charity. They probably consti-
tute all there is of the ''down-tr trod-
den masses to which the Bryan
ties love to point as a horrible
example resulting from the demon

CoTTON-s SEED CONGRESSMAN.
The Hon. Edward Robb, who
misrcpresents this district i'll con-
gress, is just now making a fool Of
himself in sending to many Of the
farmers in this county large bags
of cotton seed. We arc sorry to
inform the gentleman that this is
not cotton country. Whether Mr..
Robb thinks he is representing
some district in Arkansas, or
whether, when he sent the cotton
seed out he was so deeply under
the influence of the distilled cX-
tract Of corn that he did not know
where Webster County is located,
we do not know. But we arc sure
that VIC could get a better man

CHRONIC GRUMBLERS.
1t is reported that on Wednesday
J. Pierpont Morgan, of New York,
telegraphed President Mckinley
that the time had arrived to strike
boldly in the Cuban matter. If this
be true it virtually settles the ques-
ton Of war with Spain, as Mr..
Morgan is the representative of the
Rothschilds in the United States
and the President has evidently
only been waiting for wink from
that source to demonstrate to the
country that patriotism yet has an
abiding place in the official circles
of this country ry.-Lebanon Scnti-
mel.
1t is peculiar how some people
will turn all things up SO as to find
fault. During the Cleveland ad-
ministration, according to the
chronic fault finders, the whole
government was at the mercy Of
Morgan, and now he is running
this administration. If Morgan is
controlling our national affairs in
business, in peace and in war
why not abolish the Presidential
Office and Congress! The trouble
is, this fair lard of ours is infested
with a swarm of mischief making
grumblers who choose to abide in
the dark shades of misery, and
seem to flourish on a diet Of dis
content, like the vulture on car
rion.
J. Pierpont Morgan has nothing
more to do with this administration
than he did with Cieveland's, and if
he did he would be for war-even
without cause. War means huct-
uations in the prices Of stocks,
bonds, etc. If not a new issue of
bonds-and specializing in such
things is Morgan's business and the
! fluctuations are his harvest. The
Shylocks are for war, cause Or no
cause, and the substantial business
people of the Union are for war
when it becomes necessary for the
defense Of National honor, let the
cost be what it may.-Salem Re
publiean-Headlight.
