B. Franklin Grouse Passes Away

On Monday porning at about
four o'clock b. Franklin Grouse,
one of the wei! known men of the
county and an old citizen of this
town, passed away from the effects
of a stroke of apoplexy that he had
several yearsago, and which left him
an invalid from that time.
Atone time Mr.. Grouse was a sue
cessful mail route contractor of the
Star routes, and made money. He
at one time had about all the routes
in this county, but of late years he
over reached in the mail contract
business, and lost money and gave
his bondsmen trouble.
Mr.. Grouse is survived by thret
sisters and two brothers, Daniel and
Jerry Grouse, both of this county.
The funeral will take place on
Thursday at 2 o'clock p. m, from
the late residence. His age was
about 63 years.-.Selinsgrore Times

The Scientific American states that
the venerable bogey of the crystalliza-
ton Of steel and iron in bridge struc-
lures is persistently trotted out. 1t is
probable that large percentage of the
passengers daily crossing Brooklyn
bridge believe that the metal of tho
bridge is deteriorating - "crystalliz-
ing"-and that the wire cables, unless
they are renewed, will in the course of
time give way and precipitate the whole
bridge into the river. Tests in the Ia
boratory and half century's tests in
the field, supplemented by the recent
careful tests made by Prof. Carpenter,
Of Cornell, prove that this view is no
longer tenable. There Is no reason
why, with careful inspection to pre-
vent oxidation by the weather, the met
al Of such structures as the Brooklyn
and Forth bridges should not last as in
definitely as II 1t lay imbedded in the
ore from which II was extracted.

ADAMS MITHDRAWS.

Josiah Il. Adams, the nominee for
Judge of the Superior Court, last
Wednesday withdrew as a candidate
on the Republican ticket. The
stimulus that lead to this hasty re-
treat was thepublicationin in the Phila-
delphla North Americonof some very
serious charges against the American
Investors Company of which Mr..
Adams tor quite a time was the pre-
sident. Whether Mr.. Adams pro-
fitted by these shady transactions or
not has not been shown, but while
Mr.. Adams denies having received
any profit from these illicit transac-
tions, the public is at liberty to
think Tor themselves on this import
ant point. Mr.. Adams in his letter
of withdrawal says that he is willing
to sacrifice personal ambition for the
good ofthe party. This is certainly
a commendable position to take, but
it still will not compel the public to
believe that he was entirely innocent
1t is unfortunate that political lead.
ers either do not study and under
stand tie characters Tor public Office
or else are willing to defy public
opinion to such marvellous extent
The leaders, however, have showr
good judgment in retiring Mr.. Ad.
ans, as no man should be on the
bench against whom there should bt
even a shadow of suspicion, even
though he is innocent. The time
has come when the bench should be
above the slightest inclination of re-
proach and the people of Pennsyl-
vania owe a debt of gratitude to the
North american for getting Mr.. Ad-
ans off the ticket. There is not an
other newspaper in existence that
won such laurels and accomplished
their aim in less than three days.

mittee of the State metin Philadel-

Stealing a State.

1t Is hard TO contemplate the efforts
now being made IN kentucky 10 steal
the vote of that State without feeling
of resentment. The same desperate
and lawless element that deprived
Bryan Of an honest majority Of $4,000
votes in 1896. is at work now deter
mined to seat the Republican candi-
date regardless OF whether he was
elected or not. We say this advisedly.
as the following facts will testify: In
two or more Republican counties it's
sue ballots were used in direct viola
ton OF the constitution, and as a result
these counties -.piled up Republican
majorities with lavish extravaganza
for so small a voting population" as
tersely expressed by a local paper. In
another instance the voting talley
sheet as passed upon by the board Of
election officers was destroyed by the
Republican members and the ballot
box returned empty. The Democratic
officers were threatened with arrest by
T. S. Deputy Marshals if they inter
fered. That precinct gave Goebel 160
votes and Taylor SO. Stuffng of ballot
boxes in all the Republican precincts
of Louisville was freely indulged in.
regardless of the protests of the Dem
oeratic election officers and cballeng-
ers. these being intimidated by the
presence OF deputy marshals and Re
publican State militia The same
thing was done in Covington and other
cities. Governor Bradley, who seems
to have rot the slightest regard for
la~ or common decency. stationed
militia in Louisville and Covington-
and doubtless elsew here-on election
day, and made a needless display OF
marching and concentrating them on
the streets for the purpose of intini-
dating voters, Democratic members of
the militia force having previously
been disarned and sent home Re-
garding this outrageous usurpation OF
unauthorized power By the Governor,

Republicans realize that they are
losing ground with the people.
No less an authority than Former
Speaker Reed admits this fact.
In his recent speech before the New
York bankers, Reed said:
1.-TWO years ago the candidate in Ohio
who represented the gold standard re-
ceived 526.000 votes and all his OPP
ponents received 4s6. 600. That was
10000 majority. This year the re-
publican candidate bad bat 49. 900 plu-
rality, while third candidate had
106, 900 votes
The fact that there was a majority
of 50, 900 votes in the presidents own
stale against the administration policy
has frig ghtened Reed.
With great popular protest against
the gold standard. Reed thinks that
the only safety for millioDaires is to
force gold legislation through the next
congress.
This is remarkable confession of
weakness.
In it there is comfort for democracy.
There is promise of victory at the ma
tional election OF 1900.
With William j. Bryan as standard
bearer. with united ranks. with oppo-
sliion to Imperialism. trusts and mODo-
metallism the democracy can march on
to success.
Let the democrats begin now TO or
ganize- Let them hasten to unite tha
factions in the party. With great is-
sues before them let minor differences
be ignored and solid front be pre-
senied to the foes of the people Chi-
