Mr.. Aenrie Makes an Attempt to Make a
Denial But 1t Does Not Deny.

Since preparing my circular, Mr..
Henrie, my opponent, has prepared
reply, in which he says the cir
cular is malicious and false. He
says he was loyal to the party last
fall and travelled in various parts of
the county for different candidates,
before the general election.
Now I ask you to read my circu-
lar carefully and find if you can,
where l charged him with being
false to the ticket at the general
election. What ! accused him of
was simply this: That after Judge
Little had carried this and Montour
counties at the primaries, by an
overwhelming vote, and when
Judge Ikeler died, leaving no other
candidate in the field except Judge
Little, then this man Hcnrie went
into Montonr County and helped
Herring and Rhawn to debauch the
Democratic committee, and sue
ceeded in having that committee in
struct for Herring. That alllthrough
this corrupt and desperate attempt
to force Herring upon the Demo
cratic ticket, Henrie disregarded
the rights Of Judge Little and the
wishes Of the Democracy by insist
ing upon Herring's nomination. ]
did not accuse him Of being fol
Scarlet, but I did accuse him oftry'
ing to force Herring OH the party
and had he succeeded, Scarlet would
have been elected by 5000 majority
This all Democrats know to b'

A GARD TO TEE PUBLIC.

The story being circulated by my
opponents and some of their friends
that as one Of the school direct
ors for the Town of Bloomsbury
seconded the motion to change the
salary of the County Superintend-
ent from SIo75 to $500 at the late
convention of directors, is false in
every particular. l did not second
the motion, but on the other hand,
voted against it. This is the truth
OF the matter, and those that sat
near me will bear me out in it. II

mics will go to wrong me.

county. Mr. John G. Harman is my opponent,

The Little Red School House Must Suffer

Papers throughout the country,
as well as the educational interest
and it is an interest professionally
and hnancially-are vigorous in
criticism of the looping off Of nearly
million and a quarter dollars from
the usual appropriation for school
purposes in Pennsylvania. On its
face it may be retrograde step, but
there are good reasons in the way
of all explanation. 1t simply results
from the extravaganza and jobbery
in state government that has been
going OH for years, and for which
the Republican party and its accept
ed bosses are exclusively respons-
ible. We heard nothing of this kind
when Robert f. Pattison was Gov
ernor and guarded and protected
the financial interests of the COM
mopwealth with ability and integ-
rity, even hampered as he was at
all times by hostile Legislature.
If Geo. A. jerks had been elected
Governor we are confident that
nothing Of the kind would have
occurred.
A leading Republican paper ol
New York declares that the reduc-
ton of the school funds IS a fitting
sequel to the operations of the Quay
treasury ring, and repeats facts well
known in this State that the school
funds were diverted to pet banks
to be loaned to ring favorites. AS a
matter of fact and as a single in
stance the hundred thousand dol
lars that the late State Treasurer
directed should be loaned out o.
state funds deposited in the People.

school funds of Pennsylvania anc
in this way: AT the time there wa
default in the payment of the schoo
quota to the counties and instead o
this 500, 900 and many othe
: thousands being applied to that pur
pose, it was loaned to politician
and spectators on the orders Of tn,
Republican bosses. For years tn
school fund was plundered by thes
people or distributed as rewar,
for personal and factional purposes
The counties, deprived OF the stat
quota due them, were forced il
some cases to issue bonds to borrow
money; in others the school yea
was cut down, and again in other
the pay of teachers was reduced
And all the school funds could b

BAD bush NEGROES. u
Descendants of Fugitive Slaves in
Surinam Relapse Into Savagery.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 5.-The blush
negroes of Surinam, Dutch Guiana. have
just been calling attention to themselves
in a rather sensational exhibition OF savag-
cry, according to a newspaper pup
lished at Nickerie, in that colony These
people are to-day what the maroons
of Jamaica were century or more
ago. with this difference-that they are
the descendants of fugitive slaves, who
have completely relapsed into savage
ry making Goejaba and the other terri
tories occupied by them counterparts OF
equatorial Africa. The Dutch government
long ago concluded to let them alone.
The trouble that has just brought them
into prominence grew out or nsnlng uls-
pute Some neighhors of the Goe1aba COM
munity poisoned re fish in creek that
appears to have been common to both par
ties. The Goejabans thereupon went on the
warpath. but apparently got the worst
of it, for their village was burned and they
lost six warriors killed and many wounded
1t is not improbable that later advices VIII
bring further details of generai scrlm-
mage in that district"
The incident is important as furnishing
the Dutch authorities a pretext TO inter-
vene and bring the natives under suDJec-
ton to the laws of the colony, whose peace
they occasionally menace. As an ethnolog..
ical study, illustrating the possibilities or
the negro when left almost entirely TO him-
self, these bush negroes" have, perhaps,
not had the attention they deserve

WHAT THE ENEMY WOULD CLAIM.

Reference to the files of the Sentinel
shows that both of the elections of Mayor
Taggart were claimed In emphatic head
lines as triumphs and sweeping condemna-
tions of Republicanism. In both
Instances II was predicted that In
dtanapolis had returned to Democracy and
that the State. following in its lead, would
go Democratic in the next general election.
During the spring and summer Of 1896, when
there was so much indecision regarding the
silver issue, IL is impossible 10 estimate the
influence of the election of Mayor Taggart
the October previous upon that question If
the mayor himself had come out decidedly
for silver and sustained the presidential
candidacy of the late Governor Matthews.
On the silver issue Mr.. Taggart lost the
city because he was taken by surprise, but
push" in Marion county did not treat the
mayor civilly and put the party machinery
into other hands he was lukewarm until
late day in the canvass. The gold Demo-
Gratis holding positions under him were out
spoken against Is to 1. So many of the Re-
publicans appreciated his inactivity in 1896
that some Of them made it a pretext for
voting for him in 1897, while many others
helped him by not voting.
This year, on the eve of a presidential
election, the election of Mr.. Taggart for
third term will be heralded throughout the
country as an indication that Indiana will
turn to Bryan In 1900 and that the home of
two Republican senators. who are conspic-
uous for their support of the Presidents
policy of upholding the sovereignty of the
United States in the Philippines, has re-
buked them. The Cincinnati Enquirer will
set it forth as condemnation of the Pres
ident's policy in the Philippines and 1t
to stimulate the supporters of Mclean in
Ohio to greater effort.
As mayor Mr. Taggart has not done any
thing during the past two years which en-
titles him to the consideration of Republi-
cans. His administration has not been
characterized by business methods, while
his leading act. the purchase of the land
for the new park, is indefensible. 1t was
political rather than a business transaction.
He has used his Office to promote the in
terests OF his element of his party. On
purely business as we'll as political consid-
erations no Republican. can directly or in
directly contribute to his election for third
time.

A writer in a current magazine discusses
the extraordinary and Unsuitable interest
which the public takes in actors and
actresses" as shown by the eager purchase
of periodicals containing their photographs,
and failing to account for 1t, gives 1t up as
a deep mystery. Eut is there really such
an interest? Editors of cheap magazines
and cheaper newspapers (the modifying adj
jective not applying entirely to the sub
scription price, evidently think their patrons
are consumed with interest in stage people
and so provide portraits innumerable. An
actor. and particularly an actress. must be
obscure indeed not to be able to get their
pictures in the illustrated papers. 1t does
not matter in the least whether they have
talent or beauty or professional reputation.
As general thing they have none of these;
the public has perhaps never heard of them
may never hear of them again-and does 1t
care to hear of them or see their pictures
until they have become known? Probably
not. When they have distinguished them
selves in their calling 1t will be a different
matter. Then people will take an interest
in them: will like to read about them and
will buy their portraits. The theatrical bust
ness gives employment to a great many peo-
pie. A large number of them are young
girls who pose pleasingly for the photograph
er. but the publication of the photographs
does not give them fame. since the very
number makes 1t impossible that they should
be remembered one from another. If it
pleases these young persons to have the
pictures printed that is their own concern:
the rewards of theatrical life are not many.
and any satisfaction they can secure should
not be begrudged them. But to say. as the
magazine writer in question does. that the
public eagerly buys the papers containing
the portraits is putting the case too strong
ly. The public buys the paper or magazine
for the information or entertainment IL may
afford. and having made the purchase finds
itself confronted with these pictures. No:
there is no mystery about It. Illustrated
periodicals must have something to occupy
their pages, and stage portraits are an in
expensive and convenient filling.
