BRIEF 7ENTION.

The stock of wall paper at the Old

both in quality and price, of any stock

low himself ?-Phila. Inquirer.

Ye editor and wife passed Saturday
and Sunday at Eldred. We were
pleased to note that Eldred is on the
gain and business generally in that
busy little town is picking up. Their
wide-awake Board of Trade have
secured number of important indus
tries, among them a glass plant. For
eign capitalists have secured the right
to lay water line for fire and domestic
purposes and have made a contract
with the Borough Council to supply
for $500 per year. Eldred will get
there yet.
The Potter Democrat has entered
upon it's sixth year and the kind words
of praise bestowed upon Brother
Coulston by the fraternity must con-
vince him that his efforts to print
good paper are appreciated by his
friends. The citizens of Potter should
certainly feel proud of her newspapers
the Journal, Enterprise, Autograph,
Democrat, Republican, and Dispatch.
We do not believe another county in
the State can produce more ably con-
Quoted, up-to.date journals. What a
contrast with the days when we were
boy, (''devir' in this office, over thirty
years ago. and looked upon the journal,
then conducted by Hon. John S. Mann,
as being back in the woods with the
leek diggers" We take pride in watch
ing the course pursued by those journals
and extend our kindest wishes.
1t is the opinion Of the CAMERON
COUNTY PRESS, expressed aprOpos OF
the action Of the Jefferson county peO-
pie, in voting to establish their own
poor house and farm. that in q short
time every county in the State viii
have its own aimshousc and farm land.
Well, why not? The only argument
we ever saw against the proposition
was that it was cheaper to have some
other county care for the poor and that
it was impossible to secure an honest
administration Of almshouse affairs
once the administration was establish
ed. The first part Of this argument
took no account of the inability OF the
people to keep any kind of watch

be sent to the almshouse and cannot
be called anything but brutal; while
the second was absured on its face. An
honest administration of the affairs of
public offices can be obtained by elect
ing honest and capable men for sucn
offices and holding them to a rigid
accounting. g.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
Hon. S. S. fowler, the able Repre-
sentative from little Forest county, is
one of the most forcible speakers in
the Legislature and being consistent
Republican believes in obeying the
will of the majority as expressed at the
Republican caucus, when NJ. S. Quay
was declared the choice of that body of
representative Republicans of Penn
sylvania as its candidate for United
States Senator. The bargain-counter
reporters who daily circulate false re-
ports to deceive the public, wired the
Pittsburg Telegraph that Representa-
tive fowler was one of the number
who would desert Quay. Hon. J. E.
Wenk, editor of the Forest Republican,
pays his respects to that chap in the
following plain English: ''Some foot
reporter at Harrisburg last week, sent
to his paper, the Pittsburg Telegraph
a number of names of Senators and
members of the Legislature who were
about to desert from the Quay sup
porters, and among them appeared the
name OF Forest county representative,
Or fowler, Itperhaps had not dawned
on this smart Alex. that Forest county
did not send a lunkhead or knave 10
the Legislature to be veared from
right course by the yawp of a handful
of assistant Democrats who have no
standing in either Of the leading par
ties"
