Ulysses G. Hanna is making an
active fight for the republican nomi-
nation for sheriff-so active that the
Forum says "he will go to the conven-
ton with number of DISTRICTS" Mr..
Hanna, it will be remembered, made
an awful mistake when he consented
that the Forum should print his portrait.
He is so much handsomer than that
picture that the JOURNAL no longer
wonders that in going around among
the voters very much Of the damage
has been retrieved.
Il. G. Townsend is disposed to agi
tate the subject Of good roads. Take
FroStburg alone and it can be stated
that enough trade has been driven
away from this town by bad roads to
have made all of them good.
Is it any part of the duty of IL repub-
lican oygaH to question the integrity of
a republican citizen who is also re-
publican of1ice-holder without telling
republicans the reason why ? In
other words, is disloyalty to the greed
of a marble monopolist test of fidelity
to the republican party

has both-the one luxury, the other
a necessity. Take it all round and
Jumping bad and good, the metropolis
is about the best town on the planet
to live in.
The conetab,e's name has come out
Of the mazes of lying innuendo any
way. As read, it is Owen England. a
pretty good fellow Of the sort who
thinks that no honest workman will
underbid himself He won't allow it
either wherein he has any say. Owen
accepts workman'S lowest bid as
cost, pins IL living profit, and says
when the latter is allowed IA second
bid, for the life of him he can't see
how the poor fellow is to keep out of
the pOor-house-unless he makes up
the loss by stealing something out Of
the quality of the goods.
The Hitchins Bros Co., have issued
an announcement that is to stand for
the hot term of the year-''we close at
I p. m" This for the benefit of all the
working force Employers as well as
employed.
FroStburg leads in summer climate,
baseball, pure water, great paper. and
now horse, named "Fros:burg," run
ming III Cumberland Tuesday of last
week, distanced all competitors.
"A subscriber" asks-"why don't
you quit smashing the Foyum-the
poor. weak thing ~ The plain, un-
vanished reason is-the JOURNAL is
afraid it would become friendly, and
fool friends are good deal more in
a body's way than fool foes.
Several attempts at househreak king
IN town lately have been spoken Of
some successful. Why not talk out
loud and put people on their guard
There is a report circulating to the
effect that Owen England will get his
walking papers under the next county
regime. Not necessarily. The incom
ing county commissioners are inform
ed right now that the anti-Owen Eng
land feeling is extra tremendous IN
only two establishments in this town
both Johnny'S.
The promise of long list of sum
mer boarderS this year at the Hotel
Gladstone is bright 1t is worthy of
remark, too. that the regular bOarders
report a cuiSihe at that establishment
that Is hard to excel.
The town authorities should keep
an unsleeping eye on the water supply.
Stop waste. Under any circumstances
don't permit a shortage of water to
overtake the town when full of sum
mer boarders. One season marked by
an event Of that character might be
disaster that could never be repaired.
Some excellent work has been done
during the work on Union and Broad
way in the way Of hauling off the
superfluouS dirt. l. is the sort of
work that reduces the supply of mud
and dust to Il minimum, and ought TO
save the useless expenditure of the
town 5 precious water. More of this
sort of thing will enttle the Mayor
aud his committee to the laurel wreath.
