MIR. FLEITZ HEARD.

The last speaker was Mr. Fleitz. He
said it afforded him great pleasure to
meet with the Republican voters any
where, and particularly in Lackawanna
county.
This is an important campaign" he
began, "and the off years are always
important There is little campaigning
owing to the peculiar organization this
year, and this is particularly true n
this county on account of the small
ticket to be elected. But you cannot
separate the Republican party from
national issues"
The speaker then dwet upon the Re-
publican administration in Pennsylva-
mia, and spoke of the state appropria-
tions for public schools. In referring
to the free text book system, Mr.. Fleitz
said that John r. Farr's name was
written side by side with that of Thad-
deus Stevens for the welfare of the
public schools. He referred to the
| Democratic opposition which has been
overcome by Republican admlnistra-
ton, and alluded to Governor Stones
action in vetoing bills which there was
no money to pay, and for which he
has been unjustly criticized.
|
| an honest effort to satisfy himself with
| the facts concerning the expenditure OF
| public funds" the speaker said, "and
they never had duty more important
to perform than they have today. Sue
cess is only achieved by everlastingly
| pegging at it, and If we would spend
as much energy in fighting the common
enemy as we do in fighting among our
| selves. there would not be enough
| Democrats left to tell the tale"
In referring to the Crawford county
system of voting, Mr.. F'leitz said, ht
never had any cause to change his
mind regarding it. The ticket recently
nominated under it, is the ticket of the
people. and if the people don't come out
and elect the candidates they have
nominated, they don't want the Craw
ford county system. They are honest
upright and square, and it is Just AZ
important to get out and vote as it was
to nominate them. 1t is a duty of pa
triotism and loyalty they owe to tht
Republican party.
The meeting was closed with three
cheers for the father of the Crnwfort
county system in this county and tht
party candidates.

of the negro is not so much in his lack
of disposition to industriously improve
on educational opportunities afforded
in the ordinary schools, as In his al

field of competitive labor.
Walter r. Wilcox of Cornell uni

office, In his address to the American
Social Science association of Saratoga,
brings out with conclusive force the
fact that the negro Is not in any way
keeping up with the constantly crow
ing demand created by industrial de-
veiopment for intelligent labor. This
unquestioned authority traces to this
the cause Of which the increase N ne
gro poverty and criminallty are direct
and logical effects Mr.. Wilcox, after
showing that in agriculture, on which
the negro relies mainly for employment
and livelihood, a constantly increasing
diversification is extending the demand
for greater industry, energy and intel
ligence, clInches the argument that the
negro is lamentably dropping to the
