The naval officers stationed at the Iron

was hung under the memorial tablet on

Miss Bagley who is now travelling

The Issue of the Campaign.

Yes"
well. but will he?"
Yes"
That ought to satisfy every Democrat
but it does not. There arc so many peo-
pie who want a reason for everything. |
will try to satisfy some of these by giving
some reasons for the faith that is in me.
Before I do that let me saw at he out
set hat there is but one issue in this
campaign. | have been impressed with
this one thing: No matter what reason is
given for supporting Mr.. Bryan, when tho
man gives it he invariably ends on Trusts
Trusts then is the issue. Now | Will give
some reasons WHY Mr.. Bryan will be
elected:
There is not a single individual in
the whole country who is not affected by
a Trust. and every one of them feels it
and says so. 1t has taken a long time for
the people to realize that they are robbed
from morning till night and from the era
die to the grave. but they realize it at
last and they know where the blame lies.

Emporium Liars Club.

The Emporium club met in Hirsch's
wood shed last Monday evening, with
Ed. Morse in the chair
Judge Brennan, onr worthy secretary,
was brought to task and asked to account
for the unpleasant odor in the room.
The Judge said that 'some gall darned
simpleton bad put something on his pipe
stem" A committee was appointed to
investigate the matter and it was found
the Judge had came in contact with some
limburger cheese and wiped his hands on
his whiskers He was let off with the
usual fne-eieht cents.
One of our members reported that
Snyder had sold his dog and surprised
his friends by making himself present
of new pipe. Snyder's old pipe is
quite relic, being made out of the horn
of a Rocky Mountain sheep which that
gentleman run down after a thirty-six
hour chase, during his travels through
that region looking for the red man, and
he says he proposes to reserve this
unique piece OF art until William .Jen-
nings Bryan is elected president when
he will present the same to him.
Ed. McNerney then said he thought
something of handing in an application
for a position on the police force, which
Office he believed would be suitable to his
health. Johnny Hogan said he would
make good officer, and McNcrney left
his order for a pair of bow-legged overalls,
red ''jumper" and hickory club.

met the approval ofevery member present,

sorry he could not attend as he had
made arrangements to take a visit that
evening and it would be impossible to be
present, Some little debate arose on
what the menu should be, and finally it
was lett to a committee to decide \
special meeting was called for Thursday
evening, when all arrangements will be
made. SEC'Y.

Prof. Ford, of Baltimore, one of the
finest readers and reciters in America,
appeared at the M. E. Church, Tuesday
evening, to a crowded house, and if he

fectly trained, and with it he manifest
ed the possession of n most enviable

There is something almost diabolical
in the politics of some of the big yellow
journals. Pretending to advocate the
country's good, they SANDER the ad-
ministration, and resort to every low
and contemplate device to prejudice
the public mind against it. Garing
hypocracy, disgusting pharisaism and
marvellous effrontery characterize all
purposes they endeavor to make wis
dom and patriotism look hideous, and
folly and rank demagoguery appear
sanity. Heaven help the country
when the yellow journals control its
politics. s.-Punx'y Spirit.
From Philadelphia to Washington and
Buffalo.
Buffalo Commercial of recent date,
says: Beginning Sunday, May 9th,
the Western New York and Pennsylva-
mia Railway will put on a new train,
"The Philadelphia and Washington
Special" and in connection with the
Pennsylvania railroad, will run Pull
man buffet sleeping cars between Buff
falo and Philadelphia and Washington
without change.
Train will leave New York Central
station daily at 6:10 p. M, and arrive at
Philadelphia at 6:52 a. M, and Wash
ington at 7:45 a. m.
Returning sleepers will leave Phila-
delphia at $50 p. M, Washington 7:2O
p. M, and arrive at Buffalo at $50 a. m.
Between Buffalo and Emporium, these
trains will stop only at East Aurora,
Arcade and Port Allegany.
This is an important item of news as
it opens a new through route from Buff
falo to Philadelphia, Washington and
the South. 1t will be seen that the
service is remarkably good, and that
the route will be the shortest from
Buffalo to Washington. 1t will give
the Western New York and Pennsyl-
vania a short line to Philadelphia and
Washington, thus placing it directly in
line for Southern competition. The
mileage between Buffalo and Washing
ton, via Emporium, will be 44O, as
against $50 via Canandaigua and 554
via Lehigh Valley.

The following is an application for
membership from a Mr.. Wilson in the
Williamsport hospital
Mr.. NJ. BLoDGET, Scribe.
DEAR SIR By request of H. Il.
Smith, | wish to offer myself as an ap-
plicant for membership in the S. l.. G.
While lying beside Mr.. Smith, in the
Williamsport hospital he has been in
ssructing me in the art necessary to be-
come a member of the club. As to his
ability as an instructor, | imagine he
must be a charter member and no doubt
is unexcelled. [ am progressing very
rapidly but my most sincere regret is that
| soon must leave him.
He wishes me to relate some OF my
wild and woolly" adventures that have
experienced in my travels, but | shall
leave that for the future.
Should | be accepted, and your goat,
have the wings Of an eagle, the saddle OF
feather bed, (Which would be very nee
essary for my physical condition), and
strength of the bull that "bushed'' the
train off the Brooklyn bridge. | would
ask you to send the goat down that l
might take an aerial flight and return with
him and be initiated at your next meet
ing at Beldin's chicken coop.
Prof Smith has called our class and
so | must close. Hoping to receive a
favorable reply,
| remain yours,

Sinnemahoning Liars Club.

The Sinnemahoning Liars Club met as
was stated last week, in G. i. Bailey's
chicken coop and some excitement was
created owing to the roost, on which Otto
Mckay, our presiding officer was perched,
giving away, landing him on his back.
Norman johnson and John Logue
were appointed to prepare a candidate for
initiation. Arming themselves with
chains and two bull rings, the candidate
was so frightened that he has not been
seen or heard of since. The members
were all very much disappointed, but we
managed to get away with a couple cases
of mineral water.
The balance of the evening was spent
in telling yarns. The weather on Friday
evening was the topic. Metzger reported
that the rain fall in one hour, was the
largest he ever saw. Metzgcr said he set
a bushel measure in his front yard and
it rained full in one hour Pap Berftld
said that was nothing, as he set out a
splint basket and it rained full the same
shower. a few fish stories were sprung
but were ruled out by the chair as the
season tor bass fishing is not quite
ripe yet, Pap Blodget and Chas. BeIdin
were selected as delegates to the Repub-
lican National convention held at Phila-
delphia next month, and should either
one OF these gentlemen be chosen as vice
president you will hear from them.
Joe Summerson got on his war paint
and we had rough house for few
minutes. Hanscome, to restore order in
vited them all to have something, Joe
Strayer being the only member who re-
fused. Our next meeting will be held in
Beldin's wagon shop. Pap Blodget and
Jesse Nichols will furnish the chickens

DEAR PAP;-l will drop you a few
lines and let you know that [ am doing
well and will soon be able to be up. [
hope you are all well and enjoying your
selves. | received the PRESS this morn
ing and enjoyed reading the club news.
1t was all right and there was lot OF
fun over it. The fellows take turns
reading it. We have some pretty good
times here too think [ will be able to
be home in three weeks. The nurses all
look at the club items and laugh. will
send you a few more items and few
new names. Fisher laughed when he
read the items and said he would like to
join. One of the fellows was so well
pleased with the piece that he wants me
to cut it out and give it to him to take
home.
think the S. L. c., is improving, as
there are few applications here to ride
the goat. Benezette may have some
second growth material but we have
some first growth material here Jas.
Coyle leaves here to-day for up the river
and he says if he meets Pap Blodget he
will give him some ringers. Mr.. Fisher
is anxious to ride the goat. Mr.. VIM.
Shaw is another applicant but says he
cannot ride without stirrups. Mr. VIII
son is one of my best members and
should he meet Pap Blodget | am afraid
that talented member would have to drop
his feathers and take a sneak. | would
advise the club to buy some tickets from
Mr.. Fisher and should any accident hap
pen while riding the goat they would be
prepared to send them to the proper
place for treatment
