BRIEF HENTION.

Uncle Sam has taken first place in the
banking business also, with capital of
S9, ,663, ,000, 600, against 81 600, 100000
in England.
When candidate processes opposition
to the use of money in elections and at
the same time sends out letters begging
for money to help elect him, how is he to
keep the voters from being corrupted,
except by sailing it down in his own
pocket where it will do the most good p
Bradford Star.
A few months ago Lew Emery told the
people of this district in a rather author
itative manner to nominate and elect Mr..
Sibley. A short time thereafter he landed
at home from the Pacific coast and
changed his programme by issuing his
order that Sibley be defeated. We have
tried to recall case where any reported
boss in the Republican party ever as
sumed such authority. IF Lewis, the
brazen face, should ever become boss,
his party would be like the slaves under
the Dred Scott decision. They would
"have no rights which white man is
bound to respect" Bradford Star
Candidate Emery enjoys the distinc-
tion Of being the only man in the oil
business who runs a company" store.
His large mercantile establishment at
Bradford has made him sort of local
John Wanamaker. He is dealer in
nearly every line of known merchandise
and competitor with nearly every branch
of trade and business in the city. Brad
ford merchants are not banking very
much upon what he says in regard TO
trusts and monopolies. Actions speak
louder than words, and Emery is anti
monopoly only to those trusts and bust
ness organizations in which he is not di,
rectly interestcd.-Oil City Derrick.
An exchange saws that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is about to
tackle a job to certain extent that the
general government nor any sovereign
State has yet undertaken, and that is the
suppression of the tramp nuisance along
its lines. The road will police its lines
hobo element that is becoming more and
more aggressive. Heretofore the train
men have had to look after these very
undesirable citizens, and every State in
the Union should bring them up with
short turn. The company only asks that
its men be invested with authority all
along the line to make arrests.
In every case here the present Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in this
district has interested himself in politics,
it was always in opposition to Republican
candidates and the Republican party In
1881 he opposed the Republican candi-
date for United States Senator and State
Treasurer; the next year he worked hard
to defeat General Beaver for Governor
Robert E. Pattison the Democrat, was
supported strongly by him for Governor
in 1890. In 1896, the straddle candi-
date was opposed to Mckinley and Ho-
bart. Such is the political record of the
man who is asking Republicans to vote
for him on the ground that he will save
their party.-Bradford Star.
Man is a jealous animal and thinks
others do what he wants to do himself.
The man who wants to be party boss
believes the party can be bossed. The
fellow who would buy votes believes the
mass of voters can be bought. Dishonest
men in business say that every man has
his price. Lewd and lcchcrous men scout
Il. 1 4 Il,
The cry of stop thief comes loudest from
the fellow who stole the goods. "Out of
the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh," and this should warn us of
the true character of the political hypo-
crite who distributes morals with MS
mouth while he gathers Doodle with both
hands from all over the States, except
Dakota; and that is not his fault
