A good Joke is going the rounds on
Breidenthal now. While in the west
ern part of the state few days ago a
local politician in one of the county
seat towns took charge of him and
presented him TO the farmers and
business men in town that day. They
met an old farmer on the street and
the man who had Breidenthal in tow
said: Mr.. Jones / want to introduce
you to our next governor" Before
he could mention Breidenthal's name
the old farmer grabbed Johns hand
and exclaimed: ''By Gosh, Governor
Stanley, I'm glad ter meet you- L
voted against you two years ago, but
this time I'm for you and the hull
Republican ticket"

| 1t is, and always has been notice
able fact, that certain class of peo-
pie are ever ready and willing to
take up every new experiment that
comes along. Four years ago a dis
, satisfied element, headed by one VIM.
j. Bryan of Nebraska, was clammor-
ing for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to /,
but after they received such a set
back at the polls in November 1896, it
was thought that the country would
have a few years rest from the blat-
ant fanatics that were at the head of
this organization, but it seems not.
This year they have placed silver in
the background and have gone to the
Philippines, some ten thousand miles
from home, for new issue-"Imper-
ialism.'' The laboring people are IN
terested in affairs at home not in
some distant country and refuse to
be led astray by Mr.. Bryan's jumping
jack tactics as he is fast finding out.
On the other hand every promise
made by the Republican party four
years ago has been fulfilled to the let
ter and never in the history of the
United States have we enjoyed such
an era of prosperity as under the
present administration. Would it
not be very foolish in US to vote against
our friends and place man like Bry-
an at the head of the government? He
is an untried experiment and one that
might prove very costly to our coun-
try.

The triune forces had an idea that
Credentials popularity would carry
him through to victory and by placing
him at the head of the ticket it didn't
make much difference what was used
for filling as long as they had the cash

whenever they were called upon. Com
pare them man for man with the Re

can ticket will be elected by one of

RUSH FOR WIVES.
Coke Workers Eager to Bo
Married to Escape From
Being Discharged.

Pittsburg. Pa, June 27.-Because cf
duh times at some Of the coke works
in the Connellsville region. many single
men have been discharged. and this
has brought about an unprecedented
demand for June brides. Since the de-
mand for the coke slackened up some
ovens have been going out each week
and as a result 1t has been necessary
to lay Off men.
The foremen and yard managers are
retaining the married men becauee
their store bills are larger. The bachel-
ors are therefore making a grand rush
for wives to avoid the danger OF GET
ting an enforced summer vacation. Ev-
cry girl who arrives from the old
country quickly becomes = wife. u she
so desires.
Sometimes news Of the expected arr
rival of girl Is announced from New
York. and by the time she gets to Con-
nellsvile there are a dozen suitors
ready to propose. 1t has frequently
happened that the girl never got fur
ther than the railroad station before
she had become the promised bride OF
some Hun. Pole or Slav eager to pro-
vide himself with bride TO escape dis
charge. In some instances the girls are
brought over as In Colonial tince,
purely for matrimonial purposes.

FIRST GOVERNOR.
Commissioner Appointed to In
uuire Into Condition Of His
Burial Place.

Gov. Gregory today appointed James
N. Arnold. the historian, OF Providence,
as a commissioner, under a resolution
passed at the June session Of the Gem
eral Assembly, to inquire into the con-
dition of the burial place of the first
governor of Rhode Island. under the
royal charter, Benedict Arnold.
Mr.. Arnold Is also TO report upon
what is necessary to be done to restore
the burial place, which adjourns Truro
PARK. Newport, to it's proper condition.
and, ,inasmuch as he Is quite familiar
with the matter, his report Is expected
very shortly.
GOV. Benedict Arnold. who ranked.
both as a soldier and statesman, was,
prior to occupying the gubernatoriad
chair, one OF the presidents under pa
tent granted In 1643 by the British parli-
ament, of the four towns which COM
prised the state in those days.
These were: Providence, settled IN
1895: Portsmouth, in 1888; Newport. IN
l639 and Warwick. I'm 1912. Benedict
Arnold OF Newport. was president OF
these four towns, under the patent
from May, 1857. to May, 1860. and again
from May, 1862 TO November 20. 1858.
+ Under the royal charter he became
the first governor OF Rhode Island tax,
holding II until May, 1866. he was
again governor from May. 1863. TO May,
1872. and still n third time, from May,
1917. TO June 20. 1878. when he died In
Office.
Prior to his death Gov. Benedict Ar
mold had designated a certain part OF
his property where his remains were tc
lie. and his wishes were faithfully car
ried out. During the revolution his
property, including HIS burial place.
was seized by the Tories, and later was
retaken by the American party.
The land was never molested, but
was allowed 20 run into neglect, the
grave being overrun with rank weeds.
and Il became almost obliterated. The
city OF Newport several times would
have liked to take the land for park
purposes. but there Is no known person
who can execute n deed for II.
Gen. Olney Arnold OF Pawtucket and
hls nephews of this city, are descend
ants OF Benedict Arnold. but even they
do not know who would have any au-
thority to turn the land over to the
city.
The resolution passed by the general
assembly contemplates the erection OF
a single shaft over the grave. not as
some people think an elaborate monu-
ment. and there Is a probability that
the state will take possession OF the
piece OF land.
