Refusing to register is equivalent to
refusing to vote, and he who does this
has no right either to complain of
bad government or take any credit for
"a good one.-St Michaeps Comet.
The most important political event
Of the last week was the agreement Of
both factions of the Republican party
on a single ticket This greatly sim
plifies matters. as It virtually leads to
a square stand-up fight between the
two old parties as in days of yore.-
Smyrna Times.
Although it is only a little more
than a month to election day, the pol
iticians have not succeeded in working
up anything like the usual excitement
at this stage of the campaign They
claim everything, but are really up in
the air, so TO speak, themselves as to
what the result will be, so far as being
able to produce any tangible founda-
ion for their claims, and they fear
that If the people are too busy to do
the ordinary campaign shouting, they
may also be too busy to vOte.-Penns-

Democrats then have contributed

What Easton needs as much as any
thing else, but probably not more than
the generality of towns, is a society to
raise the standard among young
men to appreciate the obliga-
tion Of a debt. It is humili-
ating to admit that too many
would-be respectable young men, who
go or pretend to go in the best society,
who sport wherever there is opportu-
nifty, and pose as gentlemen Of means,
are utterly worthless and void Of bus
mess integrity -Easton Gazette.
The hard situation Of such a miner
can easily be imagined when il is con-

this balance in cash, and that what he

mington Democrat.
The Single Takers OF Delaware have
decided TO put a ticket in the field
Under the circumstances, this action
seems to Justice the wisest course.
Single Takers desire two things; the
success of Bryan in the national cleo
tiOn and the election of Legislators
favorable to single tax Neither
OF those ends seems possible of attain
ment without a separate ticket. The
Democratic organization, contrary to
the will of the rank and file, seems
Intent only upon securing control of
the state and has relegated Bryan and
national issues to a subordinate posi-
tion. Combined with some unpopular
nominations, this course is certain to
lose Bryan many votes On the other
hand, an endorsement of all Demo
cratic candidates promised no advan-
tage to the single tax.-Wilmington
Justice.
The only proper and honorable
course for the dealers to pursue is to
sell what they have at the fair and
reasonable profit on the original cost,
and when this stock is exhausted to
SELF new supplies only at such an ad-
vance as will insure the same reason
able margin Of gain.-Easton Ledger.
One state ticket is now before the
Republicans of the state. Let every

genuine loyalty get his coat of anC
