The North American in thoCampaigr


This Presidential campaign will be
one of the most exciting the country
has ever seen. Pennsylvania is in the
position Of a spectator Her great Re-
publican majority is as sure for Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt in 1900 as it was
for Mckinley and Hobart in 1896. New
ertheless the people of this State will
feel the keenest interest in
the progress of the battle in
those sections of the Union
where the rsult is thought to be doubt
full. The North American will meet
the demands of this natural interest by
placing in the field correspondents of
national reputation who will be under
instructions not to be partisans, but to
tell the exact truth about the situation
as hey see it in it's shifting phases.
The Democrats of the middle West,
and even Of New York. strange as it
may seem to Pennsylvania Republi-
cans, are not without hope of The cleo
tion of Bryan. They have a good deal
to say for themselves. and they have
writer's who can say it well. AS The
North American is newspaper and
not an old-fashioned organ, it will give
space during he campaign to he Dem
ocratc side from the pens Of the lead
ers and conspicuous journalists Re-
publicanism is not intelligently served
by ignoring the best thought arrayed
against it, The news has a right to
publica ion. and facts are not oblTrera-
ted because party organs choose to be
studiously blind to them.
Such treatment Of political cam
paign will be new to Pennsylvania
readers who rely upon their home
newspapers for an understanding Of
what is going forward in politics
throughout the United States. but il is
the business Of The North American tc
break fresh ground and be different
from its esteemed though regrettablS
narrow contemporaries.
Mckinley and Roosevelt and the fun.
dalnental principles and general poll
cies of the Republican party will hav'
throughout the canvass no more ener
sgetic supporter than The North Amer
ican. but its opinions will be found il
their proper place--the editorial page
In its news columns The North Ameri
can will print the news uncolored. Th
Democrat will be as well served ther
as the Republican.
Because Of this broad policy Of fair
ness. we are confident that the Nortl
Americans superiority as a newspape
for the next four months will be as Wis
fble 10 everybody as il has been during
the presence of the National Republi
can Convention in Philadelphia
If you don't read the Uorth American
YOU don't get the news.

The Catholic Cemetery.

The Catholic Cemetery has been
cleaned and is now in better condl-
ton than it has been for many
years. An association has been
formed by the members of the
Catholic congregation for the pur-
pose of keeping the cemetery in its
present condition and to improve it
if possible. The small monthly fee
of cents will be paid by each.
| his may seem a mere trifle, but it
is not SO small when it is conidered
at there is such a large Catholic
congregation at this place. 1t is
to be hoped that all who have re-
latives buried in the Catholic
cemetery will contribute their mite
toward the success of this most
worthy undertaking.

A Meridian Line.

Surveyor G. d. Harris, of the
State geological survey, will be in
our parish soon to establish a true
meridian line for the guidance OF
surveyors. He will also make such
geological surveys as will enable
him to report fully on the natural
formation, soil, substrata, ETC.
The survey is being made through
out the State in each parish by the
State, and no doubt the information
thus obtained will prove of much
interest and value, as no complete
survey of this nature has ever be-
fore been attempted by either State
or National government. The mer-
