A NATIONAL REPROACH,


The convict lease system was the
basis Of the species of slavery recently
in vogue in South Carolina and broken
up by the vigorous action of the An
derson county grand jury under in
structions from Judge Bennett. The
leasing OF convicts to contractors
and farmers is a relic of barbarism
fortunately existing in but few of the
states of the Union, but wherever it
does exist it should be abolished. The
slave stockades of South Carolina re-
present but one. Of the abuses made
possible by such a system and it will
be a reproach to Twentieth century
civilization il tits permitted to con-
tinue much longer IN any state

sment was utilized simply as means to
pay political debts and to form that
monstrous political machine. 1t is

WHY IS IT.?
WHY Is II?
SOME TIME ago group of gentleme

SOME TIME ago group of gentlemen, all
~ business men, were sitting in a circle in
one of the hotels of Boomsburg. In the group
were men from Lock Haven, several from Mid
dleburg and the proprietor ofa department store
in Johnstown. The Johnstown man picked up
a copy of the Middleburg Posi-, took one glance
at it and, looking up to the men from this place,
said, "Nour town needs some progressive busi-
ness men," Several of the Middleburgers looked
amazed and wondered what the Johnstown man
should see by just casual glance at the Posi-.
"There are several advertisements of Sunbury
merchants, he continued, and none from Middle
burg" You can always tell whether town
has any progressive business men by looking at
the home newspaper. If Middleburg merchants
would use the columns of the Posi- properly,
they could easily make it Improbable for Sun
bury merchants to advertise. AS it stands now,
the Sunbury merchants certainly find it profit
able to advertise in the Posi-, or else they would
discontinue advertising. If it pays Sunbuly
merchants to advertise in the Posi-, it will pay
Middleburg merchants twice as well. / do a
large mail order business too, and when l find
a local paper poorly patronized by home mer-
chants, that paper always pays me best, because
the people in that neghborhood do not know
what new things the home merchants have to
sell. If some progressive fellow were to ask
my advice where to begin business, would in.
variably send him to town where the mer.
chants do not advertise, because either the mer
chants have no bargains, or if they have, bu
few people find it out. A new man with the
liberal USE of printers ink can always lead off
in business against even old settlers"
We give space to these remarks as they ar

Mean Class Of Thieves.

A species of thett-and one of the
very meanest-that Of stealing flowers
from graves in the cemeteries, is re-
ported by several parties. 1t used to
be that the typical mean person was
one who would "steal the pennies off
a dead nigger's eyes," and the man ol
woman who will steal flowers from q
grave is very close relation. Some.
times such things are done more from
thoughtlessness than a really depraved
or dishonest spirit, but if an offender
is caught it won't make much differ
ence, he or she will be given the full
extent of the law.

MAY BUY THE CANAL.
Railroad Company Likely to Buy Abandoned
Waterway.

Railroad Company Likely to Buy Abandoned
Waterway.
The Pennsylvania Canal Company
which is now closing up its affairs has
had for the last several days appraisers
going over its property, SO that some
idea of what the property is worth can
be arrived at. These appraisers consist
of one representative from the canal
company, one from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and an uninterest-
ed party.
As soon as the appraisers made a re-
port the property of the company is to
be offered for sale. The belief is that it
will be purchased by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. The canals that
the canal company formerly owned,
and which were abandoned some years
ago, were in every instance bought in
by thePennsylvania. The canal along
side of the Susquehanna river offers a
different problem, as it does not paral-
lei the road in the same manner as did
the canal that ran alongside the Jun
iata river.
Fran Columbia to Harrisburg the
canal parallels the railroad and the
ground it occupies can be utilized by
the railroad. From Clark's Ferry to
Sunbury the canals on the opposite
side Of the Susquehanna river but from
Sunbury to Muncy it is alongside of
the railroad, as well as from Sunbury to
Nanticoke. 1t is believed that wher-
ever the canal runs parallel and along
side Of the Railroad that the Pennsyl-
Aania Railroad Company will buy 1t
in and utilize 1t for the extensions that
are made from time to lime.

THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION.

|THE Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
Il is another marvel of the swift energy of
Americans. In a year or thereabou:s great tree
less meadow has been transformed into place of
beauty by day and of splendor at night. Archi.
lecture and landscape gardening have hal their
triumph there. The palaces of the magician
have risen. Towers and pillars and fragrant
gardens and lovely waterways have grown, as it
were, in night. There was no shabby unpre-
paredness on the opening day. The great crowd
found great show ready.
Buffalo has reason to de proud of herself She
will find her reward in the multitudes that will
come to her spectacle. She will have to hump
herself to feed and lodge them all; but she will do
it and do it well.
But this Buffalo exposition means much more
than entertainment and curiosity. Its purpose is
to bring the republics of North America, of
Central America, of South America into closer
relations, to make them know one another better
to smooth the way for enduring fri i e d.
ships and vastly increased commercial inter-
changes. May that purpose prospera as well as the
authors of this noble exposition hope
