'NHE AUTHOR OF the Demo-

Il dently has not read of the
fate of the ass that tried to
bray like the lion SO as to scare all the
unequal to the job, simply drew upon
himself derision and laughter.

Every department of our state gov

acy, dishonesty ana reckless disrc-
gard of constitutional or moral obliga-

state government is the department of
public instruction, presided over by Or.
Schacffcr, a Democrat, though indorscd
by mon of all parties ana known inter-
nationally for his services in behalf of
education. 1t comes with poor grace
from Governor Pattison and the Demo-
cratic party to help to throw this graft
uitous rCpruach upon Dr. Schacffer.
Then there is the state library, pre-
sided over by Rev. Dr. Reed. Those
delegates To The recent Democratic con-
vention who have any knowledge Of
libraries and Librarians must know
that pro0igacy, dishonesty and indif-
ference to solemn obligations have no
countenance from the president of
Dickinson college. But this accusation
goes further. 1t not only includes the
governor, the lieutenant governor, In"
secretary of the commonwealth. the
attorney general, the state treasurer,
the auditor general, the secretary of
internal affairs, insurance commission
or, banking commissioner. secretary of
agriculture, factory inspector. chief
