BOROUGH Politics.

To the citizens of Rising Sun the election OF
Commissioners is of much more Importance
than it is regarded. The Commissioners have
sole control of the borough finances, the streets
the sidewalks the behavior OF its citizens and all
who come inside the borough limits, the sanitary
condition Of the town, the care and protection OF
the lives and property of its citizens, the levy
of taxes.
A little reflection and you comprehend that the
responsibility of borough commissioner is
nothing short of being important, and too little
attention has always been given by the voters to
the election.
Usually there is no concern about 1t and The
only interest manifested is that now and then a
little excitement is aroused by a few-generally
those who pay not a cent Of taxes, are responsible
for nothing and their purpose is to elect some one
whom they consider of their class, or to defeat
some one who in the discharge of his duty has
done something they did not approve from their
selfish standpoint, or because they do not "love'
him.
This item is not written to "boom" any one fol
the place but to arouse the voters to realization
of their duty,-to get the best citizens and those
who have interests at stake to take interest in
the election of good men. and good men If elected
| should serve,-but we do feel concerned enough
and justified IN saying that the President OF the
Borough during the last year has manifested
more interest in the welfare OF the town than any
other commissioner the writer ever knew to hold
place on the board He has given it more time
more thought, than any one else, has good judg
ment and never fails to keep the welfare OF the
borough first and last before him. Let the eiti
zens at the election soon to occur remember hin
and fail not to re-elect him.

Probably none of the great dailies ofthe
day give closer attention to national pol
itics than does the Washington Star, and
it considers the democratic Presidential
nomination still free for all, with the
winner not yet drawing away from the
bunch, as it says the conviction is grow
ing among democrats that, notwithstand
ing the wave of Parker sentiment which
swept over the country after the New
York State Convention, the nomination
is yet an open question-any mans
fight.

Bryan's Choice for the presidenc,

The Philadelphia Ledger's political
man takes his turn at this question, which
has been much discussed for some time
past by the wiseacres, without much def
mite conclusion, and he comes aboutias
near telling who the silver champions
choice is as the numerous other writers
have. Just how near that is will be seen
by the following extract from the article !:
at has long been matter of specula-
ton as to just whom William ]. Bryan
would support for the Presidency. The
Public Ledger's information is that Mr..
Bryan will not bolt the ticket nominated
at St. Louis; he will make stand-up hard
fight. then turn in for the nominee, and
ask his friends over the country to do The
same. The leaders of the combination
have learned that Mr.. Bryan cannot be
ignored, and they do not intend to do SO,
either. For instance, the relationship
between Colonel Guffey, the Standard
Oil partner and leader of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. Bryan, the editor of the Com
moner, is very close. So with ex-Gover-

supported him he feels it would be in.

oskAL oosA,s OPPORTUNITY.

Buxton Gazette: 1t has been talked
in and around Buxton that Oskaloosa
has deposited funds sufficient to run
her electric line to Buxton and Ham
ilton, Iowa. If this is fact it will
be good for Buxton; as an electric
line would give our people good outler
and make business intercourse COM
plete. The long talked electric line
we hope will come in. We have also
been informed that the business men
Of Oskaloosa have united to give our
Buxton friends good accommodations
when we come to Oskaloosa. We
hope that this is true and not butter
fly sayings; anyway, we are here to
see how the tide turns. If it shows
that we are welcomed and will be
treated as American citizens, new life
and courage may be put in motion,
and confidence restored that Oska-
loosa will do unto others as she
wishes them to do unto her.

has been the most severely criticised
by the democrats, and that is the

the Philippines. Mr.. e. B. Bryan ,one
of the delegates who is conversant
with affairs in the islands, was fair
enough to declare that after centuries

of the Philippine archipelago speak
and write the English language and
have made vast strides in intelli-
gence.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
One Barn Burned, Another Damaged

An alarm of fire at three o'clock
this morning took the department to
the Mitchell property, corner of Third
avenue and Fifth street. The barn,
which contained considerable
amount of feed and property, was
discovered in flames and the fire had
a good start before the trouble was
found out. The fire was fierce and
hot and when the department, which
made quick response to the alarm,
arrived upon the scene, the barn or

DON'T BE A MISER.

Topeka Capital: Young man, says
the Village Deacon, done let the
world single you out as 'tight-wad-
a miser. There is more to this life
than the getting of riches. There is
no real enjoyment in sitting off in a
corner and counting your nickels day
after day. Don't deprive yourself Of
the little enjoyments of life just to
watch your bank account grow. The
old saying, Take care Of the dimes
and the dollars will take care Of
themselves" is all right, but don't
overwork it. There is a vast differ
ence between being economical and
being a reckless spendthrift. The
few dollars you save by being tight
wad will not begin to compensate you
for what you lose in the long run.
Go to the theater occasionally and
take in the ice cream socials and the
ball games and don't try to worry
through the summer with a couple Of
neckties, or make your overcoat hide
the frailties of your trousers. Don't
walk away when you see the collec-
ton box coming your way. Pay your
share toward keeping the old world
moving. Get your snare Of the enjoy
ments that float about you day after
day and don't bemoan the dime that
got away from you and you failed to
get value received for it. Keep your
debts paid and your nose off the
grindstone and learn to rely wholly
on your own resources. If It's in the
cards for you to get rich you'll do it
anyway, no matter how much you
spend your money. Don't envy the
man Of millions. Nine times out OF
ten they are the unhappy ones of the
community. If you go through life
and pay your share and at the final
reckoning are able to depart with
your ledger honestly balanced you
will have done we'll. Your dimes will
buy something while you are on earth
nothing after you are gone. Don't
be a miser."
