Feared "spooks" at Death bed
From Philadelphia Ledger

Rev Joseph h. Moore, rector of the
Protestant Episcopal Church Of the Res
direction, Tioga, Pa, says: II was
c,sled out of bed at 3 a. m, January 4,
to visit sick woman Upon reaching the
house, was taken into room in which
young woman was lying unconscious in
bed In reply to my question how long
she had been in that condition an elderly
woman said, Since yesterday.
II told her that the sick person could
not comprehend anything | might say, and
that feared she would die. The woman
said: Yes, know she will die; but |
thought | would like TO have you here, so
as to keep the spooks away from the
house
The clergyman did not remain long after
hearing for what purpose his presence was
desired.

The democratic papers have been
quick to take advantage of the
fact that the selection of Attorney
General Knox for the vacancy in the
Unitee States Senate was at the sugges-
tiop of representatives oftwo of the most
powerful trusts in the country-the Unit
ed States Steel Trust and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, thus showing in true
light the sincerity of the republican ad-
ninistration in its ''trust busting" cru
sade The pricking of this republican
campaign bubble will likely prove a
strong card for the democratic spellbind-
ers, who are almost unanimous in the
opinion that the prompt acquiescence OF
President Roosevelt in the selection in
dicates the real attitude of the present
administration toward unlawful combina-
tions, whose disregard of the rights OF
the people is likely to be the leading
issue in the approaching Presidential
campaign.

Democratic presidential Warwicks
haven't been saying much lately about a
man who can easily be elected president
if nominated, and that is Admiral Win
field Scott Schley, the hero of Santiago.
Lately he has been making tour of the
country in company with other digni-
taries of Scottish Rite Masons, and every
where he has been most royalty welcom-
ed by Masons and non- -Masons, Demo
Gratis and Republicans, Populists and
Socialists-in fact, by citizens of all sorts.
There was no politics whatever in this
trinmphal tour, but it served nevertheless
to demonstrate that the great admiral is
the most popular American now living
Strange to say that, while several mil
itary heroes have been made president,
no naval hero has been so honored,
although the naval victors are more be-
loved by the people than the land con-
querors. 1t may turn out that this year
will see a naval hero elevated to the
highest civil station.--Congressman

Ex-President Cleveland recently deliy-
cred an address at Princeton, N. j., in
which he discussed the action of his ad-
ministration in connection with the
Chicago strike. The fact that he is ex-
planning and defending his administra-
tion would indicate that he is either very
sensitive to the criticisms that have been
directed against him, or that he is trying
to put himself in shape for another race,
the Commoner thinks. 1t is fortunate
for him that he has waited until after
Governor Altgeld's death to make his de-
fense, because if the governor were alive
he would be able to analyze, as no other
person can, Cleveland's action in that
strike. With men like Grover Cleveland,
the federal government is omnipotent
when it is backing up the demands OF
capital, but impotent when called npon
to protect the masses. Mr.. Cleveland
found the law strong enough to punish a
representative of labor union, but not
strong enough to punish the trust mag
mates who are constantly violating the
federal statutes.

REPUBLICAN EARNEsrNEss.

The large attendance at the Republican
primaries Indicate that unusual interest
is being taken nthe city election and
that the party intends to work earnestly
for the election of its ticket There was
an amount of enthusiasm that made
these primaries very different from those
held by the Democrats In the latter in
stance it looked very much as they had
a duty to perform that was distastcful
was over. The opposite prevailed with
l4..e Republicans. They entered INTO the
work of the primaries with spirit and
enthusiasm and were pleased with the
results of the conventions Already the
Democratic party has seen the error OF
its way and there is dissatisfaction
that is alarming. II it were not that
the tickets have to be certified to at
once. it is more than possible that some
of the candidates on that ticket, and in
fact, most of them would be forced off
the ticket by the Democratic leaders.
who so plainly see their mistake. As it
is. they will likely try their best to elect
them but it is not to be expected that
the old-line Democracy will support the
ticket with that faithfulness that char
acterizes them, when there is a straight
Democratic ticket in the field. How
ever. it behoovcs the Republican party
to leave no stone unturned in winning the
most brilliant victory that ever occurred
in Clarksburg.
