Twas Circus Day.

The Frank Robbins circus visited
Olean yesterday, and gave clean attrac' :
i've. and entertaining performances. at
ternoon and evening. The Robbins show
is one of the good old fashioned one ring
kind. where you can see all that is do
ing. and while there are not one hun
dred and one turns" as in the big three
ring circuses. what there is is good The
tents were well filed both afternoon and
evening. and those present seemed salts
fed that they had received their money )
worth. The show people claim no fo'-
lowing of sharks and gamblers. and no
complaints along that line were made
during their visit in Clean. The Rob-
bins shows can be credited with fulfilling
all that they promise. - Olean Times.

Swisher and Scherr have withdrawn,
and Internal Revenue Collector Glass
cock. of Morgantown. has been put up
as the compromise nominee for Governor
on the Republican ticket. This, although
assented to by the Republican leaders OF
Jefferson county, is far from satisfactory
to the Sherr men throughout the State
the fine Italian hand of Senator Elkins
being clearly seen behind this choice
That this compromise will fully heal
the Republican breach IN West Virgins
is questionable.

falling to sleep in the arms of the NJ aster.

Sweetheart, all innocence and purity;

A soft voice, floating earthward through
the air,
Breathed, Be resigned; it is the Lords de-

Bryan has caught Tartar. and is under-
going the very pleasant experience OIL
having his cuticle removed by wholesale
The skinning that he is receiving may
not be to him the most enjoyable. but the
Democracy is enjoying it very much,
whilst Englishmen and the English press
are shocked that he should descend from
his high pedestal as President of the
United States to intermeddle in pc

There is more Catarrh in this sec ion of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incnrable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local NEEDLES. and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney Il Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally il doses from
10 drops to teaspoonfull. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

WHERE DID you GET TIT
"Uncle Joe" Invites Demand That
Ee Show Where He Got
His Wealth.

Speaker Cannon intImated that Mr..
Bryan had become millionaire. The
speaker was speaking in his home
town, Danville, Ill.
The following day Mr.. Bryan, speak
ing also in Mr. Cannons home dis
trict, opened his ledger to the gaze
of the American people and showed
that he is worth approximately $780,
600.
Having thus accepted Speaker Can
mons challenge to "'fess up" Mr..
Bryan demanded in return that
Speaker Cannon '.snitch on HIMSELF"
that is, that Mr.. Cannon also "'fess
up" and relate just how he got his
wealth.
1t is perfectly proper thing. too;
for some people have been worried
that Mr.. Bryan has succeeded by his
great industry in upbuilding q COM
potency for his old age.
Salary, Lectures and Books.
ut was from what saved from my
congressional salary, and gained from
lectures and books and the profits of
The Commoner' that / got what
money and property l have" Mr..
Bryan answered, In substance. Twill
Mr.. Cannon now tell the people how
he amassed his wealth? He has been
hampered more or less by official
duties during his term of service in
the congress. yet In spite Of that OBJ
stacle, he is commonly presumed to
possess considerable Of this worlds
goods"
Now uncle Joc'ss Turn.
None will deny that 1t is now Uncle
Joe's turn to take the people into his
confidence Down In Danyille, it is
true that Mr.. Cannon and his brother
as bankers are thought each to have
amassed much more than 100000.
Certainly, his credit in the financial
world rests on the general belief that
approximately that sum represents his
earthly possess ions.
If that be true, it IL to be hoped
that the speaker will give details as
to how he got 1t. II it be untrue, then
let him tell exactly how much he is
worth, and of what his wealth con-
sists. and follow Mr.. Bryan's example
In taking the people into his conf
dence.
Mr.. Cannon cannot gracefully re
fuse to do this. For he himself In
vited the demand now made on him.

There Is something fine and allur-
ing in the socialistic theory, and there
is tremendous potency in the move
ment. not only as represented by Debs
and Berger but as manifested in the
conclusions to which sociologists all
over the world are impelled AS Debs
declares, socialism would come with
out the socialists. That is, he believes
there is force at work in the hearts
of men which will bring them to econ
omic justice and broader humanity.
There is much significance in the
consideration given the socialistic
movement in the periodicals of the
land. Five of the leading magazines
have treated of it in recent issues,
pointing their readers to the fact that
1t is something that cannot be ignored
or repressed. A list of college pro-
fessors, preachers and men promi-
nent in other professions that are
more or less actively enlisted in the
socialistic movement is impressive.
Debs stands for one manifestation
of it. He leads the radicals. But
much more potent is the conserva-
tive element, not identified as a po-
litical organization like the Debs fol-
lowing, but working quietly through
the whole social fabric.-Everett Trib
une..
