For Bale by all drng- one was to on Hnen. I he rioters had undoubtedly gouo into the nearest grocgery to boast of their exploits, uiiil take something to increase their valor for another at tack. Two newspaper were printed in the village at that time, but it Is an astonishing fact that no more mention wan ever made of tho meet ing in either of them, than if it had never taken place. The roason is obvious. The publishers were in sympathy with tho rioters, had probably given them private en couragement, and ol course did not like to censure their unlawful acts.

On tho other and they did not want to justify or defeud them, less they might lose a few subscribers; so they said nothing. J. W. I.MiUAM. IX A NUXIIKi.l,.

At the recent election in Ohio the cold Democrats polled votes; Coxey, "of keepoffthe grass received 6,254 votes C'ox- ey is therefore the more important factor. A canvass which has been made of the Senate indicates that neither Secretary Gage's financial plan nor any other which provides for bonds payable specilically in gold insteau of coin can secure a majority of that body.

1 is .040,078. Tho Democrats of Pennyslvania have reasons to feel encouraged over the result of the election in the stato this year. They carried 18 counties against 12 last year; Dr. Swallow carried 9, thus a total of 27 counties was carried against the Republican candidate for state treasurer, or nearly one-half of all. The candidacy of Mr.

Thompson, the Independent Republican for state treasurer, accomplished its object, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The ticket received enough votes to secure to the Independent party the right to a column on the official I ballot without the expense of cit-1 culftting nomination papers. TmJ holds good not only lor tne state offices but for members of the legislature as well. Tho news that the Duchess of Teck a cousin of the Queen of England, a granddaughter ofGeorgelll.and the mother of the future Queen, died a pauper will probably shock certain American notions and shake our reverence for royalty. But it is the The dead Duchess left no estate.

In England the younger Eons of royalty generally get only what a grudging Parliament allows them, and the daughters of younger sons fare worse than their brothers in the next division. It does not look as if prosperity had struck Tioga county very heavy when Sheriff Champaign has twenty pieces of real estate adver tised for sale at the next term of court, November 22d. Perhaps that is the way the western farmers are uavme oft their mortgages with the aid of the sheriff.

DeWitt is quite well-known here and is a cousin of our townsman, D. C. Civitis in writing from Harris-burg to City and State, says Dr. Swallow'ssurprising vote has given all tho Quay men chills and fever. They know that the size of the Swallow vote indicates the general feeling against bossism.

What may develop from the Swallow crusade is the nightmare that disturbs their dreams now more than the Martin and Magee nightmares, which the Beaver chief bo often prated about during tho days of his extremity. There is a wholesome fear now that anything except good faith with the people will be followed by prompt retribution in the defeat of the Eepuhlicon ticket. TA Xl'AYERS' APPEAL. Judge Arch bald, who has been agreed upon to hear tne case in the appeal of the taxpayers from the report of the county auditors, has fixed Monday, Dec. 27, for this first hearing at the court house.

as Tho lUlltur or tho Aruua liua nuothor fpuMiit Ovor I'tihllu IMo. It is a well known fact that the editor of the Aram lias a fondness great for public pie, as the most earnest enthusiast lias for Klondike told. het him feast on public plunder until he is full and he is as I nut as a sleepiug bane; but the piece of piois sparingly cut, he will make more whines than any twelve year old boy who has been neglected by over-indulgent parents. Wheuever you hear Ash kicking you may be assured that he lias been diseappointed in somo 01 nis schemes to ileeco the taxpayers. Last week ho had one of his spells and broke out as follows: The HrAB editor some months ago sllu- denly stopped howling aliout the Commissioners, Court House, Taxpayers' apiteal, Vozer Bridge, eta.

It hail bien his stork in tratlo for a Ionic time. Whr did he stop? He gets a little pup which accounts for his mysterious silence He evidently belong to that "terrible" court house rinif of which he said the Ar)tus was a tool. His friends should rescue him at once or they will lose the etlect ol his "great exposures." It is no neglect of the taxpayers on the part of tho Stab that has caused Aslimun 's wailings, but it is because tho Stab has been instrumental in saving tho taxpayers a considerable sum of money Ash expected to have for his own pocket. For years tho ring papers have been dividing the work of printing tho official ballots between them and making hundreds of dollars out of the taxpayers. This fall the Bame old program evidently was arranged, that the Aram and Ju vorter-Journal, Bbotild have the printing of the official ballots, Commissioner Decker then caine to us and asked that we bid on a part or all of the ballots to be printed.

Weaccordingly put in a per thousand, which was consider ably lower than the price given by either of the two ring papers. The matter was talked over by the two Republican commissioners, and as we have been it would not be policy to give a price greater than that offered by the Star, then dropped us out, and gave one-third of the work to the Reporter-Journal, Argus and Republican each. While we had been treated unfairly, we made no complaint, knowing tho taxpayers had been benefited a considerable sum, by tho commissioners requiring the other publishers to take tho printing of the ballots at our iigures. For printing one-third of the official ballots for November election 1896, the Argus received about $14 per thousand, or exactly $195.25. This year the Argus will receive $3.50 per thousand for printing ballots, or about $50.

It will be thus Been that Ash, on printing ballots alone, is $145 short of last vear, and the otar is to blame for it. In other words tho Star has again been saving money to tho taxpayers, hence the howl. But this is not all; after the printing of the ballots had been eiven out Commissioner Decker did brine some work to the Star office, without our solicitation, and requested us to have it done by a certain specified time. we did it and wo believe in a satisfactory manner. The price charged was forty per cent less than was charged by the ring papers last year for the same class of work.

For instance, tor making instruction cards (on superior paper), our rate was $3 per thousand while laBt year $4.33 was charged by the lroy Oazette. Again poor, hungering, famishing Aehmun has enabled us to let the people know who their friend is, and tho Star will see that he is not disappointed much longer in learning more about the taxpay ers appeal and the jobbery that has been going on of which he has nan his share. A GROSS WRONG. Last week the Star mentioned the fact that the county had a rtnnrlnrl n-Ktnnnno rC 1 OOO consequence of the building of the new court house. It will be remembered that when these bonds were issued a year ago, they were not awarded to citizens of the county but were given to a Now York syndicate.

As we showed last week the interest upon these bonds will amount to $50,000. This Bum will therefore be taken from the county and paid over to the Wall street bondholders. This interest should have been kept here to again go into circulation through our various channels of business. Fifty thousand dollars withdrawn from our circulating medium will injure business to an extent that is incalculable. No excuse can bo offered for placing these bonds outside of the county as there were scores of people ready, with sums large and small, to have taken every dollar's worth of the bonds had they been given a fair opportunity.

Had the bonds been issued in denominations of $100, or $500 and soon up, they would have been quickly taken by residents of the county and the $50,000 to be paid in interest kept here. This plan could have been pursued as easily as the one that was adopted in the awarding of the bonds. Then why was it done? It is said by some that the local banks were opposed to the bonds being placed in the county for the reason that funds would be withdrawn and their deposits greatly lessened. Another explanation is that certain politicians could see more in it by having the bonds disposed of as a whole, instead of being awarded to many persons. At this time the Star does not venture an opinion, but desires to call the attention of the taxpayers to the fact that a great injustice has been done them and to furnish them points for thoughtful consideration.

Again, the interest on the bonds is made payable in gold; why was it not made payable in the legal money of the State or the United States Why was it nec- to meet it, there will be somo premiums to pay. Surely a fine job. MOHUINU AHOMTiONMTM. Ail Antl-Slftvory Mootlim ltrokon Up In a Country Town. Only a few persons at the present day are aware of tho bitter prejudice which existed in the minds of most people in the free Staten against the early abolitionists, and the calumny, hostility, abuse and even personal violence which these philanthropists were obliged to endure for conscience's sake.

Their wordsand acts were misrepresented, they were accused of all manner of misdemeanors, but had done nothing except obey the command of the Lord to "Open thy uiouth for the dumb," and "Plead the cause of the poor and Some have no doubt read of the mobbing, and murder of Lovejoy at Alton, the dragging of Garrison through the Streets of Boston with a rope around his body, and the breaking np of anti-slavery meetings in the other largo cities, but do not know that anything of the kind ever took place in small country towns. The following facts were given to the writer by his father, 1 nonius Ingham, one of the abolitionists who was present at the meeting hereafter described. In the winter of 1838 an anti-slavory meeting had been called to assemble at the court house in tho borough of Towanda, Bradtord county, Pa. In answer to the call, on the evening appoiuted about twenty or thirty respectable persons from different parts of the county assembled in the court room. They were principally farm ers, of good reputation in the neigh borhoods where they lived.

There was no gas in the town at that time, and the courl room was lighted up with tallow candles. The meeting was called to order by Dr. George F. Horton who norm nated George Gamble for president and he was unanimously elected and took the chair. Soon after the ringing of tho bell, forty or fifty of the town residents, apparently of tne rowoy class, came in together, and Histoid ol taking seats of which there was an abundance, remained standing in a compact body uea the door.

The meeting was opened with prayer by Deacon Giles M. DeWolf of Pike township. While tho prayer was going on, tne rowdies who had provided themselves with a crooked stick and placed it on the floor kept it moving and rolling with their feet. It could be rolled with their feet with scarcely any move ment of their legs and made a noise very annoying, and apparently as mysterious as tne spiritual rap pings ot the Fox family. When the prayer was ended the president stated that Mr.

Chase, the speaker wno nacl Deen expected lrom an ad joining county was present, and Would the meeting. 1 Then the customary calls were made for "Chase!" from the anti-slavery people, but the dis turbers of the meeting commenced shouting "Yes, Chase him out!" Chase him out of the house! Mr. Chase arose and attempted to speak, but the noise and uproar increased so he could not be heard and he sat down. Presently a new idea entered the heads of the rioters and they com menced calling for "John Carter (I think was his name) a colored resident of the town, who with several others of his race had modestly taken a back seat in the vi cinity of he mob. John who knew them well, and knew they had come there to make disturbance and break up the meeting, did not respond to their call.

Thereupon they seized hold of him, dragged mm lrom ma seat, stood him on a chair and told him to "go Forced to speak against his will. John commenced by Baying that his name was not on the list nf speakers, he had not expected to be called upon, was unprepared, and at any rate could not be expected to fill the place of a good speaker like Mr. Chase, He then to the surprise and chagrin of those who had got him np, commenced making a pretty good abolition speech, but was not allowed to go on. Tbey had not come there to hear abolition speeches and they didjnot intend to. "That will do!" cried one.

"Nuff said exclaimed another. "Get down yelled the third. Jonn. who had got warmed up to hi work, and interested in the subject did not instantly obey their command and the chair was kicked from under him. He fell to the floor, not much hurt but badly scared.

After yelling and howling awhile they cried, "Fetch on the fruit!" and accordingly a basket of rotten apples was brought from the rear andthey commenced throwing them first at officers of the meeting, then at Mr. Chase and the other abolitionists present. Had they been practiced base ball pitchers they conld hardly have thrown straight-er. Scarcely a manwas neglected or missed "I was hit square in tho face" said Mr. Gamble afterwards, "but did not feel at all indignant, for I thought they were helping our cause along "Persecution makes converts, tho blood of the martyra is the seed of thechurch." Before the decayed fruit was all gone they commenced throwing at the candles and soon bad them all extinguished, and the room in Egyptian darkness.

Then with Indian whoops and unearthly yells they hurried down stairs and out of doors. Some of the candles were relit; but believing that the mob would again return to disturb the meeting, if an attempt were made to go on they concluded to adjourn. Some of them expected that more rotten apples, and possibly brickbats, would be hurled at them as they came out of the building, but HELP THE BLIND MAN! To restore sight to the sightless is a miracle we do Dot care to attempt bat where the judicious application ol glasses cao aid the vision we can be of great assistance. The glasses themselves should be of the best the lenses, that is the frame may be anything the taste and pocket book prompt but it's the fitting ol the required glass to the eye that tells the story. Whether you shall continue to Butler pain and annoyance or be relieved rests with yourself; we are ready to do our part.

W. H. Webb of Ohio, "Tho Boy Orator of the Buckeye State." Prof. Webb chose for his theme: "The Truo Value of History." The new M. E.

church was occupied for tho occasion and was well filled by an appreciative audience who listened with in- his talk chiefly to American his tory, and very forcibly pointed out many valuable and prominent leS' sons of patriotism. He says. "To tench truo American patriotism, 1 wonld teach American In tho treatment of his subject Prof. Webb evinces extensive hiS' torical research, remarkable mem' ory, excellent command of language and unquestionable conclusions, He is a pleasing and forcible orator, and although he talked two hours and thirty minutes the unanimous verdict was that the least should have been continued. His discus sion extended from the original period until the period of to-day He painted in glowing words and with tributes of praise noble and daring deeds of heroism of the American soldier while in tho de fense of the flag.

Such lectures aro creative of an historical interest that should fill the bosoms of young Americans with pride and joy and cause them to cry out "America, the home of the brave and the land of tho free!" Prof.Webb is the manager of the Western School Supply House. While here he made many friends who were loth to see him make his departure. Mr. M'ebb is a young man 29 years of ago, tall, well proportioned resembling in appearance Wm. Jennings Bryan.

He is a i'uio conversationalist and withal a perfect gentleman. SOUTH WILMOT. Jod. Ebcrlin of Columbia county, visited relatives here last week. C.
