Terms 82.00 Ai Year,in Advance. “Bellefanie, Pa., May 30, 1890. P. GRAY MEEK, - == Evimp RTA A Correct Forecast. It is the opinion of dispassionate political.observers that the Democrat- ic chance of defeeting the Repub licans in this State at the next election de- pends upon:the action of Quay. If “Quay shall -succeed in enforcing his will in the-making of the Republican ticket the result will likely be Repub- lican defeat. This view was expressed the other.day in an interview with ex- ‘Governor Curyin in New York, who, when questioned as to the political sit- uation in Pennsylvania, said : “It looks to me as though Boss Quay would -succeed in forcingiDelamater on his party.” “And if he does? “If he does he would be beaten, that’s all; that is, if the Demoeratic party makes a wise nomination. It is my’opinion that about the only hope the Democrats have of carrying Pennsyl- vania is in the stupidity of Republicans and =the aggressiveness of Quay.” “Governor, how about the recent attacks up- on Mr. Quay’s private character ?” The Governor was emphatic in reply. “Quay has not answered them. Why does he not an- -awer ? No man can afferd to be silent under -such a stigma.” This is unquestionably a correct view of how the political land lays in Pennsylvania at this time. Results depend greatly npon Quay’saction. If be.is aggressive in the making of the State ticket thousands of Republicans will decline to give it their support. And there is every appearance of his determination to be aggressive. :It:Should be Investigated. «Congressman Kerr, of this District, deserves. credit for introdueing into the House a resolution asking for an in- ‘vestigation of the charge that James! CamprELL imported English glass blow- ers into Pennsylvania in violation of the law prohibiting the importation of contract laborers into this country. CamprriL is tbe fellow whose name figured in the recent controversy in the House ‘between Democratic members Bynum and Wirson and Republican member Bay~xe. He is one of the tar- iff shriekers that clamor for high tariff duties to protect American labor, yet he is direetly charged with subjecting that labor to the competition of cheap European workmen whom he was in- strumental in bringing into the country. It is well that he should be ventilated, but it is not likely that a congress that is being run in the interest of monopo- ly will be disposed to investigate Cayp- BELL'S case, and in all probability Mr, KERR'S resolution wiil be tabled. In explaining the recent shut down of the Tiffin woolen mills, one of the largest establishments of the kind in northern Ohio, Superintendent WavuGH can give no other reason for it than the effects of the prevailing tariff which compels woolen manufacturers to stand the expense of paying heavy du- ties on a class of foreign wool which is necessary in the maoutacture of high- grade woolens, and which is not and cannot be produced in this country. “I have been a life-long Republican,” said Mr. Wavcn. “I tell you thous. ands of woolen mill operatives in this couniry, myself among the number, are having their eyes opened to this tariff question.” ——1It is charged that W. H. Ax- DREWS, chairman of the Republican State cOmunittee, is laying wires to de- feat Dox CAMERON'S re-election to the United States Senate. The specific charge is made that the chairman re- cently tried to get A. A. Porter and H. Warrace Broww, Republican candi- dates for re-election to the Legislature, to promise that they would vote for some other candidate than CaMeroN for United States Senator, if they should be re-elected to the Legis- lature—he (Andrews) to name the man when the time came for action. The men thus attempted to be influene- ed declined to put themselves under A~- DREW’s control, but didn’t obligate themselves to keen quiet about the at- tempt that had been made to control them. ——The delegate elections that oc- curred this week have disappointed the expectations of some of the leaders. DevLamaTer got a decided set-back in Franklin county, where the delegates elected will vote in the State conven- tion for anybody but Quay’s candidate. At least such is their declaration, but their present intention may be chang: ed when influence is brought to bear ! upon them. The delegates from Bed- ford were 1nstructed for StoNEg, and he will also get the Elk county dele- gate who is uninstructed. On the Democratic side the Huntingdon dele- tes elected on Monday will vote for pe and those ot Columbia and Mercer for Parison. Farmers and the Censas.

Pattison for the Democratic nomination for Governor was made to-day through ex-Postmaster William F. ~ Harrity. While speaking on the Demceratic out- look Mr. Hrrrity said. : “It has been stated in some localities that Mr. Pattison is not a candidate for Governor, and that if nominated he will not make an active campaign to win. This is a ‘mistake. Ihappen to know authoritatively, and [ speak advisedly when I say that Governor Pattison is a candidate, and will be to the end ; that he will very much appreciate the honor of the nomination for Governor, and that when nominated he will promptly begin an active, energetic and aggressive cam- paign to lead the party to victory as he did in 1882.” ——— How tuEY CouLp TELL.—“I can , always tell when my husband has been | drinking,” said a young wife. *‘Yes ?’” said another young wife. “Yes, I know it the moment he kisses 1 me.’ i “I can always tell when my husband has been drinking,” said the other. “Yes 2" “Yes.

Some years ago, when the oreat Web- ster made light of the abolition move- ment as the work of a few women and clergymen, Calhoun replied that the danger lay in that very fact ; that wom- en were the agitators, To-day a far greater and wider spread evil than ever slavery meant to the African, a bordage which recognizes no color line, nor di- vision of Mason and Dixon to protect it, an evil which annually numbers its vie- tims by tens of thousa.ds, is threatened, and the death kuell of the liquor traffic is being rung from the Atlantic to the Pacific. ‘Who is doing 1t? The agita- tors; ‘the women, who, to-day, are more feared by the liquor sellers than even the “Prince of Darkness 7” himself. He never troubles them ; they are doing his work well and faithfully, and he can safely trust them. The magic letters, ‘W. C. T. U., have been aptly interpret- ed, “women continually trouble us ;” and not only have the dear ladies of Bellefonte been accused of painting green the beautiful bronze angel which continually refreshes both man and beast, and which wns presented to the | City Fathers by the W. C. T. U., and bence is no longer theirs to adorn, but re- cently, when a number of young gentle- men applied to the Court for a charter to open a club room, the Court, seeing fit to deny it, one of our young editors, in criticising the action of the Court, politely (?) spoke of us as “the old wom- en,” and gave us credit for far more in- fluence with the Court than we ever dreamed we possessed. However, these little incidents, trivial in themselves, go | to prove that the man of to-day differs but little from the first man—Adam— in one respect. “The woman whom thou gavest me,” as of old, must hear the censure, ‘We have this year merged our county Convent n i110“ A Sci.ool of Methods.’ We cannot take up all of the different departments of work, but we will dis- cuss those most needed in our own coun- ty. ‘We most earnestly ask you to join in these discussions. That we ure here to help,as well as to be helped,should be the feeling of each member. None of us feel that in the past year we have done what we could. We did faithful work for the Amendment, and doubtless the large majority the county gave in its favor was due to our previous years work. as well as during the campaign; but “Ye did run well, who hath hinder- ed you ?” might be justly said of us since. The discouragement of the de- feat of June 18th, followed by the—we cannot but feel—uncalled for withdraw- al of some of onr faithful workers, to form a new organizatiin in the State, has been hard to rally from; but the loyal responses from every Union in our | county are to-day a great encourage- ment, and old Centre presents an un- broken front in the ranks of the W. (. T. U. Wethank our Heavenly Father that He has preserved this peace and harmony among our members ; and though we may not all see with one eye, let us all “Strive to live with an eye sin- gle to God’s glory.” Let me urge upon you a more thor- ough consecration and a more determin- ed effort to increase our membership. | We do not doubt that the Lord has? laid the werk upon us, nor that as He hath led in the past, so He will continue to lead. We believe thatout of the defeats, and apparently adverse decisions of higher and lower courts, He is overrul- ing all to ring about His own plans. Our eyes are only holden for a little sea- son. The recent decisions of the Na- tional Supreme Court, in the Kansas ligour case, namely : that any State has a right to ship liquor into u Prohibition State without molestation, or seizure, but proves that Prohibition, to be effec- tive, must be made a National issue. Mr. Lincoln said of slavery that “the public mind must rest in the belief. that 1t is in the process of extinction.” So we believe that all these current events are God’s answers to the cries of Iis people. Last year our work suffered from lack of system. This year let me urge upon officers and superintendents of local Un- ions, when appointed to at once com- municate with County officers and sup- erintendents in regard to their wor, thereby “stirring up the pure minds” of County superintendents and increasing their diligence in the work. Our State has made scientific temperance instruc- tion the work of the year. Let every Union see that a capable, intelligent woman, whose heart isin the work, fills the office of superintendent, and those who are neither officers nor superintend- ents should be the Aarons and Hurs, holding up the hands of the workers, both with words of encouragement and liberal pocket books. Weare =o happy ourselves in having a iarge-liearted Mrs, Aaron as one of our members, that it we tell it, it may be suggestive to others. A few days ago our treasurer received a check from this generous member for $30, not her first either, for last year she gave us $20, and has for several years given us these pleasant surprises, never binding the gift with any suggestions or limitations; thus showing her confi- dence in the honesty and faithfulness of our efficient treasurer. No good cause can be carried on successfully unless those who are interested learn to give towards it. Money is needed, and money should be supplied to carry on the Juvenile and Sunday school work in every local Union. Papers, cards, prizes fof essays on alcohol, tobacco and kindred topics, should be in the hands of our workers to attract and educate children. Literature should be scatter- ed freely and good temperance papers be in the homes of gur ministers, school superintendents and day-school teachers. Dear sisters,do not forget that the little bow of white ribbon is itselt an educu- tor; keep it for every day use, not pinn- ed on the dress or coat ‘aleve that you wear to the meeting. Remember it means, “I am pledged to do all in my power to promote the cause of temper- ance.” Let it be so much a part of you that when your busy hands ure peace- fully folded, loving hands will pin the little bow in its place, for you wonld not lock like mother or sister with- out it. I close with the advice of our beloved Francis Willard, “Never speak a dis- couraging word of the work or the work- ers’. And whate’er thou findest to do, do that thy best.” “Think not of self, nor what will be thy gain ; . Relinquish not one whit of toil, whatever be thy pain.” ree me svar — Senator Wallace Speaks. James R. Tyson, of Reading, a mem- ber of the county agricultural society, a few days ago asked William A. Wallace this, by letter: “Upon what grounds can the farmers of Berks or any other counties of Pennsylvania claim that your nomination and election as Gover- nor of this state would condict with the interests of the farmers? Is there any known reason for this assertion ?” In his reply, promptly given, Mr. - Wallace says: “In my record as Sena- tor, both at Harrisburg and at Washing- | ton, neither speech nor vote of nine can be found upon which to base such an opinion. It was and is my constant effort as a public man to be just toevery important interest in the state, and I never by vote orspeech have discriminat- ed against the agricultural interest, for a long lease of production and prosperity in that field are vital to prosperity in every other. I have repeatedly written and spoken against the system of double taxation that now oppresses it. In my professional life I have never been what is commonly known as a corporation at- torney. Since retiring from legal prac- tice I have aided in building railroads to develop the mineral resources of the sec- tion of the state in which I live, and un- til September, 1889, I acted for four years, without salary, as the president of one of those railroads. In the history of my public and professional life, which is open to all, I believe it will be found that I have tried to do my duty toward all of the people. I awn very sure that sich has been my aim, and such it will continue to be whether in official life or in that of private citizen.” Republican Papers on Quay. Unless Senator Quay takes some no- tice of the charges of the New York World and the Evening Post, the general public will take it for granted that he is a scoundrel. Does the Senator think these specific indictments are child’s play ?—Topeka. Capital. Should the Pennsylvania Senator be ambitious to hold hereafter some higher positior. than he has yet held,and should these same charges then be preferred against aim, he would have to meet and refute them, else they might seriously interfere with the realization of that ambition.—Columbus State Journal. A United States Senator, the manager of the Republican party’s campaign, an active man in the high councils of the nation, the obligation of Quay to weet the charges is more than a personal one, and, if he fails to do so,the party has but the one thing to do, to repudiate utterly the man and his methods. — Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette. Senator Quay is putting the wrong in- terpretation on the adage “Silence is golden.” Perhaps he means to stick to his own axiom. “Addition, division and silence.” If so, either the Repubiican party or Mr. Quay must pay the penal- ty. Which shall it be ?—Minneapolis Journal. Senator Quay is deservedly praised for his habit of reticence, but there are times in the lives of all men when they need to say something, and he is just now facing a situation of that sort.— Missouri Globe-Democrat. Now, Mr. Quay is not only active in the management of party uffairs, but he represents the great State of Pennsyl- vanian in the United States Senate. If these charges are true he should be com- pelled to seek the obscurity which alone can shelter such a criminal record. If they are false he owes it to himself, to his State and to his party,to demand an investigation, and to punish as they de- serve the men who make defamation of private character the instrument of polit- ical hate. Too long time has already elapsed since these things were published without any move to inquire into or re- fute them. Mr. Quay cannot afford to maintain silence a day longer.—Se. Paul Pioneer Press. SR RAS San. Paid High for His Revenge. dn Dwa Farmer Charged $700 for a Tar and Feather Exploit. It costs just $700 to tar and feather a man in Iowa. C. A. Chambers,a wealthy farmer near Thurman, was assessed that amount by a jury recently. In Novem- ber last he sent his wife to Hot Springs, Ark., for treatment for some nervous affection. While she was absent some suspicion was aroused that all wasn’t right between her and a school teacher named Wolfenberger, who had come from Monroe county. After the wife started for home a long letter from Wolfenberger was picked up in the room she had vacated at Hot Springs and forwarded to the husband. It began with the warmest protesta- tions of love, and showed in exact terms that numerous letters of a simi- lar kind had passed between them. As soon as the husband received the letter he consulted his brother and some of the neighbors, and they con- cluded that a coat of tar and feathers would be appropriate punishment. On the evening of December 16, after schocl hours, the outraged husband and his brother and the brother of his wife met at the school-house, and after reading the letter to Wolfenberger, and after his confession that he wrote and sent it, they applied a coat of tar An Experiment in Preventing the In- | juries of Potato Rot.
