CHAEFFER, Chairman.
Pattison and the Presidency.
A great deal of interest is being tak-
en in the question of Governor Parri-
soN’s candidacy for the presidential of-
fice, an interest that is being felt both
in Pennsylvania and in other states.
Some assume that the Governor has
an ambition of that kind and is work-
ing to that end, but such an assump-
tion should be exploded by the words
of one who stands near him in a cabi-
net relation—Mr. HarriTY, Secretary
of the Commonwealth, who in an inter-
view with a representative of the Phil-
adelphia Ledger, some days ago, made
the following interesting statement.
Governor Parrisox has made no effort to in-
vite attention to himself as a candinate. I am
disposed to think that he and most of his
friends regard Mr. CLeveraNp as still the
strongest and most available candidate, not-
withstanding the opposition that has appeared
in some quarters.
The fact that Mr. Parison twice carried Re-
publican Philadelphia as a candidate for con-
troller, and that he twice carried Republican
Pennsylvania for governor, gives him a politi-
cal record as an available candidate that isun-
surpassed by any other leading Democrat in
this country. Add to this an unsullied record
as a public official and private citizen, and you
give the needed strength and character to
make it easily understood why Governor Par-
misoNn has been so frequently and favorably
mentioned as a strong and available candidate
for the presidential nomination. But, as I
have already said, the governor is giving him-
Beif no concern about the matter. He believes
his duty is to the State which has twice elect-
ed him governor, and to that duty he is con-
scientiously applying himself.
Independent of Mr. HARRITY'S Sta‘e-
ment there is reason to believe that the
Governor 1s an admirer and friend of
Mr. CLEVELAND and believes him to be
the strongest and most available candi-
date, and there is every evidence that
the ex-President has not lost his hold
on the confidence of the Pennsylvania
Democracy.
——That venerable financier, Sena-
tor Jou~x SuErMaN, has written a let-
The Banner Bogus State.
In extent Nevada is a large State,
more than twice as large as Peunsyl-
vania, haying an area of 104,125 square
miles, but the census of 1890 shows
that it has a population of but 45,761,
about the same as that of Centre
county.
With this paucity of population the
citizens of Nevada carry on a regular
State government, with a Governor,
Legislature and Supreme Court, and
they are represented in the National
Congress by two United States Senators
and a Representative. Up to thistime
the revenues of the State have been
able to meet the expenditures. But
with a population steadily decreasing,
it will be a problem in the near future
to decide what shall be done with a
sovereign State without any of the
qualifications which befit statehood ?
his pocket borough sovereignty
was admitted into the Union back in
the sixties, at the time wher the silver
mining industry was being well worked
and when there was a bare prospect
that there might be a great future in
store for a section of country which is
almost a desert as far as fertility of the
soil is concerned. Her admission into
the Union was also helped along by the
Republican party for a political pur-
pose. For some years after it became
a State it continued to show a slight
increase in population, which never
attained very high figures, however,
and during the past few years the pop-
ulation has been steadily declining:
Another National bank has gone
to the bad, the First National of As-
bury Park. Its closing up develops
the same old, old story, A crooked
and spendthrift president, by reckless
speculation, and the erecting of an ex-
travagant bank building, brings the in-
stitution to ruin, and loss on the stock-
holders and depositors.
A Great Organization.
The meeting of the Young People’s
Christian Endeavor Society at Minne-
opalis last week gave an insight into
the wonderful growth of this organiza-
tion. The delegates in attendance
numbered 20,000, representing a mem-
bership of fully a million. The growth
this organization to its present propor-
tions is one of the wonders of the relig-
ious world. Ten years ago less than a
score of bright girls and half as many
smart, enthusiastic, and pushing wo-
men met in Portland, Maine, and or-
ganized the society, which has since
become the largest in the world in
point of numbers. Now local societies
of Christian Endeavor are found in
nearly every town and neighborhood
in the country, and branches of the
parent society have been organized in
all parts of the world. When we re-
call the past, that in 1882, there were
but two Christian Endeavor Societies,
with 481 members, in existence, and
that to-day there are 13,000 societies,
with a membership of a million, we
may well be astonished at its marvel-
ous growth,
——Chairman Kerr well merited
the many expressions of confidence and
good will he received at the Philadel-
phia conference of Democratic commit-
teemen and congressmen last week.
The Ohio Situation.
Governor CampBELL of Ohio was re-
nominated by the Democratic State
Convention on Wednesday, as was
foreshadowed by previous indications.
He richly deserves this endorsement,
for he has made an excellent Gover-
nor, but notwithstanding the excellent
quality of his official acts and his ac-
knowledged ability to perform the du-
ties of Governor, his re-election is
doubtful. Ohio is usually a Republi-
can State, and McKINLEY, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, is the
unanimous choice of a united party.
This is one obstacle in Governor
CAMPBELL'S road to success in this
campaign, but in addition to this
the Hamilton county gang, which is
his bitter and unrelenting foe, will do
everything in their power to bring
about his defeat. Besides the consid-
erable defecticn which may be expect-
ed in the Democratic vote in Hamil-
ton county, it must be remembered
that even with a united Democracy it
is hard to overcome the natural Re-
publican majority in Ohio. The Demo-
crats will make a gallant fight, bat,
taking all the circumstances into con-
sideration, if they should be defeated
it would not have a significant bearing
upon the contest of next year.
The New Sugar Bounty.
A dispatch from Washington states
that the maple sugar growers seem to
be budding by the score from every
limb of every tree that looks like eith-
er a maple or an oak in the country.
The new sugar bounty of 2 cents per
pound exp'ains the buds. From pre-
sent indications, based upon recent re-
gearch, the output of maple sugar is to
be computed at about 450,000,000
pounds, the bounty on which will be
$9,000,000. Internal revenue officials
are beginning to be amazed. At this
rate the Government will have as
many sugar barnacles fastened upon it
as there are dead beats clinging to the
Pension Bureau. It shows the danger
arising from a system of bounties.
A Damaging Disclosure.
One of the most damaging disclosures
that has been made in connection with
the Bardsley case was that announced
on Wednesday by the experts who are
overhauling the accounts of the con-
victed Ex-City Treasurer. They dis-
covered from his check book that be
had paid money to Auditor General
McCammant and to State Treasurer
Livsey. Unless these gentlemen can
explain away this evidence as it ap
pears in the check book of the de-
faulting city treasurer, they will have
to stand charged with a grave offense.
They are blamed with gross neglect in
allowing BARDSLEY to be in arrears in
the payment of money due the State,
in consequence of which neglect the
default grew to such vast proportions.
If it should appear that it was worse
than neglect—that the indulgence al-
lowed Barpsney was purchased, the
offense becomes one of the gravest
character. We trust that these high
officials may be able to give such an
explanation of these checks as will as-
sure the public that they were not
bought by JoEN BARDSLEY.
“ter on the silver question. He is op-
posed to changing the present laws re-
gulating the national coiuage, and sees
financial ruin ahead in case®the free
silver ideas prevail. The old Senator
is evidently nearing the time for his re-
tirement.
The probably fatal illness of
Rev. Cuarres H. SpurcroN, the cele-
brated London preacher, is a matter
of world-wide interest. Perhaps no
living clergyman is so well known,and,
indeed, but few ever did attain the rep-
utation he has. He is known to hun-
dreds of thousands who have listened
to his sermons or have read them.
The secret of his great success as a
pulpit orator and as a minister has long
been hunted for, but never satisfactori-
ly found. He has made successful
everything he has put his hand to from
the time he was known as ‘the boy
preacher.” His position in the relig-
ious world is not easily explained. He
is known as a Baptist, but in reality he
has wandered a good ways from that
denomination. Whatever he 1s, he
has done a remarkable work, and has
always held his immense congregation.
The death of Spurceox will leave a
place not easily filled.
——1It is reported that the Baldwin
Locomotive works, Philadelphia, have
received an order for twenty compound
locomotives from Brazil. The same
firm not long ago sent a shipload of
locomotives to Australia. As our loco-
motive builders are able to export their
locomotives—$1,280,000 worth last
year, against none imported—what is
the use of the 45 per cent. duty which
was retained by the McKinleyites?
High duties have become a habit
with our tariff makers—ttat is all.
The congressmen-elect who were pre-
sent declared in favor of his election as
clerk of the next House, and we are
glad to learn that there is every little
question of his success. His qualifica-
tions for that responsible position are
of a high order, and he hasa host of
friends among the gentlemen who will
compose the majority in the next House
of Representatives.
They Have Not Been Decetved.
President HARrrIsoN's round-the-cir-
cle speeches, published in pamphlet
form by the intrepid SHEPARD of New
York, are being extensively circulated
at the South, but, according to the
Nashville Banner, under an entire mis-
calculation of Southern sentiment. It
8ayS :
What Mr. HagrrmoN saw was merely the im.
stinetive hospitality which every Southerner
accords to the stranger who comes under his
roof. Mr. Harrison came as a distinguished
guest, and as such he was received. But his
pleasant speeches, though happy in language
and sentiment, deceived nobody. The South
ern people remembered that he calumniated
them before all the world, and the hollow
mockery of his newspaper compliments will
not erase the recollection of his efforts to deliv
er them over as the lawful prey of the negro
barbarian and the scallawag thief.
Surely the Bayonet Bill represented
Mr. Harrison's sentiments toward the
South more clearly than his compli
mentary speeches.
—— The Farmers’ Alliance in Kan-
sas is about to engage in a great co-
operative scheme for the control of
farm products, etc. There is much in
theory to recommend co-operation, but
the scheme of the Alliance looks much
like a project to corner the products of
the farm. No class has vociferated
against the trusts more loudly than the
Kansas farmers.
—Treasurer WRIGHT,of Philadelphia’
hes already handed in to the State
Treasury $400,000 on account of money
collected by BARDSLEY since January
1st. Public money when it gets in the
hands of a Democratic official usually
goes to the right place.
——The 14th of July is celebrated
by the French as the Americans cele-
brate the 4th. It is the anniversary of
the day when the French revolution-
ists, one hundred and two years ago,
destroyed the Bastile, the fortress of
despotism which for ages was used for
the imprisonment of the victims of
tyranny. Last Tuesday the anniver-
sary of this event was celebrated in
Paris with unusual demonstrations,
the people and the army participating
with equal enthusiasm. The general
observance of the day throughout
France, with unprecedented fervor,
plainly indicates that the republican
spirit has fully taken possession of the
French people, and that the republic
is firmly established.
——Houn. Grorce A. JENKS says
that the railroad companies are all in
favor of the proposed constitutional
convention, and he says their object is
to make such a change in the present
constitution as will eliminate the
clauses that impose objectionable r e-
strictions upon them. It is true these
restrictions have never been enforced,
but it took a great deal of these corpo-
——1It is suggested in some quarters
| that negro workmen from the South
be brought into Pennsylvania to take
the place of the Hungarians and other
objectionable foreign workmen in the
coal and coke operations. Whatever
there may be to recommend such a
suggestion, it is, after all, but a ques-
tion of cheapness to the proprietors of
the mines and coke ovens. Ifit can
be shown that the negroes will work
more cheaply than the Huns they will:
be ‘preferred. Otherwise they will not.
The beneficiaries of protection want to
have their work done at as small a
cost as possible.
——The new wheat crop promises
to be not only one of the most abun-
dant in the agricultural history of the
country, but also of a very high quality.
Of six days receipt of the new wheat at
Chicago 81 per cent. was of the high-
est standard of excellence.
—— BarbsLey has been put to wood-
work in the penitentiary. That he has
some talent in this line is shown by
the work he has already done in help-
ing to make the coffin for the Republi-
can party in Pennsylvania.
~——Governor CampBeLL, of Ohio,
notwithstanding a bitter and unsecru-
pulous opposition, was renominated on
Welnesday on the first ballot by a
large majority. It remains to be seen
whether the factional spirit will be car
riedinto the election. We hope not.
--The impression is growing among
the people that the holding of a consti-
tutional convention might lead to con-
stitution tinkering that wouldn't be
beneficial to the State.
Three Awful Deaths.
Summoned to Their Maker Without a
Moment's Warning.
The Sunbury Daily tells of three sad
and terrible deaths as follows: Joe
Keefer and Joe Hickson, two tinners,
while engaged in placing a tin roof on
the top of the cupola atthe Danville
asylum Saturday morning, were hurled
to the ground, a distance of eighty
feet. Both men were killed instantly,
their bodies being crushed beyond recog-
nition. About 8 o’clock Keefer, who is
well and favorably known throughout
Northumberland county, climbed the
high scaffolding andin a few minutes
was engaged at his work. It was nearly
9 o'clock when Hickson, whose child
had been sick, detaining him from work
for several hours, joined Keefer on the
lofty tower. It was customary for the two
men, while employed in the dangerous
occupation, to tie themselves together
with a rope, which was securely fasten-
ed to the cupola. In some manner
Keefer slipped, and before he could
catch himself, dashed cver the trestling.
He screamed to Hickson, who was a
few feet from him, “Hold on to the rope
and we will be saved.” The warning
failed to reach the latter in time and he
too was drawn from his position and a
moment later the two tinners lay on
the pavement below a mass of crushed
humanity.
Isaac Paul,a laborer employed at the
Cameron colliery, at Shamokin, while
descending No. 3 slope,Saturday morn-
ing, lost his balance and fell to the bot-
tom, a distance of three hundred yards.
When picked up life was extinct.

A GrirL’s FIGHT WITH A BLACK-
SNAKE. —Last Wednesday while Miss
Laura Leininger, of Penn township,
Huntingdon county, was picking black-
berries in a dense growth of bushes, she
suddenly felt her arm tightly in the coils
of a huge blacksnake. Before she real-
ized her danger the snake had thrown
its tail around her right wrist, render-
ing her almost helpless in its terrible
folds.
Miss Leininger screamed for help,
but as she did so the snake thrust out
its fiery fangs and made a strike at her
lips. Quick as thought the girl grasped
the monster by the neck with her left
hand and tore it from her arm. Before
she released herself, however, the snake
had bitten her hand several times,
The heroine dispatched his snakeship
and went to her home,where the wounds
were dressed. Laura is the daughter of
Martin Leininger, and,excepting a great
nervous shock and a swollen hand, she
does not suffer any inconvenience.

evening to assist in the project of se-

Asylum near this place. The meeting
was organized by electing Mr. Geo.

read from the State commission stating
that the committee would start on the
trip to choose a location about the

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR AT PHIL-
IPSBURG. — We are pleased to announce
that in all probability Bishop John H.
Vincent, of Chautauqua, N. Y., will be
here in a few days to spend a week with
the companion of his boyhood years,
Rev. J. H, McGarrah, with a view of
securing a short but very much needed
rest. Tha Bishop's health at present is
not very good, and he wrote a letter to
Mr. McGarrah suggesting that they
both take a week off and visit the old
tramping grounds near McVeytown and
other places in that section. Mr. Me-
Garrah wrote back to the Bishop that
he would be pleased to join him in the
trip he suggests, but previous to carry-
ing out this very pleasant part of the
programme, he urges him to come to
Philipsburg and spend a week or ten
days, where he can inhale pure moun-
tain air and secure as much if not more
real benefit than can be derived in any
other locality in the State. It is expect-
ed, of course, that the Bishop will accept
Mr. McGarrah’s invitation, and be here
in a few days.
The Bishop,as stated above, is in bro-
ken health and may not be able for any
public service,but if he should be in con-
dition to speak, our people may look
out for a treat in the way of sermon or
lecture, or both.--Philipsbury Jour-

Toe Cummings HOUSE AGAIN —
Now that the excitement which attend-
ed a gala day, such as we experienced
on the fourth of July, bas passed, there
is a second thing to take into considera-
tion, and while a number of our citizens
busied themselves in decorating the
town, the entertainment of strangers
and feeding of horses had to be accept-
ed by only a few aho were able and
bad ample room for their accommoda-
tion ; and right bere it is highly proper
to say that in point of accommodation
and entertainment Gotlieb Haag again
proved to the public that the house
which he keeps is necessary to the
town, from the fact that over six hun-
dred people were furnished with meals
at his table on the 4th, and over two
hundred horses were ted at his stables,
while he also entertained the Sheridan
troop from Tyrone, feeding and lodging
them. Besides Mr, Haag was liberal in
his contribution for the purpose of mak-
ing the day a success, and gave every
encouragement to the celebration, The
1 people went away well pleased, and the
verdict of the public is simply this, that
where a house is well kept, as is the
Cpmmings House, and where people
