On Tuesday March came roaring in
Like a lion off its pegs ;
But out ’twill go—Iltke Mary’s lamb,
With tail between its legs.
—Umbrellas and your spare change
will find no trouble in keeping Lent.
It’s a trifle old, but we can’t resist
the temptation.
SIMMONS,
—What a fearful dose of reciprocity
young Mrs, BLAINE gave her illustrious
pap-in-law—that was.
—HILL's convention is a thing of the
past, but the rural districts of Pennsyl-
vania are beginning to be heard from.
— Embracing opportunities, especially
when it comes in the form of a pretty
maiden with a snug inheritance, is pot
such a bad job after all.
—If the hordes of immigrants still
continue to flock to our shores they
will have our poor old eagle squeezed
clear off his perch of arrows and the
olive branch.
—Sir JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE, the Brit-
ish minister and JAs. G. BLAINE have
patched up the Behring sea trouble for
an arbitration committee. Some one
will be skinned.
-~-REED at last has some consolation.
The Supreme court has sutained his ar-
bitrary counting of a quorum. Mr.
Crisp will never take advantage of the
precedent however.
—New York papers should adopt
Volapuk. Then the denizens of the
conglomerate American metropolis could
all read the news of their own city with-
out the need of interpreters.
—Some writers, they say, wield facile
pens; but simply portray the state of
their livers. We're different, you
know: for when troubled that way,
we simply resort to our scissors.
—JAY GourLp has bought $10,000
worth of the road to glory stock, and if
his health don’t improve he intends se-
curing a controlling interest and will
then run his own train right up,
——To the romantic young woman
whose ambition it is to have exalted lov-
ers, we would suggest the placing of a
tack in the seat of the parlor chairs.
"Twill not take long to make he rose.
—BLAINE'Ss diplomatic career has
come to an inglorious end. When
blarneying nations Jingoism worked all
well and good, but when it came to a
hapless female ‘twas quite a difterent
thing.
-~HaArrsoN will doubtless be a
staunch supporter of the six year presi-
idential term bill, but it will all be work
for another fellow. Help it along BEN-
XY for we want a3 long a pull. as possi-
ble when we get in .
--One year ago the Emparor ot Ger-
many couldn’t even raise enough hair
on his face for an imposing beard,but hs
has suzceeded in raising the devil with
his subjects since the hopes of a hirsute
appendage wera blighted.
—1It was indeed no wonder poor MAH-
ER was so badly whipped, on Wednes-
day night. The fact that he actually
threw up a battle and a sponge, into the
bargain, is evidence enough that his
trainer did not allow him a proper diet.
—TALMAGE’S Brooklyn Tabernacle is
tobe taken from him by the unpaid
contractor and it is highly probable that
the lanky divine will have to “put up”
some of his cargo of relics which he
brought from the holy land three years
ago.
-~Fossil pumpkin seeds 2000 years old
have been found in a mound out in Illi-
nois. What a great boon it would have
been to biographers of the HARRISON
family if they had only been tound in
Indiana. Taere would have been no
trouble in tracing its origin than.
——Thealpha and the omega of the
third party is its platform, but the
planks are not thick enough to bear the
weight of all the fanatics who will want
to crawl onto it. There will be lots of
room underneath, however, without
much danger of any light being hid un-
der a bushel.
-=The Art committee of the World's
Fair commission might find it advan
tageous to gather up the wall flowers
found nightly at the social gatherings
thoughout the land, and use them for
decorative purposes. Perhaps none of
them would object to being pressed into
éarvice--with the accent on the prassed.
—The Senate has decided that it
would be altogether propar for our gov-
ernment to return the Mexican flags
captured during the war with that coun-
try. What justification they can find
in giving up tbe honorable trophies of

would like to give: Texas back to the

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
VOL. 37.
BELLEFONTE, PA., MARCH 4,
Dont Overlook Us.
seer.
The politicians and president mak-
ers, who for months back have been
speculating on the chances of carrying
certain states, and considering the
strength or weakness of the different
candidates, named as probable nomi-
nees, seem to overlook many contin-
gencies that may arise during the cam-
paign and many opportunities that
stand waiting for Democratic accept-
ance.
The New York World last week con-
tained an article on each of the States
of Towa and Illinois, and after show-
ing an encouraging outlook for each of
these going Democratic, asked “What
is the matter with Iowa?’ “What is
the matter with Illinois ?”’
We know that if any one would pre-
dict that Pennsylvania, under certain
conditions, might be classed as doubt-
ful in the coming presidential contest,
he would be laughed at by outsiders as
a political fool." But outsiders some
times do not understand just what they
are talking about, and often base their
opinions more upon public impression
that substantial facts.
Pennsylvania of course ie a republi-
can state, and under ordinary circums-
stances, in a presidential fight, can be
counted on for a Republican majarity,
ranging anywhere from 25,000 to 75,
000.
But “ordinary circumstances” will
not be met with in the coming cam-
paign, and the results heretofore re-
corded were give away majorities—
conceded before the campaign opened
and allowed the Republicans without
an effort to overcome them, simply be-
cause such an effort was considered
hopeless, and Pennsylvania influence
and Pennsylvania funds were demanod-
ed and used to carry other States, that
showed better prospects of success at
the opening of the contest,
tion to-day, and should not be counted
out of the struggle in 1892. Tt is nota
certain Republican State, under exist-
ing coaditions. . Elements; that have
been at work for years, have produced
results that make it ground for a hope-
ful contest.
In no other State in the Union is the
Republican party so broken and dis-
rupted by boss rule.
In no State has the Republican
nominee—who will be BENjaMIN Har-
RISON——30 few earnest friends or active
admirers.
In no State has the Republican tarift
been so bitterly disappointing in its ef-
fects, and no where in the entire coun-
try has its evil influences been so dis-
astrous to the welfare of the farmers
and the workingmen, who expected to
profit by it.
These three causes alone : the Quay
senatorial fight ; the unpopularity of the
proposed nominee, and the paralyzing
effects of Republican tariff legislation,
will make Pennsylvania Democratic if
the proper course is pursued and the
fight is not given up in advance.
There are 450,000 Democrats within
the State ready to do their best in the
interest of principles they bold dear.
There are 20,000 Republican farmers
who have paid tribute to other interests
through tariff taxes, until they have
grown tired of this robbery and are
ready to vote for the relief a change of
administration would bring. There
are 30,000 honest and independent Re-
publicans, who, to rebuke Quay and
defeat his infamous bossism, will re-
fuse to vote the ticket, if its success is
to continue his power as distributor of
patronage and dictator of nominees.
And there are thousands of creatures,
who follow his lead and do his bidding,
ready to vote against it, if this is not to
be the result of that ticket's success.
Then there are tens cf thousands of
workingmen whose bellies are as hol-
low as a June shad’s and whose backs
are as bare asa shorn sheep, from the
effects of a Republican tariff, who have
heretofore voted the Republican ticket,
believing its policy of protection was
for their benefit, but who have discov-
ered that it brings them nothing but
want of work, want of food and want
of clothes, who will be against Hag-
risoN and the “protection” he will be
compelled to’ advocate.
Pennsylvania Farmers are crying to
get from under the harrow of unholy
taxation, Pennsylvania Workingmen
are out of employment or existing on
the most beggarly wages. Pennsyl:
vania Republicans are faction-torn and
boss ridden, What is there to prevent
it being carried by the Democracy ?
The people want a change.
That is the way they will get it.
Pennsylvania Democrats, have since
the new constitution went into effect,
less than twenty years ago, carried the
State five different times.
Do you know that Geo. W. DErLa-
MATER received more Republican votes
in this State than any man ever placed
upon that ticket,except Jas. G. BLAINE
and BexyamiN Harrison, and yet Par
TISON beat him 16.554 votes ?
Do you know that BLAINE was thous-
ands upon thousands of votes stronger,
with the Republicans of Pennsylvania,
than any possible nominee of that
party ean be, and yet he had but 9,693
more votes as a candidate for president
in 1884, than was given to ParTISON
in 1888.
BLAINE is out of the way.
Quay will be busy enough in taking
care of Quays senatorial chances.
‘I'he tariff has proven a failure.
Harrison is without friends who can
manipulate, or workers who are in
earnest.
The Democracy WiLL be united.
What is the matter with Pennsyl-
vania ?
A Blighted Prosperity.
Down at Danville, which at one
time was one of the busiest and most
prosperous iron towns within the State,
the same blight that has struck Belle-
fonte buziness, seems to prevail. The
Intelligencer,in referring to the condition
of trade, says ‘“‘our streets are filled
“with 1dle men, the sills are working
“with half force, many families are
“continually pressing the Poor Direc-
“tors for outdoor relief and store keep-
“ers stand listless behind their counters
“waiting for customers.” And as it is
| ce 3 Yomi
Pennsylvanigs in a different condi- | there and here, so is it in every other
town, where labor seeks employment,
or the populace depends upon manu-
‘factories for the wages ‘that furnish
bread.
Under the operations of the McKin-
LEY bill there are more farnaces out of
blast, more mills that are silent, more
manufactories that have ceased work,
and more unemployed labor, more
begging, tramps and destitution, than
has ever been kaown before. Had it
not been for the bouatiful crops that a
productive soil and merciful God, gave
us last season, how much better oft
would we be to-day, with all our op-
portunities and possibilities, than the
starving Russian peasantry is?
~ And yet we are told that a protective
tariff,such as the McKINLEY bill gives
us,is a blessing and insures prosperity.
Nothing Due It.
One of the Republican organs of
Tioga county, we do not remember
which one, has an article in last week’s
issue under the heading : “what the
Republican party owes itself.” We
read no further than the caption, and
do not know what particular claim
that organization seta up against it-
self. The Republican party may be
indebted to the Republican party, to
any extent it sees proper to cook up
and acknowledge claims, but certainly
no one else is. No government, no
state, no principle, no interest, no peo-
ple anywhere in this broad land owes
it a farthing or a good wish.
Under every circumstance in which
it has been placed it has promptly
drawn its pay in advance for all that it
has done. It has at no time left any-
thing stand to its credit.
When it worked for a president and
could not elect one it stole the office.
When offices were its reward,and it had
the power, it took all there was of
them and made as many more as pos-
sible. When money was the object
for which its efforts were put forth, it
cleaned out the treasury of the billions
of dollars it contained, and increased
the tariff taxes onthe people, that it
might have more. When power was
what it was after, it was willing to rob
the people through the indefensible
operations of an infamous election bill.
When it assisted thieves it demanded
its tall share of the booty. When it
aided corporate monopelies it was
prompt to see that it received its por-
tion of their profits. When it built up
favorite interests, it bled them freely
for election expenses.
And 80 on through the entire history
1892. NO. 9.
of its every act, effort or purpose, it has
at the time demanded and received the
lion’s share of whatever of glory, pow-
er or profit there was in it.
So far as claims are concerned it has
none. It has been paid in full by every
one,—individual or interest—for all
that it has done, and whatever account
it may have against itself, is a matter
in which the public has no concern.
It should settle with itself at once, and
retire from business.
How Desperately They Clutch at the
Lezst Vestige of Hope.
The Republican press of the country
is still in desperate straits over the tin
plate dilemma, into which the McKix-
LEY bill has plunged its party. The
boom which American industries were
to have received, has failed to materi-
alize and now the supporters of the
measure find themselves face to face
with the fact, indisputable, that tin
plate, which before the passage of the
McKINLEY law sold at $4.40 a box,
now stands at $5.60, and as soon as the
enormous stock, imported just before
the new duty was placed upon it, is
exhausted it will still go higher.
The infant tin manufactories of
America have utterly failed in their
attempts to bring an American product
into the home markets in competition
with the foreign manufactures even
though fostered by an iniquitous tariff.
At a recent meeting of the canned
goods paclzers, of this country, held in
Chicago, Mr. Stanford, manager of the
American, Tin Plate Co., at Elwood,
Indiana, made the following remarks :
“I may state that uniil recently I
“was one of the tin plate monopoly of
“South Wales, where I spent about
“twenty years in that particular trade.
“[ came to this country about four
“months ago with a view of ranking
“with the pioneers of the American tin
“plate industry. The more I see the
“more I learn of the country the more
“I like it, and also the more I am con-
“vinced that America is going to manu-
“facture her own tin plates, and at a
“very near future, and at a lower cost
“than they have ever been made.”
He did not attempt however to ex-
plain why the price of tin has taken
such a wonderful jump within the past
few weeks neither did he tell his audi-
tors why he left his monopolistic con-
freres in Wales and came to be
an = American manufacturer, “one
of the pioneers of the’ American
tin-plate industry.” We are not so
easily deceived as to believe that the
glory (?) to be derived from being a
pioneer #n such a business brought
Mr. StaNForD here, nor are we com-
pelled, like the Republican press, to
accept such statements ‘of future possi-
bilities as justification for an exorbi-
tant duty, but we are rather led to sup-
pose that the hope of reaping the bene-
fits from such a tax was the lode-stone
which drew Mr. Stanrorp and others
of his class to our shores.
American tin mines cannot begin to
supply the demand in our home mar-
kets and it is unjust that we should be
compelled to pay such a duty simply |
to support a few 6x10 plants which
English capitalists have been shrewd
enough to start.
——JaMEs G. DBraiNe has again
demonstrated the fact that he knowns |
when and how to take the public into
his confidence, if he would have its
sympathy, and that he can display the
same tact and diplomacy in domestic
affairs that he does in political. For
weeks the papers have noted aod com-
mented on the progress of the divorce
proceedings at Deadwood, S. D.; but
nothing could have given the case
more prominence, than his story of his
son’s unfortunate marriage, that was
sent out, Monday morning, by the as-
sociate press as the chiet topic of the
day. Coming as’ it did, when no im-
portant matters occupied the public, it
has created no little surprise aad eriti-
cism, for Mr. BLAINE has been perfect-
ly silent all through the disgraceful af-
fair. However, it is well to hear’both
sides of a story and no one could read
the testimony at the Dakota Court and
not be prejudiced against Mrs, BLAINE,
the ‘elder. Mr. Blaine is justi-
fied in denouncing Father Ducky;
for no priest or preacher has any right
to sanction and aid the secret marriage
of a boy not eighteen and ‘James G.
Braixg, Jr.,. was only that when he
married Miss Marie Nevins, Sept.
4th, 1886. ; Fen

From the Lebanon Report. :
By the way, Germany is a strongly
‘‘protected’’ country, not only a military
but in a commercial sense. The people
ought to be contented. Surely a stand-
ing army and a high tariff ought to
make a country very peaceful and heav-
enly,
Quay’'s Chances.
From the Louisville Courier Journal.
The anti-Quay men of Pennsylvania
are enthusiastic and think that the Boss
cannot be elected, as the best men are
against him. But best men are often
scarce in politics and Mr. Quay’s friends
are confident. All the Republican jury-
men in Pennsylvania stand by him any
how.
‘Will Soon make the Discovery.
From the N. Y. Herald.
About the time that attempts are
made to instruct State delegate for Fres-
ident Harrison the Republicans will
discover that they have trouble enough
at homo to keep them from giving so
much unnecessary attention to the cus-
tomary contentions of the victory-com-
pelling Democrats.
The Price of His Liberty,
From the York Gazette.
Itis reported that Gideon W. Marsh,
the fugitive president of the Philadel-
phia Keystone bank, is living in good
style in Buenos Ayres. Very likely
Marsh could live almost anywhere in
safety, in Buenos Ayres or Philadel-
phia; for the fact remains that he was
permitted {0 escape in order to shield
from publicity the complicity of others
in the Bardsley scandals. Marsh could
doubtless tell more of the inside history
of that atrocious thievery than can any-
body else, not excepting Bardsley him-
self.
But it pays Marsh to be silent.
Expensive for the People But Pleasant
for the Senators.
From the Walla Walla (Wash.) Statesman.
The enormous cost of sustaining Unit-
ed States Senators in luxury seems to be
exceeded only by the expense of bury-
ing them in dignity when dead. Thus
the onlv chance of relief while the
senseless senate is tolerated is, cut off,
The enchanting vision of all this Orien-
tal luxury, that goes in free with a seat
in the Senate,may have something to do
in making those seat: worth so much
money. John Sherman, for instance,
after lounging about in a $60 Turkish
leather chair, toasting his "dignified
corns on a couple of $30 ‘brass fenders,
while knocking the ashes from his Hav-
anna on a $220 Wilton rug, or lolling
on a $120 green leather sofa, gazing
across the room into a $100 mirror that
is delightful if the reflection is not beau-
titul —after thirty years of this sort of
thing at the expense of the people—is it
any wonder that John should object
to being turned out in his old age to dig
in the dirt for a living? It is not
strange that he should spend thousands
to stay where heis. He has a “snap.”
Forone who loves luxury the senate is
millions better than Mansfield. Yet if
the senators would pay less for their
seats and more out of their own pockets
for their luxuries the people would be
better satisfied.

Chicago Times. “Governor Pattison of

Every principle of Pennsylvania poli-
tics, as measured by the Quay and
Wanamaker rules, would have insti
gated Pattison to let the Reading com:
bine alone. The cast iron and copper-
lined stomachs of Pennsylvania repub-
licans will hold any kind of soup that
