Terms 2.00 A Year,in Advance
Bellefonte, Pa., March II, 1892.
P. GRAY MEEK,
EpiTor
Unfair to Bellefonte and Its Facilities.
If the editor of the Gazette knew one
tithe of what he, in his egotism imag-
ines he does, he would have spared his
readers the columns of bosh he has iu-
flicted upon them duringjthe past week,
on the subject of railroad transfers,
competition, freight charges, etc.
It is not the purpose or province of
the WarcaMAN to excuse or defend the
Pennsylvania rail-road, but when a
newspaper, proiessing to the friendly
to the interests of the town, either
through ignorance or for a purpose, at-
tempts to deceive the public through
statements that would frighten away
every business enterprise that might
propose locating here, with stories of
freight extortion, that hamper indue-
tries, cripple manufactories and eat up
the profits of all our works, it is noth-
ing more than a duty we owe to truth
and to the fature prospects or cur town
to brand them as incorrect, unwarrant-
ed and ‘without foundation.
Bellefonte has had for years and now
has, as good farilities for shipping, and
as low rates of freight as any town,
similarly situated in any portion of
the state. Its shippers of grain, iron
and other articles, pay no more per 100
weight or car load, to or from the same
points, than do those of Lock Haven,
Beech Creek, Snow Shoe or Philips-
burg, all of which are blessed with
competing lines of road. Its merchants
receive their goods as promptly and at as
low rates, as do those of other towns
equally distant, whether they enjoy
the benefits of one or a half dozen dif-
ferent rail-roads, and as for the oppor.
tunities furnished for either shipments
orjtravel, there is nosane man in Belle-
fonte, be he shipper or looker on, bat
will admit, that we are provided with
every convenience that can be used and
with a promptoess that cannot be com-
plained of.
We say this not in the interest of the
Pennsylvania rail-road, whose three
separate lines from the east and its sin-
gle line from the west, reaches this
place, but that the facilities and oppor-
tunities of the town may not be under-
rated or belied, by such charges and
mistatements as the Gazette has been
making, in its demand for a competing
line of road to be erected.
The failures the Gazelte alludes to,
and the stoppages of industries it names
as being the results of excessive freight
charges, are chargable to other and en-
tirely different causes.
The Glass Works, which is one ot
the failures it cites, was an enterprise
started without capital and run on cred-
it, depending on the the banks for
loans to meet its current expenditures.
The heavy discounts charged and the
amount of its out-put kept tied up as
collateral for its loans, in connection
with the general depressed condition of
all kinds of manufacturing industries
under the Republican tariff system, ac-
counts for its failure.
The Nail Works went under in con-
sequence of losses sustained in experi-
menting with expensive machinery to
make nails out of old steel rails, and
the extremely low price that cut nails
brought after the wire nail was placed
upon the market.
The Bellefonte Furnace company
closed down, because of the general
slump in the iron business that came
with darrisoN and the McKINLEY bill,
and in consequence of differences be-
tween it and the Buftalo Run rail-road,
that carried its ore from the mines to
the furnace.
Freight charges, or want of facilities
for shipments, had nothing whatever
to do with these failures or stoppages,
and is no more to be charged for
these results than they are to be credit-
ed for the success of our other indus
tries that are still in full blast, and do-
ing the best they can to battle through
the tight times this republican adminis. |
tration has given the country.
Parading the depressed condition of
our manufactories and enterprises, or
abusing and vilifying the only out-lets
we have, is not the way to build up the
town and induce competing companies
to invest money that we may profit
by it.
To secure competition, we must show
that we have the trafic and are willing
to pay fair prices for the services ren-
dered, before any one will take the
risk of an investment, such as is neces
sary to build an other line of road to
this place. Ourown people must come
to the front in this matter and prove
that they have confidence in the en-
terprise by aiding it, to the extent of
their financial ability. Our manutac-
turers and merchants must give some
assurance that a fair show of their
shipments will be furnished the new
line. Until this is done nothing can
be expected or hoped for in this matter.
Minneapolis convention.
A Wrong Reason.
In the Warcamax of last week re-
ference was made to the fact that the
chairman of the Clearfield Democratic
County Committee, had called a meet-
ing of that body to apportion the coun-
ty into districts preparatory to electing
congressional conferees, under the new
plan, suggested by the counties of Clear-
fieldand Centre at their last county
conventions. Iu speaking of the same
subject, our neighbor, of the Democrat,
makes an unfortunate statement,which
if accepted as a threat, will result only
in creating resentiments, and prevent,
acquiescence, by the smaller counties of
the district, in an equitable system of
representation in our Congressional and
Senatorial conferences.
It is the fear that Clearfield and Cen-
tre. having a majority of the delegates
to a congressional conference under the
system proposed, will ignore the rights
and claims of the three smaller counties,
that prevents then agreeing to the
adoption ot the new plan. This fear
is only strengthened and confirmed by
such threats as our up town cotempo-
rary makes, when it asserts that “be-
cause Centre and Clearfield alone can
elect a Democratic congressman, they
will insist upon the enforcement” of
this new principle of representation.
Even if the Democrat was correct in
its statement that ‘Clearfield and Cen-
tre alone can elect” a Democratic coa-
gressman—an allegation that is just
2081 votes from the truth—it would be
no reason of itself, why they would or
should insist upon the enforcement of
the plan they propose.
It is because the basis they suggest
is equitable aud just; because the
proposition they put forth is right and
fair; because some such plan would
stop the dead-locks and defeats we have
been experiencing, is the reason they
will ask its adoption, and, failing in
this, will do the best they can to secure
the most equitable representation pos-
sible, and such harmony in the Demo-
cratic nominating conference, as will
insure the earnest and united support
of every Democrat in the district for
its nominee, let him come from what
county he may.
Elk, Forest and Clarion need have
no fear that Centre and Clearfield are
coming to the next conference with
blood in their boots and a battle axe
upon their shoulders. © The Democrats
of these counties are as tired of, and
disgusted with, the dissensions that
have disgraced and the defeats that
have dishonored the party, in the dis-
trict, as those of the smaller counties
can be.
They will attempt no bossing ; they
will countenance no bull-dozing ; they
will resort to no brow-beating, but will
ask in the best of faith and for the sake
of political fairness. what is right in
representation, and have confidence
enough in their Democratic brethern
of the counties with which they are
connected, to believe they will get it.
—— Let us see. The election is held
in November. That is about eight
mouths from this date, which will ac-
count for the extra rdinary activity
thac enables the Harrisburg Patriot to
announce in black head lines that the
“Philadelphia Democrats are ar onsed,
and will hold a convention in which
over eight hundred divisions will be
represented.” If it was three weeks be-
fore the election and getting aroused
would add a few votes to the Demo-
cratic returns, Gabriel's trump would
not waken them into activity, But as
there is no prospects of their cavortin’
round now injuring the Republicans,
to whom they generally sell out, they
are trying their old game of blow and
bluster just as if it would convince any
one of the sincerity of their efforts or
the honesty of their purposes.
For political frauds Philadelphia
can discount any corner of the crea-
tion,
Where the Anti-Quay People Will Win.
The Republicans, at their primaries,
in York, on Monday last, thought they
were giving Mr. Quay a black eye by
selecting an anti-Quay delegate to the
As it 18 not
delegates that Mr. Quay is after now,
as much as it is members of the next
legis'ature, he can well afford-to_allow
the scarce and scattered Republicans
of York, who have neither voice nor
vote in the selection of a United States
Senator, to do about as they please.
We expect to hear of a great many
anti-Quay victories throughout the
state this summer but they will, in
nine cases out of ten, be in counties |
like York, that won't effect the result
in Quay’s case in the least, or show
that the Republican party, where it
has the power, is a particle more par-
ticular who it elects as Senator than
it has formerly been.
When that party can’t accomplish
anything, it is awfully earnest in its
efforts at reform. When it has the
power to do, reformation is a word
that’s unknown.

ANG
Should be Returned Without any Op-
2 position.
Capt. Geo. W. SKINNER, of Fulto)
county, who represented Frauklin coun
ty in the Legislature for two terms
more than a score of years ago, and
who was the representative trom Fal
ton at the last and at the preceding
session, has again been brought for
ward as a candidate by his friends.
He is encountering some litile opposi-
tion from aspiring candidates, on ac-
count of the two term policy which
seems to have obtained in the politics
of the county. No such miserable
rule should be allowed to stand in the
way of the return to the legislature of
men like{Captain SKINNER, when they
can be induced to become candidates.
Captain SKINNER was unanimously
chosen as} the candidate of his party
for Speaker of the House, at the last
“ession and no man wielded more in-
fluence than he 1n all the deliberations
of that body during the two last ses
sions. He was industrious, alert and
eloquent in debate, especially when the
interests of his own people were ef-
fected. To his untiring efforts in the
House, more than to any other mem-
ber, of that body are the tax-payers of
the state indebted for the relief from
the burdens of local taxation which the
increase of the school appropriation,
from one and one-half millions, to five
millions, has given.
If the Democrats of Fulton county
are wise they will not long hesitate
about sending a man like Captain
SKINNER back to the House, where he
is sure to occupy the position of a
leader instead of a mere party follower.
His retirement at this time would be
in the nature of a loss not only to
themselves, but to the people of the
entire state.
When other counties are considering
the propriety of sending to the House
of Representativessuch men as ex-Sena-
tor WarLLace, Joun Cesna, JEROME B.
NiLes, ex-Senator Rutan, and men of
like standing and experience, it would
be a matter for which Falton Demo-
crats would have reason to blush, to
send a new and inexperienced represen-
tative, when a man of Capt. SKINNER’S
popularity, prestige and experience, |
was willing to serve them. Falton
needs him at Harrisburg, so does the

Don’t Want to be Misunderstood.
Some one having started the report

Eprror Republican—Y our friend, who
communicated the information taat
the Clearfield delegation to the State
Convention would be solid for Hill, is
slightly mistaken. While I can oualy
answer for myself, [ will freely state
[ am for Cleveland——why any Demo-
crat should hesitate in his choice 1s a
mystery to me. Cleveland gave us
four years of the best of government;
left the Treasury overflowing, and the
very best of feeling existing among the
people of the different sections ot the
country. My secoud choice would be
Governor Pattison, who is a close fol
lower of Cleveland, and who I think
would make a strong candidate. Since
Dana has become the mouth-piece of
the New York Democracy, [ must coa-
fess I feel a little shy of that crowd.

The Philadelphia Times was
seventeen years old last Saturday, and
celebrated the anniversary of its birth
by issuing a 192 column “sheet.”
From the degree ot perfection and
eminence, in the journalistic world,
which the Zimes has acquired we
might readily think that it is backed
by a century's experience. It stands
to day without a peer, in typography
and as a synonym for all that is
bright and attractive in a representa.

Sugar Duties Reimposed.
WasniNgToN, March 15.—President
Harrison issued to-day a proclamation
retaliating upon Columbia, Hayti, and
Venezuela for not concluding recipro-
city treaties by reimposing the duties on
wall sugar, hides coffee and other articles
exewpted by section 8 of the McKinley
act which may be imported from those
countries after to-day.
Itis understood that a commercial
arrangement has been agreed upon with
Honduras and will be announced within

have begun negotiations which give pro-
mise of early and satisfactory adjust-
ment.

The Pennsylvania as a Disburser.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The speech of President Roberts at the
annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
Raiiroad was interesting in giving a
novel and striking idea of the impor-
tance to the business interests of the
community of a great corporation. The
public, except that portion of it employ-
ed by the railroads, is apt to regard
them as a tremendous concern which
simply moves freight and carries passen-
gers and as a great, absorber of money.
They do not know, or they forget, that
the railroad company pays back to the
commuuity in cash promptly the larger
portions of its earnings in wages, and
that it is, besid-s, a large purchaser of
manufactures «+d a patron of every de-
partment of trade. A purchasing agent
1n this city recently bought for his com-
pany some sewing needles and an &n-
chor on thé same day. It would be
difficult to mention any article of com-
! merce in which a railroad company in
its capacity as a consumer does not deal.
In his speech, Mr. Roberts pointed
out the extent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad’s operations as a purchasing
and consuming portion of the commun-
ity. He showed that during the last
decade that corporation had absorbed
the productions of Philadelphia alone
to the extent of $15,800,000, or at the
rate of $1,500,000 per year. The man
or corporation which adds $5000 per day
10 the business of his city, and does it for
ten years, ought to be cultivated. This
sum, it is understood, includes only the
money spent in actual improvements--
in terminal, wharves, warehouse, shops
in the city, &e., which indirectly tend to
make further increases in commerce and
trade in many directions.
The total expenditures of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad are, of course, much
larger, and, after showing what the
road has done for the city, President
Roberts took up these figures. In the
single year of 1891 the Pennsylvania
Railroad expended in this Common-
wealth the enormous sum of $52,000,000
or at the rate of $1,000,000 per week.
There are not three railroads in the
United States whose gross earnings are
equal to this sum, a fact which,after all,
gives but a small idea of the immensity
of the Pennsyivania’s disbursing ecapac-
ity, as we believe forty other millions
were spent on portions of the line out-
side the State. The figures do not need
elaboration. They demonstrate at once
how much and how important a part of
the community the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is, and point out its intimate rela-
tions to all matters pertaining to busi-
ness in a most striking way.
The ultimate effects ot these large,
constant, and timely expenditures can-
not be contemporaneously known or
pointed out. We of this generation
can only see that they have added large-
ly to the convenience of the putlie,
that they have made the city more ac-
cessible to freight shippers, that they
bave increased our coastwise and for-
eign trade, that they have added to our
manufactures, and in a hundred ways
built up and promoted the stability of
the city and commonwealth, President
Roberts and his able lieutenants are to
be congratulated on having done so
much toward the development of com-
merce and the promotion of all that
tends to a broader and more beneficent
civilization.

Democracy Will be King.
The Meaning of the Democratic Policy Upon the
Tariff Question.
WasHINGTON, March 16.—Mr. Bryan
of Nebraska, speaking in the house to-
day on the binding twine and cotton ties
bill said : “The country has nothing to
fear from the Democratic policy upon
the tariff question. It means a more
equal distribution of the great advan-
tages of this country. It means that
the men who produce the wealth shall
retain a large share of it. It means that
enterprise shall be employed in natural
and profitable industries, not in unnat-
ural and unstable industries. It means
prosperity everywhere and not by piece-
meal, Itis for this reason that the
young men of this country are coming to
the Democratic party, as Mr. Clarkson,
that high Republican authority declar-
ed. It is because we are right and right
will triumph.
“The day will come and that soon, I
trust, when wiser economical politics
will prevail than those to which the Re-
publican party is wedded, when the
laws in this country will be made for all
and not for a few, when those who an-
nually congregate about this capitol
seeking to use the taxing power for pur-
poses of private good will have lost their
prestige, and the blessings likewise.
Hail that day. When 1t comes, to use
the language of another, ‘‘Democracy
will be king, long live the king !”’
Mr. Bryan closed his speech with a
brilliant psroration, and as he took his
seat he was the recipient of the warmest
and heartiest congratulations of his party
colleagues. Although this was his
maiden speech, he showed every quality
of a fluent orator. No member who has
addressed the house thus far upon the
tarift question has received the same at-
tention that was accorded to the young
Nebraskan.
Tried By the American Consul.
DuBuqQue, March 16.—After inter
viewing Secretaries Blaine and Tracy,
Congressman Henderson telegraphed
Monday night: “Nothwithstanding
the recent treaty with Japan, Lieuten-
ant Hetherington will be tried by the
American consul at Yokohama ; appeal
will be successively made to the Amer-
ican minister and the United states cir-
cuit court of California.”
Ex-Mayor Hetherington says he
heartily approves his son’s course in
shooting the English seducer and is con-
fident of his acquittal.
Would Save them Hurrahing for the
Wrong Fellow,
It is now reported that in a recent
swap made between President Harrison
and Senator Quay the former is to get
the Pennsylvania delegation at the
Minneapolis convention. The princi-
pals to the trade should announce it
definitely as the way the matter has
been standing recently. The postmas-
ters throughout the state don’t know
who to shout for and are consequently
singing dumb.

Trusts and Monopolies.
! Fostured by Protection, Without Which They:
Could Not ~Exist— Catechism for Congress-
men.
| What is a Trust? In the popular
| amd political sense it ineans a combina-
| tivn of the domestic producers of cer-
| tain commodities to control production
{ and advance prices. No trust of this
| kind, operating on articles for which
| there is a possible competitive supply
{ from other countries, could be maintain-
ed in the United States for a single
| month except under one or two condi-
| tions—either all the competitive pro-
i ducers throughout the world must be
brought in the “trust,” or, what is the
same thing, the product of the world
must be controlled, or the product of all
foreign producers must be shut out from
the markets of this country. The first
result is not attainable. It would be
obviously impracticable to induce all
the manufactures of starch, for exam-
ple, in all the different countries of Eu-
rope, to unite and put the control of
their business in hands of trustees resid-
ing in the United States, The second
is made not only possible, but effective
in the highest degree by the imposition
of tariffs or duties on the importations
of the articles in which the trusts are
especially interested so high as to com-
pletely bar them out of the market.
These duties the McKinly tariff act pro-
vides. Tt thus becomes the creation and
fare of trusts and monopolies, the
ike of which cannot and do not exist
under the tariff system of Great Briton,
as the Starch Trust, Plate and Window
Glass Trust, Nail Trust, Linseed Oil
Trust, Lead Trust, Cotton Bagging
Trust, Borax Trust, Axe, Saw and
Scythe Trust, Cracker, Cake ard Bis-
cuit Trust, Rubber, Boot and Shee
Trust, and many others; all of which,
freed from foreign competition, are ad-
vancing prices to American consumers
to an extent that will afford them from
50 to 100 per cent. more profit than can
be fairly considered as legitimate, but in
which profits their employes do not par-
ticipate. There are more than 100
trusts in the United States that could
have no existence but for the high
duties that have been enacted to keep on
in order to maintain and protect theme
How did your Representative in th
last (Fifty-first) Congress vote ?
Did he vote for the Salt Trust, pro-
tected and alone made capable of exis-
tence by a duty of from 44 to 85 per
cent ?
Did he vote for the Window Glass
Trust, with a protection of from 120 to
135 per cent ?
Did he vote for the Linseed Oil Trust,
with a protection of over 90 per cent?
Did he vote for the White Lead Trust
with a protection of 75 per cent ?
Did he vote for the Starch Trust, with
a protection of over 90 per cent?
Did he vote for the Steel Trust, with
a protection running from 40 to 115 per
cent?
And so of all the other trusts protec-
ted by the tanff and especially by the
McKinley bill. Look them up; and if
you find that your Representative voted
for such an imposition of taxes as alone
permitsethem to exist, make him ex-
plain why he did so.—David A. Wells.
It is Tiresome, Very.
The Hon. Thomas Brackett Reed,
of Maine, sinks ungracefully into ob-
security.
During the first-session of the Fifty-
first Congress Mr. Reed attained the
pinnacle of a certain kind of ambition
which is satisfied if its possessor can
only attract attention, even if he does
not command respect.
In the second session of that Con.
gress Mr. Reed was stunned and his
faculties apparently paralyzed by the
crushing defeat his antics had helped
to bring upon his party. His feelings
were lacerated. His sell love was se-
verely hurt, His desire for notoriety
had temporarily become latent. Worst
of all, the season was Winter, and his
yellow shoes and his sky biue sur
cingle were no longer available for
spectacular uses.
Bat the ruling passion is strong in
death, and though Mr. Reed lies buried
on the floor ot ‘the House, beneath an
adverse majority of four to one, he still
yearns for notoriety. Every once in
awhile he bobs up, and with coarse in-
solence calls the attention of the House
to the obsolete Reed and the obsolete
Reed rules.
He is probably aware that the Reed
rules are of no more account in Wash-
ington now than a last year’s bird's
nest is to a pothunter. But he does
not wish the country to forget that
those rules were for a time the law of
the House, and that the man who
wielded them in such outrageous tash-
ion is still on earth,
The attention which the House pays
to these pranks of Reed seems to be of
the most languid and transient kind.
Instead of attaining eminence as a
hero of disturbance he simply exhibits
himself as a bore and a nuisance.
There is no great harm in this, but it
is at times exceedingly tiresome.
Pray, Mr. Reed, give us a rest.—Eux.
Half Rates to Clergymen on the Penn-
sylvania Railroad.
In offering half rates to clergymen the
Pennsylvania - Railroad Company has
instituted the most comprehensive and
liberal arrangement ever adopted under
like circumstances. Not only is the re-
duction available by ministers of the
gospel who reside upon the lines of Penn-
sylvania Railroad, but it applies equally
to those of any section of the United
States accepted on the entire Pennsylva-
nia Railroad system both east and west
of Pittsburg. A clergyman having a
charge in any portion of the West or
South is entitled to travel at half fare
over the Pennsylvania on presentation
! of his clerical order to any ticket agent
‘of the company, and likewise any cler-
gyman of the East may use the lines of
the company over their entire extent
under the same conditions.
Ministers of the gospel were never be-
for accorded such concessions, and it is
easy to predict that they will show their
appreciation of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road’s liberality by patronizing it when
they or their families have occasion to
travel.

Boss painter, R. B. Fry, of the Meyer Car.
riage establishment, returned from a recent
visit to the Mountain city, where he donned a
Prince Albert and a late style ‘Katy.”
His honor Judge Krebs, accompanied by his:
wite, spent the latter part of last week with his
aged moter, at the home of his boy-hood, at=
tending his brother John F’s funeral.
Our young friend J. B Heberling last week
appeared before the Egyptian Embalming As-
sociation, in session at Sunbury, where with a
class of twenty-two he came out first best.
But two others passed the examination sne-
cessfully.
Little Mary Bailey, daughter of J. G. Bailey,
received a serious gash on the forehead with-e
an axe, in the hands of her brother, who was
not aware ot her standing behind him. The
wound was inflicted in the upward movement,
otherwise it might have proven fatal.
The announcement of the sudden death of
one of our honored citizens, John F. Krebs,
startled our community, on the morning of the
10 inst, he having died at midnight. Al-
though his death was not unexpected, it was
thought that his life would be proionged for
days perhaps weeks as he apparently was not
in a dangerons condition. Having had occa -
sion to get out of bed, which he did without
assistance, and in that effort the brittle life
thread was broken and his lifeless form fell
into the arms of his loving and devoted wife.
For some months he had been unwell, but
able to be about, and was confined to bed but
three days during all hisillness. Not a mur-
mur was heard to pass from his lips as he was
fully resigned to the Master's will .
John Frederick Krebs was the oldest son of
Henry Krebs, born July 21st, 1833, on the old
Krebs homestead, where he has lived all his
life. The writer had the pleasure of his life
long acquaintance and friendship and is
prompted by a profound regard to offer this
brief tribute, for one in whom he found so
many excellent qualities and his judgment
was not to be disputed, although of a modest
retiring disposition and manner and his d eath
is the subject of sincere regre t.
In faith he was a Presbyterian, and politi-
cally a Democrat, and at one time he was with-
in a few votes of receiving the nomination for
thegLegislature, in which Hon. W, K. Alexan-
der was his successful competitor.
His years of health and activity, granted
him, were spent in honest toil and vigilant la-
bor by which he became the owner of the old
homestead which he succeeded in keeping in
the very best of condition. The beautiful
home with the surroundings indicate the
taste and good judgment.
Nov. 17th. 1857, he married Miss Anna Mus.
ser. This union was blessed with ten chil-
dren, three daughters and seven sons, of
whom Henry M., John B., Newt T., and Mrs.
W. H. Roush and Miss Inez, who with an aged
mother, a loving wife and three brothers, Levi,
William and Judge Krebs, of Clearfield, sur-
vive him. His remains were buried in the
Pine Grove cemetery on the 12th inst. The
pall bearers were W. H. snd J. G. Bailey, G.
W. McWilliams, D, G. Meek, C. H. Stiuble and
W. H. Fry. Rev. Geo. Elliott had charge of
religious services assisted by Rev. C. T.
