Terms 2.00 A Year,in Advance |
Bellefonte, Pa., Dec. 2, 1892.
P. GRAY MEEK, - - - EpiToR
Only Hurrying it Up.
Seems to us there is such a measure
as the MoKiNLEy bill still in force, is
there not ? It was passed, if we re-
member rightly, for the alleged pur-
pose of protecting the wages of labor,
or at least that was the principle rea-
son given why it should be enacted in-
to law. :
The party that was opposed to its
provisions, and believed it was intend-
ed only to benefit special interests won
at the last election, but will have no
opportunity to attempt to correct its
evils, before December 1894. Inno
way, that any practical person can seg,
can a repeal of that bill be effected, or
a substitute for it be enacted before the
spring of 1895. Then a date ahead
will have to be fixed in the measure,
for its provisions to go into operation,
which, in all probability, will delay
any change in the tariff until July 1895,
over a year and a half from this writ-
ing.
Notwithstanding these facts and the
certainty that under any circumstances
they will have ample'tariff protection,
against all competitors, for over eigh-
teen months, as well as the other fact,
that they never raised wages a penny
when protection was increased by the
McKinLEY bill, certain iron industries
are now making as an excuse for cut-
ting down wages, the fact that the tar-
iff is to be changed and assert that as
a consequence they cannot afford to pay
as high/wages as heretofore.
Now, if the rate of wages is fixed by
the amount of protection .each ton of
iron is guaranteed, why were not
wages advanced when the increased
protection, the McKiNLEY bill furni sh-
ed, went into operations. Or, if the
measure of protection regulates wages,
why are not workingmen entitled to
their full share of benefits up to the
time that protection will be changed?
Certainly their is something very
thin, in this attempt of protected ia-
dustries, to throw the excuse for de
creasing wages upon a prospect of a
reduction of the tariff. As the tariff
did not increase wages when it went
into effect, why should it decrease
them, even should it be lowered ?
But as it is not probable, in fact not
possible, that even any change or re-
duction can be made in it -for over a
year, under .any circumstances wages
should have remained at present fig:
ures, until new contracts were taken
under the changed condition a change
of tariff may bring.
As it is, the:action of iron manufac-
turers will only make greater the neces-
sity for a speedier change in our tariff
laws than any one anticipated. With
prices up to a high tariff point on
everything the laboring man must buy,
and wages cut «down because tariff
changes are promised in thejfuture, it
will be the duty of the Democracy to
act on this subject at the very earliest
day possible.
If iron manufacturers are going to
force “free trade wages,” as they call
them, on their workingmen, the soon-
er these same men are furnished an
oppertunity to purchase the necessa-
ries of life at “free trade” figures, the
better,
In beginning te cut wages, because
of the alleged fear of tariff revision,
certain interests may be digging where
they do not imagine, and sowing seed
that they may be called upon to har:
vest sooner than they expect.
Not a Success as a Prophet.
Most any fellow with his eyes shut
could have done as well. Previous to
the election Geen. HasTINGS went up
and down the country predicting, on
the stump and to every interviewer
who he could get to listen to him, that
“Pennsylvania would give 100,000 ma-
jority to HarrisoN. The cold figures
that fixes the official results are now
gathered in and the General’s guess
comes just within 71,718 of being the
correct answer. HARRISON'S majority
in place of 100,000 is but 28,282 and
his plurality but 63,747—a decrease
since 1888 in plurality of over 15,000.
Certainly it dido’t take much of a
knqwledge of the sentiment in Penn-
sylvania to come as near hitting the
mark as “Our Dan’ did. Hereafter,
as a predictor, he will occupy a back
pew until some one who knows tells
him what to say.
Showing What They Are.
We doubt if the editor of any of the
many Republican papers, or any of the
many other Republican voters, who
are now so vehemently demanding the
defeat of the re-election of Senator
Quay, had either honesty or courage
enough to cast their ballots against the
dn
Republican candidates for legislature,
who are to choose his successor and
who they knew at the time would vote
for him, if elected. To set up the
howl now that be should be defeated,
after aiding him in securing aun over-
wheiming majority in both branches
of the legislature, is not hurting Quay
a particle or weakening his chances in
the least. Itis only exhibiting what
consumate asses and idiots some peo-
ple can make of themselves.
He Was In It.
The WarcamaN would be loth to
misrepresent any ooe, much less as
clever and deserving a gentleman as
the editor of the Northwest Dako ta
News, hence it takes pleasure in giving
the following from the pen of Major
BierLy, correcting the statement made
in this paper of a couple of weeks ago,
that the News did not support either
CLEVELAND or the fusion ticket in its
state.
The] News did not believe that Cleveland
could carry anything, after his disastrous de-
feat of 1888. In this it was mistaken, as were,
Watterson, Voorhees, Daniels, Sickles, Flower,
McClellan, Murphy and theusands ‘of other
good democrats. In regardto North Dakota,
while the News did not support Cleveland,
there being no Cleveland electors inthe field,
it was the first and for weeks the only paper
in the state that advecated and defended the
coalition which has been so admirably crown-
ad with success. The News, was the pioneer
among the papers of the tate on this question
having two years ago labored:to the same end,
with a near approach to success. It is practi.
cal in its politics and believes)
like Senator Quay, in the potency of votes in
the ballot box. The success of the coalition
state ticket is by many democrats as well as
independents attributed in a large
measure to the incessant and independent la-
bor of the Daily News and the Northwest News.
Hence the Warcamax has not read the lines
aright and will please set Mr. Bierly right be-
fore its large democratic constituency, whose
good opinion he still cherishes, though far re-
moved from their midst.
Away Back.
Evidently there has been some delay
in the returns of the election reaching
the wide awake people of Washington,
‘or possibly the editor of the Montesano
Economist has been back in the woods
for some weeks, else why should he be
asking for the Democratic party to
“come to the front,” etc. Certainly
any fellow who had read the news
would know that the party was at the
front now, and about as much as it was
possible to be. Our sprightly cotem-
porary, out there, that got out of the
Democratic procession just about the
time it started, don't seem to have
caught up with anything yet or to
realize the way the Democratic people
marched to the front, while it was sit-
ting by the way-side looking for a Pop-
ulists army that never materialized.
It is the down-cast and dis
heartened Republican who now sings
“It may be four years or it may be
forever.” i
—Governor RussgLL, of Massachu-
setts, does everything with his left hand
but strange to say has never been left.
Lawrenceville Strikers Will Stay Out
PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 20—The Oar-
negie city mill strikers held another
meeting at Eintracht ball, Lawrence-
ville, this morning, and claim to be
stronger in their determination to re-
main out than they were the day they
struck. The meeting this morning was
an enthusiastic one, and the men felt
jubilant over a report that the workers
at Homestead were going out on another
strike to-day. This statement was de-
nied by Secretary Kilgallon, of the
Amalgamated association, who said
there was no probability of a rencwal of
the strike at Homestead.
Exports of American Gold.
Loxpon, Nov. 28.—The gold move:
ments in New York engage the atten-
tion of financiers in London, Paris and
Vienna, The impending American
assignments for London are attributed
partly to the continuous large sales of
American railroad securities on Eng:
lish account and partly to the absorp
tion of gold by Austria in connection
with the conversion of currency now
in progress in that country. Since
November 11 the Austro-Hungarian
Bani: has purchased £4,000,000 worth
of gold chiefly in the open market in
London.
The Cabinet Resigns.
Paris, Nov. 28.—The members of
the French cabinet went to the palace
of the Elise at 6 o'clock this evening
and tendered their resignations to Pres-
ident Carpot. In accepting their with-
drawal from office, President Carnot
asked them to continue to conduct the
business of their respective offices un-
til their successors shall have been ap:
pointed.
Baron Hirsh Slightly Hurt.
Paris, Nov. 28.—W hile shooting at
Ayres, Baron de Hirsh, the well-known
Hebrew philanthropist, was slightly
wounded in the hands and forearm by
the explosion of his gun. Figaro says
that his injuries are not at all serious,
and that all traces of the accident will
have disappeared in a few daye.
An Increase of 6 Per Cent in Wages.
AMESBURY, Mass.,, November 80,—
The Hamilton woolen company, con-
trolling sixteen mills here, has increased
the wages of all employes except spin-
ners 6 per cent. The spinners were giv-
en an increase of 10 per cent. recently.
Death at the White House.
Venerable Father-in-Law
The Presi-
President Harrison's
Passes Away Without a Struggle.
dent Much Prostrated. He Has Denied Him-
self to all Visitors.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Rev: Dr.
John W. Scott, the venerable father-in-
law of President Harrison, died short-
ly after four o'clock this afternoon. The
end that had been awaited with so
much dread and anxiety all the fore-
noon came this afternoon. The aged
invalid passed away without a struggle
as quietly and as peacefully as a child
falls asleep. He had been unconscious
for hours, and was unable to recognize
his weeping friends at his bedside.
Stimulants were administered hypoder-
mically, but only served to defer the
inevitable. The president and family
are very much prostrated at their be-
reaveiment.
The White House was closed to visi-
tors to-day and the usual semi weekly
cabinet meeting was omitted.
Rev. John Witherspoon Scott, D.
D., was born in Beaver county, Penn-
sylvania, January 22, 1800, and was
therefore in the ninty-third year of his
age. He was a son of George McEl-
roy Scott, a native of Bucks county,
who afterward went to Beaver county
totake charge of a Presbyterian church.
Dr. Scott graduated from a college
at Washington, Pennsylvania, and
subsequently took a post graduate
courseat Yale. Afterward he accept-
ed a professorship in the college from
which he graduated, which position he
held for two years He accepted a pro-
fessorship at Miami university, Miami,
Obio, in 1826. While there three
children were born to him : Elizabeth,
afterward Mrs. Lord; Caroline, after-
ward Mrs. Harrison, and John Neal
Scott.
A number of years later Dr. Scott
founded the Oxford, Ohio, female col-
lege, and in 1850 became its president.
The funeral services were held on
Thursday afternoon. To-day which
the remains will be taken to Washing-
ton, Penna., for interment thera.
Pension Figures.
There Are Now 876,068 Persons Drawing Pay
From the Government.
W asHINGTON, November 30. 1892.—
The annual report of Green B. Raum,
commissioner of pensions, made public
to-day, shows that there were on the
pension rolls June 30, 1892, 876,068
pensioners, an increase during the year
ot 199,908.
There were added to the rolls durin
the year 222,937 new pensioners, an
2,477 pensioners previously dropped
were restored to the pension lists,
During the year 25, 306 persons were
dropped from the rolls.
The total amount expended for pen-
gions during the fiscal year was $139-,
035,612. For the present fiscal year
$144,956,000 is appropriated, and tak-
ing the cost of the pension allowances
during the first four months of this fis-
cal year as a basis of calculation, the
commissioner estimates that a defi
ciency appropriation of $10,508,621 will
be necessary to supplement this year
appriation.
Honors About Even.
California's Electoral Vote May be Divided
Between Cleveland and Harrison. :
SAN Fraxcisco, Nov. 29.—The offi-
cial vote of all counties in California,
with the exception of San Franciscd,
give Harrison a plurality of 6,422. The
returns from all but nine precincts in
San Francisco give Cleveland a plur-
ality in this city and county of 6,112.
A number of irregularities in the returns
from the remaining precincts in this
city may delay the canvass for a few
days.
The figures given from outside coun-
ties is based upon the average vote giv-
en for Republican and Democrat elec-
tors. The Hsing is so narrow, and
in view of the fact that the vote for el-
ectors varies, it is possible that when
the official vote has been completed up-
on individual vote the electoral vote
will be divided between Harrison and
Cleveland.
Went Crazy Over the Comet.
Niagara Farrs, Nov. 30.—The
comel scare struck this end of the state
in earnest. A farmer named Andrews,
known for his closeness in money mat-
ters, drew all his money from the bank
and spent as much of it as he could. He
distributed the rest among his sons and
daughters, with the admonition to “blow
itin,” for the comet would wipe them
out of existence before Monday morn-
ing. Monday it was feared he would
go crazy over the failure of the celestial
wanderer to materialize. A farmer's
wife in Porter went crazy over the
comet,
Willing to be Americans.

ToroNTO, Nov. 28.—South Norwalk,
an important constituency in Ontario,
has declared in favor of the political
union of Canada with the United States

concerned. The South Norwalk Re-
form Association at its annual meeting
decided by vote that the Reform party
in opposition at Ottawa should include
a plank favoring the political union of
Canada with the States as part of its
policy.
Brisson Summoned to Form a Ministry
Paris, Nov. 29.—To-day President
Carnot summoned M, Brisson and ask-
ed him to form a ministry, retaining in

cinet. Mr. Brisson promised to com-
municate his decision to President Car-
not to-morrow, after conferring with his
friends.

A Reception to Harrity.
The Academy of Music Crowded With Peopie to
Tender Their Congratulations.
| PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-- William
| F. Harrity was the recipient this even-
ing of a reception tendered him by his
fellow citizens of Philadelphia. The
| acadmey of music was engaged for the
| occasion and was crowded with people.
| At the extreme rear of the building
| rows of blazing gas jets spelled the name
| of the organization that tendered Mr.
| Harrity the reception, “Young Men’s
| Democratic Association of Philadel-
| phia,” and under this emblem the guest |’
of the evening, surrounded by a recep-
tion committee of about one hundred
Democrats, greeted those who pressed
forward to shake his hand.
Governor Pattison accompanied by
| members of the staff appeared in the
| line and passed before Mr. Harrity. A
prominent Democrat who attracted
| much attention when he passed in the
line to pay his respects was Senator
| Gorman, of Maryland. In the course
| of the evening Mr. Harrity shook the
hands of many Republicans who offered
their congratulations. Telegrams and
letters were received from many Demo-
crats of national prominence. At The
close of the reception Mr. Harrity, join-
ed Mrs. Harrity, who was seated in a
private box.
In a few days Mr. Harrity will, with
his family, seek some quiet resort, prob-
ably in the South, and spend ten days or
more in the open air in an endeavor to
restore his physical system to the con-
dition of robustness he enjoyed before he
entered upon the work of the recent
campaign.
Ohio Meant to do Right.
From the Clearfield Republican (Dem.)
The vote of Ohio shows that the first
Democratic elector on the ticket had
404,115 votes, while the first Republi-
can elector had but 402,399. The ma-
jority of the voters thought they were
voting the straight Democratic ticket
by marking opposite the first elector,
while they were only voting for him and
not the entire ticket. The Buckeyes
meant well enough, but they were poor
markers, and their little oversight lost
Cleveland the State by a small margin
when the majority fully intended that
he should have it. However we’ll wor-
ry along without Ohio until '96, when
she will come in all right.
Kansas Legislature a Tle.
A United States Senatorship to be Decided by
Lot.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 29.—The con-
trol of the next State Assembly depends
on a drawing by lot. That body now
stands 62 Republicans, 58 People’s Par-
ty, 3 Democrats and 1 Independent.
The remaining Representative is to be
seated by lot, the vote in Coffey County
being a tie. If the Republicans are
successful in the drawing for the seat
they will have just enough to organize
the House. It they lose, the opposi-
tion will have a majority, and control
both branches of the Legislature, and
and will elect a United States Senator.
Stringing up of Iams.
Lieutenant Colonel Streator and Other Defen,

PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 28.—Lieuten-
ant Colonel Streator, of the Tenth Regi-
ment, appeared in the Crimminal Court
to-day for eentence in the case of ag-
ravated assault and battery on Private
. L. Iams. He was acquitted of the
charge, but he and the other defendants
bad to pay costs. Judge Porter, who
tried the case, was not present, and the
sentence was put off until a latter date.
Ross and McLuckie Surrender.
PirtsBurGg, Nov. 28.—Hugh Ross
and ex-Burgess John MecLuckie, the
Homestead strike leaders, who have
been missing since the charges of mur-
der and treason were preferred against
them, returned to the city to-day and
surrendered to the sheriff. They will
make application for bail, and pending
a decision, will be compelled to remain
in jail.
Furnaces to Resume.
READING, Pa., November 80.—The

when the season opened it proved itself
the strongest ever lined up to defend
the blue and white goal. The team has
defended its claim to second place in the
State and there are some who even go
so far as to claim that it could bave pro-
bably defeated the U. of P. when it dis-
banded.

LO0OK-0UT FOR THE SHARPERS.—An
Exchange sounds the following warn-
ing which we publish for the benefit of
our subscribers :
A gang ofsharpers consisting of two
women and a boy are working the town
in the following manner. They enter a
house and and tell a pitiful story about
having recently come from Scotland
and having been unlucky and-in need |
of money. They produce ‘a set of silver
plated knives, forks and spoons which
they say they brought from Scotland
and are very superior goods, .They say
the articles cost £2} in Scotland but
they will sell them for $5. They
hoodooed Tommy Deakin into buying a
set and he found afterward that the
goods were the veriest trash, not worth
half the price paid and that thesame
people had sold several similar sets to
other persons. The lesson to be learned
is this: Buy your goods from reputa-
ble home dealers, and you will get your
money’s worth. Your eyes are your
market when you buy from a peddler.”
U. C. CoNFERENCE.—The Pennsyl-
vania Conference, United Christian
church, convened in annual session at
‘Whiteland church, Maze, Juniata Co.,
Pa., Nov. 10, 1892 and organized by
electing Rev. J. A. Benson chairman
and Rev. P. A, Baker secretary. After
roll call and noting of absences the min-
utes of the previous session were read
and adopted. After disposing of an
amount of preliminary and minor busi-
ness, Rev. C. W. Maze, of the church
of God, and H. G. Milligan, were
granted license as ministers of the gos-
pel of the U. C. church. A number of
committee reports were received and
acknowledged upon and new committees
appointed. Revs. S. G. Diessler and
H. M. Eberly severed their connection
with conference, and their licenses, as
ministers of the gospel were revoked.
Rev, J. G. Anderson was chosen to
preach the opening sermon at next con-
ference. Rev’s P. A. Baker, J. A.
Benson, and W. H. Vincent were elect-
ed to examine applicants for license at
next session. Rev. J. A. Benson and
C. M. Singer, J. B. Meredith and Geo.
Hubert were elected a committee to ex-
amine the ministers of all the sessions
since the organization of the U. C.
church, to report at next conference.
Rev. P. A. Baker was excused from
labor during the coming year upon ac-
count of ill-health. The following
charges were assigned: J. A. Ben-
son; H. S. Milligan, Fallen Timber;
C. W. Maze, Brushridge; J. H. Ben-
son, Lewistown ; W, H. Vincent, Lilly-
ville; A. Rebuck, Juniata; J. G.
Anderson, Blacklog; Tyrone was
elected as the place to hold the next
session of conference. Everything pass-
off pleasantly and in a spirit of true
Christianity. ~~ County papers please

Waar Dogs It ALL Mean. —Last
week the Pennsylvania Railroad €om-
pany’s engineers finished the survey of
a track from the end of this company’s
Y, near the glass works at this place, to
the Collin’s furnace. Some weeks since
the same engineers located a route from
the red-bank over tc Scotia. The com-
bined length of tracks that will be re-
quired to make these two connections, is
less than two miles and when comple-
ted will connect both the Bellefonte
Furnace company’s furnaces and its
principal bank with the lines ot the
Pennsylvania railroad.
What this means can only be conject-
ured from surface indications. We un-
derstand that the cause of the long clos-
ing down of the Bellefonte Furnace has
been due more to some difficulty that
exists between that company and the
Bellefonte; Central railroad about rates
of transportation of ore, and the transfer
of cars, than to the condition of the iron
market. Last summer it was whispered
that an effort was being made by the
Furnace company, to get such rate of
freights from the Pennsylvania as would
enable it to bring its ore from Red Bank
round by Tyrone. The fact that the
railroad company has gone to the ex-
pense of making a survey of these two
connections looks as if an agreement
had been reached, and as if the Furnace
company would be enabled to go on in
spite of the differences that exist between
it and the Bellefonte Central.
While the people of Bellefonte hope
that something has been accomplished
that will start this big industry, they at.
the same time will be sorry that amica-
ble arrangements were not possible be-
tween the Furnace company and the
Bellefonte Central. The very existence
of the latter depends to a great extent
on the patronage of the furnace and
without the Furnace company’s freight.
it will be impossible to operate the Cen-
tral on a paying basis.
What Bellefonte will most have to
fear from this ostensible arrangement is
the final absorbtion of the Bellefonte
Central by the Pennsylvania. After
weakening it by taking from itits princi-
ciple source of revenue, it would finally
secure it at a more nominal figure, and
thus give it control of a line, which i
was hoped .would prove a good feeder to
any competing line that might be built
to this place. This would be no little
discouragement to the new line of road
that is contemplated to connect with
the Reading system, and might in the
end cause its abandonment.

Death of John Poorman,
The funeral of John Poorman, of Boggs town-
ship, took place on Thursday, Nov. 24th from
his late residence to Messiah's Church Ceme-
tery, three miles north of Milesburg; Rev. J
Zeigler officiating. Mr. Poorman was one of
twelve children of the family of the late John
and Elizabeth Poorman, of Nittany Valley, and
but one of them survives hisdeath ; D. C. Poor-
man, of Holt's Hollow in said township. His
wife Catherine died some years ago, and
since then he remained on his farm which
one or the other of his sons worked for him.
He was an honest and upright man, and a good
neighbor; was the father of nine children.
four sons and five daughters, who with 36
grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren
mourn their loss. He died from cancer on his
