Nothing to Fight About,
Editorial from “The Philadelphia Record,”
Thursday, February 6, 1894.
The effort to bring the Democrats of
Pennsylvania together has disclosed
the fact that they are together. They
have no differences of opinion upon
any question of policy, State or Naton-
al, upon which Democrats differ with
their Republican opponents. So much
for the pariy at large. :
The wrangle that distracts the party
in Philadelphia cannot be magiitied
into a State affair. To state the cause
ofit is to show the insignificance and
folly of keeping it alive. When it be
came the duty of Governor Pattison,
after his election, to select the Secretary
of the Commonwealth and the Attor-
ney General he chose Mr. William PF.
Harrity for the former office and Mz.
William U. Hensel for the latter. Both
of these gentleman had rendered the
party distinguished service. No man
doubts their competency or deserving.
But, for reasons entirely personal to
themselves, the selection did not please
Mr. George McGowan and certain as-
gociates who can be counted upon the
fingers of ove hand. These few dis-
gruntled Democrats, in order to feed
fat their private grudges, have attempt
ed to organize what they call the
“Pennsylvania Democracy.” They
are the “Peonsylvania Democracy.”
Without them there would be no such
thing.
“The Record’ has no quarrel with
these gentlemen, and, with a view to
harmony, has lately sought to find the
causes of their grievances and to per-
suade them to fall into line with the
mass of the party. Acting as their
spokesman, Mr. McGowan bas in-
formed “The Record” that they are not
after official recognition or spoils. All
they desire is a reformation of the faulty
rules prepared by Mr.McGowan himself
for the management of the Democratic
organization in this city, and left by
him as a legacy to the present Demo-
cratic management. But they refused
to meet a committee of the regular or-
ganization with a view to a peaceful
understanding.
There will not be the least difficulty
in bringing about such a change of the
McGowan rules as will deprive the
temporary chairmen of ward conven-
tions of their arbitrary power to prevent
fair representation. There is no doubt
of the propriety of such a change; nor
is'there any doubt ot the willingness of
the Democrats now in control of the
regular organization to assist in effect
ing it. Upon this subject “The Re-
cord’ speaks with authority ; and it
leaves the few gentlemen who consti-
tute ‘“‘the Pennsylvania Democracy’
without ground to stand upon, except
their own private disappointments and
animosities.
Of course, the true Democrats of
Pennsylvania will not bave their eyes
blinded co the fact that behind the pre-
tended zeal for reform in party meth-
ods is the accursed lust for power and
place, which is the :perpetual bane of ;
minority organizations cat off from oth-
er than accidental opportunities for its
gratification. The willingness, how-
ever, to carry a factional fight to euch
an extent as to oppose the regular nomi-
nee of the party for Congressman-at-
large should make an end of the mala.
perts undertakingit., Their refusal to
agree upon terms of conciliation has
disgusted those most disposed to stand
by them.
The opportunity whicn offers at the
February election to indorse the Feder-
al and State Aministrations, and to
crush out mousing and mutinous cabal
who have sought to involve other well-
‘meaning Democrats in their own petty
and selfish malignity, should not be al-
lowed to pass unimproved. The party
cannot afford to go into bankruptcy
and enforce a liquidation simply be-
cause it has a pimple on its little fin-
ger.
Wilson oa His Bill
He Believes That It Will Promptly Pass the
Senate.
New York, Feb. 7.—Prior to his re-
turn yesterday to Washington to take
part in the Hawaiian debate Congress-
man William IL. Wilson, father of the
tariff bill in congress, said he believed
that the bill would promptly pass the
senate. His reason for this belief is
the fact that the Democratic party is
eommitted to the passage of a tariff
bill, and the public sentiment demands
it.” Inthis connection he adds: “If
the party cannot fulfill such pledges it
might as well make its bow and re-
tire.”
Mr. Wilson says his bill is virtually
three bills ; that is, a tariff bill, a cus-
toms administration bill and an 1nter-
nal revenue bill. He does not think
the latter, embracing the income tax,
will again be separated from the tariff
measure.
Gongressman Wileon told several of
his friends in Wall street that they
ought to accept the income tax meas-
ure just as they compelled the south
and west to accept the repeal of the
silver purchase law.
Mifilnburg Much Excited.
LEWISBURG, Pa., February 5.—To-
day at 12 o'clock the town of Mifflin-
burg, a few miles west of here, was
thrown into wild excitement by an
assault made upon Dr. Oliver Pellman
by Dr. Nevin Pontius. The former is
a prominent dentist of the town and the
latter has been practicing medicine in
Colorado, but stopped in Mifilinburg
before he went west. To-day Pontius
entered Pellman’s office and attacked
the latter with a blackjack, the latter
defending himself with a knife. When
they were separated both were badly
bruised and cut up. The affair was
caused by jealousy on the part of
Pontius, who found upon his return
from the west that Pellman had sup-
planted him in the affections of his
promised wife. All the parties are
highly connected. Pontius will be ar-
rested and placed under bail for his ap-
pearance at court.
Js i ARIPO ARIS
Omet Heinle’'s Ambition.
BY WILL TRUCKENMILLER.
ee ee
Omet Heinle sat on the tumble down
stone wall that inclosed his father’s
farm, and watched the red October sun
as it slowly sank behind the distant
ridges of the Alleghenies. His position
commanded a fine view of the Nittany
valley; far away rose the smoke of the
town ; nearer lay the great iron mines,
then farms and orchards, fields of corn
cut and shocked, soon ready for the
huskers ; meadows with clumps of wil-
low and water beech ; a stony pasture,
the little stream that danced and spark-
led in the sunlight ; an abandoned field,
seamed and gullied by summer torrents;
then steep and gravely his father’s un-
productive acres. Behind him rose old
Nittany mountain, its precipitous sides
eovered with oak and birch, while here
and there along the summit stood, like
giants towering far above their fellows,
huge storm-battered pines.
But Omet saw not valley nor moun-
tain, his thoughts were busy with a
problem that had been worrying him
for several weeks. If I could only get
the books and clothes,” he muttered,
«I could go to the high school this win-
ter and by spring I could get a place in
Cashel’s store an’ that way get a start.”
Picking up a bit of gravel he figured
for a few minutes on a large flat stone :
looking at the result ruefully. “It al-
ways comes out the same, ten dollars for
books an’ fifteen for clothes an’ father
says he can’t let me have a dollar;
times are so hard.”” There were tears
in the brown eyes and the lips quivered.
One rough bare foot kept kicking at a
loose stone in the old wall, until at last
it lost.its balance and fell with a thwack
on the toes of the other foot. Omet
came out of his day dream at once, to
dance an improvised jig on one foot,
while he held the other tenderly in his
bands and muttered numerous *‘Ohs!”
and ‘ahs |”
After this performance and a careful
examination of the injured member, he
took up an old tin pail and began pick"
ing up the few bushels of undersized
potatoes his hoe had dug from the hard
unkindly soil ; putting them in a cou-
ple of sacks he placed them on an old
rickety, home-made wheel-barrow to be
transported to the kitchen cellar. ‘On-
ly twenty-five bushels,” reflected Omet,
“off of 'most a half acre of ground,
father ’1l have to buy seed again next
spring.”” Laying hoeand pail on the
barrow, he was about to grasp the hand-
les when the rattle of a vehicle, coming
‘down the mountain road, drew his at-
tention. A moment later it came in
sight, a light spring wagon with red
wheels and a black cover.
“Well Omet!”’ cried the driver, a
loud voiced, red faced man, whose rather
large gray eyes had a keen but kindly
expression. “So your not off to school
yet ! Better start soon if you mean to be
& teacher l Time is goin’ fast.”
“I'm afraid I'll never be a teacher
Mr. Baler,” said Omet. “Tut, tut, my
boy, don’t be discouraged ; what's the
trouble ?” with an involuntary glance
at the bare feet and patched clothes that
showed he knew the trouble without
asking. for in his semi-weekly buckster-
ing rounds, continued for many years,
Mr. Saler had learned to know the busi-
ness affairs of his different customers
about as well as he knew his own.
Thus encouraged Omet soon told his
story to the friendly listener, and at ite
end Mr. Saler said, as he gathered up
his reins and ehirruped to the two black
ponies, “Well Omet, don’t give up yet,
maybe I can help you, If ‘Squire Stout
will board you up at the High school for
your doin’ chores, why I think we'll
soon get the new clothes an’ the bouks,
if you don’t mind a little hard work,”
and the huckster smiled broadly.
“I'll do anything, Mr. Saler, that I
can do,” was the eager reply.
“Well, I'll tell you all about it on
Monday, an’ say, you may have a half
bushel o’ wild grapes ready for me then,
too,’’ and the last words were uttered ir
a jiffy, for the lively team had borne him
already halfway to the valley below.
Omet, left alone, grasped the bandles of
his rude barrow and pushing it before
him at a half run through the gathering
shadows, could scarcely wait until the
potatoes were safely stored in the cellar,
to tell of his coming good fortune to his
mother and sister Ann, and he even re-
peated it to little Joe and baby Susie
with the result that Joe, understanding
only from the eager talk, that Omet was
going away set up a lusty yell in oppo-
sition, in which he was soon joined by
sympathetic little Susie. The father,
coming in just then, the story was again
ropeated, and many were the conjectures
as to how Mr. Saler proposed to secure
the necessary twenty-five dollars.
The two days Omet had to wait for
Mr. Saler’s return were the longest he
had ever known. But at last Monday
came, and before sunrise Omet was off
up the rocky mountain side, 1n company
with Ann, and by noon they were back
with two large pails ot blue grapes.
In the afternoon Mr. Saler came, and
after weighing the ‘butter and counting
the eggs, that Mrs. Heinle brought out
to him, putting each in its proper recep
tacle ; slowly counting out the quarters’
‘ nickles and pennies hegave in exchange
or them, and paying Omet and Ann
‘two silver half dollars for the grapes,
he sat down under the old pear tree and
unfolded his scheme for Omet's acquir-
ing the necessary money to enable him
to attend the High school the coming
term. “You see,” said Mr. Saler,
“chestnuts are goin’ to be plenty over in
Little Valley,
were last spring, I’ve been a watchin’
‘em all summer, an’ I’ve bought the
right to gather all of ‘em from Snyder
the man who owns the land, an’ I'm
goin’ to give Omet two dollars a bustel
for gatherin’ em, an’ I want him to go
to work at once for they are ripe an’
droppin’ down like hail, with every
wind that blows. The old saw mill
camp bein’ in good repair, he had best
stop there while he is gatherin’ em”
and rising, as he finished his rapidly ut-
tered speech, he jumped into his wagon,
clicked to the ponies and was off, while
Omet and the others looked after him in
silent wonder. Two dollars a bushel
for chestnuts, and they plenty, too, why
they would all go gather chestnuts at
that price and very likely make better
wages than they had ever made before.
But the offer had been made to Omet,
only, so of course the others could not
share in it. ¥
Before sunrise the next morning
Omet, was oft for Little Valley, with
Ann for company. Each bore a fair
sized puck on their back and a small
basket in one hand ; Omet carried also
a light hatchet for cutting firewood.
The camp was reached in due time. It
was a low log affair, with rows of bunks
along one side, and very dark and
gloomy from lack of windows. Omet
kindled a fire in the rusty old stove, and
filled two of the bunks with fresh, dry
leaves, while Ann improvised a broom
of hemlock branches, and gave the
rough plank floor such a therough
sweeping as it had never known; then,
after a hasty lunch, the lad was off for
the chestnut woods with bag and basket,
while his sister remained to keep house
and provide a good supply of wood for
the night.
He found the chestnuts plenty beyond
his wildest hope ; the trees scorched and
blackened by fire the previous spring,
were bending with their load of fruit,
and from the open burs the brown nuts
dropped in showers with every passing
breeze.
For two weeks Omet worked early
and late, gathering in all twenty bush-
els of chestnuts; while Ann secured
twelve. They had many companion
pickers, squirrel, raccoon, deer and
great shaggy black bear all claiming a
share, but there were plenty for all.
The first week of November saw
Omet off to school, with new clothes
and bocks, and a neat little sum to his
credit in the First National Bank of
B——This was three years ago, and the
present winter he is teaching his home
district school. Next year he will go
to college, and I venture to predict that
his boyhood ambition will be realized,
and in the coming years he will be
known as a useful and successful teach-
er. '
A Crazy Lad Rules The Town.
Rushes Through the Streets, Causing a Panic
and Shooling a Man.
HazELTON, Pa., Feb, 4.—A crazy
lad, Alexander Marchinkostki, to-day
rushed through the street firing a re-
volver and causing a stampede of the
pedestrians. ‘When he reached the cor-
ner of Broad and Vinestreets, the youth-
ful lunatic espied Nathan Gruver, an
old man. Quickly he drew a bead upon
his victim and fired two shots in rapid
succession. Both bullets penetrated
Gruver's shoulder,
At that time a great many Sunday
school children were upon the street.
The shooting created intense excitement
and the little folks scattered in every di-
rection.
Charles Krapfknocked down March-
hinkoski and disarmed him. Gruver’s
wounds, while serious, are not fatal.
Quay Says Wilson’s Bill Will Pass.
PirrsBurG, Feb. 7.—On Monday,
when Senator Quay passed through
Pittsburg on his way to Washington,
he talked to a friend on the Wilson
tariff bill. The gentleman in question
asked Senator Quay very frankly if he
thought the Wilson bill would pass.
He said he was desirous of knowing,
as the measure would have great
weight on his business. Senator Quay
replied : “The Democrats are in pow-
er and are able to pass the bill, and it
will be passed.”
Bancroft Expelled.
California Pioneers Resent a Statement of the
Historian, »
Sax Francisco, February 6.—By
unanimous vote the Society of Califor-
nia Pioneers last night expelled H. H.
Bancroft, the historian, from honorary
membership in the =ociety.
Resolutions denouncing Bancroft for
an alleged untruthful statement about a
pioneer in his history were adopted.
Sold His Daughter for 8600.
Scranton, Pa., Feb. 7.— George
Sppur, of Luzerne county, this mora-
ing, at the court house here, sold his
daughter Annie, aged 20 years, to
Frank Nasta, for $600. All the parties
are Austrians, and the transaction to-
day is the outcome of a love affair
between Nasta and the girl which be-
gan four years ago in Austria.

A GAY OLD BirDp.—Mr. John Arma-
gost, wko lives near Fillmore hasa
rooster that is 28 years old and it crows
as lustily now as it did when in its
: ‘teens’,
chicken has attained such a remarkable
age and Register Rumberger is looking
around for bids from the various board-
ing house keepers in town. He knows
it can be procured at a bargain and is
willing to guarantee that it will last
for several days.
We would advise him to bea little
cautious before playing such a tough
game, as both he and his rooster would
lay themselves open to a blow in the
place where ‘Minnie wears her beads.”
——There is talk of Co. B. 5th Reg
N. G. P. erecting a handsome armory
on the corner of High and Railroad
streets. It is not definitely settled jet
whether the building will be erected,
but in anticipation of such a move
architects Robert Cole & Co, have pre-
pared prospectives of a very ornamental
building. It would have a frontage, on
High street, of 65 ft and run back 150
ft, along Rail-road, Three small store
rooms are planned for the front with all
the rest taken up as an armory. In the
basement would be a shooting gallery
and general sporting resort. The build-
ing would be of brick, two stories in
front, with a rear portion only one story
high, but with trussed roof.
Tae Corprst DAY THUS FAR.—Af-
ter a season of perhaps the most remark-
able winter weather we have ever ex-
perienced in this locality Ground-hog
day came and the little animal, which
has been the foundation for a weather
fable for yeurs, saw his shadow. Of
course he got scared and ran back into
his hole to hibernate while mortals
suffered six weeks more of winter.
Last year the ground hog prognosti-
cator was a ‘‘fake,” for while he did not
see his shadow we had a very severe
February, and it looked as though his-
tory was to repeat itself this year. On
Saturday, the third, it got very warm
and the snow disappeared like a June
mist and when night came everyone
was expecting to waken up Sunday
morning to see it raining, but such was
not the case. It wassnowing a perfect
blizzard and growing colder. The mer-
cury kept falling until Monday morn-
ing, which was by far the coldest day
we have experienced this winter. It
was one of those kind of days, so cold,
that the nails in the board walks cracked
and the frosty boards gave out a peculiar
crunching sound when one walked over
them,

Mr. Michael Hess this week added two hun_

dreds. The purchase of the well known Hen-
derson farm, on the branch, was consummated
on Monday last, at $42,50 per acre, and Mike
Hess is monarch ofall he surveys and well he
may be. The purchase is a good one, the farm
and buildings are in good repair, with an
automatic pump that supplies fresh water
from a never failing well. Such is luck.
Cards are out for the marriage of Miss Cora,

On the 7th inst the Fairbrook church was
thronged with people from far and near to pay
the last homage to the remains of an old
friend and neighbor, Ephraim Glenn, and
while the choir sang that familiar hymn
“We'll Never Say Good-bye in Heaven” the
friends were given leave to view the remains
as they lay in front of the altar in a beautiful
casket. Rev. Wharton, assisted by Rev. Illing-
worth, conducted the religious services, that
laid away from all earthly view the remains of
a former neighbor and most highly respected
citizen ; by the side of loved ones who had
gone before. The pall - bearers were:

Young Abe was loved by all his school mates,

himself to his Master, on whose name he
called to come unto me when shadows gather
and to rest the toiling hands. Rev. Wharton
paid the last tribute from the words; “If a
man die shall he live again,” inthe Benore
M. E. church, on Sunday morning, where a
large concourse of people gathered to view for
the last time one whom all loved. When the fu-
neral procession moved to the Gray’s burial
ground, where the remains were laid away in
the silent grave. A weeping motker, two sis-
ters and two brothers and a stepfather, with
a large circle of associates, mourn the death

good qualities, though so young.
The Centre county Fomona Grange P. of H:
met in special session at the Leonard Grange
Hall,’ Rock Springs, on Thursday, the 1st 1nst.,
with worthy master I.8S. Frain in the chair.
The morning session was taken up with the
appointment of varicus committees and the
receiving reports of the Fire insurance offi-
cers. When the Centre Hall picnic committee
rendered its report, by State Master Rhone,
they showed the receipts to be almost $1,100
and had it not been necessary to build the
auditorium the indebtedness in the grounds
would have deen cancelled. 12 o'clock ar.
rived and raps were sounded in the lunch
room, whence adjournment was ordered ’til
one o'clock. All were invited to partake of the
elegant feast which farmers wives and daugh
ters that are never or seldom misrepresented
in their culinary skill and ability to drop a
chunk of corn beefinto a pot and let it sim"
mer and sputter until the proper moment to
chuck in the cabbage and potatjes—are amply
able to prepare all other torthsome viands
properly—of which everybody partook
heartily. It was indeed a red letter day for
Leonard Grange as every body was delighted
that had the good fortune of being present.
The afternoon session was well attended.
The committee on credentials made a favora-
ble report. Master Frain answered some in-
quiries as to the Patrons Insurance company
showing that it was the cheapest company by
at least one fourth now in existence. In the
la-t sixteen years the rate has been $1.40 per
M. Worthy Master Rhone took the stand and
expressed his indignation at the various at-
tack upon the grange movement, and that the
year just closed has been one of unusual ae-
tivity in every farming community in the
State. In many sections the order has added
largely to its numerical strength, while in five
sections no increase is being reported. Hon.
J.T. McCormick, H. W. McCracken, George
Dale and Squire A. G. Archey all encouraged
the farmer to the front and enjoined their
hearers to look out for their own best inter:
ests, which might in the tuture bring them an
officer who would at least regard the right of
the agriculturists. Eight members had the
5th degree conferred on them and a most in-
teresting program was arranged and carried
out. Miss May Rhone was called on and gave
one of her excellent recitations, “Ten ».

Books, Magazines Ete.
Home and Country for Feturuary is rich in il
lustrations and variety, the magazine being
highly entertaining as well as instructive.
St. Valentine’s Day is properly remembered
in this number in “Abboo and Abbad. An
Egyptian Valentine on Papyrus,” which is
timely. The grotesque caricatures of 5,000
years ago, which illustrate the aiticle, will be
appreciated by young and old people, and
especially by lovers. ;
The opening article, ¢ Chicago as Seen by a
Frenchwoman,” is by Countess Cecile Stubok-
Fermore. It tells the story of Chicago as
viewed by a foreigner with a titled name, while
“Two Famous Paintings. The True Story of
a Rembrandt and a Douw. From a Dutch
Manuscript; “Only a Change of Form. Story
of a Transmigrated Soul;” “The Preacher of
Shingle Creek. A Gold-Miner’s Story ;” “Slang
and Americanism ;” “Thespia;” “Weather
Vanes ;” “The Coal Industry in Pennsylva-
nia;” “An Interview with St. Peter. Bessy
Brass’s (a New York Reporter) Trip to Heav-
en;’ “Dragoons. The Development of Light
Cavalry;” and a chapter on “A Violin Maker
and a Fiddle Factory,” are among the light
literature and scientific subjects discussed.
A wealth of poetry, among which “Arabel
A Valentine; “Give to Me My Own:” and a
“Blow from sn Unseen Hand,” are worthy of
special mention.
To lovers of light reading, the Magazine is
very enjoyable, and the St. Valentine's number
particularly so. Home and Country is pub-
lished monthly by Jos. W. Kay, at 53 East
10th Street, New York.
