Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 22, 1885.
P. GAY MEEK, EpIToR
Foreign Vultures.
About the most wretched display of
mean, low-down partisan unfairness
that has yet appeared, has been evinced
in a cartoon in a Republican paper,
intended as a reflection upon the ad-
ministration, by which the foreign
bankers, who have taken shares of the
government loan, are represented as
vultures settling down upon our coun-
try and eating out its substance.
Why is it that the government is
compelled to resort to a loan? Chiefly
because the Republicans in Congress
are a unit in opposing every financial
measure that would help to avoid the
necessity of borrowing money. The
low-flung journal that gleefully pictures
the foreign vultures, has rejoiced over
and encouraged every obstraction, re-
sorted to by the Republicans, to pre:
vent legislation that would relieve a
financial embarrassment chiefly due to
their own previous bad management.
It derided the President's patriotic
appeal to Congress to relieve the urgent
necessities of the treasury, expecting a
partisan advantage from the financial
dishonor of the government.
And why is it that foreign bankers
are seen taking part in our government
loan? It is, in a great measure, be-
canse the Republicans in Congress are
almost solidly opposed to a popular
loan, earnestly desired by the adminis-
tration, which, by authorizing bonds of
small denominations, would enable the
citizens to take them and become the
creditors of their government. It is
on account of Republican obstruction
to a popular loan, that the Republican
journal in question is enabled to pic-
ture foreign vultures.
——For vetoing the bill making an
additional law Judge in Washington
county, Gov. Hastings deserves the
thaoks of all good citizens of the State,
irrespective of party. It is a bright
spot, early in his administration, that
reflects credit upon his good judgment
and conscientious purposes, and if he
only has the moral courage to use the
same power of veto upon scores of
other iniquitous measures that the
Legislature seems determined to force
upon him, he will leave the guber-
natorial office with a much higher rate
of credit then is generally predicted
for him.
An Appeal From Those in Distress.
The letier which you will find be-
low is an appeal for help from a family
in destitute circumstances now in
Kansas. We publish it with the hope
that any of the readers of the Waron-
MAN, who can aid ue in any way in re-
lieving the want of Mr. Hivton and
his family, will do so. Any contribu-
tions sent to this office will be cheer-
fully torwarded on their mission of
mercy.
Caldwell, Kans., Feb. 16th, 1895.
Mz. P. G. Meek, Editor Democratic Watchman.
Dear Sir :—I am a homesteader in the
Cherokee Strip, which opened for settlement
September 16th, 1893, and have been living on
my claim since that time. I came here trom
Kansas, crops having been very poor in that
State the last two years of my residence there
and were & total failure here last year, on ac-
count of the drouth.
Times are very hard and it is impossible to
get a day’s work to do at any price. I have a
wifeand three little children, and even if I
had raised a crop we would have had a hard
time to get through until another could te
harvested. But as it is we have not been able
to buy clothing, and but little to eat. If you,
or any of your friends have any old clothing
that you could send to us or if you could help
us in any way we would be very grateful.
Yours truly, ELtswortr Hirtox.

—— The defeat of the proposition to
build a county poor house was not un-
expected. Twelve years ago the coun-
ty registered a majority against the
plan and from the moment it was
broached again there was every indica-
tion that the same fate would again
overtake it. However superior a
county home might be to the overseer
system of keeping the poor our people
are not ready for it.
Electrical Workers on a Strike.
New York, Feb. 18.—The electrical
workers, 900 men, went out on sa
strike to-day. At noon the board of
walking delegates of the building
trades took charge of the strike, and if
any firm gives employment to any
electrical worker who is not a member
of the electrical workers’ union this
board declares that they will order on
strike every man in the building trade,
and as the board claims its mandate
will extend to every man at work any-
where within fifty miles of this city,
80.000 men will go out on strike when
ordered. The electrical workers say
that five weeks ago they notified the
Electrical contractors’ association that
if on and after Feb. 15 they were not
limited to eight hours for a day’s work
they would strike. Wages had noth-
ing to do with the question,
All Republican.
Pattison Snowed Under Badly in Philadelphia.
City Solicitor Warwick's Majority May Reach
the Sixty Thousand Mark—The Whole Re-
publican Ticket Elected in Philadelphia by
Large Majorities.
PHivapELpHIA, Feb. 19.—Philadel-
phia to-day maintained its reputation
for stalwart Republicaniem and elected
the candidates of the Republican party
by a majority of from 45,000 to 55,
The election to-day was for mayor,
receiver of taxes, councilmen, police
magistrates and school directors. The
Republicans made a clean sweep and
elected their candidates for mayor and
raceiver of taxes by a greater majority
than ever given to similar officers upon
local issues.
The candidates of the Republican
party for mayor and receiver of taxes
were City Solicitor Charles F. Warwick,
and William J. Roney respectively. Ex-
Governor Robert E. Patttison and Col-
one! Sylvestor Boonaffon, Jr., were
the candidates of the Democratic
party for the same office.
Seldom in the history of local poli-
tics has a campaign been so fiercely
1 fought as the one which closed to-
night. The Democratic papers made
a violent assault upon Mr, Warwick
and his associates and accused them
of being the tools of a Republican ring
that would use them to further the in-
dividual interests of certain members
of the parly.
The Republican papers retaliated in
kind and scoffed at Mr. Pattison’s re-
form platform and published columns
of matter purporting to show that dur-
ing his recent term as Governor he
used that office to further in the most
partisan maoner the interests of the
Democratic party.
Mr. Warwick in his letter of accep-
tance and repeatedly from the platform
denied the charges of the Democratic
papers that he was under pledges to
any one, and that, if elected, he would
administer the office of mayor for the
best interests of the city of Philadel
phia alone,
While the Republican papers more
or less made the campaign upon na-
tional issues, the Democrats conducted
their canvass upon the ground of local
interests, The situation was complica-
ted by a supposed disaffection in the
Republican ranks, by which the tol
lowers of United States Senator Quay,
State Senator Boise, Penrose and Coro-
ner Samuel H. Ashbridge were believ-
ed to be inimical to Mr. Warwick's
candidacy. This supposed fight was
the outgrowth of the abrupt “turn
down’ of Senator Penrose forthe mayor-
ality nomination and the substitution
of Mr. Warwick on the day before the
convention for Mr. Penrose by the
local Republican leaders National
Committeeman David Martin and
State Senator Charles A. Porter.
Much political capital was made out
of this supposed disaffection by the
Democratic papers, and charges of
various kinds affecting local interests
were brought against Messrs. Martin
and Porter.
If a split ever really existed in the
Republican ranks it has been healed
and no evidence of a ‘“knifing” of the
candidates of the party is visible in to-
day’s vote.
A great effort was made by the Dem-
ocratic managers of the campaign to
array the independent Republican vote
of the city against Mr. Warwick and up
to to-day it was thought that they had
been to a certain extent successful.
The fight for the receivership of taxes
was obscured by the greater promi-
nence given to the mayorality campaizu
Mr. Roney, as the brother-in-law of Mr,
Martin, was subjected, however, to a
number of fierce assaults by the Dem-
ocratic papers, and, as Colonel Ban-
naflon was an independent Republican,
with a magnificent war record, it was
thought that Mr. Roney was even
more liable to defeat than Mr. War-
wick. This belief, however, was er-
roneous and Mr. Roney has been elec-
ted with probably and approximately
equal majority to the head of the tick-
et. The Republicans were also victori-
ous in their councilmanic fights, ex-
cept in one or two instances where lo-
cal ward issues dominated the contests
and their majority in the city councils
will be greater than ever.
There was no fight upon police mag-
istrates, as under the law their number
is apportioned according to the vote of
the two parties.
When Mayor Stuart, the present in-
cumbent of the chief executiveship of
the city, was elected, his majority was
39,000 and at the last state election,
when Governor Hastings was elected,
Philadelphia gave him 85,000 majori-
ty.
Elections were held in ever city, bor-
ough and township in Pennsylvania
to-day and returns received to-night in-
dicate that the Democrats in every
case have held their own.
AT PITTSBURG.
Pirrseurg, Pa., Feb. 19.—Every
ward in Pittsburg to-day gave a ma-
jority in favor of every proposition con-
tained in the proposed issue of bonds
to the amount of $4, 750,000 for public
improvements. The total majority in
the city will run anywhere from 10,-
000 to 15,000.
AT ALTOONA.
ALTOONA, Pa., Feb. 19.—On a light
vote the Republicans have five hun-
dred majority for their city ticket, Al-
derman W. R. Smith, Republican, was
defeated for re-election, his competitor
being John A. Doyle, formerly city re-
corder. D. G. McCullough, D. B.
Couch and John Elbert, Republican
candidates for common council, were
also defeated.
AT WILLIAMSPORT.
WiLLiamsporT, Pa., Feb. 19.—The
local election passed off quietly, about
60 per cent, of the vote being polled.
With a few exceptions the councilman-
ic vote is Republican by good majori-
ties,

Colorado, to Test the Views of the Senators.—
Vilas Defends Mr. Carlisle.
WasHINGTON, Feb, 19.—The silver
fight in the senate is finished, and no
vote will be had on the Jones bill. The
one day devoted to that bill showed
conclusively that no amount of pres
sure would bring about a vote, and if
the silver bill were kept before the
senate that it would result in deteating
the appropriation bills and force an
extra session.
The silver men feel that they have
shown their strength, and believe they
have gained a substantial victory in
securing the promise of a vote upon the
resolution presented by Mr. Wolcott
declaring the sense of the senate. Al
though the agreement was not entered
into the senate, all the senators pres.
ent who were opposing the resolution
——John Love, ason of Mrs. Mar.
garet Love, of Tusseyville, fractured his
left leg above the ankle while coasting
near his home.
——Theodore Swank, of Danville,
was bitten by a supposed mad hound
the other day and when his arm swelled
up his friends raised a purse of $225 to
gend him to the Pasteur institute in
New York for treatment.
——Mr. Philip Collins, who has been
in failing health for several years, is in
such a critical condition at his home in
Ebensburg, that his sister, Mrs. Shoe-
maker, and the Misses Collins, and
brother, Mr. Tom Collins, of this place,
have been with him all week.
——A switch operator at Mont-
gomery station onthe P. & E. rail-
road threw news express off the track

will probably be debated somewhat, |
and senators will briefly express their
views.
It is possible to prevent a vote if
those who were not parties to the pri-
vate agreement should decide to op-
pose it, as there was no unanimous con-
sent asked or given in the senate. The
Republicans who agreed that there
should be a vote included Senators
Aldrich, Platt, Chandler and Quay, as
well as the silver leaders on the Re-
publican side, while Senators Cockrell,
Blackburn and Jones of the Democratic
senators agreed to the proposition.
The opponents of the Jones hill
present said they were willing there
should be a vote on the declaratory res-
olution presented by Mr. Wolcott, and
it is believed that this private agree
ment will be adhered to in the senate.
THE FIGHT ENDED.
This ends the silver fight for this
session, and the appropriation bills
will monopolize the remainder of the
session, with perhaps some time de-
voted to the bankruptcy bill and the
pooling bill.
A resolution, submitted by Mr. Wol-
cott, of Colorado, one of the most ac-
tive silver leaders, just before adjourn-
went is regarded as significantly fore-
‘shadowing the course of the silver bill
when it comes up to-morrow.
The silver forces asserted their
strength at the outset of the proceed-
ings to-day, and by a vote of 36 to 27
displaced the morning business, and
took up the silver bill before the regu-
lar order had been reached.

Promises Don't MAKE THE GHOST
WaALk.—The habit of newspapers, in
making notices of theatrical companies
that have played the towns in which
they are published, of concluding arti-
cles in this strain “all present were
pleased and we can promise Mr. Quinn,
the gentlemanly manager, a splendid
reception should he again come this
way with his company,’ is all very well,
but it don’t make the actor heart glad.
Such promises are as empty as deaf
nuts and even in the event of a com-
pany’s playing a return date the vol-
nutary obligation is usually forgotten.

his Hamlet the Mobile Herald says :
Undoubtedly he isthe most natural actor on
he American stage to-day, and although com-
paratively unknown on account of his ex-
treme youth, he will not remain long in ob-
scurity now that he has made a beginning.
He is one of the most ideal Hamlets that we
have ever seen and we say this without solici-
tation and without the knowledge of Mr.
Young or his manager, in fact we have
often seen Booth and thought him without an
equal.
A MorNING WEDDING. —Aft half-
past seven on Wednesday morning
there occurred in St. John’s Catholic
church, a very pretty wedding cer-
emony. It was the nuptials of William
H. Doll and Miss Emma M. Gillan, of
this place. Mr. George Doll, a brother
of the groom and Miss Millie Kelly at-
tended the bridal pair and made a very
pretty wedding party indeed.
Mr. and Mrs. Doll left on a morning
train for New York where they will
tarry a week, then return to occupy a
snug little home the groom has ready
on Logan street.
Both young people are well known
in Bellefonte and carry with them the
best wishes of a host of friends.
VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY,—
There is no organization of women more
useful in its work or more helpful to a
community than the society which the
women of this town hepe to organize in
the Y. M. C. A. hall, Monday evening
Feb. 25th. What it undertakes to do
may be expressed as housekeeping ex-
tended, and its demands fit in with
facility to the ordinary duties of women.
That the home is neat and well ordered,
and that its sanitary arrangements are
beyond criticism is expected of every
housekeeper ; and now why should she
not be interested in the condition of the
street upon which she lives, or the by-
way through which she passes, since the
men will not.
This organization, purely voluntary,
though regularly incorporated, does
some ot its best work by first creating a
public sentiment in favor of needed re-
forms. It has no authority, unless we
recognize the sovereignty that right al-
ways exercises over wrong. The keen
observation of what should be done,
and the diligence with which the need
is presented to the proper authorities
have usually won into sympathy those
having charge of town affairs, and who
are glad to avail themselves of this effi-
cient co-operation,
That this town needs just such a so-
ciety is evident to every resident and
visitor, and if you are interested at all
in the neat appearance of the town or
your own surroundings you are cordial-
ly invited to attend and participate in
the meeting Monday evening.

——A remarkably favorable showing
is made by the thirty-first annual report
of the Brooklyn Life Insurance Com-
pany, of New York. The asses now
reach a total of $1,685,949.86 which in-
clude $532,695 in bonds and mortgages
which are secured by properties nearly
double that amount in value ; $343,750
in city and other first mortgage bonds,
and $546,975 in real estate in the cities
of New York and Brooklyn. Among
the liabilities is a surplus by the new
standard (4 per cet.) of $153,833 or
equal to $243,000 under the former 4}
per cent. standard. Notwithstanding
the general depression which prevailed
last year the company was able to in-
crease its assets, income and surplus.
The care and economy with which the
funds contributed by its policy-holders
are invested and expended is one char-
acteristic of this company ; another is
its liberality in policy provisions, which
are exceeded by no other life insurance
company. It is merely just to say of
the company that it has always been in
the van in originating and adopting
the most beneficent innovations now
embraced in the practice of the business.

Business FOR THE Last WEEK.—
Dun’s Trade Review sums up the status
of business as it closed for last week in
the following way :
Another week’s exports of gold and
withdrawals from the Treasury have
been almost entirely stopped by the
contract for purchases of gold from
Messrs. Belmont and Morgan. Though
its details only became public Thursday,
and were quite sharply criticised by
many, the fact should not be forgotten
that the rate of exchange was in fact
controlled, gold was actually started
hitherward from Europe, and there was
entirely arrested, at least thus far, the
outward movement which had seemed
within 48 hours of emptying the Treas-
ury. Close criticism of things done in
such a stress comes later. For the
moment business only waits to know
whether sales of American securities
and withdrawals of gold from the Treas-
ury have been lastingly stopped by the
remarkable increase of confidence.
The money market shcws a tendency
to strsngthen, and somewhat larger
offering of cornmercial paper appears,
though not in proportion to the reported
activity of mills. Doubtless many are
working only short time, but any im-
provement is encouraging. A some-
what closer market is expected as a re-
sult of the bond transaction. The vol.
ume of domestic business represented by
clearing was 5.8 per cent. larger than
last year, but 84.5 per cent. smaller
than in 1893, and the average for Feb.
ruary to date shows increase of 8.9 per
cent. over last year, but a decrease of
80.1 per cent. from 1893. The failures
for the first week of February show lia-
bilities ot only $2,906,890, of which
$729,348 were of manufacturing, and
$1,934,807 of trading concerns. The
final report for January shows an ag-
gregate of $15,687,988 against $25,843,
028 last year ; $3,992,228 were of man-
ufacturing concerns this year, against
$11,689,715 last year, while $11,826,105
were of trading concerns against $17,-
234,687 last year. Failures for the
week were 270 in the United States
against 323 last year, and 51 in Canada
against 55 last vear.
THE Last Busisgss MEETING OF
THE OLD CouxciL.—On Monday night
council got together for a short session
in which to close up its business for the
year ard be ready to undergo a re-or-
ganization as soon as the new members
are sworn in.
About the only matter presented for
consideration was the question as to
whether the tax collector could send
people to work out their taxes on the
streets or not. Council held the matter
under advisement. Several unimpor-
tant reports were made and Jas. P.
Hughes was refunded taxes he was
made pay on property, a corner only of
which is in the borough, snd on the
whole of which he had already paid
taxes in Spring township.
Bills aggregating $155.73 were order-
ed paid and council adjourned.
Foster PREDICTS STORMY WEATH-
ER.—My last bulletin gave forecasts of
the storm wave to cross the continent
from 17th to 21st. A typographical
error last week made the storm wave
due in the eastern States on the 24th ;
21st is the correct date. The next dis-
turbance will reach the Pacific coast
about the 22d, cross the western moun-
tains by close of 23d, the great central
valleys from 24th to 26th and the east-
ern States about about the 26th.
This will be one of the most noted
and severe storms of the year, and de-
serves special attention. Probably two
entirely distinct disturbances will de-
velope within the week of 22d to 28th
west of the Mississippi river, one of
which T have described above, and
which will probably enter the continent
between Vancouver island and the
mouth of the Columbia river about the
22d or 23rd, move directly toward Kan-
sas City, thence between the upper and
lower lakes near or north of Albany,
N. Y., and then down the St. Lawrence
river.
Causes that lead to destructive storms
were similar Feb. 21, to 26, 1887,
when tornadoes occurred in California,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana and
West Virginia, causing great destruc-
tion of property.
We have no means of knowing where
the tropical storm will be from 21st to
27th, but it will probably be within the
Gulf of Mexico, or on some of its north-
ern coasts. Usually the tropical storms
of February are mild, causing heavy
and long-continued rains in the gulf
States, but this storm, wherever it may
be, will come near doveloping the
force of a hurricane.
The average path of thesa February
tropical storms is to strike the continent
south of the Gulf of California, then by
way of El Paso, Tex. Toledo, O., and
the southern part of Newfoundland to
the British isles, but probabilities are
that from the 21st to the 27th this tropi-
cal storm will take a more southern
route.
Probabilities favor a severe cold wave
in the northern part of the great central
valleys about the 25th. By watching
the national weather bureau reports
about that time the location of the tropi-
cal storm may be learned in time to be
of great value. If that storm ison the
gulf coast moving eastward about the
24th to the 26, the cold wave will do
great damage in the southern States
about two days after, and be very severe
in the northern States. But if the tropi-
cal storm is moving westward on the
Gulf of Mexico, the cold wave of the
29th will not enter the southern States.
An expert can locate the tropical
storms by watching the movements of
the cold wave on the continent, and
along this line is an excellent opportun-
ity for our national weather bureau to
improve its work.
The warm wave will cross the western
mountain country about the 22d, the
great central valleys about the 24th and
the eastern States about the 26th. The
cold wave will cross the western moun-
tain country about the 25th, the great
central valleys the 27th and the eastern
States about March 1. ;
The storm preceding the one describ-
ed above will be a terror on the north
Atlantic, which it will enter off the
coast of Maine about the 22, moving
eastward along the usual steamship
lines to the British isles. I advise all to
not undertake any pleasure trips by
ocean steamers from the 22d to 27th, in-
clusive.
