It isn’t steerers that the ‘‘old man’’ needs. He wants those thirteen swingers on the rear end of his sled, that’s what he needs. —Imperialism would be a great and glorious thing, no doubt, for everybody but the poor tax payersand thejboys who would have to do garrison duty on the sun scorch- ed, fever infested sand hills of the Phil- ippines. —The clean up on the Klondike this spring is estimated will aggregate about $30,000,000. It is not stated how many tons of hair will be cut nor how manygbars of soap will be used in the clean up of the Klondikers. —The Bellefonte post-office puzzle is no nearer a solution to-day than when it was first started. While to all appearances everything is moving along smoothly, yet there is a tempest in the tea pot right here at home and you will hear the cracking of the steam some of these fine days. ——The penny wise and pound foolish policy of the fellows who insured in the Iron City Mutual is likely to prove a cost- ly lesson to them and it will be a reminder to many in this county who do business on the plan that the cheapest is good enough. Cheap things answer certain purposes, but it is crassest folly to risk the value of prop- erty in flimsy corporations, merely to save a few dollars in annual premiums. —Mr. WANAMAKER could have given a pretty stage effect to his startling epigram, if he would just have had a shower of bills to the amount of $400,000 fall over himself when he shouted to the fifty-two anti- QUAY Republicans: ‘‘To be right is better than to be regular.” It was neither right nor regular, the buying of New York State for HARRISON and Mr. WANAMAKER has never yet denied that he didn’t get the postmaster generalship by so doing. —The Nicarauga canal hill has passed the Senate with its proviso that the Secre- tary of the Treasury subscribe for nine hundred and twenty-five thousand . shares of the stock at $100 a share. if we are’ to have Hawaiia and the Philippines we must have a nearer water way to those ports than around the horn and we’ll get it by way of the Nicaragua canal. But after ex- pending our $92,500,000 to complete the great water way is there anything certain about our owning the Philippines by the time it is completed, six years hence? ~The right hopeful THOMAS V. COOPER, former luminary and present disturber of political elements in Delaware and Chester counties, has turned another double- somersault in mid-air and once more per- mits his light to be concealed under the QUAY bushel. He appears to be the great- est political gymnast in the State to-day, even with his three score and four years of age, but, sad to relate, he bas reached the stage of impotency, for double-somersault artists are back numbers, even for amuse- ment purposes with wagon shows. ——Governor STONE is at least consis- tent. In his organization of his adminis- trative forces in sympathy with Senator QUAY he is not doing the people of Penn- sylvania an injustice, nor is he stultifying himself or guilty of a breach of faith. Pennsylvania knew that Governor STONE was Mr. QUAY’S friend before he was elected and the fact that the voters of the State trusted him as such in no wise mili- tates against a continuance of that friend- ship. The only fair way to have had the Governor drop QUAY was to have defeated him for Governor. . ——JoHN H. MAXWELL, the Chicago newspaper reporter, deserved the judgment of $10,000 which the United States Circuit court handed down to him on Tuesday,.in his suit against NAT GOODWIN, the actor. MAXWELL wrote a play which he submit- ted to GOODWIN who told him that he could not use it becauseall of his plays had to be from the pens of men with estab- lished reputations as playwrights. It de- veloped, later, however, that GOODWIN’S play ‘Ambition’ was MAXWELL'S pro- duction under thin disguise and, to add in- sult to injury, the name of the villain in ““Ambition”’ was made JOHN MAXWELL. —Former state treasurer BENJAMIN J. HAYWoOD was taken away from Harris- burg in a special car on Sunday. He is in a terribly broken down condition and his physicians say he will need a year’s rest. He is being treated now by a magnetic’ healer from Topeka, Kansas. There are some other statesmen who will soon be sent away from Harrisburg in a terribly broken down condition, but they will be given more than one year’s rest, and it will take more than a magnetic healer from Kansas to bring them around. Even MARY ELLEN LEASE wouldn’t be able to do it, were she to come out of the Sunflower State and fly down to Beaver the magic of her hypnotic suggestions would never revive the ‘‘old man’’ when once he is sent to rest. _VOL. 44 STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. Heading off Election Reforms. Hon. DAVID MARTIN, late Secretary of the Commonwealth, now representing the eighth district of Philadelphia in the State Senate has undertaken the task of reforming the election laws and methods of voting. There is no one in or out of the Senate who knows the needs of reforms in these matters more than does Mr. MARTIN, nor is there: any one better qualified to point out ‘the weaknesses in our present system or indicate how they could be rem- edied than he is, but unfortunately for re- form and for the purity and simplicity of our election laws, Mr. MARTIN'S sugges- tions, in that line, show that his purposes are not to simplify and better, but sim- ply to add to and prolong the evils we must endure. : In the bill Mr. MARTIN has presented in the Senate not a single substantial re- form is suggested, nor will there be one se- cured unless great and radical changes are made to those he presents as designed to satisfy the demands of the people. It is well known to every one who has given any thought to this matter that the great weaknesses and underlying evils in our present system are: First—the complex and doubtful manner of certifying nominations and the power given to the courts to refuse, for purely technical reasons, a place upon the ticket to those whom the people intended should be there. Second—the size and complica- tions of a ticket that gives excuses for re- questing aid in marking it, and Third—the refusal to permit the opening of the ballot boxes to prove that fraud has been perpe- trated in voting or in making returns. While our election laws are full of wrongs and loopholes for the perpetration of crimes, those named are the most glar- ing and the ones behind which the greatest outrages on the purity and prudence of the ballot are committed.. The first empow- ers a judge who may be, and often is, act- ing under the dictation of a political boss, or in abeyance to party necessity, to tech- nically rule off the ticket any name that the bosses may deem dangerous to their hopes or purposes; and thus, at the very outstart, defeat the will of the people. The second is the hiding place of the bribed and briber, while the third ‘guarantees im- munity from’ deteotion and safety from prosecution, for the villains .who, for the sums paid them by: greater ones, stuff the ballot box, accept fraudulent votes or fal- sify returns. Neither of these wrongs will Mr. MAR- TIN’S bill prevent nor does he propose any radical or even practical change in any of the provisions covering these points. The power of the judge to make the ticket; the booth in which bribing flourishes and finds safety, and the sealed: ballot boxes containing their evidence of fraud, are all left as they are. So long as these are parts of our election system and are protected and sustained by law as at present, just so long will the evils growing out of them ex- ist and flourish. We know that there are those who hon- estly believe that any change will be for the better; but this idea is wrong. A change that will not improve will only prolong the cvils of our present system. We are near the time when reforms must come unless the people can be cajoled into believing that they have them when they have not, and ‘this is where the danger lies now. They see and understand the evils that are now practiced under the protec- tion of the existing election laws; they ap- preciate the necessity for changes that will do away with those evils, but they are easily fooled—easily led to believe that they are getting ‘just. what they want, . when it is all pretense, and the purpose is only to deceive and stop their demands for a better system. , It was so when the pres- ent election laws were enacted. . They were given us as reform laws. It has taken eight years for the public to experience and understand how little of reform there is in them, and it is ‘beginning to look, judging from the reception the suggested changes are receiving, that another ‘‘gold brick,’ in the way of pretended reforms, is to be sold to the public, in the hope that the need- ed effectual changes that are now demanded may be again delayed for years to come. We hope that’ those who are clothed with the authority to enact our laws at Harris- burg will not be foolish enough to force upon the people a new election law as com- plex, complicated and full of weakness as 1s the present one. Better by far to have the one we now have, than a change that will neither stop the evils that are justly to be ‘complained of nor simplify our present sys- tem of voting. The latter will only prove an excuse for reform and its purpose is to stay the demand that will eventually secure it, if not headed off by the adoption of the trifling and inadequate changes Mr. MAR- TIN suggests. —There is no danger of thirty thousand armed Filipinos frightening uncle Sam, but what in the world will he have accom- plished when he does pound them into sub- mission, Not a Prosperous Sign. There may be times and occasions when the people can be deceived, but at some times and on some occasions there is no more chance of shutting their eyes to the true condition of affairs than there is of finding a summer temperature at the North pole. The effort now being made to in- duce the masses to believe that prosperity is starting over the country is one of these occasions. Telling them how Wall street is flourishing; how the banks of the great financial cities are gorged with money; how insurance and trust companies are seeking securities for their over accumulated capital; and how al! the financial institu- tions of the country have more money on hand than they know what to do ‘with, is the weakest kind of evidence of prosperity anywhere. And the people know this. They know that a country is prosperous only when its money and its men are busy. When the business demands will put and keep in circulation every dollar of capital within it. The very fact that so much money is lying idle in the banks and trust and in- surance companies is the strongest evidence that business is not profitable. If it were every surplus dollar in the country would he in demand and in place of millions be- ing risked and wasted in stock and other speculative enterprises daily and millions more locked up and earning nothing; it would be invested in legitimate industries that would give labor to the masses and insure a profitable return to the investor. The fact that Wall street is wild in stock speculations; that three and four per cent stocks are selling at double their actual value; that the demand for the valueless stock, that are listed on the boards of the gamblers on the stock exchange, is with- out precedent, is proof, not of prosperity but of a condition of affairs that does not warrant the investment of money in actual and legitimate business enterprises. With- out these we are not prosperous; with them there is a legitimate demand for every cent of money in the country. If the situation was changed and this surplus money was among the people, so that the people could buy that which they need, we might look for and expeet pros- perity. But it.is not and.uatil it is all the prosperity we will have will be found in’ the columns of papers representing Wall street and those whose interests are sub- served by deceiving the public. The Senatorial Fight Still On. The fight for the seat in the United States Senate now occupied by MATTHEW STAN- LEY QUAY, of Pennsylvania, is still on at Harrisburg. Nine ballots have already been taken without any material change in the situation and from reports received from the capitol last evening there is every indication to point to the conclusion that the three contending elements in the Legis- lature have settled down for a long contest. The first flush of the excitement has worn off. The QUAY people have come to realize that their ‘‘old man’’ is not a win- ner in the first round, as he has been so often in the past and their faces become more serious and worried, day by day, as they realize that the Antis are determined and the Democrats are above being tam- pered with. Every resource has been tried without avail. Each day the ballot is be- ing taken, but no nearer does QUAY get to the goal. : The fact that the opposition has been able to hold out this long against the luring baits that have been offered is evidence that there is a real opportunity to dethrone the boss and redeem the honor of Pennsyl- vania. In all the fights that have been made against him in the past his opponents have invariably laid down at his first stroke. Now it is different and the very fact that the fight has been kept up this long strengthens the men who are against him and encour- ages the hope that they will ultimately win. The struggle has become a matter of deepest interest all over the State. _ There | is nota voter who is not looking toward Harrisburg with his eye on the actions of the man who is representing him there. How. proud the constituents of Democratic Senators and Representatives must feel when they read the returns of the ballot- ing each day. They are standing solidly for Pennsylvania’s honor and while it may not be possible for them to elect the hon- orable GEORGE A. JENKS they will be ready to do anything to accomplish the disruption of QUAY-ism, even if it amounts to supporting an Independent. ——According to the latest statistics there were eighty thousand Spanish sol- diers died in Cuba during the last cam- paign. Sickness caused the death of most of them. Such a frightful fatality will hardly have the effect of making many American mothers imperialists. They will be thinking of their own dear sons, liable to military duty, when they read of the fate that met so many thousand unacclima- ted Spanish boys. ——Subseribe for the WATCHMAN. BELLEFONTE, PA., JANUARY 27, 1899. Wont Work. The effort of the QUAY clackers at Harris- burg to create ill-feeling on the part of the Democrats, towards the Independents, be- cause of their failure to join in organizing the House and in the distribution of its patronage will, and should have, little ef- fort on the action of those who are there representing the people. It is true that the Democrats have no share in the patron- age of the Legislature and were given no voice in the make up of its committees. It is equally true that this is due to the failure, or refusal, of the Independents to join with them, when fusion would have wrested this patronage and power from he hands of the machine leaders. But what has this to do now with the situation, even if position and patronage were, or are, ques- tions in the senatorial struggle now. on ? It is not for a few heads of committees or a few minor clerkships or paster and folder jobs that the Democrats have been making this fight. The contest they are in is much broader and far more reaching than any position or patronage that could he had at Harrisburg would give. It isa contest that has been on for years and years—a contest for clean state government and reputable representation in the Senate of the United States—a contest against QUAY and Quay- ism, and no matter how little else they may get, if they succeed in defeating him and in curtailing the power of the rings and roosters that have been fostered and fattened through his methods, they will have reason to be satisfied and rejoice over the victory they have won. The political retirement of Mr. QUAY and the defeat of the debauchery and devilment his methods produce, is what the Demo- crats are working for. If it were places and patronage they are after, as his papers and retainers would have the public be- lieve, surely they would owe him nothing. He organized the House; what patronage did any Democrat receive in that? His henchmen made up the committees; what representation did they allow Democrats on them ? If this clamor of the followers of Mr. QUAY, that the Independents deserve noth- ing from the Democrats because they have given them nothing in return, is correct, Jowmuch less consideration. does he and the rotten methods he resorts to deserve at their hands ? ‘ When it comes to the time that Senator QUAY and the despicable political methods he represents can be defeated, the loss of a few minor places on the hill at Harrisburg, or the power to preside over a few legisla- tive committees will not stand in the way of that defeat. Democrats know their duty and they will do it. The patronage, or loss of patronage, rack- et wont work. —The annual report of the provost of the University of Pennsylvania has been issped almost simultaneously with the con- vening of the Legislature. Another singular feature about the publication is that it nev- er'has the wide-spread distribution at any other time that it bas during the year that the Legislature is in session. To those who pay any attention to such matters the cause will be apparent. The University of Pennsylvania is making an early bid for a fat appropriation, which it will demand at the expense of other institutions, more dis- tinctively entitled to state support. There can be no objection to the University pro- curing whatever support it can, but it has no right to attempt to impose itself upon the State, as a state institution, when it is not such. During the last session those who were lobbying for the Philadelphia in- stitution actually went to the extreme of trying to make Legislators believe that it was a state institution and that the bound- en duty of the State was to support it. All this at the expense of The Pennsylvania State College, which the Legislature of Pennsylvania accepted as a child of the State, in 1863, when it 2cepted the nation- al land grant act of July 2nd, 1862, with all its provisions and conditions. ——AUGUSTUS H. GARLAND, who was former President CLEVELAND'S Attorney General from 1885 to 1889, dropped dead in Washington yesterday from a stroke of apoplexy. He was one of the South’s most brilliant sons. He opposed secession in the Arkansas state convention in 1861, but served in the Confederate Congress throughout the war. Later he was elected Governor of Arkansas and was in the U. S. Senate from 1876 to 1885. : ——The New York woman who horrow- ed a baby and frightened a rich broker into paying her large sums of money, under the delusion that it was his, leads us to ‘think that it is about time to change the old prov- erb that ‘It is a wise child that knows its own father’’ into, it is a wise father that knows its own child. ——The death of justice HENRY W. WILLIAMS of the Supreme ¢ourt, which oc- curred suddenly in Philadelphia on Wednes- day, will open the way for gaining anoth- er Democratic judge on the Supreme court |, bench. There will be two to elect next fall and under the constitution one of them must be a Democrat. NO. 4. Written for the Democratic Watchman. THE NEGLECTED GRAVE. By WiLL TRUCKENMILLER. To-day I went into the old grave-yard, Where the sun had melted the snow; Dock and briars choke all the pathways, And on the grave mounds low, Rank weeds and grasses grow. I stood beside a little mound Where the growth was rank and wild; 80 small a mound, I knew it to be The grave of a little child— Pure, sweet and undefiled. My thoughts went back through the long, long years To the time co far away, When the mourners came, with bitter tears, And their sweet treasure lay, There in the cold, damp clay. They sodded the little mound with care And spent many summer hours, About the spot where their darling lay, While they planted sweet flowers That throve in the sun and showers. But this was long, long years ago; The mourners have passed away, And no one has a thought or care For the little grave to-day— Neglected it must lay. Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel. From the Philadelphia Times. Governor Stone has done just what might have reasonably been expected in throwing the whole moral and material power of his administration in favor of his friend Senator Quay. His election was opposed by many because it was believed that his administration would be chiefly political and wholly in the interest of those who are in his political favor, but Stone won. Governor Stone’s public letter sustaining Senator Quay as the regular Republican candidate before the Legislature, his with- drawal of all the important appointments unconfirmed before the Senate which had been made by his predecessor, and the or- ‘ganization of his cabinet, all show in the clearest manner that he recognizes the fact that he was nominated by political in- terests, elected by political interests and that he is expected to serve political inter- ests. 1 Governor Stone, unlike some Governors of the past, has the courage of his convie- tions and he doesn’t attempt to deceive or mislead anyone. His policy and his acts are as open as day and his administration is just what every intelligent voter of the State had a right to expect when Governor Stone was elected. He was nominated ‘by ‘the friends of Senator Quay and was elect- ed chiefly by the same influences, and. he, has never hesitated for a moment sinee his election, to proclaim his allegiance to the. political interests which triumphed with ‘him. He can’t be complained ‘of as iiicon- ‘sistent or as betraying any ‘faith he made to the people, and however he may be crit- icised for his policy, he will be respected ‘for his courage. Political government is just what the people of Pennsylvania don’t need .and ‘what the public interests of the State don’t demand. = This great question was fought out in the campaign, and the people voted for just what they have obtained. True, many so voted reluctantly, preferring a Republican of any kind to a Democrat of any kind, but the fact remains that Gov- ernor Stone is giving the people of the State the straight political goods they had every reason to expect. When they want a different government they will vote for it but until then they shounldn’t complain because they received just what they bar- gained for. mr rs tn hte. Carnegie Says It Is Criminal. From a Letter by Andrew Carnegie tothe New York World. ‘‘The ablest administrator yet cast up by the recent war is General’ Wood, of San- tiago fame. He told the congressional committee the other day that 50,000 troops are required for Cuba. This number being necessary because of the climate, for only 35 or 40 per cent will be fdund effective as arule. A day’s active service would cause balf of any military force to drop out. This is the reason Spain needed 228,000 troops in Cuba. The approaching yellow fever season will swell the long death roll. So much for Cuba. gel dh ‘‘Professor Worcester, a member of the Philippine commission, says ‘in his book under thearchipelago; where he resided for’ years: ‘It is unfortunately true that the climate of the Philippines is especially se- vere in its effects on white women and children. It is doubtful in my judgment if successive generations of European or American children’ could be reared’ there. If a man is permanently situated ina good locality where he can get suitable food and good drinking water—if he is scrupulously careful as to his diet; if he avoids excesses of all kinds; if he keeps out of thesun in the middle of the day; if he refrains from long and severe physical exertion, he is likely to remain well always.’ ‘It is to such conditions the President recklessly proposes to expose our soldiers during, the coming summer. An epidemic among the troops is probable in one or both of these foreign lands, and what will the American people have to say to the President then ? Rulers have swung be- fore this—and justly so—for sacrificing a tithe of the lives that the President’s vam- pire imperialism: will probably exact this year. God help the President. Who is there in. all this broad land who would share his responsibility ? And for what, Mr. Editor, for what, only that we may meddle and muddle in other people’s af- fairs—our interference only tolerated in the one case and forcibly resisted in the other? “Rulers have indeed swung for acts causing sacrifice of life much less great and not more necessary than that involved in the President’s policy.’ ——1If you want fine work done of every description the WATCHMAN is the place to have it done.

Adjutant Fair, of the Fifth regiment, came here to muster the men in, but the com- pany lacked about ten of the required fifty- two. After the adjutant reports te head- quarters, orders to disband the company will be sent out and the officers and men dis- charged. The company is, to all intents and purposes, dead, so far as Johnstown is con- cerned, and some other town will be given the opportunity of recruiting the desired number of men. There is still a chance, however, for the Flood city to be represented in the Fifth regiment. After company H disbands, if fifty men can be found willing to form a company, a petition with the fifty names can be forwarded to headquarters asking for a place in the regiment. Then, if there is room for the company, it will be taken in. !
