He is traveling the right road to get there, we don’t think. —The Czar and MARK TWAIN, both being in favor of disarmament, now let us hear from the gentleman who fled to Flori- da to escape the Harrisburg frosts. — The formation of a nail trust is likely to make the joining of Quay’s political coffin a trifle more expensive than it would have been under ordinary circumstances. — Former President HARRISON says that his favorite novel is ‘BEN HUR.”” Prob- ably he likes the name BEN. In the first place it is his own and, secondly, he is a ‘‘has been.”’ —1If we didn’t know it as an official fact it might probably be years before we could discover that Pennsylvania has only one Senator. That is, if the place hunters wouldn’t discover the vacancy to the peo- ple who stay at home. --If it is true that they save everything but the squeal of the dying animals in those big Chicago packing houses; the shaking up some of them have gotten about the quality of their product, ought to make them a little careful about letting even the squeal escape. —LEVI Z. LEITER, JOE's father, made his first money in mining. He invested $50,000 in the famous Iron silver mine, which he had long mistrusted, and came out of the mine with $4,000,000. It is needless to tell you how JOE recently spent several heads of his father’s greeus. —The passengers on that Cheyenne and Northern train that has been snow-bound near Iron Mountain, Wyoming, for three weeks and is likely to remain in its prison of ice for ten days more have probably worn themselves out of voice singing that old refrain “When Summer Comes Again.” —The Spanish red book discloses the fact that our government knew all of Spain’s secret moves, almost before they were conceived.

It has been a noticeable fact, much commented upon, that the Cubans who are now wanting most to say as to the future policy and conduct of their government are the ones who gave nothing more than along distanced sympa- thetic support to the struggle that GARCIA, GoMEZ and the other old warriors carried on at the risk of their lives. ——Our new Ambassador to England, JosepH H. CHOATE, made a great hit with his first public utterance since landing among the Johnnies. At the banquet of the association of the Chambers of Com- merce of the United Kingdom, in London, Wednesday evening, Mr. CHOATE re- sponded to vice president HARPER'S toast ‘‘Our Guests” and, of course, got to talking commerce. It was a commerce banquet, you know. Then he rattled away about the ‘‘open door’ till one could have inferred that President Mec- KINLEY has become the most radical kind of a free trader. At least, if our Ambassa- dor is supposed to be a mouth piece of the administration. — According toan understanding between the President, Post Master General SMITH and Senator PENROSE, on Saturday, the latter will be permitted to control the post office appointments in the ten congressional districts in this State that will be repre- sented by Democrats at the next session. The agreement is merely confirmatory of long established party policy to let the Senators control the ‘‘orphan’’ districts, as those are called that are represented by men of different party from the adminis- tration. It gives to Senator PENROSE, however, the assurance that he will be able to aid QUAY to whatever extent it might be possible through such patronage yet un- dispensed. —Ahout the most nonsensical corpora- tion that we have ever heard of applying ‘or a charter under which to do business is a New York concern that proposes ‘‘to in- struct married women in the art of making home happy.” Women need no such a course of training. They are endowed by nature with such attainments. What is needed, though, is for the married man to show his wife that she is his queen, not his slave, honor her, be her companion, re- member that he is her husband and not some other creature’s ‘‘papa,’’ and there will be no such thing as an unhappy home. Unfortunately, the fault sometimes is with the woman, but the preponderance of it is man’s. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. VOL. 44 BELLEFONTE, PA., MARCH 17, 189 Reform Hopes Disappointed. It seems that after all, all Republicans view public questions through the same lenses and that except on the single matter of the Senatorship there is no difference of opinion among those of that party faith in the Legislature. For example in the House committee on municipal corporations there was considered, on Tuesday evening, a measure in which the friends of good gov- ernment could hardly be separated. It was a bill providing a new charter for the city of Pittsburg. The measure was drawn up by a distinguished lawyer. It was es- sentially non-partisan. It was supported by the unanimous voice of the Municipal league of the city concerned, and was ad- vocated on the floor of the committee by distinguished lawyers, eminent citizens and leading merchants of Pittsburg, irre- spective of ‘politics or religion,’’ to use a hackneyed but appropriate phrase. Its opponents were beneficiaries of an odious municipal ring and such dependants as they could summon to their service. But the vote on the question of affirming or nega- tiving the bill resulted in the raising of party lines and the strict adherence to them on both sides. The regular Republicans, so-called, and the Independent Republi- cans, misnamed, joined forces in behalf of the plunderers, and the questions of reform and the principles of justice and the in- terests of the people were alike sacrificed on the altar of politics. The misgovernment of Pittsburg has been a reproach to the intelligence and in- tegrity of the State for years. It has sub- jected the people of that town to a slavery more debasing and demoralizing than any known to modern history. The corrupt ring has plundered the people in every conceivable manner. The elections have been debauched, the courts corrupted and the people despoiled. The police force has been perverted into an agency for the pro- motion of crime. The highway and other departments have degenerated into medi- ums of conserving the personal interests of the members of the ring. Even theschools have been prostituted into propagandas for the promulgation of corrupt politics and the vicious passions and appetites of the rabble encouraged in order that their ap- peasement might contribute to satiate the cupidity of the venal politicians. These facts were known to the members of the legislative committee who voted adversely on a bill which would have given relief. But the order which came by wire from QUAY to let the plunderers alone moved those of one faction and the personal in- fluence of a leader of the anti-QUAY con- tingent in the Legislature guided the other with the result that the license to plunder has been extended indefinitely. It is an unholy bargain for which the people must pay while the robbers revel. The just expectation of the people of Pittsburg that relief would come to them out of the Republican disagreement in the Legislature has been disappointed and the ancient adage ‘‘when rogues fall out honest men come by their own’’ dishonored. But these results ace not without their uses. They will serve to teach the public that the only way to secure reform is to com- pletely uproot the Republican party. Republicanism and QUAYism are synono- mous terms, so far as this State is concerned and in future, unless there is a change, both in methods and men, all overtures in the direction of fusion should be answered by the Democrats with ‘‘a plague on both your houses.” At the opening of the ses- sion of the Legislature the promise of a combination to organize the House in the interest of just legislation was betrayed and in the vote in committee on the Pittsburg charter, on Tuesday night, the expectation of fairness and honesty in the work of the session was lost forever. There is poor en- couragement in these facts but {the lesson may prove of immense advantage in the end. There will be a day of reckoning and it may be here sooner than some peo- ple expect it. —H. D. MILLER, the Philo, Ohio, man who thought he could corner the egg mar- ket in Pittsburg and drive the price of hen fruit up to $1 per dozen has gone home $20,000 poorer, as a result of having counted his chickens before they were hatched. The whole trouble was that the hens wouldn’t stop laying, after’ MILLER had bought up all the eggs insight, consequent- ly the spell he expected to cast over the market broke. ——That disease is more dangerous than bullets in army life needs for the proof only the Adjutant General’s report that in the entire Spanish-American war, from its be- ginning up to Feb. 28th, only 329 men had been killed in battle and 125 died from wounds received therein, while 5,277 died from disease contracted in the army camps. ——The Legislature of Delaware has ad- journed without having elected a successor to Senator GEORGE GRAY, whose term has expired. The adjournment will at least have the effect of giving J. EDWARD AD- DICK’S'time to generate a new stock of gas before the struggle is begun again. A Word for Our Poor Overseers. The approach of Spring brings with it the garden making that every thrifty prop- erty holder engages himself in. Rich and and poor, alike, if they are possessed of or control a plot of ground find pleasant re- creation and profit in cultivating a garden. Show us the poor man’s home about which bright flowers bloom and weed-free vege- tables thrive and we wili point out to you a man or a woman who will do an honest day’s work for you, if they are employed. There is no indication of an energetic disposition that is any more infallible than the condition of the garden about one’s home and to the man or woman whois anx- ious to get along it is always a source of considerable sustenance. In Bellefonte nearly every poor man or woman lives in a home about which there is some ground which could be made pro- ductive. The percentage of those who try to eke out something for themselves is what we desire to direct the attention of our poor overseers to. If overseers TRAFFORD and EBERHART would compel every person receiving aid from the horough to cultivate a garden of their own, where they have them, what a manifold blessing it would be. In the first place nearly all of them could raise enough tomatoes, cabbage and potatoes to last them for a year; secondly, the exer- cise of it would he beneficial to health; third, where thereare children in such fam- ilies the help they could be called upon to render would have a tendency toward in- culcating habits of thriftiness and, at the same time, keep them off the streets; fourth, in such a way the homes of the poor people would be made more attractive in summer and they could not but expe- rience the ennobling inspiration that the Creator breathes to all through this part of nature. Think about it, Mr. Overseers. We have no desire to ask you to become super- intendents of 4 series of truck farms, but it seems that you could act upon this sug- gestion with credit to yourselves, profit to the taxpayers and helpful kindness to the indolent poor. Where there are persons unable to dig their own gardens, by reason of physical infirmities, you could have some one plow and make ready for them, then they could plant and care for their vegetables them- selves. Especially among the old woman beneficiaries could this be done, for every- one of advanced years knows the genuine pleasure there is to be had in the care of a small garden. No Occasion for Worry. The Philadelphia Times, which is, to say the least, partial to Senator QUAY and friendly to his ambition for re-election, deprecates the possibility of an adjourn- ment of the T.egislature without previously having elected a Senator to represent the State in Congress for the term which began on the 4th instant. ‘‘The leaders of the party responsible for such a result, it de- clares in an admonitory tone of voice, ‘“‘would be overwhelmed at the polls in November.” Moreover it would be a proof of recreancy to duty that could never be condoned, our esteemed contemporary is convinced, and universal execration would be only a just punishment for such a crime. Granting the accuracy of that prediction there is nevertheless no reason why the Democrats in the Legislature should alter their course or change their plans in the premises. The party isnot responsible, di- rectly or indirectly, for the failure of that or any other obligation which rests on the general assembly. With only a trifle more than a third of the membership that party can only exert its best efforts toward pre- venting the enactment of vicious legisla- tion and defeating the election of the worst candidate for Senator. This much would be achieved, even if the day of adjournment came before another bill had reached the Governor or a Senator were chosen. We take pleasure in assuring our es- teemed Philadelphia contemporary, which, by the way, seems to have fallen entirely out of the circuit of Democratic thought, that the Democratic mind of the State is in no way disturbed over the matter in ques- tion. The eighty-seven Democrats who com- prise the force of that faith in the Legisla- ture have disappointed no expectation or betrayed no hope by their course in the senatorial contest. They were com- missioned by their Democratic consti- tuencies to cast their votes for an honorable, capable and fit man to rep- resent the State in the Senate of the United States, and they have fulfilled that expectation ‘‘to the Queen’s taste.” If the Republican party should be scourged at the polls next November and every other November from time to eternity, the Democrats could witness the operation with a reasonable measure of complacency, and we hope the esteemed Times will com- pose its perturbed spirits. ——1In the light of recent events it has become apparent that the Chicago canners can all the beef they can and what they can’t can they embalm. 9. NO. 11. Silk Mills in Pennsylvania. The prosperity of the silk industry in this State has been the subject of com- ment among the people familiar with the subject for a long time, and a prolific source of agitation in certain communities which aspire to engage in the manufacture. Recently a meeting was held in West Chester for the purpose of considering a proposition that has been made to the peo- ple there and some curious statements were made. It seems that the president of a mill in Patterson, N. J., has offered that if the people in the Pennsylvania town will subscribe money enough to erect the plant the New Jersey folks will operate it and engage to not only pay interest on the amount but at the end of thirty years re- pay the principal. To encourage the en- terprise speakers familiar with the subject were sent to give statistics and prove the certainty of the fulfillment of the pledge. Among the speakers were Ex-Senator C. C. KAUFMAN, of Columbia, Pa., and Repre- sentative STAHL, of Altoona. There are mills in both of those towns and the gen- tlemen were supposed to be informed on the question under discussion. Mr. KAUFMAN stated that the mill in his town has “‘been conspicuously successful,’’ and Mr. STAHL declared ‘‘that the mill estab- lished in Altoona in 1892 now employs 800 hands and is now arranging te double its capacity.’” These are interesting facts and no doubt the same measure of success would attend the operation of mills, prop- erly managed, in any other town in the State. In Allentown, the pioneer in the business, and in Scranton, where invest- ments in the industry are largest, the same reports are gathered, and even in Harris- burg and other places where the business is conducted on a more modest scale the same results have been achieved. But while the speakers at the West Chester meeting were enthusiastic over the success of the silk making enterprises in their respective towns and identical in their accounts of the prosperity, they re- frained from even alluding to the causes which produced such gratifying results. The raw material which is used in these mills is grown in China, Japan and Italy and France and if the policy of the party ‘to which the: West Chester speakers belong had been carried out with respect to it, it would have been used there and nowhere else, or at least nowhere in this country. But many years ago raw silk was put on the free list with the result that large quantities of it are imported to this country and consumed in the manufacture of fabrics and now the product of our mills is as good, if not better, than that of any other country in the world. This is the reason for the phenomenal success of silk mills in the United States and if the policy was extended to other raw materials the consequence would be the same. Sycophantic French Journalism. The fact is daily becoming more patent that the French people do not appreciate to the fullest sense the meaning of the word Republic. Of course there has been a large and troublesome royalistic element in France, ever since the downfall of NaA- POLEON, but even that shouldn’t overweigh the freedom and equality that should per- meate the air that all men breathe alike under a republican form of government. The sneering jibes of the French papers at their new President, because his aged mother lives happily and honorably in an humble peasant cottage, about forty miles out of Paris, plainly demonstrates that France and the French people are not broad enough yet in their civilization to comprehend what a government, that knows no creed but God’s creed, no barrier between honest men and no nobler charac- ters than those found in the simple pur- suits of moral life, should be. Had the same snobbish sycophancy di- vided the minds of ‘earlier generations in this country there could have been no WASHINGTON to deliver and free it, no LINCOLN to reunite. All men are God's creatures, free and equal. Those of humble origin the more to be honored when they have achieved greatness, since they have surmounted greatest obstacles. ——The Pittsburg Dispatch very grace- fully lays the blame for the failure of the western portion of the State to be given any of the second-lieutenancies recently allowed Pennsylvania in the army re- organization plan, to the fact that that sec- tion has no Senator in Congress now. The Dispatch views the disappointment very philosophically, but it is none the less likely that MATTHEW STANLEY'S fine Italian hand has figured in the appoint- ments all the same. ——The ground-hog caused just a few flakes of snow to be scatttered about yes- terday, as a reminder that it was his last day’s reign. —They are killing one or two of the boys in blue every day in the Philippines, while we struggle away there, trying to found a government on sand. Quay Would Still be the Dispenser of Patronage. From the New York Evening Post. Revelations of attempted corruption at Harrisburg in the interest of Quay con- tinue to be made, but they produce little effect, on either the Legislature or the general public. Everybody knew that Quay was entirely capable of such tactics, and any disclosures which may be made cannot hurt his standing. Both the boss and his opponents are now considering the probability that the session of the Legisla- ture will end without the election of a Senator. Aft first thought one would con- sider this a serious rebuff for Quay. But his friends maintain that whatever loss of prestige he may suffer will be more ‘than overcome by the help of the federal patron- age which he will have at his command until the next Legislature shall be chosen in the fall of 1900. Quay’s man Penrose is now the sole Senator, and will alone 1ep- resent the Stave during the next two years, if the present Legislature shall adjourn without filling the vacancy in the other seat. It is pointed ont in a Washington dispatch to the Philadelphia Ledger that ‘‘with Senator Penrose alone representing the State in the Senate, Mr. Quay would be powerful in the matter of distributing federal patronage as if he were continued on the roll of that body, for the reason that Senator Penrose, having the exclusive call on the President so far as Pennsylvania is concerned, would not consent to the ap- pointment of any man to a position who was known to be inimical to the return of Mr. Quay to Washington.” The conclu- sion of this Washington observer is as fol- lows: 1 “Failure to elect at this time would, therefore, practically leave Mr. Quay pos- sessed of all the political patronage he has enjoyed under the present administration, and that this would be used to promote his chances for election to the Senate two years hence there can be no doubt. It is ap- parent from the admissions of the Quay leaders at Harrisburg that the man from Beaver is beaten, but unless the Legisla- ture selects another to succeed him before it adjourns, Mr. Quay, although much of his prestige will be destroyed, will retain the power, through a judicious distribution of federal patronage, to recover in 1901 w hat he loses in 1899.” Sold His Heritage for a Mess of Pottage. From the Pittsburg Post. An interesting federal appointment has just been made in Baltimore by President McKinley in naming postmaster Warfield to succeed himself. Mr. Warfield was first appointed by President Cleveland in 1893. In 1896 he opposed Bryan for President, and in reward for his services in helping to carry Maryland for McKinley he was in- dorsed for reappointment by Republican leaders. The nomination was not made by the President, however, until after the adjournment of Congress, because Senator Gorman had given notice that Warfield’s reappointment could not be confirmed so long as he (Gorman) remained in the Sen- ate. We suppose it was all right to reap- point Warfield. He earned the place and got the price, and will be all right for next year. One Congregation Was Satisfied. From the Altoona Times. Rev. Martin L. Ganoe, who has for five years acceptably filled the office of pastor for the First Methodist Episcopal congrega- tion of this city, will now retire from that position in accordance with the discipline of his church. Rev. Ganoe's departure from this place will be attended with gen- eral regret, for in the period in which he has lived here, he has secured for himself a large number of friends who will not for- get him, no matter where he may go. He was one of the very best pastors that the First Methodist congregation ever had, and he also was a prominent and leading citi- zen of the city during his residence in Al- toona. Kipling Interested. It Was his First Experience With the ‘Death Waich” and he Wants No More. NEW YORK, March 14.—Rudyard Kip- ling was feeling well to-night, and asked Mr. Doubleday a number of questions. Mr. Doubleday mentioned the ‘‘death watch’’ which the reporters had kept on Mr. Kipling, using their own, expression. The poet was interested at once, and asked for all details. He said it was his first experience, and would try to avoid a repetition. ‘‘By the way,’’ continued Mr. Double- day, ‘‘they are a little bit slack now that you are getting better. Can’t you do something to stir up a little news for them?’ Mr. Kipling was silent for some mo- ments, and then he replied: ‘I can’t think of anything unless to go through everything again. You can depend upon it I have no wish to do that.’ Since his illness was first made public more than 500 messages of sympathy and expressions of good cheer have been received by Mr. Kipling. Many of these commun- ications are in verse. Mr. Kipling will not consent to the publication of any of these letters. Dr. Dunbam thought to-night that he would permit thesick man to sit up in two or three days more, if the improvement continues. Anxious About the Treaty. Queen Regent Urged to Sign It Regardless of the Cortes. MADRID, March 14.—The Corresponden- cia says the cabinet has advised the queen regent to ratify the treaty of peace with the United States without awaiting the reas- sembling of the cortes. The government denies that the United States has demanded the intervention of the cortes in the ratification of the peace treaty. —If you want fine work done of every description the WATCHMAN is the place to have it done.
