Will Vote Blindly.
You are a Republican. You profess to
be intelligent, honest, frank and indus-
trious. You would feel insulted if anyone
would tell you that you voted blindly.
But are you not doing so when you sup-
port ALLISON or THOMPSON for the Legis-
lature ?
Were you consulted as to the propriety
of nominating either of them? Was your
opinion solicited as to whether they should
be pledged to any particular course, if
elected ? Was your advice asked as to
whether your: party platform should be
silent as to what they should do, or should
promise the public what action could be
expected from them, if successful ? In fact,
were you asked, or expected to know, any-
thing about what your party should do, to
restore harmony ; who its nominees should
be, or what side of any question they
should be required to take?
You have opinions. You have prefer-
ences. You have a vote. Was either your
opinion or your preference asked about the
making of your ticket. Your vote will be
asked to elect it. Is it mot about time
that you know what that vote is to he cast
for, if you do not desire to vote blindly ?
You may be an anti-QUAY Republican.
Do you know that the men whom you are
expected to assist in electing will vote as
you desire on the senatorial question,
or are they the instruments throngh which
Governor HASTINGS might indicate his
wishes ?
You may be a friend and supporter of
Senator QUAY. Have you any assurance,
w hatever, that either of them would not use
every effort in his power to degrade and
defeat him ?
To be fair, do you know anything at all
about what these men, whom your vote is
expected to elect, would do if elected ?
If you do not, are you not voting blindly
and bigotedly? Are you any better than
the man who is led up to the polls and
voted as a boss dictates ?
You are asked to vote for men in whose
nomination you ‘were not allowed a choice.
You should; at-least; be allowed to know
what those you are supposed to elect would
do in matters in which you are interested.
Even this is denied you, and yet youn
call yourself an independent citizen.
Has Uncovered Himself.
If any one had told us that the connec-
tions between the anthracite coal trust
and Mr. McKINLEY'S month piece—Mr.
MARK HANNA—were as close as they have
proven to be, we would not have believed
it.
In his efforts to spare the Republican ad-
ministration the responsibility for labor
strikes Mr. HANNA has demonstrated the
power he has over, and the hold he has up-
on, the great monopolies, the heartlessness
of which is the cause of these troubles.
He has shown that the doors of the ope-
rators, that are barred against committees
of their own workingmen, are open to him.
He has proven that the ears of those that
are deaf to the appeals of their own starved
laborers, listen with patience to ‘sugges-
tions coming from him. He has verified
the fact that corporations look to him for
protection and that from him they are will-
ing to take advice. He has shown where
the power behind these oppressors of labor
is lodged, and has uncovered the undenia-
ble truth that it is to Republican authority
that they look for guidance and encourage- |
ment. ;
These things, the history of Mr. HANNA'S
connection with the anthracite coal strikes
has proven.
They have shown even more. They
have demonstrated that over and above all
other efforts, suggestions, interests and
power Mr. HANNA'S was the only in-
fluence that could reach the combination of
corporations forming the coal trust, and
the only intermediary that was close
enough to or in their confidence sufficient
| to trust in their battles against labor.
And what does this prove ?
Simply that Mr. HANNA is looked upon
and considered as a friend, by these grasping
monopolies. That his interests are identi-
cal with their interests, that his success
is their success, his ticket their ticket and
his triumph their victory.
In this the laboring men can see that a
vote for Mr. HANNA'S party is a vote cast
just as those who are denying them a hear-
ing, as well as a decent living, would have
them cast it.
Chinese Eager For Speedy Peace.
Punishment Ordered of Tuan and All Associated
With Him.—Their Ministers Blamed.—Five Envoys
are Named to Begin Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1—Secretary Hay
returned to the State Department to-day
after more than two months’ absence to
find the Chinese situation in a highly sat-
isfactory shape. Upon his desk was one
cahlegram from Consul McWade,at Canton,
that put him in an eminently good humor,
and another from Minister Conger that
threw just a shade of anxiety upon the
diplomatic outlook. The text of these
dispatches follow :
“Canton, China, Oct. 1st, 1900.
‘‘Secretary of the State, Washington :
‘Decrees just issued : Emperor blames
ministers for whole trouble. Orders Tuan,
Kangi and other officials degraded and
punished by imperial courts. Emperor
holds Tuan and others entirely responsible
for bloodshed. “M’WADE.”
‘Pekin, Sept. 27th, via Taku, Sept. 30.
‘Secretary of State, Washington :
‘‘Have received notice to-day from
Prince Ching that he, Earl Li, Jung Lu
and Viceroys Tin Kun Yi and Chip Tung
will act in concert in nogotiations for peace.
Jung Lu is in the interior. Li Hung
Chang is at Tien Tsin. ““CONGER.”
It is evident that the two viceroys men-
tioned are Liu Kun Yi, of Nankin, and
Chang Chih Tang, of Wu Chang, the dif-
ference in spelling being in telegraphic
transmission. :
The appointment of Jung Lu is not like-
ly to be satisfactory to any of the powers,
as Jung has made himself almost os offen-
sive as-Prince Tuan. He. is:generalissimo
of the imperial troops and is regarded as
mainly responsible for the fight on the le-
gations during the crisis.
Unless that accusation is disproved. and
Jung Lu is shown to be as he claims and
the Chinese government professes, a con-
sistent friend of the legations during the
period of their ordeal of shot and shell the
United States will hardly consent to ac-
cept him as a ‘plenipotentiary to negotiate
a peace arrangement. Jung Lu’s absence
in the interior is said to be a measure of
safety on his part. He does not dare, it 18
also said to show himself in Pekin until
the powers have declared whether he is ac-
ceptable. The other commissioners are
highly acceptable. Earl Li and Prince
Ching are already favorably known, and
the two Viceroys are among the most pacific,
enlightened and pro-foreign men in the
Empire. It is the understanding of Minis-
ter Wu that the Viceroys will not come to
Pekin to take part in fhe negotiations, hut
wlll be consulted by telegraph.
Li Hung Chang’s long stay at Tien Tsin
is exciting some comment, as he is aware
of the American instructions to Minister
Conger to open negotiations with him at
Pekin. It gives the idea that he is not
fully satisfied that the reactionary element
is overcome at Pekin and is awaiting more
positive assurances.
Minister Wa to-night’ received official
confirmation of the issurance of an “imperi’
ial decree degrading Prince Tuan, Kang,
and other officials for their conrse in regard
to. the recent troubles in China. This in-
formation agrees with that contained ina
dispatch received by the State Depart-
ment to-day from Consul McWade at Can-
ton.
"The minister has heard nothing of the
desjguation of officials reported by Minis-
ter Conger to act in concert in peace nego-
tiations, but he has no doubt it is correct.
Forty of the Chinese Killed.
PEKIN, Wednesday, Sept. 26, via Takn,
Saturday, Sept. 26, and Shanghai, Oct.2.
—The German column, consisting of 1,700
men, under General Von Hoopfner, en-
countered a small Boxer force south of the
Imperial Deer park yesterday and killed
forty of the Chinese during a fight which
followed. The Chinese were put to flight
and scattered. Four Germans were
wounded.
Chi Hsin, a member of the Tsung Li Ya-
men of notorious anti-foreign tendencies
and a patron of the Boxers, has been cap-
tured in the Imperial eity by the Japanese
His fate has not been determined upon.
Georgia Goes the Same Old Way.
+ ATLANTA, Ga., -Oct.-.3.—~Reports
all parts of the State tonight indicate that
the Democratic majority in today’s gener-
al election for members of Congress, state
ouses, officers, members of the general as-
sembly and local county officers will be
about 50,000. No opposition developing
against the Democratic nominees except in
a few counties where the populist organiza-
tion is strongest, little interest was taken
in the election.
_ The Democratic state officers elected are:
Governor, Allen D. Chandler; secretary of
state, Phil Cook; attorney general, J. M.
Terrell; somptroliey; George W. A. Wright;
treasurer, R. E. Park; commissioner ol
education, G. R. Glenn; commissioner of
agriculture, O. B. Stevens.
Centre Will Give Hall 500.
From the DuBois Express.
The nomination of Col. A. A. Clearwater
of Wilcox, will transfer the congressional
fight to Elk county, in which region both
the Democratic and Republican candidates
reside and where the battle will be mostly
fought. Elk county will give a rousing
vote for Hall, Clarion county will do the
same, Forest will give a small Republican
majority, while Clearfield and Centre are
unknown quantities. This means the elec-
| tion of Hall by a substantial majority.

Census Total Nearly Ready.
Our Population Is Probably 76,000,000—0fficial Fig -
ures in Three Weeks. Average Gain is 21 Per Cent.
Statistics Will Be Given by States and Will Go In-
to the Details.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—The aggregate
population of the United States will be an-
nounced : officially in:ahout twenty days. |
The statistics of each State will be an- |
nounced in alphabetical order as rapidly
as the count is completed. Arkansas will
be the first State completed and the figures
will be made public tomorrow. Director
Merriam has adopted the plan of making
public the population statistics for each
State complete, accompanying this year’s
returns with the totals according to pre-
vious census enumerations. The statistics
will be given by counties and minor civil
subdivisions, making the statistics for each
State rather voluminous. The population
of each township in a State will be given
according to the returns for this year and
also the figures for the 1890 census. The
classification of figures will extend also to
include wards in all cities under 25,000
population.
An illustration of the array of figures to
be furnished for each State is shown by the
fact that the returns for Arkansas will com-
prise about a dozen quarto pages, which
means that figures for the larger States will
require thirty or forty pages of printed
matter in order to give the county, town-
ship, town and ward population. No com-
parisons will be made in these State re-
turns of the population returns by wards
in cities under 25,000 population with the
ward figures returned hy the census of 1890
such comparisons being confined to cities as
a ‘whole and the towns and counties of
each State. It will require about six
weeks to get out the figures for all the
States.
THE PROBABLE TOTAL.
The census officials have as yet found no
reason for changing their belief that the
aggregate population of the country will
be ahout 76,000,000. As the court pro-
ceeds the officials have ceased making pub- '
lic the total figures or the number of the |
enumeration lists the returns for which |
have been canvassed. Not more than 10,- |
000 of the 54,000 enumeration districts re-
main to be counted. j
The gain in population of the country |
from 1880 to 1890 was about 24 per cent. |
The figures thus far indicate that the gain |
since 1890 will be about 21 per cent. |
The estimate is based upon the probability !
that States of the South and Southwest
have not gained so rapidly as some of the |
industrial States will show gains of 15 to
16 per cent. while the more progressive
industrial States will show gains of ap-
proximately 25 or 26 per cent. f

Paying Out the School Fand.
$1,600,000 Has Been Distributed So Far.
HARRISBURG, Oct 2.—State Treasurer |
Barnett announces that up to to-day he
has paid out $1,600,000 of the school fund !
for the year, which is $300,000 more than |
last year.
Colonel Barnett is preparing for the test
‘case whereby the Lower Providence town- |
ship school directors seek to compel him to '
pay the school fund on the basis of §5,-
500,000 par annum.
Hill on “Imperialism.”
NEW York, Oct. 1.—David B. Hill was
the principal speaker at the Academy of
Music, Brooklyn, to-night, the occasion
: being the opening of the Democratic cam-
‘paign in Kings county.
The hall was
crowded. Mr. Hill said in the course of
his speech :
+ “Without deprecating the question of
trusts, finances, taxation, centralization,
government by injunction, home rule,
economy and other questions worthy of at-
tention, it was believed by the Kansas
City convention that the vital question of
this campaign would be whether our form
of government is to be preserved in all its
simplicity and integrity. It is called in
brief the issue of ‘imperialism.’ In other
words, it is the issue of a republic versus
an empire.’’

Galveston Renews Her Appeal for Help—Total Re-
ceived Aggregates Only $881.043.
GALVESTON, Tex., Oct. 1.—John Seally,
chairman of the finance committe, and cus-
todian of the Galveston relief fund, has is-
sued the following:
“All subscriptions that have been turn-
ed over to me up to and including October
1st, 1900, from all sources, amount to
$881,043. This amount includes all mon-
ey received by me direct, all received by
Mayor W. C. Jones, and also $309,550 re
mitted by Governor Sayers out of subsecrip-
tions made to him. The Governor has also
ordered a further remittance to me of $100, -
000 which should reach me in the next few
days, and he will send me from time to
time such additional funds as he may re-
ceive. We are now arranging in proper
shape a full itemized statement of all re-
ceipts and amounts expended which will be
duly published.”
Apropos of Mr. Seally’s report, the
‘‘News’’ tomorrow will say editorially :
‘The pressing need of Galveston is money,
with which to shelter more than 8,000 per-
sons now homeless, ‘and to make habitable
the homes of many others. Some corres-
pondents have sent out statements that
millions of dollars have been contributed
for the relief of Galveston—one published
statement fixed the amount at $15,000,000.
These statements have led the public—the
generous, liberal public—astray and have
had a tendency to check the impulse to
give, because it seemed that the require-
ments had been met.
‘‘Clara Barton has told the world of the
conditions existing in Galveston, and has
estimated that at least $5,000,000 would be
required to meet the urgent necessaries.
The ‘News,’ supplements her appeal with
the statement that the contributions up to
date aggregate $881,043, and has asked the
Associated Press to spread this statement
to the world in order that the false im-
Jossions might be unauthorized and un-
ounded publications” may be counteracted
so far as it is possible to do so.”’ i

IRVIN GRAY INJURED AT LEWISBURG,
—Irvin Gray, the young farmer and horse
trainer of Stormstown, was badly injured
on the Lewisburg race track Friday morn-
ing.
His horse, Sallie Derby, had won two
heats in the 2.25 race Thursday and‘ Fri:
day it was one of four horses in the final
heat. ' Gray was standing along the track,
opposite the judge’s stand, and as the
horses came down the home stretch
Sally Derby had gained a good lead
in the race. Gray was very much ex-
cited, and as his horse sped under the
wire winner he started aeross the track
towards the judge’s stand, -utterly obliv-
ions of the danger that threatened him
in the two other horses that were bearing
down upon him. The crowd in the grand
stand shrieked in alarm but the next instant
Jobn K., a horse owned by John Hillegas,
struck Gray and knocked him like a foot
ball. The driver of John K., and the
horse alongside-were thrown out in the
mixup that followed but neither drivers or
horses were hart,
Gray was badly trampled and struggled to
regein his feet but could not. Men ran to
his assistance and ~ carried him to the
judge's stand, where he | was. examined
and then carried to his stable, where he
remained until a litter could be secured
to take him to the Sunbury hospital. ~~
At first it was reported. that his injuries
wonld be fatal, but yesterday he was re-
ported to be recovering rapidly. His only
serious injury was the breaking of several
ribs, 2d :

KRUMRINE'S STORE AT STATE COLLEGE
RoBBED.—Early Wednesday morning Mr.
and Mrs. M. 8S. McDowell, who were re-
turning from a drive to Bellefonte, discov-
ered a light in Krumrine’s general store at
State College. As it was known to be an
unusual occurrence Mr. McDowell retarn-
‘ed, after he had taken his wife home, and
wakened the O’Neill boys, who are con-
nected with thestore. They said the light
was unusual, and called John Krumrine.
The quartet decided that there was
something wrong going on and the build-
ing was surrounded. All the while the
burglar was filling his pockets with about
$125 worth of jewelry, including a gold
watch, half a dozen chains, numerous cuff
buttons, etc. When he had loaded up
as much as he could carry he. holted out a
back door and escaped the surrounding
army. One of the O'Neill boys did fire a
load of buckshot after his fleeing form, but
that was the nearest they came to catching
him.
The fellow had gained an entrance to
the store through the cellar.

THE CENTRE COUNTY FAIR.—Centre
county now has a well equipped fair, fully
organized and on the 16th, 17th, 18th and
19th of October the first Centre county fair
on the new fair grounds, at Bellefonte, will
be held. A wide-spread desire for the re-
establishment of the Centre County Fair
on a broad basis has at last materialized,
and within the space of the few short
months since last spring new grounds
of surpassing natural beauty have been ac-
quired, the course of Spring creek has been
changed, a splendid half mile race track
