Among the names of members of the Legislature elect, given out by the Inde- pendent Republicans, as against QUAY are those of ALLISON and THOMPSON, of this county. In lining these new men up on their side the ‘‘Insurgents’’ are correct, providing they can depend upon ex-Gover- nor HASTINGS being with them. It is this that makes the only doubt in the question. Governor HASTINGS has been on both sides of the QUAY question frequently. He has been for him warmly and he has been against him bitterly. Where he will be this time, when the forces meet, will de- cide where the support of the two Mem- bers from this county will go. Both men are pledged to vote and work as the ex-Governor desires. ALLISON would do this, pledged or unpledged, on account of personal relations and a long standing friendship. His inclinations are against QUAY, but it is not these that will control his actions. He goes to Harrishurg at the request of and to serve the ex-Governor. With THOMPSON it is different. His as- sociations and tendencies are the other way. He has promised scores of people that he will support QUAY, and he will if he dares, but he 1s ambitious and has sense enough to know that that ambition will amount to nothing if he fails to do as ex- Governor HASTINGS demands. He has al- ready the re-nominationand senatorial hee, both, in his bonnes, and with HASTINGS against him, as he would be, should he fail to heed his every request, he knows he would have no hope of ever getting on another ticket in this county, and thas if he did, that he would meet the same fate that befell his fellow townsman PHIL ‘WOMELSDORF. The result of the late campaign has giv- en ex-Governor HASTINGS the absolute and -andisputed control of the Republican party in this county. What he will order here- after will be done. The candidates he ¢hooses will be nominated. The men who are for him and do his bidding will be put to the front. THOMPSON knows and un- derstands. this, and for this reason will act, even against his own inclinations and the promises he has made, to hold HASTINGS support in the future. It is easy then to understand why the Independents must look to ex-Governor HASTINGS. As he says the Centre county Members will vote. It is he that may need looking after, and upon him influence may have to be brought to stiffen his back bone and keep him in line with the other Insurgents. A Fitting Representative. Secretary HAY, it is now rumored, is to be Mr. McKINLEY’S new plenipotentiary at the court of St. James. This would be au exceedingly appropriate and representa- tive appointment. An administration that hauled down the American flag in Alaska at the behest of Great Britain ; that ceded great tracts of American territory to that country to satisfy the demands of its rep- resentatives ; that attempted to place the eontrol of the proposed Isthmian canal in the hands of the British authorities ; that submitted, without complaints to the rifl- ing of American mails at Pretoria ; that gave the power of its influence and sympa- thy to overturn the struggling Republics of South Africa to win English applause ; that partitioned the Samoan islands to suit the wishes of Lord PAUNCEFOTE, and which has toadied to every movement and submit- ted to every demand of that government, needs a flunkey and a sychophant at the court of St. James. Aud Secretary HAY is just that man. No other American would fit as well there at this time, as he will. We have just voted to endorse an administration that is willing to sit under the tail of the British lion, though it bhefoul us beyond recognition, and we know of no American citizen who will represent the subservien- ey, the cowardice and the servility of that administration as faithfully and as willing- ly as the present Secretary of State. It Looked Suspicious, At Least. Representative-elect JonN K. THoMP- 80N, of Philipsburg, paid his first post- election visit to Bellefonte on Wednesday. Of course he had much to be grateful for and was lavish in the expression of his gratitude to the people who-pulled him through, but those. of the anti-QuAvites who saw Judge Love buzzing around the new Member in the Bush house that even- ing started guessing, if nothing more. Our Honorable Court is said to have been inspired with a belated notion that it is unbecoming a judge to take a part in political contests and remained oblivious to the work in the North ward on Tues- day, but it was apparent to everyone that he wasn’t oblivious to the fact that THOMP- SON will be an iuteresting fellow, when the Assembly convenes in January. A physiognomist would have said that THOMPSON was in a very receptive mood on Wednesday evening. He smiled when the Judge whispered in his ear and as his smile broadened into grins of approbation at what he was hearing the faces of a few HASTINGS people. who were waiting their turn to buzz under his fringe, grew to the length of the moral law. a a to oa ma A The Days of Dishonest Dollars. Have you ever sat down and calculated the value of the dollar you have now un- der a Republican administration, as com- pared with its value four years ago? : If you haven’t do so. It will open your eyes to something. It will show you that your money today is of less value to you than when you heard so much about an “honest dollar’’ aod a ‘‘fifty cent dollar’’, and all that fool nonsense. To you and to nine-tenths of the people ‘the value of your money must be measured by the amount it will procure of that which you need. A dollar that will buy you cight pounds of beet is worth more to you than one that will buy vou but a six pound cus." Four years ago the dollar that was de- nounced as dishonest money; as represent- ing but fifty cents iu value, would buy you 20 pounds of sugar. The same dollar to- day, or any other dollar that this Republi- can administration furnishes for yonr ute, will buy you but 15 pounds of the same sugar. It is the same when measured by any other article that your needs demand. What then would your calculations show ? Simply this, that if there ever was such a thing as a 50 cent dollar four years ago, that same piece of money, under the blessings aud benefits of Republican rule, is now but a 37} cent dollar. And further, that if this government ever had a cheap, or dishonest dollar in it, it is now and when those claiming to be the ‘‘honest money’’ party have complete con- trol of the finances of the country. See if you can figure it otherwise. Get Off that Long Face. We cannot see any reason why Demo- crats should appear woe-begone and look as if the end had come. We have all been at the same place before; down, tramped on and crowed over. We've been licked a thunder’in sight barder, and lived and for- got it. Only four years ago, McKINLEY carried the country with a popular vote that beat his victory of the 6th inst., by over a balf million. Pennsylvania gave . him forty thousand and more votes the first time he ran than it did last week. x In 1896 we elected hut two Democratic Congressmen in this State; this year we doubled that number and will have four in the next Congress. When the returns. were all in four years | ago we had but six members of the State Senate. This year we have fourteen. To the Legislature of that year we elected but thirty-three Democratic Members; this year we succeeded in getting forty-nine, Don’t these facts, which most of you have over-looked, make it look as if we bad suf- fered worse defeats than that of last week ? And yet we lived and got over them. We grew hopeful and confident. We rallied the old party, under the old flag and’ we gave our opponents a rattling good fight. It will be soagain. We are neither dead. nor are we hurt as badly as we imagine. Every thing will come right and our ‘‘goose will hang high” some of these days. Remember this, and don’t look and feel as if the earth has noth ing more for you, and as if there is to be no resurrection. Our day is coming and its not so very long ahead either. ——The Philadelphia Evening Call made an assignment and ceased publication on Wednesday evening. It has liabitities amounting to -$25,000.

Real Winter Weather. Qereral Snow In South Dakota—Blizzard in Wiseon- sin. DEADWOOD, S. D., November 14.—The worst storm of the winter began this morn- ing with a general snow and a mist. Re- .ports from all surrounding towns and min- ing camps state that the storm is general. On the prairies north'and west the wind is blowing fiercely and the snow is blinding. The thermometer bas fallen thirty degrees since morning and ib is growing colder rapidly to-night. The storm is severest in the mountains west of this city, where the snow is already two feet deep.

Trusts Send Prices Up. Nearly Every Necessity of Life Raised in Price, While Wages of Workers are Redwced. The Many Millions Spent to Re-Elect McKinley to be Made Up in the Next Few Months. Since election the Meat Trust has made a flat advance of one cent per pound on beef, pork and mutton. As this means an ‘increase of 10 per cent on the price of meat in carcass it amounts to a much larger per. cent of increase to the consumer, the. waste in carcass doubling the cost of the salable portion. The increase means a $39,000,- 000 addition to the yearly profits of the trust. REDUCING WAGES. In Altoona puddlers have been reduced 75 cents a ton, and finishers, muck rollers and other laborers 8 per cent. At several iron centres in the eastern part of the State reductions in wages have been announced within the past day or two. The bi-monthly wage settlement be- tween the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers and the labor bureau of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, the National Steel Company and the Federal Steel Company, to be held at Youngstown, Ohio, within a day or two, is expected to reduce wages of puddlers from 50 to 75 cents a ton and other labor in iron mills from 4 to 6 per cent. The National Steel Company . yesterday submitted a scale of prices to its emplovees at Mingo Junction, Ohio, making reduc- tions in wages of from 20 to 60 per cent and including a twelve hour working day. RICE AND SALT CORNERED. In line with the rest comes the Coal Trust merrily along, announcing an ad- vance of 50 and 75 cents a ton at the mines including the coal delivered to miners, as ‘well as to others. Monday morning the Nacional Sak Com- pany put up the price of common table result of the election in this State. salt of a fair quality to $2.50 per one hun- dred pounds. The price before was $1.10 per hundred for the same grade. The National Salt Company controls di- rectly 95 per cent of the salt output of the country and is able indirectly to dominate Rice, which has heretofore escaped the list of monopoly governed articles, is now to be provided for by the American Rice Growers’ Distributing Company, which has just been incorporated with a capital stock of $15,000,000. Local dealers prophesy a raise of from one to twa cents per pound in consequence. Ls 3 ———————————— Beckham's Election Conceded. Both Reupblicans and Democrats Will be Repre- sented at Canvass of the Vote. FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 13.—The state election hoard will meet Dec. 31d to can- vass the returns and officially declare the While the Republicans have formally conceded the élection of Beckham as Governor and announced that there would be no contest, the remaining 5 per cent of the production. both Republicans and Democrats will be represented by counsel at the canvass of the vote. Every phase of the election will be closely watched by both sides, as mat- ters may arise which will have a bearing on the contests for Congressmen in two | districts—the Third and Ninth. Governor-elect Beckham will be inaugu- rated Dec. 11th. It is said that one of the first official papers Governor-elect Durban, of Indiana, will have to consider when he takes office will be a requisition from Gov- ernor Beckham for the return of former Governor Taylor and ex-Secretary of State Finley to this State for trial. Leading Republicans claim to have assurances from Indiana Republican leaders that Mr. Dur- han will follow the precedent set by Gov- ernor Mount in these cases and will refuse to honor the requisition.. Army of 106,000. That is Believed to be the Number That the War Department Favors. WASHINGTON, Nov.12—In response to request from the War Department, the gen- eral officers of thearmy in the Philippines have submitted estimates as to number of ii men that will be required in the archipel- ‘aga for ‘the ‘next year or so, and in each case the officer says that the forces shonld not be rednced, as, even with the guerilla bands now forming the so-called insurgent army, it will be necessary to retain a large number of men for prudential reasons un- til order has been thoroughly established. These estimates have given the military authorities their cue as to the recommen- dations to be submitted to Congress a$ its coming session in regard to the size of the military establishment. While Secretary Root has not determined the exact charac- ter of his recommendation, ib is the under- standing among these so situated as to have knowledge on the subject thas, the War Department will favor the formation of an army of about 106,000 men. The de- sire is to have this number in the perma- nent establishment and to do away with the present volunteer army of 50,000, which, by the provisions of the act of Con- gress creating it, must be mustered out on or before June 30th, 1901. Lieutenant General Miles has prepared a plau for the organization of a regular army on the basis of one man for each 1,000 of population, thus providing a force of 76,- 000, the figures of the census taken this year being used. In order, however, to provide for ‘sufficient artillerymen to per- mit one daily relief on the coast defense fortifications, he favors the enlistment of an additional 9,000 men, thus making a regu- lar force of 85,000, or thirty regiments of in- fantry, twelve regiments of cavalry and a corps of artillery. This plan is not favor- ed by the War Department proper,although no definate conclusion as to the size of the army to be recommended has yet heen reached. Just before Secretary Root left Washing- ton on Friday he received full memoranda of information and snggestions which had personally outlined, and it is said that these point conclusively to the determin- ation that the Secretary believes that an army fully as large as that now in service, regular and volunteer, is necessary for all purposes. Mr. Root took these memoranda with him to Cuba and will consider them on his trip. When he returns he will prob- ably have reached conclusions and embodi- edthem in the annual report which he will present to President McKinley before Con- gress assembles. . Every assistance has been promised Gen- eral MacArthur hy the government in sup- pressing the Tagal insurrection, and, as he believes that all his present force is nec- essary to that end, any suggestion that the army be reduced will probably be opposed strongly by the administration. In tele- graphing General MacArthur in effect that ‘‘the President expects you to bring the insurrection to a successful termination,”’ the Secretary of War said also that no orders interfering with Gen. MacArthur's plan of campaign would he sent from || Washington, and it is, therefore, apparent that the executive government will sup-' port Gen. MacArthur in his desire to re- tain a large force of men. Senator Proctor, of Vermont. member of the committee on military affairs, came here on Saturday expecting to meet Sec- retary Root and discuss with him the leg- islative aspects of the army organization. He will have a conference with Mr. Root as soon as the latter returns from Cuba. Agreement by Foreign Envoys. Record of Terms that Will be Pressed Upon China as Basis for Treaty. Indemnity Shall be Paid. LONDON, Nov. 13—Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times from Pekin on Sunday says: *‘Pressed by a common desire for the speedy termination of present conditions, the foreign envoys have finally agreed to the following terms, to be presented in a conjoint note, which, subject to the ap- proval of the governments, will be pressed upon: China as the basis of ‘a preliminary treaty : **China shall erect a monument to Baron Von Ketteler on the site where he was murdered and send. an imperial prince to and officials already named and suspend provincial examinations for five years where the outrages occurred. In the future’ all officials failing to prevent anti-foreign oatrages will be dismissed and punished.’’ (Thisis a modification of Minister Con- ger’s proposal.) = = ’ g “Indemnity shall be paid to the states, corporations and individuals. ' The Tsung Li Yamen shall be abolished and its func- ‘tions vested in a foreign minister. Rational intercourse shall be permitted with the Emperor as in civilized countries. “The forts at Taku and the other forts on the coast of Chi Li shall be razed and the importation of arms and war materials prohibited. = Permanent legation guards shall be maintained and also guards of communication between Pekin and the sea. “Imperial proclamations shall be posted for two years throughout the Empire, sup- pressing Boxers. . _ So ‘“The indemnity is to include compen- sation for Chinese who suffered through being employed by foreigners, hut not words missionary and Chaistian do not occur in the note.” Figs Can be Grown in the North. ‘A correspondent inquires how far north the fig will mature in the open air ? There seems no reason why the fruit will not. mature to an indifinite distance north- ward. It is rather a question of the pro- tection of the tree from injury in the win- ter, than of ripening the fruit. The wood is usually killed to the ground north of the Potomac, but the branches are easily protected by bending down and covering with earth, as is often done with rasp- berries, roses, aud other things. "It is very easily done. In the vicinity of Philadel- phia trees bear profusely this way, and are among the most satisfactory of fruits in an amateur’s garden. They bear several Srope a year, and fruit can generally be had from the trees at any time during the season. ! toni The Old Precedent is Broken.

It takes the breath away to realize the extent of the immense additions made by the millionaire operators to their great for- tunes by the recent boom in stocks. For instance, Standard Oil stock went up last week from $630 per share on Monday to “$700 per share on. Saturday. Mr. Rock- efeller’s 310,000 shares of Standard Oil ‘stock were, therefore, worth on Monday,at the market price $195,300,000, and they were worth on Saturday night $217,000,000 making a profit in four market days (Tuaes- day being a holiday) of $21,700,000. Since March 15th, of this year the Standard has declared three dividends aggregating $38,- 000,000 on its $97,500,000 of outstanding stock. A Wall street bulletin says: “In the past eighteen years, inclusive of the current year, the Standard Oil Company has paid something like $222,250,000 in dividends. A comparative table is inter- esting. It shows, from 1882to 1881, the company paid dividends of 5} per cent amounting to $47,250,000; 1891 to 1885, dividends at 12 per cent, $48,000,000; 1896 dividends at 31 per cent, $31,000,000; 1897 dividends at 33 per cent, $33,000,000; 1898 dividends at 30 per cent, $30,000,000; 1899 dividends at 33 per cent, $33,000,000; esti- mated this year, 48 cents, or $48,000,000." The same authority puts Mr. Rockefeller’s dividends at the present rate of deolaring them, on Standard stock, at $10,666,000 annnally. This does not consider such an item as the increased value of his holdings last week to the extent of over twenty one millions of dollars. No wonder there was something pathetic in the idea of all this being cut down by Bryan’s election. It called for presidential interference. Real Estate Transfers.

J. Tissot, one of the world’s famed and richest artists, gave up his palatial homes in London and Paris to become a pilgrim in the Holy Land that he might be able to picture the earthly life of Christ. He was there ten years studying, observing, medi- tating and believing, and the five hundred pictures that he painted during tbat time are the acknowledged art achievement of the century. The original pictures were purchased by the Brooklyn art institute for $60,000, but the authorized reproduc- tion of them, identical in color and detail, will be given in the court house, Wednes- day evening, Nov. 2lst. : "The pictures will be shown by means of an electro-stereopticon, upon a screen con- taining 300 square feet, accompanied by an interesting descriptive lecture by Prof. William Clark, of London, Eng. They will be exhibited here for the benefit of the compensation for native Christians, The} poy jken Memorial Hall and if you would spend a pleasant evening, as wellas a profit- able one, see them.

As regards his legislative honors, Mr, Allison can well say with Malrolio, ‘‘Some are born great, some achieve greatness. and some have greatness thrust upon them '' About the only office Mr. Allison ever cared or cares for is the office in his large milling establishment. A very fascinating young lady, but ex- ‘tremely youthful, entered the residence of merchant G. H. Long on Sunday morning last, and boldly demanded in tones not easily to be misunderstood, that she required every possible attention, and expected to re- main with the family some time. Of course this peremptory demand was quietly acceded to by Mr. Long, who, by the way, since the advent, is as gay and happy as a huge sun- | flower.
