DANIEL HARTMAN HASTINGS can scarcely be accused of being stuck on being him- self. —TaoMPsON should get a jobasa fire eater with some show. If he could swal- ‘low that dose on Tuesday he is certainly worth a good bit of money to some freak manager. —The great steel strike is still unsettled and the army of workers about Pittsburg are having ample opportunity to discover how much their demands really do amount to when the wishes of plutocrats also find expression. —Though ToMMY MITCHELL was in Eu- . rope DAN dug up another secretary who seemed to be as dexterous with his] digits * as was the secretary of the notorious con- _vention in which the former Governor sat as ToM TAYLOR'S proxy. —JACK DALE'S first night with the new gang didn’t turn out very well. A HASTING’S kissing bug canght himfon the eye and Wednesday morning he started oft “to Atlantic City with one of his lamps swelled clean out of business. —Mr. BRYAN is still a much talked about man, notwithstanding his statement that he is not a candidate for any office. It is not to be wondered at, however, that he is so much talked abont, because he is a wonderfully brainy man and makes himself felt every where. —OIld RoGER BROUSE, the last of the Mohickens, staid out entirely, because he thinks there is still use of tinkering with that old over-seer of the poor clock. §Why, bless your dear soul, ROGER, go in for all you can get, we'll fix your clock for you next February anyhow. —HowARD HoLzworTH, the Union- ville diplomat, who tampered with WiL- LIAM WOODRING, of Worth township, once when it was necessary for DAN’S good, was on hand on Tuesday, but we failed to see JM WATT, the Tyrone steerer, who is usually looked up to fix Ferguson town- ship. —With RoBERT E. PATTISON at the head of the Democratic organization in Philadelphia there is every reason for the country Democracy to take heart. If there is any hope for the rotten old hulk in that city PATTISON will remodel it and steer ib into the clear waters where it once met an with an occasional success. : —Secretary of Agriculture JOHN HAM- ILTON might have been sent up here to do what he did, but we think he came because his conscience told him to. You know he is such a conscientious gentleman. It was his conscience that prompted him to leave the deputy Secretaryship and HASTINGS for the Secretaryship and QUAY. —JoHN LuMBAGO THOMPSON'S threat to bring suit against DAN for libel would make a very pretty case in court, especial- ly if he conld back up the story that REED- ER carried $10,000 over to Philipsburg with which to buy him, He cost more than ten, however, and that is probably the reason that the other fellows are so mad. —SAMMY BENNISON didn’t look as if he enjoyed the job of being ‘‘It”” near as much as JouN C. MILLER did when he was ‘'It.”’ The captain got quite pale once and came near losing his balance pole while trying to keep his one eye on HAsTINGS and his other on REEDER. They seemed to have very little consideration for him or they would have kept closer together and not necessitated such a strain on his optics. —1It was awful nice in Judge LOVE to tell the boys not to jump over the benches and punch ABE HASTINGS, if he said any- thing mean. Rumor has it that they were ready to do so upon the first provocation and as there is no doubt of the provoca- tions having been there,long and often, they must have held themseves in leash because it would have been too bad to have spoil- ed the furniture in the Judge’s nice court room. —Based upon the belief that there is still some manhood, some desire to appear before the world as something more than mere puppets, left in the Republicans of Centre county, the WATCHMAN makes the prediction that DANIEL HARTMAN HAST- _1NGs has dominated the last convention of that party in this county for some years. There comes a time when men cannot be cajoled into blind obedience or ‘bought in herds like cattle and we believe that that time has come in the history of Re- publican politics in this county. —Prof. Lupwi¢ MARIENBURGER Ph. D., of the University of Berlin, says that the earth has a case of locomotor ataxia and is getting nearer the sun every summer and further away every winter and that ac- counts for the excessive hot and cold weath- er periods we have been having of re- cent years. According to this theory it will only be a question of time until we will all be either frozen or roasted to death. Had our | ancestors. only lived to see this day they would have come to the con- ‘clusion that Nature is going back to the old country school idea of roasting our bellies and freezing our backs. STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. A. VOL. 46 A Chance for the Philadelphia Dem-= ocracy. If the individuals claiming to be Demo- crats and who have lately made a move- ment to reorganize the Democracy of Phil- adelphia were half as much in earnest in the interest of the party as they appear to be in their effort to get control of the or- ganization, more faith could be put in their pretense and more hope for harmony would grow out of this work. Itis with- out question that the Philadelphia Democ- racy is without standing in the State, with- out the sympathy of any one, and have either the respect nor confidence of either friends or enemies. Ithascome to this con- dition through its trading withthe different factions of the Republicans and its betray- al of Democratic principles, as well as from neglect on the part of the substantial men of the party to take that interest in party affairs that all good citizens should. It is not the fanlt alone of either side, but is chargeable to both. Neither have shown themselves worthy of trust and neither will be trusted until by their ac- tions they prove themselves worthy of it. For years’ past the GORDON-MCALEER element of the party has made no effort to conceal the fact that its principal work has been to reduce the Democratic votes in or- der to discredit the organization that it was unable to control. To offset this kind of work on the part of pretended Democrats, those held responsible for re- sults entered into trades with factions of the Republican party and the result has been the crucifixion of Democracy in that city. Within the past few days conditions have been brought about that promise the regeneration of the party in Philadelphia, if there is any honesty in pretenses or honor in men. Mr. Chas. DONNELLY, the much decried, and to a very great extent un- justly abused head of the regular or- ganization, has had the manliness to step down and out and the committee over which he presided has exercised the good judgment of selecting as his successor the one man in Pennsylvania in whom every Democrat bas the utmost confidence—Ex- Governor ROBERT E. PATTISON. His election and his aceeptance of the ‘position is.aguarantee to every Democrat that there is to Be a rehabilitation of the party in tht city, a revival of interest in party welfare, and an honest effort put forth ‘to imorease and poll the Democratic vote. With him at the head, exercising the power given him under the rules through which his organization exists, there can be no question as to the character of the work his committee will do or the honesty of purpose with which it will enter the cam- paign. If those who were organizing against the old order of things in Philadelphia were in earnest in their professed zeal for the Democratic cause they will devote their ‘effort now to harmonizing their differences, and building up a party that can be relied upon—a party that will be a credit to the city and that will give hope and enconrage- ment to the Democracy of the State. If they are not they will go ahead in trying to create a self appointed committee, and continue the divisions that have brought distrust, disgrace and demoralization to the Democracy of that city. — Tuesday was too busy a day for farmers to take any stock in the Hastings Reeder convention. The job of playing delegate was left for the few fellows who are willing to come to town whenever the ex-Governor demands, and are satisfied with a pat on the back for doing his bidding. Minus these political flunkeys there would have been no convention, and no boss’ ticket to receive a good licking. —— Wait Until Conditions are { Right. The fusion movement that Blair county Democrats started out so ostentatiously to ‘boom a week or so ago seems to have met with a rather chill reception in the county conventions that have been held since. The Democrats of almost half the counties in the State have already placed their tickets in nomination and chosen their delegates to the state convention, and in bus two of them has it been ‘deemed wise to instruct their delegates to support a fusion ticket. The most of the Democrats we have heard express themselves upon this subject feel, as does the WATCHMAN, that fusion can only be made effective where there are or- ganized bodies to enter into the arrange- ment. There are none such now. Next fall, when a Legislature is to be elected and large tickets will be in the field, in every county in the State, the situation will be very different, and a union of all the voters opposed to the state ring might be made very effective. There would be chances then to give and take that are not now in sight, and there will then be reasons for ‘Independent Republicans joining hands with the Democracy that can not be used in the present campaign. In this line the drift of public sentiment is‘all right, bus Better there is no sense in spoiling a ‘good shiny by premature action. Ha m1 : | mand the necessary support. Admiral Schley’'s Blunder. Last week we observed that new develop- ments in the SAMPSON-SCHLEY controversy indicated a conspiracy to provoke Admiral ScHLEY into asking for a court of inquiry concerning the matter. We were led to that conclusion by the actions of Secretary of the Navy LoNG. ‘‘If SCHLEY asks fora court of inquiry.” he said; in a published interview, *‘I will appoint Admiral DEWEY and Rear Admirals So-and-So as members of the court. Such a court would be abso- lutely just and impartial. DEWEY bas shown not only that he isa man of the highest honor, but well equipped in mental temperament to conduct such an investiga- tion.” SCHLEY grabbed at the bait with the greatest eagerness. All he wanted was fair play and here was his chance to get it. Nobody could tamper with Admiral DEWEY and Rear Admiral So-and-So and Rear Ad- miral Thingumbob. Therefore he asked for the court of inquiry. There is where the hero of Santiago made the blunder of his life. Of course the Ad- miral of the Navy and the two Rear Ad- mirals above referred to are all that has been said about them with respect to honor and probity of character. If they had been appointed with freedom to make a search- ing and exhaustive investigation of the questions in dispute SCHLEY would have had a fair trial and a just verdict and if he is innocent, as we believe he is, a splendid vindication. But no such thing will hap- pen. In the Secretary of the Navy's state- ment to the court every slander which has been uttered against SCHLEY during the two years last past, is repeated as if there was no doubt of its truth, and the court is directed to conduct the inquiry along those lines and taking the records of the Department, which have been cooked up to convict SCHLEY, as corroborative evidence. Bat SCHLEY has asked for the court of inquiry and though the pledge of honest men to compose the tribunal has been ful- filled the conditions are such that it will be impossible to prevent the verdict of guilty, unless the ‘‘gentlemen of the court’ protest to the limit of insubordination the moment the fraud becomes apparent. If that is done SCHLEY might get an honest: verdict and a magnificent vindication. But he will have the malice of the bureaucrats of the Navy Departnient to fight at every: step of the road to the triumph which he deserves. It will be a glorious victory when it is achieved, to be sure, but if it is not achieved it will be because of the perjury of witnesses and the subornating of perjury by some who are very close to the President, which can be proven to exist by the records of the Department. But the public will know and whether the verdict acquits or convicts the public is satisfied as to who was the hero of Santiago. Tne Paramount Duty. The certainty that Justice POTTER, the first member of the Supreme court bench to bring reproach on that tribunal since its creation more than a hundred years ago, will be nominated by the Republican con- venfion to succeed himself, increases the responsibility which devolves on the Dem- ocratic state convention, which meets in Harrisburg a week from next Thursday. While the question of the constitutionality of the vicious ‘‘ripper’’ legislation, enacted during the recent session of the General Assembly, was pending before the court POTTER, who was appointed to the office by STONE, ‘‘electioneered’”” among his asso- ciates in behalf of a palpably absurh de- cision and informed the Governor at inter- vals of the result of his several canvasses. One of the judges of the Supreme court of the United States said that a justice guilty of such an outrageous performance ‘onght to be impeached if his identity was discovered and the entire court deserved snoh punishment if the innocent justices didn’t compel the guilty one to reveal ‘himself. ‘An eminent Philadelphia lawyer, in commenting on the incident, said that it was an atrocity unparalleled in the history of American jurisprudence. Yet the QUAY machine has determined to nominate the author of the outrage after his identity has been clearly established for election for a fall term. The man who has brought such ‘disgrace and shame on the body during the brief time he has occupied the seat under an executive appointment is to be vindicat- ed by election. Among the Democratic lawyers of Penn- sylvania there 18 plenty of material from which to select a candidate who will be certain to command a majority of the votes of the State against such a candidate of the dominant party as Justice POTTER. The lawyers of the State who revere the splen- ‘did traditions of the Supreme hench will forget their politics when they are brought to the choice of voting for an able and hon- orable jurist or a petty-fogging lawyer, whose sense of propriety is so dulled as to not realize that he was committing an unpardonable crime when he was serving his equally ignorant master. But the Demo- cratic convention must be equal to the oc- ( _casion. The convention on the 15th in- stant must have the courage and character to nominate a candidate who will com- i On Saturday evening just before starting on another vacation Governor STONE pub- licly announced the names of the gentle- men who will compose the capital building Commission. They are in addition to bim- self, whom the law designated as ex-officio a member and president of the Commission, W. H. GRAHAM, of Allegheny city, now a’ Representative in Congress and successor to Governor STONE in the seat ; Dr. N. C. SCHAEFFER, of Lancaster, Superintendent of Public Instruction ; Mr. EDWARD BATL- ‘EY, of Harrisburg, president of the traction company, the Harrisburg National bank, the Harrisburg Trust company and connect-- ed with various other companies and busi- nesses ; and Dr. WM. P. SNYDER, Senator. in the Legislature for Chester county and during the last two sessions, president pro tem of the body. It was announced some time ago that the Governor would name practical men of high character for this Commission. The only building of which they have ever had any practical knowledge is building Re- publican majorities by fair means or fraud. But they have no knowledge of building edifices or of the materials used in them and their appointment to service on such a Commission is an insult to the intelligence of Pennsylvania. SNYDER, if is true, was a member of the Commission which superin- tended the building on the Buffalo exposi- tion grounds known as the Pennsylvania building, which was erected at an expense of about $2,500 and charged up to the State at $16,000 or more. If he will employ the same ratio of spoliation to the proposed four million structure his friends will be well oft when it is completed. Candor and justice combines to compel the statement that neither we nor anyone else, so far as our observation goes, believes for a moment that either of the gentlemen named will steal a penny of the State’s funds. But they will close their eyes whenever others are engaged in the robbery as long as a fair proportion of the loot goes into the treasury of the Republican cam- paign committee. No doubt that is what they were appointed for, however, for a Governor who will put his incompetent cronies on the bench of the Supreme court in otder that he may learn the secrets of ‘the tribunal will: do about anything else that is wanted of him. But the appoint- ment in question fulfills our expectations. It will probably result in the erection of a $2,000,000 building at a cost of $4,000,000 at first and an indefinite amount later. —————————_———— A Bungling Financier. While the question of reducing the war taxes was under consideration during the last session of Congress Mr. RICHARDSON, of Tennessee, leader of the Democratic membership, insisted on a cut of $75,000,- 000 and held that even a greater reduction might safely be made. The surplus reve- nue for the then current year amounted to $80,000,000 and Mr. RICHARDSON figured that the falling off for this year as compar- ed to last would be comparitively trifling. There might be a decrease of $10,000,000 or so he said in substance, but the war in the Philippines will be ended before the expiration of the year and the decrease in expense would almost equal the diminu- tion in revenues. Secretary of the Treasury GAGE nearly went into a conniption fit when the report of RICHARDSON’S statement reached him. He was ready to admit that he was the only really able financier in the country and offered to stake his reputation on the assertion that if the revenues were dimin- ished a penny more than $30,000,000 there would be a vast deficit at the end of the present fiscal year and the country would be lacky to escape bankruptey. The President and others of the White House clique added their opinions to that of GAGE and succeeded in dragooning Con- gress into limiting the reduction to about $40,000,000. Rather than to defeav re- duction altogether the Democrats accepted that much. : Now we are beginning to find out who was right in the matter of estimates. As we have said the surplus for the last year amonnted to upward of $80,000,000 and the surplus is piled up in the treasury while the zountry is threatened with a currency famine in the channels of com- merce. But that is not the worst of if. The receipts thus far on the present year show no falling off and as it has been de- cided to greatly reduce the strength of the army in the. Philippines at once, the in- dications now are that the surplus this year will be greater than last. Of course the cursory observer will see no harm in a full treasury. But as a matter of fact there is the greatest danger in it, for it needlessly draws money out of the pockets | of the people and encourages ‘profligacy in expenditures.: The wise statesman limits the revenues to the necessary ‘expenditures and takes nothing froni the earnings of the citizen, beyond the sums that are actually necessary ‘to the preservation of. govern- meat THN. af : ~ BELLEFONTE, PA.

From the New York World. ; The number of pensioners added to the pension roll during the fiscal year ending June 30th, thirty-six years after the close of the war, was 40,292. The total number added in the year 1872, seven years after the end of the war, when, in the opinion of the Pension Commis- sioner then in office, ‘practically all the old soldiers who had suffered grave disabil- itses might be supposed to have put in their applications,’”’ was 13,712, have increased threefold in twenty-nine ears. : against 282,000 in 1872. is nearly $140,000,000, or 110,000,000 more than in 1872.

The farce of a Republican county con- vention was held at Bellefonte yesterday. Hastings and his lieutenants had every- thing cut and dried all over the county, except Philipshurg, and Schoonover and his solid delegation of twenty and a couple of delegates from Snow Shoe was the only interruption to the schedule arranged previously. Philipsburg was solid against the slate at the primaries and the conven- tion, voting for no one else. The Gover- nor winked his eye and chairman Reeder was re-elected. He winked his other eye and Messrs. Allison and Dale went through as del egates to the state conven- tion. A nod of his august head, and Will- iam McKinley, of Miles township, was named for prothonotary. The slate broke here and no nomination was made for district attorney. If this is not machine politics will the Insurgents name it for us? Kindly Advice for Hamilton. From the Philadelphia North American. Secretary Hamilton and Representative Thompson have been turned down with emphasis by the Republicans of Centre county. Thompson needed a coat of white- wash on his legislative record, and ‘“‘Oleo John’? thought he saw an opportunity to secure ‘‘vindication’’ at the Hands of the farmers by allying himself with the pledge- breaker. They set up a candidate of their own for county chairman, and tried to boom him with a circular defaming the anti-machine candidate, but their stalking horse balked and kicked them into the diteh. If Secretary Hamilton wants to re- gain the confidence of the farmers his only safe course is to let politics alone and devote himself exclusively, diligently and efficiently to the suppression of the oleo swindlers. ; Ck Repudiated by His Own Party.
