The clouds of discord lower O’er our Methodistic band, Until the shining shimmer Of the glor'ous, golden strand Is eclipsed in petty jealousies, That will grow far more profound Unless these parsons, penitent, At an altar gather round. —There aie lots of log-rollers in this Congress who wili be left in the back woods when another one is elected. —One swallow may not make a summer but Dr. SWALLOW seems to be making a very hot spring-time for our Methodist brethren. —The tin plate industry will never be ruined in this country as long as the ad- ministration continues to foster the tins soldier plant at Washington. —The fact that WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN is living in a barn on his farm near Lincoln is no indication that as a presi- dential possibility he has gone to seed. ——1If that great New York sub-way makes transit as rapid in that city after it is completed as it is now doing along the road to eternity the pace will be too speedy, even for New York. —It was a long time coming but when the sentences were finally handed out to RATHBONE and NEELY, the embezzlers of Cuban postal funds, they must have realized that they were gathering strength on the way. —It is altogether probable that Mr. Marcus AURELIUS HANNA will not take as much pains to settle the threatening strike in the anthracite regions as he did the one immediately before the presiden- tial election of 1900. —Millheim papers are advertising ‘‘Eby’s Best’’ for’ people who are afraid of the small-pox. Of course we don’t know much about it, but some people say it is a toss up as to which would knock a fellow out the quickest.- —The announcement that GROVER CLEVELAND will spend Easter in Florida isn’t near as exciting as was that of MATT QuAY’s departure from Florida for the North. Thereby hangs the importance of men who are in and out uf politics. —The way President ROOSEVELT has been treating his official family reminds us of the familiar injunction of an old time Bellefonte policeman. Whenever he would see two or more persons standing together on the street he would saunter up to them and say : ‘‘Kape movin,’ biys.” —— An important bit of news that comes by cable from London is that King Eb- WARD has revived the old English custom of ‘‘taking a pinch of snuff after meals.” This being so the next thing we can ex- pect to hear is the sneeze of the American flunky whenever his royal nibs dines. —The negro fiend who assaulted a wom- an sev enty years old at La Junta, Colora- do, on Tuesday, and was promptly lynched for it will probably find few defenders in the northern papers that would have thrown themselves into paroxysms of in- dignat ion had the lynching taken place in a southern State. ——Col.

He has both congression- al and senatorial bees buzzing and it is on- ly reasonable to infer that DAN bad some- thing to tell him yesterday about which one will prove the best buzzer. . —Gen. MILES fought his way to the head of the army. His bravery won the. rank for him. TEDDY ROOSEVELT became President thiough a national calamity that, had it been foreseen, he never would have been put in the way of profiting by it, yet he is the man who presumes to relegate a great and valiant soldier into obscurity, because that soldier dares to have an opin- ion of his own. —The United States fish commission is spending a lot of time needlessly in an at- tempt to discover whether fish sleep. Of course they don’t. There will be scores of fellows in Centie county oun the 15th of next April who will hear out our asser- tion. On the contrary, they are very much awake all the time and if one does go to sleep or get blind some fisherman like ROGER BROUSE captures it, so that there are not enough of that kind even to prove exceptions to the rule. A —Seoretary JOHN HAMILTON says, ip his report : “To those who believe that in the population of the rural districts the State must look for the vitalizing forces that are to overcome the physical, mental and mor- al degeneration which is taking place in the city life, the flow of population from the country to the city is alarming.”’ Is that so, Mr. Secretary? Well, we observe that you didn’t struggle much to keep out of the flood tide that carried you from the country to the city. Perhaps, it’s just as well. —May 20th bas been set as the date on which Cuba is to be set free, that is so far as being permitted to have men of her own - choice in control of her governmental af- ~ fairs.

Mr. Watterson’s Speech. Last week we referred to a letter which HENRY WATTERSON had written from Washington, where, according to his own statement, he was at the time tarrying in search of ‘‘information and polish,’ to his paper the Louisville Courier-Journal, in which he referred to the President as a “‘bronco-buster.’’ Since that the picturesque poet and strenuous politician has continued in the capital and on Monday evening last he addressed the Virginia Democratic association in much the same tone and tem- per that characterized the letter of the week previous. But he went further into the question in the speech than in the let- ter, and if comparisons were not odious, we might add that he was more eloquent and earnest. ‘‘Once again in the White House,”’ Mr. WATTERSON declared, ‘‘we have the man on horseback. Affecting the simplicity of the cowboy, he conceals beneath the self confi- dence and queer manners of the broucho- buster the sentiments and ambitions, if not the talents, of a Diaz.”” In other words Mr. WATTERSON discerns in President ROOSEVELT the purposes and ambitions which have enabled the President of the Mexican Republic to prolong his tenure of office and perpetuate his power for life. That is the one evil which the fathers of the Republic feared and all the ‘traditions of the early years of the government aimed to guard against. Bot recent incidents justify the estimate. The dismissal of the plea for justice made by Admiral ScHLEY and the threat to punish General MILES for expressing an honest opinion are in line with policies which have the purposes of an emperor in view. Col. WATTERSON'S speech is replete with patriotic protests against the dangers which are multiplying. ‘‘Tarn from the White House to the capital,’’ he continued, ‘‘and look at the Republicans in Congress. The trail of the trade mark is over them all. Old High Tariff dances the can-can in the House and Old Ship Sabsidy does the regu- lation cake walk in the Senate. Every- thing for the syndicates. Nothing for the people. And not content with their arbi- trary power in the White House and their mercenary power in Congress, the leaders of this party of federalism and false pre- tension would 1ip open Pandora’s box to fileh through thn: “black, piratical flag of negro domination—the equally disreputa- ble and bloedy shirt of sectional agitation —and in order to make sure of the next House they are proposing to bring forward another force bill te smite the South, to blight the North and ‘to convert a land teeming with love and peace into a land reeking with hate and strife.” This is the feast to whieh the broncho- buster in the White House and the trust attorneys in Congress are leading the peo- ple of this contry and it is small wonder that men like WATTERSON protest. Near- ing the end of an eventful life, devoted largely to the promotion of good to his fel-. lowmen and wealth and prosperity to his country the signs of coming calamity force him to protest and in the auguish of his beart at the unpropitions prospect he is vehement but eloquent, No wonder either that he appeals for Democratic unity to the end that the dangers now so menacing may be averted and the life of the Republic brought back to the lines on which they were laid by the founders. I OR. } Silly Talk of Cameron. The quidnuncs of politics have again brought forward the name of ex-Senator J. DONALD CAMERON as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. This time the story comes. from Pittsburg and ie based on gossip among the distract ed Republicans of that unhappy and un- fortunate city. In their desire to escape from the inflnenze of Governor STONE they clutch at any straw that comes floating along and the CAMERON story appears to have been brought up from the south as one of the sojourners there. But it isa Jame and impotent tale and’ will deceive no one fit to be at large. DoN- ALD CAMERON is not a candidate for Goy- ernor and will not become one. If he thought the party worth saving it is possi- ble that he might discommode himself to’ the extent of running for office. But he is no longer under the spell which once in- duced him to make sacrifices to save the partv. ‘lhose who profit by its success are no longer his friends. They are upstarts who have come into place as scavengers of a corrupt machine with which he has neither sympathy nor fellowship. Besides CAMERON knows that he couldn’t be elected Governor, if he were nominated. He realizes that the people will accept no man who is satisfactory to the machine and the nomination of CAMERON would be sim- ply inviting the public to a fresh scrutiny of a record that forced him into retirement nearly a score of years ago. What good would it be to him to bring ahout that re- sult. Absolutely none. He is happy in his luxurious ease, lazy in his contentment and satisfied with things as they go. Why should he change such a condition ? i | | Hanna and Roosevelt. The signs of an impending encounter between President ROOSEVELT and Senator MARK HANNA are multiplying. As Col- onel WATTERSON suggested in a recent in- terview the President has been gradually weeding out of official life the distinctively McKINLEY element. Thus far, however, he hasn’t interfered with Senator HANNA. He has taken his principal political lieu- tenant, Mr. PAYNE, of Wisconsin, and at- tached him to his own staff and he tried to induce JOE MANLEY, another of HANNA'S political favorites and helpers, to desert his old and join with a new friendship. He has heen coddling Colonel DICK, of Ohio, who first became prominent because of his relations with HANNA and his devotion to McKINLEY. But he has let HANNA have his own way in matters in which he has a deep interest and even pretended to defer to him in some unimportant affairs. But there is promise of a storm brewing and it will burst over the world of Wash- ington before long with a fury which will create terror among politicians. HANNA doesn’t yield gracefully to disappoint- ment or bow gracefully to what appears to be willful slights. He has not been a care- less observer of recent events at Washing- ton. As the distinctively McKINLEY men have been going, one after another, HANNA has not been oblivious of movements. He has not remonstrated or even revealed his feelings in the matter, but he has been thinking and encouraging others to think. As his old friends like PAYNE have been going, he has taken pains that others have been coming and now, about two years be- for the time for the selection of a presi- dential candidate, the old man is getting ready to spring a surprise which is likely to have a marvelous effect on politics. In other words the indications are that Senator HANNA is a candidate for the Re- publican nomination for President, not so much because he wants to be President as for the reason that he desires to teach ROOSEVELT a lesson. HANNA never had much love for ROOSEVELT. He didn’t want him as a candidate for Vice Presi- dent two years ago and accepted him at the solicitation of PLATT, merely because it wae believed it woald shelve him, save New York to the Republicans and keep him out of PLATT’S road. But the accident which pus him into the office of President altered the political map materially and from that day to this HANNA has been like a cat watching every movement of his enemy. He may not be able to prevent his nomina- tion, for patronage is a potent force in Re- publican politics. Bat he will make the victory, if it is achieved, an earned one or else he will fail in his expectations. The Machine Campaign. Attorney General ELKIN'S campaign for the Republican nomination for Governor goes merrily on, as he states to the newspaper interviewers in a way that is en- tirely satisfactory to himself. Every day brings new tales of QUAY’S uncertainty, and some of the bolder prevaricators declare that the ‘‘old man’’ is opposed to the pro- gram of the machine. favorable to ELKIN and DURHAM and EYRE and GRIEST and REEDER and all the others of the office holding dynasty of which QUAY is the head are exultant over the re- turns as they come in. As the WATCHMAN has said from the be- ginning ELKIN will be nominated and by the practically unanimous vote of the con- vention. It suits Senator QUAY to keep in the background as long as his plans are working themselves out to his satisfaction. He adopted the same course four years ago, when STONE was the candidate of his friends. But when just previous to the meeting of the cenvention ‘the shadow of doubt crept over the political horizon, he promptly asserted himself and checked the defection. This year he hopes it won't be necessary to speak at all. This time he ex- pects that the - fraudulent spontaneity will continue to the day of the convention. The truth is that nobody else than ELKIN will serve the purposes of the ma- chine this year: Any other candidate who would consent to obedience to machine masters would be as hard to elect as ELRIN and harder for the reason that the. ballot box stuffers would work with less confi- dence and enthusiasm for any other candi- date. With ELKIN in the office these ser- vants of the machine are confident of im- munity. With the Attorney General in the Governor's mansion the plunderers would proceed with their operations in ab- solute safety. . For these reasons QUAY and all the other machine leaders are for ELKIN and he will be nominated. ——The Clarion Democrat is pushing Congressman HALL to the fore as a succes- sor of the notorious NEELY. But we mnst have HALL for our next Governor. He could be more useful there to sit down on the vicious legislation that might be pass- ed should any more NEELYS get into the text session—the latter: possibility, how- ever, is very remote. But one county fol: lows another in electing delegates that are: BELLEFONTE, PA., MARCH 28. 1902. An Admonitory Signal. Over in King’s county, New York. the sheriff was removed a few weeks ago, hy the Governor, for the reason that during his canvass for the election he promised a man a subordinate office under him in con- sideration of certain services in his behalf. The action was probably all right,for there, as here, the payment or promise to pay any money or other valuable thing for services in a campaign is corrupt solicitation under the law, punishable by removal from office, and the courts have beld that office is a valuable thing. But wkat would happen if the law on that subject should be enforced in this State. It is a matter of general knowledge that during the session of the Legislature of 1899 nearly. every office in the gift of the Governor was offered for votes for QUAY for Senator and according to authentic re- ports similar offers were freely made for the same service during the last session of the Legislatore. In Philadelphia and Pittsharg, according to the popular under- standing, all the offices are bargained away during the municipal campaigns and coun- ty offices and seats in Congress and the Legislatare are similarly disposed of. The Kings county case has not been set- tled as yet for the reason that the appointee lacked nerve to assert his claim until the officer removed had recovered his nerve taken away first by the surprise and hav- ing possession he refused to surrender or vacate. But it’ is in the courts now and will probably be decided before long in favor of the appointee, as it ought to be, for he has the law and morals on his side. But we would recommend the exercise of care in the future in this State, for if it once be- comes the habit there will he lots of removals, Beet Sugar Trust Trick. The tariff mongers in Congress pay a scant compliment to the intelligence of the American people in their fraudulent pre- tense of giving aid to the planters of Cuba by a tardy reduction of the tariff rates on sugar amounting to a matter of twenty per cent. If such a reduction had come cheer- fully and promptly it wonldn’t have been much use, for it isn’t enough to equalize the carrying cost of the product to the markets of this conntry. But insignificant and inadéquate as it is, it has been held back until the crop has been sacrificed and the whole business has been made to take .on the form of a mockery. Notwithstanding these obvious facts the attorneys of “the beet sugar trust in Con- gress have been pretending to hold ous against the concession so as to create the impression on the public mind that it is important. As late as Monday last, in pursuance of this false pretense, some of the leading heet sugar men of the House of Representatives were in conference with the President and protesting that the in- terests of their constituents are being sacrificed. ROOSEVELT has loaned himself to that transparent fraud. Bat it hasn't deceived the public. Every intelligens man in the country has realized from the beginning that it is simply ‘‘horse play.” Of course the beet sugar trust will yield in the end. They will protest with great earnestness that they are obeying the be- hest of the party leaders for the sake of party harmony. But asa matter of fact they are simply perpetrating a frand on the public the object of which is to perpetuate the trust breeding tariff and prolong the period of robbery. for the benefit of the beet sugar trust. They imagine that this is not understood by the people. But in this they are reckoning without their host. The public schools have done too much for the people to leave them in condition to be fooled in that way. : ——By all means we would advise our Republican friends who are leaders in the fights at their county conventions to attend the Methodist Conference now in session in this place. They think they are scrappers; they imagine that what they don’t know about running conventions is not worth’ learning; they believe they are up in all the approved methods of knocking the oth- er fellow ont without his knowing how its done; they glory in the bitterness of fac- tionalism; they feed on personal feuds and fatten on the petty jealousies that underlie all their troubles. Bat in all these things they will find themselves mere novices. Attendance at this gathering of Methodist ministers, a great majority of whom can shake hands with them politically, will show them this as well as teach them to do that which they have been trying to do to each other, this long time. They should go and learn, ——On Tuesday morning there was a special session of court to consider the li- cense applications that had been held over at the regular session of the license court. Those of James 1. DeLong, of Eagleville; Charles Reese, of Boggs Twp., and Alonzo Grove, were taken up. Attorneys Heinle, Gray and Chambers appeared for the appli- caunts. while Clement Dale and J. Kennedy Johnston presented the remonstrances. The application of Mr. DeLong was refused. The others were held nuder further consid- | eration. _NO. 13. Rumn, Miles, Run! S. E.

A Probable Reason. Since his honor, Judge LOVE, bas dis- played such unmistakable knowledge of the christian science propaganda a great many people have been wondering where he got it. Now the WATCHMAN does not pretend to have a corner on the information, nor does it claim to have any enlighten- ment on the snbject at all, but one reason that could be advanced might be found in the following imagivary dialogue : Governor Bill :—You don’t want any better job than you've got up there in Cen- tre county, Jack. You only think you do. Jack —Only think I do, eh? Governor Bill :—Yes. [It is merely a delusion.

The candi- dates must be taken from among those who have passed a board of examiners created for the purpose by the courts and these examina- tions are required to be made at least six months before the date of the general elec- tions each year. The elections will be made by inspection districts, of which there are six. —The last of the five deer that have been a feature at Lakemont park, Altoona, since 1804, have been exterminated by dogs. There were but three of them and during the summer it was the delight of the chil- dren who visited the park to visit the deer ‘park to feed the timid little animals, a buck, a doe and a fawn. Oneday last week Watch- man Knighton, who fed the deer, went to the pen but missed the trio's coming to him to accept food . from his hands and his fond caresses. He made an investigation and in a little hollow on the hillside found his pets: with their throats terribly lacerated and torn. Between the larger deer lay the fawn and from the position of the bodies they had evidently tried to protect it from danger. It, is supposed that a dog scratched a hole under the fence and attacked the timid little ani- mals, killing them without their offering much resistance. The deer were valued at $25each. They did not thrive in captivity and it is not likely that others will be pur- chased. —J. M. Rupert, a well known farmer who had been living in Henderson township, near Huntingdon, nearly all his life, chartered a freight car and started from Huntingdon on a long journey to Grand Junction, Colorado. In the car also were all of Mr. Rupert's household goods, a great lot of farming im- plements, a couple of horses and some small live stock. The lone passenger on his novel journey in the side-door ‘Pullman’ is pro- vided with a small iron stove, which will be used for cooking purposes as well as to furnish ; heat, a supply of fuel and ample provisions to do him until his destination is reached. Fresh water will be obtained at various places along the route. When located Mr. Rupert will be followed by his family. With all on board excepting a barrel of water, the contents of the car weighed 13.500 pounds, and the rate from Huntingdon to Chi- cago reached the sum of nearly $250. Mr.Ru- pert has an arrangement with the C. B. & Q. railroad to carry him from Chicago to his’ | destination which is a long distance; and it is not at all likely that he will be run iuto Grand Junction before a week or ten days.
