Both the country and Mr. ROOSEVELT’S mouth are enjoying the rest that the latter is taking at Oyster Bay. . —_We don’t wonder that the anti-HAsT- iNGs Republicans hereabouts are getting “hot under the collar.” { Next Tuesday will show how firmly Chairman REEDER, and his kickers in the county, arein the saddle and with both feet. —Mr. QUAY may not know everything, but no one will doubt his knowledge of the best time for a fellow in his fix to ‘‘take to the woods."’ —If symptoms are to be taken into con- sideration, then tbe indications are that the question of trusts will prove the irritating seed in the appendix of the Republican party. — An Indiana Judge has decided that it is illegal to pump natural gas. The ques- tion this decision raises out there is as to the kind of a cork it will be necessary to use on Senator BEVERIDGE. —Chairman REEDER’S order to ‘‘down every one who wasn’t with us when we needed them?’ will possibly work until Tuesday next. After that the fellows who ¢wasn’t with them?’ will have their say. — Mr. ROOSEVELT’S press agent must be off on his summer vacation. We haven’t heard a word about that ‘‘war on trusts,’ or the blisters on the heels of the youngsters of the president for the last twenty-four hours. —The burning question with Mr. QUAY now appears to be as to which side of the Republican party in Pittsburg he can crawl into bed with. without the fear of divorce proceedings being instituted by the other. — With Governor HASTINGS absent and the supply of the ‘‘real thing’’ run short it ig not strange that the Republican cam- paign hereabouts is proceeding with about the same quietude that accompanies a Quaker funeral. —1f these cyclones, and cloud bursts and barn-burning thunder storms,don’t soon let up, the people of Pennsylvania will bave real reasons to conclude that, after all, QuAYism is not loaded with all the ills that can be fired at us. —Mr. EDWARD MCKINLEY, who want- ed to be prothonotary of the county, now wants to be a commissioner, but the boss says there is no use in his applying. Better stay at home with your family EDWARD, because you are to be turned down any- way. —We didn’t know much about the old ones, but an intimate knowledge of the present generation, leads us to remark that if the “‘ancestry’’ of Mr. PENNYPACKER is worth talking about, the best part of that family, like a growing potato, must be un- der the ground. —Such is the fact. A little bit of figur- ing around just now, tosee how many Dem- ocrats in your election precinct are not on the registry, would count lots more toward Democratic success this fall than all the bother you can make yourself about how things are going elsewhere. —The editor of the Jersey Shore Vidette is mad at Congressman DEEMER and vows he won’t support him, because the congress- man thinks the editor ought to be satisfied with two years as post-master of that place. Which simply goes to show that some con- gressmen don’t know au editor. -~Now do you helieve that Bishop PoT- TER'S sole object in marrying Mrs. CLARK is love 2? Do you believe that he never once thinks of the millions that Mrs. CLARK is worth ? The Bishops are probably affected by exactly the same notions that affect oth- er people and we diagnose this case wrong if there is not as much commercialism as love in it. —Some RiP VAN WINKLE, who has evi- dently been sleeping for the past decade calls np to ask ‘‘can these Democrats who condemn PENNYPACKER for not seeing anything wrong in Pennsylvania, tell us what ‘*ills’’ the State has to complain of ? Every body in this office is busy just now, but if this sleeping JAKE will ‘hold the phone” for a while, the people will tell him all about it. ‘—Notwithstanding the fact that there were some four and one-half million Dem- ocrats in the country in 1900, Mr. BRYAN seems to be getting very much imbued with the idea that he is the ‘‘whole push’’. He is a great man, there can be nodonbt about it and his equal as an orator and statesman the country does not know, but there comes a time, even in the lives of great men, when they can do vastly more good by keeping up with the procession, than by exhibiting their sores on the side-walks as the march- ers pass by. And that time has come in the life of Mr. BRYAN. — Ninety-one cases of cholera; a typhoon that turns three rivers up side down and destroys $50,000 worth of shipping; three uprisings among the natives that furnish seventeen Filipino and four American fu- nerals; forty-one United States soldiers dead from: disease: and climatic condi- tions, supplemented with a thirty-two thonsand dollar cargo of coffins, is the en- couraging news of a single week from our new possessions in the far east. Verily the $20,000,000 originally invested, and the $200,000,000 of christianizing experiments we have tried, bas not made of our acquisi- tion in the eastern Archipelago an Ar- cadia such as paradise hunters are looking for. ACTTOCTL ANG VOL. 47 STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION. BELLEFONTE, PA., AUGUST 1, 1902. Monkeying With the Guard. The National Guard is at present the fal- low field for political farming. Until WIL- LIAM A. STONE became Governor the bench, the National Guard and the public schools, were exempt from the chicane of politi- cians. Butsince that all have been brought into service and of the three, the National Guard is most worked. General MILLER was appointed to the chief office in the or- ganization two years ago and the invest- ment proved an excellent one. The domes- tic affairs of the General are more or less scandalous and have given the party a lit- tle trouble in the northwest. But hisgen- erous contributions to the campaign fund have more than compensated for any loss on that score, so that all things considered it may be said that the prostitution of the Guard to the services of the political ma- chine has been a success so far as it has gone. Because of that probably, another exper- iment is to be made in that direction. That is to say, there are rumors about Harris- burg and in the West that Adjutant Gen- eral STEWART is to be asked to resign his office in order that Brigadier General WI- LEY, of Franklin, may be appointed in his place. WILEY is a sort of confidential clerk in General MILLER’S office and as the office of Adjutant General brings the ocou- pant of it into confidential relations with the Major General, MILLER thinks it would be better all around if he had WILEY in that position. Besides, there is trouble about the senatorial nomination up there, which might be adjusted by a ‘judicious switching of the National Guard offices. In other words General WILLIS A. HULING, who aspires to the senatorial nomination, might be induced to relinquish that ambi- tion if he were given the office of Brigadier General now occupied by WILEY. The National Guard has prospered amaz- ingly, separated from politics, and had grown so strong that the first severe jolt which it received in the appointment of General MILLER did no harm. But it was felt, nevertheless, and for a time there was danger that serious results would follow. If the present pprpose is carried ont, how- ever, the worst expectations will be fulfill- ed, for the people should not quietly sub- mit to the complete surrender of the organ- ization to the B4andard oil monopoly, which would be the result of the proposed chang- es. MILLER is a Standard oil man, pure and simple, and with his clerk in the office of Adjutant General and General HULINGS in command of the Second brigade, ROCKA- FELLER would be the leading spirit. Sen- ator QUAY has shown contempt for popu- lar opinion in a good many ways, but this step may be the straw which will break the camel’s back. : The Tariff and Trusts. For the reason that the products of two of the principal trusts of the country are not protected by the tariff, the Philadel- phia Press undertakes to say that tariff is ‘not the mother of trusts as declared by one of the leading trust magnates aud ac- cepted as a truism by every intelligent student of political economy in the country. There is no tariff tax on petroleum and anthracite coal is on the free list, pipes that subservient organ of the tariff mongers, and therefore it can’t be true that ‘‘the tariff is the mother of trusts.” If the Press writer bad sense enough to perceive analogies he would not have made such a statement. Tariff taxation is an agent of special privileges. ' If taiiff taxes did nothing worse than raise redundant revenues if would be bad enough but still tolerable for redundant revenues are dangerous in that they provoke profligacy in expendi- tures but don’t stifle competition. Bat the worst feature about tariff taxes is that they prevent general competition and make such combinations within a limited area possible as will destroy all competition. The special privilege or particular favor, how- ever, is the: harmful element and every- body knows that the Standard Oil Company and the Anthracite Coal Trust bave enjoy- ed the favor of rebates and discriminating rates from the beginning and because of that fact they have become trusts. It may be accepted as an indisputable proposition that the withdrawal of special favors from trusts will terminate their ex- istence in a very brief period of time. If the railroads would stop giving rebates and cut rates to the Standard Oil Company, powerful and rich as it is, it wonld have strong competition within a month. Like- wise if the tariff taxes were removed from the prodnets of the steel trust so that com- petitors conld get materials from the mar- kets of the world, that colossal corporation would be dissolved within the same brief period. The trust magnates understand these facts as well as anybody else and for that reason are moving heaven and earth to prevent such a thing. —Dr. LoCKE accuses Aunt CLEMINTINA of being a worse mud thrower than Mt, Pelee. The Kind of Men Needed. Whatever else may be the outcome of the November elections, Pennsylvania is certain to have two Senators, at least, ab Harrisburg who will stand for the inter- ests of the people and the honor of the Commonwealth. These two gentlemen are HoN. J. HEN- RY COCHRAN of the 24th, and Congressman J. K. P. HALL of the 38 districts. The former, of these, Mr. COCHRAN of Williamsport, is already as good as elected. He has been made the Democratic nomi- nee of his district by the unaminous vote of his party, and it is now reported that no Revublican candidate will be named against him, for the reason, we presume, that it wonld be a useless waste of both money and effort to undertake to defeat him. Itis seldom such a compliment is paid any citizen of the state, but if any man within the boundaries of the Com- monwealth is entitled to the honor of a unanimous election to the Senate, that man is Senator COCHRAN. His devo- tion to the interests of the people during the eight years he has occupied that posi- tion; his unwavering fidelity to the honor and welfare of the state ; his high sense of fairness in everything that pertains to poli- tics; his integrity as a man and his liber- ality as a citizen, conpled with his stead- fast opposition to the trickery corruption and extravagance of the machine, makes his continuation as a Senator a condition to be desired by every good citizen, no matter where he may reside. There are but few Senator COCHRANS in the state and citizens, outside of his district have reason to be thankful that those within it, have the good sense and high appreciation of his worth, to continue him as their represen- tative in the Senate. The other gentlemen referre dto as equal- ly certain of an election is Hon. J. K. P. HALL, at present member of congress from this district. Mr. HALL at the unanimous request of the Democrats of his district has consented to accept the nomination. His election may be opposed by a few - Repub- licans who are anxious to serve the sta te machine but it is just as certain as is coming of the 4th of November, thus insuring the Democracy two of its best and most representative men in the upper branch of the legislature at Harrisburg, | Mr. HALL has been tried in Congress just as Mr. COCHRAN has been in the Sen- ate, and will enter his new positon witha record of well performed duties and an earn- est effort in the interest of good government, that any man might envy. He will go to the Senate with a full knowledge of the con- ditions that now make our great Common- wealth aby word and a reproach among the states of this government, and his every en- ergy and effort will be put forth tostay the wrongs and disgraces, its people now suffer at the hands of the machine. What he un. dertakes to do he does with earnestness and ability. His presence in the Senate wil] be notice to the state ring that what ig robs the people of will have to be battled for. For the conditions that makes these two men Senators the tax-paying people of the state have reason to be thankful. A Judicial Outrage. If there was ever any doubt of the indict- ment in the popular mind of the federal judiciary, it has heen removed by the ac- tion of Judge JACKSON of the District court of West Virginia, in sentencing some striking miners for contempt the other day. Previously the Judge had issued an in- junction forbidding them the right of peaceably persuading miners from taking their places in a mine of which he was a part owner. The injunction was properly disregarded and the men brought up for contempt. In sentencing them to imprison- ment he addressed them as ‘‘vampires,”’ and hurled other opprobrious epithets upon them. | The records of jurisprudence from the beginning of civilization until now reveals no such outrage, and if the criminal on the bench had been slapped in the face by one of the prisoners he would have received nothing more than he deserved. As a shareholder in the company concerned, Judge JACKSON had no business to sit in the proceedings at all. Having violated every principle of right and justice and prostituted his office to the basest uses by sitting in a case in which he was personally and financially interested, he had no right to expect either courtesy or consideration from the accused. A blackgnard himself he was entitled only to the treatment of a blackguard. : It is said that the miners intend moving for the impeachment of this clown in ju- dicial robs and we sincerley hope they will carry out the purpose. The chances are that the purpose would fail for such trials are determined on political grounds rather than considerations of justice. But in the investigation which would follow the methods of corrupt Republican judges who are dragging Federal ermine in the filth would be revealed, and probably out- raged public sentiment would force some of them to resign. ; ’ Pennsylvania Democrats Hopefal. Chairman CREASY is getting encourag- ing reports from all sections of the State, according to the daily newspapers. There is an earnest and a confident feeling among the Democrats everywhere he says and if that hope is continued it will bring a full vote to the polls and guarantee the election of the ticket. The vote cast for the Demo- cratic Presidential election in 1900 would have given the Democratic candidates for State Treasurer and. Justice of the Sup- reme court last year a vast majority. If the earnestness now reported to exist throughout the State continues until elec- tion day and is given expression at the polls the ticket will be elected beyond the shadow of a doubt. There are abundant reasons why the’ Democrats of the State should attend the election and vote their party ticket this year. If the QUAY machine is successful this year it will probably bea score of years before an honest vote will be had. Judge PENNYPACKER may be and no doubt is a clean man. Buta man who can see no evil in the present political conditions “worth mention’’ is likely to keep his eyes shut while QUAY and his gang of pirates are looting the State and depriving the people by law of all their civil rights. On the other hand if the machine, is defeated this year such legislation will he enacted as will guarantee fair elections in the fu- ture apd secure the people in their rights. No people ever had greater reason to be vigilant in defence of their rights. For many of them, if they lose this year, it will be their last chance. QUAY will not take the hazard of even a comparatively fair vote so long as he continues in. public life and those who succeed him will be no more generous or less unjust. Because of these facts every Democrat should be alert- He should not only see that he is himself qualified to vote bnt that every Democratic peighbor 1s also ready and able to vote. The time limit for making assessments is on the Fourth of September and for paying taxes on the Fourth of October. Every Democratic voter should be ready within the time. A Swong Indictment. In the history of civilization there has neygr been a more severe indictment of a government or an administration than that contained in the open letter addressed to the President the other day with respect to the Philippines. The letter is signed by CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, CARL SCHURZ, EpwiN BuURRITT SMITH, MOREFIELD Story and HERBERT WELSH. The char- acter of none of these gentlemen will be questioned. They are gentlemen eminent in the social and political life of the coun- try and active in every philanthropic work. Moreover they are not Democrats but have all contributed largely to the success of the Republican party. The letter is the result of an investi- gation of the subject made with judicial care and impartiality. The committee was appointed by the anti-Imperialist League last spring and employed every responsible source of information. It was not appoin- ted to convict. On the contrary it was organized in the hope of refuting the state- ment which had been freely made by re- turned soldiers and others. But if was made searchingly, honestly and fearlessly hy men jealous of the honor of their coun- try and the result justifies whatever appre- hensions were left. In fact the conditions were worse than they had been represented. Among the facts found were that our army, in dealing with the natives of the Philippines, bad committed ‘‘kidnap- ping and murder under circumstances of aggravated brutality; robbery; torture both of men and women and assault of the latter, and the infliction of death on other parties, on the strength of evidence elicited through torture.’’ = This is no slander induced by malice. It represents the plain facts and constitutes an indictment against the government of the United States more damning than any which has ever been: , presented against the Sultan of Tarkey or the Dowager Empress of China. Dh There May Be Some Fun Yet. Whether true or not, the report is in cir- culation that, word has gone out from: Chairman’ REEDER’S office to put the “gaff” into every candidate who was not formerly a HASTING—REEDER adherent, or who in the lass tribulations of the par- ty was not for the ‘‘old man’’ as against ELKINS. This report was on the street, on Tuesday evening, after a goodly number of those who can be trusted by the Republi- can chairman had been called to town for orders. Through whom or how it got out we do not know nor can we vouch for the truthfulness of it. The same report says that it has been fully determined upon to side track HENRY LowRY for sheriff, and give that place to BoB Cook at Howard; to defeat SCHOONOVER, of Philipsburg for Legislature with How ARD HOLSWORTH of Unionville, and to dump ABE MILLER for comniissioner for any one they can find who will prove a more subservient tool of the little ring that now imagines it runs things for the Republican party of the county. . We had thought shat ex-governor HASTING’S absence in Europe, and the scarcity of the ‘‘real thing,” might make the proceedings of next Tuesdays convention hoth quiet and common place, but if reports are true it promises to be al- most as interesting with him away as with him and his b’rl both here. At least ap- pearances are that bossism is to continue and that the Republicans of the county who have minds of their own, will be al- lowed to use them out behind their barns swearing at how little voice they are given in the management of the party affairs and how a few men here in town manipulate them to suit themselves. Yes, We Know Mrs. Schwab. From the Williamsport Times. Yes, there is a Mrs. Schwab. People have been so busy wondering how her: husband can actually earn: $1,000,000 a year that they have overlooked the most important branch of the steel trust family. She is not in society. . She is not a member of one the first families. Wealth has not spoiled her. She has not found’ it necessary to ad- vertise or spend money in fool ways to make the public take notice. The wife of the magnate is a clever, domestic, big-hearted woman, who gets a lot of solid enjoyment doing good. ° Just now she is in the picnic business, and she thinks it is fun. She is taking poor children from stifling, crowded New York to Richmond beach, feeding them in a manner that they’ll remember for years, giving them all the fun that can be crowd- ed into a day by the ocean, and sending them home happy. She is providing for'1,500 a day, and will keep it up till 100,000 little folks bave had an outing. That is fine. There isn’t anything stagey about it. It is founded on good impulses and a natural desire to create happiness. She doesn’t have to do it. Her ragged parties do not open to her the doors of ex- clusive homes in the metropolis. The only excuse for this rich man’s wife, the only explanation of her actions is that she wants to do good, and has found a way to benefit an army. It is easy to be glad that women like Mrs. Schwab have money. How Others View Us. Frora the Philadelphia Record. The evil fame of Senator Quay. is con- tinental.. It extends beyond the borders of the Union into adjacent countries A late number of the Mexican Herald in an editorial devoted to an explanation of the character and achievements of Quay says: Itis all very interesting, thisistudy of a persciv: political despotism in a great State studded with public schools, colleges and universities. Latin America is reproached with having never attain- ed to a high republican ideal, it is accused of many shortcomings, and of yielding to the pow- erful, but Latin America never saw a higher de- velopment of political bossism than exists to-day in Pennsylvania: no Latin American city was ever squeezed for pander as is Philadelphia. The news- papers of that city are mostly anti-Quay, but while they thunder away atthe silent boss he has the glad band of esteem and favor held out to him at the White: House, Quay is a power, and power is always highly respectable. It issomething new and decidedly un- pleasant to have the people of Pennsyl- vania and of Philadelphia held up to the scorn of the world as submissive to abuses which would not be tolerated by the in- habitants of Latin America. But we know of only one Philadelphian who out of the depths of his ignorance as to the ills under which our people groan could be depended upon to make suitable answers. Judge Pennypacker should turn his eyes away for a time from Massachusetts and do battle with this Mexican antagonist. The Remarkable Feature. From the Trenton (N. J.) True American. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph considers the abolition of the war taxes to the amount of $73,000,000 as ‘‘the greatest feat of financiering ever accomplished by any government in the history of the world.”” But the Telegraph will confess its error if it recalls the .greatest financial problem of imposing a war tax of $100,- 000,000 for three years after the war has ceased, and staving off a revolation while { the surplus in the treasury rose to $256,- 000,000 amid the wildest extravagance in expenditures. ‘The patience displayed by the Amer- ican people while they were being robbed by the trusts and plundered by the govern- ment is the remarkable feature of the finaneial operations in which the Telegraph takes so misplaced a pride. Not Frightened Yet. From the Goshen (N. Y.) Ind. Republican: President Roosevelt has taken advantage of the silly season in politics to declare his intention of smashing the trusts. It will be noted that he did not give vent to this high resolve until after congress had ad- journed, when it was too late to pass any measure designed to regulate these monop- olies. The trust magnates are losing no sleep because of Roosevelt. It is more than likely that, two years from now, they will, be liberal contributors towards his election. The powers and privileges of the trusts to oppress will not be curtailed by any republican administration. The Trade That Follows The Flag. From The Buffalo (N. J.) Courier. Thirty-two thousand dollars’ worth of coffins in which to bury American soldiers are heing sent to Manila by the transport Kilpatrick. That is $4,000 more than all the exports to Manila in May, therefore ghuoidaning clearly that trade ‘‘follows the ag. An Object Lesson. From the Keyser (W. Va.,) Tribune. By the time one has cooked a meal bought from the beef trust with fuel pur- chased from the coal trust on a stove se- cured from the steel trust, with sweeten- ing supplied by the sugar trust, it takes a good deal of faith to indorse Senator Han- na’s statement that trusts are a good thing.
