Mr. Olmsted’s Curious Reasoning. Representative OLMSTED of the Harris- burg Congress district made an interesting speech in the House of Representatives in Washington the other day in support of his own report from the committee on elec- tions on the contested election case of WAGONER against BUTLER for the Twelfth district of Misseuri. This is a peculiar case and required extraordinary treatment. The overwhelming majority which Mr. BUTLER received at the special election last November was hard to dispose of and there- fore Mr. OLMSTED was obliged to discover some new principles of law and new meth- ods of procedure and reveal some extra- ordinary facility at falsification in order to carry his point. Mr. BUTLER was elected to Congress by the voters of that district at the regular election of 1900 by a majority of 3,553. For some unexplained reason the Repub- lisans wanted the seat so badly that upon Mr. OLMSTED’S report on a contest the member-elect was thrown out during the last session and a special election ordered to fill the vacancy. The special election was held last November with the result that Mr. BUTLER’S majority of 3,553 in 1900 was increased to 7,016 in 1902. Any one else than OLMSTED would have interpreted that as a rebuke of the narrow partisanship which outraged justice by unseating Mr. BUTLER before and left him to the enjoy- ment of his victory. But it didn’t have that effect on OLMSTED. He made a new investigation of one side of the case and re- ported, notwithstanding the 7,016 majority, that Mr. BUTLER was not elected and that bis overwhelmingly defeated competitor was entitled to the seat. The surprising part of the affair, how- ever, was the reason given by Mr. OnM- sTED for his decision and the processes by which he arrived at his conclusions. The registry list was padded after the Phila- delphia fashion, it appears, and Mr. OLM- STED discovered that ‘eighty-one persons were registered in a house having only eleven rooms, ’’and forty of them were allow- ed to remain on the registry by the election commissioners. That was bad,of course, but nothing compared with Philadelphia. There it has been proven in court since the elec- tion that sixty men were registered and voted from one brothel protected by the police in its lawless and vicious traffic be- cause it could be used as a ‘‘fence’’ for ballot box stuffers and the offer was made to prove that there are hundreds of similar places of the same character protected for the same reason and that 80,000 fraudulent votes are polled from such iniquitous dens of infamy for the Republican ticket every year. Mr. OLMSTED understood that such a statement supported by exparte evidence was not sufficient to unseat the Represen- tative who had 7,016 majority behind him, so he asserted the legal principle that there having been frauds in every election dis- trict in which the Democrats had a ma- jority all such districts be thrown out and those remaining gave the Republican can- didate a small majority. This atrocious interpretation of the law was adopted by the House at a session without a quorum and upon such proceedings the defeated Republican candidate for Congress has been declared elected, placed on the roll and with a service of ten days will be allowed to draw the salary of the fall term. Senator Quay’s First Defeat. feat. He set out to force the omnibus Statehood bill through the Senate. Early in the session which has just closed he de- clared that unless that measure were dis- posed of he would hold up all other legis- lation. He did his best to carry out the purpose. He even forced an extra session of the Senate to achieve tbe result. But he failed and lost at least one of the ele- ments of success which influenced Governor PENNYPACKER to declare him a greater man than WEBSTER or CLAY. Bat Mr. QUAY neglected no means of achieving the result which he had in his mind. He jeopardized the perpetuity of the government and imperiled the prosperity of the people. There are various ways of assailing the flag. The leaders of the South in 1861 adopted one expedient. They re- sorted to arms and marched squadrons against the citadel of power and tried to crush the authority of the Federal govern- ment. That was really a manly warfare. It was hostility in the open. But QUAY aimed at the same result in a different way. He tried to paralyze the government by withdrawing from it the necessary support. QuAY failed in his purpose as JEFFERSON Davis failed but of the two methods that of DAVIS was the more honorable and manly. The success of either would have come to the same result. If the armed foe of the government between '61 and ’65 had triumphed in their designs the government would have been destroyed. If QUAY had succeeded in depriving the government of the resources to keep the machinery in motion the result would have been the same. In other words there is no differ- ence between QUAY and any other enemy left to pay them. of the government. Senator QUAY bas sustained his first de- : Bad Wit Misapplied. The Republicans had a bad quarter of an hour in Washington the other day and they made rather a poor fist of it. The question was a statement that certain valuable relics, historic mementoes and cherished tokens that have come into the White House in one way or another during the century of its existence had not heen properly taken care of lately. As a matter of fact it ap- pears that since ROOSEVELT has been in office most of the property of that kind bas been consigned to the junk pile and what has escaped that fate has been sold to second hand furniture men and curio deal- ers. It is worthy of mention in this con- nection that the side-board presented to Mrs. HAYES by the Women’s Christian Temperance Association has been sold to a brewer who wants it for use in a saloon at the St. Louis World’s Fair. The Republicans in the House of Repre- sentatives undertook to make light of the question. General GROSVENOR who knows about as much concerning humor as an elephant does about dancing the minunet took a hand iu the discussion. ‘‘The pend- ing bill,”’ he said ‘‘relates to fine breeding animals, not bar fixtures.’’ and the Repub- licans were convulsed with laughter. Prob- ably the temperance women of the coun- try will not take the same hilarious view of the question. The son of Mrs. HAYES fail- ed to see the fun in the affair and offered an amount of money for the souvenir rath- er than have it placarded in a saloon. But the new owner correctly estimates the pos- sibilities of such a novelty in a saloon and declined the offer,so that the temperance proclivities of a lady of the White House may be held up to ridicule to the fullest extent. Bat the popular approval of Mr. GRoOS- VENOR’S associates encouraged him to pro- ceed and even induced JOE CANNON, of Illinois, to drop into humor without wis. ‘I do not believe in descending to diminu- tives continued Mr. GROSVENOR, ‘‘and tracing the whereabouts of second-hand farniture.”” This was really funny and Mr. CANNON followed with this gem: “When MADISON was President it is relat- ed that the washing was hung in the East room. My God,” he continued, ‘‘what has become of the clothes line?” This mock heroic convulsed the statesmen with- in the sound of his voice but it didn’t answer the question of the resolution and will hardly satisfy the patriotism of the country which is outraged by the irrev- erence with respect to relics which have been fondly cherished since the days of WASHINGTON. Something better must be offered. The War in The Philippines. The news from the Philippines continues to express the horrors of war. It is nearly three years now since the announcement was made in Washington that hostilities were ended but scarcely a day passes that doesn’t bring intelligence of some new out- break and fresh atrocity. All sorts of compromises have been made with vice and every principle of our government has been sacrificed at one time or another to fulfill the consequences of the lust for em- pire which first influenced the administra- tion of the late President McKINLEY to enter upon a war of conquest in that Asiatic archipeligo. But the war goes on with unabated cruelty and will go on for all time, if present policies are continued. It has already been amply proved that in the Philippine policy of the government every cherished principle and sacred tradi- tion of the country has been subverted. In fact this has been practically acknowl- edged by those responsible but they have held that the commercial or the pecuniary gain will compensate for the loss. This is putting a small estimate upon the value of principle even if the best expectations with respect to commercial advantages were realized. But as a matter of fact so far from such expectations being realized they are farther off now than when the first bat- tle was fought. The expense of main- taining order and mock government is al- most as great now as it was three years ago and the returns are quite as meagre. In view of these facts isn’t it about time for the people of this country to call a halt on a policy so fatuous that if it continues much longer will bring bankruptoy. Probably the islands are as fertile as the most enthusiastic have described them. Maybe the wealth in minerals that has been written about so freely exists beneath the surface of that tropical soil. But white men can never develop such a country and it is the plain duty of our government to relinquish an unjustly acquired sovereignty and give to the people there what onr forefathers declared was an inalienable right, that of civil and re- ligious liberty under a government of their own. : ——1If a bill now before the Legislature becomes a law the District Attorney of Centre county will receive a » Falary of $1000 per annum. An Insult to The People. Does the Republican machine imagine that the people of Pennsylvania are no lon- ger capable of self-government ! This con- clusion may justly be inferred from the numher of commissions that are being created by the Legislature. We are having commissions to fix our rates of taxation, and finally commissions to keep our public roads in regair. Every thing appears to be running toward commissions and unless the people of the State are incapable of self government there is no need for these com- missions. It may be said that the commissions are created for the purpose of providing fat places for favored politicians and they do serve that purpose without doubt. The roads commission, for example, will require a civil engineer at a salary of three or four thousand dollars a year, besides secretaries, clerks and stenographers and the members of that commission must have their ex- penses paid at a luxurious rate. The other commissions must be equally equipped in the matter of help and luxuries and the present Legislature is providing for twenty of them or more so that they do become an important lever in politics. But the real reason for them is that the machine mana- gers believe that the people are unable to govern themselves. This is a palpable and impudent insult to the people of Pennsylvania which should be resented promptly and vigorously. There never was a time in the history of the world im which intelligence was so generally and widely diffused as now and yet flity years ago nobody would have dared intimate that the people of Pennsyl- vania needed commissions or imported tal- ent to build and repair their roads, or school houses or other public or private institn- tions. That aspersion is put on them how however, by the action of the machine and it remains to be seen whether or not the insult will be resented. The Dangerous Surplus. There are over $10,000,000 in the gen- eral fund in the state treasury and three or four millions in the sinking fund, and vet the Legiclators at Harrisburg are still searching high and low for new subjects of taxation. Corporations are burdened and they in turn add to the cost of their service to the public and for what reason ? For no other cause in the world except that the vast fund distributed over the State in the favored banks serves to influence voters to support the machine and perpetuate the power of the ring. The greatest evil which was ever in- flicted on this State was the indiscriminate appropriation of funds by the Legislature for so-called charity. It is nothing more or less than prostituting charity to the base of debauching politics. Charity is dis- tributed not accordingly as it is needed or may achieve good results, but in the pro- portion that it helps the Republican ma- chine and the institutions afford a rake-off to the dependent politicians of the State. Hospitals are created and supported not to relieve distress or minister to the sick but in order to create a fund with which to purchase votes for the party. : The treasury surplus is a menace to the prosperity of the people. The fiction that it comes from the corporations is all bosh and deceives no intelligent man or woman. All expenses come from the consumers and money taken from their earnings for pur- poses of government in excess of the actual needs of government work a double injury. It is unjust to the taxpayer in the first place, for it takes from his earnings money which belongs to himself and to the busi- ness men of the country for the reason that it concentrates in money centres the cur- rency which ought to be diffused through- out the State. ——In the appointment of Wm. F. SMITH to be post-master at Walker the question is raised as to whether Col. W. F. REEDER is really the dispenser of patron- age in Centre county or whether some of the lesser lights who have not bowed to the REEDER yoke have not still a way to the ear of the ‘‘old man.”” In the Walker appointment Col. REEDER was known to have been for SAMUEL ALEY and there was quite a long and bitter contest for the of- fice. But the result shows that M. S. BETZ, the Jacksonville store keeper at whose business place the office is located, had a little pull somewhere. He is one of the few country leaders who did not hasten into the REEDER camp when that famous telegram was made public, consequently his man was not supposed to be in the race. Mr. BETZ went down to Washington and called on ‘‘the powers that be’’ with the result that Mr. SMITH was very proRpAY appointed; The Patron, the Grange paper for- merly edited by Hon. Leonard Rhone and Col. Jas. F. Weaver and published from the Republican office in this place, has been consolidated with the Farmer's Friend, the paper published by Col. R. H. Thomas, at Mechanicsburg. on HIN Such Will be the Case, We Hope That From the Philadelphia Press. Governor Pennypacker is reported to have declared in a semi-public way on Sat- urday that he had been making inquiries to ascertain if any demands had been made for a percentage of money appropriated by the Legislature to institutions, familiarly called a rake-off. He has found no trace of such demands, but asks for all infor- mation any one may have on the ‘subject. He wants to know the truth. There was a great deal of scandal in the last Legislature about the reported rake- off on the charitable appropriations. At the close of the session the whole State was filled with talk of it, and some of the talk was sufficiently definite to include the names of persons who were in official posi- tion in the Legislature and the then State administration. There never was any public allegation, however, save in the case of the appropriation to the Clarion Normal school. A great deal of noise was made about that, but a few days ago the grand jury ignored the indictments brought in the case, not having sufficient evidence 2 pavans their return to court as true ills. That probably ends the scandal so far as the last session is concerned. And there will be no similar scandal at this session. Long before the session met the influences which are recognized as potent in shaping legislation had concluded there should be no room for a repetition of such allega- tions, no matter how vague. Let us give just credit. Senator Quay and Senator Penrose and Mr. Durham were determined against it, and the election of Judge Penny- packer to the Governorship, Henry F. Walton to the Speakership and John M. Scott to the Presidency of the Senate were a guaranty to the peblic that there wounid not only he no rake-off, but that there would not be even the suggestion of such a thing. It can be said in the light of full know- Jedge on the subject that nothing at the present session has been watched with more vigilance and care by those who know it to be the purpose of the leaders of the Republican organization to see that there is no snch scandal as that which grew out of the last session; that there is not even a shadowy excuse upon which to hang similar accusations. There are no hold-up committees in this Legisla- ture and no black-mailing lobbyists about it to make demands upon the charity ap- propriations. No institution will pay any- thing to get the money which the State in- tends it shall have. Governor Pennypacker has solidly clinched the matter by his request to be told of any demands made by anybody for a rake-off. The rake-off operator wi out of business during the present session of the Legislature and the present State administration. The State will not be humiliated by another such scandal as that of two years ago. As to the Widows. From the Williamsport News. Alfred A. Howlett, banker, contractor, and merchant, of Syracuse, N. Y., invited 136 widows to participate in the celebration of his eighty-second birthday at his home on Tuesday last, and an even hundred were present. Men were rigorously excluded. A woman’s orchestra furnished the music, a woman took care of the furnace, and a woman opened the doors of the carriages as they drove up. In this assemblage, the Chicago Infer- Ocean contends, there must have been widows of all ages, all kinds, and all de- grees of widowhood. But it is to be pre- sumed that, whether old or young, homely or pretty, ordinary or fascinating, unhappy or joyful, consoled or inconsolable, ex- pectant or hopeless, they were all genuine, as the aged Mr. Howlett seems to be a very particular sort of man. Just what bis object was in bringing all these widows together it is impossible to say. If he were a younger man it might be presumed that among the widows of his acquaintance he was hoping to find oue who would be a comfort and a blessing to him. But at 82 men do not usually marry widows. At that age a man in Mr. How- lett’s circumstances is generally able to find among the daughters and grand- daughters of widows some one willing to run the risk of becoming a widow herself. But the woman who participated in this affair that most men will be interested in is the woman who took care of the furnace. The chances are that she is not a widow. A woman who can take care of a furnace need not be a widow. Nor if once married is she ever likely to become a widow, be- cause there is no reason why her husband should not live on and on and spend every moment of his life in perfect health and contentment. As a matter of fact, if women in general would learn how to take care of the fur- nace and exhibit a desire to take care of it, and refuse to permit their husbands to take care of it, such parties as that given by the Syracuse banker, contractor, and merchant would be next to impossible, for there would be few if any widows in this coun- try, genuine, legal, or grass. An Embarassing Object Lesson. From the Columbia Independent. Why did the Republicans take the duty off coal if, as they tell us, the foreigner pays the tariff tax ? And why, if the peo- ple pay the tariff tax, do the Republicans wish the duty to go back a year from now unless to protect the monster coal trust? Those are the two horns of the coal tariff dilemma. Take your choice, Republicans. The Democrats are well pleased at the ob- ject lesson you have been compelled to give the people. Not Such a High Mark to Set Woman Either. From the Easton Democrat. It is reported from St. Petersburg that there is a strong agitation there in favor of admitting women to the Bourse, and ib is believed that this innovation will be effect- ed within a short time.
