VINDICATION.
As Peter A. Evans of Montour Town
ship has presented himself to the
honest Democratic voters of Columbia
County to represent thoir interests in
the next Legislature. I bono Farmers.
Laboring men and tax payors will give
him their oarnost support. Wo now
have an opportunity to look after our
interests ana vmdicato our rights
which were saonhcoU by tho last Iiegis
laturo in regard to the Rail Road
fenco law, which has made much
thousands and perhaps millions 0f
dollars in the pockets
ickoU of Rail Road
Companies. This is ovidenco that one
of our previous Representatives did
not vote for tho interests of those
who olected him. In my travels I
find farmers and laboring men goner
ally are anxious to bd represented by a
farmer who will look after their inter
ests. In viow of theso facts 1 now
hopo they will give Mr. Evans their
earnest support.
Yours Respectfully

Mn. Coluiiuian.
I want to know how muoh longer
the Democrats of this county 'aro go
ing to keep William Krickbaum in
offioc Only a few years ago two of
our county commissioners mado affida-
vits that this man offered ono of them
8300 to make him commissioners' clerk
and a friend of Krickbaum's offered
tho other ono $100 for the same pur
pose. A charge of unadulterated
bribery! And yej, two years ago the
Democratio party sent him to the leg-
stature, and he is asking to go book
again. With suon a man as reter a.
1
Evans against him, there con be no
doubt of tho result. Krickbaum has
had twentr years of publio office and
made a fortune out of it. In the name
of sense, n not that enough!

Two weeks apo I withdrew my
name as a candidate for Memb
er of the Legislature on the
ground that my personal inter
ests were such that I did not
feel warranted in giving suffic
ient time to make a proper can
vass. But since my withdrawal
many democrats from every
section of the county have ap
pealed to me to reconsider the
matter. No ordinary pressure
would cause me to change my
decision not to be a candidate.
But I feel that the very general
demand made of me by the de
mocrats of the county to be
their candidate is too strong for
me to over look, and calls upon
me to lay aside my personal
concerns and announce my
name as a candidate. I will
make every honest endeavor to
secure the nomination, and it
nominated and elected will do
all in my power to serve the
best interests of the people.
Yours respectfully,
PETER A. EVANS.
Tbrouch an unintentional o crsioht
last week, tho cird of Peter A. Evans
announcing that ho had rooonsidereu
his intontiou to withdraw as a candid
ate for Representative, did not appear
in this paper. It will bo found in this
issue.
Mr. Evans' reasons for withdrawing
were considered sufficient by him, but
when he found how much dissatisfact
ion was created by his aotion ha at
onco yielded to tho demands of his
fricuda, and reannounccd his name.
This will not affeot his chances for
nomination. It simply shows that ho
is not an oflico seeker, persistently
thrustitiL' himself constantlv beforo the
people for public pi,, but 'hat ho is a
candidate uectuso oi a largo ucraanu
fo.- his candidacy and because tho
peoplo want men in tho legislature who
will rcpresont them, and not men wno
seek tho place for tho sake of political
prestige and for their own personal
ends, and it is for this reason that Mr.
Evans was induced to run, as we aro
informed, by a general demand through
out the county.
The Representative Question.
Messrs Editors:
I have been a constant reaier of
The Columbian for a number of years,
and through its columns I have been
kept well informed as to the political
auairs ot uolumma county, it ap
pears to me that thero aro more oandi-
dates acnounoed for tho Boveral offices
to bo filled this Fall, than camo for-
ward at any provious campaign. For
Assembly thero seems to bo consider
able strife; there being no less than
fivo candidates announced for that of-
fire, while thero are but two persons
to be elected. I notice that Wm.
Kriokbaum is again booming himself
for re-nomination to the Legislature,
and tho way matters look in my seo-
tion it will require a great deal of
booming and fencing to enclose a
sufficient number of yoters to renomi
nate hira. From tho record be made
for himself, aud his conduct previous
to and since holding a seat at llama-
burg, 1 should think hira a proper sub-
Meet to retire. I can call to mind fivo
Members some of whom aro dead, who
l,rovei- t0 be corrupt and unfaithful to
'heir constituents of Columbia County,

aside by their respectivo Democratio
Conventions, while other men possess-

and one of them will be to retire Will

His vote on the fence question and his
miserable excuse lor the same ought to
comp'etely bury him with tho farming
elemeut of this county. He, pretend
ing to represent tho interest of tho
farmer! How many farmers in Col urn
bia county would havo voted for that
fence bill favoring corporations and
lniuring themselves! wot one! let
he poses as 'the farmers' friendl' The
real effect of this fecco law has not
yet been felt, Jnst wait till the fences
along tho railroads rot down, and tho
farmers' stock are fonnd on the track,
some killed, a train thrown off the
road, and then the fun will commence
Tho farmer will lose his stock, be sued
for damages, aud compelled to fence
up his horses and cattle, or fence up
the whole railroad line through bis

Knckbaum s bills, and it was support
ed by the most corrupt element in tho
Legislature to final passage.
You havo before yon, asking your
support, Peter A. Evans, and
an in

safely trust. He will represent your
interests without going to tho presi
dent of a railroad company for advice,

WABHINOT0N LETTER.
(Prom our Regular Correspondent,
Washington, July 23, 1890.
The republicans in Congress could
not possibly be in a more demoralized
condition than thoy nrr,prominent Sen
ators aro openly protesting against tho
tariff bill, and no republican Senator
has so far dared to -rako a tpeech up
on it tor tear that tho bill may bo so
radically changed that the speech could
bo quoted against tho party in the
campaign.
The tight between tho friends of Mr.
Blaine and of Speaker Reed grows
moro bitter every day, and will with
out question bo to the death: the anti-
lilaino republicans aro openly sneering
at the foroign policy of tho Govern
ment, which writes "jingo" letters to
foreign ministers for tho publio per
usal ana senas secret orders to disman
tle the Rovenuo cutters which had
ueen htted up, especially to o&rry out
our alleged polioy in Bering Sea.
Mr. Harrison has been appealed to to
come to tho rescuo and it is stated that
he has promised to send a special mcs-
sago to congress suggesting a compro
mise upon wmcn ms party may agree.
commissioner ot rensions ltaum is
lo receive a coat of whitewash froii
the House committee on Pensions, the
republicans haying decided that to bo
the easiest way of stopping the' ugly
talk about tho favoritism and other
crookedness in the Pension Office. The
publio will not be so lenient if Repre
sentative Cooper can substantiate his
charges, and he is positive that he
can.
it having alroady become annarent
that the high price of bullion silver
will make tho new silver law a dead
letter, Senator Morgan has introduced
a bill for the free coinage of silver. It
is the same bill which the Senate has
once pasted: but it is by no means cor
taiu tnat tne republicans will again
support li.
Senator h rye has received another
letter from Mr. Blaine on tho recinro
city question. Tho "protection" theory
seems to be playing out- What the
republican party will scare up for an
issue at tne next election is not appar
ent. Mr. Blaine's letter was an abso
lute free trade document, olthongh not
to be too sudden, he suggested the ex-
luuoiuu ui uuuiiuerciai uueny only to
the countries of this continent. He
gives Senator Fryo the credit of having
more sense than the other republican
senators, and thus excuses himself for
addressing his letter to him. He says
that this nation is fond of sugar, and
that tho revenue collected from that
article last year was S58.000.000. It'i
the subject of debate in tbe Senato at
present, and benator Aldrich aud bis
colleagues on tho Finance committee
are trying to agree on a reciprocity
amendment to the McKinlev tariff bill.
ont ao not want to havo it labeled
"Blame s scheme.
It stands thers vet as "unfinished"
The most common sense view of the
matter was rendered by Senator Vance
lie said mat tbe removal of unneces
sary taxes was a matter of wisdom.
and that to coutinue to collect them
was not to be tbonght of for a moment.
But those who would think so "would
reckon without their host." That had
been proved by the history of tbe
tariff commission of 1882, which had
ntterly ignored the wants of the people
and thought only of tho wants and
wishes of the manufacturers. What
the peoplo desired was a common sense
reduction of the revenuo, and a corres
ponding relief of the payment of taxes,
but the taking off of twooents a pound
to the sugar producer, on tho other,
was not tho way to do it, under that
system the taxes remained and the
people had lo pay them. Agriculture
supplied 75 per cent of tho foreign ex
ports of this country, and the arrange
ment of the tariff prevented suoh trade"
trom being quadrupled, by precluding
other nations from exchanging their
products lot thoso of America; and
that the only possible effect of the
McKinley bill was to aggravate the
evil.
But refenncto Mr. Blaine's bitfr
be said that if it wero important to ex-
tena American traae to uentral and
South America, it could not bo unim
portant to exlend it to the European
continent, wnere tne wealth and pop
uiaiion was ten times as great.
I he poor old MoKmley bill cannot
find a friend. Senators Allison and
Pierce are down on it, and everybody
is ashamed to be identified with 't.
The Lodge federal election bill is
also knocked out. Tho Sub-committee
of tbe Senate have mutilated it with
amendments that it will hardly bo re
cognizea.
lho nice little scherao which Mr,
Blaino hatched up tobavo Congress
charter an International American
bank, with his personal friends and
political supporters as othcials, stand
very little show of being endorsed by
Congress.
Senator Morgan, a member of tbe
Senate committee on Foreign Affairs,
says, mere win bo no war with
England: but that if there should be,
Russia would, in honor bound, bo
compelled to become our ally.
The prize of 40,000 francs offered
by tbe trench Academy for some
certain test of death, looking to the
prevention of burial alive, was given
to a physician, who announces that
on holding the hand oi the suppoied
dead person to a strong light, if liv
ing, a scarlet tinge is seen where the
fingers touch, showing that the blood
continues to circulate, thero being no
scarlet when the subject Is really dead.

to uay publishes tho following special
from Johnstown, Pa.: I spent several
hours to-day examining tho books and
accounts of the Johnstown Flood Fi
nanco Commlttoe, and tho figurfs hero
presented aro tho first that havo over
been printed of tho receipts nnd ox-
fciuliturcB of tho oommlttce.
TllO Linanco Commlttnn vni nnn.
izd on tho morning followinn the
flood aud tho first contribution for tho
sufferers wero received by it. As nt
rst constituted it consisted of tho men
oonncotod with tho banking institu
tions of tho town, but it was afterward
learned that several of tho most prom
inent bankors wero drowned. When
James B. Scott was mado direotor ho
changed tho complexion of tho wholo
committoo and mado James McMillan
nnd Cyrus Elder, two leading Cambria
ron Company men. President and
Seorctary, respectively. Funds (lowed
into this oommitteo freely for a few
days, but on the organization of tho
State Flood Commission most of tho
money was sent thero.
TDK AMOUNTS RKCE1VF.1) AND PAID OUT.
All told this committee has received
$350,821,27. Of this $158,050 was
paid out in the "$10-a-head distribu
tion" and this was tlio.ouly part of tho
fund that was applied directly to tbo
relief of tho people. Of tho remainder
8100,000 was expended by tho various
committees, clerk hiro and incidental
expenses, including $ 10,803. 0" paid to
the Firo Department and $28,608.11
paid iti the first few days for removing
tbo debris and dead bodies, and which
was afterward charged to the Stale,
but no settlement of this account by
the Stato has been mado and the pros
pects aro not good that it will ever bo.
Thero is yet in tho hands of lho com
mittoo about 5100,000, most of which
the committee intends to apply to
building bridges.
W11V THE COMMITTEE IS CniTICISED,
The action of tho committee in us
ing so much of this money for the Fire
Department, nnd especially for build
ing bridges, has been Boverly criticised
the claim which is seemingly well
founded being made that it does not
go to tho relief of the needy, but. in
stead, is adding to tho wealth of the
property holders and men of means by
relieving them of taxes, tho benefit
of which thoy will solely enjoy. This
committee has also been muoh criticis
ed because no statement of its work
was ever given to tho public, it only
bcing in a general way that the peoplo
were iniormeu vast mucn oi tne money
was being applied to building bridges
and the like.
The appointment bv tbo committoo
of II. W. Storrs, who was in their em
ploy as one of three members
of a committee to audit their
accounts, is also looked upon with dis
trust by many. Storrs, as Chairman
of a sub committee, had charge of tho
"$10 a head distribution," in whioh
nearly $160,600 was paid out, and it is
not considered exactly proper that ho
should audit his own accounts.
Just how muoh or how little this
Auditing Committee will find ont is
bard to tell, but with the mass of fig
ures presented to them it is boubtful if
they will discover, as I did to-day, that
a prominent citizen has drawn big pay
for several weeks from two committees
covering tbo same time.
THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS.
As to the receipts, money has been
received from nearly every State in tho
Union and from nearly every country
in the world. Pennsylvania leads,
with $81,502.38, Ohio sent $00,918.93,
New York follows with $52,425.00.
and New Jersey with $41.4C3.53. Of
JN0W York's share, however,Sfl,3G3.22
is oredited to the city. Of the Herald's
$30,303.54 fund, over half of it was re
ceived within a week after the Hood.
and the last remittance, of $1124.62,
was received from the London Bureau
on September 12.
CONTniUUTIONS KK0M THE DEAD.
Among other receipts $3145.49 was
handed over by th Morgue authorities
this morning, having been taken from
the bodies of the unidentified dead.
Among tho anonymous contributions
was one of $821 found in a bag of
beans.
In a superficial examination of these
icconnts it is observed that all receiv
ed pay for their work and that but
little work was done that was not paid
lor, even tbo citizens who assisted in
carrying their own dead in the first
days sending in a bill.
An auditing of the accounts of this
committee is promised soon, and per
haps a full statement will then be pub-
usueu.

scrofula, be sure to try Hood's sarsaparllla.
" My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months
old till she became six years ot age. Lumps
formed In her neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeon's egg, became
a running sore for oTer three years. We gate
her Hood's Sarsaparllla, when the lamp and
all Indications ot scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy
child." J. S. Caklile, ft'aurlght, N. J.
