Harrity, Member of National Committee. The State Central Democratic Committee, met in the Board of Trade Rooms at Harrisbnrg, Wednesday, January 20, and elected J. Marshall Wright, of Allentown, State Chairman, Benjamin M. Nead, of Ilarrisburg. re elected Secretary, and Secretary of State William F. Harrity, elected member of the National Democratic Committee to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Win. I.. Scott. The meeting was called a few min utes after one o'clock, when upon call of the roll, it was found that all the Chairmen, or substitutes, were present, except the member from Sullivan county. There were contests from Allegheny, Philadelphia and Schuylkill counties on the question of admitting members from senatorial districts in which the county chairman resided, and which he represented by virtue of his office, thus giving those districts two votes in the State Committee. The chairman appointed A. H. Cofl'roth, Somerset; John M. O'Brien, Philadelphia; John C. Bane, Washington; J. H Fullmer, Lycoming, and Ed. F, Kane, North ampton; as committee on contested seats. The report said : The Committee met and heaid the respective claims of gentlemen from Allegheny, Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Westmoreland, Carbon and Fulton counties for and against the claimants. The question to be decided from the contests named, Allegheny, Philadel phia, and Schuylkill counties is as to the construction of rule five of your committee. In the contests from Car bon and Schuylkill counties the title to seats is contested by reason of alleged irregularities in the election of the tlil ferent claimants. In Fulton county there is no contest, the question being the liability of L). C. Downing, the substitute, to follow instructions sent your chairman from Clement Chestnut, the county chairman. In reference to the first contest the committee recommend that Allegheny, Philadelphia and Schuylkill counties be entitled to one member from each senatorial district, of whom the county chairman shall be one, and that, there fore, the claims of Bernard McKenna, of Allegheny, John J. Hand, of Schuyl kill, B. F. Byers, Westmoreland, lor seats in the committee, be not allowed. In the Carbon county case the com mittee recommends the admission of John W. Eser, substitute for Frank P. Sharkey, chairman of the county com mittee. In the Fulton county matter we report that B. Downey is the duly named substitute of Clement Chestnut as per telegrams. . John M. O'Brien, E. F. Kane, min ority members of the committee, con cur in the foregoing report except as to the Carborn county contest, and re commended that Michael Cassidy be recognized and admitted as a member of the committee from said county as the duly selected chairman. NOMINATING A CHAIRMAN. The repot on contested seats having been disposed of by the adoption of the majority on all except the Carborn contest, and the minority report hav ing been adopted in that case, State Chairman Kerr stated that the next business was the election of a state chairman for the ensuing year. Hon. W. Rush Gillan of Franklin county, a substitute for John A. Shoe maker, placed in nomination the pres ent chairman Hon. James Kerr. Ilis nomination was seconded by John C. Bare of Washington county. James I,. Corbett, of Citeen, hastily moved that Mr. Kerr be elected by acclama tions. Before this motion was second ed. T. F. Baker of Union county arose and nominated J. Marshall Wright of Leghigh county, his nomination was seconded bv Attorney General Hcnsel n substitute for lohn E. Maloiv.' of Lancaster county. Upon call of the roll the result was as follows : Wrieht - - 44 Kerr - - 3 Meyerss - - 1 Not voting - - - i Absent - - 1 On motion of W. J. Brennen of Al legheny the election of Mr. Wright was made unanimous. H. A. Hall, of Elk county, nominal ed Wro. F. Harrity to fill the vacancy on the national commitlee. He was elerted by acclamation. 'J 'he State Convention will be held at Harrisbnrg April 13. THS DIFFICULTY WITH CHILI It was expected that President Har rison would send a message to Con gress on Tuesday concerning the Chili an trouble, but it was not done as Senor Montt, the Minister from Chili, has requested an extension and given assurances that an apology and full re paration will be made Speaking of the situation the Philadelphia Press says : Instead of seeking war, President Harrison has been anxiously endeavor ing for three months to avoid it. The situation has been most dillicult. Our sailors are attacked in Valparaiso and done to death solely and only because they wore our uniform. Those who slipped it off escaped. The Chilian police, dealing with the mob of 1000, according to Chilian reports, attacking a lew sailors, arrests twenty three sail ors and a half dozen rioters. The ri oters reach jail unwounded. Every sailor is wounded. Several have stabs and bullet wounds which match police weapons. At the station, beds, band ages and hospital care are all denied by 1 he police to dying Americans, though pleaded for by their surgeons. Contrary to custom in Valparaiso, the presence of an officer is denied at the examinatio.1 of these sailors. For a month the officers and men of the Baltimore are imprisoned on their own vessel. The mob holds the streets. 1'he Governor (Intciulente) of Valpar aiso tartly tells Commander Schley that if his officers and men come ashore it is at their peril All this takes place in a city whose newspapers for ten years have teemed with abuse of this country, in which the American Consul reports he is un safe without a guard, and under a Gov ernment which has notoriously oppos ed itself to the policy of the United States in seeking fr er trade, arbitra tion of all difference, and uniform public international regulations be tween American rei. ubhes. For years Chilian papers have declared that the Chilian navy could sweep ours from the Pacific and levy a contribution on San Francisco. The Chilian people have certainly believed this, and the Chilian Government has acted as if it did. Under all these exasperating cir cumstances, which would have led a Government of ordinary prudence and discretion to avoid the appearance of offense and discharge punctiliously all diplomatic obligations, the Chilian Ad ministration has expressed neither re gret nor apology. Diplomatic usage, which requires the offer of an indem nity in case of damage to citizens of a friendly power by a not, if proved has been set at naught. The notes ad dressed to our Government have been studiously curt, insulting and offensive. Not satisfied with this, a note now withdrawn, every word a veiled insult- has been communicated to every Euro pean power. A guard is placed on the American Legation. The American Minister is insulted in public, his per son is unsaie at public ceremonials and members of his household are searched by the police. Government news papers teem witn bellicose predic tions. At length a Chilian squadron is ostentatiously sent to sea with scal ed orders. From a power equal to the United States these provisions would long since have led to war. No European power would have endured them. A fleet and an ultimatum would have long since appeared off Valparaiso. Instead our Government has waited. It re moved the Baltimore and replaced it by a fresh vessel and crew only to tind it was our uniform, and not the com mander and crew involved in a casual row for which the streets of Valpar aiso were unsafe. A Provisional Government has been permitted to give way to a regular Administration No fleet has been gathered. Our ves sels, however, ready for action, have been studiously disposed so as to con vev no threat. Diplomotic correspon dence has gone on through the usual channels. Our Minister has not been withdrawn. The pride and suscepti bilities of Chili have been consulted at every point. In securing the safety of the refugees in our legation all forms have been waived in asserting the right of asylum, so its substan tial reality was conceded by Chili. As it is. Chili has had the impertin ence to protest against the salute of the Yorktown to the Spanish Minister because it was anxious that his visit to-the gunboat with a refugee should be held a personal act and not an of ficial call as Minister. If, in spite of all this, Chili refuses the apology and regret required by countless precedents, and uniform ity practiced in like circumstances by this country, war, if it comes, wii "exist by the act of" Chili, and not of the United States. We trust even then it may be avoided. It would be a noble and notable proof of generous national confidence in arbitration if a wronged, insulted and powerful nation were to propose this course. But this would only be possible if Chil were to agree to the principle ot arbitration which her representatives two years ago at the Washington Conference ostentatiously scouted when it was proposed by the United States. The United States has nothing to gain bv war. Its result could make no plainer than is to day the prepon derating powet of the United States in a hemisphere half of whose popula'ion is in its territory and an even larger proportion of wea'th and resources. No injury inflicted on Chili could m ike 11:1 for the damage war, however brief, would work to the vast interests on sea and land of a great and peace ful people. By patient long-sulTering the United States for month has sought to avoid war It is Chili, and Chili alone, which to day provokes it. WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, D. C , Jan. iSth, 189J. The meeting of the National Demo cratic Committee to be held here this week to decide .vherethe National con vcntion shall be held, is exciting much interest. Arrangements have been pcriected by the local democrats to entertain the committee in tru demo cratic style. Washington would like to have the convention come here, but she will have to be contented with merely wishing for it, as it is regarded as being between New York and a western city, with the chancs decu'e lly in lavor 01 ew oik, snouui its rep reseniauves reauy wish 10 mane a winning fight. The interest in the meeting of the executive committee of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, which is also to be held here this week is only second to that felt in the meet ing of the National Committee. The purpose for which this meeting is held is not made public, further than that it is for the transaction of business important to the democratic clubs of the country. Its proceedings will, of course, be secret. Mr. Blaine endeavored to convince the House committee on Foreign Af fairs that the House ought to pass the bill pledging the endorsement of the Government to an issue of $100,000, 000 of the bonds of the Nicaragua canal company, but it was labor lost, as Representative Holman's resolu tion, which was adopted by the Hour-e has made it certain that no such scheme can get through that body. Representative Holman says his re solution against subsidies and govern ment aid of any kind to private indus tries, and against any appropriations not actually needed, which has been criticised in some quartern, will not interfere with the passage of a river and harbor bill or any other legiti mate appropriation, But it knocks the private schemes higher than a kite. Representative Alberson, of West Virginia, introduced a resolution in the House for the appointment of a committee of seven to investigate the charges of partisanship, mismanage ment and wastefulness which have been made against th.; Census bureau. The ex-Czar of the House is not to be allowed to monopolize the role of clown on the floor of the present House. He has a rival in the person of Representative Boutelle. of Maine, ho was so much worked up in his mind because the House adopted Rep resentative Holman s resolution against the government subsidies of all kinds, and against the appropriation of gov ernment money for anything except to carry on the necessary business of the government, that he took upon him self the task of making a funny speech to ease his mind. After serving the House with a sort of pot pourri, made f equal parts of Dickens, Edison s honograph and democratic economy, he jumped in over his head by hurling anathemas at the democratic party be cause Mrs. Flower, the wife of the present popular Governor of New York did not hnd the contents of the linen and china closets, as turned over by the retiring bachelor governor, to be as full and complete as she desired them to be. That was humor of the most subtle kind, wasn't it ? Boutelle is very ''funny", almost as comical as R?ed. There has been consideiable active maneuvering on the part of the repub lican bos-.es around here of late.

No slonc will be left un turned by the Indiana Senators to de feat the confirmation of Woods, but present indications are that the repub licans will vote solidly for his confir mation Having become satisfied that the Chilian minister has been "playing possom", as to the intentions of his country, the administration will, it is for the third or fourth time said, send the correspondence to congress this week with a message from Mr. Harri son recommending that war be de clared. Congress is ready to meet him more than halfway, if the corres pondence he of the nature it has been represented to be. A bill is pending in both house and Senate to repeal the law against the appointment of men who served in the Confederate Army and Navy to positions in the U. S. Army or Navy, in order that the Gov ernment may get the benefit of their services in the war with Chili, which is regarded as being almost a certainty. Speaker Crisp is, he thinks, well enough to resume his duties, but to take no chances of a relapse he will be entirely guided by the advice of his physician as to exposing himself.

If you're Buffering from functional disturbances, irregulari ties or weaknesses, you're- suro to "look it." And Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription is the remedy. It builds up and invigorates the system, regulates and promotes the proper functions, and restores health and strength. It's a legitimate medicine, not a beverage ; purely vegetable, perfectly harmless, and made especially for woman's needs. In tho cure of all " female com plaints," it's guaranteed to give sat isfaction, or the money is refunded. No other medicine for women is sold so. Think of that, when the dealer says something else (which pays him better) is "just as good." " Times havo cl.anged." So have methods.

Unless we ap ply a remedy now, the day is not far distant when our pleasure of hunting will be confined to the absorbing pages of 1 heodore Koosevelt s most interesting books on big game. There are three matters which in my opinion, should govern the rulings or every game state in this country, and form the basis of strict laws. First. Seasons laid out on a sports manlike basis, and by men familiar with the subject. Second. Game wardens of good character, and not reformed thieves, who shall have pecuniary interest in all the fines their vigilance brings about, and who shall be severely punished for neglect of their duty. Third. Eveiy man convicted of a violation of the game laws should have a sentence 'of imprisonment as well as a fine; this would nut a functus on those wealthy city 'sportsmen" who willingly pay a lew dollars for the privilege of bagging big game; it would likewise sa- e the game districts of our country wpcr'a Weekly.

REMOVE THE CAUSE.--It is no doubt the correct thing to treat the symptoms of a disease, but this is not effective unless the cause of the complaint is removed. For in stance, a fever may be treated with quinine, etc., but unless the cause is removed the fever will surely return. Again, the sores and eruption of Scrof ula may be healed by mercury and potash treatment, but unless the cause of these symptoms is cleansed from the system, they will return or attack some of the delicate internal organs. Swift's Specific strikes at the cause of the trouble, and forces out the germs of disease, and the poison through the pores of the skin, and at the same time builds up the general health of the sufferer. Swift's Specific is a purely vegetable remedy, and is harmless to the most delicte, yet it never fails to eliminate the poison from the human body.
