The latest from Harrisburg says that the Beaver Boss, is further away from the United States Senator-ship than he has been at any time since the con test began. The machine has tried all sorts of tricks to capture votes for Quay, but has failed in every instance. The Democrats are making a noble stand and their ranks remain un broken. In an interview on the sub ject Wednesday evening Mr. Wana maker said, "The Legislature is not in the vest pocket ot Quay- Andrews set as the last one was. The Demo crats are magnificent in their steady purpose to hold together and determ ined not to be made responsible for hitching up the State for six years more to the Quay crowd." It is very evident that nothing but crookedness can pull him through. A Bit of Gall. The Executive Committee of the Republican State Committee is com posed entirely of Quay adherants. Last week they issued an appeal to the anti-Quay members of the Legis lature urging them to come back un der the yoke and support Quay. The concluding words ot this document are somewhat remarkable, and exhibit an unusual amount of gall, even for the Republican party. They are as follows : "In this connection we cannot re frain from protesting against the course pursued by certain persons who, though claiming to be Republicans, have de voted their best endeavors toward dis rupting the party and defeating its candidates. We refer particularly to John Wanamaker, who, during the late campaign, not only refused to aid or contribute to the Republican State Committee, but traversed the State from one end to the other seeking to defeat our gallant standard bearer, Colonel William A. Stone. Though unsuccessful in his endeavor, he has the assurance to invade the capital of the State and seek to control the action of the Republican Legislature." "We denounce his presumption, as well as that of his attorney, James Gay Gordon, who, having been re pudiated by the Democratic party as an aspirant for the Governorship, now visits Harrisburg and in conjunction with his chief seeks to dictate the course of procedure ot the two great parties. We call upon the Republi can members of the two houses to repudate this officious interference with their prerogatives, and urge them to stand by and sustain the action of their party's representatives in i caucus assembled in accordance with party laws and usages." "On behalf of the Executive Com mittee of the Republican State Com mittee." The arrogance of the machine is here exhibited to its fullest extent. It is a fair example of the way the lash is applied to all Republicans who have the courage to kick over the traces, and oppose the corrupt workings of the machine. If John Wanamaker wants reform in the state government, why has he not 'the .right to "traverse the state" and say so ? Is there no political liberty in Pennsylvania. But Wanamaker even has the "as surance to invade the capital of the state, and seek to control the action of the Republican legislature." It is a crime in the eyes of this committee for Wanamaker to do exactly what they are trying to do. The Republi can party has run and controlled Pennsylvania so long that they think they own it, and that no one else has any right to put an obstacle in the way ot their continued plunder. And Judge Gordon too, comes in for a share of their vituperation. He has the audacity to visit Harrisburg without their permission, and to "seek to dictate the course of procedure of the two great parties." It is a good sign for the future when the "Execut ive Committee of the Republican State Committee" is forced to resort to such efforts to bolster up the chances of their boss. Meanwhile it is probable that John Wanamaker and Judge Gordon will go to Harrisburg whenever it suits their pleasure, and to use every effort in their power to defeat Quay, without asking the per mission of this Executive Committee. February is the shortest month this year in more, ways than one. It has three holidays, four half hol idays, and four Sundays. The Government, bank and Court House clerks will have ample time for recreation. THE UPPEE END. Considerable interest is manifested in the contest for U. S. Senator. It begins to look as though Quay is a back number. Benton, the metropolis of the tip creek country, is as neat an enterpris ing town as can be found out doors of any locality. As evidence of this we cite to the great activity manifest every day, when throngs ot people crowd the streets and thoroughfares and places of business. The mer chants and other business men are constantly kept busy waiting on them. 1 he drug store and Argus office are also well patronized by the public. Last, but not least, the public schools are also in a prosperous and progress ive condition, while as handsome and fine a lot of ladies greet the passerby, as can be found in any town in the State, or elsewhere. Winter has set in, in earnest. Quite a body of snow covers the ground, while a hard crust renders it rather difficult to break new ro?ds. Winter grain tnus lar nas not sunerea any damage by reason of freezing thawing. Many assert that the ages of the wheat fly will render crop a partial failure the coming and liar- vest. Much indisposition by reason of grip and other ailments is the cause of almost a general confinement of many families of this, and adjoining counties. Although the weather has not been extremely severe, with the exception of a day or two, it has thus far requir ed an immense amount of fuel by reason of so much windy weather. Sleighing at present is in prime condition, but the snow preceding this was called hence in a hurry, and went as fast as it came. j In the country districts, business is as dead as a "door nail," McKinley ism froze up all country booms. Even the sugar is sacked in one, five and ten pound sacks, and the country merchant is even lelieved from weigh ing out the sugar. Verily, the next we may expect the snow to come sacked. Many farmers along the B. & S. line, haul their coal directly from the breaker, at, or near Shickshir.ny. Last Wednesday morning, Jan. 1 1, the thermometer again dropped to 10 degrees below zero. It was a sneak ing, stingiug cold morning. Some school districts have dropped on the wage scle of teachers' salaries. This I think is a mistake. While it may be as much as teachers can earn under present depressing conditions; the state may also drop 00 state ap propriations in consequence. Since the state deals liberally with the people in this respect, the people should also deal liberally with teach ers. Already the candidates loom up for vacating positions in the various de partments of political preferment. The fountain of the stream of aspiration never dries up, no one need be pushed into the race, for all crowd therein, and stumble over one another in the scramble for office. It seems that the tiger blood never leaves the veins of the boss -M. S. Quay. He is a beliver in the all suf ficiency of honor, and is bound to have it, though he has to steal it. Well, honor is honor, though it be stolen honor, The Tubbs' Nathan, Peter and Tim, are engaged at Elk Grove, in the erection of abutments of two bridges; one at Elk Grove and the other at Central, on the new road from the latter place to the foimer.
