WHAT A PROMINENT AGEIOULTUK
' I3T SAYS 1
To the citizens of Columbia county:
II the farmers and industrial peo
ple ot our Commonwealth desiie to
have a voice in the next Legislature
upon the important subject of revis
ing the tax laws so as to relieve the
home owners from unjust discrimina
tions, tney must act now, as those
who have ptofited by the discrimina
tion are already in the field to domi
nate the political conventions in the
selection of men favorable to their
interests.
The farmers and real estate owners
of our Commonwealth earnestly de
sire that the citizens of Columbia
county return to the Legislature that
able and earnest indefatigable worker
tor the agricultural and industrial in
terests, the Hon. W. T. Creasy.
If we expect to succeed in having
the tax laws of our state fairly revised.
we must send to the Legislature the
men whom we know will stand by the
ngnts 01 tne people.
Mr. Creasy having served several
terms in the Legislature eminently
qualities him for a legislator, and will
place him where he can render the
most eminent service in the interests
ot the home owners of our Common
wealth. Leonard Rhone,
Late Master of Pa. Grange,
Centre Hall, Pa.
WASHINGTON.
Fromour RoffularCorrcsponrtotit.
Washington, May 7, 1900.
Does the administration really favor
the Nicaragua Canal ? In view of the
known condition of public sentiment,
that question may sound odd, but
there wete things said in the debate
which preceded the passing of the
Nicaragua Canal bill by the House
which made it pertinent. Represent
ative Hepburn, of Iowa, who was in
charge of the bill, had a sensational
row with representative Cannon, of
111., a man close to the administration,
whom he charged with working in the
interest of the Panama Canal ring, in
trying to defer action on the bill.
Representative Burton, of Ohio, also
a man close to the administration.
made a speech against naming the
route of the canal in the bill. These
things were enough to arouse the sus
picion that the administration was not
acting in good faith, and there were
others. It is said that the failure of
the Canal Commission to make a pre
liminary report was owing to a hint
from the administration. Perhaps
Boss Hanna thinks of working the
Panama Canal Company for a big
campaign contribution. At any rate,
it is well known that the bill just pass
ed by the House will not be acted
upon by the Senate at this session.
Cupt. Chadwrtk has found out that
the protection extended to Rear Ad
miral Sampson by the administration
does not include all of Sampson's
friends. Secretary Long's letter re
primanding Chadwick the second
time within a year lor the fame of
fense published this week, for slur-
ing at Reai Admiral Schley, was about
as stinging a document as was ever
sent by a Secretary of the Navy to an
officer; but the universal verdict is
that Chadwick got no more than he
deserved.
Senator Sewell, of N. J., has more
nerve than most of the republican
Senators on the trust question. His
republican colleagues work for the
trusts on the quiet, but he had the
audacity to say in a speech on the
floor of the Senate that the Standard
Oil trust and the Sugar trust were
public benefactors. A few more bene
factors like them and there will be no
more trusts. Benefactions of the sort
they bestow contain the germs ol
revolution. Senator Pettigrew pre
sented figures showing that neither of
the trusts named by Mr. Sewell had
done anything which was not directed
toward the crushing out of competition
and the increase of their own profits
From every direction comes the
strongest evidence that the republi
cans have a hard fight before them.
Nobody realizes this any better than
Boss Hanna, and he is frank enough
to say so. That there is a general
revolt against the policies and prac
tices of the McKink administration,
is certain, although its strength is as
yet uncertain. Mr. H. J. Jackson,
a business man of Fall River Mass.,
has been showing, his Washington
friends a letter written him by a
prominent citizen of Massachusetts,
from which the following is quoted:
"From this distance it looks as though
the game of national politics is going
to be a hard one for President Mc-
Kinley to play thi year. The com
ing of the Boer emisaries seems likely
to stir up a hornet's nest among the
Irishmen and the German-Dutch
sympathizers of the Boers in this
country. The longer the war contin
ues the stronger the American senti
ment seems to grow against England."
Mr. Jackson says of the political out
look: "The republicans are going to
have trouble in New England. There
are a great many causes to which this
can be attributed." Yes, and they are
going to have trouble in all the other
sections of the country, and they are
only going to get what they deserve.
The United States Supreme Court
after spending two davs hearing argu
ments in the Kentucky case, took a
recess until May 14, when the decis
ion will probably be made public.

terest the public to know that two
thousand stockings were sent out in

So I return it, garter and all.
The fact is, I would have been exceedingly

It it had not been for my feet."
"Your library scheme
Comes back like a dream,
Hut where I had heard
The magical word,
I declare I can't tell.
Rut Franklin once snid,
'Take care of the pence,
And as for the pounds,
Let them look to themselves,'
And the saying is well.
So here g'es to the pence,
You look to the pounds,
And your library scheme
May not end as a dream,
And all may be well."
