It is urged by your County Chair man that you organize "Bryan and Stevenson Clubs" in every election district in Columbia County. Do this at once. C. A. Small, County Chairman. The Columbian is for the Dem ocratic ticket national, state and county. The names of all candi dates will be hoisted in due time. They arc omitted lor the present, because they occupy space without serving any good purpose so long before the election. James J. Corbett had an easy time with "Kid" McCoy Thursday night last. The bout only lasted five rounds, and in every one he bested his oppouuit. By this vic tory Corbett places himself in line for a go with the more pretentious pugilists. If Jeffries wishes to de fend the championship he will have to accept Corbett's challenge. Cor bett showed great speed and power in the leceut battle, and there are lots of people? who believe he can whip the present champion. A newspaper may publish column alfter column i:i laudation of a man or firm and they think it is only a duty you o.we to the public to com mend them; but when these same persons have any printing to do the newspaper is forgotten, or should the editor print one line that can be construed as a reflection, they are up on their high horse in a min ute, and all the good things you have said count for naught, and yet a majority of the people will claim that they like to see a paper fearless, independent and outspoken. IT'S ALLPUT ON. Republicans are pretending to be very confident of McKinley's elec tion, but they are not near so sure as their talk would seem to indicate. The result of the election up in Vermont on Tuesday was not the landslide they were counting on, but on the contrary, the gains were all on the Democratic side. It is an old trick to pretend confidence, because it inspires trust 111 a cause that is not sure of success. They would like to have it appear that (iu their minds) McKinley's sec ond term is a foregone conclusion, but the very next minute, perhaps, they can be heard reviewing the many dangers of defeat. Different From What it Used to Be. The lumber dealer, from Shamo kin, who represented this district in Congress two terms, and who is known throughout those four comi ties by the name of "Farmer," has evidently outlived his popularity, as can be seen from the report of the Northumberland County Re publican Convention, which we ex tract from the Mt. Cannel Aercs, a Republican paper. It says : "Farmer Kulp was very much in evidence at the Convention and very much out of place. He was very much desirous of being a fac tor in the proceedings, but soon realized that he was a back number and without a following. His ft antic efforts to have Quay endorsed and his dismal failure must have been galling to the old tinie favorite of Northumberland County Republicans. How aie the mighty fallen ! His report to Sena tor Penrose, in confirmation of his it-ported expression to the Senator last winter, that he could have the county whenever he wanted it, will be somewhat meager and unsatis factory." Republicans Endows Huth for OoDgress. The Republican conferees of this Congressional district met at Danville on Friday. W. H. Wood in of Ber wick, was elected president and A. W. Duy of Bloomsburj, wis chosen sec retary. Balloting for a candidate was commenced. The first or, e resulted in the conferees of this and Mnmnur county voting for William J. Baldy of lAtnv.ue, anti those of Northumber land and Sullivan countv for ri.-ironr F. Huth of Shamokin. On the second uaiioi me latter was the unanimous choice. Mr. Huth made a short ad dress in which he thnnL-pd bic fri-n.b for their support. There will be very nine interest so far as the congress ional fight is concerned this fall. The ercat ponularitv rd" Jinn p,,i. v Polk, throughout the district will make me contest a one sided affair. WASHINGTON. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Sept. 3, 1900. Mr. McKinley and his Cabinet, or rather the five members of it who are in Washington, have been giv a continuous diplomatic performance this week. They have been holding daily sessions one day they held two sessions to wrestle with com munications from the imperial part ners with whom Mr. McKinley has been doing business in China. The contents of those communications have not been made puolic, but the semi-official news disseminators say they relate to a united agreement for a settlement of questions relating to China, and that the Emperor ot Germany now stands obstinately in the way of an immediate settlement. That may or may not be true, but there are reasons for the belief that the Emperor of Germany, or any body else, who prevents an agree ment that would necessitate a show down of the administration's Chinese hand until after the Presi dential election would be regarded by Mr. McKinley as an almighty good find. Washington is entirely in the dark as to what is going on in and around Pekin, as no telegrams have come through that were not more than a week old when received and they contained little that was im portant. History teaches that it is the usual thing for nations to do what their rulers had declared they would not do. Perhaps that is why so little attention has been given to the declarations of the diplomats of the allied nations as to the intentions of their resiiective governments in China. This government was first to declare that it wanted no Chinese territory and that it was opposed to any other nation taking any; that was followed by similar declarations from Germany and Japan, and now Russia has come forward to say that it wants nothing but peace and the preservation of the Chinese Empire, and that it stands ready to give up the Chinese territory it recently seiz ed to restore order. These have been official statements publicly made. England is said to agree with them, although no official statement to that effect has been made public and there are some rumors to the contrary. It must be apparent to the observant that if those five gov ernments really held the sentiments expressed by them, there would be no further talk about a general land grab in China; they have the power to compel a settlement on the lines they wish. That there is continued talk is why it is believed that these official utterances have merely been made for effect to keep the world in the dark while the plans for cut ting up China are perfected. Representative Davey, of La., was at democratic Congressional headquarters this week. He said of the republican claim of La. Con gressional districts: "The Republi can National Committee were told some time ago that the second and third districts would be republican; also the sixth. I do not understand why all the La. districts were not included in the claim. Personally, I have 110 doubt about all six of the La. democrats being re-elected. The republicans in La. are united this year, but that will not win them any Congressional seats." The Democratic Campaign Text- Book is ready for distribtion. It is a very warm book of fifty chapters, seventeen of which are devoced to imperialism. One chapter is devot ed to evidence showing the exist ence of a secret alliance between the McKinley administration and Great Britain; the Porto Rican leg islation, which is described as im perialism applied", gets several chapters and one of the longest cnapters is given up to republican stealing in Cuba. Other chapters show the attitude of the republican party toward trusts; railroad dis criminations in favor of trusts, the proposed ship subsidyjob, etc. The book is a corker. Representative Hay, of Va., who is recognized as one ol the best friends of the National Guard in Congress, says in a signed state ment on the dangers of militarism: The republican party advocates a large and permatient standing army and it will insist upon a large in crease in the standing army, should it continue 111 power. Apart from the immense cost which such a military establishment would entail permanently 011 the government the effect of its maintenance would be to discourage the formation of Na tional Guard organizations, and to sap the military spirit of our people. This large standing array is neces sarily a part of the imperial and military system which the present administration is seeking to force upon the country. It is an open "The Prudent Man Setteth His House in Order' Your humAix tenement should be given even more careful attention than the house you live in. Set it in order by thoroughly renovating your whole system through blood made pure by taking Hood's Sarsapariila. Then every organ will Ad promptly and regularly. secret that the people who are advo cating this system desire to use these troops at home as well as abroad, for the suppression of the liberties of the people. The policy of the democratic party is to oppose militarism, and it denounces in its national platform the maintenance of a large standing army." Representative Gaines, of Tenn., has been looking up Mr. McKin ley's inconsistent record on the trust question. He finds that Mr. Mc Kinley declared in a speech in the House, May 18, i8SS, that Con gress had the power to crush home trusts. Mr. Gaines also asks very pertinently why Mr. McKinley has done nothing toward crushing the trusts since he became President, and why he should be a trust fol lower instead of a party leader? Mr. McKinley has been inconsist ent on almost every important pub lic question. He can't help it. By nature he is a wobbler.

Judge Fanning of Towanda filed an opinion on Monday in the case of the Common weath vs. E. L. Smith, in which the compulsory education law and the act requiring vaccination came into conflict. Smith declined to have his son vaccinated, and the boy was refused admission to the school. The School Board brought a prosecution and recovered $2, the penalty lor non attendance. Judge Fanning's opinion reverses this judgment, holding that the vac cination law is not mandatory, but optional, and that Smith did all the law required in sending his son to school, although he was refused ad mission. This is the first decision in the state where the two acts came into conflict.

The length of the vein is not known, but is supposed to extend to the mountain a considerable distance away. Thomas Tigue, of Pittston, was instantly killed Monday at one of the mines of the Butler Company. He was engaged in a stripping where the surface is removed from the coal, when the embankment fell in and he was horribly crushed. Walter Wagner, a son of Ex State Senator S. C.

Weiss, of the Dauphin County Court, doesn't pro pose to permit foreigners who are allied with anti-government societies to take out naturalization papers. On Monday his investigation of the ap plicants for citizenship was quite searching, and the Italian contingent was questioned particularly as to their connection with organizations of an anarchistic tendency. None admitted membership in anti-government so cieties and the Court passed them. Mure Straudril Tourists. TAU1S, Auc 31.
