The Senate has finally passed the
Hou.e bill authorizing Count
Commissioners to pay constables
lor services rendered in making re
turns to the Court of elections and
for attending general, special, bor
ough, township and ward ce:tions
and traveling expenses since Jan
uary 1st 1897, in all cases where
the same remain unpaid.
The Frohibitionists in convention
on Thursday last nominated the
following state ticket: For Supreme
Court Judge, Isaac Monderan of
Meadviile: State Treasurer, J. J.
Porter of Pittsburg. Charles R.
Jones ot Philadelphia was re-elected
State Chairman. A platform de
nouncing all parties and demanding
an equal rights ballot was adopted.
PHILADELPHIA AE0USED. j
When the political machine in
Philadelphia unceremoniously side- !
tracked District Attorney P. F.
Rothermel for renomination. it was I
the last straw, and the people of
that citv were at last aroused from
their lethargy. They found them
selves in the hands of a f,rang back
ed by the Governor, the two United
States Senators, the Legislature, the
Mayor and the City Councils,
through whose machinations the
city had been robbed of millions ot
dollars by the street railway legis
lation. Then in order to prevent
prosecutions for bribery and other
corruption, it was necessary to get
rid of Mr. Rothermel, an upright,
able and fearless official, and to put
in his place a tool of the machine.
Such a person was found in an un
known lawyer named Weaver, who
was nominated for District Attorney
by the Republican convention. A
mass meeting was held in the Aca
demy of Music last Thursday night,
and Mr. Rothermel nominated, and
he has accepted. Measures are being
taken for a vigorous campaign, and
a full State and City ticket will be
naaied, which will be supported by
all independent Republicans, and
which ought to have the unqualified
endorsement of the Democrats. As
the Democratic ringsters of Phila
delphia are as corrupt as the ma
chine, and stand in with the latter
in all jobbery, no doubt the Ryan
Donnelly organization will do all in
its power to force the nomination of
a straight Democratic ticket in order
to insure the election of the machine
Republican candidates.
This gang ought to be repudiated
by the State Democratic organiza
tion, and it looks as though it will
be. It is with the connivance of
such men that the Democratic vote
in Philadelphia is almost out of
sight. The Democracy rmit shake
them off if it ever hopes to succeed.

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, July 1, iqoi.
Secretary Gage is chafing under
the muzzle that has been put upon
him by the Administration, and
some predict that it may result in
his resignation. Since turning the
matter over to the diplomatic corps
of the Government with the hope of
reaching a satisfactory settlement
of the tariff war with Russia, into
which Sec'y Gage's blunderiug con
struction of law plunged this coun
try, President McKinley informed
Secretary Gage that he must cease
talking Jfor publication about the
acts which led to the tariff war.
This Mr. Gage is inclined to regard
as a double reflection on his judg
ment, but whether he will take it
seriously enough to resign is not
yet apparent. Those best informed
express the opinion that the inter
ests wich placed Mr. Gage in charge
of the financial branch of the gov
ernment will intervene, if neces
sary, to prevent his resigning, as
they do not wish to take any chanc
es with a new man.
The Republican fight over the
control of the Pension Bureau is
growing sensational, Commissioner
Evans last week made a statement
his first public resistance to the
demand for his removal that
breathes defiance between the
lines and may be ronsidered a dare
to President McKinley to redeem
the written promise of the Republi
can Nat'l Committee to Geu. Daniel
E. Sickles, during the campaign
last year, that Evans would not be
continued at the head of the Pension
Eure'u during his administration,
if Mr. McKinley were elected. Mr.
Evans intimates that in addition to
the desire of the pension sharks to
control the work of the Pension
Bureau there are Republican poli
ticians who wish a change because
they have not been allowed to dic
tate in defiance of law appointments
and promotions in the bureau.
Taken all in all this statement ol
Mr. Evans would be "hot stuff" in
much colder weather than that
which Washington is now passing
through, and his friends say he has
unlimited amunitiou for more ot the
same sort and that having become
tired ot being abused for doing his
duty and standing between the Gov
ernment and a ring of pension
luoters, he will use it without regard
to who is hit if the fight against him
is kept up. Democrats are playing
the role of interested spectators iu
this fight. Gen. Sickles, who used
to be a Democrat, and who is a
leader on the anti-Evans side, was
a McKinley stumper both iu 1S96
and 1903. and 'Corporal" Tanner,
who seems to be second in com
mand, is a Republican who was
summarily kicked out of the office
of Tension Commissioner by the
late Benjamin Harrison for doing
the very thing that Evans is being
iougni tor not doing.
The opinion is increasing among
democrats that the republican taU
about revising the tariff so as to hit
trust-controlled articles is nothing
more than a vote-making bluff. In
many Congressional districts in the
west aud middle-west there is a
strong sentiment among the repub
lican voters against trusts. It is to
keep this vote from being lost to the
party that the tariff revision talk
was started, and it is expected that
a considerable number of republican
Representatives from that section
will make speeches during the com
ing session of Congress in favor of
taking the duty off trust controlled
articles, not because they expect or
really desire any legislation along
that line, but because the speeches
will make good campaign documents
in uext year's Cougressioual fight.
It seems that" Secretary Gage's
order imposing a countervailing
duty on Italian sugar, on the sus
picion that Italy was paying an ex
port bounty on sugar, was as big a
blunder as that he made about Rus
sian sugar. The Italian govern
ment has officially informed this
government that it does not pay a
bounty on sugar exported, just as
Russia did. Matters of this sort are
too important and far reaching in
their effect to be determined upon
without absolute knowledge of the
facts.
Within a few days, probably next
week, the advisory headquarters of
the Ohio republicans will be estab
lished in the Canton home of Presi
dent McKinley, aud the adviser-in-chief
will be no less a personage
than President McKinley himself.
Although there is no national issue
involved in the Ohio campaign this
year, unless the election of a legis
lature that will name Senator For
aker's successor can be considered
such, President McKinley is very
anxious that the republicans shall
win, not that he would grieve to see
Foraker lose his seat in the Senate,
but because of its moral effect on
the Congressional campaign of next
year. As a shrewd politician he
recognizes that unless the republi
cans can retain control of Congress
many ot his plans concerning the
Philippines will be upset, as he has
no idea that all those plans will be
put into effect through legislation by
the present Cougress.

Espy and its Long-liied Inhabitants-
The little town of Espy, this coun
ty, says the Berwick Enterprise, affords
a remarkable instance where longevity
among the inhabitants seems to be
the rule. The town has a population
cf a trifle more than 400 souls. In
the place there are eight persons over
eighty years of age, thirty-two over
seventy years and sixtv-five over sixty
years. A safe average of the 105
persons in question is 71 years, which
is certainlv hard to beat in a town
of less than 500 population. Good
sanitation must obtain in Espy a'.on
with a general observance of the rules
of health.
