Ms love for American laborers by vot

which provided that no bounty could

coln. The Philadelphia Inquirer furnishes
very amusing reading these days. It
das always contended that Quay was
aot a boss; it has always resented any
:harge that there was machine rule in
this state, and it has always given its
mdlvided support to whatever Quay
demanded. Now, since Quay has been
compelled to throw Elkin overboard
m account of the bad repute he has
fallen into for obeying Quay's behests,
:he Inquirer just as vehemently insists
that Elkin shall not retire at the "dic
tation of Quay." Notwithstanding Its
former claims that there was no such
thing as boss in the Republican party,
t completely flops around by insinuat
ing ingratitude on the part of Quay,
and resents the effort of the "mailed
iand clutching the convention and
squeezing the liberty of action out of
it," and other like expressions. Lock

President Roosevelt's boasted back
hone seems to have deserted him and
he has yielded to the demand of the
pension attorneys and leaders of the
Grand Army of the Republic. He has
disgraced his administration by per
mitting these pension sharks to drive
Hon. H. Clay Evans out of office.
Svans stood for decency and economy
:n the pension offlce, and while he de
nied no man a pension that could
claim It rightfully or legally, he did
leny pensions to those not entitled to
them, and in this way incurred the dis
pleasure of the pension sharks. They
have succeeded in making things so
unpleasant that he has resigned. No
matter what honors may be conferred
on Mr. Evans by President Roosevelt
be cannot escape the shame and hu
miliation of yielding to a greedy gang
of pension looters. Memphis Commercial-Appeal

Senator Quay's friends and organs
are now taking care to declare, at his
instance, that no one who was re
sponsible for the legislature of 1901
should be considered In connection
with a place on the Republican state
Ucket, and that Attorney General El
Sin's connection with the legislature
la a sponsor and adviser is a fatal
weakness. We do not dispute the cor
rectness of this. The legislature of
t901 has gone into history as the worst
in the annals of Pennsylvania, or of
any other state, for that matter, But
what degraded it? Was it the power
and ascendancy of the senior senator
was it not Quayism? Elkin, of
-ourse, failed In his duty, but he did
so In his devotion to Quay. He had
harge of the senator's campaign for
e-election. It is a cool proceeding for
Quay to unload his sins on the devoted
lead of Elkin, and that is precisely
what he Is doing. Pittsburg Post.
But tho last defense, and the worst
of all is thU that It is Inevitable that
you cannot conquer those people any
ther way, and that if the work is to
e done, there is only one thing to do,
nd that is what has been done, and
i could road it to you, namoly: Enter
v village, surround it, take every house
here and set it on fire; let the wretch
id people escape with what they have
ipon their backs. Are there women
.n childbed? Send some soldiers in
md It has been done to take them
by the heels and drag them out and
leave them in the fields, while we sing,
"Nearer, My God, to Thee." It is to
close with these wretched creatures
and Induce them to raise a flag of
truce, and as they draw near, to shoot
:hern. It has been done. It Is to send
out scouting parties and simply slaugh
ter everything nbove 10 years old. It
reminds us a little of the story we
heard in the early chapters of St. Mat
thew, only Herod took them a little
younger; but General Smith thinks 10
years old and upward will do. Rev.

MR. QUAY AT HARRI3BURQ
The Came Old Storv to be Repeated
In 1902.
Under the heading "Mr. Quay at
Harrlsburg," the Philadelphia Ledger
on June 2, 1898, contained an able
editorial which, with the change of
half a doscn words, would be as apt
and as true today as it was four years
ago. Then Quay wanted to own a
governor, one he might use to give the
people a model administration. He Is
the same hypocritical, corrupt manipu
lator that he was then, with four years
more of political debauchery credited
to his disgraceful account Following
Is the Ledger editorial:
"Matthew Stanley Quay arrived in
Harrlsburg on Tuesday night, and la
now issuing orders for the conduct of
the Republican State Convention from
Ms headquarters at one of the hotels
at the state capital. Mr. Quay is a
United States senator, and has de
serted his poBt in the senate at a time
when the country Is engaged in the
most important business which has en-
listed its attention since the close of
the ltebelllon, to resume at Harrlsburg
the more congenial and for him the
more befitting occupation of the arch
political boss of the country, in order
to Berve his own ends and to perpetu
ate a political rule which is rapidly be
coming little less than Machiavellian
in Its sinister tendencies and results.
Whether Mr. Quay's candidate for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania be W. A. Stone
or any other subservient follower, Mr.
Quay's intrigues at Harrlsburg thia
.week will be those of the selfish spoils
man, and all his art and cunning will
be exerted to further his own interest
and to secure the succession to the
office of United States senator from
Pennsylvania, an exalted position, to
which he has added no lustre of states
manship, and to which he can bring no
respect and no dignity, and in which
h can rt.,,rp8(.nt nothing but decadent
politics and a legislature which,
through the blight of Quayism, will
mark how high the tide of legislative
incompetency and groveling vassalage
to unworthy leadership rose at the
close of the century.
"Mr. Quay's senatorial seat at 'Wash
ington, though his desertion from duty
there violates flagrantly his official
obligations, in another view of tho
case, has been appropriately vacated by
him. His absence from the senate
chamber will not be noted. If present
his contributions to the solution of the
grave problems that vex the country
would be insignificant and incon
sequential. As a constructive states
man he has been a monumental fail
ure. That he should be permitted to
represent Pennsylvania anywhere, in
any capacity, is a pitiful commentary
upon the intelligence and Judgment of
the community. The rise of Quay, his
long rule as a party autocrat, and the
apparent inability of the Republican
party hitherto to cast him off, suggest
a serious reflection upon our political
institutions. The perpetuation of the
insolent and corrupting regime which
stifles all political independence and
subordinates the principles, doctrines
and aims of a great party to the au
tocratic will, to the caprice and to the
selfish purposes of Matthew Stanley
Quay should be impossible in an in
telligent and self-respecting commun
ity. "A cynical philosopher challenged
the political proverb that the people
are always right, but admitted that
they would become so when fully in
formed and enlightened as to their true
interests. Revolt against discredited
and debasing party leadership some
times comes without much premoni
tion. The remarkable scries of in
forming addresses delivered by Mr.
Wanamaker have revealed to the peo
ple of Pennsylvania political condi
tions involving the honor of the Re
publican party, which ought to make
it exceedingly difficult for any self
respecting delegate at today's Repub
lican convention to foist upon the
party any candidate for governor, or
for any other state offlce, who is the
representative of Quayism. That po
litical trademark spells infamy, and It
should mean Inevitable defeat."
He Should Demand an Inqu'ry.
"If General Jacob H. Smith is a man
Jealous of his honor he will ask for a
court of Inquiry to disprove the allega
tion made by Major Waller that he.
General Smith, supplemented his pub
lished orders with oral instructions to
kill and burn indiscriminately. It he
does not ask for it the War Depart
ment should order it." Commercial,
According to recent report, General
Smith is to be recalled to this country
and given a comfortable home com
mand in which he can enjoy life after
his strenuous service In the Far East
What sort of feeling must the people
among whom he will come have for
him if he does not disprove the charge
that he gave the inhuman order to
"kill everybody over ten years of age"
In tue island of Samar? He denied at
the Waller court martial that he gave
orders to butcher prisoners, but sev
eral witnesses swore that he did.
The grounds upon which Waller was
acquitted have not been made public
as yet. He admitted that he killed de
fenseless prisoners in Samar without
trial, and acknowledged that he did
the same thing In China, as was done
after he was succeeded In command by
another officer. These are horrible
things for the American people to con
template. But, so far as known, the
chief point of Major Waller's defense
was that he acted under the orders
of his superior, Gen. Smith, an old
regular army officer. If Gen. Jacob H.
Smith does not ask for an Investiga
tion he should be required to submit to
one. Buffalo Courier.

the wife has no share in. Her day be
gins before his and ends long after it,
as a rule, and many a night her rest is

such a strain. What
can be expected then
of those women
who are weaken

Women
who are

weak women strong and
sick women well.

The dealer who offers a substitute for
"Favorite Prescription," is only seeking
to make the little more profit paid on
the sale of less meritorious medicines.

The Body Missing.
Harry Sweeger, Company A, Third
United States Cavalry, son of Wil
liam Sweeger, of Silver Spring, was
killed in action in the Philippines on
December 13, 1899. His parents
were soon notified of his death by the
War Department. Notice was finally
received that the body had been for
warded. Saturday morning the cas
ket arrived in Mtchamcsburg and was
taken charge of by h.s brother and
an undertaker.
Arrangements were then made for
a funeral servce. The casket was
hermetically sealed, and besides the
express companies' marks, was in
scribed with Sweeger's name, compa
ny and place from which shipment
was made.
When the casket was taken home
the father became suspicious, because
of its light weight. It was opened in
the presence of the family lawyer,
and to the dismay of the dead hero's
relatives was found to contain only
two pieces of linen. Information was
at once sent to the War Department
and a searching investigation will be
made.
The above article has since been
contradicted. The body of the soldier
was certified to be in the casket and
the story seems to have been made
out of the whole cloth, according to
the report of an official sent from
Washington to investigate the matter.
Eural Mail Delivery.
The three rural mail routes start
ing from Shickshinny have been ap
proved upon the recommendation of
Special Agent Taylor who was at
Shickshinny a short time ago. The
carriers were also examined during
his visit and it is altogether probable
that the service will begin July 1st.
Another route is projected which will
take in Huntington Mills, Town Hill,
New Columbus, Jonestown and inter
mediate points. All the territory in
Huntington Valley will eventually be
covered by these routes and the farm
ers will have the advantage of receiv
ing their mail in the morning instead
of at night.

Philadelphia, pril 28, 1902.
Time, in its flight, brines once more
the season our thoughts recur to the
past, when war with all its horrors
darkened our land, and rent asunder
the bond of unity, seiled by the blood
of the heroes of the Revolution. Hap
pily to day, Angel of Peace spreads
her wings over our country, which is
united under one flag, the Emblem of
Liberty. Again we approach the time
when, with flowers of spring, we stand
beside the graves, in which lie the
forms of our veteran comrades, who
gave so much to their country.
I. Our annual Memorial Day ritual
is a simple one, that appeals to the
warmest sympathy of the heart. "We
meet for no empty show, or useless
parade, but to testify from full and
overflowing hearts, that the remem
brance of their sacrifices have not
grown dim with passing years."
"With sable draped bannert and slow meas
ured tread,
The flower laden ranks pass the graves of
the dead ;
And seeking each mound where a comrade's
foim rests,
Leave tear bedewed garlands to bloom on
his breast."
II. Posts will arrange for attendance
at Divine Service on bunday May
25th. This custom has now become
general, and Post Commanders should
urge upon comrades a full attendance
in G. A. R. uniform.
III. Wherever practicable, visits to
the Public Schools should be made
and lessons of patriotism should be
taught to the children. It needs no
flowery oration to interest the pupils
in our schools.
IV. In localities where there are
more than one Post, airangemeats
will be made by them for division of
the work. Inteiest your friends and
societies in your vicinity, to join in the
ceremonies of Memorial Day.
V. Comrades, keep in mind the
meaning of this beautiful observance,
and determine you will give this day
in rememberance of your dead com
rades. Excursions, games, and other
frivolous enjoyment should be ignored
on this sacred day, by every comrade
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
