Shvatz protesting constantly that he is an lont i.ian has convicted himself of falsification and is entitled only to popular contempt. Moreover his fulnetiood v. as malicious as well ns deliberate. Ho aspersed th reputa tion of others in order to create a false reputation for himself. Every body despises a malicious liar. The Peril o.-je machine controls the Republican party In Pennsylvania. It nominated Sheatz because its man agers bolieved that he will serve It La the event of his election. The Penrose machine wants the State ";-i.asury in order to "farm" the fi.-uage of the office. It was one '.ha most productive of the assets the machine before Berry waa ;ted. Bankers who are involve 1 pay anything for funds to tide .i-m over. Frequently if they j&n't get funds they commit suicide. Penrose likes to hold a lot of bank ers in that equivocal position. He can get "money to burn" under such conditions. Sheatz Under Obligations to the Ma chine No mau who Is under obligations to such a political combination has strength to resist its importunities. A man with the courage and probity to maintain opposition will not put himself under obligations to that kind of a machine. Sheatz baa al ways been under obligations to "the gang." When be waa given the place honored by J. Claude Bedford he mortgaged his manhood. That lightning doesn't strike twice In the same spot, is proverbial. That a political machine doesn't make two mistakes in the same Legislative dis trict, is equally certain. In select ing a man to humiliate Bedford the machine wouldn't take a man like Bedford. They make certain to get the opposite sort. It was because of this obligation to the machine that Sheatz voted for the Susquehanna canal bill. He knew that waa a vicious measure. He bad even declared hU Intention to vote against It. "While In Phila delphia the day before the bill came up," says the editor of the North American, "he inquired of The North American when It was to be called. Upon learning that the vote would be taken the following day, he canceled an Important business engagement and went to Harrisburg specially to do his duty and vote against the measure." Yet when be voted the next day he voted for the bill. The machine managers forced bi.-n to "throw conscience to the dogs" and serve, not his party, but the machine. What absolute folly it la to talk of resisting the machine in a matter in which cupidity has stirred the manager to an acute stage by a man who couldn't withstand it in a trilling affair like the Susquehanna canal bill? An organization which drove HopkinB, Blake, Walters, Clark of the Enterprise bank and others to suicide, worried Norris, Hart and Haywood Into premature graves and sent Llvesy Into exile as a fugitive, Is not likely to abandon Its most cherished hope because of fear of a man who hadn't the wit to keep his legislative record right or the wisdom to remain silent when Lis faults were revealed. It would be as afe to hand the treasury over to Huston or Sanderson. Judged by the Company lie Keep. If Sheatz had the courage and con science which is claimed for him, moreover, bo wouldn't havV. the sup port of the clement ubkh. It- lining most for his snores. K nry one of the Indicted conspirators hi working to the full measure of bis power to mill elect Mr. Sheatz. Huston, Sander son, Snyder, Payne, Cassell and all the capltol grafters are moving heaven and earth In his Interest. If be Is anxious to prosecute them why are they so urgent for his election? It Is not likely that they would pre fer to be sent to the penitentiary by Republicans rather than by Demo crat. Their partisanship hardly tnltes that form. Thou the grafters In p.ll the other departments are taxing their ener gies and taking chances of punish ment In order to promote the elec tion of Sheatz. Take the case of John S. Neal, chief clerk of the State Highway Department, for example. Nenl Is under suspicion and unless the machine la restored to power It will be impossible to retain him In the public service. He Is one of those who organized "a bureau of Information" In the Highway de partment threo or four years ago, to cell advance Information to con tractors, to the prejudice of the State. If the Department hadn't been rotten he would have been turned out then. Hut he wasn't even rebuked. It ha.s been said that he was obliged to refund some of the money, not by thy department, but by his victims. 1i't that rumor has not been veri fied. He lost no standing among his assoc iates, however. And why should lie? The department was organized as a grafting bureau. It was In tended as a political machine. It wuj designed to be a sort of asylum, for party pensioners. Besides the vat force of employes In and about tVe (,:iice here, the considerable num bvr of engineers and draughtsmen In the field, there are a number of contractors who employ crcat ar mies of men. Chief Clerk Xenl's Hold-Vp, That all of these employes are ex pected to contribute to the campaign corruption fund Is made plain by a "hold-up" letter recently Issued to the contractors, Inspectors and other employes of the Highway Depart ment by Chief Clerk Neal. "We are . raising a fund to assist the Repub lican State committee in paying the expenses of Its present State cam paign," he writes to those who are largely dependent upon him for their ' tenure of ofllea. "Should von H- slre to make a voluntary contribu tion for this purpose," he continues, "pleaBe forward me a check as promptly as possible." The Highway Department graft ers are alarmed at the prospect of Herman's election.. They know that there will be no Interruption of work In roadbullding, for Mr. Har man, In the Legislature and out. is and has been one of the most enthus iastic advocates of good roads. But If he Is elected the grafters In the Highway Department will have "troubles of their own." He won't have power to remove Inefficient or venal officials or agents of the De partment. But he will have the right to compel the fulfillment of the law and the proper performance of the work and every man concerned understands that he will exercise that right. The other departments are also more or less concerned on the sub ject. At least the "fat frying" has been extended to all the departments and men are held up for "volun tary" contributions on every part of the "palace of graft," except In the office of the State Treasurer. Chair man Andrews' collectors know that there Is nothing to he got there for them and State Treasurer Berry will not Indulge In that Jiost contempt ible of all forms of robbery. The election of Harman will go a long way toward a stop to that canker In the official life of the Commonwealth. Humor of Antl-Penrose Defection. There is an Interesting rumor cur rent In political circles now which has come out of the center of the antl-Penrose Republicans of the State. This force is an Important element In the party's voting strength, and it reasons that the easiest and best way to eliminate Penrose from the political equation would be to forget to vote for Sheatz. Penrose nominated Sheatz not out of love for SheaU but with the Idea of promoting his own Interests. If Sheatz Is elected Penrose will be strengthened because all the patron age of the office, appointments as well as deposits, will be employed In his behalf. The defeat of Sheatz, on the other hand, will not only deprive Penrose of these potent influences, but It will Imply condemnation of Penrose's policies and management. Naturally a good many of Penrose's enemies In the party look with fav or upon a proposition to adopt this easy way of effacing Penrose. There Is no doubt that the elec tion of Sheatz will make Penrose In vincible. Ever since the death of Quay those who are opposed to Pen rose have been complaining of his Incapacity for leadership and his pronenees to blundering. His suc cess In rescuing the organization from desperate situations, however, Is a constant refutation of such charges. It may be gravely doubted If Quay could have saved the part)' last year. It Is known that he was Irretrievably committed to the nom ination of Colonel Watres of Scran ton for Governor and Watres would "have been skinned a mile." Quay never encountered such a perilous situation as the capltol scandal put up to Penrose this year. He was equul to the emergency last year and If he succeeds again this year the antl-Penroce element of the party may as well "bag its head." I rc-nrgse's SuOlrlent Henson. That Is why Penrose nominated Bheatz this year. The voters wouldn't stand for a machine man with "the courage of his convictions." On the other hand Penrose wouldn't stand for an anti-machine man who would not be amenable to orders In the event of his election. Sheatz was the compromise Invented by Penrose. He Is a machine man In mask. He serves the machine, nnd, an In th case of tho Susquehanna canal bill vote, lias the stupidity or Inveracity to deny the fact even though he must have known that the records would roveal his hyporrlry. O. D. H. Our Xlne Days Wonder- ' From the Philadelphia Record. Nine days have elapsed since Can didate John O. Sheatz calling "The Record" to account for the "extrpva gnnt writings, and In many case-i ab solutely false statements, of men employed for tbelr ability In that Hue," denied that he bad voted or any of tho "Infamous" water Miake bills of tho legislative benslon of 1903. Nino days have elapsed fdnco this nefspaper called the attention of Candidate Sheatz to page 2 4 33 of the Legislative Record, whereon It Is officially certified that be did vote for the most Infamous of til the water snake bills. As et Candidate Sheatz I.us not condescended to explain why ho &et up a defense that was so easily de molished by reference to bis oTicIal record. lie promised In his letter of denial to "reply to the rest of the misstatements" at bis first oppor tunity. Has ho thought better of it? Have the gangsters who .".re manag ing his campaign called him off? The Veterans and liie Grufters- From the Butler Herald. John O. Sheatz, the Republican machine candidate for State treas urer, offers as an excuse for the vetoing of the soldiers pension bill the statement that It would have cost the State over $1,000,000 a year to pay the pensions to the veterans. Had it not been for the election of William II. Berry It Is safe to say the bunch of capltol grafters would huve robbed the State of $1,000,000 more in ndditlon to that already stolen and the machine campaigners would now be pointing with prlje to the magnificent cap'tol which WE built and furnished. It costs too much to give the old veterans $10 a month, but an expenditure of mil lions of dollars for "fake" trimmings is a legltlmute expense. Rpe-H the Name Correctly. From the Philadelphia Record. Some of our esteemed county and city contemporaries are In the habit of misspelling the name of the Demo cratic candidate for State Treasurer, Hon. John O. Harman, of Columbia county. It is well enough to be cor rect. The misspelling of names has sometimes led to grave after-election disputes. Luckily, there la no mis taking of Sheatz for Hurnian nor of Harman for Sheatz; but It is not well to alter the spelling of either candidate's surname. Todd Tarries. From The Harrisburg Patriot. The Attorney Ooneral of the State, who Is In charge of the pro secution of the Capitol thloves, Is away on his vacation. It was stated at his office yesterday that the date of his return has not yet been fixed. If the administration Is using all energy and diligence to bring the criminals to Justice and to recover the stolen money the place for the Attorney General Just now Is Harris burg, not the woods of Maine. Responsibility for the Graft. From the Reading Telegram. Can you touch a man who had any thing to do with this monumental conspiracy of plunder and betrayal without touching a minion of the Republican state machine, to which Sheatz is Indebted for his present nomination T Must be Plucked Out. From the Sunbury Democrat. The long continued system of loot practiced by the Republican leaders In the State must be completely erad icated, or else the fruits of Industry will be absorbed in the payment of unearned and uulawful bounties to the corruptlonlnts.

Some of them havo a history extending over cen turies, nnd yet the secret of their manufacture has been so well con cealed that the monastic com uni ties In which they were first pro duced still continue In absolute pos session of tho recipe and enjoy tho proceeds of tholr monopoly. Tho most undent of liquors Is Benedictine, which Is said to date from CC3 A D. But It was not till 1500 that Dom Bernado Vlncelll, a monk resident In tho Abbey of Fe camp, who had a profound knowl edge of the plants and herbs used In the preparation of medicinal cordials succeeded In making a cordl.il which preserves the name and fame of the order. It Is said that tho monks, when weary from their studies, re stored their strength by taking the fdmplo cordial. Tho new distillery at Fecamp Is a palatial building, which Is a memorial of past success and present progress. In the laboratory there are glpnntlc tun-shaped vats, containing 110,000 gallons of tho llquer, F.nd In underground cellars 1j stored the produce of the distilla tion of tho plants. Chartreuse Is named after the ori I rn.-il Carthusian monastery founded In to eleventh century In n wild, romantic valley forming a portion of tho French department of Isere. This l!';i;cr has a large sale, both the green rnd yellow being popular. It la distilled from various herbs which are supposed to possess peculiar f timulr.tlng and aromatic properties. Its repute has been maintained by monks despite tho enormous difficul ties which they havo encountered from tlmo to time. Tho erdor Is sup posed to havo been considerably en riched by tho revenue from this country. The monastery which con tains tho distillery has long been a famous resort for visitors. Perhaps tho next in popularity Is Curacoa, which received Its namo from one of the West Indies (Dutch) where are grown the oranges from the dried peel of which tho llquer Is mude. Most of the llquer Is Imported from Holland, tho center of Its manufacture. The orange peel, after being carefully dried, Is macerated with water, and afterward distilled with spirits nnd water. When taken from tho still it is sweetened with sugar, and to make it a little more palatble a little Jamaica rum is add ed. Those who hnve experimented say that a very good imitation can be made with the fresh peel of bitter oranges and whisky. A highly flavored llquer is mara schino, made from bruised cherries, both the wild and cultivated varie ties being used. Klrschwasser is rap Idly becoming popular as a choice llquer. It is distilled from the bruised cherries, and the stoned ker nels taken from the cherries are gathered when they are quite ripe and, having been stemmed, are then pounded in a wooden vessel, but so carefully that the stones are not broken. In this condition they are left to fermont. As soon as fermen tation begins they are stirred two or three times a day. Later the stones are broken and the kernels thrown in with the fruit. Kumel, an other sweetened spirit Imported from Germany nnd Russia, gets its name from the German word for the herb cumin, with which it is flavored, though caraway seeds are used for the same purpose. Anise seed cordial, which is often taken as a stomachic, is not a dis tilled spirit but is made by flavoring a weak spirit with anise- seed, corian der and sweet fennel seed. Corian der has an agreeable aromatic smell and a sweetish aromatlo taste. It Is the essential Ingredient of the cor dial, which Is sweetened with clari fied syrup or refined sugar. Clove cordial Is more useful In the house hold than as an ordinary llquer. Col or is Imparted by the addition of burnt sugar, Peppermint, or creme de menthc, is a popular llquer made of the ordinary sweetened gin, flav ored with the essential oil of pepper mint, which Is previously rubbed up with refined sugar. Strungo Moorish Pastime, "There are few pastimes known to the people of Morocco that are not connected with reUglon," writes a traveler. "Chlldrei play football of a kind and leapfrog and practice wrestling and fencing. They also pursue rabbits with curved Btlcks end throw those with extraordinary skill. Some few experts claim to be able to kill partridges with the same pimple weapon. The great game, of the- adult Moor is the lab-el barood, or powder-play. This exercUe is ta ken on horseback, and to see a body of Moorish horsemen come down at tho charge with guns high above tbelr heads to a given spot, where they fire their weapons and then pull their horses up on their haunches, Is a sight that will never be forgotten oven by those who have seen cavalry maneuvers in Europe.
