REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
For Governor,
CHARLES W. STONE, of Warren.
{Subject to the decision of the Republican
State Convention.]
For President Judge,
B. W. GREEN, of Cameron,
[Subject to the decision of the Republican
District Convention.]
Sensible and Timely.
The fellow who howls loudest for
war is rarely heard leading a charge
on the enemy's guns.
But then we need 'em, if for
nothing else than to whoop and
howl, because a certain amount of
wind is needed to fan a sizzling
smoking fire into a blaze.
Nor is it essential that they
should know w hat they are whoop
ing and howling about.
Ask these fellows upon what
grounds they would declare war,
and they can't give any. They
don't know what the status of af
fairs is between the two countries.
They have heard that there might
be war, and they are howling for
it. To avenge the loss of one war
vessel and the lives of a large part
of the crew, they would sacrifice a
score of equally valuable vessels
and thousands of equally good
lives.
All this, to say nothing of vast
treasure and untold injury to com
merce and trade, just to gratify the
great army of whoopers and howl
ers.
Our dogs of war are ready to
pounce upon other dogs of war and
fight to a finish.
What for ?
To those who would have most
of the fighting to do,and the heavi
est burdens to bear, and the greater
iosses to suffer, it looks as if it
would be mainly to gratify that
desire of these whoopers and
howlers to see a fight.
There is nothing surer than that
those most clamorous for war will
never willingly join the ranks of
the real fighters. They will be
found in the departments of supply,
where there is plenty to eat. and
fine chances for turning pennies to
their own account.
Every veteran of the late war
will tell you the same, and most
any of them can cite case after
case in proof of their statements.
And it was well known in the
army that loud-mouthed, swearing,
swagering soldiers were no good
for fighting.—Quiet Observer in
Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, April 13, 1898.
While every man and woman is
interested in the exciting subjects
which have been prominently be
iore the public mind in Washing
ton during the past month, it may
be interesting to turn aside for a
moment to consider that subject
which, at this time last year, was
engrossing public attention, the
new tariff.
It is a subject which will especi
ally interest the farmers just now,
for the new law, having been in
operation for more than a half-year,
it is practicable to begin to measure
its effect upon all classes and
especially upon the great industries
of agriculture and manufacturing.
The Treasury Department has
just issued a statement covering in
detail the operations of the new
Law during the first half-year of its
work, also showing the importa
tions and exportations for January
of the present year. It is especially
interesting to the farmer because
it gives him an insight into the
work of the new tariff law coin
pared with that which preceded it
and particularly as to its effect
upon his own industry.
Some facts relative to the first
six months' work of the law have
been already alluded to, but it is
well enough in this connection to
point out the fact that the total
importations of articles of food and
live animals in the first half-year
of the, new law fell nearly $20,000,-
00»> as compared with the corres
ponding six months of the pre
ceding year under the Wilson law.
Now for details: The importa
tion of horses in January, 1898,
under the Dingley law amounted
to only $10,078 in value against
821,304 in January of the preced
ing year under the Wilson law.
Meantime the exports of horses in
January, 18!)8, amounted to $502,
140 as against $338,295 in the pre
ceding January. Of barley the
importations in January were only
10.030 bushels against 101,025
bushels in the preceding January
under the Wilson law. Of chicory,
the January, 1898, imports were
only 3,055 pounds against 944,035
in January of the preceding year.
There was a slight falling off in the
importations of eggs, the number
being, in January last, 20,297 do/.,
against 21,072 dozen in the pre
ceding January, while the exports
in January, 1898, were 163,068
dozen against 69,875 dozen in the
preceding January. Of flax, the
January, 1898, importations were
288 tons against 410 tons in Janu
ary, 1897. Of hay, the importa
tions last January were 86 tons
against 9,934 tons in the preceding
January, while the exportations of
hay increased from 874,922 in
value in January, 1897, to 894,210
in value in January, 1898 The
importations of fruits in January,
1898, amounted to 8651,292 against
8822,524 in the preceding January,
while the exports of fruits amount
ed in January, 1898, to 8836,780
against 8625,239 in the preceding
January, showing a gain in exports
and a reduction in imports.
The president of the Manchester
Association of Engineers, who has
recently been in this country, in
speaking of our iron and steel
manufactures, says:"The United
States with her boundless natural
resources, coupled with the energy
of her people, is destined to become
the work-shop of the world." He
might also have added that her
protective system is the cause of
the progress she has made in this
line.
C. W. Stone's Canvass.
Congressman Charles W. Stone,
of Warren, has picked up so many
delegates within the past three
weeks, says the Philadelphia Times,
that already his candidacy must be
given serious consideration. He
has a solid delegation from his
congressional district, consisting of
the counties of Warren, Venango,
McKean and Cameron. By com
promise two of the Mercer delegates
are for him; the Butler delegates,
although uninstructed, are said to
be for him also, and the Lawrence
county delegates were instructed
for him on Monday.
With so good a beginning and
delegates yet to be elected in sev
eral counties in the northwest,
where sentiment is in his favor, it
is clear that be will go into the
convention with a personal follow
ing that can hardly fail to prove an
important factor in making the
final selections of a candidate. As
he lias been in Congress of late
and is thus free of the factional
entanglements from which some
other candidates have not been
able to extricate themselves, a
stranger tiling might happen than
for his band of delegates to become
a neucleus around which other
delegates might rally and give him
the nomination in the final round
up.
C. W. Stone lias had a long pub
lic career. He was a member of
the House at llarrisburg from the
district composed of Venango and
Warren during the sessions of 1870
and 1871; state senator from the
same district in 1877 and 1878;
lieutenant governor for the four
years following January, 1879, and
secretary of the commonwealth by
appointment of Governor Beaver
from January, 1887, until his
resignation in 1890 to take his seat
as a member of the Fifty-first
Congress, to which lie had been
elected to fill a vacancy. He has
been returned to Congress continu
ously since that time, and is a
member of the Fifty-fifth congress,
now in session, and chairman of
the committee on coinage.
From this it will be seen that in
point of experience in public affairs
no man in the State can be said to
have served longer or in a more
varied capacity. If governorships
were bestowed in Pennsylvania in
the way of promotion Congressman
Stone would certainly be eligible.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Painfield, 111.,
makes the statment, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He to!d
her she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King's New Discovery for consump
tion; she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefitted from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was. Free trial bottles of this great
discovery at L. Taggarts Drug Store.
Large bottles 50 cents and 81.00.

Run on Saturday.
A. A. Moody, of Driftwood, was seen
on our streets Friday.
W. J. Miller took in the sights at St.
Marys on Monday.
J. R. Russell had business at ltidg

Who were the two young gentlemen
that got "left" on Thursday night.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Connor visited
friends on Huston Hill over Sunday.
D. S. and Hezekiah Miller, of Millers
Run, visited friends and old acquaint
ances here on Wendesday.
Miss Lizzie Jordan who has been
working at Dents Run, returned home
on Thursday.
What has become of the correspond:
ent to the Independent from this place ?
Was he scared out or killed in the
recent riot.
Miss Minnie Barr, of Medix Run,
passed over the hill on Monday en
route to Sterling Run, in the interest
of her millinery establishment.
Some of the people of this place who
have "licked" Spain every day for the
hist two months with their mouth, will
now probably have a chance to "lick"
them with a shot gun.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Connor have
commenced housekeeping in the house
recently vacated by Mr. Hill. The
writer will stop and get a "square"
some of these days when convenient.
O. B. Tanner has made application
to President McKinley to lead the
American troops in Cuba in case of
war. A better man than Mr. Tanner
could not be found, as he is "long" for
this world.
A piece of poetry was found by the
writer, near the school house, on Sun
day. The poet (of home talent) is re
quested to come forward, prove ident
ity and get a five center.
A colored gentleman preached an
interesting sermon to a large congre
gation here on Sunday. He expects to
lecture on Tuesday night on the days
of slavery and the African race.
Quite a number of young people of
this place attended the school enter
tainment on Huston Hill on Saturday
night and report it "out of sight," not
withstanding the uncomfortable cir
cumstances of a crowded house. The
people w#re well pleased with the pro
gram which was quite lengthy.
Death visited the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Wesley Marsh on Sunday morn
ing and carried away their youngest
Ron, aged about two years, after a brief
illness of twenty hours. The remains
were laid at rest in the cemetery at
this place on Monday at 2:00 o'clock,
to await the summons of the angles.
Rev. Edersole officiating.
A MEMORIAL.
One is missed; O, missed sincerely !
Missed within our quiet home;
Gone is he whom we loved so dearly,
Left a vacancy for gloom.
One is missed; God's angles bade him
Come and dwell with him above,
In Mason Hill cemetery wc laid him,
The second token of our love.
Ne'er again on earth we'll meet him,
Speak to him no more,
But we hope at last to greet him
On that peaceful shining shore.

Two years ago R. J. Warren, a drug

follows: "At that time the goods were
