Swallow's vote in Cameron county last year was 21-.!, Tins year the crank only had 149 followers. A dispatch in a morning paper from Jamestown, announces thai "an out break of hydrophobia has broken out among the dogs" and "extends to some extent" among the cattle in Warren county, this State. Possibly some connection between this altogether re markable announcement and the de feat of Congressman C l . W. Stone, may be traced by the curious.—Philadelphia Inquirer. A Democratic Opportunity. Crawford county was, only a few years ago, one of the most reliable Re publican counties in the State. In early days it was strongly impregnated with the anti-slavery sentiment and one of the "underground railways" which transported the runaway slave from bondage to freedom ran through Meadville and that town harbored the unfortunate creatures. The early Huidekoper, Dick, Church, Richmond and other families of that town were among the leading, most intelligent and high-toned of any in northwestern Pennsylvania and the refining influ ence which went out trom their sur rovrdings was felt in every rook and corner of Crawford county. When the great breakup in political parties came which was caused by the South ern rebellion and the Avar following it, Crawford lined up among the staunch Republican counties of the country. Up to to the time that Joseph C. Sibley began his populistic career and branch ed out for Congress, Crawford county was as certain to give from 1500 to 300*0 Republican majority, according to the importance of the election, as election day was to come. Six years ago he concocted a scheme to be called as a candidate for Congress in the Erie- Crawford district by a lot of Republi can malcontents, the same game which he played in this district this fall. He "reluctantly" consented to run, just as he did here. Following the inagu ration of his campaign came the pros titution and debauchery of a people such as was never before witnessed in this section of the country. News papers were bought to sing his praises and whole communities were purchased like so many sheep to blatfor "Honest Joe." In that campaign he defeated Dr. T. L. Flood, a brilliant man and an estimable gentleman. In the next Congressional tight he was defeated by Matthew Griswold, of Erie, and two years later by John C. Sturtevant, of Conneautville. In both contests the large majority he received in Craw ford was overcome in Erie county. What has been the the result of this man's influence in Crawford county? It has become irredeemably Demo cratic. The last Legislature contained a solid delegation of Democrats in the lower House and this year another delegation of similar character is elect ed over three of the most worthy men in that county. A Democratic Con gressman is elected in the 26th district because the Democratic vote of Craw ford exceeds the Republican vote of Erie by 18. And this cannot be at tributed to Mr. Sibley being a factor in that fight, for lie was not, only as the influences of the past might be felt. The Democrat elected is a Mr. Gaston, of Meadville, a man of mediocre abili ties. Instead of Crawford county being classed among the Republican counties of the State it must hereafter take its place in the Democratic column as good for a thousand majority. Mr. Sibley transferred his operations to the 27th district this year and no sooner wa:) it known that he contemplated doing so, than the ears of every dead beat, every man whose principles are for sale to the highest bidder, every man who has no confirmed principles on any subject and every man who has no business but politics, were thrown wide open to hear how much he could grab of the swag.—Kane Re publican. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of whieh Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, ia narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tonguo coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradu ally growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electiio Slttcr.t, and to my s,reat joy and enrprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they imved my iife and robbed the grave of another victim." N T o one should fail to try them. Only 50c. at L. Taggart'a drug store.

I Frnm uur Regular Correnpontlent.) WASHINGTON, NOV. 14th, 1898. President McKinley is still re ceiving congratulations, by mail, from every section of the country on the indorsement given him and his administration—one of the most remarkable indorsements ever given to any President in the middle of his administration —-by the voters of the country. The big head is an alllietion unknown to him, but the President is natur ally proud of the confidence in him. which the re-election of a Republi can majority in the House and the election of State Legislatures, which insure a big Republican majority in the Senate, expressed, and anxious that his future policy in connection with our newly ac quired territory and his recom mendations to Congress, shall be of such a nature ;is to merit a con tinuance of that conlidence. If a conscientious desire to do the right thing for the country will enable him to do it.he will succeed. Having failed in the election, the Democrats have returned to their old occupation of trying to create dissension among the vic torious Republicans. Tlicy are circulating stories to the effect that friend of the President are trying to prevent Speaker Reed being re elected Speaker of the next House. There is not a word of truth in the stories, and it is as certain us any thing in the future can be that Mr. Reed will be Speaker of the next House, unless he declines to be. At the last meeting of the Cabinet, the American Peace Commissioners at Paris, were instructed to notify the Spanish Commissioners that this government would call time on them if they did not hurry up and get down to business on our demand for the Philippines—a de mand that is unalterable and which must be either accepted or refused, regardless of what any other gov ernment may do or threaten to do. In other words, Spain must under stand that European interference, even if it could be brought about, would not change the policy of this government one iota. While President McKinley will, under no circumstances, attempt to interfere with the selection of Senators by any of the Republican State Legislatures, there isn't the slightest doubt that Representative Babeock, of Wisconsin, who, as Chairman of the Republicon Con gressional Campaign Committee, has made a new record that is not likely to be broken, by electing a Republican majority of the House at three consecutive Congressional elections, will have his best wishes in his campaign for election to the Senate. This is not because of any objection to either of the other able Republicans who are candidates for the Senate, but because Presi dent McKinley thinks that Mr. Babeock's work for the party has given him a claim upon the highest honors «it the disposal of the Re publicans of \\ isconsin. Adjutant General Corbin, in his annual report, refers to existing law which prevents the enlistment in the army of persons not citizens of the i'nited States, and says: "The new conditions will, bow ever, make a modification of this statute desirable, to the end that the enlistment of from one com pany to a batallion of natives for each regiment serving in Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines may be authorized. The advantage of this is too obvious for discussion. According to the annual report of Commissioner-General T. V. Powderly, just made public, the total number of immigrants to the United States, during the last fiscal year, was 22!),299. being 1,5:33 fewer than came during the previous year. During the year 3,080, who were undesirable, from one cause or another, principally pauperism, were debarred. Mr. Powderly recommends that the head tax be increased from 81 to $2, to provide a fund to "enlarge the bureau's operations to its full capacity for usefulness in protect ing American citizens from disease, tax-payers from the imposition of unjust burdens, and the hospitals, charitable and penal institutions of the country from demoralization by the corrupt citizens of other coun tries." Representative Sherman and other New York Republicans who have been in Washington since the election appear to think that Hon. Chauneey M. Depew will be the Republican elected to succeed Sen ator Murphy,, unless there is a great change in party sentiment before the Legislature meets. Admiral Schley, who was one of our Military Commissioners charged with the duty of arranging for the evacuation of Porto Rico, is in Washington. He brought a full report of the work of himself and colleagues in • Porto Rico, with him, and it is now in the hands of the President. He refuses to discuss any of the numerous sensational stories dealing with the relations.

Now the elegantly up holstered coaches, vestibule sleeping i cars and powerful locomotives have been added to the equipment and substantial structures of steel and stone have replaced the old bridges, heavier rails and ties have been laid, and tho road now stands at the front of the I best roads in the country. The rates, however, still remains lower than via other lines.
