EDITORIAL COHMENT.
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

WASHINGTON LETTER.
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.

If you are, enquire of your nearest
, ticket agent about rates via the Nickel
I Plato Road, the short line between
; Buffalo and Chicago. Many improve
t merits have been made in the past
| few years. 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.
If your ticket agent cannot give you
1 all the information desired, address P.

A Sure Sign ot Uroup.
Hoarseness in a child that is subject
ito croup is a sure indication o£the ap
proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon aa the
I child becomes hoarse, or even after the
1 croupy cough has appeared, it will pre
vent tho attack. Many mothers who
j have croupy children always keep this

them much trouble and worry. It can
