Jg. JXOYD. Party Loyalty and State Lines. From The Washington Post. The Cleveland Leader has a long standing reputation as a party organ. It is an excellent newspaper, and its location in Northern Ohio gives it many advantages as a political guide and oracle. When a member of the Republican party, who is of suflieient consequence, gets his heels over the traces, he is sure to hear from the Leader, and the scolding he receives is of the continuous performance variety. During the campaign of 1896 the Leader was particularly severe on the gentlemen who saw fit to walk out of the St. Louis Convention and cast their political fortunes with the party ofi free silver, and when the last Ohio j Senatorial election was pending the | Cleveland paper exhausted its vocabu-; lary of vehemence in treating those ; Republican members of the Legislature 1 who declined to vote for Mr. Hanna. But the Cleveland Leader has evi dently undergone a remarkable change , of policy. Reaching over the State j line into Pennsylvania it turns its former views wrong side out and gives i vent to the following utterance: "If Senator Quay would withdraw in i i Pennsylvania he could insure the elec- i : tion of a good Republican to the Senate ! without further trouble. Quay, ap pears to think, however, that he is of more importance than his party." Perhaps we may be permitted to in quire of the Leader why Senator Quay should comply with its suggestion. Mr. Quay is a regular nominee of the Republican party. A large majority of the Republican members of the Leg islature met in caucus and selected Mr. Quay as the proper person to succeed himself, and during the balloting they have stuck to him most persistently. Not only this, but during the campaign last year the voters of the State were daily reminded by the Democratic orators and Democratic newspapers that the election of a Republican Leg islature meant the return of Mr. Quay to the Senate, and he was as much of an issue in Pennsylvania as Mr. Hanna was in Ohio in 1896. There are serious charge- against Mr. Quay, and he has been i lictcd by a grand jury. But Mr. Hf. \a's political opponents re sorted t< the same methods, and the f>nly difference is that they failed in their efforts before the grand jury. There are serious charges against Mr. Hanna in the pigeon holes of a Senate committee-room, but the Post believes they are without foundation and made for political effect only. The law presumes that a man is in nocent until the contrary has been duly established. Therefore from a legal and moral standpoint Mr. Quay occupies the same position as Mr. Hanna, and is as much entitled to the loyal support of his party organization. Personal ambition inspired the virulent attacks oil the character of Mr. Hanna, and personal ambition is the incentive in the light on Mr. Quay. Had the men who are fighting the Pcnnsyl vanian been actuated by motives to which they lay claim, they would not have waited until the eve of the Sena torial election to invoke the machinery of the law against the senior Senator. The Post does not undertake to try the case against Senator Quay and render a verdict. That will be attended to in the courts later on; but it believes in giving all public men fair treatment and without regard to State lines. We fear the Cleveland Leader has several different kinds of party loyalty in stock. It denounces the Bushnells, the Kurtzes,the McKissons,the Masons, the Burkes, and the other Republican bolters in Ohio, and commends the Wanamakers, the Martins, the Flynns, and the remainder of the political bush ; whackers in Pennsylvania. Consis -1 tency is not a Cleveland Leader specialty. Something New. Mrs. Hard well has just placed on sale the latest designs in shirt waist patterns, stock collars, fancy yokes for dresses, ties, latest styles in fancy belt buckles and ladies' belts, and a fine ! line of muslin and lace curtains, and sash curtains. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 9,1899. Off for Alaska. Another party of Emporiumites left for Alaska, composed of the following: Ed. Dion, Peter Liberty, Broby and Jos. Lawsett. Frank Morris ac companied them as far as Washington. Something New in Husic. What is said to be one of the most . original and fascinating pieces of music ! for the piano, entitled "Flight of the I Butterflies," by Rud Knauer, has just J been published by the Popular Music j Co., Indianapolis, Ind.

Mr. John Schlecbt desires to inform the people of Emporium and vicinity, that he is prepared to do all kinds of pruning and trimming of truit trees and grape vines. As Mr. Schlecht has had over twenty years experience in this line of work 1 we have no hesitancy in reccommend ing him, to any in need of such services, as possessing a high degree of compe tency and proficiency in the art of prun ing Learn /"lore Trades. It may sound a little startling, but it is said to be true that more young men are learning trades in peni tentiaries than outside of them, be cause the parents are trying to make clerks, doctors, lawyers, and even preachers out of material intended for blacksmiths, carpenters and other me chanical trades. The trouble is that boys are too eager to avoid the labor of life and are too anxious to follow some calling that does not soil their hands. And the parents are respon sible. Bn-s should be taught that ther y <s,;iorc: dignity in manual labor than Ifi loafing. The farm and the shop often yield more profit than the office or counter.—Exchange. Base Ball Player Dead. The Corning Democrat of Thursday said: "David Wetzel, of Morris Run, Pa., was in Corning this morning on liLs way homo from Syracuse, where he buried his son, Wm. Wetzel. The latter died Friday, at Dayton, Ohio, aged thirty-one years, leaving a wife The deceased was, several years ago, an employee in the Fall Brook offices in this city and was prominent in athletic circles, particularly in base ball. He is well remembered by many j Corningites. Mr. Wetzell will be remembered by many Emporiumites as the little short stop whose star plays fairly electrified the spectators during the eventful game of ball in September, 1891, be tween the Renovo "Actives" and Em porium's crack nine, when Messrs. Fanning and Reidy, of Buffalo, was the battery for the home team. Methodist Changing. The time was when the service of I the Methodist churches was as plain as that of the Quakers. But that is changing, and now the followers of Wesley worship in beautiful buildings, elaborately decorated, and often have a service which in many respects shows the effect of the time-spirit as ; much as the architecture One of the - most prominent Methodist churches ; in New York lias for some time,we are informed, had a vested choir, and that in a church which, in its constant j ministry to those classses in the com munity most often neglected, has been j truest to Methodism. Now we are in formed that the Centuary,the old First and the Wabash Avenue Methodist I Episcopal churches in Chicago have all adopted the plan of having vested choirs The vestment will be a flow- i ing black gown much like the Oxford student dress. —The Outlook.

War veterans will be interested in a bill presented by Captain Skinner, of Fulton, directing the auditor general to place on the state's pension roll, on proper application, the name of any honorably discharged officer, soldier, sailor or marine now residing in Penn sylvania, who volunteered for at least nine months in the army or navy be tween April 14, 1801 and May 1, 1865, who was at the time of enlistment a resident of and credited to this state, and who is not an inmate of a soldiers' home, State or National, nor a United States pensioner. The pension shall be at the rate of one cent per day for each day served in the war, payable on the first Wednesday of January, April, July and October. The pension bill shall not bo payable to any person of gross intemperate habits, but his certitlcate may be payable to his wife or ti.e guardian of his children under eighteen years of age. Any attorney or agent prosecuting a claim under this act, and demanding or receiving more than ten dollars fee, shall be lia ble to a line of §SO for the first offense and for any subsequent offense §IOO or threo months' imprisonment. All such pensions ore to cease when Congress shall pension this class of soldiers. A preamble to the bill argues that an act of 1893 granted a gratuity of forty dol lars, and an annuity of ten dollars a month to soldiers who served two months or more in the war of 1812, or to th«ir widows and a similar pension was granted for a service of less than two months in cases of such soldiers who were wounded. Big Railroad Deal. While in Ridgway last Saturday we heard considerable talk about the sale of the Buffalo & St. Marys R. R., to gether with the mining interests of Hall, Kaul & Co. The following from the Ridgway Star, we clip: "A deal, which in its magnitude and the ( vionnt of money involved, has perhaps nes'er been eclipsed in Elk county has just been consummated, and the evening Star today is able to give to the outside world the first authentic and reliable information con cerning the same. The property in question is the Buffalo, St. Marys and Southwestern 11. R., and the Shawmut Coal Mining plants, which have been sold by the Hall-Kaul interests to a syndicate of New York city capitalists whose expressed intentions mean one of the biggest booms that has struck i this section in some time. The rail road property, of course, is the one in which the public is most interested, but at the same time it is understood that the new proprietors propose to very materially increase the output of the mines and further develop the country through which the railroad runs, to a very large extent. The most persistent of the rumors, however, is to the effect that the road will be ex tended at once from Shawmut to l Brookville, and other points in Jeffer son county, and that a iarge amount I of the coa) land through which the ex ; tension will pass is to be developed, I and that the road will ultimately con nect. with a road ia Western New York, thus reaching the Buffalo market and j the Lakes. While no one supposes for arm ment that the New York bankers th ive gone into the railroad business in any other way than as purchasing age' ts for some one of the big trunk ! lines, the all .absorbing question is how I soon will Elk county be apart of the territory to be traversed by a railroad system, which will constitute a promi nent competitor for the business of this section.

Some of the champion eaters of this section will be here; Billy Lloyd will have to look to liis laurels. We regret that we omitted to men tion, in last issue of the PRESS, the fact that a large party of friends made Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Housler an un expected call, on the evening of the 28th of Feb. They enjoyed themselves right royally and were delightfully entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Housler. "The Gang" invaded the residence of Hon. I. K. Hockley last Tuesday morning, made themselves welcome and deliberately prepared for a good dinner which they certainly did have. The occasion of the call was to assist Mrs. Hockley in celebrating, indue form, her (we think she said 34th) birthday. "The Gang" certainly did have a good time. After tiring out their welcome they then paid Mrs. R. Warner a visit and aided her in duly celebrating her 69th anniversary. This good lady took pity on them and asked the small (?) eaters to remain for the balance of the day and evening and it was the wish of her host of friends that she might live to celebrate many similar occasions. Death's Doings. STONE. Mrs. Rachel Stone died at the family residence, at Junction, in this place, last Monday morning, aged 65 years.
