flanly Words.
For weeks prior to the acquittal
of Senator Quay for conspiracy to
use the funds of the state deposited
in the I'eoph 1 .uk, .veil inform
ed people knew that the evidence
to lie introduced was not deemed
sufficient for prosecution. At the
close of the State Senate a resolu
tion was offered, calling on the At
torney General to commence pro
ceedings against those persons
charged with receiving interest on
state deposits in the past years.
Of course this was a move to strike
at Senator Quay. Hon. J. If.
Cochran, of Lycoming, the Demo
cratic leader of the Senate, moved
to lay the resolution on the table,
which motion he carried by a vote
of 33 yeas to six nays. Senator
Cochran, whom everybody knows
is not identified with Senator Quay
or iiis friends, when interviewed,
said of the charges against Senator
Quay: 'M happen to know that
the papers in this ease were sub
mitted to former Attorney General
McCormick with a view to have
him take some action on behalf of
the Commonwealth. After a care
ful inquiry into the facts, Mr. Mc-
Coruiek decided that there was no
foundation upon which a prosecu
tion cither criminal or civil could
be brought against Senator Quay."
Senator Cochran is not a pea-nut
politician; he is too broad guaged
in his composition to set by and
allow an injustice done to a poli
tical foe and his manly words upon
this occasion are not surprising to
those of our people who know the
gentleman and respect him for bis
life-long record of fairness and
justice at all times to his political
apponents. Character assassins
will have to turn to other men
than Senator Cochran to blacken
the characters of honored citizens
and wreck the homes of esteemed
gentlemen. He is too large; a man
for that and knows the hard
knocks required to climb the ladder
from a poor boy to his present
honored position in the business
world, society and polities.

An Emporium dirl Becomes a Voter.
WICHITA, Kan., April 13,1899.
To the Editor of tht Pre*s,
DEAR SIR:— In response to your re
quest, I will endeavor and be pleased
to tell you a little something about my
experience as a voter away out here in
Kansas. It was a real novel treat to
me.
For months previous to the election,
all you could hear was,"have you
registered yet; and whom are you
going to vote for?" It was very amus
ing, and especially so to hear the ladies
lauding up their different candidates.
The ladies are all called for and if
they so desire are driven to the polls;
both sexes voting at the same place.
You are asked your name and the ward
you live in and if tho same is found on
the books you are given your ticket,
then you enter a booth and as the
"Lord's of Creation" do, you have the
same privilege to affix your little X
after any name you choose. It is all
done very quietly, modestly and
quickly; in no way injurious or de
grading to the honor or dignity of a
true lady, as the best ladies of the city
voted. I must say I thoroughly en
joyed it (only when it came to the
registering, then you must tell your
aye—not how many summers) and was
anxious to learn the results. I was
elated when I heard the Republican
mayor was elected—he was the im
portant candidate to vote for. Ladies
here are only privileged to vote for
municipal officers.
I am sure all the ladies and girls in
Emporium would enjoy the sport of
voting. It would be no trouble then,
Mr Mullin, to get elected. I know all
the ladles would give >ou a vote.
All the gentlemen are very liberal
and courteous, when it nears election
time, as they want the ladies' votes and
not all of them vote as their husbands
and sweethearts dictate. In all, I
would not have missed voting for any
thing; it is very good fun and interest
ing, making one feel the importance of
American citizenship Whetheror not
it will prove a benefit to tho female
portion of the world, remains to be
seen. It suffices now, if nothing more,
for the fun and privilege of being up
with the men. You must try and give
us a little of this fun in Pennsylvania,
Mr. Mullin.
With kindest regards, I remain,
Yours truly,
MARGAHET MCDONALD.
The writer of the above, Miss Mar
garet McDonald, is the eldest daughter
of Mr. and ?.'£?. A. A McDonald, 01
Emporium. She has been in Kansas
almost two years, making her home
with relatives. Miss McDonald is a
bright, very intelligent and well posted
young lady, especially upon the lead
ing questions of the day. Unlike her
father, she is a red-hot Republican and
when at home here "Angus" has to
keep mum on politics, if he does not
want to be wound up like a ball. We
can assure our lady friend that we hope,
at some future day, to see the Pennsyl
vania ladies accorded the right of suf
frage upon all municipal questions.
Why not ?

misfortune befalls her. It is the

becomes an ornament to woman- |

devotes some of her time to read

The Bulletin, in addition to
showing the analysis of each fertil
izer also shows the price per ton at
which each was sold at the point
at which the samples were selected,
and also the comparative commer
cial value per ton, thus enabling
the reader to judge at a glance
which of the different grades ap
pear to be best worth the price
asked for them. All samples were
drawn without the knowledge of
the manufacturer, by sworn agents
of the Department and may be
taken as fairly representing the
different brands as sold to farmers
in the state.
