County Commissioner.
Having lived in thiscounty nearly all my life and
never having asked for, or held, a county office,
I have taken this opportunity to offer myself as
candidate for County Commissioner, subject to
decision of the Republican County Convention.
DELOS BURLINGAME.
Sizerville. Pa.. Feb. 20, 1899.
The State Treasury is no longer
a club in the hands of the Quay
haters. They have used it in past
campaigns for all it was worth.
They have lost their only amuni
tion. Any honest man of ordinary
intelligence can run the State
Treasury, thanks to the law that a
Quay Legislature passed. Under
that law there is absolutely no op
portunity for manipulating State
funds. The public money is placed
in banks and the interest upon that
money is paid into the State Treas
ury. It is all very simple, indeed.
So there is really nothing for the
insurgents to fight about, and we
don't wonder that they are willing
to take almost any candidate that
the other side suggests, only they
want to know the name of that
candidate in advance so they can
be in at the start and give the im
pression that they are really win
ning a victory.—Philadelphia In
quirer.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Jicyular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May Bth, 1899.
President McKinley has gone to
tin- Virginia Hot Springs where lie
and Mrs. McKinley will remain for
about two weeks, lie is not sick,
and, although the rest is taken by
order of his physician, it is more in
the nature of an exemplification of
the adage "An ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure,"
than because it is an absolute nec
essity at this time, lie is run
down and has recently been a suf
ferer from rheumatism, and it
seems an impossibility for a Presi
dent to get any rest in Washington.
In case there should be any urgent
necessity for his presence, he can
reach Washington in eight hours.
Before leaving, President McKin
ley approved the report made by
the Military Court of Inquiry,
which will at once be made public.
There is no truth in the rumor
that Gen. Miles is either to be re
moved from the command of the
Army or court-martialed as a result
of the report.
Judging from the latest Philip
pine advices, the end is near,
and no surprise would be felt in
official circles should Aguinaldo's
formal surrender occur any day.
The rebels have acknowledged
themselves fought to a standstill,
and were it not for the efforts of
Aguinaldo and the other Filipino
leaders to secure promises that they
would be given positions under the
local government, similar to those
which have been given to Cuban
officers in Cuba, the surrender
would have taken place before now.
They will get no promises other
than the general one made by the
Philippine Commission, that pend
ing the final disposition of the
matter by Congress, the islands
would be given home rule to as
great an extent as might be found
consistent with American interests.
The semi-oflicial announcement
that Admiral Dewey contemplates
an early return to the I". S., is
token to mean that he sees his
services will not be needed over
there much longer.
President McKinley hasn't told
anybody that there would be an
extra session of Congress, simply
because he has not fully decided to
call one. lie has talked the matter
over with prominent Republicans
and has intimated his belief that
circumstances will probably make
it wise to call Congress together in
advance of the regular session in
December, and has advised Sena
tors and Representatives to make
their plans accordingly. This is as
far as the matter has gone. There
There may or may not be an extra
session, but the probabities favor
one. There is lots of work ahead
of Congress, and if there is no
extra session, the house cannot
hope to get down to business be
fore the Ist of January, because
the new Speaker could not get the
Committees arranged before that
date. An extra session would en
able all that to be done beforehand,
and would undoubtedly greatly e\-
ncdiate legislation of all kinds.
good politics to call an extra ses
sion, not only because it would
shorten the Speakership contest,
but because it would give more
time to act on the financial bill,
which has lieen prepared by the
House caucus committee, and al
low it to get before the country
and be fully discussed and under
stood before the excitement of the
Presidential campaign begins. The
need of legislation for our new
possessions, especially Hawaii and
and Porto Rico, is also an argu
ment for an extra session.
As a rule, Republican Repre
sentatives resent the attempt,
which they say is being made by
outsiders, to make the Speakership
contest a sectional fight of the
West against the Last, and present
indications are that the attempt
will fail, and that it will be solely
a contest of men in which section
alism will not be an important
factor.
The Folly of F-action.
Punxsutawney Spirit.
There is something so supremely
silly and puerile in the idea of a
candidate for a county office, who
has nothing whatever to do with
the election of a United States
Senator, running on a Quay or an
anti-Quay platform, that one can
scarcely conceive it possible. Think
of a man trying to divide his party
011 factional lines, and fighting his
campaign under the mean little
banner of prejudice, instead of
running on his own merits! When
we vote for a man for Sheriff,
Treasurer. Prothonotary, Register
and Recorder, Commissioner or
Auditor, we are supposed to do it
because we think the man is worthy
of it, and would make a capable
official. What has his opinion
about the merits or demerits of a
public man got to do with it? A
man who runs for the Legislature
when Senator Quay is a candidate
for re-election may properly state
who he intends to support in order
to give the voters a chance to ex -
press themselves intelligently. But
we care nothing for the opinions of
candidates for other ollices on that
score. That is a private matter,
and of no consequence to the public.
A man who will attempt to stir up
factional bitterness in Ins party
because he thinks it may redound
to his personal benefit, is not en
titled to any consideration from
any source. There was a struggle
for liberty of conscience in religious
matters which lasted through many
terrible and bloody years. It is
over now , and the man who bates
his fellow on account of his religi
ous convictions is regarded as
properly belonging to the intellec
tual boyhood of the human race.
Are we to become less tolerant in
politics than in religion? Shall
we substitute prejudice for prin
ciple, and narrow-mindedness for
merit.
ALL AROUND THE COUNTY.
Buckwalter.
Dr. R. P. Heiliuan was seen on our
streets last week.
Thomas Waddington was seen wheel
ing on our streets last week.
John Morrison and wife passed
through our town last Thursday.
Mrs. Beldin and daughter Ruth were
Emporium visitors last Thursday.
Lonnie Moser was in our town last
week spinning old yarns of years ago.
Fred Norton left Monday for Cler
mont where he has .accepted a position.
T. Denney who has a large wood job
at Glen Hazel was seen in our city Sat
urday.
Geo. Skinner who has been in North
Carolina for the past year returned
home last week.
W. C. Heath is the only up to date
farmer on West Creek, if he did plant
his onions upside down.
Mike Hillyard will raise in the
neighborhood of 10,000 bushels of po
tatoes 011 the strength of the iron
works starting up.
W. L. Thomas' smiling face was
seen in our town last week. It does us
good to see you W. L., but would
rather see you back in the office of
County Treasurer, as tax payers never
had a better servant.
Claud Lyons and Archie Phesant
passed through our burg last week,
with the bark peeiers swing, their
pants rolled up to their knees and
shoes full of teeth, headed for Dixon's
Camp, where they have taken a large
contract to peel bark and cut logs.

It seems that your left hand reporter
got a few of us in trouble last week,
according to Anthony's view of the
case; that the four defunct members of

the S. L. 0., was found under Hill's
filing bench. If that be correct, we ask
out of respect to both clubs, that Em
porium L C., will give them a decent
burial and not burn them at the stake.
That is not according to our laws gov
erning our beloved organization.
Our club met in regular session last
night and the matter was reported to
the high mucky muck, and came near
causing trouble. Hanscomb wanted
to withdraw, but was finally persuaded ■
not to leave the club while good mem- 1
bers were scarce Geo. Decker and
Pap Blodget took first premium for
services rendered. Pap Berfield ar
rived and said that he had been plant
ing a new kind of potatoes, that need
no washing nor peeling before cooking,
as they ground clean and without any
skin. He expects to monopolize the
potato market in the future. Harry
Decker reported that he was champion
rat catcher. Out of five, he caught
four in a steel trap, the fifth was a
sharp old chap. After fruitless efiorts
he found the last rat in the garret of
his house. His ratship had procured a
pint bottle and crawled in, corking the
bottle tightly after him. Harry got
the last rat. VV. 11. Michaels told a
whopper; most too lengthly to repeat.
A special invitation to Johnny Hogan,
Tom Davins and the whole Irish nine
to visit us some meeting night. We
will give them some pointers. Now as
I there are no farther business the club
adjourned to Joe M's setting room for
refreshmants. FIDE.

The Quay Fight.
The Philadelphia Inquirer ifl receiving
a well-deserved shower of bouquets from
the friends of lair play. It made a great;
battle for right, justice and the unmask- '
ing of hypocrisy and hate, and fully
merits public approval and applause.—
Lewisburg News.
Those Mugwumps who are saying that j
Senator Qnay will not take his seat
through appointment by Governor Stone
will have to revise their guess. Almost
every Senator who happens into Wash- !
ington now-a-days says that he expects to j
vote to seat the man from Beaver, and j
this is not encouraging to the anti-Quay i
people. —11 a rrisburg Telegraph.
No Constitution, either Federal or ;
State, contemplates that a State shall be |
deprived of any portion of its representa
tion at Washington on account of the
failure of the State Legislatura to per
form a constitutional duty. The Legis
lature of Pennsylvania plainly violated
such an obligation. Justice demands
that there shall be some relief for the
people from the consequences, and it is
naturally found in such action as Gov
ernor Stone took with commendable
promptitude in appointing, United States
Senator the nominee of the Republican
majority in the Legislature.— Pittsburg
Press.
It ought to be apparent to even the
112 factionally-blinded opponents of Senator
Quay by this time that they are not with
j the people—the common people—for
j which they presume to speak. Every
i primary election emphasizes the fact that
I the Beaver statesman is in touch with
j those who make up the good citizens
j of every community and that the fiery
: furnace of abuse and misrepresentation
| has only cemented the strong bands
which bind him to the body of the peo
; pie. Those who are fighting Senator
Quay must realize some day that they have
been engaged in a man hunt that was
not creditable to them and which can
i have but one result—the humiliation of
: all concerned in it. It is a fact that no
I man in public life has ever done so much
for his friends as Matthew Stanley Quay
and it would be strange indeed if at this
time of unjust attack they should desert
him. Senator Piatt and other repre
sentative Republicans in the higher branch
| of Congress have shown that they appre
j ciate the worth of Senator Quay by de
claring openly and with much earnest
j ness that they will recognize the Gov
| ernor's right to appoint by their votes. —
