DELOS BU KLINOA ME.
Sizerville, Pa., Feb. '2O, 189i«.
President MeKinley. it is said,
favors an extra session of the State
Legislature to fill the vacancy in
the United States Senate rather
than have the Republican factions
tarry their light to the polls in
It 100.
After all, the biggest trust is the
country newspaper, well savs an
exchange. It trusts almost every
body and for that reason the peo
ple like it. It is the only trust on
earth that is worked to its limit,
and the only trust where the pro
prietor gets the smallest dividends.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June 12th. 1899.
President Mckinley does not
alk polities publicly, but among
his personal friends lie expresses
pleasure at the outlook in Ohio,
aid no man knows the politics of
i hat -fate better than he does, lie
think- the ticket nominated by the
Republicans is a strong one, and
-ays that no Republican in the
state can give a logical reason for
not loyally supporting it. He is
confident that the ticket will be
elected by a very large majority.
Representative Dick, who will be
the active manager of the Ohio
campaign returned to Washington
ui a jovial state of mind, absolutely
certain of a victory. He says the
campaign will not be started until
about the middle of September,
but that when started, it will be
pushed aggressively until election
day.
Having failed in their open light
to discredit the Philippine policy
of the administration, the anti-im
perialists. so called, have resorted
to secret intrigues. There are
reasons for belief that they are be
hind the stories alleging serious
disagreement between Gen. Otis
and the t'ivil Philippine Commis
ioners: also much ol' the criticism
of the withholding of recent dis
patches from the Philippines, by
i • War Department. 1 here is no
disagreement, and the dispatches
•> ve been withheld for good and
uthcient reasons, l»v order of Pres
dent MeKinley.
In addition to getting all of the
''■publiean votes for Speaker, Col.
Henderson is getting good words
rom his political opponents on
very hand. Representative
' nderwood. of Alabama, said:
Henderson has made the
most wonderful Speakership cam
paign in the history of this gov
ernment. 1 have yet to see the
first I >emocratic Representative
who is not pleased with the good
luck of the genial gentleman from
lowa. Having served ou the same
committee with him. I am especi
ally pleased at his coming elevation
to the second highest office in the
land."
\ctiilg Secretary of War. Mcikle
john gave a patient hearing to a
• ommittee of Cubans who are in
Washington trying to secure a
modification of the order of the
War Department, granting a post
ponement of the settlement of all
debts incurred before last Decem
ber. The order was issued for the
benefit of impoverished planters,
Co prevent their land being sold
M cause they could not at once
the cash to meet old obliga
tionc. but this committee claims
: hat it has done more harm than
good, and that it is now almost
impossible for planters to secure I
loans in Havana, although there!
was never so much idle money in j
the hands of capitalists in that
city. It is doubtful whether the I
order will be modified, as the '
matter was very carefully gone j
over before it was issued. The
chairman of the committee, speak
•ng of the general situation in Cuba
said: "We are much in need of a
civil guard in Cuba as the island is
poorly policed. I wish to deny all
these wild stories of disorder in
Havana, as we are getting along
nicely and quietly- You magnify
!i, C tban bandits into a great affair. |
ind yet you forget that you your- |
-< lye are nw chasing train robbers
in the W«*;-t. Again, is a tiff be
tween a Cuban and a Spaniard anv
more terrible than one of your
lynching-7 Cuba is not such a
bad pine, and 1 hate to see the-e
'
HUI MeCook, at Dawson City, bear
out the statements that Alaska is
likely to produce more gold than
the Canadian Yukon section.
After describing the success in the
Alaskan gold-fields known as the
Forty Mile, Eagle City, Seventy
Mile and Keyuk mining districts,
the Consul wrote: "It is surmised
that Alaska will exceed the Cana
dian Yukon in gold-output in a
few years, if properly developed.
It covers more gold bearing terri
j tory and the gold so far discovered
: is evenly distributed, not being in
1 pockets, as is the case on many
! creeks in the Klondike district,
where one claim may be rich and
the adjoining one worthless.
The Commission named by Pres
ident MeKinley to investigate and
i report upon the best route for a
ship canal across the Isthmus of
I Panama, in accordance with an
\et of the last Congress, has nine
' members instead of seven ;is at
first proposed. Hear Admiral
Walker, who was President of the
; Commission which has just made
an exhaustive report on the Xica
! ragua route, is President of the
1 new Commission. The only poli
: tician on the Commission is ex-
Senator Pasco, of Florida., who was
j chosen to represent the strong
| Southern element which favors
| building a canal. The Commission
| will endeavor to make a report by
| the time Congress meets, and
! while there is no certainty, there is
| a general belief that it will favor
| the Nicaragua route, notwithstand
j ing the extraordinary efforts of the
| agents of the French company
J which controls the Panama route.
Glorious Nows.
Comes from I). B Cargile,of Washita,
| I. T. He writes: "Four bottles of
; Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer
| of scrofula, which had caused her great
I suffering for years. Terrible sores
i would break out on her head and face
i and the best doctors could give no
I help; but her cure is complete and her
j health is excellent." This shows what
| thousands have proved—that Electric
j Bitters is the best blood purifier known.
I It's the supreme remedy for eczema,
j tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and
! running sores. It stimulates liver,
kidneys and bowels, expels poisons,
helps digestion, builds up the strength.

The First Anniversary.
It is just a year since the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul road inaugurated
its celebrated Pioneer Limited pass^n-1
ger train service between Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis.
This service marked a new era in the
railway world in the line of passenger j
accommodations. At a cost of a quar-1
tor of a million dollars that progressive !
company furnished the traveling public j
in its Pioneer Limited train, comfcrts j
and facilities the best ever produced. ;
This train has been described many I
times in newspapers and magazlres, |
but should be seen and examined to be |
appreciated. In beauty of finish, rich- j
ness and elegance of furnishing n< th- j
ing equal to it has ever been attempted I
by any other road. The car builders j
were nearly a year completing the j
Pioneer Limited trains ( there are two !
—one leaving Chicago for the West
and the other leaving the Twin Ci ies 1
for the East every evening in the year) j
and they stand to-day a monument to !
the builder's art No regular passen
ger train service in America is as veil |
known as the Pioneer Limited. Forn i
the standpoint of passenger traffic the j
past twelve months have been the j
most successful in the history of the |
St. Paul road, made so very largely by j
the Pioneer Limited. The patronage i
of this service is a striking illustration (
of the fact that the public appreciates a !
good thing. 16-St
