How Long, Oh ! Lord.
During the last few days there has
been a great amount of suffering in
Emporium owing to the failure of the
gas supply. The greater portion of
citizens have depended upon the Gas
Company for their light and fuel,
very many of our people not being
prepared for such inconvenience as
as they are now meeting. It is high
time that we had some understanding I
with the gas company, and not place
the health of our people in jeopardy.
If they have not the gas to supply
their Emporium customers they should
say so, that all might make other ar
rangements. Our citizens are justly

How long, Oh ! Lord, is this going to
continue?
Mr. Geo. A. Walker, went to St.

is an outrage.

SIBLEY A FREE LANCE.
Favors McKlnley's Policy and Will
not Stick to Democratic Doctrine.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 25.—Representa
tive Joseph Sibley, of the twenty
seventh Pennsylvania district, who
was elected to Congress last year over
Hon. Charles W. Stone, Republican,
has arrived in Washington with his
family for the winter. In conversation
with a representative of the Leader to
day Mr. Sibley intimated very strong
ly that he was no longer in strict ac
cord with the Democratic party in all
issues, and intended to vote as his con
science dictates on questions of vital in
terest to thelcountry's welfare regard
less of past or present political affilia
tions.
Mr. Sibley will caucus with the Dem
ocratic party on the question of select
ing candidates for the empty honor of
speaker, clerk, door-keeper and ser
geant-at-arms, of the house. He will
not be bound to any political policy the
caucus may adopt, however, and will
act independently on all questions
which may come up in the house.
"I have no political ambition and
am free to act as my conscience dic
tates," he said.
Mr. Sibley will support Representa
tive Sulzer, of New York for theDemo
errtic nomination for speaker.
It will be recalled that Mr. Sibley
was the original free Bilver man in the
Pennsylvania delegation in the Fifty
third Congress, and created a sensa
tion in the House by his speech against
the repeal of the Sherman purchasing
act of the extra session of that Con
nress. When Bryan was nominated
for President at Chicago in 1896, Mr.
Sibley was offered the vice presidential
nomination, but declined it.
"Will you support the administra
tion in its colonial policy regarding
Cuba and the Philippines?" Mr. Sibley
was asked.
"Most assuredly. Every person
who has the wolfare of his country at
heart ought to stand by President Mc-
Kinley until the war in the Philippines
is over and also support him in his
policy of territorial expansion. Why,
sir," said Mr. Sibley, with some em
phasis, "If President McKinley should
adopt any other policy in the future
than he has been pursuing sinca the
beginning of the war with Spain, he
would go down in history the most
generally condemned President this
country ever had. What would have
happened to President Thomas Jeffer
son had ho listened to the clamor
against tho policy to purchase Louis
iana? Would he to-day be still living
in the hearts of his countrymen ? I
answer no. It was the best thing
that ever happened this country that
Mr. Jefferson took the bold stand he
did on the Louisiana question."
"Then you think President Me Kin-
I ley's territorial policy ought to be sus
tained ?"
"I certainly do and if the opportu
nity offers I will make a speech on tho
floor of the houss in support of his ex
pansion policy," replied Mr. Sibley.
"Then you are not in favor of giving
independence to the Cubans and Fil
ippinos ?
"I am not prepated to say at present
whether I am opposed to giving them
independence or not," replied Mr.
Sibley. "This is not the time to settle
that question. That will come later
and will finally adjust itself. It is the
duty of this country to first bring the
rebellion in the Philippines to a hasty
close and then establish law and order
in the islands. After that, if Congress
thinks the inhabitants of Cuba and the
Philippines are capable of self govern
ment it may be a good thing to give
them a trial. It is my opinion, how
ever, that it will be many years before
the Philippinos will be capable of
maintaining self-government. It is
different with the Cubans. They are
more intelligent than the Filippinos
and ought to become Americanized
more easily."
"It is reported Mr. Sibley, that you
are 110 longer in sympathy with the
Democratic party on the question of
free silver."
"Well, I don't know about that," re
plied Mr. Sibley. "In my opinion free
silver is no longer an issue. The great
prosperity which the country is now
enjoying ought to be evidence enough
to convince anybody that the financial
policy of the present administration is
all right on that question."
At this juncture of the conversation
Mr. Sibley excused himself to join his
family in a ride about the city in his
new automobile.
During the interview Mr. Sibley was
asked whether or not he thought Mr.
Roberts, the Mormon representative
elect from Utah, ought to be given his
seat in the house.
"Being one of the jurors in the case,"
he said, "I must decline to answer that
question. From a constitutional stand
point, however, I will say that I do not
believe he will be seated."-—Pittsburg
