GOOD WORK IS COMMENDED State Dairy Union Indorses Gover nor Stone's Crusade Against Oleo. BITTER PARTISANS ARE REBUKED I n Nil r lire lit t'orriiiitlon Kinul tlie l.nflt Hope of the Opponents of the 11 e eleetlon of Colonel >l. S. tluaj- to the Vnlteil State* Semite. (Speclul Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Dec. 18.—A complete and emphatic rebuke was administer ed to the insurgents and their news-i paper combine by the state convention of the Pennsylvania State Dairy' tvnion assembled at' Corry, Pa., last \veek. The administration of Governor Stone has been the subject of malicious at | taclis by men and newspapers seeking j to tear down the Republican organiza tion for their selfish purposes. Every farmer and dairyman in Pennsylvania knows that under Governor Stone's ad* ministration the illicit truffle in oleo has beeu the subject of a determined crusade. Many arrests have been made and convictions in court have followed. Despite these facts a small coterie of men identified with the state grantee, who are engaged in factional politics, most of them being Democrats, have sought to misrepresent the state admin* istration. The Pennsylvania State Dairy union is composed of men who do not allow politics to interfere with their ideas of fairness and honor. At their conven tion at Corry these resolutions wore unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the Pennsylva nia State Dairy union heartily in dorses the efforts of the dairy and food commissioner to enforce the laws of Pennsylvania in relation to the illegal sale of oleomargarine; "Whereas. We recognize the in adequacy of the penal provisions of the present oleomargarine law, to secure proper enforcement of the same, "Resolved. That we instruct the executive committee of tliis organ ization to confer with the secretary of agriculture for the recommenda tion of such additional legislation as shall enable the pure food com missioner to effectively enforce the laws in relation to the sale of oleo margarine." The above resolutions were present ed by the board of managers of the Dairy union, with their unanimous recommendation, after having made full investigation into the work of the dairy and food division of the depart ment of agriculture during the year. A full and detailed statement was made by Secretary Hamilton, of the depart ment of agriculture, before the genera! meeting of the Dairy union, after which the resolutions were adopted without r. dissenting voice. This indorsement of the work of tho agricultural department during tho past year, in its efforts to suppress tho oleomargarine trade, comes with special force, since the Dairy union not only represents the entire dairy indus try of Pennsylvania, but also because the present law was framed by them, and it was through their efforts that it was passed by the legislature of 1899. The statement of Secretary Hamil ton, showing what has been done and the difficulties that lie in the way of the proper enforcement or the law, con vinced the entire membership of tho Dairy union that the present law waa defective in several important respects, and that the department of agriculture had done all that was possible, under existinsr conditions, to enforce it. Secretary of Agriculture Hamilton recommended that the law be modified so as to permit the agents of the de partment to enter places of business, make inspection of their stock, and if goods are found which are suspected of being adulterated the agent shall have power to demand samples for analysis. This amendment to the pres ent law will greatly simplify its work ings and make it possible for the de partment to enforce its provisions, without having to subject its agents to the humiliation of disguising them selves and resorting to questionable methods in order, to secure samples of suspected goods. The executive committee of the Dairy union were instructed to confer with tho secretary of agriculture, with a view of preparing a bill that will remedy the defects of the present law for submission to the legislature at it.n coming session. INSURGENT CORRUPTION FUND. The outcome of the canvass for th" election of a United States senator is attracting widespread attention. While those familiar with the inside work ings are satisfied there is no doubt about the re-election of Col. Quay, tho insurgents are working night and day to keep him from getting enough votes to elect, and thus throw the legislature into another deadlock. The money resources of the insur gents seem to be still plentiful, judg ing from the character of the campairn they are still carrying on throughout the state. Agents are on the go con stantly, working upon doubtful mem bers, and particularly seeking to get Democrats to sign papers pled gin - themselves to act with the insurgents in the organization of the houso. These men are not to be regarded as working for nothing, nor is it to be assumed by any practical politician that they have no hope of large rewards in the event of their "landing" one or more Dem ocratic member*. What inducement they are offering, if any, has yet to l>-> revealed, but It is more than probable that the methods of these emissaries will sooner or later become the subject of public scandal, and that those who play with fire are apt to be severely burnt before they are through with their nefarious work. To cover up their trac+w the insur gents are putting out through their newspapers the same old stories that were retailed by them during tho der? 1- loek of the last session, that the friends of Col. Quay hope to get Democratic votes through the use of money. The same methods of intimidation and blackmail are being employed to drive Democrats into the Flinn insur gent pen and afterward lead them as so many sheep in any direction that Flinn and Martin may determine. IGNORING GUFFEY. Through promise or expectation of getting place in the event of Bryan's election, not a few Democrats implicit ly obeyed Guffey in the last combina tion which the Democrats made with the insurgents. Guffey has now noth *ng in the way of patronage to hold up for the Democratic members. They are j all in a position to think and act for j themselves, and they are evidently go- | lng to do that very thing. Many of them have legislation need- j ed by their respective localities, which they want to have passed at this ses- | sion of the legislature, and they recog nize the fact that in order to get the 1 votes to pass their bills they must act ! judiciously, and not blindly follow the ; directions of Col. Guffoy or any one j else. The regular Republicans will un- 1 questionably control the appointments ! of the committees of both the senate j and the house, and the Democrats who ; want to be potential in this session of the general assembly will not necessa rily antagonize'the men who can help them to get through what legislation they may desire for their respective ' districts or consistencies. For these and other reasons Guffey finds it impossible to get the names j of many Democrats to any pledge to • act with the insurgents. The belief that Col. Quay will ho 1 elected upon the first ballot is growing among members of the legislature who have heretofore been 111 doubt, anil with this feeling abroad the insurgents j and their Democratic allies will soon j find that they will cut a very small fig ure at Harrisburg this winter.

J A native of the mountain district of Kentucky had occasion togo on a journey recently and before starting j took out an accident policy. lie chanc- i ed to be one of the victims of :i railway | collision, and the next morning bis j widow, armed with it newspaper re port, in which his name was mention ed among the killed, called on the j agent of the insurance company and ! demanded the money. "Rut, madam," said the agent, "we will have to have more definite proof before we can pay your claim." "More proof!" exclaimed the bereav ed woman. "Why, he's dead'rn a door- ; nail, I reckon." "Possibly, my dear madam," an- j swered the polite agent, "and I'm very sorry." "Sorry! You are sorry, are you?" "I certainly am, madam. I sincerely sympathize with you in your sad af fliction." "But hain't you goln to give me the j money what's comin to me?" "Not today. Your claim will have to i be investigated first." "That's just like a good for notliin man," angrily retorted the bereaved ! woman. "You all are mighty perlite ; 'bout tilings so long as they hain't cost in you nothin, but the minuet a j poor, lone female does git a chance to git holt of a lectio spondin money you got tho gall to say you're sorry." Aud tho indignant female slammed tho door.—Chicago News. Her Knowledge of Cltlneße. A young woman at a watering place one summer made a reputation as a profound linguist in a rather odd man lier. She called one day at a Chinese laundry where she had left a shirt I waist, but it could not be found, as j there was no entry in the book of hiero- i glyphs corresponding to her pink slip, j After a half hour's search the China- j man found the entry. A mistake had ■ been made, so the entry was crossed | out and a new set of hieroglyphs in j tiny characters placed below. She was i told that the waist would be laundered j Immediately, and she could get It the I next day. The next day the young woman call- I ed for it, accompanied by three other j young women. At the seashore the ex citement of a visit to the Chinese laun dry Is not to be despised. The China man to whom the pink slip was pre sented was not the laundryman of the day before, and he experienced the same difficulty in finding tho identify ing character, finally saying, "Not in j book." The girl answered calmly, "I can find ! It,"and tho Chinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves un- | til she came to one that had an entry ! crossed out with another in tiny char- i actors under It, she handed it to the j Chinaman. "There it is," and, to his j surprise, he found it. "You only lady I know spik Chi- j nose," lit* said. And the other girls | looked upon her with admiration.— j Kansas City World. A Pnrnon'n I'nn. A writer in The Cornhill Magazine credits the late Canon Bingham with the following bit of wit: He was driving one day with other clergy to a clerical meeting, when the 1 conversation turned upon the meaning of the two places they were nearlng, Wool and Wareham, in the county of Dorset. ] "How do you account for the origin of these names, Canon Bingham?" ask ed one of the party. "Don't you know this is a sheep coun ty," replied the canon, "and at Wool you wool the sheep and at Wareham you wear 'em?" Not Sensitive.
