PERTINENT POLITICAL POINTS.
Good bye Petti grew. Shut the
door after you and don't come
'jack.
Extremes sometimes meet. The
engagement of the Marquis of
Headfort to Miss Boote has been
announced.
(Congress having set the example
all the theaters and grog shops of
the Capital were wide open last
Sunday in defiance of the law.
Hereafter inaugural committees
at Washington will put their trust
in the groundhog, even if he does
predict a month ahead rather than
in the Weather Bureau, which can't
guess right even twelve hours
ahead.
Despite the best efforts of the
Weather Bureau, Washington had
Dad weather for the inauguration.
This constantly recurring incident
should aid in the change of inaug
uration day from March 4 to April
30—but it won't.
For the first time in a half cen
tury, the Senate has a presiding
officer who will show that the Vice-
President is not as useless as the
fifth wheel of a wagon. Mo it,
Teddy, the people are at your
back.
President McKinley in his ad
dress, having reiterated his approv
al of the reciprocity treaties, held
ap by the Senate, each at the be
hest of one or more special inter
ests,there is still a chance that they
may be taken up and some of them
ratified.
The Nicaraugua treaty and bill
failed together on March 4, and it
is impossible for anything further
to be done in the matter until both
Houses of Congress shall meet
again. Meanwhile, Secretary Hay
will probably negotiate another
treaty on the subject. The delay
Is regrettable, but could not be
avoided.
Two-thirds of the River and
Harbor bill, talked to death by
Senator Carter on Monday last,
was absolutely indefensible. The
other third was meritorious but had
to suffer for being in such bad com
pany. X. 8.. The appropriation
for this district, of course, belonged
in the virtuous one-third.
Everybody who has studied the
effect of the Foraker resolutions on
business in Cuba and Porto Rico
•must deplore the addition of the
Hoar proviso, which is of similar
character, to the legislation in re
gard to the Philippines. Under
this, business will assuredly lan
guish and enterprise will die.
Jf Teddy takes the bit between
his teeth and, following the policy
laid down by Speaker Reed some
years ago, causes a vote to be taken
on the question of closure in the
United States Senate after there
has been a proper amount of debate
thereon, lie will show that it is
possible for a man to remain prom
inent and important even in the!
Vice-Presidency.
"WHY HE FLOPPED."
The Address of Hon. Joseph C. Sibley
Before the American Protec
tive Tariff League.
Congressman Joseph C. Sibloy was
one of the prominent guests and speak
ers at the annual banquet of the Amer
ican Protective Tariff League, held in
New York. In responding to the toast,
"A Democrat Who Flopped—Why He
Did It," Mr. Sibley said:
"Mr. Toastmaster: Some time since,
reasons being detuanded for the change
in my political beliefs, and the charge
being made that I was a 'flopper,' it
seemed proper to st'ate impelling reas
ons why not alone myself, but every
other erring sinner, blindly groping in
darkness along the pathway of perdi
tion, should, in the full blaze of the
twentieth century sunlight, choose
other and safer courses; seek pathways
trending not downward, but upward;
pathways whose bordors blossom with
the flowers of prosperity and peace,
and whose ends roach upward to the
J very summits of eternal truth.
"Mr. Toastmaster, however far from
the ways of truth my erring feet did
stray, however wida from the mark my
political shafts wero aimed, it is to me
a source of profound gratification to
recall the tact that I never sank so deep
into the bogs of the dismal swamp, was
never so forgetful of my duty to my
fellow-men, my country or my Creator,
as to imbibe the fallacies or preach the
doctrines of the Free-Trader. Given a
boy within whose breast a loving moth
er has implanted the germs of truth,
though wandering far from the polar
star of duty, he will still possess the
impulse for the higher and better life;
so am I taught by my own experience
that, given a man within whose mind
there have been laid, deep and broad,
the foundation principles upon which
as very corner stones we have as a na
tion reared in fair, harmonious and
majestic proportions our temples of
American industry, though the shocks
of time which shall try the solidity,
through fire which tests the purity and
worth of man's creations, will destroy
the wood, the hay, and the stubble, 'yet
the work shall abide which is built
thereon.'
"During the present session of Con
gress these queries have been upon the
lips of some faithful members, though
often careless observers: Has not the
Protective Tariff outlived its usefulness?
Should it longer be defended and its
policy promoted? Mr. Toastmaster,
the seed so carefully planted, the
growth so anxiously watche, so faith
fully tended, has grown with the life of
the Nation from the seed into the ma
jestic tree, which, though often shaken
by rude blasts and nipped by untimely
frosts, has strengthened in the storm
and tempest, and though late in its
bossoming, is now seen in the full per
fection of its fruitage. Shall we, who
rest beneath its ample shade, who are
healed in its leafage, and who now
taste the perfection of its fruitage, be
auked to lay the axe to the roots there
of? No, a thousand times, no! The
mission of the Protective Tariff is ac
complished only when all our great
resources of soil, of forest, and of min
eral are fully developed and dedicated
to the use of man. Your mission as a
league is unaccomplished until Ameri
can genius and industry shall have
conquered the markets of the world,
and this Nation shall have become the
great financial center, the great indus
trial center, wherein shall be fabricated
and wherein shall be distributed to the
world the creations of our genius and
of our civilization. The age of the
spear is passed; the age of the hammer
is here. Not upon the field of Mars,
but upon the forge of Vulcan; not in
flash of the sword, but by stroke upon
stroke of the hammer, shall link by link
be forged that glorious chain which
under the blessings of Providence shall
bind all men closer in the bonds of
brotherhood, and make of one kin all
the family of man.
Mr. Toastmaster, when the efforts of
your organization in behalf of Ameri
can industrial supremacy shall be
weighed, when your achievements in
behalf of national development are
closely scrutinized and impartially re
viewed, tuture generations, if not the
pressnt, wil! rise up and call you
blessed."
Letter to E. S. /"lurry.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: Lead and oil is no longer
the paint to be prosperous with.
As everybody knows, lead and oil
chalks and powders off in about three
years—three years is its limit.
Painters are putting a little zinc in
their lead to make it tough—it lasts a
good three years with a little zinc.
But painters don't like the job of
mixing zinc. It's a tedious job, and,
both being white, nobody knows when
the mixing is thorough. It gets half
mixed; and the paint goes on, a streak
of lead and a streak of zinc. That is
not good work.
The mistake made is in trying to do
by hand what is better done by ma
chinery. Hand-work can't compete
with machine-work.
Devoe lead and zinc is your paint.
It wears twice as long as lead and oil.
This reduces the cost of keeping a
house well painted to half.
Yours truly,
25 F. W DEVOE & Co.

Sinnamahonlng Liars' Club.
Editor Cameron County Press:"
The Sinnamahoning Liars club is bet
ter prepared to meet all comers now than
ever before. Since "Jack" Mead has re
turned from the Philippine Islands, uncle
Jake and Pap Berfield is nowhere with
such talent. Although Pap Blodget and
and Mike Sullivan tried hard, but they
could not face the music any longer.
O. L. Bailey has given up the job
teaching Saul Smith and he says that
no one but Beldin can teach him.
Harve Smith and lal Summerson got
into a dispute as to which one would get
nomination as delegate to the state con
vention of Liars', to be held at Wyside
in the near future. Ilanscom thinks the
honor should be conferred on him, but the
club thought different. Ilanscom said
he hadn't told but one this year. Then
Norman Johnson took the floor and said,
he would be a poor subject to represent
this club, it was decided to visit the
Emporium club as soon as Mike Murphy
recovers from the grippe. Dalrymple
says the" Emporium club has just initiated
several good members, the most promi
nent being Alfred Nelson, who is so much
delighted with the organization, that as
soon as the weather is favorable, ho in
tends building an addition to his hen
house, to be used as a club room."
Wo intend to take Wcss Barr and Ike
Bowen with us. We will then be pre
pared to meet this man Nelson, Ed
Morse and all others who maybe present.
Tom Suyder tried to break up the ses
sion by hitting Geo. Mead with a quid of
Standard navy. Pap Blodget got a few
pointers and the session closed.

Editor Press :
A Bible riddle —eau you guess it? :
Adam, God made out of dust,
But thought to make me first,
So I was made before thfe man
To answer Ood's most holy plan.
My body, God did make complete,
But without arms or legs or feet.
My ways and acts He did control,
Hut to my body gave no soul.
A living being I became.
And Adam gave to me my name.
From his presence I then withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.
I did my Maker's law obey,
(Swallowed) quite a curiosity.
The above was composed by an old
lady, years ago. Will give the reply by
another lady, next week.
We have plenty of snow here vet.
Mrs. W. Ray Smith is visiting her
morher-in-law at Huntley.

honing visited with her brother E. I.
Walker, over Sunday.
W. P. Barr purchased a fine yearling
colt, of Mr. Walker, Saturday last for
$40.00.
A. S. Bailey and P. W. Barr, two of
Huston Hill's practical farmers, enjoyed
a sleigh ride to Mason Hill and took din
ner at the yellow house.
E. I. Walker has rented a large stock
farm in New York State and he is now
sellintr off his possessions here preparatory
to taking up his new work.
A pleasant time was passed last Friday
at the home of Mr. James Cole, it being
Mrs. Cole's (list birthday. The good
lady has been an invalid for two years;
unable to leave her chair without assist
ance. A number of friends and relatives
gathered to cheer and give her a day of
enjoyment. She received tokens of love
and friendship, and after most elaborate
refreshments were served, and pleasant
wishes extended, the friends dispersed
for their own homes.
C. J. Miller, who was recently appoint
ed by the court to look after our poor,
bethought himself the other night that
he would begin by giving our poor girls
a sleigh ride, and unmindful of his ripen
iug love at Huutiey, they went as tar as
Huston Hill, where a bright idea struck
him and he wheeled his snapish steeds
around and pulled for home. We hope
this will not lead to the other poor girl
declning the attention of the overseer.

TREATMENT OF A COLD.
Some Good Advice by a Well Known Phy
sician.
A well known physician says that a
cold can be easily treated at its outset,
but if neglected may lead to la grippe and
pneumonia. He says that the best home
treatment for the euro of colds and la
grippe is Krause's Cold Cure Capsules.
He uses them almost exclusively in his
practice, as they do not affect the head as
does quinine, nor upset the stamach.
This remedy is prepared in soft, soluble
gelatine capsules, which are easily dissolv
ed by the warmth and fluids of the stom
ach. They are much preferable to little
hard, sugar-coated pills or tablets that
always offer objectionable resistance to
assimilation. Krause's Cold Cure posi
tively cures cold in the head, cold in the
chest, cold in the throat or cold in any
part of the body, and it will prevent the
development of bronchitis or pneumonia.
It is for sale by all first-class drug stores
at 25 cents a box. Sold by L. Taggart.

AN EXPOSITION BOOKLET.
Another Beautiful Production from the Bu
reau of Publicity of the Pan-
American at Buffalo.
Here comes another of the beautiful
booklets from the Bureau of Publicity
of the Pan-American Exposition, Buf
falo, N. Y. It consists of 16 pages and
a cover in light green. The unique
feature of it is the miniature reproduc
tion of the famous poster, "The Spirit
of Niagara," which has had a most re
markable demand. The envelope in
which the poster booklet is mailed also
bears a reproduction of this artistic
work. The booklet is a popular picture
book, the first page having an engrav
ing of the magnificent Electric Tower,
which is 391 feet high, and which will
form the glorious center-pirce of the
great Exposition. On the same page
is a miniature of one of the torch bear
ers which will adorn the wings of the
Electric Tower, and beside it a picture
of Niagara Falls. The second page
shows a picture of the Electricity Build
ing and five other small illustrations of
the use of electricity. The third page
shows the splendid group of buildings
erected by the National Government
and which will contain the Government
exhibits, also five miniature illustra
tions, one of them showing the life
saving station, where exhibitions will
be given daily by a picked crew of ten
men, during the Exposition. The
fourth page is devoted to the wonder
ful displays of government ordnance;
the fifth to the Machinery and Trans
portation building and four other illus
trations of modern machines and
vehicles. The center of the booklet
shows a hirdseye view of the Exposi
tion, and gives one some idea of the
great extent of the enterprise upon
which about $10,000,000 is being ex
pended. The grounds contain 350
acres, being half a mile wide, and a
mile and a quarter long Other pages
show horticulture, graphic arts and
mines, manufactures and liberal arts,
the Music Temple, the Pi'iza and its
beautiful surroundings, the Stadium or
athletic field, the agricultural, live
stock and ethnology features, and a
few of the 30 or 40 ingenious and m>vel
exhibits which promise to make the
Midway the most wonderful that has
ever been prepared for Exposition vis
itors. The last, page shows a ground
plan of the Exposition, whereon the
location of different buildings is indi
cated. The railroads will mako low
rates from all parts of the country dur
ing the Exposition, whicti opens May
1, and continues six months, and the
people of Buffalo are preparing to en
tertain comfortably the millions who
will attend. Anyone desiring a copy
of this booklet may have it free by ad
dressing the Pan-American Bureau of
Publicity.
