Editor Proa*:— The greatest interest is manifest ed at the State Department in the news which has just come from Co lombia that President Marroquin may seek to ratify the Panama canal treaty with the help of his ministers and without waiting for the action of Congress. As such action would he a wide deviation from the American conception of a president's powers, the constitution of Coiumbia is being carefully studied in order t,o ascertain, if possible, on what ground the Presi dent of Colombia assumes to have this power. It is known that public order has not been restored in the republic of Colombia and that every material consideration would indi cate the advisability of the ratifica tion of the treaty, but considerable doubt is expressed as to whether this country would be warranted in accepting a treaty ratified by so un usual procedure. Admiral Walker and other members of the Commis sion have arrived in Colon and the engineers in the party are already engaged in looking over the ground and inspecting the work performed on the Culebra cut. The wholesale investigation into affairs at the postollice Department still continues, and in the opinion of the Postmaster General will oc cupy another two months before they are completed. Since General Payne returned to Washington there has been a considerable de crease in the news obtainable by the newspapers and when j-our cor respondent asked the Postmaster General if he could not arrange to give out a few news items daily, Mr. Payne replied laconically, "Would you have me bell the cat?" Mr. Payne is most courteous to the newspapermen and receives them daily at -1 p. m. lie appears to have become accustomed to the cross questioning to which the twenty or thirty correspondents submit him and seems to enjoy what he calls his "press recep tions." It is evident that, regard less irregularitiesand such rascality as may have been practiced in the past, there will be a general re organization of the system. The Postmaster General isauthority for the statement that when this is completed it will be impossible for one official to make allowance and then pass upon the expenditures therefore and sign the vouchers. As no general reorganization has taken place since Mr. Wanamaker was Postmaster General and the gross receipts in the interval have increased from 856,000,000t0 81-10,- 000,000 annually, the necessity for an overhauling is but natural. The imports into the United States exceeded 81,000,000,000 in year ending March 1903. This is the first time in the history of our foreign commerce that tlie} r have exceeded that amount. Prior to 1870 they never reached one half billion dollars in a single year and it was not until 1890 that they reached 8750,000,000. Meanwhile, exports have grown with equal oi greater rapidity. In the twelve months ending with March last they amounted to 81,414,78(5,954 giving an excess of exports over im ports of practically 8414,000,000. It was not until 1892 that the ex ports of the United States exceeded 81,000,000,000 so that the rapidity of increase is most apparent. It is estimated by the Treasury officials I that should the exports for April, May and June average as high as those for Mavli the total exports for the fiscal year, which will clos<! I with the end of June will amount to over 81,500,000,000. Subscribe for the Pre,-jb; only $1.50 a year in advance. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.

Last Sunday afternoon when Buffalo Flyer was nearing Grove station, some person fired a rifle ball through one of the Pullman windows, the ball passing througli the first glass and breaking into pieces the second glass, which was of heavy plate. The conductor picked up the bullet which was flattened by coming in contact with the second glass. Uufortunately we (on our re turn from the Legislature, where we were victorious in our contest for a scat in that body, stolen from us last November by the most damnable defi ance of law) occupied a seat immedi ately in front of the window. The kind hand of Providence saved us and we are here today and hope to be, Providence permitting, on hand to fipht many more battles in the future for honest elections in Cameron county. We understand the railroad company are investigating the matter and we hope the careless individual will be punished as he should be. That we were not killed no doubt is a sad dis appointment to those dear (?) pious friends who have been plotting,schem ing, boodling and falcifying to defeat us, as well as other Republicans, for years. Freaks may froth as much as they like—they must take their medicine and accept the result. Right must and will triumph and the Elections com mittee of the Pennsylvania Legislature decided that 11. H. Mullin was entitled to the seat in the Legislature as Repre sentative from Cameron county for the years 1903 and 1904 and submitted their report to the House—only two votes (democrats) dissenting. This re port was given to the House by chair man Plummer, of Blair county, an able lawyer and a gentleman of integrity, and accepted by the House of Repre sentatives, upon roll call, by a vote of 119 for to 49 against. Right did tri umph; the Independent is mad, the little follow is full of hell-fire and brimstone and some of the lesser lights are wond ering and asking "why that last boodle scheme did not work." i To t'ne tirade editor of the Indepen t de:.' >:,t wish to say only a few words. | The author of the personal abusive at i tacks which are no doubt from the pen ; of one I. K. Hockley, the high priced ■ County Commissioner's Clerk, who de j votes his time, the peoples time, in i editing the Independent and telling ■ the democrats of Cameron county who may have office and who shall not, which have been hurled at us for I years,as well as our predeessor,the late ] C. B. Gould, have been allowed to pass ;by as unworthy of notice. We have never yet lowered ourselves as a j journalist to throw mud in our efforts | to defeat a political foe. I Take your medicine, my boy; it may I gag you, but get used to it. In time j you may be able to sing, "It's a shame | a measley shame, Harry Mullin is in, ( we are out." McDonald—Branson. I Cards announcing the marriage of | Miss Margaret McDonald to Mr. D. Roy Branson are issued by Mr. and j Mrs. A. A. Mac Donald, the ceremony having taken place Wednesday, April I 15th, only the immediate family and a ; few intimate friends being present. I The happy couple left for eastern j points to spend the honeymoon, after which they will be at home, No. 43 Long Avenue, Dußois, Pa. The bride, who is one of Emporium's most estim j able and intelligent young ladies,is uni versally respected by our citizens. Miss Maggie has the kindest wishes of our people for a long, happy and pros- I perous life. The groom, who is con nected with the Atkins Saw Co., as general agent, with headquarters at ' Dußois, is a popular gentleman and we bespeak a loving husband to a true, good wife. The PRESS especially ex tends its kindest wishes to Mr. and I Mrs. Branson. j Appealed to Governor to Veto Salus- Grady Libel Bill. HARHISBUKG, April 21.— Governor 1 Pennypacker and Attorney General Carson gave a hearing in the hall of ! the hou.-o of representatives to-day on the Salus-Grady libel bill. Several hundred representatives of newspapers—publishers and editors— from all sections of the state were present. Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press, was the first speaker on behalf of the newspaper interests. He discussed the unfair methods used in obtaining the passage of the bill. Alexander Simpson, Jr., of Philadel phia, spoke in support of the bill. He argued that publishers ought to be re sponsible for all mistakes. Richard C. Dale, of Philadelphia, a lawyer, also spolte in its support. Everybody reads the PRESS. flemorial Services. Almeron Chapman was a PRESS visitor yesterday.

Seger is offering some special in ducements this week in clothing. Call and see him. This is your opportunity to secure Bome of the bargains in clothing and gent's furnishings at N. Seder's. Frank Shives is remodling the house next to his store known as the "Bargelt house,"he having recently purchased the same. A friend sent nsftwo items for prbli cation. The writer failing to sign their name, as a guarantee of good faith, we cannot publish. If you want clothing why no buy of a reliable dealer, one who has been tried and not found wanting. N.

Y., manufactures of monuments, was in Ridgway on Saturday last, and made a contract for the erection of a fine mausoleum for 11. Schimraelfeng in Oakwook Cemetery, at Warren, Pa. The Foley Brothers have done a great deal of wcr. u for nidgwr.y people cw.d they give good satisfaction.—Ridgway Advocate. Beating liju printer uown u> a price which insures the cheapest job he can turn out is one sure way of defeating the ends of advertising. The saving of $lO on a piece of printing often costs the advertiser hundreds of dollars through the consequent loss of its effectiveness, but usually a paltry sparrow in the hands of such an advertiser is prized more highly than a carload of turkeys which might be had by releasing the small bird.—Jed Scarbord. The price of garden seeds has ad vanced to a higher point than at any other time for more than thirty years, on account ot the unfavorable weather of last year. The advance is partieu lary heavy on bult: seads, such as peas, beans and corn, which have gone up full 300 per cent. Package seeds have advanced, and the usual 5 cent packages will sell at 10 to 15 certs this spring. Cabbage, tomato, muskmelon, onion and squash seeds have increased fully 100 per cent, in catalogue price.— N. Y. Farmer. A gradual sentiment opposing the card of thanks, which almost invariably appears in local papers on the death of a friend or relative is rapidly becoming apparent. To make a public display of your graieiul ceiiuuients 10 persons, who in visiting the sick and burying the deed, have only performed their duty,is at all times uau form,and grates harshly on the nerves of a refined and sensitive nature. When people visit afflicted or bereaved families or other wise render assistance, they do so with the kindest of intentions, and are nefc looking for or expecting a public avowal of gratitude. If you ars con scious of kindness done, and grateful for it there are many more commend able ways of showing yourappreciaiion than by newspaper cards. A sincere and personal expression of thanks is ever s® much more effective and im pressive, than a public demonstration in journals.—Kane Republican. Branching Out. The Scranton, Pa., American School of Art and Photography, of which J. B. Schriever, formerly of Emporium, is President, has reorganized and increas ed its capital from SIO,OOO to SIOO,OOO, Shoulder Blade Broken. While William Weiman, chemist with the Emporium Iron Co., wan re turning from the coke ovens, his horse stumbled and fell, throwing Mr. Wei man to the ground, breaking his left shoulder blade. Dr. Bardwell is at tending the gentleman and he is doing as well as can be expected, after the severe injury. Mr. Weiman will tell you how dearly hs lovee that horse. Small« Pox. We have it on gcod authority that there are abort one hundred cases of small pox in St. Marys and vicinity at 1 the present time.
