WASHINGTON LETTER.
| From our Regular Correspondent.j
Washington, April 20, 1907.
Those who have been looking
for a fresh sensation can rest, quite
satisfied. They have it in the pro
position the President has advanc
ed to cut off the election contribu
tions and have the legitimate elec
tion expenses of all parties paid by
the national government. This
might raise a wail from the anti
paternalists, for it would be pater
nalism of a sort, in fact of the most
pronounced sort. But it woidd be
fair to all parties and it ought to
result in freeing the elections from
the taint and suspicion of money
illegitimately used. The plan has
not yet been put forth officially,
but it has been talked over at the
White House and the President is
understood to be decidedly in favor
of it. So far as the details have
been worked out, it is that the sev
eral praties should be apportioned
funds for legitimate election ex
penses in proport ion to the vote that
they polled at the last preceding
similar election. This would keep
the government disbursement from
being all in the hands of the two
big parties. The funds would be
as carefully audited as any of the
other disbursements of the govern
ment, and not only would the peo
ple know where each dollar of the
money had gone, but they would
see to it that election expenses were
kept down within something like
reasonable limits. It would settle
the question of corporate campaign
contribution, would relieve the
corporations from being ''held up"
by enterprising campaign solicitors
and would assure all candidates of
sufficient funds to meet their legi
timate outlay.
It is just the sort of an unpleas
ant proposal for the President to
make, one that the machine politi
cians 011 neither side will relish,
and yet one that nobody could
honestly and reasonably oppose.
It would make the election cease to
to depend on the size of the
"Bar' 1," and would throw hosts
of ward heelers out of a job. It
will be delightful if the suggestion
is submitted to Congress to see the
number of ways in which the pro
fessional politicians will try to get
out of fairly facing the issue. It
is almost sensation enough for one
week, and will give a number of
"statesmen" something to think
about between now and the next
session of Congress.
The State Department received
this week another $50,000 in aid
of the Chinese famine fund. This
has beon forwarded to the Mission
ary relief committee in China from
whom a report has just been
received showing the progress of
the work up to' date. There has
been over $200,000 contributed by
this country since the call for
funds by the President, and the
missionary committees state that
they have now 011 their register
100,000 famine sufferers who are
being fed from the funds and all of
whom it is believed can be kept
alive till the next harvest, which
premises to be reasonably good.''

Why Not Emporium?
The Phoenix Lead Company, while
digging a tunnel iu their mine located
on the Shawaugunk Mountain in New
Jersey, struck a vein of paying gold
quartz. Tho tunnel revealed zinc,
with traces of copper, and iron. Ma
chinery has been purchased to develop
the gold, and many persons are carry
ing gold and lead quartz in their
pockets.
Near Mouclora, Mexico, a mining
operation was recenty performed for
the purpose of reaching the workings of
an old copper mine. But the contract
ors had hardly commenced digging be
fore they discovered a mass ot gold
ore ranging from sls to S2O per ton.
This discovery led the mine owners to
remove the top of the mountain Their
labors were rewarded by the finding
of fabulous riches. A great gold ore
body was laid bare, which the experts
state runs deep into tho body of the
mountain, and the value of this vein is
worth millions of dollars.
Until quite recently Cameron county
lias depended upon its forests of lim
ber for support, but an industrial
revolution in this hitherto undeveloped
part of the Slate has begun. Iron works,
powder plants, and other
industries point the trend of the times.
Why not have the mineral resources
investigated? Who knows if in the
bosom of these mountain chains a
hidden wealth may not await the for
tunate finder?
And in this connection, why over
look the possibilities of the Sizerville
jvater? It is wasting its benefits in
that lone hamlet among the hills.
Why not pipe it down to Emporium,
and have a large summer resort here?
Left in the hands of a straggling popu
lation the Sizerville water can never be
conducted to a large enterprise, be
cause tourists avoid the byways of the
world. But if sufficient capital and
ambition is enlisted to pipe it to the
county town, in a very few years it is
safe to predict that Emporium may be
no mean rival of the famous Carlsbad
Springs in Germany; for by actual
analysis the water has the same pro
perties. With mineral waters at our
very doors, why do we overlook its
advantages? Why are we iudifferent
to the population that could make a
Saratoga if Sizerville and Emporium
would but combine?
Lend us your water, sister ham
let, and presently we shall extend,
the boundaries of our little capi
tal, sweeping you into an em
brace that will be far more profitable
than if you try to stand alone. In
union there is strength.
I would like to suggest a few other
directions for prosperity to advance,
but lest I weary the patience of your
readers, I will abstain for the present.

Pleasant Relations.
For several years past Emporium
Borough has received very little, if
any, consideration at the hands of the
P. & E. R. R., notwithstanding the fact
Emporium pays the P. R. R.,. more
money than any station between Har
risburg and Erie. Repeated efforts
have been made in the past to have
the Erie Flyer stop at the upper sta
tion, with little attention paid to our
requests. Our citizens recently sent
in a petition, which was generally
sigiied and promptly granted.

The most sober minded people ofLen

lowing story, which Eva Condon of tho

illustrates this fact: "My venerable
friend and his wife," said Miss Condon
"were the most hospitable people 1
have ever known, but on one occasica
they had a visitor who had prolonged
his visit beyond all reason. So finally
one day the old gentleman said:
"My friend, I am afraid thee will
will never visit us again."
"Oh yes, I shall," said the visiter:
"I have enjoyed my visit very much, 1
shall certainly come again."
"Nay," said the Quaker, "I think
thee will will not visit us again."
"What makes you think I will not
come again?"

the old gentleman, "how canst thee
