A voLUME { OLD SERIES — S. XL THE CENTRE REPORTER. By FRED KURTZ. The republican party of our county has been ruptured again. County Auditor Hewes stands on side and the Bellefonte Republican on the other. Whether it will extend into national politics time will tell.

Decutar, lllinois, has had a rel revival on a large séale in the Methodist church, the meeting, under Rev. Mr Harrison, having been in progress some ten weeks. A report of the meeting says: To-day, 8th, the Methodist church was filled four times with 1,000 to 1,200 per sons attending the all-day jubilee servi- ces. Over one thousand persons have been converted at the Rev. Mr. Harri son's meetings, which were begun ten weeks ago. The first meeting to-day was at 6 a. m., when 600 to 800 persons at- tended, and many converts gave their ex perience. The resident and two visiting clergymen spoke at the 10 o'clock meet- ing, and this afternoon the boy preacher told his personal experience, which was supplementary te his talk on the bap- tism of fire. The eleventh week of the revival closed to-night with a monstrous congregation. Nightly there have been from forty to sixty seckers at the altar and thirty to thirty-five conver: | gions. The total number of converts to | date is 1,020, with 1,000 more on the anx- ous seat. Harrison said to-day that he | would not leave Decatur until his work eu od, which means be will stay) on. it that he « n , al postal ie grew better ot Ap ssn Business is igious there as long as the crowds come, and there is no abatement whatever in the interest of this revival, which all visiting ministers declare to be the most wonder- ful in its result they ever attended. Per- sons seeking religion have come here a distance of one hundred miles, Parents from neighboring towns come here with their children and stay until thev are converted. i — o— THE PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT. The temperance constitutional amend- ment advocates have not yet rallied from the shock they received by their failure to carry their point in the Committee on Constitutional Reform. It is conceded on all sides that the amendment proposi- tion is killed. The indemnification even if it should pass the Legislature, will never be adopted by the They will never consent to sad- dle damages upon themselves or the State Treasury that will reach between fifty There 18 one brewery, as an instance, in Phila- delphia that represents a capital in real estate and appliances of one million dol- lars. There is a large class of temperance people, too, who will not under any cir- cumstances bind themselves to contri- bute a dollar to the liquor interest. They will therefore, be bitterly opposed to the idea of indemnification. The amendment agitators are in a very unhappy condi- tion, and have fairly been caught be- tween “the devil and the deep sea.” Be- fore they will permit the amendment to pass the House in the present shape they will sacrifice the bill itself. Mr. Emery, leader of the temperance forces, freely admits that the fight is lost, but says he will go down with his colors fly- ing and with his “boots on.” Clause, people. the an . The Greensburg Democrat says Congress spends its time now mainly discussing the tax on whiskey during the day and consuming the article itself during the night. «> In the House there has been a cutting down of the tariff, in a reduction of the duty on iron and steel ;—a victory for the anti-tariff men. Who would have looked for such action in a republican house ? The duty on scel railway bars and rail- way bars mdde in part of steel was re- duced to $15 per ton. This is a reduction of 13 dollars a ton from the present rates and about 3 dollars per ton from the rate reported by the Tariff Commission and committee on ways and means. still in another important campaign republican orators and organs will at- tempt to humbug people in the manufac- turing districts with the cry of tariff and protection to home industry. a i — The West Virginia Senate has defeated a proposition to submit a prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people.

Their orders are to guard the pudy, and there must be an official veri- fication that they done their duty and that each officer of the guard has received that which he is to guard. To verify this, whenever the officers are changed they open the coffin, identify the corpse and exchange receipts for it. Thus we have put the body of the slain President into a daily morgue and a continuous post mortem examination, violating all the sanctity of the grave and forcing the sol- of hounorivg and guardiog the remains. The tomb is violated to protect it from violation. Wiggins, the Canadian prophet, sev. eral weeks ago prophesied a great storm and flood for Friday last, 9, that would wash out everything clean and without soap. He has missed it badly as there was scarce a ripple and Friday didn't have a storm nor flood worth a cent. Wiggine is a big blow himself, but he can’t sniff a storm further off than the greenest devil in the Rerorren office. canal Si neni A call, signed by all leading anti-mo- nopolists in all parts of the country, has been issued at Chicago for a delegate conference for the formation of a new party. The conference will be held at Chicago, July 4.
