A MOVE ON THE BOSSES, If Cameron fails in a re-election to the United States Senate—which is possible—it will indicate the beginning of the downfall of the Republican bosses. A new set is coming on who are anxious to have the Quay.Camer- on machine sidetracked in order to give others a chance to get to the top. The election of Gen. Hastings as governor will be the first breaking of the ice in this direction. After that will come the election of a successor to Cameron, and the war against the ju- nior Winnebago will be waged with an earnestness that will likely win. Gen. Beaver, Charles Emory Smith, Dalzell, and other Republicans of abil- ity, will be seeking after Cameron's place, and they will have the Republi- can masses with them, and unless the machine is greater than its party, Don will be apt to go under. If this is a success, Quay’s days will be number- ed, and his scalp will be demanded next. . It looks to us like a winning fight against the old bosses. It will be hot, lively and interesting, even to us Dem- ocrats as lookers on. emf LUMBER was placed on the free list, on Thursday of last week, by an amendment to the tariff bill in the Senate, Rf Porirics is quiet in the county— even candidates can’t put life into it Over the state it is not much better, and people seem to be attending to other matters, which may be just as well. More reading and thinking and less froth is pretty good politics. Tue Republican platform of the re- cent Hastings convention contained a plank in favor of the government issu- ing paper money to the amount of $40 per head of the population, men, wo- men, and babies. That would be pret. ty good, but how each one is to get his £40 without first having earned it, there's the sticker. Anybody can get $40 without such a catch-votes-plank by first earning it. - dininifenaifmamt— STEELS RAILS, THe senate tariff bill fixes the duty, says the Philadelphia Times. on steel rails at $7.84 a ton, as against $13.44 in the McKinley law. The house bill has it at twenty per cent. A leading organ prophesies immediate ruin, along with some other things, and the alarm is really awful over this action of the sen- ate. But there is nothing to support. Straight upon the MeKinley law's passage came reductions in the steel mill to meet some fancied assault from the markets abroad. The lesson of the fifty per cent. reduction at Homestead was costly enough to remember, and the organs know very well that it came long before agitation introduced the calamity-wailers of the hobbies. Car- negie himself declared that he could make rails cheaper in Braddock than they can be made in England, and not only did so, but set them down in Liverpool below English prices. There are too mmny steel mills to meet de- mand for rails in this country and no market abroad in which to dispose of the surplus. It is a plain business ven- ture, this art and mystery of making steel rails, and business methods must open the markets of the world for the necessary trade. No proposition is more self-evident® Let the organs re- vise their furies, Tue best patriot is the best citizen says the Altoona Tribune. It is an easy matter to eulogize the flag and to curse as its enemies those who do not agree with us, but words are cheap and often meaningless. He who is profane in speech, dissolute in life, an enemy to good morals, as shown In his daily conduct, Is not a good eiti- zen, no matter what his pretentions. A man may talk like an angel, but if he is not only willing but actually en- ger to ald in debauching the ballot, either by bribing the voter or by a false count, he is a traitor, an enemy of free institutions, doing all in his power to bring upon the republic the same sad fate that blotted the names of Greece and Rome from the roll of mations, Of far more value to any na- it J tion is the honest yeoman who fears God, obeys the laws, leads an upright life and abhors fraud and rascality of every sort, than a thousand silver- tongued orators who are inwardly full of the meanest sort of treason. The former is the nation’s hope; the latter a deadly foe. WE ———— = ————— STRIKERS LOSING THEIR HEADS, Probably no workingmen’s strike ever begun in this country had a larg- er share of popular sympathy than that accorded to the strike of the soft coal miners, says the Philadelphia Record. Their work is hard and light- ly paid. The dislocation of the indus- tries of the country has cut down the consumption of coal. Competition and the capacity for indefinite produe- tion have overstocked the market. There are two miners in the country where there is work for one. Low prices for coal and low wages are the inevitable outcome of such conditions, It was a daring experiment to begin a strike under such unfavorable auspices; but with a favoring public sentiment, and a most remarkable forbearance on the part of needy workmen who have mainly held aloof instead of taking the places of the strikers, the calcula- tions of the leaders have been brought to the edge of success, There is a se- rious coal famine, and that is precisely the form of pressure out of which it was reasonable to expect the conces- sions demanded. There appears, however, to have been a miscalculation as to the length of time 150,000 men without work could be depended upon to deny them- selves and starve their families in or- der to starve the market. Everything depended upon such orderly demon- stration as should not provoke State interference for the protection of life or property. The riotous and lawless proceedings of strikers in the last few days have made ultimate success very doubtful. In Iowa the State have been called out to aid operators in protection of their property. Gov- ernor Matthews, of Indiana, has also been obliged to send soldiers to protect coal trains. The miners have been ditching cars and destroying railway property. In Ohio the strikers have refused to obey the orders of President MeBride, of their union, to desist from obstruction of the railways, and Gov- ernor McKinley has been again ap- pealed to for troops. In Illinois, Col- orado, Tennessee and Alabama the strikers show such a refractory and turbulent disposition as to necessitate forcible measures of restraint. In Pennsylvania the situation grave and may become serious at mo- ment, These manifestations, brought on doubtless by the desperate privations endured by the strikers, are the pre lude to failure. The starving miners might hope to win by such pressure and persuasion as they could lawfully use while the mines are idle. They cannot hope to win by force. If the leaders of the strike are wise they will take counsel of prudence and of past experience, Having lost command of their forces they should declare the strike ended and give the strikers the opportunity to make the best terms they ean. It would be worse than fol- ly to carry the war beyond the point where their quarrel necessarily comes a quarrel with organized tary force. troops is any be- mili- ff - THE duty on bituminous coal is sev- enty-five cents a ton. Miners are paid forty eents a ton. Whom does the protection protect? If the tariff is for the benefit of the workingman, then he should nave the seventy-five cents instead of the forty. ami a ——— WHEREVER men are out of work striking for living wages there is heard the most convincing argument against protection. There is nothing in pro- tection but the robbery of the people under the form of law, gimmie Hick's predictions for June, July, August and September are full of storms and cool weather. Well, we'll see how good he is at guessing. s————————— CENTRE COUNTY has now furnished its share of gubernatorial timber. We want a change and prefer to furnish presidents for three or four terms. We have gone to the trouble of raising quite a line of governors, for which the state should feel grateful towards us. 2 . WHATEVER may have been the cause of the disastrous floods that have recently carried havoc in their course, it must be one affecting the whole sur- face of the earth. Europe, Asia and America alike have suffered. The de- struction of life in India and in China has been somewhat appalling. It may be true that we must look to influ- ences outside of our own elemental surroundings if we are to solve the great downpour of waters and the shaking up of the earth by any satis factory theories, You can take to your hammocks now, but hang them in the sitting room, where there's a warm stove, Gen. Hastings and Judge Furst were both raised in Nittany Valley, but on opposite sides, the one at the mountain on one side, and the other at the mountain opposite, about two miles apart. CONGRESS. The friends of Adjutant General Greenland are working vigorously to secure him the Democratic nomina- tion for Congress in Kribbs' district. George M. Brisbin, of Osceola, wants the Clearfield conferees and hopes in securing them to name himself or a friend, There are other candidates from the several counties more or less openly in the field. In our county we have W. C. Hein- le and Aaron Williams, each having an eye on Kribbs’' seat. ep Locav politics'is quite tame—save a quiet stir among Republicans on the judgeship, there is no electioneering going on, and no announcement of candidates for places on the Republi- can county ticket. Among the Democrats it is equally quiet, although there is a candidate for each office to be filled, yet there is no apparent canvassing. There will not be a lively campaign on either side, from present political weather flags. Farmers can do their work without annoyance from office seekers, and the people for once are free from the sup- plications of men who are anxious to serve their country in office, and the country seems to be safe all the same. ec f——— THE state prohibition convention was held at Williamsport this week, five hundred delegates being in attend- ance, No more suitable place, —Will- iamsport is a great town for floods of water, lp pm os The great soft coal strike is still on, and railroads and manufacturing es- tablishments are feeling the effects of the coul famine; trains are discontin- ued and furnaces closing for want of fuel. A fp —- Got Five Years Thomas Meyers, of Philipsburg, plead guilty at the April sessions of court to the the court suspended sentence on promise of good behavior. Shortly after he committed a similar crime, was arrested, confined to jail, and on Tuesday was brought before the court. He was sentenced on the first to three years, and on the second two years, making five years, at hard labor in the penitentiary. Judge Furst was severely scored on suspending sentence under the first in- dictment, but it was done at the in- stance of a petition signed by about twenty-five Philipsburgers requesting such, charge of larceny, and the to western slalom iets Solid Darkness, During the recent wet spell we had several nights of intense darkness, to which the Egyptian darkness could not hold a candle. For example, the darkness was so deep and heavy that you could feel it, and one fellow actual- ly cut a slice out of it with aRnife, and laid it by for examination by sunshine next day, and it took quite a spell be- fore the sun shone through the black chunk.
