VOL. LXVII. NO FREE SUGAR THE PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO PLACING IT FREE. A Republican Senator Makes a Sensation. Flop to Populism, - Hoke Smith's Axe at Work, WasmiNGTON, Sept. 10.—Secretary Carlisle has left no doubt as to where he and President Cleveland stand on the sugar question. He told Repre- sentative Meyer, of La., that the ad- ministration would oppose any at- tempt to put sugar on the free list, but would aid in the passage of the sub- stitute proposed by the Senate Finance ‘ommittee, striking out the different owrefined sugar, leaving all sugars dutiable at a flat rate of 40 per cent. ad valorem. Secretary Carlisle still holds to his original opinion that he has no authority to pay out a dollar for boun- ty on sugar, but he told Mr. Meyer that he and President Cleveland were both in favor of legislation providing not only for the payment of the boun- control the next House.” Of the threatened secession of the sugar plan- ters from the Democratic party, Mr. Breckinridge said: ‘It is natural for the Louisiana sugar growers to stand by their chief product ; they have always done so. But I do not see what they have to gain by bolting their party afliliations. It will do thein more hurt than it will the De- mocracy. For every vote lost by such a desertion six would be gained. On longer reflection, it is doubtful if they will go over to the political party which they have battled against all their lives, ig A New Era of Prosperity. Mr, Chauncey M. Depew is one of the most prominent Republicans in the country. As the President of the New York Central Railroad Company he is in intimate touch with business affuirs. What he says cannot be put down as political vaporing. In his late Homburg interview he declares that ‘the settlement of the tariff ques- tion is the beginning of a new era of prosperity; that “confidence re- stored, and that means everything to is ty upon all sugar made previous to the taking effect of the new tariff’ but for | the payment upon this year's entire crop of the difference between the bounty and the duty on foreign sugar. ' that “the industrial energy of the 70,000,000 people in the country, not yet fully developed, is resistless when credit and stability are assured; the consuming and purchasing powers of Had this information been in the pos- | session of the La. sugar planters it is| probable that they might have adopt- | ed a different sort of resolution at their meeting last week. He also told Mr. Meyer that his letter to Senator Har-| ris, showing the necessity for the rev- | enue that the sugar duty will bring in | was submitted to President Cleveland | and was approved by him before it was | sent. It was so stated in this corres- pondence at the time, although the know-it-alls asserted that the letter was sent without Mr. Cleveland's knowledge and against his wishes, The true inwardness of the flop Senator Jones, of Nevada, from Republicans to the Populists is now | known. It was merely a Republican | trick. Jones is more a Populist than he ever was and his pretended flop is but the first move in game | which was to have been secret and | which has for its final object the nom- | ination and the election to the dency of Senator Cameron of sylvania. Jones is the father Cameron boom and he that the suggestion very coldly received by the silver men of the Northwest, on account of Cameron’ “| well-known connection with railroad | and other corporations, notwithstand- | ing the free coinage of silver, which was to be the corner stone of his he was disappointed. Then it] was that Jones evolved the scheme of | Joining the Populists and turning their | organdgation into a purely silver par-| ty, eliminating every thing else from | their platform, and having them en-| dorse the Cameron boom, which he calculated would induce the tepubli- | can convention to nominate Cameron | on a free silver platform. The scheme | would not have had one chance out of | a possible one hundred even if it had | been kept secret as intended, but now | that it™has been exposed it simply bas | no chance at all.

A little investigation | convinued him that the said editor was drdwing $2000 a year withput ren- dering an equivalent to Uncle Sam, and straightway an order was issued abolishing the office, which by the way, was created for the man now turned out, Mr. W. A. Croffut, a very pleas ant newspaper man with a fad for mesmerism, which he calls hy pnotism. Mr. Croffut’s hypnotism worked all right on a Republican Secretary, but it was a dismal failure when applied to a hard shell Democrat like Hoke Smith. Ex-Congressman Breckinridge, of Ark., now minister to Russia, is still in Washington, and still very much interested in politics. He said in the course of a general conversation on Southern politics: “My own state has just given an exceptionally heavy Democratic majority, which Is a fair indieation of what the south may be expected to do in November. I wish, however, that the majority had been a little lighter and the platform adopt- ed at the Btate convention a little bet- ter. Too much was conceded the Pop- ulists on the financial question.

This will be a dan- gerous storm. Not in all parts, but in places, probably the most severe west of the Mississippi about the 15th or 16th. The warm wave will cross the western mountains about the 13th, the great central valleys about the 15th and the eastern states about the 17th. The cool wave will cross the western mountains about the 16th, the great zentral valleys about the 18th and the eastern states about the 20th, Killing frosts will occur in many northern sections from September 27th to 30th. This frost may penetrate southward as far as Oklahoma, Little Rock, Mem- phis, Nashville and Raleigh. Along and north of the fortieth parallel all tender plants should be protected at that time. In the Ohio valley tobac- co planters should be ready to cut their crop as this frost will probably injure it. While cold weather may be expected in October and No- vember, winter will come late and the fall season average warmer than usual, This, of course, does not apply to but it is the estimate of general average for the whole sone the ts A A ————— Big Damages. The gentleman who over a year ago got a leg crushed on the pike from Coburn to Millheim, received a verdict dollars against the pike company. A large stone in the road caused the ac- cident, Bolt, the citizen of Bellefonte who was injured by a defective board walk, got a verdict of five hundred dollars damages. The REPORTER has repeatedly cau- tioned our borough suthorities against open neglect in this regard, without any attention being given. Hope the above instances will be effective, and serve to guard Centre Hall against a big bill of damages. This thing of caring more to serve private spite rath- ler than looking to duty, msy come home to roost like chickens, A stone standing high enough to up- along the Coburn pike, re- damages. If the pike enough to upset a vehicle, a bill of damages would result in case of acci- dent. No road is lawful with any kind of danger places. In this connection we once again call attention to the very dangerous gutter put near the centre of our street, opposite the Odenkirk property; an upset is liable to be caused by it at any moment, and one, two, three or four persons in a vehicle in danger of being killed or crippled. Now, in all candor, we submit to our citizens whether they are willing to run a risk of damages that may run from $1000 to $20,000! Tax payers how would you meet sucha bill? It might take one third of your property to meet it. Just look at the dangerous gutter and embankment put there within a year against all common reason. We ask, will not any vehicle striking that offset, be upset, and a big bill of damages that you would be call- ed on to pay ? Sm——— I —————————. Irving W. Larimore, physical direc- torof Y. M. C.
