CENTRE HALL, PA., THURS, April 15
The Mississippi's overflow is not yet
abating.

In the House at Harrisburg the an-
ti Quay Republicans are giving the
Boss some trouble and defeating some
of his pet measures,

Even in Rhode Island there was a
slump last week, the election having
resulted in a Republican plurality less
than half of McKinley's, which was
21,000, and this has dwindled down to
10,000,

Fighting has begun on the Turkish

An ugly story is sent from Harris-
burg to a New York paper, to the ef-
fect that $50,000 was demanded from
the Metropolitan Life Insurance com-
pany, of New York, to defeat the bill
now in the state legislature prohibit
ing the insurance of children under
sixteen years of age. Dr. Swallow was
not in that boodle ring.

The stock of the poor Standard Oil
Company jumped up $19,000,000 in four
days. Last year the stock paid 31 per
cent. in dividends ! This jump is the
biggest boom of the year. Last year
the profits of the Standard Oil Com-
pany were 27 million dollars on a cap-
ital of 90 millions. Poor thing! Why
not repeal another pipe-line bill for its
benefit ?

John Wanamaker, in his letter de-
clining to be a candidate for state trea-
surer, uses a rough rasp upon the Re-
publican machine as run by boss Quay
& Co. He lays bare the great wrongs
committed by the rulers of the party,
and appeals to honest Republicans to
set themselves against the methods of
the Republican bosses for the credit of
the party.

The governor has approved the bill
appointing township constables fire
wardens, and providing that they
shall report all forest fires to the court
and assist in the extinction of all such
fires. We hope our Centre county
constables will make a note of this and
do some good work in bringing to jus-
tice the fellows who start the disas-
trous mountain fires in this county.

Senator Warren, of Wyoming, re
plying to Senator Chandler's warn-
ing that the Tariff bill may fail be-
cause of its excessive rapacity, says :
“If it be decided that one section of
the country must take buzzard while
another demands turkey in order to
reform the tarifl, then the reforma-
tion had better be delayed.” This
may be the delicate Wyoming way of
letting Mr. Dingley know that his
Tariff bill ss sectional, and that the
West won't stand it ; but it is neatly
effective and very much to the point.
The clumsy absurdity of the retroac-
tive clause in the Dingly bill isabund-
asotly obvious. Its extreme impolicy
and its outrageous injustice are not
less so to reflective minds,
It compels the merchants of the
country to charge their customers for
duties that aré never, in all probabili-
ty, to be collected. It thus imposes
upon the people a heavy tax not one
dollar of which is likely ever to reach
the Treasury.
In the same way it compels the
manufacturer to raise his prices in the
fear that he may hereafter have to pay
exorbitant duties, on raw materials
which under existing law he is enti-
tled to import Tree.
It paralyzes business, threatens in-
dustry and enormously wrongs the

extortion,

gold standard platform, and supported
Major McKinley, claiming that was
the best way to achieve free coinage.
Mr. Stevenson accepted the Chicago
platform and was an earnest advocate
of Mr. Bryan's election, with all that
it implied on the silver question. Not
