One of the smox schemes of S8en- ator Quay's followers was to try and in- duce Democrats to remain away from the approaching joint ballot for United States senator, which begins on Wed- nesd of this week. It was an appeal to the care and thoughtless mem- of the party. For any Democrat to away from his place in house at the present time is equiv- giving a vote for Quay. The independent Republicans, who are fighting Quay, recognize this fact and they have pledged all of their followers in a written document to be present at ery roll call and vote against Senator Quay. The action other Democratic resolution requiring the Democrats in house and senate to consent before another candidate is named in place of Mr. Jenks gives the lle to Republican machine statements that the Democrats will help Quay. If there had been any men weak enough and corrupt enough among the Demo- cratic legislators at Harrisburg to yield te the blandishmentsof Republicans this wetion of the Democratic caucus would have settled them. But there have been enough gratuitous insults thrown at the Democrats, They stand today as they will stand to the bitter end, asolid, unyielding, uncompromising barrier to the re-election of Matthew Stanley Quay. TO HELP OUT REEDER. One other thing in which the Demo- rats were alleged to be interested fo the reinstatement of General Reederand of John P. Elkin to places in Governor Btone's cabinet. There are enough Re- publicans of the anti-Quay kind in the genate to defeat the confirmation of Reeder If the Democrats join in. It is known positively that Quay wants Reeder put back in his old place of secretary of the commonwealth as a vindication for being turned out by Governor Hastings. The Republican state chairman, John P. Elkin, is also seeking vindication in the same way. It can be stated with the utmost as- surance that no Democrat will vote for the confirmation of General Frank fleeder. The reason iz clear. The Demo crats have named their late candidate for governor, Hon. George A, Jenks, as their candidate for United States sena- tor. During his campaign for the gov. ernorship Mr. Jenks went up and down the state proclaiming the outrage of the fndemnity bond, to which General Prank Reeder and Mr. Elkin were signers, and proclaiming that the men who signed that notorious document were law breakers in the sight of the law, Under such eircumstances no Democrat dare vote for a reinstatement of these ® en, 5 ile the charge that General fe back, ate the caine with the the ust the sthess ay jeas here remain Or senate alent to of Colonel Guffey and leaders in passing a two-thirds of all | assistance of Democratic votes is false as false can be, { The balloting for United States sena- | tor will begin on Tuesday of this week with separate ballots in house and sen- ate, On Wednesday a joint meeting of both bodies will be held and a joint ballot taken.

He was referring to Senator Platt's speech, when he said: “The Senator from Connecticut has most amply vindicated the south, perhaps unintentionally, but we thank him the more heartily for his complete an- nouncement of the divine right of the Caucasian to govern the inferior races.” Senator Sullivan, of Miss., made his maiden speech in favo: of the Nicara- gua Canal Bill, of Senator Morgan's, which is to be voted on this week. Senator Pasco, of Fla., also made a speech in favor of the bill, which is certain to be passed by the Senate. The anti-imperialismm Senators sup- ported the motion of Senator Berry to consider the treaty of Peace in open executive sessions of the Senate, but they couldn't carry it. The treaty will be considéred in the usual way. An attempt is to be made to put the Senate on record, either by an amend. ment to the treaty or a resolution, against the permanent ownership of the Philippines by the U, 8,, before the treaty is voted upon.

Any gossip is idle, evil gossip is erimi- nal. Drop the miserable, cowardly, “they say!” Besure of your ground sure that reputation or circulation is for somebody's good. If it isn’t, keep still. We are all open for eriti- cism. No two persons look at a mat- ter from the same point of view. There is some good in everybody, and that is what we should be looking for.

How to Prevent Pneumonia You are perhaps aware that pneu. monia always results from a cold or from an attack of Ia grippe. During the epidemic of Ia grippe a few years ago when so many oases resulted in poeumonia, it was observed that ibe attack was never followed by that dis ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem- edy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or Ia grippe to 1e- sult in that dangerous disease, It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and la grippe. Every bottle war- ranted. For sale by J. H.
