Bellefonte Haris Twp wa Walker Twp The Quayites refuse to meet Farmer _ Creasy on the stump for joint debates, Hurrah for Creasy ! Them Transvaalers is a spunky little set. The British Alderney is always, in for a gore and a toss, however. There is but one issue for the taxpay- ers of the state: Shall the Trusts be halted and the state treasury put in honest hands ? The campaign in this state is one in which the ‘masses will need do some thinking—it’'s altogether a pocket-book affecting affair. Reeder, the Republican chairman, has refused the offer for joint debates with Creasy on state issues! And one can readily guess why. Democratic chairman Rilling has challenged Republican chairman Reed- er to a joint discussion of the state is- sues. Reeder will dodge. Democrats of Centre, you have a county ticket composed of the best men in the county, and our state tick- et is like unto it. Work for its trium- phant election. Quay’s chances to be seated on Gov- ernor Stone's unconstitutional appoint- ment certificate are as blue as indigo. His chances for election by an extra session have utterly withered. AA A ———— Major Jones, of the army, quarter- | master at Manila, gives it as his opin- fon that 50,000 men will have to be kept on the Island of Luzon for ten years in order to keep the peace. re —— Af A The Transvaal refuses to back down, by setting aside Britain's demand for new concessions. The erafty chieftai nl of the Boers, Kruger, demands fulfill- ment of the English proposal for a joint inquiry. —_— A ST IS The Transvaalers ask the United States to use its good offices to make peace bltween them and the British. Don’t the Boers know that Uncle Samuel has his hands full making peace with the Philippinos ? The wheat crop of France this year is 9,000,000 hectolitres less than the crop of 1898. It will be necessary for France to import, between now and next May, 1,500,000 hectolitres to sup- ply the home requirements. A hecto- litre is near three Winchester bushels. The objection against great vessels like the Oceanic is that there are few ports in the world which they can en- ter. The Oceanic could only reach New York by taking advantage of high tide. It is more feasible to ac- commodate the ships to the shore than the shore to the ships. —————— The Trusts are still rooting out the drummers. All the commercial trav- elers employed by the firms taken into the Natiodal Glass Company, the new tableware trust, have been ordered by _ wire, to the number of 200, calling them home, as tifey will no longer be needed. Of the steals of the last machine leg- islature, $217,540.77, were halted by the veto of Governor Hastings, backed by Creasy and the Democrats and the in- dependent Republicans. An attempt will be made to repass these steals since Governor Stone has proven a willing tool to sanction any corrupt Jobs that the Quayites may pass, Wheat crop being a partial failure, why is it that farmers get only 60c for it instead of a dollar and over, as promised if McKinley wis elected ? Wheat only once got out of the ruts of the 60ties, under McKinley, and then it was young Leiter who did it, and the McKinleyites tried to steal the credit from Leiter and give it to the President ! put the above at the Trust evens Benator Flinn, the able anti-Quay leader, says: “I am willing to say this, that I believe that the story that has been published, to the effect that Senator Penrose has informed ex-Sen- ator Quay that the United States Ben- ate will not seat Quay upon the certi- ficate given him by Gevernor Stone,” ———————— A SA —— The Ri ading city Democratic com- mittee has recommended that candi- dates shall neither directly or indi- rectly buy beer or other liquors or treat voters, If this rule is violated the of- fending candidates shall be dropped from the list and their names not sub- mitted to the voters. A——— I A S—————— The weather bureau has given out the deaths and damage by the great August hurricane along the coast. It appears that 250 lives were lost. Most of these were fishermen, drowned at Swan Island, The wind blew at the rate of 140 miles an hour, The loss to crops on the mainland amounted to half a million dollars. The rainfall was eight inches in 48 hours. Hs ——_—— A oil A new capitol that is a disgrace to the state and will have to be razed to the ground, was an out-and-out waste of half a million dollars, three-fourths of which was scooped by the Quay machine, Next willbea five million capitol job as a starter with a twelve million figure as a finisher. merry lot of machine men will count themselves millionaires! Taxpayers, think and reflect ! ———— A — ————— » A Lehigh county jury decided that assessments made on candidates for of- fice are legal. The decision was made in the suit of Dr. 8. A. Rabenold vs. J. C. Rupp. In 1896, when Rupp was a Democratic candidate for the Legis- lature, the County Committee assess- ed him $125. He paid $75 of this in installments, but when defeated de- clined to pay the balance. Dr. Rabenold, who was county chair- man, brought suit for the recovery of the balance and won the case. fs —————— Some of the McKinley office holders apply the word ‘“‘traitor” to Bryan, and other Democrats who do not ap- prove of the President's Philippine policy. Well, then, there are a good many prominent Republicans who can be classed as traitors, namely: Bout- well, Benator Chandler, Andrew Car- negie, Benator Hoar, Bob Ingersoll, dec’'d, Tom Reed, and a score of other equally prominent Republicans, all de. nouncing the President's imperialism more vehemently than Bryan or any Democrat. In the Senate, last winter, Republican members made speech aft- the Philippinos against their will and by force of arms. cons fs Mp Beef keeps going higher, thanks to the fat Trust. Butchers in New York have been notified that beef has risen to ten cenis a pound by the whole car- Cass price of lamb at wholesale from eight and one-half cents a pound to ten cents a pound. i : { POLITICAL NOTES. Josiah Adams, whom Quay, in order to truckle to Mayor Asbridge, of Phila- delphia, has nominated for the supe- rior court can well afford the luxury of an ocean going yacht and to substi- tute champagne for water for drink- ing purposes when he has been accused in the courts of robbing estates and as the receiver for the gutted Penn Trust and Safe Deposit company he has nursed the job for eight years and in that time collected $80,000, out of which he has paid in fees and expenses $24,000 to himself and colleagues. Is this the stripe of man the people of Pennsylvania want to elevate to the second highest court of the state? L ® * Since the notorious People’s bank, of Philadelphia, which was founded by Bill Kemble, of “addition, division and silence” fame, and who was convicted of bribing Harrisburg statesmen to vote for the Pittsburg riot bill, was wrecked by its cashier, who blew out his brains, and which dragged down into the vortex with it the Guaran- tee Trust, another rotten financial and political concern that was managed by the Quay gang, the Quaker City bank, of the state metropolis, has become Quay’'s pet bank. It is kept stuffed with state treasury money, while the school authorities in the various coun- ties are clamoring for the funds due them with which to pay the salaries of poor teachers. Whenever Quay honors Philadelphia with a visit he hastens to the Quaker City bank as straight as the crow flies to fix up his financial af- fairs with its president, who made a fortune out of politica before he be- came a banker. Quay and his lleuten- ants and ‘prentice boys are loaded company, ized to blackmail the Electric Trust of Philadelphia, and which scheme {3 a great public scandal. Of course the state's money is put up as “margin” to carry this stock, individual notes be- ing given, as was proven in the Quay trial. The state treasury being with- out money the poor school teacher must wait for his meager salary * ® . If “Farmer” Creasy is elected state treasurer this gambling with the state's money and this gorging of favorite banks with has a vote should cast that vote for “Farmer” Creasy, since he would be casting It for the protection of his own pocket. * . * Governor Stone, who Is a man of all work for Boss Quay, stands as a break- water between the people who demand, but are honest elections and the thags, re ballot box stuff- rl denied, raters, padders of the lists, vouchers of bogie voters, the of election returns, the pimp. the coloniza- r and gam- rough police his crooked unnaturalized Yoling alterer ugly tion dive keeper bling shark protection work at polls seamp who has the freedom of the franchise, the speak easy proprietor who exchanges his vote for his immu- nity, and the grand chorus of unhung and unjailed rascals that debauch the ballot and make voting a farce in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and the other ties of the state, Is it any won- der that Governor Stone said to him- self, “To hell with the constitution” the Po who thrive t in return for the the big ci favoring the tion of voters In cities duction of voting personal registra- and the intro- machines? Stone ally the repeater, the false counter and the ballot thief generally is to the Republican party. as he him- dressed meat trade in New York and compels butchers to settle weekly. The Trust has made up a secret blacklist book in which each retail butcher is known not by his name but by a num- ber. Each wholesale branch oumber. As soon as a butcher pays his bill the news is ticked out into ev- ery wholesale branch. Not until that notice goes out over the tickers can the butcher buy any more meat, either on cash or credit. ——————— A ————k This time a northern state, Illinois, comes in for “an outrage upon ne- groes’’ for which the South is ocea- sionally reprimanded. Carterville, Ili, was the scene of a bloody riot, at noon Sunday last, in which six negroes were instantly killed and one fatally wound- ed. The fight was between the white and the black miners. On Bunday thir teen negroes, all armed, marched into town, going to the Illinois Central railroad depot, where they exchanged a few words with the white miners there, Then the negroes pulled their pistols and opened fire on the whitea, who at once returned the fire, and a running fire was kept up. The Gov- ernor has ordered out troops. An an- gry quarrel has existed for some time between the black and white miners. In ————— A —————— The California State Board of Health puts human beings suffering from con- sumption and cattle afflicted with tu- berculosis in the same class, and pro- poses a quarantine to exclude both from the State, on the ground that the disease, in its various forms, is conta- gious and “eventually kills twice as many as diphtheria, small-pox, scarlet fever, cholera and yellow fever put to- gether.” If consumption is really a contagious disease, and thero are strong reasons for thinking that it is, the ne- tion of the California Board is strictly in line with the precautions taken against the diseases mentioned, and while its threat seems a cruel one, it might be the best thing that could be done for humanity at large to put it in execution. That course would open the eyes of the people as nothing else would to the danger which lies in illegal votes for governor. nor the Quay gang want any honest elections in theirs and * - * “l am prepared to meet every issue day by facts and figures,” shouted the triple expansion office grabber, Gen- Grove, and then he discovered that he since he gheered off from Creasy's facts and fig- ures and began to shoot holes in the insurgents. Quay, Elkin, Reeder, Gobin, Barnett and in fact Quay’s entire stock company are afrald of Creasy's facts and figures, Tkey ran away from them at Quay's state convention faster than the Spanish from the Rough Riders at El Caney, and they will run away from them on the stump and in their machine press during the cam- paign. But yelling for McKinley, shootin’ niggers in the Philippines and calling it expansion and cracking the thorax over the flag won't save their hide and tallow this “load of poles.” Colonel Barnett returned home with his soul on fire to mount the hustines and set the state aflame with his elo- quence as to national issues, He swant- ed to immediately open a lurid cam- paign, the American flag for a ganfa- lon, and to lead a regiment of orators in a charge against the Democrats and insurgents. But Colonel Barnett was quickly called down by the boss, who probably sent him a message gimilar to the one he transmitted to an distinguished but voluble candidate fn few years ago, and which read: “Dear Beaver. Don’t talk.” Colonel Bar- nett has suddenly discovered that his liver is disordered, that he is filled with malaria germs, and that he re- quires a course of treatment at a san- ftarium. The opening of the lurid campaign has been indefinitely post- poned. Colonel Barnett will not ac cept “Farmer” Creasy’s challenge to jointly debate state issues. The army of spellbinders who were to arouse and to enthuse the state have been directs ed “to lay on their oars.” The cam- palgn, so far as the Republican state committee is concerned, is to be a tame wind commonplace affair. after all, Pain js no | r in ehild- ifth. . 1ta causes, being lipderstood, are easily ) the being made short, easy and free from danger jnoraing sfoktiase, swelled like evi ly male diseases speedily cu Cut this out; it may save your life, suffer not a day longer, but send us 2 cent stamp, ah. aE ual fut ou & - ter Address FRANK A RH TSB EI GRAIN MARKET, § RERRRRIS ARERR ERIE RRA SPRING MILLS GRAIN MARKET.
