That is the only explanation of the very bad taste he has shown in send- | ing two members of the Cabinet—Sec- | retary Root and Postmaster General | Smith,—to Philadelphia, to help Han-| tion. Smith carried the platform, | which he wrote under orders from Mr. MeKinley and Hanoa, that will adopted by the ( special business is to see that Boss Platt does'nt get in his threatened monkey business with the Vice ley program. If we haven't a sufficient number of troops in the Philippines to keep the Filipinos in subjection, how are we going to be able to send a lot of them to China to help the Europeans whip the Chinese “boxers” into subjection? That is the problem that now fronts Mr. McKinley And after this government European government knock out the | boxers and set up a new Chinese gov- ernment, what will come next? is the problem which may, in the very near future confront the American people. Are we ready to assume any responsibilities for the government of more Asialics? Have we not already more of that sort of thing thing than is desirable ? He is a very gullible chap indeed, who will be convinced by the number single gold standard law, enacted by the Republican Congress, that the new law is a good thing. But that seems to be the Republican idea. Perlodical- | ly since the law went into effect, Comptroller Dawes has given the press | a statement showing the number of | banks, ete.

McKinley, and he fears that the people will be as indifferent to- wards him on election day as they have shown themselves to be towards Otis now. The spectre of doubt has become Mr, McKinley's constant com- panion, . Senor Nicholas Rivery, editor of one of the leading Havana papers, who has been in Washington a few days, thinks there has been wrong-doing in other branches of the Cuban Government as well as in the postoffice branch. He gave the Senate Committee a pointer _that should not be overlooked, when he said: “I wish we could have a thorough investigation of the expendi- tures of money on sanitary and engi- neering works. Buch an investigation might reveal some interesting facts, The reports of fraud in connection with these works are very persistent in Havana, and investigation might show that a great deal of Cuban mon ey has been improperly expended.” Admiral Dewey has found out that he was never in the running as a can didate for President, and has scratched his name off the entries to the race, In reply to a direct question as to whether he would accept the nomina- tion for Vice President, on the Bryan ticket, the Admiral said: “I have never contemplated being a candidate for Vice President. I am nota eandi- date for nomination to that office and would not accept the nomination if it were offered to me. That Is plain English.” The Democratic Congressional Cam- paigo Committee Is sending out a list . Tuesday. It will require the rest of this week to complete his work. Cal- vin has been very successful in his work, and met with little or no troub- le. The census in the boro in 1800 gave us a population of 441. The pres ent census will show an increase of fully one hundred per cent. It will be a creditable ten years’ growth. = ps nl = Will Hold Union Pienle, A meeting of representatives of the Reformed congregations of Nittany valley, Bellefonte and Lock Haven was held Monday afternoon, at which it was decided to hold a union pienic of the Reformed churches and Sunday schools in the districts named at Hee- la park on July 10 and 20.

The move knocked glory out of the Quay-Platt machine, and makes them look glum. Quay got upon the platform to offer a resolution restricting southern rep- resentation. His appearance was the cause of a prearranged wild demonstra- tion from his henchmen in the hall. McKinley & Roosevelt are now the Republican choice, upon a platform for high tariff, u bolstering of Trusts, a promise of “‘Prosperity,”’ favors ex- pansion and gold, but is silent about the ending of the Philippine war. mst A USA Around on Their Feet.
