The following is from the Keystone Gazette, of March 24th: “The editor of the Centre Demo- crat this week assumes the preroga- tives of a court of justice and pro- nounces the war-investigating com. mittee a fraud. And especially is the little editor severe on General Beaver, who is a member of the board, and whom he stigmatizes as being guilty of whitewashing the war department. This is terrible; and we hardly see how our townsman, WHO HAD HIS LEG SHOT OFE BY A DEMOCRAT, can survive this second attack.” WHITEWASHING is the just now, A good many politicians are engaged in it, - is settled, the ONE thing can't induce Admiral Dewey candidate for the presidency.

Quayism means looting the public treasury. A Quayite is pushing politics for the same purpose—to get a slice of the public pap. The people should not complain; they voted for these things and Quay's re-election to the U, 8. Senate would be consistent Quay is no worse JUST SUPPOSE. Suppose Wm. J. Bryan had been elected president and the with occurred under his administration war Spain Sup- pose a son or near relative of Judge Beaver, in the service, had taken ill from eating beef” and died. Suppose this beef had been furnished by a corrupt democratic war department, Then suppose that General Beaver would be appointed as one of a commission to investigate these abuses, does anyone imagine that under such circumstances General Beaver would have browbeaten, bulldozed, intimidated witnesses under eath who did not give testimony to clear alot of army thieves like Alger and the Chicago meat packers. Can you imagine that General Beaver wouid want to whitewash a rotten democratic war de. partment, under such circumstances? Not Likely, for any person who knows the true Jim Beaver readily recognizes a political juggler, a subservient political tool with pretentions of high order and a capacity for the lowest grade of politi. cal chicanery. He is a whitewasher, that is all. He can cover over the dirtiest job in his party. Foul catrion, corruption, and official debauchery are a specialty, Since General Miles got after these chaps our embalmed Superior Court Judge, and political tool, is in the same repute as the putrified beef was among the soldiers during the war, ————— C—O S—" The date on the label shows whether it is paid or not.

April 11.-—The investigating alleged attempts bribe members of the legislature in con- nection with the McCarrell jury bill and the senatorship have only in producing a number of charges, many of them rather vague, and posi- tive denials by the persons accused. Among the most important allegations last week was one made by Represent. ative Foster, of Montour. The rep- resentative declared that he had been informed by Charles P.
