EDITORIAL, President Roosevelt is likely to get a set back from the sugar trust. Tug British find the Boers as hard a nut to crack as were the thirteen colonies during the revolutionary war. Some small fry is being mentioned for Governor on the Democratic state ticket this year. It is our duty to nominate the very ablest and best. SENATOR Birr Frisn bas forwarded to Lieutenant Governor Gobin his resig- nation as Senator from the 44th district and has retired from the Pittsburg and Allegheny county Republican Commit. lee, - It looks as though congress would ap- propriate many million dollars to the ship builders as a subsidy. This is more flagrant stealing than under the guise of a protective tariff. Hanna is lgad- ing this raid. Roosevelt sbould turn it down, rf THERE is some chatter about Arnold rusning for corgress in this district again. We do not think the people want any more Arnold. Ex-congressman Ar pold is about as popular as was the Armold of the days of the The gentleman deserving some recogni. tion in that line, on the republican side, wonld be Clement Dale, Etq., of this county. revolution, THE executive committee of the state grange was in session in Harrisburg last week, and gave out a statement in which they call the attention of the governor and the secretary of agriculture to the neglect to use $5,000 of the §35.000 ap propriation for the oroper representa. tion of the state at the Charleston ex. position in exhibiting the agricultural resources of the commonwealth. The grangers are after you, Jobn Hamilton. ———— Tue exhibit of gross and net earnings of the railroads of the United States caps the climax of all exhibits of our prosper ity and business progress. The gross earnings of the year 1go1 are set down at 1,522 millions of dollars. with net earnings of 528 millions and a net in crease over 1goo of nearly 65 millions Five years ago, in 18g7, the gross earn. ings were 1,050 millions, the net 3 millions and the net increase 35 millions, THE republicans in congress have a split on the matter of doing justice to Porto Rico and Cuba as regards the tanff The trusts are contending for a tarifl that rain some in the islands named, in order to further enrich the sugar trust, which is bent on fleecing not only those islands but further enriching themselves at the cxpense of consumers in the United States. Roose: velt and his friends in congress desire to have such a reduction in the tariff as will prevent the utter ruin of the sugar pro. ducers in Cuba and Porto Rico. In this landable desire the democrats stand with Roosevelt and his following in cong ess, to do justice to the unfortunate people of those islands, and are opposed by the graspivg trusts. The democrats are united on the policy of fairness, while the republicans are divided, the one faction being under the control of the trusts. Which of these two republican facticns is to come out victorious is bard to tell, the trusts seeming to have control of a strorg element amovg the republi. caus. will interests SExATOR HOAR, In a recent speech in the senate, referred 10 the fact that an order bad been issued by the Philippine commission prohibiting the reading of the Declaraticn of Independence in the Philippine islands. The senator further pointed out that by the law promulgated by that commission it was a penitentiary ofiense to read the Declaration of Inde. pendence. The Declaration is said to be barred from the Philippines on the ground that it ia an incendiary document, Is this not a curious charge to make A FROST FOR PATRIOTS. The reception of the Boer delegates, representing the South African republics, by the secretary of state and President Roosevelt was a very chilly affair to the Boers, although it will be received with enthusiasm in Great Britain, and by British sympathizers in this country. No one looked for the avowal of any purpose of intervention by this Govern. ment in the South African war, or even the diplomatic suggestion that the war should give way to more humane and Christian methods of adjustment, which would have been amply justified by the action of The Hague peace conference. But we believe a vast majority of the people of the United States would have welcomed from the President and secre- tary of state some kindly words of sym- pathy and good wishes for a grand and noble people who are battling in the front ranks of those who have faith in republican institutions, and are estab. lishing an example and precedent for all time for the lovers of liberty through. out the world. Butit was not to be. The Philippine blunder and crime closed the official lips, for what Britain has been doing in South Africa, Americans are doing under the orders of our Govern. ment in the Philippines. When the Boer delegates called the attention of the secretary of state to New Orleans being used as a supply station for munitions of war for the conquest and subjugation of the South African republics, modeled after our own Repubd- lic, they were treated to a discourse om the legal technicalities and tricks from our pro-British secretary, but the blow “most keenly felt,” the Associated Press dispatch says, ‘was when the Boers call. ed at the White House on the President” and he chatted with trivialities, and and noble purpose of their mission was when the bumanizing told them to see Secretary Hay. pot thus that Fraoklin was received in Paris in the crisis of the American re- volution by Louis XVI. And when Greece was struggling against t Turkey years ago their appeals answered by the sympathetic eloquence of Clay and Webster, heard round the were world, and the good wishes of Monroe administration. Americans may well hang their heads iu shame at this cold and heartless ception of these ambassadors of liberty buman They some consolation in the fact the same time this was going Washington Ambassador re- and rights. may find that at on in landing the British in London, i public speech, and declaring that ‘both (Great Britain and America), equals in energy, resourees and ambition, were working out on absolutely independent lines the same great ends of civilization, knowl: edge and liberty I” Yes, in South Africa and the Philippines.— Post. ELEVATORS GOING DOWN, The two steel elevators that bad been two years ago, having been sold oa taken down. as new yet, We are ders. three weeks ago, and on Saturday even. been removed. Each of the two eleva. tors contains eight circles of large steel plates. As the rivets are being cut by band with a cold chisel, one can imagine what an amount of hammer strokes will be required to complete the job. Say it will require five strokes to cut each rivet, would mean 220,000 blows with the ham- mer by hand. There are eight circles from top to bottom of each elevator, the width of a circle being five feet. The expense of taking down the eleva. tors will not be under $300. As the Phoenix Mills building bas been con. verted into a match factory these eleva. vators were pot needed. The diameter of each elevator is 30 feet, Sportsman's League Officers. The annual meeting of the Sportsman's League of Centre county for the election of officers for the ensuing year was held in the Arbitration room at the Court House on Monday evening.

Lipton and Lucy Davidson Lip- ton celebrated their fiftieth wedding an- niversary, or golden wedding, the rath day of Feb. A. D. 1902, at their home, ‘the Lipton hotel, in Downs, Kansas. There were about 175 invited guests pre. sent, many being from neighboring towns and cities. A royal banquet was served at the hotel. Mr. Lipton is a Centre county's most popular prothonota- ries, many years ago. Wm. Lowry has announced his name as a candidate for Sheriff on the repub- ean ticket, . Former Governor Jobu P. Atgeld of SHORT TALKS Brief Comment on Political and Other Matters of Public Interest, Ex-Postmaster Hicks, of Philadel phia, declares that Ashbridge said to him at the beginning of his term of office that he proposed to get all there was in It for Samuel H. Ashbridge. Ashbridge denies that he ever sald anything of the kind, and the people of Philadelphia have been by the ears for a week or two as to which tells the truth. It doesn't seem to make very much difference whether Ashe bridge gave notice in advance of his Intentions, He has made his word good, whether he ever gave it or not, He ought not kick about anybody's saying that he once told the truth. * Ld \d w The Army and Navy Register hauls Roosevelt over the coals for his shabby treatment of General Miles, and de- clares that It Is not possible to justify It or excuse It even on the ground that Teddy has fallen of losing his temper. We predict that Roosevelt will go. out of office one of the most unpopular presidents the country has had, When a man would rather called colonel president it shows an exceedingly vain streak in his make-up. His Intense be ures is not likely to last him through his term. Of course, there are toad. fes who are willing to applaud any act of the president, no matter what it may be, but the sober gecond thought of the people will not long tolerate a man conceit is his strongest characteristic, whose General Wheaton declares that 60. them in Dutch on | | ar . be $350 000.000 broached he stopped the interview and | : it was | and Vergennes. | | at home the | | conducting a Choate was | placed at Reynold's Phoenix mills, some | party in the eastern counties, are being The elevators are as good | informed 44,000 | rivets and bolts were used on the steel | sheets that constitute these great cylin. | The work of dismantling began | ing last three and ome half circles had | native of Milesburg, and was one of Chicago, died Wednesday morning 000 soldiers will be needed in the Philippines for at least five years yet.
