If Penny- packer concludes to be governor without Quay dictation, all good people will up. bold him. it Now BELLEFONTE has been called the town of governors. There was scarce a day, in days gone by, that there could not be pointed out from one to three Ex gover- nors on our streets. The number since the death of Ex governor Hastings, has dwindled down to one, Ex.governor and now superior court judge Beaver, who, when not absent holding court, is at home and can be seen on our streets. Judge Beaver is the picture of youth and health and has every appearance of many years in store for him-—which we fondly hope will be his good fortune. But is Bellefonte going to quit furnishing governors for the Keystone state ? Hard ly, for we see material lylog around loose and sighing to be governors of this great commonwealth, We have men here fit to make good and safe governors, and local pride should impel us to put them forward, whenever a good governor is needed. Curtin was a good governor, Beaver was’a good governor, and Hast- ings did well. It would be wise to fall back upon Bellefonte therefore, and run 10 risks—our town has been tried and not found wanting, Gov. Beaver bids fair tobe with us many years yet, and before he scores another decade, new gubernatorial timber should be in train. ing and fitted to keep up the reputation of the town for furnishing good and safe WASHINGTON LETTER. one of democratic rejoicing and many jokes have been made at republican ex- pense. The haste with which the re- publicans rushed through the bill remov- ing the duty from coal to relieve the present emergency demonstrated how a lowering of the tariff is all that is their normal value, By the same meas- ure was demonstrated he sophistry of the republican claim that no single | schedule of the Dingley bill could be re- | | vised in accordance with the necessities | | arising from changed conditions without a general revision of the entire tariff and the precipitation of extended financial depression, A bill providing for the rebating of the duties collected on coal during the next year was reported to the House by the Ways and Means passed by the House. Senate, which so amended it as to place coal on the free list permanently and was committee and was It went to the returned to the House where the amend. ment, The Presideat signed the measure the next day. Thus the first schedule of the sacred Dingley was accepted. tariff was revised without any serious re sults and it is hoped that the precedent established may prove a useful object lesson in the future. Wearied with the do-nothing policy of his own party, Judge Jenkins, chairman of the House committee on Judiciary has introduced a resolution borrowed from the public ownership plank in the New York democratic platform which, it was Coler for Governor claimed, defeated of that state. Judge Jenkins’ resolution calls upon the Judiciary commitice to to make an examination into the possi bility of seizure by the federal govern. ment of the coal mines of the country and their operation by Federal ies in such emergencies as exist Had Mr introduced aathorit at the present ti ue.

For miles in length the cars have been standing there for days and weeks wait. ivg to be unloaded, and protected by armed guards against raids of coal rob | bers. It is estimated that not less than 150,000 tous of anthracite are thus ac cumulated, while the people of New York are freezing because of the alleged | scarcity of coal and the real exorbitancy of its price. ~Among other Bellefonters who at. tended the inauguration of Gov, Penny: packer were the following : Judge Joo.
