Bellefonte, Pa., April 19. John Wanu
tnalcer tonight addressed n muss meet
ing at this place. Ho began hist speech
by referring; to Uelleionte as the homo
of Governor Hastings, and ux-Gover-jiors
Beaver and Curtln. In calling at
tention to the fact that today was the
anlvertsary of the battle of Lexington,
Mr. Wanamnker aroused the patiltitic
feelings of the ntullonxe. He then ex
tended his remarks to political Issues.
Ho likened the Kepubllriin party as It
now Is In the state to a train plunging-
onward at a furious rate toward
the open switches of bankruptcy and
ruin." Continuing, be said:
Engineer iiu:y, mud with power,
utterly disregarding danger signals
and red signals has openud wide
the throttlb and dftcrinlncd to rl.k
the magnificent train upon the quick
sand roadbed of political aliases anil
corruption. He hopes that the train's
great speed will enable It to keep the
rail until nfter next .Tunnary, nml un
load htm for another six ears' term
at tho United etatts senate station.
Ills political I'ttirhtneti not as tr.iln
Jnen and conductors. They are tak
ing from you many times your honest
fares. Hut though you know you are
being wrorged and robbed, most or
you pay without u murmur, and with
tho mere bcKof that It Is only party
loyalty, and commendable obedience.
NEWSPAPI3HS ATTACKED.
Mr. Vannmalter then referred to the
newspapers of the state, saying:
There was a time when wo eculd
boast of a free press, but today In
Pennsylvania, to a crei.t" extent, it
exists only In name. The same polit
ical Influences that have poisoned the
springs of public Integrity, that have
corrupted the politics, that have de
bauched tho councils or legislation,
that havo wiecked banks, trust and
insurance companies, have contami
nated and blocked the come of public
news.
He charged that news favorable to
the "machine" was manufactured, and
news unfavorable suppressed, and that
scores of editors throughout the state
ure candidates for postolllces nnd many
more havo relations who expect ap
pointments. Continuing ho charged "that ome
of the great telegraph systems are no
longer safe conductors of private mes
sages" and that "the superintendent
of one great company sits In the secret
councils of the machine." Uefeirlng to
a Philadelphia's visit to a piomlnent
western politician lie said the phlla
delphlan was surprised to find half a
dozen reporters waiting bis arrival,
one of whom gave him the exact lan
guage of the despatch sent two days
before. Upon reaching his friend of
ileo. the PJiilndelphinu found tro dis
patch unopened, having not been re
ceived by his friend.
"The papers in J'ennsyvanla that do
not belong to the syndicate of which
I speak," he continued, "arc in the
minority. .Many counties have not a
single paper that will criticise the
wrong doings of the mnclilne. yet they
nro the supposed educators of the peo
ple." ItKFHItltl.W, TO AX AMHND.MIONT.
Kofeirlng to an amendment made by
Senator Quay on April I, to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill to acquire
a structure In Washington, known as
tho Union building, for Jfi.io.non, m,-,
AVanainaker said:
It is alleged in Washington that tho
property belongs to ex-lniicil .Stales
.Senator Don Cameron. This fact was
once circulated throughout tho senate
and Senator Quay made m. appeal 10
his colleagues lor (lie parage t ti1B
amendment on tb. grounds of per
gonal and senatorial courtesy. The
highest estimate placed upon the value
of tho building was Jlw.OiV. while real
i-stato men said It was really worth
much less. Yet .Senator Quay In tho
hours of the nation's llnantlal emer
gency sought to maki tin- govern
ment pay nn extra quarter nt a million
dollars. The proposition o mon
strous that the attempted overcharge
was tittn"ked by Senators (Jallinger
nnd Klklnx nnd of all the members of
the United Suites senate. Senator
Quay, with tho aid of the great carper
ate interests that back him. could
muster but fourteen otes lor his
amendment. Hut the nouspapcis
could see nothing of inteiest to their
renders In Pennsylvania in tills as
sault upon tho United States treas
ury. But within tho next few days It
is telegraphed over the entire stato
that a Pennsylvania congressman hail
called a colleague a liar and that
Senator Quav had asked President
JIoKlnlcy for another place for a
henchman.

Action on Cuban All'itlm.
Wnshlngton, April 19. Comparative
ly lltle business was tinnsneted by the
senate today, all of the senators being
fatigued on account of their long vigil
last night over the Cuban resolutions.
Consideration of t)u sundry civil np
proprlntlon bill was resumed and this
wldu latitude of debate permitted un
der the rules of the senate afforded
oppottunlty for some explanations to
be made 'oncernliig the action of the
senate upon the Cuban resolution: Mr.
Cockrell (Mo.) and Mr. Huron (On.)
explained the action of the Democrats
in voting :iuaiiist the conference leport
In the early houts of this moinlug and
the colloquies tllltt ensued between
them and some of the ltepublicau sen
atois was spicy and interesting. A
running lire of debut was participat
ed In by Mr. Mantle (Mont.), Mr. Can
non (Utah). Mr. Hale (Mo.), Mr.
Spooner (Wis.) and others, the discus
sion lasting about three hours.
In course of a dry routine discussion
of ii minor nmendment to the pending
sundry civil bill, Mr. Cockrell (Mo.)
Injected some life Into the debate by
throwing down the gauntlet to Mr.
Hale for some utterances the latter
had made during the Cuban debate.
Ho expressed the desire that Mr. Hale
would use his great Influence to get
the ltepubllcans In line upon tho pend
ing amendment.
Mr. Hale expressed the hope that all
Hopubllcans would be found In solid
phalanx In support of their president
nnd their party. "I may be pardoned,
too. for expressing the hope," said Mr.
Hale tauntingly, "that all Democrats
nnd nil members of other parties sliull
be found supporting not the president
alone, but the country In all patriotic
matters."
"I too, shall welcome the day when
men of all parties may Join with the
president In support of patriotic poll
cles," declared .Mr. Cockrell "but if
the president of the United States ex
pects me to be a mil to his kite and
to swing to his coat tnils, he will find
himself greatly mistaken."
COCKUHLI.'S INSINUATIONS.
Mr. Cockrell then launched Into an
extended speech In which he sharply
attacked tho administration nnd con
gress for their action on the Cuban
question. Mr. Cockrell adverted to
the purpose of the resolution passed
early this morning, intimating that It
would enable those so Inclined to take
advantage of the Cuban patriots.
Mr. Alllxon (la.) called Mr. Coekrell's
attention to the fourth resolution which
declared that It was not the purpose of
the United States to acquire teirltory.
bur slinplv to pacify the Island.
When he referred to the notion of tin
senate and of congress into yesterday,
Mr. Hale Intel rupted him to Inquire
why It was that the Democrats of the
sniale, particularly as a body, voted
ng'iinst the nctlnn fcr ehlch they had
been clamoring for months,
Mr. Cockrell replied that when the
question finally ciime beforo the senate
it was nn the particular matter as to
win tin r the recognition of independ
ence should be Incorporated In tho res
olutions. That amendment. Mr. Cock
rell continued, was the only point in
Issue on the Until vote.
e'urlher colloquies continued in which
Paeon (;a.. Fairbanks (Intl.). Spoo
ner (Wis l and Cockrell and Hale par
ticipated. Mr. Hacon (Cii.) In sustaining the po
sition of the Detnoeints, took the same
poMtb.r. he ti ok last night, that tho
Democrats had voted time and again In
suppoit of their position so they voted
to .sustain it by opposing the confer
ence icpoit which struck out the provi
sion for tecognitlon of independence.
The senators dually fell Into a teehnl
cr.l dlseussl m as to what was Implied
In a vote for a conference report.
Mi. Hacon declared that the resolu
tions would hue become a law If the
Tin pie amendment had prevailed, the
onlj ln'ieiencu being that in that event
tli: Insolvent government would have
been reognlzi(l.
To this proposition many (pub
onns exclaimed "no. no" In unison, but
m-iic uttempted at that time to explain
tho leisins for their dishorn.
All this had been In the way of in
tci'i uptlon during Mt. Cockrell's speech.
Jin lesumed at this point his discussion
of the president's policy which he con
tended from the ptesldentV own lan
guage meant Intervention In the shape
of "hostile constraint" upon both par
ties into tho Cuban war, Is upon the
Cubans as much as upon the Spanish.
He contended that this policy only
looked to ti par ideation of the island
of Culm, nol to the expulsion of the
Spaniards oi the establishment of n
republic in Culm
Without concluding his speech, Mr.
Cockrell yielded for an executive ses
sion upon conclusion of which I he sen
ale adjourned.
QUIET IN THE IIOUWK.
Tho houso presented n most desolate
appearance when it convened at noon
today, after the weary all-night ses
sion. The members uero late In get
ting in their places, nnd the galleries
that huve been thronged for days were
almost deserted. Tho climax, had been
i earned. Tho Cuban resolutions, which
laid served as the magnet, had been
passed ant the public appetite was sat
isfied. The house remained In session only
a half hour nr.d no business was trans
acted. Speaker Itecd signed the Cuban reso.
lutlons, and Mr. tlrosvenor (Hep,, O.)
niado a personal explanation iclatlvo
to an editorial in New York papers
commenting upon his statement in tho
house on April 7 that "this war will be
fought under the banner of tho Ilepub
llc.in administration of this govern
ment or It will not be fought nt all."
Mr. Orosvenor said ho hud only
meant that ns the present administra
tion had tin ee years to run, tho war
which was upon us must bo fought dur
ing its life or not at all. He had meant
no reflection nnd had appealed to both
sides of the house to stand by the ex
ecutive who had been assaulted.
"In this connection," concluded Mr.
Orosvenor, "I desire to say I believe
this wnr will be energetically waged
both In a military sense nnd In the
legislation necessary to carry It on, nnd
I believe the response to call to arms
will bo unanimous. There will be no
political division. It will come from
Democrats, Populists as well as from
Republicans, and especially do I be
lieve the response to patriotism will
come from overy southern state nnd
that the wholo union will share Its echo
of loyalty." (Qreat appIrui.)

resting a while, he endeavored to pick
up the scent by scouring around In a

wandered discontentedly homeward.

Someone has said, "Style is the
dress of thought." Do you realize
when one visits your home how
the furnishings tell the character of
the occupant? In one home you
will find ordinary inoffensive styles,
that's the "thoughless" buyer. In
another hideous colors and won
derful designs. That's the "care
less" buyer. In another dainty,
graceful designs, harmonious col
ors, the work of artistic people.
Which will you choose ?
