The politicians are all at sea as to
who will le nominated for Vice fTesi
dent at St. Iiouis.
Til K fire-bells are to be rung and can
nn fired in Canton the moment Mc-
Kinley is nominated at SLLouis.
The latest campaign rumor is that
the enemies of Major McKinley have
raised a million dollars, to be used to
defeat his nomination. The story is
generally lau plied at.
IJekoke leaving for SU Louis Monday
evening, M. A. llanna said that he had
his fiirhting clothes on, and that there
would be no let-up on the McKinley
Fide until their candidate is nominate!.
Kansas Democrats on Wednesday
elected a delegation to the ationa
convention and bound them to vote for
no presidential candidate who was not
unequivocally for the free coinage of
silver.
Ax kfkokt will prolally lie made in
the Republican National convention to
t'hange the representation to one dele

and an additional one for each 7,i)
Ik-publican votes jxilled.
The Maine Republican State con
vention at Rangor on Tuesday nomin
ated Hon. Llewellyn Powers for Gov
enior. The platform declared against
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and in favor of Reed's candidacy for
the Presidential nomination.
A Geokhia man is going to run for
any flice he can get, on the following
platform: "I never was in the war;
never hollered at the surrender, and
never killed anybody that let me alone,
and the only thing I know about the fi
nancial question is this: I need money."
State Senator Iioies Penrose and
Hon. John Wananiaker were candid
ates for U. S. Senatorial instructions at
the Huntingdon county Republican
primary held last Saturday. Latest re
ports are to the effect that Penrose car
ried the county by a handsome ma
jority.
The Magee-Flinn people won out in
the primary elections in Allegheny
county on Saturday, electing their en
tire county ticket by safe majorities.
The battle between the friends of Mc
Kinley and Quay was eliminated by
the Senatos's frank acknowledgment
that McKinley would le nominated at
SL Iuis on the first ballot.
The New York Herald furnishes es
timates from all over the country as to
the strength of free silver in the Demo
cratic National convention. A compi
lation of these dispatches shows that
free silver will have a clear majority,
although not the two-third required to
name a candidate. The figures, it i
estimated, will be as follows: For free
Mlver, 50.:; against it, 37:5; doubtful, 31.
The Republicans of Maine held their
convention on the 2d inst, and adopted
the following on the money question:
"We are opposed to the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver, except by inter
nationul agreemeut, and until such
agreement can le obtained we lielieve
that the present gold standard should
be maintained." This is very clear,
concise and easily understood. It would
do very well for the St. Lauts conren
tion to copy, and is a greilt deal better
than the Pennsylvania resolution
whi"h Senator Quay says is "good
enough for anybody.''
Vekv remarkable is the language of
Hon. W. M. McKaig, of the Cumber
land, Md.. Congressional district. The
gtaitlemau is a Democrat of the Cleve
land school, and resolutions drawn up
"V-iiia, favoring the present adminis
tration, and protesting against free
Vuiage, having b?en laid upon the ta
ble ly the convention, this gentleman
as'ied that his name I? withdrawn as a
delegate, as he did not care to repre-M-nt
a convention that "had no party
pr'.n ?iples to enunciate." The surprise
is the greater since all along it had lieeft
mippxed that this part of Maryland
was almost solid for sound money.
A roRRKSPOMiKXT recently wrote to
the Si. LwisGlobe- Democrat inquiring
liow much gold there is in a twenty
dollar gold-piece, and what is done
with the excess if the face value exceed
the bullion value. The reply was: "The
gold coins of the I'nitcd Stateareeom
p ised of ninety parts gold, two and a
half of silver, and seven aud one half
of copper. The duuble eagle, or forty
dollar gold-piece, weighs exactly 51G
grains, is -Jlhs of an inch in diam
eter, and 77-W00tlis of an inch thick.
Of course, there being ten i?reeut, of
'by used in the manufacture, the face
value so:u?hat exceeds the bullion
valje of the ciin, but not sufficiently
to render it a source of much profit to
the government.

This Concress has unseated nine
fraudulently elected Democrat and put
in their nlaces the Republicans who
were legally elected. One of the men
seated is George W. Murray, of the
First South Carolina district. He is a
colored man, and for that reason the
oll moss-back rebels in the district
counted him out, although he was
elected by a large majority, aa the com
mittee found when it investigated tne
case. His opponent, on the face of the
returns, had almost 2.000 majority, but
the committee reversed this and found
that Murray had carried the district by
a thousand, and he was given the eeat
to which he was fairly entitled. I here
will be no more counting out of colored
men in South Carolina when they run
for Congress. They have the satisfac
tion of knowing now that they will
get their rights, and that will continue.
Harrisburg Telegraph.
Is the Kentucky Democratic State
Convention, which met on Wednesday
last, the free-silver element outnuiu-
lrpil the cold delegates three to one.
The Courier-Journal, the leading Dem
ocratic journal in that State, has this to
say on the subject: They (the Demo
crats) have repudiated the only Presi
dent the Democratic party has elected
and seated for fifty years. They have
repudiated the most distinguished of
Kentucky's living sons, and the great
est Democratic intellect in the United
States. They have spit upon the fath
ers of the party whose name and organ
ization they claim, have pronounced
Jefferson an ignoramus, Jackson a con
spirator, Kenton a knave, and Cleve
land a traitor. For the faith handed
down through a hundred years of glo
rious party history, they have substitu
ted a fad rejected by every intelligent
civilization on the globe, and for the
exponents of that faith they have sul
stituted such apostles of populism as
Stewart, such exhorters of socialism as
Tillman, such evangels of anarchism
as Altireld. Saturday's work makes
Kentucky Republican for years. Be
fore Saturday Bradleyisin was dead,
but Saturday made it possible for any
Itepublicans to carry Kentucky over a
party which binds itself to the corpse
of free-silverism. The one thing now
for Kentucky Democracy Is that the
Chicago convention shall not ratify its
stupendous blunder, and that chance
seems all too remote.
Ho Real Cause for Anxiety.
From the Philadelphia Tress.
In consequence of the a4ion of certain
Iciiioeratie State conventions the unfor
tunate impression seems to have been
created in some quarters that the whole
West and South is permeated with the
free silver craze. This is not true, and is
therefore not sensible. The present free
silver ebullition on the part of the Demo
crats in so many States could have been
expected, and proliably was expei-ted by
those who have noted the action of Deni
oeratic members of Congress from those
sections.
It is gratifying to be able to say with
truth that in most of the States in ques
tion a strong Democratic minority and
practically all the Republican voters are
in favor of honest money. Outside the
less than half a dozen States in which the
silver mining interests are dominant the
free silver sentiment is chiefly directed
by l)emocratic-Popiilist politicians ho
are unfortunately able to influence con
ventions and elect delegates whose nun-
er is probably out of all proportion to
the real sentiment they are assumed to
represeut. We in this part of the conn
try have had repeated and forceful dein
onstration of how the people may be one
way and the politicians and their dele
gates another. There are- some present
conditions of that kind in Pennsylvania,
though happily not on the issue of dis
honest money. It is eay, therefore, to
understand that thero may be more free
silver delegates in the coming liemoeratic
National Convention than the real free
silver sentiment among the people
justifies.
To suppose that the business commu
nities of the South and West are in favor
of a debased piouey is to suppose that
they want to commit business suicide.
They understand that they could not con
duct financial operations successfully in
the confusion that must result from un
settling the present standard. Many
millions of Kastern capital nave gone into
these Western and Southern sections to
help their development in the past This
money has n r eeessary to them. They
could nit have advanced as they have
without it If by any possibility and
there is no mch possibility this year
they could force a free silver policy upon
the country, they could not exjiectto rely
upon the resources which have been of
such advantage to them in the past
There is no intelligent business man iu
any part of the country who does not fully
understand and appreciate this.
The prospective action of the politicians
who will control the Chicago convention
need alarm no one. A declaration In be
half of the free coinage of silver will in
jure only the Democratic party. The
nominee of that convention will Dot com
mand the confidence of the country ; he
will be repudiated by tens of thousands,
if not by hundreds of thousands, of the
voters of his own party, and he cannot be
elected. The people have made much
progress.toward a correct appreciation of
the money question within the past year;
they will make much more in the coming
six months. There U no real cause for
anxiety on this point
Whitela Beid ea Torn Bed.
When asked his views concerning the
man to be given the second place on the
Republican ticket Whitelaw Hied said to
a newspajier interviewer
"My big namesake from Maine would
nndoub tedly make the ideal candidate,"
said Mr. Reid The sentimentn favor
of his nomination seerns to prevail lo all
parts of the country."
"Will he accept T' was asked.
"The question should be, can he re
fuse? When a man enters npon the pub
lic service, and is honored for years by
his party, he can nit well refuse to serve
where the people wish to place him.
But I prefer to say little on that subject
You know there are several candidate
in my own State."
14 Would yon accept the place?"
"I am not a candidate, was net a can
didate when I was nominated before, and
I am sure that the office ia not seeking
uie now." .
Should protection or silver be made
the chief issue?"
"The issue is simply that the people
realize that they made a mistake when
they intrusted the Government to Demo
crats four years ago, and that they will
put back the party that gave them a
strong protective tariff, a creditable for
eign policy and a sound currency." I
PURE" THINGS.
THEY AXE 0HLY LABELED PPM.
Whea They are Examined Cloeely They
are Toand Adulterated.
The action of the Department of Agri
culture in enforcing the pure food law
has driven the manufacturers of adulter
ated article to various devices in order
to avoid the penalties for a violation of
legal provisions. The laleat U that of
glass ea of honey labeled "Pura Clover
Honey." and on the back of the glaaa tha
word "-impound" may be found in email
letters. The Department hold mat
"pure clover hoiiey" can not be a com
pound and that the article on na
lalel a fraud. Its fraudulent character is
.tin fiirttior shown bv the fact that each
glass contains a piece of genuine honey
m hich oecuDies fully one-nnn ol tne ul
terior of the glass. Thereare therefore two
distinct violations of the law; a cheaper
and inferior substance is substituted for a
more valuable one with intent to de
fraud the purchaser, and glucose is sub
stituted for the genuine honey; the
labeling is also contrary to the spirit and
intent of the law. The Department nas
nild that "mire clover honey" can con
tain nothing but honey stored up by beea
and that the introduction of any oiner
substance makes it a compound aud
renders dealers liable to the full penalty
of the law.
Secretarv Edge has upon his dek two
packages of imitation eggs, or rather of
material intended as a substitute for eggs,
for neither is the product of the hen.
One furnishes for the sum of ten cents
a material which for all ordinary cook
ing purposes is a substitute for one and
oue half doren eggs; another package, at
the same price furnishes, the material
which is a subtitute for the whites of one
and one-half doeen eggs, Think of this;
no more buying the whole egg wnon only
the whites are wanted for a special pur-
nntwr no more buving the wnoie ega
when ouly the yellows are wanted for
cakes; the good wife will no longer nave
the unused portion of the egg sitting
d until she is compelled, in sheer
wir-riVfcnrt to concoct some kind of cake
not actually wanted, in order to utilize
ha nnHinn not used in the batch made
up. The trade is also prepared to furnish
in nicelv labeled tin cans another linita-
tinn nf tho vellow of eeirs which closely
rcspmhles the genuine article and looks
fir all the world as if some careless ser
vant girl had broken the eggs, drained
the whites off and carelessly thrown the
vellows into the can until it was mil.
At the risk of again arousing our old
friend. Reeder, we may suggest that this
imitation is furnished by the same men
who make the oleomargarine "not the
legitimate product of the cow."
The Department is meeting with more
or less trouble with vinegars colored so
as to resemble "pure cider vinegar," and
offered and sold as such. Distilled ana
m ine vinerars are colored with cheap
materials until they closely resemble the
true product of the orchard and many
shekels are thus raked into the coffers of
the unscrupulous retail merchant The
Tlpnartinent in self- defense, is seriously
considering the propriety of deciding
that vinegar shall not be colored except
bv the legimate process of distillation
fermentation. The manufacturers usually
sell the colored distilled and wine vine-
ran for what thev reallv are. but the an
r -
scruoulous retail grocer and dealer too
often sells them to the unsuspicious citi
zen as the legitimate product of the or
chard. One dealer in the interior of the
State has leen detected in making "pare
rider vineear" from molasses and water.
and is compelled to face the court and tell
wh v this was doue. The washi ngs of the
steamers which transport sugar and mo
lasses in bulk are made into vinegar at a
cost of less than two cents per gallon and
sold to the unsuspecting Philadelphia
housewife as a first rate article made
from apples. Ilnrrinhnrg Tclegrnph.
Hegro CoBgresimaa Seated.
Washixotos, D. C, June i.-There is
once more a colored member of the House

1 1 ou se voted to s eat G eorge W. Si u rray ,
of Sumter, S. C, in the place of William
Rlliottof the First district, who has
been occupying the seat since last De-
cemler. There was great applause when
the colored member went down the aisle
to take the oath, and after it was admin
istered by speaker Reed, Murray received
quite an ovation from the members, who
crowded around him to shake him by
the hand and welcome him back to his
old seat, which he occupied during the
last Congress.
Seedi to Grow Silver Tree.
Washington, D. C, June 4. The Sec

from one of the entomological agents of
the department at the Cape of Good
Hope a numlier of the seeds of the South
African silver tree. Some attempts have
been made to acclimate it In Southern
K u rope, but so far as known without
success. It is confidently believed that
it may be suecessfuly introduced in
Southern California and Southern

J. Battle With Hyeni.
Bripoepoht, Conn., June ft. Harlo
Northrup, in charge of the cage of hyenas
in the Barnum fc Bailey show, this morn-
ng exhibited great nerve in whipping
into submission four or those savage
brutes, in the presence of a great crowd
of people on Main street, during the pa
rade of the show. v-
From the time the parade left the cir
cus grounds the animals were restless,
and Northrup kept a close watch on them.
At the corner of Main and State streets
the largest of the four hyenas sprang at
Northrup. He waa on the watch lorsucu
a move, and stepped aside and dealt the
animal a bard blow on the head with the
loaded whip which be held in his hand.
The brute retreated to the corner, but
another took advantage of the situation
and attempted to pass behind Northrup.
Again the heavy whip fell, aud blow after
blow waa dealt on the head of the hyena
until he retreated to bis corner.
The two other animals In the cage be
came restless and started to walk up and
down the cage. The first to receive the
blow from the whip, still smarting un
der the sting, got up from the corner, and
then all four started to run around the
cage. By this time the parade bad got
Into Main street A crowd had been at
tracted by the cries of the animals and
the action of the keeper, and thronged
along sidewalk and street Back and-
forth across the cage the four angry hy
enas strode, apparently waiting for a
chance to down Northrup. The keeper is
a Bridgeport boy, and had many friends
and acquaintances in the crowd.
"Give them the whip," "Get out of the
cage" and all sorts of advice was given
by the spectators.
One of the brutes was covered wp.h
blood from the wounds inflicted by the
heavy whin Northrup used, and the keep
er, too, was stained with blood.
At last the four animals made a con
certed rush toward Northrup, and he was
knocked to the floor of the cage; not,
however, until he got in one blow with
the whip, sufficient to causa one of the
byeuaa to measure Its length on the floor.
When the spectators saw Northrup go
down there waa great excitement, and a
rush was made to the aide of the cage.
The keeper was on his feet in an instant
and then jumped into the remaining ani
mals, and, after a struggle, beat them in
to submission. When the four brutes had
surrendered, and were docile again
and Northrup had again taken his Beat
in the end of the cage, the crowd that had
watched the affair gave him a round of
cheers.
Bate Prejndioe at St Lonie.
St. Lovis, June 8. But three mem-
Iters of the national committee have so
far arived in St Louis. There appears
to be considerable difficulty in securing
quarters for the colored delegates to the
convention, and G. A. Hill, national
committeeman, from Tennessee, is
quoted in an afternoon paper as saying:
"Cnless quarters are provided imme
diately I shall telegraph the colored
members of the Tennessee delegation to
stay at home. I do not intend that they
shall come to St Louis and either go
hungry or eat in a place in which they
would stable a horse at home."
Judge Long, national committeeman
from Florida, is also in an indignant
frame of mind over the alleged neglect
of the comfort of the colored delegates.
The members of tne business men's
league are alive to the gravity of the
situation relative to the negro question
and promise an early solution of the
trouble. The secretary of the league
says that the Mississippi delegates did
not apply for quarters until the leading
hotels had contracted for their rooms.
He says further that every promise of
the league will be fulfilled.
Enthntiaim Breaks Loose.
St. Lovis, June 8. To-day there are

words, "Patriotism, Protection aud
Progress, Our Nation's Choice."
The gavel which will be used in call
ing the convention to order was made
from a piece of timber in the building in
which Missouri's ordinance of secession
was passed. The gavel is the handiwork
of James Moore, an ex-Confederate sol
dier and a Republican.
R. C. Kerens, Missouri's National com
mitteeman, and ex-Congressman Nathan
Frank, have left here for Canton, O., in
response to a telegram from Maj. McKin
ley, asking Mr. Kerens to come for a con
ference.
The accommodation of the negro dele
gates at the hotels has begun to assume
troublesome importance. There are G4 of
these, including contestants. The busi
ness men's league has issuer, a circular
calling npon all public places of enter
tainment to accord to the colored dele
gates such treatment as any reputable
person would receive.

Fortune Teller in a Will Case.
Lancaster, Pa., June 5. A peculiar
will contest involving 8100,000, has been
begun here. In which a fortune teller
figures prominently.
Conrad Swartz, who died a few weeks
ago, deeded his real estate to four of his
children shortly before his death. He
gave nothing to one daughter, nor the
children of a deceased son. To-day these
disinherited ones entered an action of
ejectment against the four lucky children
to get their share of the estate. They
allege that these four children induced
the old gentleman to consult a fortune
teller, and after his visit to her he be
came greatly prejudiced against the
plaintiffs.

Simon said the governess must come
back. Mr. Simon said "no." Mrs.
Simon went to live with her father, and
hnstiand and wife both sought separation
in the Courts. Judge Gildersleeve found
that neither of them had made, out a
case. The Appellate sustains him. Jus
tice Williams says:
"While, in a legal sense, the hnstiand
is the head of the family and baa the
right to rule the household, and to com
pel his wire as well aa hie childien to
oley him and submit to his dictation in
the details of the management of the
house and servants, still the practical
view of the marital relations usually ia
that within her peculiar sphere the
home the wife should have her own
way, and be allowed to manage and con

certainly not be subjected in the pres

by the offensive assertion that he is
master and she must iu all things obey
him."
Xoseowt's Horror Multiplies.
Paris, June 6. A dispatch has been
received here from Moscow by a French
newspaper presenting an appalling re
port of the killed and injured at the Mos

ago. The previous reports of the calami
ty that occurred during the wild panic
that prevailed during the monster coro
nation festival did not, it is now said.
give an accurate account of the casualties,
and it is believed that nearly or quite
40U0 persons lost their lives in the frenzi

Battle With a Had BalL
C u est E it, Pa., June L A ferocious bull
to-day attacked Elias II. West of Bridge-
water, and the victim was only saved
from death by the assistance of several
men in a neighboring field. They were
attracted by the bull's fierce bellowing.
The bull was in the field where Mr. West
was working. The man paid no atten
tion to its bellowing, but when he saw
the animal running towards him he
realized his danger. He was in the
centre of the big field, and had no means
of defense. With head down and with
his tail up in air the bull charged Mr.
West, knocking him into a furrow.
When Mr. West landed in the furrow
it was luck for him, as the maddened
beast vainly tried to gore him. He hug
ged the earth cioe, while the bellowing
of the bull waa heard a mile away. The
farmers In the adjoining field, seizing
clubs, hurried to V.'wi'i rescue, and ar
rived just aa the bull changed his tactics
and was preparing to jump upou the
prostrate man. The beast was driven off
and Mr. West was taken home badly in
jured. He is 50 years of age and was
nominated Countv Auditor at the recent
Republican convention.
Pennies And Other Coint.
It is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metal, such as pen
nies and nickels, are made at the Phila
delphia mint and that nearly HX),jn0,OiiO
pennies are coined every year. This
large nuutber is occasioned by the fait
that thousands of pennies are lost annu
ally, and the government has some diffi
culty In maintaining a supply.
The profit of the government on their
manufacture is large, according to the
Scientific American. The blanks for
making them are purchased for $1 a 1,UI0
from a Cincinnati firm that produces
them by contract. Blanks for nickels are
obtaiued in the same way, costing Cncle
Sam only a cent and a half apiece.
Gold is coined in Philadelphia and
San Francisco. Not enough of it comes
into the miut at New Orleans to make
the coinage of it worth while.
Gold pieces are the only coins of the
United States which are worth their face
value intrinsically. A double eagle con
tains fJl worth of gold without counting
the one-tenth copper.

Washington, D. C, June 0. Presi
dent Cleveland sent to the House of
Representatives to-day a veto ineasaf on
the general deficiency bill, and bis de
cision was sustained by the House by
the decisive majority of lai to ). The
veto message was mainly historic con
cerning the French spoliation claims,

Cleveland referred to the fact that Presi

spoliation claims in 1S.V and that Presi

The conclusion of the reading of the

McKinley's Promise.
Major McKinley has made at least one
promise. In the presence of several
people only a week ago be made a prom
ise to Colonel Frederick Dent Grant ex-
minister to Austria and now a in em tier
of the happy family known as the New
York police board.
The thing promised was not a cabinet
office nor a foreign mission nor the col-
lectorship of the port of New York. It
is a promise to appoint Ulysses S. Grant
third to a cadetship at West Point A
few months before he died General Grant
wrote with trembling hand a letter ad
dressed to the President of the United
States, requesting the appointment of
this grandson to the United States Army.
It happens that young Grant will reach
the requisite age early in the term ot the
President of the United States who will
be inaugurated on the th of March next
Colonel Grant is no sure that Major
McKinley w ill be the man inaugurated
on that day that he has already given no
tice that he will preseut the draft for bis
son's appointment and considering that
General Grant signed the draft and Gen
eral Sherman indorsed it Major McKin
ley hardly needed to give the assurance
that it would be duly honored.
Ulysses S. Grant is now a bright lad, 16
years of age, attending school in New
York. He is a great student, speaks sev
eral languages fluently, and Is at the
head of all his classes.
Crops ia the State.
The following general condition of the
crops throughout the State for the week
ending on Monday, is reported by the
vt eatber Bureau :
Both temperature and rainfall were
above normal during the past week, with
oool nights. All cropa were materially
improved by timely, sufficient and well-
distributed rains In moat districts. With
the exception of the winter grains and
grasses previously injured by drought
and winter freezing, all crops are report
ed in good condition aud well advanced.
Harvesting will begin early, but the
wheat rye and hay crops will be short
because of their damaged condition in
the spring. Oats, corn, poiates and gar
den truck are doing well. Pastures have
improved, but many fields contain tr
ren patches. Fruit reports are conflict
ing; in some localities it is dropping bad
ly, while in others there are prospects of
a large yield. Cut worms will necessi
tate the replanting of considerable corn-

Even the detection of crime would not,
he said, justify such a procedure. Mr.
Heft bad stated that he was advised by
the justice of the peace to secure and
open the letter for the purpose of mak

to say that if the justice referred to was
