WEPNESOAT-

How would the people of Pennsyl
vania like to vote for Mtlhew Stanley
i'iy fr governor ?
The ttiltiation ha.- Iiecome w) strained
that Mr. Sylvester Soovc-I may at any
moment 1 mnielled to declare war.
Conscl (Jeneral Lee is steadily mak
ing a reputation as a man of energy
and discretion, and a patriot who un
derstands his full duty.
The loss by the Maine calamity is
over f4,o00,0uO, A modern leviathan
when it goes down carries with it a
good deal of treasure.
Kansas reports the prwiiects good
for an immense wheat crop, which sad
dens the Populist heart with an antici
I ated loss of several Congressmen.
The Senate vote on the bill to add
two regiments of artillery to the army
was nearly unanimous. It is a wi-e
measure for the permiuent security of
the country.
Is each of the three recent wars,
Chilian, Brazilian aud Chinese, a large
whip was sunk by a torpedo. The gi
ants of the ilwp have good reason to
fear explosives.
A Madrid paper fears that the Amer
ican divers investigating the Maine
wreck may I bribed. The regular bri
bery bureau at Havana ha rather weak
ened Spanish faith in human nature.
The proof of Spanish treachery in
the destruction of the Maine would
leave Spain without a friend among
nations owning a navy. Blowing up a
peaceful ship is as brave as a stealthy
blab in the back.
All. the Populists, Silver Republi
cans and Democrats are expected to
celebrate the birthday of Jefferson, April
l.'t, though if that statesman were alive
he could not identify himself with any
thing in their platforms with the aid of
the Verkes telescope.
We have not yet heard of President
Koontz, of the Taxpayers' I'nion, ap
jHiint'mg "an Executive Committee of
nine member, who shall assume con
trol of and conduct the ensuing cam
paign," as per resolution adopted at the
recent Bourse meeting at Philadelphia.
Pkb-.idk.nt McKinley said iu his
address at Philadelphia on Thursday:
"From the day our flag was unfurled
to the present hour no stain of a just
obligation riolated has yet tarnished
the American name." It is a proud
fact to recall a century after the retire
ment of Washington from public life.
Only one member of the House
Committee on Military Affairs voted
against reporting the two regiments of
artillery bill favorably. That commit
tee has sixteen memlnTs. Very few out
of the 3")7 members of the House will
oppose it when it comes up for passage.
There are over 70,003,000 people in the
country, and the copperheads among
them are mighty scarce.
The Government has more gold to
Bp ire now than it has 'greenbacks.
This is a marked change from the con
ditions just before fie election of ISKi
At that time it had very little gold, al
though it had sold f3;2,O00,O-3 of bonds
to buy gold. These days it has more
gold than it needs, and the amount on
hand keeps on growing. As an evi
djuoe of Gnancial confidence the treas
ury gold barometer is decisive.
The Taxpayers' Unionists, who or
ganized at Philadelphia some weeks
since, elected offlc rs for the ensuing
year, authorized their Chairman to ap
point an Executive Committee of nine
members to "conduct the ensuing cam
paign" in the interests of John Waua
ker for Governor are busily engaged
now in trying to figure out just where
they are at. Mr. Wanamaker, like
Br'er Babbit, has been "layiu' mighty
low," and up to date has not signified
his willingness to accept the nomina
tion so unanimously tendered him at
the hands of his followers.
The gold reserve has gone up another
notch. It has ju it p issed the $107,000,
033 mirk. The increase in the past six
months has been remarkably steady.
Ever since Bryan's defat it has been
growing, except for a few months in
1S.17, when an outward flow was under
way. Every year gold is exported,
t lough in soma years this is exceeded
by the inportatiou. At the preseut
time the United States has more gold
"J hand than it ever had before. The
treasury reserve has U-en higher than
it is now, but not since 1SM0. The p r
s.ius who were predicting that the
treasury gold fund would reach 17",.
000,000 Ibis year are likely to have their
expectations fulfilled.
One of the close friends of the Presi
dent makes a statement concerning the
view of the executive on the Cuban
situation. The drift of it is that the
President occupies a conservative posi
tin, is resolved not to be nuved into
hsty action, and that he i confident
t'ie independence of Cuba can eventu
ally be achieved by negotiations with
out war between this country and
Spain. That the President will act de
lib .Tately and with a full conviction of
du.y is not to be doubted. But he
spaks for himself as occasion arises.
Tje assurance that he will not be rash
w is not needed. The iutimatiou that
Cjba may possibly achieve its freedom
by a guaranteed Indemnity is interest
ing news.
The death of William M. SWigerly,
says the Allegheny Evenia tu?cord, is
a distinct loss not only to Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania, but to the na'ion.
Men of his genuiue stamp are not pleu
t ful as trees iu the forest. That he
died in the midst of endeavors to ar
range for the swift and sire rpy
rutnt ot the obligations incurred iu the
failure of his bank and trust company
is partly pathetic, but it is at the bot
tom an honor to the man. The heart
trouble which causd his death was un
doubtedly accentuated by worry over
his financial difficulty. Mr. Singerly
was a great newspaper man. In pri
vote life or pjbliv. ia business or in
more alluring walks of social relaxa
tion he was always a gentleman. Con
siderate of others, he never forgot ac
obligation, never overlooked a demon
stration, of worth in any one of those
around him. FrauV, genuine and loyal,
Mr. Singerly was a type of perfect
American mauhood.
To Coast If feae.
One half the number of improved can
non, mortars and empla'X-uieuts will be

the expiration of IrMi The Artillery
Board is constantly making practical sur
vey, so far as tbe relat to the army,
and the establishment of adequate mili
tary protection of our w-lioard, fre
quently urged upon the government by
the chambers of foramen1 of our man
time cities, is receiving a strong reinforce
ment from this source. Meanw hile tbere
is a means of defence from greater physi
cal calamity which do one afflicted with
nervousness or dyspepsia should neglect,
and that is the use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which by restoring the tone of the
nerves and stomach invigorates the en

Sid Hastings Help Foot tie Bill for the
Bourn Keetiij.
Governor Hastings Is said to have cast
his lot with the Municipal Leaguers, who
have put John Wanamaker forward as
thoir choice for the Gubernatorial nomi
nation. This information has reached
Senator Quay from Harrislmrg in a way
that lcivee no doubt of it conectness,
declares a dispatch from Washington.
It appears that the meeting at the
Bourse, Philadelphia, February 2d, at
which Wanamaker was selected ta the
choice of the anti-Quayites, cost nearly
1,300, and the understanding was that
the bill should be settled by Thomas Io-
lan and half a dozen other wealthy men
in xyuipathy with the movement. One
of theso aas Governor Hastings, and
when Mr. IoIan sent the Governor a
statement of the cost of the conference
and a request for one-seventh of the
amount the Governor promptly drew his
check and forwarded it to Mr. Dolan.
Constables Happy.
The constables of the state are jubilant
over their victory. As will be remem
bered, a number of courts of this com
monwealth recently ruled adversely on
the amount of cost to be paid the peace
preservers for their services. They claim
ed ten cents for each and every mile trav
eled in the performance of their official
duties, but the court decided this was
too expensive and cut their fees in two.
The otllcers thon concluded to organize
and tight the case. Counsel was secured,
and the first case taken up was one from
Cumlterland county, in which the Su
preme Court was appealed to. A decision
was rendered last week, the higher trib
unal claiming that the officers are entitled
to ten cents per mile according to act of
Assembly. Now proceedings will be in
stituted for the recovery of back fees, aud
the constables are prepared to fight the
matter to the end. Thecouimissionersof
the various counties of the state are now
engaged in strengthening their organiza
tion, but for what purpose is not apparent
at this time.
The Commander of tie Kaine.
Captain Sigsbee was born in Albany
and educated at the Altmny academy,
having lieen appointed by Erastus Corn
ning to the United States Naval academy,
from which he was graduated in lsiil He
was immediately detailed to active ser
vice as ensign on the Metacomet, w hich
look part in the naval operations that
ended in the capture of Mobile. "Cap
tain Sigsbee," says the Albany Evening
Journal, "is well remembered in chroni
eles of naval service for his work on the
coast survey. He is one of the bravest
and most discreet o'licera In the navy.
He is a man who is' known to be what is
called 'remarkably level-headed,' and
those who know him best will be the last
to believe tliat such carelessness as an ex
plosion aboard ship would indicate could
occur on any vessel under his command.

Negro Postmaster Shot and Killed.
At Lake City, South Carolina, at one
o'clock on the morning of Washington's
birthday, postmaster Biker, colored, and
his child were shot to death aud their
bodies cremated.
It is said that a mob nuinberingseveral
hundred persons surrounded Baker's
house, where the postoflice is kept, set
tire to the building and opened fire with
guns upon it. Baker was killed and his
wife, bis two daughters and one son were
seriously wounded. The woman had a
baby iu her arms and she says that the
ball went through her hand, aud passed
through the baby, killing'it. The bodies
of Baker and the child were found in
the ruins of the building the next morn
ing. All the wounded are maimed for life,
the two girls may lose their anus. All
of the mail matter was destroyed. There
is no clue.
Give the Children a Drink
called Grain-O. It is a delicious, appe
tizing, nourishing food drink to take the
place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and
liked by all who have used it because
when properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee but is free from all its injuri
ous properties. Grain-0 aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. It is not a
stimulant but a health builder, and chil
dren, as well as adults, can drink it with
great benefit. Costs about 1 as much as
coffee. 15 and 25c.
Some Are Exempt.
Some of the men are figuring on their
chances of having to tight in case of war
with Spain. The laws of Pennsylvania
declare that every able-bodied male citi
aon, lelw een the ages of 21 and 4! years,
must be enrolled in the militia, sul ject to
active duly in cse of war, invasion, the
prevention of invasions, the suppression
of riots, and to aid civil officers in the ex
eoiiiionof the laws of the Common wealth ;
and be Governor, who is the commander-in-chief
of the militia, shall order out
for actual ervice, by draft or otherwise,
as many of the militia as necessity de
mands. '
Such is the law, and under it all able
bodied citizens are liable, but there are
exemptions and this is the very part that
the shouting patriot has leen sluing up at
nights thinking about, hoping that he
may be one of theexempta. Those whom
the State discards absolutely from its mil
itary service are: Idiots, lunatics, com
uiou drunkards, vagabonds, paupers, and
persons convicted cf any infamous crime ;
also those not liable to enrol' men t in the
miiitia are: Members of the Legislature
and tho officers, the Secretary of the Com
monwealth, Attorney General, State
Treasurer, Surveyor General, Auditor
General. State Librarian, Superintendent
of common schools, all the Judges of the
Court. Sheriff, Recorder of Deeds, Reg
ister of Wills, Protbonotary, District At
torney aud Clerks of the Courts.

TORPEDO'S WORK
Catut cf the Wreck of the Maine, Virta
ally Kccwa.
MISSILE T2.0X THE OUTSIDE.
The Court of Inquiry has determined
to return to Havana r further in
vestigation, it lii)g satisfied as to the
cause of the Maine's explosion. What
ever will be the report of this Court, the
divers who have examined the wreck are
satisfied that the terrible disaster was due
to an explosiou from without the battle
ship, and they have so testified. It is be
lieved that the cause of the explosion
was a torpedo and not a submarine mine.
War preparations throughout the United
Stat os are being pushed with great rap
idity. All reserve guns at Washington
will be immediately hurried to New
York, with which to equip the ocean lin
ers, which are subsidized by our Govern
ment. All the arsenals are hurrying
their work. Over a thousand men are to
be added to the navy. The war feeling
ia growing in Madrid.' and while the
newspapers and people are demanding
war. the Spanish stock and money mar
kets are going down. . A report is expect
ed from the Court of Inquiry by next
Thursday, and then the President will
make a demand for indemnity, which
Spain will acknowledge and pay, it is be
lieved, in diplomatic circles. Should the
payment of the indemnity be refused
there will be war, and all our prepara
tions are made with the view of prompt
ly seizing Cuba.
Senator Sherman stated Saturday that
the Administration was considering the
amount of indemnity to be demanded
from Spain; the fact that the battleship
Maine was blown up by a torpedo from
the outside being now generally accepted
in Washington circles, though not offi
cially. The preparations that we are making
to be in a position to enforce our demand
for reparation are going on hurriedly.
The cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia
uow at League Island, Philadelphia, are
fast being made ready, and the Monitor
Terror lea Hampton Roads for New York
Saturday. A new gun for the defense of
Washington, D. C was tested yesterday
and threw a shot seven miles.
Spaiu is being thoroughly aroused and
preparations for war are being pushed
there. Fearing an uprising iu Havana,
Blanco is bringing reinforcements from
the field into the city.
NO HI RIITINU THE REPORT.
Washisotok, Fob. 2S. Though it was
said last week that the President expect
ed to receive the report of the naval
board of inquiry as to the cause of the
wreck of the Maine not later than next
Thursday, the Navy department now
gives out that any statements as to the
probable date of iu arrival are only
speculative and that the Secretary him
self has no knowledge of the time when
it may be expecteL The opinion still
obtains that the administration is in no
h irry to get this report, the object in de
laying boing tire gaining of lime in which
to make the preparations for the course
of action tho facts found -by the board
may make necessary.
But, while this is true of the President
and his Cabinet, the same energy does
not seem to pervade the leaders iu the
House. The bill for two additional ar
tillery regiments passed the Senate on
February it!, aud w as promptly reported
from the House Committee on Military
Affairs.
Members of Congress are daily receiv
ing letters from their districts containing
offers to enlist, and they have told the
President that he will have no trouble iu
getting all the soldiers he wants should
war ensue.
At the close of office hours this tele
gram came to the Navy department from
Admiral Sicard at Key West: Court of
inquiry will commence sessions at Key
West to-day. They must resume session
at Havana to obtain evidence of divers
after further work upon the wreck."
This communication sets at rest rumors
that the court was not to return to Ha
vana for the reason that it had discovered
the cause of the sinking of the Maine,
which was not an accident, and that they
had consequently no further business in
Havana. The court will be occupied at
Key West for some days in taking the
testimony of survivors there. Then,
upon the return to Havana, it is expected
that a gooj deal of time must rlapse be
fore the divers can get through the mud
which now encompasses tho lower part
of the wreck of the Maine and examine
the bottom.

WAsHiNiiTojr. D. C, Feb. 27. Under a
decision rendered by Secretary of the In
terior Hoke Smith, under the Cleveland
Administration, on May 27, 1 ";'!, in the
ease of Charles T. Bennett, Mr. Lochren,
the Commissioner of Pensions, organized
a Board of Revision iu the Bureau of
Pensions for the purpose of taking from
the files claims which had beeu allowed
under the act of June 27, 1S93, for a re-examination.
As a result of that re-examination
by Assistant Secretary Webster
Davis pensioners were reduced or drop
pet! in at least 25,(ki) cases.
Upon a careful examination of the action
then taken Mr. Davis has issued an order
affecting appeals pending in such cases,
and directing great care and a fair and
proper hearing for the deserving veteran
pensioners. It will thus be possible to
reverse the action of the Pension Bureau
and remand for further examination all
of these claims that show good prima
facie evidence.
A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Curo
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy bad
scrofula on his face, fcont and arms It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and handi were very bad.
It appeared in tbo form ot red pimples
which would fester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
tbey would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores We becamo
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and tho
only medicine which had belpd her was
Hood's Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla
the humor had ail been driven oat of his
blood and it has never since returned."

Seed Wheat Very Scares.
By reason of the high premium that
has been paid for choice hard northwest
ern whet in the terminal msrkets all
winter, tbo farmers all over Minnesota
and north Dakota have sold themselves
so bare of grain that they are short of
wheat for seed next spring. From 15,
UGO.OUO to lVMOJ bushels of wheat are
required in the to states for seed, and
only the choicest aud cleanest wheat is
used. There has been a premium over
May for this sort or wheat, ranging from
three to five cents a bushel, while May
should be worth about three cents more
than cash, o ins to the cost of carrying
the grain till then. This excess iu value
has made speculators of thousands of
farmers who, when they have sold their
cash wheat, have bought the May option
at the discount, and they are now carry
ing millions of bushels of May hers or in
Dululh or Chicago, on which they already
have profits as high as 10 or 15 cents a
bushel.
In the past few years the quality of
wheat grown in the northwest has deter
iorated. Ten years ago No. 1 hard was
the contract grade in terminal markets,
and for several years considerably over
half the wheat received at Dulutb was the
famous No I hard. Later this grade be
came scarcer and the grain dirtier, so that
contract grade was reduced from No. 1
hard to No. 1 northern. The crop of the
last year has been alarmingly short of
even No. 1 northern, not 15 per cent, of
the wheat received at Minneapolis for
months having come up to grade. The
cause of this is supposed to be due more
to a continual use of the same sued thau
to impoverishment of the soil, and a gen
eral effort is being made in both states to
import seed. Scotch fife wheat from fur
ther north, Manitoba and the valleys of
the Saskatchwan and Peace rivers will be
sought, and it is hoped so to improve tho
strains of wheat in the slates that for
years No. 1 hard will again lie common.
It takes less of hard wheat to make a bar
rel of Hour than of any other grade. New

W. X. Singerly is Dead.
Philadelphia, Feb. 27. William M.
Singerly died suddenly at his residence,
1701 Locust street, this afieruoon. Heart
disease was the immediate cause of death.
Mr. Singerly had been suffering foralc-.ut
10 days from a cold and had remained at
home since last Wednesday, although his
indisposition was in no way serious. While
sitting in his bod room smoking a cigar,
he was seized with a violent fit of cough
ing, and immediately afterward fell over
dead. In the room at the time were Mr.
Singerly's grand-daughtor Mabel Singer
ly Meredith, and two servants. His sou
in-law, James S. McCartney, had left I
few momenta before, aud Mr. Singerly
was apparently in good health apart from
his slight cold. The physicians say they
had frequently cautioned M. Singerly
that his heart was weak as a result of ex
cessive smoking and of bite his custom
was to take a "dry smoke." To-day, how
ever, his cigar was lighted, and it is
thought that the smoke brought on the
coughing spell, the severity of which rup
tured a vein of the heart. Mr. Singerly
leaves a daughter, Mrs. H. Singerly Bulcli,
who is at preseut touring Kiropu. His
wife died some years ag.
William Miskey Singerly was born in
Philadelphia December 27, ISti, being a
son of Joseph Singerly aud Katharine S.
Miskey.

JKRLMIAH UtIUADS, IskalI
Attest:- i
A. J. HlLfcM A V,
CUrk.
n f:ire concluding our report, we dem
it our duty to interwse objections to the
system of IxM.kkeepinff praciiceti in the
ollice of the County Comniisaioners,
whereby larce siinntcf the eouidy funds
are cartlrsly. if not illegally. dran
from the county treasury. It is manifestly
the duty f the ouiiiiiissioneis of the
county to draw rders on the cunty
treasury for every cent expended, and
not lo w ithdraw funds from the treasury
upon the mere presentation of bills or ac
counts stamped " Approved by the Coun
ty Comm'SKioners." We are of the opin
ion that the practice has resulted in great
injustice in the past, and it is nnnecsary
to point out the fearful consequences it
may have in store for the taxpayers of the
county if longer continued.
Objection ia interposed to issuing-orders
Ironi two or three uinerent sources, hich
of iUelf must Ik; rrgrded as unsafe busi
ness methods, as well as confusing to
those charged with auditing th'- same.
Objection is interposed to issuing dain
ty orders bearing interest, which we be
lieve has been done without warrant of
law and to the prejudice of the taxpayers
of tbecotiuty.
Objection is interposed to (he manner
in which the minute book, in the ofllee
of the County Commissioners, is kept. It
ia farcii-al and unbusinesslike to make
a tnii'Ute of the fact that the commission
ers met on Monday and adjourned on
Hsturday. without Hiving the names of
the commissioners present, and a full ar
ms. nt of I he public business transacted
by thetn each day Ihey were in session.
Koriona objection is interposed 10 issu
ing orders on the county Itreasnry for
cervices rendered by county 00m mission -era
and their employe liefore the same
have been furnished, aa it Is against pub
lic policy and without warrant of law.
Objection is interposed to drawing war
rants upon the county treasury upon pre
sentation of un itemized bills.
Objection is interposed to letting public
contracts in secret w ithout public uotiiss.
as we t-elieve it It be prejudicial to the
best interests of the taxpayers.
Objection is Interposed to the granting
r.f rebates npon taxes properly and legal
ly assessed, without due notice, as the
aatne is without warrant of law, andean
only be done ia the interest of favored
parties.
And we further certify and find that
there is a balanc doe the County of Som
erset from ex-CotiiitT Commissioner
Henry K. Barnett and S. L Shol.ero
