If SrAis should go under It would
create a terrible panic in Castile soap.
Uxcle Sam is again showing to the
world that be is a man who can keep
his temper at a trying time.
The war fever ia Spain uiiy abate in
a short time, cation, however
proud, Is expected to attempt the im
possible. If Mr. Wanamaker Ioesu't move
lively hts letter to the "business men"
will have to I put among the shelf
worn bargains.
At the Union anility primaries on
Saturday a direct vote was taken for
United Htates Senator, (iovemor and
Congressman, and M. 8. Q'lay, W. A.
Stone and Thad A. Mahon were respec
tively endorsed for those offices.
Republican primary elections were
held in a Dumber of the counties of the
State last Saturday, and in all of them
delegates favorable to the nomination
of Col. W. A. Stone for Governor were
selected. Chester county elected seven
delegates, all of whom art favorable to
CoL Stone.
The Wanamaker organ at West
Chester, the Republican, charges Pres
ident McKinley with wire-pulling from
the beginning of bis administration,
that he may succeed himself. When
De Lome said practically the sr-ne
thing all Americans were indignant,
but when the abject organ of a Phila
delphia millionaire merchant and poli
tician says it, a few of our people ap
plaud it as patriotic. Where's the dif
ference? The Republican should be
given its passports. Great is the power
of a 3-column advertisement for every
day in the year.
Wasamakkk is slow in writing his
letter, says the Lancaster Inquirer. It
is thought that he has determined not
to be a candidate for Governor. Possi
bly it has at last dawned upon him that
the meeting at the Bourse was made up
principally of "leg-pullers'' who care
more for a share of his millions than
for either Wanamaker or Reform. It
costs money to pay the campaign ex
penses of candidates for the Legisla
ture all over the State, as the Wanama
ker managers have been promising to
do in this county, and maybe John
can't exactly see any chance for reim
bursement. The Indiana Gold Democrats, at
their late conference, decided to stick
to their organization, and put up a can
didate for Congress in each district of
that State this year. This is an excel
lent example for the Cleveland and
Palmer Democrats of the country. If
they should do this in every State they
would keep the dishonest money vote
in the House of the next Congress down
to small figurc-s. They ought to do so
in every Northern and Western State
at least, and iu the old lorder States.
A sweeping defeat for the Bryanites
next November would drive the base
money issue eternally out of politics.
This is an eud for which every true fol
lower of Jelferson and Jackson shou'd
labor.
The Republican primary election in
Blair county will take place on Satur
day of next week. C. W. Stone has
announced his candidacy for Governor
and will be voted for along with the
oilier candidates, and it is said that W.
A. Stone will also announce, and that
the contest for the Blair delegates will
be betweeu the two Stones. Alvin Ev
ans, Esq , has announced as a candi
date for Congress, and will contest with
Congressman Hicks and N. P. Mervine
for the Congressional Conferrees from
that county. Some thirty candidates
have aunoLnccd for the various posi
tions to be filled. The outcome of the
Congressional contest will bewatclud
with much interest by the Republican
toliticiani in the other counties of the
district. Should Congressman Hicks
fail to carry bis own county he would
lie practically eliminated from the con
test for the district nomination, while
if Mr. Evans should carry Blair be
would go into the conference with six
oouferrees, for it is conceded that be
will get the conferrees from bis own
county (Cambria), and would thus be
in a position to control the nomination.
If be couldn't land the nomination
himself be could at least name the win
ner. Should Mr. Mervine win in bis
own county it would be anybody's fight
in the district conference.
Mr. John Waxamakek has not yet
made public bis decision as to whether
or not he will acp the call of the
Taxiayers' Union to lie their candidate
for Governor, and as a consequence
"the venerable 'General' Koontz," as
the UVookville Republican styles him,
has not yet, in bis capacity as President
f the Taxpayers' Union, appointed an
Executive Committee of nine members
to "conduct the ensuing campaign."
In the meantime the Republicans in
the various counties in the State are
holding their primary elections, and
the two Stones, William A. and Charles
V., are good-naturedly contesting for
the delegates at almost ev ry primary.
From present indications both will go
into the Convention with the support
of a large number of delegates, and,
should either t dominated, theothtr
will cheerfully acqtiesee in the nomi
nation, or that of any ther candidate,
and will earnestly support the nomi
nees of the Cocveutiou.
If President Kooutz ever appoints
bis Executive (kmmittee of nine mem
bers to "conduct the ensuing cam
paign," it will be after the State Con
vention has made its nomination, and
the "ensuing campaign"' will be con
ducted in the interests of Mr. Wana
maker or some other assistant-Democratic
candidate. The "General"' as
sisted in electing a Democratic Gov
ernor in 1SS2 and again in lsT0, and he
will probably do the same thing this
year if be gets a chance.

At theconHnssion of the reading of the
above A. J. Kauflinan. E-fi.. of Colum
bia, addrefminir the committee, sain be
failed to unii-ntand the import of the
resolutions. He was a reader of the news
papers, lut be did not know that there
was an independent movement abroad
in the State, and he asked the cenlle
man who offered the resolutions to ex
plain. Be inferred that the recent
meeting of Republicans at the Bourse
in Philadelphia was implied, but be was
unaware that at that meeting any state
ment was mads declaring for an inde
pendent candidate for Governor, or.
further, than any of those who attended
tbe meeting bad asserted their intention
to deert the candidates of the party.
lion. John H. I-audis in reply, said
that all Itepublicsns should regret the
neeetity for resolutions of such a char
acter as he had offered at any time, but
it was especially to be deplored at the
f i resent. Now, of all times, there should
harmony and a united feeling. But
the meeting of a number of gentlemen
at the Bourse was of such an unfortu
nate character as to lead many Republi
cans to believe that the ostensible ob
ject was to start an independent move
ment; that the attitude of the members
of the party assumed at that gathering
was for tbe express purpose of electing
an independent candidate for Governor.
Many newspapers led the people to be
lieve that this was the object, and such
was the interpretation placed npon the
action of those Republicans by some
members of both parties. We have vot
ers in Lancaster County w ho, within the
past forty-eight hours, have said that if a
certain gentleman is nominated for Gov
ernor they would not support the ticket.
Other Republicans prominent in the
State, some of whom are asking for an
honor from their fellow-citizens, have said
the same thing, so Republicans have a
right to know where their candidates will
aland, and every candidate who is asking
for the suffrage of his party should con
sider it a privilege and a duty to support
his ticket, and they should be invited to
express themselves on the subject. Mr.
Limits' speech was greeted with ap
plause. I.: many counties ol the State the party
rules require all persons who wish to an
nounce as candidates at the Republican
primaries to sign a written pledge that
they will support the entire ticket nomi
nated. We think it only right that this
sjould be done, and in view of the fact
that several persons in this county who
oontempUua being candidates at the com
ing primary, have publicly announced
that they would not support certain can
didates for the Governorship if nominat
ed, Chairman Berkley should refuse to
receive their announcements unless they
recant and pledge themselves, not only to
Hiinnort the ticket nominated at the pri-
, , - -
mary, but also the nominees of the Re
publican State convention. No man who
did not vote the Republican ticket at the
last general election can legally vote at
the primary. No man who will uot
cheerfully pledge himself to support the
entire Republican ticket at the fall elec
tion should be allowed to be a candidate
at the primary.
It it Safe to Bund Upon.
From the Baltimore American.
The chairman of the Republican Con
gressional Campaign Committee has just
made this announcement : "The oomicg
campaign will be fought out on the lines
of the platform adopted at SL Louis. That
will be our only guide, save as new issues
are created as contingencies arise and
new policies are made in Congress. No
committee has a rihtto make a platform
for the party, aud so we will be governed
by that adopted in 1896:
That platform, though it is now two
years old, baa lost none of its strength.
It was just tbe sort of document needed
then, and there are very few sections
of it that have not now an important
bearing upon the issues that will be be
fore the people in the congressional cam
paigu of this year. It was upon that
platform that McKinley was elected pres
ident, and it served as a battlecry in the
greatest fight for sound money and good
government that was ever made in this
country. That platform took a position
on the tariff question which, carried out
by the Dmgley bill, has put the govern
ment's business on a sound basis, and
stepped the monthly deficits in the treas
ury. It declared in no uncertain words
against any debasement of the national
currency, and in favor of a policy that
would maintain inviolate the obligations
of the United States.
It is important just at the present time,
iu view of the disaster to the Maine in
the harbor of Havana, to remember that
the Republican platform of 1 declared
in favor of a strong and dignified foreign
policv, and insisted that it was the duty
of tbe government of the United States
to use its influence and good offices to re
st re peace and give independent to the
I -land of Cuba. This did not mean, and
does not mean, that the Uuited Slates
should go to war with Spain to secure the
independence of the island, but it dues
mean just that sort of a policy which this
administration is seeking to carry out
one that will secure the end desired
without involving the country in serious
and unnecessary complications with auy
other nation. That platform also favored
the continued enlargement of the navy
and a complete system of harbor and sea-
coast defenses, and the work that the
government is now doing in this respect
pro'-es that it is following out the course
then laid down by the representatives of
the Republican party.
That document helped to win one of
the greatest national political battles
ever fought. That platform was strong
and sound in 1SU6; it is strong and sound
in 1-3K. It is still safe to stand on.
Gold Democrats Keet.
The Sound Money Democrats will nom
inate a full State ticket and have candi
dates for Congress in every district in
Pennsylvania. This was decided upon
Friday afternoon at a conference held at
tho Hotel Walton, Philadelphia, at which
were present representatives from 20
Congressional districts. James Denton
Hancock of Venango presided, and
Thos II. Greevy of Blair was secretary.
The following letter from ex-Presideut
Cleveland to A. B. Farquhar of York,
who read it, provoked much enthusiasm:
"Westland, Princeton. N. J., March 1.
My Dear Mr. Farquhar : Your letter
is received, aud I hope most sincerely
that there may be a sound money move
ment in Pennsylvania that will be strong
and useful. I can not account for the ar
rogant confidence of the free silver forces,
except upon the theory that tbey are led
to believe that there is very little aggres
sive effort to be made by their opponents.
It is a very strange thing that tbe appa
rent apathy in many of our sound States
should give plausibility to such a belief.
If any one -believing with us supposes
that free silver can be prevented from
controlling tbe two Houses of the next
Congress without effective organization
and hard work, tbe quicker he abandons
that idea the more useful be will be as a
Sound Money man.
'I :m so earnent in my desire to Fee cur
country blest with safe money and asuit
able financial system, that I am of the
opinion we ought to give patriotic and
consistent support to any plau which in
sures this result, and w hich has the ele
ments that promise its successful advo
cicy. "Yours very truly,
"G ROVER Cl-KVKLASn."
A general discussion followed upon the
present political situation, and it was de
cided to issue an address to the voters of
Pennsylvania through a committee. It
was also decided th'. the emergency in
the State demanded prompt preparations
on tbe part of the Sound Money Demo
crats to hold a State convention at an
early day to nominate candidates for all
the Siato offices to be filled and after
wards to inaugurate au active aud ag
gressive campaign and to devote especial
aOention to election of Congressional can
didates in favor of Sound Money.
An executive committee of 15 was ap
pointed to carry into effect the action of
the conference. It was stated that this
committee will hold a meeting at an early
data to fix a time tor tbe holding of a
Slate convention.
CRISIS NEAR AT JTAXD.
Spain Asks Lee's Recall And Is
Refused.
IJKJ WAR CREDIT ASKED.
President McKinley Firm Stand.
The occurrences of tbe past three days
seem to indicate that the Cuban trouble
m ill eventuate in war between the United
States and Snain. Spain has demanded
the recall of General Fitihugh Lee, our
Consul -General at Havana, and asked
that the supplies which our Government
may see fit to forward to tbe. starving
iubabitar,ts of Cuba be sent on otherthan
war vessels. To both of these demands
or requests President McKinley made a
prompt and firm refusal. On Monday
Comrresa nassed the Senate bill for two
additional artillery regiments to th
standing army, and, after a conference at
the White House with the President and
the chiefs of the various departments.
Chairman Cannon, of the House Approp
riations Committee, introduced a bill ap
propriating $o0,00u,0u0 for the national de
fense. The bill, which will Ukety De
pr. -nptly passed, provides "That there is
hereby appropriated out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise appropriated
for the national defense and for each and
every purpose connected therewith, to be
expended at the discretion of the Presi
dent and to remain available until June
30, ii3, tro,ooo,ooo."
The bill nrobably looks 'to the pur
chase oi ships and war material in Eu
rope.
Evidence multiplies at Havana thit
various persons had been warned of the
Maine's danger before the explosion oc
curred. One merchant's.wife was told
nine days before the horror that she and
her young lady friends had better not go
aboard the battleship, as it was to be
blown np.
A big rope that stretched from the
shore to the Maine will also appear in
evidence when the Court of Inquiry re
turns to Havana.
One high American official who has
been before the probers is quoted as be
ing positive that a mine blew up tbe
Maine.
in explanation of the Government'
warlike preparations it is explained that
an alsolute lack of conclusive evidence
as to how the Maine was biowa np has
necessitated ample arrangements to meet
the worst contingency, even though the
worst is not at all expected.
Washington, D. C, March fi. The
Spanish situation developed two new
phases to-day when it became known
that tbe Spanish Government had for
mally requested the recall of Consul Gen
eral Lee at his post at Havana, to which
request the United States has courteously
but firmly refused to comply; also-that
Spanish Government has suggested the
impropriety of sending relief supplies to
the Cuban reoonoentradoes in the cruiser
Montgomery and gunboat Nashville, to
which suggestion the United States bad
given a like answer in the negative.
The first intimations of these steps came
in a brief and explicit cable dispatch from
Madrid. Prior to its receipt, however,
the authorities here had been fully con
versant with tbe facts, although no inti
mation had been allowed to get to the
public on either subject. The disclosure
from Madrid left no further ground for
reticence in Washington, and, aftr a con
ference at the White House between the
President, Assistant Secretary Day, of the
State Department, and Secretary Long, of
the Navy Department, the following au
thorized statement was handed to tbe As
sociated Press by Judge Day as compri
sing everything that was to be said by
the administration on tbe subject:
M'KIJILK'S'S reply.
The President will not consider the re-
resall of General Lee, He has borne
himself throughout this crisis with judg
ment, fidelity and courage, to the Presi
dent's entire satisfaction. As to the sup
plies for the telief of the Cuban people,
all arrangomentshave been made to carry
a txuisigninent this week from Key West
by one of the naval vessels, whichever
mty be best adapted and most available,
dtMtined to Matanzas aud Sagua.
Although theoflicials here are non-committal
on the subject, it is believed that
he request for General Lee's recall was
made at least a day or two ago, and that
the Spanish Government, after receiving
tbe reply of the State Department, has
not insisted either upon Lee's recall or
upon its contention that the relief sup
plies should not be ssnt to Cuba in naval
vessels.
Will Barry to Sell Liquor.
CHAMBERsm'Rrt, Pa., March 4. Hav
ing leen granted a license to sell liquor.
Morris D. Jacol' next step will be to pro
cure a marriage lieen&e. This is practi
cally the promise he made in Court to
day.
Jacolxs was an applicant for a license
for a hotel at Funkstown. Judge Slew-
art, in disposing of tbe application, said
it was with great reluctance that he grant
ed a license to an unmarried man. Ja
cobs relieved the Court's compunction on
this point by stating that he would get
married at once. The new condition im
posed upon license applicants by the
Court may have a tendency to hasten
several marriages, since a liquor license
has come to be a valuable franchise, and
two or three unmarried aspirants for
privileges of that character are preparing
to file applications next year.
Call It a Xaiaanca.
Getttsbcro, March 5. At the April
term of court Gettysburg borough will
have a test case of tbe ordinance ena ted
some time ago regulating tbe soliciting of
tourists and travelers at tbe sever-I depots
upon tbe arrival of trains by tbe hotel
porters and those engaged in tbe battle
field business as tbe result of four solici
tors being arrested yesterday and given
a hearing before Chief Burgess J. Ed
McCammon for an alleged violation of tbe
ordinance.
Three of them paid the fine imposed
upon them. The ikmrth, however, refused
the payment and gave bail for his appear
ance at tbe next term of court. This has
been a source of great annoyance to the
traveling public, and the authorities,
with the assistance of the railroad offi
cials, have decided to regulate it so far as
possible.
Biagnlarly Sad Saieida.
William Love, a prominent citizen of
Westmoreland county, committed suicide
Monday evening by shooting himself in
the brain. His aged mother was with
him at tbe time, but as she was too feeble
to summon aid she bad to sit and watch
her boy die.
The family, with the exception of Wil
liam and his aged mother left home in
the afternoon to attend a funeral. Ir-e
went to his room about 1 o'clock and a
moment later a bullet crashed through
his brain.
His old mother went to her boy. She
was too feeble to go to tbe home of tbe
distant neighbors to secure aid. There
was nothing left for her to do but make
the young man as comfortable as ale
could and wait. For hours she sat by the
body on the floor, but when help came
life bad departed.
The family found tbe mother sittirg
with her arm around the neck of her
son. She s&id be had been dead t o
hours.
Love was un mar red and aged 31 years.
The cause is attributed to disappointment
in love.

Tbo Kartia Trial.
Following it Sheriff Martin's atory of
tbe Lattitner riot, as told on tu witness
stand :
Friday tn-MT.iiig I reached Drifwm
and found all my deputies there. We
went to a lumber yard, a central point
At I In the afternoon I got a message that
tbe strikers were marching through
Cranbery, bound for Lattiiner. I hur
ried off with the Haislton deputies lo
intercept the meu at West Hizelton.
While going there I repeated my in
struction to the deputies about keep
ing cool and avoiding trouble if possible.
"The mob wore at us when we ap
proached, cursed me and would not
budge when I told them to do so. I read
my proclamation and walked through
them, asking them to go home. One
youug man swore at me violently and
aid they would go to Lattiiner in spiteof
me. I arrested him. One man picked
up a stone, but dropped it when I pointed
my revolver at him.
"I told a crowd of spectators to go home
as the strikers were despente and there
might be trouble. Finally the strikers
left the road and started off over the lots.
Soon I heard they were going to Latlimer
and I hurried off with, my deputies to
intercept them. I told them again to
keep cool and not to shoot anless tbetr
live or mine were in danger. After lin
ing them np alongside the road I told
them I would go out and meet the strik
er and try once mor to disperse thorn.
A deputy asked if he should not go with
me. No, I said, I'll go alone. I thought
one man was enough to die at once. I felt
somehow there was going to be trouble.
I met the strikers ahont fifty yards from
the deputies and asked them where they
were going.
"To stop the Lattimer breaker,' a lot of
them cried.
- "I told them they must not go and tried
to read my proclamation to them, but
they crowded around me, swearing at me
and hustling me to one side. One man
tried to grab me, and I then attempted to
get hold of him, but the crowd then jump
ed on me and pounded me about the body.
I dropped my paper and pulled my revol
ver. One of the men tried to snatch the
revolver from roe, but failed. Tben'he
struck me an awful blow in the face and
knocked me to my knees. I tried to shoot
him but my revolver would not explode.
Then the shooting commenced. It lasted
about half a minute.
"In the crowd I saw three men armed
with revolvers and cne with a knife,
tbe latter made a stab at me but missed.
Two men were shot just behind me to
the left. I was iu the direct line of
fire."
The cross-examination conducted by
Mr. Scarlett lasted for two hojrs and
will be resumed. Whilo many minor
details were brought out nothing was
adduced to affect tbe main story.
Spent Too Unco. Oa Election.
ScrisokielpO., March 4. The Circuit
Court has handed down a judgment to
oust Mayor John M. Good, Democrat,
f ir violation of the Gai field law govern
ing corrupt election practices. This is
the first time in tbe United States that
any mayor has been ousted from office for
spending too much money at election.
Judge Adams, of Zanosville, reported the
finding. The evidence prove 1 that J. S.
Elliot, a member or the Board of Public
Affairs, gave Captain Rudd, of the Bush
nell Guards (colored) SiV; that ex-Mayor
Burnett spent 5 for drinks at Grier's
saloon and S45 at a Red Cross dance for
drinks, and that beer was bought at vari
ous other places. The total of f JS3 was
expended. The office was declared va
cant, to take effect in five days. Tbe
Garfield law was receutly declared con
stitutional by the Supreme Court, au"'
limits the expenses of inouey by a can
didate to f 100 to each five thousand voters.
City Council will appoint a mayor to serve
until the spring election.

h.WLhfi.1 in the land. It is an established
scientific fa-t that men attain the higheM
truial and nhvsi.nl perfection in north
ern lands where frost boll sway. We
am advoreuintr no colonization scheme.
but we merely wish to contradict some oi
tliA m&nv fklse statements about the moat
fertile part of the country, and w hat is
dtined to be one of the richest states in
tha bind. All it wants to make it such is
population. There is plenty of room
there, as North Dakota has tbotisanus oi
acres of the best farming country in tbe
United States, and a gd deal of it can
lie taken up free under the homestead
laws. Pwinle in the east allude to the
deprivations incident to frontier life
among tbe disadvantages. Leaving a
thh'ltlv sittlwl community the home-
seeker on a new prairie has fewer neigh
bors: the school - booses and cnurcnes
may not be as convenient, but there is
no settler on a free homestead in Aortn
Dakota who can not reach a store, poet-
otSce, telegraph-oflice or railway depot
in a drive of a few hours on as good roans
'l the vear as can be found anywhere.
City newspapers re in the post -offices of
North Dakota next day atler puniicanou.
The naDeni from this county reach Dickey
county, N. D.. on Satnrday noon, the
same week of publication. Apples, or-
antros. and all kinds of fruit and products
of every clime are to be had in the town
of North Dakota at about the same price
as in the old states. Tho deprivations of
the home-seeker in North Dakota are not
to be compared with those suffered by the
settlers who went to Illinois, Iowa and
Kansas iu advance of railroads; nor is
there any frontier, a before the day of
railroads. The renter who stays In the
east is depriving himself of the 100 acres
of land by not going to North Dakota.
On a rented farm he works for the other
fellow ; on a homestead he work for him
self, and he enjoys all the profits. Church
going people will not be deprived of reli
gious influences and facilities iu North
Dakota. About all the leading religious
denominations are represented there,
among which are the Methodists, Episco
palians, Presbyterians, Congregationalist
Baptists, Lutherans, German Baptists,
and others. Sunday schools are found in
every community. Union S. S. in almost
every schoolbouse. As to the prices of
what people have to buy in any country,
such as dry goods, groceries, hardware,
footwear, clothing, machinery, etc, they
are fully as low as in the older states.
Comparatively speaking. North Dakota
is better supplied with stores of all kinds,
than many older states. As to fuel, no
one need worry, although no timber is
growing on tho plains, except what is be
ing planted and cared for as other farm
products, yet wood for fuel is plenty, as is
coal also, both native and from Ohio and
Pennsylvania. There is plenty of native
coal for all purposes, yet foreign coal has
the swing. '

K0THIKO SLOW ABOUT THIS.
An Intereeting Fct Brought to Light By
tbe Xaine Sitaiter.
The Maine catastrophe has brought to
light some interesting facts concerning
tbe means employed by a great newspa
per to meet the demand of tbe public for
quick, full and accurate information con
cerning that disaster. Although receiv
ing the complete report of the news
gathering oagauizations, "The Philadel
phia Press" is also giving exclusively to
its readers daily despatches from tbe most
brilliant corps of special correspondents
and artists ever massed on a single piece
of news. This includes Ralph D. Paine,
Julian Hawthorne, Carl Decker, Sylves
ter Seovel and Louis Ruyl at Uavanaand
Key West ; E. J. Gibson and bis assist
ants at Washington ; Julian R tlpb, at
London, and equally well informed rep
resentatives at the other points at which
news is likely to be obtained. It is some
times said that Philadelphia is "slow,"
but there is nothiug slow in the enter
prise which enables "The Philadelphia
Tress" to set up the claim that it is lead
ing all theother newspapers in the coun
try iu the promptuess aud reliability of
its news about the Maine, and that it is the
ouly newspaper which cominiii l-i the
services of ail tbe writer a iJ artists
named.
