No less a stitesmm than Dtniel Webster put himself on recor.l in op position to the annexation of the West in these words: "What do we want of this vast, worthless area, this region of savages aud wild beasts, of d.-seris, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of d 1st. cactus aud prairie dogs?

"Old Somerset Warrior Well Pleas ed with Prospect'' is one of the many flaming headlines under hich an arti cle, from which the following para graph is taken, appeared in Thursday's Pittsburg Post, the leading Democratic organ of the State : After holding sevtral conferences with the t-turdy old figtiter, J.

Th"re is next to a nniversal demand for honest, practical ballot rform, and the next Legislature will fail in one of its i-loarest duties to the people if our present complicated ballot system hhall not le simplitied on the precise lines of the orig inal Austrslian ballot law. The Inquirer has hid an elaborate edit orial on iba tut j--t preon'ing tH neces sity for it in convincing term, and itsug what should be the proper fenu of ir taHot. Taking tha candidates fr Governor at the late election to illustrate it, the bead of the ticket would have been as follows: GOVERNOR. (Mark One.) WM. A- ST INK, It-publican. GF.ORUE A.

MAKLOS B VRXES.Socialist Labor With such a ballot law there would be no complication whatever in citizens vot ing for any particular candidate they pre ferred, and it would summon the careful consi deration of every intelligent citizen when he came to choose for whom he should vote. No party ticket would be before him, but he could select from all the candidates for each olfise the one he preferred to mark as his choice. Kven those w ho do not understand the language could vote it, because thny could make out the party name after the name of the candidate for which they desired to vote. Iu additiou to thus simplifying the bal lot, (here are two additional amendments to our prxeiit ballot law which are very greatly ueeded. One should authorize the courts in computing the returns o open any election box on petition of ten or more qualified electors of the preciuct al leging fraud. This would not in auy way impair the secrecy of the ballot, as the number of each ticket is pasted over, and can not le seon. There is no reason w bat ever why. any sanctity should attach to the ballot box under our present system, as the name of the voter who casts the ticket eau not be ascertained, and the courts should be not only free, but they should b required, to open ballot boxes whenever there is a reasonable allegation of a false return. The othwr important amendment to the election law should require each taxpayer to pay Lis owu taxes in person and obtain his reeipt. This would end all the de bauchery that has become inseparable from our present poll-tax system. A man who will not take the trouble to psy twe-v ty-Gve cuits a year for the privilege ot voting fur all offices from President down to Constable should not bo permitted to exercise the right of suffrage. He not only does not deserve it, but be is unfit ted for it for want of interest in the free institutions committed to his care. Let our ballot system be amended, first by simplifying the ticket acoording to the original Australian law; next by requir ing the ballot bix to beopeued when nec essary to sscertain fraud, and finally to require every citizen to qualify himself as ao elector.

KaCF TEE ATT SIGIED. The Fiasl Aot Occurred ia ?ri Batardiy . Eitnicg. i Paris December 1L The American and Spanish oimmls-iooers ignel the treaty of peace at ft.10 o'clock last night. ! It coofcits of 17 articles, it being found advisable to subdivide two or three of the articles agreed upon at the last pre- j ceding session. The Americans were at tired in evening drts when they entered the chamber of the foreign olHce, where all the meeting have occurred, as tbey were to attead a dinner given by Due de Lou bat, w hi! e the Spaniards wore black froelt coats. Montero Rioe, president of the Spanish commission, was bundled iu a huge overcoat, for bo had just risen from a sick bed. The interpreter, Arthur Ferguson, read first the English and then the Spanish version of the treaty. Two copies were then passed around the table, the commissioners feigning them in the order of their rank: William R. Day, Senator Cushman K. Davis, Senator Wil liam P. Frye, Whitelaur Reid and Sena tor George Gray ; Senor Montero Rios, Hsnor Abarzuzu, Senor Garnica, Senor Viilaurutiaand Gen. Cerero y Saons, each commission siguing its opponent's treaty. Both were tied with the Spanish and American colors. When the seals were prepared to be affixed, attendants were seut scurrying for riblsms of the French tri color, with which the documents were sealed as a compliment to the French hosts of the oomiu issions. The last seal being impressed, the com missioners rose, and, without formality, each member shook the hands of all bis antagonists and exchanged assurances of sincere personal esteem. The Span iards afterward commented acridly upon w hat tbey termed the bad taste of the Americans in mustering a crowd of at taches to gloat over the consummation of their downfall and to scramble for relies. The United States peace commissioners rested to-day. They Unofficially inform ed the Spauiards that they would be glad to have the two commissions dine togeth er. The reply, which, like the invitation, was conveyed diplomatically through a third party, was that the Spaniards would be most pleased, but feared it would be inadvisable, because it might be miscon strued at Madrid, where already much feeling existed against the commission ers. Several members of the United States commission were inclined to publish the text of the treaty, but Senator Frye made a strong plea yesterd ly for the observ ance of courtesy toward the United States Senate, and bis argifmouts prevailed. Further details have been learned as to the wording of the treaty, w hich provide that Cuba is to be relinquished and that Porto Rico and the Philippines are to be ceded. The Americans are to pay for the repatriation of the Spanish troops from all the colonies. The Spaniards are to re turn all prisoners held by them. Tbey are to retain possession of all military stores and munitions of war in the Phil ippines and of such ships as have not len captured. The commercial treaties between the two nations, which the war ruptured, are to be renewed at the con venience of the two nations. The proto col makes nearly 600 typewritten pages. The Uuiled States commissioners 1-ave been overwhelmed with otrLrs of din ners iu England, prompted by the de sire of prominent Englishmen to empha size the Anglo-American entente, but they will remain in Paris until the day before sailing for the United States. They will make fr.rmal calls opju President Faure and hith ofiicials here, to thank them for official hospitality. Unofficial hospitality i) t'i" United States iimmis sioners has been ostentatiously lacking in Paiis. Will B a Hard Taik. Washix.jtox, Dec 12. The Quarter master's Department of the Army now called upon to face the very formidable task of transporting from the Philippines all of the Spanish soldiers who constitute the garrisons of .he islands. There are about l.),oilof these, according to the best information possessed by the War Depart ment. All of the government transports in serviceable condition are required for the movement of the United States army, so the War Department will be obliged to invite proposals from transportation com panies to carry the men. The officials, from the Secretary down, have been so thoroughly convinced of the wisdom ol the policy tbey pursued in the transporta tion of the Santiago prisoners that they are disposed to repeat the experiment, if suitable terms can be made. In that case the Spanish Trans Atlantic Company, a government-aided trans-Atlantic line was awarded the contract for carrying the troops to Spain. Though this at the time caused some criticism by friends of Amer ican lines, it soon became manifest that the War Department had relieved itself of an enormous responsibility. Placing the sick and unhealthy Spanish soldiers in the hands of their own people. It avoid ed any charge of ill-treatment of the men that almost certainly would have been made when the ships came into the Spanish home ports wirb the large num ber of dead and dying men itboard. To carry the Santiago soldiers home cost $.'13,S.'j0, and it is scarcely to be ex peeled that the Philippine service can be rendered for much less than double that snm, owing to the great distance of trans Donation. Who Xixed the Paint. Inquiries have beeu received by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad compbny concerning the man w ho painted a sta tion sign at Harper's Ferry. The Wes tern Society of Engineers has the sicn now on exhibition in its rooms in Chi cago. The engineers are using every effort to ascertain who mixed the paint and ap plied it to the sign which was placed in position at Harper's Firry station about thirty years ago. The summer heat and winter storms have in no way dimmed the lustre of the paint used to make the words "Harper's Ferry." The words stand out as boldly as the day they were formed by tte artist's brush. The wood around the letters bas been worn about one-sixteenth of an iuc1- by sand beating against it by fierce winds, but the letters have w ithstood the ele ments. ' It is claimed that no paint manufactur ed nowadays is equal ia durability to that which was applied to the old sign, and if the person who mixed it is living and will take advantage of the secret be possesses to iu composition, it is said he can, by engaging in the paint manufact uring business, soon accumulate wealth.

Sensational Turn to One of the Most Remarkable Cae In the Political nistory of the Nation. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Dec. 15. At last the true character of the political conspir acy behind the attempt to defeat Sen ator Quay for re- lection by the most infamous and deperate tactics resorted to In the history of this country has been exposed. The supreme court of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania has upon petition stepped in between Sen ator Quay and those who have been endeavoring to use the power of the local Judiciary in this city to strike at him, besmirch his reputation and to gain political advantage in the pending contest for the senatorrhip. There is every reason to believe that a fair . nd Impartial hearing, without personal spleen or political persecution, will now be given t" a case which has furnished a startling revelation to the people as to what extent men vested with au thority would use their positions to accomplish personal ambitions or sat isfy a desire for revenge. Probably no more lucid and manly comment has been made on the action of the supreme court, upon the appeal of counsel for Senator Quay that the case against him be withdrawn from the common pleas courts of this city, than -was given by the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer immediately fol lowing the announcement of the de cision of the hieher court. "Two justices of the supreme court." said the editor of The Inquirer, '"have baited the conspiracy to ruin Senator Quny. crd tht-ir action will be com mended by all fair minded men. They have taken into consideration the ani mus trthind the persecution we de liberately pay t-ersecution, not prosecu tionand they have agreed that the ca?e is cf KUfT.cient Importance to be reviewed by the supreme court Itself. "This mans that the warrants issued by the disti-l-t attorney, the finding ot the trrand jury and the arguments upon the den'urrr-rs will be passed upon by the hlghoFt court in the state: that the trial will.be tskrn out of the hand of the local courts, if the petition filed Is sustained, and thr-t n senator of the United Ftates Is not to tie made the mere footbail of a far reaching political conspiracy which has In view, not his conviction for conviction Is out of the question nut, to quote the reasons of ficially sfl forth, 'the in lmidation of the members of the legislature.' "The object of the persecution ia to defeat Senator Quay for re-election, not to send him to Jail, for he has commit ted no crime, and none know this better than the siieaklng persecutors who have instigated the suit and who have Filch a poor opinion of themselves and of their hypocritical cause that they dare not face the public, the courts or Senator Quay himself, and dare not even permit their names to become known. "A more contemptible attempt to ruin a man for purely political reasons and to eatisfy the demands of personal spite and hatred is not on record. The men who have soueht to make use of District Attorney Graham as their tool and their shield from public scorn and derision have been frustrated. Mr. Graham himself, with all his venom against Quay, disappears from the case. Cn the Tth of January the supreme court will assume jurisdiction, and this means that there will be a fair trial, and with a fair trial Senator Quay has nothing to fear absolutely nothing. "What has Quay done?" he continues. "Let us draw a comparison between him and that great and pure and hon orable man, John Wai.amaker. "The Keystone National bank receiv ed deposits of public funds from the state and the city. Mr. Wanamaker was a depositor, as he bad a perfect riKht to be. Mr. Wanamaker was also a heavy borrower, so heavy a borrow er, as a matter of fact, that the comp troller of the currency at Washington wrote several letters demanding that the loans be reduced. The capital of the bank was tIOO.000. and under the law Mr. Wanamaker was entlilid to borrow one-tenth of the capita! stk. and no more J50.0O0. He very largely exceeded this amount, and he was a public offi cial, a member of the cabinet of the president of the Cnited States, at the time, and most certainly should have been among the first to uphold the law. "But this was not all. Mr. Wana maker entered into a Joint transaction with the president of the bank. Mr. Lucas, for a stock gambling specula tion. Later the bank failed, and it was a disastrous failure. Now. no one has charged Mr. Wanamaker with crime. He has not been hauled Into court by political enemies. He has been permit ted to conduct his bargain counter un molested. He has posed as the great exemplar of all that Is pure and good, and he has posed before the public as an honorable man. We have no charges to bring against Mr. Wanamaker. He did not rob the bank. Let us take him at his own estimate of himself. Let us agree with him that he Is an honorab'.e man. ".Now for the comparison. "The People's bank received deposits of public funds. Senator Quay was a depositor, as he had a perfect right to be. lre may have lorrowed at times, but he was not a heavy borrower, and the banking department was never forced to write letters of complaint. As a private citizen and public ottii ial he respected the law. He bought stocks, hut not in a Joint arrangement w 1th the president. He simply made use of the cashier, an old personal friend, as a medium of communication with the brokers. The bank failed, but Senator Quay does not owe It a single red ccn. What Is more, the bank paid In full every dollar deposited by the stat, and not a single, solitary depositor has lost a dollar. Yet he has leen charged with crime. Political enemies have hauled him into court, and ho is denounced by his persecutors as the pci Bonification of all that is evil. We say that it is out rageous, and we look to the trial to re veal to the public the whole story of c dastardly political . mspiracy. "Judge Cordon, who was reversed time after time by the sfcpreme court, and who was a politician rather than a Judge, is mentioned in the petition to the supreme court r.s an Instigator of the prcseeuilc.n. The trial should show the truth or falsity of this statement. Judsre Gordon was a candidate for the nomination for governor, with the In dorsement and barking of John Wan amaker. The Wanamaker bargain counter statesmanship was agreeable to the attempt to deliver Pennsylva nia over to the Democrats in this crit ical year of the nation. Judse Gordon knew all about the affairs of the Peo ple's bank. It is believed that he had access to the rapers and letters upon which the prosecution ts based, anj that this fact will be proved. The bank failed In March. If Judge Gordon reaily believed that crime had been committed It was his boundn duty to call the attention of the district at torney to the matter. He did no such thing. Mr. Graham was kept in Ignor ance of bank matters, and It was not until October, Just before the election, that some person who have not had the courage to reveal their Identity communicated with the district attor ney. The latter apparently grasped at the opportunity to further the scheme to destroy Quay, and the warrants wer Issued. The district attorney went before the grand Jury. So flimsy wre the charges that. In spite of Mr. Graham's presence, but 12 out of 20 jurors could be obtained to support them. Th change of a single Juror would hsve discarded the bills. It was apparently the intention of Judtre Gor don to rll upon the bench and rule upon the demurrers. Had he done so he would. In all probability, hare been humiliated by the supreme court. He rt signed, and just In time. Had he re mained on the bench, as sure aa the sun rises he w tfd fve he?n Impeach ed. "It la rharrol in the .j-eMMnn that Gordon hnld CVsy r-s;v-rs;!.:e f.ir his a-foat by the IV nvera"ic guberr.-.tnrU! convention, and thai his ani-tiU' is thus accounted r r. We 1m ve n. thing to say on that inlnt, but we dJ say that it I cu's-r inc'e-Ti that a judge hould permit six months to pass before callinir ettn:i. n to a crime. F.ithe the jud;re was untru to himself and to the public, or else no crime was committed. Strange It Is. indeed, that not until October was any move made, and this fact alone is sufficient to show the political plot behind the prosecu tion. "We make no charges against any body. We are ci ntent to say -..hat the prosecution ia persecution; thai: it Is a political plot; that It was instigated by jnen who dare not reveal thir Identity; that the sole object is to afreet the sen atorial election, and that personal spl'e and malice and a desire for personal revenge are the scle motives for the most nutraous political conspiracy cf j modern r'ays. That the district a.tor ' r.ey, with all Us known venom against Quay, should lend himself io tae pros ecution is beyond comprehension. He ITo has nas t L " 11 v- - beVn eliminated from the case. In the furtherance cf justice. "The supreme court Justices who have penetrated the hypocritical and politi cal surroundings at this case are to b? commended for their sagacity. They have declared by their decision tha: Personal spleen and spite shall not pre vail. They have made it possible for strict Justice to be vindicated, end we are greatly mistaken if. as a result of this dastardly persecution, the mask of hypocrisy is not torn from the faces of the political conspirators, and public contempt will not be the lot of those who, to satiate a greedy appetite for revenge, would bring reproach upon the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and upr.n the hli;h and honorable office of Cnited Slates wiator" GX5EHAL GAECIA PASSES AWAY. Tae Cuban Commander Died ia Watkiagton. WASHi.Noro.v, Decern tier 11. Gen. Cal ixto Gaicla, the Cuban warrior and head of the commission elected by the Cuban a-weinbly to visit this country, died here this morning shortly after 10 o'clock at tho Hotel Raleigh. The sudden change from the warm climate of Cuba, with the hardships be had there endured, to the wintry weather of New York and Wash ington is resjsonsible for the pneumonia which Killed him. He contracted a slight cold in New York, which did not assume an alarming etxge until the early part of last week. Ou Tuday night General Garcia, in company with the other mem bnrs of the commission, attended a din ner given in his honor by General Miles, and it was a result of the exposure that night which culminated in his death. During the twelve hours or more preced ing dissolution General Garcia was un conscious most of the time. At intervals he recognized c ue or more of those about him. In bis dying moments his thoughts were for bis beloved country and its peo ple, and among his last words were i: ra tional muttering in which be gave orders tt his son, who is on his staff, for the bat tle which he supposed was to occur to morrow, ami in which ho understood there weroii!y Spaniards to combat. Jimt before he died he embraced his 6on. General Garcia left a large family, one of whom. Jus to, a captain on his stair, wa it U him when he died. His widow and Mercedes, a daughter, lTyearsof sg, a-e at Thomasville, Ga., where the girl is quit ill; Mario, a son, 19 years of age, is with the mother at Thomasville, and Car los Garcia, another son, is in Cuba. A daughter, Leonora, who married an Am erican, is now living in Paris. General Garcia's mother is still alive and resides in Havana. General Garcia bad a most active and varied life, much of which wax s; . lit in fishting for the cause of Cuban liberty, which he had the satisfaction of seeing accomplished so short a time before bis de tth. Ue was a man cf culture and re finement, of splendid education, and came from a distinguished family. Garcia was the original conspiritnr in the uprising against Spain la 1XX, and conducted several successful campaigns. In IH7.r, while reonnnoitering w ith bis e-eort, he was surrounded by 2,000 Span iards. Preferring death to capture and subsequent execution at the bands of the enemy, he attempted suicide by placing his revolver under bis chin and tiring. The bullet came out between his eye brjws. For months he lay between life and death, but was saved finally ty Spanish Surgeons. The Spaniards, be lieving be was about to die, gave him a pardon. The hole which the bullet made was always visible and shows plainly in the calmness of death. He was sent to Spain where be was held prisoner for four years. He led a second revolution in Cuba in lssx) when he was ngaia banished to Spain. He re turned to the Cnited States in lslM and endeavored to get an expedition to Cuba. After declaration of war between the United States and Spain, Gen. Miles, com m tnding the American army, sent his representative to Gen. Garcia, and subse quently the American and Cuban gen erals oxipertted in their movement against Santiago. AU the officers who participated in the active work around Santiago bear testimony to the great aid, assistance and loyalty manifested by Gen. Garcia duriug the campaign. When the Cuban assembly met at the close of the war Gen. Garcia was one of the prin cipal advisers, and was elected chairman of the commission directed to come to the Cnited States and confer with the author ities here with reference to the work in hand. Woman Gave Battle to Bruin. Milkord, Pa., Decemler 9 Single handed and without fire-arms plucky Mrs. John She.lfer, living nesr Mill Rift, Pike county, killed a 200-ponnd bear, which invaded her premises in au at tompt to carry ofT a pet goat. She was hanging out clothes in the yard wht n she was startled by deep grunts and growls close at hand, and, turning, saw a bear vrambling over the fence. With a shriek she dropped the clothes and fled for the house. Bruiiilungnd forward for the goat, but before he could reach it he was assailed by a dog, and a battle royal began. The dog cauzht the bear by the throat and clung fast, all the while managing to keep out of the latter'a embrace, which would have been fatal. Mrs. Shcffer watched the eon filet from a window, and then, seeing that the bear was pretty well occupied w ith the dog, gained courage and sallied from the house with an sxe to join H the fray. When the chsnce offered she brought her weapon down on the bear's head, and the sharp blade cut through the skull, making the brute keel over, and a couple more blows dispatched him.

PARTY TfiAlTOHS , BOND TO FAIL Wanamaker's Democratic Fusion Scheme Meets With Gen eral Condemnation. REPUBLICANS AEE LOYAL (Special Correspondence.) Harrlsburg. Dec. 13.-The presence ct tuite a number of members of both branches of the legislature In town.dur Ir.g the last few days, looking for ac commodations at hotels and boarding houses, getting posted as to ths method tf allotment of seats and other matters which the wide awake member or sen ator always wants to know about, re rr.inds us that the opening day for the state legislative mill is near at hami. Contractor A'len P.. Uorke, of Philadel phia, who Is In charge of the construc tion of the new capitol building, is ruAinir the work at a lively pace, anu though he has but a few days left to complete the Job. he promises absolute- lv that vervlhir.K will be in reamness for the oienii2 of the session. Of course, interest continues to center in the caucus for the speakership-of the house of representatives. The Republi cans will undoubtedly dispose of this matter In the caucus in an entirely harmonious manner, and the caucus nominees for speaker and the other of ficers of the house will unquestionably be elected. A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION. The triumphant election of Colonel Stone to the governorship and the big Republican majority in both branches of the legislature insund a Republican administration through and through in both the executive and legislative branches of the state government. There has been no chr.nge In the rltua tion on the sieakership. It is still a free for all race, despite the rumors that this fellow or some other fellow has been slated by the party leadtrs. Voorhees of Philadelphia. D'iss of Dela ware. McClain cf Somerset, Farr of Lackawanna and Marshall, Ford and Hosack of Allegheny are all got their lightning rods up. eaRerly waiting for the prize. The bi-st evidence that there Is to be no friction In the organ ization of the legis'ature. or in the election of the Cnited States senator, Is found In the harmonious relations that exist between the Influential lead ers of the Republican party In the state. Governor-elect Stone bas al ready shown his capacity for leadership In his announced determination to con Fider all elements of the party In mat ters affecting hi administration. The fact that Senator Quay has been In consultation frequently with Senator C. L. Magee, of Pittsburg, and Senator elect David Martin, of Philadelphia, has brought about an unexpected peaceful condition of affairs, in view of past differences. They will all abide by the caucus action on speaker and Cnited States senator, and the Wanamaker- Van Vaiknlverg-niankenburg outfit will have but one thinj to do. take their natural place with the De mocracy. They were cpiHited to Stone for governor, and in every way sought to disrupt the Republican or ganization. They have taken them selves out of the Republican crganira tion and they are everywhere regarded as allit s of the Democracy. The fusion scheme which Is being nursed by the V"anamaker bureau 13 bound to fail. The first step, the call lug of a conference In Philadelphia last week, was a complete fizzle. Repre sentative John H. Fow. author of queer legislation and one of the siickest cus tomers that ever pat In a legislative body. Is working up the Democratic end In conjunction with the Wanama ker campaign, to line the Democratic members up to follow his leadership. The Wanamaker managers could not have made a more unfortunate selec tion. It Is notorious that Fow is al ways looking after Fow's personal In terest, and the old time Democrats have refused to follow his leadership, as they would never know when Fow would be "di Ins business with the other side," In order to be taken care of himself on choice committees which the Republican speaker will have to name. Fow, too. is looked upon as representing the Gordon Democracy, which is an annex of the Wanamaker machine, and the Guff y men positive ly refuse to have anything to do with him politically. REPUBLICANS ARE TOGETHER. Yi'hile the Democrats are at odds, the Republicans are tTgther. with a few exceptions. It has been demon strated that the Democratic machine cannot be delivered over to a Wanama ker candidate for speaker. It Is known, too. that nothing like one-half of the number of Republicans, 23. necessary With all the Democrats being together, to make the 103 votes required for an election for a speaker, can be drummed Into any fusion scheme. The prirc'pal reason for this Is that there In such an Jntense prejudice among Republicans against bolting the party caucus, and particularly agalns. the bolter. The politicians of the pres ent day have not forgotten the famous bolt of ISM and iis results. After all their scheming, the bolters failed to carry out their program, a man in whom thev had no soecial interest was elected Cnited States senator, and he was never any use to any of them. LJcsldcs, their action resulted In the practical ostracism of almost every man among them. Those participating In the belt were almost entirely oblit erated from the field of politics. Of those who took part in this exhibition of party perfidy only two are In public life at the present lime. Upon return ing home their action was repudiated by their w..stltcents and they min forever afterwards barred from partic ipation In pe.rty councl's and in the en joyment of future ht.m.rs at the hands of the organization which they had be trayed. A TRAITOR'S FATE. A more recent and even more strike ng case Is that presented by the polit ical situation la Ohio last year, when desperate, though unsuccessful, ef foit was made to defeat the re-election of Senator Hanna, who, as chairman of the Republican national committee, was largely responsible for the election of President McKlnlcy in 1896. His ex perience In many respects may be lik ened to that of Senator Quay's, who as the field marshal in the campaign of 1SSS. brought victory to the bancer of Republicanism in the election of General Harrison to the presidency, Senator Hanna had to meet the work of a Republican traitor, and he tri umphed in the end. In the Ohio stat-j senate the Republicans had a majority of one. Senator Burke, an antl-Hanna Republican, combined with the Deno. rrata and organized the upper house In their Interest, thus depriving his party cf the power and patronage to which It was Justly entitled. In spite of this fusion Senator Hanna waa elected and returned to the Cnited States senate to tiphold the administration of President McKlnley. while State Senator Burk was from the day of bis trea herv a marked man. not only In his home dls trict. but throughout the entire com monwealth. He has been repudiated not only by his party but by his fellow members of the legal profession. Charges assailing his professional In tegrity have since been made by tho Law association of Columbus, and the matter Is still pending. All Indications are that there will be few Republicans In this state who will attempt to fellow In Burke's footsteps. 1 Republican members of both branches of the legislature will stand loyally by their party colors. There will be a 1 strolghtcut Republican speaker elected who will co-coerate with Govemor frlcet Stone, Senator Quay will be re !c!ed to the Cnited States senate. and the legislature, under conservative ! and wise leadership, will redeem m pledges of the party and make a clean f and economical record, . wtlch will re-' dcund to the credit of the Republican ' rarty and protect the Interests and ati- ! var.ee the welfare cf thecommenwea'tb.

Sir: A correspondent writes -us that the representatives of tbe Calumet Bak ing powder of Chicago, w hose tricks in pretending to test baking powders have so often been exposed, are or have been pursuing the same method in this vi cinity. A cream of tartar powders are the only baking powders ih it are wholesome and proper for use in raising food, it is well to inquire what the Calumet is made of. It is described by the State chemist of lu ll iana aa follows : I have carefully tested the Calumet Baking powder, aud found it to contaiu alum. In the ourrse of the work it was developed that the powder contained phosphates, potash, alum, and lime. "II. A Huston, State Chemist, Indiana." The intelligent housewives of this com munity will hardly care to go for instruc tion upon the subjoct of pure food to an alum baking powder peddler. They will have more respect for the opinion of such an erniuent hygienNt and teacher as Prof. Barker, of the Pnon-ylvaiia University, who aays: "I regard the line of a'.um bak ing powders at highly injurious to the health of the oowm'iuity, and believe that their sale should be forbidden by law." " The d xHors inform us that alum is a poison, and that alum baking powders should be avoided because tbey make the food unwholesome. In someStatcs alum powders are not permitted to be sold un less they are branded to inform people o their true character, while in England the use of alum in bread is forbidden by law. Unfortunately, the alum baking pow ders are sometimes sold by grocers who do not make known their true character to the customer. It is stated by the American Grocer that such powders are never sold for what they are, that tbey always travel uuder false covers ; so that, it may be, the grocer himself in deceived by tbe fradulent claim of the m ami factor er that his product Is a pure cream of tar tar powder. But the grocer w ho permits himself to aid the manufacturer in the distribution of an impure and unwhole some or fradulent article discredit tbe geuuineness of all the g r-U he seiN. The housekeeper makes no mistake who relies upon the Royal Baking Pow der to raise her biscuit, cake, re lis, etc. The Royal is a pure and healthful bak ing powdt p, made of grape cream of tar tar crystals almolutely free from alu n. lime, ammonia, and pbosphaticacid. Its aMt is approved by the highest medical authorities both in this country and Europe. Royal Baki.no Powdkh Co., New York. Try Oraia-0 1 Try Grain-0 !

The President transmitted to congress the report of the Hawaiian oommi.vion, together itb the text of bills drawn l y the commissi. n for the government of the islands as a portion of the UH'e.l States. Three bills are firmulat'xl for the ?on siileratioo of congress. The first and principal one outlines a general plan of government providing for th udands to be a territory of the Uuited States, styled the the Territory of Hawaii. The two other bills deal with subordinate q-tes-tions. Probably the most important portion of the principal bill is sction t, defining citizenship, which provide that "all white persons. Including Portiig'.ies and persons of African descent, and all por sons descended from the Ilaw-r.iiaii race, on either tbe paternal or the maternal side, who were citfz .ns if ths It p ibl.c of Hawaii immediately prior to the trans fer of the sovereignty thereof to tbe United States, are hereby declared to be citizens of the Uuited Stat-s." This provision is regarded by the com missioners as unusually important, and lu explanation they say : "It has been the policy of the govern ment of Hawaii, before and since the ee tablihment of the Republic, to import men under labor contract for a ter a of years, at tbe expiration of which they are to return to the countries from which they came. Those brought in are maluly from China and Japan. Since the act or congress annexing Hawaii was passed, prohibiting Chinese immigration, the Hawaiian sugar planters have seemed to be making unusual offrU In securing the lmportatiin of Japanese la'iorera. fearing trouble and embarrassment on aooountof insufficient labor for tbe care and carrying-on of their sugar planta tion. "The question whether white labor can be profitably utilized in tbe sugar planta tions is yet a problem, bat the planters are preparing to give such labor a trial, and some of them believe It will r e superior to the labor of either China e Japan."
