"Old Somerset Warrior Well Pleas

cle, from which the following para

those whotiave kept track of hia many
political vagaries, but it will be a keen
disappointment to the bulk of those
who contributed their votes to his elec

one mouth of his election he would be
forming a political alliance with Mr.

boss of the State, they would scarcely
have honored him with their votes.

Ballot Beform.
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.

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. With such a ballot law we
would very nearly approach bonest elec
tions. Philadelphia Time.

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

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

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.

Supreme Court Elocks tlie Game of

Conspirators.
CONFUSION IN THE BANKS.
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.

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

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

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

political plot; that It was instigated by

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

Quay, should lend himself io tae pros

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

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.

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.

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- !

Exposing a Triek.
To the Editor of tbe Herald.
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

Hswaii to be a Territory.
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."
