Whkx Democratic State Chairman
iiarnian declares that 74 Democratic
memliers of tlie House are ready to
unite with 'JM Ifrpuhlican memU-rs to
organize the next House of Represent
atives be is talking through his bat, as
usual, says the Harrisburg Telegraph.
The seventy-four meniterof the House
c!assifi"d as Democrats will not all vote
fir a fusion candidate, as was very evi
dent in this pity this week, when nnly
twenty-threeof the seventy-four put in
an appearance at thesllegtd conference
held in the Supreme Court room. The
other two thirds of the inemlierson the
Democratic side of the House stayed
away from the conference, and made
light of it. And as for twenty-nine of
the Republicans voting for a fusion can
didate that isallliosh. The man who
makes uoh a declaration simply does
not know what he is talking alsout, and
the people know that. The U -publicans
will organize the next House and
the Democrats and independents will
not even have a look in.
Mr. IJryas no sooner finds himself
in a talking suit of clothes than he
avails himself of a highly valued priv
ilege. His remarks on expansion are
not as free from contradiction aa might
lie desired, but this is characteristic of
Democratic remarks on the subject.
Mr. Bryan does not advise a fight
against the treaty. He would vote for
it, $33,000.iUO and all, and then man
age to retire from the Philippines on
some sort of conditions, retaining only
a coaling rtatiou. He would turn evi n
Porto Iiici into a republic if the inhab
itants insisted on it. He desires it to
lie understood that this country can
never, without self-destruction, hold
territory on a colonial tenure. It may
well be asked how Mr. Bryan, with
audi convictions, can be willing to al
low the treaty to go through. The best
time to nip national and constitutional
ruin is in the bud. The treaty is an ex
pansion document. But when brought
'face to face with a practical question
the Democratic plan fropiently is to
fall lack to another line of works. Mr.
Bryan knows that if he oppond the
treaty he would be a used-up mlilician.

Koontz speaker, Col. J. M. (Jufl'ey,
the Democratic Imss of the State,
speaks of the minority uieniliers of
the next House as bis property, and
pledges himself to hand them bound
and gagged to Wanamaker wheuevt r
the bargain counter statesman can pro
duce 29 independents, the requisite
number to consummate the dial. Boss
Ciuffey says :
I see no insurmountable obstacles to
a fusion organization of the House. I
have undertaken to supply 74 Demo
oratie votes the full IK-nioeratie nieta
liership and I am advised that the in
dependent Republicans can produce the
.!0 necessary to a majority. That they
can do so appears entirely practicable,
and it is my opinion that they will
make good this promis. Where the
itt indeiendent votes are to come from
that is, the names of the men is some
thing about which I have not bine to
iy. It is the duty of the tarty of the
eiond part. My responsibPitr rests in
liolding the Democratic vote as a unit
for fusion purposes, and I have not ask
ed the independents to file a bill of par
ticulars. I have their word, and that
is sufficient.
It Is now up to Wanny and Koontz.
Gut fry baa bis 74 Democrats in band.
Tltey are ready to vote for Koontz.
Nov let Wanny and Kooutz product
their 29 votes from the Republican
ranks if they can. We venture the
irediction that they can rot produce
three, including Koontz' e oan vote
We arc assured that he can not get the
vote of a Republican n ember from this
Congressional or Senatorial district.
As a fusion candidate Koontz can not
command the support of bis colleague
from his own county who is a Repub
lican, and does not measure his politics
with a yardstick. A pretty spectacle.
Representative Koontz elected as a
Republican the Democratic candidate
for Speaker, and wholly without Re
publican aupport.

Harrlsborc Tel-in'h.
A handful of Democratic members of

etitire game is very thiti o tbin, in fact,
that it is not f Kiling anybody. The other
two-ibirds of the Democratic members of

for they kuow very well that fusiou can
never lie accompl'sbed at the next ses

The Philadelphia I'rtwx of yesterday

heading it "lien. Koontz at Home;
How a Leading Legislator is Regarded

very laudatory. As Gen. Koontz is gen

putting' some money into the plant to lo

if the .st'tml.ird didn't "stick up" for

As to Faaioa.
I'niontown News-Standard.
The "reformers" ho tried to hand the
governorship of Pennsylvania overto the
Democrats at the recent election now have
another scheme which promise to be
equally1 successful. H i to organize the
lower House of tha legislature on the fu
sion bsis. The Democrat and anti (i-isy
members are to elect Gen. K'sintz of Som
erset Speaker and parcel out the offices
and tho coinmitteechairmanships among
themselves. Col. Guffey agrees to deliver
the 7.i Democrats in a body to this fusion
plan and the Juy haters on the Repub
lican side ars to lutuish the 2S additional
votes netdiMl to control the electiou of
Sjieaker.
If tpiay should undertake to deliver 75
Kpubii Mil members to a given program
it wruld be denounce J as insufferable
bossism, but when Guffey agrees to deliv
er ". Democratic members it is pure and
lofty reform.
There will lie no fusion organiztion
nf the legislature. Both branches are
strongly Republican and Republicans
will orgauize them in the regular and
usual way. The Democrats and a few dis
organizing Republicans need not worry
themselves about any responsibility for
the conduct of the coming session. That
charge has been entrusted by the people
to the Republican party, and that party is
fully competent fjr the trust.
The Leg'.slature will be promptly or
ganized by the Republieaus, and the ses
sion will be short and business like.
The Quay Protecatioa.
Kroin Lie Lincaater Inquirer.
Senstor Quay would have shown neith
er self-respect nor maliscs bad be sub
mitted to be tried by bis accusers with all
the machinery of the law in the bands of
his bitter and malicious enemies. He bas
sbown both by promptly taking it out of
their hands, and placing it where he has
a chance for a fair trial and will not be
lynched under the forms of law.
District Attorney Graham whose hatred
of ((nay amounts to a mania, would have
pratica!!y ontrolled the selection of a
jury which would have lieen packed with
(juay's enemies. Judge Fin letter bad al
ready given evidence that he would de
cide, when there was any possibility of
do ng s-, agiinst the aecused. Under
these circumstance it would have been
midsummer madness for the Senator to
have walked into the trap his euemies
hail prepared for him.
Tossy under such circumstances that he
seeks to avoid a trial is simply a bold per
version of the truth. He seeks a fair
trial, a thing his enemies never intended
be should have. W'a Jj uoi ooliove lint
in the history of this country there was
ever a more malignant persecution of any
public man. If Ibis trial is not as speedy
as could be desired, his enemies are to
blame for it ; they could have brought the
accusation months ago.

'It is an uncommon pleasure to be thus

Sectional lines no longer mar the map

our brav. men fell on the field o sicken

and others, returning, brought wounds
and diseases from which they will long
suffer! The memory of the dead will be a
precious legacy, and the disabled will be
the natiou's care.
A nation which cares for its disabled
soldiers as we have always done will
never lack defenders. The national cem

proof that the dead as well as the liviug
hive our love. What an array of silent
sentinels we have, and with what loving
care their graves are kept!
Kvery soldier's grave made during our

While, when those graves were made,
we differed widely almut the future of

Wasjiixotox, D. C Dec 15. Presi
dent McKiuley's statement at Atlanta
that the time bad come when the nation
should care for the Confederate as well
as for tbe Union dead, met with practi

Congress said that it would do more than
any other one tbiag to wipe out tbe last
traces of sectional feeling, and that it
would make Presideut McKinley the
most popular man in the country.
Tbe Republicans generally echoed these
eentii-ents, and agreed that whatever
legislation was necessary to carry out
the President's suggestion ought to be
enacted. If this is done, it is suggested
by Sou. homers that tbe Confederate Me

Mamla, December 1(5, Regarding the
possibility or international complications.
Rear Admiral Dewey aid to d.iy "Piior
to the arrival of the monitors I felt in
easy, but now I am lea iy to hold this po
sition against the whole earth." .
To the suggestion that if the natives
prove to lie obstreperous, perhaps I hey
might 1 banded over to tbe Germans or
other ungentle land giablien, the Admi
ral said he believed tbe Germans now
have entirely abandoned their designs in
tbe Philippine Islands, though formerly,
he said, the German altitude beie had
caused hiui indescribable anxiety.
The Admiral is greatly interested in
tbe movement among the American vol
unteers to obtain their discharges here
and engage in pioneering enterprises. He
believes there is a practically unlimited
field fir planters, fanners and miners
here.
Admiral Dewey was strongly convince d
that the Filipino insurgents deserve ac
knowledgement He is a believer In the
practicability of liberal measures iu tbe
direction of local autonomy.
According to recent inforintiion receiv
ed here, tbe Filipino insurgeuts are en
deavoring to maintain a brave show for
the purpose cf securing the best terms
postible from the Americans. It is the
opinion of our Admiral that it would be
advisable for tbe United States to pay
the insurgent troops their arrears of
wages. Th whole amount would lie a
comparatively trifling sum, and the pay
ment of the troops would have a valua
ble effect, and might save incalculable
trouble.
Admiral Dewey always believed that
tbe Insurgents were friendly, especially
since the war-ships of our fleet have vis
ited tbe different ports of these islands,
and since some of our officer have made
tours inland, carefully investigating pop
ular sen.bnent, end judiciously preach
ing thd gospel of peaceful settlement
every a here with highly satisfactory res
nits. A few influential Filipinos, in an em
bitioiis attempt at self advancement, are
clamoring for independence, though un
able to realize its true weaning. They
are utterly ignorant of the difference be
tween the name and the reality.
Tbe agitators here invarisiHy admit
t iat they would le unable to stand with
out American protection. Hut, in spite
of this, they continue their meaningKss
outcry for independence, and may possi
bly create trouble.
Tbe Admiral, however, believes this to
be improbable at the present j.incture,
t.iongh every trifling incident counts.
However, every day that passes without
a conflict means so much gain, bcmuse
the friendly feeling is steadily increasing,
the iucipient roughness is disappearing,
and tbe agitators are weakening.

A Great Bntineis Year.
New York. Dec 17. R G. Dun A
Ca's weekly review of trade says : "De
cern tier is addiog a surprising close to the
most surprising yearof American history.
November had surpassed all other months
of the century in volume of business and
production, and thus far D-icember is dt
ing even better in payments through clear
ing bouses, in railroad earnings, in for
eign trade, in output cf pig iron, and in
activity and strength of securities. Bat
tbit is saying a great deal, for in all these
and other tests November was far the
best mouth of A'nerican financial his
tjry. Rradstreet's says : "Likening tbe gen
eral business of the country to that of a
water course, it may be authoriatively
slated that nearly all the channel of sea
sonable trade are at the present time run
eing full, and in some Hues of business
the stream is virtually out of the banks.
This is particularly tbe case in iron and
steel, where production and consumptive
demand are alike going on at an unpre
j ted rate, at a time, too. when it is
usual to look for quietness and even dull
ness in this industry.
"Nothing like the present activity in
this branch of trade has been seen for
many years past if. indeed, it bas ever
been equaled. Advices from all the lead
ing centers of iron, production are of an
exceptionally eager dem ind forth" crude
ud manufactured products and of ad
vancing prices, the only anxiety express
ed being that by buyers desiring early
deliveries. ,
"Probably never before in the country's
history has it been possible for an Amer
ican steel company to refuse a profitable
order for rails for foreign account on the
plea that its mills were already fully oc
cupied so far ahead as to prec'ude its
trying for the business. Tbe prices for
pig iron, steel billets, soft steel and all
aorta of car material is at its maximum.
Shipbuilding, too, contributes its portion
of activity to the iron trade by its urgent
calls for material.
"In other lines of business tbe situation
as regards prices is a favorable one, nota
bly among the advances reported bring
nearly all tbe cereals, cotton, offee, lum
ber, copper, lead and a variety of other
lerj prominent staples. Following the
slight recession shown in wheat values of
last week, an improved demand for ex
port bis again developed, which is evi
dence of tbe fact that storiesof keen com

been in re or less disc Hinted, the United
Sutes rsmtining, as for some tiiu past,

It discharged a great deal and tbe pain
from my thigh down was maddening.
Large, hard, purple apota appeared on my
leg. I suffered in this way for years,
and gave np all hope of ever being cured.
My wife was reading of a case like mine
cured by Hood's Saraaparilla, and she
advised m to try it. I began taking it
and when I had nsed a few bottles I
found relief from my suffering. Oh,
how thankful I an for this relief 1 I am
atronger than I have ever been in my life.
I am in the best of health, have a good
appetite and am a new man altogether."

Law of Kotei for Kansas.
Topeka, Kan., December 15. C. W
Walters, Populist, a member of the Kan
sas House, declares that if an extra ses
sion of the Legislature is called be wil
again seek to have the Ten Command
meats added to tbe law of Kansas.
Walters is a well to-do farmer of forty,
residing in Labette county. He is deep
religous. In 17 he became imhtel
with tbe idea of having the affairs of the
State managed on tbe principles laic
d iwn by Moses, and made his campaign
on that platform.
The people of his district laughed a
bis Bible theory, but elected bint biarus
his opponent was unpopular. Waller
came to Topeka with his bill of ten sec
lions, each section a Com-nindineiit, and
made strenuous elf irts to h ive tbe Legis
lature regard him seriously.
His bill was introduced and referred te
the Committee on Public It tads. Tni
hurt Walter's feelings, but he went V
work with a will to have tbe cimmittct
give the measure favorable consideration
The committee never reported on the bill,
aud Walters went home believing the
Legislature was past redemption.
