Who is It that i- rumiiug away from

The senatorial deadlmk remains un
brokeu. and aa yet there is uo visible
increa. in the vote tor Johu Stewart.
Tee President's fcddresse at Boton
have added to his reputation both as a
statesman and as a public speaker.
If this were a year to el2 Congress
men there would be a wild Democratic
bcraiuble in favor of keeping the Phil
ippines. Peknsviaama U not aloue in her
senatorial deadlock. The Legislatures
of Utah, Delaware, Nebraska, and Cal
ifornia are deadlocked, with as little
chance of a e peedy break as in our own
Ht&te.
The Spanish Cortes is now in session,
and ratification of the treaty at the
ether end of the line will soon be ac
complished. The Spanish Republicans
are said to be organizing a campaijm
against Sagasta, but they will not de
feat the treaty.
The announcement of the death of
Benjamin J. Haywood, which occurred
at his home in Hharou Thursday, was
received with universal regret through
out the Stale. He was a good and lov
able man, and his death will be sin
cerely mourned by all who kiiew him.
National Democratic Chairman J.
K. Joues takes exceptions to the state
ment of Uichard Croker, the New York
Tammany chief, regarding the issue of
JtnXi. Croker says free coinage is dead,
and will not figure as an issue next
year. Jones disputes this, and says
free coinage and the Chicago platform
will be the paramount Issue for I'.tXI.
The Democrat of North Carolina
have put through the Legislature a
Constitutional ameudment disfranchis
ing the colared vote, by means of a
property and educational qualification.
Jn order that the bill may not affect
white votes, it excepts all those who
were voters under the suffrage laws in
existence prior to IHjl, or whose ances
tors were voters before the IS to amend
ment went into effect. Oue by one the
old slave States are by law depriving
the colored man of bis right to vote.
The present Senatorial deadlock at
Harrisburg is already the longest drawn
out iu th history of the State, and the
end Is not yet in sight. All needed leg
islation is being neglected, and per
sonal animosities are being engudered
among the members of both H usesthat
are likely to preclude the possibility of
anything of coustqueuce being accom
plished at the present sesVion, which is
Hi re than half over, if the "reforav'
resolution to adjourn is adhered to.
Great Is "reform," aud heavy are the
burdens entailed on tha taxpayers io
its name!
If the Legislature ever succeeds in
electing a United States Senator, about
the next thing it should do would be to
pass the appropriat'on bill and then
adjourn, says the Chambsrshurg Repos
itory. The contest over a successor to
Senator i jay has grown to be so bitter
that very little good can now be ex
pected to ome out of the present ses
ai in. Personal feeling has arisen to
euch an extent that every inun who
did Dot agree with his neighbor will be
a marked object when he presents a
bill. Where it will end no one can
tell. The best thing to do would be to
go borne as soon as an election is ef
fected. Rkpresextative Kooxtz, acting at
the instigation of the Philadelphia
Press, which claims to have discovered
that two Democratic members of the
Legislature have been "approached" in
the interests of the McCarrell bill, la.t
week introduced a resolution asking for
the appoiutmeut of a committee of the
House to investigate the alleged at
tempts at bribery. The resolution,
which has the appearance of being
presented with a view of affecting the
delayed Qiay conspiracy cases, was
adopted, and Monday evening Speaker
Farr named the committer. He side
tracked the mover of the resolution,
and named Representative Kreps, of
Franklin county, as chairman of the
committee. This is another effort at
"reform" that is likely to prove ex
pensive to the taxpayers of the State
without any beneficial results. Inves
tigating committees of this nature, as
a rule, do not investigate.
Aftkr tryin? for weeks to have the
Franklin Republican County Commit
tee indorse the candidacy of Judge
Stewart for United States Senator, ths
friends of the Judge last week succted
d in barely passing a n Iution com
mendatory of him, and which "earn
estly requested'' Representatives Brit
ton and Kreps to vote for him for Uni
ted States Senator. The committee is
made up of forty -two members, .and
special effort was made to have present
all of the anti-Q lay men. The resolu
tion received eighteen vTes. There
were thirty-four of tlia e uimiiteemsn
present. Nine of them voted against
the motion to adopt, and seven refused
to vote. The result Is really a victory
for the Quay people. They knew noth
ing of the attempt to pass the resolu
tion until it was suddenly sprung upon
them, the call for the meeting simply
stating its purpose to be the fixing of a
day for holding the county c n vetition
to nominate candidates for county of
fices. Therefore, with uo fight against
the resolution, and the committee sup
posed to be favorable to Judge Stewart,
the small margin by which the resolu
tion passed has made the friends of Sen
ator Quay jubilant
At the request of District Attorney
Roihermel the trial of the prosecutions
against Senator Quay has been contin
ued till April 10. The Senator, his at
torneys, and witnesses were in court
Monday morning fully prepared to go
on with and amply satisfied with their
ability to show the rottenness of the
prosecutions when, greatly to the sur
prise and chagrin of the defendant and
his attorneys, the District Attorney an
nounced that he was not prepared to
proceed with the trial, and asked that
the case be continued. He refused to
disc-lose his reasons for asking for a con
tinuance. This last move on the part
of the prosecutors makes it more appv
rent than ever that they have uo faith
in their ability to convict, that the
prosecutions are persecutions, and were
brought as the result of a xIitical con
spiracy in the hope of defeating his
cases will ever be brought to trial. The I
JSeuator baa squarely met Lis memies '
.... .i - ' ' 1 " ' "" ' " rzzz i
and they have ignominiously retreateL
It is probable that the same tactics will
be resorted to again on April 10, espe
cially if a United State Senator has
not been elected by thai time.
Se-natok John H. Wfllkr in
dulged in a piece of demagogy last week
when he issued a lengthy and wordy
"challenge" to Dr. Miller, Republican
representative of Bedford county, to
hold a primary election for the purpose
of discovering the seutiaient of the Re
publican voters of Erdfur-i iHiity on
the United states Sellitorship that Lis
friends would not have thooKht biro
guilty of. In his "challenge"' Senator
Weller save:
"In case a majority of the Republi
can votes cast is in favor of the re-election
of Senator Qaay I will vote for
him, provided the Republican Member
of the Legislature agrees that in the
event of a majority of the Ripublican
votes being cast against the re-election
of Senator Quay he will vote for a can
didate whom I wiil name,"
During his brief May in Harrisburg
our Senator seems to have forgotten
that Somerset and Fulton counties are
jart of his district, aud that 8 niierset
county polls almost as many Republi
can votes as the other two counties
combined; or, pwsibly, he does not
think the wishes of his constituents
not residents of Redford county wor
thy of consideration. Senator Weller
knows that the Republicans of Somer
set county at their last primary electioD
expressed their preference for Senator
Quay. He also knows that be is voting
against the wishes of a large majority
of hi i constituents when he casts his
vote agaiust the re-election of Senator
Quay, and bis proposition to ascertain
the sentiment of the Republicans of
Redford county and then to be bound
by it is a gratuitous insult to the Re
publicaus voters of Somerset and Ful
ton C'Hinties, and is a bit of cheap aud
gauzy buncombe that will deceive no
oue.

The General CUtkifit Democrat! Wlo
Voted, for Bryan.
The following extract from a hi cued
statement issued by Congressman Joseph
Sibley will be read with iulert by the
Iertoe.rats of this county, who have pat
ted Representative Koootz on the back
for bis atatid against regularity-arid the
riirht of the majority to rule:
Thecouutry Democracy of Pennsylva
nia engiges in no deals, no trades. It
ptwisesse 4 lofty ideals and has the con
stant course which achieves victory.
I! fights in the open, not in the dark. It
bad rattier go down to an honorable de
feat than profit through an inglorious
victory. It is the "Old fiuard that uever
surrenders." In afiieeeh mads by Rep
resentative Koonlz in Harris-burg last
week at the great mass meeting of "re
former.. be is reported a telling this
story concerning Democrats: "Tust a
gentleman recently visiting a lunatic as
ylum, was -town through the different
wards, aud in those wards he found maoy
Iieiuoerats who were confined for their
cm.? ideas. The isitor told the super
intendent that he did uot appear to find
any Bryan Democrats among iheio. Oh,
no,' replied the superintendent, "this
a-j-In in is lor lunatics. We do uot take
d d fools r "
Foolishly or wisely, thousands of g.d
men and true voted for Mr. Bryan in lx-d,
the writer one of them. We have been
made the subjects of ridicule over and
over again, but to General Kooutz re
mains the distinction, if he is correctly
quoted, of classifying us all a "d d
fools. Viewing, however, his attempt
and those of bis othor reform frieuds to
t ad us bodily over into thWr camp, we
must credit him, at least, w iio sincerity
iu bis belief. 1.' we are insane, time may
heal in-; if we are fools, we may possibly
t-e lultilling home inscrutable plan of
Providence; but perhaps the acquaint
ance of Representative Koootz with Pe
mocracy is confined to city Democrats;
and we, at leant, thank him for answer
ing the slander so oTten charged against
us. that we were liitialics, for be admit
that he found no Bryan Democrats in the
lunatic asylum.
The position of the Independents is
simply this : They charge Seualor Quay
with moral unfitness. They charge him
with being the least worthy of any Re
publican to occupy a seat in the United
States Senate. As against the worst R-
publican, we are willing to let them pick
the one whom they believe to he the bes'
Democrat, and if they refuse so to do,and
the result should be the re-election o!
Senator Quay, the responsibility for that
election must lie at their own door; and
they at the present moment stand in the
attitude of proclaiming that the worst
Rublioan in the State is more desirabh
than the highest and truest type of Dam
ocrat. If we have correctly read theelec
tion returns, the Independents are in a
very email minority. This seems clearly
tobeac-ise where the Independent tail
demand not alone the privilege of wag
ging the Republican dog, but the
Democratic dog as well. That they
nh.i!d be successful in the former case
may be viewed by Democrat with indif
ference, but there are thousands of Dam-
crats who are yet unwilling to see their
party attached as the tail to the kite ot
any faction of the Hopublican party.

C05GEE3S UP TO DATE.
Review of tit Work Done by the Jitionll
Legislator.
Au eventful period in the country's his
tory is covered by the wot k of the Fifty
fifth Congress, which is drawing to a close.
This Congress baa declared war against a
foreign foe, and the treaty-making branch
has participated in ratifying the treaty by '
which that war was terminated. It has
provid! a great volunteer army, has en
larged the regular army, imd has expand- j
ed the navy to iu-et war Miiereni-ies aud
neur condition. The tarirt" has beu re
sii&i, lirst by the Idiig.ey law, and then
by the war revenue !; a "Cotid issrte
kuown as the war loan has been provided.
CKhcr legislation Includes the annexation
of Hawaii, the rejection by the Senate of
the general treaty of arbitration with
Great Britain, the enact tnent of a national
bankruptcy law, provUion for taking the
12lh census, and reorganization of the
personnel of the navy. To this list may
yet be added important subject still pend
ing, including the Nicaragua canal, the
increase of the regular army, thu anti
acalping measure, the Hawaiian bill, and
the proposed encouragement of American
shipping. Some of tha most imjiorlaut
genera! measures are in tho final legisla
tive stages, aud it will not be until the
last hours arrive that tbe success or fail
ure of those measures will be determined
definitely.
The present Congress began its work
almost simultanenusly with the opening
of President McKinley'a administration.
Two days after his inauguration he issued
the call for an extra session, and in pur
suance to this call Congress assembled on
March 15, Ii7. The special message to
Cougress was directed to tbe need of a
tariff law that would provide ample rev
enue for the support of the Government,
and three days after the extra session be
gan the Dingley tariff bill was reported.
It passed the House within two weeks of
the opening of the fcession, passed the
Senate May 7, and became a law July 24.
Tbe second session of tbe present Con
gress is remember od as the great war ses
sion. It saw the declaration thatlbe peo
ple of Cuba ought to be and are free
aud independent, the declaration of war
against Spain, and the enactment of vast
emergency measures for prosecuting the
war. The first real war legislation was
when Congress placed at the disposal of
the President, without limitation, fcA
0X).(X0 as an emergency fund for national
defense. On April 11 the President com
mitted the entire Cuban question to Coa
gress, and just one week later the con
gressional resolution became a law, de
claring Cuba free and independent; de
manding that Spain withdraw its land
aud naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
wale r i, aud directing the use of our land
and naval forces to enforce the resolu
tions. Within another week, on April
21, tbs declaration of war was p jised by
Congress and approved.
Toe act creating the volunteer army
hd been approved three dys before tbe
declaration of war, and under it the Pros-
1 lent was enabled to call into service the
2 irt.Oiiu men augmenting the regular force.
Tne latter, also, hd been expanded and
improved by the act establishing the three
'lattalion formatiou in titna of war. A
f irtber force was provided by authorizing
the enlistment of lO.OW men adapted to
tropical climate, since kn-wn as "im
m jnci." Another aa a IJed two a i It
tioual artillery regiments to the reilar
array, with a total of l.tUO men. With
these war measures were the acts for rais
aj revenue to meet the vast expendi
tare. Tne first of these was in the war
revenue a it, designed to raise jfl Vj.O W.tO),
and in this connection Congress author
lud a bond issue of SU.fmOOO!), known as
the "war loan." Til toial appropriation
of the second, or war session, footed al
most 5yJ,ij,iXi0, of which upward of
t IW.iWi.0OJ vii for purely war purposes
The present, or third session of the Fif
ty-fifth Congre-is, dealt with questions
growing out of the war. Mo -it important
of these was the considsraiion of the
peaci trea'y in the Senate, transmitted
by the President on January 4. It waa
hld a week by the Coinmitteeoo Foreign
Relation, and reported back to the Sen
ate January 11. The Senate ha 1 the treaty
under consideration for less Lhan a mouth,
the vote on ratificttiou beiu taken Feb
ruary C.
While the treaty was exclusively before
he Senate, the House had some indirect
participation with subjects covered by tbe
treaty. As the branch originating all
revenue me is u rex, it provided an apprv
priation of 20,000,000 to pay Spain accord
ing to the terms of the treaty. This was
first proposed as an amendment to tbe
sundry bill, but was ruled out on techni
cal grounds. Later it passed as an in-
lependent measure. Efforts were de
feated to add to it a declaration of the
p ilicy of the government as to the Phili
pines. The resolution of Senator Mc-E-iery,
declaring the policy toward the
Philippines, came to the House and was
referred to the Committee on F.roi,n
VtTairs, but no final action is probable.
Another important maasure resultiug
from the war is the army reorganization
bill. There has been much difference of
opinion over this, miisure, and aom
promise bill is now pen liug in tbe Senate.
It will no. b until the la-it dys of tbe
session, it' at all, thaMhe fiatl farm of the
measure can be determined.
Th i total appropriations of the present
session will approximate f 700,000.000 of
which about $i."0,0O0,000 will be for tbe
military an i naval uses or for subjects
coauected with tbe war. This estimate,
ho evr, may undergo much change, aa
very few of the large appropriation bills
have become law, and some of them have
not even been considered. Iocluded in
the naval bill are provisions fur three sea
going battleship, three armored cruisers
and six small cruisers, for which $10,000,
(XX) is appropriated for the first year's
work.
Based on estimates, the .total appropria
tions for this Congress, not including the
bur appropriation bills left over by the
former Congress, would ba approxim ue
ly fl 60).OHOJof which am ountapprox
:mit!y $J0, 000,000 is lor war expenses or
incident to the army and navy.

Dewey Asks for tit Great Battle-Ship
Oregsa.
Apparently the American forc iu the
Philippines at Manila aa well as al
Hollo are not having au easy task In
keeping tbe revolting Filipinos in order.
No doubt i expressed and uo apprehen
sion 1 lelt as to tne aumty oi our iorces
to keep possession and maintain disci
pline and order at these two imporuiit
paints, but the minds of the natives have
b-sjti so Inflamed by demag'srues aod
fls leaders that the presents of a mote
formidable force than we now Laroin the
islands is imperative. Whatever mav
be the thoorics of expansionists or anii-
expansiooists, the fact remains that we
must hoid oar power in the archipeiao
at present at least by a preponderance of
force or not at all, and ths latter alterna
tive is out of tbe question. In the situa
tion of affairs it Is claimed that other na
tions interested in the control of tbe
Philippines, or at least interested In ob
taining some sort of a footing there, may
assume to take a pa-t in maintaining
order, upon the excese of protecting the
citizens of their countries and to divide
with tbe I'nited States the present super
vision of police power there. Germany
s not the only nation thus supposed to
be watchiu;; for a chance to interfere, ad
it may be due to this fact that Admiral
Dewey's solicitude for an increase to bis
naval power ut Luzon has been given ex
pression in his request for tbe Oregon.
In the meantime the gre it warship is on
ber way, as also are reinforcements for
Oii. This country is watching tbe turn
of affairs in the far Pacific with great In
terest if not anxiety. Below the latest
Dews follows:
There appears to be little doubt that
Admiral Dewey has found himself con
fronted with a double peril. He, with
General Otis, is menaced on tbe one band
with a troublesome, if .not formidable, in
surrection on the part ot the Filipinos In
ami out of tbe city, and a specious demand
opon the part of some of the foreign pow
ers represented by several warships at
Mauila that if the peace of tbe city can
not be maintained they should be allow
ed to Interfere, at least to tbe extent of
protecting theirown people. As has been
indicated, the German representatives at
Manila hare been particularly busy with
this idea, and this situation of affairs has
given the administration officials here
very great uneasiness, which has not
been lessened by the at ticks on the ad
ministration policy in and out of Con
gress. DEATH TAKE3 EX-TEEASTJ2EH.

Sibley's New Scheme.
Washington, D. C, February 24 The
national leaders of the Democratic party
n the House and Senate, according to
Hon. Joseph C. Sibley, are nlwut to take
part in the senatorial contest at Harria
Mirg. The majority of them are said to
have writton letters indorsing the views
if Mr. Sibley, that if the Wanainaker
people will not assist iu electing a Dctn
Krratic Senator, Senator Quay should be
re elected ')y Democratic votes. Colonel
Guffey and Sibley were here yesterday
representirg tbe two factions of the he
imcracy. In connexion with their movements it
is reported here that on Thursday a con
ference wa-l held between Mr. GuflVy and
some of h s lieutenants to count noses
tnd ascertain how many Democratic
members tf the Legislature could be in
duced to support an independent Repub
lican for Senator. The candidate was not
named, bo i was understood to be ex-Postmaster
G'ineral Wanainaker. It was
found at the conference that not more
than oO of the 87 Democrats could ba in
duced to e iter such a scheme, and it was
doubtful ii that number could be lelied
upon. As this would leave 37 Democrats
free to support Senator Quay, the plan
was abandoned.
Mr. Sibley said last night: "It is true
that I laid before the national Democratic
leaders my plan for breaking the dead
lock at Hsrrisburg, and that thry were
heartily indorsed. National Chairman
Jones of Arkansas, Senator Gorman, Sen
ator Darnel, SenatorGray, Senator Faulk
ner, Se-.a'or Vest, Senator Allen, Senator
Mitcheil, Senator Murphy, and io fact
every one to whom I have talked, and to
whom I gave my article on 'Democracy's
Opportunity, at once gave me letters to
be shown to tbe Democratic members of
the Legislature, indorsing my plan. The
Senator went further, and told me that
if a Republican must be elected from
Pennsylvania that they preferred M. S.
Quay to any man wbo had been named."

Peach Crop la a Bad Way.
Hriposyii.i.e, Del., Feb. 22 -The entire
Tenlnsula poach crp has undoubtedly
been destroyed. This is the opinion of
many prominent pea.-h growers wbi
were interviewed to-day aDd wbo have
made thorough examination of tbe buds.
The thermometer registered J2 degrees
below zero two sucreesive mornings be
fors tbe recent blizzard, and the surprise
i general that even the tree withsuxid
the cold.
This is the third suce -ssive destruction
or the crop. A grower who has kept a
record says there have ln not four
g.ki props of peaches nilbtn the pa-t
sixteen years. As marking the sincerity
of al least one of the growers who fray
the crop is killed, at Greenwood yester
day this year's peach crop oa 2oo0 trees
waa sold for f-'t.
Apple, pears, strawberries and other
small fruit, excepting blackberries and
raspberries, are not believed to be badly
injured.
Want Another Bew County.
One of the local trade organizations in
Johnstown has discovered that it is time
the people of that place m de a proper ef
fort "to be relieved from the disa '.vanta
ge, and burdons uuder which tbey now
labor in haviug tbe county seat where it
is." The county sent of that county is
now at Eoensburg, a beautiful and whole
some plaje, almost exactly In the guo
graphical center of the county.
The action of the Johnstown organiza
tion is not a proposition to change the
county seat of Cambria from Ebeusburg
to Johnstown, but to create a new couuty
of which Johnstown shall be the seat.
It is designed not only to dismember
Cambria county but to slice off elsewhere
In order to get the necessary territory to
make a county at advantageous for
Johnstown. This, says the Philadelphia
Press, will be a very nice thing for the
town, but it has already found strong op
position in the counties which it is pro
posed to break up, and wh-we people can
not appreciate w by Johustowu fias so re
cently discovered that it la disadvanta
geous to have tbe caunty sent where it i.
Notwithstanding the constitutional pro
hibition, new county schemes are con
stantly devised for presentation to tbe
Legislature. Tbey are propared in tbe
form of a general act, bit each oaa h s a
special application, and so far no one has
been of such character that It would fit
any case but the one under consideration.
Etch of these movements is intended for
tbe benefit of some place which wants to
be a county aeat, and the pretext is that
it is ditli jult to gst to the pre-ieut ciunty
seat. Hazleton, when it took on iU ouu
ty seat ambition, discovered how much
out of the way Wilkesbarre was; Johns
town, wishing to p trade as a cj:inty se.it,
discovers that Eoensburg is not the right
place.
No one will criticise the ambition of
Hazleton aud Johnstown and there are
several othfir pbices with the same am
bitionbut it doos uot furnish a Hiitllcient
reason for new coun'y propositions. In
tbe days of the stige noach, btifore rail
roads and trolleys, th9 cm ity seats were
farlhnr awav th in n . Tnere Is o it the
slightest re is i f r a further division of
the counties of the Commonwealth at this
time. It is au expjusive m itter to build
new co irt h uses and j tils to equip aud
piy ai a 1 litioutl ai l n tell-Ms set of
county o Bcors. N iw counties are pretty
curtain toca'.l for additional taxos.
The L?tslttire, which is f: bidden by
the Constitution to enact special laws cre
ating lie" counties, ought not to be asked
to disreirJ the prohibition. Any act to
create a ne.v c inty for fus bnti'. of any
tow a, or In the interest of laud specula
tion, would certiiuly be a spcUI act, no
matter how disguised. Tuere sh-mld le
no mare attemp t in thit direction. The
Legislature cm find mire important
things to engage its attention.
It required stamps to tbe amqunt of
f 11,762.54 for the promissory notes w hich
tbeCeutral Pacific railroad company has
just given the I'nited States inpayment
of that company's property indebtedness
to the government. It was the largest
stamp tax ever paid on a single transaction
of that sort and is likely never to he
(quailed iu amount.
