Republican of rni;r counties, through their respective organizations, last wetk went on rec- ' ord s Btsndin; r.y the p'jtlwart leader ship of the Republican party In this commonwealth. As this action Is the first taken in the contest for the con trol of the neit legislature, which will 1-e cfil!el upon to e!et a successor to Colonel Quar in the I'.Mted States sen- j ate, the outcome must t recaraea aa e?r'e iiily important at this time. The most nronounced stalwart vic- tory and cue which has far reaching . sipnlficanco was that won in Jefferson co'jntr, where a clean cut contest was decided hv a popular vote. It was not merely a "half hearted support of the present Republican leadership nor a rerfumtory indorsement of Colonel Oust, but a full, positive and emphatic , declaration from the Republicans oi the ; ro-jnty that they are in favor or major ity niie and have no sympathy with the Innrgetit movement. jHnon and Indiana counties com pose a state senatorial district. They, do not elect defeat es to a convention. !mt they vote directly for the candidate, snd the candidate for state senator se enrinx the maiority of vote? in the two counties wins the romJnation. Jef fTbon on Tuesday last led off, and had the honor of beinrr the first county In Pcnrsylvani? to pass cpon the United S'ates sena'oith'p. Po important was this fi"ht to be that William Flinn. the Pittsbure boss end contractor, invaded the county with his apents. and did his ttmost to c?,-ry the election. Jefferson county has had the sena tor for elnht years. Under the rota tion srstem the office now coes to In diana" county. Jobn S. Fisher was named ly the stalwart Republicans as their candidate. The insurgents and !o!ters named Dr. Morrow, and both r'mps were submitted to the voters of jpffprson county. Money was sent into the county in larjre amounts.The same kind of political manaeement that Is used in Fittsbur; to keep Flinn la rower and in contracts was used !n .Toforson. T he resu't was a most pro nounced victory for the stalwarts. Not onlv did ihev choose Mr. Fisher as their candidate for Ktate senator, but thv named their choice for congress, and elened their delegates to the sUte roivention. N'olhinK could be fairer than the evsierrin use in Jefferson county. All RppuM'can voters are called unon to ro to the noils and make their direct choice between candidates. It is sim ply a quest Ion of majority rule, and the ir.aioritv in Jefferson cor.nty has been enst over, i.e'mingly for Senator Quay. There is no use in mincing words about the matter. The fisrht was between Oup.y and bis opponents, his opponents have simplv been slaughtered, and Mr. Flinn has been sent back to Pittsburs defeated in the verv first engagement of the leeislative campaign. The majorities for the out and out Oray supporters were in manv cases 'srirer than the total vote polled for Ihcir insurrent opponents. The im rrtace of this victorv for the stal--:rt RcrciMicrn clement is emphasized 'v the fn"t that it was pnnounced after -.e !pit ir.!i!r-PT!t conference in Phila-d-'rHa hat FMr.n n..J undertaken the r-witv!.-4 tn man.Tre the anti-Quay eam-t-'!?i i spven count 'es Jefferson.

That thpre could t e ro mistake as to the tune rai ed bv the F inn camnaim cn. thev ;er.t to every Republican voter in the county a circular letter lb mtiirh the mails, which was headed "Republicanism versus Quayism." It was an anpeal direct to the people, and the people pave their answer on Tues rtf lnt at the polls. Fisher won hy a majority of over 2.50o over Morrow. This was .he principal issue involved as the state fTiator to be elected next November will not only have an oppor tunity to vote to elect Colonel Quay's nrce?sor. but also for the successor to Senator Penrose. W. O. Smith, a Quay !e.-cr nf the county, defeated Alexan der Fruit for conpress by 1.800 major' v. and the national delegate and el! the r!eiea:es to the state convention rre suopor.ers of Colonel Quay, and they were elected bv majorities rang ing from 1.500 to 2.000. As Jefferson county is in the sena torial district in which Attorney Gen eral John P. Elkin resides, this distln raished sen of Indiana was warmly concratnlated by local Republican lenders who called upon him here upon lerming the news from Jefferson county. ROUT OF PARTY WRECKERS. Editor A. T. Moorehead. of the Indi ana l'rcrre?s. in discussing Mr. Fish er's victory for senator in Jefferson, sa'dr "The Flinn tortus were routed horse, foot and dragoon. They marched up the hill with torn toras loudly beating and banners proudly flyine. but they retreated down the hill with such un due haste and in such disorder that the provision trail and supply uaois were lost in the Big Sandy. The general issimo of the Flinn campaign mana gers, owin; to the fatigue incident to the forecd marches up the kops and kopjes of that county now lies hors du combat. It was a memorable contest, and will live long in the political his tory of our neighbor county. It is the opening gun of the campaign in the state. It Is the tret county to be in vaded by the Flinn outfit. It was the first primary to test the strength be tween straijrhtout Republicans, mho believe in majority rule, and the polit ical insurgents, who are attempting to break np the Republican party. Fisher Etood for ttie rule of the majority and for straightout Republicanism. Flinn represented the party wreckers. He asks the people to win at the primaries If they can, but if they fail he wants them to join the with Democrats and defeat, the party to which he owes his o'ieglance. The issue was fought out clong these lines. The result is a vin dication of the regular Republicans. It ought to be aa inspiration to Re Twblicft.ni who are fighting the same kind of battles in ttber counties. The reople believe in taajority rule. They l eiieve in party organization, aud will not support the men who are endeavor ing to break down the party that has c.one so much for the development of this country. Mr. Fisher is to be con gratulated on the splendid vindication le received from he Republicans of JtfTcrson county. Indiana county will Co better." Indiana county will vote npon the rtate senatorship at the coming pri maries, and. as in Jeffereon, the rules call for a popular vote. There will be ro reason to charge the so-called ma chine with the victory which is assured Mr. Fisher, as the people will ballot with the issue squarely defined. Mr. Fisher will probably carry Indiana county by at least 2.500 majority, and it is possible, since the outcome of the Jefferson county Cght, that the Flinn men will conclude to save mcney and r.ot make a fight. Their campaign in Jefferson was a very expensive prep osition. MILLIONAIRE COMBINE BEATEN. "As between Quay and any repre sentative of the Flinn-Martfn bolters The Inquirer has always eon tti tied that the people would prefer Quay." said the editor of the Philadelphia In quirer in commenting uon the Jeffer son county primaries. "They have no use for any pretender of the hypocrit ical insurgent millionaire machine. Tnis millionaire machine talks loudly about reform, but its reform consists in buying votes, and In making its way Uirough intrigue, corruption and po litical infamy. Dr. Morrow, as the representative of such an infamous machine, his teen defeated, and we tLitfc tiat that machine will Had the peopi arrayea against tt nerever r. undertakes to control. That machine is dead in Philadelphia: it is dead la Delaware county, and it is practically dead in Chester county. As a matter oi fact the insurgents who bolted the Republican caucus at Hatrisburg are everywhere iooked upon with disfavor, "he one thing left for the insurgents to do is to join the Democrats In fusion tickets. They have been beaten outright in Jefferson county, and now it is only in harmony with their put actions to support the Democratic can didate. s a matter of fact, this is exactly what the insurgents intend to io everywhere. They will contest the primaries in thejlifferent counties. When they are bealea out and out, as they will be. they will Join the Cemo crats. Ia other words, if they cannot rule tiiey wiil attempt' to ruin, and the candidate of the bolters of (be Fiinn Martin stripe is the candidate of the Democrats, and that man is the free silver Democratic leader of Pennsylva nia, James M. Guffey." CHESTER AND SNTTJER. That Chester county is still very much in the stalwart column was amply demonstrated at the meeting of the Republican county convention last week. There was not a single dissent ing voice to the resolutions offered en dorsing the policy of President McKin ley and Governor Stone making the following declaration aa to Colonel M. S. Quay: "We reaffirm our allegiance to the matchless Republican leadership of Hon. Matthey Stanley Quay and depre cate the fact that the United States senate has not yet taken favorable ac tion on the certificate of Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania, and given to him the seat and to the people of Pennsylvania -itfi. representation to which they are entitled and guaran teed in the senate of the United States by the constitution." This declaration from the Republi can convention of Chester county must have been a hard blow to Flinn and his colleagues. It was a notable feature of the Ches ter county convention that the former bolters wre absent. In fact, they were not represented from a single precinct in the county. The Republicans have announced their choice for senator and members of the legislature by publishing the list far in advance of the primaries, which will not be held until June. At this time the Chester county bolters from the party are doing noth ing whatever. 1 bey say they are awaiting developments and will get into the fight after a time when they get matters properly shaped. The Democrats, however, seem to have got ten enough cf fusion at the last elec tion, and it teems almost impossible for Chairman Cavanaugh to get them into lint for another such farce. With out them the bolters will of course have no show. The pledge which all Republican candidates are now re quired to sign by the chairman of the county committee will prevent any de feated candidate upon the regular ticket, shruld he become disgruntled, from forming an alliance with the bolt ers in any movement they should make. Snyder county's Republican primar ies were held last Saturday. The7 passed off quietly. The only contests in the different districts were for the local committeemen. The following candidates were nominated without op position: For congress. Thad M. Ma hen; assembly, A. M. Smith; senator, B. K. Focht; prothonotary, G. M. Shin dsl; register and recorder, J. H. Wil lits. Dr. P. Herman defeated G. W. Wagonseller for national delegate. This action of the Snyder county Republicans insures the nomination of rniamin K. Focht, editor of the Lew isburg Saturday News, a stalwart Re publican of Union county, for stave senator. LANCASTER STALWART AS EVER. la Lancaster county the last day upon which candidates for the leg islature could register for the Repub "Van primaries has passed, and the'e &3 not a single opponent placed in the field against any of the regular can didates for the stale senate or the house of representatives. This, with the triumphant election of a stalwart Republican. Dr. Henry E. Muhlen berg es mayor of Lancaster, and the ti-ospectie appointment of another talwart &3 postmaster of that city, leaves no room to doubt that Lancaster will continue to be one cf the most stalwart counties in the state.

ANOTHER CASE OF INSURGENT BLUFF Penrose Promptly Discounts a Story Sent Out by the Flinn Martfh Combine.

Feb. 27. It was with great exultation that the insurgent press bureau sent out through the state last week a 6tory to the effect that Colonel Quay's case in the United States senate had been side tracked and that it c-otild not possibly be brought np at this session of congress While they may not have believed what they wanted the people of the state to believe, the Insurgents thought that this was a splendid card to play for effect upon the Republican primary elections throughout the Comonwealth and at which they are endeavoring to break through the lines of the stal wart Republican element. The guer rilla politicians, who know no allegi ance to any organization, except their own personal political machine, did not know that while their newspaper allies, few in number though they be, were printing this story of Colonel Quay being bowled out. Senator Pan rope had his plans carefully laid to bring the case up in the United Stales Senate on Friday last. This he did and despite the schemes of a few Senators who are leading the opposi tion to the Beaver statesman, to side track the case, the young Pennsylva nia fought with tact and spirit and he finally won by a vote of 34 to 28 end the case was called up for discus sion. This showing was a surprise to the enemies cf Colonel Quay, as among those voting against the consideration of the matter at that time, were sev eral Senators who are on record as bavins said they will vote to seat Col onel Quay when the matter ccmes up for final action. These men for one reason or another opposed considera tion of the Quay case on that day but all of them have since Bald they will vote to seat him when the issue is reached for on a final vote. PENROSE A GOOD FIGHTER. ' Senator Penrose made a strong showing on the floor. He advanced the proposition, first of all, that the claim of the senator to a seat was a ques tion of the highest privilege, and was entitled to be brought up whenever any senator desired to discuss it. He claimed that no vote was required whatever. A ruling upon this point was not made. The presiding officer Indicated that If he were forced to make a ruling it would be against Sen ator Penrose's" proposition. Senator Hoar and one or two others were anxious that the point should be met. A long discussion would have resulted and both Penrose and Chandler were prepared to debate the question, but the point was temporarily shelved, when Mr. Penrose made the simple mo tion that the Quay credentials be taken up. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, made the opening speech in favor of Sena tor Quay. His contention was that a governor has a right to appoint at any time when there ia a vacancy and the legislature is not in session. It was an elaborate address, and the senator was well fortified vith quotations. There does not seem to be any desire to supplant the Hawaiian question, for as only a few speeches are to be made. they can be made before 2 o'clock, the h-M:r wen the regular order begins. The indications are that the matter will te put to a vote within a 6hort time and there is every reason to ?ie lleve that Senator Quay will be seated by a good majority. The New York Herald's Washington correspondent wires his paper that there Is no doubt about Colonel Quay being seated upon Governor Stone's credentials. The local election in this city last week resulted in the election of every man on the Kepublican city ticket. There were only candidates for magis trates running, but a bitter fight was made against them by the insurgent Republicans and by other men who have seifish ends to serve politically and who have been arrayed against the leadership of the Republican party in the 6tate because they have not been allowed to have their way In the matter of the distribution of the favorr of the Republican organization. Thes men found as the campaign progressed that the people did not believe the re ports which were intended to hold the Republican party responsible for the election frauds which were unearthed in a couple of election precincts in the slum districts of this city. The think- lng and honest voters realized that conditions exist in every large city in the quarters cf the dspravea elements which naturally result In election frauds, of the men accused of 6tuff ing the ballot boxes three were found guilty as the results of investigations and prosecutions by Republican of ficials end they are now serving their time in prison. The people evidently did not take any Ftock in the attempts to make the Republican psrty organi sation responsible for these frauds, Of the Republican candidates for mag istrate Magistrate Cunningham, a pro nounced Quay supporter, who had been the subject of almost daily attacks during the campaign waged by the in surgent newspapers, polled the high est vote at the election. He wae the trnly candidate who received over 100, 0C0 votes. The Republican organization comes out of the last contest stronger than ever and will be found with repre sentatives from almost every district from this city acting with the leaders cf the regular Republican state or ganization at the coming state conven tion. 1 THE HOTEL BELLBOY. lie riaaa lo flan- Oae Day pi fi aad Hnn, "Some day whea I have accumulated a stake." aid one of the brisiu bell boys at the Hluiisoni Uoust the other day.

A curious aualogy to this'fiiiu tios Is found Iu some Insectivorous plants, which, as has U-cu shown by rcivrt experiments, refuse to capture lucts or pay atTentlou 10 fragments of mc-flt placed within their grasp except when the soil upon which they grow Is lack ing in nitrogenous elements. By sup plying a fertilizer rich In nitrovn these 60 called carnivorous plants cease to be carnivorous and behave wholly like other phitits. The same principle applies to the use of fat uiak.ng substanr-cs. such as starchy and oleaginous food, such as nuts nud cereals. The writer has frequently ol served in thin patients a craving for fats, which disappeared entirely after the patient hail made a gain of 'JO or 30 pounds. The taste' was no doubt Intended by tbe Creator to lie a perfect guide to the quantity aud quality of food to lw taken and not simply a menus of gus tatory pleasure. Unfortuuately It has been terribly debauched and pervert ed from Its normal function. Men aud women treat the palate as the pianist treats his instrument, touching ll In various ways simply for the purjiose of provoking pleasurable sensations, with ro regard whatever for the ossibIe needs of the body or tlie possible dam age which may le caused. The sense cf taste, thus wrongly educated, be comes iM-rvertcd. and its Indications become confused. Abnormal cravings are developed, which demand satisfac tion in the use of tea. coffee, wine and other Intoxicants, mustard. epperand other condiments, large quantities of salt, pickles anil rich and savory dish es of various sorts, together with sweets. Ices and tidbits of all kinds. The sense of taste has lieen dethroned from its high tosilion as governor of nutrition and has -omc to be nr-rely the servant of n capricious and insjitia hie desire for an illegitimate sensa tion. n purely selfish animal pleasure. This is gluttony, pure and simple, and is the apt tutor ami hail companion of alcoholic Intemperance. The fn-e use cf common salt must likewise be placed among serious dietetic errors. Professor Bunge of Basel, the lending physiological chem ist of the world, with many others, has shown that the so called m-csslty for the alimentary use of salt rests upon a very iiui-ertain and equivocal. If not erroneous, basis and that at most salt can Ik- used witliout lujury only ic very n.Iniite qiianl ities. The quantity designated by Professor Bunge as wit'iiu the limits of possible harmless-, ness is about !."i gniius a day. or prol alily less than one-foHrth of the amount usually consumed. The free use of salt leads to thirst and copious drtuklug in connection with meals. Hum chewing, tobacco chewing, the nse of tobacco Iu any form, must lie coDilemued as harmful to the digestion through BXhnustitig the function of the salivary glands, ho that when reqnir cd lo maintain constant activity the saliva secreted by the glands has very little value as a digestive agent. The glands, as well as the muscles mid other parts of the body, require rest In which to store up the elements nec essary for their proper function. Good Itoltb. nia Capacity Had Limits.

Preparaa- the Krw Aalmali For he Cirpaa RIsk, - All throusb the winter circus men are training tbe animals for new tricks for the next summer. Tbe winter is by no means an Idle time. Trainiug Horses Tor the ring is Interests work. Tbe first tbiug done la to put the uew horses Id the stables with the old clr cus horses to get them used to their new company, and a cjueer thing no ticed is that the old horses are Jealoiu of tbe newcomers. A great deal of patience and time Is required to train tlie horses to rt.n around the ring. They are blindfolded and taught to run around the ring iu a circle The natural tendency of the horse Is to ruq straight, aud It Is a bard thing for hltu to learn. A sys tem of checks aud lines Hiukes the training easier than formerly. The horse Is an observant animal and apt to do what be sees another horse do. so when the blindfold Is re moved be Is piaced alongside an old trained horse, and the man who Is to ride the new animal does tricks witb the old ones, then tries them on the pnplL A good. Intelligent horse soon learns and actually helps bis rider. Horse are very sensitive to applause and with that stimulus will do twice ns much work as without. They are Just as likely to lose their bends aj ba man performers and have to be care fully watched. A weU trained ring horse Is easily worth SI.UTxt.' and r.h era who are stars usually own their horses. Tlie most careful atteutiou Is given these anlmjila.
