The Republican Congressional con ference of th'8 district met in Ridg way last Thursday evening, and re nominated Congressman W. C. Ar nold. Hon. C. A. Randall of this place, Gus. B. Evans of Endeavor and Commissioner W. M. Coon of Clarington, represented Mr. A. Wayne Cook, ForeU i ounty'a choice at the conference. Mr. Arnold had already been endorsed by three of the five counties composing the district, and after Mr. Cook's name had been placed b fore the convention by Mr. Randall, it was again withdrawn be fore a ballot was taken, and the For est county representatives cast their votes for the popular Congressman and his nomination was made unani mous. The conventian was entirely harmonious throughout, and the feel ing was very general and pronounced that Mr. Arnold would again land the distoict in the Republican column this fall. Thus endorsing the sound, patriotic and consistent course of our able member in the national balls of legislation, while at the same time holding up the hands of that wise, true and noble American, Presi. dent William McKinley. Col. Stone's Pat Answers. Col. W. A. Stoue, the gallant J standard earer of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, thus makes answer to Prohibition candidate Swallow's recent challenge to discuss alleged political misdemeanors oo the stump: "I am not surprised that you have omitted prohibition as an issue, but I am surprised that tho Prohibition party, which nominated you upou that issue, should so soon forget the purposes and objects of toeir organi zation an I follow it in a crusade which entirely ignores prohibition. You challenge me to discuss twelve declarations or charges upon the stump. All of your twelve declara tions charge crimes and misdemean ors which may be severely punished nnder the laws of the state. 'You do not name the offenders, nor tho time when these crimes and misdemeanors wore committed, but claim to have knowledge ot them and to have evidence to substantiate them, I have no such knowledge except your unsupported statements, which you have heretofore made, but have been unable to sustain in courts. It you have such knowledge of crimes committed and have such evidence, it is your duty, oot only as a good citizen, but as a Christian mioister.to lay the evidence before the grand jury of your county. The witnesses which you propose to call in joint do bate will be sufficient to obtain an in dictment if thev are sufficient to con vince an intelligent audience of the truth of "our charges. "I have taken the liberty to refer your letter to the district attorney o! Dauphen county, awaiting such ac tion as he may take in the matter, as suring rou that if I am elected gov ernnr of Pennsylvania I will heartily co-operate in all cases to bring guilty parties to justice and punish al crimes against the state." Major Brown for Senator. The Republican Senatorial confer ence of this district Cameron, Clar ion, Flk and .Forest counties was held in Ridgway in the evening the 22nd ioat., resulting in the choice of Major J. Z. Brown of Clarion coun ty, as the nominee for (be district The choice is a very judicious one since the nominee is known to be one of '.he most popular and upright citi zeiia of that county, who will carry an immense vote in every section where he is known. While the dis trict hat heretofore been largely Democratic, it required the trading of every candidate, Governor, Con gress and all, to save Mr. Hyde, the present Democratic incumbent, from defeat at the election four years ago, and it was only accomplished then by a bare hundred majority. This can be overcome very easily, since the Domination of the Democratic candi date, Mr. Neeley of Clarion, is one which is not at all popular, and which was dictated wholly by Hall of Elk, after he bad been nomina'ed for Con gress. Forest county was given to understand that she was too small and must not expect to get such plums oftener than one year in thirty. It remains to be seen whether the people will stand such highanded dictation. The Lumber Tariff. The Canadian Commissioners are pressing the Amoricau Commissioners for some reduction in the rate ofduty on lumber. On no other branch of rade with the United States are the Canadians apparently so anxious to secure leducions. The experience under the Democratic Tariff act of 1804, which put rough and sawn lum ber on the free lint, has made them anxious 'or a renewal of that privi- ege. As Mr. Dingley stated iu Congress in a discussion on the effect of the Democratic Tariff on the lumber in- t-rest, it uot only cost the United States Government a large sum in revenue, but it brought no heuefit to tho couutry. Mr. Diogley's words uttered last year were as follows: "la the year 1800 the imports of lumber free of duty in th's country were only $4,- 250,000 in value ; in 1806 the imports of lumber free of dutv were a little over 816,750,000, au increase of $12, 500.000 ; in 1800 we received a reve nue of $2,250,000 from lumber, aod in 1806 only 8712,000. That to say, we surrendered $1,500,000 iu revenue, and gave the Canadians the privilege of importing $13,000,000 worth of lumber without auything in return." Yorkers Statesman. Pay your taxes before the J8th of October. It will make you dead sure of being entitled to vote at the com ing fall election. One of Dr. Swallow's indictments against the Republican party is that the State pays mors for supplies to certain favored contractors than the same goods can be purchased for in open market. In his speeches he endeavors to make much of ibis item in his platform. Every one who cares to investigate the matter knows that the State pays less for supplies than individuals pay for the same goods. Dr. Swallow has a store in llarrisburg and sells stationery, etc, Some time sinee W. II. Heckendorn Deputy Factory Inspector, asked Dr. Swallow's house for bids for sup plies, including several varieties writing paper, pens, inks, rules paper weights, etc., for bis depart ment. ino bid tor the goods was sent in and an investigation disclosed the fact that in evary instance Swallon's prices were higher than the state was paying lor the some goods Oo so'o articles Dr. Swal low's .prices were 150 per cent, higher, aod in no instance were the prices quoted as low, by 10 per cent., as the State paid the ether con tractors. Of course Swallow did not get the contract. But the prices his bouse quoted showed that he was not in business for his health, especially when the State government wanted goods from his store. A comparison of Swallow's prices, with the prices paid by the depart ment, killed one of his lying asser tions too dead to skin. And, by the way, bis other charges against the Republican party and its leaders, are on a par with the above, and do not come any nearer the truth. Fitted to Rule the Sea. The great triumph of our navy in the recent war have led the Ameri can people t regard our American sailors with honor and admirutinn Before the glorious victory at Manila the American people had regarded our navy as an unknown quantity foreigners bad not regarded it at all The history of the war of 1812 should have taught them all better. To day they know better. ' Tbey know that man for man, our navy has no super ior, perhaps no equal. This is ooly in line with American traditions. In view of the fact that Americans have always showed then-selves fitted to rule tho sea, it is strange that th legislators of the country have so neg lected and iguored the interests American shipping. When they have Protected every other American in tereat, they have still left our ship piog unprotected and unconsidered And the usual result of a' Free-Trad policy has followed viz., ruin. Now that our naval triumphs have brought once more to the minds of the peopl that Americans may be supreme o the sea if they choose, we hope tha they will insist no having past pledges redeemed and will seu to it that Con gress gives Protection to America shipping by means of of a system discriminating duties. Ooly nine Populists responded to a call for a State convention in New York. But Baker and Donnelly will be satisfied to escape a whitewash in the Empire State. Gen. Blanco remarks that theCu bans were nearly pacified when the United Slates interfered. The Span itsh word pacified must have tho same meaning as exterminated. It is a safe proposition that the Congress to be elected in November ought to be and will be in '.arraony with President McKinley. In the seige of Port Hudson during the civil war 4000 Union soldiers died from disease in a total of 17,000 men. That is double the whole mor tality list of the war with Spain. The Fifty-fifth Congress has pleased the people in standing by the admin istration. In November the Fifty sixth Congress will be named, and not one good reason can be given for placing it in opposition to the President. Republicans Bhould be ca-eful to pay their county tax before the 8th o October, otherwise they may be de prived of their vote. Don't put it off' till the last moment, hut see to it at once, and in person. Written au thority must be given if any other party pays yo .r taxes. The Democrats of this district have placed J. K. P. Hall, of Elk county, in nomination for Congress.- Twice in the past feur years that party has relied on overwhelming majorities to crush Mr. Arnold and failed in each instance. This time they expect to do it with a bar'l. But will fail. W. C. Arnold is a nati inal man, and his presence in Congress is nseded in these trying hours, and the people will see to it that he gets there. tory since the'eivil war thoso were the pure la heart, the sanctified and the pa triots of the country. The Democrats ho in 1S96 forsook the sound money Democratic principle for which that party has always theretofore contended, who followed Bryan and his free coinage erase and attempted to debauch our currency reduce prices and demoralise the nances of our country, to cheapen labor and reduce day's work In the country, to repudiate our money these were alone th honest, the pure In heart and the Mam-titled Democrats of the country. I do not otten pose as a defender of Democrats, but it is my duty and the dutv of every loyal man in the country to correct this statemaut of my opponent and to denounce it as unfair to the men who in separating from the Democratio party and uniting and affiliating for the time with the only party organization that promises prosperity and salvation to the country, wore not ouly patriotio, but preferred their country to thoir party and were not tempted by the spoils of of fice, but were alone tempted by the love of their country and ot the flag of our Nation. They stand In the State an Independent fearless body of men who have evidenced their desire to be influenced by principle and patriotism more than by party. What will these men who stood by Mo- Kinley in 1890 and saw his triumph largely through their own political action think of thin charge T What will the men who stood by Sam Randall and have lived to see his doctrines triumph and prosperity and success come to this coun try as the result of his clear insight In public affairs and his wise statomanship, think of this chargoT I hope that my op ponent has been wrongly reported and that he will take action to deny that he ever made sny such charge against men, who, in iny judgment, havo not only demonstrated that their motives in leav ing the Democratic party wore pure, and honest, but that their patriotism and love of country were alone the influences which guided them. Such men the Re publican party always welcomes with an outstretched and eager hand. We are glad to have them affiliate with us. They have honored us and made our party or ganization purer and stronger. To such Democrats the latchkey of the Republi can party is always out and always will be. Truth wears woll.

Yes. The London Spectator argues that a Nicaraguan Canal is now impera lively needed by the United States and that hi construction would be of great advantage to the whole com mercial world. This is one of the importint questions of the near fu ture, and it will be taken up seriously by Congress as soon as the war prob lems are settled. The newspaper men who are ac companying the Jauks party on theii tour throughout the state possess a large amount of imagination. They reported that at Meadville there were 10,000 people present to listen to the spellbinders. Accoidiog to tho re ports of the home papers the hall iu which the speeches were made would ouly seat about 450 people. But the reporters receive pay for that kind of work. Titusaille World. Col. Stone's Reply to Mr. Jenks. In his speech at the Lycoming county fair, on the 23d ln.it., Col. Stono paid some attention to Mr. Jenks in the fol lowing approved style : In the speech delivered by Mr. Jenks, my opponent, at New Castle on Wednes day, he Is reported by the nowspapors to nave said : "The Republican and Democratio parties were in the first In stance made uo of men equally endowed with common honesty, but the tempta tion of spoils has taken from the Demo cratio party many of those who otherwise would have been Democrats, hence the Democratic party has been purified to a great extent of those who thought of themselves only and have forsaken its ranks. Those who remained were ann ci tified with the principle of liberty. They have built up a nation that never before existed on the earth and they adhere to the right, although in the minority." Here, then, is assigned the reason by my respected opponent that led a large number of Democrats In 1861 to leave the Democratic party and become Republi cans. In other words, it is charged that the Democrats who stood up with Lin coln in 18(11 and supported th govern ment in its trying ordeal and left the Democratic party and became Republi cans, were influenced alone by the temp tation of spoils. And again those Dem ocrats who followed Sam Randall in Pennsylvania in his support o' tho pro tective tariff and stood like a wall against their own party organization these men with Sam Randall at their head, we are told were influenced by the temptation of office spoils. And again the Domocrats who in 1806 refused to support the free coinage craze, who remained loyal to the sound money and to the main principle for which their party had always thereto fore contended those men who stood up against free coinage andBryan, these men who thought more of their country than 'their party, these men who refused to be side-tracked by the free-coinage wildcat train, those men were tempted by the spoils of office T These Democrats who remained in 186) with the Democratic or ganization and all through these terrible four years plotting politically against the success of the war and hampering the policy of Abraham Lincoln, sued and pleaded for dishonorable p6ace those men were the "sanctified" and "purified' Domocrats, imbued with the spirit of lib erty ; those Democrats who opposed Ran dall in Pennsylvania, and who followed Cleveland in bis free trade dogmas; who opposed the prosperity of the country and devised a deficit in the Treasury who did everything they could to bring about the result which followed in 18G2 by the election of Grover Cleveland ; who did everything they could to bring about tho passage of the Wilson bill, that closed our workshops nnd faetories.that stopped our mines and that sent able-bodied men upon the streets of our large manulactur ing cities to beg bread for their starving families; those men who brought about thin saddest period in our National hls- Have yon got $25JX)T Have you got $50.00?
