And the tide of public sentiment against the cau cus bolters and party workers claiming membership in the Republican party continues to rise and .grow stronger every day. The Flinn-Martin com bine of the machine leaders of Pitts burg and Philadelphia, who have de luded a few men from interior coun ties to Join thorn in their crusade of revenge against Colonel Quay, have received another double setback. The previous week they were re buked and condemned by the Repub licans of Mercer and Bradford coun ties at the Republican primaries, at which delegates were elected to the Republican atate convention. In each of these counties there were two mem bers of the legislature who were elect ed as Republicans, but who bolted the caucus on the United States senator ship and joined the Insurgents. Their constituents sent to the convention a solid delegation in each county that will vote to sustain the action of tho regulars in supporting the Republican caucus nominee for senator, Colonel Quay, and maintaining the integrity of the regular Republican organiza tion. TWO MORE COUNTIES. Now Snyder and Armstrong coun ties have fallen into line. By most emphatic and decisive majorities at tho Republican primaries held on Satur day last they ' repudiated the insur gents and stood loyally by the regu lar Republican organization of the state. T- personality of Colonel Quay has censed to figure prominently In this contest. It is generally re garded as an issue between the men who wish to see the integrity of the Republican organization preserved and those who, actuated by personal hos tility to 'Colonel Quay and a desire to extend their political power, am eager to elect a majority of delegates to the next state convention, who will follow their directions in carrying out their scheme to control the organiza tion of the Republican party of Penn sylvania. It has already been demon strated that the insurgents will be in a very small minority in the stat3 convention. Two counties held their primary elections on Saturday last. They both sent delegates to the state convention who will sup port the policy of the present Repub lican state organization and will sus tain the members of the legislature who voted for the Republican caucus nominee for United States senator, Colonel M. S. Quay. Snyder county elected as a delegate to the state con vention C. M. Arbogast, a staunch Republican, who will voice the senti ments of his constituents by co-operating with Governor Stone and the other leaders of the Republican stato organization in any program that may be determined upon for the state con vention. Ho was elected by the men who in the Snyder county Republican committee voteu unanimously to com mend the action of Senator Hummel and Representative Smith, who voted to the end of the session of the leg islature for Colonel Quay's election to the United States senate. ARE STILL STALWART. The Republicans of Armstrong coun ty also held their primary election on Saturday last. They elected a full ticket, composed of friends cf Colonel Quay. As delegates to the Republican state convention they elected Me3srs. Sturgeon and Hill, both pronounced friends of Senator Quay. The entire ticket for county offices In each of these counties is composed of support ers of the regular organization. It is significant 'that in the memora ble contest for United States senator in Colonel Quay determined to meet his opponents in an oppn contest for the nomination of members of the legislature by a popular vote at the Republican primaries. His success ful campaign in this instance was opened in these two counties, Snyder and Armstrong. John Dalzell was then pitted against him. In each case, on a fair test at the polls, Colonel Quay was a winner by an overwhelming vote. He appealed directly to the peo ple. There was a clean cut contest and the result was a positive victory for the Heaver statesman. He seems to have retained the confidence and respect of the Republicans of these counties. PENROSE'S NARROW ESCAPE. Among the distinguished partici pants at the unveiling of the Hart- ranft monument at Ilarrisburg last week was Hon. Roles Penrose. He started home on the ill fated train that was wrecked on the Reading railroad at kxeter, where over :io lives were lost in a rear end collision. The dis tinguished young Philadelphlan had a narrow escape with his life. He had been In the Ilarrisburg car and would probably have been killed but for the fact that he changed his seat to one in the smoking car. In commenting upon his experience Senator Penrose said: "I got oil the train at Reading to get a little lunch, and, fortunately, board ing the train as it was drawing out of the station, I Jumped on the smok ing car Instead of returning to tfce Ilarrisburg coach at the end of the train. "When the train, which was running nt a high rate of speed, reached Exe ter, about six mill's from Heading, it was mopped. We had not been there more than a minute when the crash came.

"Two or three cars that were not In jured were detached from the train and brought about a dozen of the in jured to this city.

"I once took an involuntary hair rais ing ride," said n western man. "It was in Colorado a number of years ago. I was in the lumlvr business nt the time and had a siwinill in a valley at t ho foot of an enormous mountain spur, covered with pine. Tile place where tho best tlm t?r was cut was perhaps n mile away, and to save rouiidutxmt hauling wo built what wo called log shoots. They were simply V shaH-d troughs, as near straight as possible, runninjidown tho mountain sldo to the inillyard. ' When n tree was felled, it was trimmed up, dumped into the nearest shoot and wont down like a 10 inch shell. In the course of time the friction wore all the troughs as smooth as glass and also drove them into tho ground, so they wore mostly flush with tho surface. One winter day I was out inspecting, riding a tough mus tang pony, and concluded to visit a tract that had Uvu worked over and almndon ed. Tho ground was thickly covered with snow, and tho pony was cautiously pick ing his way when suddenly ho lurched forward and fell. 1 stuck in tho saddle, and tho next thing I knew wo wero whiz zing through space like n nx-ket. " You see, ho had accidentally stopped into an abandoned log shoot, and ns his legs wore doubled under his lnidy it. was impossible for him to get out, but I dis covered all that afterward. It happened so quickly I had no time to think, and all I remember of the ride is that swift swoop of perhaps live seconds and then a sail through the air.

It would l)o greatly for the health of tho present generation if honey could at least be partially restored to its former place as a common articlo of diet, says What to Eat. In many cases It may be a matter of real economy to lessen tho butter bill by let ting honey- in part take its place. A pound of honey will go about as far ns a pound of butter, but If both articles bo of the best quality honey will cost tho less of the two. Often a prime articleof extract ed honey (equal to comb honey in every respect except apnea ranee) can lx obtained for half tho price of butter or less. Wo all know how children long for candv. This longing voices a need and is another evidence of tho necessity of sugar in our diet. Children should havo all tho honey nt each mealtime that they will oat. It is safer and will hugely do away with tho inordinato longing for candy and other sweets. At tho present day honey Is placed on tho market in two forms in tho comb nnd extracted, "i-'triiinod" honey, obtained by mashing or melt ing combs containing bees, pollen and honey, has rightly gone out of use. Extracted honey is simply honey thrown out of tho comb in a niu chlne called a honey extractor. The silly stories seen from tlmo to timo in tho papers about artificial combs being filled with glucose and deftly sealed over with a hot iron havo not tho slightest foundation in fact. For years there has been a standing offer by one whoso finan cial standing is unquestioned of $1,000 for a single pound of comb honey mado with out tho intervention of the bees. The offer remains untaken nnd will probably always remain so, for tho highest art of man can never compuss such delicate workmanship as the skill of tho bee accomplishes. Her Idea wf Worth.

Now, it should havo been worth a good deal, for tho girl was young and pretty. "I reckon it's worth about 50 cents," said tho swain, holding out two quarters. Tho clergyman looked blankly nt the coins, then turned to tho fair one. "I'll leavo it to you, madam," ho said. "What do you think it's worth?" What did this young and blushing bride do?

THE SCHOOL FUND ITEM. Free Text Hooka Hnvtnir Been Pro vided, lie ItcltcvcH No Great Hard ship AY 111 Ho Kxperlenoeil by a Re duction For the- Next Two Yearn. (Special Correspondence.) Ilarrisburg, May 16. Governor Stone is making a remarkable record by the courageous and unsparing use of the veto power vested in him by the consti tution. He is wielding the veto ax right nnd left. He seems absolutely ill different to the intluenceof thepolitlcal leaders when passing upon matters of legislation. His experience in congress, where he was recognized as one of the most methodical and painstaking mem bers on the floor of the house, has been of invaluable service to him In per forming this important branch of his work as the state's executive officer. Govrr.rr Stone has been placed in a peculiar and very embarrassing posi tion. The several measures which he advocated to raisp revalue to meet the standing obligations and current ex penses of the stale were all defeated in the house of representatives by a com bination betv. o-n the It; publican insur gents r.nd the Democrats. The influ ences back of these Republican guer rillas are now denounci'ig the governor because of his vetoes ( f appropriation bills, which he is obliged to do, by rea sou of the failure of the legislature to carry out his various schemes for rais ing funds to meet these very demands upon the generosity and charity of the commonwealth. Despite his heroic ac tion, the governor hni been unable to cut down these miscellaneous appro priations to allow the revenues tocoyer the full r.mount of the appropriations mado to the schools. He haa found it necessary to reduce the general school appropriation 1500,000 a year, and in doing so has written a veto message which gives in detail the history of the increase i:i the school appropriation from 1871. whoa the sum was the mini mum fixed by tho new constitution, $1,000,000. In 1SS7 r.n agitation was started that resulted in increasing the annual appropriation of $l,Sf O.CtW, and for the two yerrs following the public schools received that amount each year. In 1SS1 the appropriation was in creased to $2,000,000 annually, and this was the amount of aid extended by the state for two years, when in 1891 the friends of the common schools were successful through agitation in having the annual appropriation Increased to $3,000,000. MORE THAN ANY OTH"H STATE. "This is a larger amount," says tho governor,' "than is appropriated by any other state in our great country for tho support of common schools, and it was very generally supposed that no fur ther attempt to Increase It would bo made. In 18!n, however, a bill was in troduced into the legislature which au thorized and required directors to fur nish free text books to the pupils in our common schools. At that time a very large number of the districts throughout the state did not provide free text books for the pupils. 'The in troduction of free text books necessar ily involved the expenditure of large sums of money, and the friends of the measure succeeded in securing an addi tional $.")00,000 for this purpose. Fol lowing the3e precedents each succeed ing legislature has appropriated $3,- 500.000 annually for the support of the common schools. "It must not be forgotten," continues the governor, "in this connection that the appropriation of Co. 500, 000 does not include the appropriitions made for the maintenance and support of our or phan schools, norn:ftl schools and ex penses incident to the support of the department of publie instruction, the payment of salaries of county superin tendents and the appropriations made from time to timo to other worthy ed ucational institutions. Adding the ap propriations mado for the purposes last enumerated to the annual appropria tion for the support of the common schools we find that more than $6,000,- 000 are pa'd cut of the state treasury each year in support of the cause of ed ucation. When we take Into consider ation the fact that the net revenues of the state amount to little more than $ll.C00.O0O each year it will be readily seen l.cw generous the state has been In deling with the school question. PROUD OF SCHOOLS. HUT EM OAR RASSED.. "The:;c large and magnificent appro priation.1; to the common schools have gone ( ii from year to year until our trcbismy is left in a condition of finan cial embarrassment and we are now confronted with the practical question whether or not we can continue to make the.;e appiopriuti-jns without se rioiis'.y Effecting the credit of the com- monweaitn. l p.m prouu ct our com mon schof;' system and in betterment of our sch ols.

I urged this both privately and publicly upon different occasions, but the legislature has adjourned without providing any additional revenue ex cept possibly an increase estimated at $200,000 per annum after the first year tinder the nev mercantile tax law. The appropriations will amount to as much, if not more, than the estimated reve nues of the next two years. On the 1st of June but a few weeks hence the wholo appropriation of $5,500,000 for the year ending at that time will bo due. no part of which has yet been paid. At that time there will not be a million dollars in the treasury to meet this obligation. In view of this finan cial condition it seems to me unwise to accumulate one appropriation upon another when there are no funds with whieli to pay them. I have carefully examined the general appropriation bill, as well as other appropriation bills, and have in every Instance with held my approval from items where I felt Justified in so doing. In this way I have reduced the appropriations made by the legislature and withheld my approval of bills amounting in round numbers to $500,000." Ml'ST PRESERVE STATE CREDIT "It is my desire to pay the obliga tions of the state which have been heretofore made, and which it is hon orably bound to pay, to relieve tho present embarrassment of the treas ury nnd preserve the credit of tha state. No fair minded nnd Impartial citizen will justify me in approving arprcpriatlon bills in excess of the unpaid appropriations mado by prior legislatures and tho estimated revenues of the state for the two fiscal years next following. "During the four years for which the people have honored me with the ex ecutive office I hope by economy and care, even in the absence of additional revenue, to see these unpaid appro priations liquidated and the stalo placed upon a sound financial basis. A state, like an individual, cannot con tinue to pay out year. by year more than It receives and remain in a sol vent condition. My purpose is to pay all appropriations made by the present legislature which receive executive ap proval, and liquidate at least one and a half million dollars of the obligations remaining from former legislatures during the next two years. In order lo do this I am compelled to reduce the appropriation to tho common sehool3 $500,000 a year, amounting to a mil lion dollars in two years, which, added to the $500,000 obtained by reducing other npnroprlations of the legislature of 1899, will enable the auditor gen eral and state treasurer to reduce what would be called the floating debt $1,500,000 during tho next two years. In my judgment the stal? should pay its pre-existing debts, incurred under the sanction and authority of law, be fore it assumes ne burdens which it is Impossible to pay. 'The authority of the governor to disapprove part of an item is doubted, but several of my predecessors in office have established precedents by with holding their approval from part of an item nnd approving other parts of tho snmo item. Following these precedents. and believing that the authority wnicn confers the right to approve the whole of an Item necessarily Includes the power to approve part of the simeitem. I therefore approve or so mnoti or tins item which appropriates $;i.000,ooo an nually, making $10,000,000 for the two years beginning June 1, 1S09. and with holding my approval from $500,000 an nually, making $1,000,000 ror tne two fiscal years beginning the first day of June. 1899." The covernor has also vetoed a num ber of items in the general appropria tion bill providing payment for salaries of state officials and legislative em ploves that he regards a3 unnecessary, end he gives a death blow to a number of schemes to cover expenses of certain pet institutions and projects of some of the members of the legislature. The Democratic leaders throughout the state are feliciting themselves upon the fact that they may get a place on the bench of the superior court at the coming election, as well as upon that ot the supreme court, of which later they are practically assured. This U made possible by a bill enacted by the last legislature. The purpose of this is to give representation on tho su perior bench to the minority party when two or more judges are to bo elected. The same stipulation in the law ap plies tu the supreme court, in whlcn two vacancies will occur to be filled in November. One of these will go to tho Republicans as the majority party, and the second will probably be filled by the Democrats. On the superior court bench only one vacancy will oc cur by the expiration of the term of Justice Beeber, appointed by Governor Hastings to succeed the lato Justic9 Reeder. Superior Court Justice Peter P. Smith, of Lackawanna, is among tho Democratic candidates for the supremo court nomination. If nominated ho would resign from the place he now holds on the superior court bench, and this would make a second vacancy ii the latter court, which, in view of the recent legislation, would give the Democratic party an opportunity V) elect a member of this court. The friends of Justice Smith are particu larly pleased over this new condition, as they feel that it greatly strength ens the chances of their favorite. Hare Hunting;.
