In tlio meantime what lias happened to the Billy Flinnboom for State Treasurer? Havana customs receipt are 05 per cent larger than under the Weylor stylo of lookkecping. The Hoods of Texas havo wrought great ruin and the demand for relief calls for active efforts on all sides. A calamity to the army in the Philip pines would be worth something to the Democaatio party. Their hope for a lift of this kind Is likely to fade out within tho next few months. Still being without an issuo for the coining national election, why should not the Democrats take up tho cause of tho kissing bug? Habituated to advo cating almost everything that is unpopu lar, they might as well as not turn in for tho bug. Havkmeyer's chargo that the tariff is 'lie m.ithor of trusts" is solzod upon as a keynote for another raid against protec tion. If the American masses did not get enough of "tariff for revenuo only" dur ing Clovoland's socond term they ought to have some more of it. Binghampton Republican. In tho lumber counties of Pennsyl vania there is a searcity of labor and iu those whero farming is thechiofindus try difficulty in procuring hands enough to harvest the crops is beingexporienced. All of which reminds us that thoso are not the "good old Democratic days." riiila. Intjuira; Somk of tho unfortunates in Texas compelled to take refuge on high ground are not only surrounded by the flood and cut off from food, but are compelled to fight snakes and skunks that have con gregated in the samo places to escape drowning. Tho horrors of tho situation amount to an inferno. Pittsburg reports that tho usual sum mer shut down will not occur this year, as manufacturers must keep going to till orders booked. This condition of things provails very generally throughout the country. There never was a timo when so much money was being paid out in wages slid when wages wcro uniformly so satisfactory to wage earners. The end of tho century finds the United States citadel of protection, blessed as no other nation is now or ever has been blessed with abundant prosperity. The way to insure a continuance thereof is clear and plain. The mistake of 18i2 cost too much to be repeated in 1900. Little Puerto Rico intends to adver tise her coffoe in a novel and pleasing way at the National Export Exposition, to bo held in Philadelphia next fall, by giving out cupfuls of coffee to the thirsty. This method was decided upon at a meet ing of tho prominent planters of tho isl and bold at San Juan some days ago. There are about 3000planters in the island and they are dosirous of letting the world know what a superior articlo they grow. They are suro the exposition will furnish the proper medium to advertise their product. Tho intention of the Puer to Ricans is to establish a pavilliou on tno Exposition grounds and give to every visitor who wants it a cup ot excellent coiioe, served in unique native cups. A fiKSMAN memorandum just rocoi ved at Washington shows that American im ports into that country increased f42,0O0,- 000 in 18!i8. while her exports into this country diminished f 17,000,000, as com pared with the previous year. Tho bal ance of trade in our favor was $131,138, 000. Fivo years ago in the great and glorious free trado regime of Cleveland, tho balance was tho' other way. This shows where tho American shoo pincbos the German foot. Since sho has discov ered that the American can outset her in her own markets she has had a very much lower opinion of Brother Jonathan than sho eyer had before. If wo waut Germany's firm and enthusiastic friend ship, all that wo havo to do is to reverso tho balmico as it shows at present on the books. So Tariff Tinkorlnir Near or Far. The Dingley tariff, judged by its fruits, is good. Under it our home products of shop and farm increase, our exports of home manufactures incrcaso.our demand for labor increases, our rates of wages in mill ami mine tend up. Never were so many workers employed, never so much money p.iid than as now. We are told that trusts grow under it. Do they not also grow in Great Britain under free trado? When a tariff or any system works well and promises well, why not give it a long trial? When more work men at better averago wages than ever before are busy, why raiso a false and foolish cry for ''reform ?" So long as American skilled labor, witli skill growing as wages grow, Amor lean inventive genius gaining under tho inspiration of free institutions, ami Amer ieaii enterprise, tnlargcd and strengtb ened by a feeling of manly self-respeet, not possiblo in lauds whero i..an is fnore a machino and lest a man than with us, can hold us up to our present high level, the piping cry ol Sugar-maker ILive- meyer and his like can only drag us down into tho slough of despond of tho Wilson-Gorman "tariff reform." Never lot that black pleagne smite us again! Now is the time to keep our heads clear about possible Porto Rico or Cuba cur toms duties and other revenues; or about what may come to pass, all uncertain now, in Manila. Watch against all tariff tinkering trumped up out of pretended needs in our distant outposts. The Ding ley tarill'is our homo Gibralter. Let us stand free and tirm. West Hickory, Pa., June 27, lsiw. Promptly at 1:30 o'clock, p. m., June 2(5, the Fourth Auuual Convention of tho Forest Comity S.S. Association was called to order by tho President; Dr. S. S. Towl- er. The secretary being absent, T. F, Ritchev was appointed secretary pro tem, Song and praise services were led by F. R. Lauson, after which the actual work of tiio convention began. Delegates wore there from twenty-one schools in the comity. Rov. J. C. McDonald of Oil City, President of the S. S. district com posed of Venango, Warren, ElK and for est counties, Dr. Charles Rhodes, Gen eral Secretary of tho State S. S. Assoca tion, and Mrs. J. W. Barnos, State Supt. of Primary Work were present. A large attendance was kept up all the time. It would be impossible to tell all the good instructions given without taking up too much time and space. The program, which was so kiudly printed by tho papers was carried out with but few exceptions, ond they on ac count of the inability of tho persons to at tend. This program was quite long, but not a subject on it that is not of vital im portance to all S.S. workers. Thoso sub jects were handled with wonderful skill and ability by thoso appointed. After tho reading of tho paper on a subjot It was then discussed generally, and many good and useful lessons brought out. In this mannor those present mingled thoir thoughts together, each one helping the other. It was very evident that, all had come hero to Icaru moro in tho groat work of tho Sund.iy School. Mrs. Barnes is mas ter of her work. If primary classes were conducted as sho directs how much more good could bo accomplished. Dr. Rhodes never spoke but ho said some thing that would help any teacher or of-fU-cr in S. S. The Thcmo at tho head of the program, "Better and more systematic work," ap peared to be the thought that ran through out the convention. More careful organ zation, the best organizers as superin tendents, keep out of ruts, avoid same ness, let oach one in tho school know all about everything in tho school, make each scholar feel that ho is needad, the school belongs to all not to any one, not to a few, but to all. Sunday schools should bo graded as carefully as the day schools are graded. Boys and girls should be in the same class up to the ago of eight, from eight to twolve they should be sep arated and from twelve up be put togeth er again, tho plan gives t o best results. Tho question box brought out many very interesting and important ques tions. But only a few can be refearod to. "Should ministers teach in S. S ?" Dr. Rhodes answered, yes, they should teach a normal class forttio trainiugof teachers. "Are church socials right?" Ans. Yes, if for sociability and given frco, but not right if to make money. "Why do scholars quit attending S. S. when they get to be 12 or 15 years old ?'' Ans. Be cause they were not properly trained be tween tho ages of 8 and 12. Mrs. Barnes said tho best way to teach children any good lesson was to put the lesson in tho form of a stoi y. tin Tuesday night many were disap pointed in not hearing Dr. Rhodes and Mrs. Barnes as advertised on the pro gram, but notwithstanding the disap pointment there was a good livoly ses sion. Many subjects wero diseu.-sed and many good lessons lcarnrd. The subjoct, "Why should young men attend Sunday school?" was ably han dled by Dr. W. G. Morrow. Among the the many good points why they should attend 8. 8. was that, that was the best plaeo to study the Biblo aud that was tho best book to lead to success. Miss Helen G. Rumscy, from Mission Institute, Herkimer, N. Y., geve a very interesting talk on "What a S. S. teacher must be if he is to bo a soul winner." Tho following resolutions wero unan imously adopted : Whereas, This annual convention of the Forest County Sunday School Asso ciation now closing, is, and has boon, one of more than ordinary interest, profit, en thusiasm, and inspiration ; and the social feature and entertainment has been markedly of the very plcasantest charac ter; and.

Tho succoss that has char acieri.ed this meeting is due, in large measure to tho management that planned for the meeting, to the able, timely, and interesting topics presented by the Dis trict Presidont, the General Secretary, the State Superintendent of Primary Work, and to the assistance rendered by Miss Gurtrudo Rumsey ; to tho able and genial manner in which the chairman has performed the onerous duties of his position; to the preparation of music for the convention : to the unwearying ef forts of the local committee to promote the interests of tho meetings; to other sources and to others that may not be designated by what named above but meant to lie as honorably ami Kindly mentioned; and last but not least tn tiio beautiful ays and evenings upon which our convention lias lallen.
