WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29. ISM.
Edi ok Smitu of the Tunxsutawney
V(iin announces in his last issue that be
will be candidate lor Congrtss in his
district. This ought to be enough said to
the people ol that bailiwick to secure him
the nomination. Ilia eight years' expo
rience in legislative work at Harrisburg,
coupled with bis many other capabilities
would come powerful handy to the con
stituents of the -lt district.
Thk following extract relating to Penn
sylvania is taken from the annual report
of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow : There are 208 Presidential
postofllee in the State. 103 fourth-class
postoffices were established during the
past ytar, making the total ofllces of this
class in Pennsylvania 4,008, the State
ranking first in the Union in number of
these offices. The gross receipts of all
the offices of the State were fs, 108,078.77.
The death of Vice President Ilobart
ha led to considerable discussion and
some misunderstanding about the Presi
dential succession. In case of the inabil
ity of both the President and Vice Pres
dent to ssrre, a member of the cabinet in
the following order, ac:s in the capaoity
of President: Secietary of Stato, Secre
tary of the Treasury, Secretary of War,
Attorney-General, Postmaster-General,
Secretary ol the Navy, Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture.
If, during tho next twenty-five years,
Great Britain looses her trade as rapidly
as she bus during the quarter of a cen
tury from IS70 -to 1805, she will have
yielded her primacy as the greatest of the
world's commercial powers. If, in the
quarter of a century ending in 1024, the
same industrial progtes is held by the
United Slaiei as has marked the closing
years of the present century, the United
States will lead the world in export trade,
with Germany second and Great Britain

T.tK famous Warwick farm ofolO acres
In Warwick township, Chostor county'
t as been sold for f 1,000. On this proper
ty the old Warwick furnace, probably
the first to make Iron In the United
States, was put into blast about the year
1730, and here many of tho cannon used
by the patriotic army In the Kevoluiion
were cast. In the meadows pieces of ord
nance lie buried, having been thus se
creted to prevent them from falling into
the hands of the British In the battle of
Brandy wine in 1777,whon General Wash
ington and his army were retreating
northward through Chester county, leav
ing the furnace exposed to the mercy of
the enemy.
The Death or Ilobart.
For the sixth time in the history of the
government a Vice President has died in
office. By a strange fstality the Vice
Presidents whom death removed before
t o end of their term were among the
most prominent and potent of the per-
sonages who havo held the second office.
George Clinton and Elbridge Gerry, the
former of whom was Vice President dur
ing part of the time when Jefferson and
Madison were Presidents, and the latter
of whom was In the second office for
awhilo during Madison's second presi
dential term, were among the leading
spirits in the Deinocratio party of their
timo. William R. King, who was elected
with Pierce, had far greater ability and
political experience than the man on the
head of his ticket, and the same could be
said of Thomas A. Hendricks, who died
in the liist year or his service, and of the
servico of President Cleveland, while
Henry Wilson, who died in the second
office during Grant's second presidential
toi m, was one or the founders of the Re
publican party.
Garret A. Hobart gave to the ollice of
the vice presidency a prestige and a po
tency which it has lacked since the ear
lier days of tho govei ntnont. Coming to
the offi.-e without any poliiical experi
ence except what ho had gained in hold
ing posts in the Legislatur of his Slate
he quickly displayed an ability and a
discrimination which made him a potent
force in the politics of his party, and in
the aft'tirs ol the country. The relations
between Mr. McKinley and Mr. Ilobart
were more cordial than those subsisting
between any other President and Vice
President in the country's history except
between Jackson and Van Buren, the
latter being the second officer during
Jackson's second term. Mr. Hobart wns
consulted frequently ,y President Mc
Kinley on Important matters of publio
policy, and be was taken into the coun
cils of the Republican leaders ol the Sen
ate and House. The Judgment of John
Adams, the earliest of the Vice Presi
dents, that this was "the most Insignifi
cant office ti.e mind of man contrived or
his imagination conceived," was ory far
from being true in the case of Adjiim'
latest successor.
The influence in tho management of
public affairs which Hobart exerted, in
deed, is likely to make the vice presi
dency hereafter more attractive to am
bitious men than it bus been since the
early days of the government, when it
was considered a stepping-stone, by elec
tion to the presidency. Webster indig
nantly refused to allow his name to be
considered in connecton with the vice
presidency in the Whig convention of
1848, but if he had been nominated to
that post by his party that year he would
have been Prisident about two years and
two thirds, Taylor dying in office about
a year and four mouths aftor his inau
guration. There are possibilities for a
Vice rresidunt to impress himself on
politics which ought to be kept In mind,
even though nobody holding that post
has been elected Presidont since Van
Buren, two-thirds of a century ao. In
lact, Adams, who said the vice presidency
was insignificant, hud through tho fre
quency of ties in the Senate, very nearly
as much sway over legislation as was
exercised by Presidont Washington.
With a Senate more than three times as
large as it was at the beginning of the
government, however, equal divisions on
votes come omparatively seldom now.
Tho experience of Garret A. Hobart
proves that Vice President, if a man of
ability, knowledge and tact, can win rep
utation for himself and be useful to bis
country. GloooDetnocrat.
StuLZZ- A IhLb LA.Hi
Favors Mckinley's Poller and Will Not
Stick to Democratic iHxtrlne.
Washington, Nov. 25. Representa
tive Joseph Sibley, of the Twenty-seventh
Pennsylvania district, who was
elocted to Congress last year over Hon.
Charles W, Stone, Republican, baa ar
rived in Washington with his family lor
the a inter. In conversation with a rep
resentative of the Lender to-day Mr. Sib
ley intimated very strongly that he was
uo longer in sfict accord with the Dem
ocratic party in all issues, and intended
to vote as bis conscience dictateson ques
tions ol vital interest to the country's
walfare regardless of past or present po
litical affiliations.
Mr. Sibley will caucus with the Demo
cratic party on the question of selecting
candidates for the empty honor of speak
er, clerk, door-keeper and sergeant-alarms,
of the bouse. He will not be bound
to any political policy the caucus may
adopt, however, and will act independ
ently on all questions w.iich may come
up in the house,
"I have uo p )iticil ambition and am
free to act i.s my concience dictates," he
said.
Mr. Sibley will support Representative
Sulzer, of New York for the Democratic
caucus nomination for speaker.
Ii will be recalled that Mr. Sibley was
the original ree silver man in the Penn
sylvania delegation in the Flty-tbird
Congress, and creatod a sensation iu the
House by his speech against the repeal of
tho Sherman purchasing act ol the extra
session of that Congress. When Br an
was nominated for President at Chicago
in IS00, Mr. Sibley was offered the vice
presidential nomination, but declined it.
"Will you support the administ atiou
in its colonial policy regarding Cuba and
the Philippines T" MrSibley was asked.
"Most assuredly. Every person who
has the welfare of his country at heart
ought to stand by President McKinley
until the war in the Philippines is over
and also support him in his pol cy or ter
ritorial expansion. Why, sir," said Mr.
Sibley, with some emphasts, "if Presi
dent McKinley. should adopt any other
policy in the future than he has been
pursuing since the beginning of the war
with Spain, he would go down in history
the most generally condemned President
this country ever had. What would have
happened to President Thomas Jefferson
had be listened to the clamor against, the
policy to purchase Louisiana? Would
ho to-day bo still living in the hearts of
his countrymen T I answer no. It was
the best thing that ever happened this
country that Mr. Jefferson took the bold
stand he did on the Louisiana question."
"Then you think President McKinley's
territorial policy ought to be sustained?"'
"I certainly do and if the opportunity
offers I will make a speech on the floor of
the house in support of his expansion
policy," replied Mr. Sibloy.
"Then you are not in favor of giving
independence to tho Cubans aud the Fil
ippinos?" "I am not prepared to say nt present
whether I am opposed to giving them in
dependence or not," replied Mr. Sibley.
"This is not the time to settle that ques
tion. That will come lat r and will
finally adjust itself. It is the duty of this
country to lirst bring the rebellion in
the Philippines to a hasty close and thon
establish law and order in the islands.
Attor that, if Con ;ress thinks the inhab
itants or Cuba and the Philippines are
capable of self-government it may be a
good thing to give them a trial. It's my
opinion, however, that it will b'j many
years before the Fidppinos will be capa
ble - f maintaining self-government. It
is different with the Cubans. The.y are
more intelligent than the Filippinos and
ought to become Americanized more
easily."
"It is reported Mr. Sibley, that you are
no longer entirely in sympathy with the
Democratic party on the question of fr- e
silver."
"Well, I don't know about that," re
plied Mr. Sibley. "In my opinion free
silver is no longer an issue. The great
prosperity which the country Is now en
joying ought to be evidence enough to
convince anybody that the financial pol
icy of the present administration is all
right on that ques'ion."
At this juncture of the conversation
Mr. Sibley excused himself to join his
family in a rido about the city in bis new
automobile.
During tho interview Mr. Sibley was
asked whether or not be thought Mr.
Roberts, the Mormon representative
elect from Utah, ought to be given his
seat in the house.
"Being one ol the jurors in the case,"
he said, "I must decline to answer that
question. From a constitutional stand
point, however, I wil say ttiat I do not
believe he will be seated."
It is the general opinion here that Sib
ley will vote against Roberts, although
he does not say it in Just so many words.
Pittsburg Lerder.
The transfer by Admiral Dewey of the
house presented him by popular sub
scription to his new brido and by her to
the Admiral's son has been the great
American sensation ol tlit past ten days,
and the criticisms of the great Admiral's
action havo been very severe, and very
largely uncalled for. The transfer was
perhaps a little premature. A more as
tute business man would have accom
plished the same result without the
slightest friction. It is only another evi
dence that a man may be a great naval
officer an a great diplomat, and yet rath
er clumsy in business transactions. Mr.
Dewey had in mind what he wanted to
do, and the past eighteen months haye
shown that when he had a duty to per
form or a plan to carry out he wasted no
time in tho matter. If Admiral Dewey
wished to se-.mre the succession of the
property to his son, that was his right
aud not even tho donors had a right to be
haisb in thai rcriticism much less those
who scarcely knew such a donation was
contemplated, even though he got at
the transaction a littlo awkwardly, little
suspecting thai the American people who
had just icceived him with such lavish
onthusiasm, could find it in their hearts
to turn so quickly against him for a mat
ter of such trifling account. Admiral
Dewey is just as much a hero as he ever
wns, and ir his country should again
need a great naval commander the peo
ple of the United States would rise as one
man to demand his sorvices, which would
be as cheerfully and promptly g.ven by
the distinguished Admiral. The iucid nt
is too trilling to talk about and should
be declared closed at once. Tho Ameri
can people are too easily swayed in such
matters by a mere combination of news
paper reporters aiming at Hie same object.
