Nosk of the military prophet saw the
present plight of the BritUh unless it was
Oom Paul. lie promised to "stagger hu
manity" aud has kept bis word.
New York exportors say the Trans
vaal laid on twice as much Hour as usual
last year aud enormous stores of jerked
beef, cereals and canned meats. The
world is ready to believe that Boer prep
aration was thorough in all respects.
Japan pot only favois the open door,
but has decided to exempt Christian
churches from taxation. The people of
that country have been apt pupils during
the comparatively few years that have
passed since they were a hermit nation.
The fifb annual Convention of the
Pennsylvania State Association of School
Directors will be held in the ball of the
Uouse of'Representatives at Harrisburg,
Feb. Hth and 15th, IfOO. Addresses will
be delivered by Dr. X. C. SchaetTer, Dr.
Henry Houck, Gov. Win. A. Stone and
many directors and superintendents from
all parts of the Slate.
Tuk steamer Lucauia, which sailed
Irom New York on the 10th of Dec car
ried the heaviest list of postal money or
ders payable in foreign coi nlries ever
sent out of the United States. They ag
gregated about ?2,500,000, and r- present
only one week's orders, but that week
the heaviest of the year. The money was
practically all from the servant aud la
boring ciass of foreign birth who were
sending Christmas gifts to their families
and relatives at home.
Therk is every indication that the Re
publicans of ihe Venango-Warren-Mc-Kean
district will nominate Congress
men Sibley as their candidate this year, a
largely signed call from Iraln township,
Venango county, having brought from
Mr. Sibley a letter of willingness to be
come their candidate. Mr. Sibley has
strongly supported the administration
during hh brief stay in Congress, and
believes it to be the duty of every voter,
who prefers the welfare of all classes of
citizenship to mere partisan success, to
do likewise. In other words Mr. Sibley
has returned to his first love, where he
must surely feel greater comfort.
Lkyps, the Transvaal representa
tive in Europe, is undoubtedly coriect in
bis assertion that neither England nor bis
own country Is yet ready to ask for me
diation. The war will continue until one
or the other of the combatants is beaten
much worse than England ha' been thus
far. It Is unfortunate for the world that
this conflict cannot be stopped now. It
was unfortunate that the war ever began
Mediation, however, with the beligerents
in their present mood, would be an im
peitinence. From the present indica
tions the struggle is s'lll far from being
near its end. The United States regrets
the fact, but can do nothing to change it.
Thk death of Mrs. Annie Wittenmeyer,
at her home, Sanatoga, Pa., on th 2d
Inst., conies as a shock to a very large
6. rule of admirers not only in Pennaylva-
nia, but in almost every portion of the
Union. Few women were better known
in philanthropbic circles than Mrs. Wit
tinmeyer, almost her whole life being
spent in that line. She entered the hos
pilal servl- e of tho Union army in April,
1861, and served until November, 25,
18C5, ministering tolhedyingand wound
ed on many battlefields. It was she who
Inaugurated the movement for the sol
diers' home at Davenport, la., and she
was prominent in establishing the Penn
sylvania Soldiers' Memorial home, of the
board of management of which she was
many years president. Sue seived as
national president of the Woman's Relief
Corps of Ohio the Woman's Relief Corps
of the Grand Army of the Republio and
chiefly through her efforts the national
home founded by this organization was
secured. For five years she was presi
dent of the National W. C. T. U. and was
one of the most active mnmbers of that
body. Mrs. Wittenmeyer was well
known to tho ladles of Tionesta where
the has addresst-d meetings in the cause
ol temperance.
Anent Dr. Ililllt on the
War.
Boer-British
The Rev. Newell D.vight Hillis, D. D.
pastor of Plymouth Church (Beecher's)
is an ardent British sympathiser in the
present conflict, and this is his line of ar
gument by which he reaches this post
tion :
"In order to determine where the syra
patny or enlightened Christrin men
should go Dr. llillis finds himself asking
questions like these: The victory of
which side would mean most for the
lumie and dnmstic institutions ? Which
nation cares most for the school house
and the college? Which would do niOMt
to stieniilhen the newspsper, the maga
zine and the book? Which cures most to
liuhtcn the burdens ot the common peo
pie, l. as the highest ideal for labor and
will do most to advance civiliz .tion?
Dr. Hillis has evidently forgotten there
is such a thing as justice and individual
rights in human society, and argues
along the line of the Iniquitous dot-trine
that "the end lustifies the means."
I have several neighbors. One of them
has heaps of money but he keeps it
stored away. He will not use it for his
own comfort nor allow it to enter th
channel of legitimate circnlation. lie is
a miser. But this gold belongs to the
world and the world has a right to it.
What is to be done? Dr. Hillis, myself,
and a few other like broad-mldded, phil
anthropic men, sweep down upon him,
take it away and give it to the world (af
ter it has first passed through our pock
ets). This is commercial enterprise and
progress.
I have another neighbor who owns a
farm on which is a large coal vein which
be refuses to open. This must not he.
lie says be owns it, has paid lor it, and
there are plenty more to be had all
around. But the "burdens of the com
mon people must be ligetened." So we
take up our Krag-Gonrensons and march
to his place and put him out of the way.
Of course his vife and children and
friends may object to this but they will
have to suffer a similar fate. Sucn a lit
tle tliijig as that dare not stand in the
way of the advance of civilization.
whic. be keeps up for the sake of
fie "dear people," where they may have
a safe place to deposit their surplus cash.
Ue also loans money, but charges six,
seven, or eight percent on short loans,
Now Dr. llillis and I think money is
not worth over five and one half percent.
In order that the burdens or the oppress
ed people may be lightened we drive my
neighbor out of the business, confiscate
his property, and hire him as book-keeper
or janitor.
My fourth neighbor U a rather shiftless
sort of fellow who does not run his farm
according to the latest improved granger
jSatent methods, as adopted by the Forest
County Farmers' Institute. The needs
of tue world demand a stridor economy
in his work. Dr, llillis and I, being sol f
appointed judges of alllhings, very kind
ly offer our assistanao as chief directors
of the farm, emphasizing our offer with
the gleam vt bayonets and the rattle of a
few duui-dum bullets.
We are iu favor ot the school, the col
lege, the county paper, and any old mag
azine that comes along. We're It.
The Shooting of Goebel.
Assassination is murder. It is
hoped that the criminal who made
bel his target In Frankfort will be
identified aud suffer the ponalty
to be
pre-
soi ibed by law. It has been evident for
some time to friends of order throughout
this conutry that an extremely danger
ous situation exists in Kentucky. In
every county men are heavily armed, and
under such circumstances trouble may
ocur at any moment. A few days ago
there was a desperate sheeting affray in
Frankfort, in which bystanders not con
cerned in the quarrel were the heaviest
sufferers. The cause of tho increasing
excitement in Kentucky is apparent to
all. An impression widely prevails in
the state and outside ot it, that an at
tempt U on foot to deprive its citizens of
fair elections, to take away the right to
choose their true representatives at the
ballot box. Goebel has headed this
movement and has been pressing it
steadily to a consumatton through the
Legislature. Ue was the recognized leader
n this plan through all successive stages,
rom the convention that divided his own
party to the proceedings o the present
boards of contest, and the recent daily
transfer of legislative credentials from
the opposite party to his own.
That bloodshed should result in a state
like Kentucky, where the carrying of
arras is general and the crisis one of the
gravest the state has ever known, is not
surprising. That it should take the form
of attempted assassinatiod is especially
deplorable. All violence due to super
heated political feeling is deplorrble,
Something must be more than ordinarily
wrong in Kentucky when such deeds are
committed. Is it not time for the sober-
minded, prudent and honorable elements
or the state to take suitable action to pro
vent matters from being even worse than
they are? Undoubtedly, a majority of
Kentuckians believe In and support the
soverignty of the ballot. Such a question
can never be essentially partisan. An
honest verdict by the voters is at the ba
sis of all parties, and the ballot box can
never be struck down except by conspir
ators. The solid people of the state, regard'
less of party, ought to exert themselves
to quiet tbe prevailing excitement, and
the way is to convince citizens that no
invasion ot their rights as voters is pro
posed. That will, instantly dispel the
signs of htorm.
The crime by which Goebel was struck
down is symptomatic of conditions that
have been growing worse for months.
few days ag.i a body ot armed men arriv
ed in Frankfort to present a protest,
They came at their own instance and
were eventually persuaded to return
home. In the petition they framed and
handed in they said to the Legislature
"We implore them that they uo not, on
slight or tecbinal pretexts nor for flimsy
or trivial causes, permit the subversion
ol that supreme law of the land, the will
of the people.' Every Kentuckian who
believes that subversion of this nature
is intended should strive to the utmost
to persuade his representatives to go no
further in a course of revolution that
simply startling. The wonder is th
buch a petition should have been written
as the last resort tor justice. There are
courts in Kentucky, there is a state gov
ernment inaugurated after the most
searching tests of the popular vote had
been made by boards of the opposite
party. Surely, Kentuckians should find
some peaceful, upright way to calm the
agitation that prevails, to reassure the
people who think their liberties are
threatened and to prevent the spilling
another drop of blood in this strange and
tragic form of politics.
The Farmers' Institute.
The farmers' institute held In the court
bouse last Friday and Saturday proved to
be a verv successful and beneficial gath
ering of the tillers of the soil of this sec
tion. Tne meeting was called to order
by Hon. C. A. Randall, who presided
throughout the two days' session, Pray
er was offered by Rev. N. B. Critchfleld
who also responded to the address of wel
come that was so ably delivered by R. C.
Heath of Starr, and who was generously
complimented on bis effort.
Hon. J. B. Phelps was the first to ad
dress the institute on the question ol "in
creasing and maintaining fertility," and
while his talk was short it was certainly
to the point. The subject of Lime was
discussed by Dr. Win. Frear, who wa at
home on this as well as all subjects on
which be spoke. Mr. Critcbflleld talked
intelligently on Cultivated Crops, and
the afternoon meeting adjourned.
At 7:30 the Institute was again called to
order and a song rendered, Onward
Marching. The question box was open
ed and a number of Interesting topics
were discussed. Mr. T. F. Ritchey gave
very Instructive talk ou the importance
of sanitary regulations in public schools.
Mrs. Palmer very pleasantly rendered
Mendelssohn's wedding inarch on the vio
lin, accompanied by Miss Lizzie Randall
on the organ. The "ideal education of
farmers' sons and daughters" was enter
tainingly discussed by Rev. C. A. Rhiel.
The "farmers' home" by Mr. Critchfleld
was ably handled, and after some more
pleasing instrumental selections by Mrs,
Palmor and Miss Randall, Dr. Frear
gave a talk on "nature studies In p blic
schools." He;used a chart and showed the
work of the busy bee as an illustration.
Saturday morning session opened with
the question box and a good talk by Mr.
A.!(.t.t.l iljntfnt. na fortlll'pr
I
Mr. Phelps' talk on the management
the corn crop was very inslru?tive,and ho
verv satisfactorily answered many ques
tions relation to the subject. Mr. Ciitch-
fleld gave a good lecture on "plowing of
the wicked, or wicked plowing," and
then bid good-bye to friends, his pres
ence being needed elsewhere in institute
work. The question box was ag.iin
brought into requisition, and S. D. Ir
win, Esq., took a prominent part In the
discussion.
At the Saturday afternoon session
many questions were asked, among oth
ers -how to prevent c!nbroot iu cabbage?
Dr. Frear's Idea was to disenfect, or
change of ground. Is Kemp's manure
spreader any good? Yes. How can
Kid, solid roads be made In sandy bot
tom? Ky putting In stone, or hauling
some substan. e on top and packing dowu
by the use of wide tires on your wagons.
The matter of Forestry was abiy disouss
od by Mr. Irwin, who gave very many
hits as to how forests might be reclaim
ed, and urged farmers to give more at
tention to planting trees tor ornament as
well as usefulness. On the same line
Mr. T. D. Collins talked entertainingly
on the great benefits to public roads by
having them properly shaded. Dr. Frear
gave a good talk on the economy of cattle
food, showing how, by understanding
lie's business, the greatest good could
come fiom the least expenditure of mon
ey and vexation.
The evening session begin by a nice
song, and the question box revealed the
fact that many important questions of
use to farmeis were revolving in the
mindsof those present. A large number
was ably answered by Dr. Frear and Rev,
T. A en. ine regular program was
taken up, and a number of most excel
lent essays wvre read, which were alien
tively received and generously applaud
ed. Tho first was one by Miss Lizzie
Barken, ider. an old subject Refoini in
the Home, Home Life on the Farm by
Miss Ida Ledebur. The inconvenience of

tanceto me unnu s r utin e L,ite, py miss
bio A. Morrison. 1 he program was inter
spersed with Instrumental music by Mrs
Palmer and Miss Randall, who we're fre-
ouentlv encored. Dr. Frear broocht the
fifth annual institute to a close with a few
well chosen remarks, encouraging the
farmers and others to go on with the
work so well begun in their institutes,
and make each succeeding one an im
provement on the last. Mr. George
Zuendel very satisfactorily acted as Meo
retary of the meeting.
