FLINN IS AGAIN HAILED AS LEADER The Pittsburg Boss Starts Out to Carry Country Districts For Insurgents. HIS METHODS DENOUNCED. Ill ronina as Reformer Are Rldl rnlril and Ilia Platform Call of Al liance With Democrat When HI Sniiportera Are Defeated by Regis lar Repuhlipau. (Special Correspondence.) Harrtsburg, Feb. 6. In view of the recent revelations in Pittsburg It has been the orcaslon of much comment that William Flinn, the boss of the political machine of that city, should he again brought to the front as the western leader of the Republican in surgent forces. It was assumed by many that Flinn would "take to the woods,"or at least maintain a discreet silence for a while. The story of the disgraceful exhibition In which he fig ured, in the wholesale discharges of competent clerks from official positions in Pittsburg to make room for poli ticians whose appointments would strengthen his machine, was read with feelings of disgust by many. Flinn started out to pack these offices with his henchmen and soemed to disregard entirely tne many years of faithful services of those whose official decapi tations he demanded. The fact that the discharged men were Republicans did not Influence him in the slightest. He wanted their places for subservient precinct carriers and the old, faithful men had to walk the plank. And this is the type of politician who proposes to lead a movement for "re form" in Pennsylvania. FLINN STARTS IN AGAIN. Dispatches from Pittsburg tell of the purpose of Flinn to at once take up the matter of recruiting Republicans who can be gotten into line in oppo sition to the regular Republican or ganization. He was been assigned to look after certain counties in the western section of the state, and the statement is made that he will at first try to capture nominations for the leg islature at the Republican primary election. Where he falls to win out the program is to form an alliance with the Democrats who regard Guffey as their leader, and seek to defeat the regular Republican candidates at the general election. These fusion move ments are to be carried on after the plan of the last effort In this direc tion, though the outlook for success cannot be regarded as particularly bright. It Is known that many Re publicans who were in touch with the old Independent movement have since recognized the fact that the opposition to the regular party organization la mainly from men who have been dis appointed in seeking office or who are actuated by a desire for revenge. They have witnessed the combinations made with the Democrats and recognized the fact that the success of the Re publican party is a secondary consid eration with many of the men who are affiliated with the insurgent move ment. Flinn's coming to the front again. at this time, is hailed with delight by the regulars, as they believe that the more the people reflect upon the lead ershlp of Flinn and Martin the greater will be their contempt for the whole insurgent outfit. HEALTHY STATE FINANCES. The work of the accounting officers of the commonwealth can best be shown in the fact that during the month JusJ ended the total receipts from all sources have been $2,707, 641.63. The largest amount collected prior in any one month by the com monwealth was In June, 1895, when $2,649,209.27 was taken in. This shows a difference of $38,432.42 in favor of the present accounting officers of the state. This Is an unfair comparison, however, as the mouth of January, 1899, would be a fair average of what has been taken in during that month in the past ten years, when $723,533.22 was collected from oil rources. This enormous increase, of course, is due in part to the prosperous condi tions existing with all manufacturers and corporations, but a great deal of it is due to the zeal and diligence of the auditor general, Major Levi G. Mc- Cauley, and state treasurer, James S, Beacom, in delving into the delinquent records of the auditor general's office and uneBrthing taxes that should have long since been paid, and it can be fairly said to the credit of the present accounting officers that they have worked together in unison and har roony that have resulted to the good of the state to an extent In excess of any of their predecessors. hONEST "JOE" SIBLEY. The speech by "Honest Joe" Sibley in congress last week has attracted widespread attfntion. Throughout Pennsylvania it has had a wonderful effect in opening the eyes of the Democrats to the narrow policies of the Bryanites who count upon the sup port of the Pennsylvania Democratic organizption under Guffey to help along the movement to renominate Bryan. Sibley refuses to be taken into the Bryan camp or to follow Guffey in his mad chase for the United States senator-ship Congressman Sibley said he believed the United States were de signed to carry the arts of peace and the story of the cross to the remotest corners of the globe. He appealed to the Democratic side to come back to the teachings of the Democratic fath era. Expansion had been fathered and advocated by Jefferson, Jackson, Polk and Buchanan. "Only cowards oppose It, Buchanan said," and he was the last Democratic president we have had." The Nicaragua canal should be fcullt and the subsidy bill to encourage American shipping passed. If this administration," he went on, 'shall surrender the Philippines he historian of the future who extols Jefferson. Madison.

Shall we haul down that flag whose waving stripes bespeak the red sacri fice and the white of purity, and whose silver stars shining In the field of blue afe an aspiration and an inspiration to all that is noble in life and benefi cent in government?" There is no doubt that Sibley has a large following in the Keystone state among both Democrats and Republi cans who believe in the sincerity of the man and who admire his Inde pendent spirit. VINDICATION FOR REIKI party. Republican District Attorney Se cures Convictions in Ballot Fraud Cases. DEMOCRATIC GUNS SPIKED. Philadelphia Republican Officials) Mare the Coulilrnre of the People and Do Siot acquire to Stuff Ballot Boxen to Win Klvctlona. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Feb. 6 A prompt vin dication of the Republican organiza tion of this city was given in court within the last few days In the success of the efforts of the Republican dis trict attorney of Philadelphia in nis prosecution of the men accused of fraud at the last election. Three men who were arrested upon a charge of conspiracy to make a false count and false return at that election were found guilty after a most sensational trial. The accused made a determined defense, and had It not been lor tne persistence and untiring zeal of Dis trict Attorney Rothermel It Is quite possible that there would at least have been a disagreement of the Jury. In view of the efforts of the Democrats and their Republican Insurgent allies to make political capital out of this case by charging the corruption at the polls against the Republican organiza tion, the course of the district attorney throughout the trial was careiutty ioi lowed by his fellow citizens. He ha I all the resources of the Ashnriage ad ministration at his command to aid him In procuring testimony and getting his witnesses on hand. ROTHERMEL'S GREAT WORK. In order that there might be no hitch in the preliminary work before the grand jury the district attorney went into court, obtained an order for the annointment of a commissioner before whom the ballot box was open ed, and evidence was procured which left no doubt of the character of the frauds that were perpetrated. The trial then followed, and step by step Mr. Rothermel pressed his case until he came to his closing argument, which was a masterly effort. The Jury was out but a short time when a verdict of guilty was returned, and thus was the most emphatic refutation possible given to the charge that these frauds were committed at the Instance of leaders of the Republican organization. Testimony elicited at the trial of the case fully sustained the statement that the character of the population In the precinct in which the frauds took place the heart of the slum districts made It quite probable that the frauds were concocted for personal advantage of some of the heelers In that locality. One of the Democratic candidates was run ahead of his ticket by over one hundred and fifty votes in this precinct. The fact that the Republican ticket hart practically a walkover at that election in this city removed any incentive for the Republican party leaders to resort to fraud to help along their party's candidates. Since the conviction of the men ar rested In the Fifth ward there has been less talk by the Democrats and the so called reformers atralnst the Republi can organization. They know that the people are fully aware of the fact that District Attorney Rothermel Is an or ganization Republican, that he has never been accused of opposing the Republican ticket, and that his Inter ests and sympathies are all with the regular Republican organization. It is believed that the result of this trial will go a great way toward remov ing the false Impression that has been left upon the minds of some that the Republican organization of the Ouaker City is enabled to win its splendid vic tories at the polls only by the aid of Improper means and illegal methods at the lections. ASIIBRIDGE A GOOD MAYOR. Philadelphia is a Republican city, and its municipal government Is as honestly managed as is that of any large city In the country. It Is true that In the past there have been things done which should not have been done, but unoer tne present administration the people have found no cause for complaint. Mayor Asbbridge has made an efficient and progressive chief exec utive officer and the taxpayers have confidence In his administration. The report of City Treasurer Mc- Michael, Just made public, makes a gratifying showing. The total cash balance at the close of the year of the combined deposits of the city's money in banks Is reported to have been $10 035,032.05. The treasurer says: "The receipts of moneys from all sources which came to the department of city treasurer during the year ending Dec, 31, 1899, amaunted to $39,389,764.04. The disbursements of this department for the same period aggregated $34, 633,481.29. It is a deserved testimony to the integrity and accuracy of the "After doctors failed to cure me of pneumonia I used One Minute Cough Cure and three i.ottles of it cured me. It is also the best remedy on earth for whooping cough. It cured my grand children of the worst cases," writes John Borry, Loganton, Pa. It is tho only harmless remedy that gives Immediate results.

Barbe, Mendota, Vt., says, "No h inir did me so much good as Kodol Dys pepsia Cure. One done relieved me, a lew bottles cured me." It digests what you eat and always cures dyspepsia. employes of the department that In the handling of these vast sums. In paper money, in coin and in checks, drafts and warrants there has not been an error, a loss or a misplacement, even, to the value of one cent." UNJUST CRITICISM. The treasurer enters at length Into the financial relations of the city and the state, and asserts that much criti cism of the state tor failure to moke prompt payments is unfounded. He points to the fact that Interest on de posits of city funds is regularly collect ed and says that by this system the city has been enriched more than $1. 000.000 since July 1. 1S92. He shows that interest is now required on all deposits made through the city treas urer, and that every dollar in his of ficial custody is made to yield an in come. The debts and resources of the citr are treated aa follows: The net debt of the city of Philadelphia on Jan. 1, 190u, amounted to J3S.6s6.513.13. Addition al loans have been constitutionally au thorized by the vote of the citizens to the extent of $17,600,000. A part of the available assets of Philadelphia is property belonging to the city valued at $57,353,974. In addition to this there Is In Philadelphia assessable real es tate officially estimated at the enor mous total of $S79,293,355, subject to unlimited taxation for municipal pur poses. PUSHING CONVENTION PLANS. Mayor Ashbridge has gotten the Republican national convention project out of a pretty bad tangle, and there la now no doubt that the arrangements for the convention will be entirely satisfactory. He has appointed a com mittee of 100 representative citizens who will take hold of the matter of raising funds and who will generally supervise the plans for the conven tion. The association which started out with the work became involved in controversies and it became necessary for the mayor to step in and right matters. This he has done, and in a short time work will be begun upon the convention hall to remodel the building according to the plans that have been approved by Republican Na tional Chairman Hanna. Philadelphia is preparing to enter tain many thousands of visitors dur ing the week which will be devoted to the convention, and there is every rea son to believe the visitors will all go away well pleased with the city and impressed by her hospitality. There will be thousands of visitors Trom the various counties of this state and the Republican club men are preparing to show due courtesy to all active Re publicans who will participate in the convention or who will accompany the several delegations. President J. Hampton Moore, of the State League of Republican clubs, who has been placed at the head of the local Republican club organization, is working night and day getting the various clubs in line to do their share of the entertaining of the visitors. BEAUTIFUL KILLARNEY. It Takes Three Days to "Do" Its At tractions Thoroughly. A certain tourist who was doing all the sights of the Holy Land with painful ear nestness was scandalized to Foe an Amer ican arrive one afternoon, hu.ry round nil the sacred places and make ready to de part betimes on the morrow. He ventured to inquire of this bustling traveler why, having come so far, he rushed away so quickly. "Sir." replied the lunkec, "I am timed to do Europe in a fortnight. I hare thrown in the Holy Laud, nud if I stay here longer than one night I cannot see Killarney, which takes three days." That American had been well advised. Energetic, bustling tourists have endeav ored to see nil the beauties of the place in one day, ami, though they have been de lighted nud overwhelmed by what they saw, they have not been able to restrain a pang of regret at the thought of what they had missed. Killarney, if not in itself at least by description, is known the world over and has a great reputation to ni.intain, but, unlike many other places of renown, it does not belie it. The lakes of Killarney may not prove to be quite as the stran ger anticipated, but the Impression he carries away is none the less one of pro found admiration nud wonder. The par ticular charm which inwrnps him is that of the peaceful loveliness nud serenity of the whole, and this strikes home with in creased conviction after passing by the waterway from the upper to the lower lake. The former sheet of water, envel oped as it is by rugged peaks and gloomy, unclothed mountains, ennnot vie with the lower lake, whose magnitieent stretch of silver waves is fringed and caressed by foliage ami trees, by rich meadows and sweet smelling blooms, while the rugged outlines of the wild hills is softened by the purple haze, nnd space Is lost in an Infinity of graceful undulations. The boat ride from the far edge of the upper lake to the ruins of Ross castle is an experi ence which cannot be described. It must be enjoyed, and rest assured it will linger in the memory to the last day. Loudon Times. There is no better medicine for the ba bies than Chamberlains Cough Remedy.
