The members of the Republican Couuty Committee of Forest County are requested to meet at the Sheriffs office, Tionesta Pa., on Saturday, Aug. 4th, 1900, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of elec ting Conferees to represent Forest County at the Republican Congressional Conference of the 28th district. Also to nominate a candidate for Coronor for Forest County. A full attendance is ear nestly desired. Q. Jamieson, Chairman. Under the Dingly tariff the customs revenue has risen from $149,000,000 to $234,000,000 a year. When Republican legislation is considered it Is only neces sary to point to the figures. Kansas Populists tell Mr. Bryan frankly that his prospect of carrying the state is poor. The Republicans not only expect to carry Kansas, but are reaching for Colorail i and Nebraska. With an additional $7,000,100 to in crease the navy, we should see some good results in that branch of the United States defense force of which the Ameri can people are so justly proud. Under McKinley prosperity the Ne braska delegation to the Democratic con vention was able to pay $100 a day for headquarters at Kansas City, in addition to paying board at a first class hotel. Within two years the 9th United Slates Infantry has fought Spaniards, Filipinos and Chinese, and traveled from east to west 10,000 miles. Service under Undo Sam has ceased to mean quiet gar rison duty. We favor expansion by evory peaceful and legitimate means. Democratic plat form. Such as the Demomratie war in New Mexico in 1846 and 1847. Bryan is the only political boss who ever dictated the platform to a national convention while in session and forced it to adopt what it disapproved by a diiect threat of declining the nomination and running on another ticket. Z. WE condemn the Dingley tariff as a trust-breeding measure. -- Democratic platform. But it did not breed "tho greedy com mercial ism" of the Democratic ice trust The calm, wise judgment of William McKinley appeals to the solid, mature element all over the country, while "Teddy" is the idol of the boys every where. The combination can't bo beat, and it already has the country going ita way. In the recent election in Oregon the Republican plurality was lu.f37 and the majority 0,100. The Portland Oreijonian says the plurality "is over five times as large as McKinley's was in 1896 and the majority more than forty times as large." The Democrats are organizing McKin ley clubs in Kansas. At one meeting it was resolved "That we prefer McKinley, Patriotism and Prosperity, to Bryan, Re. pudiation and Retrogression." The peo pie everywhere are rallying to the Re publican flag. Believing that our most cherished in stitutions are in great peril. Democratic platform. The poorhouses that were crowded during tho last Democratio admiuistra tion are, indeed, empty and going into decay. Col. Liscum, of the 9th infantry, who fell at Tien Tsin, was a veteran of the civil war and carried the scars of wounds leccived at Gettysburg and Santiago II is service, beginning with the place of corporal in a Vermont regiment, covered thirty-nine years. The record bo made as patriot and hero is a matter of pride with his countrymen. Tuk only way the Democrats know of by which to build up an American merchant uiarino is to put foreign built ships under the American flag. Repub licans want to build up American ship i.ing with American-built vessels to that we may employ our own materials aii our own labor, and keep at home the $20(1,000,000 a year we are annually pay ing to the foreign (chiefly Briiish) shipi for doing our foreign carrying. A member ol the Cabinet, in discussin the informal understanding reached the Cabinet luncheon Thursday to turn Cuba over to the Cubans as soon as tbo constitutional convention had been held. and a stable government formed, said "Everything there is satisfactory, most satisfactory. Just think of it, over $2,000, MX) balance in me treasury, inat never bappcneil before in the history of that island. And the Cubans appreciate what the United States is doing tor them to A gentleman in Kansas City lrom Texas says there are thousands and thousands of Democrats in the Lone Star State who will vote for Bryan and hope McKinley will be elected. The same is true of other Southorn States, where peo pie vote their lifelong prejudices instead of their honest convictions. In the North and West there are thousands of Demo crats with the same feeling, except that they will both hope for McKinley's elec tion and contribute their votes to bring it about. Kansas City Journal, 1st their speeches of acceptance resi dent McKinley and Governor Roosevelt both gave utierance to the same thought bicu will form tho keynote of the cam paign as follows : The President "Prosperity at home and prestige abroad." The Governor -"Prosperity at noma and honor for the flag abroad." The Kansas City Democratic platform aocuses the Republican administration of forming an alliance with Eugland which is uutrue. But the bame platform op poses legislation for the building of American ships for our foreign carrying trade, preferring to leave the business in the hands of foreign (chiefly British) ships that earn 00,000,000 a ycat that the Republicans are anxious to keep at home through the construction and em ployment of American instead of foreign ships in our ioreign carrying. Untimely Reticence. Mr. Cloveland has been beard from in the shape of an expression of regret that the platform adopted at Kausas City failed to harmonize the "discordant sen timent" in the Democratio party, Mr. Cleveland should be heard from again. He should make haste to do something more than merely manifest his grief and is surprise that the Kansas City con vention should have implicitly obeyed the orders it received from the imperial ist who sat on his porch at Lincoln and dictated the precise language in which the platlorm should declare the attitude of the Democracy on the money question. The admirers of Mr. Cleveland have a right to expect something explicit as to The Duty of Democrats." They would like to know we feel sure, whether tho great men prefers Bryan and Bryanlsui to McKinley and McKinleyism ; whether his hatred of 10 to 1, Populism, and the balance orthe revolutionary hodgepodge which goes to make up the Bryan plat form. It is up to Mr, Cleveland to speak gain. A Pusillanimous Policy. Did it ever occur to you how extremely silly is the idea of an anti-imperialistic party? There can be no smh thing as imperialism without an Emperor, and does anybody know of a single individ ual among the one hundred millions or more subjects of the United States who wants an Emperor f Upon what is this imbecilejtalk about imperialism founded ? Undoubtedly upon our possession of the Philippine Islands, which came to us through the fortunes of war, and imposed a duly upon us which we could not bon orably shirk. Even the Democratio platform declares in favor of "staple gov ornment" for the Philippines. How are they to have a staple government if the United States does not give it to them or turn them over to some other power T Is there oue intelligent and patriotic American citizen who believes that the greatest Republio known to history should not become a world power? If monarchy and imperialism are bad, why should anybody want to subject the Fil ipinos to either, when the United States wpnts to prepare them for self-govern ment and make them a part of this Re public? The idea that the United States should not take a band in the atl'airs of the world and help to shape its destinies, is coward ly and selfish. Why should we shrink and cower before the de. rees of Provi dence, and close ourselves up like an oyster? To strive, to siruggle aud to overcome, is the duty of nations as well as individuals. runx'y Spirit. What's la a Name I Had you ever thought of what's in name? There Is not much of course, but there is something. The name Republi can, for instance, carries with it a mean ing which suggests a number of good things. It bears the imprint of certain well defined principles and is a synonym for: Americanism, Confidence, Contentment, Work, Prosperity, Progress, Expansion, Fair play, Protection to American industries, Sound money, Busy factories, Busy merchants, Busy everybody, Good wages, Good will. Now what does the name of Democrat suggest or stand for ? Listen, here It is Calamity howling, Fifty-cent dollars, Anti-expansion, Bryanism, Clevelandism, Free soup houses, Free trade, Contraction, Free llcker, Bond sales in time of peace. Populism, Coxey armies, Rip Van Winkleism, Competition with pauper labor of Eu rope, More bonds, Tariff laws of "party per fid and dis honor," Titchfork Pillmonism, Tramps, Business failures, Repudiation of honest dobts. Strikes, Idle factories, Sngar scandals, More strikes, Rotten egging Populists, Courting Populists, More strikes and tramps, Mortgages and mUery, Purloining planks from Populist plat forms. Ballot box ravishing, More calamity howling. Wild cat banks aud wild-eyed Alt geldism. What's in a name, do you say? Some times a good deal. Blackfoot (Idaho) Mail. Zinc and grinding double the wear.

The Clarion JacJr.toai.in of last weok has these additional particulars concern ing the history or Joe Thomaa the col ored man : Since our last issue we received the following letter from rapt. A. W. Stiles which will be of interest to all who have been following what we have learned about Joe Thomas whose remains were lately laid away in the cemetery at this place. Ratbbo.nk, O., July 14. 1900. My Dear Sir: Your letter of the 7th Inst, and copy of your paper of the 9th inst., mailed to my brother, W. C. Stiles, Warren, O., now deceased, containing an account of the death of Joseph Thomas, has been for warded to me, received last evening. It is very sad to know that he passed away as he did. During the lact cam- sign of the Civil War I was Captain of and commanding Co., "E" 6th Ohio Vol unteer Cavelry. My brother was a duty Sergeant of Co. "A" said regiment. Soon after the surrender of Gen. Lee, at Appomattox our Cavalry, Gen. Sheri dan's corps, with two corps of infautry was ordered lrom Petersburg, Va., to North Carolina to co-operate with Gen. Sherman's army. J ust as we reached the North Carolina line, we got the newa of the surrender of the army ol Gen. John ston. Whilo out with a scouting parly n the State last referred to, my brother found Joseph Thomas, who assisted this party iu so mo of its movements. When the detachment returned to the regiment. Joseph was with it. I was in need of help and liking the appearance of Joe, I hired him. I found him to be truthful, trustworthy and very competent to do the work I re quired of him. When I was mustered out of the service, the last of June, I81S0, Joe was anxious to go north with me and I took him to my borne in Ashtabula county, 0. We found a place for him to work, soon after we got to Ohio, where he lived lor a long time. For some time he lived at Kinsman, Trumbull Co., O. He left there and I lost track of him until my brother heard from him iu 1898. We tried to get him to come back to Ohio, but be seemed to prefer remaining there. He wasanxious to learn to re d and writo and as suited in my brother's letter, my mother com- mencad to teach him to read, my brother and I assisting. He was vory faithful in this, as in anything he undertook and made good progress. My mother, Mrs. Mandana Stiles, is still living iu Austinburg, Ashtabla Co O., with all of her faculties good and will be pained to learn of Joe's death. He has told me ot his friends in North Car olina but I cannot now recall them Should you need any additional informs tion concerning him, I will be glad to aid you all t can. At one time I think Joe had some money saved up. Yours truly, A. W. Sii.es, Zinc and grinding double the wear. Letter From Alaska. W. S. Widrig was down from West Hickory one day last week and left with us a lotter from his son, who is now do Ing duty for Uncle Sam up in Alaska, The young man's friends in this section will doubtless be pleased to hear wh he has to say of that frigid region, so we give below most of the contents of his letter: I am in Alaska now. It is not so bad a place here as I thought it was going to bo. We are having lovely weather here now, it is as warm here now as I ever saw it in N. Y. State. Them aren't any roads here at all, not a sign of a horse and wagon anywhere on the island. The place where we are is on an island five miles from the main land. There are lots of native Indians bore. They live in tents and hunt and fish for a liv ing. We are living in tents now. We have floors in them and bunks to sleep on, so we are quite comfortable. They are building barracks here for us, which will bo finished next October. I am working at carpenter work here. I do my work for the company and then do work on tho outsido. The other day I made a box for a man in about an hour and he gave me $2.00 for it, and theu I made a poker table for another fellow and be gave me $5.00 f ir it. Wages here are from $50 to $90 a month for8-hours-a' day work, and 50 cents an hour is paid for labor by the hour. The soldiers work here for 50 cents an hour unload ing boats. One dollar is worth about the same hero as 2.1 cents is worth in the U. S. ueer costs f 1.00 a bottle, whiskey $0.00 a quart; tobacco $2.00 a pound. Some of tho soldiers sell their clothes. They get $0.00 for a pair of shoe, $10.00 for a pair of pants, $8.00 for a pair of overshoes. we leit Oswego, . ., May 20, com ing via Syracuse to Buffalo, then to Chi cago, from Chicago to St. Paul, then over the Great Northern to Seattle, arriving in Seattle May 30. The next day we went aboard the transport Lawton. The trans port Rosocrans also brought two com panics up ho e. On tho way up she went ashore near tho mouth of the Yukon river, and it took over two weeks to got h r off. We left Seattle June 6. Wo bad a pleas ant voyage all the way up. After getting into the Behrlug Sea we got into floating ico and laid in it two days, then turned around and got out of it. Then we went north toward the Bchring Strait, then east by cape Nome and into tbe harbor of St. Michael from the north. We arrived here June 2.'!, landing the same day, Cape Nome is where tbe great rush for gold is now. In coming by there I count ed 53 ships lying at anchor along the shore. When I loft Oswego it was just like leaving home. I felt worse when I left thorn than I ever did any place I left before.

There is more Catarrh in this section f the country than all other diseases put together, and until tbe last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed lociil remedies, and bv constantly failing to cure with local treatmont, pronounced it incurable.
