K. L. Hacoh, Committeeman,
The f 10,000,000 income ol Mr. Rocke
feller is a good deal of uioney, but it
doesu't talk on the witness stand.
Now it is said President Roosevelt
aided W.d-worth merely because be is
John Hay's son-in-law. The President
naturally takes more interest in sons-in-law
than be he used to do.
The Supreme court of Georgia bas de
cided that express companies must carry
liquor into towns despite local prohibi
tion ordinances. The Georgia judge rec
ognizes the fact that thirst is no respecter
of law.
Brazil is aiming a blow at the United
States by Imposing an ntijust tariff upon
American flour and grainstuffs. Uncle
Sam will probably retaliate by raising
the duty on Brazil nuts and orangoutangs.
The Cleveland Leader says: The ac
cepting of rebates and special rates from
railroads by the United Statis Steel cor
poration and its subsidiary corporations,
has bf-en ordered stopped by President
W. E. Corey.
"If President Roosevelt shall fall in
his fight for rail say rate legislation,'
says a bign Democratic authority, "it
w ill mean the destruction Of the Repub
lican party." W hat Is the use of sug
gesting anything so utterly impossible as
a failure on the part of Theodore Roose
velt?
r rom California comes a report that a
man dangerously sick In a hospital there
says be knows who Bred the fatal shot
at Qoebel. The Kentucky Democratic
machine wants no such information. It
would spoil the game of punishing polit
ical enemies after trying them by uries
composed of twelve Democrat.
Forty years ago Robt. E. Lee was of
fered the pp-sidency of the Northern Life
Insnrence company at a salary large
enough for those days. He wrote that he
"hadn't the ability or the experience to
command such a salary." He was told
that his name was worth-it. "What in
fluence I have with the Soutbetn people
is not for sale," said Lee. That ended
the negotiations. Things are different
now.
As Indiana jury has awarded a man
who was injured in a runaway caused by
his team becoming frightened at an an
tomoblte, f.3,000 damages against the
owner of the buzz wagon. Kind and
gentle treatment of this kind will do
more to cause the cbafTeurs to regard the
rights of others on the public highway
than all the stones and bard words that
can be thrown at them, as they sail by
tearing great gaps in the speed ordinance.
Ix the Senate at Harrisbnrg Monday
Mr. White, of Beaver, Introduced a uni
form primary election bill to carry out
the governor's idea in bis call. The bill
provides for the holding of uniform pri
maries by the Republican and Democratic
parties on the second Tuesdays of Jan
uary and June of each year. The primaries-
are to be held at the usual polling
places between the hours of 7 a. in. and 7
p. m under the direction of officers in
charge of the general election.
The announcement of Mr. Sibley's
withdrawal from any future contests for
Congressional honors bas opened the
field for many aspiring statesmen who
would not be averse to taking the place
thus vacated. Capt. H. H. Cummings,
of Tldioute, is the fljst to enter the arena
from Warren county, having already put
forth his announcement in the papers of
his county, and the probabilities are that
Attorney William E. Kite and ex-Sena
toro. U.Allen will take a shy at the
ruuuing. Major Alex. McDowell and
ex-Judge Miller of Mercer are also
among the "mentioned." In all
human probability we shall have no
dearth of candidates when the ball opens,
And why should we with such a surfeit
of excellent timber on hand? In this
connection, the Franklin News of Mon
day says: "The friends of O. D. Bleak
ley are putting him to the front as a can
didate for Congress, to succeed Han. Jo
seph C. Sibley. They attempted to In.
(luce biin to make the Announcement
today but he declined to take the step."
It Is the contention of Major Brown,
secretary of internal affairs, says the
Kane Republican, that the exacting of
deposit on mileage books Incorporates
elements of banking business into rail
way management beyond, the charte:
powers of carrying companies. This
view of the subject follows the custom of
the railroad companies in designating the
excess charges as a "deposit." The fact
is, however, that the company selling tho
book charges thirty dollars fur it. allow
ing a rebate of ten dollars on complying
with specified conditions. It is the con
stitutional provision against rotates by
common carriers which is boldly and
persistently violated in the sale of mile
age bookstand redemption of the covers.
It may be that now, since the railroads
have discovered the clause in the state
constitution forbidding the issuing of
free passe, the legislature may be pre
vailed upon to take up the equally Im
portant provision axainst discrimination
and rebates. For more than thirty years
both clauses have stood in the organic
Jaw without adequate legislative enact
ments to enforce them; during the pres
ent agitation of the subject popular sen
timent should becotueBufflciemly defined
to stimulate action by the legislature to
be chosen at the next general election.
Hon. Joseph C. Sibley Announces His
Determination to Retire at the
End of His Present Term
in Congress.
To My Frirndt and Constituent:
It was, I think, the younger Pliny, who
said that the young man owed service to
his fellowmen and his country, but that
the old man owed service to himself.
More than one-fifth of my life bas been
given to political service. Every ambi
tion of a political character bas been more
than satisfied, and It is my desire on the
completion of my present term to be re
lieved from further service.
To the best of my ability I have served
yoo in publio life with fidelity and seal,
without at any time permitting one ael
fish desire or personal advantage to in
fluencemeon any question confronting
me in the discbarge of my public duties.
In the review of my pnblio actions I can
not recall having bit an unfair blow po
litically; and hsve never knowingly
broken my word or faith with my con
stituency, or with any oneol tbem with
possibly a single exception wherein it
seemed to me I as Justified in so doing.
During my term of service I have been
constant In my attendance at the sessions
of congress, and up to December last re
call no day that I have been absent from
tbe sessions of the bouse if able to be out
of bed; and never at any time have neg
lected the interest of any constituent, no
matttr what might be bis political affilia
tion, or bow poor and obscure he or she
might be. True, ibis was only dnty.
But bad it not been a doty, the love and
confidence so generously bestowed by tbe
good people of all political parties during
so many bard tights in tbe political areoa,
have been so appreciated by me tbat it
bas always seemed tbat tbe best services
I bad In my power to render was too
slight an expression of my appreciation
of your loyal love and support.
As your representative In congress it
as never fallen to my lot to do any great
thing, but the opportunity has beeu given
me to do msny good things. There Is
one class of people whose interests I bave
been able to serve; at least no opportu
nity for the betterment of their condition
has ever been neglected by me; and that
class is made up of tbe noble manhood
and womanhood of our natlou who reside
on American farms. I have believed for
years, and still believe tbat they are tbe
great conservators of tbe nation; tbe
moral balance wheel which affords tbe
surest guarantee of the permanency of
our forms of government, and tbat their
cnltivated moral sense generally arrives
at a just if not an absolutely accurate
conception of the genus of onr higher
civilization.
On all public questions I bave attempt
ed to apply tbe one single rule, and that
the "Rule of Kigbt;" and at no time bave
allowed my partisanship to blindly galde
me.
While I recognize that as your repre
sentative I have made mistakes, no vote
bas ever been cast by me except in ac
cordance with my most enlightened con
ceptions foi the welfare of my constit
uents and my country. But whether my
position was right or wrong, both friend
and foe in an have known where to find
me, for I bave never at any period of my
life been on both sides of any given ques
tion, nor bave I ever dodged one vote
since entering congress. This course
baa, I believe, won for me tbe re-pect of
my fellow members, which will be val
ued so long as I live.
I never anticipate again being a candi
date for any political position, and shall
join with you In tbe desire that my suc
cessor will be one who will try as unsel
fishly and loyally as I bave done to serve
your interests, and be clothed with a
greater measure of ability in doing so.
Sincerely and affectionately,
Your friend,
Joseph C. Sibley,
Washington, Jan, 10, 19U6.
REDUCED PRICE!

ON WINTER GOODS.
With "Winter but commenced and practically all the cold weather yet to come, we are
making the following low prices on Winter Goods in order to clean up our stock. These re
ductions are genuine. All goods are marked in plain figures. Uring this advertisement with
you, compare our goods and prices with others, and see the saving for yourself.
The announcement of Hon. Joseph C.
Sibley to bis people, the text of which
appears in the Republican today, de
claring his retirement from ofllcial life at
tbe expiration of bis present term as
Congressman, comes with what might
almost be termed a shock to bia thous
ands of friends and admirers not alone
in this, his district, but the whole coun
try as well, for Mr. Sibley baa long since
become one of the leading national fig
ures. Regret, sincere and heartfelt, ia
expressed on every hand at this decision
of our splendid Representative, and this
feeliug of sorrow Is not confined at all to
political friends, but extends to those
even who bave opposed biin heretofore
on party lines. Mauy bad hoped tbat
Mr. Sibley'a decision in this matter
might be recalled, and hundreds of tele
grams have gone to blm to reconsider
his determination, but hia mind Is made
up and hia decision is irrevocable. And
since it is so we can only extend grate
ful thanks to him for what he baa done
for his people, and wish him all the peace
and happiness which inevitably spring
from a consciousness of duty ever faith
fully performed.

HmiKera of a Colli nml How to Avoid Them
More fatalities have their origin in or
result from a cold than from any other
cause. This fact alone should make peo
ple more careful as there is no danger
whatever from a cold when it is properly
treated in the beginning. For many
years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been recognized as the most prompt and
effectual medicine in use for this disease.
It acts on nature's plan, loosens tbe
cough, relieves tbe lungs, opons the se
cretions and aids nature in restoring tbe
system to a healthy condition. Sold by
