The state department at Harristmrg bas completed the compilation ol the otU clal returns of the recent election for state treasurer, aud the vole is as follows: Sbeatz (Republican) 4."9,P65, Haruian (Democrat) 312,737, Stevenson (Prohibi tion) 29,830, Clark (Socialist) 14.34G; scattering. 5; total, 816,883. Sheatz's plurality, 147.228; Sbeatz's majority over all other candidates, 103,047. The supreme court of the Uuiled States on Monday declared the greater Pittsburg law constitutional, affirming the decision of all the lower courts. This settles the case for Pittsburg and the city will now take on metropolitan airs, with a popula tion of 550,000, making it the sixth city of the land, jumping from eleventh place. The five cities next greater in population are New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Boston. It Ib very noticeable that the friends of Joseph C. Sibley are trying hard to create a Sibley boom, but we think such a move Is in very poor taste, especially before Mr. Wheeler has been sworn into office. Mr. Wheeler was urged to be a candi date and took up the fight after Mr. Sibley had voluntarily retired and left the field open to all, and his strong per sonality and reputation for fairness easily won for him the district nomination. Tbk composition of President Roose velt's cabinet, as at present constituted, is often a matter of conjecture. Here it is: Secretary of Slate, Elibu Rot; Secretary of Treasury, George B. Cortelyouj Secre tary of War, William H Taft; Attorney General, Charles J. Bonaparte; Postmas ter General, George Von L. Meyer; Secre tary of Navy, Victor H. Metcalf; Secre tary of Interior, James R. Garfield; Sec retary of Agriculture, James Wilson; Sec retary of Commerce and Labor, Oscar S. Straus. While it is evidently true that the trusts and other large corporate interests are doing all in their power to discredit the policies of the administration, we be lieve that it Is equally true that the great mass of the American people are going to stand pat, also that the press of the coun try is going to stand pat and if these two agoncies stand shoulder to shoulder, there will be no panic, to be sure there will be no eftorl made to create one. The trusts are powerful, put the masses are more so and when public sentiment has been aroused sufficiently to say to the trusts stop, tbey will stop, and this sentiment is crystalizing every day. Kane Republi can. Whew Congress convenes next month Represenative D. F. Lkfeau, of theTwen- tieth Pennsylvania district, will introduce bill to place all widows of war veterans on an equality for pension purposes. It provides for the granting of a pension of $12 per month to the widow of every civil war veteran who served a minimum of ninety days, irrespective of what their an nual Income mignt be or the cause of the death of their husbands. M r. Laleau finds that the widow of a private is, nine cases out often, in more need of a pension than the widow of an officer, and that, therefore in his opinion all widows, irrespective of the rank of their husbands, should be placed upon an equal footing. Mr. Sibley Will Not Run Again. According to the Hon. J. C.Sibley, who is out of politics but watching develop ments with the eye of an expert, either P, V. Knox, of Pennsylvania, or Joseph (, Cannon, of Illinois, will be the Kepuhlj. can nominee for the Presidency la 11108, Mr. .Sibley's first choice is Knox, second choice Cannon. He says Bryan will be the Democratic nominee, and thinks Roosevelt would not accent a nomination This is all set forth with characteristic smoothness in a letter occupying three columns in the Franklin News, hut no predictions are made as to who will be the next Congressman from this district, to succeed Mr, Wbeeier. oil City Bliz zard. On the question as to whether Roose velt would seek a third term Mr. Sibley, in bis letter above referred to, thinks he will not, and then quotes the President's utterance Immediately after his election when be stated that "under no circum stances will I be a candidate for, or accept another nomination." Mr. Sibley says, in the lace of this positive declaration, "to question bis sincerity is to doubt his integrity." In this terse sentence Mr, Sibley has put the matter of Mr. Roose velt's acceptance of another nomination entirely at re-t. Aud this is preclsoly the attitude in which Mr. Sibley is placed as regards his aeain eutering the race for Congressional honors. In a public state' nieut a little less than a year ago he made the most positive declaration that he would not again seek nor accept a Con gresslonal nomination, yet some pretend to say that be is quietly shaping matters through his friends for again entering the race next spring. This is preposter ous, and we refuse to believe it. To quote Mr. Sibley's own words we say, to question his sincerity Is to doubt his integrity," a thing we positively will not do. "GIVE WHEELER A CHAXCE." To the Editor of the Kkitjblican: A recent editorial which' appeared in one of Mercer county's leading papers, bearing the heading "Give Wbeeier a Chance," we would say, seems a timely and exceedingly appropriate statement. Knowing Mr. Wheeler as a man of the strictest business integrity, and well ale to look after the affairs of the district in congress, we feel assured that all be asks is a chance (nut to mention his unassail able record as a Republican) and that he will more than make good in every re aped, and that every voter who honored him with his ballot will receive that courteous consideration which is charac teristic of the man. He Is ready to entor congress with a determination to do his utmost for his constituents and to care fully weigh great questions that come be fore the house as the people's champion and to conserve their rights by his vote upon the floor ot the house, in bo far as his best Judgment may dictate. We are all fallible, but we feel that our new representative is big enough for the ob In every way and heartily concur In the wish of the good people of Mercer county that we "give him a chance." In a recent interview he stated that there were thousands of pension claims which have been lying dormant in the tiles of the department for years lor lack of sufficient evidence to secur . a favor able action. Under the act of congress, February l, 1907, these old claims are now being gone over and the provision of tho new act applied to them, which re sulted in many of them being granted. The act Is based on a stipulated number of days' service (IKi days), the honorable discbarge of the soldier and his sge. .' In the event that a soldier served 90 days or more In the milltaty or naval service of the United States during the late Civil war, or 60 In the war with Mexico, and was honorably discharged and has reached the age of 62 , years or over, he shall, upon making proof of such facts according to the pension laws, be placed upon the pension roll, and be entitled to receive a pension as follows: Sixty-two years of age, $12; 70 years, $15, and 75 years, $20 per month. In recent years the work of the pension bureau has become current and there is no louger the delays iu the handling of claims that there used to be, and Con gressman Wheeler will be glad to take up at once with the department tbeclaims of all those soldiers who, for one reason or another, have been rejected and who may have a pensionable status uuder the act ol February 6, as indicated above. Mr, Wbeeier believes that there are many claims which have been rejected, which if looked up will receive favorable action under this act and wishes all old soldiers to send him their names, with their com pany and regiment, that he may see what can be done. We do not look for, nor do we expect, any brass band demonstration when Mr. Wheeler takes his seat in the house of represenatlves for be does not do things that way and is not the noisy Kind of politician, and it is not always the men who make the biggest noise who accom plish the most for their constituents. WTe expect Mr. Wheeler to enter upon bis new duties as a representative of the people with that same quiet dignity that is so natural to him, and I wish to say to the voters that, from my personal knowl edge of Mr. Wheeler's methods and bis past life, be will always be found right iu line with the people and on the right side of every great public question which comes before the house.

In common with their brethren lusouie nearby towns, Titusvllle milk dealers are advancing the price from 6 t 7 cents a quart, says the Herald. The advauced cost of feed for cattle and the demands of the farmer and dairymen for more money is said to leave the local dealers no option except that of increasing the price to pat rons. Milk at 7 cents a quart or butter at 85 cents a pound does not contain value received in food for the man whose wages have remained stationary. In other words, money can be put to better use than buying these articles at these prices. A Parthenla, Warren county, corre spondent of the Tiltisville Herald says: While Mike Kightlinger, who lives about two miles above town, was walking up Hedge Hog hollow, back of his house, accompanied by his brother William and bis son Jay, they met a young blaok bear in tbe road. Being without euns or weapons of any kiud aud seeing that bruin showed no inclination to retreat, they forthwith attacked Mr. Bear and af ter a fierce struggle succeeded in captur ing him'. Mr. Kightlinger then sent his son home for ropes and tied the bear up carried him home aud chained him to a stake where all mav see him. Here ia a good chance for tome park or zoo man ager to secure a fine specimen of the jet black bear which are so plentiful in this vicinity yet so fierce when attacked that one la rarely captured alive.
