The Chilian Affair. New York Press. In face of the crisis which confronts the American people, and their representa tives in Congress and in executive author ity, there is no time, and there can be no inclination, to deal with the twaddle and rubbish contained in a few nn-American newspapers. The cause of the United Stats against Chili has arrived at the crit ical period. Chili, after three months of patience and forbearance on the part of the United States, has left to the American people no choice between exacting the rep aration which she refuses to grant or being held up before the world as fit for the out rage which she has inflicted and the con tempt which she has cast upon the Amer ican name. Farther delay on our part would mean dishonor, and when the honor of the nation is at stake there can be but one thonght in every loyal mind. Europe is looking on in the hopo that pusillanimity and partisanship will tri umph over patriotism in the councils of the great Republic; but Europe will hope in vain. Partisanship will prove its honesty "bjr proving its fidelity, in the highest and the purest sense, to the interests of onr common country. The nation's representa tives will respond with virtually unani mous voice to the message of the nation's President. Let us recall briefly the facts which have brought about the existing crisis. On the afternoon of the 16th of October, three months ago last Saturday, a number of seamen belonging to the United States cruiser Baltimore went on shore JJin uni form for liberty, in aocordanoe with the universal practice of ships in foreign ports. Several weeks had passed siflce the capture of Valparaiso by the Congressional forces, and the city was quiet. The men of the Baltimore were orderly, sober and well-behaved. Suddenly, as if by a pre concerted understanding, the Baltimore sailors, scattered about the oity in places far separated, ware attacked by hundreds of Chilians. Being unarmed, the Ameri oans songbt to retire, pursued by the mob with knives and blows. A large body of soldier polioe harried to the scene, and the Americans, assailed by ten times their nnmber, supposed that rescue Was at band. But the polioe drew up in line, deliberate ly aimed their earabines, not at the mob, but at the hunted Americans, and fired with deadly effect. They followed up the ballets with bayonet thrasts, and some of the Americans they lassoed with ropes and dragged to prison. Not a man bnt those who wore the American uniform was attacked, either by the mob or the polioe. and, so far as tie public know, not a British or German or sailor of any other foreign man-of-war in Valparaiso harbor has been abused or inter fered with by the Chilians. When the news of the tragedy oame to the United States the deepest indignation was aroused throughout the country. The President, after being officially informed of the faots, . addressed to the government of Chili a m od erate and reapeotfal request for reparation. To that request the Chiliaa Cabinet return ed a defiant and insulting reply. Weeks passed and Chili's attitude remained the same. A secret and farcical investigation was held by the Chilian Judge of Crimes, with the object and the result of exculpat ing the polioe who bad slain our seamen. In communication between the Santiago Government and the Chilian authorities the affair was spoken of merely as a "dis agreeable incident." There was no expression of regret; no offer of apology or indemnity; not even a promise that Americans would be respected and proteotad in the fatore. Indeed, the Chilians have shown by their oonduct in more recent instances that their hatred and contempt of the American flag and nniform has not abated. The note of Mal ta to Chili's representatives aboard was the grossest insult that the United States has in its history, ever reoeived at the hands of a foreign power. It was not to kill our sailors, to defy the American peo ple and treat them with scorn, but Matta proclaimed the defiance and the scorn iu a message to every European capital. Tho message has never been recalled or disa vowed. Under these circumstances to bear with Chili longer woald be a sacrifice far greater than a war, however costly in blood and in treasure. Chili moat and will receive an ultimatum. She mast mako the apology that is due and give the reparation that she owes, or becomo an open enemy in stead of a secret foe. It is for her to choose. The choioe of the United States is already taken; and the choioe is not a dishonorable peace. THK congressional ticket to be voted by the Republicans of this distriot at the Pri mary will be something like this: I FOB COHOKKSB. j I Newton Black, : W. 8. Shallenbergor, ; : T. w. Phillips; : S. C. Koonce, ; : FOB DKLEGATK TO COKUHEMIGNAL j : CONVENTION. I J. Jonea. ; If a voter desires to vote for Newton Black, of Butler county, he erases the names of the remaining candidates, and it his choice for delegate is J. Jones, he writeß in the blank line as indicated in tho diagram. When the vote is counted, should Newton Black receive a plurality of the votes in tba precinct, and J. Jones a plurality for delegate, Jones goes to the convontion Instructed for Black, until the 10th ballot as provided for in the first resolution. THK annual report of the Auditor Gener al makes a good (bowing for Pennsylvania in 1891. The receipts were $13,007,101, an increase of over 94,000,000 as compared with 1890. The increase is iairly distribu ted over the tevaral items, and is consider ably aided by the direot tax refund of sl,- 600,000 from the United States Govern ment. Receipts from liquor licenses were nearly (600,000 more this year than last. The expenditures were $10,453,932. These included over two and a half million dol lara of loans redeemed. The balance in tho treasury, November 30, was $0,979,854 as against $4,426,645 on the same day of Uwpnrrlowjrtar. POLITICAL. Rodney A. Mercur, of Bradford county, has announced himself as a candidate lor the Republican nomination for Senator in the Wyoming district, fand with his announcement he makes the public declaration that he is opposed to the re elec tion of to the IT. S. Senate. This is bold and manly on the part of Mr. Mercur. The people can thus have an opportunity of deciding, by accepting or rejecting his aspirations, whether they desire the elec tion of Quay to another term in the Senate. James Watts Mercur, a brother of Rod ney, is also a candidate for Senator in the Delaware district, but he has as yet made no declaration on the Senatorial question. Both are sons of the late Chiof Jnstice Mercur, who was one of the ablest and most influential of the Republican politi cians of the North for many years.—Phila delphia Times. Of course it would be impossible to find any fair representative of Pennsylvania Republicans who would not favor Mr. Blaine's nomination, if he will accept a nomination. No wire-pulling is needed to secure a Blaine delegation, least of all by a man who has time and again done all be could to prevent the Blaine sentiment of the State from finding expression in former Conventions. But there is a general suspicion that Mr. Blaine will positively decline to be a can didate, and in that event Mr. Quay would like to have a delegation that he can nse to his own advantage in the political market. To secure such a delegation it is of course necessary to look closely after the appoint ment of district delegates to Minneapolis and of delegates to the State Convention, which is to name the delegates-as-large. No doubt this was part of the work that Mr. Quay's agent was engaged in over in Bradford county, for it is evidently oße branch ol bis plan for securing full control of the State so that he may be returned to the Senate as his own successor. It is essential, then, if the Republicans of Pennsylvania propose to be fairly and honestly represented in the National Con vention as well as in the Legislature, that they promptly wake up to a full compre hension of Mr. Quay's scheme and effectu. ally thwart it at the primaries. It is of the first importance to see that men who are opposed to Mr. Quay's machine meth ods and who can be depended on to repre sent the will of their constituents shall be sent to the Legislature this year, and R is also important that Republicans of the same sturdy stamp shall be selected to rep resent the party in both the Btate and National Conventions. There is no doubt that a large majority of the Republicans of Tioga county are anxious to free the party and the State from the domination of the machine that brought upon ns the political disaster of 1890; but they must remember that to effect this reform within the party they must turn oat at the primaries and unite in selecting representatives who have the political integrity and the personal ca pacity and influence to effectually work for the highest good of the party by over throwing the machine leaders who have so thoroughly demonstrated their incapac ity and nnworthiness. —Wellsboro Agita tor. Chili War Talk. The expected war with Chili has been the most interesting subject of conversa tion at the National Capital, of late and the subject has been thoroughly analyzed both as regards possible foreign complications and probable political effects. President Harrison has prepared a mes sage for Congress in regard to tho matter, in which attention is called to the conduct of Chili and her policy of delay. Her ac tion is characterized as unsatisfactory and disrespectful. The duty of the Govern ment is pointed out to be a maintenance of the national honor in which the question of commercial interests, or even of the shedding of blood, should not be permit ted to deter necessary action. The fact that Chili is jast emerging from a revolu tiou and that she is a smaller power, which has been urged as a reason why the United States should overlook the killing of American sailors, is not regarded by the President as a just excuse. The question involved, he says, is one of right in which the sise of the nation does not figure. With regard to the report that an ulti matum had been sent to Chili, Congress will b« informed that none has yet beon sent, bnt it will be asked to empower the President to send such an ultimatum. The rejection of it, or a refusal to answer it will be considered a declaration of war on the part of Chili. Thus the responsibility of declaring war will really be placed upon the Soath American Republic. The Farmers' Alliance. At New Castle last Thursday, Mr. J. H. Pisor of this coanty was elected Secretary- Treasurer of the Farmers' Alliance and State Agricultural Society. The resolutions adopted were as follows: The Farmers' Alliance and Agricultural Society of Pennsylvania, in convention as sembled,declaring allegiance to republican institutions above any party, do publish and deolare to the world these our princi ples and demands: First—We demand more rigorous law iu relation to the entrance of foreign paupers to our shores. Second—We demand a ballot reform which will elect all State and National officers by a direct vote of the people. Third—We demand the absolnte uniform assessment and taxation of all forms of property, both personal and real. Fourth—We demand that a uniform series of school books be furnished at cost by the State to patrons of our public school. Fifth—We demand a temperance reform as a means of creating a market for foreign products, instead of poisonous drugs. Sixth—We demand that money be loan ed direct to the people from the Govern ment without the intervention of banks, with proper limitation, at an interest not to exceed 2 per cent. Seventh—we demand a sufficient in crease of currenoy for the free transaction of business, not to exceed SSO per capita. Jacksville Items. The stock-holders of the Town Hall elected officers the first of the year and now the boys are having a chance to dance, "go it boys." It is understood that the Farmers' Alli ance of this place has nominated a third party ticket and are koeping it secret un til near the election. The well on the Boyd farm near tho mouth of Wolf Creek will reach the gas sand this week. YELL. Golden Wedding. On Monday the 18th forty pcoplo assem bled at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis P. Daubenspeck of Fairview twp. to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their marriage. It was a surprise to this aged couple,but they quietly surrendered their residence to the party. A good dinner was served at midday; an address was delivered by Rev. H. S. Garner. Mr. Daubenspeck was born in 1820 and has always rosided in view of the homo farm. ON a section of the World's Fair grounds at Chicago there is now being operated, on W> endless elevated railway track,elliptical in shape and 900 feet long, a traveling sidewalk, a portion of which moves at the rate of six miles an hour, while another portion by its side moves three miles an hour. The whole structure is under cover, and the system, has been put in operation as a tost of its practicability. TUB honorable Senators from Pennsyl vania should take a fearful warning from the example of Senator Plumb's sudden dUUk aud stop dVtfr'w'urkiug ttabmnelre*. The Philadelphia Nominations One would judge from the following from the Philadelphia Times (Ind.) of last Thursday, that the honest Republicans of that city shunned the polls as they di> the Devil. Referring to the Republican nomi nating conventions of the day before for city officers it says: "Of the four men nominated yesterday for Police Magistrates by the machine Combine of this city, two were arraigned before the Senate for malfeasance iu office, and escaped dismissal and disgrace only by the Senate skulking the issue on the pretext of no jurisdiction. Magistrates Hackett and Roney are in the list of Magistrates who were in corrupt collusion with Bardsley to rob the State in the pretended collection of mercantile taxes. They corruptly paid Bardsley for their appointment as collectors of delin quent taxes and conspired to plunder the State by illegal fees. The renominationjof these two Magis trates is an insult to every honest citizen of Philadelphia, and if the people shall permit them to be re-elected, the robbed people must make themselves parties to their own robbery. Is there no limit to the forbearance of the people of Philadelphia in official theftT Can corrupt rioters in public robbery com mand the approval of the voters of this plundered and disgraced community T It so. Magistrates Hackett and Roney will be re-elected; if not, they will be overwhelm ingly defeated." The Press (Rep.) speaking of the poli tical selections made the same day says: "Ex-Mcrcantile Appraisers Hunter, Houseman and Patton, who were indicted and dismissed from office, tre also "vindi cated" at the hands of the Qaay machine, and under shelter of the statute of limita tions they will go to Harrisburg to partici pate in the selection of a Judge of the Supreme Court,two Congressmen at-Large, and eight delegates to Minneapolis. It is a great machine that can thus run the Re publican party of Philadelphia almost un challenged, but at the same time repair and restore shattered reputations, making them good enough, at least, for the trade of practical politics. The gentleman elected to Minneapolis yesterday call themselves Blaine delegates. None of them, however, have given any pledges to vote for Blaine, and the con ventions were so fearful of placing them under any possible embarrassment that they refrained from giving positive in structions to vote for anybody." A Great Cabinet Officer. Judged by what he has actually accom plished in his department, John Wana maker is as great a man and as clean a success as any Cabinet officer who has held place in any country for a generation past. His improving and reforming influence has been felt in every part of that immense and complex system over which he pre sides. His succefs is owing to the fact that he brings to the performance of his duties the same business acumen that has tnade him a success in privato life. In as far as genius is a "superhuman capacity for drudgery" and detail, Wana maker is a genius. He hap. clear discern ment and a steady purpose. He is not only filled with the spirit of business re form, but is master of its practical methods. If he doos not lay claim to the dazzling qualities of the "statesman," he seems to take in tho vast and complex mechanism of bis Dapartment with tho eye of a master who notes tho working and relations of every pieco of the machinery. North Washington. Dear Citizes: —We are still moving along striving to keep pace with our neigh bors, running not quite so faßt as some,nor are we stumbling so often nor falling so hard.

On Monday evening, Jan. 11th Mr. Will Thompson and family were surprised by the invasion ot their home by their rela tives and friends, both in and out of town. All ages and classes were represented; the little children, young men and maidens and those of sober age; there were those of the learned professions, mechanics, farm ers and merchants. The program was var ied—part of it an oyster supper. We are always glad to meet our genial friend Will and especially under the circumstances just referred to. We do not go sighing aloug, but rather march to the notes of soul-stirring music, as those of our frieuds from a distance know, who attended the musical recital given last Friday evening by Miss Lizzie Gibson and her pupils. The interest in Miss Gibson's work is attested by the large au - dience present. The Demorest Temperance Contest, ac cording to announcement was held this evening in the Presbyterian Church. Not withstanding the inclemency of the weath er, the youthful contestants were greeted by a large and sympathising congregation. And as stroke after stroke came down upon the liquor traffic, and its supporters all felt that there were other purposes and proybecy in the motto of the meeting: "Tremble King Alcohol, for we are grow ing up." The declamations were interspersed with beautiful selections of music by the choir. One special feature of the evening wa* the singing of the little folks, Miss Ktta Moor's schollars. The medal was awarded to Charlotto, daughter of Mr. Heuderson Donaldson. The audience woud have beec pleased to have seen each contestant receive a medal,they were all so efficient, the bene diction brought the meeting to a clone. A HKADKH. Saxonbnrg Local Institute.

AT the meeting of tho Democratic State in llarrisburg Wednesday, Wright was elected chairmau and Harrity WW fVltttod fo'r the "Over the Hill to the Poor House." The most pathetic article we have seen for some time is the following communi cation to the Indiana Pa Messenger, by an old aunty of that county, You know I've led a pretty lonely life. Father died and left mother aud three girls of us on a little farm that was run down badly. And there was a lot of taxes from away back, and doctor's bills and funeral expenses, aud when we picked up courage enough to look into the shape of things when we come back from the grave yard, and the neighbors had gone home, it looked pretty hard lines. I was the old est of the family, and there wasn't much chance of my bettering my condition. The other two girls, Merandi and .Nancy Jane were rather good-looking, "Mi"—we call ed Merandi that for short—could teach school; and "N. J."—we called her that for short, too, —was pert and smart in the way of knitting, and sewing, and patching, and she could make the spinring wheel just hum, too; and had a knack of knowing where to find the goose eggs and keep the run of the turkeys. Bnt, la' those turkeys and the old geese flock were just born wanderers, and whenN. J. went after them through the old meadow and down along the run and up in the second growth tim ber, it just seemed as though the brown sedge grass and the turning loaves, and the slanting shadows of the clouds on the hills over toward Ray's round top, kind of para lyzed her, and she grew wild and wayward, and one day she went out of our lives alto gether, with her gentle blue eyes, and her sweet voice, and her caroling laughter that made musio for us, however sad we were. But wherever she is now, I know that down in the fountain depth? of her heart there is singing the old lullabys and the loves of her childhood. Mother didn't live long after N. J. went missing. Her eyes had a far away look; and it was always in the direction of the old graveyard, where her dear Robert rested peacefully, beneath a little grassy mound, unmarked, save by the gentle tears that fell upon it and the old and trembling fingers that down the unsightly weeds. Then, all too soon, and, ah! how sad, was the day when "Mi" and I saw her open grave and heard the earth clods fall upon her last narrow casement. But other sorrows came. The little home we loved so dearly, was taken from us, and we got from a neighbor an humble hut in which to live and in which to gather our little remaining house hold treasures. "Mi" thought she would find a way to better our conditions, and she went out into the world, but had scarcely entered when a dread contagion overtook her, and death came quick. Scanty as was my little home, her death absorbed much ot it; and when she too, lay beside her father and mother, there seem ed little left for me. But time passed and I have gathered about me some homelike comforts. As long as my strength lasted I managed to live, —humbly, it is tree, — but independently and happy. There has always been in my heart a hope that my wayward sister would return, and that I could once more enfold her in my arms anc sink again into restful slumber at her side. Hut age—old and sorrowing age, has come on,— and the kindly offerings of neighbors have become necessity; and even the tendered aid of the poor ovorseer has b ecn welcomed. I still live in my little cottage. I have mother's old comforts —the easy chair cane rocker, her patchwork quilts, the yellow stained plates and cups; the faded linen and old fashioned mugs. The quilted rugs still lay before the fire place , —scantily heated these days, but still cheerful and home-like. And it is my home. For more than forty years I have sat in the cot. Lives have come and gone. The great world about me has grown be yond my knowledge. The little assistance I get from kindly neighbors and the grate ful luxuries that come from the overseer, who was a little blue-eyed lad when my hair had grown thin and gray, soothe my heart and make it almost glad. But I hear of some sordid neighbors who think a poor house is better for us who have almost faded out of life. Tbey tell me of its comforts and the care that will be taken of me; but they do not tell me of the herds of coarse, uncultured and beast ly people with whom I shall have to live. I have only a few years more. May God save mo from the last and worst degrada tion of living dependent and in association with the vilest of humanity. I would welcome, yea,invite death rather than this. For years you have sent me your paper. You have known that I was unable to pay you for it, and have often assured me that you felt grateful to have the opportunity to make roe pleased and happy. The Mes senger now, as it has been for years, is my stay and happiness. In your fight against the pauper homo, you have my prayers for success. I can tell you more about my life and needs, and you may send your boy again. PBISCILLA. Should Be Imitated Everywhere Lancaster Examiner. There is nothing small or cowardly in Mr. Kodncy A.

A load oi young men and women out sleighing for pleasure were 'precipitated ovtr a steep embankment near Zelienople last Sunday night and two of them —nam- ! ed Elizabeth Berry and J K. Martin are ' seriously, perhaps fatally injured. Miss Berry's spine is injured, and Mr. Martins skull was fractured. Both horses had j their legs broken in the fall, anl were shot. The party consisting of twelve yonng people, sons and daughters of farmers of that section, started out in a two-horse bobsled, and after a ride of several miles t':ey started for home. To lessen the dis tance they took an unused road that wound along the top of a steep hill. Everything was coated with ice and scarcely had the h >rses reached the hilltop when it was s.'en an accident was imminent, as the sled kept slipping ominously close to the precipice. The driver tried to turn the horses, but was too late, for in an instant the sled swung over the edge. Tho driver the horse, but they could obtain no foothold and were dragged down by the sled and its screaming occupants. Of the entire load the driver is the only one who escaped uninjured, as he jumped just as the sled went over the hill. At the point where the accident occured there is a sharp descent of about 300 feet, with a gentle slope of 200 feet more be yond. The ground was covered with ice, and when tho sled went over tho hill the horses were dragged after and the ?led turned over. The horses were dragged , from their leet, and sled, occupants and team in a confused mass swept to the foot of the hill. By the time tho driver could roach the party some of tho young men who were but slightly hurt had assisted 1 the ladies from beneath the sled. 1831 ™ E CD^' ATOK 1892 Country Gentleman THE BEST OF THE Agricultural Weeklies.
