fHi vacancy in the Peunsalvania Con
gressional delegation; caused by the death
of Gen. William Lilly will be filled at the
regular February election. Chairman
Gilkerson says the Republican State con
vention of thii year will be recalled to
meet in Harrisburg on the 3d of January
to nominate a caudidate for Congressman
at-Large, and already several gmtlemen
have been suggested for the honor. George
A. Castor, of Philadelphia, who has tried
several times, will once more enter the
arena with practically the solid endorse
ment of the Philadelphia delegation. It
ia also said that he is acceptable to C. L
Hagee and other party leaders. Repre
sentative Austin L. Tsggart has been en
dorsed by the Montgomery county Repub
licans and other sections of the State are
presenting their favorite sons. The Demo
crats will probably go through the motions
of setting np a candidate to be knocked
down.— Harrisburg Telegraph.
Protest of the Oil Producers.
An informal meeting, in which a number
of prominent oil men participated, wa
held at the office of E. H. Jennings <fc Bros,
in Pittsburg last Thursday. The object of
the meeting was to discuss, from a produc
ers'standpoint, the placing of crude and
refined petrolium oil on the free list as
proposed by the Wilson bill.
J. M. Guffey, P. M. Shannon, E. H. Jen.
nings, Bernard Forst, John Galloway an d
other representative oil men addressed the
meeting, and all denounced the measure
in the most bitter terms.;
The meeting unanimously adopted a
protest which will be sent to Congress.
The protest recites that the development
of the Rustian oil fields, which are owned
by the Rothchilds, the Bakou Standard
Company, and the Noble Bros, has re
cently attained such propoitions that the
quantity of oil produced there is now dou
blethatof American fields; that these
Russian oils are produced at such low cost
that they have already virtually driven the
American oil from foreign markets, and if
the provisions of the Wilson bill, as now
proposed, are now adopted, they must
immediately gain ooutrol of the American
market also, the inevitable result of which
will be the destruction of the American
oil business; that the importation of foreign
oils cannot result in any reciprocal ex
change a commodities, for the reason that
the vessels used to carry oil cannot, owing
to their peculiar construction, be used for
the transporation of any other commodity,
and such a policy will result in the de
struction of the home industry without
compensating advantages of our country.
The protest further says: "We desire
to call your attention to the importance of
our industry by stating that couservative
estimates place the sum iuvested in this
Commonwealth alone, in the production
of crudo petroleum, at $60,000,000 — the an
nual product at 29.000,000 barrels—the
value to the producer; at present low
prices, at more than $22,000,000 and the
number of ipersons directly employed at
15,000.
"We would earnestly urge upon the im
portance of using every effort to defeat
this measure as proposed, and insist upon
the present duty, and if any change be
made, the duty should be increased, rather
than reduced."
It was agreed that P. M. Shannon,chair
man of the committee, b&ve 1,000 copies
of the protest printed and placed in the
hands of all those interested .in defeating
the proposed measure. After to-day these
blank petitions for signatures cau be
bad by applying to or addressing P. M.
Shannon, 108 Fourth avenue. After being
properly signed they will be returned to
Mr. Shannon, and he in turn will forward
them to Washington.
A SUMMARY of the work done in the
State Department for the current year
shows that 422 foreign corporations have
been granted permission to do business iu
Pennsylvania since January Int. 1893; dur
ing the came peiied 522 general corpora
tions have been chartered under the act
of 1874; 79 building and loan association*
bare been granted charters, 0 natural gas
comanier, 2 co-operative association com
panies, 105 street railways, 9 insurance
companies. 5 bank renewals have been
granted, 2 banks have been chartered; 20
■team railways have been chartered, and
17 street railways. Ma*yof the buildinp
and loan associations charters are only re
newals, although they have the force of
new charters inasmuch as the business of
the old firms was wound np entirely Hnd
the companies started afresh. Uniler th«
."general corporation" group is included
Charters granted to electrical companies,
water companies, manufacturing compa
nies, etc. Whfle the showing is good lor
the past year, it is still not as good as
usual.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
Washington Notes.
On Thursday it was said that the Wilson
bill mould be presented to the Uouse the
following Wednesday. There was a strik
ing spectacle presented in tbe corridors
leading to tlje committee room where the
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee were holding their star
chamber deliberations over tbe tariff
schedules of the Wilson bill. They were
thronged with anzions representatives of
nearly every industry of the United State*,
all desiring to plead for some modification
of the changes that threatened their pros
perity, if not their very existence. But
they were iriven no hearing, hhvb v*hi>n
they could j"'ir their petitions into
the unwilling ears of some member on his
way to or from tbe conference.
It was a scene that the whole people of
the United States should have witnessed,
and well deserved ex-Speaker Reed's
caustic comment: '-The Democratic
members of tbe committee are holding a
back-stairs conference, where they are
disposing of the country's industries at
retail."
Thk meeting of tbe Lincoln League
last Friday evening was well »t
tended. S. F. Bowser, E»q., made the
speech of tbe evening, and short speeches
were also made by Capt Fleeger, Hon.
D. B. Dontbett and others. A subject
was agreed upon for tho meeting of
nest Friday evening, upon which each
member present will be expected to ex
press an opinion. Tbe Revised Constitn
tion will also be voted upon at next meet
log. An effort will be uiule to change the
time of meeting from Friday to Monday
evenings.

Stubborn Facts.
All along the line the oil producers are
taking vigorous action against the propos
al to pnt petroloam on the free list. From
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Wyo
ming and California protests ars pouring
into Washington Operators are becoming
thoroughly arouaed to the danger that con
fronts them/ and they do not mean to let
judgment go by default. The meetings in
Oil City and Pittsburg voiced the general
fueling, setting the ball rolling ia good
style. Yet the movement has only start
ed. If success is to crown it, no effort
mast be spared. The need is pressing, thb
time is short and not a moment should
pass unimproved. Delnge Congress with
petitions and remonstrances to show that
the oil interests do not intend to be placed
in jeopardy without a manly struggle for
self-preservation. That enlightened pub
lic sentiment will be heartily with tnem
when the facts are understood properly
cannot be doubted.
Never in its history has a graver exigen
cy menaced the oil industry. While more
oil was exported last year than evor before,
Low was this accomplished? L>ok at these
figures, which give the exports for three
years:
Year No. of Gallons. Value.
1890 692.042 822 fj2.270.952
1891 667.297.935 45.351 975
1892 740*905,237 42,283,163
These figures are wonderfully significant
Although the number of gallons increased,
see how iheir value diminished. Compare
1890 and 1892. For forty eight millions ol
gallons more oil, sent abroad in 1893, ten
millions of dollars less were recoived. At
this rate of shrinkage, how long will it re
quired to drive American oil from for
eign markets? Is Russian oil not a formid
able compeditor? To-day is supplies Aus
tria with 100 per cent ol the kerosene used
in that country; Italy with 38 per cent,
Turkey with 99 per cent, India with 62
per cent, France with 23 per cent, and
even England with 31 per cent. Iu the
face of all this, the Wilson bill coolly pro
poses to wipe out the tariff and let Russia
flood the United States with oil free of
duty! Could anything more stupid and
unpatriotic be conceived? The one lanit
with the existing arrangement is that the
tariff is too small and ought to be made
virtu ally prohibitory.
It is idle to under rate "the quality of
Russian oil, to talk of it as unmerchant
able and to argue that America has no
thing to lear from the Baku fields. True,
the crude is inferior, as it coines lrom the
wells, to the Pennsylvania article. Its
average yield is about 31 per cent, one
half the average here. But its volatile
propensities can be evaporated easily,
leaving a distillate which yields ninety
per cent of water-white oil, fit to burn in
any lamp on earth. .Besidut* tbia, an ex
cellent lubricant ia obtained, equal to the
best in this Commonwealth, This dis
tillate can be loaded on Russian vessels
and landed in New York nt about the
price of pipeage from Bradford to the At
lantic coast! The Baku weils are sunk by
poor wretches whose wages average nine
teen cents a day. Such is the labor with
which the petioleum clause of the Wilson
bill would have American workmen com
pete! Isn't it time to call a halt and
either let petroleum al ne or increase the
tariff upon it ten-fold?
Within the past month the three
wealthy companies owniiig and operating
the Russian dis ricis have been practically
merged into one. Their object is to pre
sent a united front and secure complete
control of the Europeau auJ Asiatic
markets Government assiotance is to be
given, in providing adequate facilities for
transportation, to carry out this project
and monopolize the trade Shall the
American congress help this scheme of
spoliation by removing the sole barrier in
the way of putting the oil producers of five
States al the mercy <>l the Rothschilds?
There might be mime consolation for
destroying the producers of ihis country,
were American consumers to derive a cor
responding benefit. What advantage, it
auy. would the latter gain from the im
portatiou of Russian oil? So low is the
price of refined, owing largoly to the utili
zation of refuse formerly wasted, that it
could be furnished very little cheaper, al
though crude sold for nothing. American
oil is rich in certain products which ltus
aisn oil does not possess, hence it can be
refined more cheaply, b< cause other valu
able articles derived lrom it help to pay
the cost of manufacture. For this reason,
among others, the difference in price
the consumers would be really inappreci
able Surely the most ardent advocate of
"tariff reform" would not desire to bring
into effect a condition of affairs utterly
disastrous to the oilmeu, without compen
sating profit to the masses of American
consumers of American petroleum.
This is the situation in a nutshell.
Don't waste time and breath denouncing
the movement as a '-Standard job."
Producing oil is merely a secondary brauch
of the Standard's business, which is main
ly refining. It Russian oil be brought to
New York at a price lower than American,
the Standard can buy it, refine it there
and pipe the product to the iuterior Pro
ducers must not bo misled by the raising
of any false issue. It is uuon them the
blow will fall, should petroleum be put on
the free list and Kussiau oil be shipped to
the Atlantic coast The crisis should be
met bravely, manfully and unitedly. Let
wisdom and quiet determination rule. Do
quickly whatever is t" be done to help the
commofi cause Al »difyiug the Wilson
bill, as announced in thu Washington re
ports is ail right as far as it goes, but it
stops short too soon. Russia would off
set it at once by abolishing its tarifl on
petroleum, which is really of no account,
because not a gallon of American oil can
ever go into a laud which produces crude
at three cents a barrel Mark this well,
aud don't rest satisfied with the modifica
tion of the bill Producers, gird on your
armor and get on the right side immedi
ately.—Derrick.
Got the Bomb-Thrower,
PARIS, Dec. 10. —August Vaillsnt,
alias Marchal, a resident of the suburb
Cboisy le R«i, an Anarchist, shrew a b.nnb
in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday. He
made a confession this morning.
The bomb was thrown while the Cham
ber was engaged in routine proceedings.
The floor was filled with Ministers and
Deputies, and the galleries wore crowded
with spectators. The bomb, which, in ad
dition to the explosive, contained u lot of
horse shoo nails and scrap iron, was drop
ped from an upper gallery and was explod
ed by a lime luse betore it reached the
floor ol the Chamber, burliug its deadly
contents in *:| directions. A shriek of
horror arose iu uuHou from the members
and spectators, aid amid the blinding
smoke and cries and groans of the injured,
the thousand people iu the Chamber made
a wild rush to reach the outer rooms.
Nobody was killed, but about 100 people
were more or leu* injured. Many will
bear tbe marks ot their wounds for life,
while several have bum incurably crippled.
President 1/eputy was cut in the cheek aud
Senator Billor received severe flesh
wounds Although injured, M. Dupuy re
tained biK | rest nee of mind, and after the
first wave of excitement was over, he
rang bis hell, restored < rder aud said:
"Such outrages cannot distur'i the
Chamber We shall continue our labors,
and,after w 1 exhvist the order of the day,
the Chamber's ollictals will do their duty
in regard to the outrage."
His speech was loudiy cheered, and fol
lowing his courageous example, M. Mont
tord ascended the tribune and in a per
fectly steady voitK) took up the diacunsion
of the question before the House as if
nothing tud happened. When the discus
sion closed, M Casnnir-Perier, tbo Prime
Minister sai.t that he felt compelled to as
sure the lloiii-e that the Government
would do its duty lie said:
"Society has laws with which to defend
itself against such crimes an tho one just
committed, and wo shall not hesitate to
uce them to protect our institutions."

The Queen of Hawaii.
New Yorld World, Dem.
The idea of the United States setting up
anybody iu the monarch business is gro
tesque. It is likewise shocking to all the
sentiments bred in us by a lifelong study
of the Declaration of Independence and
other documentary expressions of funda
mental .American ideas on the subject of
government.
But the opera bouffe suggestion is mac.
nified in its grotesqueness when the pro
posal i:- that ojr Government shall engage
in thi-i sort «f work on behalf of such a
queen as Liliuokal-ani It is worth while
to ask, Wbo is this women, any how ? What
are her claims and qualifications ?
She enjoys, for one thing, the distinction
of being tbe grandanghter of the first man
ever hanged in Hawaii for wife murder.
She is the daughter of a drunken Kanaka,
a Honolulu bummer who was elevated to
the throne without the le*st shadow of
claim even the successions laws.
This man, Lunalilo, was "elected under
curtain forms and was specially urged to
quit his dissolute habits by way of main
taiuing his kingly dignity. But there was
no Keeley cure in Hawaii then,and he pro
ceeded with truly royal disregard of the
proprieties to drink himself to death in a
year.
At the suggestion of Mark Twain, "King
Bill," Kalakana, Lunalilo's son, succeeded
to the throne and the sideboard, and when
ho drank himself to death in due course he
named his sister,Liliuokalani, as his suc
cessor.
She was the reputed wife at one time of
John Domina, a mongrel of American and
Kanaka decent, who seems to have been a
descent fellow deserving a better fate.
Death kindly released him long ago.
Since that time his Kanaka royal spouse
has led a dissolute lile so openly in defi
ance of decency that decency has ceased
to complain of it. Her present paramour is
one Wilson, a mongrel of Kanaka and
Tahitan extraction, whom she made mar
shal of the palace and practical ruler of tbe
realm.
Liliuokalani is about 55 years old—old
enongh to knew better. But her dissolute
ness of life remains untempered by the
discretion of advancing years. She is a
Kanaka only a few generations removed
from cannibalism. She is slow of intellect,
but furtively shrewd in intrigue. Her tastes
are Kanakan and uncivilized. Her ambi
tions are reactionary.
This womau undertook so set aside tbe
somewhat enlightened Constitution framed
under American influenco for the restraint
of her ignorance and barbarism. Out of
this attempt at reaction grew tbo revolu
tion which created a Provisional Govern
ment That Government is composed of
the be-t men in Hawaii, mostly Ameri
cans.

THE big steel making project of the
Rockafeller- Merrits syndicate has been de
clared off for the present on account of the
pending Wilson bill and the existing de
pression of business. A test was made oi
the Adams process for producing steel,
some time ago, and the big aitalisis
were satisfied with the results so far obtain
ed. So well satisfied, in fact, that they
have decided to adopt the process in a mill
in Cleveland, where the band iron is made
with which the Standard Oil Company
hoops its barrels. The Cleveland plant
does not merely supply hoop bands for the
barrel-works in Cleteland, but its product
is used in others of the many great barrel
works operated by the Standard Oil Com'
pany at other points. The process will
also likely bo used in the works of the
American Steel Barge Company at Supeii
or, Wis,

The receipts at the State Treasury for
the last fiscal year ending November 30,
1893 were #13,252,727.89. Among the
revenues was an item about $1,300,000 col
lected by the Attorney General from cor
porations wbo had unsuccessfully appealed
Irom the settlements of the Auditor Gen
eral, The disbursements were $13,423
064.77. which included nearly the entire
$5,000,000 school appropriation. Th"
Treasury receipts for this year ended No
vember 30,1892, were $10,248,759.08.
The increase of $2,503,958.81 in revenue>
was the result of the operations of the
Boyer law, which increases the tax on cor
poration stock from 3 mills to 5 mills, and
ihat on personal property Irom 3 to 4 mills
The increase of the corporation tax
amounted to $1,314,004.67, and that of thr
personal properly tax $1,266 637 93 The
increase ol the bank stock tax from 6 mills
to 8 mills in one class, and from 3 mills to
4 mills in another class, did not augment
the revenues from that source, as had been
expected. For the year ended November
i 30, lis9J, this tax was $535,694 76, while
the past year it reached only $530,222.79
The foreign insurance companies oper
ating in this State, increased their busi
ness largely, according to their payments
into the State Treasury ol tax on gio>s
premiums, the amount having increased
from $421,772 69 in 1592, to $463,252.59 in
1893. Th" wholesale liquor licenses from
$418,688.86 to $565,723.21.
AN exchange makes this mean slap at
the dominant party: "A tax of ten cents
a pack on playing cards and an increase in
the whiskey tax shows that the Democrats
arc not disposed to ignore their share of the

Surprise Party in Connoquenessing Twp.
ED. CITIZEN: —Will you kindly allow
space in your paper, to briefly give the
particulars of a surprise party at the resi
deace of Mr. Keubeu Dutter, wife and fani
ly of Mt. Chestnut. Butler county . Pa.
Ou the morning ol Dec 7, 1893, frien U
and neign bors began to assemble at the
home ol Mr. Keubeu Dutter for the pur
pose of surprising Mrs. Dutter on that, her
fiftieth birthday.
The ladies did their part excellently by
the loudening of the tables with the best
the neighborhood could afford.
While the men discussed many items of
ioten st, the principal ono being the Farm
ers' In.-tituto. At 12 o'clock, dinner was
announced and by 1 p.m. all of fifty coup
len had partaken of a hearty meal.
The meeting was then organized by
electing Kev. Uassler, I'resideut arid Mr.
Dunn Campbell, Secretary. Kev. Uassler
spoke ably and forcibly on the subject of
such an occasion. Mr. Campbell then
spoke ol people ca'ing too much on such
gala days, the AN* for instance. Mr. Ebe
nezer Dodds was then called upon and re
sponded by say ,ng that he lias known the
host and hostess lor nearly half a century.
If space would permit 1 would give a
list ol the persons present.
The hour of departure having arrived,
'.hey depaited to their different homes
(leaving their best wishes with the family )
Iceling that a duy so spent was not lost.
AN OBHKKVEK.
A Dairy Herd Affected
Dr. James A. Wuugh, of Allegheny, and
Dr. 0. S. McKenna, of Washington, I'a.,
examined the dairy herd of Hiram Warne,
of Canton township, Washington county,
Wednesday for tuberculosis. The first
named is acting under orders from the
State Board of Agriculture, and will report
at once to Thomas J. Edge, the secretary.
The disease was found well developed in 5
out of 16 cow. It is thought tne State
will order the cattle killed and recompense
Mr. Warne.
THE late General WM. Lilly, Congress-•
man at large, left an estate valued t. s_',-
000,000. His will divides it among 13 rel
atives, nieces and (nephews. He was a

Grow for Congress.
Scranton Republican.
"Amone the large Dumber of names sug
gested for the succession to the seat in Con.
grri-g made vacant by the death of General
William Lilly are those of many Republi
cans of abilitv and some of them of lormer
valuable service to this country, but there
is one who in all respects looms high above
all others. Tnat one is the H.m. Galu-ha
A Grow, of Su.-quehanna County, long ago
retired from active political life, but robust
as ever in hi* Republicanism as well as in
his physical and mental vigor. We can
tht»k of re Republican in Pernio lvauia
npon whom this waiting honor could be
conferred by the party more deservedly
nor with more grace. As Speaker of the
National House of Representatives in the
stirring war days of 1862. as father of that
great national nles-ing to the j 00 m tL —the
bumOHtead law, as trie fearless champion of
free speech, free soil and free men before
whom Southern tire eaters and slave drivers
cowered. Galnsha A. Grow achieved a
national fame which has not become dim
med by intervening years
"To confer upon this still vigorous sur
vivor of the army of grand and fearless lte
publicans of the early nays of the party the
honor of a seat in the National House of
Representatives from the State at large
would lefleet far more distinction npon the
party a d the Commonwealth than npon
Mr Grow. The State and the cause of
Republicanism wonld bo the gainers, for
in Mr. Grow the delegation wonld be im
mei seiy strencthened for the battles that
wi 1 tie loughi by tho nican mi lority
of ihe present Congress on the tariff and
other questions in the near future. Ga
lusba A. Grow is still a giant in debate.
It would be a most commendable and grace
ful act for all other aspirants to voluntarily
stand aside and unite in making the nomi
nation of Mr Grow by acclamation. It
would be only a just recoguition of bis
splendid services to his country aud to bis
party in the past."
THE great threshing machine firm of C.
Altman A Co., went into the hands of a
