FRANK E. McQUISTION. The Contest Op To Date. The contest over the State Convention has now proceeded for some weeks. The discussion and action have gone far enough to clarify the situation and tendencies. They establish a number of unmistakable conclusions. Here are some of them. 1. The struggle openly began by Sena, tor Quay's shying his castor into the ring and declaring tha'. he proposed to take Mr. Gilkeson's place as Chairman of the State Committee. Up to that moment there was no issue or coaflict for the State Con vention. Delegates had already been elected in many counties without auy sign •f contest. Mr. Quay'i announcement was the declaration of war This indis putable fact fixes the responsibility. 2. Not a pretense of a reason has been given by Senator Quay's friends for seek ing to depose Mr. Gilkeson. Their real reasons they dare not avow; there are no others they can invent; so they have re mained silent. The actual reasons are two-fold: first, they want to punish M Gilkeson for standing by the Governor in the effort for apportionment; and, second, they want to get possession of the State Committee for their own factional purpos es. To these assertions they have not evem attempted an answer. 3. Not a pretense of a valid reason has been given by Senator Quay or his friends why he should seek the Chairmanship of of the State Committee. With 200,000 majority the State is not in doubt. His abilities as an organiser are not needed in that place. Why should he want itt Not. he or any friends has ventured to answer We ohallenge the production of an answer from any of them. The explanation of thia failure is that there is no answer which they can openly give. 4 For the real answer it is necessary to look below the surface. Mr. Quay doesn't want the drudgery of the Chairmanship, but he wants the Committee for next years politics. His movement, therefore, means Andrews for Chairman in fact and Camer on for the national delegation and Senator. This is the substantial issue. Every day makes it plainer and the people are com ing to understand it. 5 The Democratic papers with one ac coard are on the side of Senator Quay and against Governor Hastings. They know what will best serve the interests of their party. They are for Democracy and against Republicanism. They know that for eight years out of the last twelve Pennaylvania has had a Democratic Governor, and they are for the manage ment which has produced that result. The lesson is obvious. Wh at Democrats are for Republicans are against. 6, There has been a striking difference in the character of the campaien on the two sides. The campaign against Gover nor Hastings has been one of brazen false hood and coarse blackguardism It has not been truthiul or argumentative—it has been simply low and vulgar. The campaign on the other side has been a plain statement of facts and a square ap peal to reasjn. There is no intelligent, reading Republican but has been struck with the contrast. 7. The results up to date aro decisive. The campaign has gone over-whelmingly for Governor Hastings. Since the an nouncement of Senator Quay's candidacy for Chairman every delegate elected has been against him. This sweeping cur rent plainly marks the conclusion. The Republicans of Pennsylvania, will stand by their State Administration. —Philadel- phia Prttt. THI ltepublioans of Centre Co. held their primary last Saturday and of the delegates to the County Convention 108 were for Hastings and 12 for Quay. Hastings and Capt. Bennison were elected delegates to the Btate convention. The resolutions extended "congratulations to the Hon. B. F. Gilkeson, chairman of the Republican State committee, on the honorable, manly and able manner in which he has directed the recent cam paigns of the party, and on his brilliant success in making each succeeding mojority larger than its predecessor. "We recognize his conspicuous fitness for the position he holds, and oordially indorse him for reelection." Somewhere in New England. Face to face with the fact, which he appreciates in spite of the false pretense of his claim agency newspapers, that of a total of 15 delegates to the State con vention who have been elected since be declared open war on the State ad ministration, every one, in each case against the opposition of his friends, has been elected to support State Chairman Gilkeson, Senator Quay adopts the desperate expedient ot repudiating Cam eron just enough to gull Republican voters who are against his heterodox position on the money question, and not enough to check Senator Camoron's es sential interest and partnership in their joint campaign. In answer to a cara fnlly prepared letter from a Republican up in Lycoming county, Mr. Smythe, Sena tor Quay takes a safe straddle upon the Presidential question by saying, "I am in favor of Reed or McKinley" —good Lord, good devil—although as late as within the present month he was specifically quoted from Harrisbnrg, with out denial, as having declared in writing that— lf Pennsylvania has a candidate for President at the next Republican Nation al Convection, it will be Senator Cameron. Pit tab urg Times. FOK three months a Blackford County, Ind., farm has been burning underground, and it has been impossible to extinguish it. The farm is owned by Prank Williams auditorof Wabash County. Mr. Williams' farm contains sixty-six acres of muck, which when dry, will burn like sawdust. Three months ago fire started in the muck land. Little attentiou was paid to it un til within the last week, when it was dis covered that the fire was burning under ten acres and was still spreading. Within the last few days the ten acre patch has been a glowing furnace. THI New Yorker who has discovered that the baldest heads can be covered with a thatch oi hair by will-power should be enlisted by those who believe that the atamp of the Government upon unlimited pieces of silver worth 50 cents can make them worth 100 cents. STBAJI railway,street railway, telegraph, telephone and canal companies, which have failed to make their reports to the Department of Internal Affairs by June 30, are being informed of their delinquency. The penalty for failure »o report at accrtuin time after the above named dates i-i $5,000. TUB youth of our conntrv have 451 el leges from which to choose wh<*n they need an education; in these institution* there are 10,247 teacherst and 110,053 stu dent!. Ownixag a Governor. "I would like to know how it feels to j own a governor.'' Such was a remark credited to Senator Quay just before Delamater's nomination, and it his gone down in political history as one of the junior senator's worst break s. People who are well acquainted with the prefect contest in Pennsylvania say that Quay's famous expression explains the whole course of the fight. A. well known Philadelphia gentleman, who has held some places of honor in tho State, iu speaking on this subject said: "When Senator Quay, something over four years ago, said he would like to know what it telt like to own a governor he probably did not know that it was just ihat feeling that would drive him from politics. Now. Senator Quay has nevei experienced the deliehtful sensation of owning a governor for the reason that the people at the polls defeated his man l)e!a --mater, and Gen. Hastings is the governor of the whole people and not the creature of one man or any Get of men. Qaay dis covered that he could not own Gen. Hast ings However, he Knew that he would be recognized like any other leading Re publican, but this lid not satisfy the 'old man.' He knew time was fleeting, that he was getting old, and that if he wanted to own a governor he would have to hurry up. Then he sent an emissary to the gov ernor with such a demaad that if it was granted it meant that the governor would reallv be owned by Quay. Of course tuo governor refused the demand, and Quay then started on his fight of extermination. He decided to take the bull by the horns and wipe out every man in politios, and if successful he would nominate, elect and own a governor all to himself. The Re publican workers who had gone along with Quay for so long, decided that it was time to serve notice on the 'old man that he could not use the Republican party to vent his personal spite, and, as a result, the active Republicans all over the State have turned against Quay and he is de.eat ed. He is worse defeated than even his opponents think he is. This man Quay was defeated the day the people in Lacka wana county voted for State delegates. Senator Quay chose his own battle eronnd. He chose Lackawana and oppo nents decided to fight him on the ground of his own choosing. They fought, and t*ie Quay flag was hauled down. From that minute Quay was defeated. He may try to 'Svengalize' these delegates, but it is no use. All the junior senator needs is a few more Lackawannas and he will withdraw from the fight. Now, lam not one of the men who believe Quay should be annihi lated. I believe he should be taught a lesson and given to plainly understand the difference between leadership and dicta tion." THK recent ClM'iotion by a Kansas jury of a man charged with murder in the first degree upon the ground that he had hyp notized another man to shoot; his enemy was naturally regarded as the high-water mark of modern crarkery, but Ohio seems to have set a record bejond it two years ago. The body of a man who -had often threatened to commit suicide was found in the woods with a bullet hole in the fore head. Later the man's mother had a dream, in which she saw the ghost of hor son in his coffin and learned from him that he had been murdered by a neighbor. Upon the strenech of this testimony tho unfortunate neighbor was sent to prison for life. The facts came out now in an effort to secure a pardon for him. These illustrative cases have been too long omit ted from the catalogue of pr«ofs of degen eracy. The State Chairman writes a Plain letter. Chairman Gilkeson, of the Republican State committee, seat the following reply to the letter of Mr. Smyth, of Williams porn: BRISTOL, PA., July 22, 1895. James S. Smyth. Esq., Chairman Re publican City commi'tee, Williamsport Pa: MY DKARSIB: Your not reach mo until this morning: ber.ee the delay in my reply. In my judgment, your third question really covers tho first and second, and for this reason, with your permission, I will answer the third ques tion first. I am not in favor of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. I cannot favor such a proposition, regarded, a* 1 believe it to be by the great mass of the Republicans of Pennsylvania, as a poli tical heresy. Inasmuch as the Hon. J. D. Cameron is in favor of the free coinage of silver, and believing that such a nation al policy world be disastrous to the great agricultural, manufacturing and commer cial interests of Pennsylvania, I cannot favor Mr. Cameron as a candidate for the Presidency, nor as a Senator from Penn sylvania to succeed himself. These are my earnest personal convictions, and to the utmost of any influence I may be able to exert as a Republican, in ray own coun ty and elsewhere, I will maintain them. The party organization, however, be longs to the whole party—not to any person or faction in it, and should not, in my judgment, he misused to carry ont the personal opinions or preferences of any Stale chairman, but should leave the selection of Republican candidates to the froe choice of Republican voters at their primary elections. Trusting that mj reply fully answers your questions, and taking the liberty of stating that im position upon the silver question is that I am in favor of bimetallism, provided it comes by international agreement, and further stating that I will take the liberty to-morrow of publishing my reply to your letter, I am, very truly yours, B. F. Gilkeson. GOVERNOR Hastings has appointed Mrs, J. A. Kaufl'man, of Columbia, and Mrs. 0. D. Thompson and Miss Julia Morgan Harding, of Pittsburg, as State Commis sioners to the Pennsylvania Board of the Atlanta Exposition. The Cuban War. A New Yorker lately returned from Cuba believes the Cubans will win their fight for freedom. It will, he says, re quire probably two years to settle the matter, but his firm have advices from the interior of Cuba stating that the workmen on the tobacco plantations are abandon ing labor and are joining the rebels in their struggle. The Spanish, he pays, are just now fighting against long odds. The new recruits .being brought from Spain are dying from fever on every hand, and those that are escaping the rebate are being carried off by sickness beforo they get acclimated. Ho holievos that busi ness will be practically suspended in Cub» within the next few months, whrn the natives will dtvote themselves to fight ing. The Spanish authorities keep wonder fully well posted in Cuba on the move ments of the rebels, and any person who goes there. All mail matter is opened by the authorities before delivery, and anything relating to tho rebellion is con fiscated and destroyed. The chief cause of tho insurrection and uprising, Mr. Flah erty says, is the outrageous and unreason able way i n which Cubans and visitors to Cuba are taxed. The hotel-keeper* are required to affix a government stamp op posite the name of each guest an he regis ters. The stamp must be paid for by the hotelkeeper, but is charged into tho hotel bill by him HO that the visitor pays the tax. The stamp is similar to that used for playing cards by the Internal Revenue Bureau of tho Uni'ed States, The stamps are placed upon all mail matter after it ar rives there, and must be paid for by the receiver before the mail can bo lifted. The same kind of government sta:;ips are plac ed upon street *igns, placards, show bills and al! petty artiel".-* Urire enough to hold •he stamp This si steui <>t taxation had become so heavy and so annoying, Mr. Flaherty s.»>.->, that the people finally rr belUd »g irst it.

The Flinn Road Law. Section 1, of the new road law em- j powers the County Commissioners, jpon j approval by a Grand Jury and the Court, to | re-locate, open, straighten, widen, pxtend. alter and construct auy particular public highway and vacate so much of the same as may be rendered unnecessary and use less, and make such improved highway a County read, to be kept in repair by the County forever. Section 2. requires the County Commis sioners after resolving to improve any road to cause surveys to be made, petition Court, publish notices, etc. Section 3, gives the Commissioners the right of eminent doma'n, as to making surveys etc. Section •!, 5, 6.. 8. and 10, relates to the adjustment and payment of damages, ap pointment of viewers, costs, jury trials.etc. Section 7. relates to the disposal vacated roads, and cat off lands. Section 11, requires the Commissioners to advertise for bids for the builJing of the new road, and give contract to lowest re sponsible bidder, and Section 12, require* tho same plan as to maintaining the roads. Section 14. authorizes the Commissioners to lew a tax upon all real and personal property, of not more than two mills for the purpose of building and maintaining the county roads. Section 15. relates to proceedure when the new road shall pass through or injure buildings. Section 16, puts the now roads under the control of the County Commissioners and relieves the Supervisors of any author ity over them or responsibility for thrm SOME of our esteemed fellow-citizens profess to being for yuay in this fight of his against what they call the "Hog Com bine" because, as they say, he was attacked in the dark, because he was not notified that they would combine against him, and this reminds us of a story— Some years ago a member of the Legis lature was greatly interested in a bill that he had introduced for the destruction of foxes. He arose from his seat continually ai.d talked about his bill; and one day when he was talking about it, a member from Phil adelphia claimed a "point of order," ar.d gravely asked him if the foxes had been notified of this bill to exterminate them. Christian Endsavor Societies. The grand gathering of "Endeavorers' in Boston last week draws attention to the remarkable growth of this society. The organization was founded by Rev. Francis E. Clark, I;. D., while pastor of the Williston Congregational Church in Portland, Mo., on February 2, 1881. His olject was merely to unite the young people of his congregation in a society for the purpose of having them, under suitable instruction, eugage in promot ing each other's Christian character and usefulness. From this modest begining has grown an organization with loci', State, National and International rXa- tious, which under the motto, "Fur Christ and the church," ha.s gathered a membar ship in the United States, the British Provinces acid the missionary fields of foreign countries. of ,>vcr 2,100,000, re presenting 35,146 societies of which 29,- G79 are in the Tnited States.

A pain, we have been called upon to fol low the remains of one of our beloved to the silent city of the dead. Where jrraves are dug, the departed are bnried, mounds made, grave stones and monuments erect ed to commemorate their noble lives, gen erous deeds and beneficent act*", bo that we who live may be constrained to emulate their example, in that we too may be re membered when we lie down with them,to rise no more until the general rcsurection to appear before Ilim with Whom we have to do. Ira Stauffer. one of our he.-t citizens and neighbors, public- benefactor, faithful hus band, good and kind father, unselfish friend, and one of God's noblemen has parsed to the great beyond; but iii a life among us will not soon be forgotten, as he lives in the hearts of all who knew him and to know him was to love him. True to the principles of right, just in all his dealing-, npright in his living, sympathet ic to unfortunate ones, helpful to those who were in need, and generous to a fault, is why his loss is so greatly felt He was born in Harmony, this county, some 52 years ago, and lived there nearly ever since. He was twice married and leaves a widow and seven children who were itevotedly attached to hitn. His aged mother still survives him and he leaves two brothers and four sisters who mourn for him. He was a member of the church and at all times when attending divine services wa» much affected, especially at the funeral of a friend or comrade. He a member of the fioyal Arcauam and ali-o of Col.

His sufferings were intense. Ail was done for him that could be to restore him back t3 health, but of avail. He died on the 11th and was buried on Sabbath, the 14th inst, in the Mennon'te cemetery, where assembled one of the largist concourses of people ever assembled in said cemetery. Thus parsed away—and laid to rest by loving hands and sorrying hearts—one whom we all felt as though he was the last that could be spared, but knowing that the All wise One doeth all things well, we therefore humbly bow to His sovereign will, abiding our time with patience until our time comes, when we shall clasp hands with loved ones gone before, and dwell forever *iih the Lord.
