McQUISTION. The Essential Issue. Mr. Quay's persistent opposition to the passage of the apportionment bills in the Legislature convinced Gov. Hastings that he could not manage his administration successfully if he did not throw off the Quay yoke and appeal to the party for fair play. If he had tamely surrendered, he would haye been compelled to serve out his whole term under the tutelage and direction of Mr. Quay. The primary and essential issue before the party in the election of a chairman of the State committee is whether its organi zation shall be manipulated by one man in accordance with the well-known methods of the Cameron-Quay dynasty, or whether there shall be something like equal participation in its management by Republicans who have enough ability and character to be something more than mere dependants or servitors. This is by no means a new issue. It is an old, but oft suppressed one. This, however, is the first time when It hat been clearly set before the party. If Gov. Hastings were the original aggressor, as the Quay ad herents are so studious in trying to show, that fact will not lessen popular respect for him or weaken his cause. In the sight of the Quay organs it seems to be a high crime and misdemeanor; but in the sight of the plain people it is a refreshing evidence of the right kind of independ ence within the lines of the party. The success of the Hastings movement will mean that the Governor shall enjoy the privilege of managing his high office with his responsibility not to Mr. Quay, but to the people, and that is what the State administration has primarily sought for in its advocacy of the re-election of Chairman Gilkeson. The popular favor which has attended the Governor's efforts to free himself and his administration from dictation has been largely strengthened by the general desire in the party to rid itself of farther reapona ibility for J. Donald Cameron's misrepre sentation of the State in the Senate. The defeat of Qnay for chairman of the State committee is essential to the defeat of Cameron for another term in the Senate. That phase of hhe campaign is clearly nnderstood by every intelligent Republi can in the State. "Without Quay's aid, Cameron will be practically helpless; with it the same old battle would need to be fought in the next Legiilature against the entrenched machine, and the will of the people would in all likelihood again be oheated.— Pkila. BulUtin. CURIOSITY ha* a more or less prominent part in the make-up of every man, and many a fakir and (harper ha* used this trait in the average human as a means to grow rich. Out in Canton, Ohio, accord ing to exchanges, an enterprising individ ual ia perfecting a plan whereby the cariosity to see a real oollision between two railroad trains may be gratified by all who are willing to put up the necessary coin of the realm. A railroad three miles long has been built, on each end of whioh a locomotive hitched to four fiat oars load ed with stone will be placed. On a oer tain day the locomotives will be fired up, and when a full head of steam iB gathered, engineers will pull the throttles wide open, jump from the cab and Jet them go toward each other and meet in collision. A rath er expensive sport, as looomotivea cost a goodly sum, and wonld in all probability be totally wrecked, but the originator ex pects to make money out of the admission fees. Two Wise Old Saws. It is wise to estimate the future by the experiences of the past. A man is judged by the company he keeps. Applying these proverbs to Mr. Quay and his efforts for his own advancement and to secure power in the Republican party, we conclude: I—That1 —That Mr. Quay is looking ahead for fature business in the line of politics, for himself, for his associate, Mr. Cameroc, for the oontrol of the Republican party, for the distribution of patronage in his own interest; 3—That Mr. Quay means to attain these ends by and through Republican agencies if he oan, but by Democratic help if he must; 3—That Mr. Quay is friendly with the Democrats and that their friendship with him means satisfactory advantages to them if be shall be successful. How any intelligent citiien, cinversant with political affairs and events, can reach any other oonolusioni is inexplicable. Quay has been engaged in politics as a business for years. He has helped Cam eron. Both of them want to dominate the Republican party in their own and mntual interests. Both want to distribute pa tronage for the aid there is in it to their machine organization. Quay means,Cameron and Quay's success will stand for both himself and Cameron to control the Republican party if he can; bnt he is not above resorting to Demo cratic help if he needs it—note the recent Apportionment defeat by the help of I)em oratic votes. And the Democrats do not help for nothing, nor for statesmanship nor patriotic reasons.— Doyleutown Intelligen cer, Hep. Dodging va. Answering. Philadelphia Press. Senator Quay and Col. Gilkeson were both asked whether they wee tor or against Mr. Cameron's re-election as Sena tor. Here are their responses. QUAY DODOES. GILKESON ANSWERS. I am a personal friend of Senator Inasmuch as the Cameron, and our Hon. J. D. Cameron official relations arc is in favor of the most agreeable. He free coinage of si!ver, bas never intimated and believing that to me his desire for such a national poli re-electicn. and it cy would be disas would certainly be trous to the great ag out of place lor me ricultural, manufac to declare either forturing and commer or sgainst my col- cial interest* of Penn leegue in the ab-lylvania, I cannot aence of his pro- favor Mr. Cameron as nonnced candidacy, a candidate for the which can in no Presidency, nor as a wise be affected by Senator from Penn tbe pending contro- sylvania to succeed versy. himself. THI matter of diet is a moral one, to a far greater extent than we are accustom ed to admit. Both in quantity and qual ity it effects not only our bodily health and mental energy, but also our characters. The same rules cannot be laid down for everyone. The amount of food that will bring the faculties of one person into healthful activity will deaden those of an other; and the stimulating nourishment that is healthful for one is poisonous to an other. Every one owes it to birnself to study the matter intelligently, with what •ver helps he can obtain, and to say to ap petite, "Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther." An Indian Outbreak. The Indians of the north-western part of "Wyoming, just south of Yellowstone Park, are somewhat on the war-path, but the re ported massacre of the inhabitants of Jackson's Hole turned out to be a fake. An exchange says th%t "the discontent and present hostile attitude of the Ban nock Indians are due to an attempt of the Wyoming authorities to overrule by vir tue of an acc of their Legislature a treaty of the United States. Wyoming has its game laws and attempts to apply those laws to the Indians, who have a contract with the National Government by which they are allowed to hunt on the unoccu pied lands of the United States in consid eration ef making their permanent home in a Government reservation. They have performed their part of the contract, bat when they propose to exercise the privi lege of hunting guaranteed them by the United States Government they are ar rested and fined for violating the game laws of Wyoming. Not content with this some of the white frontier ruffians fired into the band of Indians, killed a number oi them and so incensed the whole tribe that it is now on the warpath. The Bcene of the disturbance is directly south of Yellowstone Park. It is a splen did game country, and it has been pro posed to include it within the park. There is a propriety in this proposition consider ing the national park as a game preserve and not simply as the scene of great natur al curiosities. The Bannock Indians at present have a right to hunt there. No law of Wyoming can contravene a treaty of the United States, even though that treaty is made with a comparatively in* significant band of Indians. The latter know nothing of the Wyoming game laws. They only know that being on a peaceful expedition and within their treaty rights they were arrested, fined and some of their number killed. No wonder these Indians are gathering together in force and that the law-abiding white settlers of that region are alarmed. The latter unfortu nately are usually the victims ol these In dian outbreaks provoked by the frontier ruffians, whose brutalities have caused oountless Indian wars, in which much better people were cruelly punished by the indiscriminating red men." ATTOENBT-GBNBEAI. McCormick lately sent an opinion to the Department of Pub lic instruction, which practically suspend* work under the Compulsory Education law until next year. The fourth section of the act requires Assessors to make a regis tration, at the spring assessment or direct ly thereafter, of all children in their re spective districts between eight and thir teen years of age, so that the county Com missioners oan certify the names to the secretaries of the several districts. As the act was not approved until May 23rd, after the spring assessment had been com pleted in all the counties, the Attorney- General decides that the section must re fer to tbe assessment in the spring of 1896, and he has so instructed the Department of Public instruction. This decision will save the expense of a special registration this year —a work that had already been entered upon in some of the counties. A MONUMENT will be erected to mark the spot where General Washington with his army crossed the Delaware December 25, 1776, to attack the British at Trenton. The Bucks oounty historical society, of this State, took the matter in charge and appointed a committee consisting of John 8. Williams, Thomas C. Knoles, Robert Eastbnrn and Henry C. Mercer. They s met and accepted from Mrs. Twinning, of Stockton, N. J., a stone weighing two tons, from which the monument will be out. The form of the monument will be that of an obelisk, eight feet high, with base, tbe whole resting on a foundation laid in cement, rough-dressed on three sides, the fourth chisel-dressed and bear ing a suitable inscription. Performed A Great Work. The death of Dr. A. W. Crawford, at Emlenton, on July 14th, removed not only a genial and highly respected citisen of the oil regions, but a man who, in bis time played a most important part in the his tory of petroleum. While United States oonsul at Belgium 30 years a£o, he suc ceeded in bringing the attention of tbe European world to tbe merits of tbe ne«v American illumlnant, and established it as a permanent article of export. Tbe work of Dr. Crawford in this respect was of the greatest importance, and the mark et that he nelped to create hsbs grown to enormous proportions. These were two fortuitous circumstances oonnected with the early history of petrol eum developments that have reoeived lit tle attention from the chroicler of the events relating to tbe beginn ng of tbe oil industry. First was the fact that Colonel Drake chanced upon the shallowest spot in the oil region* where petroleum might have been foand, when he located the first well, and second, when the time camo for the introduction of the light a progressive, citizen of the oil ocantry, represented the United States at Antwerp, and was able to exert his influence in quelling European prejudices against the new American light and assist the export ers in establishing a market for it, making it one of the staple artioles of export of the new world to the old. These two circumstances had much to do with the building np of the great Amer ican indastry. Had Drake chanced upon a dry hole, bad some other man than Dr. Crawford been United States oousnl at Antwerp the development of the industry might have proceeded ju»t the same, hat it would have been postponed probably for many yearn, and the whole history of oildom might yet have remained unwrit ten. Dr. Crawford modestly disclaimed any credit to himself for the important part he preformed in introducing the new pro duct to a foreign land, but the fact re mains that he was at the right spot, at the right time to do the right thing and that he was the right man for the doing of it. Antwerp became the leading port of con tinental Europe for the petroleun trade, and Antwerp qaotations on refined oil ruled the business oentre* of the old world from London to Bombay, and from Pekin to Yeddo. —Oil City Derrick. A Cypher That Didn't Work. The story is told of a prominent oil producer of Pittsburg, who was putting down a wild-oat well a few years ago. He was naturally anxious to keep the re sult a profound secret, so that, if he made a strike, be might secure some leases in the vicinity before the news got out. He was on the ground all the time, but two days before the well came in was called home He arranged with his contractar to telegraph him as soon as the drill reached the sand He knew, however, that secrets will sometimes leak out of a telegraph office, and so he told the drill er that the sentence, "Pine trees grow tall' would mean that he had struck oil. The driller promised to do as he was ordered. The mingled satisfaction and vexation of the producer may be imagined when two days later he received the following telegram: "Pine trees grow tall, she's squirting clean over tbe derrick." His hope that he should have no com petitors for leases was disappointed. Lutherann at IdletctM.

Clanon Captured. The survivors of tfce Sixty-third, One Hundred and first and One Hundred and Third Regiments, Pennsylvania Volun teers. held a delightful and memorable re union at Clarion, Tuesday. They were royally entertained at the hotels of the town at the expence ot the citizens. The publio buildings, business houses and residences were gaily and profusely decorated with flags and bunting. About 500 survivors of the regiments named went there and between two aud three hundred other old soldiers As a special trair. having on board just one hundred of the veterans was nearing the depot at 2 p. m., a salute of 31 rounds was fired from the town cannon, the gilt of the late General Greenland. In the parade that afternoon, Mrs, Agnes M. Hays, a daughter of General Alex Hays, the first colonel of the Sixty third. marched with the veterans of that regiment. At the park Burgess Ross, on behalt of the citizens, dpoke cordial words of wel coma, after which the veterans were as signed to their quarters at the different hotels. There was an enthusiastic oamp fire in Normal Hall that night. The bmithsand Haipcr. John B. Brown made a highly interest ing capture Wednesday evening in She nango township. The information on whioh the arrest was made was lodged with Alderman Bowman Wednesday evening, and was made by G. C. Harper, the well known South Mill street butcher. The information makes the charge of adultry against Thos. H- Harper a brother of the prosecutor. Another information was also lodged against Mrs. Eva Smith, of Sbenango township making the same charge, and by 10 o'clock Detective Brown bad gathered them in and had tbem on their way to the county jail. The story cf the informant runs as follow*: Tom Harper lived near Millers town, Butler county, with his wife and six children until a year or more since. Mr. ana Mrs. Smith also lived there. Last summer, the Smiths went to Ohio and Thomas Harper it is claimed went there with tbem. They all lived there together for about 8 months when tbey came to this county and took up their residence in Sheango township Harper secured work at the tin plate works. It is thought be was employed on the construction of the new buildings. Meanwhile Harper's wife and six children lived at Millerstown, Bailer coanty, and are said to have been in a starving condition. Finally Harper's brother took pity on the wife and children and made these in lormations. The warrants were given to John B. Brown, and he started out about 8 o'clock to bring in the parties Going to the house where the Smiths and Harper live, he found Mrs. Smith near the bouse and did not make her acquainted with his mission just at the first by any means. He felt sure Harper was nearby and he wanted both of them. Asking Mrs. Smith if Harper was there, she answered: "Yes, did you want to Hee bimT" Mr. Brown re sponded: "Yes I want to see him about a little matter. I wanted to see him about why he is not sending more money over to his wife-" Mrs. Smith stated that it that Was all it would be all right, and that they were very much afraid of a police man coming. Suspicion being thus al layed, Harper, who was lying in some weeds at a short distance from the house, jumped to bis feet and came towards Mr. Brown. When he came up close enough the detective said to both of tbem, "I want you both. Come along wfth me." They both came, and were committed to jail to await a hearing Monday morning next at 0 o'clock. The log house in which tbey lived was near Sheep Hill. The woman had a razor in one of her stockings, and when arrested, gavo it to her husband. She appeared to have great solicitude for Harper, and said: "I would do anything to save Tom from going to prison."— Xetc Cattle Uiuirdian CHICAGO, Philadelphia and Toronto are clamoring for the privilege of hanging a man named Holmes, who while in the drug business in the different cities, made I a business of poisoning people.

Miss Sadie Pieil spent several days at Tarentum, but returned in time for the dance. Professor Knoch is decorating the out side of the opera house with several coats of Buff paint. Something the opera house was sadly in need of. Elmer Helmbold is training for another road race, and hopes this time to land a winner. Mrs. Helmbold, Clarence and Jimrnie, arrived home last Friday, after a weeks sojourn at Evans City. Some people seem to delight in holding political offices and do not heed the law in regard to offices that are incompatible. The case of the Post-master at Saxonburg is one which should be looked into as in addition to being Postmaster, he is secre tary of the School Board and Town Clerk. These latter offices are paying ones, and according to the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania cannot be held by any person holding an office under the U. S. Government. The postmaster's attention has been called to this law, but he persists in hanging on. The attention of the school directors and town council has also been called to this matter, but it seems they either don't care or for some reason or other do not demand a resignation. If the postmaster will not resign it is the duty of both the town council and school board to oust him. The very few hats, ribbons and other millinery goods left over trom spring stock at McKee's, will be sold at actual cost to make room for fall goods. Call and see.
