The Duty of the United Statef.
Is the United State* of America, ths
leading Republic of the world, a big, sel
■-..h, cowardly and ungrateful boolyt
Haa it no sense of right or jnsticeT The
Cuban insurgent* have beea engaged for
many months in the moat heroic struggle
for freedom — man's natural birthright—
that ever characterized an outraged and
downtrodden people. The story of their
•offerings and deprivation i» tven more
aool-otirring than the annals of \ alley
Forge. The Cubans; by their devotion to
tile iiin-e of Libertj, haye won the right to
freed one But the United States Govern
ment looks stolidly on and never raises its
voice even in the name of humanity. The
Cut an insurgents should long ago have
beer i-cegnised a* belligerents. Had
France failed to recognise us as such dur
ing car revolutionery struggle we might
■uil) be under the yoke of Britain.
Bat Spain, cruel, blood thirsty, semi-bu
barous Spain, can starve or chop to pieces
the C' l ban patriots, and the United States
!» as silent an tbe grave. Spain recognized
the confederates aa belligerents within
forty dsy after Bull Run, a battle not
uiorc bloody or desisive than many that
have b" n fought by the Cibans against
their oppressor. Now Senor Canovas del
Castillo. Prime Minister of Spain, has is
rned a B.MUlwrto warning the Cuban in
surgents that death or banishment awaits
them ill. "Will the United States permit
.his foul play to be enacted? Will the
historian le compelled to record her shame
ful oonduct is this instanoe as against the
g..nous example ot Franctt Are we not
imbued with the true spirit of libertjt
These belligerents have organiied to con
fiuot negotations with foreign States.
There never was a more righteous cause.
There u but one plain, imperative course
open t-> the Uni»ed States, and that is to
reply to tbe murderous manifesto of SpaiD
that the Cubau insurgents must an.! shall
bo t-eatod as belligerents of war. in ac
cordance with the laws of nations and tbe
0 >mmon instincts of humanity and civili
sation. Will the represenatives of the
United State* at Washington do this, or
will they plsce upon tbe immaculate robe
of the Goddess of Liberty tbe indeliide
stain of ingratitnde, irjustioe, cowardice
and bloodf—Spirit.
Why Gold Goes Out.
Theie is no mystery whatever about the
heavy shipments of gold to Europe, the
Oouliuaed depletion of tbe Treasury reserve
and the consequent necessity of another
bond issue, witt a heavy addition to the
national debt. The shameful inadequacy
of tt)e Democratic tariff is the primary
oause ot" the whole difficulty. Tbe total
exports of American products lrom Jan. 1,
1805, 10 Sept. 13 were C 21,514,603 less
they were for the corresponding period
of last year. The total Imports of foreign
products fwin Jan. I, to Sept. 15 was $61,-
#29,800 more than they were for the same
month* ot 1894. Tbe direct loss to this
country in the shrinkage of its sales abroad
and in tbe increase of tbe amount it has
paid for foieign goods in the past eight
and a half is more than $83,000,-
000.
Of course, tinier a tariff which cuts down
our sales bhroad and swells our purchases
abroml at tbe combined rate of ten millions
a month, we must ship great quantities of
gold to Burope. Kuropesn merchants and
demsnd bard cash for their
prMucU. If we boy of them under the
iiCJiocratic tariff, instead of buying of our
own countrymen, as we did under the Mc-
Kialey law, we recessarily set in operation
an flriin of gold from these shores.
This fsot has been repeatedly pointed out
by protectionists. Free traders have sneer
iugiy declared that it was not a fact but a
fallacy, since aader a lower tariff we were
certain lo increase our exports until we
had conquered 'the markets of the world.'
We have tbe lower tariff, but we are sell
ing f*r '.4ss of our products abroad than
we did under Republican protection. In
'jther W'ads, we are robbing ourselves, in
juring our own manufacturers and empty
our National Treasury in order to benefit
Europe.
Political Notes.
Tho Syracuse, New York, convention

tirrs in years," says an old attendant, that
prayer was said in a Democratic state con'
yentiou. As a sign of awakening to the
WifkeJi.iss of the party all good citizens
will commend the manifestation.
Tbe expressions of some of tbe Republi
oau newspapers in tbe Huntingdon-Mifllin
judicial district indioate that thero will be

and H. J. CulberUon, of Mifflin, running.
Such a result, if tbat is what it is to be,

under which it is a good deal easier not to

ped, an example made of some of these
ruffians ought to have a good effect.
While the water works scheme is still

A closely contested game of base ba'l
between the Saxonburg and Fulton clubs
occurred Thursday. The Fultons had
Simson, a professional, as their pitcher

way above par. For the Saxonburg
nine, Helmbo'd and Schroth acted as
the battery and barring a,little witdness
in the 3d and 4th innings on the part of
Helmbold, their work was of the git
edge order. The batting of Butch and
Ormany were the features of the game.
We understand that Harry Fair is still
not satisfied and intends bringing a nine
of professionals to our town. This is
just what our boys would like. So

tion, and we will trounce them. The

in the oountj being present. Tbe writer
WHS not present at all the sessions of tile
convention therelore will not attempt to 1
make a r. port of the work done by the con- j
vention. I had the pleasure of attending ;
the Thursday afternoon and evening, and j
Fiid»y evening sessious T'le meeting!
Thursday afternoon was a business meet- j
ing, many think that women assembled in 1
a body could not transact business, but if
they nad been present at this meeting ttey j
would have seen that they understood the |
buidr.es? before them and disposed of it in j
a highly creditable manner. Thursday j
evening's session opened with music by
the choir, reading a scripture lesson, and
by prayer. The address ot welcome by
Ira il Graham was well delivered, and ,
wa-> well received by tbe visiting ladies,
and by all present. * The response by Miss
Dodds was brief but well given
and to the point and was highly
spoken of by all w;bo heard it.
tine oftha most interesting exercises of;
the evening was a song by a class of little i
girls so ire of them not more than three 1
years old, this would have to be seen ar.d j
iieard to he appreciated. They received a i
hearty applause from the entire audience,
and the Jittle song. ters left the platform
feeling justly ptoud of what for them wus
more thin a success.
Next was the address of Mrs Price of
Petrolia: Subject Christian Citizenship.
The sptaker was earnest and interesting
throughout the entire lecture, and showed
that she thoroughly understood her sub
ject, and thoao who failed to hear Mrs

the doxology, Praise God from whom all

Ttje programme for Friday evening was
the lecture by Homer L. Castle of Pitta

lecture said many good and true things.
He commented on the lukewarmness
and indifference of the Christian s.;ying;
Yon have seven christian churches iu your
town, with a populatian of fr< m thirteen
hundred to fifteen hundred. Why if all
the members of'hese churches were alive
to their responsibilities as members of
Christ's Chnrch you should have christian
ized every citizen ol the place long ago.
And yet there are those whose names are
on the roll of the church and at the fame
time on a petition for a license to sell
whiskey lo them and their fellow protes
tors. *A professor of Christianity signing a
petition to license a business winch is aud
always will be in direct opposition to tbe
advarcetnent of Christ's cause in the *orld
ts gn anomaly which is hard t<> um'er
stand. With this lecture closed the busi
ness of the convention and the women of
the W. C. T. U. leil for their homes on

and prayers ot all interested with them iu

The Kittanning school board has a legal
case on its hauds, the outcome of which
will be awaited "vith interest by school
directors and teachers alike all over the
State. It is for a judicial decision on the
force and effect of school teachers } early
contracts with the boards of directors.
No case is on record touching the ques
tion whether a teacher signing a contract
can break it w ithout the board's consent
and teach elsewhere. The directors of
the local school have decided that con
tracts bind both parties. They want the
question settled. It is brought up by the
action of a teacher who signed a contract
to teach in the Kittanning schools, and
did so for two weeks, wheu she accepted
another school at Oakmont, Allegheny Co.
and sent her resignation to the Kittanning
board. The latter will apply to the Al

A C -v Story.
William Hinton, a farmer residing oue
mile east of Mochanisburg, Ohio, is the
owner of a cow that no one will either
milk or venture within soveral bund/ed
feet of. Mr. Hinton last year leased his
farm to an oil company to drill lor oi'. or
gas, and a lew days ago the com
pmy shot the well. The drilled lorgot to
put iu a place of safety tho sticks ol dyna
mite not used wnen they stopped work
Mr. Hinton's cow wandered
to the derrick, and when he
went to drive her back to the field he saw
her swallow four sticks of dynamite. He
offered a reward of SIOO to the person who
would run the risk of being blown to
pieces. At dufk the animal lotind its
way to the barn, and has been there ever
since. Mr. Hinton's home is about 100
feet from the barn. Since the animal has
entered tho barn Mr. Hinton and his
family have been staying at the house of a

To do this, she

heart's bappine** has been wrecked be
cause of a crop of pimple* or because of a
foul brenth, or because of some other un
pleasant symptom of an irregularity in the
performance of her natural functions.
Health In a woman brings clear complex
ion, red lips, vivacity, *parkle of eyes and
intellect. Eternal watchfulness is the price
of health. The downward road to disease
i* fatally easy to travel. Little disorders,
little irregularities, little drain*, lead to the
most serious consequences. Put a stop to

examinations and "local treatment" so
much dreaded by modest women. In nine
cases in ten, there is absolutely no need of
them. Tbe "Favorite Prescription" has
been prescribed by Dr. Pierce for over 30
years and has cured the Very worst forms
of female troubles.

Running Chances
is the man who buys the cheap and poor
ly made clothing simply because it is
cheap. There are just as good bargins
to be had in good grades of goods, such
Vor instance as our #25.00 Clay Diagonal
Suits.
Running Chances is the man who
rushes from this "alteration sale" to that
"closing out barga ins." The safe way
is to patronize the firm that does busi
ness 011 the same principles you do.
You know that you have to deal with
then. You get honest goods for honest
prices, and don't save twenty-five cents
here to throw away seventy-five cents
there.
Chances are Not Running away from
you, but you are running away from the
chances for the best bargins of the year
in Suits and Overcoats when you fail to
look at our immense stock.
Running ( bances is the man who buys
now when he can have us make him a
fine Overcoat for $22.00.
