THE CITIZEN EatereJ at Po«toBf« at Batler at 2d cl*»« matter WlLl.ua C. K9UT, P.btum THURSDAY, JANUARY 2. 1896. Waahington Notes. Speaker Reed announced his commit tees on the Saturday before Christmas; and the two Houses in response to the President's message on the financial ques tion pigeon-holed the holiday recess re solution, and went to work to relieve the treasury by increasing the revenue. The Republican leaders propose restoring the duties on lumber, wool and woolen goods, and increasing all the Wilson bill duties from 20 to 25 per cent. Reed took his friend and neighbor of Maine, for Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Cannon of Illinois for Appropriatons, Henderson of lowa for the Judiciary, Hitt of Illionois fot Foreign Affairs, Loudenslager of New Jersey for Pensions, Phillips for Labor, Grow for Education, etc. Dalzell of Allegheny county is on the Ways and Means and Rules committees, and Stone has a place on the Appropri ations. . Mew York got 10 chairmanships, I enn sylvania 9, lowa 6 and Maine 3; which, some claim, shows a combination be » tween Quay, Piatt, Clarkson.and Reed. On Thursday Dingley's measure in, creasing the tariff on lumber, wool, etc and a 15 per cent horizontal increase all other duties passed the house after a three hours debate by a vote of 205 to 81. It is estimated that the bill, if it becomes a law, will increase the customs duties by $40,000,000 a year. The United States senate, by unani mous vote, and without the formality of a roll call, passed the bill already adopt ed by the house of representatives, em powering the president to appoint a commission to determine the Venezuelan British Guiana boundry. This action was the culmination of a debate adding a memorable page to con gressional history, It was a day of not able speeches by notable men. The sub ject of war between the United States and Great Britain was the prevailing theme, which found expression in lofty patriotic sentiments, in stirring appeals for preparation and defense, in graphic portrayals of the horrors of war, and at times in defiant warnings to the people across the water. At all times during the foar hours of discussion the galleries were besieged by an eager crowd, whose patriotic impulses found frequent expression in applause which the presiding officer sought vainly to suppress. The most notable utterances of the day were those of Senators Sherman, Teller, Mills, Lodge, Piatt, Turpie, Chandler, White, Caffrey, Call and Stewart, repre senting the three shades of political sen timent, and yet in the main uniform in urging the support of the president, vigorous assertion of the Monroe doc trine, and' if need be, any action essen tial to maintain the national dignity. The pronunciameiito of Hon. T. W. Phillips, wired from Washington, is taken here as an announcement of his can didacy .After stating the mode of nominat ing in this district he says "If I enter the race I would be pleased if each candidate would announce in all four counties. Fair minded delegates could be selected who would do justice to all. I would also hope that all candidates would pro nounce against the use of money in the canvass, and that they might agree that no money should be used aside from per sonal expenses and travel but what may be assessed equally upon each by the county organizations, of course including the regular price to newspapers for mak ing announcementof names. This would be in strict accord with our last Republi can state platform, which emphatically pronounces against the use of money in politics. It would be most appropriate that the Twenty-fifth district should take a decided stand against this growing and great evil, with all its corrupting influen ces. The large use of money in our state and national politics is becoming a men ace to our free institutions. The action upon this subject by our last Republican convention was most timely and should be far-reaching in its effects." PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has appoint ed Supreme Court Justice Brewer, R. H. Alvcy and D. C. Gillman of Maryland, and A. D. White and F. R. Condert of New York to the Venezuelan commis sion. THE war in Cuba is becoming interest iugr -The rebel generals outwitted the Spanish, got between their army and Havana, and are threatening the city. WAI.L STREET was badly rattled a few days ago. The fear of war between this country and England, is causing Euro pean holders of our stocks and securities tc sell them. THE Russian government has accumu lated several hundred millions of gold: and offers to lend our government S4OO, 000,000 without interest—an offer that brought the Rothchilds and their New York agents to time with an offer of any amount at 3 per cent, Cooperstown Pa The people were again delighted with a pleasant entertainment and Xraas tree which was given by the M. E. S. S. at Ekas Hall, Tuesday eve. Bee 24th. The entertainment was managed by Mrs. Emery and Mrs. Baugherty with Miss Nellie Buroh as Organist.

Anthony, Mablo Daugherty, Bose Raisley. Bertha MeClay, Ella Watters, Mollie Graig, Pearl Daugherty, inolnding the Leador and Organist certainly deserve great oredit as their marching and the drill was perfect. This was followed by a tableaux by Mrs. Baugherty, Nellie Burch and Chas Newell. The song Oh Happy Days rendered by Misses Burch and Daugh erty was highly appreciated by all present The entertainment was then olosed by singing Hail Santa Bail, after which ap peared Santa Claus giving the children and audience a treat, as far as was pos sible to reach owing to the crowded house.

All these, however, merely form a ; setting for the bright and sparkling ' thoughts contributed hy Columbia riders everywhere; for such a host of friends has > the Calendar acquired that it has become a ' customary practice for wheelmen all over i the country to jot down their best thoughts and inspirations after being subjected to i the exhiliratiug influence of a Columbia t ride, and to send them iu to brighten its 3 pages. Tho many sketches that embellish its pages render it iudeed a work of art. Owing to the unusual demand last ear a usacb larger edition has b-ea issued for 1890.
