A dispatch fiom Washington dated April 7, said that an important feature to day in the fight for the Republican Presidential nomination was the sensa tional desertion of Senator Quay by Con gressman John B. Robinson, of Pennsyl vania, who is one of the Senator's closest personal and political friends and for many years his trusted lieutenant in his Congressional district, comprising the counties of Chester and Delaware. Speak ing to-day, entirely upon his own re sponsibility, he said he ventured the prediction that the Pennsylvania State convention on the 23d instant will be so completely dominated by the McKinley influence that the eight delegates-at large to be there chosen will be McKin ley men and instructed to vote for the Ohio man at St. Louis. THERE is some prospect of Congress passing a bill providing for the electiou of United States Senators by the people. This matter has been before Congress several times heretofore, but now Hon. John H. Mitchell, Senator from Oregon and a former citizen of Butler county, has taken hold of the subject and is making earnest effort to bring about such change in the United States Constitution as will give to the people of the several States the right and power to elect their United States Senators. Senator Mitchell should recieve and is entitled to the greatest en couragement of the people of all the States in this matter. We hope he may succeed in bringing aljout this great reform inthe mode of choosing United States Senators. Political Notes By a mistake in the footing in the elec tion table last week W. C. Findley is credited with 1336 votes where it should be 1398. Somebody, adding up the totals as they appeared in print last week, noticed that the vote for Coroner aggregated over eight thousand. He knew that was wrong, and referred the matter to the County Chairman. A recount was made and the correct totals are, John L. Jones, 1854; P. H. Sechler, 1647; C. A. Waters, 1143 and A. Thompson, 966. This nominates Mr. John L. Jones of Butler instead of Mr. Sechler of Prospect, and we congratulate Mr. Jones, and con dole with Mr. Sechler. Pennsylvania's Immodesty. New York Mail and Express (Rep.) Quakers are proverbially modest, but Quakers do not constitute the entire pop - ulation of Pennsylvania. The Keystone State is an exceedingly important, con spicuous and influential political and civ ic division of the Union. But there are others. We can see no reason why Penn sylvania should regard it so necessary for oae of her sons to be the next Presi dent of the United States as to lead her to put two candidates in the field for that office in the same campaign aud repre senting the same political party. It is true that Quay and Cameron, while nominally belonging to the same political organization in State and Na tion, really represent distinct and clash ing principles and policies, now made prominent by conditions most extraoidi nary and exceptional. Neither of them, nor both of them, can be said to repre sent the Republican party. One of them stands for certain peculiar methods in politics, which are not at this time re garded, with favor by the American people, and the other stands for a mone tary theory which is deemed to be as dangerous as it is fallacious. If Pennsylvania must have two Presi dential candidates before the country this year, let her at least, put in the field somebody representing something that the people can indorse. Otherwise she is wasting valuable time and energy which should be used in the promotion of a cause that is practicable and in the interests of a candidate who is possible. We refuse to believe that the good citi zens of the Keystone State would let.d themselves to a mere political juggling fsr spoils, or a meaningless masquerade for factional effect or personal gratifica tion. Quay Weakens on McKinley. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 6, —An in teresting story anent the presence of Matthew S. Quay and Thomas C. Piatt in this state is told by McKinley's Florida leader, who reached here from Washing ton to-day, This gentleman, who is chairman of the state Republican com mittee, learned in Washington that Quay is weakening in his opposition to McKin ley and is willing to cease fighting the Ohioau under certain conditions. Quay's change of heart in regard to McKinley come after the New Hampshire conven tion, with its double-barreled resolutions in regard to Reed and McKinley. The Pennsylvania boss became convinced that McKinley would be nominated and decided it was time to make a deal. Quay saw the McKinley Washington manager, who is another Ohio Congress man, ami said he was not unfriendly to the Ohio man and would cease to fight if assured of fair treatment for himself and friends in the matter of federal pat ronage if Mckinley should be elected. Quay was told that he and all other members of the combine would lie treated fairly by McKiniey, save Piatt. "Piatt," said McKiuleys manager, "is destroying the the Republican party in New YorV. to build up a personal machine, and he will get 110 recognition from McKinley." Quay said he would consider the mat ter, and a few hours later he and Piatt were eu route to Klorida. Piatt and Quay were in consultation here for hours last night. This morning Quay left for his hunting lodge j,n the St. Lucie, and Piatt will join him there to-morrow. licans an J rTThe I KMnncrri the resolutions. There were 10 more , votes against the report than against tlu- ■ - original resolutions. The former vote ( was 262 to 17. By its action the house , agreed to the senate resolutions and dis- , . poses of the Cuban question for the pres- ; , ent. The resolutions were as follows: Resolved, That in the opinion of con- j press a condition of public war exists be- j tween the government of Spam and the government proclaimed and for sometime maintained by force of arms by the peo pie of Cvtba, and that the Lmted States of America should maintain a strict neu- j tralitv between the contending powers, according to each all the rights of bellig erents in the ports and territory ot the United States. Resolved, further. That the fnendl> offices of the United States should be of fered to the president of the Spanish gov ernment for the recognition of the inde pendence of Cuba. The action of the house on the confer ence report on the Cuban >'is having been reported to the Senate, Mr. j Sherman made a report cn the action of the conferees. Mr. Allison suggested that ( the report of the conference was unnec essary,in view of the action of the house, as that body had receded. The resolutions will be officially, brought to the attention of the president by the secretary of the Senate, who will present him with an enrolled copy of the document. Ordinarily concurrent reso lutions are not forwarded to the presi dent, as they do not require his signature' but these resolutions will be laid before him, as the Armenian resolutions were, because they express the opinion that he should tender the kindly offices of the United States to Spain for the recogni tion of Cuban independence, and are, 1 therefore, a direction to him for his : guidance, in so far as Congress can direct • the president in such a proceeding. The appropriations in the River and Harbor bill seem to insure the slack-wa ' teringofthe Allegheny as far as Taren tum, while the slackwater system on the ' Monongahela becomes free to navigation. The bill appropriates $25,000 for the • Allegheny; also, SSO 000 for completing : the lock at Herr's Island and building two additional locks and dams,and authorizes contracts for 1594,000. Provision is made ' for a preliminary survey looking to the 1 removal of the dam in the upper Alleghe ny near Corydon, the dam at Russell and • the rapids in Conewango Creek. | HON. GALUSHA A. GROW continues to 3 make some of the ablest speeches made j in the present Congress. He should be > kept there, and we are pleased to see that 1 there will be no opposition to his renom -5 ination at our coming State Convention 1 as one of the Congressmen-at-Large. 1 It Didn't Matter in the Least. e Tbey were a party of four —all Demo- Ir crats, all dispirited, all charging up with t unhesitating generosity the party's entire 1 embarrassment to the President. Sug gestions as to the Chicago platform were going around. And so was the decanter. One of them declared that if the Na tional Convention adopted a free silver s platform the party would divide smd go 1 to wreck. Another predicted the same thing if the convention adopted a sound money platform. The South, lie asserted, ' would never submit to that. The third 1 man, without indicating precisely where r he stood, pronounced against a straddle, 5 which, he said, would butter no Demo cratic parsnips tliis year. s 44 And yet," the third insisted in chorus, ' looking at the fourth man. who had not ' yet spoken, "we must have some sort of a platform." The fourth man, after acknowledging ' the salute, and throwing off his liquor, said:— "Gentlemen, let me tell you a little story. A poor woman entered a store and called for wrappers. The salesman spread out quite an assortment 011 the counter and began his praises of the stock. Here were wrappers plain and wrappers ornamental: wrappers with or without . pockets; all sorts and 'colors and condi . tion of wrappers. Tlie woman examined the display with great care and seemed . hard to please. This spurred the sales man on, and down came from the shelves r a fresh assortment. And upon the merits t and the beauties of these the salesman held forth at length. The woman's inde cision and some of her.re marks became a little irritating. The salesman, however, looked on and continued attentive, won dering what the trouble might be. His large experience suggested that it must . be unusual. "These are all you have?" the woman inquired. "Those are all we haye, madam," the salesman replied, and we think the stock very full and fine." "Well, she remarked, after another in spection of the wrappers. I don't know as it matters so much. It's only for a corpse." —Ex. THE British people consume every year $150,000,000 worth more of grain than they produce, and in view of possi ble war complications it is proposed to keep not less than one year's supply of cereils on hand. When the Briton can sing that he has the men, the ships, the money and the corn, he maybe consider ed in good shape for all contingencies. Their Last Hope. And now it is said that ex-President Harrison is the last hope of the combine to defeat McKinley in the St. Louis convention. The managers are repre sented to have come to tbc unwilling conclusion that unless they can turn the convention to General Harrison, McKin ley will be the nominee as sure! y as the sun rises and sets. It would be an odd freak of desperate politics if Mr. Quay and Mr. Piatt and Mr. Clarkson were to try to nominate General Harrison. They have been say ing that McKinley is a Harrison kind of man, which, being interpreted, means that he would be his own President; the head of his own administration. It was because Harrison was the kind of President they fear McKinley will be that they devoted all their talent and all their great energies to compass his de feat in the Minneapolis convention. They looked about for a club to beat Har rison with and thought they had found it in Mr. Blaine. They had no more love for Mr. Blaine than they have for General Harrison now. I They did not defeat General Harrison with Mr. Blaine. They will not defeat Major McKinley with General Harrison. They will just be run over by the great Rep. party, which never had less reason than now to let two or three men to do its thinking for it. The Republican masses have not the least doubt as to what they want, and they know exactly how to get it.— Ex. Foca steamers arrived at New York one day last we-lr having on board 345.1 immigrants.

Therefore, when a man did not have a fall load of ram. or was only ha.t drunk, he was described as carrying a "jag" in contradistinction to the man who was fuil up to the neck. Why is a male cat called Tom ?—Asx -lOOS ISyCIRKB, That is another timely question, and one that should have been asked long ago. In the days of ancient Home, the Thomas I cat was called a 'Dominus tat meaning the master, male, or lord cat. Tt subse quently became Tom, or Thomas. In re gard to the she cat, our ancient saxtn bietheru calltd her grey-uialkin -hort Mary, or, properly "Little Moll. One of the witches iu "Macbeth" says, "I come, . Grsymalkin."
