The resolution for an investigation of recent bond issues was taken np in the senate Thursday, and Mr. Hill made a sensational and dramatic speech in op position. The New York senator defend ed Secretary Carlisle and his administra tion of the treasury against loose insinua - tions of irregularity. He denounced the resolution" and as containing "a mean contemptible insinuation." He asked would any senator make a direct charge, and there was no reply. He said the prevalence of charges of irregularity and wrong was shown by the recent public allegations of Senator Chandler that the friends of Mr. McKin. ley were conducting "a boodle cam paign." Mr. Hill said he had nothing to say against Mr. McKinley. He admir ed him for bis courage. He says he is a candidate instead of saying he is "in the hands of his friends." Mr. Hill's experience was, he said, that a man who started "in the hands of his friends," wound up "in the hands of the enemy." '•I had supposed Mr. McKinley was making an honorable canvass," proceed ed Mr. Hill, "until I read the Chandler statement. The Chandler charges were sent to the desk and read in full. Mr. Chandler sat on the Republican Ale, smiling as the reading proceeded. After the reading had concluded Mr. Hill went on: These charges have not been met, he said. No answer had been submitted to the serious accusations of Mr. Chandler. Reflections on his motive were no answer to the charges. Why, asked Mr. Hill, was there not an investigation? "Here are charges of corrupt use of money to buy up a presidential nomina tion," exclamed Mr. Hill. "Here are charges of a levy on the protected inter ests to secure a platform in accordance with their desires, "But no senator —not even the senator from Kansas—asks for an investigation. Here is an offense against the franchise, a stab at our institutions, when it is charged that 1250,000 has been raised to and yet no investigation is proposed. Let the Chandler charges be investigated, too. Let us do it now, before the heat of this political campaign comes on." Mr. Hill next passed on the sugar in vestigation and ridiculed its results. One senator had the courage to say to the in vestigation committee. "Yes," he haJj dealt in sugar. "Did it hurt him?,' askjH ed Mr. Hill. "No; to-day he is the caiy didate and favorite son of the leading Republican state of the union for the presidency, with a host of friends and supporters:" CONGRESS is branding "filled cheese" as a similar food fraud to oleomargerine. The House has passed a bill by a vote of nearly three to one requiring manufactur ers to pay a tax of £4OO annually, whole sale dealers 1250, and retail dealers fi2 and imposes heavy fines for violating the law. It requires the branding of "filled cheese" as such and its sale only from original packages, and dealers to keep posted a conspicuous sign of "Pilled Cheese sold here." Pilled cheese is made of skimmed milk and neutral lard front the slaughter houses of Chicago, and and costs about four and a half cents a pound to make. Its manufacture has largely incr eased in the last few years and not only was driving the legitimate article from the market but was bringing disrepute on the latter in foreign markets to which large quanitities were formerly exported. The bill taxing and branding the filled article w»s passed bv the Re publicans of the House, only eleven of them voting against it, while the Demo crats voted solidly against the hill. That vote should return to plague the men who cast it against such a measure in lie half of the large dairy interests of this country and of the consuming public. The Canvass up to Date.

At the meeting of the Republican Dis trict Convention in New Castle, Monday, M. S. Quay of Beaver, and S. Perkins of Mercer county, were selected as Dele gotes to the National Convention from this district, and E. E. Abrams of Butler was recommended for Presidential Elec tor. Samuel Miller, of Mercer and William Wallace, of Lawrence were named as alternates. Jno. P, Elkin was indorsee! for state chairman, and Quay for Presi dent. The Butler Co. delegation might as well have staid at home for they found when they arrived in New Castle, that the other three counties had everything arranged. The reports of the convention sent to the Pittsburg Gazette and Dispatch state that "a standing vote for President was taken and amid great hurrahs every member of the convention stood up for Quay." That was not the case. Two members of the delegation from this county Dr. Dennison of Bruin and E. R. Kennington of Saxonburg did not stand up. -At Bruin a vote was taken on Presi dent at the late primary, and the resu.t was 79 for McKinley and 11 for Quay. George Robinson was chairman of the convention, and H. H. Goucher was a member of the committee on resolu tions. The Republican State Convention meets at Harrisburg, today, and quite a number of our citizens, including our two dele gates went on yesterday, A Dispatch from Harrisburg dated Monday, said: The eight national delegates at large have not been announced by the Quay ites. Senator Quay says that he wants Gov. D. H. Hastings selected, as the ex ecutive will nominate him at St. Louis. The others supposed to be slated are James Elverson, Philadelphia; J. B. Ray monds, Altoona; Joseph Bosler, Montgom ery. Others mentioned are Lieut. Gov. Walter Lyon, Allegheny; "Francis J. Tor rance, Allegheny; Charles A. M'nor, Wilkesbarre; Dr. Theodore L. Flood, Crawford county, and Samuel Daven port, Erie. The first battle of the day (probably settled by this time) is for the State Chairmanship. Since Quay announced he would not be a candidate for re-elec tion, two candidates have loomed up— John P. Eikin of Indiana county and Prank W. Leech of Phil*—both of whom have made fuite ah eflirt for the place. It is supposed that Grow will be renom inated for Congressman-at-Large, and that James S. Beacom of Greensburg will be the other nominee. Besides our two delegates to the State Convention, Dr. Leighner and Reuben Shanor, the following Butler Co. men are in Harrisburg today—W. H. Ritter, A. B. C. McFarland, W. J. Marks, Eli Robin son, A. M. Campbell, John Gilliland, Alex Frazier, W. H. Grove, S. Frankle, Harry Graham, S. Flanagan, C. F. L. McQuistion, Dr, Black, M A. Berkimer, J. W. Hutchison, L. A. Sutton, W. C. | McCandless, David Garrett, Filmore Harper snd Jack Walker. On Wednesday the fight for chairman ship,had became so hot,and was making so much trouble for Quay that he sent for Elkin and Leach and told them he would again take the place himself. Beacom of Greensbnrg was put off the slate for Congressman at Large, and Davenport of Erie put on to smooth over some promises made by Andrews. At the caucus Leach got the better of Penrose as to the program for to-day; and last night Leach started a campaign in his own behalf, and before midnight lFwas being ctrcuiaieu ...... mc yuay orders would lie disobeyed by his own people and that Leach would be made State Chairman. A small crowd of boys burning red fire was led through the streets by a band. Immediately in front of the band was a colored man bearing a 'banner upon which is inscribed this rtrange device: Frank Willing Leach is the people's choice for State Chairman. Mr. Leach also had circulars distribut ed which allege that Senator Quay and W. H. Andrews were booming John P. Elkin for State Chairman, because they want to apply at least $20,000 of the next Republican campaign fund to paying the expenses of the Penrose-Andrews-Lexow committee, The money used by that peculiar reform combination, it is alleged, was borrowed for the time and must now lie settled by the Republican party. The complication in the Twenty-eighth Congressional District was a natural re sult of the conferree system. Clarion, Forest and Elk Counties combined to elect the delegates to the Republican National Convention, practically ignoring Clearfield and Centre. The other two counties of the district, having discoverer! the combination, naturally entered a pro test. While this shutting out of Clearfield and Centre Counties was obviously due to the fact that the candidates for nation al delegates presented by those counties were doubtless for McKinley, it is not necessary to discuss that feature. The whole point is that conferrees represent ing altogether some 6000 Republican votes are enabled by this combination to defeat the conferrees of Clearfield and Centre, representing more thin 10,000 Republican voters. The Republican vote in Clearfield alone is almost a* large as the combined Republican vote of Clarion, Forest, and Elk, but the 1000 votes of Forest County have just the same repre sentation in the conference as the 6CXXJ of Clearfield, and the 3000 cast by Forest and Elk together have twice the power that the 4700 of Centre or the 6000 of Clearfield, aid is nut Ictbt<£<er The congressional conference for the Twenty-seventh congressional district, comprising McKean, Warren, Venango and Cameron counties, met in Kane, last Friday and organized by the election of T. B. Clark of Bradford chairman, and Mr. Nichols of Emporium, secretary. There were twenty conferrees present. Charles W. Stone of Warren was nomi nated for congress. A. C. Hawkins of McKean and S. C. Lewis of Venango were elected delegates to the Republican national convention; T. B- Simpson of Venango and W. H. Howard of Cameron, alternates. William Sclincur of Warren was chosen presidential elector. The Republican return judge of Craw ford county met in Meadville, Monday, to canvass the vote at Saturday's primar ies. The official vote for National dele gates, is as follows: Quay candidates, Win. H.Andrews, 3,646; Louis Struber, 3. a 35; McKinley candidates, Jesse Moore 3,708; W. J. Sands, 3,613. Quay's first lieutenant thus loses his own county by 62 votes; after the hardest political fight he has ever been through and an utmost unlimited use of money. 111 addition Andrews narrowly missed losing the county organization. The con vention was tame. ACCORDING to a recent decision of Dep uty Attorney-General Elkin, the various counties must pay the assessors for mak ing the enumeration of children of school age under tbe compufsory education law. A D'ssertation on Character. [Quiet Observer in Pittsburg Gazette] "How am I to judge of the disposition of a man whom I only meet occasionally, and then under circumstances that would lead him to try to appear to the very best advantage?" asks a country-town maiden. I mav as well tell you that he has ask ed me to marry, and that I leel very much inclined to accept him. However, a cousin of mine—a dear, sweet girl—mar ried one of the finest looking men I ever saw, and we all thought her wonderfully fortunate. To all appearances he was good-natured, systematic and gentle, :->ee him when you would he was wearing a smile, and "he seemed to be ever ready to pass trifles by without notice. Now we know him to be a terror. As mv brother says, he smiles and smiles, and is a villian still. He is unreasonable, unkind and uncompanionable. And yet he can put on a smile at a moment s no tice in the presence of company, act though he was the most indulgent of hus bands and wear the dignity and solemn demeanor of a deacon to perfection. There was no way for this poor girl to find out his disposition, because she got acquainted with him when visiting in the eastern part of the state, and saw bim only when he came to call on her, which was quite frequent. Her friends with whom she was visiting when they met sav that all they ever heard against him was that he had a hastv temper, but the outbreaks lasted only for a moment. Now he is sullen, cruel, peevish and seems to take special delight in making his wife miserable. Nor is his cruelty and meanness confinedjto his wife, but he abuses animals, kills birds and seems to despise everything but himself. And yet this disposition does not show in his countenance, nor is his conduct plain enough to be detected by strangers. My poor cousin wrote me the other day, saving: "For heaven's sake, dear' don't marrv until vou are quite sure your husband is'what he appears to be. For my part I would a thousand times rather live and die ?n old maid than to be tie«i to this elegant brute. Death would be welcome at this very moment. Upon the receipt of this letter I can celed the visit of my sweetheart, at which he was to receive his final answer, and will not fix another date until after I have heard from you. I write you with the consent of my family, and we will await your answer with much anxiety. Two other of my girl friends were dis appointed in the men they picked, which onlv helps to make ine a'l the more care ful.' If you use this letter don't say where it is from. If this young woman will note careful ly how her sweetheart treats horses and dogs she will be able to get a pretty fair idea of how he would treat her were she in his power. Of course she must not let him know that she is observing his conduct. As a rule, men who treat dumb animals kindly and considerately, and particular ly dogs and horses, are'gentle, sympathet ic and heart some. It is not necessary that they should l>e dog or horse fanciers; indeed, it is better they should not be, if their fondness for them is begotten by a strong love for the sports to which these animals contribute with more or less pain and discomfort, if not with their lives. The genuine humanitarian will help a suffering cur or a played-out dray horse as quickly as though they boasted of ped igrees. And he never wantonly hurts or mistreats a dog or any other animal, nor does he enjoy seeing others abusing them. Cruel hearted men have 110 use for dogs, except to use in inflicting cruelty on some Other animals. Some persons possessed of gentle dis positions have natural aversions to cer tain animals, just as some have to certain sounds, colors or foods, but they do not show this aversion by wantonly abusing the poor creatures- Some are afraid of dogs, and recoil from their touch, yet they cheerfully provide for their comfort. The cat is oftener the subject of aver sion than the dog. This may lie 011 ac count of the selfishness or the indiffer ence of pussy. And yet, unless the indi vidual has a cruel streak 111 his makeup, he is not going to deliberately tread on pussy's tail when she comes purring around and rubbing her furry coat against his feet. Nor will he spit tobacco juice in her eyes if she makes free enough to jump into his lap. Nor does the gentle-hearted man de birds. Some men do this thoughtlessly, or because the savaze streak that was born in them hat! lieen allowed to de velop without restraint. All l>oys, you know, are born savages. There are a good many Jekyls and Hydes—more of them than you may think for. As Mr. Hydes they are noted for unbanity, deference and politeness. Their handsome, or, at least, shapely faces are ever redolent with sweetness and burdened with smiles—overburdened, in fact. You would never suspect them of being fiends in disguise. In some instances they are not, but are victims of a peculiar form of disease due to some mental or physical defect. It is not from these that innocent wo men have most to fear, but f r otn the bland, smiling, polite and painfu'ly pre cise type. These are usually profuse ia their praises of anything intended to be praised, and profligate in the distribution of taffy. Their whole effort seems to be to make themselves appear as paragons of niceness when in the presence of nice people. However, their adeptness in the paragon business is not limited to the field of niceness.—Gazette. THB women of Ohio are after the au- Ithor of tbe high-hat law.

THK Philadelpeia Times thinks it is very likely that the free silver sentiment will be in the majority in the Democra tic National Convention.

Cholera has been stunned for 14 days. Pnuetnonia was barely able to resume its work. Anthrax and glanders escaped with ser ious injury. Influenza missed slaughter by its i>osi tion under the tube. This is the latest bulletin from the lab oratory of Prof. Pratt and Wightman of Chicago, who announced to the world that the Roentgen ray is the solution of the germ scourge. The last and final ef forts to revive the exposed colonics of germs, have left four stone dead. The investigators make this positive declara tion. They claim that every possible scienti fic precaution was taken that there might be 110 possible reason for their own decep tion. They are convinced of the success of tbe first experiment with the bacilli in test tulies. They started this morning in the laboratory a new series of trials which they insist will prove or disprove tbe possible use of the discovery in actual practice. IT is well to bear in mind that every thing that happens, happens of necessity, as the result of inexorable law. This will help you to bear the misfortunes of life with more serenity. Persons of small in formation and no philosophy are apt to think that they, of all people, have the liardest lot. What seem to be the most surprising chances, would, if all the causes were known to you, appear just as natural as the fact that seed time is fol lowed by harvest. "Hard luck" is the inevitable consequence of foolish and stupid conduct. Good fortune is just as certainly the result of prudent foresight and co rrect demeanor. STEAM and electricity have largely . displaced the workhorse. Hereafter horses will be bred with a view to speed. Preservalines. A gentleman who has given the matter considerable attention writes as follows: The difficulty in keeping milk during warm weather has led to the use preparations intended to retard the opera tion of soaring, which, after all, is but the first step towards decomposition, and which is rapidly tollowed by other changes which make the milk entirely unfit for hu man food. So great has this evil become that the last Legislature deolared that the me of such material should bo deemed a misdemeanor and punishable by a heavy fine or imprisonment, or both. The act reads as follow, as quoted with punctua tion marks from the Pamphlet Laws o 1 the session of 1895: "Section I. Be it enacted, £c., That the sale or offering for sale of milk for human consumption in this commonwealth, to which has been added boracic acid, salt boracic acid, salicylic acid, salicylate of soda, or any other acid drug, compound or substance shall be a misdameanor and punishable by a fine ot not more than one hundred dollars, or an imprisonment not exceeding three months, or both, or either, at the discretion of the court." It it true that the false punctua tion of the acts renders it ridiealous, but as our ourts generally rule according to the spirit and intent of the law, it is, of course, presumed that the intent, which is very plain, will be taken ae the guide. The danger from the use of these pre servatives lays in the evident fast that any thing which will prevent fermentation or 1 decomposition will also prevent digestion, and it naturally follows that infants and persons of weak digestion who take these materials into their systems with their lood must suffer to a greater or less degree, which will in all cases be in proportion to the vigor and strength of their digestion. It 18 also quite easy to imagine the milk containing any salt of boracio acid may and will, especially it continued any great length of time, inflict injuries which may prove permanent and will undoubtedly still further weaken the digestion. Our milkmen disagree as to the possibility of keeping milk free from the germs of decom position, bnt it has been clearly proven ttiat tbis can tie accomplished without tbe use of preservatives ot any kind, aud that the best plan that oan possibly be pursued is to prevent the introduction of the germs into the milk from the time that it leaves the udder ol tbe oow. When first milked it the animal is in good health, it is prac tically free from all gi-rms of disease, but every minute that it remains exposed to the atmosphere, especially in warm weath er, the danger of decomposition and dis ease are increased, until, especially alter it has been carried long distances in the hot sun in wagons and cans, it may become loaded with not only the germs which pro duce the decomposition known as souriiig, but also other disease germs. There are two plans, either of which have been tound to be effective. One is to sterilize the milk and kill all disease germs by the application of heat aud tbe other is to place tue milk in tightly soaled bottles immediately after the animal heat has been taken out. If bottled with the the animal heat in the fluid the good effects are not only lost, but the dangers ot decomposition and change are really increased. If, however, by aeration or ottier means the milk is rapidly reduced in temperature and then at obce bottled, or in somu manner excluded from tbe possi. bility of the entrance of these germs, tbe object is attained and injury prevented. It has been clearly demonstrated that even in warm weather, if the animal heat is rapid ly taken out and the milk bottled or plac in air-tight jars, it may be kept sweet and palatable and without change for several da>s. Probably tbe same result could he obtained by keeping it at a very low tem perature, but this is not practicable whon it must bo transported considerable dis tance to me C' nf.ntliers. Tt should be re membered that dt composition can only commence in milk by the entrance of thy germs which cause the chango. If these can in any way he excluded, the desired result is attained, and tbe aim should be to ascertain that method which will ac complish this result at the least possible cost. The addition of the so-called "pre servatives" and "pres-rvalines" is forbid den by law, and hence other means mas 1 be resort ed to prevent the evil. HENRY GEORGE said in speech at New York the other day, speaking of the next Presidential election, "I shall think, per haps, that the best thing to do will be to vote for McKinley. As between Cleve land and McKinley, I should certainly vote for McKinley. If we must have a protectionist, I say, let us hffve a tlior ouglitone." Now that is not so bad for a free trade philsophcr and dyed-in-the wool Democrat, is it? PADKREWSKI'S price for playing the piano at a private reception is (500 a minute.

She thought this rather steep, and wrote another note, offering to pay I,noo for five minutes of Paderewski's music. She didn't even get an answer to this note. PAIR VIEW FACTS. l)r.

Tn-Centenary of the Potato. (New York Heraid.i TD# tri centenary of the introduction of the potato is to be celebrated in Eugland [ this year, for it was in 1590 exactly three | centuries ago, that Sir W alter Kaleigh I planted the first Irish potaio in his estate, at Youghal, near Cork. It is a singular tact that an insigniticant plant, with no beauty of leaves and flowers, with a nauii* eous odor and a juice of a poisonous qual ity, growing wild among the ereyices of the rocks which bound the shores ot Peru and Chili, unknown to the world at large, and all but neglected by tbe rude native*, should have been transferred three cen turies ago to Europe, eventually to be come one of the most important articles of human diet and largely influence the pop ulation of half tbe globe. The potato belongs to a family of plants botanically known as tho Solanactie, which includes tbe deadly nightshade and other poisonous plants. The juice jf its own leaves and stems, and even ot the skins of its tubers, is slightly poisonous. In its native state the plant is .small, and the tubers rarely exceed the size of a wal nut or common chestnut. They are also of a mo'st, waxy consistence, and have a slightly bittish taste. The color of the blossoms is generally white, instead of red and purple hues of the cultivatsd sarts. By the careful cultivation ot man, how ever, these small wa.<y and bitter tubers have been swelled out into large, farina ceous, palatable potatoes, one single stem producing many pounds weight.

This apparent change in the re lative demand for these two great cereals is encouraging for the farmers, as they have much less competition from other countries in corn than in wheat. —If we could find a good foreign market for all , our surplus corn, it would be an iiicsti- j ' ujable advantage.

General Garcia is All Right. General Garcia, charged with violating our neutrality laws, has written tbe fol lowing letter, addressed to the people of the United States. "I am fully aware of the obligation I am under for standing trial for my alleged violation of the laws of your country. 1 did not remain to face tlie consequence s of my act*, simply because I feel that I have a higher duty to preform as a soldier and a Cuban (laving (ought for tie inde pendence of *ny country for ten years, and having ever since promulgated the idea for which we then fought Ide etu it my highest and holiest duty to tight and bleed, and it neccessarv die, to attain the independence of my country. "Should I tall my death will expatiate. I hope, in your eyes, any possible offense for which I might have to staid trial in the United States. Should I suwive I give yon my word as a man ami a soldier to return to your country and cheerlully abide by the oonsequencos which the laws of the country may visit upon me, My concience tells me that in this proceeding 1 will satisfy the laws of justice, and I am coifident that the citizens of the United States will so judge of my conduct. Should Garcia come off safe and sound from the Cuban revolution and returu to the United States tor trial he will not have any complaints to make about the severity of his punishment. We need more Garcias. ROM W few l ''-^ smc POWDER Absolutely Pure. A cream ol tartar baking powder. Uigh ost of all in leavening strength.— l,iitc*t Cm ted States Government Food Report.
