The Washington Monument.
The unveiling by President McKinley
of the magnificent equestrian statue of
George Washington, will be one of the
most imposing occasions of recent j
years held in Philadelphia, and it is |
probable that vast throngs will be at
traded to that city by the gorgeous
military and bicycle parades which
have been planned to follow the unveil
ing. The city will be in gala attire,
the ships in the harbor will be dressed
for the holiday, and altogether Phila
del phia will show a most attractive ap
pearance. Besides President McKinley
and his Cabinet, many foreign repre
sentatives will attend, as will also the
Governors of New Jersey. Delaware
Maryland. The Governor of Pennsyl
vania will head the division of the
National Guards of the Commonwealth
The splendid monument stands at
the Green street entrance to Fainnount
Park. From an oblong platform six
feet six inches hi<*h of Swedish granite
cud reached on four sides by thirteen
gters, symbolical of the tbifteen original
States, rises a pedestal bearing an
equestrian statue in bronze of General
Washington. The father of his coun
ry is represented in the colonial nm
onn of the American army, a large
military cloak being thrown artistical
ly around his commanding figure
While dignified, the whole conception
is full of animation. In his left hand
Washington holds the reins of his horse
one oi the animal's fore feet being rais
ed in the ar-r of moving. At the four
corners of the platform are fountains,
served by allegorical figures of Ameri
can indians. representing four rivers—
the Delaware. Hudson. Potomac and
Mississippi. On the sides each of these
fountains is guarded by typical Ameri
can animals, eight in all. At the front
and back of the pedestal are two alle
gorical groups. That on the front
represents America, seated and holding
in one hand a cornucopia, in the other
a trident, and having at her feet chains
just cast off. She is in the act of re
ceiving fTom her victorious sons the
trophies of their conquest. Below this
group is an eagle supporting the arms
of the United States. The group in
the back represents America arousing
her sons to a sense of their slavery. Be
low are the arms of Pennsylvania. On
the side of the pedestal are two bas re
liefs one representing the march of the
American army, the other a Western
bound emigrant train. On one side
the pedestal bears the inscriptions "Sic
Semper Tyrannis." and "Per Aspera
ad Astra," on the other, "Westward
the star of Empire Takes Its Way.
Surrounding the upper portion of the
pedestal is the legend, "Erected by the
State Society of the Cincinnati of
Pennsylvania," The equistrian statue,
the figures and the bas relief, as well
as the numerous other ornamentations
are of bronze, while the platform and
pedestal are of Swedish granite. Pro

AT the Tennessee Exposition grounds
last week an airship ascended,apparent

HARRISBURG.
With the aid of seventeen Democrats,
the Quayites of the House succeeded in
passing the Kipper bill on second-read
ing, last Thursday. Wednesday even
ing Quay wired Durham, Andrews,
Key Her and other of his friends in liar
risburg to get it through in second
reading next day, and they with the
chairman of Democratic State com
mittee, Garman, worked all night, call
ed it up out of order next day, and got
it through. Garman was severely
criticized by Democratic members of
the House for his action. Our mem
bers, Moore and Dindinger, voted
against it.
On Friday Elkin's direct inheritance
tax bill was greatly ;imended in the
Senate.
On Tuesday (lovemor Huntings said
he would veto any bill regarding citief,
that had l>een formally denounced by
the city council. Several bills includ
ing an amendment to the game laws
passed the Senate finally that day, and
the Hamilton ro;ul dill passed the House
yesterday.
Does Senator Quay Meditate Treachery.
"The report has Iwti in the air for
some time that Senator Quay's mnch
discussed haruiony scheme is not a plan
erf harmony at all, bnt is nothing more
or less than a surrender of the reform
forces in the Bepublican party to Chri=
Magee, William Flinn and David Mar
tin and a restoration to power of the
old Combine in Pittsburg and Pliiladel
phia. These rumors have of late as
sumed such shape that it is not longer
possible to ignore them. There are
evidences that such a plan is on foot.
We are loth to believe such a report |
and will not until the evidence is posi
tive. but at this time we feel called up
on to enter our formal protest in the
name of all the Reform Republicans of
the State and especially of this city and
to announce that if such a scheme is
undertaken it can have but one result—
the political downfall of Matthew Stan
ley Quay. If Senator Quay fondly im
agines that it is possible for him sceret
ty to make deals with his enemies and
the enemies of the party of reform m
this State, he is the more deceived
His leadership has been followed, not
from any personal liking for himself,
but simply because be has put himself
squarely on a reform platform anil has
so far led the Anti Combine forces. So
long as his leadership justifies itself it
will be followed by the great mass of
Republicans in this State, but if he at
tempts to betray the interests of those
who at great personal sacrifice ba\e
fought for .eform. he will find it impos
Bible. The only thing he can do is to
take himself into the Combine camp.
He cannot lead the Anti Combine for
ces there and he might as well under
stand that now as at any time.
The Inquirer has led the fight tor re
form in this State and particularly in
this city, and it will continue to do HO
regardless of Senator Quay or any one
else. If Senator Qo-vy undertakes to
fight the victoi ious forces led by the
Inquire r, then the worse for Senator
Quay. With all his abilities he will
find his personal following shrunk to
nothing, if he undertakes to betray the
reform. The Anti-Combine forces in
this State will never permit Mayor
Warwick, David Martin. Chris Magee
or William Flinn to take any leader
ship in their ranks. That battle has
been fought and won and there will be
no surrender to these bosses who have
so long ruled the two great cities of the
State. They have now fa'len from
power and they will not be restored by
the aid of the Anti-Combine forces.
We are happy to say that these views
meet the .approval of the leaders and
the rank and file of the Anti-Combine
force in this city. They have made
their fight without the aid of Senator
Quay and can do so again. We do not
wish to speak to harshly on a rumor
but the fact is that these rumors are eo
persistent and are related with so much
detail of incident as to recent move
ments that we take this occasion to
protest against them and expect to see
a quietus put on them immediately.
While Senator Quay, with his known
tendency to seek harmony, may have
listened to the rejected leaders' pleas
for restoration we have no real belief
that he has agreed to such an outrag
eous proposition as is reported If he
d »es do so he will commit political sui
-cide. This we should greatly regret,
but the cause of honest government in
city and State is of more importance
than any man, and those who have
fought so long and conquered under the
»■—« Mii,i,ihi f «,UnHHM.r ,arn nut,
men. The Inquirer will stand right
where it has always stood and it will
not budge one inch for Senator Quay
or any one else. The cause of reform
has won and it will never surrender."
The above appeared in the editorial
columns of the Philadelphia Inquirer
heretofore the leading Quay organ of
the State, last Monday, and it created
a decided sensation in that city.
PERSONS who are opposed to compul
sory vacillation of school children are
greatly elated over a decision of the
Wisconsin Supreme Court, which de
clares the law unconstitutional because
"it may l>e objected to as a matter of
conscience, and to enforce it might
therefore interfere with religious
liberty."
Jefferson College No. 4.
I will ask a small space in your val
aable paper to report the closing of
Jefferson College,
The term of seven months which
closed on the twenty ninth of April,
was taught by Miss Annette McKet of
Portersville. The esteem in which she
was held as a teacher and the many
friends she had among the patrons of
the school and in the community was
fully attested by the large audience
which assembled at the schoolhonse the
morning of the 29th, to hear the school
render a well prepared program, which
consisted of vocal music, recitations,
declamations etc.
About 10 o'clock on the eventful day.
the patrons and friends of the school
began to assemble with their liea.'iy
ladened baskets of all sorts of g' >d
things preparatory to a picnic dinner
which was a surprise to a the teacher
They were entertaine 1 until noon by a
number of class drills, which were
especially entertaining. as they gave an
idea of the work done d iring the term.
They then adjourned an 1 soon wire en
joying the gorgeous display of eatables
spread before them, and some time was
spent in eating, talking, laughing and
general social intercourse and reunion;
after dinner they were treated to a very
spicy and well rendered entertainment.
At the close of school the teacher was
made the recipient of a beautiful work
basket. She was completely surprised
but very heartily thanked the scholars
for their kindness and the audience for
their good attention. After a touching
farewell address by the teacher the
happy day drew to a close, as they each
wended their way home, they sadly bid
adieu to the ended school term, for
»ome perhaps the last time.
A CITIZEN.
A Cheerful Invasion,
The home of Mr. and Mrs. .Tno Cald
well of Jefferson Twp. was invaded on
Friday eveniyg April 851, not by burg
lars, but by a jolly crowd of their neigh
bors and friends who came in stealthily
npon them as the worthy couple were
sitting by their cozy fireside enjoying
their evening papers, little dreaming of
the pleasant surprise that was await
ing them. Mr. Caldwell was summon
ed to the door by the ringing of the
door bell and great was his surprise
when he saw the host of friends who
had assembled in) hi* lawn awaiting ad
mission.
Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell (notwittistand
ing their surprise) greeted their friends j
in their usual cordial manner and al
though there were alxmt seventy in
number, in a short time everybody was
seated comfortably and enjoying them
selves.
After sometime the women took pos
session of the kitchen and th> good
things were transferred from thei«' lias J

ONE PnaijjiNT. 1
A Telephone Decision.
The Berliner patent decision handed
down by the Supreme court at Washing
ton Monday may practically wipe out
local telephones in the Lnited States,
unless some one makes an invention
which will not be an infringement on
the Berliner transmitter.
The Bell people declare it will dispose
of their rivals. Supt. Campbell of the
Home Telephone Co.. of Pittsburgh de
clares it will not. that the expired Bell
patents are good enough.
It is not such cheerful information to
rival concerns, however, as it involves
almost $3,000,000 in the Pittsburg dis
trict, including the western tier of conn
ties and two in Ohio and West \ irginia.
all covered by the Pittsburg branch of
the Bell Telephone Company.
Mr James Stoakes. secretary of the
Central District Company, was asked
what the coi poration would do to stop
competitors from doing busidess. He
said no plans had lieen made, but the
company would undoubtedly clean out
all rival concerns in their district and
institute suits for damages.
The extent of competition with the
Bell Company is greater than is luiagin
ed at tiist sight. Mr Stoakes thought
that councils had passed ordinances in
almost eveiy town where their company
was operating or a move had been
made by local capitalists to get fran
chises for independent lines. The Bell
people say all this must end. They
claim it is absolutely impossible to op
erate a modem telephone without the
induction coil and magneto electric
transmitter, covered by the Berliner
patents.
The following towns have systems all
of which, it is claimed, will have to be
destroyed, as nothing less will satisfy
the Bell Company Johnstown, about
400 phones; Latrobe, 100; Greensburg,
250 Kittanning, 100; Blairsville, 100;
Indiana 100; Butler. 300; Greenville,
100- Sharon, 150; Sharpsville, 100; Mer
cer. 100; New Castle. 350: McKeesport,
500; Carnegie, 70, and in several towns
plants are being erected.
SOME one has figured out that the
Senate of the United States, consisting
now of eighty-eight members, has 430
employees, or five assistants to each
senator. With such an array of help
the Senate ought to pass a tariff bill in
less than three months.
Japan keeps about $2-">,OOO,<HX) of gold
on deposit in London all the time, but
that is only half as much as she had
there a year ago. She is spending her
money for ships, machinery and other
supplies, which she needs in the dev elop
meut of her great industrial enter
prises at home.
The English papers of Thursday,com
mented very bitterly on the rejection of
the Arbitration treaty by the U. S. Sen
ate. The Pall Mall Gazette, said:
"In its amended foiin the treaty was
not worth preserving, but the pi.nciple,
like the soul of John Brown.goesmarch
ing on. President McKinley backs it.
and his advocacy is worth having.
GKEECK has bowed to the inevitable,
and the powers are now straightening
out matters.
Wedding
Concerning the wedding of J. W.
Watson, son of Wlll. Watson of Mt.
Chestnut, the Seattle Daily Times of
May Ist says:
A very pretty wedding occured on
Monday evening April 26, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Blowers, 011 \ es

Episcopal Church, in the presence of
the parents and sister of the bride.
The bride looked charming in a beauti
ful and elegant gown of heliotrope silk
trimmed with lace and carried a bou
quet of bridal roses. After receiving
the congratulations of all present the
bridal couple led the way to the dining
room where a delightful wedding sup
per was served, immediately following
which thev departed on the steamer
Kingston for Victoria and various
points down the Sound. Quite a large
number of beautiful and appropriate
wedding presents were received, several
coming from friends in the east. Mr.
Watson is well and favorably known
here, holding an important position
with a prominent mercantile firm of
the city, while his fair bride is one of
Seattle's most gifted and accomplished
musicians. After returning to the
city they will be at home at 55204 Yesler

A Perfect Cut.
When you get a suit you want
it made right. A perfect cut is
necessary. High grade a
perfect cut and careV wor ian
stiip are a C3iub" lation which
give the best results and these j
are appreciated by the customer.
In thai way he gets his money's
worth.
A Standard Established. You
see it yourself. No one need ex
plain to you why the clothes
made by us are the most popular.
Ours is a standard that makes
them perfect. We keep our
goods up to the limit of perfec
, tion and our workmen all assist
in making the clothes first-class.
It is Easy Enough to cut into
cloth and turn out clothes. It
takes ability to obtain perfect re
sults. Our tailors are the best,
our cutter an at list and the per-
feet results as nacural as the mis
takes of others. Because our
clothes are the best, people want
them.
