Now, Cesar, after settling everything

with money from him to corrupt the

This sentence, from Plutarch's life of
C&sar. might be taken as a text for a
dissertation on "Corruption in Modern
Politics."
In ancient, as in modern times, the
successful man used the means neoeaaa
ry to success. Otherwise he will fail
What is necessary to success will de
pend entirely upon the moral and intel
lectual caliber of the people with whom
yon have to deal. If they are boodlers
and place hunters, as in the days of
Julius Cmsar" you must give them
boodle, and promise them places.
the people in general are honest
tary public service above petty ambiti
ons and sordid self-interest, they cannot
be won to any man's support unless
they believe that his success is for the
general good.
Csesar properly guaged the intellect
ual qualities of the ancient Romans,
and induced them by whatsoever
means would win, to assist him in build
ing up a great empire, and spreading
abroad the arts of civilization.
Politics is the science of getting
thingß accomplished Where the will
of the people is supreme they must lie
won over by appeals to their patriotism
and love of good government;
by appeals to their credu
lity and gullibility; by seducing them
with brides and promises of preferment,
or by all three methods combined.
The first method should be the only
one employed, and if the people were all
honest patriots, no other method would
win. But politics is politics, and is
bound to be good or bad in exact pro
portion to the ratio of good or bad peo
pie who take part in public affairs. —

Rev. «Y. It. Coulter.
At the meeting of Butler Presbytery
at Stone church near Crawfords corners,
Tuesday, the fortieth anniversary of
Rev. J. R. Coulter's pastorate of the
church was celebrated. Rev. Coulter
was born near Butler. April 23rd, 1829.
He was a son of Rev. John Coulter, at
that time pastor of the chnrches at
Butler, Muddy Creek and Concord,
the oldest Presbyterian congregation in
Butler county, and of which he continu
ed in charge from 1823 to 18fl4 Young
Jonathan prepared for college at Beaver
academy,his brother, Samuel L. Coulter,
a graduate of Jefferson college, being
principal of it. He graduated in 1851.
In the fall of that year he entered the
Western Theological seminaiy. He was
licensed to preach in June, 1K56. He be
gan preaching in Scrubgrass church on
the last Sunday of the year, continuing
as stated supply until his ordination
and installation on Augnst 25, 1857.
When Rev J. R. Coulter began his
work in Scrubgrass church there was no
church building or organization of any
denomination in Emlenton, four miles
distant, and many of the peeple of that
place, including the families of Alex
ander Crawford, Ebenezer Crawford
and Elias Widel attended the service at
the Stone church until the organization
of the Emlenton Presbyterian congrega
tion. For many years he has labored
under a peculiar physical disability,
permanent enlargement and stiffening
of the jointe, but not painful, and for
nearly 80 yearn he has delivered his
sermons from a high seat in the pulpit.
He walked on crutches for many years,
but for some time he has not been able
to walk at all. When placed in a bug
gy, however, he has been able to visit
and do good among his parishioners
Although sobadly crippled he has not
missed a spring meeting of Presbytery
for 41 years, during the greater part of
which time he has been stated clerk of
Butler Presbytery, and was re-elected
to the position for five years at the
April meeting here in 1800.
At the celebration, Tuesday wellchosen
and approprate remarks were made by
Revs. McConkey.of Grove City; ilazlett,
of Sarversville; Decker, of Siinbury:

THEJEYNOTE.
The Ground Gained in 1896 t«
Be Held.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUB
LICANS ARE AWAKE.
There Are No "Off Years" For the
Party of Progress, Protec
tion and Prosperity.
The sweeping swell of last year's
great Republican victory In Pennsyl
vania wDI repeat itself this fall in a
majority as large or greater than that
polled for McKinley and Hobart. The
Republican standard baarers, James S.
Beacom and Major Levi G. McCauley,
candidates for state treasurer and au
ditor general, respectively, inspire con
fidence among all classes throughout
the commonwealth. Both are gentlemen
of the highest character, and were
placed at the head of the ticket because
of their honor, integrity and eminent
fitness for the positions to which they
aspire. Pennsylvania will sound the
keynote for the whole Union, retaining
•very inch of ground won in 1896.
Side issues, that have their origin in
a search for scandal, will receive little
► «Anai/4or«tini» "i«»r of nro«neritv,
when business men and worklngmen ol
every party are congratulating them
selves on their escape from Bryanism,
Cozeyism and Altgeldlsm. There are no
perfect men on earth, and there never
will be a perfect legislature, but the Re
publican .party having furnished the
state the best government it has ever
had, has a right to claim the confidence
of the people and ask for an old time
majority for her candidates.
Prohibition as a political Issue in
Pennsylvania breathed Its last when
the late Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, with all
his earnestness and courage and great
ability, could not convince the people
that the lamentable failure of Prohi
bition in the western and New Eng
land states would not be repeated In
Pennsylvania. It gave Rs last gasp as a
political issue and died. It Is a moral
question and belongs In the pulpit, and
must be settled by the common sense of
the masses themselves. For 5,000 years
this question has been discussed, and
ft Ut altogether improbable that a so
lution will be immediately found, es
pecially as the result of scandal search
ing. One thing is certain, and that is that
few voters will be enticed Into the
camp of the political Prohibitionist on
the thin subterfuge of aiding the cause
of temperance through the office of
state treasurer! It does not take very
profound Intellect to comprehend the
fact that the office of state
treasurer Is executive and not legis
lative. and that the latter branch
of the state government Is the proper
and only branch that can deal with the
•upprrsslon or regulation of the liquor
traffic.
And while prohibition In Pennsyl
vania Is dead as a political Issue. De
mocracy shows the same state of coma.
The Reading convention, with delegates
thrown out of the windows, pushed off
the platform and knocked down, was
disgraced quite sufficient for a large
per centage of Pennsylvania Demo
crats. but the free silver platform and
•ndorsement of Bryanism so far spoiled
the stew that thousands will either
vote the Republican ticket or remain
away from the polls.
After three years of panic and ruin
and desolation, scores of thousands of
Democrats voted for McKinley and Ho
bart, and do not wish to be called Dem
ocrats again, and this fall these same
voters will cast ballots for Bea
com and McCauley, because they are
anxious to endorse and commend the
party that led them from the night of
despair to the full noon of prosperity
and happiness.
Independent of national issues the
Republican party of Pennsylvania de
serves the support of her voters.
Under the domination of this great
party, wisely led forward with progres
sive strides, ever following the con
structive policy, which is the policy of
advancement and enlightenment, we
have seen the burden of state taxation
pass from the shoulders of the Indi
vidual to the corporations; we have seen
the great public school system ex
panded and nourished by the state un
til the princely sum of 111.000.000 Is now
appropriated by every legislature for
their maintenance; we have seen the
poor man relieved of the burden of
buying school books for his children,
which has mad* It possible for all, rich
and poor alike, to have an equal chance
of acquiring an education. The Re
publican party did these great things,
which are a few among the countless
acts of beneficence and lofty achieve
ments. without regard to tariff or the
war or the money question.
And all these years of increasing
taxation for the corporations, and relief
for the masses, with millions upon mil
lions to be handled and accounted for
by our state officers, the commonwealth
has never lost one cent! Such a great
party and such economical and careful
housekeeping may well challenge the
admiration and confidence of all fair
minded citizens.
So that when you cast your vote for
the whole Republican ticket you Justly
give your support to the party of prog
ress, the party that stands nearest the
people and that has approached nearer
to perfection In the wise and safe di
rection of public affairs than any other.
No Republican should be misled by
the cry of alleged reformers that this
ie an "off year" and that there Is no
danger to their party If they Just this
once compliment an outsider. The Re
publican paity n«cds you as much this
year as any other. If reforms are need
ed In the Republican party It will be
found, as In the past, to be gr<-at
enough and good nnough to accompli h
them without any help from the out
side. And Democrats who do not ap
prove of the Reading platform should
not hesitate to come out dear and
straight In advocacy und support of
Republican principles. It Is the only
nfi ty "
oommonwealth. The Republican party
needs the votes of all hT old support
ers and will welcome the votes of Dem
ocrats and others, and on the other
hand, ths farmer, the mechanic, the
business man and the working man
need the Republican party to give them
good government c.id prosperity.
In the light of recent events the path
of duty for every voter Is made plain.

Prosperity Returns I'uder the
Dingley Bill.
OVER TWO MILLIONS
FOR POTTLRY WORKMEN,
An Eloquent Picture of the Deso
lation Caused by Wil
son Free Trade.
From the Jersey City Journal.
The Dingley tarin has given employ
ment to 4.5(H) workmen In the potteries
of this state. The Wlison tariff mad<
these same 4.500 men idle for the pas
three years. During these three years
these men, who had formerly been earn
lng from i-G lo J4O a week under th<
McKinley tariff, have been on the cana
tov. path working for "slo a month anc
boaxJ." driving horse cars, sweepint
streets and thanking God for a Job tha
would pay them a day.
In these same three years seven
eighths of the capital invested In pot
teries in this state has not yielded !
per c«-nt. interest. Five of the greates
concerns, with almo-st one-half of th<
money represented in the business be
hind them, have gone to the wall, ant
are still in the hands of receivers. 01
have liquidated and gone to new own
era. The potteries of Trenton, accord
ing to a carefully prepared cctim»tp ii
The Tribune, had when the Wilson bll
went Into effect a payroll of J50.000 ;
week, and when the Dingley tariff cami
to the rescue of the potteries after thre<
year* of the Wilson tariff, this payrol
had gone down to Jx.ooo a week. This
means that the Wilson tariff cost th<
pottery workers of the city of Trentor
alone $2,185,000 a year' The Dinglej
tariff means the return of $2,155,000 «
year to the workmen of Trenton in thh
single Industry, and that Is only «
starter, for the Dingley tariff has fea
tures even more favorable to the pot
teries than the McKinley tariff had.
If anything could eloquently plctur<
the desolation and destruction of th<
Wlison tariff It <s this statement re
garding the scattering of the workmer
under Its operation. The writer In Thf
Tribune says:
"During the last three years the opera
tives have voluntarily agreed to a re
duction of about 33 1-3 per cent, in theli
wages la the hope of keeping the shops
running and holding the home market
against the foreigners, but the manu
facturers could not then compete and
the doors were closed.
"The decorating shops of Trenton that
have been operated at all have pur-;
chased the ware they decorated In
England. France and Germany. It fre
quently happened that the decorating
■hop was located next door to a big
pottery, whose warehouse was groaning
under the load of the same kind of
stock the decorator had shipped from
England. France and Germany, the for
eign ware having been brought to the
very doors of the pottery here at a co»t
to the decorator of 16 per cent, less than
the actual cost to manufacture in this
city.
"Fully 100 families have gone from
Trenton to England, In which country
the potteries have flourished under the
Wilson tariff rates, and there made the
ware that supplied the American mar
ket, while the shops here were closed,
and the grass was growing over the
heretofore busy driveways."
In Trenton there are 34 potteries.
There are thr*-e of four score shops and
other establishments employing labor,
whose very existence Is dependent upon
the potteries. There are in the city of
Trenton no less than 35.000 people, male
and femal", in the families whose com
fort Is derived wholly from the pros
perous condition of this system of In
terdependent Industry. Within six days
after the Wlison law was enacted, de
privation, want, and, In Increasing de
grees. the actual pains of poverty took
possession of these helpless workers.
For three years they have been blindly
waiting for succor and at last It has
come, for the most reliable reports from
that city already show that there
thousands are finding steady employ
ment, and within 15 months all will he
employed and at wages nearly 25 per
cent, higher than were paid even to the
few fortunate laborers who held places
during the three years of Democratic
destitution.
While this l < the history of the city of
Trenton, it rr.ust he remembered that
Trenton Is but one city out of nil those
which are similarly afTected by the
Dingley tariff. Fast Tylvernool, 0..
Wheeling. TlfHn. Baltimore nnd 'he rest
are equnllv beneflclarle« In the return
of prosperity under a Republican tariff.
The people are to be congratulated
upon the fact that the new revenue
producing and business reviving tarifT
Is now In force. That business hence
forth will revive under the new tariff
there need l»e no doubt. Of course one
cannot get well as quickly as he be
comes ill. and the country's Industries
must not be expected to assume the
most prosperous conditions at once, for
It has taken four years and over to
reach the bottom of hard times. We
may expect, however, to see business
Improve now. and by another spring
labor ought to be fully employed.—
Schenectady (N. Y.) Union.
Notwithstanding the large stocks of
manufactured goods Imported In antici
pation of the enactment of a protective
tariff the Dingley bill should bring an
early Improvement In all lines of trade.
From the signing of the bill by Presi
dent McKinley should date a new era of
prosperity. Everybody, Irrespective of
political affiliation, should now put his
shoulder to th<- wheel with a determina
tion to make Industry flourish and the
country wax fat with richness. —Wash
ington (Fa.) Observer.
Professor Wilson does not seem to be
much In demand as a campaign orator
among the Democrats this year, ills
name Is a little too suggestive of the
recent bitter experiences of the work-
Ingmeri and farmers of this country.

This Is not the time for dissensions In
the Republican ranks. If there are
changes In the officiary at Harrisburg.
that Is a matter of immense moment to
those immediately concerned, no doubt,
and there may come a period when it
will be proper to thresh the whole mat
ter out In the pnns and possibly on the
platform. But Just at the present mo
ment the rank and file of the party will
not permit themselves to be separated
Into factions If they are wise. Faction
may be permitted to rage while a prl
mary election is pending, but after the
ticket has been made, unless It was
nominated by fraud or contains bad
men, faction should hide Its diminished
j head and harmony should come to the
front. Untb the state nominees are ?ood
men. Mr. Iteacom Is a Christian gentle
man; his colleague is acceptable to all
factions. Kuppose we all agree to sup
press 111 feeling, jealousy and vindic
tively* for the present and turn In
heartily to give the free trade, free
coinage party a thorough beating once
more. Tills Is a course of action that
wisdom and patriotism enjoin.

While the s« allow people are making
a great effort to show a gain this year
for the Prohibition party In the state
there Is no prospect that they will ac
complish any special or lasting break
away from the old parties. As they
could not win with all of the Democrat
ic party it remains for them to make
Inroads Into the Republican ranks If
their fondest hopes are to be realised,
and this has been and Is their chief
aim. Hut they are to be disappointed
once more, because the Republicans of
Pennsylvania know that It has the
power within Itself to take care of the
state government properly, and that
the power Is lielng awakened. There
need be no desertion of principles to
Improve government In Pennsylvania.

What a Well Known Economisi
Declares the Republican
Party Has Done.
Theodore Justice, the well knowj
Pensyivania economist, writes as fol
lows In a recent issue of the Phlladel
phla Bulletin:
There Is no need any .longer to wai
for prosperity; It is here now. am
things are going right. The day for ca
lamlty howling Is over, and we have (
fair and well balanced tariff law whicl
promises to be reasonably permanent
Manufacturers and merchants can nov
conduct their business with relief fron
that crushing anxiety that accom
panied the Wilson tariff act.
The wool schedule of the new tarifl
which is practically the re-enactmen
of the McKinley rates with no changes
except such as were improvements, i:
generally regarded with satisfaction b;
those in business, and the wool grow
ers of the United States are delightei
with the result. Many of them neve
expected to again see adequate pro
tection to their industry.
The Wilson act caused prices to fa!
to the foreign level, and also caused th
closing of one-half of the Americai
mills, thus narrowing the market fo
American wool one-half, as well a
causing a shrinkage of one-half In th<
value, but under the prospect of thi
restoration of the McKinley rates 01
wool, under the name of the Dlnglei
act, mills b«gan to start up and th<
consumption of wool Is now almos
back to normal conditions. It Is believe*
that for the coming year the consump
tlon of wool by domestic manufacturer!
will ercceed that of any previous year
not only making a market for wool, bu
giving employment to labor, furnlshini
It with ability to purchase much need
ed household supplies, which spread!
money in every direction, thus lncreas
ing the general prosperity.
For the first time in four years then
is not a cloud on the horizon to menaci
business prosperity. Those who are an
tloipatlne - an Immediate boom, however
may be disappointed. The improvement
to be lasting, must be gradual. Th<
tendency of prices will be upward. Thi
rroqpect of hlpher cost for materia
acts as a spur upon the demand. Sinc<
the Wilson law was contemplated th<
tendency of prices for merchandise hai
been downward, acting as a check t<
business expansion, for merchants ther
stocking their shelves were confronted
with the prospect of having merchan
dise shrlnV in value before it could b»
disposed of. Shrinking prices has beer

uTacturer. nnd upon the merchant; an<!
nothing encouraging accompanied th<
conduct of business until good time!
were browe-ht in by the election of
President McKinley, who. although de
rlslvely termed "the advance agent 01
prosperity." has proven that many s
true word Is spoken in jest. "The ad
vance npent of prosperity" Is followed
by the successful realization of mor«
than was nmmlsed. and both employei
and employe can now confidently look
forward to a return of the time wher
America Is again to be the most pros
perous nation.
The best thing that can happen tc
American manufacturers is that thej
shall have a monopoly of the hom(
market first of all. The worst thing is
that foreigners shall occupy this mar
ket so largely that the Americans, t<
meet them, must cut prices lieiow th»
profit point and then almost give awa)
the surplus to Europeans. The notlor
that trade over seas Is a sign of pros
perity is a British notion. It Is pro
mulgated in this country by free trad
ers. who regard the British stamp upor
anything, from an economical Idea tc
a high hat. as an assurance of correct
ness. We do make some things whlcli
we can export at a profit, because we
beat the world in producing them, but
this is not true of the mass of out
manufacturers. Philadelphia (Pa.)

The only hope the Democracy now
has is in some unexpected disaster. II
wants a combination of strikes with the
weevil in the wheat, an early frost, a
coal famine, a European tariff wai
against America to upset the stock
market, a pinching out of the gold
supply—all these things coming to
gether would rair.e its drooping spirits.
But short of that there seems to b«
DO opening for another Democratic raid
on the offices and the national Indus
tries—San Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle,
There Is no need to worry about the
Dlngley law. The men who drew that
measure knew what they were doing.
They declared that It would raise reve
nue enough to support the government,
and that will be the result, after the
law has got to work fully. There will
be no boixl rales to provide money with
which to run the government, nor will
the nation's credit be impared In any
way.—Cleveland (O.) Leader.
The enactment of the Dlngley law
was a wise act because the government
needed a sufficient revenue for Its sup
port. and experience had taught the
effectiveness of a protective tariff In
bulldinK up the industries of the coun
try. Business Is greatly improved and
prosperity Is returning because of the
necessity of such a law and the sense
of security growing out of It.—Wash

"Because It is my deliberate Judg
ment that the prosperity of America
Is mainly due to Its system of protec
tive laws, I urge that Germany has
now reached the point where It Is
necessary to Imitate the tariff system
