______________- a
Meeting of the Legislature. J
Harrisburg was crowded this week. 1
All the members of the State Senate
and House are there, and so were hun
dreds of fellows wanting appointments,
and the politicians 01" the state interest- r
ed in the organization of the Legisla- '
ture and the election of a United States
Senator.
The big hotels were illuminated, and 1
there were receptions, and caucuses, c
and parades, and conferences, and every- r
tiling else that goes to make up a politi
cal hippodrome. 1
On Monday the Republicans of the *
House held a caucus and nominated c
|t John R. Farr, an independent Republi- '
can member fiom Scranton for Speaker, 1
i with J. B. Rex of Huntingdon for 8
. Chief Clerk, and D. Feterolf of Harris- £
—w burg for Resident Clerk; and a Slate 1
Committee of 30 members, including J. *
N. Moore of Butler was named. I
The Republican members of the Sen s
ate also held a caucus and named W, 3
P Snyder of Chester for Speaker pro. 1
tern., with Smiley of Venango for (
Chief Clerk. Cochran of Kittanning for a
Sergeant- at-Arms, etc.
jfi— Both caucuses agreed to end the ses
sion on the 30th of April. j
The Democrats also held caucuses, (
but the fusion move ment seemed to fall
through, and at midnight the air was J
full of reported agreements and ar- (
rangements. (
Tuesday noon both branches of the
Legislature met and organized, but
nothing was done excepting to read the
Governor's message and to pass a reso
lution to adjourn on April 20th.
That evening 109 of the 164 Republi-
can members met in caucus to nominate
aU. S. Senator. Senator Grady pre
sided, Quay. Jones and Magee were
nominated; Quay got 98 votes, Jones 9
and Magee "2; Chris Magee moyed to
make the nomination unanimous and it
was so made. :
The legislature consists of 354 mem- 1
hers, it takes 138 to elect a U. S. Sena
tor. and so Quay to be elected must
secure 19 of the Republicans who re- '
mained out of the caucus, or as many
t Democrats.
Of the 55 Republicans who stayed 1
out there were three Senators and four
teen members from Philadelphia led by J
Martin; Senator Flinn of Allegheny and
six members ;Representatives Moore and
Dindinger of Butler; Martin and Cald
well from Mercer; Wilson and Har
grave of Westmoreland; Kountz and
Kendall of Somerset, etc., all of whom
signed a paper refusing to enter a
caucus until the criminal charges
against Quay are disposed of. The
paper reads as follows:
"We, the undersigned membjM of
the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the General Assembly of Penn
sylvania, being impressed with the
gravity of the present situation, and de
siring to act for the best interest of the
Republican party and the .velfare of
onr State, hereby set forth onr views:
"Under normal conditions we believe
in party regularity and the use of the
party caucus to determine party policies
and nominations. We believe that a
Republican should and will be elected
to the United States Senate, and as one
of the candidates is at the present time
over-shadowed by grave charges, which,
if sustained, would render his election
impossible, and as said candidate has
alleged that said charges are not honest
ly made and well founded in fact, but
that he is the victim of a political con
spiracy to defeat and destroy him, we
believe that common fairness demands
that such candidate should have the
fullest opportunity to present himself
in the Senatorial caucus freed from the
damaging accusations now pending in
thecourtsof the Commonwealth agaiust
him. And we further believe that un
due haste in holding the Senatorial cau
cus is unwise until the rule returnable
in the Supreme court on Jan nary 7 has
been disposed of.
"Entertainimc these views, we there
fore agree with each other unit promise |
our constituents not to participate in a
Senatorial caucus until after the Su
preme court has granted or denied the
petition of said candidate."
Gov. Hastings in his message adviaus
the tearing down of the new Capital,
reviews the condition of the state treas
ury, thinks U. S. Senators should be
elected by popular vote, snggests
changes in the ballot.
The emotion of a \*. 9: Senator by the
Legislature will not occur nntil. Tues
day. the 17th.
Mwire ami IJimliii^rr.
We set- by the papers of yesterday
that onr representatives Hon. J. X.
Moore and Hon. John Dindinger refused
to be whipped into line to vote to re
turn Senator M. S. Quay to the U. S.
Senate while the indictments against
him in the Philadelphia courts are un
answered. Here we have this situation.
Senator Quay and others named with
him were charged with using the money
in the State Treasury for their own
personal benefit contrary to law and
other charges are named in the infor
mation. The proofs to support the
charges are laid before the Grand Jury
of Philadelphia, composed of good men
in that city and county. They say the
proofs are sufficient to be tried in the
Quarter Sessions Court and return five
indictments against the parties named.
Senator Quay, his son R. R Quay, and
B. J. Haywood. Senator Quay' an
nounced he wanted an early trial, but
when the time came to go to trial he,
through his lawyers, began to maneu
ver for delay and succeeded in putting
the cases over from Nov I*9B to Janu
ary Tth. 1 899, and in the meantime has
all the hangers on he can gather at
Harrisburg to force the Republican
members of the Legislature to re-nomi
nate him for IT.l T . S. Senator before any
hep.ring can be had on the criminal
cases, a piece of as high handed ef
fronterv as we have seen in all onr ex
perience. What would our people in
Butler county think of a man a candi
date forjudge with indictment < against
him for any crime, and, he using every
means that shrewd, sharp lawyers
conld devise to postpone the trial of the
indictment until after the election?
How many of our good people would
vote for such a man for Judge V e
venture to say nearly every Republican
in the county would say. "first submit
to trial of the case against you, if you
are cleared we will vote for you. but
we will not vote for you as long as you
are fighting to keep from being tried.'
and this is what Moore and Dindinger.
by staying out of the caucus say to
Senator Quay, "clear yourself of the in
dictments before yon ask Republicans
to vote for you," and all honor to them
for the stand they have taken.
Cuba Libre.
At noon last Sunday, January 1, 1899,
the Spanish flag floating over the Gov
eminent building in Havana, was haul
ed down, and the American flag run up:
a couple of short speeches were made
in the palace, some salutes were fired
and the people cheered and that was all
there was of it. Gen. Brooks is now
military governor of Cuba. Thus is
the Maine avenged.
WASHINGTON.
The Paris Peace Commission ar
rived in Washington the day before
Christmas and Judge Day deliv- ]
ered the treaty to President
McKinley. In presenting this 1110
mentous document. Judge Day, as
chairman of the commission, said it (
represented the earnest efforts of tne
American representatives at Paris, and
that it was submitted with the hope
that it would redound to the peace,
credit and glory of the American na
tion. Accepting the treaty from the
hands of Judge Day, the President re
sponded with heartfelt thanks and con-,,i
gratulations to the commission a# a
body and to the members individually.
He spoke of all that had been accom
plished and of the happy method by
which di fficult questions had been ad
justed. The formal ceremony of de
livering the treaty to the President oc
cured in the blue room and lasted half
an hour.
HAlUtlsm ltG.
On Monday, Gov. Hastings appointed
Dimner Beeber of Philadelphia to suc
ceed the late Judge Reeder on the Sti
prem bench. This made Gilkeson mad
and he resigned his ottioe as Banking
Commissioner, and the Gov. appointed
G. M. Dayies, of Carbon county to take
his place. Judge Beeber s commission
will run until January. 1900.

The S. S. Kntertainiiient,
On Monday evening Dec. '-'> th. the
Concord Presbyterian Sabbath School
gave an entertainment, entitled "Father
Time, Santa Clans and I'ncle Sam,
which not only excelled all its former
public performances but eclipsed :.u\
thing of a like nature ever attempted
in this vicinity.
The exhibition was witnessed by a
large and appreciative audience, such a
is only seen here on rare occasions, j
Many of the spectators were from a
distance and quite a number of them
expressed themselves as being greatly
delighted and highly pleased with all
that they saw and heard. No better
cast of characters could le found in
vicinity, and in their selection the com
mittee" exhibited rare skill and excellent .
judgement. The decorations were all :
that conld be desired and were neatly i
and tastefully arranged, and consisted ■
mostly of evergreen, festoons, wreaths,
mottos, flags, while a large national em ,
blem with the Christmas star in the
centre comprised the background. Not
a single hitch occured in the rendering
of the preformance and the whole attair
leflects great credit upon all those who
in anyway contributed their share in
making the entertainment a success.
Space forbids giving a detailed account
of each preformer but all are equally
deserving and justly entitled to great
praise.
The recitation by Miss Kamerer was
a very tine selection and was neatly and
artistically performed. The gentleman
representing Father Time, Santa ( laus
and Uncle Sam won the admiration of
the audience.
The most novel part of the perform
ance was rendered by the young ladies
and gentleman representing I'ncle
Sam's newly acquired possessions,
while perhaps the most amusing feature
of the occasion was the martial hand
composed of little boys who acted as
escort to Uncle Sam, always to the tune
of Yankee Doodle,
The recitation by Miss Lillie Jvinzer
was rendered in her usual happy and
pleasing mood while Miss Lmeline
Clark surpassed herself in her accustom
ed good style and gracefully delivery of
her part.
Perhaps the most pleasing feature ot
the evening was the recitation of \\ hen
Grandma was a girl by a little tot
Miss Pearl, daughter of A. F. Cochran
Esq. who spoke with a clear voice and
in audible manner without any visable
em harass in en t.
