At, Thursday 's joint session 20 mem bers were paired and the vote stood, Quay 103, Jenks 81, Dalzell 15, -Stoue 7, Stewart 6 etc, 232, and 117 necessary to a choice. In the Senate that day the discussion of McCarrel's Jury bill brought out a eulogy of Senator Quay by Serjator Brown of Lawrence Co. and the state ments by others that the bill was solely in the interest of Senator Quay, and to help hir.i out of his trouble in the Phila delphia courts. In the house Mr. Dindinger introduc ed a bill exempting buildings used for theatrical purposes from the act of 1895 in boroughs and townships haying a population of less than 1,500. At Friday 's session the vote was Quay 73, Jenks 55, Dalzell 13, Stone 7, etc. After the days session the Independents met and it was unanimously yesolved by those who had not paired that they would not go into the joint convention Saturday or Monday. Their reasons were that, from discussions and sugges tions in the convention on the question of pairs, they were convinced that i a a crisis it would be held that pairs are not legally binding and could not, therefore be enforced. They believe that the questionable methods being resorted to in order to secure Democratic and anti- Qnay votes for Senator Quay are of such a character that they are justified in not taking any chances in a joint convention that is slimly attended. Their circular states that the scheme of the Quayites was suggested by the result of the vote taken for United States Senator at the joint session last Saturday it goes on to say: Upon that occasion but 133 Senators and members were present and voting, the balance being paired. Of the 133 votes Senator Quay received 55, or 12 short of the number necessary to elect. It was figured out by the Quayites that had 24 friends of Senator Quay violated their paired pledges and remained to vote for man he would have had a total of 79 votes, or a majority of the 157 present and voting. With this object lesson of the possibilities of the Violation of an honorable agreement by 24 meu before them, the Quayites laid their plans for utilizing this despicable method of securing Senator Quay's re election. The plan was carefully work ed out by four or five of Seuator (Quay's most emimeot frieuds, and everything was arranged for springing the trap on Saturday. The men among Senator Quay's snpporters who could be trusted to violate their paired pleiges were carefully selected, and they were all secured by Thursday night. Pairs had been arranged for them, aud it was their purpose to remain here, and before the vote was announced on Saturday demand that they bj recorded as pres ent and voting for Senator Quay. At Saturday's convention 77 pairs were announced, aud 01 absent without pairs, leaving but 32 members present . and nj election was announced. At Mondays sesssion but 39 members were present no quorum. It was said that there would be BO break for two weeks. The house held a short session that uight. The number of members afflict ed with pneumonia is causing alarm. It is feared ths walls of the new Capi tol without plaster are damp The men in the cellar, who work the fans, have not learned how to operate them with out creating a draft, and inconsequence members are complaining of bad colds. Tuesdays vote showed no changes; 247 members were present and the vote stood Quay 104, Jenks 81, Dalzell 14, tltone 7, Stewart 6 Huff 0, etc. It was expected that the fight over the MoC'arrell bill would begin in the house next day. 1 n-wibor 61W'" 1 iHtrod"fe«l in j both !vnd tlfc appointments sent l into tho Senate by fl V JHone J finned.

Gov. Stone. Gen. D. McM. Gregg. Reading; Louis A. Watrea. Soranton B. F. Jone3, Pittsburg, A. J. C'assatt and Robert E. Patterson, Philadelphia, and A. A. Palmer, of Franklin, are named as a commission and are instruct ed to provide with the least possible de lay, either by completing the present structure, remodeling it. or by remov ing it and erecting an entirely new structure on revised plans The said building shall be fireproof and as nearly as possible of the Renais sance style of architecture, known as the colonial. The commissioners are authorized to employ architects and ex perts and to finish the new building by November 1, 1901. The cost is limited to £2,000,000. in addition to what still remains of the $550,000 originally appropriated. The commissioners are to receive no compen sation for services. In the House Tuesday, Mr. Hosack of Allegheny presented a pension bill for Judges, providing that any law judge after having attained the age of 70 years, and having held his commission for at least twenty years consecutively, or, if not continuously in the same court, having faithfully served as a judge altogether thirty years, shall be fore the expiration of his term resign, he shall thereafter in consideration of such resignation and retirement, receive in equal quarterly installments an amount of money equal to two-thirds of the annual salary payable to him at the time of such resignation. Yesterday's vote was Quay 108. Jenks 82, Dalzell 15, Stewart 7, Stone 6, etc— -241 in all and 121 necessary for election. At a meeting of the House commit tee on Education tUt <&y several bills regarding the minimum schocil term were examined. The minimun tern> is now six months and it is probable that this legislature will add another month. Deputy Stewart has just completed a table to show how many districts would be affected by the increased school term and wheie they are located, there are in the state 867 school districts with six month terms. Allegheny county has on ly two of these, while 102 districts have more than six months school, A num ber of eastern counties, such as Chester and Bucks, have no six-month terms. Some of the counties which will be af fected by the increase are as follows: Armstrong county has 32 six-month districts out of 42, Beaver 19 out of 49; Bedford, 30 out of 40; Bradford, 11 out 58; Butler, 18 out of SS; Cambria, 30 out of 56: Crawford, 6 out of 64; Fay ette, 18 out of 40; Indiana, 33 out of 39: Somerset, 36 out of 41; Venango, 13 out of 34; Washington, 17 out of 63. The McCarrell Jury Bill was forced through the Senate, yesterday, 28 mem bers voted tor it, 17 against' it, and 3 absentees. SENATOR HOAR'S learned and labor ed argument abont the unconstitution ality of American control of the Phil ippines, and his assertion that "When you raise the flag over the Philippines as an emblem of dominion and acquisi tion you take it down from Independ ence Hall," was ably answered by Sena tor.-Piatt. of Connecticut. He said: "We found this continent in the hands of the Indians, who did not want us here, nor did they want to be placed under our government. Notwithstand ing that condition, we established our government here, and now, at last, we have brought many of the Indians to a state of civilization and citizenship. "You violated the Declaration of Inde pendence, ' says the Indian, "when you legislated for me." But who, Mr. Pres ident, would turn back the hand of time to meet the requirements of the doctrines of the senator from Massa chusetts? It is the spirit of the Decla ration ot Independence that gives it life. It is perfectly well assured that no attempt will ever be made to legis late for the people of this country, or of our acquired territory, in contravention of the Declaration of Independence and the constitution. I am one of those who believe, Mr. President, that we shall not ring the doom of this country when we shall place over the inhabi tants of our acquired territory legisla tion which will confer on them the blessings of happiness ond prosperity." "Kniliiilnied SJeat." The American Druggist and Phar maceutical Record, published in New York and Chicago, an authority on the wholesale chemical and drug trade of country, has a leading editorial in its current issue depreciating the use of chemicals for preserving meat and en dorsing Dr. Daly in his charges before the War Inquiry Commission. The article in part is as follows: "It is an open secret in the chemical market that the meat packing houses are among the largest consumers of borax, and that their consumption ol salicylic acid is by no means inconsider able. While some of the borax might possibly be used for cleansing purposes, packers can have no possible use for the salicylic acid, save as a preservative for meat." "The use of chemical preservatives of any kind in foodstuffs is decidedly objectionable under any circumstances, and becomes a very serious matter when the food so preserved is fed to people with enfeebled digestions. Salicylic aclid is particularly objection able, as the same qualities which render it of value as a preservative agent en able it, to greater or less extent, to arrest the activity of the digestive ferments. THE selection of the Doerr farm by the County Commissioners for a Poor Farm is generally commended. An abundance of good water either from the S. S. reservoir or springs or drilled we'.ls on the premises oau be obtained, and the buildings can de sewered into the Centre Ave. main. AT Washington, Friday, a military court found Ueu. pagan gqilty of the charges preferred against bim, and sentenced him to be dismissed from the seryice. Lojt I'ctjslou Tliraug-1} Pill.-;. William Rowlins, of Port Crane, N. Y.. a veteran of the civil war, was drawing a pension of S2O a month for liver troubles contracted in the service. Three months ago he wasamUedto write a testimonial for the manufacturers of a liver pill that he said had helped him. He complied and gave the pills a glow ing sendoff, saying they had made him a well man. When the last quarter's pension was due Rowlius was told that he. had been cnt off the lint. When an explanation wiis demanded he yeoeiveW a clipping of his testimonial, together with a state ment that the Government coald not afford to pension healthy pensona. P**lU »eal Revelations. It is Jin possible to avoid the lessons : on onr political system that are con veyed in the plain avowals of the gov erniri* cliques on two subjects. The firsc is the assertion ; n tha debate yes terday, that the laws of criminal pro oedure mast be changed so as to rescue Senator Quay from the power of the District Attorney to "stand aside" ju rors whom he may suspect of being un duly friendly to the defendant. This power has been a part of the authority of the prosecuting attorney from before the establishment of the Pennsylvania Courts. On its strict jus tice there has been a division, the weight of judicial and legal opinion in this State being in its favor. But what is remarkable is that the alleged injus tice of the practice to the common citi zen on trial has never at all appealed to our political magnates, who dictate ( our legislation. They have not lacked opportunity to amend the practice, for the benefit of the ordinary defendant. Those honestly opposed to it hive brought in bills to repeal it in every session for the l;ist nine Legislatures, and those whose nod determine the fate of legislation permitted them to be sti fled. It is only when the head of tha machine is un danger of feeling the halter draw, that the practice is discov ered to be inequitable. And that no detail be lacking to prove that our laws are to be changed to suit the exigencies of our political dictators, the fact is on record that Senator Quay has himself used exactly this practice to secure the conviction of editors who had made publications obnoxious to his tastes. Yet that remarkable phase of the sub ject is reduced to innocuous mildaess by another one developed yesterday. One of the Quay organs of this city quotes an unnamed politician, evidently of the Quay stripe, to the effect tint the appointment to the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy caused by Justice Williams' death, will be used to cause a break in the Democratic ranks, that will insure Senator Q:;ay's rj-electioa. It is hard to imagine any assertion which puts the whole scheme of politics on a plane of more utter degredation than this. The Supreme Court is the last bulwark of justice. The property, liber ty, even the live 3 of the poiple may de pend on its integrity and impartiality. If the Supreme Court is not above sus picion our whole system is a failure. Yet we are told, through an organ of Quay politics, that position on the Su preme Bench is to be U3ed as political merchandise, with which to bribe Dem ocratic members to vote for Quay. It is not hazii-'t -.as t > sty that if aiy such proposition were made to Mr. Jenks, he would resent the in rait ia sult in such terms that it would not be repeated- But. supposing the seheuiiM to be successful, the tact that a Senator has to have the laws changed to enable him to escape justice, and has to trade positions on the Supreme B.mch t> bay votes for his re-election, would make the whole proceeding so infamous that the people would be forced to revolt against it.—Pittsburg Dispatch. AT Helena, Montana, last Saturday, William A. Clark, a native of Con nellsville, this state, and the owner of the largest copper-mine interests in the world, was elected United States Sen ator by a combination ot Democrats and Republicans. The Figrlit in Lebanon Co. At Lebanon, Pa., last Friday, the first gun of the anti-Quay campaign in the interest of Dr. Samuel Weiss, can didate for State Senator to succeed Lieutenant Governor Gobin, was fired at over-flowing meetings in Jonestown and Annville. Besides local speakers C. C. Kauffman, of Columbia, and Rep resentative J. B. Randall, of Chester county, were the speakers at Jones town, and Senator Flinn, of Pittsburg, and Senator J. Bayard Henry, of Phila delphia, at Annvilie The speakers reviewed Senator Quay's political history, declaring that he had debauched the politics of the Stata, aud made strong appeals to voters to over throw bossism. The fight is squarely Quay and anti-Quay, aud the voteis, understanding it as such, will make united efforts to elect Dr Weisa. the pronounced anti-Quay candidate. Meetings have been booked for every night until the primaries, on February 4. The contest will be the hottest ever experienced in this county. At Myerstown. Tuesday evening, Sen ator Flinn, was the chief speaker. He took up Quay's indictment*, alleging the misappropriation of the State mon ey, and cited other reasons why Quay should not be returned to the United States Senate. Senator Henry said he was inspired in the cause of this great contest against Quay. He called atten tion to Gen. Gobin's many offices ail called this a bi-election. He said: "All the eves of the State are upon Lobmou county in this bi-election and the most important election in the last 25 years " He said that the 53 legislators at Hir risburg would stay out against Quay until the day of judgment before they would vote for him Senator Henry finished by saying he hoped Lsb.inoa county would send a "Weiss" man from the east instead of a gold brick. Two .Judges to iileet. There are, this fall, two Judges of the Supreme Court of this State to be elect ed. One of them will be to fill the pi ice of Chief Justice Sterrett. whose term expires with this year; and the other to fill the place of Justice Williams who died suddenly a few days ago. This presents a rather singular state of af fairs. By our State Constitution when ever it so happens that two Judges of Supreme Court are to be elected at the s line time, or same year, the voters can vote for but one of them. This is for the purpose of always glying the mi mority a representation on the bench. So, in any event, the Democrats will get one of the Judges to be elected at the coming fall election. Governor Stone has the right to ap point A man to till the place made va cant by the death of .Judge Williams. This appointment will last only to Jan. 1. And here another singular condition exists. He has the power and, may ap point a Democrat; or he may appoint a Republican, as he should do. But it is feared he will be influenced by the Senatorial fight now pending and make the appointment lu tha interest of Quay, Iu this yiew both Republican and Democrat will hesitate as to accept ing the appointment, because in nith'.r nase tbvy will be liable to this charge of , Cjuayism in securing the appointment j and therefore on that ground be oppos- I ed in the nominating conventions that j are to follow, and thus endangering i their nomination. Who Gov. Stone I will appoint is now therefore an inter- | "sting question. Better not appoint at | all, but let the people, of each party, j settle the candidates in their coming J State Conventions soon to be held. W ASHIN'GTOX. At Tnesday's session of the Senate the nominations of A. W. Christy t:> be I',. M. at Slipperyro -k and John Wattero for Evans City were confirmed The Hull Army bill passed the Iftinse Tuesday by a vote of l'W to ! -Three Democrats vot->i for it and six Republi cans against it. It now awaits the ac tion of the Senate npon it. The bill gives the President power to increase the size of the regular army to 1(H), 000 men whenever he thinks it necessary. President McKinley is strongly in favor of the bill and it was through the ef forts of the administration that party lines were drawn so strictly. If the bill pasae3 the President will have the granting of about 3000 additional army commissions. It may be impossible to carry it through the Senate during the present session. Among amendments tacked onto the bill was one to prevent civilians from being appointed on the civil engineer corps, one to abolish the army "canteen" and the sale of liquor in camps.and one to strike out a provis ion for additional pay to commands serving in Alaska, the West Indies and Philippines.

Quay's Career Whether Q any is elected or defeated for United Sates senator and whether the trial of th? charges against him ac qnits or convicts him the fight against Quay and Qaayism will continue nntil he has become "a nightmare of the past." The anti-Quaj Republicans of the State are determined to have better politics and better government than that permitted under the Qnay regime. The anti-Quay people are resolved to keep on fighting and some lively times maj* be experienced in the State this year should Quay be re-elected. If he is defeated it is "thought that he will pass into oblivion as he will have neither the energy nor ambition to re new hGstilitie*. The Philadelphia Press ways editorially concerning Quay. "Mr. Quay has no claim upon the party for services rendered. He has been re-paid a thousand-fold for every thing he has ever done. On the other hand h< ha's brought defeat aud disas ter and discredit upon the party. To him and his friends the party owes the defeat of two Republican candidates for governor. To hira the present gov ernor-elect owes the fact that his nlj; rality was oi;Jy Il7|WlO of aOO.- 000, and to him a number of Republi can candidates for Congressional, legis lative and county offices owe their de feat at the last election. Senator Oqay has never b»'en loysl m. the Republican parly when it suited hiss insists to be Otherwise ' a as time and again caused the defeat of Republican candi dates obnoxious to bim. The party caucus has no binding claim upon him He kept his friends out of that cau cus a couple of years ago and joined with the Democrats to prevent a fair reapportionment of the State which had been decreed by a majority of the Re publican legislators. Senator Quay has been a malign influence in the politics of the State and Nation. He has solemn ly promised sweeping reforms, and after he has gained his ends has failed to keep his pledges. One of the worst Legislatures iu our history, that of 1807, was absolutely controlled by him. He has degraded the politics of the State and made a laughing stock of re form." "Every true Republican in Pennsyl vania and the Nation will rejoice whvn they hear that the self-respecting and loyal Republican members of the Penn sylvania Legislature have retired Mr. Quay to private life."

This amendment was fought bitterly i by the Quayites, because if It should | pass it would remove the Quay case from the operations of the bill, should i It become law. The amendment ' wa* : defeated, but will be renewed in the house when the bill comes up there. As Senator of Philadelphia, de clared. the bill is in the interests of the | criminal classes. If it should become I law no criminal of wealth or influence j could ever be convicted. The bill will undoubtedly pass the senate, because Senator Quay's friends are there in i\ , majority, but it is beli«.-ve4 it canvlt pass the house. Up to last Saturday ten ballots had been taken in the senatorial ftght. In : every one of them Ser ator Quay lacked from 12 to H vote% of a majority. His : friends predict that he will get them; they do not say where. It is only an other Quc.y machine bluff. Tho Dtm j ocrats are standing as firm as a rock, i and their leaders assert that not one j of them will vote for £ nator Quay. | The anti-Quay Republi .ins are equal ly as firm, and the prospect Is for a 1 long deadlock. There is nothing left for the Quay ; people to do except to declare that Quay cannot be defeated. It is all I there Is to sustain them now. There ar» doubtless half a dozen Democrats un der obligations to Senator Quay, wh 3 would vote for him if the chance v f_ ferred. but half a dozen votes are 'not enough, and as the honor of the I>s\no cratic party is at st*\KO, no Demo crat will sell out his 'party and his own honor and risJr b e j nK a marked man for the rest - of hls , ife THE REWARDS OFFERED.
