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.

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

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

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."

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.

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

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.

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

Otherwise ' a as time and again

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."

ed ih- • te an 1 an • ffort
will be made to railroad It through th»
; house. All pretense as to the character
of the til was thrown as id in Thurs
day last, when S nator Brown, of Law.
' rtnee county, proclaim! 1 that the hIU
was in the interests of Senator Quay.
Senator Henry . f Philadelphia. Senator
Finn of l'ittshurgr an! P. nator Miller
j of Tterks. I>-n. tat. are oppoelnß the
i passage of the measure.
An amendment was tackt d on to the
bill that it should not apply to cases
where indictments are now pendina.
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

Mr. A. J. McCandless:
On the 2nd day of April, 1892 I com
menced to nse your new cure for one of
my horses that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to use the medicine for
aliout forty days and the h >rse did not
show any signs of a return of them. It is
' now abo'ut a year since I quit giving the
medicine and the horse has r-ever showed
any sign of heaves, and I feel satisfied
that he is properly cured.
