The enforced retirement of Josiah R. Adams of Philadelphia from the Repub lican sUte ticket, as the candidate of the party for Superior Jndge,on account of the exposure of his connection with some swindling investment companies, is one of those unfortunate political in cidents that the least said about, under the circumstances, the better. The only funny part of the affair was the action of Frank Torrance, the Alle gheny politician in whose interest the original specifications for our Poor Honse were written, rushing down to Philadelphia and trying to have the State Committee substitute the name of John M. Greer for that of Adams—as though that would have bettered the matter. Wiser counsels, however, prevailed, and John I. Mitchell of Wellsboro, an honest man and independent Republi can was selected for the place —and the personal of our state ticket is now un objectional and worthy of support. Mr. Mitchell's political career has been a rather remarkable one. He has always been independent in his words and actions; has served in the Legisla ture, in Congress and in the U. S. Sen ate, and is now President Judge of Ti oga county, and this is the second time the crowd have gone to "him when their actions made trouble for the party. County Chairman Wife and candi dates McGarvey, Gillespie, McCollough. Rankin and Turner drove to Porters ville Thursday, thence southward through Harmony and Zelienople to Ogle, thence to Evans City and back to Butler Saturday evening. At the dif ferent stopping places they held meet ings with the township and borough committees. Monday reinforced by Messrs Hoon and Adams they started on a tour of the northern part of the county. Reports from all points jnstify the prediction of a complete Republican victory. _ TOBACCO growers and manufacturers are demanding a Constitutional amend ment creating a colonial system of government for Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. At present a heavy tarriff on tobacco imports from these islands nets Uncle Sam $76,000,000 per year. If they are taken in ns territories or states, they will have the right of free commerce with the rest of the United States, this reyenue will be lost and our tobacco men clai m they will be ruined. WAR IN AFRICA. On Thursday it was reported that the Boers had assaulted Mafeking and had been repulsed and that the „British had Inred them over some dynamite mines, and killed 1500 of them. This report was not believed and was not confirm ed. The British have established a press censorship. On Friday it was reported that Vry burg on the west border had surrender ed to the Boers, and a cavalry engag ment was reported at Ladysmith on the East border; also that the Boers had at tacked Glencoe Camp on the East bord er and had been defeated with heavy loss. COn Saturday a victory for the British was reported from Glencoe. The British artillery silenced that of the Boers an Smith's bill and then the English regi ments charged the hill and captured it, with the loss of !>2 officers and men kill ed, and 151 wounded—the loss in officers being especially heavy. The Boers re treated leaving their dead and wounded behind and a squadron of Hussars who followed them were missing, and it was feared they had been drawn into a trap. President Kruger ordered the complete evacuation of Johannesburg, the centre of the gold mining district,and it was be tieved he intended destroying the town. Two American newspaper men were re ported captured by the Boers On Sunday another victory for the English was reported at Elandsluagte, and the Boers were said to be shelling Dnndee. On Monday the Boers were reiKjrted to be attacking both Glencoe and Dun dee, they outnumbered the English and had forced them back, and the situation was said to be serious for the British. On Tuesday the British General Yule abandoned Glencoe and Dundee,and re treating southward, joined his forces to those of Gen. White at Ladysinith On the western border both Mafeking anil Kimberly were surrounded by the Boers. Yesterday it was belieyed in England that there had been a battle and that the news was being held back. AT the session of the British Parlia ment last Friday, ten million pounds were voted to carry on the war in Afr _-a. There was opposition, how ever, and William Redmond, Parnellite, contrasted the attitude of Great Britiau toward Venezuela with her attitude to ward the Transvaal. ,- In the former case." he said, "the United States an nounced that Great Britain would have to arbitrate, and the British lion went to sleep. There has been no arbitration with the Transvaal, because the Trans vaal has no neighbor like the United States. " OFF Sandy Hook, last Friday, the Columbia again beat the Shamrock over a thirty mile course, by minutes, in a strong gale, and the ' cup' that the old America won in the English Chan nel forty-eight years ago will stay here.

Then came an old fashioned serenade by the ladies, after which a short speech was made by Mrn JMM MM Hr . and three rousing cheers for the serenaders. Then some excellent music was render ed by Miss Bella Met/, and Mr. lleckeit, assisted by the young folks; then Mrs John Rice led the ladies to the barn where they had an old fashioned husk ing bee and it was very amusing to see the ladies sheck the corn.
