Our County Committee meets next Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of fixing the date for the Republican Pri mary Election for this year. The State Convention is fixed for Wednesday, April 25th, and our Pri mary can be held as late as Saturday, April 21st. We see no good reason for rushing matters this year, nor for holding two primaries, as we have heard suggested. Monday morning bronght out a new candidate for Tax Collector in the per son of James M.

James Millinger of Institute Hill may be the Republican nominee for Council in the 2d ward. Quay is yet in Washington shaking the Senatorial tree for the plum that won't drop. At Philadelphia Thursday, the Grand Jury indicted eight more men for elec tion frauds. The five election officers that left Philadelphia make a new flock, and it is a pity that after helping the Bosses to so many walkovers they should have to do all this running on their own ac count. The situation in Kentucky is arous ing the deepest interest in Washington, and embarrassing complications are ap prehended. The bold and high hauded course pursued by the Ooebelites may, if carried to the ends they seek to ac complish, precipitate a contest that will fall little, if any, short of civil war Both sides seem<-d determined, and in case of trouble it is more than probable that the United States will be called up on to intervene. The constitution de clares that the United States shall guar, an tee to every State in this Union a republican form of government ami Kentucky Republicans, and many lead ing Democrats as well, contend that the seating of Goebel as Governor would deprive the State of every vestige of popular government One of the most prominent citizens of Kentucky, who is now in Washington consulting with re gard to the situation, told The Pittsburg Times correspondent that its gravity was not appreciated by the country at large. The Gobelites, he said, made no prctenso of believing that their candi date was elected, but merely declared, and apparently without any passion or regard for the consequences, that they had the power to si-at him and intended to do it T11!■; city government of St. Louis has become so rotten that riotous demon strations have been made against it. The New Century. It seem's so difficult to understand that l*oo, liKNt, 'JOOO, designate not the l>egin ning, but the end of u century, that one naturally inquire** the origin of the error. It may lie that the mistake is due to a kind of optical illusion. The yeat P.*HI, marks the Iteginniugof a new series of numbers. and nothing seems more natural than that it should there for»- be considered as the first year of a new cycle But though our reason may tell un that the new number with its two ciphers stands for the end and not for the beginning of a century, our eyes still In-tray us. It is triumph of sense over intellect an error.surely, but one into which many famous men have fal len When in H»w A I). Charlemagne in trodu<-ed the calendar which commen ces with the birth of Christ, he too fraught he was Is-ginning a new ceti tury. When Peter the Ureat decreed that our chronoloey should be used in hia dominions after the year 1700, he made a similar "mistake. Throughout the world's history those two ciphers have deceived men. And the error has been handed down to our own day. The Paris Exposition will be inaugurat ed, snrelv not to celebrate the death, bnt the birth of a century: and still it will 1* held in 19egin with a 1; it is equally evident that even as a dollar contains 100, cents so a century is composed of 100 years. But then there arises the confusion of numl>ers and their values, the contradiction between ordinal and cardinal. When an Italian speak« of his cinquecento (mille cinquecento in | other words), he refers not to the fif teenth but to the sixteenth century: and thus he writes all his centuries with a cardinal number one less in value than the ordinal number in his mind. When we write 1899, the number 18 designates not the eighteenth, bnt the nineteenth century; and we are con stantly compelled to correct a seeming error in our chronology. It is here that our eyes deceive us. So accustomed are we to the intentional misreading of our centuries, that we naturally consider the first two numbers in 1900 to stand for the twentieth century. A hundred years ago the same wordy war was waged, a hundred years hence it will be renewed; and thus it will go on as century after centnry comes roll ing along. It is a venerable error, lonn lived and perhaps immortal. —Sci. Am. THE Pope has issued an encyclical permitting the priests of South Ameri ca to marry. WASHINGTON NOTES. . During the latter part of last week the interest in the Quay case was second ary to the contest in the Senate to unseat W. A. Clark of Montana on charges of wholesale bribery of the Legislature. On Friday, Senator Pettigrew of S. Dakota attacked the Administration's Philippine policy, and a sharp debate followed. The pending bill for the government of the Hawaiian Islands, while creating a form of territorial government similar in its general scope to those in the United States, possesses certain features which may seem scarcely in conso nance with our ideas of popular institu tions. One of these is that voters must be able to speak, read and write the English or Hawaiian language. With the excej)tion of a very few of the older natives, this will not disfranchise Ha waiians, as the compulsory education system has made the percentage of il literacy amoDg them yery low, indeed. There are, however, 15,000 Portuguese who came from the Cape Verde islands 20 or 25 years ago. Those who arrived at manhood within that time may be able to speak, read and write the Eng lish language, but the original immi grants certainly have not those reguire ments. In 1898 there were about 20,000 Japanese males on the islands, and a large number has come in since annex ation, being brought under contract to work on the sugar plantations. These, under the treaties between the United States and Japan, are eligible to citizen ship. but the above mentioned educa tional qualifications will bar practically all of them from suffage. The Chinese, of whom there are <9,167 males, come nnder the Chinese exclusion laws of the United States, and must within one year take out the certificates of resi dence required by these laws. They, of course, are not eligible to suffrage. In addition to these qualifications, in order to vote for senators in the territo rial legislature, electors must own real property worth not less than SI,OOO, or be in the actnal leceipt of a money in come of not less than SOOO per year. It is probable that this will disqualify, so far as voting for senators is concerned, at least 90 per cent, of the Hawaiian natives. On Tuesday Senator Rawlins, o Utah, presented to the Senate a memor ial from Lorenzo Snow, president of the church, reiterating the statement that polygamy is not taught or polyg amous marriages allowed to l>e solemn ized. President Snow then officially wipes his hands of Mr. Roberts in these words: "Nor does the church advise or encourage unlawful co habitation on the part of its meml>ers. If, therefore, any member disobeys the law, either as to j>olyKamy or unlawful co-habitation, he must bear his own burden, or, in other words, be answerable to the tri bunals of the land for his action per taining thereto." This say* the correspondent of the Pittsburg Times is undoubtedly a de" liberate throwing overboard of Mr. Roberts l>y the Mormon church,through its prophet, seer and revelator. Pre*i dent Snow does not use the word "courts," but "tribunals," and evident ly does it so as to include Congress among the Istdies which have authority to deal with such violations of law as those with which Mr Roberts is charg ed. It shows clearly how badly fright ened the church is by this Rolierts af fair. Coming from President Snow, it is especially rich, as the following charge is publicly made and never de nied in Utah: "As nearly as we can learn, Pres'dent Know has had nine wives, some of whom are now dead, Amont; the living is his legal wife, but he is cohabiting with a younger woman named Minnie J&nseu, who has borne him one child since statehood in Utah."

On Friday the London papers gave ■ the loss to the English by the attack by the Boers in Ladysmith. on the (ith, at 800, and estimated the Boer loss at 3000. There were rumors of a concerted movement by all -the English armies. Gen. Buller was reported to be moving bis army westward, up the Tugela, which was in flood. On Saturday Gen. Roberts telegraph ed from Cape Town to the British \\ ar Office: "Methnen s cavalry reconnaisance re turned on January 11. Went twenty five miles into the Free State. Conntry clear of enemy, except patrols. All quiet at Modder river. "French reconnoitered around the enemy's left Hank on January 10.

Reconnaisance of cavalry and mount ed infantry pushed north of Bastards Nek and examined country north of ridge. "Gatacre reports no change. "All well on December 28 at Mafek ing." In a letter written to his father from Mooi river on November 23 an officer in the (Queen's Royal West Surry Regi ment says. "Against an enemy like the Boers in fantry is useless. The Boers have spies every%vhere, and, as they are well mounted, they can move away hours before our infantry can get wit in striking distance. On the other hand, they will never attack, and when we advance toward Pretoria commands will be left all over the country looting and burning farms. The only people who have a chance with them are the local volunteers. If the Government would only raise about 2,000 volunteers and send out a lot of mounted infantry who could work with the local volun teers these isolated Boer forces would soon be wiped out. At present we are helpless, as they make rings around us." On Tuesday Gen. Warren and his column were reported across the Tngeli. aiid advancing to the relief of Lady smith. A dispatch dated Saturday, January 13 from Lonreuzo Marques, says: "President Kruger has issued a proc lamation ordering all burghers to the front. The 'Volksstem,' the Transvaal official organ, suggests that the moment the British cross the border the gold in dustry should lie iiretrivably destroy* 1. President Kruger also issued a circular, dated January 8, to Boer commandants and burghers urging them to show moie energy in the Transvaal cause. l!e quotes psalm 33, verse 7, as God-given instructions to the burghers and -ays that the British have fixed their faith in psalm 83. He also quotes psalm 89, verses 13 and 11 and asserts that he has searched the Bible without being able to find any other mode which can be followed by the Boers, who must fight 'in the name of the Lord.' Com mandeering is proceeding bnsilv .:t Pretoria, where the town guard is ex changing Mausers for 'Martinis, a:, the former are badly needed at the front. It is said that there are nearly 3,turn British prisoners in Pretoria. " On Tuesday heavy firing was heard along the Tugela river, to the west of Colenso, and a battle was supposed to be on. This morning Gen. Buller and his army were reported to be on the north side of the Tugela, and in good position. THE republic of Colombia, South America, is having a red hot rebellion. It is said the rebels have whipped the government troops and are marching on to the capital. Bogota. If they get into control a new president will be placed in power who will likely be moved by Venezuelan influence. . Well Done, Neighbor. The following appeared in the col nmns of the Butler Eagle last week and has the right ring to it. "The nine men who were under in dictment for perpetrating election frauds in Philadelphia at the election of 99 are fugitives from justice. The cases were called in the Court of ter sessions on Monday and defendants failed to answer to their names, thus forfeiting their bail. The defendants are: Samuel Salter, Deputy Coroner of Philadelphia and ex-Representative at Harrisburg; Joseph (J. Rodgers, Lieut, of Capital Police, Washington, D.; Clarence Messer, Wm. Cook, Harry McCabe and James T. Sheehan, also of Washington; John Silbeman, .John Sen! len and John Ilanna, of Philadelphia. The defendants were under from SI,BOO to $2,500 bail. Search has failed to re veal their whereabouts. Motion was at once made to forfeit the hail and stens will be taken to collect same. This is as it should be and every effort should be made to discover and arrest the fugitives. Their failure to appear lor trial is a confession of their guilt. It is evident that the beginning of a good work has been inaugurated by the North American iti Philadelphia It is to be hoped that public sentiment will be so aroused that a repetition of such glaring frauds will he impossible A vigilant supervision of elections and the discovery, arrest and punishment of every violator of our present, election laws will do more to purify oar clcv, tions than new legislation.

To what advantages, or favors, or methods of management do you 1 ascribe chiefly the success of the Stand ! ard Oil Company': i A. I ascribe the success of the Stand ! ard to its consistent policy to make the ! volume of its business large through the I merits and cheapness of its products. It has spared no expense in finding, se | curing and utilizing the best and cheap est methods of manufacture. It has sought for the best superintendents and workmen and paid the best wages. It has not hesitated to sacrifice old ma chinery and old plants for new and bet ter ones. It has placed its manufac tories at the points where they could supply markets at the least expense. It has not only sought markets for its principal products, but for all possible by-products, sparing no expense in in troducing them to the public. It has not hesitated to invest millions of dol lars in methods for cheapening the gathering and distribution of oils, by pipe lines, special cars, tank steamers and tank wagons. It has erected tank stations at every important railroad station to cheapen the storage and de livery of its products. It has spared no expense in forcing its products into the markets of the world, among people civilized and uncivilized. It has had faith in American oil, and has brought together millions of money for the pur pose of making it what it is, and hold ing its markets against the competition of Rnssia and all the many countries which are producers of oil and competi tors against American oil. 1(1. Q. What are in your judgment the chief advantages from industrial combinations': (a) Financially to stockholders. (b) To the public. A. All the advantages which can be derived from a co-operation of persons and aggregation of capital Much that one man cannot do alone two can do to gether, and once admit the fact that co operation, or what is the same thing, combination, is necessary on a small scale, the limit depends solely upon the necessities of business. Two persons in partnership may be a sufficiently large combination for a small business, but if the business grows, or can be made to grow, more persons and more capital must be taken in. The business may grow sc large that a partnership ceases to be a proper instrumentality for its purposes, and then a corporation be comes a necessity. In most countries, as in England, this form of industrial combination is sufficient for a business co-extensive with the parent country, but it is not so in this country. Our federal form of government making every corporation created by a state foreign to every other state, renders it necessary for persons doing business through corporate agency to organize corporations in some or many of the different states in which their business is located Instead of doing business through the agency of one corporation they must do business through the agencies of several corporations. If the business is extended to foreign coun tris—and Americans are not today sat isfied with home markets alone it will be found helpful and possibly necessary to organize corporations in such coun tries, for Europeans are prejudiced against foreign corporations as are the people of many of our states. These different corporations thus become co operating agencies in the same business, and are held together by common own ership of their stocks. It is too late to ague about advantages of industrial combinations. They are a necessity. And if Americans are to have the privilege of extending their business in all the states of the Union, and into foreign countries as well, they are a necessity on a large scale, and re quire the agency of more than one cor poration Their chief advantages are: 1. Command of necessary capital. 2. Extension of limits of business. 4. Increase of number of persons in terested in the business. 4. Economy in the business. Improvements and economies which are derived from knowledge of many interested persons of wide experience. 0. Power to give the public improved products - at less prices and still make a profit tor stockholders. 7. Permanent work and good wages for laborers. I sjieak from uiy experience iu the business with which I have been inti mately connected for about forty years Our iirst combination was a partner ship and afterward a corporation in Ohio. That was sufficient for a local relining business. Lsut dependent solely upon local business we would have failed years ago. We were forced to extend our markets and to seek an ex- port trade. This iatter made the sea board cities a neccessary place of busi ness, and we soon discovered thai manufacturing for export could be more economically carried on at the seaboard, hence refineries at Brooklyn, at Hayonne, at Philadelphia, and necessary corporations iu New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We si>on discovered as the business grew that the primary method of trans porting oil in barrels could not last. The package often cost more than the contents, and the forests of the country were not sufficient to supply the neces sary material for tin extended length of time. Hence we devoted attention to other methods of transportation, adopt ed the pipe line system, and found capi tal for pipe line construction equal to the necessities of the business. To operate pipe lines required fran chises from the states In which they were located, and consequently corpor at ions in those states just as railroads running through different states ate forced to operate under separate state charters. To perfect the pipe line sys tem of transportation required iu the neighborhood of Otto of capital This could not be obtained or maintain ed without industrial combination. The entire oil business is dependent upon this pipe line system Without it every well would shut down, every eveiy foreign market would be closed to us. The pipe line system required other improvements, such as tank cars upon railways and finally the tank steamer. Capital bad to bt furnished for them and corporations created to own and operate them Every step taken was necessaiT in the business if it was to be properly devel oped, and only through such successive steps and by such tin industrial combi nation is America to day enabled to utilize the bounty which its land pours forth, and to furnish the world with the best and cheapest light ever known, receiving in return therefore from for eign lands nearly $.V>,001).Oil:) per year, most of which is distributed in pay tnent of American labor. 1 have given a picture rather than a detail of the growth of one inlus trial combination. It is a pioneer, and its work has been of incalculable value. There are others American products be sides oil for which the markets of the world can b-* opened. and legislators will be blind t > our best industrial In terests if they undully hinder by legis lation the c.unibination of persons and capital requisite for the attainment of so desirable an end. 11. What are the chief disadvant ages or dangers to the public arising from them'.' A. The dangers are that the power conferred by combination may be abus ed, that combinations may be formed for speculation in stocks, rather than for conducting business, and that for this purpose prices may be temporarily rais ed instead of being lowered. These abuses are possible to a greater or less extent in all combinations large or small, but this fact is no more uf an argument against combinations than the fact that steam may explode is an argument against steam. Steam is necessary and can he made compara tively safe. Combination is necessary and its abuses can lie minimized, other wise our legislators must acknowledge their incapacity to deal with the most important instrument of in lustry. Ilith"rti»fiiost It ifislative attempts have been an..effort not to control but to de stroy. hence their futillity. 1"/ What legislation, if any. would you suggest regarding industrial combinations'; A. First Federal legislation, under which corporations may be created and regulated, if that b«* possible. Second, in lieu thereof, state legisla tion as nearly uniform as possible en couraging combinations of persons and capital for the purpose of carrying on ! industries, but permitting state super - ; vision, not of a character to hamper in dustries, bnt sufficient to prevent frauds npon the public.

Sam Salter. ex- Representative from the Seventh watii of Philadelphia, and deputy coroner of Philadelphia, together with Lieutenant Rodgers, of the Capitol police, of Washington. D. C., and three other government employes last week is still fresh in the memory of the people of the state. These men have fled to Mexico. The Quay machine, it is hint ed. has paid their bondsmen the amount of bail forfeited, and it Is not likely that the criminals will be heard from again. The work of uncovering the gigantic ballot frauds, by which 65,000 fraudulent names are put on the voting lists of Philadelphia, is pro ceeding rapidly. On the assessor's list in the Second division of the Seventh ward 142 bogus names out of a total of 373 was found by those who made a diligent canvass. In other words, the Quay machine had padded the list in this one division more than 98 per cent. HITS THE FARMERS. If the country people of Pennsylva nia, the farmers, the merchants and the small storekeepers and property owners only knew how this system of "padding" by thf Quay machin* in Philadelphia costs them money they would defeat the machine every time it showed its hand. The plain people are being robbed by the ballot thieves, the crooks and the ex-convicts in poli tics in the great cities. Robbed in dol lars and cents; money taken out of their pockets. This is how it is done. Under the law the distribution of the school funds of the state is made on the basis of the number of school teachers in each district, the number of scholars enrolled, and the number of tarables—names of voters—that ap pear on the assessors' lists. Philadel phia cannot falsify In the number of teachers employed in her public schools, or the number of pupils en rolled in those schools, but the Quay politicians do cheat when they pad the assessors' lists with fiS.OOO fraudulent names. This gives Philadelphia tens of thousands of dollars more than she is entitled to and cuts down just that much of the amount of money that should go to the other counties of the state. CASH FROM FARMERS. It will thus be seen that every time the Quay machine in Philadelphia adds 100 names to the bogus list of voters it is robbing some country community of school money. The farmers of Pennsylvania are therefore vitally in terested in the stupendous ballot box frauds in Philadelphia. It means cash to them. They are paying out money for school tax when they should not do so, simply because the Quay ma chine In Philadelphia pads the list of voters and Philadelphia schools get more than their share of the state cash. The case of M. S. Quay still hangs fire in the United States senate. He cannot be re-elected. latterly he has grown defiant, and last week declared to a reporter in Washington, and it was republished in the Philadelphia North American, that he, Quay, pro posed to be a candidate for re-election again; that he would enter the fight In defiance of the expressed wish of the people. Mr. Quay has been turned down by the people of Pennsylvania, and to anybody but a member of the machine this would be sufficient. But Quav does not propose to accent the verdict. He is going Into the state and with his machine will once more endeavor to thwart the will of the peo ple and secure his re-election to the senate. \ AN OLD GAME. The plan by which he and his friends expect to fool the people is an old one. They are going to put up Quay men for the legislature in every county. If any one should ask tliesa candidates if they are Quay men they will deny that they are anything but "regular" Republicans, who propose to abide by the caucus decision if elected. That is all Mr. Quay wants. If hie can get men to go into caucus he wiill re elect himself again. It will be well for the plain peoptle of Pennsylvania to distrust the candidate for the legislature who says that he Is neither Quay nor anti-Quay, but will abide by the caucus decision. There is no intermediate ground. A candi date must be either for Quay vr against him, and so declare hlmsralf. There arc no hylirb. in this year's fight.
