Friday's dispatches brought authentic information of the crossing of the Tugela river by Gen. Warren's division of Gen. Buller's army at Potgieters Drift, to the west of Colenso, or up the river. The Boers made no resistance to their crossing the river, but entrenched themselves in the hills. Buller has about 35,000 men, and 80 guns. The British War office announced that it would, this week, forward 70 guns, 4000 men and 2000 horses. Lord Methuen was lying quiet behind his works on the Modder. and Gatacre and French were a waiting reinforce ments. Saturday's dispatches announced the advance of the British army upon the Boer positions facing Potgieters Drift. UOn Sunday the British troops pushed slowly forward towards Ladysmith, continually fighting, and losing about 800 in killed and wounded. Webster Davis arrived at Lorenzo Ma nines, and was offered a ride to Pretoria in President Kruger's private car. On Tuesday Gen. Bnller's flank move ment came to a standstill. His troops were occupying some ridges, while the Boers occupied still higher hills oppo site them, with a deep and bare yalley between them, over which neither army dared pass.

On Friday Senator Hoar of the Elec tions Committee of the Senate said the minority report in the Quay case wonld not be ready for next day. as scheduled, and the matter became a jest. The Nicarangua field was reported favorably from Committees to Aoth houses, and will probably be passed at this session. On Saturday there were rumors of an alliance between Quay and Clark, and the action of the Senate in fixing upon Feb. li> as the date when the vote shall be taken on the pending Currency bill made it certain that the Quay case can not be disposed of before that time. The Clark case, of course, will not be soon presented, as at least a month will be required for taking the testimony of witnesses already summoned. During the day it was demonstrated that the alliance entered into between the Clark men.who seek to keep the Montana Sen ator in his new seat, and the Quay men. who seek to put Quay into his old seat, is a complete and binding one, and that henceforth the two contests will stand or fall together. This alliance has created some surprise and indignation on both sides of the Senate Chamber. Some of Mr. Quay's friends do not hesi tate to say that he has made a mistake and that his cause will be seriously in jured by being involved with that of the Montana Senator. A New England Republican Senator, who would vote for the admission of Mr. Quay on the constitutional question, if that question were presented, said that, in common with other Senators, he was not fully aware of the alliance between Mr. Quay and Senator Clark, and that he felt, in view of the fact that he could not bring himself to vote in favor of the admission of Mr. Quay, although he still held that the Governor had the right to appoint in such a case. He intimated that the way out of the dilemna for him and others like hiu>, if it should turn out that their votes would give Mr. Quay a majority, was to keep the matter waiting until Mr. Qnay recognized the situation and withdrew. Republican Senators assert that Sena tor Clark has offered to contribute a quarter of a million dollars, or an even larger sum, to the Democratic campaign fund this year if he has the general support of Democratic Senators who are generally disposed to vote against him. On the other hand, Democratic- Senators assert that Senator Clark has has offered to contribute to the Repub lican campaign fund or to the campaign fund of individual Republican -Senators in return for support on the Republican side of the chamber. These are samples of the things which are freely said by the Senators in conversation and which have prejudiced the case of Mr. Quay as well as of Mr, Clark. It is reported at the Senate that the advocates of Mr. Clark's cause are pre pared to favor a plan of action, hereto fore unconsidered in case it is found that the report of the committee will be adverse to him. This plan contem plates a report, not declaring that Mr. Clark's seat is vacant, as would be the usual course, but one recommending that he be expelled. The point of this is that to expel a Senator a two-thirds vote is required, while a majority only is needed to declare a seat vacant. It is not likely that this alternative plan will be put into operation, however, for if the committee should find Mr. Clark guilty they would probably adopt the shortest and easiest method of retiring him. The investigation before the Senate of the bribery in connection with the election of M. A. Clark, as senator from Montana, developed some testimony, both startling and amazing. Ten thous and dollars was Clark's limit for a vote. Everybody in the town, including Chap lain of the House enjoyed in the ple:n ant occupation of "pulling Clark's leg " The pension appropriation bill, car rying |145,145,250, was passed by the House Friday. It was made the vehi cle of an attack upon the Comnisssioner of Pensions by Mr. Curtis (Rep.', Kan sas), who was seconded by Mr. Lentz and Mr, Norton (Ohio) and Mr. Robin son (Indiana), aUH other Northern Democrats. All inveigte.» gainst the lack of liberality In. the administrate" of the pension laws. The Commissioner was ably defended by a score of mem bers from both sides of the honse. "Both majority and minority reports on the Quay case will be presented to the Senate Tuesday. The Quay people seem more confident than eyer of suc cess and are very boastful. The pres sure brought to bear upon Senators who are opposed to seating Col. Quay is persistent and powerful as the time for voting draws near. One Senator stated that he had received a letter from a large manufacturing corporation in his state, one employing several thous and men, which said that it would be a very great benefit to the establishment's business interests if he were to yote for Col. Quay. The Senator said that he at once replied, stating that he could not see what connection this corporation's business interests could possibly have with a purely constitutional question, such as that involved in the Quay case. There are several Senators who are ex pected to yote for Col. Quay who ex press themselves as disgusted and in dignant at the concerted pressure which large business concerns are bringing to bear in his behalf."—ll. Hall in Pitts-1 burg Times. On Tuesday both the majority and minority reports on the Quay case were presented to the Senate from Commit tee, but their reading caused but little interest. Both were long papers. Sen ator Aldrich said no yote would be tak en on the case until after the monetary bill was disposed of, and a vote on that will not betaken till Feb. 15th. On Monday the House Committee on Elections adopted a resolution recom mending an ammendent to the consti tution authorizing the election of Sena tors by a direct vote of the people, the House committee, after citing where vacancies have occurred, "through the manipulations of State Legislatures," Pennsylvania being one of the States mentioned, says; "Never in the history of the Senate has that body seated a person seeking admission by appoint ment from the Governor after the Leg islature of the State has failed to elect." FIFTY millions of human beings are said to be affected by the famine in India. ONE firm in Chicago shipped two million jiounds of canned beef to South Africa, last week, for the English armies. HALES roar in the Senate last week is notice to the British lion that "there are others." TEN million dollars worth of wool chauged hands in New York, Tuesday. The Industrial Commission. iHenry Hall in Pittsburg Times.) The most important duty of the In dnstrial Commission is yet to come. Not only is it charged with investigat ing and reporting upon industrial and business conditions, but it is "to sng gest such legislation as it may deem best upon these subjects," and must also "suggest such laws as may be made a basis for uniform legislation by the various States of the Union." Speak ing of this ex Representative T. W. Phillips, of New Castle, Pa., the author of the bill and also one of the commis sioners under it, said: "This is the first commission charged with the duty of recommending legisla tion. All others have merely investi gated and reported,leaving the question of legislation to others. Consequently our work is most important. This com mission is the only means by which the testimony it has taken could have been obtained, and that testimony must be of almost incalculable value to Con gress and the State legislatures in their efforts to frame proper industrial legis lation. Our theory has been to utilize the existing statistics and information contained in the reports of the National and State labor bureaus, factory in spectors. the English and other foreign labor commissions, and of Australia as well, supplementing this vast mass of information, which the commission it self could not now obtain at an expendi ture of less than #1,000,000, with the testimony of the leading representatives of every branch of industry. This in quiry is being made with close regard to new industrial conditions. This is an age of change. The conditions of 25 years ago are not those of today. An inquiry such as this must deal with things as they are, tracing them back, if possible, to their causes, and then re commending legislation to meet them/' Mr. Phillips takes a deep interest in the work. He introduced the bill creat ing the commission to the Fifty-third Congress, but it did not pass. Re-intro duced in the Fifty-fourth Congress, it passed on the last night of the session. President Cleveland came to the capitol the next day to sign bills up until 12 o'clock, noon, the hour of final adjourn ment. Mr. Phillips laid the bill before him for his signature. "I dpu't know what to do about this bill. " said Mr. Cleveland. "It is an important meas ure, and I have not examined it. John," he said turning to Senator Carlisle, "shall I sign it?" Mr. Carlisle shook his head and the President laid down the pen and pushed the bill aside. That negative nod of Mr. Carlisle's head kill ed, for the time, the measure which Mr. Phillips had labored through two Con gresses to pass. His own term expired that day, too, and the work of getting the bill through the next Congress de volved upon others, although Mr. Phil lips came to Washington and aided in passing it in 1898. President McKinley signed it and the Industrial commission was framed. Its official life will end next October.but it is possible that Con gress may extend it, if it be found that its work cannot be fully accomplished by that time." West I.liberty.

Marion Gibson was elected manager of the ball team Over *250 in cash has already been raised, and several star players are ready to sign. The team of 1900 promises to be a hummer, as some of our old rivals will discover before the season ends. A movement is on foot to change the name of Centreville borough to that of Slipperyrock. This should meet with the approbation of all our citizens, but it won't. The postoffice is called Slip peryrock, and the town's name should correspond. There are Centervilles galore in the United States and we ouLcht to be willing to decrease the number by one. The "old residenter" may kick, but what good reason has he for doing so? The change is merely a matter of convenience and will in no way affect the prosperity of the town. The erection of the new model school building in this place will cause a small boom in the spring. Now that the time for the spring election has been fixed our votes are ready to slash all machine candidates, so the Quay disciples needn't count on any material support in this neck of woods. We are too simple hearted to see the benefit of aiding corruption. The primary election is going to bring about a change in the complexion of our borough officials and we can soon hope some radical changes. There are far too many anti-expansion Demo crats among the borough "dads.'' and it is hoped that the "faithful" will again get together and elect a more liberal lot of officials. James R.

EDITOR CITIZEN:— During the past week the strike of the Pittsburg print ers' organization, known as Typograph ical Union No. 7, has received consider able attention in this vicinity, and as there exists a general misconception re garding the justness of the union's po sition, TV" deem it advisable to publish a statement in explanation of the ques tions at issue. Some time ago the proprietors of the Pittsburg English newspapers formed an organization among themselves known as the Newspaper Publishers' Association of Pittsburg, and composed of The Post, Times, Commercial Ga zette, Leader, Press, Chronicle Tele grapnand News This combination or trust refused to sign the new scale of wages submitted by the Typographical Union last month, and the printers came out on strike rather than be thrust out. They were supplanted by non union men obtained in Eastern cities and elsewhere. In labor circles such men are termed "scabs,'' "rats,"' "riff raff." etc., and the papers on which they work are euphoniously denominated "scab newspapers." The printers' scale, as originally pre sented, contained a clause affecting Du qnesne Council No. 199, composed of seven machine tenders, men who keep the typesetting machines in proper working order. These machine tenders presented a request last summer to be admitted to membership in the Inter national Typographical Union, and when the opportunity was granted the Pittsburg machinists refused to join the local union, not for the reason that they were already organized, but because they insisted upon working seven days in the week at $5.00 per day—Sunday aud every day and were not satisfied with the scriptural injunction "Six days shalt thou labor," etc. Therein lies the cause of the machinists' objec tion to becoming members of Typo graphical Union No. 7, notwithstanding that the machinists in nearly every other city in the country had united themselves with the typos. .Their un christian greed for the almighty dollar forms the basis for their treacherous opposition to the printers' union. However, the Publishers' Association objected to the new scale, and Typo graphical Union No. 7 waived all refer- ( ence to the machinist clause and agreed to submit the remainder of the scale to arbitration, an alternative also rejected bv the publishers. The new scale, for which the union printers are now con tending, thus resolves itself into the following: An increase of five cents per hour for the printers and a reduction of half an hour in the working time. Recognition of the proof-readers as onion luen, an increase of their salary and a reduction of half an hour in the working time. All machinists employed in taking care of the typesetting machines to be come members of Pittsburg Typograph ical Union No. 7. The action of the printers has been endorsed by over 300 labor organiza tions within a radius of 150 miles of Pittsburg The weekly papers of this Publishers' Association have been en croaching on the field of the local coun ty papers, without publishing much news of particular interest hereabouts, and in this connection the people of this section can exercise their good judg ment with considerable l>enefit to our county publications. TYPO. I nionville Local Institute. Old King Sol utterly refused to shine for ns on January 20, 1 VMM». the day of onr local institute at Unionville. ami dark clouds hovered o'er ns and rain de scended upon us, but within the Pres byterian church, where a large number ot teachers, students and friends gather ed to entertain and to be entertained and instructed, there was no lack of sunshine—every body and everything bright and cheerful. The church was simply but tastefully decorated with pines brought for this purpose from the Oneida pine tracts and made a cheery and welcome greet- lug. The good attendance shows the inter est our people take in school work and education. The institutes at Unionville have al ways been noted for their instructive and entertaining features and this one was certainly no exception. The addresses were all quite good and so many helpful points on school work were given that I ask for space in your valued paper for a few of them. The institute was organized by elect ing Prof. John Pollock, chairman and appointing Miss Margaret Moore, sec re tary and Miss Iva Miller, recording secretary. A welcome song by the choir was followed by prayer by John C. Moore. Everybodv. big and little, then joined in sinning " My Country 'Tis of Thee"— a song every boy and girl should know perfectly. Then the address of welcome, full of cheery words and good thoughts, was delivered by Josiah Varunui. in an able manner. Aiter extending to all in his usual hearty way a sincere welcome, he spoke of the pleasure derived from meeting with friends at our institutes and the benefit received from coming in contact with other minds. A few of his thoughts were "It is no disparagement or debasement to the cause of Christanity to meet here in the cause of education but rather an uplift ing and extension to that common edn cation so near and dear to the heart of every true American citizen. Let all eduction be united with moral culture and training and it will enter deeply into the heart and make on abid ing impression. The influence of our people as a whole is just what our common schools make them. If our common schools were better cur education would be better. Education is like the smiling and renovating power of spring when it pours its fertilizing elements upon this cold earth and makes it rich with verdure and melodious with song. The response was given by Miss Min nie Whituiire. she spoke of the teachers responsibility and power and said that the teacher cannot make scholars of all, but he can make thinking men and wo men of those entrusted to his care. Amos Elliott, of Butler, gave a fine address on "Opportunity."' Helen McCandless,recited "The Hen's Ducklings" very nicely after which the choir sang "The King and the Miller," this was followed bv a lengthy discus sion on "Progress" by Charles Carna han, "Progress" he says is a universal law and goes hand and hand with suc cess. He spoke of the progress along educational lines and compared the log cabin school house of former days to our commodions and comfortable school building of today. Hazel McCandless recited "The little peddler" after which Bliss G. Elliott, of Butler, gave an enteresting talk on "Success Possibilities in higher education wis very practically discussed by Madge E. Moore. It is within the teachers re sponsibilities to inspire others to a higher education. Rev. H. E. Snyder of Butler, gave a laughable excuse for his being late. In bis remarks he said the way to success is open to all and that you should set an ideal before yon That which is best seek for it. Succeed and make the best out of common edu cation. Georgie McCandless, spoke a funny little recitation which all ( jjoyed after which John C. Moore, one of our oldest teachers gave a short talk on the evil of the tobacco habit. Miss Sefton, of Saxotiburg, then re cited "Little Blossom" which received a hearty encore. After she recited again the choir sang "Going down the valley," which closed the afternoon session. EVENING SESSION. The mud by day faint portrait was ( )f urV..a t V»«» The rain had ceased its downward pour. But black huge darkness settled o'er And reigned supreme. Although the evening was decidedly disagreeable the church by eight o'clock was pretty well filled. A vesper hymn by choir opened this session. Ada McCandless, gave a pleas ing welcome recitation aud the wel come address by Josiah Varnnm, was again given by request. Ernest U. Snyder, took for his sub ject "Nobilitv of Motive" and gave a tine talk along this line He said, "the streamlet never rises above its source neither can the actions be more elevat ing than the motives which prompt them. He who acts nobly is urged to act thus by motives which partake of the same element. "Nobility of Motive," not only re quires a well tilled measure to your neighbor, an indiscriminate honesty iu all things. a just compensation for labor but demands even a kindler spirit known as the love of fellowmen." Recitations were given by Mary 1 Varnum, aid Sylvia and May McCand less. The latter are twins, only six years old. but knew their pieces well and said them nicely. Miss Amabell Lee, of Elora, gave two recitations which brought forth peals of laughter from the audience. These were followed by recitations by Miss Sefton which were equally as well re ceived. Prof. James T. McCandless, on the subject ot Practical Education, gave a very interesting discourse. He said "Education is not practical unless it helps the child along the line of his work or talent. Each one has some special talent. 'To get a practical ed ucation von must have a practical teacher." Erna Coene, Florence Holman, Verna McCandless. and Estha Glenn, gave short recitations. Prof. John D. Mcßride, followed with a short address. He said that it was often made out at institutes that the school is a "Land that is fairer than day" but that is not always found to be so. Miss Sefton, again spoke and every one was delighted with her recitations. After a song by the choir. Prof. Clar ence Snyder, gave an excellent address '' W hy V W hen'! How Y A Good Night song then closed another successful institute. We wish to thank Miss Sefton, aud Miss Lee, for the pleasure they afforded us by their recitations. The speakers for the ad dresses which were interesting and help ful aud to congratulate the teachers on the success of the institute. IVA E. MILLER, Record ill g Secretary Institute at West Sunlmry.
