WASHINGTON NOTES.
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

"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."

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."

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

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.

Printers* Strike Still On.
BUTLER, PA., Jan. 20, litoo.
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
