WAS 111 SO ION NOT KS.
Last Fridav it was expected that the
Quay case would come to a vote on
Tuesday of this week, and the delay of
the Committee 011 Privileges and Elec
tions in presenting its report on the case
of Senator Clark (Democrat) of Monta
na, accused of buying his seat caused
all sorts of surmises, but on Saturday it
was announced that Clark would not be
allowed to yote 011 the case.
On Monday the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections submitted its unani
mous report to the Senate in the case of
Senator Clark. The finding is that his
election is "null and void on account of
briberies, attempted briberies and cor
rupt practices by his agents, and of vio
lation of the laws of Montana defining
and punishing crimes against the elec
tive franchise."
Chandler calculated that the vote
next day on the Quay case would be a
tie—42 to 42—including pairs.
Quay's Defeat.
At 4 p. m. of Tuesday a vote was tak
en in the Senate, for and against the ad
mission of M. S. Quay as a member, on
Gov. Stone's appointment, made nearly
a year ago, and Quay was defeated by
one vote—33 to 33. Eighteen members
were paired, and four were absent with
out pairs.
The vote was taken, in silence, after
the final speechmaking on the Subject,
and it developed some surprises. Hanna
was supposed to be for Quay, but it
turned he was paired against
him, which caused the Quayites to de
nounce both him and McKinley. Sena
tor Vest of Missouri (Democrat) one of
Quay's chums, had promised to vote for
him, but weakened at the last moment.
As soon as the vote was announced the
Senate adjourned as some of the Sena
tors were fearful that Penrose '"might
create a scene of some sort. '■'
Senator Clark of Montana did not
vote, and it was said he would resign,
and thus not allow his case to come to a
vote.
Senator Burrows of Michigan in dis
cussing the result said:
"It is a striking commentary on the
patriotism of the Senate that senators
who were attached to Mr. Quay by per
sonal feelings voted to uphold the pre
cedents of a century and render a ver
dict in accordance with the Constitu
tion. By the unanimous report of the
committee in the case of Senator Clark
of Montana and the decision of today,
the Senate has raised itself in the esti
mation of the people to a plane that it
never before attained."
THE lower valley of the Mississippi
was flooded last week; several people
were drowned.and the town of Hickory,
Miss., was surrounded by water.
POLITICAL
At the Republican primaries held in
Tioga county (Gov. Stone's native
county) last Saturday, the Antis had
everything their own way. The con
vention met, Monday, and the official
canvass showed that Jerome B. Niles
had a majority of 688 over David Cam
eron for president judge. The returns
from certain districts indicated the in
tense feeling. South Delmar, the birth
place of Gov. Stone, gaye a majority fyfr
Niles. Senator Merrick, the Quay lead
er of the county, failed to carry his town
_ of Blossburg. Hitchcock, anti-Quay
for the Legislature, defeated H. M.
Foote, the governor's State agent at
Washington, by over 1.700 majority.
Champaign, the other nominee, made
his canvass as a middle-of-the-road man.
Vandusen, anti-Quay, won for slieri ff
over Wakeley, Quay, by 107.
The vote of Somerset County was
close—about 3200 to 3000—and the Antis
complained of the vote of some newly
established mining towns in the north
ern part of the county, which was al
most solid for the Quayites. F. J.
Koozer for Congress, and W. H. Koontz
and S, A. Kendall for Assembly, all An
tis, are the nominees. The re-nomina
tion of Gen. Koontz, one of the Anti-
Quay leaders at Harrisburg, at last ses
sion, was a bitter pill for the Quayites,
and they bolted the convention, which
the Antis controlled by a vote of 26 to
16.
Resolutions approving of the course
of Gen. Koontz and Mr. Kendall, win
ter before last were adopted--unani
mously, after the Quayites left the con
vention —and a change in the rules was
made authorizing the election of County
Chairman by the popular vote.
Republican State Conventions were
held in Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin
yesterday, and all endorsed McMcKin
ley.
The Republican state convention of
Tennessee, at Nashville last Friday in
dulged in a "split", and put two tickets
in the field.
THE defeat of M. S. Quay, last Tues
day, cannot but be considered a victory
for the Nation. His being seated,under
the circumstances would been a blow at
the integrity of our institutions.
Harrisburg.
Delegates, spectators, candidates and
others flocked to Harrisburg, Tuesday
and crowded the hotels and the streets,
and talked over situations and candi
dates, till towards evening, when the
news of Quay's defeat at Washington
seemed to knock all plans and X'repara
tions into the proverbial "cocked hat''
and the Quayites denounced Hanna and
McKinley, and breathed vengance and
talked vindication.
The convention to meet next day
would consist of 361 delegates, with 181
required to nominate. The candidate
for Auditor General had been settled
upon at the Atlantic City conference,
and the only prospective contest was for
the two Congressman-at-large with
Grow, Flood and Foederer as contest
ants.
At the Convention, yesterday, 11. W.
Oliver presided; E. B. Hardenbergh, of
Wayne Co., was nominated for Auditor
Gen'l; G. A. Grow, of Susquehanna and
R. H. Foerderer of Philadelphia were
nominated for Congressman at-large;
aol four electors-at-large and seven
delegates-at-large to the National Con
vention were named.

i
Popular Election of Senators.
The House of Representatives ha*
repeatedly proposed an amendment to
the Federal Constitution requiring the
election of United States Senators by a
direct vote of the people. Last week it
passed again this amendment and it goes
to the Senate. So firm is the judgment
of the House on this point that it reject
ed the recommendation of a mojority of
■its committee that it should be optional
with the State to provide by law for the
election of Senators by the people.
The resolution adopted by a vote of 240
to 14 takes the election of Senators
away from the Legislature in all cases
and directs that the people shall vote
for United States Senator.
This resolution seems responsive to
the scandalous revelations in the Clark
case and the powerful argument of Sen
ator Burrows against the greater evil of
gubernatorial appointments of Senators.
If the Legislatures cannot do their duty
and Governors are privileged to
Senators after caballing with a faction
in the Legislature to prevent an elec
tion, it is time the whole business was
taken away from both Legislature and
Governor.
Thirty-four State Legislatures have
asked Congress to proj>ose an amend
ment to the Constitution making the
Senatorial office elective by the people.
There would be no difficulty in getting
a ratification of such an amendment by
the States. The stumbling block is the
Senate, composed of Senators who owe
their seats to the present system and
who are not sure of their ability to hold
their seats under popular election.
The feeling against the abuses of the
present system is strong and growing
stronger, and if the Senate is too reck
less of public opinion the demand for a
change will become so imperative as to
reach through the Legislatures to the
Senate and compel the abandonment of
a system of election which by its results
has become highly- obnoxious to the peo
ple.—Pliila. Press.
Census Enumerators.

sus enumeration for Beaver, Butler.

The California Oil Fields,
Bakersfield, Cal., March 13, 1900.
ED. CITIZEN, Dear Sir:—l, being a
Butler Co. wheat myself,am going to try
and write you a few items from the
California oil fields which I think will
interest your readers. Hoping you will
find space for rhem in your paper.
I know how it is to be in Pennsylva
nia and wish you were in California
among the palms and roses.
Well, there are plenty of roses here,
but they don't keep them in the oil
fields. The wells are all located 011 the
foot hills of the mountains, (except iu
the city of Los Angeles) and any one
wanting to work 011 them can go out
from town or a postoffice, from one
mile as far out as he wishes to go.
The oil in Los Angeles is black, sticky
and thick, and cannot be piped: it has
to be hauled from the wells to the R.
R. in wagons.
They get a finer grade of oil in some
places, but it is nearly all so sticky that
nothing less than Pennsylvania grease
will take it off your hands.
The formation of the earth here is
very much different from what it is in
Pennsylvania: there is not much solid
rock to drill through and it is so soft in
places that they put iu their casing and
let it follow down as fast as they drilll.
The oil sand is not found on a level,
but on an angle, sometimes at an angle
of 45 degrees, and wells oti almost the
same level 011 the surface differ in depth
from 300 to 1000 feet.
Drilling and tool-dressing is about the
only work for man to do out here.
There are not many pumpers, for the
wells are pumped by pumping power
with wire cables. There are all kinds
of drillers, too, every where from Pithole
down to the present time. The people
here are all crazy over oil, and from
morning till night oil is all you can
hear, 110 matter where you may go.
There are so many companies that it
seems they- can hardly find names for
them all. ' Nearly all are stock compa
nies, some selling stock at 10 cents pel
share: and the stock advances as the
people become more excited. One com
pany, I now of, has declared a dividend
of 1 percent and bas no producing wells
yet- .
Nearly every man you meet who is
working in the oil fields is from Penn
sylvania, or has worked in Pennsylva
nia. at some time or other.-
I would like to say a word now to tin
boys who are thinking of coining to
California (and I know there are quite
a number); the work is more disagree
able all the way through and the wages
are not any better, everything consider
ed.
The climate is the only thing that can
be said is Iw'tter than Pennsylvania, and
when that is said all is said.
