"THE apathy of which so much is said is the apathy of contentment. Our peo ple were attaining the sublime condition of Nirvana. "--Quay at Mead ville. Nirvana'; Nirvana.' What for a thing is that 1 Some twenty-five hundred years ago, a yonng Indian prince whose home was along the Ganges, and who had spent his early manhood in such luxury and licentiousness as to cause his relatives to complain of it, suddenly became good and began preaching. And as he preached he formulated a system of religion, the goal of which is Nirvana —the state of perfect rest on this Earth— and that religion now prevails in eastern India, China and some of the islands. The believer who follows "the Paths through the first three stages, cuts loose from the meshes of ignorance, pas sion and sin; escapes from the net of transmigration; and—Nirvana is within his grasp. But as Boddism ignores the existence of a God or Creator, and denies the ex istence of a soul, it is impossible for a practical man to figure ont what the thing is. One noted English writer, after studying the matter, was of opinion that it meant Extinction, or Death, or Immolation; and if that is Mr. Quay's idea, perhaps he will let the public know how near he considers the rest of "our people'' to it. PRESIDENT MITCHELL of the Miner*' Union ha* issued a ':all for a convention, tomorrow, at Scranton. Quay's Oratorical Art.

The feature of these meeting* have been the "Old Man'*'' stamp ipeechei, whose literary quality attract* more attention than bin careful avoidance of the real issues or the iurtiriHlc merit* of the personal and factional fij<ht for the Senate. Even Colonel Quay'* opponents, insur gent* or Democrats, admit that he in a man of unique ideM, and that charhcterintir never appeared more than in these speeches.

Isn't that a strong word to use Mr. Quay: and shouldn t a bill of particulars or a diagram go with it? Was it W an amaker, or Chris Magee, or Dave Mar ton or Bill Flinn did iti And how wonderfully people have been mistaken on the matter. There are thousands of Republicans in this State today, who are under the impres sion that ex-State Treasurer Livsey had to leave the state on account of his political and business relations with yourself and your agents; that Hay wood's death was from the same cause, and that Cashier Hopkins and Josiah R. Adams put pistols to their heads for the same reason, and now they will have to revise those impressions. But if they are all in the Bud dist heaven of Nirvana, that you talked about at Meadville, Mr. Quay, what difference does it make? POLITICAL. County Chairman McQuistion and candidates Williams, Thompson and Mates are traveling over the connty vis iting party workers and marking the poll books. Gov. Roosevelt had a remarkable ex perience in Chicago last Sunday morn ing as he was leaving the Trinity Re formed chnrch. A crowd of boys in sulted him and followed his carriage to his hotel. One wonders where the po lice of the town were. Roosevelt canvassed Illinois last week, making from ten to twenty speeches a day The announcement that ex-President Harrison will take the stump for McKinley is another millstone to Demo cratic hopes. Harrison has been vari ously reported. First as lukewarm; then as against McKinley's war policy, and some even went so far as to place him among the snpporters of Bryan. The ex-president will speak and there will be no mistaking his sen timents. He is among the very ablest men in the Nation. A profound lawyer, a diplomat, a strategist; he took to the presidential office the best equipped mind, the most stable purpose and un bending integrity that were found there for many years. When Harrison speaks it will not be through his hat, neither will it be from manuscript bugged to death. It will come in a form and substance that will command attention. It will give to the campaign the quintessence of dignified litera ture. —Ex. In Great Britian the political cam paign, whose duration is confined to about five weeks, is in full swing. When Parliament was disolved the im pression prevailed that the Conserva tives were going to have a walk-over. The Liberals were badly disorganized. They lacked a vigorous and united leadership, nor had they any issue in sight upon which to make an effective appeal to the electorate The only doubtful point was thought to lie the size of the Ministerial majority, and it was confidently expected that it would be substantially increased. It is still not believed that the Opposi tion party, that is the Liberals, have any chance of winning, but they are said to be making a much better fight than had been expected and the politi cal tide is running i n a way that the Conservatives don't at all like. They are beginning to fear that th<-ir major ity in the House of Commons will be smaller, not larger than liefore. "TIIIH country ahvav* ha* expanded and alway* will expand, until it fall* to piece* of it* own greatness" *aid Quay at Meadville. No danger of that, but the Cameron secret *ociety for the purpose of con trolling Republican nomination* hit* been *o expanded by you till it reache* every village in the state, and it i* now falling to piece* of it* own rottenness.

At Trenton, last Saturday, some boys plaved Indian, and one boy was tied to a fence post. A heap of brush was piled about his feet, and one venturesome spirit lighted the pile at the outer edge. The boys then yelled and danced around the staked prisoner, and all the time the flames grew bigger and higher. One boy saw the flames gaining too much headway and threw what he thought was a cup of water on the fire. It was gasoline. With a roar the flames leaped higher. There was a scream from the little boy at the stake, and consternation seized the boy Indians. They fled in all directions, leaving their victim shrieking while the fire fairly ate him up alive. Passersby heard the awful yells of the boy. and", running to the lot. cut the fainting roasted child from the post to which he had been tied. He was unconscious. The little fellow died before they could get him to a hospital. A flock of quail allighted in the yard of Charles Balzer. at Beaver, last Thursday. Mr. Balzer shot five of the birds. Humane Agent Hiram McKee has brought snit against Balzer for kill ihg game out of season. The penalty is per bird. At a public sale near Blairsville late lv these prices were obtained: Hay brought $10.15 in the mow; oats, 2? cents per bushel in the garner; corn in the shock, but little better than f<«lder. 11 cents per shock; 6-week-old pigs, *4 per pair; chickens, from 25 to 80 cents each; good cows, $23 per head. A PROLONGED fight between the railroads and the steel rail manufac tures is now probable. The directors of the Carnegie Company learned that the princijial railroads at a secret meeting in New York had decided to pay no more than $22 a ton for their rails for next year. They at once determined to maintain the S2O rate named by the rail pool at a recent New York meeting. The Carnegie directors assert that they will not sell rails for $22 a ton, and that if the railroads will not pay more they will have to make them themselves. The dispute is expected to reach a climax soon, when the railroads come into the market for their next year s needs. Clay Township No. !£.

It has had phenomenal runs in all the cities, and altogether has made a record, the like of which has not been since the first theatrical performances were gi%'en in this country.

Carner Stock company It is a stirring story of bor der life, full of fine comedy situations and exciting climaxes, and the splendid performances of the company left noth ing to be desired. The title role was cared for byMr. McKee: who invested the hero with all the attributes that appeal to an audience, and won repeated ap plause of the heartiest kind. Mr. IJlackaller in the character of the fun ny Irishman, and Mr Webb as the gentleman of color, both contributed liberally to the humor of the piece, and won distinct approval.
