February 25th, 1904 will be the last day on which your names can be filed in compliance with the rules. J. W HUTCHISON, Chairman. POLITICAL. The political sensation of this week is Quay's defense of Pennypacker, in a letter written at St. Lucie, Florida, and addressed to the Republicans of the State, through Chairman Andrews. He begins by saying that he is better informed than Pennypacker as to the circumstances leading up the late ap pointment of S. G. Thompson to the Supreme Bench, advises Pennypacker to keep his mouth shut, calls Justice J. Hay Brown of the Supreme -Court, and the newspaper men who criticised Pen nypacker malicious liars, and demands that they produce their evidence or stand convicted. He has nothing to say regarding Pen nypacker'a championship of the "press muzzler" act, or his assertion that the PI MS nf the nation has become degener ate. but he denies that there was any dickering or bargaining preceeding the that is true one well wonders wby all the Republican Jndges of the state were passed over and a Democrat appointed. The Bar of this county endorsed Judge McElvain of Washington county. The whole letter is on a par with - Quay's "bloody blouses" and ' fiery crosses" effusions of a few years ago— the bluff of the card sharp, or the braz en faced denials of a cornered criminal —and it does, and onght to, suggest to every Republican in the state the pro priety of voting for no man for the Leg islature who will not pledge himself to vote for some other man than M. S. Quay to represent this state in tlie U. S. Senate next winter —"first, last and all the time"—and to vote for no man for delegate to the State Convention, who intends voting for Pennypacker, or any pet of the Gang, for the Supreme Bench nomination. A feature of the affair, that we have not seen noticed anywhere, is the fact Pennypacker's transfer to the Supreme Bench will make "Bill" Brown of New Castle Governor of the state—Shade of John Blevins forbid. DAILY RECORD OF THE U. S SENATE. Al sent—Quay, Penrose. The Quay Deliverance. The exact value of the statements of fact in Senator Quay's angry letter con cerning the Supreme Bench manipula tion is measured by the assertion with which he opens the subject. The Sen ator begins the relevant part of his man ifesto as follows: "Governor Pennypacker never was and is not now a candidate for the Re publican nomination for the Supreme Court. He has not sought, nor will he seek, that nomination. He has not sig nified that he will accept it if tendered him, and if he is wise be will keep bis counsel upon that question." As the public discussion of the mat ter was really started by the letter of Governor Pennypacker to the Philadel phia Ledger, in which he declared that he saw no impropriety in his seeking the place, and that if nominated, he would accept the nomination, the third of the assertions quoted above is iu di rect collision with the specific factr. Moreover, when a man in the Gover nor's position publicly and throuuh the press says that he will accept a nomina tion he is a candidate. Senator Quay 's political education may lead him to be lteve tiat a man "has not sought a nom ination" unless he has begun to nail delegates by promises of offic9 or other consideration, bat that rule can hardly apply in the matter of a Governor seek ing a place on the Supreme Bench. It is, therefore, plain that the govern ing rule for the Senator's statements iu this letter is not what is the fact, but what is the statement that the Senator thinks will produce the desired public effect. As to the Senator's theories of public propriety, they are not surpris ing. They accord entirely with a re cord of reform platforms wholly repud iated and offers to shake the pluiu tree. —Dispatch. THE political leadership of this state ! has become imbecile and drunken. CAN it be possible that Quay is lying about that Pennypacker business—and,- if si, what degree of liar i* fce?

Japan followed up her initial suc cesses on the water by occupying the Korean ports of Chemulpoo, and Mas ampho and by sending an army to Seoul, the capital. The crippling of the Si berian railroad by the blowing up of bridges, and the capture of, two Rus sian troop ships, were reported, Thurs day. President Roosevelt issued his neu trality proclamation setting forth what acts were forbidden to neutrals by in ternational law. On Friday came reports of the bom bardment of Port Arthur by the Japs, and the destruction or capture of more Russian war ships, and the Chinese were reported to be organizing a large army foi the destruction of the Siberian railroad. The Russian fleet from Vladivostook bombarded the Japanese port of Hoko date. at Northern extremity of Japan; a Russian transport in Port Arthur col lided with one of their own torpedoes in the harbor and was sunk, with 95 men. • The Japs placarded Pekin with post ers, telling of their victories over the Russians— the idea being to insure their neutrality at present, and afterwards their aid. On Saturday came reports of a battle on the Yalu river, also that the four Russian war vessels, lately from Yladi vostock had been destroyed by Jap tor pedoes. After the Jap. fleet engaged the Rus sian at Port Arthur on Monday and Tuesday of last week, it disappeared, and was supposed to be escorting the Jap troop-ships to points along Ihe M.mchurian and Korean coast, but the exact points at which the troop* were landing was unknown to any but themselves The Russian army in the vicinity of the mouth ot the Yalu river was suppoted to number about 80,000, and it was thought that the Japs would land an equal or larger number. One of the features of the war news of last week was that England is pre paring for possible complications with Russia, On Monday and Tuesday of this week practically nothing of import was re ported. The two armies wer« known to be approaching each other, at some poipt on the Yalu, which is the boun dary line between Manchuria and Korea. Yesterday a London correspondent at Chemulpo stated that the Japs had already landed 120,000 men in Korea 80,000 of whom were in line to the south of the Yalu river.

[AN IN< IDF.NT OF STAGE COACH DAYS. ] More than half a ceutury ago. there was ncthiug to disturb the peace and stillness of the country, where ti:e occurrence we are about to narrate, took place, save the rumbling of the old staae coach, as she sped on her way along the turnpike from Pittsburg to Erie, or the tooting of the drivers horn to call up the postmaster in the night, to change th** mail, or to awaken some sleeping individual along the rou f -\ who, wishing to take a journey, had previously arranged with the driver i r his passage. . But this quiet was disturbed in the spring of the year, lsM, when a letter was received by the postmaster, Frank Wadsworth. at North Libertv. from some of the leading men of Pittsburg, containing the information that they had received a notice that if $40,000 was not sent to M L Robins, of North Liberty, Mercer County, Pa., against such a date. Pittsburg would be visited by a more disastrous fire than that of IS4G. The letter further stated that the money demanded would be s°nt. and the postmaster was requested to have che proper officer on hand to ar rest any person who came to secure the booty. The postmaster was a shoemaker, and worked at his trade in a rear room of the bnilding, and it so happened the constable at that time was William Foster, the gunsmith, and had his shop in an adjo ; ning building, and the neces sary paper being placed in his everything went on as usual for two or three weeks. Meanwhile, the precious package having been received, the com ing of the claimant was anxiously awaited. On the 24th day of May in walked a stranger and inquired if there was anything there for M. L. Robins: the postmaster said, "yes, wait a min ute," and, stepping back, gave the con stable the signal, and he. accompanied by a stage driver named Israel Bash, came in at the front door and made the arrest. They then proceeded to take him to the nearest justice, who. by the way. lived one mile north of the village on the Butler and Mercer turnpike, near the cypress or "tamarac" swamp, Having arrived there, and the commit ment being in readiness, the constable and his assistants were preparing to re move their prisoner to the county jail. The justice left the office for the pur pose of procnring a rope to make the prisoner more secure, when he, seeing his chance, or taking advantage of the thinness of the guard, made a break for freedom. The justice and the constable being men of two hundred pounds weight or more, with others of the posse, immediately gave chase, but he. being more fleet of foot, and reasons of his own for preferring to be alone.quick ly distanced his pursuers, and mid the dense growth of the foresr, was soon lost to view. Finding it useless to fol low him further, they returned much chagrined, to the office of the justice, where they were confronted by a new dilemna. The day was fast drawing to a close, the package containing the £lO,- 000 was there in the office, and the prisoner at large, and might be expect ed to return with a gang of accomplices any time during the night, to secure and carry away the prize. The reader will remember there were no telephone or telegraph lines at this time, and no way of communicating with the proper officers at the county seat except l>y mail or sending a messenger. They concluded the only safe course was to guard the treasure until morning. Ac cordingly a strong force was made up of the men of the neighborhood, who spent a sleepless nigbt. and when the stage came along a message was sent to the sheriff at Mercer, and Deputy Thos. Pearson came ont and took charge of the package, which was taken to Mer cer and there eptned in the piesence of proper authorities, and lo! instead of #40,000 rn crisp bank notes, it was found to contain nothing but brown paper. On the following night, Israel Bash, the stage driver, who had assisted in the capture, had a shot fired at him by some unknown person, as he diove through the darkness of the woods, which bordered the toad. Who M. L. Robins was, has never been disclos d. It was thought by some that he was one of a gang of counter feiters, who ipfesmi the country about that time, and were supposed to have their hetdqaarterj somewhere in the neighborhood of the "Old Stone House, in Butler county. This, however, is merely conjecture, and doubtless he has long ere this gon« to answer for his deeds and misdeeds before a higher tribunal than that from which he es caped, when he ran away from his hon est guardians on that memorable day ONE WHO W ah THERE, A Chicora Wedding.

Hanna, Senator from Ohio and one of tlie foremost figures in American public life, died Monday evening in his apartments at the Arlington Hotel in Washington of typhoid fever. He passed away peace fully after being unconscious for several hours. A little over eight years at<o Mr. Hanna was unknown as a national political foice. As a business man with large interests his reputa tion was by no means local, but iu politics his sphere had not gone much beyond Northern Ohio. It is a point of interest that the occasion on which within a fe-v short months he ro?e to acknowledged position as a national leader was created by hi 3 warm and disinterested faith in and enthusiasm for William McKinley. It was not for his own advancement but for the triumph of his friend that he plunged heart and sou! into the contest of 1890, from which he emerged one of the most powerful men iu the nation's politics. When it was known that McKinley's cause was entrusted solely to his guidance there were many doubts as to the wisdom of the selection of a linn so new to the national field of action. But the solution of thost doubts by h s tireless energy placed him at the head of party affairs. It is true that he nsed the prominence thus gained for his own benefit later on; but it is a salient point of his career that what brought hiui iuto politics was not ambition for himself, but ambition for his friend.
