When tho Republican party pledged Itaolf
to do all It could for the promotion of Inter
nal. u'ml bimetallism, it meant what It said,
and will not miss any m. p,.riuulty in that
respect.

Thb arbitration treaty lietwcuti the United
States and Great Dritaln is hanging lire O r
some reason, hut as It relates only to futwiu
eoutrorersies, the delay is a matter of no
particular importance.
Whkn Senator Sherman says that "Con
gress is perfectly competent to deal with the
tariff" he may be right as to the next one,
bat certainly the present one has not done
anything to justify such an assertion.
The mineral output of Colorado in 1WB
was greater than in any previous year, which
shows that the talk about the destruction of
the mining Industry by unfriendly legisla
tion is not true as tu that State, ut any rate.
Thb decision of Judge Myers, of Kansas,
that the alien land law of that State does
not apply to the right of nay of railroad
corporations will probably put an end to the
Popullstic scheme to wreck one of tlie
priucipal railroads out there. This is an ad
ditional Indication that Kansas is coming to
her senses, and gotting ready to win back tho
creditable reputation of her former days.
It lias remained for Gen. lloraco Porter to
place on record one of Grant's best expres
sions. When Gen. Hancock made his assault
at Spottsylvania and captured a Confederate
division Rurnsido reported that his right had
lost its connection with Hancock's corps,
Grant replied in a note : "Push tho enemy
with all your might j that's tho way to con
nect."
It is said that Spain has sent nearly
200,000 soldiers to Cuba since the insurrection
began. Probably the insurgents at no time
in the war ever numbered a fifth or a sixth
of the enemies who confronted them.
Whether the defect in the Spanish military
character is tho stupidity of its ollicers or the
cowardice of itfl rank and file is hard to
ascertain definitely. Perhaps there is a good
deal of both. At any rate, it would be hard
to find in all history an instance in which an
army as dominant in numbers and equipment
as Weyier's is did as little work whicl
"counted" as that army has done in the past
tn el ve months.
At tho recent election Minnesota adopted a
constitutional amendmcntto tho effect that
no alien ahull hereafter exercise tho right of
suffrage until lie shall have been fully na
turalized ; and Texas decided that hereafter
no person of foreign birth shall voto in that
itate unless ho shall have been a resident for
one year, mid declared Ills intoution to be
come a citizen six months before the election
This sounds odd to Pennsylvaulans as the
law here is that a man is not a citizen, a nil
therefore not outitled to tho frauchiso unti
he has his full naturalization papers.
We are so constantly adding to tho numbei
of stars on our national flag that it has be
come a matter of inquiry what becomes of
the old flags when they are superseded by
the new. Already the azure field of tho stai
is crowded to teplotion, rendering it im
possible to add any more, without making
the flag ridiculous. Ilut the order for the
addition of the stars is imperative. They
must go on, even though at the cost of a
complete new set of standards. Now when
the number of flags bclongiug to the Govern
ment is considered, the cost foi tho new out
fit must be very large. Hut there is no es
cape from It. Privato owners of flags need
not comply with the order, but all Govern
ment flags will have to be changed, and it is
more than probable that in a year or two
other states will be admitted and changes in
the flags ordered.
Some of our newspaper growlers made a
great fuss because tho United States built up
a new navy. They said we didn't need a
navy. Time has demonstrated its use. How
could we guard the Cuban coast and shut off
all help from the men of that isUnd who are
fighting for liberty, if we did not have a
navy? The President is now sending enough
of our ships to the gulf to effectually shut off'
relief from Cuba. When the Cubans shall
have been subdued, and tho leaders shall
have been shot, and peace shall reign over
th bloody solitudes which once were popu
lous with men and women who loved liberty,
and were as much entitled to it as the Amer
ican rebels of the revolution, the star
spangled banner will be entwined with th
flag of Spall) to festoon the triumphal arches
erected in honor of Weyler, the butchor.
The statistics of new railroad equipment
built in this country iu 1690 show that we
have built more locomotives than in 1895
and very many more cars. Carrying com
parisons back two years, the increase both in
locomotive output and in car building are
very great. The figures presented by the
Kailroad Gazette show that we built this
year 480 locomotives more than in 1891 and
74 more thati last year. The actual number
of engines built in 1896 was 1,175, and in
1895 1,101 eugines. An interesting feature
brought out in this summary is the growing
importance of export orders. In 1890 309
engines were built in this country to exiwrt
to foreign countries, the engines going chiefly
to South America, but also to a coasiderable
extent to Iluasia, Japan and South Africa.
In 1801 only 90 engines were built for export,
and iu 1895 that number was exceeded, the
number built in 1891 having beeu unusually
small ; but still the growth reported Iu 1898
is of especial interest. Locomotive builders
in this country at present have orslers on
their books for 70 engines for Japan, where
most of the engines are of Kuglish make.
Thkbe is no more conclusively estab
lished fact than that the lumber supply
or the United States is rapidly decreasing.
This is indicated wherever forests that pro
duce lumber suitable for sbippiug are to be
fontvl; nnc where there Bfi facilities for
getting it tu 'hipping points 'I'b 11 Pacific

Electric Hitters is a medicine suited for any

tho spring, when tho languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid nnd
sluggish and tho need of a tonic and altera

has often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fovors. No medicine will act moio
surely in counteracting and freeing tho sys

FREE CUREJ0R MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send Ills Dls-
Man Offers to
covory Free.
Claims to Be
a Bonofaetor
Mankind.
to Weakened
There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that Is offered free but
sometimes a man so overllows with generosity
1 that he cannot rest until his discovery is
known to the world, In order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered.
It is upon this principal that a resident oi
Kalnmuroo, Mich., desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will cure thorn
1 of any form of nervous debility ; relievos
them of all the doubt and uncertainty which
mil meu are peculiarly liable to and restore
the organs to natural siso and vigor. As it
costs nothing to try the experiment It would
kcem that any man, suffering with the
nervous trouldei that usually atUck men
who never stopped to realize what might be
the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in a temedy which will restore them to
health, strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery. As tho remedy in question was tho
result of many years research as to what

Oao thing is certain : It will not do to
fool with a bad cold. No ono can tell what
the cud will bo. Pneumonia, catarrh, chronic
bronchitis, if not consumption, invariably
result from a ucglocted cold, ft is surprising
too, that bad colds arc so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and at what
littlo cxpenso they may bo cured. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is always prompt
and effectual, and costs hut a trifle; 5 or 50
cents is a triilo as compared with tlio disas
trous effects of a neglected cold. Mr. Abnor
Mercer, of Dilwortbtown, Chester County,
I'a., iu speaking of this remedy, said : "Some
time ago I had a bad cold and cough, I
tried almost everything. Finally Mr. Iluut,
the d'-uggist, recommended Cuninberlain'F

Canada's Antl-Annexntlonlsts.
Toho.nto, Jan. 7. Tho political ornnn
lzatlon styling Itself tho "Patriotic Vi-r-llanro
Committee" has distributed
throughout Canada a circular charging
that "an insidious conspiracy has for
sovoral months boon nt work throughout
tho Dominion aiming at tho ovorthrow of
tho authority of our gracious sovereign,
tho queen and ompross, nnd the annexa
tion of our bolovod country to tho United
States. Behind what is ostensibly a po
litical movomont Is plainly to bo seen tho
hand of tho Homnn Catholic ohurch, tho
ovor wutchful onomy of Protestant lib-
orty." In conclusion tho clroulur advises
organizing to report tho notions of thoso
suspected of annexation tendencies.
Absu'uitely puie, perfectly haimless, and
Invariably reliable are the qualities of One
Minute Cuigh Cure. It never fills in colds,
croup and lung troubles. Children liko it be

Tour to Florida.
No district in America prosents, during the
Wiutert.easou, so luauy varied attractions as
the Statu of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
and uuhcalthful changes of the North seems
almost ethcical, It is pre eminently a land of
Hun t and pleasure. Along its eleven hundred
miles of salt-water coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes aro fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra
tory tribes common tn Noitbcrn waters to the
tarpon, ponipano, und others of a more
tropical character. Nmvhere in all our broad
Und can the angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also tho most enthusiastic hunter
finds satiety. Deer, turkuys, bcirn, pauthcr,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may bo found in abundance through
out tho Statu. The more novel sport of al
ligator and mauateo hunting may also be in
dulged in by the luoio adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
gruves, its ihcisnud lakes, its heating and
bathing, its Hailing and hunting, and its
cxtensho forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, tho lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.
To this attractive stato the I'enusyhanla
Iiallrond Company has arranged four per
sonally-conducted tours during the season of
1897, leaving by special train January 20,
February 0 and 23. and March 0. Tlio first
three tours will admit of a sojourn of two
weeks in this delightli. I laiul; tickets lor the
fourth tour will be valid to leturu until May

Itetlttceil Kates to Washington on Account
of the Inauguration via Pennsyl
vania Hallroad.
For the benefit of those who doslro to at
tend the ceremonies incident to the inaugura
tion of President-eloct McKinloy, tho Penn
sylvania Railroad Company will sell excur
sion tickets to Washington March 1, 2, 3, and
4, valid to return from March 4 to 8, at the
following rates: From Pottsville, (7.25;
Reading, $7.20 ; Birdsboro, (0.85 ; Pottstown,
(0.85; Norristown, (0.15; Philadelphia,
(5.10, and from all other stations on the
Pennsylvania system at reduced rates.
This inauguration will be a most interest
ing event, and will undoubtedly attract a
largo number of people from every section of
the country.
Tho magnificent faculties of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad make this line the favorite
route to tho national capital at all times, and
its enormous equipment and splendid term
inal advantages at Washington make it
ospocially popular on such, occasions.
Tho old way of delivering messages by post
boys compared with the modern telephone,
illustrates the old tedious methods of "break
