Democrats ns Reformers.
During the political campaign in
this county just closed, resulting in a
Democratic victory, there was much
said about reform in tho administra
tion of the almshouse at Schuylkill
Haven. Chairman Moyer Hooded the
comity with circulars, with llaming
headlines, detailing alleged extrava-fw.wiu-Ui,
Wio county poor district and
pledging n reform in this respect in
the event of Democratic success at
the polls. The same pledge was made
by tho party speakers, who laid much
stress upon this phase of tho contest.
Tho political complexion of the
Hoard of Poor Directors, after Janu
ary 1st, will be Democratic, and the
opportunity will thus bo presented to
institute the reforms Chairman Moyer
and his spell-binders pledged tho
people would be inaugurated. Will
iam i. Sheafer, the executive head of
the Taxpayers' Association, a non
political organization, has addressed
an open letter to tho Poor Directors,
giving the annual cost of the poor
district for some years back, and
pointing out wherein, in the estima
tion of the Association, salaries can
be reduced and useless positions
abolished without impairing the etll
ciency of the pour huuse or doing in
Jiistfcofo the unfortunate inmates.
The communication of the Tax
payers' Association is certainly
worthy of consideration by tho re
formers about to assume the position
of Director of the Poor. As wo have
previously stated, it presents an op
portunity for them to correct the use
less expenditure of tile dear people's
money they so loudly proclainu-d
during the campaign was allowed
under Republican administration.
However, it will be interesting to see
these Democratic Directors, with blue
pencil 111 hand, cutting down salaries
and lopping otf "useless positions,"
in view of the fact that so many of
their partisans are clamoring for tho
ilesh pots.
When the piesent UHpuhlican board
was organized, a littleovera year ago,
Director Walhorn was the minority
member He rushed into print with
many refoi m uiHiisures. He insisted
that ihe lie adopted, and when not
ncc. .ted by his c(dleugues Mr. Will-1
born posed before the people us a re
former without friends" The gen
tleman Is now a majority member,
and with the assistance of his col
league, Director-elect Horgan, will
have an opportunity to put into
practice his professed reform ideas,
provided the subject matter has not
(lipped his memory. Some men are
earnest reformers when they have no
sii) in the dispensation of patronage,
and it is to bo seen whether or not
Director Walhorn was honest in his
professions of reform one year ago.
The Taxpajers' Association has
pointed out the way for retrench
ment at the almshouse in the abolish
ment of a number of tho present ap
pointments, and a reduction in tho
salaries of others. The Poor Dlrec
tors alone can currv out these reform
measures. Cornelius A. Moyer, of
Schuylkill Haven, is a candidate for
clerk at the almshouse, and offers to
perform ull the duties of t'tio position
ata saving to tho county of from 1,
200 to $1,500 per year in salaries. Mr.
Moyer held the position acceptably
under a former administration, and
besides his regular duties looked
after the Interests of the taxpayers in
other directions. "Wilt these reform
Directors appoint him and save the
taxpayers the amount stated 1

Paris, Ilee. 12. The work of the pence
commission was concluded on Saturday
evenltiB. wlw-n the treaty was signed by
both the Spanish and American com
missioners. The treaty consists of 17
articles, It having been found advisable
to subdivide two or three of the articles
In the draft formerly agreed upon.
The United Slntes peace commission
ers rested yesterday nfter the long
strain of dally conferences and almost
dally sessions with the Spaniards, the
Intensity of which was hnrdly realized
until it was overcome. Warm personal
friendships anil mutual relations have
arisen between the two commissions
ns the roFUlt of their extended con
troversy at close quurters. Yesterday
severnl members of both commissions
exchanged nails. Tho American com
missioners unolllclally Informed the
Spaniards that they would be glad to
have the two commissions dine to
gether. The reply, which, like the In
vitation, was conveyed diplomatically
throUKh a third party, was that the
Spaniards would be most pleased, but
feared it would be Inndvlsable, because
It might be misconstrued at Madrid,
where already much feelliiK exlste.l
ngnlnBt the Spanish commissioners.
Several membets of the United States
commission were Inclined at first to
publish the text of the treaty, but Sen
ator Frye mnde a strong plea for tho
observance of courtesy toward the
United States senate, and his argu
ments prevailed.
Further details, however, have been
learned as to the wording of the treaty,
which provides that Cuba is to be re-
1 nqulshod and that Porto Hlco and the
rhllipplnes nie to bo ceded. The Amer
icans are to pay for the repatriation
of the Spanish troops from nil the col
onies. The Spaniards are to return all
prisoners held by them. They are to
retain possession of all military stores
and munitions of war In the Philippines
and of such ships as have not been
captured.
Tho commercial trentles between tho
two nations which the wnr ruptured
are to be renewed at the convenience
of the. two nations.
The protocol makes nearly COO type
written pages.
The Spanish memorandum protests
agninrt the refusal of the Americans
to sui render the securities deposited
In the treasuries of Cuba and Porto
Hlco by private Spaniards, remarking
that "never has a civilized nation com
mitted such an act of violence."
Secondly, It protests anjntnst the ul
timatum demanding the rhllipplnes.
Thirdly, It protests against the po
sition In which those Spaniards are
plncod who desire to remain In Cuba.
Fourthly. It protests against the ref
erence to the destruction of the Mnln5
In President McKlnley's message to the
United States congreix. On this point
the memorandum says:
"Spain has proposed arbitration, but
the United States refuses to give her
the right which Is granted to a crim
Innl, namely, the right of defending
hlinFelf. The Spanish commissioners
leave the care of fixing the responsi

Yes, but 11 A by any "blood medtcfue.' No Ca
