T : : YOW CAN W)t RBACH BHADRR8 OP TUB HHIIAT,!) - TIIROOSH ANY OTI18R DAILY PUBLICATION SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1899. OUR COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever. Qks. Funston predicted tlmt the Philippine rebellion would be ended by the 1st of February, but he seems to have given it entirely too much margin. Not since tho Crimean war, with its bulletins of agonies of siege and slaughter, has the English heart been so wrung with poignant griefs as now. An unparalleled series of reverses, of success with nil the olrcmustances of reverse, have made the English cam paign in South Africa a chapter of horrors to English homes and social circles. Thousands of dollars were put Into circulation In this vicinity to day by the payment of the employe's of the numerous coal compauies in and about Shenandoah. This will mean big business for our merchants to-night and next week, and the mer chant who has made use of the news paper columns will get the cream of the business. Doesn't it appear unreasonable, to say the least, for people drawing salaries from the taxpayers of the town, as soon as they receive their stipend to make a brake for the county seat and there make their holiday purchases. And yet that is just what some Shenandoah people think the proper thing to do. Hkrk is the way the Tamaqua Re corder expresses itself as to the pro tection the people of Shenandoah are receiving: "Shenandoah is talking about getting bloodhounds to aid the police in running down burglars. Maybe if the bloodhounds were used in running the police down after 12 o'clock the real burglars would be found." The insinuations of our con temporary are uncalled for. Thk City of Auburn was recently sued by a Mrs. Margaret Hughes for damages for the death of her daugh ter, who died in May, 1883. She claimed that this daughter's illness and death resulted from disease caused by a defective and insufficient newer, which In times of heavy rain overflowed into the cellar of the house where she resided. Judge O'Brien held that the statue which permits aetion for damages by reason of death caused by the wrongful act. neglect or default of another, has no application in such a case, and that no action against a municipality can be maintained by an individual for damages from sickness auueed by the neglect of public officers to observe sanitary laws. TlIK free trade Philadelphia Rec ord, one of the leading Democratic papers of the state, says : "One hun dred and fifty thousand cotton mill operatives in the New England States have been conceded a 10 per cent, ad vance in wages. Some of the South ern mills have made a similar ad vance. Nothing will contribute so widely to Christinas happiness this year as this most timely addition to the daily wage. It Is a pity that in times of such general prosperity there should be any necessity for resort to strikes in order to enforce a more prop er division of the products of labor." This, coming as It does from such a paper, 1s the strongest evidence in the world that the present adminis tration should be retained in power indefinitely ; and we, therefore, would suggest that the Hon. William Mo Kinley's nomination, next year, be made unanimous, and that the Demo cratic party make the motion. Stomach Out of Order? C&n't Eat seep or wrk 1 TDMACHTA3L EIS!

Allen, appointed senator from this state, can be seated. The contention of some Is that Hnywnrd never having taken his seat the whole matter Is in tho same position as in a state where the legislature failed to elect. The question is said to have occasioned Hayward considerable worry before his death. Several lawyers were of the opinion that, the legislature having made an election, tho failure of tho person elected to qualify would not deprive the state of right of representa tion. Others of equal prominence were In doubt about It. Shipping Ciolil tn Europe. New York, Dec. 16. Wall street re ceived with little surprise yesterday announcements of gold shipments to Europe.
