FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 23. 1899. I
Mr. Adams' Withdrawal.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Fortunately for the reputation for
honor and integrity of the judiciary ol !
the commonwealth, the people of Penn
sylvania are to bo spared the shame and
reproach that would have attended the
election to the superior court bench of
a man who had been accused of illegal
practices. The discredited machine
candidate for judge of that court has
been constrained to withdraw from the !
state ticket, on the ground that voters I
would be influenced adversely to the j
party's success if he should remain .
thereon. It is a true and sufficient
reason. Our judges, at least, must be j
pure and unassailable.
What the public are most deeply in- !
torested in, now that the candidacy of ;
Mr. Adams has been brought to an end j
—through fear, no doubt, of a popular j
revolt in the state —is the revelation
thus made of the utter unscrupulousness
of the machino managers. All unfit for i
a judgeship as he was. Mr. Adams made j
no secret of his apprehensions that the
outcome of his candidacy would be dis
astrous.
The Republican managers laughed
his fear to scorn, and placed him on the
ticket in pursuance of a factional deal
in which the strongest and most active
workers of the party were concerned.
It is by such methods of selection, rath
er than by the supreme test of fitness,
that Republican nominations here in |
Pennsylvania, where that party holds
undisputed sway, are bestowed at this
time. llow can the plain people trust '
such a rotten agency of political chi
cane and public demoralization.
The low ebb of official morality, the
sordid selfishness of partisan power and
the hopeless confusion of public service
with private advantage which this dis
graceful episode in state political his
tory denotes should sink deeply into the
popular conscience. There is no depth
of depravity in public affairs which the
machino managers of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania would hesitate
to sound. llow long shall they be per
mitted to make a mockery of good gov
ernment!
Governor Stone in a recent interview
with a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter,
said: "In Pennsylvania the Democrats
are talking about the money in the
treasury. The truth is, there is not
enough there to quarrel about. I do
not know how much is on deposit now.
but there would not he a cent, but a
deficit of 03,000,000, if the state's debts
were paid." Wheu Governor Pattison
left the chair five years ago there was a
balance of 80,000,000 in the treasury.
Now, according to Stone, that is all
gone with a deficiency of 83,000,000.
Iso wonder that the machine doesn't
want to hear anything of state issues.
It Isn't strange that Republican moot
ings all over the state are as frosty as
a night in Iceland. liecder, who was
kicked out of Hastings' cabinet for ras
cality, is at the head of the organixa- j
tion. Honest Republicans are disgust
ed and they show it. The Philadelphia
North American , a Republican paper, in
speaking of Reeder, says: "He is a
lawyer without practice, a citizen with
out standing, a politician without a fol
lowing, a characterless, penniless pen
sioner upon the machine in reward for
past services, which a person only of
Reeder's sort could have brought him
self to render."
Charles J. Reilly, Esq., the Democrat
ic candidate for the superior court, Is
socially one of the most popular gentle
men In central Pennsylvania. Profes
sionally ho is an able, careful and
upright attorney. It is safe to say that
Mr. Rielly will poll a large proportion
of tho Republican attorneys of the
state.
Tho attempt to get the soldiers out to
boom Harnett has proved a fiat failure.
A few of his men have been hired at
85 a day and expenses to hippodrome
the state, but there is no disguising the
fact that he is very unpopular with his
men and he knows it.
QUAY'S GOVERNOR STRIKES A BLOW AT
THE SCHOOLS.
1 1
The Public Schools Crippled to Spare the Corpora
tions From Additional Tax.
Governor Stone, the Brawling Friend of the "Little Red School
House" Before Election, Their Enemy After Election.
Governor Stone Before Election, j
Extract from a speech made at
Smethport. McKean county, Oct. 19,
1898, at which were present the mem
bers of the County Teachers' Institute. !
which was in session in the town:
"The Republican party is one of
education, and it has done more j
to make the common schools of
Pennsylvania a success than any
other political organization in the
United States. A product of the
common schools myself, if elected ;
governor I shall do my part to
maintain and protect them."
Governor Stone After Election.
"I withhold my approval from .
$500,000 annually, making $1,000,-
000 for the TWO SCHOOL YEARS I
beginning June 1, 1899."—Stone's
$1,000,000 veto message.
The Common Schools of Pennsylvania.
The common schools are the glory of
Pennsylvania, and have served as a
model for the systems of other states, j
Thaddeus Stevens, the great common
er, was their main founder, and it re
mained for William A. Stone, the first
governor that Boss Quay ever had the
distinction of owning outright, to
strike them a blow. He set the state
aflame with indignation by his act. It
rang from Lake Erie to the Delaware—
from the northern tier to the southern
border —with protests; and no gover
nor was ever before guilty of so un- I
patriotic, un-American and needless an
executive deed.
Governor Stone was master of the
situation, and could have compelled the
Republican state senate, under pain of
vetoing the pet measures of the ma
chine senatorial ring, to provide addi
tional revenue, if necessary, to meet
all demands on the treasury.
For years the Quay machine, by its 1
delay in paying out the school funds,
has embarrassed school districts all
over the state, it being notorious that j
the money was kept back and held on i
deposit in the political banks that j
Quay and his henchmen might pocket 1
the interest or use it in politics and
stock speculations.
School authorities have been com- I
pelled to borrow money to meet obli- |
gations, while in many of the cities of
the state there exists a lack of school
accommodations. The schools are over
crowded, while children, barred from
them, are neglected. The teachers are
underpaid and justly complain that
they have been compelled to wait a
long time for their pittance.
This blow that Governor Stone has !
aimed at the schools vitally concerns
every school teacher, school trustee
and school director in the state. And
ugain, if the governor can shave off
one million dollars from the appropria
tion in 1899, what is to prevent him
from lopping off two millions in 1901?
The excuse that the governor gave
for his alleged veto of part of the
school appropriation was merely a pre
text. The real reason for this out
rageous act on the part of the execu
tive was not given and dare not be
given or commented upon by the unpa- 1
triotic governor of Pennsylvania. It
has long been a political secret that j
Senator Quay intended to attack the ;
school appropriation, as he never ap
proved of the increases leading up to
the five millions.
To the people of the state his art
means higher local taxes, a reduction
of teachers' salaries, fewer schools and
a lowering of the high standard which
has made the schools of Pennsylvania
famous. He has struck at the very
principle to which the people of Penn
sylvania owe their greatness as a*
state. He has given the lie to the
proud boast that the Republican party
is the guardian of the "Little Red
School House."
While Governor Stone vetoed a mil
lion dollars of the school appropria
tion. he cheerfully signed the large ap
propriation for military purposes, and
indicated in advance that the already
large sum should be increased. This
shows that he believes more in train
ing men to kill their fellows than he
does in training our children that they
may grow up without murder in their
hearts.
WHAT REPUBLICAN PAPERS SAY.
IL is a common saying that a man is
bound by his own witness. Let us see
what some prominent Republican wit
nesses have to say of the Quay ticket
and the manner in which It was se
lected.
If any Democrats outside of Phila
delphia are apprehensive that the me
tropolis may give a Republican plural
ity to overcome the sweep of the rest |
of the state by Farmer Creasy and his !
colleagues on the Democratic ticket. .
let them take courage from the most I
extraordinary revolt ever witnessed in
the Philadelphia newspapers against i
machine misrule. While the Demo- !
cratic newspapers are doing splendid
service for the ticket, the following re
markably severe comments upon the
work of Quay's convention are extract
ed from editorials in Republican and
independent Republican newspapers of i
the great city:
ONLY ONE SATISFACTORY NAME, j
"We regret that the work of strength
ening the ticket by nominating men
who would poll the the full party vote
should have stopped with the nomina
tion of Mr. Brown. Mr. Barnett brings
with him a certain nebulous military
halo from the Philippines, which it is
hoped may distract attention from his I
political record as an extreme faction- j
ist and chronic opponent of regular
Republican nominations. Precedent
and propriety alike dictate that Mr.
Dimner Beeber, now serving accepta
bly on the superior bench by appoint
ment. should be nominated as bis own
successor. He is a man of rare judi
cial qualities, and there was no reason
why he should be superseded, except
to give place to Mr. Adams." —Phi la.
Press. Rep.
SHARP COMMENT ON CANDIDATES.
DATES.
"It is not as a candidate for a mili
tary commission that Colonel Barnett
is now before the people. It is to be
regretted that the orators who placed
his name before the Harrisburg con
vention did not keep that fact in mind.
In their speeches they made much of
his soldierly achievements, which was '
right, but they abstained altogether j
from touching upon his qualifications
for the office of state treasurer, which
was an equally strange and unfortu
nate oversight. And the platform on
which he stands is likewise without a
word of apology for the laches and
crimes of past treasurers, or promise
of more faithful performance of duty
in the future. The platform pledges
Colonel Barnett to nothing, if elected.
"Eminent soldiers have often been
failures in office. The qualities need
ed to win distinction in war are not
identical with those required of the
civil servant.
"Colonel Barnett must hasten to re
pair (he omissions of the platform and
of his speechmaking sponsors at the
convention. His Democratic opponent.
William T. Creasy, is making a can
vass which appeals to the good sense
of the community. That is to say, he
recognizes that as a candidate for state
treasurer he should devote himself to
convincing the public that he is famil
iar with the functions of the office,
and that he Is fitted in capacity and
character to discharge them. He takes
it for granted that the people of Penn
sylvania are intelligent enough to un
derstand that it is of more importance ;
to them that their treasurer should be ;
capable and upright, than that he j
should be either a Republican or a i
Democrat —that the holder of this state
office has no influence whatever in de
termining the nation's policy as to the
tariff, the basis of the currency, or ex
pansion of the republic's boundaries.
He assumes that the question of the
| treasurer's personal honesty is of im
measurably greater practical moment
| than his ability to deliver a glowing
I harangue in favor of honest money.
| "Farmer Creasy is a plain man with
an unusual gift for plain speech. He
j knows all about the history of the
state treasury. He is a citizen of estab-
I lished reputation, about whose integ
rity and courage to do what is right no
; body has any doubt.
Colonel Barnett, if he is wise, will
realize that he must meet Farmer
Creasy on his own ground—that he
must go before the people and ask
election to the state treasurership, not
as a soldier nor as a believer in protec
tion and the gold standard, but as a
man the equal in honesty and trust
worthiness of Farmer Creasy. If he
shall fail to do that and rely on the
magic of his uniform and the pres
tige of the Republican national admin
istration to pull him through, he will
be wanting in candor and in percep
lion of the real need of the situation."
—Phila. North American, Rep.
QUAYS PERSONAL CHOOSING.
"When the curtain was raised on the
convention it was perceived how deftly
the stage, the center of which was oc
cupied by Manager Quay, had been set,
The actors were his puppets, and
moved only when and as he pulled the
strings. The candidates were of his
personal choosing; the platform was of
his own making; the delegates were
present not as representatives of the
will and power of the people of the
commonwealth, but as the representa
tives of the political fortunes of the
ex-senator. The convention was his
convention; it was controlled by him
without contention or protest; it made
no decrees, no nominations of its own
initiative, and it originated no declara
tions of principles —it affirmed those of
Mr. Quay. The convention merely exe
cuted his decrees, ratified his nomina
tions and proclaimed his policies."—
Philadelphia Ledger, Ind. Rep.
TRADEMARK OF THE MACHINE.
"The Republican state convention at
Harrisburg has plainly demonstrated
the mastery of Matthew S. Quay over
the party organization in Pennsylva
nia. The proceedings, the platform
and the ticket all bear the trademark
of the machine. Mr. Quay and his fol
lowers were easily in command of the
situation at every point, and the con
vention, for the most part, was little
more than a ratification of the pro
gram which had been mapped out for
it by the little coterie of bosses long
ago in their Sabbath musings by the
sad sea waves." —Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, Rep.
QUAY RIDES ROUGH-SHOD.
"The convention went the whole fig
ure. so to speak, commending the gov
ernor's action in lopping a million dol
lars off the school appropriation, and
likewise his action in appointing to
the existing vacancy the senior sena
tor. Some ingenuous persons may
have thought that Mr. Quay would not
press his advantage so far, that he was
in a conciliatory mood, and would
make some tangible "concessions" to
the insurgent element of the party, in
the hope of keeping the independent
voters in line for the ticket at the No
vember elections. Whenever he has
had the power to work his will he has
exercised it to the fullest extent in a
dull, brutal way, regardless of ultimate
consequences. Experience has taught
him that there is little danger in this
course, and that so far it has not
brought him to material grief. So he
has gone on, from year to year, shak
ing the plum tree and trafficking in the
spoils of office, giving no thought to
and displaying no fear of a possible
collapse of the political structure which
he has reared. The old man had de
creed that he and his henchmen in
the executive mansion should be en
dorsed, and endorsed they were, and
that was the end of it, as far as the
convention was concerned. As time
passes during the next ten weeks, it
will be seen whether or not it was the
end of it as far as the voters are con
cerned."—Philadelphia Evening Tele
graph.
THE MACHINE AND THE TRUSTS.
"The fact that the Harrisburg con
vention's platform contains no anti
trust plank is bringing from sundry
quarters condemnation upon its fram
ers. But really they do not deserve
blame. Men do not willingly subject
themselves to ridicule, nor do they
practice hypocrisy for mere love of
false pretense.
"Had the Republican machine of
Pennsylvania declared against the
trusts it> would have found nobody to
believe in its sincerity, and provoked
scornful laughter. To ask the machine
to denounce trusts is equivalent to in
viting children to pass resolutions
against their parents.
"Were it not for the trusts, for cor
porations which spend money freely to
retain thieving privileges and to es
cape the payment of their fair share of
taxes, the machine would not exist.
"If the Republican organization that
held the convention at Harrisburg had
condemned the Standard Oil company,
for instance, and pronounced against
the criminal conspiracy which is main
tained by that and other monopolies,
it would have drawn the sword against
the authors of its being and been guilty
of at least appearing to wish to com
mit the unnatural crimes of parricide
and matricide.
"The silence of the machine's con
vention on the subject of trusts was a
decent manifestation of respect for the
intelligence of the people of Pennsyl
.vania." —Phila. North American.
CHALLENGE TO ANTI-QUAY RE
PUBLICANS.
The Philadelphia Pross, which prob
ably speaks with a more authentic
voice for the McKinley administration
than any other journal in the country,
says of the Quay convention:
'The prominence given to national
issues to the exclusion of state ques
tions in the formal speeches and the
platform of yesterday's Harrisburg
convention would greatly puzzle a for
eigner studying for the first time
American political institutions. He
would understand it better when he
learned that in the national field the
record of the Republican party is a
great and glorious one, in which all
its members, and, indeed, all citizens,
can take a just pride, while in this
state an unprincipled close corporation
known as the machine has taken con
trol of it and uses it so far as it dare
I and can for its own selfish purposes.
"Senator Penrose was on safe ground
in eulogizing at tedious length the good
work of the national Republican party.
Most of the platform rides at anchor
in the same haven of refuge. The en
dorsement of Governor Stone's admin
istration was, of course, to be expected
from a convention constituted and con
trolled as this one was, but very many
I Republicans will not second that en
dorsement. The expression of grati
tude to Mr. Quay and the approval of
the governor's action in appointing
him to the senate is a direct challenge
I to all the Republicans who are op-
I posed to Mr. Quay and think that his
j appointment under the circumstances
| was indecent and improper. This
plank in the platform will be remem
| bered when the rest is forgotten, and
will cost the ticket many votes. Per
haps nothing less could be expected
from a Quay convention, and the Re
publican plurality, though a minority
of the whole vote, is still very large
and invites undue confidence."
STORY OF MOCHA COFFEE
500 Years Ago Arabs and Indium
Were Taught to Make the Drink.
Mocha is not alone the name of a
kind of coffee, but also a port (Ye
men) on the lted Sen. The patron
saint of both was Sehelle Schoedeli,
whose memory Is venerated by the
Mahometans almost as much as that
of Mahomet himself.
tine day, 500 years ago, a vessel
from the Indies cast anchor in the
port. Those on board had noticed a
hut, and they disembarked to see what
it was.
The sheik (for it was his dwelling)
received the strangers kindly and gave
them some coffee to drink, for he was
very fond of it and attributed great
virtue to It.
The travelers, who had never seen
coffee before, thought that this ,liot
drink would be n cure for the plague.
Schoedeli assured them that through
his prayers and the use of this drink
thut not only would the plague ho
stopped, but also that if they would
unload their merchandise they could
make a good profit h.v It.
The owner of the ship was impressed
by this strange man, especially as he
found the coffee so palatable. On the
same day a large number of Arabs
came to listen to the hermit's preach
ing and among them were some mer
chants who purchased all the goods on
the ship.
The Indian visitor returned home,
and telling his strange adventure and
profitable trading, many of bis com
patriots came to visit the saintly
Schoedeli.
A beautiful mosque was lmilt over
the tomb of Schoedeli after his death,
and his name will never be forgotten
so long as Mocha coffee is drunk. All
of the Moslem coffeehouse keepers ven
erate him, mentioning his name in
their morutug devotions. Travelers
say that in the town of Mocha or Delia
as the Arabs call it, men take their
oath, not by God, but by the memory
of Schoedeli.
Karth and Its Axis
Nino persons out of ten—yes, !)!)!) out
of every 1,000 if asked liow long it
takes the earth to turn once oil its axis
would answer twenty-four hours, and
to the question: "How many times
ddee It turn on Its axis in the course
of a year?" the answer would lie: 3(15'4
times. Both answers are wrong. It
requires but twenty-three hours and
fifty-six minutes for the enrth to make
one complete turn, aild it makes 360%
turns during the year. The error
springs from a wrong idea of what is
meant by a day. The day is not. as is
commonly supposed, the time required
by the earth to make one turn ou its
axis, hut the Interval between two
successive passages of the sun across
the merldan—that is to say, the time
which elapses after the sun Is seen
exactly south of its diurnal course
through the heavens before it it Is
seen agaiu in that position. Now, in
consequence of the earth's revolution
In Its orbit, or path around the sun,
the sun has the appearance of moving
very slowly in the heavens In a direc
tion from cast to west. At noon to
morrow the sun will be a short dis
tance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which It is seen at noon
to-day, so that when the earth has
made one complete turn, il will still
have to turn four minutes longer be
fore the suu can again be seen exactly
south.
Moose and Caribou Cemeteries.
Forest and Stream contains the fol
lowing contribution from a Quebec cor
respondent concerning the habit moose
and caribou have of going to the same
place, season after season, to shed
their antlers.
"The idea of the animals seeking a
definite place for this purpose was
quite new to me, but lately the effi
cient Superintendent of Game and
Fisheries at Quebec, L. Z. Joncas, Esq.,
has told me that the.v do frequent such
places. and that this habit was quite
well known to him. He knew of many
and mentioned several places where
horns could almost certainly be found
at any time. And not only do they go
to shed their horns, hut they go there
to dte. These places are known as
cemeteries, and whole skeletons are
occasionally found. This, however,
would he rare, as the hones would us
ually he torn apart and scattered by
bears and other carnivorae.
"Mr. Joucas instanced the case of a
gentleman going to a certain region for
geological exploration, who asked for
a permit to shoot a moose out of sea
son in order to get a good pair of ant
lers. He was told that by diverging a
little from his route he might reach a
place where he would find plenty of
them. He did so and secured five ex
cellent specimens."
Tlie Smallest Scc<l Known
The Book says that a grain of mus
tard is the smallest of all seeds, hut it
must have been a kind of mustard
thai we know not of, because we know
of many kinds of seeds very much
smaller, as tobacco, poppy and
others. We have some seeds in tills
office so small tliat one ounce of them
would furnish a plant for every square
Inch of land on the North American
continent. The capsule that contains
the seeds Is about the size of a tobacco
seed and contains more than 100,000
seeds. And yet the plant grows six
feet tall, with leaves 3 feet by 0 Inches
In expanse.—The Lumpkin (tia.). Inde

A New Invention
A new invention of great importance
lias just been patented by a German
chemist, Julius Norden, of Aldenlioven.
Germany. He lias succeeded iu hard
ening alcohol until it lias become a
solid mass. This will Insure a very
much greater popularity for the em
ployment of alcohol. II now comes in
small boxes anil can be used for cook
ing. lighting, heating and the various
uses of everyday life. The solidified
alcohol burns without a wick, can he
blown out after use and then hardens
again within a minute. The danger of
exploding Is absolutely done mviiv
with.
