So Pi VOL V 3IILF01U), PIKE COUNTY; PA., FRIDAY. JUNE 22, 11)00. NO, 32. Con niy THE WASHINGTON LETTER. (Kinni Oiir-Ri'itHlnr Cm n'-pnii'li'iit ) WashinoTON. IV C. .TUNK 18, 19C0. President McKinley linn devoted fl oonsidorablo portion of his office hours for the lust two or three days to receiving' delegates to tho Phila delphia Convention, who stopped over in Wnshiimtonto pny their re spects to the President, nnd inciden tally to talk a little polities nnd give him the itios. Mr. McKinley never appears to hotter advantage thnn when in contact with tho rank and file of the party. Other Presi dents have hnd a knack of appear ing to consult, hnmhlo meinhers of their party, but Mr. McKinloy real ly does consult them nnd ask their advice npon matters of party policy, nnd more than ono important politi cal move hns been mado by him as the result of ndvice asked for and received from members of the par ty who are scarcely known outside of the immediate locality of their homes. It is because ho realizes that ft man doesn't have to ho prom inent to have pood jndgemont that President McKinloy is so well' liked bv the rank and file of the party. The situation in China prows worse instead of better, and it may become necessary for this govern ment to send soldiers from the Phil lippines to properly protect the American interests in China. The break in telegraphic communication with Pekin has resulted in the circulation of many sensational stor ies, which may or may not be has ed upon truth. The administra tion hns not the slightest desire to meddle with China, but it intends to protect our largo and increasing commercial interests in that country at all hazards. An official statement prepared at the Treasury Department (-hows that during the first three months of the new financial law, there have been 3C2 applications for authority to organize National Banks, with a total cnpitali7ition of J16.19fi.000 2H0 of which were for banks of $50, 000 or less capital. During this period, 159 National banks, with a combined capital of $8,645,000 have been actually organized and open for business with an increase of $51, 997,910, in National Bank circulnt'on If proof were needed of the wisdom of the National Banking clause of the new financial law, it would be these figures, showing the quick ness of the people to recognize the benefits open to them by a provis ion for National banks with k-,s than $50,000 capital. Sonor Nicholas Rivero, 'ditor of the leading Havana paper, Who is now in Washington, pays this high compliment to Gen. Leonnrd Wood, Military Governor of Cuba: "Gen. Wood is an honest and wise official nnd is doing all he can to give the Cubans a good administration. Mr. James J. Walton, of Idaho, stoj ped long enough in Washington to give his idens for the political outlook in his state. He. said "Idaho will go Republican this year. We lost the state four years ago by nearly 20,000, but the elections of the last two years brought that ma- ioritv down considerably, and we think that this year we will again get control of the state. McKinley and prosperity are responsible. We lmve not had such prosperous times in ten years past, and as we are experiencing to-day. We are rapid- Iv developing our industries. Our people are paying off their debts. We are too well off to think of making a change. We are satisfied with the present state of affairs McKinley and prosperity are much hotter than Bryan and deniorali zution. Although farmers in all sections of the country are prosperous, the D"ii)ocratio Congressional Campaign Committee have undertaken to con vince them that they are not. The Committee actually puts out a claim that the farmers have lost two bil lions of dollarB under the McKinley administration by the decline in prices of farm products. The farm er who remembers that he was heavily in debt when the Cleveland nomiuibtration closed, and who is now out of debt and has a balance to his credit iu bank, will be con vinced by this sort of literature that the correct reading of the adage should be "Figures can lie," especi ally when manipulated by those wlio care nothing for facta. The reuublicauv miuhc find it good pol ities to aid in getting this sort of Democratic literature into the hands of pnMtpei'Oua furiuur. Real Estate Tanafer. Hiram Branning to Clias A.

Bull is bnil'lnig a new camp on his farm in Milford Tsp. to ac commodate the boys brought bv Rev. F. Gardener, ( f Yntes Institute at Lancesler Ph., for summer outing. Ohio's Republican attorney-gen. oral is engaged in the prosecution of trust9 and New York City's Democratic officials nre striving to shield them. Here is another illus tration of the difference in methods. Blooming Grove township has con siderably increased in population ; in 1890 there were 351 nnd there are now 446 inhabitants a pain of 95. hould other townships show a cor responding gain the population of the county will be over ten thous and. The Misses Etta and Hattie Dock er were elected last Sunday by the Presbyterian Sabbath school delegates to the county Sundny School conven tion which meets at Lncknwaxen June 2(S, and Miss Ann linker nnd Miss Hattie llnrton were elected al ternates.

Farnum, of Port Jervis, died at her home Tuesday evening after a long illness. She wns born in Baltimore Sept 2, 1813, and was a daughter of Rev. Michael Dunn. Early in liie her mother dying she became an inmate in the family of Hon. Frances Marvin, whose wife was a cousin, and so remained until her marriage in 1867. He husband died in 1895. Two chidren George Francis and Lillian Hiuuinn survive The funeral will take place to-day at 2 p m. Raymondskill Falls will not be closed to the publio Sundays as has been announced. There are many who are confined at homo or at work during the week and have no time for driving other than Sundays. It was on reflection thought to be a hardship to exclude such on that day from viewing one of the grandest sights nature bus bctowed in tins valley. There can be no harm in a quiet visit to such a scene of beauty and one may be led on be holding them to lcok up from Na ture to Natures God. Repuolicnn Convention. There wns no question ns to the nomination of President. McKinley that matter hav;ng boon long ago fully settled, but the contest, over the candidate for Vice President whilo earnest and divided with sev eral available names was not acri monious. The prevading idea Boom ed to be to select a statesman of acknowledged ability and avnilihil itjr, and, with the number who fair ly met these requirements it, bo came also a question ns to who would be strongest in New York and the west. The sentiment for Governor Roosevelt, of New York, grew strong, nnd hnd he consented to ol low the uso of his name tbe matter would hnve been determined in nd vnnce. He hnlted but finally the pressure became so strong that be was compelled to yield whereupon all of tho candidates withdrew nnd both McKinloy nnd Roosevelt were nominnted by acclnmntion. The platform adopted embodies the following leading points. A lessening of war taxes which benron the musses. Legislation to foster trade In tho far East nnd mnlntain the open door. Laws to prevent monopolies urged a id combinations to control prices condemned. A steadfast ndhernnce to the Monroe Doctrine." Independence nnd self govern ment will bo given Cuba os promis ed. The largest measure of self gov ernment for the Philippines con sistent with their welfare nnd our duties. The construction of tho Isthmus canal and control by the govern ment. Attempts to nullify franchise on account of color called revolution ary and condemned. The platform is invincible and with the men npon it will sweep the country. Free Pictures Every Week. The appreciation of the recent pict ures given free to renders of the great "Philadelphia Sunday Press'' has in duced the management of that paper to announce that a beautiful picture will be given with every copy of the 'Philadelphia Sunday Press" every Sunday. The assurance Is also given this series of pictures will lie the most magnificent ever distributed. The subjects are nil original nnd by the highest class of artists.

So the Bo::ers nre making things lively over in China. Well within a few days when Uncle Sam can got a few of his borers withia gun shot of them, things may be lively for some of the boxers, and there will be a demand for colored paper, fried chicken etc, which seems to be es sential to Chinese funerals.
