President Mr-Kinloy Is still receiv
ing comtrnttdntions on ono of flip
most remarkable endorsements ever
given n President by tbo American
people nnd I compelled to hold nn
almost cM.nt lintnl levee during office
hours. He does not regard Mm re
sult as so mneh n personal nnd pnr.
ty triumph ns It wns a triumph of
right over wrong, nnd ns Involving
now responsibility for himself nnd
the Republican majority fn Con
gross, in order that tlio people may
sou Hint their confidence nnil en
dorsement. win deserved. Ho liri
nnocoeded In conducting his first
administration uu to thin lime
through some very trying clrouin
stances without making a single
mistake of iniportniioo And he piir
poses to do Ms ntmost to continue
that good reoord thn.ugh Ins second
administration, nnd If the Annie
caroful consideration, dnlnrenne to
the opinions of the party lenders
pntrlotiHin whloh lins guided his
every net since lie became President
will mnke success, ho will nohiove
It. Ho will do hia best which Is nil
that nny nny innn can do, nnd nil
tbnt the patriotic people expect of
nny tnnn.
Washington In full of the tisunl
nftor-tlio election gossip about the
mnke. op of thn next C-nblnot, but
the subject has renlly not been con
sidered by .theme most interested for
the very good reason tbnt they have
not hnd time to do no nnd tbnt there
s no occnslon for hnrry. The
President In very well satisfied with
his present Cnbinot, and if nothing
wore to be considered hut bis own
wishes, there would be no changes.
But It is veil known that n mnjorlty
of the present Cnbinet bold their
positions not because they sounht
them, but because the Prosidont de
sired their assistance in making bis
administration a success and prob
nble thnt at least three of them,
possibly, more, will nsk to be allow
ed to retire at the close of the pres.
ent Administration. It is no holiday
Job to properly perform the duties
of a member of tbo Cnbinot nnd it is
not surprising that men having the
necessary knowlogo and capacity to
mnke their sorvices deslrnble ns
suoh are not hankering after the
places.
Although Sonntor IJnnnn has not
yet named the Chairman of the
Washington Committoo which will
make the arrangements for mid
have chnrge of the second innut,nr
ntion of President MeKinley, the
prominent men of tho nntlonal oapi
tnl nre already discussing ways and
means of making tho event memor
able. The tenor of puhltosontiment
in Washington was rofleoted by Mr.
L. T. Miobener, Gen. W. W. Dud
1 iy's law partner, when be snid of
next inauguration dny : "All the
richness nnd granduer thnt we can
lavish upon thnt occasion will nol
be too much. It will be tho first In.
anguration of a new contury, mid
will mark a victory no less impress
ive or important than thnt of the
second election of Lincoln. We
should strive to excel in the glory
of tbnt day the splendor of the jub
ilee or England's Queen. We should
Ahow tbnt there is not hing mean or
cheap about a republic and that even
the oldest nnd greatest monarchies
oannot outdo us in doing honor to
the institutions And histrry of the
nation." With this spirit prevail
ing, President MeKinloy's second
inauguration cannot fail to be one
of the most imposing and mngniS
cent events in our history.
The yellow press is disposed to
make quite a mnro's nest out of the
cable news from Mndrid that this
government bad agreed topny Smit
$100,000 for throe islands, adjacent
to the PhiHippines, subject to the
ratification of the treaty providing
therefor by the Senate, and some
rock and mil stories About the re
gret of Secretory Hay at the giving
out of the news in Madrid have been
printed. To get down to cold facts
the matter is not news at all, as it
was fully published soniemonthsago
that rather than have a long diplo
mats wrangle with Spain over its
claim of sovereignty of these inlands
because they were outside of the
geographical limits named iu the
treaty ceding the Philippines to the
U. 8,, this eonntry bad agreed to
pay Spain $100,000 for them.

The Montague creamery after a
successful season has closed fur the
winter, luring the summer a dully
Average or about ft, (toil quarts oT milk
was received. Farmers were paid
the price obtained for butter less the
cost of manufacture, this netted them
an average of about 2:2 cents n pound
and on an average twelve (uni'ts of
milk were reipilreii for a pound of
butter- They were also given back
the skim milk which Is of considera
ble value for calves and pigs. It may
lie safe to calculate therefore that the
milk has netted them over two cents
a quart for the summer months.
This Is profitable for that season and
If the creamery could be kept run
ning during the winter, as no doubt
in time It will be, farmers will find
that keeping cows will pay bettor than
other nny farm Industry. We hope
the elf' irt to establish n creamery In
this section will be successfully agi
tated and that by another season it
will be in operation. Nothing would
a (Ford so much relief to many farm
ers heie who arc now obliged to come
in competition with creamery butter
and Willi the result that that product
Is piefernvl to the! is at a higher price.
YV'lteie cattle ice kept farms Increase
in value and fertility. In fact they me
indispensable for manure which Is
the life of land. The creamery re
lieves of a vast amount of drudging
Inboi, for which them is no coiiipeu
sation, and mal.es farm life far more
pleasant especially for the females of
the household. They have become a
necessity in the economy of Agiicul
tuie and any community which does
not lecogni.e this fact and advance
in this line is -doomed to fall behind

The Reading Koom.
Realizing tho great benefit to be
derived from a public leading room
wbeio men and boys may have access
to newspapers ami magazines or pass'
the time In harmless games, and
meet In a social way, the Republican
Club has been moved to make nn ef-
foit to afford such n place. The Idea
has met with a cordial response mid
its consummation now sceiiisnssured.
The purpose Is to supply several dai
ly papers and other leading matter,
to have a separate room where those
desiring tuny amuse themselves with
games in conversation, to keep
the place' open each evening,
during the winter at least, and
to have some oik' in charge who
will see that everything is quiet and
orderly. Thcie will lie no charge or
dues but those desii ing may contri
bute such sum is they deem pioper.
Everyone, however, whether a con
tributor or not will be welcome to en-
Joy the hospitality of the club and to
spend as much time as lie desires in
the rooms. It is to licncflt the public
by furnishing a place where the young
especially, may improve their minds
or be harmlessly occupied iluiing the
evenings with surroundings which
will not vitiate their mm til atmos

Following the example of the
President of the United States, who,
in oliedience to A national . enstoin
bnllowed by glnd observance, hns

giving to Almighty Ood for the on.

of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl.
vnnia, do hereby name Thursday
November 29, as a day of thanks
giving and prayer.
The citizens of our Commonwealth
have enjoyed a condition of unusual
prosperity. Labor has had constant
employment nt good wiges. Our
crops hnve been bountiful nnd the
various products of industry hnve
found new markets in all parts of
the world No great calamity or

been excellent. Our state hns oon
tinucd itsstendy and healthy ndvnnce
toward A higher oltt7ienship and trie
future is bright nnd promising, Let
ns, on this day, put aside our nsual
on res nnd labor and Join with one
nnother in manifesting oar gratitude
to the divine sconrces of those mul
tiplied evidences of progress nnd
human advancement.
To this end I advise that religious
exercisos be conducted in all
churches and that devout prayers
be offered to Almighty God for a
continuance of His guidance nnd
oare. Let ns osjieclally remember
the sick, the noedy and the poor,
and endeavor, so far (is in onr pow.

The election of MeKinley has made
n new record in Amerlonn politios.
For ono hundred And four years the
loser in evory Presidential contest
has defeated his opponent the next
time he ran ngninst him. In 1798
John Adjims defeated Thomas Jef
ferson. ) 1800 Jefferson defeated
Adams. In 1821 J. Qaincy Adams
defeated Andrew Jackson, In 1626
Jackson defeated Adams. In 1888
Benjami4 Harrison defeated G rover
Cleveland. In 1893 Cleveland defeat
ed Harrison. In 1898 Wm. MeKinley
defeated Wm. Jennings Bryan, and
in 1900 broke all precedents by de
feating his former opponent Again,
Another precedent broken by Mo
Kinley 's election is that slnoeUrant's
second eleotionoda 1 1878 no other
President has boon chosen for a sec
ond term. Still aaotber precedent
is that in the same poriod New York
state had not been carried by the
same party In two eonsecnti ve Pres
ideutial elections. -
Kansas Prosperous.
Through theeouxtesy of J. W Nyee
Esq., we are In accept of the Mail
and Breeze a Topcka paper showing
how Kansas buried populism, and
gave a large Republican majority,
MeKinley carried 83 and Bryan 22
counties. - The Kepublicans outnum
ber the opposition two to' one in the
legislature and retain a solid delega
tion to Congress.. ' The result Is attri
buted to the magnificent, patriotic,
prosperity making administration.

an artists touch and expression. A
prayer was offered by Rev. Thomas
Nichols and an appropriate selection
of Scripture read by Rev. C. B. Car
penter. Rev. mid M rs. Scudder sung
a duett, The Iirds Prayer, with fer
vency and power, their e:;cellent voi
ces blinding finely and In excellent
taste. The choir rendered two an
thems with spirit nnd Mrs. von der
Heyde, as usual, charmed her hear
ers with a solo "I will lay me clown
In pence." A cpini tet by Rev. nnd
Mrs. Scudder and Albeit Onrville
nnd wifo was well given nnd their
cultivated voices expressed with fine
eff jct the sentiment of the snored
song. Mr. Scudder made a short
dedicatory address nn,d gave as part
of it the verses which follow:

The organ Is of supci lor quality, of

(I lugged it in).
We'er on silver bent,
Without tho world's consent
And it will win."
The voters heard him shout,
Then straightway went abont
To give him fits ;
They said "we want no stuff
Half money and half bluff,
A dollar worth four bite."
It took his breath awaw
When the people had their say
Jn N O V.
But he's got his second wind,
Thinks he'll not again be Bkinned ;
Wait and see.
