The third was almost if not quite as
exciting esthe preceding event There
were nine alters-Bob Swlmm,
Watch EN-, MOI arch, Tony Pastor,
Twilight, Violin, Leroy, Little Joe and
Ps'tic7at. The stable boys thought it
would do to "Watch EN-" and their
tips on him were freely taken. Tony
Pastor had his bachers by the legion,
and the knowing ones liked Little Joe,
but Petticoat was prime favorite and
sold freely. Monarch got away in the
lead, but soon fell b1ck into the
bunch, Tony Pastor taking his place
and moving along at a gait that made
PetticosPs admirers very weak in the
knees. 1t was not until the home
stretch was reached that Leunssney's
little mare began to show her speed.
The pace hcme was terrific, Petcoat
gaining at every jump and winning by
a short length, Little Joe a gallant sec

TIE Republican Congressional con
ferrees from this district met at Bedford
on Wednesday Of last week, in pursuance
of = resolution adopted at their first
meeting at Somerset on the previous
week, at which TO ballot was taken ow-
ing to the absence Of John \. Lemon, ia
whose favor the Blair county couferrees
are Instructed. Several ballots were
taken ae the Bedford meeting. but no
nomination was made, each county vO-
ting for its own 'favorite son, - Cambria
for Campbell, Blair for Lemon, Bedford
for LOugenecker, and Somerset for
-oull. The conference adjourned to
meet at Somerset on the Zlst. next
tuesday. We are not a prophet, and
therefore will not hazard an opinion as
90 which one OF the four candidates will
eventually be nominated. Two years
ago it required several meetings Of the
conferences before 2 nomination was sf-
iscted, and it NAV be that the same
process viii be repeated now. There Is
a vast deal Of iusincerity and false pre-
tense in an average Congressional con.
ference.

4 Distinguished Irish Patriot.

4 month ago I met a massive-faced
and massive bodied Irisbman on Broad
way. A flowing black beard nearly COW
cred his brawnv chest, and mustaches
Of great length huttered DER his cheek.
His eyes were gray and suggestive of
miTlhful disposition. He carried stout
blackthOrn, and limped as though suf-
feTing from rheumatism. This was
another Irish patriot. He has stood
within the shadow of the gallOws. When
about to be sentenced to be hanged
drawn and quartered for high treason,
he made a speech second only in elO-
quence to that which burst from the
lips of Robert Emmett while awaiting
his doom. Last winter he defed the
English Government by appearing in
Montreal at an Irish celebration and
making a patriotic address. The hand
bills announcing his intent bore in
mourning borders copies of his speech
when srraigned for sentence.
This man is Gen. Thomas Francis
BUuTke. a more modest, whole sOuIed
fellow never breathed. He has endeared
himself to Americans even more than tC
his native cOuntrymen. Everybody ad-
mires and everybody likes him. Barring
Englisbmen it is safe to say he hasn' It an
county office by any political party, ht
would assuredly sweep the deck. Indeed
he once came very near being elected t.
Congress in the strongest Democratic
district in the United States as the reg
ulaT Republican nominee. For the pas
eight years re has trained with thr
county Democracy. He has been th
life of many a city delegation to Stat
. conventions. l remember seeing hin
once heading brigade of men aIraYe,
III night-shiTts. They marched througI
the corridors of a Syracuse hotel tw
hours after midnight, beating tir pan
and footing 'hOrus. They tramped roun
the Tammany cohorts like Joshua5s an
my around the walls of Jericho, an
with very nearly as much success. We'll

REFERRING to the present fOuTishing
condition of the dry goods trade in New
York, the Tribune of that city, the lead
ing Republican paper of the country, is
gratified to learn that "large and numeT-
Gus sales are now reported by New York
merchants generally'-that 1.-THE busi-
ness is well distributed and payments
are unusually prompt" and also that
this pleasing condition Of affairs could
not be if the country to-day were not il
a long time. In the face Of this admis-
sion by the Tribune what becomes of the
dreadful prophecies of evil to the bust
ness interests of the country which were
the stock in trade of the Republicans
( two years ago, in case the Democrats
/ were entrusted with the control of the
government ? The Democratic party

when the same Republican prophets o

Two years ago William /. Scott, Of
the city of Erie, was the Democratic
candidate for Congress. against Charles
W. MacEey, Republican, Of NenangO
county, in the district composed of the
counties of Erie, Warren and Nenango.
In these three counties Blaine had a
majority of 1921 and Scott'smajority in
the same counties on the same day was
GG2, his majority in Erie county being
1.9JS, while Blaine carried the same
county by 2.5O5. 1t was said at that
time that about ttCelUe hundred Republi-
cans in Erie county had pledged them
selves in writing to support Scott. The
result in that county shows that this
statement was correct. It is now said
that last week papers we're laid before
Mr.. Scott, containing the names Of
fifteen hundred Republicans in Erie
county pledgiDg themselves again to vote
/ for him, and although he did not desire
/ to run the race over again, owing to the
I pressing nature of his extensive business
. affairs, he consented TO be a candidate
+ in view Of the strong Republican support
rendered him. The contest will, of
. course, be very exciting, and the result
will be awaited with more than ordinary
. interest. If Scott can run in the other
counties, Warren and Venango, as well
as he did two years ago, there is not
much doubt about his election.

How to Settle Labor Troubles.

There is only one way to settle and
heal all the existing troubles between
EN- plOyer and employe, and as l am feel
ing quite generous to-day | do not mind
imparting it to the public. Let employ
ers pay as generous wages as possible
and let employees faithfully earn their
wages, and all hands treat each other as
members of common brotherhood, and
then things will move along toleTably
smooth. OF course. this plan will not
be carried out, but it costs nothing to
submit it. All our labor troubles have
begun with great corporations, and from
thence extended into the smaller and
more diversified industries. The origin
of these troubles is the enormously dis
prOportiOnate salaries paid to limited
number of persons, and the miserably
small wages paid to the mass of the en-
p.Oyes. l take it that in some of these
great corporations fifty men can be found
on salaries whose combined earnings
annually are equal to the combined an
nual earnings of from 1000 to 1900 other
employees who are under them, and 30
. per cent. of whom rank the higheT-paid
men in general character and ability
! This disproportiOn of salaries in our i'm
! mense corporations is the bane of our
Industries, and the real source from
/ which all our troubles ramify in modified
/ forms. Whtn we find men in these
/ positions at salaries of $4,000, so, 600 OF
/ $4,000 coolly asserting that the great
mass of employees under them ought tC
be content with wages enough to clOthe
and board them, we may expect trouble,
/ discomfort and even violence. II is al
/ most time that the stock and bOndhold
ers of our corporations should set some
radical reforms on foot.-Ctu. Enquirer
