Chill War Talk.

The expected war with Chill has been
the most interesting subje ect Of conversa-
tion at the National Capital, Of late and the
subjecthas been thoroughly analysed both
as regards possible foreign complications
and probable political effects.
President Harrison has prepared mes
sage for Congress in regard to the matter,
in which attention Is called to the conduct
Of Chilli and her policy of delay. Her ac-
ton lie characterized as unsatisfactory and
disrespectful. The duty of the Govern
ment is pointed out to be maintenance
of the national honor in which the question
of commercial interests, or even OF the
shedding of blood, should not be permit
ted to deter necessary action. The fact
that Chilli is just emerging from a revolu
ton and that she is q smaller power, which
has been urged as reason why the United
States should overlook the killing Of
American sailors, 10 not regarded by the
President as just excuse. The question
involved, he says, Is one Of right in which
the size Of the nation does not figure.
With regard to the report that an ulti-
matum had been sent to Chill, Congress
will be informed that none has yet been
sent, but it will be asked to empower the
President to send such an ultimatum. The
rejection of Il, or refusal to answer it will
be considered declaration of war on the
part of Chill. Thus the responsibility OF
declaring war will really be placed upon
the Soath American Republic.

DEAR CITIZEN:-We are still moving
along striving to keep pace with our neigh
bors, running not quito so fast as some, nor
are we stumbling SO often nor falling so
hard.
The industries of the season, like its
compliments, 60 on; Lady Snow beauties
our lawns Jack Frost paves our streets,
and Welcome Dusky Coal and Fickle
Bright Petroleum heat and light our
houses,
Our Educators continue to unfold the
ancient tome and the county papers the
modern. Still more in store by our addi-
tions to the Academy Library. We can
assure Prof. Mcclure that his labors in this,
as well as in his daily instructions, are ap-
preciated and fruitful.
On Monday evening, Jan. 1lth Mr.. Will
Thompson and family were surprised by
the invasion OF their home by their rela-
tives and friends, both in and out of town.
All ages and classes were represented; the
little children, young men and maidens
and those of sober age; there were those OF
the learned professions. mechanics, farm
ers and merchants. The program was var
ied-part of it an oyster supper. We are
always glad to meet our genial friend Will
and especially under the circumstances
just referred to.
We do not 60 signing along, but rather
march to the notes of soul-stirring music,
as those Of our friends from distance
know, who attended the musical recital
given last Friday evening by Miss Lizzie
Gibson and her pupils. The interest in Miss
Gibson's work is attested by the large au :
dience present.
The Demorest Temperance Contest, ac-
cording to announcement was held this
evening in the Presbyterian Church. Not
withstanding the inclemency of the wealth
er, the youthful contestants were greeted
by large and sympathizng congregation.
And as stroke after stroke came down
upon the liquor traffic, and its support ers
all felt that there were other purposes and
prophecy in the motto of the meeting:
"Tremble King Ale ohol, for we are grow
ing up"
The declamations were interspersed with
beautiful selections Of music by the choir.
One special feature Of the evening wac
the singing Of the little folks, Miss Eta
Moor'5 scholars.
The medal was awarded to Charlotte,
daughter Of Mr.. Henderson Donaldson.
The audience wuud have beer pleased to
have seen each contestant receive
medal, they were all so efficient, the bene-
diction brought the meeting to close.

A Great Cabinet Officer.

Judged by what he has actually accom-
plished in his department, John Wana
maker is as great man and as clean @
success as any Cabinet officer who has held
place in any country for generation past.
His improving and reforming influence has
been felt in every part of that immense
and complex system over which he pre-
sides. His success is owing to the fact
that he brings to the performance of his
duties the same business acumen that has
made him a success in private life.
In as far as genius is "superhuman
capacity for drudgery" and detail, Wana-
maker is genius He has clear discern
ment and steady purpose. He is not
only filled with the spirit of business re-
form, but is master ofits practical methods.
If he does not lay claim to the dazzling
qualities of the statesman" " he seems to
take in the vast and complex mechanism of
bis Department with the eye of master
who notes the working and relations OF
every piece of the machinery.

The PHILADELPHIA Nominations.

One would Judge from the following
from the Philadelphia Times (Ind.) of last
Thursday, that the honest Republicans oi
that city Stunned the polls as they do the
Devil. Referring to the Republican nomi-
mating conventions of the day before for
city officers it says;
"Of the four men nominated yesterday
for Police Magistrates by the machine
Combine of this city, two were arraigned
before the Senate for malfeasance in office,
and escaped dismissal and Disgrace only
by the Senate skulking the issue on the
pretext of no jurisdiction.
Magistrates Hackett and Roney are in
the list of Magistrates who were in corrupt
collusion with Bardsley to rob the State IN
the pretended collection of mercantile
taxes. They corruptly paid Bardsley for
their appointment as collectors of delin-
quent taxes and conspired to plunder the
State by illegal fees.
The denomination. .of these two Magis-
trates is an insult to every honest citizen
of Philadelphia, and if the people shall
permit them to be reelected, the robbed
people must make themselves parties to
their own robbery.
Is there no limit to the forbearance OF
the people of Philadelphia in official theft
Can corrupt rioters in public robbery com
maud the approval of the voters of this
plundered and disgraced community IT
so, Magistrates Hackett and Roney will be
re elected; if not, they will be overwhelm-
ingly defeated"
The Press tRep.) speaking OF the poll
teal selections made the same day says:
'Ex- Mercantile Appraisers Hunter,
Houseman and Patton, who were indicted
and dismissed from office, ere also ''vindi
Gated" at the hands of the Quay machine,
and under shelter of the statute of limita
tions they will 90 to Harrisburg to partici
pate in the selection of Judge of the
Supreme Court, two Congressman at-Large.
and eight delegates to Minneapolis. 1t is
great machine that can thus run the Re-
publican party of Philadelphia almost un-
challenged, but at the same time repair
and restore shattered regulations, making
them good enough, at least, for the trade
of practical politics.
The gentleman elected to Minneapolis
yesterday call themselves Blaine delegates.
None of them, however, have given any
pledges to vote for Blaine, and the con-
ventions were SO fearful of placing them
under any possible embarrassment that
they refrained from giving positive in
structions to vote for anybody"

Sleihging Accident.

\ load OF young men and women out
sleighing for pleasure were ,precipitated
over steep embankment near Zelienople
last Sunday night and two of them-nam-
ed Elizabeth Berry and J. r. Martin are
seriously, perhaps fatally injured Miss
Berry's spine is injured. and Mr.. Martins
skull was fractured. Both horses had
their legs broken in the fall, AMI were
shot.
The party consisting of twelve yonng
people, sons and daughters of farmers of
that section, started out in a two-horse
bobsled, and after ride of several miles
teey started for home. To lessen the dis
tance they took an unused road that wound
along the top OF steep hill. Everything
was coated with ice aud scarcely had the
horses reached the hilltop when it was
seen an accident was imminent, as the
sled kept slipping ominously close to the
precipice. The driver tried to turn the
horses, but was too late, for in an instant
the sled swung over the edge. The driver
iashed the horse, but they could obtain no
foothold and were dragged down by the
sled and its screaming occupants. OF the
entire load the driver is the only one who
escaped uninjured as he jumped just as
the sled went over the hill.
At the point where the accident occurred
there is sharp descent of about 800 feet,
with gentle slope of 200 feet more be.
yond. The ground was covered with ice
and when the sled went over the hill the
horses were dragged after and the sled
turned over. The horses were dragged
from their feet, and sled, occupants and
team in confused mass swept to the foot
OF the hill. BY the time the driver could
reach the party some of the young men
who were but slightly hurt had assisted
the ladies from beneath the sled.
