Washington, d, c.. Dec. 19.-Clara

little enough to begin with and that
s20O0.O0O or $3,000,0OO win be needed be-
fore the society can finish Its work.
She not only expects to relieve immedi-

1t will be necessary for the society to
continue Its assistance until the next

Christians. and they are within a lin
tied district.
There will be no objection on the part
of the Turkish government TO any
work OF relief that may be inaugurated

been n member OF the Red Cross nsso-

In his speech in Philadelphia last
Saturday, our candidate for State
Treasurer, Hon, B. F. Meyers, said:
"The rapid return of the country to
prosperous conditions promises suffi-
cient revenues. At any rate an cleo
ton at which only State Treasurer
and seven Judges of superfuous
Court are to be chosen, can hardly be
expected to determine the question
whether or not revision of the tariff
should be had. True it is that the
changes are being rung on this ques-
ton by our political adversaries.
Even the transcendent splendor of
Senator Quay's civil service reform
program is not permitted to dazzle the
eyes of the Republicn saints, so as to
blind them to the great importance of
saving McKinleyism by the election
OF machine-made candidate for State
Treasurer. Nay, the unspeakable
virtues of the Senate Lexow Commit
tee, whose grand and glorious purpose
seems to be to get such information
tor the use of the next Legislature as
will have the effect of deterring that
body from char ging the name of this
city to Martinsburg, is postponed un-
til after election, lest, indeed, the cal
cium light which is to flash upon the
precincts of the City of Brotherly Love
might SO affect the optics of the regu-
lation Republican voter that he would
get his cross-mark in the wrong col
umn for State Treasurer on the Aus
tralian ballot

LOOK OUT FOR HIM,

A few days since a man came to
the boarding house of Mrs. Blosser on
East Street, and engaged boarding.
He remained there several days wait
ing, as he said, for his trunk to come
from Danville. He left the house os-
tensibly for the purpose of looking up
a drayman, but not returning in due
time, investigation proved that he had
left the town, not only beating her out
of her board bill, but stealing several
articles of jewelry, as well as a pair
Of trousers belonging to one of her
boarders.

TO BE ENLARGED.

In accordance with the recommend
ations of several Grand Juries, the
vault in the Register and Recorders
Office is being enlarged. In order to
do this, it was necessary to remove
the water closets in the rear of the
Court House. They will accordingly
be moved to the cellar under the
Commissioners Office. The cellar
wall have been cemented, and a Gem
ent floor laid, SO as to be able to
thoroughly flush and cleanse it daily.
They will be supplied with the very
latest appliances which are conducive
to health.

GOT THE WRONG MAN.

Elijah Shut, of this place, received
a circular letter few days since from
M. S. Quay, chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee, urging upon
him the necessity of not only voting
himself, but getting out the entire
Republican vote at the coming cleo
tion. He is indignant over the receipt
of it, and says they have not enough
money to purchase his vote, Were
they to come this way Elijah says he
has something he would like to tell
them. Evidently they have got hold
of the wrong man.

United States Senator Quay is ac-
lively pushing his boom for Republi-
can National Chairman. He lets no
chance 60 by to keep the name of
Matthew Stanly Quay before the peo-
pie, aud, as usual, is ready to sacrifice
all others to attain this end. His
champion is the Philadelphia In
quirer, and while that paper does not
publish one editorial in favor of the
Republican State ticket it gives COL
umns to Quay and his schemes. His
latest scheme was promulgated from
Washington in the form of an inter.
view, in which he explodes plan to
raise $4o,ooo,ooo by increasing the
import duties on woolen and other
goods. He says he will do great
things in the way of harbor improve
ments, etc., if the tariff is increased.
He is another instance Of "the peo-
pie b-d," for he wants to increase
the duties on woolens and increase the
cost of goods to our people. 1t is a
great play for increased popularity,
but it will hardly work, as the people
are satisfied to pay low prices for good
clothing, and will not willingly return
to high prices and low wages,

Next year is, the time to talk about
the President and the tariff and
money questions. To day is the
time to consider the way the State has
been robbed by the Republican party.
Republicans are trying to hide their
frauds behind the tariff question, but
the corruption Of State officials has
come to the surface, and will stay
there without the aid of an alleged
" Lexow" investigating committee.
