Senator Quay's selection of ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Watres as northeast
ern Pennsylvania's representative on
the state executive committee Is at
once a deserved complr'sn' and an In
dication Of the senator's preference
among the half-dozen local lieutenants
who were striving TO catch his eye. The
able gentlemen who were thus passed
by can probably yet get recognition. II

Is, as the esteemed Washington Post
remarks. important to bear In mind
that the hours of labor We're reduced
from an average of eleven and one-half
hours a day in 1910. to ten hours In 1892,
and that, Notwithstanding this very
material reduction. the standard Of
wages, estimated on the gold basis,
steadily increased, and there was still
greater increase In purchasing power
Furthermore, we are reminded by
the same authority that there rs
scarcely state in the Union whose
legislation has not been materially
changed at the demand and in the
interest Of labor. In the manufactur-
Ing and mining states, especially. labor
has secured many and great reforms
through legislation. The lives and
health Of workingmen in mines and
factories and on railways have been
protected by national and state laws
that were not dreamed of fifty years
ago. Other laws in the same general
direction are contemplated, and some
of them will be enacted. States that
are behind the most progressive in this
matter will be pushed forward, for
there Is no legitimate demand of the
workingmen Of the United States that,
If properly presented, will be slight
ingly treated"
Upon the whole. labor faces the fu-
ture with hope delineated in every
feature Of it's countenance.

the politicians get to lighting that the
public good Is looked after. We all know
that reform movements as general thing

tician to fear when he becomes n re-
former, as he knows all the tricks and
trades and while he may be instigated by
revenge yet the results are far more bene-

circumstances. No one knows better how
to reform political methods and enforce
reform legislation than he who has been
through all of It and up to the present
time has been opposed to reform.

The strongest and best feature about the
convention was the platform. If there has
been no other public benefit acquired over
this struggle a strict obedience to every
letter laid down in the adoption Of the re.
port of the committee on resolutions and
| a sincere effort to carry 1t out in every
particular Will be of vastly more impor.
tance to the people than the fact that some
particular Individual Or individuals repre-.
sent!ng this or that faction were nomi-
mated and elected. A stronger platform
honestly carried out. could not have been
desired by the good Republicans of this
commonwealth.

In summing up the results Of the con-
vent!on there Is one source Of congratula-
ton out Of the whole business. and that
is the Democrats are the biggest fooled

THE INSTALLATION AT LITCHFIELD.
 The installation of Rev John Hutch ins over the Congregational church ip Litchfield touched us here in Warren in- asmuch as were represented in the coun- cil called, by pastor and delegate, Dea F. A. Curtis being the delegate. Every thing was suspicious in regard to the day, the assembling of the council, ex- animation of the pastor elect and the in stallation services in the evening of Thursday, the 18th. Rev F. A. Johnson was chosen moderator of the council and delivered the charge to the people. Rev John De Peu preached the sermon from the text, "And the common peo pie heard him gladly" Rev Edward F. Aver of Bethlehem offered the prayer of installation. Rev Robert E. Carter of Washington was scribe of the council and gave the charge to the pastor. The right hand of fellowship was given by RevJ. L. R. Wyckoff of Woodbury. The church and lecture room were gracefully and tastefully trimmed for the occasion, including in It's arrangement the ap~ preaching Christmas. It can be safely said that the installation exercises were of . high order, and the event in all it's en- tirety will afford very pleasant retro spect to all who participated in it.

DEATH OF MRS X. :. LYMAN.

|
 After writing our correspondence last
 week, Mrs 4. E. Lyman was taken worse and died early on Wednesday morning, aged nearly S1 years. Her funeral was attended at her late residence on Satur- day at 1.30 p. m., Rev E. Matthison, rec tor of St Andrews church at Marbledale, ofaciated and the interment followed in the village cemetery, by the side of her late husband, Sidney H. Lyman, M. D. She has for 50 years been resident of this place. Her birthplace was Kent, being the daughter of Birdsey and Sally Beardsley of Kent Hollow. Many will remember Mrs Lyman, connected with her husbands profession, helpful com panion and nurse to all callers who need- ed word of sympathy. Since his death, she has led quiet, peaceful life and been able to attend to her necessary wants till three weeks previous to her decease. She leaves two sons, George s. and John H., and one daughter, Mrs w. c. Futile of Woodbury. All the children were present at the funeral. Mr and Mrs Tut tie returned to their home on Sunday, John H., returned to his home at Jersey City on Monday. So ends another life which has % long been identified with the interests of this village. life which has seen whole generation pass away bsfore her, but It has been life well flll- a with good deeds, motherly acts and Christian ways. There is now surely reward laid up for her in Heaven.

A RAISER OF FINE CATTLE.

A representative of THE BEE was pleasantly entertained, the other day, by Assessor T. B. Terrill of Flanders dis trict, who is believer in and grower of fine Devon stock. Mir Terrill is an ex- hibitor at the fall fairs and generally gets bis share of the prizes. On a yoke of three-year-old Deyons he was awarded first at Huntington and second Ut Water town. Mir Terrill recently sold fire yoke of two-year-0ld steers to Clarence Whitman of Katonab, N. r., and yoke of prime four-year-olds to James Wheel CT of Oxford. During the fall and win ter he deals quite extensively in working cattle, knowing how to select good stock. MT Terrill has handsome yoke of yea-- ling steers that give promise of being pre- mium winners.
