Reeder and Dreisbach Elected National
Delegates by Eighth District Confer
rees.
Easton, April 3.-The Republican
conference in the Eighth Congress.
sional District to nominate delegates
to the national convention at st.
Louis, met this morning in the law
offices of Secretary of the Common
wealth Reeder. There was large
attendance and much interest was
manifested.
The conference was called to or
der by Chairman Chase, of the
Northampton County Committe,
shortly after II o'clock, Hon. Judge
Stroh, of Carbon, was made chair
man. All the delegates were pre-
sent, Northampton having eight,
Carbon four, Monroe one and Pike
one.
The selection of national delegates
being in order Orrin Serfass nomi-
mated General Frank Reeder, of
Northampton Levi Horn named j.
M. Dreisbach, of Carbon j. M. Ben
sley named Judge Pinchot, of Pike,
w. A. Erdman, of Monroe, spoke at
length upon the proposition that it
was Pixies turn to have national
delegates, and he urged that the
choice outside of Northampton, be
given to Pike. He seconded Judge
Pinchot's nomination though he de-
clared Monroe had expressed prefer
ence for DR.. Walton.
The vote was then taken and re-
suited as follows, each conferree vo-
ting for two: Reeder, IA Dreisbach
l2; Pinchot, 2.

FOR SHORTENING THE ERIE
The Plan is to Connect the JeFer-
son and Honesdale Branches.


Also TO Extend the Greenwood Lake Rail-
road to Port Jervis N. u, whleh win
Give the Erie Road the shortest Llae
to the West.
Rumors are af1oat that the Erie
Railway will soon shorten its
route to New York, by making
an extension of the Greenwood
Lake railroad which is now control
led by that corporation to Port Jer
Wis, which will make almost an air
line and shorten the distance be-
tween those two places about twen-
ty-four miles. If then a line is
built from Honesdale to connect
with the jefferson branch it will
still further diminish the distance
by 18 miles, making a total of AZ
miles or one hours difference in time.
and also avoid several heavy grades.
There is a still more direct route and
that is to build from Greenwood
Lake directly to Milford crossing the
river at this point and then going up
Sleuth creek to the Raymondskill
following that their directly to Haw-
ley. This line was surveyed by Mai
or Seymour when the Erie was or
ginally built. There are no heavy
grades no short curves and the dis
tance would be still less.
The line along the Delaware and
Lackawaxen rivers is extremely
crooked, and full of short curves,
which are not conducive to high
speed. The other line would be
straight and trains could safely
make better time. 1t would also
open up large blue stone territory,
and would accommodate and tend
to build up the Delaware valley. It
would also induce traffic from Scran-
ton, and the Erie could then COM
pete with the D. L. g. w. for that
trade.

MKINLeY NAY WIN QUAY.
A Report that the Senator Might Come out
for the ohio Man shortly.


for the Ohio Man shortly.
The following dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press from Washing
ton is interesting to say the least !:
There has been considerable talk
here about Senator Quay with draw
ing from his compact with Mr.. Platt
in seeking to defeat MIR. Mckinley,
and thus becoming a supporter of
the Ohio statesman. This talk has
been so frequent of late in certain
quarters where information should
be Trustworthy that there is believed
to be considerable in it. Mr.. Quay
will not have the support of all the
delegates of Pennsylvania, and does
not claim them. He has admitted in
private conversation that a consider
able number of Pennsylvania dele
gates will be for other candidates.
He did not want to put himself up
as a candidate at the start, but was
persuaded by others into taking
that course.
AS the Mckinley wave has kept
sweeping over the country Mr.. Quay
has become more uneasy. He does
not feel complimented either by get
ting delegates from districts where
the majority of the voters have de-
clared against him, as in the case of
the Nineteenth District, including
the counties of Adams, Cumberland
and York. The majority of the
Republicans in that district declared
for Mr.. Mckinley, and in all honor
and fairness, according to party
usage, the majority should have
been allowed to rule and elect Nc
Kinley delegates. But by the con-
ferree system the will of the majori-
ty was overruled and two Quay
delegates were elected.
He has secured delegates in like
way elsewhere in the State, and he
is quoted as saying in private con-
versation that he does not much ap-
preciate being "a State candidate y
and getting delegates under such
circumstances. 1t will surprise nc
one here, therefore if Mr.. Quay on
his return from Florida, or even be-
fore that time, should withdraw as
a Presidential candidate and come
out for Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Quay is
known TO have said that " he does
care to fall outside of the breast
works if he can help it, " and that
is Interpreted here to mean that he
will not himself go into the national
convention as candidate for Presi-

There was very little important
business done at the meeting of
the Board of Education yester-
day.
Mr.. Weatherbee, a very recent
arrival from the state of Washing
ton, was given the position Of as
sistant of the Reform School at a
salary of S75 per month.
Miss Coursen's request that the
Board pay for her substitute while
her eyes were being treated was
denied as establishing bad pre-
cedent. The lady claimed th&t
the bad light of her school room
affected her eyes and hence the

that light.
Mr.. Biddell's request for allow
ance of travelling expenses was
also promptly voted down.
Inspector General Townsend's
report on his visit to Hilo schools
was read by Minister Cooper.
Deputy Inspector Scott called
attention to the crowded condi-
ton of many schools, specifying
Miss Bessie Reynolds room at
Kalihiwaena with 81 pupils, one
room in the Chinese girls school
with 76 aud Miss Bella Weights
school at Hilo. 1t was voted that
an assistant be provided for each.
Mrs. Lowden was given the posi-
ton at the Chinese school and
Miss Robertson at Kalihiwaena.
Mr.. Kelo of Molokai appeared
before the Board and gave his
version of affairs at his school and
the petition for his removal was
denied.
A letter was received from Mrs.
j. l.. Dumas who had been given
the position of assistant in the
Practice school at salary of $3.50
year to the effect that she could
not accept for less than 5000, and
the Board decided to find some
one else.
After Strengthening out num-

PRINCIPLE AND MAN.

The overwhelming desire of the Re-
publicans of this country to have as
their candidate for president Major
Mckinley we regard as the closing ar
gument-indeed, the final decision
in the most significant debate that has
held the attention of the nation since
the Civil War. From the day that
the Wilson law was passed we have
never doubted that the American
principle of Protection would be mag
nificently indicated at the next Pres
idential election. From the moment
that American industries began to
languish, while our keenest competit-
ors, felt the warming glow of a stolen
prosperity, we have declared that
the introduction of Free Trade law
by our government was the doom of
the Free Trade principle.
Free Trade in America has been it's
own executioner, and with it's passing
the people of this nation restore to
it's rights the principle which for many
years will prevail with no dissenting

given to madness and that learns we'll
its lessons of experience.
Because Protection, as we have al
ways said, was the issue that the peo-
pie had made for themselves, they
looked to the man who in their minds
most completely represented that
principle. Because Mckinley was
that man they turned swiftly to him.
Those political managers who planned
to substitute not another issue, but
some other exponent of the same is
sue, excited in the minds of the peo-
pie suspicion that some further eff
fort might be made to check their
will. And in that moment the oppo-
sition to Mckinley became hopeless,
for when the American people are in
earnest they brook no interference
from anybody. To the people Pro-
lection means Mckinley, and McKin-
ley means Protection. And because
of that association of man with prin-
ciple the people have determined
upon Mckinley for President as they
have determined upon nothing since
it was their will that the Union must
never cease to be the Union. The

Cultivate the habit of breathing
through the nose and taking deep
breaths. If this habit was universal,
there is little doubt that pulmonary
affections would be decreased one
half. An English physician calls at
tention to this fact, that deep and
forced inspirations will keep the en-
tire body in a glow in the coolest
weather, no matter how thinly one
may be clad. He was himself half
frozen to death one night, and began
taking deep breaths and keeping the
air in his lungs as long as possible.
The result was that he was thorough
ly comfortable in few minutes.
The deep respirations, he says, sti m
ulate Ine blood currents by direct
muscular exertion. and cause the en-
tire system to become pervaded with
the rapidly generated heat.
