betokens a thrift and economy that is conspicuously absent In sections of the country that are not In Lancaster county's class, which Is first.
 Pennsylvania had a great deal at the Chicago fair to make her admired and to give her fame, but if the commits sioners could only have introduced an Amish village venture to say that the Java village and the Dahomey village and the Japanese village and all the rest would have been eclipsed, and an extra shine would have illuminated the glory of the old Keystone state. The world is less familiar with these pecu- liar Pennsylvanians and theirways; for they are quiet and unassuming folk. It would be very good for the world to know more about the ways they have, for in most particulars they have con- tributed largely to making Lancaster county the richest county in the Uni ted States. Work is the secret Of 1t, and honest toll is wholesome exam pie to hold up to the rest of humanity. Philadelphia Times.

 Such was the welcome, modified, of course, to fit circumstances attendant upon the newcomer. that greeted each visitor who drew up at the gate of a Lancaster county farmhouse where an Amish meeting was being held one gIo- rious Sunday not long ago. The stran- ger might have thought there was a lack of cordiality about it; it really didn't sound like the fuIsome and con- ventional phraseology of what is known as polite society; but without asking us two Gentiles who we were. where we came from, what we wanted, etc, they simply made us welcome.

Ex-senator Edmunds, Views.

Philadelphia, Dec. 20-While decIin- ing to express a positive opinion as to the powers of congress in the premises, ex-United States Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont, when questioned to-day did not hesitate to speak of the untenable position assumed by those who desire to have the Republic of Cuba" recognized, ''To5 recognize as an independent state anything so mythical as the republic of Cuba" he said, would put this country in a. very undesirable position and one in which no civilized nation would like to be placed
 "The republic of Cuba has no sta bility, no autonomy, nor organization, no capital We may pity the condition of the people and deplore the atrocities which are being committed on the is- land, but to go the length proposed is something which no self-respecting na- ton could do. aa.
 Should the president veto the reso- lution and it be passed over the veto it would be a declaration of congress, which, perhaps would have the same effect as if the president had signed it, if he, as the executive, should deem it had that lawful effect. But if the president should be of the opinion that the recognition of a new power was purely an executive function and re- fused to carry out the instructions of congress there would be nothing left for congress to do but to either submit or irnpeach him for high crime and nisdemeanor in refusing to obey what they regard as a valid law. But I have no idea that the resolution will pass, so that question is hardly likely ever to arise"
 What is you opinion, senator, as to the right of congress to act in the matter?" was asked.
 Well, perhaps it might be held that this privilege was included in the con- stttutional provision which gives con- gress the sole right to declare war, as it might be considered one of the ele- ments leading to such an event"
 Senator Edmunds was shown Sena- tor Chandler's criticism of the state ment given out by Secretary Olney de- fining the position of the administra- tion on the question. T think Sena- tor Chandled erred in that matter" |" he said, emphatically, T think Secre- tary Olney not only acted properly, but that it was a patriotic duty for him to make the statement he did. As the official of the government entrusted with the management of our foreign relations, it was his duty to clearly state the result of such action, and I 1.1Ty q hot 1, the opposite view to that which he did, the men who are now denouncing him would have been the first to say he was acting in a perfectly proper man. ner. He did the only proper thing, and would have been neglecting his duty had he done differently"

P1cKEREL CATCH SWALLOWS

Many people have wondered what have become of all the swallows They increase rapidly during their sojourn in their Northern summer home, and they appear to have few natural enemi- es, yet their number remains about the same from one year to another. A Waterville gentleman thinks he has discovered the secret of the disappear ance of many of them It is a fact ob- served by everybody who has fished in the Maine ponds that swallows are all most constantly flying, about, often close to the surface, and dipping into the water The gentleman referred to was watching one of the birds doing this recently, when just as the swallow touched the water a pickerel came to the surface with a big swirl and seized him. The swallow went under, but the hold of the pickerel must have been slight for in an instant the bird came to the surface and tried to fly away. He seemed weak, and going but a few feet
The daily morning journal and courier., 1896-12-21

struck the water again. The pickerel must have been watching for the bird, for at that instant there was another furry in the water, and the bird went under a second time, not to come up again, and one pickerel had nice meal that day. These Maine pickerel are voracious fellows. and will tackle al most any moving thing that they can swallow, One was caught few years ago in a pond near here that had in its stomach young duck, and another @ small muskrat-Lewiston Journal
