Uncle Sam Ready for War.
He Will be Prepared II There Is Trouble With
Spain Over Cuba.

Many statements respecting the at.
titude of the administration on the
Cuban question have been circulated
during the past week and various
articles of conflicting character have
been distributed throughout the coun.
try. The President has said that he
does not anticipate any trouble with
Spain over the Cuban situation, and
there is no intention to change the
policy respecting the matter which
was laid down by the administration
year ago.
In addition TO this members of the
cabinet have stated that the Cuban
matter may be left for the new ad-
ministration to settle. While follow.
ing such course may be the inten.
ton Of President Cleveland's admins
tration, the facts warrant the statement
that should an emergency arise requir-
ing prompt and decisive action the
several departments Of the government
will be found keenly alive to the re-
quirements of the occasion and amply
provided for any emergency which
may be encountered.
Measures of precautionary char.
acter have been taken to meet any
critical conditions which may arse
in other words the United States i:
judiciously continuing the work oi
Strengthening its Notifications and
works of defense, which have been ir
progress for several years and will
therefore, be prepared to change it:
policy should it be deemed advisable
to do so.
Investigation proves that army Off
GERS along the Atlantic coast are push
ing the work in their several depart
ments with all possible dispatch under
orders to have certain classes of heavy
ordnance ready for use at as early {
day as possible. Every precaution fol
secrecy has been taken and officer:
located at the navy yards decline tc
discuss their unusual activity, while
Secretary Lamont says that he is try
ing to make some return in finished
works of defense for the great expend
itures which have been made in thai
direction.
There is no doubt that the maxim
''in times of peace prepare for war
has been passed along the line. Nc
well informed official anticipates troub
lie, but as one of them said Saturday
night, at is like fire drill on boarc
ship. We want to know that every
dody would be ready if a fire should
break out.

pany for $4,000, 900, and payable on
January I, 1891 with interest at the
rate OF six per cent. The bond is Sc
cured by mortgage on all the prop
erty and franchises. 1t was decided
that the office of the company be at
the Reading terminal, Market and
Twelfth streets, in the city of Phila-
delphia. The president and directors
OF the new company will continue in
office until the first Monday in MAY.
1897. After the formal organization
had been effected the directors held a
special meeting for the purpose of
expressing the acceptance by this
company of all the provisions of the
constitution of this state" A resolu-
ton to this effect was adopted and it
was filed that afternoon in the Office
OF the secretary of the commonwealth
at Harrisburg.
William r. Taylor, secretary of the
former Reading railroad, will serve in
this capacity in the new company.
The directors will meet this week and
select treasurer. William A. Church
was treasurer of the old corporation
and he may be reelected.

May Cost Him $1,000.

The Philadelphia Record publishes
the following account of an election
bet made by a Williamsport man.
The Record says:
One of the most jubilant men in
town is George Ledle, the well known
contractor. Several days before cleo
tion he made an odd bet with John
Kelley of Williamsport, and the re-
suit will even exceed his fondest ex-
pectations. 1t seems rash, but Mr.
Ledlie bet Mr.. Kelley $500 to ST.
that Mckinley would carry New
York and Pennsylvania by 400, 900
plurality, provided that Mr.. Kelley
would be willing 10 pay one cent for
every vote exceeding that figure. The
bet was made, Mr.. Ledlie putting up
his hundred and Mr.. Kelley placing
his dollar in the hands OF the stake
holder. AT 5 O'Clock last Wednesday
morning Mr.. Ledlie's door bell rang
and messenger boy appeared with a
telegram from Mr.. Kelley, which read:
" VIII give you S25o to call the bet
off," Mr.. Ledlie hastily scribled a
reply which tersely said "Not on
your life There is every probability
that the plurality in the two states
will reach 600, 900, in which event Mr..
Kelley stands to lose 100000 cents
or $4,000"

Suspended Pastor Restored.
Unable to Repay Loan From an Aged
Parishoner.

The York County Lutheran Con
ference has restored Rev. William S.
Parr, of Steelton, Pa, as Il member
OF the conference. Rev. Mr.. Parr
borrowed $1,000 from Henry Cassel,
one of his aged members, about six
years ago, and used it to equip his
son in the drug business at Steelton.
Mr.. Parr then declared he was unable
to pay back the money or interest.
The loss weighed on Mr.. Cassers
mind and it is thought he died of a
broken heart. Rev. Mr.. Parr was
dismissed as pastor, and the Synod
gave him the alternative Of being sus-
pended or paying back the money.
He was suspended. The executors
of Mr.. Cassers estate invoked the
aid of the law, but were unsuccessful.

will go over TO the hall of the House
of Representatives in a body, headed
by Vice President Stevenson and
Secretary Cox, followed by Chief
Page Stewart, over whose shoulders
will be hung by strap two wooden
boxes containing the precious votes.
The members of the House will
rise as the Senators enter two and
two. The Vice President will mount
the rostrum and take a seat at the
right of Speaker Reed.
The two tellers for the Senate Mr..
Hale and Mr.. Blackburn officiated
four years ago), VII ST a. The desk
below; and below them will sit the
two House tellers. The Vice Presi-
dent will then take the envelopes
handed to him by Stewart in their
alphabetical order. In the first count
the States were taken according to
geographical location, beginning with
Maine; but since 1876 they have
been taken alphabetically. Each GER
tificate as it is taken from its envelope
he will hand to the tellers and they
will read them in turn, the Senate
tellers reading the first two and the
House tellers the next two. The vote
of Alabama will be read in full and
then unanimous consent will be asked
and granted that the remaining GER
tlicates be summarized. A double
tally of the votes will be kept That
will be a comparatively simple matter
this time, because it is known now
what the vote Of each State will be !;
and even if some constitutional OBJ
lection was raised TO the counting of
the vote of one of the States, it would
not involve enough votes to affect the
result of the election.
When the votes have been counted
and the totals have been announced
for each candidate, the Vice Presi-
dent will announce that William Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, having received a
majority of all the votes cast for Presi-
dent, has been elected President OF
the United States, and that Garret
A. Hobart, Of New Jersey, having
received majority of the votes cast
for Vice President, is elected Vice
President Of the United States. He
will then adjourn the joint session OF
the House and Senate and the
Senators will return to their own hall
or Senate chamber. If, after the
canvassing Of the electoral vote, the
President-elect should die before the
day fixed for his Inauguration, the
Vice President would become Presi-
dent.

POLITICAL GRATITUDE.

There are few places in the world
where a man finds so little apprecia-
ton for personal services as in polit-
ical work. AS rule, the man who
does the most for his party receives
the least reward, and never gets any
thanks for his work Take, for in
stance, the position of county chair
manship. He who accepts it has a
hard road to travel. He must give
his own time and services without pay;
he must organize clubs, hold meetings,
pay brass bands, horse hire, printing
bills, speakers expenses, and incur
numerous other bills and become per-
sonally liable for their payment. II
he does not do all this, he is denounced
as incompetent, and unfit to hold the
position. If ne does do it, he is found
fault with for being so extravagant,
and it is a very common thing for
candidates and public officials to re-
fuse to pay as much as they are asked
for toward campaign expenses, and ii
sometimes happens that some refuse
to pay anything. Very few men have
held the position in this county who
have not ended their campaigns out
of pocket.
In the recent campaign William
Chrisman, county chairman, was q
candidate for the legislature. He ha:
been chairman four or FIVE years, and
has been active and energetic, ant
performed all his duties efficiently
What was his reward? He was elect
ed by about the smallest majority o
any one on the county ticket.
1t usually happens that the men
VINO get the most political plums are
those who have done the least to cul
vate the tree. 1t has happened in
this county more than once, that mer
who have made no speeches, gave nc
funds, and done nothing else for the
good OF the Democratic party, have
been given fat Offices over those who
have done all these things year after
year for the party. There are mer
who engage in politics out of pure
motives of patriotism, but they are SC
few that it is very hard to find them
Most men enter politics for the money
there is in it for themselves, and it is
the shrewd, scheming politician who
does all MS work quietly and in ar
underhanded way, who can beat the
honest, straightforward patriot every
time.
As things go nowadays, the mar
who wants public Office had better
keep out Of politics, and then hi:
chances are likely to be better than
those who seek Office as a just reward
for political services rendered to hi:
party.

Reading Railroad Company Reorganized Un.
der Practically the Same Title.

zation, the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad company, the Philadelphia
and Reading coal and iron company,
and the Reading company. The lat
ter is now known as the National
company, but an application has been
filed In court to have the title changed.
This company will have supervision
and control over the other corpora
tons. The meeting on Tuesday was
held in accordance with notice signed
by Charles H. Coster and Francis
Lynde Stetson, who were the accred-
tied purchasers of the property and
franchises of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad and coal and iron
companies at the foreclosure sale.
The capital stock of the railway com
pany was fixed at $40, 900 to be
issued in 4oo,ooo shares of $50 each.

Farr for Speaker.
lackawalna Politicians Start a Boom in
His Favor.

Hon. John R. Farr, father of the
compulsory education bill and the
free text book bill, on Friday
announced his candidacy for the
speakership Of the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives. Mr..
Farr has just been elected for his
fourth term by the largest majority
ever given a candidate for the legisla
ture in Lackawanna county, and he is
the only man from that section of the
State who has gone more than twice
to the legislature. His friends point
out that the northeast is entitled to a
speaker, never having once been hon
ored IN that respect. Mr.. Farr is
energetic and popular and was a can
dldate for the speakership of the last
House.

There were four applicants, and all

that none but an intelligent and
worthy applicant becomes a citizen.

mine bosses, was cast against Mr..

for Saturday Evening.
On Saturday evening, the 24th inst,
there will be Republican parade in the
city of San Jose, under the auspices OF the
Santa Clara County Republican League.
This parade will be participated in by all

of their famous collations in the largest
hall in the city.
The Plumed knights have decided to

the Bay clubs may constitute large and
important feature of the parade.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby special trains will be run from
San Francisco, Oakland and Alameda en-
