THAT CIVIL WAR.

A Observation-Disclosures is said 10
have foretold the Paris fire predicts
for 1898 terrible civil war in the
United States. For a foreigner the
prophet has done very well.
But as foreigners usually do. the
prophet has not hit the mark squarcly.
The terrible civil war he has IN mind
is the usual one of battle, murder and
sudden death, campaigns and con-
tracts, parades and profits. The civil
wlr of next year, and there will surely
be one, will not be on tented fields,
in desert and wilderness, but in towns
and cities and hamlets; not between
soldiers on one side and warriors on
the other, but between the advo Gates
of reform and those who have made
reform necessary.
Next year governors, congressmen
and state legislators are to be elected,
and war will be waged against the
bosses, the corrupt machines, the pro-
fessional officeholders and the specu.
lating politicians. The common peo-
pie will make supreme effort to
throw off the shackles that have held
them powerless while one man or a
SET of men named candidates for GER
tain offices or divided Offices among
themselves. They will try to over
throw the state, county and municipal
bosses and combines that have band.
ed together for mutual profit and
public plumber and place state, coun-
ty and municipality again in the con-
trol of the people to whom these
belong. They will attempt to drive
scoundrels from Office, stop the pros
tration of nation and state before
corporate power, prevent trusts from
owning, controlling and directing con.
crosses or presidents and generally Try
to drive the impure, the unholy and
the vicious from politics, from Office
and from legislation.
The people will be strenuously,
violently and corruptly opposed by
the bosses and the benehciaries of
low politics, and foreseeing the inevi-
table struggle at the polls and msun-
derstanding its nature the prophet no
doubt concluded the United States
was to be plunged into a war of
swords and guns instead of speeches
and ballots.-Ex.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
II Looks Like Harmony In the Penn
syIvanin Republican Ranks.

1t Is said at Pottsville. Pa. the case of
e. a. Van Valkenburg, charged with
conspiring to bribe Assemblyman
County, to vote for John Wanamaker
as against the Hon. Boise Penrose for
United States Senator during the last
session of the Legislature, was settled
on Monday by permission of District
Attorney Bechtel. Pledges were made
by defendants counsel that all the
court costs, amounting to about fifteen
hundred dollars, would be paid. The
defendant was discharged.
The collapse OF the case has been
expected for the past few days. The
charge, with the conspiracy charge
against Gen. Frank Reeder, were the
outcome of the fight between the Quay
and Hastings factions in the Republi-
can party
low, an Independent candidate for
State Treasurer, got over one hundred
thousand votes, the Quay and Has
tings men have shown signs of desir-
ing to forget their personal differences
and to make up. The Hastings men let
the case against Gen. Reeder go by
the board, and now in return the Van
Valkenburg case. which was really
aimed at Mr.. Wanamaker, has been
dropped.
For a time at least there will be
harmony or a truce among the Re-
publican forces.

Offices at His Disposal.

The election is over, but the trouble
and annoyance of filling the offices
will cause Auditor General elect
Major L. G.. McCauley of West
Chester some uneasy moments before
lie has everything adjusted to suit his
many republican friends. There are
not enough offices to 60 around, and
the fellows who get LETT are bound to
do considerable kicking. The Offices
which McCauley will have to fill and
the salaries are as follows: Auditor
general, 81, 900 deputy auditor gen.
eral, $4,000; corporation clerk, $4,000;
corporation clerk, $4,000; chief clerk,
$1,000, other clerks, $1,000 each /;
messenger, ST., night watchman,
5000. OF course, it will be some time
before these places are filled, but
there are at present many Republi-
cans throughout the State on the
anxious bench. The auditor general
has more places at his disposal than
the Governor, the latter having but
six.

WOMAN FOR PRESIDENT.
Mrs. Henry Wants the Nomination
and Outlines Her Platform,

Mrs. Josephine K. Henry, of Yer
saille, Kentucky. who is being doomed
for the Prohibition nomination for
President Of the United States in 1900,
does not hope to be elected. but she
firmly believes that the day will come
when woman will be the Executive
Of this nation.
She is the only woman in Kentucky
who ever ran for a State office. She
was nominated by the Prohibition
party for Clerk Of the Court of Appeals
in 1890, and again in 1894. Making a
spirited campaign after her first nomi-
nation she received 5000 votes.
Mrs. Henry has recently outlined the
policy she would adopt in case of her
election as President, the central ideas
of which are: The enfranchsement OF
American women" free coinage Of
silver" recognition of Cuban inde-
pendence," pension REFORM" ''reduc-
tion OF Federal Offices" "a non-parti-
san tariff committee" ''law-making
lobbying penal offense," and the alb
olition of the liquor traffic" Mrs.
Henry is an agnostic. The thinks
Thanksgiving day should be abolished
and that no reference to God should
be made in the Constitution.

WHAT WILL HE DO2

The hint that the president will ask
congress not to do anything in refer
ence to the war in Cuba is somewhat
surprising, owing to the fact that his
party, II not himself, had criticised
president Cleveland for his refusal to
DO anything to end the war and for
the wide difference between his
preaching and his practice.
But If the president will ask con-
gress to refrain from any action as to
the war, what does he intehd to do
about the ''Compettor" prisoners !?
These prisoners have been kept in
dungeons ever since their arrest.

United States government contented

A Rival For Bryan.
Tammany Democrats viii Back Parker for
President,

The success of Tammany in New
York at the recent election is to be
followed by an attempt to displace Mr..
Bryan as the leader of the Democratic
national party, and to make New
York man the next Democratic can
didate for President. The man whom
Iammany and Mr.. Hill intend to boom
is Justice Alton d. Parker. The fact
that Justice Parker at the recent cleo
ton overcame McKinley's majority of
100000 and carried the state of New
York by 10000 will be urged as
reason why the Democratic party
should look upon HIM as the most
available candidate for the Presidency.

The bottom has fallen out of the
prosecutions for alleged bribery grow

and put the costs on Van Valkenburg,
the prosecutor. And now it is ru-
mored that the case against E. A.
Van Valkenburg at Pottsvile has been
settled, land will be mol pressed on

cases to be tried, as it would show up
the rottenness of that party.

Sovereign VIII Have nm Opportu-

The Courier. journal, of Louisville,
Kentucky, under the caption, Soy
ereign's Vaulting Ambition" says:
THE great secret is out at last Mr..
j. r. Sovereign, the retiring General
Master Workman of the Knights of
Labor, resigned his position in order
that he might push his candidacy for
President of the United States in 1900.
Being free now from the RESPONSE
bilities of General Master Workman
and having none of the former difficult
ties to contend with, Mr.. Sovereign has
a clear field before him, and delegates
to the General Assembly openly ac-
knowledged last night that Mr.. Sow
ereign is an avowed candidate for the
Presidency of the United States when
Mr.. McKinley's term shall expire, and
the movement of making him field
worker Is the initial step of the Gen
eral Assembly of the knights of Labor
to launch Mr.. Sovereign's boom. The
effort will be made to unite the free
silver forces as they were last year"
II have no Presidential aspirations
whatever said Sovereign yesterday.
MY retirement from the head of the
Knights of Labor is not to conduct
canvass, but to devote my time partly
to my own affairs and partly to work
ing up the organization. If / should
run for President, which is out of the
question, l would only get the laboring
vote"
do you intend to take any part in
politics?" asked the reporter.
II am unable to say. one thing is
certain. and that is that l am not a
candidate for the Presidency"
