A Grave Charge.

The New York Journal charges Pres
ident Cleveland, Secretary of State OIL
ney and other high officials with Sc
cretly aiding Spain to crush the Cuban
revolution. This, says the Journal,
was, and is being accomplished by
this government not placing its claims
against spain in the hands of our rep
resentative for collection and thus di-
rectly force the issue. The case of
Harry Delgado, an American citizen,
has been allowed to remain entombed
in Spanish prison on flimsy pretexes,
and no open or official effort has been,
up to certain time, made in his hehalf.
The New York Mail and Express, in
whose employ he was at the time of
his arrest in Cuba, have brought the
matter face to face with the State De
partment and they can no longer ig-
more it. Unless the man is beyond
doubt malefactor it is the duty of this
government to protect him at all haz-
ard6 Ito hard to credit all the con-
flicting stories that are published re-
garding Cuba, but there is no use to
belittle the sympathy that is expressed
for the insurgents. We still believe in
a conservative course by this country
in the Cuba-Spain embroglio, and do
not believe that our Chief Execu-
tive has proven a traitor and that his
public utterances are lies.

tioual Independence. From very good
authority We learn that Spain is
anxious 10 terminate hostilities but
desires to retain some hold upon the
Island, in order to secure revenue suffi-
Gent to build up Ter wasted treasury.
Munster De Lorne, acting for Prime
Minister Canovas, of Spain, and Sec
rotary Olney are end.avoriug to fix up
a treaty mutually satisfactory to both
parties interested. This government
will not consent to anything that dues
not give the Cubans complete auton-
omy. The Council of administration
shall be composed of thirty members,
all Cubans, and elected by the people.
They are TO levy aud collect taxes and
have controlling interest in the
laws and government in general The
Governor-Ge will no longer have
absolute, despotic power, but must
consult the nations laws and conform
to the same. With this government
interested in their welfare and doing
all in their power to bring an end to
the war, the Cubans will most likely
consent to the treaty, as Spain dare
not act the treacherous part she did in
the ten year war. Then with the New
Year, there promises much for long
period of peace, plenty and prosperity
in all parts Of the world.

Approve of the Treaty.

All the noted personages of Europe
send warm words of congratulation
and commentator on account of the
treaty of peace that has been recently
consummated between Great Britain
and the United States of America.
Gladstone, the noted statesman of
England, rejoices in the signature of
the Anglo-American treaty, and thinks
it indicates sentiment worthy of
christians, and constitutes a step in the
path of real progress. Ex-Prime Min
lister Crispi, of Italy considers the ques-
ton one to be seriously studied. He
thinks arbitration has made a great
step forward, but does not believe trea-
ties to be lasting between great powers
on account of acute jealousies of their
respective interests and different ambi-
tions. Other prominent men who APP
prove of the course of the two great
countries are Ian Maclaren, Henri
Rochfort, Justin Mccarthy, Alfred
Austin and Others. On this side of the
water the treaty is satisfactory.

Peace On Earth.

We can now stretch our Glands
across the sea" to our Anglo-Amer-
lean brethren in Great Britain and
wish them the compliments of the sea-
son. With that nation, at least, we
are to have peace for five years and in
ternational arbitration in complicated
matters beyond the concerted power or
wish of both countries to settle. In
another column will be found an ac-
count of the treaty, with Grover Cleve-
lands message to Congress regarding
it. There is no good reason why, in
this enlightened age, when nations
and republics and subjects of monarchs
submit their troubles and difficulties to
courts, judges and Kings for final adj
judication, that all countries should
not agree to abide by the decision of
high tribunal composed of men of
learning and authority on international
questions, thus ending forever the re-
sort to arms, now so general, and per-
that "Peace ON earth to men
of good WILL" which our Lord had in
mind when his angels sung the great
Hosanah on Christmas Eve nearly two
years ago.

SHERMAN TO SUCCEED OIL
NEY.
The Ohio Senator Has Accep. ed
the State Portfolio and Will Be
McKInley's Premier.

1t is positively and authoritatively
announced that Mr.. Mckinley has ten.
dered the State portfolio to Senator
John Sherman, of Ohio, and that the
distinguished statesman has accepted
and will be the premier of the incom-
ing administration.
Speculation as to who would be the
Ohio members in the cabinet of the
President-elect has persislently hover
ed about the names of Senator Sher-
mau aud Mark Hanna, the chairman
of the National Committee, 1t has
been known for some time, however,
that Mr.. Hanna's ambition was seat
in the United States Senate. The re-
tirement of Ohio's veteran Senator to
accept the position of premier in Nc
Kinley's cabinet will probably open
the way to a qualification of this ann
bition.
Mr.. Sherman's term as Senator
would expire two years hence, March
4th, 1899. The vacancy created hy Mr..
Sherman's retirement will be filed by
appointment by Governor Bushnell
pending the assembling of the Ohio
LEGISLATURE in January, 1898. 1t is un-
derstoOd that Governor Bushnell will
appoint Mr.. Hanna to the vacancy in
the Senate when Mr.. Sherman Ships
out to assume the grave responsibility
connected with the head of the depart
ment of State.

A GREAT PUBLICATION.

Some Reasons Why.

The Philadelphia Press Almanac fol
1897 is beyond question the most COM

manac publication issued by any news
paper in Pennsylvania, and is in all
respects fully the equal, if not the ab-
solute superior of the best publications
of the country. 1t is in word, wor-
thy of the great newspaper whose
name it bears. Local features are in-
cluded in it, which have never appear
ed in any similar publication. A COM

ficers of every county in the State is
among these. 1t gives the official vote
III detail for Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Delaware and Maryland, and the
vote by divisions for Philadelphia and

directory of the various State govern
ments ever printed, and It's church d.
Tectory for Philadelphia presents what
never before has been attempted fig
uIes showing the numerical strength

the denominations. In its general de-
partment, 1t presents a mass of we'll
edited, cOncisely expressed inforna-
ton, covering every field of human
activity, in so valuable manner that
no intelligent citizen who takes an
interest in bis government and in So
ciety in general can afford to lie with
out copy of the work. 1t brings up

covered 10y an encyclopedias. The book
is handsomely printed and substan-
tally bound, consists of nearly seven
hundred pages and is sold 10y news

One Way of Paying Campaign
Debts.

Baltimore's Mayor is physically
small, but if the charge made by the
daily press of that city concerning his
news disbursement be true, then his
character is smaller than his stature.
The charge is that he gave out certain
important proceedings of the Mayor
atty to one paper only of the city,
though the other dailes asked for the
same information. The favored paper
was the Sun. This would seem to color
the Mayors act with more suspicion
than had he favored the american,
as he was elected as a Republic
can aud runs Republican city adj
ministratiun la Hooper. The
Sun favored Hooper's election, and
the bitter protest of the other morning
daily papers is against the use of the
prerogatives of the highest city Office
to pay campaign debts. 1t is very
small business surely, aud the like con-
duct never before stained the robes of a
Baltimore Mayor.-Kent Ne,Os.

Capitals aud cast their electoral votes
for President. This is the last official
function of the electors and definitely

date for Vice-President, got five votes
in North Carolina. Dispatches of the
Associated Press received up 10 o'clock

received any other votes.
Complete official returns show that
McKinley's plurality of the popular
vote over Bryan was 593 26l. The ag-

Hauling the Stone for Montevue.

For the past week an effort has been
made to get rid of the broke II stone in
the sheds at Moutevue. The farmers
in the neighborhood have been asked
to, and are getting them on the roads.
At this time of the year many teams
are idle and it would seem but natural
that helping hand would be given TO
make fine pike by which all would
profit by having good roads over which
their produce could be hauled. Strange
to say, however, few volunteered TO
haul the stone, yet all use the road.
Those who sent their teams were Col.
Baughman, Mr.. LaKin and Mr.. Ke-
lauver. This seems about the way all
improvements on the roads are made.
Most farmers seem to be unwilling TO
give few days work on the public
roads for fear some one might get the
benefit of The little work they do. By
united efforts half the roads of the
county could be piked, which would
be far more profitable than loafing
about co ntry stores at this time of the
year. There is plenty more work to
do and teams can be used Mt the other
end of the road. Let those who have
not rendered any assistance do so at
once
