Reports from the rural districts
are somewhat mixed as to the re-
suit of the vote upon the bond
question for the new railroad. We
know that this subject has been be-
fore the people frequently. We
know that it looks as if on the other
occasions it seems as if the parties
at the head of the movement simply
wanted the bonds voted for the pur-
poses of speculation. And we know
that our people get tired of this sort
of thing. But we believe. and we
have good cause for the belief, that
this fine the people back of the
railroad movement are in earnest,
that they have the survey made,

S-<s--
The persistent and emphatic and
continuous expressions Of good will
from the English just at this time IS
not only surprising, but something
remarkable, in view of the history
of the two nations. It has only
been a little while since the impress
sion was universal that whenever
this country was in trouble, Eng
land seized upon that occasion as
about the proper one to secure some
advantage for herself. And so FIRE,
quently has this been repeated that
our people are loath to believe that
all this warm profession of regard
lust at this time is altogether disin-
terested. We hope that it is. TIE
evidences seem to be overwhelming
in favoy of that proposition. We
trust it is conviction that the peo'
pie who speak the English Ian
guage should never be apart on any
great international question. And
until something else develops, we
will believe that all we have seen
in this direction is true, that our
cousins across the pond like us and
are willing to help us in this time
of possible trouble, and are sincere
in their expressions of the desira-
bility of the Anglo-American ALI
ance that shall extend to every in
ternational question.

The government has made no
further purchases of war ships, but
it's negotiations in that line have
been productive of at least one i'm
portant result, namely, in establish
ing that unless the battleship Gen
eral O'Higgins becomes the prop.
erty of the United States, it will not
be sold at all. Spain, it is conf
IDENTIFY asserted, will not be able to
secure this war vessel, nor are her
chances any better or as good as
those Of the United States. Prac-
tically the same condition prevails
as to the Argentine armored cruiser
San Martina, which will become
the property OF this government if
it passes out of the hands of Argen-
tine.
Aside from these facts there was
the usual flood OF speculative report
current today, including renewal
of the report that Lieutenant Blow,
one of the Names survivors who
reached here Saturday, brought a
letter from Admiral Sicard contain
ing the information that the explo-
SION was external, but could not be
directly attributed to the Spanish
government. Officials high in All,
thority are loath to make specific
denials of these reports, as so many
Of them are afoat, but inferentially
the statement was dismissed as un-
warranted. One high official who
would be very likely to know if
such information had been brought,
stated that if it was in hand the fact
had not been made known to him
and he seriously doubted its cor
rectness. 1t is undoubtedly true,
however, that the Names officers
who have reached here expressed
it to be their personal opinion that
the cause Of the explosion was ex-
ternal. Lieutenant Blow is a junior
officer compared with Lieutenant

illusions were laid before the Span.
ish government, and appropriate &C
ton from that quarter asked.
It is stated positively that no part
of the report and no intimation OF
the findings, has reached the exec
utive authorities in Washington as
yet.
It is a noticeable fact that the
current OF official opinion is begin
ming to follow that of the unofficial
opinion, expressed so positively and
persistently at Havana and Key
West, that the cause of the explo-
sion was external to the battleship.
/ Officials high in the administra-
ton stated today that while they
were wholly without exact informa-
ton as to the findings OF the court
of inquiry, they found themselves
sharing in the apparently intangi-
BILE conviction that the cause of the
explosion was not accidental. Opln-
ion expressed by the Maine survl-
vors who reached here last Satur-
day doubtless has contributed
largely to this view in official cir
cles. In this connection it is un-
derstood that one of the officers
who arrived on Saturday, stated,
not as opinion but as his personal
observation on the night of the dis
aster, that there were two distinct
explosions. The tendency of this
is to support the theory of external
cause, as this is based on the idea
that the first external explosion was
followed by second internal ex-
plosion.
Intense interest in the report was
manifested today at the white house,
and at the state, navy and war de-
partments.

A Good Man for Governor.

The three leading candidates for
the Republican nomination for
Governor, Hons. William A. and
Charles w. Stone and John Wan
amaker, have warm supporters in
this county but the Republican be-
lieves that the nomination Of Hon.
G. w. Stone would give more gen
eral satisfaction to the Republicans
OF Clinton county than either OF
the other gentlemen mentioned.
He has kept free from the factional
strife that has been waging i'll the
Republican party of the State and
this fact alone would be a strong
factor TO bring about harmony,
thus enabling the party to present
q united front to the enemy.
Mr.. Stone is no stranger to public
life and in all his positions of trust
has been true to the people and
their best interests. With a man
like G.. w. Stone at the head of the
ticket the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania would march to victory. -

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, clay 2, 1895

w HAoh4NdION3 -flely =, 1910.
President Mckinley has every
reason to feel highly gratilied with
the progress of the war as well as
with the progress of the prepara-
tiOns for more active work. Our
new navy has shown itself to be a
worthy successor to the old navy,
the fighting record of which has
never been surpassed under any
flag. This week the army is to
have it's first chance Of participating
in the war, unless the reported
coming of the Spanish fleet changes
the Presidents programme. A
landing in Cuba is to be made by a
portion of the regular army, for
the purpose of establishing a base
Of supplies for the Cuban army and
giving it a chance to see what it
can do when it has modern arms
and plenty Of ammunition, while
the volunteer army is being gotten
into good fighting shape. Naval
official officials only fear that the
rcpostcd coming of the Spanish
fleet is untrue. They wish them

No Sympathy for Spain.

IN Pittsburg recently Herr Carl
Wittgenstein, of Vienna, the Car
negie of Europe, who has a personal
pay roll of $4,000 men, was the
guest of honor at a banquet given
by PresidentSchwab of the Carnegie
Company. In expressing his opin-
ion on the Cuban situation he
voiced foreign opinion very cor
rectly when he said that;
The opinion Of Austria, and, in
fact, all Europe outside Spain, is
that America should strike Spain
quickly and hit her hard. No iv-
ing man with the love of God or
humanity in his heart sympathizes
with Spain, who for 400 years has
written her record in blood, murder
and fire. The eyes of Europe are
upon America. She has now the
opportunity to throttle Spain and
force her into oblivion. She must
do it, as ! feel she will If the
people OF the United States do not
improve this opportunity they will
simply be Sinking a responsibility
which will fall sooner OF later on
some other country, many of whom
are anxious to get the chance. 1t
is a grave mistake to think that
there is any sympathy for Spain in
Europe.

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism



Mr. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such PAIN that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
sician he went to the store and secured
a bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache or pain
and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much good.
