Mother Country should not have upheld
the Dominion In the pelagic destruction OF
the seals. Not only justice nnd wisdom,
but humanity demanded that pelagic
sealing should cease. Az Canada would
not recognize the potency OF any of these
claims England also refused to recognize
them, upon the ground, evidently, that
whatever Canada did was right. Ameri-
cans. have believed. and do still believe,
that in this matter England has not
shown generous, even fair spirit OF
neighborliness or frlendliness toward us.
On the contrary, II Is believed that she
has shown a spirit not only unneighborly
and unfriendlyN but selfish and sordid. If
there has been during recent years, apart
from the Venezuela affair, cause for
American ill-will or lack of cordial feel
Ing toward England, 1t will be generally
contended on this side of the Atlantic
that Canadian policy, approved by the
Mother Country, Is alone responsible.
The antagonistic part that English
statesmen in office, and Englishmen in
and out of office, played against us when
the nation was engaged in a desperate
struggle for its very existence, was
played long ago. Englands unjustifable
thrusting upon us OF the war of 1872 hap
pened still longer ago, and her war
against American independence is alto
gether too remote TO have left behind any
real resentment. The Colonies fought
and won, and, winning, were content to
have no other memory OF the quarrel
than that, ana the supreme business and
heroism of IT.
The truth is that Americans deprecate
strained relations with England; not only
have they no purpose to build strong
navy with which to wage war against
her, but they desire only the most peace
full and cordial relations with her. That
England reciprocates the really friendly
feelings of the great intelligent masses of
this country for her. or the very common
desire that there shall be only friendly
relations between the two nations, is eX-
tremely doubtful When Canada by its
aggressive and overbearing conduct and
manner has taken advantage of our for
bearance and good-natured liberation,
England has promptly supported her
province in its i'll doing; and, hence,
American anger has often been aroused
and the warmth of American sentiment
chilled. Whatever the mutual relations
of the two countries are, or whatever
American feeling toward England may
be, they will not be improved by England
upholding Canadian aggressiveness, Can
adian piracy among our seal herds, Cam
adian commercial determinations and
acts of general unfriendliness and I'M
neighborliness. Indeed. IL the United
States shall ever desire a strong navy to
send against that of England the wish
will have it's origin and development not
| in England's, but in Canada's offences.

From the Scranton Times.

The appointment of Major Penman
shows beyond question that Mr.. Con-
nell has much influence with the powers
that be at Washington. To secure the
second appointment of a Scrantonian
and of the same man for collector is no
small victory. In the two Democratic
administrations under the rule of Harrity
and John b. Storm we did not succeed
in having a collector appointed from
Scranton. The first collector came from
Stroudsburg and the second, who aban-
doned the party and went to the goldites
last Fall, came from Bloomsbury. There
is no doubt of the competency of Major
Penman to perform the duties of the Of
flee to which he has been chosen.

MAJOR PENMAN'S APPOINTMENT.
Washington Dispatch, Philadelphia Rec

Washington Dispatch, Philadelphia Rec
ord
Congressman Connelps influence with
Senator Quay is generally believed to be
altogether responsible for the surprise
which was given Pennsylvanians today
by the nomination of former Congress-
man Fred c. Leonard, of Potter county,
for the marshalship of the Western dis
trict of Pennsylvania, and the nomination
of Major 7. F. Penman, of Scranton, for
the internal revenue collectorship of the
Twelfth district. Mr.. Leonard had been
slated for the collectorship by Senator
Quay, but Congressman Connell got here
Lass night, accompanied by his own cam
didate for that place. Major Penman, and
at once sought an interview with the sem
ator. The congressman urged very
strongly the claims of Major Penman
for the collectorship and told the sem
ator that If he did not get it he would
not have the congressman's support for
the marshalship, which was understood
Senator Quay was inclined to give him,
because Mr.. Connell had promised to
back for that place Chairman Thomas. of
the Lackawanna County Republican COM
mittee. AS Major Penman is an old
friend of Senator Quay and the latter
wanted to take care of him the senator
decided that the easiest way out of the
gresham Connell had indorsed him for
and switch Mr.. Leonard to the marshall
ship, which he originally applied for.
This arrangement was made and the
nomination went in today accordingly.

While down at Nesson this week Chas.
Baldwin came across large prsire wolf
and gave chase on horseback with his
lariet. After long ride over the hills
he managed to throw his lsrier over his
wolfship and dragged him to death.
The wolf was large one, and measured
six feet in length from the nose to tip of
the tail.
Al. Mackersie while out after cattle
on Painted Woods creek, was attack
ed by large prairie wolf that gritted
it's teeth and showed fight. and fight it
was, between Al. and wolf, and an emp
ty revolver which he had taken along
in case of emergency. The horse was
bit in several places, so AL. and the
vol: came out of the fight victorious.

Wonders will never cease. Postmas-
ter Metzger has moved the postoffice
from his own building. on the corner of
Broadway and Main street, into He'd
derich Bros. & Co.'s store. The fixtures
were moved very quietly and without
warning last Monday afternoon. 1t falls
to the lot of the Graphic to give the pub
lie due notice that the postofice will
hereafter be found at Hedderich Bros.
4 Co.'s "Big Store," and where close
scrutiny will also reveal the postmaster
disguised in "biled shirt and standing

The memories of the "Lime Kiln
Club" which fourished here about a
year and half ago, were revived last
Monday when beautiful, though a
somewhat soiled and damaged specimen
of the living statuary was shipped east
by Squire Bruegger for exhibition else
where. Symbolic of the quantity which
the slave to tobacco gets for ten cents,
this piece of discarded statuary was Ia

ture no aching void is left. The show
goes on just the same.
VIM. Snyder last week moved his
cigar and confectionery stock, together
with the barber shop, into his newly
repaired building on the east side of
Main street, opposite his old stand.
Mr.. Snyder now has finely lighted
and spacious place of business. which
is amply supplied with shelving. coun-
ters and show cases, and in the near
future he intends having every avail
able space well stocked with goods.
And this is another evidence of the
prosperity of Wllliston's wide-awake
| business men.
The present week has witnessed an
other important business change in
Williston. It is the purchase by Messrs.
E. A. Sharp and G. A. Bryant of the

Sharp & Brysnt's purchase embraces
the livery barn, horses and all vehicles
used in connection with the livery busi-
ness, Mr.. Roehr's dwelling, and the
large ice house and it's contents located
on the same lots. and the business will
be conducted by these gentlemen as
heretofore, only on more extensive
and systematic style. What business
Mr.. Roehr intends going into in the
future we haye not learned, but the

poets are good for fairly large corn
crop, and another good rain throughout
the corn belt will insure good demand
for feeding and beef cattle. Below yoN
