of vantage in the senatorial battle
Then the intense feeling of the Wan.
amaker and other anti-Quay Republi.
cans against Quay should make Colo
mel Guffey, who will surely get the
unanimous vote of the Democratic
caucus the logical candidate for Uni
ted States senator.
1t is with this idea in mind that three
well known Democrats have announced
themselves as candidates for the Dem.
ocrattc caucus nomination for speaker
of the house. They are Captain George
w. Skinner, of Fulton, one of the most
popular men in the state, veteran
Union soldier. who will be serving his
sixth term in the house; Robert Nc
Cay Foster, of Centre, who made a
good record in the last house and was
reelected by n splendid vote, and
Charles B. Spatz. of Berks, the editor
Df the Boyertown Democrat and the
Der Boyeftown Bauer, two of the mos;
influential Democratic papers in Berlis
county.
Spatz has been an outspcken oppo-
nent of fusion on the speakership from
the outset, and although he and all the
BerkS county members were in this CITY
when Fow's fusion conference was held
they declined to participate in the
meeting. Spatz's supporters are prob.
ably most hopeful that the Republicans
who are opposed to Farr will prefer
him to any of the other Democrats, and
that this will influence the Democratic
caucus in his interest.

AS time goes on and strong evidence
is introduced by the prosecution
against Mrs. Cordelia Botkin who is
on trial for her life at San Francisco,
for the murder of Mrs. John P. Dunn
ing, of Dover, Del, the great nerve
and affected indifference which she
has exhibited all through the trial is
leaving her, and the great mental
strain, which4she has undergone, is
showing itself to such, an extent as to
require the constant services of a
physician. Her attorneys after delv-
ing in every possible direction which
their ingenuity could suggest, find
themselves utterly unable to combat
with the strong evidence. "Verily,
murder will out"

interests to capture the speakershiI
for one of their leaders, General
Koontz, can be appreciated by the
Democrats, but the query arises where
does Democracy come in, and whether
defeat of a fusion scheme on the
speakership would not be disastrous tc
the plans on the senatorship.
Some of the most astute Democratic
politicians believe that in view of the
almost absolute certainty of failure OF
fusion on the speakership the chances
of recognition by individual members
of the house by the Republican speake,
will be greater, and the prospects fol
the election of Democratic United
States senator will be enhanced by
Democrats standing by one of the
Democratic candidates for speaker. II

East and Fifth streets nearly lost
his life on Monday. A freight train
was standing OH the railroad on East
street, and he in a hurry to get
across the track, crawled under the
cars. Just as he got under, the train
started, but by great effort he
threw himself out of danger just as
the hind wheels of the car passed
by, catching his coat and tearing it
off of him. 1t was foolish act conf
mitted in the heat of the moment.
He says that hereafter he will walk
around the cars even if it is a little
inconvenient.

Some of our new citizens in Porto
Rico and elsewhere are going to have
a hard time learning English. Take
the word "fast' for instance. A ''fast
day is day when a person abstains
from food and drink; a "fast young
man." is one who eats and drinks too
much; "fast horse" is one that can
trot in about 2:I7 or less; when you
speak of anything being ''tied fast"
you mean that it is immovable, or
can't get away, and Pope gives the
word another meaning when he says
"Fast by the throne obsequious fame
resides" meaning near by. There are
five different meanings to little word
of one syllable and four letters in each
case spelled and pronounced exactly
alike. We must be patient with the
poor Spaniard brought by force under
the protecting folds of the star spangl-
ed banner. Don't laugh when he
speaks of steam boat as GEL vapor."
Vapor means steam, doesn't 1t?

'Tis now that the bad boy, the
boy whose mother fears he will not

concludes that he ought to attend

start in little earlier than this, but
the average choose the first or sec
ond Sunday of December for the
purpose. Very few good people are
fooled by the old dodge. They all
know why he comes, what he comes
for and how long he will stay. Just
as soon as the Annual Christmas
tree exercises are over and the candy
and oranges given away, the Sun
day School will see the dear good
boy no more until Christmas comes
again. Did you ever notice how
the attendance at Sunday School

the meeting, the United States senator
ship is another matter. Democrats
generally recognize that they could
never vote for John Wanamaker for the
United States senate. Wanamaker dis,
appointed the Democracy of the state
in the last campaign by his failure
to come out in a bold and manly stano
for the election of George A. jerks
Had he done so, instead of giving en-
couragement to Swallow, jerks would
undoubtedly have been elected, Just as
Pattison was in the Delamater cam
paign, when the anti-Quay Republicans
burned their bridges behind them and
made brave battle for Pattson and
reform. There is but one thing for the
Wanamaker Republicans to do now,
and that is to stand by a Democrat fol
the United States senate regardless OF
the speakership of the house or any
thing else. 1t is conceded by all fail
minded Democrats that Colonel Jane.
NJ. Guffey is entitled to the Democratic
caucus nomination for the United
States senatorship. Colonel Guffey has
contributed literally of his services
time and money in many campaigns
and especially in the recent guberna.
torial canvass, for the success of Dem.
ocratic candidates and the maintenance,
of Democratic principles.
From a Democratic standpoint the
situation presents some complications.
AS the date for the organization of the
