The President Knows That the Maine
Was Torpedoed.

Tho President Knows That The Maine
Was Torpedoed.
New York. March 1.-THE Army and
Navy Register, In its issue of to-day.
says: The Register is in possession of
information, the correctness of which it
has no reason to question. that certain
evidence gathered by the court of in
quiry at Havana has come in a semi
official form to the president from two
prominent members of the board The
information has been in the hands of
the president since Sunday and has
served to occasion unusual activity dur
ing the past week.
The information is that the Maine
was destroyed by government sub
marine mine, planted in Havana har-
Dor and deliberately exploded. More
than this, IL appears the Maine was
purposeIy mored in the vicinity Of the
mine and that the explosion occurred
at the moment when the ship had been
OPPORTUNITY carried by wind and tide
directly over the mine. These facts
have been limited at and written about
in dispatches from Havana, Madrid
and Washington, and among the varied
statements made the actual conditions
have been touched upon, but nothing
has been permitted to es-
cape from the court.
There can be but one outcome of such
a report, and preparations for the in
eyitable result are being industriously
and indefatigably prosecuted. The
work of the week, related in detail else
where in this issue, shows that the gov
al Washington appreciates the
situation and will be ready to meet
what has now ceased to be a mere emer-
sency

Claude Smith for Assembly.


Claude Smith should be supported by
every miner, laborer and farmer In
Jefferson county For many years the
legislature OF Pennsylvania has been
composed almost entirely Of lawyers,
doctors and editors, BY accident, or
the mistakes Of the politicians farmer
may once in long time become MEM
Der: but the laborer so seldom that he
may be said to be not at all.
Most Of these professional men do not
care at all for the laborer-except to
get his vote, and the few who honestly
want to help him don't know what we
want.
For the last fourteen years jefferson
county has been represented, or misrep-
resented. in the Legislature by profess
sional men. This state of things is our
own fault, for there are miners and la
borers enough in the county to elect any
man to any place.
From the time Claude Smith was fif-
teen years old he has earned his bread
by the sweat OF his brow. He knows
what we want, and what we ought to
have. He was not nominated by any
ring, and is free to act in our interest
without asking his political bosses what
they want him to do. He is opposed by
a lawyer who knows very little about us
and cares less.
If the miners and laborers don't elect
ever have the face to stand up and say
that we do not get our rights from the
lawmakers. A LABoRING MAN.

Hot Stuff.

AS matter Of course the American
army was not in Porto Rico long before
it began to look for something to drink.
The soldiers found liquor for sale in
every store, but it was in most cases
Porto Rico rum, which is distilled from
sugar cane, and is commercial product
Of the island. Those who were athirst
tackled the rum-boldly at first, but
charity afterwards.
One of the boys relates the experience
of companion who called for drink in
store where the liquor was sold. The
native merchant poured out generous
glass of rum, and the soldier tossed it
of as he would so much corn whiskey.
But the effect was different. The fiery
liquid burned all the way down like so
much molten lead, and contiued to siz-
zle in the bottom Of the soldiers stom-
ach. He clawed the air frantically.
danced juber, and choked and gasped
until only the whites of his eyes were
visible. His first articulation after he
had recovered his breath little was a
hoarse appeal for water, which the ma
tive finally produced after he could be
made to understand that it was neces-
sary adjunct.
81 brought back bottle of that Porto
Rico rum said returned soldier, "for
the special benefit of friend who is a
connoisseur on liquor. I never knew
him to take drink but what he would
first taste the contents Of his glass, crit
ically, and declare that the liquor had
been watered. I'm anxious to see IL
he'll say that rum is watered after he
takes a swallow."-Brockwayville Rec

Porto Rican Editors Opinion.

In its issue of September 26th. 1898,
the LA Nueva Era" published at
Ponce, Porto Rico, says:
"The most that can happen Is that
one hundred or two hundred thousand
Americans of the United States, attract
ed by the beauty of the country, the
mildness of the climate, and the hos
pitable and attractive character of the
Portoriquenians may come in search Of
their particular fortunes and to cooper
ate in the development of our agricult-
ural, industrial and commercial riches:
and far from seeing in this peril, we
would see Il benefit for the country,
which would profit by the concourse of
active and enterprising men, accustomed
to life of what is right and of liberty.
as well as the highest respect for the
laws.
Such immigration would be highly
beneficial to Porto Rico, the ethnologi-
cal conditions OF which in course Of
time, would improve considerably by
intermarriages between the old and the
new race; fact which always brings as
a result an equilibrated type, most ia
vorable for the diverse phases of the
progress, and the legitimate purposes
of human activity.
Besides the natural motives, owing to
the small extent of the island there is,
that In it, the immigration may not ex-
ceed certain limits, for we have to cal
culate that il is not the same to go from
one territory to another situated in the
same continent, as to go from that con-
tinent to an island situated at certain
distance. From what we have said is
inferred that the fears of absorption
and predomination may be qualified rs
ridiculous as we'll as puerile, when once
the general laws which bind together
the states of the American Union are
in full operation here.
The Great Republic has two great
interests here, which constitute their
principal motives for action.
One is the interest OF glory and OF at
traction, to demonstrate that their in
stimtions are the best bond to unite in
timately and fraternally the people
without the necessity Of dominating
them by arguments lad terrorem." The
example Of what they will do in Porto
Rico, II as we expect it, meets with
good and great success, their labors in
this island, and the logical deduction
that from that success will be derived,
will be Of irresistible force for the ul-
terror aggrandizement Of a Republic,
which from its foundation has never
seen its flag humiliated, and that no
where protects other ideals than those
OF right and liberty.
The other interest is that of increas-
ing here great riches that at the same
time that it distributes among the in
habitants an ample welfare, may extend
the sphere of action of the industries
and commerce OF the Americans, with
out taking any undue advantage, pursu-
ing policy Of reciprocal and harmon
ious interests. 1t is obvious to say the
great profits that our island will derive" I"
