Swallow carried my county by
1,200 last year." said b. F. Meyers, of
Dauphin. "He received a large number
of Democratic votes then. He will
hardly get one Democratic vote now,
where he got seven last year. But there
will be large shrinkage in the Repub-
lican vote. The votes lost for Stone will
be divided between jerks and Swallow.
The feeling against the machine be-
cause of its miserable record, and the
factional fights, are having a good eff

seat of corruption
Il would surprise you were to name
some of the reputable business and pro-
fesional men Of Dauphin who are quiz
etly yet actively working for Mr.. jerks.
The number Of such men would also
surprise you. AS to the state generally,
believe Mr.. Jenks will poll 450, 900
Democratic votes. or enough to elect
him. The great number of independ-
ent votes he receives over that figure
will constitute handsome majority"
Ex-Congressman John B. Storm, Of
Monroe. back In the party harness with
renewed vigor, said: "Out of a popu-
lation Of 10000. of whom 1000 are vot-
ers, Monroe county will give jerks a
majority of 1000. Swallow will cut no
figure this year. I believe the honest
people are so thoroughly aroused this
year that they will effectually wipe out
that band of robbers and thieves at
Harrisburg"
GUFFEY NEVER SAW BETTER
Colonel J. M. Guffey was cheered
when the chairman called uron him. "In
this contest" he said, I'VE find a badly
divided Republican party, thoroughly
united and harmonious Democratic
party. This condition abounds in every
county of the state. The Democrats of
Pennsylvania need do but one thing In
this contest-let us be what we are.
When we analyze the Democratic vote
for the past is years, consider the fac
tional difficulties we have gone through,
and the unquestioned effect they have
had in preventing us from getting out
our full vote; then turn to the present,
perceiving no factional disputes, every
one working in the cause Of common
honesty. the outlook is indeed encour-
aging. I have never in my political ex-
perlence IOunQ the democratic OrganfZ-
alton so well aroused, united, agrees

CIVIL SERVICE
 IS LITTLE GOOD Justice Harlan Comes to the Res- cue of a West Virginia
 SpoiIsman.

Washington. May 31.-Justice Harlan to- in the cases of A. B. White, collector Of internal revenue, for the district of West Virginia against Berry Butler 6 Ruck- man, appealed from the circuit court of the United States from West Virginia The appellees were gaugers and storekcep- CTS at the Hannis distilery sn West Vir- ginia and MT White who was appointed to the office of internal revenue collector by MT. Mckinley announced his purpose to remove them and appoint republicans to their places. They resisted removal on the grounds that they were employed un- der the civil srviee law that they could not be removed except for cause shown and proved.
 In the West Virginia circuit court an or der was issued sustaining the appellees and restraining and inhibiting White from anyw;se interfering with the plaintiffs in the possesson of their offices and the dis charge of their duties.''
 It was contended on behalf of the gov. ernment that the circuit court sitting in equity as it did in the case was without Jurisdiction to entertain the suit. The opinion today accepts this view of the mat ter reverses the circuit court and does not therefore enter upon the merits of the various questions involved
 Justice Harlan said "If the assignment of some one to duty as gauger with the Hannis distillery in the place of the plaintiff did not work his removal from office a court of equity ought not to as- sume to control the discretion which the executive department has in all matters. Interference by the judicial department would lend to the utmost confusion in the management of executive affairs.

Havana. May s1.-1o D. m.-A Spanish schooner with cargo of provisions has arrived at Neuvitas from Barcelona.
 La Lucha publishes a picture of Fort McPherson and an interview which has been had by it's correspondent with Colonel De Cortijo and Surgeon Garcia Julian who were recently given up by the American warships in the exchange of prisoners. They express themselves as very grateful for the attentions of the officers in whose charge they were and also for the kindness of the American people they met. On the other hand they claim they were treated as criminals and not as army officers, which is done in other countries with pris- oners of war.
 Colonel de Co,tio says: "We were placed in cage utterly unworthy of our military ranks"
 Senor Marcus Garcia, governor of the province of Santa Clara, has been here on a visit to General Blanco, the officials of the antonomic government and the direct ors of the autonomist junta. It is reported he brought proposal for peace, which, 1t Is hoped all the insurgents will accept, thus falling into line with established order.

ALL BARCELONA
 IS SICK OF WAR
Regard the Present Conflict as a Continuation of the Cu-

London, June 1.-Advices from Barcelona to the Daily Chronicle says:
 Alongside the ironclad Numancia orders to hurry the preparations on which have just been received, lies the Covadonga of the Compania Transa tlantic line. Her masts and two tunnels have been painted black and she is ready to go to Cadiz for her armament.
 The Isla de Panay, which Is unloading, will be the next prepared, and after her will come the Jova Serra. As additional defenses at Bapcelona the Spaniards are hastily erecting six large guns, dated 1881. which have just been mounted at Barce- lona Three hundred engineers are con- structing batteries at Badalont, just under Mont Juich fortress in corner unobserv- able from the harbor. Platforms for three enormous guns were erected with all speed. The guns will cover the harbor mouth with range of 200 yards.
 All Barcelona is heartily sick of the war. The people regard It as merely continual tion of the Cuban war, which has paral- yzed business for three years.
 !. Recently the government called upon manufacturers of Barcelona voluntarily to contribute ten thousand pounds G5O,Ooo) for defense of the town. They replied that they had already paid most of the expenses or the government for the defense of Spain, and adding: ''If the Yankee admiral comes here we shall invite him to dinner

DRAG ON SPANISH RESOURCES

corres. udence of the Associated Press.
 Madrid, May 31.-Rumors afloat point to he fact that the Spaniards are weary of he war. Senor Sagasta's allusion yester- lay in congress to an honorable peace have been taken as implying Spain's willingness 10 accept the mediation of the great powers.
 Senor Romero Rob,edo promptly snap ped out: People in state of war do not talk peace, honorable or otherwise, unless they are bent that way. Seeking peace means carrying on half-hearted war;
 Senor Gamazos very blunt refusal to shoulder the responsibility for the politl- cal course of the cabinet, confining his connection herewith to the administrative functions of his portfolio-public works points in the same direction.
 Last night the correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press had conversation with very distinguished member of the Silvela party, who very candidly admitted that it would be a good thing for Spain if she were free from Cuba.
 Drag on Spanish Resources
 Cuba" he said, 'has always been drag on Spanish resources. We get nothing as a nation from it, but on the contrary 1t has dreamed us of our best blood and money. True in the old evil days, individuals made large fortunes out there, but their rapacity, greed, bad government and cruelty have brought nothing but shame on the mother country It will, therefore, be good for Spain when the last connecting link IS broken. Of course, any proposal to cut the cable will be most unpopular for this gov ernment, which has had the boldness to propose it, but sooner or later it must come to that"
 It is believed that should the powers not intervene. Spain, will under protest, to save her face, consent to Cuban indepen- dence provided the powers guarantee that islands independence from the United States. Should this come about the new Sagasta ministry, composed as it is of a very discordant element, will dissolve of itself if not assisted in that operation by the shame as well as by thSS real indigna- tion of different sections of the population.
 The way will thus be cleared for a Sil- vela ministry pledged to a policy of inter- nal reform and reconstruction.
 Foreslighted Statesman
 There is little doubt as to Senor Silvela being one of the most far-sighted and capable Spaniards in public life today In addition to his great ability he is believed to be thoroughly honest and supported by men who are anxious to purify the home administration from the blots which have made it a by-word abroad and laugh ing stock at home. Should this forecast come true a bright future may still be in store for the peninsula. A policy which puts an end to an interruption, develops her industries and commerce., while re- storing her shattered finances, may make her an acceptable ally to more than one of the great powers of Europe.
