Lace waistcoats trimmed with fur
are the newest fad. Fine pieces of in
.scrtion are joined together with sable
tails and worn with gray tailor gowns
and gray picture hats.
Jet is immensely popular and black
net dresses profusely covered with jet
are in the wardrobes Of all women re-
turning from Paris.
Plaid neckties are still worn and 0elts
are very elaborate, of narrow leather
embellished with smoked pearl and
steel. Belts Of oxidized steel, set with
emeralds, are also popular.
Parisians are attempting to force On
us furs treated with appliques Of col,
ored velvet. braid and jet, but they arc
not becoming favoritcs.
Sealskin coats this winter must have
the collar and cuffs lined with ermine
or white broadtail. Muffs are long, mar
row, Of velvet, trimmed with ermine
and lined with the same white fur.

shades. a blue cloth gown has the bodice

STROUD.

William, son of Samuel S. and
Anna Maria Stroud, departed this
life on Saturday last. He was born
in Washington township, Snyder
county, Pa, April Sth, 1856. He
was baptized in infancy, and in due
time confirmed member of st.
Peters Evan. Lutheran church in
Freeburg. He was married to Mary
f. Woodling. Six children survive
to mourn their loss. His vocation
was that of a farmer, but having to
contend with that treacherous disease
consumption, he labored under many
disadvantages. He was buried in
the Evergreen Cemetery. Rev. G.
ID. Druckenmiller espoke from the
words found in, the555 Psalm, 18th
verse. Deceased was aged Al yrs.,
8 months and 2 days.

little less useful to their country !;
and yet most OF these names are
known only to the antiquarian. In
any other state these men would
have found speedier recognition
and a permanent place among the
popular worthies. 1t is absurd to
talk of the traternalism of Penn
sylvanians. All the teachings of
our history give the lie to the ex-
preston. Among states we have
been slowest to recognize merit in
our own citizens, and the quickest
to tear down. 1t is to our shame
that these things are said, but there
is only folly in closing our eyes to
the truth.

The Next U. S. Senator.

We have been advocating right
along that the people of Snyder
county ought to ilaye chance to
express their choice on the U. s.
senatorial question. Senator Quay
has come to the front and will per-
NIT the people OF Snyder county to
to endorse. him or not. Senator
Quay has been charged with all the
errors and robbery Of the last Leg
islature. We know it was not
Senator Quay's wish that the mem
bers and senator's should loot the
state treasury and hence we think
Senator Quay should not be blamed
for this. Senator Quay now comes
before the people of Snyder county
to ask for the endorsement of the
people. The Republican party can
not afford to turn down Senator Quay
at this time. He is needed to main
tain and to lead the party to victory.
The Posi- has not always endorsed
what some of Quay's friends in
Snyder county and elsewhere have
done; but 1t courageously exposed
any wrong doing it found worthy
of serious condemnation. In all of
Senator Quay's personal battles the
Posi- has been with the Senator.
The Posi- opposed the election of
Boies Penrosc, because it believed
that John Wanamaker is better quail
ifed for the necessities of the hour.
Senator Quay is peerless leader, a
shrewd legislator and successful
leader of men. We admire the
pluck of Senator Quay in coming
right before the people and allowing
l, them to EXPIRE theirss choice directly
1t is the only way to get fair ex-
preston of the peoples choice, and
we believe that Senator Quay will
succeed himself as u. S Senator.

Republican Rules.

The Republican party of Snyder
county now has something it never
has had bctore-dcfnite rules for
its government and for the regula-
ton of the Primary elections. Some
one rule or other was adopted from
time to time and placed alpon the
minutes. No one outside of the
committee ever found anything out
about it and very few committee
men remembered it. The accom-
plishment of this result was no easy
matter as those who want no rules
opposed them from first to last.
When we went upon the Com
mittee year ago, we felt the need
of definite rules and at once cxerted
our efforts in that direction. A mo-
ton prevailed at the September
meeting to appoint a committee to
draft rules and regulations for the
government of the Standing Com
mittee and the holding Of Primary
Elections. The Editor of the PosT
was made chairman Of the commit
tee and B. f. Arbogast of Mt.
Pleasant Mills and T. A. Wagner
of Mcclure were the colleagues Sc
lected for the work. The commit
tee made its report Jan. 18th and
those opposed to the rules had them
tabled for want of time, but with
the understanding that they should
be carefully considered Jan. 10th.
They came up tor consideration
on Saturday. The first obstruction

Snap Elections.
the truth

At a meeting of the members OF
Republican Standing Committee it
was decided to hold the Primary
Election on Saturday, January 20,
giving candidates but few weeks
time to see their friends. A great
deal of dissatisfaction has been Great
ed among Republicans as it gives
little or no chance to those who have
but recently decided to run for Of
fee. There is no occasion for such
haste, and it has tendency to in
crease the Independent spirit exist
ing in many voters, who will not
sanction snap elections and be led
by bosses. The action of the Com
mittee is in the direction of the dan
gerous policy, and the Courier will
not hesitate to protest against any
method that will deprive any MEM
ber of the party of his political
rights and abridge his aspiration for
office, nor the party its voice in the
selection of candidates for whom it
is to vote. A fair, square deal all
around is what is wanted, and moth
ing less.-Freebury Courier.

SNYDER.

The wife of Henry Snyder, Of
Middlecreek township, died on Fri
day, January Z, and the remains
were inferred at Rows church on
Tuesday. She departed this life
after two weeks illness. She was
esteemed by a large circle of friends
as was shown by the large concourse
of people who assembled to pay their
last sad tribute of respect. She was
aged 56 years, 5 months and day.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. II. &. Snable.-CoWicr.

the consideration of the rules met
was motion Of Peter Reigel, who
offered an amendment to have
Smull's Legislative Hand Book
read on the subject Of Primary cleo
tions. The amendment failed.
Quite a number Of rules had been
adopted when F. H. Smith of Sc
linsgrove moved that the entire lot
of rules be stricken out. The chair
man ruled the motion out of order.
The ball started again. Several
sections were then adopted when
Peter Reigel made motion to dis
continue the reading of the report.
The motion was lost. The rules
were then nearly all adopted and
being near the end, our work was
soon completed and the new rules
adopted.
1.-The rules are clean and correct.
We appeal to the intelligence and
good Judgment of our readers. We
publish them. Examine them and
ask yourself the question, why
should there be organized opposition
to these rules. There were some
differences of opinion concerning
special provisions, but that was nat
ural. Why there should be oppo-
sitiOn to the rules as a whole we can
not understand.
> We say to all who so faithfully
supported these rules that you de-
serve the thanks of the people you
represent. The Republican party
of Snyder county now has definite
rules and we do not take the credit
upon ourself but the credit belongs
to every member of the Standing
Committee that supported the care
full consideration of all and every
rule offered by the committee.

has doubtless heard Democrats re-
mark that if Delemater had been
elected Governor he would have
tided over his financial difficulties.
1t is safe to say, however, that such
a thought was never expressed by
them in regard to the financial col
lapse of William Singerly, the Dem
