Mr.. Chew, of Philadelphia, is the last
man to throw a disturbing influence
about the peaceful dreams of the dem
izens of halcyon Harrisburg. Mr. Chew
presented a bill in the house yesterday
looking to the removal of the state
capitol from Harrisburg to Philadel-
phia in the year 1901. The good cit
liens of Harrisburg have been rather
quiet since the closing Of DR.. Swal-

to have a blurred half-tone picture be-
fore the public rather than have the
features made to look like a rogue's
gallery subject by the various pro-
cesses of making newspaper cuts on

SPANISH GUN
From Santiago win Arrive About
July 1st.

At a meeting ef the Board of Direc-
tors of the Board of Trade, it was decid-
ed to have demonstration greater than
ever before held in Highland county on
the Fourth of July. This is our great
national holiday and the anniversary Of
the capture Of Santiago by the Ameri-
can forces. 1t is also intended to have
the official reception Of the Spanish
Cannon, which Hillsboro was fortunate
to secure on that day. The celebration
should be in proper manner or not at
all. 1t is proposed to have two OF the
best speakers in the country. At least a
$1,000 display of fire works. Parades Of
X. of P. Woodmen, G.. A. R, and all
organizations that will participate. Three
brass bands. In order to make the
undertaking success it will take money
and committee will call on our citi-
zens for subscriptions, which will hav Q
to be liberal or there is no use attempt
ing to do anything. The notice is very
short and all must act promptly. Be
prompt and liberal or nothing can be
done.

enough to write anything. His ability

crowd of disgruntled politicians, though
small at first, is growing smaller all the
time and Democratic aid and sympathy
is not sufficient to sustain. The Repub-
licans of the county are we'll acquainted
with their object and their work against

ocrats can continue to use them as tools
if they are of any value, but in their
present Insignificant position they are of
little help to anybody. Their continued
blackguardism is laughed at by those
against whom they vent their childish
spite and they only make clear to the
public the superiority of the persons
who have always dealt fair with the Re-
publican party.

Council Meeting.

A special meeting of Council was held
Monday evening to consider the grant
ing of franchise to the Greenfield
Home Telephone Company. Durnell,
Smith, Sanderson, Hibben and Parks
present. Utman absent. Clerk being
absent Mr.. Sanderson was made clerk
pro tenn.
On behalf of the Greenfield gentlemen
Mr.. Stanley Pike addressed Council and
asked that the ordinance they had pre-.
pared be passed. He told what the
Home Telephone Company had done in
Greenfield, scored the Bell company and
incidentally took shot at the gentle.
men who had secured franchise from
Council several months ago to build an
independent company here. From their
talk before the meeting the members of
Council supposed all they wanted was
permission to establish a toll station
here, but the ordinance they offered was
for telephone exchange. On motion
the Solicitor was instructed to prepare
an ordinance to be presented at the next
meeting, giving permission for toll
station. While this was what they
claimed to have wanted, they were not
suited and stated II Council did not
pass the ordinance as presented to them
they would probably never appear be-
fore them at another time. OF course
the Council of Hillsboro would hate for
these gentlemen not to come back. This
would be too bad.
r. B. Nevin asked for the vacating OF
an alley. 1t was left till next meeting.

The Investigation.

The Y. s. in lying editorial attempts
to twist the meaning OF short editorial
in the NEws-HERALD last week referring
to the investigation now in progress at
the Court House. We have nothing to
take back, but whenever shown to be
wrong will cheerfully do 30. The inves-
tigati on is costing the people of High
land county SO day and has been
every day they worked since January
II, 1899. That is little over FIVE months
ago and the committee seem no nearer
a report than they did the day they
were appointed. During this time we
are reliably informed they claim to have
worked eighty-four days. This would
make the taxpayers owe them. $40.
$s4O and not sign of a report, only oc-
cssionsl notices that it is progressing
quietly" Why shouldn't it "be going on
quietly" when each of the investigators
are receiving dollar an hour for their
work. And the work is not very hard
either, the way it is being done. How
many farmers are making a dollar an
hour? You are paying two men this
sum on the order of Democratic Pro-
bate Judge. We do not care to accuse
Mr.. Duckwall or Mr.. Daisley of uselessly
prolonging the investigation for the
small sum OF one dollar an hour for five
hours each day. They are simply doing
as they are ordered by Judge Hughes.
They were appointed by him, work un-
der his direction, and If either of them
should as much as whisper what is 20.
ing on would be summarily removed.
Any attempt to lay the blame on either
of the investigators would be folly No
one blames Mr.. Daisley or DIR. Duckwall
for drawing $40 day from the county
treasury. If they did not, someone else
could be found willing to undertake the
job, draw the $40 day or 81 an hour
and work as Judge Hughes directs.
They are simply obeying orders and will
report whenever the Democratic poll.
ticians think they can make some cam.
palen material out OF the report.
If the committee have been unable to
find anything wrong with the county
records after working FIVE months and
drawing $40, they should quit and say
80. OF course good soldier must obey
orders, and that is the only reason that
can be offered. Az the time of the ap-
pointmeDt of the committee a News.

Hughes, wrote out the interview and
had it submitted to him for correction.

the Regular Army, Appointed Colonel
of the Twcnty- Sixth Regiment.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The order di-
recting the enlistment of ten new regi'
ments of volunteer infantry was issued
today. The order was draf'ed after a
conference yesterday afternoon between
the president and Adjutant General
Corbin, and directs the recruiting Off
GERS to enlist men under the law passed
March 2, 1899. These regiments are to
be numbered from 90 to 35, thus retain
ing the continuity of the present infan-
try organization.
Senator McLaurin Of South Carolina
was at the White House in the interest
of some applicants for commissions in
the new military organization. He was
given to understand that the president
would apportion the officers for the new
regiments among the several states in
the proportion of captain and first
lieutenant for each state, irrespective OF
politics.
The higher officers, as has already
| been intimated, are to be taken largely
from the regular establishment. 1t is
understood that strong effort will be
made to reserve the second leutenan-
cies for the non commissioned officers
who have made good records in active

MAGNATES ESEXPLAINED.
Street Car Employees Notified
at Cleveland.
COMPANY KrPT THE AGREEMENT.
The Mems Committee Convinced That
the Company Was Fulfilling Its Pledges
as Rapidly as Possible Strike Is Not
Likely to BE Renewed.

CLEVELAND, July 6.-Through the
mediation of the special committee that
settled the recent street railway strike
a conference was held by officers of the
Big Consolidated company and COM
mittee of their employees. The latter
were of the opinion that the company
was not living up to the agreement
which ended the strike and had made
complaint to the special committee.
The matter was talked over behind
closed doors and the employees were
given such explanations as convinced
them that the company was fulfilling
the agreement as rapidly as possible.
There is little possibility of renewal
of the strike which has been threatened
by certain radical members of the union.
