the United States senate on the con-
frmation of the treaty.
The president has taken the ground
that by the time the present con-
gress convenes matters will have set
tied down, and the way of making
fair adjustment of many difficulties
will begin to be indicated. The presl.
dent will send in his message and con-
gress have to provide for the local
government of our newly acquired ter
ritories. The question is not involved
in any more difficulties than were sue
cessfully disposed of in the settlement
of issues bearing upon the regulation
of previously acquired territory. In the
solution of these complicated and grave
questions the experience and knowl-
edge of the president and the conf
dence which he inspires in the coun-
try, regardless of party, will be an i'm
portant il not dominant factor iI

MKINLEY'S STRONG QUALITIES.
President Mckinley has had long
and remarkable experience in public
affairs. His familiarity with the tariff
and the commercial conditions of the
country and the recent questions of in
ternational character give him an
equipment unsurpassed by any other
American. He possesses an executive
capacity of a high order and tact and
acumen, as the result of long practical
political training. The best evidence
of these qualities is shown by the fact
that, unlike many other presidents,
he has his party unanimously at his
back, undivided by serious dissension
and retaining its supremacy in the
country when most administrations
have found their party in the minority
in the middle of presidential term,
at least in the house of representatives.
"In Pennsylvania Mckinley has
deep rooted strength with the mass of
the people. That strength has been
steadily increasing. Everything points
to hard struggle and an ultimate Re-
publican victory in the next presi-
Dental campaign. There can be but
one Republican candidate considered
and that is Mckinley. His candidacy
will be the logical consequence of the
wonderful prosperity ALREADY acquired
and the glorious possibilities within
our reach. The country will need his
tried craftsmanship in meeting the
great issues of the future. With Nc
Kinley reelected and Republican
majority in congress our people can be
assured of the realization of the splen-
did career opening before us.
Il have been in contact with repre-
sentative Republicans from every Sec
tion of our state, and have found but
one sentiment, and that is in favor of
the denomination of the president. l
hope to be a delegate to the coming
Republican state convention, and /
shall earnestly support plank in the
platform which will not only give ex-
preston to the unanimous views Of
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, in
dorsing the course of the administra-
tion, but which declares emphatically
in favor of President McKinley's re-
nomination. AS a matter of fact, |
have no doubt that the delegates to the
next Republican national convention
from this state will be earnestly and
unanimously in favor of his renomina-
tion -

A FINANCIAL CRISIS.
The Climax Was Forced by Reient-
less Slot Gas Meter.

less Slot GAS Meter.
And the slot meter, with its joshing
clothes ON, can turn some awfully cmbar-
RAISING tricks. Now there is young man
living in nice little fat not far from
Park avenue, and he had one of the slot
meters put in because he holds that it is
better to pay for everything as you go and
then you know where you stand. For a
month past the young man has been run
ming close to the wind financially and
economy of the strictcst sort has been his
watchword Also the young mans wife,
being woman of understanding, has cut
expenses down to the minimum. Last
Friday the young man expected to make
a raise down town during the day, but the
man he expected to meet disappointed
him, so he went home without cent in
his clothes, and, to make matters worse,
there was no money in the house.
Nothing Of the financial crisis in this
household appeared on the surface, how
ever. The fiat is handsomely furnished,
and when some friends to the number of
half dozen called Friday evening every
thing looked prosperous. The host and
hostess were both smiling as young folks
will smile through advcrsity, and matters
were drifting along right merrily until the
gas went out.
AT that instant the young man realized
with horror that there wasn't penny in
the house and that the sum of % cents
wherewith to propitiatc the god of the gas
house was an imperative necessity.
MY dear, he said tremulously-'er-
have you "A quarter in changer"
GOOD gracious, Charlic!" gasped the
lady somewhat Historically, but still with
great presence Of mind. "There isn't q
thing in the house but q $40 bill" "
1--WE got some change" said one of the
visitors, forking out "A handful of silver.
"All right, said the young man. IN
skin out and get the $40 broken after
awhile" The borrowed quarter went into
the slot, the gas burned once more, and,
In the hilarity that cnsucd, further refer
ence to that quarter was studiously ia
booed.-Minneapolis Journal

Life on an East Indiaman.

There was never a finer ship afloat than
the East Indiaman from, say, 1900 down
to the last of them, such as the Earl of
Balcarrcs. Those old East Indiamen were
exceedingly comfortable ships-liberally
found and handsomely furnished. 1t is u
question whether passengers grew more
weary of the ocean after four months salt
water to Bombay and Calcutta than do
travellers in these times after six days of
the Atlantic or little more than month
to New Zealand. People of old when
they went to sea in an Indiaman, knew
what they had to expect They danced
1irted, sang, talked scandal, quarreled
and made it up, and often the young peo-
pie got engaged to be married. All the
after part of the ship was a village full of
people more or less good humored. CLARK

The committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows:
"The Republicans of Cumberland
county, in convention assembled, do
hereby affirm the principles enunciated
in the platform adopted by the nation
al Republican convention in 1896,
Resolved, That we most heartily
indorse the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, which has brought
prosperity to the whole nation and has
elevated the standing of America
among the nations of the world.
THAT we express our admiration for
and our sense of gratitude to the Amer
ican soldier and sailor for the gallant
ry and patriotism which they display
ed in the recent war wiCn Spain and
for the heroism which has marked
their advance in the far east.
THAT we indorse the state admin
istration and commend the action of
Governor Stone in appointing Matthew
Stanley Quay United States senator.
Resolved, further, That we recon-
mend to our delegates this day elect
ed TO aid and assist in selecting at the
state convention nominees for the Of
fees to be selected at that convention
which will best aid in harmonizing the
party"
The resolutions were adopted by ac-
clamation.
The Republicans of Fayette county
held their primaries on Saturday last

ried everything before them. C. B.
Freed, DR.. L. F. Arensburg, Charles F.
Smith and George F. Titlow were elect

ELKIN is DELIGHTED.
chairman JOnn L. Elkln, OF the he
publican state committee, seems to be
delighted with the news that comes to
him from the several counties.
"The Republicans of Pennsylvania,
remarked the state chairman, "seem
to be thoroughly acquainted with the
political situation, and they propose to
sustain the party organization and the
men who have stood for the principles
OF the party, rather than the selfish
interests of a few men with political
ambitions The Republican state con-
vention will give expression to the
will of the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania without dictation or interfer-
ence from any one. The reports that
this man or that man has been slated
for this or that office are absolutely
without foundation of fact. These stor-
les are on par with the reports that
were sent out affecting the actions OF
members of the legislature who de-
clined to be Influenced or intimidated
by certain interests. There is free
for-all contest for the several nomina-
tions to be made by the Republican
state convention, and the nominees
of that body will be triumphantly
elected"

In an interesting paper recently pub
lished on the value of sugar as food, as
compared with fat, NJ. Auguste Chauveau
maintains that its nutritive value is con-
siderably higher than that deduccd from
its heat of combustion, and that the cal
culation that 0.756 pound of the former is
equal to one pound of the latter is in many
cases exceeded. The increase in relative
nutritive value is due largely to the fact
that sugar promotes assimilation of the
protoids and reduces assimilation, and
the value of a food must necessarily de-
pend not only upon the energy it is capa-
BILE of supplying, but also on the indirect
influence that it is capable of exerting in
the renewal and formation of animal tis-
sue. From whatever point Of view the
matter is regarded the superiority of sug-
ar over fat as food, whether for men at
rest or at work, is very distinct

way Of getting road was by cutting
through mountains. The point selected
for the start was 800 or 600 feet below the
top of the stono cliff, and men were let
down in baskets suspended by ropes, and
from such shaky stations they drilled holes
In tho rock and filled them with charges

constructed along this prccipitous ledge,
