Kinley was endorsed! Nash's plurality
was over 10000" And as they raise the
shout, they quake and shake in their
lying souls! Mckinley (Hanna) is in
the White House. His policy of I'M
perialism was on Buckeye trial. 1t was
situation where every one who was
not for Mckinley (Hanna) was against
him. Hanna said this ON the stump
And the up-come for the hopes of Han

spells Republican Defeat for 1900.
Every vote for Jones was vote against
Imperialism. Every vote for Mclean
was vote against Imperialism. Not a
vote went to either that won't go to
Bryan next year. No truth more plain

carry Ohio by 10000. If Jones had
been out OF the way, mclean would

would have had so per cent. of the
Jones column, and the others would have

President Schurman, speaking of the
Americans spending money DO protect
the harem of the Sultan Of Sulu and to
uphold slavery, says:
1.-THE Sulu group proper contains
about 100000 inhabitants, all Moham-
medans. and TO attempt to interfere with
the religion of these people would pre-
cipitate one of the bloodiest wars in
which this country has ever been en-
gagged"
Their religion is to have plenty of
wives and continue slavery. The Re
publican party was organized to 'precipi-
tate one of the bloodiest wars" to end
slavery in America and yet now we are
fighting to restore slavery in territory
under the American flag.

WE DO NOT WISH TO LEARN.


General Alejandrino, the chief Of the
Filipino Military Commission recently
said:
"We fought Spain because we did nor
wish longer to he colony. A colonial
government under American rule would
be worse than the Spanish, because you
know nothing about the way to govern
colonies. We do not want 10 he eH-
perimented Oh for a century while You
learn how. With England it would be
another matter.
.You are auother race, and are not
in sympathy with us. We know how TO
rule our own people. We do not un-
derstand why your powerful nation
wants to crush us like insects. You can
conquer, us because YOU are rich and
our soldiers cannot fight successfully
against yours.
I'VE want an honorable peace, hut
we will fight until death for our In
stitutions.'
We do not know how to govern colo
MES. We do not want to know. 1t is
not the mission Of the Republic to gov
crn subjects, but to be governed by
the collective wisdom of all its citizens.
We have experimental" little and
have not shown that the Filipino chief
is wrong. With Otis in the Philippines
and that Ohio Republican ward-heeler
who is to go to Ponce as Governor,
what reason have we for pride?
Let us return to a Republic and give
M the dreams of Europe.

AS TO NEW YORK.

In the city, Democracy did not recede
by so much as an ell. 1t gained. The
glory goes 10 Tammany Hall, and the
credit to Richard Croker. In the coun-

money and Hills treason. Three weeks
ago The Verdict printed the treachery
of Hill. And it here reiterates that
printing; every word. The man is a

Platt Hill is still mad for a Presi-
dency: and narrow, bitter, hopeless, he

Moreover Hill will do evil for evils evil

"Just to think" said one trolley car
conductor to the writer, that the expert
ence that I'm going TO tell you about is
quite common and not u single instance.
You have a crowded car, and there is an
almost empty one not more than two rods
behind you A lady at a street corner
halls you, and you come to a stop.
" Do you go to the Park street stationY
she asks
Yes, ma'am.
"She starts TO climb on
" But, ma'am, you say, this car is
crowded, and the one just behind is going
to Park street, too, and it Is almost
empty.
" HumP says the lady scornfully as she
climbs on. But it doesn't come from the
same placep
The conductor on a Boston car was the
other day quite at loss what TO say to a
lady who said TO him. "I'm going 70 a
place that they tell me is about FIVE min
utes' walk from Massachusetts, avenue,
and l want you TO tell me where I'd better
get off. "
As Massachusetts, avenue is several
miles long, the conductor felt compelled to
ask for further information, but no more
could he get from his questioner

should not leave their common sense be-
hind them. Youths Companion.

evening. full attendance is desired
Much interest is manifested in the bill in
troduced by Senator Losch providing for the
appointment Of a Board of Control for aims
houses in counties Of 150, 600 population and
over. Four or five counties, including
Schuylkill, would be included in the scope of
this measure. This would obviate the cleo
ton of Poor Directors, and in their stead
the Governor will have the appointment of
the members of the Board of Control, who
must serve without compensation. In the
opinion of many, the peculiar conditions
that exist in this county neCessItate change
along the lines contemplated by the bill
1t is said nice game Of politics is again
being played for the succession to County
superintendent Weiss, whose three-year term
expires next May. He is a candidate for re-
election, and it is rumored that Prof. l. C
Miller, of Frackville; Prof W. f. Kutzer,
of Lewellyn and Prof Meyer, of Port
Carbon, are also candidates.
The men who should take an active
interest in the success of their party candi-
dates-who derive a livelihood from that
source, are generally the ones who must be
forced to the front.
Those who profess to know say three of
the six Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture from this county are favorable to the re-
election of Quay.

Auditor General McCauley has served
notice on the state mine inspectors that he
will not approve their expense bills until
after they have been endorsed by Robert
Brownlee, chief of the bureau of mines
Prior to the passage of the act passed by the
last legislature creating the bureau of mines
the inspectors were not subjected to supervi
sion, although they were required to make
an annual report to the internal affairs de-
partment. When Mr.. Brownlee took hold of
the bureau last spring he adopted regulations
requiring them to keep daily report of their
movements and now Major McCauley notifies
them that their bills will not be paid with
out Mr. Brownlee's endorsement.

The Hungarian residents Of Trenton, near
Park Place celebrated the wedding of Mary
Trock and Jacob Tobacco, on Sunday and
yesterday, and if all reports are true broke
the record for the consumption of intoxi-
cants. The boarding boss had ordered thirty.
two quarter barrels Of beer, eight gallons of
whIskey and eight cases of cider. This supply
gave out early, and messenger was sent to
MahanOy City for ten more quarter barrels of
beer and supply Of 'washdown." The
celebration is still in progress from last ac-
counts, and it is probable may result in ar
rests. Trenton is making an unenviable
reputation in this connection.
