HITTING CONGRESSMEN.

The most fragrant case Of throw
down" was that of Congressman Err
nest f. Atcheson. of Washington, who
also represents part Of the Eighteenth
census district. 1t will be remembered
that Congressman Ntchcson, whose
affiliations have heretofore been with
Mr.. Quay, protested against the Quay
scheme of naming Lieutenant Colonel
James Barnett. of Washington. as the
candidate for state treasurer. He and
Barnett come from the same county
and in an interview with MI. Quay the
congressman pointed out that Barnetts
record in his home county was that
he was not a straight Republican. That
when it suited his purpose Barnett
would bolt the ticket, and on several
occasions he had contributed to Dem
ocratic success by making deals with
enemies of the Republican party.
For this frank statement Congress
man Atcheson has been thrown down
hard" and now he Is on the warpath.
In the case of Congressman Wanger
he was not allowed to name the super
visor for his congressional district, and
the same is true of other men who
have drilled with Quay and his ma
chine. OF course 1t all means that
there is trouble piline up for The old
man" for the future. He has enough
trouble now, it would almost appear.
Chairman Elllin, ex-senator "LeXOw
Andrews, Insurance Commissioner
Durham. Senator Penrose. T. Larry
Eyre and several others are building
up a new machine and are fighting
Quay on his own ground. This is a
matter of common scandal now in the
party.

AFTER GOVERNOR STONE

Governor Stone IS being denounced
all over the state by grangers and far
mers' organizations. When Thomas
Edge was a candidate for reappoint-
ment as secretary of agriculture hum
dreds of petitions from farmer organ
izations and oranges were sent to the
governor asking Edges reappoint-
ment. When the latter was turned
down Governor Stone returned him
hundreds of these petitions in the orig
inal envelopes as mailed by the far
mers. and the letters unopened. Sec
retary Edge returned these petitions
to their writer's with the following,
which is a sample letter:
Harrisburg, Pa, May 81, 1899.
Dear Sir and Brother: Permit me
through you to thank the members OF
Pomona grange. No. 30. for the kind

is an exhilaratOr.

FAVORED by an extraordinary
season of clear and bracing fall
weather, the National Export Ex-
position has reached the day of final
closing while yet in the full tide of
popular success. 1t has proved an
unfailing attraction to the amuse-
ment seeking public, as well as a
helpful aid to the vast industrial and
commercial interests which it was
primarily designed to serve. Its
managing officials have been discreet
and capable, its exhibitors enterpris-
ing and energetic, and its public
constituency amazingly large. Not
only has popular support of the Ex-
position been on scale of great
liberality, but, in addition, the quick
and powerful stimulus of its in
fluence has earned for it permanent
place among modern agencies Of
trade designed for profit and in
struction. Philadelphia Record.
