Harrisburg, July S1.-Governor Will
lam A. Stone has publicly congratu-
lated Farmer" Cope, whom he recent
ly appointed food and dairy commits
sioner, upon the eminent success which
has followed his efforts in the brlet
period that he has been at work in ms
department.
A marvellous exhibition of energy,
determination of purpose and practical
methods have been given by Farmer
Cope since he left his Chester county
farm to aid Governor Stone in the en-
forcemcnt of the laws against the adul-
iteration of food and the Illicit sale OF
oleomargarine.
The wisdom of the selection OF a
practical farmer and dairyman for this
position has been demonstrated con-
clusively, and the political enemies OF
Governor Stone and the Republican
organization with which he stands
have been disconnected by the aggres-
sIve campaign that Farmer Cope has
waged against the violators of the law.
THE GOVERNORS COMPLIMENT.
This is Governor Stones public tri-
lmte to Farmer Cope:
"The showing made by Dairy and
Food Commissioner Cope since he
took his Office is the best evidence
in the world that the illegal sale
of oleomargarine is to be stopped.
The cooperation of the district
attorneys Office in Philadelphia,
which Commissioner Cope tells me
he has secured will enable the
dairy and food departments agents
in that city to begin work with
degree of certainty as to speedy
trials of the cases they bring that
certainly ought to spur them on,
and | look for the crusade there to
have the effect of driving all of the
bogus butter men out of the busi-
ness. The crusade in other parts
of the state is to be conducted on
the same vigorous lines by the
state dairy and food commissioner
as in Philadelphia, and if the il
legal dealers in oleomargarine fail
to profit by the events of the past
four or five weeks and quit before
the law reaches them it will be
their own fault And the law will
reach them speedily, too. Bogus
butter has no place as an article
of food in Pennsylvania, and the
bogus butter men are being made,
and will continue to be rapidly
made to realize ii"
Now as to what Farmer Cope ha'
done, according to the records of th'
dockets of the committing magistrate!
before whom the men arrested for al
legged violations of the laws have beer
brought by Farmer Cope and hi
agents.

900, 900 to the American people /?
If the war wasn't worth 5000, 900,
600, it is not for the republican
party to explain why our expendi-
lures should not be materially re-
duced." That is straight talk and
strictly true. If the people wish
to continue reckless and eXtrava-
giant expenditures just because tax
alton produces the money, they will
continue the republican party in
power. But if they wish the gov
ernment administered on the same
economical system which rules in
every we'll conducted business eS-
tablishment, they will turn the
government over to the democratic
party, which stands for retrench-
ment in public expenditures. This
issne is not likely to be lost sight Of.

Judge Neelen, Of Wisconsin, in

Under existing laws, to heal the

A BRILLIANT JUNE WEDDING.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
Croope of Brarcreek was on Wednes-
day afternoon June goth, the scene Of
one of the most brilliant social events
of the season, when Miss Blanche
Rebecca Croope and Charles ID.
Bausch of Danville, were united in
the bonds OF holy matrimony. The
ceremony was performed in the
spacious east parlor which was hand.
somely decorated with ground pine
and daisies. A bell composed of the
same was suspended from the center
of the ceiling under which the bridal
party passed to the northeast corner
of the room, where the old family
clock, beautifully banked with daisies
and ferns, was standing its hands
pointing to the date and hour at which
the ceremony was performed. AT
exactly half-past four accompanied by
the sweet strains of the wedding march
from Lohengrin, played by Prof
Charles Heller of Berwick, the bridal
party entered the room in the follow
ing order. First came the four ushers,
Edward F. Williams of Danville,
Frank Bloss, Bruce Dietterich and
Thomas Morton OF Berwick, carrying
the white ribbon which formed the
aisle through which the bridal party
passed. Then came the groom and
best man George Croope, brother Of
the BRIDE, atiired in the conventional
black. Then the bridesmaids, Miss
Mary Croope and Miss Cathryn
Bausch sisters OF the bride and groom
respectively, who were attired in white
dotted Swiss with yellow ribbons and
who carried bouquets of yellow roses.
Preceding the bride who followed
with dignity and grace was her nephew
Allen B. Croope, who strewed her
path with roses. The bride was hand
somely gowned IN ivory satin, trim
med with liberty silk and lilies of the
valley and carried huge bouquet of
bridal roses. The impressive Episco-
pal ceremony was then performed by
the Rev. Hunter pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Berwick.
During the ceremony the organist
played "Then You'll Remember Me"
and during congratulations pealed
forth the strains of Mendelssolms we'd
ding march. After congratulations
elegant refreshments were served on
the lawn under the catership of Mrs.
Shove'in of Wllkesbarre, assisted by
corps of efficient mattresses.
The bride attired in handsome
travelling suit threw her roses from the
porch and in the confusion that follow
ed quietly slipped away through rear
door and crossing the river in row
boat, they were. met by cab which
conveyed them to Greasy Station where
they boarded south bound Pennsyl-
vania train. They intend making an
extended tour through Philadelphia,
Washington, Norfolk and Atlantic
City. Great disappointment prevail
ed when the departure was made
known and especially were they dis
appointed who had provided them
selves with an abundance of rice in
anticipation of the newly married
couple leaving on later d. l.. and
w. train.
The guests numbered about 200
and were present from Scranton,
Wilkesbarre, Nanticoke, Bloomsburg,
Danville, Tamaqua and Williamsport.
The presents were numerous and
varied and included linen, china,
silver, cut glass and furniture.

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, June 2s,

Washington, June IS, 1900.
Notwithstanding the juggling by
the republican leaders with the Vice
Presidential nomination, which
everybody saw through, the Hanna
made ticket which was nominated
at Philadelphia and the Washington
made platform adopted have evoked
not the slightest enthusiasm in
Washington, although the numeri-
cal strength OF the bread and butter
brigade at the National Capitol and
Roosevelt's considerable personal
following, led many to suppose that
there would be at least bluff made
at some sort of an enthusiastic
demonstration. About the only
hurrahs heard in Washington have
come from delegates to the conven-
ton who stopped on their way home
and those hurrahs were not the re-
suit of enthusiasm, but of whiskey
or other intoXicants. But that, OF
course. does not worry Boss Hanna
1t is Doodle, not enthusiasm, that
he relies upon to duplicate his 'o6
business.

Nothing more contradictory was
ever put into party platform than
the declarations of the republican
platform that eve endorse the adj
ministration of William Mckinley
and we favor the construction, own
ership, control and protection of an
isthmian canal by the government
Of the L. S." Mr.. McKinley's S
administration is responsible for the
Hay Pauncefote treaty, which, il
ratified, would make the carrying
out of that part of the platform an
impossibility. The Platform did
dare endorse by name the Hanna
Payne ship subsidy job, but merely
asks for Legislation which will en-.
able us to recover our former place
among the trade-carrying fleets oI
the world. " 1t is certain that
Hanna's subsidy job won't do it.

Mr.. Mckinley did not take kind
ly to the suggestion that an extra
session Of Congress be called to de-

preferred to jump head foremost
into an alliance with the imperial
governments of Europe and Japan,
and U. S. troops are now being
hurriedly sent to take part in the
invasion. If this action does not
lead to entangling foreign complica-
tions, many shrewd men will be
mistaken i'll their predictions.

Some of Boss Hanna's million
aire allies have undertaken the con-
tract of aiding the Philadelphia
ticket by steadily forcing the price
of wheat upward during the cam.
paign, for the purpose OF trying to
propitiate the disgruntled farmers
of the wheat-growing sections. This
may be good thing for those
wheat-growers who may be able to
take advantage Of it, but it will
have its risks, both for the wheat
growers and the republican ticket
If it should appear at any time to
the millionaire syndicate that they
can make more money by letting
the bottom drop out Of the scheme
than by carrying it out, they will
be apt to do it. Millionaires never
allow anything to stand in the way
of accumulating other millions.
Democrats do not lack live issues
for this campaign, and by no means
the least Of them is the extraordin-
ary extravaganza of the govern
ment under the Mckinley admins
tration. In the language of Rep
resentative Richardson, of Tenn.
the able democratic leader of the
House and Chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, '"rhe cost of running
this government has been $500, 900, :
900 more annually for the last three
years than it was before the war
with Spain was fought. 1t is a
serious question whether this vast
increase is fully warranted. Was
the war with Spain worth S9oo,-

One of the reasons for republican
alarm about the great middle west
was concisely given by Mr.. J. B.
Beal, Of Akron, Ohio, now in
Washington, when he said "The
industrial situation in some of the
manufacturing states of the middle
western states is decidedly gloomy.
The big trusts, which one hears so
much about in the East, and the
evil effects of which are felt COM
paratively little here, have been
destructive to a large number OF
factories in our section of the coun-
try. There is hardly a manufact-
uring city of any size in Ohio, In
diana or Illinois, where one or more
factories have not been closed down
on account OF the combination in
some particular line of goods. The
result has been that a good many
people have been thrown out of en-
ployment in recent months. Little
has been heard Of these matters,
because nearly everybody had been
making good money and had
enough left to support themselves
for some time, while they looked
for other employment. But great
deal of hardship has resulted. ."
