a Gre at scheme.

The Carnegie Steel Company late
" concluded the charte ring of four OF
the new style lake-ocean vessels from
the Lake Superior Po ower Company and
early in November it will send them
across the Atlantic to Wales with steel
billets and tinplate bars. This marks
the beginning of the aggressive attempt
of the Carnegie Company to invade the
markets of the world, despite the refus-
al of the railroal combination to grant
concessions in freight rates of exports
to the seaboard, and the shipments will
be the first in the history of the coun-
trv where steel has been sent from Lake
Erie ports to England without bulk
having been broken. The move vir-
tually makes Conneaut harbor, the
northern terminus of the Pittsburg,
Bessemer e. Lake Erie railroad, a port
of export in the open season.
The scheme for overcoming the obsta-
cIes placed in the way by the railroads
has largely been the result of the tire
less work of George E. .McCague, gener-
al freight agent of the Carnegie Compa-
nv. The steel company has been
watching and studying the situation for
some time, and recently negotiations for
were opened with the Lake Superior
Power Company for the chartering OF
tie Monks, Haven Paliki, Leafield and
Theana for the coming trip.
The vessels were purchased by the
mower company in England and Nor
way. where they were used in the coast
ing trade, and they were brought to
America across the Atlantic with car
goes of coal and bricks and placed in
service in the ore-carrying trade IN the
Great Lakes the past summer. A large
amount of Pittsburg capital is invested
in the power company, John Pitcairn
President of the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Company, having about So, 900, 600 In
the great plants and properties IN and
near the st. Marie canal. -,
The closing of the lake season Will
render the boats useless until next
spring, and the power company is de-
termined to send them to the Atlantic
to engage in the coasting trade until
the ice leaves the Great Lakes.
The boats will be brought to Conneaut
harbor with iron ore, and on November
5 the Carnegie Steel Company Will De
gin loading the steel billets and sheet
bars at its Conneaut docks. Each yes.
sells will be loaded with LOCO ton OF
steel. This will bring the draught to
IA feet. the limit of the locks in the
Welland Canal. The boats now build
| ing in American lake yards for the lake
ocean service will be able to carry 2,50O
tons through the canal.

APIeasant Social.

The congregation of Summit Presby-
terian church gave social in the church
on Thursday evening, Oct, II for the
purpose of meeting and becoming bet
ter acquainted with their pastor.
The weather was ideal. 1t was just
cool enough to be pleasant and nearly
full moon added much to the beauty OF
of the evening.
The crowd began to gather about 200
and by $50 the church was we'll filled.
A brief program was rendered. Rev.
Worrel sang two songs which We're
highly appreciated. Miss Vella Tinker
recited in her usual pleasing manner.
Several selections of special music were
rendered by the choir. A parody, on
Maud Muller entitled the Bloomer
Girl, written and recited by Mr.. Alex
Hays, elected storm of merited ap-
plause. At the close of the program re-
freshments were served. All seemed to
have spent very enjoyable evening
and il is not to much to say that pastor
aed people will be mutually benefited
by their coming together. l..

ceptive suggestion that he has been
bound-that the Republican party will
after defeat still have strength enough
to save the temple. 1t will be much
better not to allow the men with de-
structive tendencies so much as to lean
against the pillars.
tThe economic policies of the Repub-
lican party have been vindicated by the
remarkable and general prosperity that
has developed during Mr.. McKinley' s
administration-suc a period OF
great depression. A change of admin
istration would almost certainly renew
conditions from which we have so hap

In the course of a recent interview
in favor of the reelection of President
Mckinley, former President Harrison,
among other things, said:
His (Bryan's) election would,
think, throw governmental business
affairs into confusion. We should not
aid the election of a president who
would, admittedly, if he could. destroy
the gold standard and other things
that we value even more upon the de-

POLITICAL.

The many malicious personal attacks
on Gov. Roosevelt in his campaign
speaking ought to have the effect on
every Now York voter, Democrat or
Republican, Of causing him to vote for
Mckinley and Roosevelt on the Repub-
lican ticket simply to disown the indig-
mites heaped upon the person OF their
chief state executive and to punish the
attempted preventation of free speech.
It's sorry spectacle the old Democratic
PARTY makes of itself when it tries to
prevent an opponent from being heard.
Henry C Payne's forecast Of the COM
ing Presidential election is as follows.

The Kittaning Free Press of last
week had the following on the situation
in Armstrong Co.
Our Democratic friends would like to
place some claim on Joel Crawford, one
Of our candidates for Assembly. How
ever, such a scheme don't go in this
country, and Mr.. Crawford is one of
the old stalwar ts that owes nothing to
the Democratic party. He has always
been Republican and has never asked
for Democratic favors Twice has he
been elected Prothonotary without
Democratic aid and his party nominat-
ed him for Assembly. He asked for
the nomination and got it and is a
straight-out- Republican nominee, The
Democrats, knowing that they could not
defeat Crawford. his popularity being
such that all their abuse in past cam
paignes could not keep him down, indors-
ed him. His election was an assured
fact. Now they come around with the
baby plea; 1--WE were magnanimous
we indorsed Crawford, because we have
conceded you one member of the Leg
islature you should give us the other.
Did you ever hear of such an idea9 A
minority party conceding the majority
party one of the members of the Legis-
lature. This is new kind of magma
nimity. In fact it is burlesque. The
idea Of asking Republican to vote for
J. W. King because the Democrats in
dorsei Crawford is grotesque, They
must think the Republican party in
this country is composed Of lot of
fools to be drawn into such scheme as
this. As well might Jimmy Gallaher
ask you to give him pig because he
bought one off Republican over in
North Buffalo township last fall think
ing thereby to gain vote for Judge
Rayburn
