There is no misunderstanding about
the position Of Senator Berry In the
course Of a recent address to the people
of Arkansas, he said
Il am opposed 70 imperialism, expan.
sion. aud to a large standing army. L
am also opposed to acquiring, either 10y
purchase or conquest, territory in the
Eastern hemisphere. If we seek TO hold
permanently and govern the Philippine
Islands, we must either govern them as
colonies or incorporate them into the
United States as "a territory or State
and make the inhabitants thereof citi-
zens of the United states, entitled 10
all the privileges of American citizens
To govern them as colonies is contrary
to the constitution of the United States
and the Declaration of independence.
and will require for all time TO come q
large standing army. On the other
hand, to bring the inhabitants in as cit
liens would be to add to our population
ten millions of people, differing ina race
and color, unused TO our ways and
methods of life, and living ten thous.
anG miles from our capital, and would
also bring them INTO direct competition
with our laboring people, and this
would, as l conceive, be not only an act
of folly, but "A crime against our own
people. For these reasons 1 think we
should deal with the people of the Phil
ippine Islands precisely as we have
promised to deal with the people of Gu
ba. can see no reason why we should
give the people OF Cuba a free aud iu-
dependent government and at the same
time hold the people of the Philippine
Islands IN subsection by military force
and intiict Gpon them the same curse of
carpet-bag government that the people
of the Southern States endured imme-
diatelY after the close of the civil war. %

Putting Expense Where 1t Belongs.

John Trudgen and John Hewlett,
poor overseers of this borough, were in
Clarion county Friday to locate a resi-
dence for a woman now in Warren
Asylum whose keeping is charged up
to this borough. They found her resi-
dence in Mahoning township, Arm
strong county, and that township will
have to pay the bill, which will amount
to 100000 or $4,000. There are four or
five others in the asylum whose keeping
is charged to this borough, but the poor
overseers, with exception of one case,
have discovered that these people never
gained a residence here and have found
the locality where they did gain resi-
dence, thus saving Reynoldsville bor-

Swift Aggregation.

The Indian foot ball team OF Reyn-

this section, at least they have not run
up against team this season that has
''scalped" them. Eight games without
defeat is not so bad. The Indians"
played at Brookvilie Friday afternoon
and although the county seat boys
would outweigh the Indians" they
could not defeat them because our team
was too swift for them. Neither team
scored in the first half, but in the sec
ond half the Indians" made IL scores
and shut the Brookville team out en-
tirely. Three of the regular players
could not go to Brookville Friday and
three Of Punxsutawney's players, who
played here Thursday, assisted the SIN
dians" to defeat Brookville.
Brookville team will play the SIN

Preparations are being made TO re-
open and operate the old Beechtree
mines which we're shut down last year.
There Is yet considerable coal to be taken
out, most all of which consists OF "pil-
lars" and "heading stumps." The mine
will give employment to about seventy
five men for several months or until the
place Is completely worked out. A
number Of the Bcechtrce houses which
have been standing vacant for some
time will be- occupied by the new men
and their families. The former opera
tors, the jefferson Coal Co., still con-
troll the place. which Is under the
supervision Of Mr.. Austin Blakeslee.
The company Is also getting things
In shape for the opening OF new mine
at Coal Glen which will tap the hills
southwest of the mine now in operation.
Surveys have been made for the build
ing OF new tram road from the new
mine TO Coal Glen tipple, IL being the In
tention to run the coal over the road, n
distance OF half mile, and save the
expense of building n new tipple. The
new opening will give access to field
Of $50 acres Of good coal and which Is
the only undeveloped piece owned by
the company in this section. After
Beechtree Is worked out IL is the inten-
tion of Superintendent Blakeslee to
transfer the working force to the new
