TO BOOM NO CANDIDATE.
INSTRUCTIONS FROM MESSRS. PLATT
AND ODELL To DISTRICT LEADERS
DOWN TANIAIANYr' THE CRY
CONFERENCES TO-DAY

Senator Platt and GovernOr-elect Odell recent
Iy have told the Assembly district leaders in this
city to refrain from booming any particular
candidate for the Mayoralty nomination. as the
situation demanded a union candidate next fall.
and that in no circumstances must there be a
repetition of 1897 The disastrous consequences
of that campaign have apparently made a last
ing impression. The keynote at all Of the din
ners of the district associations. which are now
being held so frequently. is Down Tammanyp'
and little is said about candidates. On more
than one occasion recently Senator Platt has
assured his friends that the Republican or
ganization would do all that could be asked in
the way of uniting upon a strcng candidate.
and that he would personally be willing to sup
port Sound Money Democrat if it should seem
to be necessary.
Governor-elect Oden and state Chairman
George w. Dunn are expected at State head
quarters to-day. Mr.. OdeII. if he comes to town
from Newburg will probably attend the
XXXVth District dinner. under the direction Of
Edward Healy at MarteIli's in One-hundred-
and-twenty-ffth-s tonight He may also at
tend the Gruber dinrer. in the XXIst District,
at Colonial Hall, One-hundred d-and-hrst-st. and
Columbus-ave-
Mr. OdeH. Colonel Dunn and ex-Justice
William n. Cohen will probably have con-
ference to-day to talk over the police bills drawn
by Mr. Cohen. Mr.. Odells friends say that be-
fore the bill is introduced giving the Governor
power to remove the Police Commissioner IN
this city without charges. he wants TO satisfy
himself that il is constitutional There is no
doubt in the minds Of the leaders that Governor
OdeU will sign the organization" police bill,
whether it's features exactly coincide with his
views or not because of his alleged conviction
that something must be done toward reorganlz-
ing the Police Department in this city. Al tEe
same time. he wants bill as nearly unobjec-
tiOnable as possible.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIsuSE.I

Washington, Dec. 1S-It is possible that after
all the excitement over the cases now trial
IN the Supreme Court OF the United States to
test the doctrine that "the Constitution follows
the flag" the vital issue may not be touched
at all by the Court in making its decision At
torney- General Griggs to-day. in his mastery
presentation Of the case for the Government.
plainly pointed the way for the Court to escape
the responsibility Of deciding the momentous
questions involved. IL il so desires. The AttOr-
ney-GeneraI did this by dwelling strongly on
two important points One was that in the
Goetze case the record did not show that Goetze
is a citizen of the United States or that the
merchandise which he paid tariff duties at
New-York had not been brought from Mexico
or some other alien country to the United States
by way Of Porto Rico, and that in the Pepke
case the record did not show that the diamond
rings seized by the customs officers at Chicago
and forfeited by order of the Court as smuggled
goods were not first struggled into the Philip
pines from China or some other allen country.
The other point was dwelt upon by Attorney
General Griggs with even greater emphasis and
may possibly entirely divert the issue TO a con-
struction of the tariff law Of 1897 without refer
ence to or bearing upon the constitutional ques-
ton involved AS stated by the Attorney-Geu-
eraI the point is this;
First-That the tariff act of 1S97was intended
by Congress to classify as foreign all countries
not part Of or belonging To the United States
the time Of its passage and the subsequent
cession of the Spanish islands to the United
States did not operate to admit imports from
those islands free Of duty under that law.
Second-That the tariff act construed and
enforced violates constitutional rule Of uni

was pleased to see mention
IN your paper of dear old father
Rev. Lewis Chambers. l want
him to know, as he nears the end
of life, and awaits Gods messen-
ger to carry him Home, that a
sermon he preached in the base
ment of the M. E. Church in
McConnellsburg, has been a
blessing to me ever since heard
it. Especially has the closing
part Of the sermon been with me.
The redeemed hosts, he repre-
sented, as marching, led by the
Saviour, toward Heaven; and as
they drew near to the gates of the
City, they cried aloud, "Lift up
your heads, Dye gates; and be
ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;
and the King of glory shall come
in" The inquiry came from the
angelic hosts, "Who is this King
of glory?" And the redeemed
responded, "The Lord strong
and mighty. The Lord of hosts,
he is the King Of glory" 1 thank
God for that sermon and the man
who preached it, and hope yet to
see him before he sees "the King
in His beauty"

Charlie Mock is a son of Mr.. and

Charles Houck finished work
for VIM. Stanley, last SATURDAY..
Tuesday he went to Savanna TO
visit an aunt, after which he will
begin work for Miles Wallace.
December 1st, intending to stay
with him for year.
1--WE understand that to-day at
noon, James Glenn, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew Glenn, of this
village, will be united in marriage
to Miss Amelia Beherns, by tho
Rev. j. H. Grimm. Mr.. Glenn
is steady young farmer who is
popular with all. Miss Beherns
has for some time been engaged
with domestic duties at the home
OF f. G. Overholser. She too is
well thought of. In March they

which Mr. Glenn has rented for
the coming year. We wish them
their full share of happiness.
Thursday, November 10, at
high noon, Charles Mock and
Miss Emma Shank were united
IN marriage by Rev. Eisenbise, in
Mt. Carroll. They returned
home that day and in the evening
at the home of Jacob Myers, the
brides grandfather, the wedding
supper was served to about
thirty-tve of the nearestrelatives.
The bride wore a beautiful white
dress and the groom never an.
peared to better advantage
dressed in black. After many
useful and handsome presents
had been given, congratula-
tlons We're in order The groom
is an eastern young man, having
been here three years, and dur
ing that time worked at the home
OF Hugh Shannon and that of G.
A. Brown. The bride is the
daughter of Mrs. Ellen Shank of
south of town. They will live
with the brides mother until
spring, when they will move on
the Shank farm, three miles
southeast of town. Both have
scores of friends who extend
their best wishes. ="

withstanding the fact that the
audience was not in the most
amiable mood after so long a wait,
we believe the lecturer gave gen
eral satisfaction.
On Tuesday Mr.. Lybarger, of
Union county, reached the insti-
tute. He was brought here to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the
failure of Mr.. Murphy to appear
He had been before the insti-
tute but u very few minutes
when everybody present was sat
isfed that ''he would do" He
is scholarly and earnest, and is
doing good work.
The work done during Tues
day, both by teachers and in
structors was practical;and while
it was interesting to those pres
ent it would fill all the columns of
paper even as big as the News
if we were to attempt to tell all
that was said and done.
Suggestion: Inasmuch as the
teachers next year will not be at
any expense for music books,
would it not be well to assess
each teacher, say, fifty cents,
towards securing u stenographer
who would make a verbatim re-
port of every talk made before
the institute, and to have these
reports printed in book form and
distribute among the teachers?
Such a work would be of much
value not only to teachers, but to
directors, and to all friends Of
education in the county.
