The pine-needle industry in Oregon
Is growing, various new uses having
been found for the product These pine
needles in Oregon are much larger than
the diminutive pine leaves familiar to
residents of the East. In the far West
they grow sometimes to length of
thirty inches, the average being twenty
inches. Both the oil and fibre of the
leaves are marketed, the former being
extracted by distillation. The oil is
used in the making of soap and In the
favoring of candies, and it is said to
have some medicinal value for pulnon-
airy complaints Two qualities of fibre
are used, the one from which the oil
has not been extracted being the most
valuable, and selling at about ten cents
a pound. This fibre is elastic and may
be woven into fabrics. Mixed with hair
it is said to make an excellent material
for mattresses and pillows, while the
odor, which is retained indefinitely, is
thought to promote sleep. A curious
feature in connection with the industry
is that the trees are not injured by be-
ing denuded of their leaves, but are
rather benefited, and the Forestry Com
mission approves of the practice. Two
crops may be gathered yearly from the
trees, the second crop being larger than
the first. The Oregon factory, said to
be the only one outside of Germany, is |
to have capacity soon for 5000 pounds |
Of leaves per day. ]

Joseph A. Shirley, says the Indianap-
oplis News, has received from his son,
Foster c. Shirley, the pen used by
Aguinaldo Just before his capture. The
holder of the pen is whalebone some
what thicker than that commonly used
in this country. Instead of ending
when 1t has reached the ordinary length
the whalebone is flattened and widen
ed and carried in sweeping curve up
and back over the main part and notch
ed at the end. The penpoint is of
steel, and has stamped in it the words
fla Reina." The card ACCOMMODATING
the pen bore the following: pen used
by Emilio Aguinaldo to sign last order
issued before his capture, March 20.
1901. AS Placetta, first sergeant of the
Maccabebees, placed his revolver to
Aguinaldo's head, Aguinaldo dropped
the pen into his pocket. En- route to
Manila it was lost by Aguinaldo and
found by Placetta, who, not realizing
its value, gave 1t to First Sergeant Fos-
ter c. Shirley, Company A, 4th United

HARRISBURG LETTER.

HARRISBURG, PA, Sept. 24th.
The resignation of Ex-Governor
Pattison as Chairman of the City
Democratic committee of Philadel-
phia, was the political surprise of
the week. When that distinguish
ed citizen accepted the chairmanship
of that committee there was a good
deal of astonishment expressed by
Democrats throughout the State.
For years the Democratic organiza-
ton in Philadelphia has been afro
cious and every observing Democrat
throughout the State has known for
some time that it was simply trad
ing post for political commerce with
the Quay machine. But until the
rules were changed at the last Demo
cratic state.convention,i it was imposs-
ible to remedy the evil. Democracy is
the antithesis of revolution. To
oyerturn an organization without

of one. Now as no organization
would be better than corrupt one,
the party would be better off even if
the power to create an honest or
gauization was absent. But the
new rules of the party not only
authorizes the creation Of new or
ganization but point out the way
which is now open to Ex-Governor
Pattison and tie thousands of others
who are i'll sympathy with and sup
port of him in.the present movement
Thus we have not only got rid of
loathsome disease, not only had
dangerous cancer cut away, but we
have the wound healed and are
ready to resume work with healthy
body and confident mind. Within
few days Governor Pattison will
have Democratic committee, i'll ex-
istence, and the party will be NOV
ing forward to assured victory. 1t is
small wonder, in view of these facts
that the reform press OF the State

of the Philadelphia Democracy.
Only those who are in position to
observe at close range can appreci-
ate the vast amount of work which
Chairman Greasy and his capable
staff were obliged to perform in
order to perfect the arrangements
for this meeting. In fact this labor
has revealed not only the capability
but the unselfsh devotion to the
great cause of Democracy of Secre-
tary Shirk and Private Secretary
Sweeney, who are the Chairman's
constant supporters and assistants.
The committee is doing a vast
amount of intelligent and effective
work and the Democrats throughout
the State may justly feel encouraged
in the confidence, amply justified,
that not all opportunity to do good
for the party is being neglected. If
the local organizations do their part
as we'll as the State committee is do
ing its duty, there will be no failure
this year on account of neglect or
infdelity to the cause Of Democracy.

1t was with great difficulty that
the leaders Of the Democratic party
could restrain the late state con-
vention, and keep it from bouncing
the Ryan-Donnelly gang out of the
party and out of the convention.
THE COLUMBIAN took the position
from the first that they were trait
ors and ought to be turned out.
But for the sake of peace they were
tolerated, and committee of six
Democrats was appointed by the
convention to assist Governor Pat
tison in Philadelphia to reorganize
the party. Their efforts were a to-
tai failure. Under orders from
Ryan and Donnelly. the city con-
vention last week utterly ignored
Pattison and Guffey and Greasy,
and refused to nominate a fusion
ticket. In SO doing they obeyed
the orders of the Durham-Ash- l.
bridge mac hine, and proved them
selves the traitors that they have
long been accused of being. Gov
ernor Pattisou at once resigned as
chairman ofthe city committee, and
his action is endorsed by Col Gut
fey. They will now endeavor to
organize a new Democracy in Phil
adelphia, and by fusion with the
Union party will endeavor to over
throw the corrupt Republican ma
chine and its Democratic annex.
The Ryan-Donnelly gang should
never again be permitted to enter a
Democratic convention.

IMPRESSIVE SERMON
BY Rev. Or. Hemingway at the Presbyterian
Church, on Sunday, Sept. 9Th.


The civilized world today sympa-
thizes with the great American Re-
public as IN unuttera5le sorrow, It
mourns the loss CT its chief magistrate;
the Clean, brave and sagacious states
man, William Mckinley, whose life
has been cut off by cowardly, des-
picabe and nhuman anarchy just as
that noble life had rlpened INTO a
mellow and fruitful manhood. And
this is America, the home OF free, ln-
dependent and intelligent men; the
home of men who trace their ancestry
from Oliver Cromwell to John Brown
and Abraham Lincoln; the home of
men who one generation after another
have fallen heirs to the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution of
the United States for century and
quarter; the land where education is
tree and religion is honored; where the
right of manhood suffrage is universal
and the opportunity to remedy all
wrongs is the rightful heritage of all
manful and intelligent constituents.
Yet here, in the shadow of that tree
where liberty has come to perfect bios
soming, there is found lurking and
plotting an unhallowed brood, unfit
Tor earth, fullrlpe tor hell
External vigilance is the price of
liberty" With the increase of know
ledge and personal freedom there
comes increased responsibility to fear
God and honor law on the one hand,
and the enlarged opportunity to dis
honor the Most High and make at
tempts to destroy governments on the
other. 1t is but one step from the
sublime to the: morally monstrous in
human affairs. Under the flag of our
country the black man, born in slavery,
now free, may clasp the, hand of our
Chief Executive, while one born to
the heritage of freedoms atmosphere,
free schools and the right OF suffrage.
may learn enough anarchy to lead
him to murder man whose
greatness and goodness the world ack-
nowledges and reveres. Believe me,
it is not the intelligent negro that we
need to disfranchise or Danish; 1t is the
man'with the red flag and the dead
conscience whether he be native
American or foreign born citizen,
Perhaps at a moderate estimate
there are in free America some 20, 900
anarchists. They are for the most
part foreign born or of foreign descent.
They are divided into two schools, the
individualistic anarchists who accept
the teachings OF Marx, and the com.
munistic group, who are followers OF
Herr Most. In some particular theories
both agree. They are atheists;
they are opposed to human govern,
ments; they deny the rights of prop
erty; they do not believe in coults OF
law, nor elections, nor the civil oath,
nor the marriage vow. The only bond
which they consider binding, In all the
transactions of life is what they are
pleased toscall the contract. "Terror-
lze, burn and slay;" these are their
watch words. This is the unholy
brood that matches the adder's eggs,
whose sting Is like the flying serpents;
and the crime of it all is, that under
the name of free speech we have allow
ed 1t TO nest IN the very heart
and the vital parts of the Ma
TONS life. Triumph for moment,
in your ghoulish glee, ye minlons OF
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1901-09-26

manently, as they have rid thousands.

perdition, leap and laugh in your mad
ecstacy, as the faces of great people
blanch with temporary fear at deed
so shocking as to make them fof
moment dumb. Make your threats
and lay your plans for wilder orgies of
riot, and bacchanals of blood +! But
know ye that the giant of law is awak-
ing from his sinful sleep and criminal
indifference; and with his strong right
arm, panoplied with the power of
God, will speedily smite you with the
stroke of retribution and bitter death.
The battle is the Lords. God help
us to grid the lons of our manhood
with the girdle of righteousness!
1t seems almost incredible th1t with
in the lifetime of a middle-aged man,
SO many administrators Of human gov
ernments have been assassnated. The
Car of Russia, three Presidents of
the United States, the Prince of Servia,
the Duke OF Parma, the Prince Of
Montenegro, the President of the
French Republic, two Sultans of
Turkey, King Humbert of Italy, and
Empress Elizabeth of Austria: while
repeated attempts have been made on
the lives of VIM |, of Germany, the
late Queen of England, the King and
Queen of Spain; and men in high Of
fetal capacity, in many countries, as
Bismark, Lord I.ytton, Lord Frederick
Cavsndish, and NJ, Crispi
How shall we speak of these men
who call themselves anarchists ?
Men, did l say? Heaven save the
mark! In both intellect and heart,
they carry nothing but the base count
erieil marks of that divine manhood,
which God coined out of His own
life, and made current IN both earth
and Heaven.
But once more the execrable deeds
of these haters of mankind have shock
ed the world. The people of great
nation stand today with bowed heads
and broken hearts, as with eyes that
pierce all distance they look upon the
silent features Of their fallen lead
er. Great heart! Gods sonl brother
to all races who love liberty, and do
the truth! for the moment we are Or
phaned, and for all coming days i'm
poverished, by the untlmely stilling of
the pulses that have always throbbed
with hope and courage for the better
ment of men, and the ushering in of
Llbertys more perfect day.
His was manhood, which as a son,
and husband, brother and friend had
come to an almost perfect blossoming;
and in which as diplomat and states
man, it had reached an almost golden
zenith. Smltten with astonishment,
and bowed with sorrow that finds no
due expression, we turn for comfort to
his last brave words: Goods will, not
ours, be done," and offer as a prayer
both for our country and ourselves,
the words ne chanted with his dying
breath, "Nearer My God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee"
"My captain does not answer, his
lips are pale and still;
My Father does not feel my arm, he
has no pulse nor will
The ship is anchored safe and sound,
its voyage closed and done.
From fearful trip the victor ship, p,comes
in with object won:
Exult O Shores, and ring o bells,
but l with mournful tread
Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen,
cold and dead"

The tribute paid to the memory
of President Mckinley on the day
of his burial was such as the world
has never seen before. Memorial
services were he'd throughout the
land, and at the hour when the
casket was placed within the tomb
at Canton, all traffic ceased. Rail
road trains and trolley cars stopped
for, five minutes, vehicles also
stopped and the dense throngs on
the city streets stood still and men
took off their hats. 1t was fitting
tribute to soldier, a statesman,
and christian gentleman, who in all
the walks of life to which he had
been called, had proven faithful to
the trust. The death of President
Mckinley has cemented the people
Of this nation into one band oil law
loving patriotic American citizens,
as no event has ever done before.

The point was argued most OF the
