THE CITADEL OF RING POWER.

TIL Quay candidate for governor has
been trying to mislead the public mind
with regard to the management of the
state finances under the direction of
his political creator, who has held the
key of the public chest ever since he
took control of the machine. The
charge, which cannot be denied, the
proof of which can never be botted
out, is not defalcation and robbery, but
the misuse of the public monies while
in the keeping of this organization, for
its own selfish and base purposes. The
disingenuous statement that the state
treasury holds $12,000,000, carries with
it, though unintentionally, the severest
self condemnation. 1t is the constant
habit of the ring to husband the states
resources for their own purposes often
holding back payments when they
hould be made.
The state treasury, for more than
thirty years, has been the citadel of
machine power, and every other year
it renews its iron grip, no matter what
other interests may suffer. Mr.. Quay
would rather lose any other office than
this. He Is today exacting tribute
from his fiscal agents and in indirect
ways. also, securing financial help to
maintain the power he has so shame
fully abused. But the handwriting is
on the wall. The people are aroused.
and they mean to finally break the hold
of Quayism upon the government of
this great state. Let every patriot help
on the good work.

A SHOT AT THE RING
A CIear-Headed Business Mans View
of the Situation.

Two Philadelphia business men, on
the way to their days work, were talk
ing together, and naturally the CONVEX
sation drifted to the political situation.
The first man, an Independent and
somewhat active as a reformer, ex-
pressed freely his anti-Pennypacker
views and his intention to vote for
PattiSon. The other man was a Re-
publican, and, like his friend, type of
the business man who attends to his
own affairs successfully, does his own
thinking, and, without appearing be-
fore the public, stands for what is best
in our present-day commercial and po
litical life. His words, as given by the
Record are worth quoting:
81 have not always seen my way
clear to go into these reform move
ments," he said to his companion, "for
not all reformers are as disinterested
as yourself. But 1t does seem to me
that the time has come for decent men
to line up against the gang. Those fell
lows are not true Republicans; they are
simply rascals using the party name to
feel that nothing is owing to them in
the way of party loyalty, except pun
ishment OF late we have done great
deal of talking about purifying politics;
now we have a chance to do some
thing practical, and l have arrived
at the conclusion that the only course
opeh W oeil- -iespectilS man, III lle
premises, is to vote for Pattison We
all know that he is straight and prac-
tical as WELL | believe that If he Is
put into office again we shall have real
reform. Anyway, vote for him is a
shot at the machine, and think l owe
that duty to Pennsylvania"
With a business mans hard-headed
sense. this man had grasped the vital
question involved in the present cam
paign. He was too bright to be de-
ceived by the old trick of the boodlers
in putting forth a decent man to catch
the votes of the unwary. In his mind
the case resolved itself into its true
elements - namely, Quayism versus
clean government.

New Use for Refined Paraffine Wax.

new and important use for Refined
Paraffine Wax seems to have been dis
covered by q prominent resident Of Ohio
living near Lancaster who had two
trees badly damaged by storm, one be-
ing maple and the other an apple. In
each case large limb was broken down
from the trunk, but still attached to it,.
The limbs were propped up and fasten-
ed securely with straps, very much as a
broken leg might be fastened with
splnts, and then melted refined wax
poured into and over all the cracks.
The surgical operation" was entirely
successful. The Paraf1ine prevented
the escape OF the sap, kept out the rain
and moisture which would have rotted
the trees, prevented the depredatIons Of
insects, and the limbs seem thus far to
be prefectly re-attached to the trees

danger of putting into the office of gov

Better Stick to His Apple Butter.
The Pittsburg Post shows the alb
surdity of Judge Pennypacker's posi-
tion, as follows:
Judge Pennypacker is far from clear
or candid, or even honest, in discuss
ing municipal questions as embodied
In the ripper bill, and especially their
further application by the state ad-
ministration in upsetting the good rs-
suits expected and promised by the
ripper law by restoring the tlinn-Brown
machine to power. The Republican
candidate criticises the original ripper
as Objectionable, but is silent about the
knavish methods of Stone and the gang
In perverting it to the most infamous
Jobbery in politics and legislation the
city of Pittsburg has ever seen. 1t was
this daring usurpation of power that
made the word ripper detestable.
Against it Judge Pennypacker has not

protests against what was good, or at
least excusable, in the ripper and re-
formed abuses and wrongs that were
otherwise not curative.
The judge is finding the inconven-
1ence of standing up for two radically
inconsistent and opposing lines of mu-
nicipal government. His acceptance
of the Citizens nomination, though of
a yelled character, seemed to have put
him in line with Republican reformers
and opponents of the machine gang
But on Friday night he recanted, and
as the machine organs claim, put him
self in full sympathy with their side
by denouncing the original ripper and
keeping quiet on the abuses and wrongs
that Stone, Finn and Brown have piled
on it.
"Under Quay's orders as governor he
will do precisely as Stone did. 1t will
therefore be evident to the voters of
Pennsylvania that he is not the man
to be entrusted with the responsibility
of governing this great state In one
breath he declares pennsylvania has
no political ills worth mentioning" In
another breath he tears to atoms in
the interest of the gang the most i'm
portant legislation of the last session
the Pittsburg ripper law. Through it
all he is steadfast in the belief that
Quay is a greater man than Webster
or Clay. Alas for Pennypacker! he had
best return to geography and history,
or the butter crop in Montgomery
county"

RESULT OF PLOT
OF EARL FAMILY AT
WELSH, La.
A. E. Batson, Q Hired Man Who
Worked for the Earls Arrested
in Missouri-Talks
of Crime.

Welsh La, Feb. 26.-Business has been
entirely suspended in this little town. The
murder of the six members Of the Earl
family has cast an influence over the
whole community, which makes ordinary
L. 8. Earl. father of the murdered boys,
his throat cut and the body far gone in
putrifaction. There was every evidence
that the murders were commit>>i as a
part Of pre-arranged plot.
The home of Ward Earl. three miles
from here, was some distance from that
Of his father. The evidence goes to show
that Ward Earl was first murdered and
that his father was then summoned from
his home and murdered. Mrs. Earl left a
piece of sewing on her machine in her
room when she left the house and three
children had scattered cards with which
they were playing about the floor.
When the bodies were found they had
been piled in a heap with the exception
Of L. 8. Earl, which had not been car
ried to the home of his son. The bodies
of the boys had been thrown into one
room. Wards at the bottom and upon the
heap the body of Mrs. Earl was cast.
The only probable motive which can be
conceived was robbery. Miss Maude
Earl Is in critical condition. Her mind
seems to be affected by the shock to such
an extent that she cannot realize the
extent Of the tragedy. The reported ar
rest of the suspected man in Missouri
has not been confirmed as yet The fu-
neral OF the six victims took place to-
day.

The statement that the small farmers

IVEY'S CAUSTIC REPLY
COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS AT
SITKA WRITES TART LETTER.
Pointedly Criticises Foreign Policy
Of Administration and Says His
Successor Will Arrive in
Time to Obey Orders

Washington, Feb. 26.-Some time ago
the Secretary of the Treasury received
unofficial information to the effect that
j. Ivey, Collector of Customs at Sitka.
had instructed his deputy at Unalaska not
to permit Canadian vessels presumably
about to engage in pelagic sealing to OBJ
tain supplies at that port. The collector
was informed that IL such orders had
been given they must be rescinded.
Today the department received tele-
gram from Ivey saying:
MY instructions were not against ves-
sells engaged in alleged legal seal fish
ing, but against Canadian vessels actu-
ally engaged in pelagic sealing, which Is
illegal and criminal when committed
within the marine jurisdiction of the
United States. II there is an ancient
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain by which British subjects
can commit depredations, destroying
American property and depicting our rev.
enue of tens Of thousands of dollars an
nually, while our own citizens are denied
these privileges, the sooner such treaty Is
abrogated the better. Your new collec-
tor will arrive in time to enforce your
orders.
my Americanism will not allow me to
resclnd an order which gives British sub
jects privileges within our marine ju-
rfsdiction which are denied our own peo-
pie. l have recently issued orders to the
deputy at Skaguay which have put the
Canadian officer located there out of
