WILLIAMS OFFER
CAUSES TROUBLE
THE EMPERoR's ART PURCHASE
OPENS OLD CZECH TROUBLES
IN A SMALL WAY-Hls MAJ
EsTYs LOTTERY VENTURES.

Berlin. August 16-Emperor Williams
varia. Prince Luitpold, to donate $4,000
from his private purse for buying works
of art, has caused a po1iticaI commo-
tion of extraordinary proportions. 1t is
treated as a constitutional question in
volving the right of the Emperor to in
tervene in local questions of the confed-
crate states. The expression especially
objected to is his majesty's "displeasure
at the mean ingratitude displayed" by
the Bavarian diet in refusing to appro-
pirate $4,000 for art The feeling aroused
adds to to the intensity Of the discus
sion, for It was the centralists who de-
feated the appropriation out Of pique at
the ministery for not supporting DR.. R.
Won Tandman, the minister OF education,
in appointing Prof Chrousr 10 a char
in Wuerzberg university. The faculty OBJ
jected to the professor, alleging that he
was Czech. 1t was purely a Bavarian
question, but 1t instantly became an i'm
perial question through the Kaiser's tele-
gram, every newspaper IN the empire
taking sides.
Those in opposition aver that his majes-
tvs act was only one of a serioes of
steps tending to increase the prerogatives
of the emperor beyond the limits fixed
by the constitution. Certainly more than
half the countries share the emperor's
sentiments, but his majesty's defendefs
think his purpose was injudicious. Others
affirm that great deal is being made
out of IT; but Emperor Williams telegram
was merely personal expression of what
he regarded as being a slight to brother
monarch. and says that his offer was
simply an expression of his love for art.
Emperor William, a subscriber for a
hundred tickets in lottery of the friends
of art society. at $375 each, has been a
continuous winner of prizes and an ex-
PLANTATION is printed in the newspaper be-
cause of the frequency of has majesty's
name appearing as a winner on the lot
terry list of the society. 1t is pointed
out that the emperor buys one-tenth of
all tickets and the proceeds are devoted
to the purchase of art works for public
galleries.

Northampton people seem to le

ination Of DR.. shull and It is report
ed that democrats there are sayine
that now he can put up the money
to secure bis election. This Is un-
kind. Northampton may furnish
money 60 secure nominations on
elections but Monroe has always
put up the votes and they are much
safer than dollars to elect in q con-
test. The nomination Of DR. shuil
was brought about by hard work
on the part Of himself and his con
ferees Il was q fair contest and
conducted by him and them in fair
manner. He has ability, energy
and a pleasant address and if the
republicans don't beat him will
make a creditabie representative
and will perhaps be able to secure
government aid in erecting buildings
and making improvements in his
own town. He can then cry quits
with the over the mountain chaps.

DEMOoRACY DEELNED

Representative Cushman, the
thinnest man in congress, delivered
a speech before the state convention
of Washington which is a classic.
Following the speech he was nomi-
mated for his third term in congress,
and will undoubtedly be elected by
a large majority. He defined demo-
oracy as "a noun, singular in form
neuter in gender, never in the nom-
NATIVE, seldom in the possessive,
and always in the objective case. A"
He then discussed the chosen lead
ers of the democracy during the
past forty years-Buchanan, Cleye-
land and Bryan. Buchanan--who
permitted a rebellion TO tester In
the vitals of a republic and whose
last official order before he left the
White House scattered the army
and navy of the Union and trans
ported the munitions of war into re.
bellious territory so that when
Abraham Lincoln became president
he faced an armed rebellion with
bare heroic hands. Next, Grover
Cleveland. After thirty years of
strenuous, continuous and oalamit-
ous campaigning up and down a
land blessed with plenty, Cleveland
and his prophets of evil convinced
the American people that the sys-
tenn of protection was after all a
failure. The result is history

CANDIDATE FOB GOVEBNOR

CANDlDAIE FOR GO y fftNyft
The political enemies Of Judge
Pennypacker, republican candidate
for governor, admit that as a judge
he was upright and his rulings inn
partial. They conoede that he is a
learned jurist, and historian of re-
markable erudition and has led a
clean honest life, but they urge
against him that he represents the
machine and all it stands for and
is, and that that fact should dis
credit him with the people. Truth
compels the admission that his nom
ination was accomplished the night
preceding the meeting of the con
vention by a corruption of dele
gates, either by the use of specious
promises made TO the weak or of
more substantial means with those
commercially inclined. His oppon.
ents say that Judge Pennypacker
knowing this, by asserting to stand
as a candidate belittles himself to
the level of those methods and
stultifies his former record for up
rightness and independence. They
say that his declaration that Penn
sylvania has no ills worthy
of mention either proves his servil-
ity TO the bosses or establishes his
duplicity of character They over
look the fact that in the last legisla-
ture the democrats we're particeps
to the proceedings and aided by
their votes and voices in bringing
about the legislation which they
now so loudly condemn and which
Judge Pennypacker in his speeches
repudiates. A mans life long hab-
its of thought, his established char
acter, his hardly earned prestige,
his recognized honesty, his fidelity
to uprightness of conduct, must be
considered in predicting his future
actions, and in estimating the possi-
bilities of his straying from the path
he has uniformity followed. Judged
by these it is only fair to presume
that Judge Pennypaoker will con-
tinue to follow the bent of mind
trained by years of application to
careful study of the principles
which go to establish a character
for integrity and manliness, and
that he will 80 conduct himself in
the high Office of governor as to
maintain his previous unsullied
reputation to and conserve the best
interests Of the state. He is there
fore entitled to the support of his
party and of the confidence Of all
good citizens who desire the welfare
Of the commonwealth.

(by Rev 70. M. Smondl
Next Sabbath is set apart through
out tie Presbyterian church as
"itliy Day" THAT is, on this day
the church tries to reorganize its
work and begin the winters work.
The pestor is very anxious that we
should now rally our forces and get
ready for good, profitable season
OF earnest church work. The Sun.
day school scholars should come
back to, their olasses, the G. e.
members should renew their zeal
and conservation to make up for the
loss of those efficient workers whom
we are losing by removals, the La
dies Aid society should get ready
as soon as possible for their work,
and, in short, every single member
of the church should feel his or her
responsibility and act accordingly.
Let next Lords day flnd you in
your place in the sanctuary and
may the coming winter be memo
rable one in our entire church life.
We congratulate the new officers
that we're elected by the Ladies Aid
society last Wednesday evening.
Judging from the selections made
we may expect great things from
this department. of our church work.
Let no one shirk her duty to these
competent leaders.
The pastor would be very much
gratifled if an interest might be
manifested on the part of the CON
gregation in some line Of Bible
study. While he feels that he has
about all he can attend TO still the
need of comprehensive study OF
the Scriptures is so great that he
would gladly arrange to conduct a
class if one could be formed. Next
Wednesday evening at the close Of
the prayer meeting he will meet all
those Who are Interested. Give this
your earnest consideration, We
hope you may decide to join IN the
study.

tor met those who had studied the
cateohism last winter and spring
and now that work is under way
again. This class meets regularly

will be taken in the interest of the
board of ministerial relief. This is
most worthy cause and sho uld re-
ceive our hearty support. May it
be blessed to give.

siderable. 1t is q pleasure to record
our judgment that Mr.. scudder Of

forded us by inviting our society to
