doubted If we would ever relinguish
our hold on Cuba. but this nation
keeps its pledges as other nations do
not, and as this promise has been

they will have it in full and free

American people can be trusted
and that they will keep their
word. If they say they do not mean
conquest but to advance liberty and
Civilization they mean It, but when
the American flag is once put up it
will stay up until it's own people
haul it down. No other nation can

CONFERENCE.-THE CONTEST

GO VERNORSIfIP CONTEST
Pennsylvania republicans are en-
joying the contest, now going on be-
tween the several candidates for
governor, for delegates. In some
counties it is very warm and honors
are divided. Beaver, the home of
Senator Quay, recently treated him
to a surprise for while he professed
to be only interested in the candi-
date for representative yet the man
he was supporting was defeated and
Mr.. Quay only escaped being in
structed for Elkin by acquiescing in
the nomination Of a county ticket
to which he was opposed. Judge
Pennypacker of Philadelphia is
gaining some delegates but Mr..
Elkin has developed a growing
strength since he was turned down.
Whether he can secure sufficient to
make his nomination is as yet IN
certain. Watres Of Scranton holds
few delegates aud some think he
may have the balance Of power
with them and be able to dictate
the nomination If he cannot make
it. Andrews win probably have a
few delegates instructed for him
and at this stage Of the game it
looks as if every one would have to
be carefully counted. The Philadel-
phia Press summarizes the situation
thus One hundred seventy-three
delegates have so far been chosen
leaving 1876 to be elected. Those
elected from the best information
stand Elkin IS, Pennypaeker 10,
Watres IA, uninstruoted SO, in dis
pute 2, Mr.. Elkin lacks 05 which he
must secure out Of the 1876 60 be
nominated. The SO from Philadel-
phia, it is understood. will be for
Pennypaoker, leaving 90 TO be elect
ed in si other counties and Of these
Mr.. Elkin must secure 95 to obtain
bare majority IN the convention. II
Judge Pennypaeker secures the SO
from Philadelphia he win have l05
and must then secure 75 from the
90 outside to receive a majority. 1t
is not at'all probable that Mr. Elkin
can get 96 Of those to be elected out
side the city nor that the Judge can
get rs. Elkin win do well If he
gets half Of them aud Pennypacker
win be more than Fortunate if be
secures half, but in which event,
supposing it happens, both win be
short of the requisite number The
Judge would yet need 90 and Elkin
46 The So uninstructed would be
able to make or dictate nomina-
ton assuming they nearly al were
of one opinion, or could be united
The present aspect Of the situation
IS therefore rather misty

For them no more the canEons roar,
The riot of charge or sally;
No more they reel from the shock
of steel,
Nor thrill when the drum beats
"Rallyr I"
Low they lie in the warm earth s
breast,
Breathe not of war above them
They conquered peace and a laurel

And the whole broad land to love
them.
In lilies white, in roses bright,
Again we tell the story
OF our love and pride IN the men
who died
In the shadow of Old Glory.

Arrested for Larceny.

Charles Wirtz was arrested yes
terday and taken before Esquire
Schorr charged with the larceny Of
various articles, such as harness,
hams and machine for punching
checks, the latter from a Middle
town party and the former from
Wade Westbrook, Oscar Van Auken
and others in New Jersey He was
held in bail, failing TO give which
he was placed in the county Jail.
1t is said that the machine, locks,
meat hooks and harness we're found
in his possession, and that he sold
and offered for sale hams in the
borough and that he took at least
one lot to Middletown. Jerseymen
have been complaining recently of
depredations on their smoke houses
and it is alleged that large number
of hams and shoulders have been
purloined by some one. Wirtz, and
others who are said TO be connected
with him in the sale of meat, may
be able to explain satisfactorily how
the goods came in their possession
and they win probably have full op-
portunity to do so.

The first quarterly conference will
be held next Thursday evening.
One week from next Sabbath
morning, June LIST, DR.. Wright, the
presiding elder, will be with MS and
preach a sermon of a "memorial' -
character. We would be glad at
that time to see any old soldiers
who may find it convenient to come.
It will do us all good who were not
in the war TO be inspired again
with their heroic deeds and TO learn
some of the lessons that are taught
us by war. There Will be special
music in keeping with the service.
We desire to call attention to the
approaching quarterly conference
since the action of this conference
is of interest to ali our members.
We trust that the financial part OF
the work of the church will be we'll
considered by all and that this year
may be in advance of any previous
year. At this conference the salary
is estimated. The officials are re-
quested to say what they will give.
How can they tell unless the people
Of the church tell them? There
may be some who read this who
have not handed in their subscrip.
tions for the year. If so it will be
very pleasing TO the collectors and
the treasurer if this could be attend
ed TO before the quarterly confer
ence of next week.
A growing interest in the com.
munion service has been one of the
very pleasing features of our work
during the present pastorate. We
trust that this will continue and
that the following Sabbath will see
a large number Of communicates
coming to the spiritual feast.

WISE WORDS.

. Poison is not antidoted by golden
cup.
Men want hands more than hand
outs.
The darkness makes us prize the
dawn.
1t takes a great man to lead a small
army.
Success needs not to apologize for
Itself.
The greatest realities are the I'M
realities.
It's an i'll wind that speaks well Of
no one.
1t takes a very small fool to commit
great folly.
1t is hard to find truth without an
error In its shadow.
The powers We use as toys are I'M
fitted for use as tools.
We do not defer to-day's punishment
by to-morrow's promises.
The top wave of excitement always
mas bottom OF depression.
The world needs kindness Of heart
more than keenness of head.
A man has never failed utterly so
long as he has friends left him.
Wickedness is a plant that is most
likely to die If we cease to water 1t.
Common sense is a sort of sixth attri-
butte which will mlstrust all the others.
Look out for the honesty Of the man
who talks great deal about his honor.
A man is not thirsting for knowledge
just because he asks curious ques-
tons.
The worst cowardice is that Of the
man who does wrong for fear of being
called coward.
The fool who buries his head in the
dust has usually the impudence to de-
clare that there can be nothing d.
vine.-Ram's Horn.
