ma SSf PBO BIE OB In Ctrtmlatlau fa the Conmj DIANA, PA-i MABCH 1894 TBIEHBS WABT IT THIS WAY. I Msolutiori of the Eepnblican ommittee, fixing the number -which candidates for at the approaching pri- shall be announced, de' terminlng what fees the candidates for several offices shall pay for their announcements, and dividing the gross sum out among the Republican Chairman of the County. Committee, assumes too much. it The candidates should be permitted to the matter of compensation -with fhe newspapers as they -would saxy other business transaction. The action of the committee is obnoxious in a business sense and emphatically impolitic and un-American.

'We had thought to disregard the action of the committee in its attempt to conduct our business, and treat with the candi- dates for their announcements as individuals. All the candidates we lave talked to on the subject condemned the action of the committee as nnwise, arbitrary and exceeding its prerogatives, and a number authorized OB to print their, announcements in the MESSENGEE. Some others, while heartily endorsing our views of the situation in strong language, hesitate to give us their announcements lest they thereby incur the'censure of the members of the committee, and we have been strongly urged to forego our intention to ignore the committee's ultimatum. Among these latter are some of the oldest and warmest friends of the MESSENGER At their solicitation, and in order to not cause any discord in the counsels of the party, we iave concluded (though the announcements now filed for publication in the MESSENSEB would pay us more than we-will receive from the committee,) to set aside our personal feelings in the matter and accept announcements from the Chairman of the Committee, for this time. By so doing we feel we will save many of our warm supporters and friends from serious political embarrassment.

But our opinion of the committee's is changed, and we feel that it has'exceeded its powers. They might, with the same propriety, say that the candidates shall patronize only certain livery stables, and that the proprietors of said stables shall charge only such rates as the commit, tee shall prescribe. There is too much Appearance of bossism about the scheme and the sooner it is abandoned the letter it will be for the party. In the candidates who pay their announcement fees to the Chairman of the County Committee be announced in the MESSENGER, A -WOBKIKGMAN buys a home. He pays some money and gives a mortgage.

Free trade follows. Goods become cheaper. "Wages are reduced. Is the workingman's debt lessened? Not at alL On the contrary, it is increased. He will have to work more days to pay the mortgage.

Perhaps ie will not have any work at all. Two Ohio men in Maasilon are trying to get up a march of the unemployed to Washington, and they may succeed. But it is doubtful -whether the sight of a million unemployed laboring men irom the North would move the rebel brigadiers in charge of the Wilson bill. It is their intention, to pass a free trade bill for two help the and to cripple the North. The more Northern men they can throw out of work, the better will they be satisfied.

MB. MEREDITH, a member of Con- gresslirom "Virginia, openly boasted in the House last Friday that there were no loyal men in the State and he was proud of it. It was brought out after the assertion that no one but negroes drew pensions in Virginia. A Republican member interrupted him with the remark that none but negroes had been loyal there, and then Meredith answered with the boast given above. Mr.

Meredith is a blustering fire- eater, who lives a generation too late. He should have been in Congress just before the war, when such braggards as he were regarded as the highest type of Southern chivalry. His speech was simply disgraceful. He jeered at flie "Union soldiers and said that 800,000 rebels had withstood more than 3,000,000 of Northern troops and that from the size of the pension rolls it looked as though each rebel had killed one Union man and wounded three EX-PKESIDEOT HABBBOIT'S readiness in off-hand speeckmaking has been exhibited again on his journey ltvjthe West, in the course of which people at various stations, much to his surprise, have insisted on calling lout In one of these little speech- sheTeferred to the principles which he "I to put into practice during official term, and added: "I do Jt £hink just now that those pnnci- i need the tongue of an advo- irience is making an arga- i "of the American aence the-most the eyes of thousands who a year" ago last fell. The snlts of this tuition will be made evident when the returns come in on the 6th of next November.

OVEE one hundred delegates'have already been instructed for General Hastings for the Republican Gubernatorial nomination. By the middle of this month it is expected that he will have a majority of the delegates. Juuus KJESLEE, of Baltimore, appeared at the White House on Monday to take charge of that building "in obedience to divine revelation." He didn't present any credentials but commenced immediately to act as boss, until arrested. The other crank who usually occupies the White House was off shooting ducks at the time. WABHESGTOH LETTEB.

OnrBegnlar 12,1894. The tariff fight between the Democratic free traders and the Democratic protectionists having been won by the latter, the battle is now temporarily transfered to the full Senate committee on Finance. There are eleven members of this committee, sis Democrats and five Republicans, but one of the of North away. If the Democrats can succeed in putting a substitute for Vance on the will probably make the attempt this week, unless they can get Vance to come will have a majority oJ one; otherwise the committee will stand a tie politically, and nothing can be done without consent of at least one Republican. The first contest of the committee will be over the time that will be devoted to the considers turn of the committee, the Democrats desiring to report the bill at once and the Republicans to go over it section by section, pointing out its defects and offering amendmedts to remedy them.

The Republicans generally regard the protection which the revised bill gives to coal, iron ore, sugar and lead ore in the light of defects, because they are clearly discriminations made merely to get enough votes to pass the bill, and only serve to bring out more distinctly, the injustice of the rest of the bill. The Republicans are fortunate in the makeup of their side of the Finance committee. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to select five men as well qualified in every respect to do battle for Republican principles as are Senators, Morrill, of Sherman, of Ohio; Jones, of Allison, of Iowa, Aldrich, of Rhode Island. If they do not accomplish anything it will be simply because nothing can be accomplished. It is not yet certain-that the revised bill can be passed by the Senate notwithstanding the concesssions made to the kickers, although, of course, the probabilities are decidedly in its favor; bnt there remains several elements pi doubt either of which may result in defeating the hill.

Two of the Popu- and declared their intentions to vote against it and the votes of Senators Hill and Murphy are not assured for the bill; but even with the loss of those votes it is still possible for the Democrats to pass the bill, if Kyle votes with them, and it is understood that he will, having for good and sufficient reasons connected with distributions of official pie given his promise to that effect. There is considerable speculation as to whether Mr. Cleveland will veto the Bland bill for the coinage of the seignorage, which will certainly pass the Senate this week. Senator Vilas, who is about as close to Mr. Cleveland as anybody is, says the bill will be vetoed, but others who are also close to Mr.

Cleveland say that he will allow the bill to become a law without his signature, with the hope that it will remove the silver question from the coming Congressional campaign his idea, according to these gentlemen, being that the mint will be kept busy for several years to coin the $55,000,000 silver dollars required by the bill, and that it will be useless to further agitate for the free coinage of the silver until the mints have got through with that provided for in this bill. If your correspondent were disposed to make a wager on the matter he would not hesitate to give odds in favor of a veto. Mr. Cleveland will, in my opinion, be only too glad of an opportunity to hit the silver men whom he has never liked. The House Judiciary committee will almost certainly make a favorable report on the bill fathered by Representative Bartholdt, of making Lincoln's birthday a legal holiday, although the point has been raised that Congress cannot do more than recommend the States that it be so observed.

Mr. Bartholdt, however thinks Congress has full authority to declare the day a legal holiday and will endeavor to get his bill through. Representative acting for those House Democrats of the Senate Finance committee, in putting a duty an sugar, has introduced a bill to abolish the bounty on sugar and to place sugar of all grades on the free list These men say they intend to make sure of free sugar by tacking this bill as a rider onto some of the regular appropriation bills, but it is doubtful whether the Democratic leaders will allow them to do so.

CandMateg to; Be Republican Primary Election, to Be Held May 12, 1894. More Meat Tntevee. We didn't "catch on" to all the meat thieves last week. On Saturday night the meat house of "Marty" Wissell, who lives on the J.

A.McLain farm, about three miles east of Indiana, was'eutered by thieves and ten pieces of cored pork removed. This included all of Marty's meat, and the burglars kindly left one piece on bis door step for his future needs. A day or two later thieves broke into the house of Wm. Donahue, on Twolick Hill, and stole everything eatable on the premises, ransacked the bureaus and trunks and took about everything of value'in the house. Mr.

Donahue has been receiving some relief. Both the men mentioned are in the poorest kind of circumstances', bnt the thieves out that way seem to be mean enough for anything. Farmer's Institute at Salubnrg. A joint Farmer's Institute for Indiana and Westmoreland counties, will be held at Saltaburg on Monday and Tuesday, March 19 and 20. Prominent persons including Secretary Edge, of the State Board, Colonel Lawson, of Dayton, will be present.

The pay train which was here on Tuesday, while approaching Blairsrille, ran into an engine at the Both engines were damaged and the pay car was so wrecked that it had to be sent to the shop. Superintendent Beed and other officials were in the car, bnt none of them were much injured. SOME announcements are being made this week. SEVEBAL Jefferson county lawyers are attending court here this week. BEV.

SAMUEL WAKEPIELD, of the M. E. church, and a resident of West Newton, Westmoreland county, recently celebrated his 96th birthday. He walks erect and is in the enjoyment of excellent health and last Sabbath occupied his pulpit and preached an excellent sermon. His wife is a few years his junior.

They have been married 78 years and have fire sons and four daughters, all living, the oldest son being 72 years old. Bev. Wakefield is the oldest preacher in western Pennsylvania and is well known to many of our people. D. H.

HOPKINS, one of the keepers of the Riverside Penitentiary at Pittsbnrg, was among our visitors yesterday. He has spent the last twelve years looking after the inmates of that institution, and his description of the way that prison is managed is most entertaining. He was Conductor on the Indiana Branch at one time, and is well known to many of our people. He is here in his official capacity, having charge of Henry Bennett, a Riverside prisoner here as a witness in a criminal case. WHILE engaged in the soul-stirring, leg- breaking, eye-gouging and and generally disabling and thrilling game of football last Wednesday, Earl Palmer, 12 years old, had his right wrist dislocated.

The lad is doing well, but is not quite so enthusiastic about the sport as a day or two previous to the accident. THE Pennsylvania railroad is endeavoring to suspend freight train running on Sunday as far as possible, to the benefit of trainmen in giving them needed rest and permitting them to enjoy and observe the Sabbath at home. At the Harrisbnrg yards no freight except that of a perishable character or of the food class is sent out from 2 o'clock p. m. Saturday night until Monday at 6 a.

Bnt that tannery can't hold a candle to tbe tanning the Brook ville editor and bis party got at the bands of the Bepnblicans of this Stale at the recent election. ABOUT 10 o'clock Monday morning the house occupied by John Shank, on North 6lh street, was discovered to be fire. A few buckets of water, put where they would do the most good, soon extinguished the flames, which originated in a defective flue.

The thievea broke a light of glass in tbe window and reaching through opened the fastenings.

There is no clue as' to tbe identity of the thief. Robbing a postoffice is a more serious crime than robbing a store or dwelling, and if caught the thief will be tried in the U. S. court. Brought From tbe "Fen." Henry Bennett was brought yesterday from the Penitentiary by Sheriff Mack.

Bennett is serving out a term of five years imposed upon him by the Jefferson county court for burglary.

THE appraisers of the real estate of the late Hugh and Benjamin Lightcap dec'd, of Bayne township attended to their duties last week and the aggregate appraisment amounted to about $22,000. It consisted of 410 acres at the old homestead, at Washington church, divided into three tracts; 256 acres in what is known as the Brandon place; 56 acres in Marion borough; house and lot also in Marion and store-room in Kellysburg. The two sales of persona! property amounted to $2,823, and cash to the amount of $2,749 was found.

Notes and mortgages aggregated about $5,000 making an estimate of near The appraisers were M. B. Wyncoop, J. W. Shields, D.

The meetings are largely attended and, much feeling ia being manifested. Of course there that is to be expected, It privilege ihataU'Americans court; 'the substance ot which are herewith printed: The suggestion of the court that justices should exercise their discretion and power to keep petty cases out of court was approved. The jury adds that "it is the experience of some of the members of the jury that -much time and expenses in our courts can be saved if the justices prudently use their power. Such cases," continues the jury, "are often started hastily and in anger, and their prosecution does but little good to any one, only harrassingand burdening the court with expense." The jury recommended that "two strong settees and one dozen strong chairs be provided for the witnesses appearing before the grand jury, to be placed in the waiting room provided for such persons." In regard to the court room building and jail which the jury examined, the jury made the following recommendations and suggestions That the iron work constituting the body in the jail building be painted, and the walls of the jail be calcimined. The ventilation of the jail is bad, and an opening in the roof, with a door which may be opened and closed from below, be provided.

"The jail," adds the jury, "is found to be in good condition in other respects, reflecting credit upon Sheriff Mack and his assistants." The Commissioners we recommend to at once once put the lightning rods on (he court house in proper condition. The attention of the Commissioners is also directed to the bad condition of the water closet on the first floor and to the falling plastering at tbe eastern end of the building, resulting probably from a hole in the roof. The jury also "earnestly recommend that greater regard be had to dusling and cleanliness in the court room, halls, and jury rooms. We are very earnest in this last recommendation," adds the jury. BRIDGE BEPAIES BEOOMMENDED.

The Jury recommends the repairing of the county bridge over Little Mahoning Creek, on the road leading from Georgeville to Trade City, which is now unsafe and dangerous. Attention is also called to the dangerous condition of the county bridge on the public road at Smicksburg leading to Trade City, spanning Little Mahoning Creek. The court directed the various presentments of the Grand Jury lo be filed, and thanked that body for their efficiency and industry. Tbe Usual Saturday Night Scrap. On Saturday night about 10 o'clock, a war of words took place between Denny Sexton, of this place, and Ad.

Hill, of White township. They parted, however, without coming to blows, Sexton starting for home and Hill going to the Central Hotel to get his horse. Before he had proceeded far Sexton concluded he would go back and have it out with Hill. He went down street and found the man he was' after near the Central Hotel and started across the street toward him. Hill had picked up a piece of Drick and when Sexton came close hit him on the side of the head, knocking him down.

He jumped on him and gaye him several other severe blows. About that time Officer Books put in an appearance and stopped the scrap. Hill was uninjured, but Sexton was so severely hurt as tp require the aid of a physician to dress his wounds. He was taken home and put to bed where he remained, several days. Thus far the case has not got into the courts.

Anotber Burn Burned. On Thursday morning of last week, about 3 o'clock, the barn of Alphonso Cunningham, of East Wheatfield brother of Samuel Cunningham, of this place, was discovered to be on fire. When the flames were first discovered, they had progressed eo far aa to preclude all possibility of saving much of the contents. Four horses and one cow were rescued, but two horses and several head of cattle were cremated. Beside the live stock the barn contained a separator, and divers agricultural implements, besides a large amount of s'rain and hav.

The structure was a comparatively new one and Mr. Cunningham's loss will reach nearly $2,000. A. Bevlged Version. Every school child is familiar with.the story of Mary and her little lamb, and inasmuch aa it is an old "chestnut," the revised version of the same will afford the young school orator an excellent chance lo get off something new and funny.

It is as follows: "Mollie bad a little lamb as black as a rubber shoe, and everywhere that Mollie went he emigrated too. He went with her to church one day, the folks hilarious grew, lo see him walk demurely into Deacon Allen's pew. The worthy deacon quickly let his angry passions rise, and gave it an unchristian kick between the sad, brown eyes. "This landed rammy in the aisle; the deacon followed fast, and raised his foot again, alas! the first kick was his last. For Mr.

Rheep walked slowly back, for about a rod, 'tis said, and ere the deacon could retreat he stood him on his head. "The congregation then arose and went for that 'ere sheep, several welWirected butts just placed them in a heap. Then rushed they for the door, with curses long and loud, while rammy struck the hindmost man, and knocked him thro' the crowd. "The minister had often heard that kindness would subdue the fiercest beast. 4 said he, 'I'll try that game on And so he kindly, gently called: 'Come, rammy, rammy, ram; to see the folks abuse you so, I grieved and sorry "The ram quite dropped his humble air, and dropped from off his feet, and when the parson landed be was near the hindmost as he shot out of the door, and closed it wilh a slam, he uained a California town, I think 'twas 'Yuba IJtt ot Lietter.

If ever the White Caps could be justified in their summary proceedings here is a case in which the community would uphold them. On Wednesday Humane Agent O'Brien made an information before a Kittanning justice charging William Schreckengost with cruel treatment and neglect of hia wife, who died recently after the birth of her first baby. Schreckengost was arrested on Thursday. The story of the case, as recited by Agent O'Brien, is that Schreckengost, who IB a young farmer living on the Indiana pike in Kiltanning township, married a daughter of George Eosenberger. The nnion was not happy.

One night about four weeks ago the young wife realizing approaching sickness, aeked her husband that jier mother and a physician be sent for. Schreckengost gave no attention to the request of bis wife. He left his home and attended a dance in the neighborhood, where be remained all night. The next morning on his return home he found that his wife had given birth to a boy baby. Tbe infant was dead and the wife was dying.

Late that afternoon Mrs. Kosenberger, the mother of Mrs. Scbreckengost, called to see her daughter. She found her unconscious. Dr.

J. A Kelly, of Whitenburg, was hastily summoned. He could do nothing for the dying woman, and her death followed last night. She was hurried with her babe two days later.
