Hollidaysburg electors will assemble at their respective polling places to-day to vote for one candidate for burgees, two for borough council, two for school directors, one for borough auditor, and one for justice of tbe peace.

The discussions of the day will relate to the following among other topics; "The Obligation of the Tithe;" "Some Advantages Conected with Systematic All Colors.

One Pair of Eyes Fleur-de-lis Patterns and Handkerchief Spanish cannon appear to be going all around ub, but up to date it does not appear tbat any Blair county town is going to get a sample. Can it be tbat ex-Governor Hastings is really interfering with tbe politics of our county and setting up anti Quay legislative candidates? If so isn't it quite as wrong for the ex governor to come in here as it would be for tbe present attorney general? If not why not? The Tribune has been asked if the year 1900 is a leap ytar and if not why not. Briefly stated tbe answer is: It is not a leap year because only those century years which are divisible by 400 are leap yearB. The next century leap year will be 2000; tbe last one was 1600. To-day's election is of fully as much importance as any gubernatorial or presidential election that has ever been held in this country.

Let the citizens turn out in force and show by their presence at the polls tbat tbey are really and vitally interested in the welfare of the town. State Treasurer Beacom is winding up his administration in a very satisfactory manner. He has paid all tbe school appropriations already, a record that has not been equaled for many years. It is his opinion, however, that the receipts for 1900 will not be equal to last year's, and even if tbat were trne it would not be wise to increase expenses at present. It may be that the republican party is eventually to be sent into retirement because of tbe energetic and nntiring manner in which certain unsophisticated members of tbe organization are aiding and abettiDg the democrats.

But it is more likely tbat tbere will be a return of reason and that the party will continue to rule the destinies of this commonwealth and of tbe nation. is all you'll ever have Are they worth car Giving;" "What Shall the Church Do to Secure an Offering from Every Member in Rvery Church for Every Board?"

Mr. Calvin Moore, of Philadelphia, was looking after property interests in Bell-wood yesterday. James W. Lowther, cashier of the Bell wood bank, was off duty yesterday on account of illness. Mrs.

James Mulhollem leaves tomorrow for Washington, D. on account of tbe serious illnees of her sister, Miss Lina Robb, who is suffering with cancer and is sinking rapidly. The republican candidate for burgess didn't seem one bit troubled about the election and peacefully played checkers yesterday when be might have been out electioneering; and everybody else seemed about as cool on that subject. Bell wood believes in this cold wave, but will Dot complain if it never is struck by a worse one; but tbe "heavy snow" must have fallen elsewhere. If tbe election don't bring it, our teamsters are going to bang up their runners till next winter.

The fire oompany expects to taKe possession of its new quarters in the town building on tbe 22ad. A programme will be rendered at 7.30 p. after which a banquet will be served in Grande Parure ball.

It has made a name for itself during the years of its existence here, and to tbe number of cases of cruelty punished and ended must also be placed to its credit tbe uncountable instanses of prevented cruelty to animal or child. The society should have the sympathy and support of all who believe in its methods and in the betterment of the world by the punishment and restraint of cruelty.

The FhiladelpbiaPress is a fairly good seoond to the Philadelphia North American as an assistant democrat. It represents a company of alleged republicans whose attitude toward the party organization is somewhat like this: "If we can carry the primaries, nominating candidates who can be depended upon to do as we wish, and especially to oppose Quay, then it is the duty of every republican to stand by the regularly nominated ticket. If we can elect a sufficient number of senators and representatives to make it perfectly safe for us to go into a caucus, then we are in favor of the caucus, and we are ready to denounce every republican who dares to disagree with us. But if we are beaten at tbe primaries then it is our right to form a combination with democrats and prohibitionists and defeat tbe regular republican nominees if we can. If we are in a minority in tbe legislature then a caucus is an abomination and a trap and we will applaud all who stay away and assist the democrats to prevent tbe.

election of a United States senator." The notions of the Tribune are somewhat different. In our view tbe will of the majority should be respected. If the anti-Quay people succeed in carrying a majority of republican legislators at the primaries they should be supported at the polls by the republican rank and file. On the other hand if tbe people instruct for Quay be has a right to be loyally supported by the party and by the men who are sent to Harrisburg by the aid of the party machine. The caucus is 'the recognized method by which the will of the party majority is registered.

There does not seem to be any other way by which the organization can be maintained.
