Those lue-r-cliauts and others who are eritkining the (tovernnient for attempting to reach out for more business are generally very anxious to increase their own trade. It is a great deal too late to object to the retention of the captured inland, we have got theiu, and we must hold on t- them until they are civilized enough for e-lf government, by which time they will probably want to become a part of this glorious Republic Df.fkat has so demoralized the Free Silver party thai its ltad-rs and advisers want to throw it into involuntary bankruptcy. They are restrained, however, by the fear that in its present condition it will not pay the average Silver percentage JOc on the dollar.

Of cor use Admiral Dwey advites that all tue Philippine- be retained, and he adds that "Any other arrangement will lead to no eud of trouble." J)ewey is on the ground, aod his a Ivice as a practical mail ill command gen eral attention. Thk primitive idea of justice among the Cubans is shown by the fuggeslion that the soldiers accused of rioting there should have a uumlier selected by lot from their resrinient for execution. So aomehody is executed, and the disorders avenged, it does not seem to them to be particularly material whether the guilty or the innocent sutler. Jl'lKiE James (Jay Gordon, of the 1'hiladelpliia U'neb, lias resigned his official position, it is said, to avoid impeachment by ihe Iegielature. Judge iordon was a prominent candidate for the nomination for Governor when Jenks was nominated.

Governor Hast ings has appointed Henry J. McCarthy, a Peinorntt, to succeed Judge Gordon. The appointment of Hon. C. W.

Stni as Secretary of the Comraon- wealih under Governor V. A. Stone is being by many of the Ke- publrcao papers of the State. The ap- intment would lie a most excellent one, and would meet with the hearty approbation of a vast mnjority of the Jt-'publican voters of the State, Hotrti Dakota has adapted the ref- etvndum by popular vote. Under its pr.ivirions if any law is psssed by the Ijejjisature objectionable to the eopIea petition may be circulated, and if five per cent, of the voters sign it, the act must be submitted to the people for ratification, before it is spread upon the statute It is the first lime it has bMi tried in this country, although well kuown in Switzerland, and its irking ill be watched with interest.

A complication in the present instance is that bile there is a Populist Governor, the liepublicans have the sary two thirds in the Legislature to p- any measure over his veto. Politics ought to be exciting in that State dur.nj the next year or so. Uxless the preseut arrangements are changed, the caucus for the Domination of a candidate for United States Senator will le held on the even-in? of the secoud day of the meeting of the Legislature. The first ballot for Senator will be taken separately in the two Houses on the sfttrnoon of January ITU), and at uoon on the lsth a joint meeting of bol Houses will be held to compare the vote. The friends of Seuator iay are eoi.fi.Jent that he will have a large majority in thea j-cus and claim that even should Magee, Fiinn and Martin combine with the IVtnocrats and Wanamakerites li lay ill still have a majority, and that in any event his re-election is assured.

They only wncede Wanauiaker the control of eight vot. Martin, Mag a id Flinn have all publicly Mated that they will go into the caucus and will lie governed by its decision. The Johnstown Tribuuearid its Alto ua namesake are calling upon the It publicans of this congressional district "to formulate some plan to make a congressional nomination other than the one now in vogue," but neither sug-gets a new plan. It is t-uetrw that thi Republican County Chairmen of th four counties get together and devise some plan qr that after getting the Chairmen appoint a eon-mittee, to cousist tif a certain number of Republicans from each county, who shall formulate a set of rules to be nib milted to the different county conveu tious for approval. If men of the Intelligence and wide political experience of the editors of the two leading Ri- public to dailies in the district are unable to devise a more satisfactory system than the one now in vogue, we opine that a meeting such as they sugget would be barren of results.

The flr-t speech made by him 5u Congress attractid any attention was on silver, and, of course, if there had been uo silver in the Chicago convention he could not have g-t the candida- y. Still there is a chance for him in the Populist party if that er-gauizatiou keeps out of the political potters' field uutil VJ.

Brvan is a Populist rather thau a Democrat. He stumped the West far Weaver, the Populist presidential candidate, in lHdi, he was always very friecdiy to the Populists, and the Populist spirit which seized the Democracy in is what got him the nomination in that year. He would not have to make much of an adju-tment in his poiitical program to qualify him for membership in the Populist party. The Populists could do worse than to nominate him ia 1IX). He would undoubtedly make a stronger run than Wharton Hi rker, whom the Populists have already put up, His for getting the Democratic nomination in VmO are faint, but the base aiouej' clemeuts will have a ticket in the canvass, and he would be as good a uiun to head it as could be got.

Caffey and WaaaeraU. Philadelphia Inquirer. CoHnei Janiea M. Guffey, head of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania, is a full fledged candidate for United Slates Seuator. It must be apparent to Mr.

Wanaina-ker that Colonel Gufl'ey is not going to take his followers into the Wanacratic camp, but, that little fact probably does not disturb the Wanacrala in the siight-e--t. All that they have to do is to go over to the (juCV-y camp, where they really belong. The Wanamnker campaign was opposed to the of Stone, was directed towards the election of Democrats to the Ij) I at re aud resulted in the loss to the McKiuley administration of half a Consrewiujen. After surh a ao-iii it mid lie as uiisleailinj as were his speeches for the head this movement against the Kepublican party still to pose as a Iteputiliiain. It is to lie hoped that the Wanacrats will 'in hands with Colonel Hotfey aud vote for hitu, if only to show to the people of Pennsylvania how exceedingly weak thty are.

McCarthy Appointed. Governor Hastings ou Friday aunounc ed the appoiutiiient of Henry J. McCarthy, (Item.) of Philadelphia, to sueceed Ja'iieo (Jay (iordro, judge of Ihe common ple.is court of Philadelphia, whose created a sensation throuchout the Suta. Judge McCarthy was a judge of thi superior court of Pennsylvania as it wis originally construe ed, having been appointed by Governor Hastings as the Democratic member of that body. He ftiled, however, to secure the endorsement his party for the regular nomination, and was forced to retire.

Governor Hastings has made more ju-di'-ial aps.intiuents thau any of his predecessors. He has appointed altogether 18 jiunion pleas jadg, five of these to nil vacanciea on the bench in Philadelphia created by death and resignation. Colonel Stone' i Flam Tree. It would be tedious, says the Johnstown Tribune, to go over a full list of the rich gifU at the disposal of Col. W.

A. Stone within two years of his inaugura tion as Governor of Pennsylvania, for it has been figured out that there are 2S7 of-fii-es, the salaries ranging from to a year, to be filled by the new Executive iu 'bat time, not to count the places which he may lie railed upci to fi'l by the aooideut of death, rcsigualion. or from other causes.

The first and most imnorlant appointment will be Secretary of the Commonwealth, which office, ac cording to the latest report of the Audit or-General, was worth JJsniO last year.

but the fees of the next Secretary will be much greater, for several reasons, than Mr. Martin's were, and the new Governor's chief Cabinet officer may not be dis appointed to find an annual income of from tSOJ' to $25,000 io his Christinas stocking. The Attorney -Generalship was worth 18.i) last year, while Insurauce-Cominissioner Lambert was paid over in salary and fees and the Bariking- Ounmissionershlp was worth more than ij last year to Colonel Gilkeson. In addition to these there are fifteen plaies at the direct and immediate dis poKal of Governor Stoce which aggrega'-e more than per annum in salaries. Because of contemplated changes in miinbr of State and county offices it is said that tin incoming Kxecutivo will have more patronage at his aiposal thsn hss fallen to the lot of any previous Gov ernor of this great Commonwealth.

United States Senator Quay, bis son, Richard K. i'iay, and former State Treasurer Hay wool did not plead to-day to the five in dictmenU charging them with conspiracy and the unlawful use of state funds in the People's bank. They did not even appear in court, but their lawyers, Rufus K.

Spain has accepted the United States' offer of and at a joint session of the peace eoaitniwsiouers this afternoon consented without condition to relinquish and to cede Porto Rico, the island of Guam in the Ladrones, and the Philippine islands. The document presenting this acceptance contained only 300 words. Spaiu's reply ia Mibstance continued by declaring that the I'nited States baa offered, as a kind of compensation to Spain, something very inadequate to the sacrifices the latter country makes at this moment, and she 'feels therefore that the United States' proposals cannot be considered just aud equitable. Spain has, however, exhausted all the resources of diplomacy in an attempt to justify her attitude. Seeing that an ac ceptance of the proposal made to Spain is a necessary condition to a continuance of negotiations, and seeing that the resources cf Spain are not such as to enable her to re-enter upon ar, she is prepared in her desire to avoid bloodshed, and from considerations of humanity aud patriotism, to submit to Liie couditious of the conquering nation, however harsh they may he.

Sue is, therefore, ready to accept the proposals of the American commission, as presented at the lastsitting. The reading and the translation of the document occupied less than five minutes. Having embodied in the treaty articles all the protocol questions, the two com-inUaions will now euter upon friendly negotiations regarding the matters suggested in the American ultimatum a week ig matters subsidiary and incidental to trie principal provisions, which must form part of the peace treaty as finally signed. These include the religious freedom of the Caroline Islands, as agreed to 111 years ago, the release of political prisoners now ht Id by Spain in connection with th insurrection in Cuba aud the Philippines; thenkingoverof the island of Kusaie or I'ralan, in the Carolines, for a telegraphic and naval station cable station rights at olhex points in Spain's Jurisdiction, and the renewal of certain treaties, previously in force between the United States and Spain, which may have lapsed or beeu iliated by war. Seventy Livee Lost.

IiosTox.

There is scarcely a bay, harbor or inlet troni th9 Penobsaot to New London that has not on its shores the bones of some staunch craft, while along Massachusetts bay, and especially Boston harbor, the beaches are piled high with the wreckage of schooners and coal barges. The record, although hourly lengthening, is still incomplete, for that ocean grave yard of Cape Cod is still to he heard from, and as it has never yet failed to give up some glim tale at such a time, it probably will not be found lacking on such an occasion. Ttachert Get Fanperi' Pay.

Dr. N. C. Schaeffer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, on Thnnday made public the advance sheets of his annual report for the last fiscal year. He reports a marked increase in the number and tize of the libraries established and maintain ed in connection with the public schools.

The Doctor also reports that the new law for the distribution of the public school fund is a success. The increase in the amount received under the new bisis of distributing the fund was in districts in which the average per school was, and still is, lower than the district that suf- ferei a decrease. He is unable to tell, however, the effects upon the length of the term and salaries paid to the teachers. Encouraging reports have been re ceived from inauy of the districts in the State, and Doctor Schaeffer promises full return's in bis next annual report. He say that in a lame number of coun ties the toacbers receive less pay per year than it would cost the county officials to keep the same teachers in their almshouses He quotes figures obtained from superintendents throughout the State to disprove the assertions often made that fifty percent, of those who enter the pri miry grade remain less than two years.

He says that teachers should know more than they teach, and makes a strong ar gument iu favor of scientific temperance instruction. Hii Blood Saved Him. J. M. Wingate, a young sportsman of Greene Briar, Center county, had a novel yet thrilling experience the other day while hunting in the neighborhood of the Boar Meidows.

Wingate, with several others, was camping iu that locality, hunting deer. Tuesday, after standing on a crossing all day without seeiugany game, he started for camp about 4 o'clock. He was following a trail from the top of the ride to the lower lands when suddenly he stepped into a bear trap hidden b3neath a covering of leaves, and the ponderous suel jaws closed on his right ankle, tearing the II bully, without breaking the bone. The shock and sudden pain caused the niar to swoon. When be came to bis senses he was hor-ri fie 1 to see noli) feet away a monster she bear 'sitting on her bau aches and curiously handling the hunter's gun.

Wingate attempted to free himself from the trap, but the springs were ao powerful he couIJ not budge them, and in addition every miveof his w4 watched by the bear in such a threatening man-near that he feared every moment he would be attacked. Suddenly hs made a spring aod was 10 feet np a tree before the bear realized what was going on. Then, with a deep growl, she plunged for the man. The blood from Wingate's wended ankle trickled down, and this saved his life. The old bear licked the blood from ihe tree trunk, which being a barked slippery elm, became as slippery as glass, and when bruin finally tried to climb it she could not.

In her rage and fury the bear worked so hard that the tree trunk was covered with a lather which was finally coaled on her body, and in half an hour she was so exhausted and so covered with the elm lather that she rolled over and could not regain her feet. Wingate, seeing the bear's dilemma. slid down the tree, and by lying full length was able to reach bis gun, when it was but the work of a moment to send a bullet froir the 41 caliber Winchester into the brain. The bear killed, Wingate tried to release himself. For at least a half hour he pounded the trap whh stone; in an attempt to break it, and more dead than alive, attracted the at tention of companions who were return ing to camp by another trail and who came to his resoue.

When released from 1 the trap Wmgite had to be carried into etinp, though his injuries are not regard- ed as very serious Th bear was drag- g-xl in, an.

Farmers were said to be ou tho trail of others implicated in an assault upon a white man, who came to Meridian on Friday from Newton otmry. After transacting his business he for bom and camped near Oakatubee river, four miles west of the city. Whiie breaking camp yesterday a hog came an. I into his pro visions and he drove it elf. At tbis a negro cam-j up aud told the white man the b-g belonged to The farmer hitched up his team, started toward hims, and did his best to avoid trouble, but the nm was bnt on a row, aud was shortly joined by others.

They chased the Lite mau across Oaka-tutiee river, firing repealed volleys, one load of which bulged iu one of his arms, producing a painful wound. After crcssing the river the blacks gve up the chase, and the white man went to his home aud no' i tied his friends and neighbors. Iast night a dozen or more white men boarded the Alabama and Yicksburg train at Chuakey and got off at Lost Gap, six miles west of Meridian, with the av-. wed purpose of killing the negroes implicated in the assault. The man who was assaulted recognized the blacks and the white meu darted to hunt them down.

Sheriff Reed and posse returned to-night from the scene of the trouble, bringing with them throe ufgro prisoners. Early in the day a frightened negro reported to the Sheriff that a mob of white men were shooting into negro houses aud threatening to kill every negro in the community. He said they fired over 100 shots Into the house of the ringleader of Saturday's trouble. The sheriff organized a posse and started for the scene, but on arrival could find uo trace of the white men nor any corpses. However, the three negroes concerned in yesterday's affair had "disappeared," and it is said the Newton county mob had taken them in charge.

The three negroes arrested were relatives of the riotrs, aud the sheriff took them in safe keeping until the trouble subsid-x.

Srisvx, November 21 Superior Judge Buckles of Solauo couuty, has just decided an interesting c.ae, involving the question as to whether a person can acquire property as the direct result of his own crime.

The decision is in the alliimative. Louis, Frank, Arthur, Thomas and Susie Belew were brothers aud sister. Louis and Susie were unmarried and e.ieh possessed estates in their own right. The father and mother were both dead. Frank, who was without funds, was separated from his family.

He murdered Louis and Susie, wiih no apparent motive except to succeed to a portion of their estates. He pleaded guilty aud was banned. The petition for the distribution of the estates of Susie and Louis Bole asked that the estates le distributed in equal shares to the surviving brothers and to tbe estate of Frank Belew. One of the brothers tiled objection to any distribution being made to the estate of Frank Belew, on the ground that be, having murdered his rolher aud sister, could not succeed to any of the estates left by them. To this objection a general demurrer was interposed, which was sustained.

Judge Buckles declaring that unless tbe court can change the code of civil procedure the estates of Loui9 and Susie Belew must be distributed in equal parts to the estate of the murderer, Frank Belew, and the two surviving brothers.

War and Hewipapers. Many people honestly believe tbe war made a money harvest ior tbe newspapers butlbey are woefully mistaken. The Cosmopolitan baa been mat ing some investigation along this liue, and this is what it learned Should a war rep irted as this has been continue two yra it wouldbankrnpt the resources of every first-class newspaper in New York oity. Every newspaper of tbe first class has run so far behind since the outbreak of the war.

To one newspaper at leapt tbe war has meant an added expense of more than $3,000 a day about 1,000.000 a year enough to elimin-all tho profits of the moat profitable newspaper in America which at tbe present is undoubtedly the New York Herald. Three thousand dollars per day has been the extra cost of gathering war news for the New York Journal. That sum perhaps represents a maximum. O.her newspapers have spent in proportion their available capital. For a newspaper, as for a nation, war has no reward sive glory.

It hurts the commercial end of tbe newspaper as of the nation advertisements diminishing and it adds greatly to the expense. Fed 6333 of th Four. Dkxvkr, Nov.

Fow, of Peculiar Memory and Author of Qaeer BiHa, Leads tta Fight, But He Gets Cold Comfort From th Straitbt-ont Democracy.

(Special narrlsburg. Nov. is a pretty row on In the Democratic party in Pennsylvania. It Is all over the opposition cf the Gordonltes to the continuance of the leadership of Colonel James SI. Guffey and to the desire of the friends of Jue Gordon to help out the Wanamaker combination ia thrlr plans to advance the political Interests of tbe Philadelphia millionaire and his Republican associates.

That Wanamaker has given up all hope of being elected to tbe United Stales fenate Is now apparent. Ilia managers, while still in touch with the Democrats, are trotting out C. W. Stone and John Dalzell for Vnited States senator, to divide the Republican vote. Meanwhile Mr.

Guffey is getting In Us fine work lining up the Democrats. Mr. Guffey haa never been known to enter into any business or political deal without expecting a return for any expenditures that might be made. It is well known to outsiders that In the last three weeks of the state carrraien the Democratic managers made up a pool and put up Individual collaterals upon which was ralfd to be spent in certain counties to elect Democratic members of the legislature. The present United States senate stands 44 to 4S against the Republican party, and with visions of Democratic control of tbe senate before them the Guffeyite were very liberal In their expenditures.

The Democratic machine had nevf handled such great rolls of cash, and with their allies In the Wanamaker organization they succeeded In unexpected quarters. Guffey, now having engineered and financed the Democratic campaign, believes that he Is entitled to the honor of the Democratic caucus nomination for United States senator. The Gor-don-Mutchler combine has, however, trotted out Chauncey F. Black as a candidate for United States senator, and are fighting Guffey at every point. GufTey beiieves the Democratic party shcuM stind by Its colors and place a strong man.

a good Democrat, in the feld for the speakership of the house cf representatives. IS FAVOil OF GUFFEY. The officers of the Democratic state organization are of the same mind, as was evidenced by an address to the Democratic members-elect issued by Secretary Van Dyke, of the Democratic state committee, who indignantly re-Bents the idea that the Democratic members yhall be used to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for the Wanamaker Republicans. He comes out squarely in favor of Colonel Guffey fr United Slates senator, tails attention to his record as a va'iant fighter for Ms party and the self denying manner In which he has always given his time, money and services to the party. The most conspicuous advocate of coalition with, ihe Wanamakerttes in the legislature by the Democrats Representative II.

Fow, author of the "Fow "bill," and other iniquitous measures that have brought denunciations upon his head from almost every county In the commonwealth. Fow, whcsi Democracy has frequently been questioned, and who was, through a deal, c-n both the Republican and Democratic tickets, has met with many turndowns from Democrats who decline to entr Into negotiations with the relfish Wanamaker-Van Valkenberg-Hlankenburg cohorts. It is safe to predict that Colonel Guffey will win out hti fight. Meanwhile the Republicans are quietly canvassing among their number In th" interest of the several Republican apirants for the speakership. Voorhces of Philadelphia.

Bliss cf Delaware. McCIain of Lancaster, Marshall and Ilosack of Allegheny, and the others. There Is no question that the Republican caucus nominee will be elected by practically the full I arty vote, Representative Frank O. Harris, who has Just been triumphantly re-elected from Clearfield county, and who was here a few days ago. has come out fiat-footed In favor of the re-election of United States Senator Quay.

He says: "I take my re-election to mean that the people of my county desire the return of Colonel Quay to the United States senate. I was known throughout the fight that has Just as a Quay man, and while the county went for Jenks. I was elected on the Republican ticket. I shall certainly vote for Senator Quay In the Republican caucus, and In so doing I shall represent the expressed wishes of a majority of my constituents." The fight against the re-election of Mr. Harris was certainly one of the most bitter waged In any district In the state.

Immense sums of money were pent to defeat him. His success under tbe circumstances waa An important series of pictures of Pope Leo from the only photographs taken in many years, will shortly be published in Harper's Weekly.
