Till! NATIONAL CONVKNTIOX. As to press this morning can 1 1. uin raiders only the organization oi' Million, hut a lew of its preliminary arrangements. Beyond this there IK the expression of opinion, but the are that "William McKiuley will be nominated for President. It is an old and iiiu- saying that ''There's many a slip 'twixi cup and lip, but in this instance it would seem as if there would be no ''slip." True, the unexpected sometimes occurs hut it seems to us that the people demand the nomination of Major McKinley and tlic history of the Republican party has been always to respect the wishes of lite peopl(.

A number of names have been, suggested for Vice President with the chances in iavoi of Governor Morton, of New York. As to the platform, there will be no straddling of the money question. It will de- clau- lor the existing gold standard and the 1 part of it will be as follows or in equivalent terms: favor the maintenance of the existing gold standard and are opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by international agreement for bimetalism with the leading commercial nations of the world." This is the plank accepted by the participants iii the conference of gold men, which has been submitted to various heavy financial interests in Xew York and has been endorsed by them. There will be no contest on the floor of the Convention except between the allied honest money men and the silverites. singular feature of the present Convent; is that the tariff has been pushed in the background by the liuaucial issue.

When we remember that McKiuley strength with the masses is due to the identification of his name with protection, this is a remarkable state of affairs. The causes for it, however, are not hard to see. When the free silver faction on the Republican side of the Senate joined hands with the IVmcx -rats to defeat the tariff bill sent over by the House it showed that the tariff occupied a position until the issue was settled. The Convention is not likely to be long drawn "We believe that by Thursday McKinley Avill be nominated for President, B9me good man for Vice President, and such a platform adopted as will secure to the Republican party a grand and brilliant victory. Senator Quay will receive 58 votes all of Pennsylvania's but six.

This is a proud and magnificent showing. He was also houoied by election to the National Committee. CONGRESS ADJOURNS. Contrives has adjourned and verified the prediction of Speaker Reed in his inaugural address when re-entering upon his duties, that this would lie a ''do-nothing Congress." In the main the people are glad of this, but are not satisfied that it passed no act for the increase of revenue and the preservation of tlie soundness of the treasury. Somethings it has done might have been left undone or done better, as for instance a smaller River and Harbor bill than £80,000,000.

But the strongly Republican House is not to blame lor of omission or commission. Speaker Reed, in closing remarks adjourning Congiess, with force and truth said: "I must congratulate the House on its conduct of the public business. Ordinarily a majority of and a half to majority of! disorganization, faction and hi this House 150 new members oi hot parties have behaved with the steadi ness of veterans: and if our connection with other branches of government, with different ideas, has prevented us from serving the country as we might have done we at least have behaved with dignity, fairness and credit." Under the circumstances the action of the House has exceeded expectations, and had the Senate followed its wise lead there would be more confidence in trade circles to-day and far brighter prospects for better days in the near future. Neither are the Republicans of the Senate to blame for shortcomings. These must be placed upon the shoulders of a "combine" consisting of all Democrats, a few silver Senatoi and three Populists.

Under condi. tions like these we can thank fortune matters are no worse and rejoice in common that Congress is out of harm's way. This is not a specially agreeable sentiment for the public to entertain on representative government, so prevalent in all countries with a parliament and which leads Lecky, the historian, in his recent work on ''Democracy, to say: 'A growing distrust and contempt for representative bodies has been one of the most characteristic features of the closing years of the 19th century." As a reason for this, he thinks the parliamentary system everywhere "has fallen more and more under the control of men of aft inferior stamp; of skilful talkers or or sectional interests or small groups; and its hold on the affection and respect of nations has visibly diminished." Much of this latter assertion is true; but in a land like ours, with frequent elections and short terms of Congressional service, the matter can be corrected when the people fully open their eyes to the necessity of a change in the Senate, fast running into contemptible decadence. Now is a very fruitful time for voters to think of this matter. OUH FLAG.

Last Sabbath was the 119th anniversary of the adoption of the stars and stripes. In many towns and cities it was celebrated by the singing of patriotic songs. Various patriotic orders conducted imposing ceremonies. Simple as these may seem to in the true American they stir up, quick en and deepen his love for home and country. In the flag of itself there is no inspiration, but.

lik- the withered flower or broken toy that calls up days of happiness and love, it the highest prosperity of this great nation. It may be a tattered, torn or shot-riddled one, but its history is sacred to us. Our ring embodies in its combinations everything that is great and glorious. "It has bi-cn reddened with blood and dyed with U'Ms: it has guided heroes to immortality: it has inspired men in all walks of liie: it has been planted in waste places of the land aud they have blossomed as the rose. Some may think that these reminders are unnecessary, but men, women and all the youih the laud should be taught and reminded of their privileges and enjoyments under it- protecting folds.

It is not neces- saiy that we should always it with waraijd but think of it also as a harbinger oi' peace aud protect ion to all wherever it is unfurled. Do not forget the flag of our country. Iu publicans ahvays change their course wheu they find they are doing any-' thing that pleases the Democracy. Don't jr'atify them by dissatisfied with the ticket. Suppi candidates and CONGRESSIONAL CONFERREES.

Major T. D. Cunningham has chosen as conferrees to represent Indiana county in the Congressional conference of this district, S. M. Jack, of Indiana; E.

M. Evans, of Blairsville, and Horace J. Thompson, of Marion Center. We believe this to be an excellent selection. They are all gentlemen of ability' and integrity.

The Republicans of Indiana county can feel assured that they will do all in their power to secure the nomination of Mr. Cunningham. There will be no selling out if Indiana county conferrees can prevent it. The time and place of meeting will be agreed upon in a few days. FOE the last three years New Zealand has had a special progressive land tax, there being no tax upon personal property, and none'upon buildings, except where they are worth over $15,000.

The law provides that a man owning land valued less than $7,500 shall pay taxes on a valuation $2,500 less than the actual value. Above $7,500 the exemption decreases till $12,500 is reached, when it ceases. The amount of mortgage on the property is deducted and charged to the mortgage holder. This law is said to have stopped that most pernicious evil, the speculative holding of land. No tears will be shed for the school teacher who was refused re-employment by the Newport board of education because she sent presents of flowers and other things to Scott Jackson, the convicted murderer of Pearl Bryan.

There is too much of this mawkish sympathy toward the perpetrators of the most brutal crimes, and the Newport school board did well to consider the rejected teacher an unfit person to mold the sentiments of boys and girls in the capacity of an Commercial Gazette. THE Grangers of Central Pennsylvania have appointed a committee of three to wait on the next session of the Legislature and ask a more equal distribution of the appropriation for public schools. They also will request that some law be passed to establish country schools on a plane more nearly equal with city and borough schools, and that a law be passed permitting a winter term of five mouths and a summer term of two mouths. THE Democratic organs, instead of insisting on an answer from McKinley as to his position on the money question, are simply inquiring, "Where are we at?" Help Pay the Debt. The Y.

W. C. T. U. will give a lawn fete in the yard of Dr.

William Owens on south Seventh street on Thursday evening, June The uHvijits of the evening will be applied to paying the debt incurred by the W. C. T. U. in remonstrating against the granting of liquor license.

All friends of temperance should go and enjoy the evening and contribute to good cause. A Xew lAvery Firm. Mr. Ira Myers, of the House, and his brother Frank who has been employed at Jamison's livery, have purchased the interest ot Mr. Henry Wilson in the livery stables of Stewart A Wilson.

The sale was made on Tuesday. The livery will now be in charge of Frank Myers. PAYING FOR CRIMES. Continued from First Page. ther proceedings were taken by Mr.

Hastings, when he was suddenly stopped by Mrs. Allen setting up the claim that her signature to the Hastings note was a forgery. During the hearing and trial Silas Allen said he authorized Annie Waltemire to sign his own and his wire's name to the note without consulting his wife, and that she never approved it. Consequently, Mr. Hastings was shipped but of court with the costs on his back.

This proceeding for forgery was then instituted. The same facts were developed on the trial as to signing the names. John H. Hill and ex- Senator Hood were the Attorneys for the defendants, and they were very anxious for acquittal. The jury found Silas Allen guilty.

The Commonwealth did not ask for conviction as to Mrs. Waltemire, so she was acquitted and the costs placed on the county. In the argument of the motion for a new trial, the Court expressed himself very strongly as to the dishonesty of this transaction. Commonwealth vs. Samuel Huston, assault, George W.

Lutman, prosecutor. The prosecutor is a tax collector for Green township. He made a levy on some property for uncollected taxes. On the day of the sale defendant shook his fists at him and drove him off the premises. The defense claimed there was no violence and that his taxes had all been paid, there was nothing due to Lutman and he ordered him away.

Verdict of guilty. Commonwealth vs. Benjamin Beatty. disturbing a religious meeting at Blairsville. Defendant entered a plea of guilty.

Commonwealth vs. S. E. Denuison, cruelty to animals; A. J.

Ransom, humane agent, prosecutor. Defendant is a teamster in Blairsville. He was charged with beating his team of mules. Several parties testified to seeing occurrences of illtreat- ment. The defense was the mules were stubborn and contrary and were not whipped any more than necessary, that they only received two or three cuts with the blacksnake whip at the times charged, and that they were not abused.

Verdict of not guilty and the defendant to pay one-third the costs and the prosecutor the other two- thirds. Commonwealth vs. William Langham, O. O. Nuppaud Charles McCrady; making fraudulent returns of a primary election in Montgomery township, Robert Conner, prosecutor.

On Thursday morning the defendants filed a motion asking the Court to certify the case to some other judge, alleging that he was related to M. C. Watson, the party who is alleged to have been wronged by the returns, and that Judge White was personally interested on Mr. Watson's side of the campaign at the election. In answer Judge White stated that Mr.

Watson was married to his niece, that he may have voted for him at this primary, as he had a right to do, but that frequently he and Mr. Watson antagonized each other during elections, that they were often for opposing candidates. Judge White refused to certify the case on the ground that there was not sufficient interest, but that he had been in communication with several judges to come here and try the case, and that if another" judge could not be secured he would try the case himself rather than have all the witnessess connected with the case sent home without a trial, after having been detained from their work at somebody's expense for two days. Saturday morning Judge Wilson, of Beaver, arrived in court and took charge of this case. A motion was made before him by defendants' counsel to squash the indictment, alleging several reasons.

This the Couit refused to do at present, that he could not decide the matter until after the evidence was in. Counsel then asked for a bill of particulars, alleging that they did not know who these parties were that are claimed to have voted for Mr. Watson and were not counted, that they should know names and have time to prepare defense. This was granted and the case was continued until September, wheu Judge Wilson Will return and preside at the trial. The June term of court ended with the session on Saturday afternoon, when Judge White imposed some salty sentences, which total imprisonments in the penitentiary 31 years, and fines amounting rn all to The men who must pay the penalty of the law so dearly are no strangers to the reading public, and each one has figured in repeated robberies of the most bold character.

The imposed sentences are distributed as follows: James alias "Doc" Lydick, burglary; Griffith Owens, prosecutor; pay a fine of $1,000. the costs, and sent to the penitentiary for six years. In the Kmp- h'eld case, convicted of receiving stolen goods and as accessory after the fact, he was sentenced to pay a fine of $500, the costs, and three years in the penitentiary, to begin at the expiration of the preceding sentence. James Malvin Lydick, alias Dick Lydick; $500 fine, the costs, and three years in -the penitentiary, on the Griffith Owens burglary, Lydick having been convicted of receiving stolen goods. Ulysses S.

Cochran; Griffith prosecutor; defendant convicted of receiving stolen goods; $500 fine, costs and three years to the penitentiary. For breaking aud entering the store of Robert F. Walker, Cochran was sentenced to $500 fine, the cests and three years in the penitentiary, to commence at the expiration of the Owens case sentence. The same sentence was imposed in the case in which Frank Empfield was prosecutor, defendant having pleaded guilty to receiving stolen goods, making nine years in all. Charles Pierce, defendant; had guilty to being one of the party who robbed and tortured old Mr.

and Mrs. Bruner, Banks township. Sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000, the costs and for ten years to the penitentiary. Benjamin Beatty, disturbing a religious meeting; fined $5 and the costs. Same, charged with f.

and $1 fine, the costs, and $25 to the prosecutrix. The third week of the June term of court has been continued until the first Monday in July. Judge White has taken no action on the granting ot the license and if the Court's opinion is not filed before Monday of next week hotel bare here will be closed. Deputy Sheriff Joseph Mack and Jail Warden Miller took the four prisoners to the penitentiary on Monday morning; at the train quite a crowd gathered to see the men off. Premium Book of the Fair.
