In his closing predictions of the paign Chairman Garman of the Demopect to keep the Republican majority in eratic state committee says: ex- Allegheny county down to nearly nothing, and to so reduce it in other counties as te create consternation all through the state." Ry lazily neglecting to go to the nolls to-dav how many Republicans in Allegheny, county and elsewhere will help Garman and his coadjutors to make capital out of whatever reduction there mAy be as compared with the tidal wave majority of last fall? There will be a reduetion. as there always is.
from a presidentfal vote, and no matter what it is, the opposition will profess the greatest ourprise its' proportions, as if anything Jess than a 300.000 000.000 majority in Penneylvania repudiation of Republicanism. Even a majority equal to that of last fall would cause the opposition organs and leaders to boast that the Republican party had barely held its own. A reducton in the majority is naturally to be expected, and with it much gloating on the part of the Democracy and its allies: but even at this date it is not too late to urge again upon Republicans the duty of making this reduction as small as Don't give the enemy undeserved solace and leverage. Go to the polls today, Republicans, and vote and work to hold up the party majority. PRESIDENT M'KINLET'S VISIT.
The commemoration of founder's day al Carnegie library, always a notable event, will be made especially so to-morrow by the presence of President Me. Kinley. He will be the guest of honor in connection with the exercises, but none the lees the guest of ail the people of Pittsburgh during the short stay he will be able to make in the city. That he will be accorded a welcome whose cordiality 110t even the weather may successfully dampen, goes without saying. Conspicuously are the interests of Pittsburgh linked with the national policies which he has upheld throughout his public career.
and by virtue of the devoted champicnship of which he now fills the highest office the world can bestow. Though his visit will ba brief he will yet have time to see around him evidences of the returning confidence vainly sacered at and ridiculed by political adversaries. He will find hearty good will toward him everywhere and find in the Voices and handshakes of all who are able to meet him a ratification of their part in the verdict rendered tor him last fall. They are gratidied with the work his administration has eiready accomplished. and he will find among them nothing bat evidence of the confidence that every of his administration will be shaped to contribute to the country's common good.
Eisewhere the completed plans are published for tomorrow's exercises, and the public should them carefully and follow the inordingly. Those who follow as given will contribute own comfort and the com- OIL AND GOLD. The gentlemen who have disposed of part of their oil territory in the Bradtord field for the comfortable sum of $1.100,000 have done quite as well. doubt, as if they had gone en A gold prospecting trip to the Klondike regions. Under the same head may be put the lucky Greene county group who were able to command something more than $200,000 for a section of territory on which but one well had been completed-a gusher, however.
The tellows who have been tapping the right spota down in the Elk Fork regions and also in some other regions in West Virginia have been doing a Klondike business, notwithstanding the lower range of prices in all. These facts recall a reference made some time ago to neople of the oil regions and contiguous territory, who have gone to the Klondike gold regions or expect to go there it the spring. IE naked why they not strike an oil Klondike instead of steering for the polar regions they would probably reply that all the good territory seems to be taken, overlooking the fact that the same is as certainly true of prospective territory in the Klondike fields. If they were to cure any foothold within defined oil territory. or tributary wildcatting regions they might it would have to be by outright purchase or sub-leasing.
Exactly the same conditions would confront them if they were to go to the developed semi-developed gold regions. They night say further that there is plenty of possible gold territory which has not yet been tested and is open to prospectors. The same true with reenect to oil territory. The equivalent of many a fortune spent if McKean county without tapping the pools which figured in the recent $1.100.000 transaction. This not with a view to encouraging people written with the Klondike fever to go into the oil hunting business, for is for from being present for the indian Inviting one vidual of as small surplus means as the average who is looking to the Kiondice country for better things.
The point is that oil region people have no better opportunity, in going to the Klondike country, to strike a fortune than Klondike people have in coming for that purpose to the oil country. MARES DIE SHY. Mr. Bryan shy about expresaing his views an to National Paper Money party, of whore blossoming into an arganization, with Chicago as present headquarters, mention was recently made. It la natitzal enough that Bryan should shy at this subject.
He knows very well that the money men were with bita fall's campaign, not because they considered silver money money. en the free coinage basis or any other basis, less relic of barbarism than gold money, but because a campaign on. the free silver lasue, well supported by the fatists, meant capital which could be subsequently used by them in reviving the Greenback party organization or its equivalent. On the same principle that it is right to discharge dollar obligations with fifty-cent dollars, it 19 the view of the fatiste that it is right in turn to discharge fifty-cent dollar obligations with inere photographs of dollars. Free silver, at any ratio, would no more satisfy them than the present limited coinage.
It would be but a step toward the kind of money destred-paper money only. As such a step the paper Batista could afford to fola forces temporarily with the silver Emboldened by the attention given them last fall and the coddling they have received from the free allver organa and speakers, they feel that they are atrong enough to do business for themseives, and the nucleus of the National Paper Money party is the resalt. LE proposed not only to break away from the advocacy of free silver, but to advocate that the coinage of both gold and allver for money be prohibited by act of con- cross and that paper moncy alone be substituted. It is not to be wondered at that Bryan does not care to enter into any analysis of this movement. It means trouble for Bryan and the silverites.
It is true that before the next Democratic national convention it may grow strong enough and lay its plans well enough to capture the convention for a paper money polley, even as the last convention. was caught for free silver. new boy orator may spring up with a hypnotic speech which will cause the Democracy, Or Its. convention, to throw the silver plank into the lumber vard of the past and take ur the paper money scheme, in which event the new party would not need a separate organization. At any rate it ta not to be doubted that such a movement will be represented in the next presidential campaign, either in a party of its own or by capturing the party organization of 1 the Populists or Democrats, in either event It will mean trouble for the silverites of the Bryan kind.

Sherpers Swindle an Italian Out of 850 on a Well- Worked Scheme. A well-planned scheme was worked on a downtown Italian confectioner last night, whereby he lost $50. About 2 p. m.
a man who had one good eye and one glass eye, came wandering along the street and stopped at this Italian's fruit stand. He stooped over to look at some of the fruit, when unexpectedly his glass eye fell from its socket down among the bananas and oranges. The pretending purchaser at once began a diligent search for the missing glass eye. With both hands he clawed into the fruit, scattering it in all directions. The Italian came forward and told the stranger to stop.
The one-eyed man explained that his glass eye dropped down there and that he wanted to get it. The Italian became enraged and told the stranger to come around in the ing and he could get his other eye. The man explained he was a stranger and would not be here in the evening; but if he (the Italian) found the eve he should bring it to his hotel, where $100 would be paid to him. An hour later another man came along, pretending to make a purchase, and while fingering around in the fruit, suddenly espied the wonderful glass eyo. The man from Italy made a grab for it, but was too late.
as his would-ba customer already had it. Both claimed the eye and a quarrel ensued. The Italian patched matters up by giving the stranger. $50 for the eye, thinking he would get $100 upon returning it, and he would have $50 clear. He went to the hotel with the eye to get the $100 that he was told awaited him there.
He found that no such man had been there and no $100 was left there for him. He then saw how he was and notified the police. Up to a late hour last night no clew to the swindlers was found.

THE QUIET OBSERVER. The world is moved by excitement, and not by steady force and well-studied methods. This is contrary to the popular i idea, yet it seems to be the fact. Every person acts upon impulse rather than upon deliberation. You may 'not think SO at this moment.
DUE If you will go Lack over some of the more important acts in your life you will be surprised to find so many of them were prompted by sudden impuises; also, that these impulses were aroused by some unusual excitement. There isn't anything that people think over more seriously in their calm moments than religion. and yet how few join church, or make a profession of religion except under stress of excitement? Without the revivalist and exhorter church membership would be much less than it is. Henry George said he was converted to free tradeism at one sitting by William H. Mills.
Mr. George was an out and out Republican, accepting all the doctrines of the party. He went to hear what Mr. Mills to say more through curiosity than anything else, but came away an enthusiastic convert to the doctrines he had so ably and so hotly opposed. He had listened to the speaker only a few minutes until he felt himself en rapport with him, and from that time forward things peared in an entirely different light.
That which he once thought true he now felt to be false, that which he had loved he now hated, and that which he had taught he now denounced. It was not that Mr. Mills brought forth a great array of new data, or announced a new and wonderful doctrine, but he sueceded in creating an excitement in Mr. George's mind that carried him off along a new line, and it happened to be the line of least restetance. which accounts for the progress he made in the study of political and social economy.
What do you do when you think? have often said you must take time to think over certain things. Well, what did you do? What was the nature of the process by which you thought? Thinking and reasoning are different. When you reason you simply, compare propositions or facts, giving to each a value, and then draw a conclusion, just as you would solve a mathematical probtem. But when you think on all abstruse subject you have no premises, no propobut vacancy, or matter in a chaotic mass, before you. What then is the process of thinking? The originator of new ideas, and the inventor of new things, will tell you that they Just came into his mind after thinking intently.
in other words, after keeping the mind focused upon a certain point for a time, definite impressions were developed. That is, the currents of force were kept in one channel until they had left definite impressions. There appeared in the October Popular Solence Monthly an article by W. B. Parker, which has set 3 great many to thinking.
The author has been enquiring Into the nature of belief, the causes for its appearance, and the conditions under which it arises. He starts out by saying that the forces of the world play upon the physical organism of man 38 the currents of the ocean upon the sponge. Like the sponge, the human organism extracts from the flowing forces only what it needs, what it can assimilate, and to most that passes it remains insensible. He then argues that belief is a human function, and in so far as it is vital and Important, it must be to the fundamental laws of the Ws cannot believe or disbelieve that which we have never come in contact with, and the stress of life causes 118 to believe mainly only what is importa. to 118, as the sponge mainly absorbs only that which nourishes it.
What is the process of believing; or, in other words, what do you do when you believe? You may never have thought of this. Indeed, it is quite a new conumdrum. Lot us hear Mr. Parker, since he has given the matter much careful consideration. "If we stop," he says, "and ask ourselves how we come to believe such and such thing, we shall And in almost every case that it was under excitement.
Did ever a girl sit down calmly and reason to the conclusion that she was in love? Did ever a man or woman reason 10 the concluston that he or she was saved" No. belle? does not come that way. Every orator learns that. It is not the close-woven, Incontestable argument that leads 1 to belief. It may be a good preparation, but often the result can be gained wholly without it, and I doubt if it is ever indispensable.
Men and women are moved to believe, not by argument, but by aroused feeling. Just as when anger is aroused some outlet must be had, 80 when the active nature is aroused something must be belleved. "The physiological conditions of belief are, in a word, stimulationThere are also mental conditions of belief. These are, as follows from the volitional nature of the function, such as conduce to a heightened state of all the mental activities, but especially the imagination and the affections. "Repetition or pondering over a matter helps us to believe it.
We accept many a thing by its famillarity. Many of our creeds are believed in this way. The mental condition of acquiescenca is brought about by frequent repetition, just as memory is made firm by the same means. Pondering over things, themselves Imaginary, makes them real to us. Prophets come to believe in themselves and their mission, not so much by reasoning about it.
but by steadfastly fixing the goal of their desire in the mind until, out of a fancy, it grows to a clear conception, and from a conception. becomes, for them at least, a reality," Physical stimulants have a tendency to quicken mentul action, which leads to belief. Some depend on their pipe to start them to thinking, while coffee OF tea awakens almost as many doubts as they lay. Alcohol is such a vigorous excitant that it dispels doubt and gives to thought an air of certainty. Joy is a stimulant to belter, while melancholy and inactivity beget doubt and disbellef.
With his whole nature stretched to its highest says Mr. Parker, "no man can avoid conviction. So long as he merely rests, remains inactive, passive, he may get along without a faith; but when his soul Is awakened and his feeling is aroused, belleve he must. Lincoin's life gives a notable example. In his pioneer days he was a skeptic.
Both Lamon and Henderson say that up to the time Lincoln went to Washington 88 president he was not a professing belever in any Christian faith. But during the days of the war, when Lincoln bore tremendous burdens of action and anxlety, embodying and enforcing the will of the nation, he became thoroughly religjous. It Is told that In 1864, when the tension was at its highest, and Lincoln's lite was like the action of the heart of the whole people, fu: that time the prestdent was found more than once on his knees at prayer. Lincoln's faith did not come to him by reasoning, but in the and strain of stress life. He laid hold upon certain great truths with the grip of a hungering and thirsting nature.
It is in this way, I believe, that the strong- -est faith is attained." Attractive Praise Service.

porary injunction was granted this mornIng against the Humes Torpedo Company of this town, restraining the company from erecting a nitro-glycerine factory and magazine on their property near school house No. in Butler township. The was issued upon the petition of William Wachsmuth, Abram Sarver. John Forcht, John Scheneck, J. M.
McCrea and Reed Nesbit, the school board of Butler township, and John Shatfer, John 0. Kelly and Frank Cook, for themselves. The company is erecting a new factory and magazine in a ravine 1.500 feet from the school house, and about the same distance from the residence of John Shaffer and Frank Cook. The school children have to use an old road to get to the school house, which compels many of them to pass within 150 feet of the faetory. In the fall of 1895 the old factory located near the new one blew up, killing two men, wreeking the plant and damaging the school house and the residences of Shaffer and Cook.
The accident happened but a few minutes after a party of school children had passed. The plaintiffs allege that the new factory will be a menace to life and property, and seek a permanent injunction. The case is to be heard next Saturday. BUTLER SHERIFF ASSAULTED. Attacked By an Unruly Prisoner and Resened None Too Soon.

HE WAS KEPT IN AT NIGHT. To Get Even a Protege Tries to Poison a Family and Burn Down a House. William E. Brown, aged 15 years, was committed to the county jail last night by Justice R. W.
McMillen of Carnegie, before whom the boy is charged with "arson and felonious attempt." to take the lives of 0. R. Cooke and family, who reside at that place. Mr. Cooke is an attorney-atlaw with an office at 413 Grant street.
The boy made a full confession. Young Brown was taken from the Washington county home several months ago by Mr. Cooke. The boy has some mulatto blood in him, but Mr. Cooke took considerable interest in him and desired to rive him an education.
After and before school hours the boy did odd Jobs about the place. On the evening of October 6, after dinner, Mrs. Cooke and James McCloskey, her brother, who makes his home at the Cooke residence, became deathly sick. A physician was called in and declared positively that the two had been poisoned. All came to the conclusion that the meat that had been served had been rainted somewhat.
and after Mrs. Cooke and Mr. MoCloskey had revived the matter was dropped. On last Wednesday Mrs. Cooke was the city and her husband was nt his office.
McCloskey and the boy Were alone in the house. During the afternoon, while McCloskey's attention was attracted elsewhere, young Brown went to the second floor and stuffed a lot of newspapers in a closet. He then applied a match to theta and hurried to the third floor, where he did the same thing. He then hurried down stairs. McCloskey, who was downstairs, smelled the smoke hurried up staire with the boy at his heels.
Assisted by Brown, MoCloskey extinguished the flames, only to discover there was another fire on the floor above. Mr. Cooke, upon learning of the fire, became suspicious of his young protege and put the case in the hands of Constable Jacob Streitenderger, who, after an investigation, placed the boy under arrest. When taken to the office of 'Squire McMillen the boy made a full confession. He said that he put rough on rats in the coffee before dinner on October 6, and noknowledged that he attempted to set the house on fire last Wednesday.
The only reason given by the boy for attempting both crimes was that he was kept in at night and was not allowed to play with the other boys. That the boy was guilty of having attempted to poison the family was a surprise to Cooke, who, however, had a suspicion that Brown had tried to burn the house down.
