Olnebvl AlxiKK is getting a great deal more fytrijattiy now than any body thought of tendering him when be needed it. - Democ ratic iwpers that lately clam ored for Algt-r'H removal are now pic turing the pathos of bis retirement and oflVr'uiK to bold the bat of l'ingree in asnailiug the President.

IirvAX is going to Ce a delegate to the next Democratic National Conven tion. Ordinary modesty would suggest that be remain at home, being an avow ed eaudidate, but the lioy Orator lim never lf ll acvused of being modest. That once obstreperous Havana pa jier, La Lucba, admits that the first half of the current fiscal year shows balance in favor of the American ad ministration of H.W.oiiO. Such argu ments fur annexation are unanswerable. It is proposed by the National Deni ocralic Committee to raise a campaign fuud of J2,tiOO,W with w hich to makt the fight for Bryan next year, but, rather than not make the fight, the committee will compromise on f 1,000, 0J0. The Montgomery Advertiser, a Dem ocratic paper, says the people of th South are learning that "good mone cjt be made out of pojr materieL' Pel haps some unpleasant surprises art in fccore for the silver party in that sec tion. Secretary Root says be is an ex pansionist just as far as expansion agrees with the President's policy, which means that he is in favor ol keeping what we have. That is tb kiud of man to put at the head of af fairs. Pkksij:xt McKixley is taking r much-needed vacatiou with bis wife ai Lake Cbamplain, and it is to be hope1 that it will prove enjoyable and restful lie is the hardest-worked man in th Nation's employ since the days of th lamented Lincoln. Dewey is a Vermonter, belongs to a Republican family, advocates gold in paying sailors and other people, aud if n it only an expansionist, but a leading cause of expansion. If the Democrat are looking for such a man they have undergone a sudden change. Senator Allison says that "the It -publican p trty is now and always b is been against illegal combinations of capital." The proof is found in Republican national platforms, ia the McKinley tariff law of IsfX), and the Sherman anti-trust law of the same 3 ear. I.v the opinion of the Haiti more Sun, the leading Democratic paper of Mary laud, the iiihtant the silver plank cf the Chicago Convention is reaflirmed, "the election of a Republican President in 1:HI becomes an absolute certainty." X evidence appears anywhere that the 8'tund money men of ls!; have changed their opinion cf the Chicago platform The Stalwart Republicans of Dau phin county bad it all their own way at the primaries Saturday and in the convention Tuesday. 15y their action five more delegates have been added to the Stalwart s'.riug that will line up in the State Coueutiou ou thelMtb. The few lnsureut delegates thus far fleet ed will hav trouble to find standing room . Ir may interest the Calamity llowl--r, says the liarrisburg Telegraph, to know that during the last quarter of business at the State Department of Pennsylvania there was more busmen done than evir before in the history f the department. This is an indication that capital has gone into business for good, aud that corporations are increas ing their plants so as to do more bus iness. Were it not fsuch little things as this, the CtJamity Howler would be beside bimsel;' with glee. There are at least two reasons why that project, or alleged project, of ex Secretary of the Navy Whitney to get Dewey to let the Democrats nominate him for President will fail. In the first place, Dewey will not accept a nomina tion from any party, aud, in the second place, be is a Republican. It is natural that the Democrats want to put up some man who has won distinction in the war. But they can not accomplish anything. Every man who has figured w ith any promineuce in the war be longs to the Republican pary except Wheeler, and Wheeler talks so much like a Republican on the "imperialist" question that no Democratic Conven tion would Dominate hi in. There is talk about revolution in the Dominican Republic. So many revolts have occurred in that country in tbe past quarter of a century that no one would be surprised if a rising should occur at this time. The assassination of its President shows that the condi tions which ordinarily lead to revolts are at band. There is a comparatively large number of Europeans and Amer icans in the Dominican Republic, and almost all of them, it is understood, fa vor annexation to the Umted States. If that annexation project of thirty years ago which President Grant favor ed, and which the people of the Wand &prwd in t:a I hmn rrl w 1 j undoubtedly Lave been a benefit to all parties. The present disturbance may lead to another annexation movement This time it would succeed. The coun try in 1 is a little wiser than it was in 1S9. Doaped ia FtnasyWaaia.

Tbe U-tal number of fatalities is 736 1 officers. fi'J privates and M civilians attached to tbe army. A remarkable feature of tbe record is found in the statement that the number of officers killed in battle is out of all proportion to the number of privates killed. On tbe other band, fewer officers died from dis ease proportionately than privates. Oji of the twenty-three officers dead hi x teen were killed iu action, two were drowned and live died of disease.

Kansas Citv, Mo., July 27. The tragic scene which attended the death of Corpo ral Leonard F. Hayes. America's only trai'or in the Philippines, was w itnessed by Sereeaut George A. Lainarsh, of Com pany II, Twentieth Kansas Volunteers, now in this city. Corporal Hayes, he says, became enam orrtd of a Filipino beauty, and, deserting his comrades, was placed in charge of a Filipino battery, with the rank of lieu tenant. He met his death in almost the first engagement in which he fought against his country. Speaking of this battle Sergeant La marsh says: "We bad charged tbe Filip iaos, driving them back and killing acd wounding many. Among tbe wounded left on the field we found Hayes.

July 3L A prominent official of tbe Pennsylvania Railroad company stated to-day that after several years' consideration a conclusion has practically been reached as to the crea tion of a pension and superannuation fund for the benefit of the employes of ths company. It is understood that 70 years of age bas been fixed upon as tbe aee fr compulsory retirement, aud thai employes w ho have been 30 years in the service, but have not attained that age, will be entitled to the benefi'a of the fund. The pension allowance will be based upon length of service and the av erage wages received by the employe dur ing such service. It is estimated that it will require a payment by the company of about f JUO.OOO per annum to make tbe fuud effective.

A Fake Reformer Now Gets a Dose of the Real Thing in Allegheny. 31H OF UIHHin fMI EXPOSED. Iodtpendtnt Citizens of Allegheny County Take Flinn at Hi Worn and Start to Reform ths Local Political Machine. (Special Correspondence.) HarrUburg, Aug. 1. William Flinn, who. has been termed the Aguinaldo t.t the Republican insurgent movement against the leader .of the regular Re publican organization in Pennsylvania, will be back from Europe within a few days. Since Flinn. through his big municipal contracts, like Martin in Philadelphia, became numbered among the millionaires, be bas aspired to so cial prominence, and recognizing that "the polite thing to do" was to take a run to Paris in the early summer, he set sail In tbe latter part of June, Joining "society's" annual pilgrim age to fashion's capital on the con tinent. Flinn will find unexpected trouble on his hands when he gets back. REVOLT AGAINST FLINN ISM. A revolt has been organized against his dictatorial and domineering leader ship of the Republican organization in Allegheny county, and tbe public abuses that have grown cp there since he has been in control of the local machine. The people of Allegheny have actually taken seriously Flinn's declarations for reform in his insur gent campaign throughout the state that is, everywhere but In his home county. They have been looking into matters in Allegheny and find that Flinn's preachings away from home are not In harmony with the prac tices that prevail right where he lives. The hypocrisy of the Fllnn-Martm crusade against Colonel Quay, the con temptible and iniquitous methods re sorted to in the desperate fights of the last two years against regular Repub lican nominees throughout the state, the sham and buncombe of the cam lalgn waged under the name of "re form" against the regular Republican caucus nominee for the United States senator at Harrisburg. and the selfish and unpatriotic manipulation of the Democratic and Insurgent votes in the 'egislature to cripple the Republican state administration, to deprive the commonwealth of proper revenue through the defeat of the several measures advocated by Governor Stone for raising funds to meet the demands of the common schools, the charities and hospitals and other de serving public institutions, have arous ed feelings of disgust and contempt for men of the Fllnn-Martin stripe, whoare held responsible for the curtailment of M'hool funds and the reductions in appropriations for other purposes necessitated by their course in the leg islature. By the election of delegates to the Republican state convention who will repudiate the whole band of insurgent conspirators, the Republicans of the state have by a most emphatic vote ex pressed themselves on the issues rais ed bv the Flinns and Martins. FLINN'S TROUBLES BEGIN. But in Allegheny county Flinn will find his most serious trouble. A body of citizens styling themselves "inde pendent Republlcans'have Just launch ed a complete ticket for county of ficers to be voted for at the coming election, and which will be pitted tgainst the nominees that Flinn and his followers will select. The inde eni'ents have selected prominent men 'or the several positions from sheriff down to commissioner, and they de clare they are in for a fight to a finish. The Philadelphia Press, which has been the principal organ of the Flinn Martin insurgents in the campaign against the leaders of the regular Re publican organization in the state out side of Allegheny, in a dispatch from Pittsburg on Sunday last Innocently said: "A revolt of Independent Republi cans of Allegheny county, which has been talked of for some time, crystal ized tonight, when the committee of twenty-five announced an independent county ticket, which will be placed in nomination for the fall election. In some respects the movement is unique, as it has no affiliation with the old Quayite 'reform' organization in Alle gheny county. The nomination of the Independent ticket is directed generally against machine rule as exemplified in the county organization. The ticket was selected by a committee of twenty five, and will tie placed before a town meeting later in the campaign. "The ticket is composed of lifelong Republicans, who will stand on a plat form denouncing the evils of the ma chine without regard to faction. " The platform denounces the extravagant in crease in public salaries, the multipli cation of offices, the dictation of slates by one man, permitting no contest at the primaries; the control and manip ulation of the county school system by politicians; th building of countv roads at double and treble the amount for which they could be constructed also comes in for severe censure. The enormous bond issues in the city of Pittsburg and the system of rotation in office in rogue in this county are also the subject of protest. The ratifi cation meeting is to be held next Sep tember." When Flinn gets back he will prob ably demand the head of the editor who allowed the above statement of fact to creep into print in one of his personal organs. The insurgent boss will also realize the truth of the old saying that "Chickens will come home to roost." While the Insurgents are having their troubles the victories of the stal wart Republicans continue to fobow each other with unceasing regularity. In two counties Republican primary elections were held on Saturday last, and in both of them the regulars car ried everything before them. Dauphin will send a full delegation to the state convention that .will vote with the friends of tbe state administration, and all are friends of Colonel Quay. Ful ton, the other county voting on Sat urday, also goes on record for stal wart Republicanism. TO PREVENT DEADLOCKS. Pennsylvanians are naturally inter ested in the announcement that Sen ator Stewart, of Nevada. In order to obviate the apparent necessity of an amendment to tbe constitution to in sure at all times a full representation of states In the United States senate, at tbe next session of congress will offer relief by legislation which, the senator says, may prove satisfactory. He proposes that the following para graph be added to the end of section 15. title 2, chapter 1, of the Revised Statues: "If on the third Tuesday after the organization of the legislature no per son has received such majority, then on that day, or any succeeding day, the person receiving a plurality of the votes cast, a majority cf all the mem bers elected to both houses being pres ent and voting, shall be declared elect ed." This, he believes, will meet the ne cessities of the case and insure the elec tion of a United States senator in every slate at the time specified bylaw. In commenting upon this proposi tion former Republican State Chair man Thomas V. Cooper says: "The law regulating the election of United States senators, passed by con gress In 1S66. should be modified aa to enable a plurality to elect, the same as members of the lower bouse and all other officers are chosen. This should be done, and done ao quickly after the meeting of congress in December that it will practically settle the four contested cases of Pennsylvania, Cali fornia. Utah and Delaware. It done, it will kill at least four factions in as many states, and It wilt check the growth of factions and of third par ties. Kow, undec tbe law requiring a majority or all voting to elect, a third party or faction can deadlock any leg islature, to the great cost of the people and the great Injury of the general government, Who cannot readily con- eetve tne neatn ot one of the great co ordinate branches of obr government by deadlocking ths legislatures of one fourth to one-third of our states, thus making from 15 to 20 vacancies In the senate a srreater number of vacancies than there is party majority. What is the result of this a deadlock in the senate, with anility iu tne miuoru; to wreck the government by a refusal to vote. "The present law Is not republican in form, for it defeats the majority. It Is dangerous in character, for It divid?3 states and cripples their legislation. It is doubly dangerous, for it carries di vision and disruption to our highest legislative body, and thus threatens our general government Judge Hoar was right when he denounced it la in iquitous, and now that its results arc seen in vacant scats and states without representation, tbe very first act of the next congress should be to re peal it" DESTRUCTIVE II SECTS. They Caste a Lou of Xilliont of Dollars Annually ia PenniyWania. HARRlsBt BO, Jnly 2S. The farmers and fruit gmwers of Pennsylvania suffer a loss of millions of dollars every year by tbe ravages of insects. hVonomic Zk logist Feruald is trying to prevent this de struction by ed u call Dg the people how to get rid of these little pests. He has pre pared a series of illustrated bulletins on insects Injurious to wheat, cabbage, f. uit and fru it trees. The annual wheat crop of Pennsylvania mounts to about 5.000,000, which is ex ceeded by only five States in tbe Union. Reports to the department of sericulture estimate tbe loss by tbe Hessian fly at from 10 to 75 per cent ; the average lor the Stabs being 31 per cent. This represents 17,000,000 Uken directly from tbe pockets of the farmers of tbe commonwealth by this insect alone. Dr. Fernald says over 50 different kinds of insects are known to feed upon wheat, but of these only about 10 or 12 are often sufficiently abundant to cause serious injury. Tbe lota in Pennsylvania is usu ally caused by the Hessian fly, wheat stem saw fly, wheat stem maggot, the joint worms, wire worms, wheat midge and Angoumois grain moth to the stored grain. While no reliable estimates of the size of the cabbage crop of Pennsylvania are obtainable. Dr. Fernald says it is cer tain that it is worth several thousands of dollars each year to the growers and would be worth much more were it not for the attacks of a nuinlier of kinds of insects, which destroy a portion of the crops and so injure much of the remain der as to greatly reduce its value. Forty or more different insects feed on the cab bage, and nearly all of these are seriously destructive at times. Those mwt usual, however, arc the cabbage worm, tbe zebra caterpillar, the cabbage maggot and a new pest which has appeared in this State within the last two years, known as tbe Harlequin cabbage bug. Returns to the department show that fewer bushels of apples are raised in this State than there are bearing trees. More over, tbe fruit which is obtained is, mucb of it, so injured by the attacks of insects and fungi as to greatly reduce its value, while quite a portion of that which at first forms is so quickly affected by one or another of these causes as to soon drop off and be an entire loss. Fruit trees are particularly liable to the attacks of insects, more than 250 different kinds feeding on the apple alone. For tunately most of these are seldom present in destructive abundance, and most can easily be c ped with. Dr. Fernald says that tbe loss caused by scale insects and particularly by the San Jose scale is great and is ach year increasing, as the iusect becomes more abundant. It must soon reach millions of dollars uuless some thing is done to prevent it HOT AT ALL LIXZ DEWET. Washington Officials Diteredit the Story. Washington, D. C, July 29. "I do not believe it," aaid Secretary Long, with emphasis, when be was shown to day the ''interview" with Admiral Dewey, at Trieste, declaring that "our next war will be with Germany," and reflecting upon Germany's policy in tbe Pacific and else where, which caused a sensation here. Secretary Long's words were echoed by every prominent officer in tbe Navy Department, including all of Admiral Dewey's friends, and Secretary Hay and other State Department officials made similar statements about It Secretary Hay, it is reported, told the German representative, Mr. Von Mum m, this morning, when talking informally and unofficially about the matter, thst it was ridiculous to suppose that Admiral Dewey, who bad shown himself to be such an admirable diplomatist, would commit tbe indiscretion of giving such an iuterview to the press. If Admiral Dewey should support the interview and publicly avow what be may have privately said, it would be difficult for the Adiniuistralion to deal w ith him in a way that would be satisfactory to Germany, for it would hardly be permit ted by our people to punish tbe one universally-accepted war hero, popularly regarded aa almost infallible, even with soslight a punishment as the unpublished letter of reprimand which Secretary Long sent to Captain Coghlan. A war with Germany would be more popular than a reprimand to Admiral Dewey tor pre dicting oue. PKWKY'S REPORTED IXTeRVIKW. Appended is tbe story sent by the New York Herald's correspondent al Trieste: I bad a conversation with Admiral Dewey on board the Olympia yesterday. In repl) to my remark thaMleriiiauy had intended to interfere at Manila he said : "Yes, Prince Henry of Prussia is a man of tbe type of bis brother, tbe German Emperor." "And Admiral Von Tiedricb?" I asked. "He was relieved from .bis Manila post in accordance with an arrangement of long standing, and because bis time was op, not as a concession made in friendli ness to the American Government Germany's policy ia to prevent other Powers from obtaining what she cannot acquire herself." After we had spoken nf Samoa as evidence of her policy, tbe Admiral said: "We need a large and thoroughly equipped n.vy that can cope with any other Power. Eagland is our natural ally, an.1 differences such as those about the Vener-uelan boundary and the fisheries do not interfere with a friendly under standing existing between tbe two nations. Our next war will be with Germany." - Tellow Fever Fatal to aevea.

We know of nothing that will inter est you more this week than to give a few facta concerning the wonderful trade this store has enjoyed the past two weeks. There was a time when July w as con sidered a dull month. Indeed, it i so considered now by most merchants. This house, however, never bas dull seasons. We have found that if the right kind of low prices are put upon tint claaa g nnls, people who have an eye to saving still buy, if not for preseut use for future use. Instances: In this big inventory sale last week tbe Silk Waist department sold oue moruing before nine o'clock over one hundred Silk Waists; the same day over two thousand Photograph Frames found new owners, something like twelve hundred Men's Madras Neg ligee ShirU specially priced were taken inside of two days that is to say thtre were that many shirts of oue special line sold; the selling of Women's While l'io,ue aud Colored Pique Skirts were ab normally large. All of which is mentioned simply to show you that if you are in need of any thing whatsoever that ia carried iu this store, and we sell about everything that is used for home or person, all you have to do to get what you want very good, but very cheap, is to cluie or seud here for it. No matter what it ia you will tind it under-priced. Pittsburg, Pa. E XECUTOR'd NOTICE. Estate of Harriet Custer, tate of the borough of Hoovernville.
