With the opening of the campaign in iVrinnyhania Republicans are proud of the fact that they can meet their Democratic opponents squarely upon every issue, state and national, and they have nothing to be ashuamed of, to ignore or explain. With the nomination of such ex cellent candidates on the.state ticket as E Ft Hardenbergh for auditor gen eral and G&lnsha A. Grow and Robert H.

STATE ISSUES FAIRLY MET. I his is the platform adopted by the Republican si ale convention held at H;irrisburg April 25, 1900: 'l'" lb of Pennsylvania, by '•>' '■ : •• ' i' i'i convention as "f'-b • \ : , atulations to i"t■ 1 i'-.i • - throughout ' 1 n; .iii ■ i, * ■ 112 tl'< prosperous •' existing and the r»osß eninved liv | the American people under the admin j istration of President McKinley. All j these conditions have resulted from j four years of Republican rule in our national affairs. We therefore reaf firm the doctrines enunciated in the last Republican national platform and asain congratulate the people upon the fciithiul fulfillment of all the pledges therein contained. : The business, economic and social conditions prevailing in the country at th:> dose of rhe Cleveland adminis tration wci v deplorable. Industry was paralyzed; trade and commerce lan guished; business was unsettled; mon etary values were uncertain and the public treasury was depleted. All these conditions are now changed. All 1 branches of industry are now active and less than one per cent of our popu lation is unemployed. Our export trade is larger than ever known in our his tory; business is active and remunera | tive; monetary values are permanently settled, and in the public treasury a large surplus replaces the deficit of the last administration. These splendid conditions are largely due to the wise and patriotic administration of the president. We firmly support and fully indorse his administration, and again record the wish of the Republicans of Pennsylvania that, lie be renominated to lead our hosts to victory at the No vember election, and to this end we in struct thr d legates this day elected to favor his candidacy in the national con vention. For the national defense, for the re enforeement of the navv, for the en largement of our foreign markets, for the employment of American workmen In the mines, forests, farms, mills, fac tories and shipyards, we demand the immediate enactment of legislation similar to that favorably reported to each branch of congress, so that Amer ican built, American owned and Amer ican manned ships may regain the car rying of our foreign commerce. We congratulate the whole country upon the fact that the money question no longer disturbs our business condi tions. On account of the wise policy adopted by a Republican president and a Republican congress the gold stand ard is now accepted as the monetary unit of value. This places our busi ness transactions on a stable basis and will encourage capital to seek invest ment and labor to find employment.

Proof of merit lies in the evidence. Convincing evidence in Danville Is not the testimony of strangers; But the endorsement of Danville people, That's the kind of proof given here. The statement of a Danville citizen. Mr. Levi Alleger, of 102 North Spruce street, says:—" I had much lameness in my back, right over my hips and an ever lasting aching over the kidneys. It hung right to me, and stooping or lifting anything caused sharp pains to pass through me. I had pains between my shoulders and ruin ing down my spine, which unfitted me for any work. I could not sleep well night* and was tired all the time, especially first thing in the morning. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills curing others of this trouble and I got t hem and after taking them I felt all right. They are the only thing which ever did me any per nianent good.''

Modesty is woman's watchword. Whatever threatens her delicate sense of modesty, frightens her. For this reason many a woman permits diseases of the delicate womanly organs to In come aggravated because she cannot bring herself to submit to the ordeal of unpleasant questionings, offensive ex aminations, and obnoxious local treat ments, which some physicians find necessary. Doubtless thousands of the women who have taken advantage of Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter, have been led to do so by the escape thus offered from a treatment repugnant to modesty. Any sick wo man may write to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., in perfect confidence; all letters being treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential, and all answer being sent in plain envelopes with no advertising or other printing upon them. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been long hailed as "a God-send to wo man." It makes weak women strong and sick women well.

If allowed to advance, this reaches th" Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the navel and the water p.i»- age, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing.small quan tities being passed with difficulty, some times necessary to draw it with instru ments.

I're*l«l«Mit J. Hampton Moore Issue*. IIIH Filial Call For the Grent Gath erii.K at I'llilu.lelphia on the 17th llisluut. i Special Correspondence. I Harrisburg, Sept. 4. —President J. Hampton Moore, of the State League of Republican clubs, has issued his final call for the state convention of the league, which will open in Phila delphia cn the 17th inst. and continue the following day. In his address to his fellow Repub licans President Moore says: "The Pennsylvania State League of Republican clubs, co-operating with the national executive committee, will have the honor of firing the first gun for McKinley and Roosevelt at the con vention to be held in Philadelphia I Sept. 17 and 18. "The occasion will be one of great in terest, and will afford the Republican clubmen of tho state a splendid oppor tunity of demonstrating their useful ness in a political campaign. "At no time in its history has the assistance of the strong fighting force of the State League been more welcome than in the great struggle which is now pending. There is need for the fire and enthusiasm of energetic leaguers in every city and hamlet of the state and nation." When the peo ple are prosperous and contented they are apt to forget the dangers that be set them. They forget sometimes to 'lock the stable door until the horse is stolen.' In this campaign our ma' trial strength may prove our political weakness. Strange as it may seem, the greatest menace arises not alone from the confident feeling that the popularity of our candidates will carry the elections, but from the more sig nificant and extraordinary sentiment that because the people are prosperous there should be none to want a change. PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE. "The average American voter who was dissatisfied and unhappy under Democratic rule is now contented and prosperous; the toilers of the land who were idle under the Democratic re gime are now employed; the great army of business and workingmen voters who demanded a change from retrogression to progress, and who, for four years, have been reaping the benefits of wise Republican legislation, are slow to believe that another and powerful army is marching steadily on ward to overthrow the good that has been done and to seize the helm of government. They are slow to believe that the candidates of the Republican party, who stand for all that has been prosperous and successful in our na tional development, and for all that has been valorous and heroic in our manhood, should be in danger of re pudiation. "They have not yet come to realize that the restless army of Democracy, of Populism and of demoralization has stealthily advanced, gathering, here and there, the selfish and discontented, combining all for the grand attack in November upon the honor, integrity and prosperity of the country. They have not yet come to realize that the standard hearers of Republicanism stand violently assailed by the Boxer horde of the New World, with all its lack of reason and responsibility. FOR THE WHOLE TICKET. "Tn this crisis the duty of the volun teer forces of the State League is plain. The men who man the polls should be up and doing. The people should be aroused to the importance of prompt and energetic action. They should be warned that defeat in the nation would be more disastrous to Pennsylvania than to any other state. They should , be told of the necessity of carrying the ; state and electing our own standard 1 bearers, E. B. Hardenbergh, auditor general. Robert H. Foerderer and Ga- : lusha A. Grow, congressmen-at-large, i by tremendous majorities. They should be told of the warnings of both nation al and state chairmen against apathy, fancied security and overconfidence; they should be told of the urgent ef forts of the congressional committee at Washington to prevent the return of a majority of Democratic and Populistic j members to hamper and harass a pros perity administration. "They should be told that the leader ' of the opposition In this campaign has adopted a flank movement, which is pleasing to the anti-progressites of the J east on the one side and to the silver- ; ites of the west on the other. They j should be told he fs fortifying his cen- j ter by the organization of clubs —clubs on the hilltops, clubs in the valley, j clubs everywhere—to catch the young ! and thoughtless voters and to under mine the Republican strongholds. "These are among the reasons the Republican State League is welcomed into this contest. There is a fight to be fought which demands the energy and the enthusiasm of new recruits. It demands the organization of clubs in every county and township of the state. Old clubs are urged to help the new tines; to encourage'young men in the work of organization and to stimulate efforts in untried localities. They are j urged to see that Democracy and Popu lism shall not triumph through Repub lican default. "Let the representation at the State ( League convention be large and con- ; vincing; let none be turned away who 1 care to come. Every club qualifying [ for membership is entitled to three | delegates and three alternates." A special consideration to those who desire to attend the convention is the matter of transportation. A special rate of one fare for the round trip from nil points in Pennsylvania, good going from Sept. lf> to 17. returning, to Sept. 22, inclusive, has been secured. To oh- i tain this reduced rate it will be neces- | sary only to mention the Republican State League convention at the ticket ollice where purchase is made. Pern May Exclude Chinese. Lima, Sept. 3.—The Peruvian senate ! yesterday had under consideration a j proposal for preventing Chinese im j migration, in view of a possible exodus j from China as a result of the present I disturbances.
