He Talks Fairly, But History Contradicts His Claims. The speech of ex-Senator Quay made at West Chester on Monday evening sounds very plausible, and would con- vince any one not acquainted with the history of Pennsylvania that Mr. Quay is devoted to reform, and only requires that a better election law than we now have shall be submitted to him before issuing orders to the legislature and the governor to have it enacted into law, says the Philadelphia Ledger. He treats Mr. Guffey as the father of re- form election laws, and offers to pass a Guffey law in plgce of the Baker law, which, he says) ‘was known as a reform measure.” . But Mr. Quay’s apparent franknes: and honesty disappear when the his- tory of ballot reform legislation is re- viewed. The first ballot reform bill was in- troduced in the session of 1889. It was a genuine reform measure, modeled ‘after the Massachusetts law. Mr. Quay was in control of the legislature which defeated the bill. In 1891, Mr. Quay still being in control, a ballot reform bill was passed after being amended by Mr. Quay’s friends so as to ma- terially alter it. To correct the work of Mr. Quay’s friends the Ballot Re- form association’s bill was again intro- duced, but it was again emasculated, the Baker bill being substituted, which, as ex-Senator Quay knows very well, is not a reform measure, and never had the sanction of the recognized re- form element. Proof of this is to be found in the fact that the Reform as- sociation’s bill was again introduced in 1895, in 1897 and in 1899, and again defeated by Mr. Quay s henchmen. At the last session the house, which was not under Quay rule, passed the ‘bill, but the senate, which was obedi- ent to him, killed it. At six sessions of the legislature bills drawn by re- formers have been defeated outright or emasculated, and yet ex-Senator Quay has the effrontery to say: “As yet the gentlemen who are agi- by bill or otherwise to the public.” That Mr. Quay is not fit to be trust- ed with any reform movement what- ever may be judged from the treatment | he accorded to the platform declara- tions of 1895, which he presented in person to the Republican convention of that year. He and his friends have controlled the legislature ever since 1895 except that they did not hold the house in 1899, but even then they could have passed any reform measure they might have chosen to present. In 1895 the Republican party, at the instigation of Mr. Quay, who was then United States senator, resolved: “We decry the growing use of money in politics and the corporate control of legislatures, municipal councils, politi- cal primaries and elections, and favor the enactment of legislation and en- forcement of laws to correct such abuses.” What has been done in this direc- tion? Senator Quay is responsible for the neglect to carry out the party plat- form, for he has controlled the gov- ernment of the state since 1895. The platform also contained the strongest civil service plank ever adopted, but that also has been com- pletely ignored. The most grotesque of the Quay planks in the platform of 1895, view- ed retrospectively after the primary elections of 1900, was this: be for public benefit, and its term in subordinate positions shall be during good behavior. No public employe or officer should be permitted to infiuence primaries or elections, nor upon any pretense be assessed upon his salary, and all unnecessary positions and sal- aries should be abolished and expendi- tures and taxation reduced.” If Mr. Quay had taken effective measures to bring about this reform he would have been defeated as a can- didate for United States senator in 1899 instead of being simply held in check, and there would be no need in Phila- delphia for independent nominations for members of the state senate and legislature in 1900. In short, Mr. Quay’s record as a re- former, and more especially as a bal- lot reformer, is that of a man who says nice things in platforms and speeches, but whose henchmen, acting under his direct orders, defeat any at- tempt at reform. That he has wholly misrepresented the movement for ballot reform is proved by the records. It is not a new movement, but has been active for ten years, and would have been success- ful long ago but for the opposition of Mr. Quay and the malign and sinister forces of corrupt and venal politicians that he controls. ; : Roosevelt's campaign trip through the west did not net anything to the Republican party but disappointments. ‘The real cowboys of the plains cannot be easily deceived by a wide-brimmed felt hat and a blatant voice. nd TRI i i Full Dinner Pail X-Rayedl. A western newspaper exposes the fale acy of the “full dinner pail” argumeat «f Senator Hanna in a clever cartooR, showing an X-ray picture of the dinner pail. The X-ray reveals the contents of the pail in the shape of small cards marked: Cost of flour increased 20 per cent. Cost of meat increased 30 per cent. Cost of sugar, coffee, salt, increased 25 per cent. Cost of rent increased 30 per cent. Cost of clothing increased 20 per cent, Cost of shoes increased 15 per cent. Cost of medicines increased 20 per cent. Cost of matches increased 40 per cent. And so on through the long list of everything a workingman needs for himself or family. There are other things to be consid- ered in the full dinner pail argument beside the mere question of what goes into that pail. If the consumer must pay an increased price for all necessi- ties of life it will be apparent to the most casual observer that he will have to receive a very large increase in wages or he will be in a worse position than when he was getting a smaller amount of money but could buy more with it. Is it a fact at all that the con- sumer is being paid more money than formerly? Some labor, it is true, is commanding higher remuneration, but there are hundreds of thousands of men in all the walks of life who are not being paid for their work more than formerly. The great army of clerks and salesmen and saleswomen has been practically unaffected as to their salaries for years. What they know about the administration of Pres- ident McKinley is that they have been forced to pay more for the articles they must have. This is their person- al knowledge of the prosperous times which have been so persistently talked about. A Mttle patient analysis of the exist- ing conditions is all that is necessary to show the weak points in this excuse ‘of the Republican party for the perpet- uation of the McKinley administration. If the present national controlling power had brought about an increase of wages unaccompanied by an abnormal increase in the cost of living there would be some merit in the claim of prosperity, some jusification for the full dinner pail campaign cry. As itis, this is what the application of the X- ray to the full dinner pail reveals— costly food and unreceipted rent bills. —————————————————— “When the doctrine that the people are the only source of power is made secure from further attack we can safe- ly proceed to the settlement of the nu- merous questions which involve the do- mestic and economic welfare of our citizens.”—W. J. Bryan. Imperialism the Supreme Issue. The Democratic party has not made imperialism the paramount issue of this campaign: The stubborn facts in the recent history of this country and the maladministration of the McKinley regime in the Philippines have forced the question to a position of promi- nence which forbids the people to ig- nore it in choosing a chief magistrate. tating ballot reform as their specialty Lhe issue is made paramount not by | have not presented their proposition the wishes of a few members of any particular party, but because by all the laws of logic it is the question of first importance to the people. As Mr. Bryan very truly said in his letter of acceptance, the settlement of the numerous questions which involve the domestic and economic welfare of the nation must be of secondary impor- tance until the doctrine that the people are the only source of power is made secure from further attack. The Mc- Kinley administration and the Repub- lican party have asked the people of this country to expunge from the con- stitution the fundamental principle upon which every free and untrammel- led government must rest. When the people decide that they can do without the clause ‘“‘the people derive their just powers from the consent of the govern- ed’ we are ready for a new constitu- tion and a new form of government founded upon might instead of right. The shuffling of the Republican plat- form in regard to the Philippines and the government of Porto Rico deceives no one. The platform builders were set the difficult task of covering an ugly and naked truth with fair and specious rhetorical clothing. But the truth persists in exhibiting its naked- ness in spite of its silken trappings ’ "and of its own volition takes its pla “We demand that public office shall B pate in the position of supreme importance, refusing to be relegated to the rear. Imperialism is the one paramount issue of this campaign, and the only refuge offered the people from its menace is found in the platform of the Domo- cratic party. A signal act of courtesy was the request of Bryan that all pictures of himself be removed from the win- dows of Lincoln, Neb., prior to the visit of Roosevelt, who spoke in that city Oct. 2. Contrast this with Roose- velt’s persistent and undignified villi- fication of Bryan. Senator Hanna and Mr. McKinley are both on the anxious bench. They are in constant terror lest those irrepressi- ble youngsters, Roosevelt and Bever- idge, will say something which is not proscribed in the party campaign primers. ’ We know where Mr. Bryan stands on all of the questions which entered into the campaign, but with Mr. Mec- Kinley we only know where he thinks he stands, subject to corrections from Mark Hanna. Senator Hanna is a trifie ahead of the game. He should wait until Mr. McKinley gets a firm grip on the im- perial scepter before he asumes to be “the power behind the throne.” SN OF | The Machine Both Violates and Ig- nores the Constitution. “Any amendment or amendments to this constitution may be proposed ii: the senate or house of representatives, and, if the same shall be agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each house, such proposed amendment or amendments shall be entered on their journals with the yeas and nays taken thereon, and the secretary of the commonwealth shall cause the same to be published three months before the next general election in at least two newspapers in every county. * * * —=Sec. 1 of Article XVIII of the consti- tution of Pennsylvania.” In conformity with this provision of our constitution, in 1899, in ihe last legislature, an amendment to the con- stitution was proposed, the objeet of the amendment being to prevent the repetition of well known election fraufls, by providing for personal regis- tration. It was a decided step for goed, hon- est, clean government, and in justice to the members of the last legislature it must be said that even Quay was im- potent in this matter. Even he could not cause its defeat, and the amend- ment was carried by both houses. Quay, however, had another card up his sleeve—the knave—who represents the Quay machine in the governor's chair, and although Governor Stone had absolutely no prerogatives in the premises than any other qualified elec- tor in the state yet without power of law, he took upon himself the respon- sibility of vetoing the amendment. This aroused the friends of good gov- ernment throughout the state, and the matter was promptly taken into court, where the question was ably argued, and the Quay machine was informed by the court that the constitution must be obeyed, and that Governor Stone had nothing to do with the matter. Even then the Quay machine did not give up the struggle to prevent the enactment of the amendment. In their efforts to prevent any legislation which would inure to a fair vote and an hon- est count they stopped at nothing. One other of their creatures, the secretary of the commonwealth, is instructed, by the article quoted above, to cause the same to be advertised. The Quay ma- chine seized upon the alleged omission of the legislature to provide funds with which to pay for the advertising of the amendment, and the obedient secretary of the commonwealth re- fused to take any official action in the matter. We thus have the delightful scene of one Quayite arrogatingto him- self too much power and another Quay- ite refusing to use the power confer- red upon him by the constitution. As soon as Secretary Griest made known his decision, refusing to adver- tise the amendment, the friends or an honest administration of the laws, and of a true interpretation of the con- stitution, came to its rescue, and the matter was again taken into court, and once more the Quay machine was beat- en, and as a result, notwithstanding the machinations of the Quay machine the voters of this state will have an op- portunity of voting for or against the amendment on the 6th of November. “There will be a popular acquiescence in the demand for home rule, and a ter- ritorial form of government in Alaska and Porto Rico. Both are entitled to local self government and representa- tion in congress.”—W. J. Bryan. An Incident of Politics. The interchange of communications between Canton, O., where Mr. McKin- ley has a temporary residence just now, and the Carnegie company and the navy department, which has in its hands the allotment of $20,000,000 ar- mor plate contracts, Mark Hanna of course assisting in pulling the wires, is one of the incidents of everyday pol- itics, and is not miles removed from Mr. Carnegie’s “North American” arti- cle supporting McKinley while vouch- ing for Bryan as setting forth the truest Americanism. It is announced the contracts may not be awarded until after the November election. Very likely. Mark Hanna must first be sat- -isfied as to the nature and extent of the political contributions. The advanced price of armor plate, which Secretary Long is considering, amounts to five or six millions on the great contracts to be awarded. A million of that for the uses of Mark Hanna would be a small contribution, and nobody would feel it but the taxpayers of the United ‘States out of whose pockets it would come. —Pittsburg Post. —————— If the auditor general had known his business the governor never could have made that mistake of a few millions in estimating the receipts and expendi- tures upon which his unconstitutional and absurd cut of the school appro- priation was based. The Democratic |. party offers to the people of Pennsyl- vania a candidate for auditor general who if elected will make a more accu- | rate estimate of the resources of the state.’ It would be worth while to give him a trial. . The west does not seem to be mani- festing any considerable anxiety to fall on Col. Roosevelt’s neck and kiss him. This is probably a surprise to Teddy, but he must remember that when he was in the west some years ago he was after big game. This time he is run- ning for office on a dubious platform, which makes quite a difference, The money question is dragged into speeches of the Republican spellbinders as felicitously as the old colored par- son introduced a description of a battle into a sermon by stamping on the floor and following it up by exclaiming, “Dat sounds like er cannon. Speaking of cannon,” etc. It will be remembered that the Mark Hanna who recently said there are no trusts is the same Mark Hanna who is so loudly vociferating that there is no such thing as an imperialistic issue. IID tl oom sa i. : w Sugar in France, Little Used. One reason why the French people con- sume so little sagar is because their ways of living require less of that article. For the great mass of the French people break- fast consists of a bowl of soup, which is al- so frequently a part of the other two meals. Their drink is wine, and, as they use but little tea or coffee, especially in the country, there is scarcely any demand for sugar. They make neither preserves nor cake in the family. The usnal desert is fruit and cheese. The high tax of 5 cents per pound on sugar is pretty fully paid by the well-to-do-people who live in the cities and who take coffee or chocolate for breakfast and a small cup of black coffee after dinner.

ROBBED THE GRAVE.—A startling inci- dent is narrated by John Oliver, of Phila- delphia, as follows: “I was in an awful condition® My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continu- ally in back and sides, no appetite, grow- ing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters ; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim.’”’” No one should fail to try them.

The owners of timber will also have to haul out their rafts and bank them.
