The obvious improvement in the Demo- cratic organization of Philadelphia, is a just source of encouragement to the Demo- cratic voters in every section of the State. Heretofore there has heen a feeling wide- spread and deepseated, that no matter how well the Democrats of the State did, their efforts would be overcome by fraudulent votes cast in Philadelphia. The convic- tion that such a condition conld not exist without the collusion of the Democratic organization made the matter more dis- hear tening and the result was that the Democrats throughout the State were prac- tically withont hope at the beginning of every campaign. however meritorious the candidates or auspicious the conditions otherwise. This year, however, it can be confident- ly stated that the organization in Phila- delphia will exhaust every available expe- dient to prevent fraud as well as to poli a full Democratic vote. It would ' proba- bly be too much to expect a complete eimi-. pation of fraud from the elections in Phila- delphia. Ina community where promi- nent citizens promote frand by contribut- ing funds for the compensation of the per- petrators, there is sure to be some frauds. But it may be predicted that this vear it will be reduced to a minimum and that in consequence of that fact the Republican majority in that city will not exceed 25,- 000, if it goes that high. With that ma- jority in Philadelphia the State is certain to be Democratic. In view of this fact the Democrats of Centre county ought to enter the campaign ‘with more than usual energy. This coun- ty is expected to do its share toward secur- ing an anti-QUAY majority in the Legisla- ture and it ought and will give the splen- did Democratic State ticket a substantial majority. Other counties in this section of the State are under the same obligations to enter upon the labor of the campaign with zeal and energy and to feel justified in predicting that in the event all do their duty the State of Pennsylvania will be res- cued from the blight of QUAYISM. A vast number of Republicans are ready to put. t heir. shoulders to the wheel and. Demo- | man p of the Republican state committee, has appointed W. E. GRAY and F. H. CrLEM- s ON members of his state central commit- tee to represent this senatorial district. Quay’s Manifold Woes. In the seclusion, not to say solitude, of his sea side sick chamber Senator QUAY might say with HERRICK: ‘‘thus woe su- ceeds a woe, as wave a wave,”’ or with HAMLET, ‘‘one woe doth tread upon an- other’s heel, so fast they follow.” The old man is certainly having a tough time of it. Having escaped ‘‘by the skin of his teeth’’ from a squall while Sunday fishing, he has since almost boiled his foot to a jel- ly by turning on the wrong spigot in the bath tub. Most men who fish off the At- lantie City coast have sense enough to come in before a storm breaks over their heads and small boys know enough to take their feet out of hot water before the boiling is complete, But QUAY appears not to have been equal to either emergency. Still we have the assurance of QUAY’S candidate for Governor that the Senator is a greater statesman than DANIEL WEBSTER or HENRY CLAY. Can any one imagine WEBSTER fishing on Sunday within ten miles of shore and so lost to environment and indications that a storm burst over him with such severity as to imperil his life? Would it be possible for anyone to create a picture in his mind of CLAY stand- ing helplessly in a bath tub with one or both his feet immersed in scalding water and yet unable to help himself. Itislittle things like these which fit men for the graver duties of statesmanship and we can hardly believe that a man who doesn’t know enough to get out of a boiling bath tub is equal to the highest duties of states- manship. QUAY has been a shrewd politician and maybe he has never lost a political fight, as PENNYPACKER asserts. Bub every man meets his match at one time or another and who knows but that QUAY’s first de- feat will be at the expense of his absurd p anegyrist ? Indeed there would be some- t hing like poetic justice in such a turn of fate and the signs point unerringly to that result. With an energetic canvass in be- half of the Democratic ticket carried into every section of the State and continued without interruption or abatement to the closing of the polls and a vigilant supervis- ion of the count and returns, the election of PATTISON is certain. —Poor old Senator McQUOWN. editor of the Clearfield Raftsman’s Journal, is mad because he wasn’t given the constitutional amendment to publish. It seems to us that, in the language of the poet, ‘‘he has no kick coming.’ He knew exactly what he was doing when he helped to elect that wet hen State Treasurer. ——————— End of the Philadelphia Times. The consolidation of the Philadelphia Public Ledger and the Philadelphia Zimes the other day is a curious development of modern metropolitan journalism. For years it has been a proverb among news- paper men that it is much more expensive and difficult to rebuild a broken down newspaper property than to establish a new one, though that is both an expensive and difficult undertaking. The Messrs OCBS, who had undertaken the labor of rehabili- tating the Zimes, bad been so successful in other cases that they entered upon the work in the greatest confidence. The consolida- tion in question is official notice of their failure. The Times was started twenty seven and a half years ago and its early life was phe- nomenally successful. Beforeit had reach- ed the adolescent age of six years it was making money for its owners faster than they could spend it and its influence was felt in the politics of the country, from ‘Maine to California. Its preparation was on the most expensive scale and its numer- ous staff of well paid editors and special writers cost annually ‘‘a king’s ransom.” But the revenues were redundant, never- theless, and the property became so valua- ble that its managers grew careless. Then the decay set in and for ten years it has been degenerating. : When the new owners found that it was impossible for them to restore the property to its high estate an alternative presented itself to their keen intelligence. It was an expensive one but they adopted it. It con- sisted in the consolidation which hase just occurred whereby the value of the second purchase was greatly enhanced by diminish- ing the competition and the revenues in- creased. They could have sold the disap- pointing property for a considerable sum, but the difference'between the cost and the selling price would have been a dead loss. covered and the remaining property will soon, it is boped, be worth all that was paid for both. ——Judge LOVE has appointed JoHN D.

Sulzer Denounces Roosevelt. Representative SULZER of New York ex- presses his opinion of President ROOSEVELT in a rather free but very emphatic way. “The President and his party,”’ : observes Mr. SULZER, ‘have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.” That ex- traordinary Fourth of July speech deliv- ered in Pittshurg was the occasion of the Congressman’s remarks. The promise im- mediately after the adjournment of Con- gress to do a thing which requires con- gressional co-operation, when no effort had been made to do it while Congress was in session, naturally excited the contempt of an outspoken man like SULZER and he expressed his feelings in no uucertain lan- guage. ‘President ROOSEVELT is no better than his party,’”’ Mr. SULZER remarked at the outset of an interview given to the public the other day, ‘‘and every one who can distinguish the difference between a hawk and a handsaw knows that the criminal trusts of the country dominate and own the Republican party, and that so long as the Republican party is in power the trusts will prosper and flourish like a green bay tree and continue to rob all the people all the time for the benefit of a few multi- millionaires and a half dozen plutocrats.”’ Notwithstanding this palpable fact, how- ever, President ROOSEVELT promised, in his Pittsburg speech, that he would destroy the trusts. President RoOSEVELT is nothing less than a braggart. No former President has ever heen so regardless of moral obligations. His reputation for consistency and his pledged word are alike matters of indif- ference to him and in his wild pursuit of the nomination he is making alliances with the most disreputable of the machine man- agers all over the country. Professional lobbyists like PAYNE of Wisconsin, pro- moters of ballot frauds like QUAY of Penn- sylvania and party adventurers of all types and degrees of disrespectability are his partners in intrigue and nothing is too rank for him. The ‘‘bronco buster’ is fast bringing disgrace on the great office which be reached by accident. ——The trastees of The Pennsylvania State College have decided to locate the new Carnegie library building north of the armory. Is will front on the avenue run- ning north along the side of the armory. Just why the trustees didn’t place it out behind the ‘‘college barn’? when they were at it will be rather hard for any one to nun- derstand who is not acquainted with the ultimate plans they have in contemplation. As it is proposed the main building,the la- dies eottage, botanical building, armory, Schwab chapel and Carnegie library are all huddled up in. an area 500 ft square, while there are five hundred acres of cam- pus surrounding them. In the course pursued the loss will be re- Quay’s Incongruous Committee. Senator QUAY has begun his campaign as chairman of the State committee by throwing a sop to each of the discordant elements of his party. Among the execu- tive committeemen named on Monday he included General JoHN P. ELKIN, and Colonel Louis A. WATRES. HIRAM Young, of York, a follower of WANA- MAKER, is also included and taking it al- together it is a collection of incongruous spirits such as probably was never brought together before. Possibly ELKIN and Gen- eral MILLER will pull together fairly well, for MILLER is the friend of STONE rather than QUAY. But when they get together, if there isn’t a scrimmage the meeting will be the wonder of the age. Of course QUAY’s purpose in thus com- plimen ting the representatives of these conflicting interests is to reconcile the friends of each to the outrage perpetrated upon them by the nomination of Cousin Say. ELKIN is put on on his own account and the same may be said of GEORGE T. OLIVER, of Pittsburg,and Colonel WATRES. General MILLER is clearly a bait for SroNE, Colonel LAMBERT and Colonel GILKESON for HASTINGS and GEORGE VON BONHURST for the friends of the late C. L. MAGEE. But in achieving a doubtful re- sult of questionable value the old man takes desperate chances of introducing dis- cord into. the organization which will be demoralizing, if not destructive. Besides the committee would be ineffi- cient even if it were harmonious. Except ELKIN, DAVE LANE and Colonel LAMBERT there is not a man in the list who can con- tribute an idea to the campaign. General MILLER can help materially in raising funds, for he can give a fortune himself and never feel it. GEORGE OLIVER might like- wise prove useful in that respect. But so faras any other service is concerned they will all be ‘‘deadheads in the enterprise’’ and QUAY won’t even have the satisfaction of a happy but useless family. Even PEN- NYPACKER must loose faith in the face of of such manifest iinbecility. He will cer- tainly not strengthen his good opinion of Cousin Marr by analyzing his committee. Unis ana Probably © neem ‘truthful in “his reply to the proposition of the King of Italy with respect to the par- tial disarmament of Europe in order that the difference in the cost of, maintaining a small and large army might be used in conducting a campaign against the United States for commercial supremacy. That is in declining the proposition he is unwise and in asserting that Germany is able to pay the expense of the present military es- tablishment is hardly truthful. Germany, like all other countries, is en- joying at the present time an era of pros- peritv. Bat it is not attributable to the inherent resources of the Empire. If is, as a matter of fact, ascribable to the British wars in South Africa and elsewhere, which have practically taken Great Britian out of the industrial and commercial competition of the world. With that practically dom- inating force removed an unprecedented in- dustrial activity has been maintained in Germany from the proceeds of which the people have been enjoying a fictitious prosperity. The emigration statistics of Germany, however, is the correct standard for the measurement of the capacity of the coun- try to meet burdensome obligations. If the people were able to bear the expense of the military establishment which the Kaiser maintains, there would be no’ such exodus of the sons and daughters of the Empire as has marked the past dozen years. Men and women don’t leave the home of their birth if they are prosperous and happy there, and the United States, where militarism has not obtained a hold, is the only country from which the outgo- ers are few and the incomers many. ——The advent of L. A. DRESSER, of Bradford, in town last Thursday night caused a slight ripple on theserenity of the surface of Dr. M. J. LOCKE’S local political puddle. As everyone knows Mr. DRESSER has a bar’l and the way some of the boys were warming up to him here was enough to indicate that they would be perfectly willing to sacrifice the ambitious physician if they could thereby get at the Bradford man's spigot.’ Of course Mr. DRESSER’S visit was purely friendly, for LOCKE has the endorsement of Centre county. He came over to see the leaders with whom he will he thrown in contact in fature manip- ulations of the new district and, necessari- ly; made inquiry as to whether Dr. LOCKE could be seen, - As the latter was out of town at the time it is only fair to say that he was not seen,but there is a rumor to the effect that REEDER fixed it up with DRESS- ER whereby the McKean candidate is to have four years in Congress and then the Centre county chairman is to have the same. They both thought it would not be well to permit Dr. LOCKE to do anything that might interfere with his practice,so he will not go to Washington. hody in which he became, during the last : wledged Real Heroes. From an Unknown Soarce While we're giving our attention to the heres of this earth And are boosting some to glory ev’ry day. Let us not contract the idea that the men of greatest worth. Are the men whose deeds consist of great display. War produced some mighty heroes who have left a deep impress And are worshipped by the men of ev'ry clime; But when talking of real heroes let us honestly confess They’re the men who keep on hustling all the time. Let us not annex the idea that a hero's born of war, For the greatest heroes never fought a fight; And the men who did most fighting—as a rule you'll find they are Fellows who were very seldom in the right. No, the very greatest heroes that the roll of history fills Never had their deeds of worth writ up in rhyme, They're the heroes of the workshops, of the farms and of the mills— They're the heroes that keep hustling all the time. You may talk of martial heroes till the toot of Gabriel's horn, And declaim about -your warriors till you're hoarse; But they’re not the greatest heroes that into the world were born, For compared ith some their work is very coarse. The real heroes wear no tokens, save the blisters on their hands; They're the toilers that abound in every clime. They're the very bone and sinew of all times and of all lands— Are the men who keep on hustling all the time, Onur Candidate for the Senate. From the Harrisburg Star Independent: The renomination of State Senator Wil- liam C. Heinle, of Bellefonte, by the Democrats of the Thirty-fourth Senatorial district is the cause of popular congratula- tion throughout the State. - It is a fit re- ward for splendid past service and a prac- tical guarantee of not only capable’ but honest representation of the district in the Senate for another term. During the last two sessions of the Legislature Senator Heinle was among the most earnest _guar- dians of the interest of the people in the cials are expected to a] Lenny the temptations to become venal were unusu- ally common and strong during the period of his service, resistance ought not to at- tract especial attention. But Senator Heinle was more than that. He was capable and vigilant as well as honest, and an active foe of corruption as well as an earnest cham- pion of the ‘cause of thé people. He not only saw corruption behind its mask, but attacked it wherever and whenever it ap- peared. There will be adetérniined effort mide to defeat Senator Heinle’s re-election, it is said, for the machine cherishes up resent- ment and higiwork during the last session is reme against him. But if the people of the'district are just to themselves he will be re-elected by an increased ma- jority. The defeat of a public official for no other reason than that he was faithful to his obligations would cast an aspersion on the people responsible for it and if Sen- ator Heinle is defeated it will be for no other reason. What They are There For. From the Johnstown Democrat. The expected has come to pass. Troops have heen ordered to help the coal barons in their fight againat organized labor. Os-: tensibly Governor Stone sends his soldiers to the anthracite region to protect the peace. Really they go there to help the Coal Trust to defeat the union. On the face of things Governor Stone basa good excuse. There has been -violence, and greater violence is in prospect. But bas there been no violence save that of work- ingmen trying to safeguard their ehance to make a living for themselves and for their families ? It has not seemed necessary to Governor Stone to order out the troops to suppress the flagrant lawlessness of the coal barons. But he makes haste to order the State’s armed men to go to the hard coal field to awe unhappy coal miners into submission to a monstrous tyrauny. Favorites or Victims. From Bourke Cochran’s 4th of July Oration. “Government of itself can oreate noth- ing, There is but one source of property, and that is the labor of human hands *ex- ercised directly on the bosom of the earth or on the products of the earth. ‘Since government cannot create anything, it has nothing of its own to bestow. If, there- fore, it undertakes to enrich one ‘man, the thing which it gives him it must take from some other man. Where it has a favorite it must have a victim, and obviously that government only is just and truly ‘benev- olent which has neither favorites nor vie- tims.” The Tariff Responsible. From the Rome (N. Y.) Sentinel. The people need not look to the Repub- lican party for relief from burdens imposed by the trusts, for the party, protection mad, will not get at the root of the evil and readjust the present tariff. It is the tariff which makes trusts in this conn- try possible, and the Republican party’s attitude in this regard is one of the things that will make an anti-trust. compaign by President Roosevelt difficult.
