Mayor BERRY, of Chester,the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, made two speeches Jast week and on both occasions he had every reason to be satisfied with the resuls. On one of these occasions he addressed a vast audience at William's Grove, Cumberland county, where the Grangers’s picnic was in progress. The day before his antagonist, Mr. PLUMMER, had spoken from the same platform, and as one of the spectators said received a frost thas was literally painful. Mr. BERRY’S recep- tion was enthusiastic and his speech ap- plauded to the echo. The second speech was at Pen Argyle, Northampton county, on Saturday evening and it has been described as an event of ex- traordinary preparation and enthusiasm. Thousands of people listened entranced with his eloquent arraignment of the Ma- chine; and at the conclusion of the exercises there was a reception which’ was in reality an ovation. The keenest interest in the contest was revealed and hundreds of Re- publicans gave Mr. BERRY assurance of their sympathy and support. It was like an awakening of the old-time spirit in the famous Tenth Legion. ; Within a week plans will have been com- pleted to carry an aggressive campaign in- to all the sections of the State. Mr. BERRY will visit every county, if possible, and speak in at least one place in each. The local organizations have heen urged to ac- tivity, moreover, and now that the assess- ment and registration bave heen completed, the fall energies of the party rank and file will be bent to the work of arousing the conscience and the patriotism of the people. With an honest vote in the cities, practically gaaranteed, the outlook is for an overwhelming Demnoratic victory. “Bull” Andrews in Command. ‘Bull’ ANDREWS has jome from New Mexico to save the Pennsylvania machine. This aunouncement has practically been made by all the leading newspapers of the State and is supported by the most sub- stantial circumstantial evidence. That is to say ‘‘Bull’’ ANDREWS is actually in Philadelphia. The moment he arrived he went into conference with PENROSE, DUR- HAM and the other ‘‘oriminals masquerad- ing as the Republican party,’’ andthe policy of meeting existing political condi: tions has been chauged since his arrival. In other words, ‘‘Bull‘‘ ANDREWS has taken command of the machine craft and he is going to fight instead: of fool.: ’| a Democrat, ’’the friend of the ‘‘Ball’’ con- We have the authority ofa Harrisburg newspaper for the statement that a few days ago one of the intimate political and personal friends of Mr. ANDREWS condemn- ed with much vebemence and great bit- terness the nomination of Justice STEW- ART for the Supreme bench by the Repub- lican committee. ‘STEWART is not a Republican,’”” the gentleman said, ‘‘and has no sympathy with that party. He is tinued, ‘‘and is properly the candidate of that party. His nomination by the Re- publicans leaves nothing to contend for in which the corporations are interested, and we have nothing to fight for.” In o ther words, there is nothing through which to extraot boodle from the corporations. “If QUAY had lived,”” former Governor STONE practically alleged the other day, ‘STEWART would not have been the candi- date.”” “If ANDREWS had been in charge of the organization,’’ his friend subtantial- ly declared, *‘‘STEWART would have been held up before the corporation magnates as a bogie whose friendship could only be secured by liberal contributions. It is too late for that now, of course, but ANDREWS will devise some means of forcing contribu- tions from the corporation treasuries and he will try to restore the machine to power by force rather than conciliation. We will see what will be the result. The Status of the Soldier's Monument and Curtin Memorial. We have been informed that definite in- formation in regard to the progress of the granite and bronze work for our soldiers’ monument has been received, the present status being about as follows: The Cartin statue is completed and is in the hands of the bronze founders at Provi- dence, R. I., ready to be cast. The two end panels, representing ‘‘Peace’”’ and “War,” are in plaster ready for the cast- ing. The panels for the pedestal of the Cartin statue are also finished, with the exception of about two day’s work on the third, which represents the passing of a Pennsylvania Reserve regiment in front of the Governor. The other two represent the Governor meeting two soldiers’ orphans in front of the capitol, with the Scotland Soldiers’ Orphans’ Industrial school build- ing in clouds to the left, indicating what was the thought in the Governor’s mind which was afterwards worked out to com- pletion through the legislation of Pennsyl- vania, after nearly forty years. The third panel represents the Governor presenting a flag to the colonel of the regiment. One of the soldiers’ orphans who has seen the panel relating to the meeting with the children, says: ‘‘The panel representing the soldiers’ orphans is completed in plas- ter and I am more than pleased with it. The conception and execution are faunls- less.” It may hesaid as to_all the art relating | to the monument that it has been done hy one of the most celebrated young sculptors of the country, W. Clark Noble, who has a reputation second to none of his age. The contractor for the granite work says: ‘‘We can commence shipping the granite by the middle of this month. We shall want to ship the lower courses first and fol- low it up, 80 a3 to keep the setters going. If we can do this regularly, the monument should be completed by—say November 15th.” The bronze panels containing the names of the soldiers have not been cast. Indeed none of them have yet been arranged, but the names have heen forwarded so that the work can go on as soon as the exact num- ber to be cast is determined. There are bus twenty panels and there will be in the neighborhood of 3,500 names. It will re- quire much crowding, therefore, to get them all upon the regular panels. = If, however, this should be impossible, the main columns of the monument can be utilized for that purpose. No names which should go upon the monument will be omitted, but i6 is important that everyone interested should co-operate in securing not only the names but the proper spelling of them. In view of the character of the work it is remarkable that it has progressed as rapid- ly as it has. Ars work is proverbially slow and sculptors work only as they are moved by inspiration. We have been fortunate in securing a man who worked industrionsly, even daring the summer. It will probably be well to take with some grains of allowance the statement of the contractor for the granite work thas the monument will be completed by the 15th of November. It would nos be at all sur- prising if it were not finished for a month later, in view of the enormous labor in- valved in getting out and wetting up the immense amount of granite required and in preparing all the panels containing the Dames. : : It has been very difficul$ to carry all the several parts of work forward at the same time. - The summer vacation is now so general that is is very difficult to reach many persons during the summer time. For example, Col. McClure has been asked to write she inscription to go upon the fourth panel of the Curtin statue and, al- though the request for him to do so was sent over two months ago, there is no re- sponse as yet, doubtless owing to the fact that he has been ahsent from his home on hie summer vacation. That, however, isa -matter very eaeily fixed. Baus, in view of the number of people and the divers indus- | tries and interests involved, our people must exerciee patience and be ready to re- spond liberally to the appeal for the funds necessary to complete the monument. The -association will need for this parpose, in addition to all that has so far been provid- ed, from six fo eight thousand dollars.

Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 4—The most sweeping and significant victory won in recent years in the prosecution of rich dealers in oleomargarine, who, backed by the packers’ trust in Chi- cago, have been hard to reach with any permanent effect, came through an injunction granted in this city. Judge Kennedy, in quarter sessions court, signed decrees restraining 21 accused dealers in oleomargarine from further selling that commodity in this county. It has been the practice of those dealers in oleomargarine here to go ahead selling after the indictment has been found, and it often happens that many months elapse before the case is reached, and in the meantime the profitable offense is continued. But this injunction prevents any further sale of the oleomargarine pending the disposition of the cases already brought for the offense. An Open Letter. Ampeal to the Management of the Centre County Fair, Grange Picnic and Business Men’s Picnic. We, as citizens, having the welfare of the community at heart, and minifal of forces which are admittedly inimical to a high standard of national morality,do here- by make public appeal to the president, of- ficers aud committemen having in charge the sale and granting of privileges at the coming events that they restrict and pro- hibit all gambling devices of whatever kind and also see to it that betting at the horse racing be strictly excluded. It is a matter of common knowledge and sad comment that the condition at Saratoga, and in a lesser degree at other race tracks and county fairs throughout the country, have been a national disgrace and a men- ace to decency of manners, common thrift and average morality. The youthful and the ignorant are with- out question contaminated and corrupted by the prevalence of the spirit and practice of gambling in all forms, often adroitly con- trived so as to avoid the letter of the law, but common and equal in their effects; games not of educative skill and sport, bus of debilitating hazard and chance. The mayor of Cleveland,famous for right doing and fearless decision, has, this sum- mer, prohibited such abuses at the Grand Circuit of Ohio, and in our own State, sim- ilar measures have been taken by State and county officials to the lasting credit and fair fame of the locality. May we nos expect as much from the officers in charge of our own local events? Let us, sofar as we can, protect the youthful, the ignorant and the vicious, who are so quickly led astray, from the too easy employment of the worser activities of their pature and from the formation of habits which are not profitable to themselves, the community or the nation, but tend to dis- ‘integrate thrift, honesty, respectability and the moral health of society.
