We are told theTe are some 18,000 pensioners within the 17th, congress ional district. One half of these per haps are soldiers proper who think and vote. If so, the influence of this vote may be worth the consideration of those in search of office. The sol dier's vote is his capital, and it is the only kind that should be used to in .lucnce legislation in our opinion by b&idier or civilian. Had the Repub lican party cared for the rank and file as it aid lor me generals and admirals, and dependent parents et al., Demo cracy would have nothing to build on among the soldiers. But. alas, how different is the case? From Maine to California the soldier vote is split in twain, and so seriously and evenly spilt mat tno urand Army of the Re public has always been obliged to affect to be non partisan in order to hold together. It was greatly to the advantage of the Democratic party that the Republican party cared too much for its generals and admirals and too little for the rank and file during its long lease of power after the country was saved and the war was over. It was this haughty indiffer ence and neglect of rank and file taht permanently split the soldier vote in twain. The split has been the bane of Grand Army gatherings from that day to this. There is no possible reconci liation, because of Republican inequi ty and foolish Dension lecrislatinn. The gray and unpensioned soldier wnosc ciaim nas Deen pigeon holed since the days of Republican profli gacy knows too well that there are thousands drawing pensions to day who never entered the army and never in. ended to if by any means they could avoid it. For this condi tion of pension regulation he holds the Republican party first responsible, because of its professed sympathy, its lon lease of power und its absolute control for many years after the close of the war. And next the Democratic party, for not taking more speedy ad vantage of the opportunity to rectify Republican favoritism. Particularly to the shame and condemnation of the Republican party it must be said there are still thousands of soldiers proper unpensioned, while millions upon millions of dollars have been paid out to so-called dependent par ents and others than soldiers proper ever since the close of the war. To the unpensioned soldier proper this thought is not only offensive, but is is inexcusable, at least so far as the Republican party is concerned. Upon tue strength of such Republican in difference and neglect Democracy, under no particular party obligation, has grown strong and come into the . T.I - , . . gant and the haughty Repnblican party.

Free Tool and Blue Buin. We learn from the Scranton Truth that Mr. Magee, of Philadelphia, is urging the establishment of 1 tapestry carpet manufactory in that lively anthracite city. He tells the Scranton ians that under the operation of the present tariff, with its free raw material, the English manufacturers could not successfully compete in the home market. Mr. Magee says : A factory with 40 looms would re quire a building 50x150 feet and a capital of $150,000. This would permit the concern to pay spot cash tor materials and machinery. About two hundred girls and boys would be employed at wages ranging from $4 to $7 a week. Mr. Magee will take $25,000 worth of stock of the concern and acommittee of the board will call upon Scrantonians during the week for other subscriptions. This little speech of Mr. Magee, of Philadelphia, who is anxious to invest money in Scranton, is in strange con trast with the speech of General Hast ings to the people at the railway station at Johnsonburg, made on the same day. The General said to the Johnsonburgers : The campaign in Pennsylvania this year is not a question of individuals, but a question of principles. Shall this ruin of our industrial prosperity and progress go on, or will it be halted before the ruin is completed ? That is the question which you must answer at the polls in November ; that is the supreme issue of the moment.

Having found bv sad xnerienr thnt there is no money in shutting down for political effect, he is in a bad fix ; for if his business booms from the irrepressible law of demand for his wares why then the boom gives the lie to the hieh orotectionit th ram. paign opener, the stump speaker, and the calamity howler who points to idle mills, &c. Irrepressible busings activity is falling like a wet blanket upon the political fire the outs would kindle in order to iret in. It rohs them completely. And the worst of i is that neither Democratic foolr-rv or Republican chicanery can head off th law of demand now when dnllneu particalarly is needed by the outs. Its a sad case, indeed. The reorganization of the hantf. rupt Philadelphia and Readintr Rail. road Company is now among the possibilities. The plan has been ar ranged by Frederick P. Olcott, chair man, and George H. Earle, Jr., of the uoara 01 managers, n involves the assessment or contribution of $10,000, 000. The annual fed charges of the company are placed at $10,447,590.

War Atroad Amocg the Heathens. While Japan, elated by early vic tories, has determined to prosecute a sharp and decisive war against China, the Chinese, beitv of a more phleg matic temperament, will fight it out to the bitter end if it tikes 30 years, according t j the declaration of a prominent member of the Chinese Legation in Berlin. There seems to l-c no disposition on the part of either China or Japan to cease hostilities. Viscount Aoki, the Japanese minister, says : "It is useless to talk about cessation of hostilities," upon the one hand, while an important Chinese authority says : " China cannot, dare not, and will not give up Korea to Japan." If modem appliances and implements of warfare are used to fight with it will not take the half of thirty years, however, to exterminate all the Chinese and Japanese on the face of the earth. For modern appli ances, such as this Yankee nation might sell and deliver them, for instance, would sweep the earth of every living thing within their range in less time than that. If both nations adopt primitive methods of warfare they can prolong the war. no doubt But as Japan, at least, is not apt to do this,. China cannot afford to. The number of war vessels already sunk out of sight indicate that they must have modern boring machines that they are shooting at each other, Vhen the land forces once fairly meet each other, awav from the ranee of gun boats, it will not take long to determine the killing effect of their small arms. If they are of modern construction a bamboo shield will not answer for breastworks, as both armies will soon find out. They will want what we used to call a "sonher ' to crawl into when the shooting be gins. Attention Democrats! The Democratic Societies of Penn sylvania, over signatures of Chauncey t. tiiacic, president, James A. Strana han, Chairman, and John D. Worman becretary, are called into annual General Assembly on Friday noon, October uth, 1S04, at Altoona. The Assembly will be one of the most interesting and important in the mstory ot the bociety. in will be the principal event in the pending Cam paign, and it is expected that it will draw together all the most active and earnest Democrats in the State. Our candidate for Governor, Hon. William M. Singerly, and all his col leagues on the State ticket will be present. The members of the Demo cratic State Administration, the Chair man of the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Members of Congress from Pennsylvania, and all Chairmen of Democratic Commit tees are especially invited and expect ed. It will be a grand Congress of the Democrats of IV-nnsylvania and for mutual counsel and encouragement. it is believed that with proper orcrani zation and united efforts we can, this year, give the monopolist enemy considerable surprise in the November returns. Ad Democratic Societies are advised to elect their deputies at the earliest convenient date and repuit them promptly to Major John D. Wor man, General Secretary, at State Committee headquarters, Lafayette Hotel, Philadelphia, as seats will be assigned according to priority on the rolls. McKinley Democrats.

Western Tornado. From the ill-fated west (more par ticularly Minnesota and Iowa) comes again sad news of devastation and desolation. Reports, dated the 93d inst., from Saint Paul, record a fear ful tornado and one of the most des tructive storms that has yet visited that section. At least a dozen towns besides farms injured were more or less seriously affected by the terrific wind. The track of the storm runs across the State just north of Emmets burg and Algona, and within this track nothing seems to have been able to withstand the destructive force of the electrical wind cuirent. The towns mot seriously affscted being Cylinder, Leroy, Spring Valley, Homer, Lowther, Dode Center, Manly Junction, Burt, Forest City and Marshland. The chilly atmosphere that reached us Monday no donbt came from the hail that accompanied this storm ; for during the storm hail fell for an hour, and no house in its path escaped with whole windos. The killed are vari ously estimated from 50 to 100 per sons. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE. Kitait of Sufeimi Hl-Atr, Inttt of FUhtngtrrrk Miciahlp, (JecrauiX.
