News from the Saratoga Convention

the e fleet that there was no slate to

wnom tne nomination would lall.
The Soldier Vote.
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. J his is indeed the case, not

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. Will
the rren of Pennsylvania rise above
the question of party and make it one

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.

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.
