In accorJance with the resolution passed at a meeting of the Demo cratic Executive Committee on July j 4, 1S95, I hereby g.ve notice that the Democrats of Pennsylvania by their duly chosen representatives wul meet in State Convention in William sport, on Wednesday. September it, 1895, at 10 o'clock A. M, for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates lor tne office ot Mate Treasurer and Judges o the Superior Court, and for the transaction of such other business as mav be presented. In accordance with Rule 6, Section 1, unanimously approved by the State Convention September 19, 1S95, representees shall consist of repre sentative delegates, one for each one thousand votes cast at the last preced ing Presidential election or for & frac tion of such vote amounting to five hundred or more, in the respective representative districts, provided that each representative district shall have at least one delegate. R. E. Wright, Chairman. Matt Savage, Secretary. Charles Emory Smith's little boom let for the United States Senatorship was decently buried last week ednes- day by Senator Quay. ME. BISSELL OFFERED THE JUDGE SHIP. It is stated on good authority that ex Postmaster General W. S. Bissell has been offered the place on the United States supreme court bench made vacant by the death of Justice Jackson. The information came from a close friend of Mr. Bissell in Buffalo, and it stated that the ex postmaster genera! himself revealed the secret be fore he left Buffalo last week. Mr. Bissell, so it is stated, received a communication direct from Mr. Cleveland making an unconditional proffer of the appointment. The com-rouTV'-iticr further aked Mr. Bissell to come and see him concerning the matter. Mr. Bissell. it is stated, declared he would not take the appointment. In giving his reasons for declining the honor, he is sta:ed to have said : " I have tried Washington life under fav orable circumstances and I prefer Buf falo. I .': r.ot care to return to Washington and the offer of the judge ship will not tempt me to do it. I will go to see Mr. Cleveland but I wiil not accept the office. I do not want it. I would rathcrjUvjn Buf falo." " ' - " Thj It Was TJsaaimons. Senator Quay's unanimous election as chairman of the Republican State committee was brought about as fol lows : First. When Colonel Haywood, candidate for State Treasurer, saw that Quay had a clear majority in the convention he promptly notified the lobby Combine that he and his friends would join the ranks of the triumph ant opposition. This left only a frag ment of the anti Quay people. Second. The Republican candid ates for the Superior Court from Northampton, Luzerne, Lackawanna and Huntingdon counties, finding that Quay could knock them out in the first round, gave quick notice that their delegates would likewise join the Quay forces. Third. There was then nothing left but Lobbyist Martin's stragglers from Philadelphia, Lobbyist Magee's stragglers from Pittsburg, with a small circle of delegates radiating around Governor Hastings from tne region of Centre county. The most they could do was to pull themselves together, tumble into the sweeping Quay pro cession, and thus the convention be came unanimous. So ends the story.- Timet. A New Bute. Gn July 4th of next year Utah will be admitted into the Union. In ac cordance therewith, the order for the additional star has been issued by Secretary Lamont, The size of the flag will also be changed. The stand ard has heretofore been six by five feet, and under the order the regula tion size will be five feet six inches by four feet five inches. The flag will hereafter contain forty five stars. THE HOPES CF EASTTUGS. Il is not surprisim; that the am'oi tior.s of Senator Qu.iy are once again turned to the governorship. It is not a new longing ears ago he con etived the desire to sit in the execu tive chair and these close to him say he never abandoned it. It must be a position now more desirable to him than ever befors. If he really means to enforce any of the reforms he enumerates in his platform he could find no better place fot the exercise of his poer. And if he wants to make his combine enemies " nightmares of the past " there is no position through which he coulJ so speedily compel their extermination. And while the senator's hopes are in tome likelihood of being fulfilled we are reminded thereby of the reverse side, namely the defeat of his opponent, Governor Hastings, and the painful extinguish ment of some of his highest hopes. But while Senator Quay was indirectly concerned in it it is to be said that the worst blow given the expectations of the governor came from one of bis own friends, a combine boss. This wis some weeks before the convention. Met at the executive mansion, expectant of a sweeping victory, were DtviJ Martin, Chris. Magee and a few others. The phases of the contests were discussed and considered and future action was then taken up. " Now, gentlemen, before we go further." the governor is re ported to have said on this occasion " let us recall some of our earlier understandings and agreements, You, Magee," looking at the Pittsburg boss, " know what is for you and Martin," turning to the Philadelphian, "you have outlined your expectations to which we are agreed. Is my future uncnanged t As I understand it, gen tlemen, I am to be Mr. Cameron's successor. Does that still hold ?" The Philadelphia boss was silent and motionless for a moment Magee's face had its usual cover of effrontery, but his lips didn't move. " Better tell him, Chris ," said Martin breaking the silence with a half whisper. " Why, Dan," said Magee, start ing in as it there had been no pause and as u the urging or Martin was un needed, " why Dan, do you think we are blanked fools ? Do vou suppose we would take you out of this chair and put alter Lyon, our biggest enemy, in ? Where, then, would Dave be ? Where would I be? Why Matt Quay wouldn't allow Walter Lyon to leave a speck of us above ground." The governor was amazed. He had not counted on such an over throw. Least of all had he expected such rough candor. When he went into the fight the constitution stood as now. When, it was proposed that he should succeed Cameron it was just as plain that Lyon would succeed him. There had been no change in conditions. Why was the promise made ? Only to be broken ? He ventured another inquiry. " What do I get, then ?" " What do you get ?" echoed the coarse Pittsburg boss. ' Why, haven't you got the governorship with its honors and emoluments. Can't we present you as Pennsylvania's presi dential candidate and give you all the glory of that ? No, Dan, you can have a good deal but you can't have everything." Can the governor's dismay be imagined ? How many other jack o'lanterns had the more experienced and less heartless bosses baen taming his eyes toward to sin his favors and his help ? Is it strange that he has 1 left the scene of the struggle where j his own friends showed the signs ofj betrayal and his enemies berated and beat him ? Is it strange that he is seeking seclusion and refusing to callers admission ? Would it be strange if he should yet be found linked with the fortunes of Matthew Stanley Quay ? Patriot. GFJTEBAL HEWS.

Dr. Forbes Winslow. a London physician now in this country, says mar, "jacK, tne Kipper is conhned in a lunatic asylum in England, The story told by Dr. Winslow is as follows : " 'lack the Ripper' was a young medical student, of good family. He studied hard, and his mind, being naturally weak, gave way. He became a religious enthusiast and his religious fervor resulted in homi cidal mania toward the women of the street, and impelled him to murder them.

Nor is it treoeranhical location that urges men to such crime. rrorn ;ew lor Day to the Pacific and fiora Central Pennylnia to Florida, lynchings have been commit ted. There can be no other explanation advanced except that the United States is growing more lawless each year. 1 ne recoru ot each succeeding year is more closely fi'.leJ with mur ders, robberies, assaults, lynchings and all other crimes. Outrages upon women, and especially upon girls, are becoming extremely frequent. All known vice, and vices until recently almost wholly unknown, are practiced oftener and more publicly than ever. Lawlessness of corporations, aided by officers of the law, venality of law officers, bribery and bribe taking of legislative bodies, contempt of indi vidual rights and liberties by petty officials and prominent judges, ail of these and much more lead up to the crowning offense against law and order, the anarchistic pretense of aid to government, lynching. If the citation of rapidly increasing offenses appears to be exaggerated read the papers. That crime is on the increase cannot be doubted. That human life is held cheaply alike by those who sacrifice it and by those sworn to protect it is beyond dispute. We will soon, if this tendency is rot checked, become the rr.ost vicious and lawless people in the world. Patriot. There are many people who will not agree witn the Patriot that crime is on the increase. A New York clergyman only a short time ago, pro claimed that the world is growing better. It cannot be successfully denied however, that the reports of murders, burglaries, outrages on women, and nearly every other form 01 crime, in tne newspapers, are much more numerous than ever before. If crime is not on the increase, it must be that the newspapers are more active in catering to the morbid ap petites of their readers, hv rvihlishincr accounts of crimes committed with all the horrible details at length. The records of the police courts ar sojrr!.. ed and the reporters of the city dailies nere nna material for column after column of matter eivin? ruhlicitv to the depraved side of human nature. xi crime is on the increase, and we believe it is, it is because this country has been flooded with the criminal classes cf Europe. Our ports are open to everybody except the Chinese and a few paupers. Occasionally one sees in the papers an account of a Chinese murder, but to one of these there are a hundred arnonir the Huns and Poles, and the offscourings of other countries who have been per mitted to hnJ on the shores of " free America." Crime is on the increase. and so long as the mistaken policy of the United States shall rrintinii. in permitting unlimited immigration of the criminal classes of the old world, so long will it continue to increase.

ELEVEN THOUSAND MEN AFFECTED. The fourth conference of the win dow glass manufacturers and workers met in Pittsburg last Saturday. The conference concluded its labors by giving the workmen a virtual advance of eleven per cent. About 10,000 men are affected, of whom 5,000 are skilled workers. The advance was seven and a half per cent on the wages paid last year, on a straight list basis, but embracing the wage rates on the new brackets was fixed, the average advance is elevated to about eleven per cent. They are still working under an eleven and a half per cent, reduction from the wages of 1893, when the Window Glass Workers' union con ceded a twenty-two and a half per eent. reduction. The advance is larger than was ex pected. In addition to this raise, the double strength bracket has been ar ranged as follows : Twenty four by thirty-six from $1.30 to $1.40; thirty by forty-one from $1.60 to $1.70, and all of the bracket from $6.30 to $7. The workers are jubilant over the result, and claim a victory. Both sides are pleased over the settlement, and preparation will be made at once to put the factories in shape for a start on September 31. All the glass workers of the country will be bene fitted.
