W. Stone to Congress. SIBLEY SHOULD 111". JJEATKX. Philadelphia Inquirer. The latest effort of the foes of Republicanism in Pennsylvania to bring division in the party ranks is the circulation o 112 a cock and bull story, without a semblance of truth in it, that the Republican organiz ation is seeking to elect Mr. Sibley to Congress in tin- Twenty-seventh district. This district is composed of Cameron. Mckean. Warren and Venango counties, and has been represented for several terms by Charles W. Stone, one of the brain iest men in the House. The Republican organization is not lending its influence in behalf of Democratic Congressmen in the State. The light for Congress is going to be close enough in any event , and every Republican mem ber from Pennsylvania will be needed. The story is that Mr. Stone is to be beaten because he assumed to be a candidate for Gov ernor before the convention. This is simply absurd. Mr. Stone was a candidate, as he had a right to be. lie was defeated squarely and 110 growls have come from him. He was renominated for Congress, and every true Republican in his district will vote for him. What is more, every sound money demo crat should vote for him also. Sibley is a dangerous man. He believes thoroughly in free trade and free silver and is not the sort of a Representative that any district in Pennsylvania ought to send to Washington. Mr. Stone has a large Republican district back of him, and the Republicans of it should take pride in giving him an overwhelming majority. A SIM 1UT1SI) CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST. Philadelphia Times. The Congressional contest in the Twenty-seventh district of I'enn- sylvania, composed of the count ion of Venango, Warren, McKeanand Cameron, lias suddenly become an intensely exciting and possibly a doubtful one in consequence of the appearance of Ex-Congressman Joseph C. Sibley as the Democratic candidate. The district is Repub lican by a majority ranging any where from .'{,ooo to 5,000. It has been represented since 181)0 by Representative C. W. Stone, of Warren, who is easily one of the leading members of the Pennsyl vania delegation in the House, and at the present time chairman of its most important committees. In the face of the strong Repub lican majority in the district, and the exceptionally good record of the present Representative it is evident that Mr, Sibley would not have accepted a nomination without the assurances upon which lie thinks ho can rely of strong Republican support. While he is both rich and ambitious Mr. Sibley is not a rainbow chaser. He is doubtless willing to spend money liberally to get elected to Congress, but lie is not willing to throw money away on a hopeless contest, and a hopeless contest it would certainly be if he could only poll the Democratic vote of the dis trict. The charge has been made that Mr. Sibley has consented to be a candidate at the solicitation of several hundred leading Republi cans of the district, and that the object is to punish Stone for having aspired to the Governorship. This charge is denied with a great deal of emphasis by Chairman Elkin, of the Republican State Committe, but the action of the organization Republicans of the district will prove more convincing than a denial from the State chair man. If they work and vote loy ally for Congressman Stone he will be elected, for it is not conceivable that a few disappointed applicants for postofFices can through a recital of their own private grievances change Republican votes enough from Stone to Sibley to defeat the former and elect the latter. If Sibley be elected and Stone beaten it will be because of an organized movement on the part of the dom inant Republican wing of the party in the district, and a dozen or a thousand denials from the Repub lican State Chairman will not alter the fact. Whatever the assurances of Re publican support given to Mr. Sibley, the honest, fair-minded voters of the district should see to it that Mr. Stone is returned to Congress by an overwelming maj ority. He stands for honest money and the honest fulfillment of all the governments promises, and Mr. Sibley, his opponent, stands as a conspicuous outspoken cham pion of a dishonest dollar. So conspicuous is he in the party of repudiation that he was seriously considered as the Democratic can didate for Vice President at the Chicago convention in I.S'.KS, and lie is known everywhere as one of the most positive advocates of the free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. Mr. Stone, on the contrary, as the chairman of the committee oil coinage, weights and measures, has by speech and vote in season and out of season stood for the main tenance of an honest money stan dard, and his defeat would be more than the defeat of tlie honest money sentiment of his district— it would be a serious loss to the cause of honesty and integrity for the whole country. If there are any Republicans iu the Twenty seventh district who have a private grievance against Congressman Stone they should forget it in the public interest, and every sound money Democrat should support Mr. Stone as a matter of public duty. WASHINGTON LETTER. , would not support him if he should again head the Democratic ticket." It is believed that Gov. Holeomb told Col. Bryan that he feared the Republicans would carry the State, and that if they did, bis chances for again heading the Democratic Presidential ticket would not be very promising. Nothing more than amusement is felt in Washington about the story that Aguinaldo, the head of the Philippine insurgents intends to drive our army out of the Philip pines and turn the islands over to Germany. Admiral Dewey and Gen. Otis are not men to be driven out by any country's soldiers, and the idea of being driven by the rabble which composes the insur gent army is too ridiculous to be entertained for a moment, and that Germany has any idea of openly assisting the insurgents in any movement against the Ameri cans is not at all probable. Nothing official has been given out on the subject, but it is known that the request of the Spanish Military Commissioners to make a six months' job of evacuating Cuba has been very positively refused. The Spaniards have been cour teously, bill firmly told thai the evacuation of Cuba' must begin not later than October, and must be completed before the end of Dec ember. (.'apt. K. W. Austin, C. S. Mar shal for the Eastern District of Tennessee, now in Washington, said of public sentiment in his State:"The most popular man with Tennesseeans is President MeKinley, whose course in the war won for him the approbation of men of all parties. The idea of retaining every acre of conquered territory is favored in our State. The opening up of Cuba and Porto Rico will be of immense advantage to the South, for it will give us a splendid market for our coal and iron, Hour and other products. To a man we are in favor of building the Nicaragua canal, the construc tion of which will add millions to the revenues of the Southern states.'' This is a years when all true Republicans ought to stand as a unit against the allied foes of the party. MeKinley is in Washing ton and must be supported. We have had experience with one soup house administration and ought to be thankful that a patriotic Presi dent is in the White House.— Philadelphia 1 nquirer. Li Hung Chang bobs up serenely once more. What Jenks Didn't Mention. 'Tf you haven't anything better to do, you would better read the Acts of 1597," was the droll re mark with which Mr. Jenks closed the pamphlet laws Thursday night, says the Bradford Star. He had been looking for something with which to find fault. If he bad been intending to fairly commend the Legislature for whatever good deeds it did, he would have read off to the audience the titles of the following acts among others: Prohibiting the discharge of Cmon soldiers from public posi tions without reasonable cause. To prohibit the aiding and abet ting of fraudulent voting. Establishing Labor Day. Prohibiting sweat shops. Making eight hours a legal day's work Prohibiting political assessment of officers and employes. Establishing and maintaining free public libraries by boroughs. Amending the compulsory school law and providing for cost of trans portation of children in certain cases. Establishing free kindergartens. Providing for the health and safety (under inspection) of men, women and children employed in manufacturing and other estab lishments. Requiring payment of interest on State deposits. Authorizing joint appeal of labor claimants. Punishing the adulteration of cream, milk, vinegar and drugs. Prohibiting interference with the right to join labor organiza tions. Prohibiting the voting upon tax receipt where the tax has been paid by another person. Protecting the American Hag from insult and degradation and prohibiting its use for advertising purposes. Let the issues be fairly stated and the Legislature be judged upon its merits as well as upon its de merits. Sir Claude McDonald again shows his claws. How to Look Good. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending on a healthy condi tion of all the vital organs. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look; if your stomach is disordered, you have a dyspeptic look; if your kid neys are affected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health and you will surely have good looks. Electric Bitters is a good alterative and tonic. Acts directly 011 the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pim ples, blotches and boils and gives a good complexion. Every bottle guar anteed. Sold at L.
