EDITORIAL riENTION.
Who will continue to save tho
nation while Mr. Bryan is in
Europe?
The Sulton of Turkey is said to
have executed a coinpositer for
miking a typographical error.
For a man who made his first
speech in 1896 Senator Hanna is
giving Tom Johnson a pretty good
tussle.
Leader Murphy is after the liquor
vote in New York and promises to
make a saloon keeper Commission
er of Police.
Senator Hanna has adopted Tom
Jolinsou's weapons and now the
two leaders in the Ohio campaign
have engaged in a duel of personal
abuse.
Proffesor Langley's explanations
of the wreck of his airship remind
one of Bryan's explanations of his
failure to be elected president of
the United States.
It is thought that the Delaware
grand jurors who refused to indict
the Wilmington lynchers were
members of the congregation of the
preacher who justified the mob.
The New York mayoralty elect
ion involving the fortune if not the
fate of Tammany Hall is of Nat
ional importance. Mayor Low's
friends predict that he will be "re
elected handsomly."
A Perfect Painless Pill.
Is the one that will cleanse the system,
set the liver to action, remove the bile,
clear the constipation, cure headache and
leave a good taste in the mouth. The
famous little pills for doing such work
pleasantly and effi dually are DeWitt's
Little Early Risers, Bob Moore of Lafa
yette, Ind., says: "All other pills I have
used gripe and sicken, while DeWitt's
Little Early Risers are simply perfect."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. 12, 1903.
&Utor Press: —
Politicians here believe there
will be no currency legislation un
til after the presidential election.
Representative Hill, of Connecti
cut ranking, member of the last
House committee on banking and
currency, says that many republi
cans are discussing a plan of sub
mitting the question of financial
legislation to a joint committee
which will investigate the need of
currency reforms and make recom
mendations to Congress. The
Committee will either be named
by Congress or appointed by the
President from members of both
houses. It is believed that Con
gress would pay little heed to a
committee composed of outsiders.
While it is not certain that Con
gress would accept the recom
mendations of the* committee, it's
appointment is regarded as a wise
move for several reasons. It
would give the republican factions
an opportunity to argue their dif
ferences outside of the House, it
might find a measure upon which
they could agree, and it would
postpone any legislation on this
difficult subject until after the
presidential election. The party
could thus go before the country
without showing any lack of har
mony. Secretary Shaw, Senator
Aldricli and Representative Fowler
all have different plans for
currency reform. Speaker Cannon
is not certain that any is needed,
and the National Bankers' As
sociation has recently appointed a
committee to solve the problem.
It is thought that these different
interests should not be allowed to
conflict in a session preceeding a
presidential campaign. It is for
the same reason that even those
republicans who favor it have
decided to postpone tariff revision.
In the meantine Secretory Shaw
is doing all he can to relieve any
money stringency. Since Septem
ber Ist he has placed in circulation
a total of 822,274,500. He has
done this by increasing the govern
ment deposits in the national banks
and by the refunding and redemp
tion operations now in progress.
It is hoped that the Secretary can
prevent a money stringency and
thus remove all danger to the busi
ness world from the postponement
of currency legislation.
From recent political gossip the
following is interesting as showing
the sentiment of some of the people
of the South against President
Roosevelt. Mayor Smyth of
Charleston said in an interview,
"The south has no candidates. It
is anybody to bear Roosevelt, who is
most cordially disliked on account
! of his attitude on the race question.
Formerly he was popular with us.
When he was in Charleston during
the exposition he promised me, in
the presence of two other gentle
men, that no colored man would
be appointed to office in our state.
He had hardly returned to Wash
ington before he did the very thing
he promised he would not do."
Even if he named his two witnesses
Mayor Smyth will have great diffi
culty in convincing anyone that
President Roosevelt ever made him
such a promise.
Last Thursday the President has
as a guest at luncheon, Attorney
Folk who has become famous
through his relentless prosecution
of the St. Louis boodlers. Plans
were discussed for adding bribery
to the list of crimes mentioned in
the extradition treaties with for
eign countries. Mr. Folk is deep
ly interested in such a measure as
several of the men whom he had
indicted have taken refuge in Can
ada or Mexico. He believes that
agreements with foreign countries
should be made retroactive in order
to make it possible to get possession
of those who are already indicted.
The President showed much en
thusiasm for the plan and Secre
tary Hay was sent for, to whom
Mr. Folk explained his case. The
Secretary promised to take such
steps as seemed practical and as
soon as possible.

TO VOTE M BALLOT
Republicans Will Put a Cross la
Square Opposite Party Name.
NEW GROUPING OF CANDIDATES
The Nam** of the Parti** art Printed
On tho Extrume Left of th* Ballot,
and Thoro I* a Square AfUr Each
Party'* Nam*.
[Special Correspondence.]
Harrisburg, Oct. 13. —One of the Im
portant duties of the members of the
Republican county committee* through
out the state between now and election
day will be to instruct the voters re
garding the changes that hare been
made in the form of the official ballot
and the method of marking the ballot
eo as to cast a vote for the full Repub
lican ticket.
Under the provisions of the law as
passed at the last session of the legis
lature the ballot will be smaller than
heretofore. The party columns have
been abolished, and the names of the
candidates- will be grouped under the
titles of the different offices for which
they are running. The name of his
party, however, will be printed after
the name of each candidate.
In lieu of the party column and the
party circle at the head of each col
umn. there shall be printed on the ex
treme left of each ballot the names of
the several parties, and after the name
of each party there shall bo printed a
aquare of sufficient size to permit of
the convenient insertion of a cross
mark, like this:
. .
REPUBLICAN X |
I
DEMOCRATIC
' * i
PROHIBITION j
„ I
PUT CROSS MARK IN SQUARE.
This cross mark is to serve the same
purpose as did tho cross mark used for
the old ballot.
When this cross mark Is placed IB the
•Quare after the name of any party, in
this group of parties on the left ot th*
ballot, it signifies the Intention of tho
Voter to vote for all the candidates
nominated by that party.
Kvery mark within such aquare shall
be equivalent to a mark against every
name designated by that political ap
pellation or party name. Including can
didates nominated by more than one
»arty or group of citizens.
At the head of each ticket ahall bo
printed the following Instructions:
"To vote a straight party ticket mark
• cross (X) in the square opposite the
name of the party of your choice In tho
first column.
"A cross mark In the square op
posite the name of any candidate indi
cates a vote for that candidate."
INSTRUCTIONS AS TO COUNTINO.
A book of Instructions has been Is*
•ued by the Republican state commit*
tee, and Secretary Andrews expects
that before the end of this week he will
have coplea of the same In the hands
of all the county committeemen. In
this book, which also contains other
valuable data regarding the new law,
the following Instructions are given ta
alection officers regarding the method
ef counting the ballots:
The effect of a cross mark (X) fa
the square opposite the name of the
party of his choice. In the straight
party column on the left of the ballot,
shall be equivalent to a rote for every
candidate of the party so marked.
The placing of a cross mark (X) la
the square at the right of the name of
each candidate Indicates a Tola tor
each candidate so marked.
A cross mark (X) In the square ep>
posite the name of the party In th*
straight party column oa the left
the ballot, votes a straight ticket, and
Is equivalent to a vote for every can
didate of the party so marked, and the
Marking of one or more names In the
group of candidates of another party,
is the marking of more names thaa
tho voter is entitled to vote for.and It
a marking of the ballot otherwise than
is directed by the act. and the ballot
must not be counted for such office,
but must be counted for all other
flees, for which the name of the can
didates have been properly marked.
For example—A voter places a cross
mark opposite the name "REPUBLI
CAN" in tho column on the left of the
ballot—this mark would indicate that
he had voted for every candidate of
that party. If the voter, after having
•o marked his ballot, should place a
cross mark In tho square to the right
of the name of a candidate of the
Democratic party, his vote would not
be counted for either or any of the
candidates for that office, because the
voter would by doing so vote for more
candidates for that office than he is
entitled to vote for. his vote, however,
should be counted for all the other
candidates of the Republican party.
The placing of a cross mark in the
square opposite the name of the party
af hiß choice in the straight party col
umn on the left of the ballot, and at
the same time placing a cross mark
in the square to the right of the indi
vidual name of any or all of tho candi
dates of that party, will not affect the
validity of tho ballot. It will simply
be surplusage, and a vote must be
counted for each candidate of that
party.
When a candidate has died or with
drawn, and a substituted nomination
I* made after the ballots are printed
there shall he prepared and distributed
with the ballots suitable slips of pa
per bearing the substituted name, to
gether with tho title of tho offlco an!
having adhesive paste upon the reverse
side, which shall be offered to each
voter with tho regular ballot, and may
be affixed thereto. Under no other
clrcumstaares ran a "sticker" be used.
A voter must not cross out any
name on the ballot, nor eover a name
with a sticker or paster, except In th*
case referred to heroin.
Ballots with the name of a candidate
eraeed by a voter must be eounted,
for the name so erased. If a cross mark
has been placed In the square oppo
site to tho name of his party.
All votes should be counted, except
where the voter marks more names
Cor any office than he is entitled to
vote for, or for any reason It Is Impos
sible to determine the voter's choice
for any office, to be fillefl. The ballot
should be self-explanatory.
CURES CATARRH.
"Hyomei the Moit Wonderful Cure for Catarrh
Ever Discovered," says L. Taggart.
Do not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach; it cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way in
which this two common disease can be
cured is through a direct application that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and pre
vent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method ot
treatment that accomplishes this. It is
the simplest, most pleasant, and the only
absolute cure for catarrh that has ever
been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most promi
nent men and women in the couutry who
have been cured by this remarkable rem
edy. Ministers, bankers, lawyers, even
eminent physicians have given strong
testimonials as to the remarkable powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
«1 .00, consisting of an inhaler, dropper
and sufficieut Hyomei to last several
weeks. This will effect a cure in ordin
ary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated
cases of catarrh, longer use may be neces
sary. and then extra bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for 50c. It is not alone
the best (it might be called the only)
method of curing catarrh, but it is also
the most economical.
L. Taggart had so much confidence
in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh,
that he will for a limited time, sell this
medicine under his personal guarantee to
refund the money if the purchasers can
say that it did not help them.
