EDITORIAL riENTION.
Japan hopes to get something
"equally as good" in Corea.
The sword of .Justice seems
powerless against the pistol in
South Carolina.
Tom Johnson is trying to force
Senator llanna to evacuate the
United States Senate.
It is said that Senator Gorman
is already planning for a second
term in the White House.
President Roosevelt's advice to
the Maryland republicans seems to
have worried Senator Gorman.
If the socialist editors of Ger
many continue to discuss the
Kaiser, the prisons in the Father
laud will have to he enlarged.
South Carolina politicians who
contemplate disposing of their en
emies should remember that Till
man had to hire twelve lawyers.
The yellow press has been such
a success that William Randolph
Hearst believes we want a yellow
administration.
The Free Traders in England
have started a Free Food League.
It will probably suffer the same
fate as the Free Silver league in
this couutry.
A catalogue of abusive epithets
will not be lacking in the New
York municipal campaign, if the
party orators will sit at the feet of
Gomalial Howie.
Puerto Rico is being srtongly
fortified by our government. It
will serve as an excellent "No
Trespassing" sign for the Monroe
Doctrine.
Mr. Bryan's paper explains that
a man may amass a fortune with
out being a plutocrat. It cites
former Governor Hogg, of Texas,
as an example, but it doubtless re
fers to its own editor.
P. C. Gorman, brother of the
United States Senator from Mary
land has been dropped from the
rolls of the Treasury Department
"for the good of the service."
Perhaps this will induce the Mary
land senator to make another at
tack on the President.

Would Like to See a Reduction In
Republican Majorities In State.
VAINLY LOOKING TO NEXT YEAR
Chairman Penrose and General Bing
ham Give Warning to Republicans
to Be Active and Alert.
[Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia. Oct. 20.—An unex
pected move on the part of the De
mocracy to put Bome life Into their
State campaign during the last week
has put the Republicans on guard and
stimulated the majority party work
ers to renewed efforts to Insure a
groat Republican triumph at the com
ing election.
With election day but two weeks off
from to-day—it falls on November 3
this year—there is little tiuie left for
the county committeemen to prepare
for the battle of the ballots.
While none but gratifying reports
have been received by Chairman Pen
rose and Secretary Andrews at Re
publican State Headquarters, the Re
publican field marshal proposes to la
bor incessantly until the polls are
closed to get out the largest possible
percentage of the enrolled Republican
vote.
A FINAL APPEAL.
A final appeal has been made this
week by Chairman Penrose to the
six thousand and more county com
mitteemen throughout the State to
devote their best energies to the
cause during the few days of the cam
paign. He congratulates them upon
their conscientious work up to date
and reminds them that the contest is
far more important than It appears to
be upon its face. The facts are, he
contends, that it is the opening skir
mish of the great battle to be fought
next year when a president, a vice
president, representatives in con
gress, and members of the general as
sembly are to be chosen, and an over
whelming victory will have great In
fluence upon the more importatnt
campaign next year.
There is no attempt to create the
impression that the Republican ticket
is in danger, but stress is laid upon
the fact that the greater the Repub
lican majority will be next month, the
greater will bo the influence of the
election returns from Pennsylvania In
moulding sentiment throughout the
country and affecting political condi
tions generally.
Capitalists and wage-earners are
alike interested in the result, for it
may have far-reaching Influence in da
terminlng future business conditions
throughout the nation.
General H. H. Bingham, the "Fa
ther of the House," who was In Wash
ington last week, was among the call
ers upon Chairman Penrose to-day.
General Bingham is recognized as on®
of the leaders in congress, and he la
acknowledged to be held in high es
teem at the White House ana oy all the
members of the cabinet on account of
his years of experience and the excel
lence of his judgment.
INTEREST IN WASHINGTON.
"What about Pennsylvania? was a
query I heard on every hand," said
General Bingham, in recounting hi»
experiences on his trip to Washington.
"I found a remarkable interest in our
campaign. Not that anyone suspected
for a moment that any of the Repub
lican candidates was in danger, but
there was an almost universal desire
to know something about the temper
of the people, to learn of the interest
they ai* taking in the election, and
whether Republicans have awakened
to the important bearing the election
returns next month will have upon
national politics.
"The activity of the Democrats
throughout the country in what would
ordinarily be regarded as elections of
minor importance, and the desperate
battle being fought by Tammany to
get control of the patronage and elec
tion machinery of New York city, are
conditions which are not being over
looked by the national leaders of the
Republican party. Every Democratic
victory next month will give addi
tional encouragement to the Demo
crats, who, hungry for office and
power, are looking ahead In the vala
hope that there will some mishap oc
cur to handicap the Republican organ
ization for the coming national cam
paign.
"Pennsylvania Republicans must be
alcii and active and see to it that
thGre shall be no mishap take place at
the election two weeks hence in the
old Keystone State. There must be
no falling off of the Republican vote,
and no reduction of the Republican
majority to which the Democracy can
point as indicating popular sentiment
in antagonism to the party of protec
tion and prosperity. There should, on
the other hand, be an increase in the
Republican vote and an increase in
the Republican majority, so that on
the day after election every Repub
lican throughout the country can
point with pride to the returns from
the Keystone State and sav our party
Is stronger than ever in the bulwark
of Republicanism. The people are
with us and there will be no deviation
from the policies which have made
this country great, powerful, and
prosperous."
Notwithstanding the Democratic
press would have it appear that the
treasury is "looted," the millions of
dollars in the treasury stand as a
stone wall defense on the side of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania.

A comical vindication of the rights of
property among tli<* savages of New
(Jninou was witnessed by a missionary,
tin- Ucv. James Chalmers. Service was
Just beginning in the little clmreh when
a native boy eaiue la dressed with
what he considered great magnificence,
In a shirt. As the savages were accus
tomed togo nearly naked, this garment
made the boy very conspicuous.
The shirt had once belonged to some
white man, and the Importance it gave
the present wearer was tremendous.
But when ills glory was at its height u
bigger boy appeared, hot with rage and
carrying a Jacket. He fell upon the
first lad and began stripping off the
shirt. The rest of the congregation, un
derstanding at once that the rightful
owner had arrived, gave him not only
sympathy, but practical aid. They rose
to their feet, and those who were near
by took part in the stripping process.
Presently the true owner was invested
in shirt and jacket, the congregation
cooled, and the service went on.
Her I.hml Ilrrtith.
I heard a story the other day which
is probably as old as the hills, though
I never had the luck to hear It before.
It was of a somewhat lengthy railway
Journey In very warm weather. An
elderly lady, seated In one corner of
the carriage, was provided with an In
dia rubber cushion for her greater com
fort, but unfortunately, owing to the
heat and continued pressure, the cush
ion suddenly exploded. The old lady
was In despair, even to tears, over the
misfortune to the wind ban, and again
and again reverted to her misfortune.
"Tut, woman," said a commercial
traveler in another corner of the car
riage, "it's not worth making a fuss
about. You will get it repaired In towu
for atx>ut 18 pence." "It's no' that I'm
vexed aboot—it's no' the price. That's
easy sorted. But the last time that bag
was blawn up it wis by Aunty Jean,
almaist wi' her very last breath, an'
that canna be restored!"— Glasgow
Times.
A ill main uod llaln.
It seems strange that no animal, un
less it Ik? the squirrel, seems to build
Itself a shelter with the express object
©f keeping oft the rain, which they all
so much dislike. Monkeys are miser
able in wet and could easily build shel
ters if they had the sense to do so.
"As the creatures hop disconsolately
along in the rain," writes Mr. Kipling
in his "Beast and Man In India," "or
crouch 011 branches, with dripping
backs set against the tree trunk as
shelter from the driving storm, they
have the air of being very sorry for
themselves." But even the orangou
tang, which builds a small platform in
the trees on which to sleep at night,
never seems to think of a roof, though
the Dyaks say that when it is very
wet it covers Itself with the leaves of
the pandanus, a large fern.
Crsnhtsß.
He was an awful swell, and If there
was one thing more than another that
he prided himself on it was the lit of
his clothes.
"I can never get u dress coat really
to fit," lie said to his partner as he
glanced down at a perfectly made gar
ment, with a hope, of course, that she
would at once disclaim the insinuation.
"Look at this thing."
"Well, it is atrocious," she said cool
ly. "But why not sava your money
and buy one? It is so much ch<*aper in
the long run than hiring."
Hl* Other N'ftme.
The candidate for the place of coach
man liad been weighed and was not
wanting, according to Ills new mis
tress' lights. Then the question of his
name, which was Patrick, came up.
The mistress objected to it in her
heart, so she explained that it was her
custom always to call her coachman
by tils family name. Llad 1m any ob
jections?
"Not the slightest, ma'am."
"What is your last name, Patrick?"
"Fltzpatrick, ma'am."
A Thrmt That Wm Heeded.
In 18tMi the Prussian government de
manded an indemnity of 125,000,000
from the city of Frankfurt. The head
of the house of Uothschlld thepe sent
word to Bismarck that if an nftempt

"It must be understood," said the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Continued from First paK'--
country contending with the fact
that they cannot harvest a money
crop under eighteen months from
the time they enter upon their land
and that in the meantime they
must support their families, cannot
but appreciate that the provision
whereby a settler can, at the end
of fourteen months, borrow cash
upon his land, make a final pay
ment and get a clear title on which
to base a mortgage, is a wise one,
•s wise to-day as when it was
enacted by Congress. The needy
settler who has lived in the com
munity for fourteen months and
demonstrated habits of thrift and
industry, can always secure from
the local bankers the funds with
which to commute his claim and
enoughjto live on temporarily, stock
his farm, buy a few agricultural
implements; etc., aud that class of
men makes a good citizen. 1 ap
preciate that there may be a seri
ous fight in Congress this session,
over this subject, but I have rea
son to believe that a majority will
support my bill.''
