When it was urged at the lute Rp
ublican convention that Delamater

And tbey are now raising tbe boodle to

Ex Senator has enjoyed excellent health
abroad.
Ex-Sexatou Van- Wyck has been
nominated for Congress by the inde
pendents of the First Xebaaska dis
trict. He was too ledep-ndent to be
returned to the Senate by the RepublS
cans of Nebraska and now it remains to
be seen whether be hs independent
supporters enough to send him to Con
gress in spite of the Republicans.
The first rough count of the popula
tion of Pennsylvania as a whole has
been completed, and shows a large in
crease over the returns of the tenth
census. It has been made from tbe
daily returns of the enumerators, and
Is not claimed by the Census Office at
Washington to be accurate, but is
merely to bo known as an approximate
estimate. It giyes to the whole State
a population of 5.392,003 Inhabitants,
as against 4.2S2.S01, which was the
State's record ten years ago, an in
crease of over 1,100.000.
Ma.tou McKinley nays his bill "was
framed to please the American farm
era." Never before, says the Chicago
Trifjune, (Rep.) has a man spent so
tauch time trying to please people and
failed so utter'y in it. The farmers of
tbe Northwest already have said they
are not pleast-d. and those in other sec
tions will follow suit. Why should they
be i leased ? The bill does not furnish
them a maiket for an additional bushel
of grain or barrel of pork, and adds to
the cost of everything they use. If
Major McKinley thinks that men are
pleased by increased expenses and les
sened Incomes, why does not be try to
amupe tbe manufacturers in the same
way and see bow tbey like it ?
Tnit Democrats of Pennsylvania,
says tbe Iielfords Jlaja;met must be
Tioud and jubilant over the excellent
nominations made by their convention
for (Jovernor and Lieutenant Governor.
Ex Governor Pattison has the best of
records. Though only 40 years of age
be is Ex-Governor of Pennsylvania
and has probably made the ablest execu
tive otllcer the ,,tuaystone" State ever
had. He is to Pennsylvania what
G rover Cleveland is to the United
States. Chauncey F. Black Is the right
man in the right place when he cannot
be at tbe head of tbe ticket. He is
as good a man as Pattison, but both
could not be nominate! for Governor.
The platform they stand on is sound.
Should any honest Republican and In
dependent fail to vote for these two
men, instead of Matt 2aiy's hirelings,
he will do bis Stats and bis country
serious wrong.
A di?patch from Central America
says : Four more battles have been
fought by Salvadoreans against the
Guatemalan troops within the territory
of the Guatemala. Eighteen hundred
soldieri under the Salvador General
Santiago Contreras, made an attack
on the Guatemalan troops, about 43
to iles from the capital city of Guate
mala, on the night of August 1. Tbe
troops were surprised by Salvadoreans
and retreated with a loss of Dearly 400
men and nine pieces of artillery, includ
ing one heavily mounted IS inch Krupp
gun. One subsequent engagement Vtas
fonght, and the result in the end is two
complete victories for the Salvador
troops, who are now firmly established
on Guatemalan territory within 40
miles of the capitol of Guatemala.
A special dispatch from Guatemala
says the diplomatic corps has offered to
negotiate in the interests cf peace, and
that it is expected a peaceful settlement
will be arranged within a few days.

Joux E. Edwards, of Wllkeabarre,
Pa., traveling agent for an aericultur

cess brings him amorg tbe farmers
from February to Norember, says in an
interview published In the New York
I otur, turn udtci iu 010 riciirubv uo
I be seen the farmers of FennsylYania bo
much woiked op over political matter
aa tbey are this Fall.
"I have traveled among farmers of
tbe State for a good many years, and
talked politics in half tbe counties of
tbe State, bat never before, not even In
Presidential years, have 1 seen as much
interest taken in a campaign as in tbe
Delamater-Pattison fight. Tbe average
Republican majority In Pennsylvania is
pat at 40,000. Really it is much less.
This year tbe Republicans may feel
well satisfied if they elect their man. I
don't base my calculations on the dist
affection of such men aaSenatot Emery,
Wharton Barker, Chris Magee and Con
resaoiaa D izell, nor yet apoa the op-
position to Delamater of the anti Stand
ad Oil prodacera nd tbe miners.
though both will be important factors
of the fight against him, but upon
the quiet charge.? in political feeling
going on among tbe farmers. Tbey
don't like Delamater, and they, more
than any other class of people, an in
dined to tbrow off the Quay yoke.
Other men may shrug their shoulders
and smile over the charges against Mr.
Quay, bat when yoar farmer comes to
believe that Mr. Quay robbed that State
: of $200,000 or $300,000 for private spec
ulation, and was only eaved by his
friends, tbey don't smile, and tbey have
an oldifashioned prejudice against that
sort of 'shrewdness.' The business is
bad, very bad for Eastern farmers not
living close to big cities, where tbey
can tarn tbeir attention to market gar
dening. Eastern agriculturists cannot
compete with the Western men in rais
ing either cattle or grain, and mort
gages are increasing much faster than
bank accounts in two thirds of the
farming counties of tbe State, and ins
stead of brightening, the aspect of
affairs has been growing darker for
several years, and these things are
making the farmers do a lot of think
ing. From my experience, I look for
the biggest falling off from the normal
Republican vote right in the farming
counties, and, more than that, I look
for Pattison 's election."
It is announced says tbe New York
World that Quay's campaign for Dela
mater in Pennsylvania will begin on tne
lo'.h of September, that Speaker Reed
and Mr. McKinley will be among tbe
stumpers and that President Harrison
will "manifest his interest" from Cres
eon Springs.
It is not the language of partisan
exaggeration but sober truth to say that
this is tbe most shameless political cam
paign ever undertaken in any State of
the Union.
The director of tbe campaign is the
Boss who made the ticket and who
shirks from charge which be dare
neither resent nor deny. The witnesses
to the truth of The World's charges of
embezzlement against Mr. Quay are all
eminent Republicans Senator Cam
eron, Wayne Mac Veagh and Christo
pher Magee. No one of them has been
called upon by Mr. Quay to deny tbe
charges, nor has either of them volun
teered a word of exculpation. Quay's
silerrce is confession. Their silence is
corroboration.
Tbe Republican campaign In Penn
sylvania is conducted by and in the in
inf erest of a notorious corruptionist and
a branded embezzler of State funds.
Tbe Republican candidate for Gov
ernor Is openly and defiantly accused
by an ex-Senator of bis own party of
the crimes of bribery, perjury and fori
gery. Though called upon by the
Philadelphia organ of his party for a
denial, and offered space ia the leading
independent journal of that city for
the same purpose, Mr. Delamater baa
never met this moat serious accusation.
Like his master, he brazens it out in
silence, relying upon party feeling and
discipline to "pall him through."
And It Is to this shameful campaign
that the President and Congressional
leaders cf the party are to Rive assist
ance !
The sentence of .the law on William
Keunler, the murderer of Tillle Zeigler,
In Xew York, was carried Into effect at
the prison in Auburn, New York on
Wednesday morning. This was the
first execution under the new law in
that State which provides for the exe
cution of criminals by electricity instead
or hanging and the event has attracted
a great deal of attention. The follow
ing dispatch from Auburn gives a brief
account of the execution.
Auburn, X. Y., Ang. 6. Between 6
and 7 o'clock this morning, in the base
ment of the State Prison In this city,
William Kemmler was killed under the
law by the use of electricity.
On March 29. 1S89, he mtrdered his
mistress, Tillle Zeigler. and his death
to-day was the reparation for his
crime.
He breakfasted lightly between 5 and
0. Religious services were held. He
made his own toilet. He was cheerful,
cool, and without apparent dread. He
entered tbe death chamber about half
past C. Ha assisted In preparing him
self for death. He was placed ia an
ordinary chair by the Warden, who in
troduced him to those present. There
were no prayers !n the death room.
The man was evidently devoid of
nervous tension. His voice, while
peaking, had no tremor. He submit
ted to the straps quietly. He directed
the adjustment of the electrodes. He
made suggestions to tbe Warden, and
finally sat without a tremor to await
the stroke. A convulsion marked the
application of electricity. He was said
to be dead in seventeen seconds and the
current was stopped. Eater respiration
was resumed. The current was again
applied, and in thirteen minutes from
the first stroke he was declared dead.
The flesh of the back was burned ; also
a spot upon tbe top of the head.
The people of San Francisco have
presented to the new cruiser of that
name a S7300 silver service that is said
to be the handsomest thing of tbe kind
owned in America.
A Conspicuous Failure.
The new method of legislating in
Congress by counting the minority as a
part of an alleged majority and stifling
discussion so that bills may be put
upon their passage at the will of the
presiding officer, was recommended and
approved by tbe Republican party in
general, and - the Republican press tn
particular, on tbe around that it would
facilitate the work of Congress and en
able it to adjourn at an early date.
Dictator Reed himself fixed the date of
adjournment as early as tbe Fourth of
July. But here we are a. Augast 5
and only partisan legislation and lobby
jobs have thus far gotten through tbe
House, while thousands of bills still re
main upon the calendar waiting for
consideration.
The Reed plan has proved a conspicu
ous and ignoble failure. It has come
so far short of a justification of tbe ar
gument origin Hy made in its favor as
to cover its author with ridicule and
disgrace. Tbe necessary appropriation
bills most be finished, and tbey could
be speedily passed if the unnecessary
and absurd bat malignant partisan leg
islation contemplated by Reed and bis
servile adherents were abandoned. It
Is this latter legislation that keeps Con
gf5S in session. If it be Insisted upon
no adjournment is possibi before l)e
cember. Tbe people are beginning to
understand why it is that their repre
sentatives at Washington are prolong
ing the congressional session at an im
mense cost to tbe taxpayers. Tbey per
ceive that it is not tbe business of tbe
country that prevents an adjournment,
bat the supposed necessities of tbe
clique of mouopoly serving leaders who
fear that they will be relegated to pri
vate life if the election laws are not
changed tor tbeir especial advantage.
But wbat wL'I it profit those stupid
leader if tbey gain the whole negro
vote of the South and so disgust their
paitv by their deviltry as to lose half
of their former following at tbe North?
It is well for a political leader to have
plenty of back-bone, bat when his
brains get down into bis spinal cord it
would be better for bis party to put him
In a mad house than to keep him in the
cbalr of the Speaker of tbe House of
representatives.
Wei, let the session go on. Let the
stubborn idiot who rules the Republi
can roost at Washington have fall
swing with bis insane obstinacy. If
the Republican party can stand it,
probably the Democrats will not worry
over it. Every day added to tbe length
of the congressional session is worth a
thousand votes to the Democracy of the
Union. Every swish of Dictator Reed's
whip over the back of a recalcitrant
Repuolican representative or Senator
punctuates an argument in favor of the
retirement of the Republican party
from power. Let tbe circus at Wash
ington keep on, with Its ring master,
its acrobats and its clowns. A popular
cyclone will bury them all in a common
ruin when tbe melancholy winds of
November shall hurtle through their
tents. llarrisburg I'atriot.
Cause ler Alarm.
The protectionists are traveling a
rough road these days, and if tbeir
cause were just, one would be forced to
sympathize with them in their trouble.
About the time tbey bad started to give
circulation to the bare faced falsehood
that the McKinley bill would benefit
tbe country in general and the farmers
in particular, James G. Blaine fired a
veritable broadside against tbe measure
and suggested tbe substitution of freer
trade as a soothing syrup for industrial
ills and aches. To make matters worse
for the friends of tariff robbery. Repub
licans in all parts of the countiy have
signified their intention to follow the
Secretary of the present administration,
and, in fact, the Republicans of two
western States in convention assembled,
endorsed the Blaine reciprocity scheme
In tbe heartiest sort of a way. But
this ia not all. Republican Senators
Plumb and Paddock have made it plain
that in tbeir opinion tbt protective poN
icy is a barrier to tbe country progress
and tbey bave threatened to indulge in
some lively kicking during the debate
on tbe McKinley bill which. by tbe way.
has already been disfigured to such an
extent that its father would have diffi
culty in recognizing it were it not for
the fact that its monopolistic birth
mark has as yet been untouched.
Small wonder la it. then, in the face
of all that has transpired during tbe
past few weeks, that those who profit
by tbe unnecessary taxation o! tbe
great mass of tbe people are alarmed.
Tbey know wbat the breaking down of
the tariff wall would mean to them.
Thev know that when tbe consuming
masses of the country are virtually per
mitted to trade where and with whom
they please, tbe money which is now
unjustly wrung fiom them will remain
in their pockets. Knowing this it is
bat natural for those who have been
made millionaires many times over at
tbe expense of others to become fright
ened and to reiterate tbe eld cry that
the American woikingman would suf
fer by the downfall of protection.

Talk is rife of a revolt against Quay

Is notQaay tbe party ia Pennsylvania ?
Let tbe galled jades wince ; the big
Rpuplican majority will atand some
pruning, and if we loose every decent
voter in tbe Keystone State, Delamater
will be Governor just tbe same.
Just wby Mr. Delamater should be
nontnw witn the high office of Govern
or we have no tight to ask. If be Is a
corrupt man it is none of oof !'usiness.
He is Quay's choice, and that Is euul
cient. We must all wear tbe Quay col

be elected should we bolt tbe ticket,
and tbat would be wormwood to our
sensitive souls.
True, Mr. Pattison is a man of sterl
ing worth, weighed in the balance and
found to be all wool and a yard wide ;
bat what is that ? Is be not a Demo
crat, and opposed to the protection poli
cy ? How is Andrew Carnegie to reas
lize a cool million of great big shining
dollars every year without the tariff ?
If some of Andy's workmen do eat thin
Johnny cake, it is not tbe fault of tbe
tariff. Let the workmen who most
raise and educate a family on 1.25 per
diem strike. Tn strike Is his remedy.
Andrew, who is protected by Uncle

Fighting the Tax Raisers.
Two Republican Senators from tbe
West. Plumb and Paddock, have dis
played tbe courage of their convictions
and declared themselves squarely
against tbe tax raising programme f
tbe crazy quilt tariff. Mr. Plumb
scored a strong point by filing a state
ment of a crockery merchant in Kansas,
which showed tbat on an. invoice of
good9 on which be bad just' paid a duty
of 116.40 under the old Tariff law, the
tax nnder the McKinley Administra
tive and Tariff bills would amount to
$57.12. Thai is tax raising with a ven
geance, and tbe mere statement of tbe
case, which was not controverted,
should bave been sufficient to secure an
amendment to tbe bill. The strength
of the pressure of Kansas sentiment
against higher taxes waa particularly
demonstrated by the votes finally cast
by Senator Ingalls In support of his
colleague on tbe question of crockery
duties.
Tbe idea tbat on any merchandise
war taxea are to be multiplied nearly
three-fold more than a quarter of a
century after the war is almost in
credible. Yet sach abominable reeolts
are clearly contemplated by tbe McKin
ley system. This exaggeration of war
taxation is not to apply merely to arti
cles of luxury, but to goods that are
necessities In every household.
It would be far more honest, as well
as less oppressive, to absolutely prohibit
the importation of such articles. The
enormous duties will be in one way or
other to a great extent evaded, and ad
ministrative scandals In our custom
houses will execeed any that bave come
to light in the past.
The Democratic and Conservative
Republicsn opposition to MeKinlevism
continues to bo conducted with excel
lent judgment, as well as with great
courage. The case against tbe tax
raisers is being made clearer every day,
and there are few now to dispute tbe
assertion that, if free election laws con
tinue to prevail, a large majority of tbe
Congressmen chosen in November will
be Democrats. Every day the Repub
lican Congress remains in session adds
to the strength of the opponents of Re
publicanism.". Y. Star.
Secretary Tracy's Blunder.
If Secretary Tracy doesn't desire to
forfeit public trust in the integrity of
his administration of the Navy Depart
ment, he will promptly revoke his or
der of July 23 directing a large increase
of the force at tbe Klitery Navy Yard.
The law very Justly forbids the Sec
retary of the Navv to Increase the force
in any Navy Yard within two months
of an election in the State, without a
special order explaining tbe reasons
therefor. Tbe wisdom of tbe law Is
obvious, and tbe present instance point
edly illustrates its necessity.
The Navy Yard at Kittery, known
aa tbo Poitsmouth Navy Yard, ia in
Speaker's Reed's district, and every
citizen of tbe country will well under
Bland tbat tbe order has been issued
soley so save Speaker Reed from possi

moralized bis party in and ont of Con
gress that he fears to risk a contest for
re-election in a district that has elected
him seven times and at the last contest
gave him 2,433 majority.
This sheer cowardice of Speaker Reed
is natural enough considering the gen
eral demoralization of his party both in

to defy the plain spirit of the law simp
ly to save a party wrecker from wreck

A single bale of cotton auctioned on tbe
Board ot Trade In Chicago last Friday
netted f2.034 95. The bleb price realized
wss due to the fact tbat tbe proceeds were to
go to an orphan asylum. Each saeceaeful
bidder, after capturing tbe bale, returned It
to tbe auctioneer fur another sale, tbe pro
cess being continued until tbe sum named
waa realized.
It is admitted at last that all the corn of
Central Kansas Is ruined. No matter bow
much rain falls, hot winds bave blown for
three days and stalks are shriveled. Only
local rains bave fallen for over a month and
tbe prairies are so dry tbat fires break out
daily. Tbe nay crop Is an entire failure, as
well as tbe fruit crop. A large acreage or
wbeat will be planted If it rains enough to
plow. Stock is being rasbed to market in
fear of lack of food. The drought is consid
ered the most severe in twelve years, and
there is no sign of Its being broken.
Two weeks ago laet Monday night Joel
Williams, seventeen years of age. and Cora
Toung sat side by side at services in An
tlocb Church, at Atlanta. Ua. Tbe girl be
gas brodding tbe boy with a pin, which be
finally took from ber and threw upon tbe
floor. Tben she took from ber bat a bat pin
five incbes long, and with all ber force drove
It into Williams' right side. Just above tbe
hip. Tbe pin sank Into tbe flesh until only
tbe bead could be seen. Tbe boy sprang
from bis seat with a yelL Tbe pin bad pene
trated tbe body Its fall length, but with Its
removal tbe pain ceased and ootb Williams
and tbe girl remained at tne church until
tbe congregation was dismissed. Tbe boy
went borne, sickened, and lingered until
last Friday nlgbt when death came. Tbe
pin bad penetrated bis kidneys.
Among tbe narrow escapes of harvest
er from serious accident, says tbe West
Chester Xetot, was tbat or John Wiley, of
East Nottingham, a few days ago. Mr.
Wiley wss cutting oats with bis reaper
when bis wirey males scared and started to
run. In passing close to a fence Mr. Wiley
leaned over on tbe seat to avoid striking a
post, wben tbe reaper rake r truck him on
tbe bead and knocked blm off upon tbe
table of tbe machine. Hera be was In a
perilous position, as bis hands were so close
to tbe knives tnst tbe lines beld In one of
tbem were cut off close to tbe band. Tbe
mules were finally stopped by tne lines
winding around tbe rake, wben Mr. W. got
off tbe machine and went to tbe bouse. lie
was acratcbed and bruised badly but was
able to be about again tn two or three aays.
Dragged through the streets ot Racine,
Wis., by a rope around bis neck, which
threatened to cut off his exlstance, in tbe
bands of a frenzied mob, Auam Young, sf
Emmetsburg. Ind., a professional tiamp,
bad a narrow escape from lynching. Tbe
cause of Young's rough treatment was a
brutal assault made apon Rev. Father Fees
ler. of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, at the
home of tbe clergyman about noon. Young
went to tbe doer of tbe priest's bouse and
demanded something to eat. Before Fatber
Fessler could dodge, the tramp hit blm on
tbe neck. The prleet ran out the back door
with Young In bot pursuit. Tbe clergyman
waa overtaken by bis assailant, knocked
down, pounded In the face and bis nose
smashed. By this time a crowd bad congre
gated. Some one shouted "Hang tbe
brute." A rope was placed around the
neck of the tramp, and but for tbe timely
arrival of policemen, he would bave been
dangling in tbe air from a large tree Dear
by. Young was placed iu jail.
