There is no law under the sun, says
the Harmburg Patriot, which makes the
adoption of a unit rule by a state con
vention. They are not even in honor
bound to vote as the state convention
dictates instead of as their constituents
direct. The unit rule is not binding
unless Democracy in this State has suc
ceeded by a most oppressive form of au

The Prohibition national convention,

four or five states were represented.
This year word has been received from
every state in the Union, and in nearly

The Venezuelan commission decided
on Friday last to send representatives to
the Hague to examine the original
Dutch manuscripts in the royal archives
bearing upon the boundary question.
This will naturally be a work of months,
at least; and the understanding preval
ent in Washington that the commission
will not report until December is, there
fore, undoubtedly correct. The country
is to be congratulated on this fact. It
means the elimination from the presi.
dential campaign of the whole wretched
Jingo business, and to that extent as
sures a square battle on the currency
question.
The decision of the Attorney General
that assessors must be paid by the coun
ty commisiieners for enumerating child
ren of school age in the different school
districts of the state, says the Philadel
phia Times, is a construction of the
compulsory education law that makes
effective every provision in its several
sections and disposes of the final otvec-
tion to its proper enforcement. The
loard of county commissioners that now
resist the carrying out of an imperative
duty does so at a very great risk, as the
attorney general purposes to have the
new school law carried out in all its
terms, regarding the matter as manda
tory. "
The steel billets and 9teel rails, says
the Engineering ami Mining Journal, are
in "combines," which holds the jprioe
of rail $7 to $S a ton higher to our
loads and consumers than to foreign
purchasers. Billets from which wire
and manv other forms of merchant steel
are rolled and drawn have been ad
vanced several dollars a ton. The shov
el manufacturers have combined to lim
it output and have advanced prices 20
per cent. With combines in explosives,
in tools, in rails, in many other import
ant articles used by miners and railroads,
the cost of mining and delivering in
market is largely increased, to the detri
ment of the consumer and producer and
to the exclusive benefit of the combine.
Instead of talking of increasing the tar
iff on such ai tides all import duty
should at once be removed from every
article made by "combines."

The committee on resolutions report
ed the platform which after declaring
its adherence to the fundamental prin
ciples of Democracy adds.-
"We are in favor of a firm, unvarying
maintenance of the gold standard
While we favor the nioet liberal use ol
silver consistent with the enforcement
of a gold standard, we are alisolutely op
posed to the free coinage of silver aud to
the compulsory purchase of silver bul
lion by the government.
We lielieve that the interests of the
people demand that the earnings of ,
trade, agriculture, manufactures and
commerce, and especially the wages of
labor, should 1 paid in money of the
greatest intrinsic value, and of the high
est standard adopted by the civilized na
tions of the world. We are, therefore,
unalterably opposed to all devices and
schemes for the debasement of our cur
rency and to all evasions and compro
mises of a question so closely affecting
individual and national credit and hon
or.
We heartily indorse the administra
tion of President Cleveland, and con
gratulate the country upon the firmness,
wisdom and ability shown by him in all
matters afftcting the interests of the
country. We especially commend his
wise, determined and successful efforts to
maintain the national credit, to avert
financial and bi S ness disturbances, and
to protect the country's honor.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania pre
sents to the national convention as its
unanimous choice for the presidency,
the name of Robert E. Pattison, know
ing him to be honest, able, unassuming,
fearless, a consistent Democrat, and in
harmony with the highest purposes of
his party.
We present him for the nomination
to the Democracy of the nation, conti
dent that this declaration of piinciples
and of our choice for the presidency ex
press the sentiments of the united De
mocracy of the state, and to the end
that the vote and influence of Pennsyl
vania may le most effectively heard aud
felt, the delegates this day chosen are
directed to vote as a unit in all matters
entrusted to their charge, said actioa to
be determined by the vote of the ma
jority of the delegates.
The Pennsylvania Republican con
vention on Thursday, says the New York
JlWW,in elaborate resolutions presented
as their candidate for the presidency the
notorious embezzler aDd corruptionist,
Matthew S. Quay, a man who had not
character enough to think of defending
it in a court of law when challenged to
do so.
This man a mere party boss and wire
puller at his liest, has been openly ac
cused by prominent men of his own par
ty of embezzling large sums of money
from the state treasury. The accusa
tions have been printed and reprinted
with the proofs in entirely responsible
journals and circulated throughout
Pennsylvania. He further affronted
public decency by securing the nardon
of his lobby partner when the latter was
convicted of bribery. He has never
made a speech or originated a policy or
offered an idea of value to the country.
Yet the party of great moral ideas in
Pennsylvania has asked that Matt Quay
be made president of the United States
characterizing him as "one of their fore
most leaders, wise in council and brill
iant and able in action, at once the type
of the American citizen, scholar, soldier
and statesman." The Quaystone Re
publicans have touched bottom. There
is no lower depth.
There are unmistakable evidences on
every hand that the fallacies and hum
bugs of protection are losing their hold
on the agricultural mind. Petitions
from county and state grangers are still
pouring into congress in favor of an ex
port bounty on farm products. This
widespread movement, which the tariff
mongers in congress affect to iVhofp
indicates that the great associations of
farmers throughout the country have re
solved to break forever with protection.
Mr. David Lubin, of California, the in
defatigable propagandist of the move
ment, has shown them that the chief
buiden of a protective tariff falls with
crushing weight on agriculture. His
propositions are that the entire Drodnrt
of farm staples in the United States is
sold at the prices of the surplus exported
to foreign markets, and that the Ameri
can farmers must pay the protective
taxes on the commodities thev consume
An offer of Mr. Lubin of a contribution
of $1,000 to the American protective
tariff league to disprove these proposi
uons still remain unaccepted. The
champion of the Grangers has flung
uown bis challenge, and the tariff mon
gers have ignominiously lied from the
neia.
If there was anything that Mr. Har
rity wanted and did not get at the Allen
town convention it was becanse he for
got to ask for it and not that he could
not have had it for the asking. Everv
thing was under his thumb and when
not going his way the gag rule was an
plied. All efforts to get an expression
on the unit rule were suppressed and the
delegation will go to Chicago to be ma
nipulated for the best interests of the
gang that have brought Democracy in
Pennsylvania down so low that it will be
difficult after the election to find enougl
ieii oi me party in Pennsylvania
make an assignment.

last night. The man disappeared from
his home on the Reser farm on March
