FRED KURTZ, Eprror and Pror's.
The Independent Ropublicans are
preparing to organize against Quay. No
honest Republican or anti-monopolist
can support Quay. How can Centre
county Republicans in their county con-
vention denounce discrimination and
then in the same platform endorse
Quay?

Germany don't want Cuba. The
North German Gazette describes as a fa-
ble the recent statement made that Ger-
many was coveting Cuba, but admits that
in the event of war between Germany
and Spain Cuba could be an important
object of attack. It ridicules the idea of
a permanent annexation by Germany.

Mr. Conrad B. Day, Democratic candi-
date for State Treasurer, accompanied by
State Chairman Hensel, is making a tour
of the state just now in order that he
may cultivate the acquaintance of the
Democratic people of the state who ex-
pect to vote for him an opportunity to
see what manner of man he is. He no
doubt will visit out county too, which
will give him a big majority because our
people favor an honest man for state
treasurer,

Democrats should remember that un-
less they pay their taxes on or before
Octaber 3 they cannot vote in Novem-
ber. Young men who voted on age last
year must pay a State and County tax
this year on or before the date specified
above, or they too will be debarred from
voting. There should be no chances
taken. The loss of one or two votes in
each voting precinct or township, by in-
attention to this plain provision of the
law, may costthe loss of the State.

The Pittsburg Post finds a graveincon-
sistency in the Centre county Republi.
cans. In referring to their County con-
vention it says: The Republicans of
Centre county adopted anti-discrimina-
tion and anti-railroad deal resolutions in
their County convention, by a vote of 60
to 2; but at the same time they endorsed
Quay, who lobbied to defeat the anti-
discrimination bill in the last Legislature
and the anti-discrimination resolution in
the last Republican State Convention.

The Democrats of New York in their
convention last week, nominated Gov.
Hill for governor on the first ballot. Gov.
Hill succeeded to the chair on the elec-
tion of Cleveland and has made a good
governor. For Lieutenant Governor the
Democrats nominated Roswell P. Flow-
er. who has since declined.
The Republicans, of the same state, in
their convention nominated Ira Daven-
port for governor, who is represented as
being one of their strongest men.
The School Department of the State
has decided that the law making physi-
ology and hygiene a part of the instruc-
tion to be imparted in the public schools
is compulsory, and hence that pupils are
obliged to learn what the teachers are
obliged to teach. It says that a pupil
who under the instruction of his parents
or guardian refuses to accept the sort of
physiology and hygiene dealt out to
him must be suspended, and that the
School Directors have no authority to
excuse a pupil so instructed. Nine out
of ten of the teachers who are to teach
physiology and hygiene themselves know
nothing about the science of physics and
the laws of health. Yet a parent who
pays his school tax and wants his chil
dren taught the rudimentary branchesof
education intended to be imparted at
the public schools must have them
crammed with physiology and hygiene,
which the children cannot be made to
understand, or go without necessary in~
struction. If the department is right in
its construction of the law it cannot be
too soon repealed.

THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO.
Edgar M. Johnson, who is Judge
Hoadly’s law partner, was chatting with
a group of politicians, and said: “We're
giting some sense out our Way nowa-
days, and putting the right foot forward
every time we make a step. I don't think
there is the slightest doubt about a
Democratic vietory in Ohio this fall,
The Democratic campaign is an aggres-
sive one and the Republicans have bad
to take up the bloody-shirt issue as their
only defense, My own opinion is that
it has done them more harm than good,
and that Senator Sherman's speeches
are about the best campaign documents
for the Democracy, The Judge has been
making some telling speeches lately and
they have bad great
the Judge Isn't sick this year, as he was
during his first campaign. ‘We are going
toroll up & big majority in Hamilton
county. The Republicans have about

gibly select in the field, while the Dem-
ocrats bave now an un
_ strong and popular
one.”
MUTTERINGS OF WAR.
Severe fighting has occurred between
Turks and Albanians at Dijakovo. Both
The news from the east is more war
like. The Servian army is being mobil-
ized and troops are being sent to protect
the southern frontier bordering on Ma-
cedonia and Albania. Fears are enter
tained of a rising in both the latter pla-
ces and grave troubles are anticipated in
the event of such an occurrence. It is
stated that King Milan, in an interview
with a number of diplomats, declared
that if the Macedonians rose in a revolt
against Turkish rule he would act with
them, as otherwise he, would be deposed.
This news comes from Belgrade. By
way of Paris comes a rumor that owing
to the excited state of affairs in the Bal-
kan States the Austrian army is also be-
ing mobilized. From Sophia comes the
information that a levy of all the able-
bodied men in Bulgaria, between the
ages of 18 and 40 years, has been order-
ed. A dispatch from Philiopolis says
that General Dragalska, commander of
the Ronmelian militia, has been arrest-
ed. There is public rejoicing in Odessa
over the uprising of Roumelia. The
combined forces of Roumelia and Bulga-
ria amount to fifty thousand men. The
Turkish forces have not yet crossed the
frontier, but the authorities are greatly
excited and active preparations are be-
ing made. Panaret Rascheff, the Metro-
politan of Bucharest, has sent a dispatch
to the Daily News in behalf of the Bul-
garians thanking that paper for its hu-
mane support of the lesser nations and
saying that reliance upon English sym-
pathy assures the Bulgarians of freedom.

The Ohio campaign is proving quite
lively, with indications for the election
of Hoadly, the Democratic candidate for
governor, and we expect to announce a
Democratic victory in the Buckeye state
to the readers of the Reporter in a few
weeks,
Both parties are at work and the two
candidates for governor, Hoadly and
Foraker, are on the stump. There are
other able speakers enlisted on both
gides. John Sherman—Eliza Pinkes-
ton’s sweetheart—seems to be the main
gun on the Republican stamp, and is
waving the bloody shirt as lustily as tho'
he had spilled some of his blood when
the time was, over 24 years ago, to spill
blood. The bloody shirt has been wash-
ed since then, and we do know thateven
if it were to be stained again, Mr. Sher-
man would take as precious good care to
have none of the poke-berry juice that
courses through his veins to stain it
again, as he did when the war wasin ac-
tual progress,
John Sherman is both a coward and a
knave. A coward because hie cries war
and kept at a distance when there was
war. A knave, because he was the ring-
leader of the presidential steal, and
used perjured material like Eliza Pinkes-
ton, Cassanace, Wells, and such, to
help him in that great crime against the
American people.

The campaign in this state is not very
lively—not even in the large towns.
Still, we believe the people are thinking,
and that is just as well, if their thoughts
are backed up by their votes in Novem-
ber.
The Rerorrer feels confident that the
thoughts of the people are all right and
that they do not mean that the prince of
the Pensylvania gang of bosses, Mr.
Quay, should be endorsed in his history
of bribery, pardon-board iniquity and
corrupt machine politics in general. Mr.
Quay is the champion of the monopolies
of the state—the oppressors of the labor-
ing masses,
Mr. Day, the Democratic nominee for
State Treasurer, is a gentleman of the
strictest integrity, and belongs to the
business class of Philadelphia. The peo
ple will be true to themselves by elect
ing him over boss Quay.
The colored men of Virginia will sup-
port Lee, democrat, for governor, and a
convention of colored men is called to
meet in Lynchburg on Sept. 30. The
convention will, it is understood, come
out squarely for the Democratic ticket,
will declure that the negroes have been
following the Republican party long
enough, and that it is now time to ally
themselves with the white men of Vir
ginia, whose interests are the colored
man’s interest as well. They will lay
special stress on the colored man’s liv-
ing in harmony with the whites, and

boldly for the ticket. The

WHY QUAY 18 REPUDIATED.
The Pittsburg Post gays: Weare noi
at all surprised that so distinguished a
Republican as the venerable
Pearson, of Dauphin county, has de-
clared his purpose to reject Quay’s can-
didacy for State Treasurer. The Judge
presided at the trial of Kemble and his
associates, and passed sentence on them.
In the pardon that Quay doctored, with
a stamp speech in its belly, it was de-
clared that the Judge had eentenced
Kemble at “hard labor,” and this was
assigned as the cause for the pardon.
When the pardon was presented to Judge
Pearson, prior to the release of Kemble,

put in Judge Pearson's mouth that hej

tention. In an interview at the time, |
telegraphed from Harrisburg to the Pitts-|
burg papers, Judge Pearson declared :|

effect. In view of the action of the Board, |

was made the pretext of the pardon. i

guilty, on the solicitation of counsel, |
Judge Pearson suspended sentence, on |
the plea the criminal had important
business affairs to attend to. Kemble at

the State Treasury. He has on deposit]
in his Philadelphia bank hundreds of
thousands of Hiate funds. From what
we know of their relstions in the past,
Quay if elected will undoubtedly extend
Kemble's facilities for banking on the
State's money. The old partnership still
exists. To all of which the six Pitts

there is no defense, and well they know
