See? EAT The “Origina’-Package” bill is to be- come a law in the form in which it pass. ed the Benate, the conference report to that effect having been adopted in the Housa. In this form it simply gives to States the power to regulate prohibit the gale of intoxicating liquors imported into them from other States, notwithstanding that they are articles of inter-State com- merce. This is a power vhich the Ba preme Court decided that the States do not possess under the Constitution. That being so, it is difficalt to comprehend how it can be given to them by Congress bat as the Supreme Court plainly ins timated that Congress might grant the power to States, it will doubtless sustain a law having that purpose. That will contest sweel ral machinery and to open avenues for the accommodation of the tents of thous sands of people who are expected to visit the encampment. From eight to ten acres of woodland have been cleared of all objectionable material, bot at the dis rect on of Mr. Coleman no trees were res moved unless their sacrifice was unavoid- able, Nearly 80,000 feet of lumber has been ased in the construction of the platforms the flooring of which is planed yellow pine. There are sixteen platforms on the ground, measuring 32 feet in width and 150 feet in length, placed in position at a cost of about $5,000, and these will be hardly sufficient for the proper display of the machinery that will be on exhibi- tion daring the encampment. Over 130 applications for space have already been granted, but in many in- stances exhibitors were required, to take less space than they wanted. Some of them desired an entire platform, but had o be content with a length of sixty feet ia order that all who have made applica- tion might be accommodated. The sixe teen platforms are said to have a capaci ty three times greater than those at Wils liams Grove. Manufacturers of agricultural im- plemeots for twenty States have secured space for the display of their machinery and several others are expected to be re~ presented. Among those which will have exhibits on the ground are all the New Eogland States and all those cons tignous to Pennsylvania. The great agricaltural States of Ohio and Illinois will be among those who will make cred- itable displays, and so will Georgia, Florida and other distant Southern States, lett e Philad. Times: Mr. Blaine'sjreciproci- ty scheme, 80 ably and fearlessly present- ed in hig two leiters to Benator Frye, was ihe first sign of stalesmausbLip that has been exhibited by the party in power in solviog the tariff problem. As presented by Mr, Blaine it was a hol 1, brood, coms prehensive, statesmaniike plan for the enlargement of markets for our farmiog and other indostrial products and for cheapeniog mary of the necessaries of industry apd of life. It wasthe first com- mon sense, practical, business proposi- tion that has been heard from the leads ers of the party that is in control of all departments the government and therefore directly and wholly responsible to the country for legislative results. a of The present delegation ia Congress from the States of Pennsylvania contains twenty-one Republicans and seven Dem- ocrats, When these ‘wenty one Repub- licans shall come stumping among you this fall, and shall tell you that the Mes Kinley Tarifl bill was devised to better your condition, you should reply: “There is not a section or a line in the en- tire bill that will open a market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork.” And if they waot to know your an. thority for that statement you can tell them it is James G. Blaine. the chief apostie of protection and the secretary of state of this administration. . op The happy unity that pervades the Re- publican party on the McKinley bill is illustrated by the fact that six setators on that side—Dawes, Ingalls, Plumb, Paddock, Manderson and Teller—~have voted to reduce the duties in important schedules from the rate reported by the senate finance committee, which was a redaction from the McKinley rate. These six votes arrayed against the bill as a whole~which is not at all likely—whith the Democratic opposition, would kill it. i —— a so MA The protected manufacturers for a century have been promising the fare mersa home market, The census re. turns show that the farm towns in New Eogland are loosing population. Itis a well-known fact that many towns of that section have been abandoned because the land does not afford its possessors a living. Whatever home market the manufacturers have farnished seems to be for men and women whom they have drawn from the fields to mill servitude. “A Great War Libary.

PrinapeLriia, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 11. The Hon, George W. Delamater. Dear Sir: Absence from my office when you called last week prevented my giving you personally the reasons why 1 canaot support and vote for you for Governor of Pennsylvania, and I now do so in writing. You were openly and directly charged in April last, by ex-Senator Emery, s reputable and responsible citizen, with one of the gravest crimes against our free institutions, “purchasing your elecs tion and bribing citizens to vote for you &ec.” and you were challenged by Mr, Emery to bring an action at law against him, so he could set his proof before people, oath-boand. Had you been charged with embezs zling money, robbing a wi low or orphan, you would, as an innocent man, not bave allowed one day to pass ho bringing suit for civil and criminal libel against your accuser; yet here, charged with a crime much more serious and far- reaching in its consequences, you have rested silent for months; whether bes cause you bave no defense, or do not consider the charge of “bribing voters and purchasing your election”. a serious one, 1 know not. Crime against individuals, such as lar- ceny, embezzlement, and forgery, are in-~ significant compared with crimes against the sacred rights of citizenship, the elec tive franchise, which is the bulwark and foundation of our liberties.

H. McCartney, a passenger conductor on the Pitisburg division of the Penn svivania railioad, noticed an old pocket- book lying on the floor. He picked it up, and on opening it found bills and checks aggregating $158000. He made inquiry and soon found the owner, who proved to be a Kansas Cattle raiser re- turning {rom a successfol trip to the east. He offered to reward Mr. McCartney quite handsomely, but that genteman re. fused to accept anything. The road from town 10 the station is in a bad condition, full of loose stones and gutters, making driving anything but a pleasure, The council is very prompt in notifying anyone of repairs to he made to private property, but seem to be afraid to inform the turapike compa-~ ny of their streets, It is a shame and disgrace to an incorporated boro to allow to meet the charges against you fully and completely. Had you right appreciation of the gravity of the accusation against you you would not have let four months elapse without even as much as a murmer, and were you at this late day to bring an ac’ tion against your accuser, it would lack force and weight, as the law's delay could easily be invoked by your counsel to defer trial until after election, and then, as is generally done in such cases, have the suit withdrawn, The nomination of ex. Gov. Robert E. Pattison, fortunately, makes it easy for Republicans » ho own themselves to ex- ercise their better judgment by casting their ballots for him. His personal cars acter is withont blemish; his record, whenever the right of the people were jeopardized by arrogant and powerful corruptions, is enviable; his political ca- reer bas won the admiration of even his political opponents, as expressed in the editorial remarks of the most partisan Republican papers when he relinquished the Gubernatorial office four years ago. I regret that I cannot support the nomination “of the Rebublican conven tion at Harrisburg, for reasons above stated, aside from the important one that the will and the choice of the majority of the Republican party, who desired the nomination of the gallant soldier, Gen.

Up toeday the counters have counted twice in the process, that stands for forty-four millions of inhabitants, The calcula. tion of the Superintendent is that “the count will be so far completed by Sept. 1 that he will be able to make on that day an official statement of the population. This will be a much earlier announce- ment of the population than any former- ly given. For 1870 the statement of the total population was not given out until August of 1871, For 1580 the census en- umeration was completed so thatthe an- nouncement of the total population was made in March, 1851. fo Ap am— The saltionul debt statment for August 1 shows an increase in the debt of the United States during the month of July of $49, 301,865.75.
