From all sides there is a strong senti- ment for a clear and distinct declaration for bimetallism, the use of both gold and silver for primary money, as outlined by the Chicago Platforms. That, and nothing else, will be satisfactory to the democracy of this county. In this re- spect there should be po straddle or compromise. “Organize the trades unions," “with a library, bow to only way Don't unreliable; self.” them the come. help themselves all —— lan - Tug republicans must depend on a constant famine abroad, and an immense wheat crop al home, to keep up the pres. ent difference in the prices of wheat and silver, Should normal conditions, the usual good crop abroad, exist next year there will be a different song from the gold camp.

Farnsworth, the corporation clerk of the state depart. ment, who has entire charge of the charter business of the department. It is through this department that all eor- porations receive thelr charters and are authorized to Increase thelr capital stock, and to extend their corporate privileges, #0 that the business of the department Increases or decreases as the state at large Is prosperous or de- pressed. During March, April, May, June and July of 1886 the manufactur. ing and miscellaneous charters repre- sented a capital of $17,812,000, the bulld- tng and loan associations $16,650,000 and rallroads and street railways $1,418,000, Corporations Increased thelr capital stock and indebtedness for the pur. pose of extensions and improvements to the amount of $36,701,000, making an aggregate amount of capital represent- ed by the transactions for the period of $82,720,000. For the corresponding pe. riod of 1897 the manufacturing and miscellaneous corporations chartered represented a capital of $20,806,000, bullding aud loan associations $19,390, 000, rallroads and street rallways $3, 767.000 and increases of capital stock and Indebtedness 3119.472,000, making an aggregate amount of capital repre. sented by the business for the first five months of the present national admin. istration uf £163,424,000, showing an in. crease in favor of the same period this year as compared with 1506 of $00,793, 000, or more than 125 per cent. Much Interest is manifested by the state political leaders, who meet In Harrisburg frequently for conference, in the Democratic and Republican state conventions, which are to bu held in Reading and Harrisburg respective. ly. It is expected that these conven- tons will in some measure indicate the the t must be | | the 11 | efficient | the given | line of battle for next year. A few weeks ago it was believed that Beacom | and MoeCauley, for state treasurer and | auditor general, respectively, would have no serious opposition in the Ree publican state convention. But the re- cent declaration of the Dusiness Men's League in Philadelphia In favor of Moe- Cauley, and inferentially against Beas com, makes it almost certain that there will be a large«lement of the Re. publican party against Beacom's nome ination tate Chairman Elkin and other party leaders, however, believe that the convention will nominate bot Beacom and MoeCauley without serious friction.

The story that ex-Governor Pattison would again lead the Demo- cratic hostd as their candidate for gove ernor has been spolled by the ex-gov- ernaor himself announcing that he had never heard of such a proposition. Deotsion Regarding Browers' Licenses Deputy Attorney General Elkin has given an important opinion on the new law relating to the granting of licenses to brewers by the state treasurer for $1.00 He says no license can be ise sued by the state treasurer for less $1,000, but where the production of a brewery during the year preceding require a larger amount to be tion were made treasurer Is requd from ver in ous than wount Mine Chief Not inte affairs apg This was the i by the las ted ut of chaos In mine inspectors nte have not by the governor His has ! bestowed upon Mrs. Martha DD.

Col- onel Lambert was asked what he thought of the proposition of these western commissioners to examine the sastern insurance companies. He sald that the suggestion comes from some of the Populist states where they have diseased views of every sort of cor poration and of the employment of cap- ital In any legitimate enterprise. The examinations, he added, would be a mere farce in most Instances, since they could not have any thoroughness, and the result would add nothing to the character of A company, no matter how good its standing. He says there i# no need of examination of eastern companies by other than thelr own de- partment. James Campbell, the state factory In- spector, says the new law to regulate the manufacture of flour and meal food products, better known as the bake shop law, which went into effect July 1, i= being satisfactorily enforced. The equestrian monument of the late Major General John F. Hartranft will be erected on the west front of the new capitol, facing the river.
