Mr, Wanamaker said in one of his speeches only a few days ago, that the record of the party in Pennsylvania made him blush with shame, when he fully comprehended the crimes that had been committed under the name of re. publicanism. When the corruptions of his own party bring the blush of shame upon the cast iron cheeks of Mr, Wana- maker, they must be of a nature and character which makes them nameless, both for audacity and enormity. These millions of truth, and laying the foundation for a revolution that will finally drive them from power, aud place the state govern. ment in the hands of honest men, let the good work go. —————— Modern Pills.

Continued from Ist page firmed by treaty or otherwise, A neu. tral country would get itself entangled in a war between Spain and the United States should it furnish us with troops, arms or warlike, material after war should be declared.

The torpedo boat destrovers are larger than the torpedo boats, aud in their con- struction, as in the smaller boats, every. thing is sacrificed so that their powerful engines will be able to send them through the water at a great rate of speed for a short distance. Their armament is suffi. ciently powerful to disable or destroy the torpedo boats when they come up with them. Torpedo boat destroyers carry no torpedoes. Their efficiency depends en- tirely on their speed and their guns, Battieships are they fighting ships, and are classified according to their armament.

They do not carry as heavy guns | as battleships do and they have speed | enough to overhaul trade ships of the | enemy. Torpedo boats attack big ships usually at night, are being speeded they bury themselves in the water, and almost all that can be seen of them is a streak of foam. They are painted a color that is not distinguish. able on the water, and the most perfect range-finders will not distinguish them sufficiently for the guns of the big ships to be trained on them. They approach a warship head-on, thus presenting as small a mark as possible, and take a tig. wag course. When within striking dis. tance, which is about 600 yards, they launch their torpedoes and get away. In the day time they steam along under protection of a battleship, keeping the battleship between them and the enemy, and when a favorable opportunity arrives dart out and make their attack. They are so lightly constructed that if the boat they attack can hit them, the boats are ruined. At night time the big vessels keep their search lights at work to discover the torpedo boats, and thus When these destructive boats | Ce ol 4 We of State tio the We Mii non WANTED: in ty pir and Virtue. i Hones "There vy and virtue milan vation Oil, vil Known, Palethorp =i... is this truth: be fil eXxX~ ny, sul ANNOUNCEMENT ASBEMBIA : fifo Auihorizeq College, 4 car 1 for Assembly, sub) Democratic County wre authorized b es, of Huston township, tion for Legislature of the Democt we BR.
