The result of the Union Pacifio election to-day is that Jay Gould and his party are retained in the directory. This is a Tictory also for the Missouri Pacific, which the opposition peo ple looked upon as a competing system. The following are the directors elected in the order of the size of their vote: Edwin F. Arklns, Boston; Samuel Carr, Boston; Henry II. Cook, New Tork; F. Gor don Dexter, Boston; Sidney Dillon, New York; G. M. Dodge, Council Bluffs: Marvin Hushitt, Chicago; Henry B. Hyde. New Tork; Joseph A. Ilillard, Omaha; Alexander E. Orr, New Tork; James Sharp, Salt Lake Cltj-; Gardiner M. Lano. Boston: Jay Gonld, New Tork; Eussell Sase, New York. The board ticket was on blue paper, the Boissevain, or foreign ticket, on white paper. In the list of directors represented on the foreign ticket, the names of Gonld, Sase and Clark do not appear, Sims Boisse vain having been committed to the share holders, whose proxies he held, to vote for a Board of Directors who would represent the Union Pacific shareholders and wonld have no interest in the Missouri Pacific. S. H. II. Clark, of Omaha, General Manager of the Union Pacific Railroad, was on the directors' ticket, but was dofoated by Gar diner M. Lane from the opposition ticket. He will probably be placed on the board by. the other directors and mav possibly be elected President. The two other directors besides Mr. Lane on the opposition ticket were Charles C. Jackson, of Boston, and Marcus A. Ilanna, of Cleveland. The foreign tlcicot appears to nave Deen defeated Dv 10,000 votes, as this Is the amount Russell Sa?e received over Charles c. Jackson. The election was decided in favor of Mr. Gould bv the proxv or Messrs. Birthwlcfc. "Wark & Co., of London, for abont 26,000 Fhares. This house had given its proxy at first to Mr. Bmssevaln, bnt later gave a Sroxv to Messrs. L & S. Wormser,- their e w York correspondents, which. It is said, thoy requested shonld not be used in favor of Mr. Gould. Messrs. Wormser, however, turned the votes over to Mr. Gould, thus turning the election and retaining Missouri Pacific officials in the management of the Union Pacific. It was voted to approve the Investments made during the vearbvthe directors and the acts of the directors; also the Drexel Morgan indenture of last year, under which the three-vear 6 per cent notes were placed, and the Kansas Pacific trust indentures, $5,000,000 bonds of which went in under the same. The directors subsequently met at the Equitable building for organization. Samuel Carr resigned as a director, and S. II. H. Clark, of Omana, was chosen to All the vacancy. Pidncy Dillon declined re-elec tion to the Presidency, and Mr. Clark was elected In his place, Mr. Dillon being elected Chairman or the board, a position created for him. Edwin F. AtKins was made Vice President to succeed Mr. Clark, and the latter was made a member of the Executive Committee in place of Russell Sage. Con troller Oliver XT. Mink, Treasurer James G. Harris and all the other officers were reelected. The annual report of the Union Paolflo Railway Company shows for the year 1891 gross earnings 819,637,723, as against $20.38,203 in 1S90. The surplus earnings were 17,848,451, against $7,274,759 the previous year. Proceeds from other sources make the total income $10,42,531. Deducting total charges, a bal ance of $1,910,590 Is shown, which Is an In crease of 423,693 over last year. It transpires that the World's Fair man agementliad quite as much to do in bring ing about tho present movement in Chicago against the ticket scalpers as did the rail roads. The officials of the Exposition were given to understand that tho existence of scalpers in Chicago was so demoralizing that the roads would not dare to make as low rates for the Fair as they otherwise might.

The Commercial Bank closed its doors at noon to-day, and a card was placed on the window announcing that the business is temporarily suspended, but that all depositors will be pakl in fnlL Tins action was taken after a heavy run continuing dining the entire forenoon. Mr Middleton, one of the directors, was seen and asked for a statement. "All that can be said at present," he replied, "is that the depositors will be paid in full and the stockholders will have to stand the loss. The trouble was caused by the dre resulting from the failure of the St. Paul German Insurance Companv. The bank Itself Is all right and is backed by good, responsible men. It is doubtful if the bank will lesume business again." As soon as tho failure of the insurance company became generally known, the country banks began to withdraw their funds from the Commercial Bank. This started ugly rumors legardlng the solvency or the latter institution, for which there was really no foundation, but which spread with a rapidity such as no rumor of less injurious character could be circulated. The di rectors to-night stated that the assets of the bank was $1 559,815 25 and the liabilities S976.S32 04. THE PENHSY'S BUSINESS. The Cornerstone of Which Is Laid by Car dinal Gibbons. "Washington, April 27. SpeeidW Ap propriate exercises incident to the laying of the cornerstone of the HcMahon Hall ot Philosophy took place this afternoon on the grounds of the Catholic "University. Cardinal Gibbons and Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte delivered ap propriate addresses. The Cardinal said that the faculty of Philosophy, to accommodate which the new structure was begun, had for its object the profound study of all that concerns man and his multiform relations with all below him, around him, and about him, as seen in the light of natural reason. The bishops of the United States were proud to establish an institution like this in our national capital, under the eyes of our whole country and in most cordial relations with all her national institutions of learning and social improve ment. The Cardinal then blessed the stone and the ceremonies ended. The building is 250 feet long, 100 feet in the center, the wings being 70 feet deep. It will be surmounted by a statue of Christ, "The Light of the "World." It will not be opened until the fall of 1894.

He has been faith ful to the doctrines of the Republican party, and has contributed as much as anyone could to the protection of American in dustries and to the preservation of a sound and stable currency of many kinds, but all oi equail value." Banqueting In a Vast Conservatory. The decorations ot the great dining room were more elaborate this year than ever before. The florists were given carte blanche, and they used the privilege to the greatest advantage ot the Americus Club. The 30 tables were '.each laden with the choicest blossoms, arranged with the taste characteristic of suoh embellishments when done by a master hand. The flowers consisted oi roses, daffodils, violets, primroses,pansies and all varieties of spring blossoms. The center-pieces were all different On some tables they were altogether of maidenhair fern.brightened up by a tall vase containing American beauty roses on either side. On others mixed spring flowers were the center pieces, with end pieces of roses. Each window sill was banked with maidenhair terns and small palms, while in the ordinaire, w here the musicians sat, were tall palms and ferns artistically ar ranged to screen the orchestra. General Grant's picture, at the back of the chair of the toastmaster, was entwined as to its frame in red, white and blue Yeddo cloth, with passion vine clinging in tendrils around it The buffet was a mass of palms and azaleas. The top of each window was gracefully draped with lambrequins of red, white and blue, while here and there along the frieze, between the windows, were umbrel las, the emblems of the club. A pleasant surprise was a small silk red, white and blue umbrella on each table, in the middle of the center-piece of flowers. It looked like a fantastically trimmed wax taper, until at a signal the waiters removed a small cap and touched a spring, when each one of the 30 umbrellas spread over the tables, amid the applause of the banqueters. The staircases ana halls were filled with palms and greenery of all kinds, and the whole second floor of the hotel was like one vast conservatory. Dining at Small Tables. The tables were arranged across the room instead of lengthwise, the old way. There were about 400 neoolo present, and when thoy got into the dining room it was densely packed, too much so for comfort The serv ants had difficulty in moving around, and there was constant confusion in the neigh- oornooa ot the doors. The invited guests sat at a table about the center of the hall. President W. a ' Brown officiated, and the speakers were grouped on his right and left. The Committee of Arrangements also occupied seats at the table of honor. President Brown in a few words welcomed the visitors and the members of the club, and then he introduced Toastmaster Orlady, who created laugh by saying, "Let us get down to business." Among the guests was Col. "W. H. Rcid, who broke his leg a few months ago. It was the first time he was out since the accident, and he was warmly greeted by his fellow members. Here is the menu, and it is a part of the programme that speaks for itself: Bine points, on half shells. tjreen lame, clear. Olives. Silted almonds. Pickles. bllcetf tomatoes. Brook trout, a la Maltrc d'llotel. Pomrae Parisienne. Roan breast of spring chicken. Asparagns. bneetbreads. French peas. Champagne punch. Diamond back terrapin. Maryland stjle. Lobster salad. Neapolitan ice cream. Assorted cakes. Strawberries. Select frnlts. Roquefort Cheese. Toasted Crackers. Coffee. Cigars. The menu cards were the finest the club has had up to date. Each one cost about $1.60. It was beautifully illustrated. On the front page was a picture of Grant on horseback, then came a battle scene and a photograph of the house at Appomattox where Lee surrendered. On the upper right hand corner of the last page was a picture of Grant's borne, and at the bottom was the tomb beneath which were the words "Let us have peace." Each plate was pro vided with a small red, white and blue um brella. The menu and parachute are much prized as mementoes. American people will not try the doubtful experiment of once more turning this Gov ernment over to Its, enemies. AS PICTURED BY STONE. Canada fall wheat is in promising condi tion.

Judge Thurston, of Nebraska, Predicts Suc cess Next Fall He Is Inclined to Juggle With the Silver Question The Tariff the Leading Issue. To John M.Thurston, of Omaha, thegeneral counsel for the Union Pacific road,had been assigned the subject, "The Republican party." He said: Every constitutional amendment which extends the blessing of human liberty, and protects the fullest enjoyment of American citizenship, has been written by the pen of Republican statesmansDlpand ratified by the vote of Republican intelligence. Every ex isting statute of the United States is the result of Republican thought Republican courage and Renubllcan action. I am hero to-night to recall more especially the gi cat services of the Republican party to the cause of human labor. I assert that Re publican statesmanship has done more, within a single quarter of a century, to make labor profitable nnd honorable than had theretorore been done by any or all gov ernmental agencies in any four ccntuiies of civilized existence. Tho Democratic party still insists that it is the right of the Ameri can people to buy what they want where they can buy it the cheapest. I deny that It Is not the right or any man worthy of American citizenship to buy the produot or human labor without paying a fair price for the brain nnd brawn that enters into Its manufacture. I come from the wild and woolly West that West which has alwavs stood true to the Republican party. I bring with mo to night a campaign cap of 1892, manufactured by the Black nills miner from American tin. And I am here to say to you of the Eastern and Middle States that this great loyal West will meet you in November on the platform of McElnley protection and Blaine reciprocity. Our Democratic Congress has made an issue upon the protection or American wool. On that issue the Republican party is ready to appeal to the American intelligence. We stand in favor of such legislation as will protect, not only the wool on the back of an American sheep, but also the wool on the head of an Ameiican citizen The Republican party stands for honest money. It does not propose that a flag shall be displayed at the door or the National Treasury, upon which the cheap Johns of the country nave written "80 off for cash." But while the Republican party stands for honest money, and must necessarily be op posed to such a measure as the Bland bill, which permits the unlimited coinage of 70 cent dollais, yet the best thought of this country ought to be directed to the deter mination as to how far, or In what manner, American silver can be placed in circulation. Republicans have a right to differ among themselves, and all party declarations are theiesult of honest discussion and conten tion. For myself, I am in favor of such legis lation as will permit tho American miner to take $1 worth ot silver, dug from an Ameii can mine, lenresenting American enterprise, intelligence, perseverance, hardship and labor, to the mint or the United States, and have the Goddess or Liberty stamped upon one side and the American eagle upon the other; and I am further In favor of such ad ditional legislation as will make It impos sible ror any man, by contract or otherwise, to exclude the Goddess of Liberty from the best American society, or to pnt the bar sin ister across the American eagle. What the American people need is cheap interest, and any legislation which tends to cheapen the interest rate by an increased supply of honest money. The Democratic party will not win. Whether its candidate be the man who stole the Legislature of New York, or the man who stole the Presidency of the United States, the deliberate Judgment of the The Allegheny Congressman Describes the Life of the New Member or the House He Tells It In a Very Amusing and .En tertaining Manner. Congressman 'William A. Stone, of the Twenty-third district, discussed the "New Congressman, His Hopes, His Expectations and His Disappointments." He said: The new Congressman is an object of special Interest to himself and to all his re lations. The dreams that have oome to htm amid the heat and the hustle of the canvass assume waking thoughts, and he longs to take his place among the statesmen of the country. When he shall rise In his plaoe and utter those words that have trembled upon the lips of many famous men, "Mr. Speaker," when the House will crow silent and the members will listen to what the new Con gressman has to say, when he can hear it whispered in the galleries, "That is the new Congressman from Nebraska," while he pours forth burning words of eloquence, pat riotism and wisdom which will crowd upon his tongue and struggle for utterance under the inspiration of the occasion, when the great newspaper will display his name In bold head lines and predict for him a brilliant career which he is sure to realize, when the Speaker will send him a respectful note asking him to please name the commit tee which he prefers, he has not decided whether he has selected Ways and Means or Appropriations. They each have their at tractions; his seat will probably bo in front of the Speaker about three rows back on the aisle. Surely he will have great political in fluence: oh. why do so manv of his constitu ents ask his assistance in an appolntmentao' ouice, ana wny uo so many people write mm letters congratulating him on the great honor that has been conferred upon him, and. Incidentally mention some appoint ment which he might be induced to aocept The First Day in the House. At last the great eventful day arrives. He stands up with a hundred of us and takes the oath and watches with Interest the or ganization of the House,and when the draw ing of seats begins he is surprised that his name is not called about the fourth one, and as ball after ball is drawn he expects that his name will come next, and each time Is doomed to disappointment He sees seat after seat which he has thought would suit him, taken by others until finally about the 820th name called is his, and he sinks into his seat away off into the corner greatly disappointed, yet graterul that his name is called at all, for he had begun to think that there was no seat for him, and he would either have to stand up or take a stool In the aisle. The Speaker does not send him a respectful note asking him to please name the committee which he prefers; the Speaker does not ask his choice of committees. On the contrary, he finds that he has to ask the Speaker and do a great deal of asking in order to get a com mittee at all. But he gets one, and the next day bo starts out to find bis committee room, and after many inquiries, with the aid or a plumber and a lantern, he finds it away down nnder the terrace. He knows that he can never find it again, without help, nnd so he gets a piece of obalk aud makes a few marks at the turns in tho subterraneous passages so he can reach his committee room without a guide. He asks the Chair man when the committee will meet and was told that he would have due notice, and after much waiting and a few inquiries, ho discovers that'tho committee was not ap pointed to meet, but to give opportunity to a member who was active in the election of the Speaker to appoint his son to a clerk ship at a good salary. Expected to Pass Many Bills. If the new Chairman represents an agri cultural district, or Is elected through the influence of the Farmers' Alliance, he is ex pected to introduce and pass a great many bills. He does Introduce a good many, one in particular which was sent in by a very active Farmers' Alliance man, who keeps a good many bees, and raises aud sells a great deal of honey. He recollects that the bees do not like the flavor of the candidate for office when he sought the larmers' vote, two or three of them having expressed their dis approval in a very pointed and stinging way. The bill appropriates $10,000 to enable Jerry Rnsk to experiment on the crossing or honey bees with lightning bu;s on the theory that ir this experiment was successrul It would enable the bees to work nights, and thus gather more honey. He is very much intei ested in this bill, but he fails to interest any one else in it At length there is debate, and he listens with much interest to the sharp retorts that are made by the debater when he is interrupted by questions, and he thinks it a good plan to got up a lot or sharp retorts and have them all ready to fire back to those who would question him when he niaxes nis tann speecn. His First Tariff Speech. At length the House decides to hold night sessions to enable the new Congressmen to make tariff speeches. Anew member is al ways anxious to speak upon the tariff but he cannot get time. He appeals in vain to those in charge. He is Anally told to attend the night sessions and he comes. The first night he does not get tecognlzed. The sec ond night he fares no better, but the third night he is more fortunate. It rains very hard, it is cold aid wet and very disagree able. He is promptly in his seat at 8 o'clock. To his surprise none but the Chairman and the officers and himself aio present. The House is sitting during the pleasure of the House for the considera tion of the tariff. The Chairman sends word that he will recognize the new Con gressman. He goes up to the Chairman and remonstrates. He does not wish to speak to an empty house. He is told "Now or never." The vote will be taken the next day, and the time is all promised. He goes back to his seat He takes one despairing look at the galleries. Save for two or three tramps who have taken refuge from the storm the seats are empty. The Chairman says: "The gentleman from Nebraska will proceed," and he staggers to his feot and begins. The Chairman nicks up a news paper, the pages are playing leapfrog in tho hall, the tramps are snoring In the galleries, and save the stenographer who is taking down his words, no one is giving him the slightest attention. proclty. And to those who would come here to sell their wares which we can prodnoe, If come yon must, aud come you will, as you bear none of our burdens, we charge you a license and a rent That Is protection. DALZELL ON PROSPERITY. Pittsburg's Great Orator Speaks of the Keystone State's Advancement A Plea for the Ship Canal How Pennsylvania Has Prospered. Hon. John Dalzell, always a welcome speaker, had the toast "Pennsylvania." All through it he was greeted with prolonged applause. He said: There is no rhetoric mors burning, no loglo more convincing than the rhetorlo and logic of facts and flguros. Pennsylvania Is an empire within herself. Beaching from tide water to the great unsalted sea, she em braces more than two degrees of latitude and an area of 45,000 square miles. Her population now over 6,250,000, has lnoreased, 22.77 per cent in the last ten years, and it is to be noted that this population Is almost equally divided between her cities and town 325 in number, where men engage in manu facturing, mlnlnr and commercial pursuits, and her country olaces, where men are devoted to agriculture. While her city population has Increased nearly to per cent in the .last decade, her rural population has Increased only a little over 7 per cent thus showing the characteristic pursuits of her people. In 37 industrial centers tor which the eleventh census collected the statistics of manufactures, the population increased nearly S3 per cent. In Pittsburg It increased neatly 52& per cent, while McKeesport leads the list in an increase of over 152J4 per cent But one thing I wish to call your special at tention to in tbe statistics of our Quaker State, and that is that her cities are cities not of dwellings, but or homes. Fennsylvanlans for Their Homes. That people comes nearest to being God's people who stand foremost In the march of Christian civilization, where men and wo men go in the morning to face their dally toll from houses sacred to their own fami lies, and return with the evening shadows to the sanctifying influences of their own households. The ten years Just post have seen an increase of 23 per cent in Pennsyl vania dwellings and Pennsylvania families Philadelphia has more than twice as many dwellings as New York City, while 83K per cent of the population or New York live over ten in a dwelling, and 67 7-10 nor cent live over 20 In a dwelling; in Phila delphia less than 13 per cent live in dwellings containing over ten persons each. In these figures there is a thrilling music or Pennsylvania thrift and enterprise and morality, and the possibilities of noble ambitions and pure aspirations. Pittsburg has Increased her dwellings 53 per cent, and Scranton. that gem of a city which some of us know 64 per cent in the last decade. It is a oon ceded maxim that the natural law of economic growth lies in a harmonious development of agriculture, manufactures and commerce. Let us test Pennsylvania's title to greatness and Jirogress by this law. Tho value of our farm anas exceeds $1,250,000,000, and the Increase In value within ten years has been 29 per cent Finest Farm Lands in the "World. While we have eightandfour-tenths of the total population of the United States, we have nearly 10 per cent of the total value of farm land. Ohio alone exceeds Pennsylvania in this regat d. She has 6 per cent of the total population and 11 per cent or farm land value. But the richest agricultural counties In all this continent are oars. Suoh counties as Lancaster and others that I misht name are good to look upon, and make the heart glad. In all that makes agricultural wealth, in increase or cultivated acres, in value of farm stock, we are still making strides for ward. The vine and fruit trees are making conquests of our fields, while ouracreugefor ceieals has increased in the last ten years 3 Ser cent ana aggregates now 4,700,000 acres, ut Pennsylvania's wealth is under ground as well as above; in nature's storehouse or useful metals, of coal. Iron, petroleum and natural cas heat, light and power ready made. Ileie is nature's suggestion to wors: in the gift of the few nnd power alongside the raw mateiial tobe woiked. Last year we put upon the market nearly 82,000,000,000 tons of coal, and that was 74 per cent more than we produced in 1SS0. Of iron ore, we mined 1,000 500 tons; or petroleum, we pro duced 21,500,000 barrels, and $7,000,000 worth ot stone left its hiding place to add to our evidences of wealth. J. B. Hendemon. M. B.

Protection and Reciprocity the Only Hope of the 'Republican Party He Calls for a United Effort This Tear A Glowing Tribute to Grant General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, was warmly received when he took the floor. He had been assigned no particular subject, hut each of his patriotic utterances and clever definitions of party policies were loudly applauded. He spoke first of the beauty of commemorating the day, nnd then paid a tribute to the work of Pittsburg's Sanitary Corps during the war. Turning from tfiat he spoke of General Grant and then said: To General Grant perhaps more than to any otnerono man we owe the supremacy of this glorious national ensign to-day the flag that has never been unfurled in the faco ot an enemy uuc to oe planted in triumph upon his ramparts; the flag that Is Tespocted by the world and is ample protection to evety citizen, no matter now liumble or in what part or the world he may be. Gentlemen, we are unon tbe eve of an other great battle not where men are to be marshalled with muskets, sabers and cannon upon the foe, but of almost equal import ance. This mighty nation has giown to the proud position it occupies to-day, fosteied by the laws euacted by the Republican party, and the Republican party alone. The General then declared that all the laws that had made America great had been passed by the Republican party and op posed by the Democratic party, and argued that the only way to contiuue prosperity wa3 to continue the Republican party in power. He then spoke of the Keystone State as the head of the arch of Republi ism and then said: What is protection? It commences with the homeIt covers the nation. It is the first and great law of natuio to cure for one's own. That is the duty of the hour and the mission of the Republican party. I am not one of those who believe in secrecy in politics. This country is nothing mote or less than n great business concern in whloh every voter is a stockholder. We should keep men in power who will represent all the people. We should so conduct our in dustrial institutions that every man who tries to be a good citizen shall be able by his own labor to own his home, and thus have an interest in our general prosperity. Gentlemen, let us begin to form our lines for the coming contest Let "Protection and Reciprocity" the twin sisters, each equally essential go hand in hand, and when tho battle line is formed on election day.let every man be found in his place fighting for (he interests of onr common country, our whole country and our country alone. Let us reap tbe full benefit of our ovrn prosperity, and continue to say to the nations that find a market here for what we do not produce, "Open your markets free to the products of our conntry." That is reel- Great Strides In Manufacturing. But it is as a manufacturing State that Pennsylvania wears her crown of glory. I may not stop to speak of tbe varied products of her labor, for figures are uninteresting and wearisome. Look for a moment briefly at one or two ol her industries. Between 1SS0 and 1890 the State increased Its produc tion of pig iron nearly 138 per cent. Alle gheny county increased her production 393 per cent She made 15 per cent of all made in the State. During the same period Penn sylvania's crucible steel product In Ci eased 6 per cent, her Bessemer steel product 292 per cent and her open hearth steel product over 874 per cent. mu wiiiie tue wiioie u niteu states increased in the same time their production of iron nnd steel 165 per cent, Pennsylvania's in crease was 182 per cent. She made 50 per cent of the total product. Men nolonsror seek for rorelsn plate. Gone aio the glories of French and Belgian skilled workmen, in competition with Yankee ingenuity, Penn sylvania thrift and enterprise. Within but a short distance from where we are the largest plate glass establishment in the world, equipped with the most approved machinery and Ingenious appliances, fur nishes labor to 3,000 Pennsylvania workmen, and has a capacity to turn out 10,000,000 square feet of plate glass per annum. Pennsylvania's wool manufacture has In creased in the decade Just passed over 32 per cent in its prodncts, while it has increased 60) per cent in tho wages paid its employes, aud 93 per cent in its investment of capital. Not to enlarge, Pennsylvania's industries in clude almost every article of necessitv. of comfort, of luxury, filling tho entire field of the arts of peace, and furnishing the appli ances of offensive and defensive wariaie. Manufacturers of foods, of cottons, linens, woolens, carpets, manufacturers of wood, of leather, chemicals, glass, machinery, steel ana oi iron, manuiacturers oi everytntng essential to the Industrial freedom of a peo ple politically free. Another Flea for the Erie Canal. I may not stop to dwell on the figures of Pennsylvania commerce. The great instru ments of commerce are money, the measure of value, the transportation facilities, the means of exchange. Honey-combed as Pennsylvania already was with railroads, her railroads have Increased 'in the last de cade over 11 per cent. Contemplate for a moment the business of the Pennsylvania Railioadf Its net Income, main line alone, and branches between Philadelphia nnd Pittsburg, last year was over $12,000,000; $1,000,000 a montn. Its tonnage mileage aggregated over 5,000,000,000; its passeugeis mileage nearly 400,000,000. Its average cost of fiolght transportation was lcs than four tenths of a cent per ton per mile. This is to say nothing or tho tiafflo upon our magnificent waterways, thecaie and improvement of which a wise states manship must make more and moro a sub ject of cenerous national concern. Now, note the harmonious development of Penn sylvania's wealth. Population has in creased, home life has been preserved, agrl cultme had spread to new fields with multi plied products, industries have been diver sified, manufactures Increased, mineral re sources have been developed, great cities the centers as they always are of the com mercial lire of a civilized people have grown and prospered, while the intellectual and moral advancement of our people has continued.
