I shnll bo the rjovernor of the whole people of the state. Abue have uncloubtcdl erovvu up In the leRls laturo which aro neither the fault of ono party nor tho other, but rather tho growth of custom. Unnecessary Invests Ration? hava been authorized by commit tees, resulting In unnecci'sary expense to the state. It will be my raro nnd pur rose to correct these nnd other evils In o far as 1 have tho power. It will bo my purpose while governor of 1'ennsylvanin, rs it has been m.v purpose In the public positions that 1 linvo held, with God's help, to discharge mv whole duty. Tho people are greater than the parties ' which they belong. I am only Jnalmu of their favor. I shal' only attempt to win their apprnvnl nnd my experience has taught me tlint that can best he done by nn honest, modest, dally discharge of public duty. "The highest tribute that can he paid to the soldier Is to say that he per formed his full duty. The field of duty is determined by his government, nnd wherever that chances lu be Is the place of honor. All hnvo helped In the great cause, whether In ramp or battle, nnd when peace comes nil will alike be entitled to the nation's gratitude." President MeKinley. Railway Organs Battled. It will cause regret among but It will hardly surprise the members of the Anthracite association recently organ ized In this city to learn that its de termination to go gunning for the scalps of railway officials who practice systematic discrimination against an thracite coal does not command the sympathies of the railway organs. A good many of these organs that at first treated the Anthracite association as a joke are now exhibiting a disposition to cjuestlon whether its is going to be as funny as they expected. Take, for ex ample, tills typical utterance of the Philadelphia Stockholder: Tho long-range view of the tactics be ing pursued by tho anthracite association docs not tend to enhance expectation of early material results from the opera tions of that body. At the formation of the association it was announced to bo its primary Intention to confer with tho anthracite carrying companies, with tho view of arriving at a better understand ing as to tolls on hard coal, and the re lations between tho producers and tho railroads. Falling In this, It was stated to bo tho purposo of tho association to advance tho construction of a new rail road between New York and the northern anthracite Heals. Hoth of those declared plans apparently have been lost tight of, Tho first certainly was worth a trial. Instead, however, of making amicable ad vances to tho companies, the association has adopted apparently tho solo pol icy of coercion by mtans of litigation and appeals to tho Interstate commerce commission. This Is extremely disap pointing to thoso interested lu nnthraiito properties, whether mines or railroads. Tho hopo had been entertained that a frank Interchange of views and co-operation in tho direction of reclaiming anthra cite's former markets would open tho way toward a betterment of tho situa tion. That something In this direction could have been accomplished there Is no reason to doubt; that anything ever will bo accomplished by appeals to the law Is extremely doubtful. Experiences, recent and numerous on all sides, eo com pletely confirm this view as to render argument in Its support wholly unneces sary. Our contemporary, It will bo noticed, still tries to make light of the asso ciation's plans, but between tho lines you ran see that It is worried. It is hardly so innocent us to think that th association's "primary purpose" win merely to "confer" with the anthracite carrying companies. It knows too well how prevlouj conferences have result ed, when the only weapon in the mln operators' hands wus the manifest equity of their plea. Nor Is It so ill Informed as to believe that the con struction of tho proposed new rail road has ben lost sight of. On tho contrary It has only to make postal card Inquiries to ascertain that sur veys nre being rushed with vigor and nil details gotten ready for actual rail laying. As fur the policy of "co-erclon by meanH of litigation" we hasten to assure it that if the railroads have obfyed the law they need have no dread of consequences. If they have violated It, to make them stop tho vio lation irf not coercion but Justice. The Anthracite association has en listed in this fight to win. It will be come "amicable." . the moment It re ceives the surrender of Its oppressors, but not before. The successor of Russell A. Alger as secretary of war will undoubtedly be a man capable of respecting the con fidences of personal correspondence. Manifestly the Proper Thing. Very general indeed, we may soy unanimous assent greets tho proposi tion that when congress re-assembles It revive tho grade of admiral and recommend to the executive tho ap pointment to that position of Rear Admiral Dewey. It Is evident from a recent Interview that Secretary Lonrj Is heartily favorable to this Idea, for he "Mrtually admits that when tho execu Jvc, In tho first flush of Dewey's ilatilla victory, acted In tho matter ot Dewey'f. promotion neither he nor tho cavy department had then taken tho Vermont commodore's fall measure. Dewey becnnio a rear admiral six months earlier than If he hnd tlnmj nothing; that In to iay, he was moved up two points, while for defeating Oerveni Sampson nnd Schley were ad vanced, tho one eight point and ttin other six. It la not n reflection upon any of the other nnval ofTicers who in this war were Introduced to spclnl opportuni ties nnd acquitted themselves well to point out that tho responslhllltlen en countered and grandly mastered by Dewey were tho most onerous nnd ex acting that have over befallen the lot of an American naval commander. Ills ha been tho supreme djty. Let hU, therefore, be the supreme reward. This advantage presents itself in connection with tho movement to make Dewey admiral, Its success will not encoun ter orio syllable of dlsent, among eith er I ho people In general or Dewey's colleagues in the naval service. More important than the political problem In free Cuba will bo the prob lem of finding for Idle Cuban hands something profitable r.nci honorable to do. Industry Is ut once a great edu cator and n great hnrmonizer. The Crisis in the Far East. Tho foreign policy of tho Salisbury cabinet Is receiving tho universal con demnation of all shndes of political opinion In Europe. Such a consensus of adverse criticism Is as unique as It Is significant. Lord Salisbury's suplne ness In denllng witii Russia In the east has alarmed Kncllshmen as they were never alarmed since Napoleon threatened to Invade their country. They do not know how far he has gone, or is likely to go, in acquiescence In Russia's aggressiveness and territorial nggrnndlzement. Englishmen aro al ready realizing that the dismember ment of China Is n preflgurntlon of the disintegration of their own vast em tire. The premier's policy Is Inexplic able on the ordinary grounds of na tional Interest. Ills diplomacy has been no mntch for Russian Intrigue, lie assures China that If she holds out against tho designs and demands ot Russia. England will support her. Hut China does not hold cut. When Rus sia makes n demand, 'China, after a display of oriental procrastination, yields. She either mistrusts the abil ity of England to resist Russia, or, what Is more likely, Russian Influence in her government is paramount. The emperor of China is a weakling, a fatalist without moral or physical strength either to direct, control or govern his vast kingdom. Nominally omnipotent, practically Kwangsu, tho Son of Heaven, Is more a clod of the earth than a divine despot. The em press dowager Is tho real ruler, and LI Hung Chang Is her minister. Roth favor Russian designs as more In con sonance with their own avurlclousness than Great Britain's open door. How far they may go In this direc tion depends entirely on how far Lord Salisbury proves pliable, and the Eng lish people acquiescent. Just nt pres ent It seems that England has allowed the Intrigues nt Pekln to go as far as she will submissively permit without trouble. Tho English people do not readily follow the sinuosities even of their own diplomacy. But Russia's c cupatlon of Manchuria, and the French triumph In Nigera, has shaken off the national lethargy. If Russia has for bidden China to accept a loan, In such a comparatively small matter as Is In volved In the construction of u rail way from Tlenstlen to Newchwang, from English capitalists, tiero is an end to the sphere of British Influence In the east. But Russia has struck nearer home. She has demanded from the Shah of Persia the strong position of Raheltu. on tho Strait of Bab-el- Mandeb, If the Persian is forced to acquiesce, the Suez canal would he practically dominated by Russia and England's wny to India blocked as ef fectively as If the czar was the ruler of Port Said. It Is reported that Lord Salisbury Is yielding to the desire of the queen, who has no wish to sign another dec laration of war which she forsces would dim the last days of her long nnd glorious reign. Her Influence among the crowned heads of Europe is great. She can even hold in check the impetuosity of tho Emperor William, who is more responsive to her counsel than to that of nny other human be ing. Rut, of course, her pacificatory Intercession has Its limits. It is prob able that the czar himself is not In dividually anxious for war or a farther extension of his Illimitable dominions. Russia has never displayed much vitality In a civilized warfare. Charles XII. of Sweden nearly drove Peter the Great off his throne; It was not Rus sian arms that drove back the Napo leonic Invaders; In her war with Eng land In tho Crimea Russia showed many weak spots In her mighty frame- work; In her last war with Turkey, she evinced more uncertainty nnd in capacity than Invincible strength In dealing with u comparatively weak an tagonist. Of course there Is France to bo reckoned with. Whether England obtains ulllcs or not, she will certainly have to reckon with France In a war with Russia. But neither tho queen nor Lord Sal isbury can stave off a war, however long they may help to frustrate It, once Englishmen have made up their minds to fight. Upon this point Great Britain is acting on the principle that the longer the inevitable hour Is de layed, the better prepared Russia will be to resist her on the seas and in the field. Tho Russian Siberia army con RlstB of from CO.OOO to 70,000 men. Eng land can meet this force on the spot by probably an equal number. If France should attempt to reinforce the Russians In tho east, sho would, of course, have to disable the English fleet. Tho English naval power is di vided Into two great squadrons, in European waters, known respectively as the Channel squadron and the Mediterranean squadron. Their re spective names serve to Indtcato their positions, the one In tho home waters; the other in the Mediterranean. Both are within striking distance of the French shores. Great Britain would in the event of war tit out at least two flying squadrons. The first would sail directly for tho Baltic; tho second would make for the Euxlno or Black Sea, with a view to forcing the Dar dannelles lu the process. We do not know how far thte policy would be successful: hut that It will be her strategic manoeuvre on tho outbreak of war Is obvious and necessary. Tho disposal of hnr fleet In Asiatic waters would depend upon Japan. The gov ernment of the Mikado Is only too anxious to co-opcrnto with Great Brit ain In a war In which It Is no less con cerned than England herself. Japan has some of the largest and fastest battleships In the world'. In the mean time tho powerful llects of France and Russia will combine, If not for thn In vasion of Enclund, nt least for the blockade and destruction of her ports nnd the conquest or devastation of her colonial possessions. Wo are evidently on the eve of tho most momentous nnd sanguinary war In the history of tho world. Spain's belief that Bhe will not have to i?ve up the Philippines recalls the fact that It was not long ago that she didn't expect to havo to rel'nqulsh Cuba. ! I. A Temperance Lecture. Not less striking than the finely bal anced moral Judgment which tho pres ident has shown during his handling of the Cuban problem has been his power of physical endurance. It Is said by thoso who havo knowledge upon this BUbJoct that since tho controversy with Spain became acute Mr. MeKin ley has not averaged four hours of un broken sleccp in twenty-four. In other words, live-sixths of his time has been given to mental and physical activity, most of it under a strain such as few of our presidents ever experienced; yet today, though worn, he Is perfectly well nnd needs only natural rest to re store him to a normal condition. A cabinet ofllcer, speaking upon this point to the Wushlngton correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, remarks: "I have seeen the president constantly all throughout this matter. He. has been In good health, in equitable tem per, In perfect equipoise, and In un changing mood of confidence. He has beeen a Christian gentleman all of his life, never given to revelry or ribaldry. Therefore, when he was confronted with conditions requiring perfect health nnd perfect mental balance he was equal to the emergency. If I were given to moralizing I could deliver a temperance lecture on this subject." A lecture Is unnecessary. The exam ple sufllces. Mts. Frances Hodgson Burnett is nr;aln in trouble. Upon receiving her divorce from Dr. Burnett sho desired to be known only as Frances Hodgson. To this arrangement her publishers object. They claim that her reputa tion has been made undoi the name of Burnett and that to drop it would bo financial suicide. It begins to look as though the talented writer would have to brgln nt the bottom of tho ladder of fame again unless sho will consent to tho use of her old title, or apply "successor to" when affixing tho new signature. An honorable nnd characteristic at titude has been assumed by Governor Black, of New York, who will not lift a linger to secure his own renomlna tion but who submits the matter In absolute good faith to the people. Black's administration has been singu larly high-minded, courageous nnd (successful. If merit ruled as it should there would be no uncertainty of his renomlnatlon nnd re-election. Even as It is wo expect to see him given a sec ond term. The promotions made among the captains of Sampson's command are ;it the expense of those of Dewey's, which Is another wny of saying that congress must pass the naval person nel bill which does away with this kind of Injustice. Y.-.ung Cnptaln Bradlee Strong, of New York, It Is said, will marry Prin cess Kalulanl, of Hawaii, heir to a throne which no longer exists. This looks very much like chasing the royal matrimonial rainbow. Personally Tomas Estrada Palma, of the Cuban delegation, thinks It Is only a question of time when the people of Cuba will wish annexation. And prob ably not a long time at that. In a short time it is probable that Bob Fltzsimmons' name will again ap pear In the papers In as largo type a that lately dfevoted to General Shafter. The nil round patriot who has not filed an application for n postofrtco at Cuba or Porto Rico Is too slow to dab ble in modem politics. With the dawn of peace the flour sack headlines have disappeared from the news pages of most of our esteem ed contemporaries. During the coming theatrical season tho stage villain who does not wear a Spanish costume will be of little ac count. m If Secretary Alger desires to be hap py he will ut onto cancel any contracts ho may have with press clipping bu reaus. The war bulletin boird was called In Just In time to save the fall the atrical board from total oblivion. At the arrival of white-winged peace thero was also considerable brilliance In the dawn of Secretary Day. TOLD BY THE STABS. Daily Horoscope Drawn by Ajacchus, Tho Tribune Astrologer.

Proposed Change In Party Rtil?s Editor of Tho Tribune- Sir: The writer, In his oluervatlon pub lished a few dnyo ago In The Tribune, was not iictunted by a desire to croate, In a controversial net'se, a discussion over the Crawford county tulen. nor does ho proporo to bo drawn Into such a discussion over the relative moiits of tho present or the proposed system of nominating- candidates. His purpoce was to awaken, if possible, a sufllclont Inttrost In these as would lend to a broader knowledge of what tho proposed plan renlly Is and what may posnlbly follow Us adoption. Those of us who were In at tendance at tho lust city convention fully Ennroclato how tho Crawford rules wero presented thero without reading and with out debate. It Is to prevent, If possible, a recurrence of such prcclpltato und In judicious methods that theso observa tions havo been made. It Is not so much tho deslro of the writer to obstruct tlnlr adoption as It Is to reveal their charac ter, and If there Is merit In them they will stand analysis, If not. they ought to fall. o Wo havo already adverted to several of tho dangerous features of theso rules taken collectively and while they may be In a sense hypothetical they are suffi ciently important and so near to the line of probability as to merit tho closest scrutiny, Irrespective of thu faults, real or Imaginary, which are the consequence of tho maladministration of the present party rules. Such scrutiny should bo mado dlspasslcnatcly and without pre judice and with an eye single to party wclfaro if adopted they Hre to bo the rules of tho Republican party, and any consideration, therefore, of their ethical or moral effect upon the entire body politic Is Irrelevant. Will they or will they not advance party Interest Is the chief consideration. -o Tho question of the political regenera tion of tho boodler rnd tho heeler, of tho briber and tho bribe-taker, must be con sidered from a different standpoint; as well might wo expect tho discipline of the church to cieale within Its members pure hearts as to expect party rules to make righteousness prevail In politics. Notwithstanding the dnngcrs, real and apparent, In tho adoption of the rules thero appears to bo a disposition to "run tho rapids." But let us first clear the fchlp of tho barnacles so that It may havo easy and snfo passage. In other words, If wo aro to have a direct nominating sys tem let It be free from such defects us are clearly npparcnt and easily remedied. It Is presumed that tho rules adopted at the last city convention and ns published In The Tribune tho day of their ndop tlon, will bo presetted at tho county con vention. So that the voters may not be drawn into this current of reform with out n moderato understanding of its, sig nificance, tho following additional ob servations aro submitted: -o Rulo 1 says: The organization shall consist of n vigilance committee of threo members In each district of the county, and of a county committee, which shall be chosen by tho chairman of the countv convention and tho several candidates. This takes the organization entirely out of tho hands of the voters nnd places It absolutely In tho hands of tho chairman of the county convention (a body, by tho way, for which tho rules make no pro vision whatever) who may name ns many committeemen ns he chooses and whom sccver ho pleases. Should tho chairman wear a "collar" It Is clearly manifest that tho boss can shape party affairs In accordance with his desires and execute any political trickery without fear of opposition. Why thus contract the priv ileges of tho electors In a system which Is supposed to extend their authority? Why Is the membership of the county committee mado an unknown quantity? o Rule 2 reads, In part, "each voter for threo electors of the district for such vigilance committee nnd the person re ceiving the largest number of votes as member of tho vigilance committee shall act as Judge, and tho other two as In spectors? What other two? There can be as many candidates for vigilance com mltteo as there are electors In tho dis trict. Why not make it explicit and say tho two receiving the next highest num ber of votes shall act as inspectors? Rule 5 does not Indlcnto the num ber of committeemen sufficient to consti tute a quorum. This Is important as its omission may give to an unscrupulous and designing chairman opportunities now denied him. Hide 7 says: "The persons having a right to vote at tho primary election shall be Republicans who arc or may bo legally qualified voters In the electloi district at tho next general election, and who voted the Republican ticket nt tho last preceding Renoral election." Hero Is a deliberate "freezo out" of the Independ ent voter. Ono must bo a Republican all the time or a perjurer part of the time. This may bo pood politics but Its bad policy. Strlko out tho words, "and who voted tho Republican ticket at the last preceding general election," and let it go at that. o Rulo 11 reads: "In case nny vigilance committee shall knowingly receive bal lots from five or moro persons not en titled to vote under theso rules the con vention Is authorized to reject the entire voto of tho district where such ballots wero received." Hero Is where tho fine hand of the politician Is apparent. This rule opens tho door to moro manipulation of tho returns, and more boodlclsm than was over dreamed of. Suppose a candi date Is within two hundred votes of tho required number to glvo him tho nomina tion. Ho lines the pockets of tho vigil ance committee from a district having that number of votes, which may belong to his closest competitor: they admit that llvo or moro Illegal votes may have been cast in their district. If this can didate can control thn convention, either honestly or bv purchase, these two hun dred votes may bo thrown out, tho voters of tho district thus disfranchised nnd the candidate becomes tho party nominee by tho same old method. This rule ought to bo stricken out entirely. o Rulo 13 authorizes tho executlvo com mittee to approximate the oxpenso of the primaries and assess each candidate his proportionate sharo of such expense. It dees not, however, demand of tho county chairman an Itemized statement of such receipts and expenditures. Such a state ment Is not duo to tho candidates but It would havo a restraining influence upon any one disposed to dlshoucbtly appro priate any portion of such assessments. Rule IS designates what the ballot shall contain. An Important omission, how ever, uppears which if done by accident Is excusable, but If done by design is cul puble. No provision Is made for Insert ing upon tbe ballot tne namo or a canui date for return Judge, or representative In the county convention. This deprives the electors of tho prlvllego of choosing a proper rcprcsetatlve to participate In the deliberations of the convention, nnd no matter what question may be about to come up for consideration the voters aro denied the opportunity of voicing their sentiments thereon. The Judge of election may or may not bo a fit repre. sentatlve. However, there is no way by which tho voters can either dlreet or re strain his action In the convention, ex cept by verbal Instruction, and such in struction It Is most probable- ho will get from tho dlctrlct boss. o Rulo 16 provides for the printing nnd distribution of tho official ballots, some what after the marner ns provided in the Baker ballot law. At tho sumo time It creates an open door for tho old tlmo ballot fixlnc evil. Tho candidates may. fifteen days before tho primaries, pso cure from the county chairman ns many official ballots as they deslro. Theso can bo fixed and ready for use ut tho pri maries, and being official must bo ac cepted. Any ore familiar with tho fixing process as 'resorted to In by-gone days tally comprehends what this means. Rule 17 defines tho manner In which vigilance commltUe shall "keep the om- MUM nn A Ready to This sentence tells a story of time saved in the selec tion of materials, worry saved in the making, and money saved in the buying.

Why all this restriction upon tho distri bution of tho ballot when there may be thousands of the official ballots floating around tho county, as a result ot tho privilege extended to tho candidates by rulo 16? Was there ever Mich nn at tempt at "wide open secrecy" of tho bal lot? o Now as to tho county convention. What constitutes it? Who participates in Its deliberations?

C. It. Acker. Scranton, Aug, 13. THE PHILIPPINES. T. J. Morgan In tho New York Tribune. Our history has been distinguished from tho beginning by threo great factors: first, territorial expansion; second, suc cessful colonization, and third, healthful assimilation of a'len peoples. Tho only elements of novelty In tho caso of tho Philippines aro that they havo come to us by conquest; that they arc separated by wide expanse of water, und that large numbers of peoplo nre suddenly thrown upon us. Hut theso facts do not ersen tially affect tho problem. By our growth in rei-ources, in numbers, in oxpe-lerico and Ir. facilities of communication we nro better prepared today to grapplo with thet.o new problems than we were to handlo thoso that grew out of tho Mexi can conquest or out of tho Alaskan pur chase.
