Nearly four thousand children In

The Effective Kemedy.
It Is a poor defense which the ofllce-seeUlngscandal-mongeisIed
by the Kev.
Dr. Silas C, Swallow set up when they
point to the fact that if the victims
of their defamation feel agrleved they
can enter Into litigation. On this score
they could equally excuse theft by
holding that the man whose property Is
stolen from him has the right of suit
for recovery.
Litigation offers no redress for the
nnguish which Is caused In the family
circle by the wanton circulation of
slander. Public opinion rightly con
demns as the most contemptible of
men him who scurries through tho
back alleys and listens at key holes
for scraps and shreds of gossip and
surmise from which to construct the
weapons of character-assassination.
Vet in this state campaign we have
before us as an avowed champion of
those despicable weapons a man who
descended to his unsavory task from
the sacred station of a Christian min
ister and Is now trying with the man
tle of the pulpit to lend dignity to
mud-throwing.
Viewed practically, what would it pro
lit a victim of this man's unruly ton
gue to sue in tho courts and obtain
a verdict? Already the law has once
stamped his utterances with the seal
of untruth, yet the How of false accus
ation and abuse continues in undim
inished volume. From high to low he
spares none, but paints the public life
of his state as altogether - bad, yet
in the face of such intemperance of
speech that defeats Itself among Intelli
gent men, his victims are taunted to
sue, as If suit would halt a purpose
so obvious or chastisement be other
than a welcome opportunity to enact
the martyr and bid for the sympathy
of the omnipresent gullible.
Therelsjust one way to remove from
public affalis the clerical scandal
mongcring of the Rev. Dr. Swallow
and that Is to vote upon It the em
phatic condemnation of the common
wealth's self-respecting electors, This
great state cannot possibly have use
for a candidate whose sole claim to
public notice his Industry In throwing
diit.
Senator Quay will be consoled to
know that Hon. Christy Kauffman
predicts his defeat.
An Example.
A dispatch from Perry. O. T., to tho
Sun, called forth by tho fifth anniver
sary of tho opening to settlement of tho
Cherokee Strip, a tiact of 18,000 square
miles In the richest part of Oklahoma,
presents n picture of swift growth
which Is fair to look upon.
""Where five years ago." the dispatch
saye, "were vast prairies Inhabited
only by a few roving cattle are today
farms, farmhouse, large towns and
nearly 200,000 prosperous people. Perry,
a city of B.000 people, is the largest
town. The railroad receipts for the
past year were $500,000. Water works,
electric lights, flouring mills, cotton
Bins, and 200 business houses are here.
V , In one county alono In the Cherokee
1 Strip, this and. Inst season, 6,000,000
bushels of wheat were harvested each
season. Every township has its full
quota of school buildings and self-sustaining
schools run ten months in tho
year. The schools and school buildings
are sustained from public lands set
apart for that purpose. Twenty eood,
prosperous towns are located In the
strip. The strip has ono tine $100,000
normal achool building, which will be
paid for from public lands set apart.
The city has $30,000 in public school
bulldlnjts. The total amount of tax
able property for this new rountry,
leaving out the farms, Is $15,500,noo."
This object lesson in Amerjcan ex
pansion will be repeated In the coming
decade In I'orto Xllco, Cuba and Luzon.
Nothing like the adaptability of Ameri
can enterprise to new conditions hns
been known elsewhere in tho history
of the world! nor Is there any parallel
to tho swiftness with which that enter
prise proceeds from trial to triumph.
The arguments of tho Powers have
for some tlnio past been entirely lost
on tho sultan of Turkey. When Uncle
Snm's ruiw begin to talk It may be different.
Good Advice.
Shoitly before ho departed from
Porto Rico Major General Wilson was
entertained at the residence of a
wealthy native about whose board were
gathered many prominent residents of
the Island. .Replying to u toast the
general gave thos people some first
rate advice, of which the following Is
a specimen;
"A titcmtfu to the future of the Porto
Illcan people is the danger of an out
break of violence and Intolerance on
the part of ono section of your people
against unother; the danger of Insular
turning against peninsular; of Porto
Rlean turning against Spaniard, with
tho torch and dagger, to avenge him
self for the wrongs and oppression, real
or Imaginary, which have s" long char
acterized the Spanish domination in
this beautiful Island. It needs no ar
gument to show that such nn outbreak,
If It becomes general, cannot fall to
bring discredit on your countrymen ns
n turbulent and lawbreaklng people
who cannot be Intrusted with the
precious privilege of self-government,
and must therefore bo ruled by a mili
tary commander. Your wrongs, what
ever they were, have been avenged by
the expulsion of the Spanish Hag and
the Spanish dominion, without exer
tion or cost on your part, and the least
you can do In return Is to repress the
spirit of revenge, and resolve to live
In peace and quietude with your Span
ish neighbors, respecting their rights of
person and property, as you desire to
have your own respected. In this way,
and In this way only, can you show
yourselves to be worthy of the great
destiny which has overtaken you, and
which, let us hope, Is to speedily clothe
your Island with sovereignty ns a mem
ber of the great continental republic."
With very little change these words
also tit with exactness tho conditions
of the Cuban people. In Cuba tho na
tives have exerted themselves and
made sacrifice beyond parallel In hope
of freedom, and It Is their right, If they
so elect, to have an Independent gov
ernment of their own Just as soon as
they can form one which will be Just,
enlightened and stable; but meanwhile.
In return for American help they
should set an example of Justice, clem
ency and patience.
Nay Aug park Improvements are be
coming more noticeable daily ns the
rough edges of nature are smoothed
down here and there by roads and
pathways. Tho park commissioners
could doubtless facilitate tho Improve
ments In an Inexpensive; manner If
they would arrest and press In road
service the gangs of tramps that skulk
about the outskirts of the pleasure
grounds that they once owned. Under
proper care the Nay Aug tramp might
become quite a useful citizen.
ine Issue Boiled Down.
"We are o situated in this country
that laws are paseed and repealed
through the instrumentality of politi
cal parties. No man can rise higher
than the party with which ho nfllllates,
or can Individually work out his ideas
of reform legislation except through
the instrumentality of that party. The
ambitions of individuals, politically,
mast bo subordinate to party action,
no matter how estimable and worthy
a candidate may be, no matter how
many personal admirers he may hav.
It Is never a question with the people
of his hopes or ambitions; It always
la, and should be, a question of party
principles which places him In nomina
tion. We must necessarily look to tho
purposes, to the principles and to the
creeds of the two great political parties
that influence and control legislation
In this country. We can only Judge
of the course which the party is to pur
sue in the futuie by the course which
it bus pursued In the past.
"We stand today In the presence of
two great political organizations which
have placed candidates In the field,
and we will affiliate with and support
either ono political organization or the
other. Our Inquiry, then, should bo
directed to the two political parties.
What docs the Republican-party stand
for? What does the Democratic party
stand for? Wc are about to vote for
the state ticket, for legislative tickets
and for congressional tickets. The
candidates of the Democratic party or
the candidates of the Republican
party will receive the majority of
votes. o havo a right to inquire of
the past history of the parties the
same as of tho past history of individ
uals. "What Is the purpose, what is the
plan, what Is the creed of tho Repub
lican party? Its purpose Is easily told
and well understood by all. First. It
will stand by our present wise DIngley
tnrllf bill. Second. It will stand for
sound money. Third. It will support
the president of the United States In
his adjustment of the grave national
issues that grow out of our late war
with Spain. This Is the purpose, this
Is the creed of the TJepubllcan party.
"What Is the purpose, what is the
creed of tho Democratic party? First.
It will, If it comes Into power, seek to
repeal our present DIngley tariff law
and supplant It with another Wilson
bill, or worse. Second. It will support
the free coinage of silver and attempt
by legislation to bring that about.
Third. It will oppobo President Mc
Klnley In his policy of settlement of
questions growing out of our late war
with Spain. These aro Its purposes,
this is Its creed, and this Is what it
will do If It gets Into power.
"The issuo is very simple. No man
need be in doubt ns to the tesuo be
tween the two parties. All attempts to
divert this Issue are ridiculous, They
may influence the Ignorant or the
prejudiced, or there who havo been
disappointed in their political ambi
tions, but the voter who is not Ignor
ant, who Is not prejudiced, and who
is not Influenced by his disappointed
political ambitions will not ba mills
as to tho trup Issue Involved In this
cnnipalgn." Colonel W. A. Stone, at
Media.
The stoning of tho Spanish General
Tornl by a mob because of the sorry
appearance of his repatriated soldiers
offers an opportune object-lesson of
Spanish Inability to properly connect
cause with effect. This spaam of pas
sion, by no means without provocation
in the shoeless and almost naked con
dition of the returning conscripts whose
departure for Cuba three yenrs before
had been so "glorious," vents Its fury
on an Innocent and nu honorable man,
whoso regret at tho collapse of Spanish
authority Is equal to the mob's own,
nnd leaves free In their opportunities
for mischief the pot-house politicians
nt Madrid to whom alone Spain's mis
fortunes have been due. These men,
unlike tho mob, were not Ignorant of
tho consequences they were Inviting,
but they lacked both the principle and
the courage which should have made
them choose the path of national
safety. If romplcte Justice wore done
there would be a good many sensational
hangings In the vicinity of tho Spanish
capital,

Meade Dispatch in tho Philadel
phia Press.
If the foregoing version Is correct.
Major I'ark has taken a manly posi
tion. Either he Is guilty and deserving
of full punishment, or Innocent, and
therefore not punishable nt nil. An at
tempt by the judge advocate or nny
body else to compromise the cass
would Illustrate the very worse possi
ble kind of military discipline. The
country Is not looking for compromises
these days; It wants the truth.
"I have read the speeches of those
who arc engaged In the attempt to
create the Impression that the Repub
lican party In Pennsylvania Is dishon
est and corrupt. I have not been able
to find a charge of a single lnstnnce
of dishonesty or corruption made by
reputable speakers, nnd yet they are
endeavoring to create that Impression,
nlded by newspapers throughout the
state. They do not charge that any
money has been lost to the state In the
thirty-seven years of Republican con
trol; they do not specify any Instance
In which the party has dono anything
dishonest. It Is tho old cry of the
demagogue In politics, charging and
vilifying opponents." Colonel Stone
at Mcdln.
Mr. Wnnamaker's Ifoncsdale speech
was nn Ingenious Indictment of the last
legislature delivered with a good deal
of force, yet it was not made clear
by anything he nld how he proposes
to effect an Improvement in the next
one. Ills remedy seems to be fusion
of Independents nnd Democrats, but
political history shows nothing more
conspicuously than that this almost
uniformly hns resulted worse than the
original disease. The Republicanism
of Pennsylvania must do Its own doc
toring inside its own lines, and that It
Is doing this Is shown In the fact that
a large proportion of the objectionable
members of the last legislature have
not been renominated.
A sensible nttltude Is assumed by
the Republicans of Connecticut who
alllrm their belief that "if by the mis
conduct or Incompetency of any of
ficials the health or the lives of our
holdlers have been unnecessarily sacri
ficed or endangered tho president and
his constitutional advisers will make
such Investigations as will bring the
offenders, regardless of past or pres
ent affiliations, to punishment " This
confidence in William McKlnley is not
misplaced,
Tho Internal revenue receipts for
July, the first month of collections
under tho war revenue act, were $27,
801,573, which is an Increase of $8,331,
710 as compared with the month of
July, 1S07, At this rate the act will be
good for $100,000,000 of extra revenue s
year, but for quite a time Uncle Sam
will probably need every cent of it.
The tonnage which passed through
the Suez canal last year was 4,SJ2,07S.
The Suez canal Is open throughout the

hint of what will happen down in Cen

Notable Growth of
Oiir Banking System.
THE banking, currency, coinage nd
production of precious metals In
the United States during tho past
century aro presented In great de
tail by a scrleB of tableb Just Is
sued by the treasury buie.iu ot statistics
ns a part of the July summary of com
inercu and finance. These tables, cover
ing more than ono hundred pages of this
unusually largo volume, present a very
complete picture of tho firowth of the
banking yatem nnd of tho currency, both
metallic and paper, and to this Is added
for comparative purposes a brief state
ment of the banking and currency condi
tions and gold nnd sliver production In
other parts of the world.
o
An examination of these figures cover
ing tho bunking and curiency hlstoiy of
country brings to the surfaco some Inter
setlng fucts. The earliest figures ure
those of 1771 which give the specie at that
date nt $l,oon,noo. The same htatement
puts tho specie tn 1781 at $10,000,000. the
number of banks three, with a capital nt
$2,100,000 nnd a circulation of $s,(nO.000.
By 17!)? the number of hnnks had In
number of banks three, with a capital of
$in,200,000, the bank eh eolation to $10,000,.
000, nnd tho specie to IIJ.OOO.'JUO.
o
The story of tho cmtury 1797-1807 Is told
very fully In tho elaborate series of tables
both as to banks and their currency, and
Bold nnd silver production nnd coinage.
Tho number of banks In 17!)7 wns 'So, In
1M7, S.1J7. The capital In 1707 was $19,2W,
000, In 1S97. $1.027.193,85.1. Tho bank circu
lation In 1797 was $10,000,000, In 1S'.'7, $198.
K0,C70. The deposits In the First Bank of
the United States In 1803, the earliest
dato at which reports of bunk deposps
are obtainable, amounted to fS.500,000; tho
Individual deposits reported by the y,4S7
banks In 1S97 unlimited to 5.iy:l.75:.,807, of
which $l,!3!i,376,035 were classed as sav
ings deposits.
o
The Increase In the number of st'ite
banks prior to tho war Is shown to have
been very rapid, the nimber In ISM being
329; In 1S10,7I1; In 1850, 609; In 1&40, 1.562.
The decrease from 1SC0 was equally rapid,
the number of stntn batiks In lSW being
3,02.1; In 1801, 319, nnd In 1SH8. 247. whllo the
number of national banks organized In
1SC3, 1804, nnd 1SG3 wns l.tOl. Htate
banks ngaln Increased In numbers
after 1S6S, the number In 1872 be
ing 5CG; In IS:,. 975, In 18SS, 1,103; In 1S90.
2,101; In 1891, .1.5SG. and In 1897, the number.
Including private banks, Is reported nt
3,873. Prior to 1SC0 the deposits in slate
banks amounted to but little more than
half tho capital stock, while since 1877
deposits have at all times been moro than
double tho amount of capital stock, and
lr, 1897 were $721,15)0,795, against a capital
stock of $22S,677,0SS.
-o
The statements regarding the amount
of money In circulation In the United
States at various periods are equally In
teresting. Tho amount In circulation In
1800 Is given nt $1.09 per capita; In 1810,
$7.60; In 1S20. $6.9fi; In 1830, $.f9. In 1810,
$10.91; In 1S50, $12.02; In IROO. J13.S5; In 1RU3,
$20.57; In 1S70, $17.30; In 1880, $19.11; In 1890.
$22.S2. Rnd in 1898, $21.71. The statement
regarding gold production and coinage
In the United States and in the world
shows that tho mines of tho United Stales
produced moro gold In the year 1S97 than
In any preceding year, except those of
the great gold developments of California
1832-3-1. Tho gold production of the
United States In 1S97 Is given at $37,363,000.
while that of 1S52 was $00,000,000. that of
1853. $5.000.000. and that of 1S5I. $60,000,iOO.
Colorado Is shown to have taken In 1897
first placo In the rank of gold producing
states, her production In that year be
ing $19.11,200, against $11,618,300 by Cali
fornia; whllo prior to that time California
had constantly stood nt the head of the
column of gold-producing states.
o
Tho colnngo of gold by the United
States mints in 1897 was $til,63I.SC5, which
Is nearly 3u9c greater than the average
annual coinage f,lnce 1S,0.
o
Thn statements covering the gold pro
duction of tho world ure also especially
Interesting. They show by stated periods
the amount of gold produced In the world
slnen tho discovery of America, the total
vnluo of the gold produced from 1192 t'i
1898 (estimating 1897 at $210,000,000) being
$9,02,!.320.COO, of which amount ?G.065,097.6i0
hns been produced slneo 1850, the product
of the last half century thus being double
that of the preceding 350 years.
DIETARY DAY.
From the Philadelphia Puss.
Secretary Day's formal resignation of
tho post from which ho announced his
retirement six weeks ago ends nn unique
career. Ulghtcen months aco he was a
shrewd country lawyer of nearly thirty
years' practice, who was known to a
limited clrclo In his own profession hi
various cities who had come in contnet
with him as a lawyer of sreat acumen
nnd keen Judgment, though of limited
practice. Today he l recognized the world
over as a man who has conducted the
diplomatic affairs of a great nation at a
critical period with dignity. Judgment nnd
success. Much Is said of diplomatic train
ing In International affairs, but they re
quire the same qualities ns all other ncgo.
tlatlon, and native ability. Integrity and
elevation of character count for more In
them than mere technical dexterity. Mr.
Day had these qualities, and his success
will bo gratefully remembered by Ameri
cans as a proof of our national resource
equal to nny developed In the war. It l
scarcely an exaggeration to say that not
a mistake has been made by him In the
conduct ot affairs, and his moderation i
not his least title to national approval.
HAHD FACTS.
Since the DIneley tariff went Into cifect
thousands of steel cun barrels in tho

Tho British Columbian provincial legis

In an effort to reduce weight Kuropenn
military authorities are endeavntlnj; ti
rubstltuto aluminum for Iron, copper and
steel In the manufacture of all articles nt

ounces on each shoe. Tho coat Is no
greater.
Tho Russian birth rate Is so far In ex
