It will be my purpose when elected to no conduct myself as to win tho respect and cood will of those who have opposed me as well as those who havo given me their support. I ehall be the governor of the whole peoplj of tho state. AbuaM havo undoubtedly grown up in me legis lature whlc h are neither the fault o one party nor the other, but rather tho srowth of custom. Unnecessary investi gations havo been authorized by commit tees, resultlrK In unnecessary expense to the state. It will be my enre and pur pose to correct these and other evils In so far as I havo the power. It will be my purpose while governor of Pennsylvania, as it has been my purpose in the public positions that I havo held, with God'a help, to discharge my whole duty. The people aro greater than the parties o which they belong. I am only Jealous of their favor. I shall only attempt to win their approval and my experlenco has taught me that that can test be done by an honest, modest, dally discharge of public duty. If those who are preparing- a new bond ordinance for submission to councils want to popularize themsel ves they will take to heart the advice of Punch to couples about to marry: "Don't." Fair Flay for the Administration, Gradually as the public regains that equilibrium which was disturbed for a time by its sudden introduction to the horrors of war it Is reaching a correct appreciation of the difficulties against which tho administration at Washington had to contend in organ izing and conducting; this swiftly suc cessful campaign. The first tendency was to blamo Secretary Alger and, through him, the president for every delinquency, oversight, neglect or mis take in tho management of each sep arate camp, transport and hospital; but it is becoming clear as Inquiry into these matters goes deeper into the facts that a large part of the outcry against Alger has been undeserved and unjust; that It should have been directed in the first place against the camp com mandants and staff subordinates who, in the face of army needs and perils. Instead of taking hold to remedy de fects and to insure quick honoring of requisitions and the like, spent their time in log-rolling against each other and in dodging responsibility; and in the aecona place, againsl the past apathy of public opinion toward the needs of our military arm. No secretary of war having before him the stupendous problem that con fronted General Alger at the begin ning of hostilities, when the machin ery of caring for 25,000 regulars who had not in thirty years been mobilized either in divisions or In corps had suddenly to be expanded to ten times Its normal dimensions and spread out over a field of military operations that extended 10.000 miles from Pan Juan on the East to Manila on the West, could rightly have been expected per. sonally and simultaneously to be In every camp and hospital and supervise every detail of their administration. He had necessarily to rely for his in formation as to the condition of these army centers upon the representations made to him by subordinates; and It is becoming plainer day by day that many of these subordinates, whether from a false sense of duty or an equal ly false sense of pride, did not report facts as they were but suppressed both facts and complaints, or in other words deceived the officials at Wash ington respecting many things which, had those officials known, they would have spared no resource in remedying. But back of all this and wholly an terior to the immediate conduct of the military movements of the war are pertain causes of mischief for which, not Alger, not McKnley, not the On cers of the line or staff but the Ameri can people as a whole are to blame; and If popular, clamor were in the slightest degree just, for every brick It throws at the head of the war de partment it would throw a brick house at itself. We have said that not in thirty years has our little regular army ever had a manoeuvre calling to gether at one place a division or a corps. This is true, but the fault is not Alger's neither Is It the fault of the generals who have been In com mand. Each and all of these have re peatedly petitioned congress to pro vide means for annual encampments, which, like the brigade and division encampments of our National Guard, teach not only the men of the line how to move in mass but also the officers of the staff and the generals how to take care of large camps of mobiliza tion and drill. But congress, respond ing to popular parsimony, has uni formly Ignored these representations, with the result that when the moblll zatlon had to take place In excitement and rush, nobody knew his proper duty or place and things became for a time Inextricably confused. Here we have the foundation fault of the whole matter! stupid past ne glect of army Interests and necessities, for which every citizen Is In part re sponsible, tho present howlers most of all, since as they now howl out re proaches they then yelled for economy. But there are more Immediate faults chargeable to congress and people which should not be loaded wholly upon McKlnlcy and Alger. For Instance, It was not Alger's fault that tho last congress, stampeded by National Gunrdsmcn then eager to do all the fighting but now tho first to want to come home, defeated the original Hull bill which would havo built up the regular army to a point where It would havo needed practically no reinforce ment of volunteers. Alger, Miles, Mc Klnley and all tho rest of the military ofTlclals of the government wanted that bill passed. Had It been passed, ex perienced and proficient offlcers would have had charge of our army; the clashlngs and Jealousies between guard officers, state officials and regular army men would have been obviated In great measure; our volunteers would not have needed to go to big and Ill-chosen camps of Instruction to catch typhoid fever or other diseases, and we should today have a compact and coherent army not clamoring to got back into civil life but ready to obey the order of command and fol low the flag wherever It needs soldiers In Its support. Just critics of the war administration must acquit It of re sponsibility for this grave mistake which congress made under compul sion from tho very class now loudest In complaint. Again, when war had actually been declared, It was not Alger nor the president who asked congressmen, sen ators, governors, Judges, men of every station In civil life amounting In the aggregate to hundreds of thousands, to besiege the white house and war department and Importune twenty-four hours to the day for the appointment of this or that favorite son, nephew or cousin to a position In the armv. It was not McKlnley or Alger who de feated the bill allowing the president to recall to active command all retired regular army officers and put them In charge of raw volunteers. It was not they who had refused In previous years to establish reserve depots of military equipment and supplies for readiness in an emergency or who had prevented uniformity In the organization of the National Guards of the various states. Indeed, tho further one probes into tho causes of the disorders of our lately Improvised yet nevertheless vic torious army the stronger becomes the wonder, not that there were mistakes and blunders nnd crimes In Its man agement, but that In contrast to Its unexampled achievements these havo been relatively so few. During tho Cuban revolution General Garcia was arrested at Baltimore and put under bonds not to filibuster. He forfeited ball, excusing the act on the plea of his country's necessity, but promised after the war to return and offer himself for trial, which he Is about to do. All is not bad In the character of such a man. Value of Street Refuse. An Investigation recently made by the agrlcultlral department at Wash ington into the subject of the utiliza tion of street sweepings ellcted some Interesting facts and conclusions. The investigation was conducted by chem ists who secured samples of street waste from many cities and analyzed these to find what, If any, value they possessed as fertilizers or otherwise. Naturally the character of tho samples varied greatly, being almost worthless when swept up from dirt or macadam ized roads but reaching considerable value when taken oft asphalt or block pavements. The experiments of the department In testing these samples for their fer tilizing value have not been completed, but using the conservative estimate of 10 cents per pound for the nitrogen, and disregarding the phosphoric acid and potash, the poorest sample ana lyzed would, It is reported, be worth 34 cents per ton, while the richest sam ple would be worth $1.46 per ton. Tho material, it Is explained, has consider able value for many soils In addition to the value of tho plant food It contains. Gardeners declare that It Is vcrv use ful for Improving the mechanical con dition of stiff and badly aerated soils. It would also Improve the condition of very light soils, which are deficient In moisture-holding capacity because of the low percentage of organic matter which they contain. On an estimate based on averages from 150 cities the department puts the annual collection of street refuse in the United States at 3,000,000 tons, which at 34 cents a ton would be worth $1,020,000; and at $1.46 per ton, $4,350,000. If only half of this waste were re claimed and put to its best use tho gain In course of years would bo con siderable. This is a subject which will bear further Investigation. President Harper of Chicago univer sity does not agree with Ptofessor Von Hoist of that Institution and other faint hearts who fear that expansion will further debauch American morals. Says he: "The objections that we have yet great problems at home which should be settled has no force. We are likely to solvo these problems sooner and with greater satisfaction If our Interest Is extended. The church never prospered In the best sense until missionary work was undertaken. Our country will bo all the stronger and more vigorous If Its lines are stretched out and Its sympathies thereby wid ened." We have Biblical precept for not hiding our national talents as did the steward In the parable who was scared. The Spanish colonial government, which seems to have been born at Ha vana since the war, threatens to In terfere with peace negotiations In Cuba. An expedition ought to be sent on the "Gussle" to look after the Span ish colonial government of Havana. No fair-minded man can blame David Martin for desiring to balance politi cal accounts with the men who have abused and misrepresented him as few men in public life have been pursued and persecuted. It Is to be said for Mr. Martin that In his political rela tions be is frank, truthful and abov- board; and his success in resisting at tacks establishes that he Is a political general of no mean ability. He will be an efficient member of the next Pennsylvania senate. Announcement is made by the presi dent of the North German Lloyd Steamship company that the eight now passenger vessels under construction for that lino will burn anthracite coal, and that Its vessels already In service wilt bo altered to burn anthracite also. As a reason for this decision he says that "the thousands upon thousands of people who annually cross the Atlantic generally seek the pleasure of the open decks In pleasant weather, but find their pleasure marred by the offensive fumes and dirt resulting from the use of soft coal," There Is no fuel com parable with anthracite when comfort Is a factor as well as cost. General Wood's treatment of General Garcia has produced results that show that It Is better to be courteous on all occasions. 'Even the poor Cuban In surgent Is liable to turn on the gen eral who assumes the airs of a railroad section boss. The White Squadron of America Is no more. Even the present dove-like appearance of our fleets will be merged into the funereal coat of black which the ships will all receive, and all be cause black paint Is cheaper than white. The chopping up of troublesome women and the throwing of them into mill ponds has now gone far enough. It la time for the homicidal Impulse to receive some kind of a rebuke. Inasmuch as Quartermaster Lee de nies the accusations of Generals San ger and Wiley and courts an investiga tion he ought to have It. Let the facts be revealed. Almost any candidate but Wharton Barker would be apt to get out of breath In running for office two years in advance of the campaign season. In the army Investigation Secretary Alger proposes to "hew to the line," no matter If his own dooryard Is covered with chips. There Is an additional motive for Agulnaldo not to get obstreperous; ho may want to lecture hete some day. Announcements of the death of the Chinese emperor probably mean that he Is dead to the world. The Major Parke affair will probably be a sort of test case. Growing Demand for Oar MantifocUires. THE Invasion of foreign markets by the manufacturers of the country continues to Increase. The figures, of tho treasury bureau of statis tics show that tho July exports ot manufactures were greater tluui In any July in the history of the country and formed a larger percentage of the toial exports than In any preceding year or month In Us history. The exports of man ufactures for the month wero t.5,9b3,'lb and formed 36.47 per cent, of the total ex ports. No July has ever shown such u record of exports of manufactures, and In no month or year have manufactures formed so largo a percentage of the to'.al exports. Compared with a decade ago the July exports of manufactures have doubled and the percentage which they form of the total exportation, has also nearly doubled. In July, lki,i, the total exports of manufactures were but 511. 559,606, or less than half those of July. l&Lh, whllo they formed but 26.27 per cent, ot the total exports, against 36.47 per cent. In July, 159S. o The gain which the manufacturing In terests are making In the proportion which they are obtaining of the total ex port trado Is strongly marked. In July, 1590, they supplied 24.S2 per cent, of tho total exports; In July, 1S9I, 28.16 per cent.; In July, 1693, 31.38 per cent.; In July, iv.6, 32.&0 per cent.; in July, 1S97, 33.78 per cent.; In July, 1898, 36.47 per cent. Kxports ct manufactures in July, 1897, wero double thoso of a decade earlier, yet July, iws, shows an Increase of more than 10 per cent, over July, 1S97. o Tho Increase In export manufactures extends to nearly all of tho important Industrial Interests of tho country. Kx ports of agricultural Implements in creased nearly 50 per cent. In July, isus, over July, 1S97. Great Britain bought from us nearly twice as much In this line In July of the present year as In July, 3897; Brhieh North America increased her pur chases in this line 50 per cent.; France doubled her purchases, as did also Ar gentina and tho other South American countries, whllo British Australasia in creased 50 per cent. Our exports of cars nu carnaces in juiy, 1S94. were moro than 33 per cent, greater than In July ot last year, the exports in this lino to Groat Britain being 50 per cent, greater than those of a year ago- while Africa nearly doubled her purchases of this class ol ar ticles, and Argentina Increased from $2,07) in July, 1897, to $245,w;i in July, laM, other South American countries also In creasing meir purchases largely. o Expoits of copper In July, 1HS, wero $3,267,946 In valuo as against $23,577 In July, 1S97, tho chief Increaso being to Franco, Germany, British North Amctlca and Mexico. Our cotton manufacturers made In July a much better record than In the earlier part of tbe calendar jcar. Their exports of cotton cloth In July, 1893, amounted to 37,474,071 yards, against :8,. 683,163 yards In July, 1897, To Great Brit ain exports of cotton cloth Increased nearly 20,000 yards, to other Kuropean countries 20,000 yards, to British North America 400,000 yaids, to South America 220,000 yards, to British East Indies, IW.wu yards, to Africa. 470,000 yards, and to China over 6,000,000 yards. The total ex portation of cotton goods for tho month was $2,203,032 In value, against $1,732,027 In July, 1897. o The exports of iron and steel show a re markable Increase, being for the mon'h of July, 1S93, $7,012,977, against $1,918,107 In July of last year. Great Britain In creased her corsumptlon tf our sewing machines nearly 50 per cent, na compared with July of last year; Mexico nearly doubled her orders on sewing machines; Brazil increased hers by 75 per cent, and the exports of this article to Africa were double In July, 189S, thoso or July, 1897, Bars and rods of steel other than wire increased from 2.726.3S3 pounds in July, 1897, to 4,522.961 pounds In July, 189S; wire Increased from 8,120,421 pounds In July, 1597, to 16,217,144 pounds in July. 1898; steel plates and sheets Increased from 725,511 pounds In July, 1837, to ,9o2. 574 pounds In July, 1898; locomotives In. creased from $167,968 In July, 1897, to $633,766 In July. 1898; cut nails, trom 5,533,. 212 pounds In July, 1697, to 7.3S3,2b2 pounds In July, 1S9S. and wire nails from 1,961, sn pounds In July, 1897, to 4,390,036 pounds in July, 1696. o The following table shows the tnui value of exports of manufactures In July of each year during the past decade, also the percentage which manufactures formed of tho total exports in each month mentioned: Exports of 'ercent. manufac- of total tures. exports.

From tho Honcsdalo Citizen. For a long time Mr. Wanamaker was a co-worker with Quay, practically a. part of the Quay machine, a contributor to Its resources, and In a striking manner Its beneficiary. In 15SS, when Quay was chairman of tho Republican national com mittee, Mr. Wanamaker raised trom his own means and among his friends the largest campaign fund ever collected by a single person, and placed It In Quay s hands. When, a few months afterward, Mr. Wanamaker was appointed postmas ter general, some of those who arc now patting him on the back. In his anti-Quay crusade, denounced tho appointment as having been purchased by tho contribu tion of a vast campaign corruption fund. No trace of opposition to tho Quay ma chine, on tho part of Mr. Wanamaker, is to bo found until tho senatorial ranvasa that resulted In the election of Penrose Instead ot Wanamaker to tho United States senate. Not even In the cam paign against Quay In ISO.", led by Cover nor Hastings, did Mr. Wanamaker lit t up his olce against tho Quay machine. But his own ox having been gored, Mr. Wanamaker has suddenlr becomo ver much alive to tho ell wrought by the Quay machine. And even as there Is Joy In heaven over one sinner that repentetn, a broad smllo overspreads the public countenance as Mr. Wanamaker, nr longer ablo to make It serve his own am bitious purposes, solemnly renounces the Quay machine and all Its works, come out from anions the machine managers with whom he nforetlme consorted, walkr no more In the counsel of the boss, and seeks the scalps of Senator Quay and Ills: friends by wav of vengeance and lruttf meet for repentance.
