COLONEL STONE'S PLATFORM.
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

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

Almost any candidate but Wharton
Barker would be apt to get out of

There Is an additional motive for
Agulnaldo not to get obstreperous; ho

Announcements of the death of the
Chinese emperor probably mean that

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

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

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

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

WANAMAKER'S CONVERSION.
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.
