It will bo my purpose when elected to so oomlucl mjself as to win the respect niul uuoil will of those who have opposed rue an well as thoMt who have given me their suppuil. 1 uhall be the governor of tlie whole pcepl - of the state. Abusrs liuvo undoubtedly grown up In the leg's laturu wlui h ,ire neither the fault ot one party nor tin oilier, but rather tho growth of custom. Uiuic-cessary Investi gations h.ue been authorized by commit tees, lesultlig In unnecessary expense to the state. It will be iiiv cnie and pur pose to ronei'i thesf and other evils In to far as 1 have the powci. It will be my purpose while governor of Pennsylvania, ns It has been m pm pose In the public positions thai 1 hint bold, with Clod's help, to dlFchatgr my whole duty. Tho people nic cieiter than the patties o which they belong 1 am only jealous ot their favor. 1 shall only attempt to win their approval and my experience has taught mo that that can best be done by nn honest, modest, dally discharge of public duty. Colonel Stone Is the equal of Colonel Tlooscvelt In ability, experience and personal lntcgrlt. Like Roosevelt he will bo a governor for the whole peo ple nnd will be bossed by none. Tor tho Honor of the Nation. Congressman Hull, of Iowa, chairman of the executive committee of the Re publican congressional committee offers sound and timely advice when he says: "The people should put patriotism over partisanship at the present time. The attacks upon the administration of the War department are chiefly of Demo cratic origin nnd Incentive. Voters should remember that this Is not the time nor the Oceanian for casting their ballots In a fault-tlndlng manner. Un der ordinary iltcumstanci's the people can well afford to show their spites and resentments in what we call an off year. Rut the- Intelligent voters should at present leave to their representa tives in congress the work of righting alleged wrongs. If the people should now elect a Democratic majority that would discredit their own government In the eyes of the civilized world. They would sav to the countries of Europe that they repudiate the policy of ex pansion. They would cripple our Peace commissioners in Paris. They would encourage liermany and France to sus tain Spain in the matter of the Philip pine Islands by saying that a majority of the people of America repudiate tho purpose of the government to permnn- I1U IKIHSl'hS UOJ1I WtlS WOO IV Omi-tl and his men behind the guns. The peo- I ole who have eonll.lenee In P,-emt ! Mclnlev. no matter t,. what M,.v th.J belong, should vote to sustain the ad ministration." This, In brief. Is the great Issue of the campaign. It Is no mere politicians' bugaboo but an actual fact that un less the admlnistiatlon is sustained by 'he eltclion "f a Republican congress Spain's hand will be strengthened at Paris and American prestige through out the world will receive a severe shock. If at the very outset of nur ex periment In the trusteeship over col- mini watds nut under our care by a war for humanity wo display Incon stancy of purpose and undeserved dis trust of our administrators, what can the world think but that we are a people of empty bombast and vain pre tence'.' So far as popular dissatisfaction goes with the management of the war do parlinent, a competent tribunal Is now at work gathering nil the facts and no man who has evidence to nresent will be refused a heating. It would certainly be most unjust to President JIcKlnley, after he has done everything that anv human could do to secuie a thorough investigation of complulnts. touching this pi Int. to repay his superior states manship as exhibited during the most tIKIlcult and trying presidency since tin nine of Lincoln bv electing a congress to havaPH and annoy him and to nld Spain and our other enemies at home and abroad In their resistance to the American terms of peace. Think of It" Just Imagine n congress dominated by Ralley of Texas, James Hamilton Lewis, of Oregon and rip snorters like Jerry Simpson, ot Kansas and Lenz of Ohio tt-ying to solve the great prob urns treated uy h war, and wasting the people's time, nuney and patience In Interminable partisan wind-Jamming solely for the benefit of the gal leries! Every Spanlaid In Spain would roar with laughter nnd applause. Theie Is Just one course for patriotic American citizens to do Ht this time. Jt Is to stand by the administration ns firmly at tho polls as the boys In blue stand by It In Torto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. With a foreign enemy yet unconquered and gathering Inso lenco from each new sign of American party division, awny with small par tisan or factional splto work and In its plnco but undivided patriotism. It is suggested (hat Sagn3tn'n ulti mate purpose Is to exact pay for tho Philippines. Ho doubtless recalls that in ISIS, when our soldiers held tho cap italof Mexico and we could havo an nexed tho wholo Mexican confederation by right of conquest, wo took only a small sllco nnd then paid for It. Huthcr than appear hoggish It Is possible that our commissioners at "Purls will con sent to give Spain a monetary consid eration with a view to erasing gome ot her animosity; but It la more than sh has any moral right tu expect, much less demand. llnrper's Weekly regretfully predicts that Quay will win and explains It by showing that the feather headed oppo sition lacks both political skill and public confidence. Tho AVeekly's re gret will not bo largely shared among genuine Pennsylvania Hepubllcans.who Know that Quay, with all his faults, is tho most Itilluential and successful senator that the commonwealth lias ever had. A Significant Deliverance. This plank In the New York rtopub llcan platform was written by Hon, Stewart L. Woodford, onu day after ho had resigned ns minister to Spain; approved by the leaders of the party both at Saratoga and, there Is reason to believe, nt Washington; and then adopted unanimously as tho Republi can creed of the most Influential state In the Union: Wo hi.ve abiding coiilideiice that the president will conclude a peaeo upon term.! that will satlsfi the conscience, tho Judgment, and the high purpose ot tho -American people, we realize tnai when the necessities of war compelled our nation to destroy Spanish authority In the Antilles and In tho Philippines, we assumed solemn duties anil obligations, alike to the people ot the islands wo con quered and to tho civilized world. We cannot turn these Islands back to Spain. We cannot leave them, unarmed tor de fense and untried In statecraft, to the honors of domestic strlte, or to parti tion among European powers. We have assumed the responsibilities of victory, and wherever our flag has gone there the liberty, the humanity, and the civilization which that Hag embodies at.d represents must remain and obido forever. This resolution Is capable of two con structions, one of which Is hardly ten able. The untenable construction Is that we can give these Islands or some of them over to n tingle European power, Spain excepted, upon condition that that power will safeguard liberty, humanity and civilization according to the American standaid. Wo cannot thus, relinquish Culm because we are pledged against It. We cannot consist ently give away nor are we likely to sell Porto Rico, because Its Inhabitants want our rule and moreover we need It for its productive and strategic value. There Is but one European power which could take the Philippines off our hands and give to them satis factory government, nnd that power England doesn't want them nor is It likely If she did that we could make the transfer without Involving both ourselves and England In a war. The other construction is that wo shall administer tho affairs of these Islands until the Inhabitants thereof are able to go alone. In the case of Cuba this may be within a few years; In the case of the other Islands It may be many years hence, possibly never. Rut In any event the responsibility for the present is upon the American gov ernment and people and they must rise to meet it manfully and without shirk ing. If tho morals of the city of Scranton should be Judged by the operations ot the Rellevue "dead line" gang, our good citizens would doubtless be Indig nant. Yet this seems to be about the way opinions of the Philippine Insur gents have been formed. From the Filipinos' Standpoint. b'pon reaching Washington Felipe Agonclllo, the envoy of Agulnaldo, made a statement ot the purposes of the Philippine insurgents, which, for candor, moderation and the ability shown In the arguments presented de- serves to be attentively considered. plaining Urst that his purpose in mlnR to the United States was to sctu,, Permission from President Mc I KInley to lay before the Paris com mission, olllelally or unolllclally, It mat tered little which, the views and tho claims of the Inhabitants of the Islands whose destinies that commission Is to decide, ho next drew n clever compari son between the Cubans and the Filipi nos as equal victims of Spanish op ptesslon, saying on this point: I am afraid that many Americans have formed an trroueoiis Idea ot the Philip pine Islands and their people. Prior to the oulbieuk of the Spanish-American war the American people knew lltt e or nothing of us or our Islands, despite the fact that our territon Is larger than many of your states combined, and tew Americans havo ever paid us a visit You were led to believe that wo wee a sav ago or barbarous race, halt clvUUed, but with tho hi rival of your army and your navy a new Impression must have been formed by thtse who have had an oppor tunity to acquaint themselves with us. We have nine millions of peopio on our Islands, and all ot them true and pat riotic to the cause ot their country and desirous tor Independence. you havo heard little of us, and tho American pco pie know nothing of our struggles and trials which we have endured under tho rule of Spain, and our many erforts. lu tlle and unsuccessful, to throw otf the Balling yoke of that country, whoso colo nial government has been the worst, the most heartless, cruel and unsympathetic of any In tho history of the world, iou Americans know of Cuba, for that un happy Islund is at your very doois; there have been many of jour people who have visited the Island und seen nnd heard the stotles of tho unhappy lot of the Cubans under Spanish tule, Cubans have como to this country and told you or their suf ferings, but the Filipinos havo never be fore been heard. Do not mistake me In what 1 say, I am a friend and havo been a sympathizer with Cuba from tho first, nnd 1 do not wish to belittle tho struggle of her people for Independence, but they have not been alone. We are off In a corner of the world, where clvlllzutlon, progress ana advancement have In a large measure lingered, nnd 'the chief reason why the Filipinos havo n-udo no great progress ,s the. fact that wo have always been sub. Jocted to Spanish rule. Yet we uro a civi lized people, and anxious to advance, With an opportunity afforded us by In dependence, we can In a few years reach the standaid which has been uttalned by Japan since she opened her ports, und be gan to transuct business with tho world, Our trado has almost entirely been with Spain, which, being backward, has maUo us more so. Spain has always trom the very beginning of her history been n country of oppression, not only to her possessions, but to her own pcoplo, and tho people of th Philippines havo sur fercd and endured for years what Cuba hns suffered and endured, and ynt tho outside world has heard little of our troubles until now. Senor Agonclllo asserts that In every dealing with tho Americans Aqulnaldo linn been open, honest nnd crutcful; that tho Insurgents under him have obeyed the rules of civilized warfare, nnd he refers for confirmation to tho official reports of both Admiral Dewey and tho American military officers at Manila. Then he comes directly to tho point In these words: We first of all deslto absolute inde pendence. If the United States Is unwill ing to accord us that from the (list, thou tho next Uhlng which would meet wltn favor by our people would bo the estab lishment of a prcittetoroto by the United States, and third to becomo a colonial pos session of this country. One thing is certain and that Is that tho United Utatcs cannot Justly ask us to lay down our arms and nccept any terms ol peaeo un til we aro absolutely assured by America that our Islands will never bo given back to the control ot Spain, and wilt never more be a colonial possession of that country which Iihb through long ages op pressed and misruled us. That point guaranteed to us, we will willingly lay down our arms, and accept what the American government believes In Justice and right wo should bo nccorded. Should nil of these threo propositions which 1 havo named fall, we would prerer to be come a possession or Urent UriUln It not of the United States. We wont to bo come associated and connected even If we have our Independence with a nation of progress and advancement. Wo have Im plicit conlldcnce that we will bo awarded our rights and Just deserts at the hands of the American people, and In fact our fate Is In their hands, but should they finally decreo that we must revert to iho rule of Spain, we will continue our strug gle, as Cuba has done, to the death, and until every Philippine has been extermin ated by tho ravages or war. Never wilt wo return to the rule of Spain; we preler annihilation first." In every particular save one we con sider that this presentation of tho Filipino point of view is accurate, truthful nnd worthy of profound Amer ican sympathy nnd icspoct. It Is not clear that Senor Agonclllo Is corrobor ated by facta when he asserts that tho leadership of Agulnaldo Is representa tive of tho whole population of the Philippine archipelago; there Is good authority for contradicting this asser tion. Concerning this point tho presi dent nnd the American peace commis sioners must be guided rather by Dew ey, Merrltt and other unbiassed Ameri can witnesses than by Agulnaldo or any of his personal supporters. Yet It Is a mutter which does not affect tho main question before tho Paris commission. That, question Is whether Spain shall or shall not retain sovereignty over tho Philippines. Senor Agonclllo'a statement as to Spanish oppression, supported as It Is by the uniform tes timony of all other witnesses, uffords decisive reasons why Spain, In nny event, should get out. That much decided and wo take it that the administration has already reached this conclusion the matter of providing a substitute government will arise. On this point Senor Agoncillo's declaration that tho Filipinos will willingly lay down their arms and ac cept what the American government believes in justice and right they bhould be accorded Is most satisfactory. It shows that the Intelligent clement of the native population of the Philip pine archipelago merits the humane nld which this country has gone to great expense nnd trouble to bestow". General Wheeler has telegraphed to Colonel Roosevelt: "I told you so." He refers to a prediction made while coming from Cuba that Roosevelt would bo nominated for governor and afterward for president Tho latter half of the general's prediction remains to be vcilfied; but it would occasion little surprise If Rix years hence Roose velt should resume his residence In Washington. ' Professor Proctor asserts that 100, 000,000 people lived nnd died In America before Columbus discovered the coun try. As the public Is too busy with the army Investigation the pence com mission, nnd the new Scranton bicycle ordinance to look the matter up, the professor will no doubt bo allowed to have his own way in this mutter. Tammany's nomination of Brother Van Wyck for governor Is probably meant as, n gentle hint to Mavor Van Wyck's expert ballot crooks to do their duty. In that light it is shrewd poll tics of a low grade, but this Is not going to be Cioker's year. The Democrats are at odds on a for eign policy as they have no leader that they can trust to handle tho ticklish question. From present appearances the hosts of Democracy will bo obliged to rally again this season to the cry of general calamity and 16 to 1. Scandal pcddllntj never yet helped the cause it aimed, to help or seriously hurt Its would-be victim. Swallow and allies will npprcclate this fact on tho night of Nov. 8. Tho last Democratic national plat form seems to be one that a majority of eastern Democrats aro most anxious to forget. Mere abuse in politics Is a thin re source. If It is all Wanamaker and Swallow have to go on, they won't go far. Tho sketch artists thus far seem to have been the only ones to Inflict real punishment on Candidate Roosevelt. Wharton Barker's friends occasion ally arise to remark that he is still running. There aro no Wannmakers In the Republican party In New York. FOR CONGRESS. From the Olyphaut Record. Tho Democrats of the Eleventh con ErcTirnnl district have ot length aecurid a man tu tun for congress. It was a difficult task to secure u man to run, uiu the reason was because or the standing of tho Repuhllcun nomlr.ee. The Democrat!) find no objection with Hon. William Cou ncil, and the rank and fllo of that puitv would willing rest In punre If tho leudeis had not nominated a candidate. Tho Democratic nominee Is a gentleman ot many excellent qualities, but so Is Mr. Connell, and to his many good Quali ties is added, that he Is a iiun tested and tried and not found wanting, Ho is a gentleman pretty well known In tho high er chcies ot political Influence by this time, nnd If Lackawanna county hopes to sccuro a bearing at Washington, it can only do so thiough a representative who has Influence, experlenro nnd power, nnd such a man la Hon. William ' Council, the present Incumbent. For theso rea sons, tho electors of tho Eleventh con gressional dlstilct aro going to return Mr. Connell next November. lie I as proved himself worthy of thn iiUlt of fice ho holds, and tho po.-.plo will pay him tho compliment of giving him unnthor term as a nuuk of their contldenco In his ptnctlcal Judgment and skill, flou) Other Nations Manage Colonies. SO MUCH Interest Is felt In tho col onial opcrlcnccs of other coun tiles, nnd especially when they relate to oxpottmentt, in tropical regions, that tho following repot t on tho Ucrmun colonies In Airlca by tho secretary or the Urltlsli embassy r.t Jletilti, which lias Just been received l.y tho treasury bureau of statistics, Is es pecially timely. The German colonics in Africa are located trom three to twclvo degrees north and south from the equator, the climatic ccndltons nnd products thus being sufficiently similar to those of Porto Rico, Cuba, Hawaii and the Philippine to lend especial Interest to experiments now In progress ur.der the direction of the German government as detailed In the report, as follows: o "The number ot resident Europeans In Ucrmun Africa In January, W7, was U.'Jl'J, ot whom 2.1S2 were Germans. The mili tary force consisted of 962 German offi cers and men, and nbout -,0JJ colored sol diers, besides the police lorce. The area of tho German possessions In Aluca Is given as S20.6IS square miles. Tho ex petiso to the home government was esti mated for l$0S-Dr at ISl.uw pounds sterling, nnd 17,000 pounds sterling deficit, carried over from 18M-96. This is an lncrcaso ot XjO.iHK) pounds sterling over the state sub sidy granted last year. East Africa re ceives 26,009 pounds sterling less, and Southwest Africa 10,000 pounds sterling more than In the last colonial budget, mainly owing to the grants tor the Swn kop rnllway, the Improvement of Swa-top harbor nnd the Increased expense of tho armed force. o "It will bo seen from a comparison of the nrca and the European population thut as yet the colonics arc, llko those ot ull other tuitions, In the same latitudes, plantation and not settlement colonics. In tills respect the year 1W7 Is or good augury for the future of tho colonics. From every quarter comes evidence or the remarkable progress ot the planta tions In Tosoland, tho Cameioons and East Africa. In Fust Africa there are at present 23 plantations, with a capital ol 700,000 pounds sterling. In the Camoioons there aru 10 and In Togoland six planta tions. The success of these undertak ings, which, Judging by tho Irequeut foundation of new companies, appears to bo assured, Is duo chlelly to the govern ment experimental gardens which ate conducted by trained officials under In structions from the centrul botanical sta. tion in Uetiin. Fiom tlicso stations seed lings ore supplied to European planters and to native chiefs. There is every rea son to suppose that tho products of tho colonies, especially coffee, cocoanuts and cacao, and also possibly Indian rubber, will rapidly Increase. o "As to another and more Important slile to tho colonial question tho possibility of establishing settlements of German farmers tho answer Is not as yet so de cisively In tho affirmative. It appea-s proved that In one district of East Atrlc.i West Utsambara some iJOO or 4W Kuto pcan families could support themselve.l by farming, In a healthy and temperate climate, and under conditions not unlike thoso existing In Germany. In addition to this district there Is a large territory, Phehe, in East Africa, northeast ot Lako Nyussa, where, in the opinion ot the gov ernor. It will bo possible to establish largo agricultural settlements of European farmers. In Southwest Africa the soutli em district Is exltemely dry: but water storage has been tried with success, and whero facilities exist for constructing dams, there Is little doubt that thete, r.s In Western Canada, It will bo found proltt. ablo to grow wheat, or ot any rate past ure. In the central district a company Is In formation with the object of estab lishing a considerable colony of German farmers round an artificial lake. Tho government Is paying great attention to tho land question, and it is evident that confidence Is felt that at least some agri cultural colonies will be established be fore long. More than 100 European farm ers arc already settled in the colony. The great wain Is of European women, as is always the case In similar stages of colon ial development. The climate cannot bo considered as hopeless from tho agricul tural point of view the rainfall of Wind hoek last year having been over twenty Inches. It is, however, subject to great variations. o "Tho relations of the governments with the natives have been on tho whole good. Two difficult campaigns, ono In the south west of East Africa, tho other In tho north of Southwest Africa, were success fully concluded. The labor question ap pears to be solved In East Africa, where tribes have been found willing und ablo to work. The same may be said of tho Cameroons, but In Togoland It appears that tho demand Is not fully met. Tho government has Issued severe restrictions on the employment ot labor with a view to protect the natives from abuses. In tho Cameroons it has steadily set Its face against forced labor, and it appears with success as tho natives now beem to como In for employment of their own accord. o "Tho statistics of trade In the African colonies aro as follows: Total imports. 1,111,000 pounds sterling: total exports, 47,718 pounds sterling. Of this 42 per cent. Is with German). Great Britain and her possessions have a largo share In the trade of tho German colonies. Almost all of the exports of Southwest Africa went to England, and a quarter ot tho Imports camo from lirltlsh territory. Nearly halt the goods imported Into East Africa came from India, am' tho greater patt of the exports went to Zanzibar for trans-shipment. It will bo seen by an examination of the llgures that tho German colonies aro still In tho condition of an Investment which Is not yet paying full interest. This Is duo to the largo sums now being expended on tho plantations In which the trees have not yet begun to bear. It will be necessary to wait some years before a hnal judgment Is possible as to tho suc cess of the experiment, o "From tho general point of view, per haps tho most Important tact recorded In this report Is the examination by Dr. Koch Into tho nature or tropical malaria. It is malaria and not tho heat which makes Africa so dangerous a place ot residence, and so hard for Europeans to develop. But from Dr. Koch's report (which Dr. Ross' Investigations appear to corroborate), It would seem that there Is a fair prospect or discovering some means of procuring permanent immunity. It would appear that by tho simple ex pedient of using mosquito nets a Euro pean traveler could be salely passed through tho dangerous fever belt till ho reached tho highlands, whero fever can not be acquired, although it may and does frequently recur. This fact would bo of ImmensB Importance In the coloniz ation question. Another Important ob servation, If confirmed, Is that blafck wa ter is simply due to. qulnlno poisoning, and that quinine should only be adminis tered at certain stages of malarial fever, to bo determined by tho temperature," AN EFFECTIVE APPEAL. From the Now York Sun. Tho Republican party In this campaign will appeal to the common sense of the people, as it appealed two years ugo, and Its appeal will bo the more convincing because it will also represent the nations I nsptratlon nnd the national foresight that would Improve tho splendid and manifold opportunities to extend and mognlty our trade nnd commerce and our national power and correquenco which complete end glorious victory In war has brought to us.
