It will he my purpose when elected to eh .'omluct myself ns to win tho respect nml yood will of those who havo opposed no as well as thco who have given mo their biippi.rt. 1 Misill ho tho uuvcrnor of the whole peopls of tho state. Abuses havo undoiihtcdly grown up In the legis lature wlili h .110 neither the fault ol one party nor tho other, but rather tho ixrowth of custrm. Unnecessary Investi gations have been authorized by commit tees, resultli s In unnecessary expeiibo to the Male. It will he niv care and pur Je to correct these and other evils In so far ns I hat the power. It will be my purpose while genu nor of Pennsylvania, ns It has been my purpose In the public positions that I have held, with God's help, to dlsrhaifio my whole duty. The people arc Greater than the parties o which thy belrnp. I am only Jealous of their favor, I shrill only attempt to win their approval and my experience has taught me that that can beat bo done by an honst. modest, dally dlhchuiso of public duty. Persecution usually has boomerang attachments:. The prompt readiness of Senator Quay to meet nil the changes trumped up nfjalnht him Is about the last thlnp; desired by those who have adopted these desperate means to as sail his honor. As a result of this last attempt his enemies a greater re action than has ever been known In this state Is ceitaln to turn In his favor. Kindergarten Work. "With the reopening of work In our public schools arises a new Interest and a new source of pride to the city ot Frranton in that for the first time she boasted a public klnderparten. Ruptcrlntcndent Howell, in his re port recently published, says: "The old theory that any novice can teach children has been relegated, sent Into exile. Only teachers with special train ing In kindergarten work and a high school education back of It shall be employed." This has been the position of tho Free Kindergarten association In the prist 'and stilct adherence to it hereafter will certainly Insure a high grade of work In the public kindergar tens to be established in our city with in the next year or two. In view of the probable appropria tion ol $10,w00 next year for public kindergartens and the consequent de mand for thoroughly equipped teach ers there should be at least twenty ap plicants for admission to the training class this fall. Moreover, the training is invaluable to all women whether they continue In the profession or not. Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggins says that "under its Influence thoughtlessness and frivolity llp off like an outer gar ment and tho true woman stands re vealed, bright, earnest, tender, strong, not perfect, but longing to be and try ing to be a woman who has lled with children, beloved because she has loved, getting because she has given, growing because she has lived, devel oping because she has thought, happy because she 1ms conferred happiness, good, or at least better, through try ing to make others better." Young Henry George, who declined the nomination for governor of New York the other day, states that he Is not In politics. Judge Van Wyck does not seem to realize yet that he Is in the same condition. Steel Kails for England. One of the most encouraging indi cations of the advance of American Industries is tho shipment of rails to Europe. It Is not many years ago. says the Pittsburg Times, that tho shipment of rails across the Atlantic pursued the one direction westward. It Is not so long ago that the move ments of iron were westward. But within two or three years American furnaces have been disposing of con siderable of their product under tho shadows of the furnaces of Great Brit ain, until lately the foremost maker of iron and steel in tho world. While American pig had been going Into Eng and. the announcement of the sale of a considerable stock of rails to an Eng lish railroad by a Pittsburg manufac turer is a climax that is most gratify ing. There is no sentiment in the purchase of American rails by an English rail road. The Englishman is conservative to the extreme. He hesitates long be fore confessing that anything Is so good as the English make, and he has long professed doubt of the ability ot tho American. But gradually the day has been approaching, and at last tho manufactured rail is laid down In Eng land by the American mill. Other manufactured forms of Iron and steel, as In machinery, in which the labor cost was of much more Importance than the tons of material, have invaded Great Britain from the United States in considerable quantities. But the steel rail is rather a crude article, be ing steel in the mass, almost as simple in form as In the bloom. In Bessemer rpJIs there is not much chance to slm- pllfy cither coat of production of ma terial or manufacture. Nevertheless the American methods have brought about such economies that the Ameri can rail can bo carried across the Bea to enter n mnrkct rmce regarded as Im possible to us. The turn of the tide linn come, and who can ay what of the futuieV This Is Ffiinsylvanla Day at tho Omnlia Exposition nnd no doubt u. good Impression of tho Keystonto state will be created by our talented delegation, headed by the well known orator and Journalist, Postmaster General Cntirlea Emory Smith. MiUunl iuteicst and good feeling between the states nro to be desired at all times utid the fruits of friendship established by exchange of courtesies upon occasions like that of today will be lusting. Extemporaneous 1'renchlnjr. Rlshop Potter's diatribe ngulnst the preaching of extemporaneous pennons will come ns a shock to many church goers who have more or less gradually acquired a contempt for tho clergy man who speaks from notes. In many churches distinctive for their conser vatism, the ministers' sermons are now apparently delivered extemporaneously, although from long custom tho con trary has been the case. Tho fact Is that a wide difference exists between extemporaneous preaching nnd that uttered merely without notes. A min ister may have bo thoroughly prepared his subject that In no sense can his ser mon be called extemporaneous. As a rule the real extemporaneous ad dress deserves all that Bishop Potter or anybody else can say against It. The preacher who gets up In the pulpit trusting to the Inspiration of the hour nnd the audience to supply the absence of previous thought Is seldom worth the space ho occupies. It Is only after yeais of deepest culture and wide expei ience, years of continuous study and practice that a man Is actually ready to stand before a congregation and give an extemporaneous message fit to be treasured In memory or even heard. John Wanamaker confides to the public that the analysis and dissection of th political machine grow more Interesting and fascinating each day. So pleased that ho can thus harm lessly amuse'hlmself. Spanish Politeness. Patience should cease with tho pro crastinating stumbling block methods of tho Spaniards In Havana. There seems o be no doubt of tho existence of great suffering in that city, and stronger nnd more ficquently comes tno evidence that every possible hind rance Is placed In the way of the American officials who would relieve the distressed condition of the people. Just why some decided step Is not tak en to give tho commissioners more au thoritative Influence In these matters seems to be unexplained. The Spanish are simply employing their old tactics, and If our victory is worth anything It should be good for the purpose u hlch apparently actuated our original Interference In Cuban affairs, that of alleviating the misery of tho oppressed. While people are starving In the streets of Havana a ship loaded with supplies has been refused entrance to the liar bor by the Spanish authorities, who, It is claimed, "are very polite to the American commissioners." Politeness is not very nourishing to the poor wretches who are dying of hunger. General Shatter, in nn Interview In New York the other day, said that ho had no explanations to make regard ing the Santiago case. So long as his superiors found no fault, the general Intimated that the public might follow the advice of the late Vanderbllt. Plain Facts. The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette says: "In tho present crossing of streams it Is no time for swapping horses. The Republican majority In tho lower house of concress should be not only maintained bu Increased, and there should be majorities secured in enough legislatures to make the next senate safely Republican. The apathy usual to an off year should not cause a single Republican to refrain from taking as much Interest In this fall's campaign as If it were a presidential year. The opposition Is not only en deavoring to obtain state offices under fr.Ise pretenses, but under the cloaks It s employing in Its endeavors to do so Is also seeking to stab the national administration. The way to meet these endeavors is to vote the straight Re publican ticket and to make the Re publican majorities record-breaking ones for an off year." This Is sound advice, and the Repub lican who does not follow It Is a poor apology for a representative of the party. Buffalo Is not universally recognized as a great religious center, but It has one man whose habit It has been to pray considerably on Sunday. In his devotions the other night It occurred to him that ho would be more comfort able If he had a cushion to kneel up on. So after prowling around in the dark after the manner of masculinity he. found what seemed to be a sofa pillow and proceeded to use It ns a prayer rug. It proved to be a discarded pln cuslon and the unfortunate devotee knelt directly upon a hat pin which penetrated far Into his knee. A surgi cal operation was necessary for its ex traction, during which it Is rumored that the victim said a large number of things which are not In the Book of Common Prayer. A Pittsburg pastor declared on Sun day that women will wear most of the heavenly diadems. It will be Just like tho new woman to grab all the halos It only to keep them away from the poor men. Judge Van Wyck would have dis played better Judgment if ho had at tached a stout cord to that resignation from the bench the other day, Kmperor William's pilgrimage to the Holy Land will probably take in the Philippine Islands. I'h. ir,,l,lla 41n n. ,,!....,. ..,. ...wk.,.w v"' "i'"i . "We are threatened with a contest fori the title of 'Daughter of the Confed eracy.' Miss Lucy Lee Hill, of Chicago, daughter of the late General A. P. Hill, say the ofllce has been conferred upon her by her 'friends in tho South.' and that she has accepted It. Hut thero are others. We move that the office be abolished before this sort of thing gets beyond control. The Confederacy has no special need of a daughter." This Is a Hcntlmont with which mor.t sen sible people will agree. Oneida county. N. T., Republicans havo struck a happy scheme. They give n big and toothsome lunch to a throng men always will go where there is n feed and then invite their guests to stay and hear the speeches. Of course they havo their audience nil right. It Is something after the me thod pursued by the Sunday Ureak fast association, which gives a meal that is to be paid for by the partakers by tho subsequent temulnlng for prayers. Harrlsburglsnot anything It not thor ough in some things it undertakes. A violent effort Is being made this week to save the city through the medium of the Christian Endeavor convention. Certain local arrangements may be very good for Harrlsburg, but must be rather depressing to the Endeavor ers. Among the places in which spec ial noon day evangelistic services are held Is the business house of the Ilar rlsburg Uurlal Case company. Spanish peace commissioners Inti mate that they will resist to the "verge of re-openlng of hostilities," all schemes to give America anything but n coaling station In the Philippines. It is believed, however, that the repre sentatives of the United Sto,tes at Paris will not tolerate much of the diplomatic hanky-panky that charac terized tho negotiations at Madrid prior to tho war. Colonel Roosevelt doesn't propose to say the same thing twico In all his speeches. That Is a brave resolution of Teddy's, but It promises to be very wearing. However. If he will deviate from tho accepted Idea of political campaign speeches and simply tell stories about his last campaign with the Rough Riders he will capture tho votes of New York state all right. "There was an unusually large trus tee meeting last night at our church," remarked a certain pastor yesterday, "and on the night of the prize fight, too." "Rut," he added meditatively, "I notice by the morning papers that the fight didn't come off until ten o'clock. A long distance telephone should havo been supplied from the seat of war to enable Colonel Bryan to occa sionally speak a word for free silver. If Colonel Bryan Is not mustered out soon the silver Issue will be forgotten by the Democracy outside of Editor Lynett's district. It looks as though the last mine of the enemies of Republicanism In Penn sylvania had been exploded too soon In tho campaign. The officer who did very effec tive work during the recent war ap pears to have been General Stupidity. Many men have punctured their tires by reckless riding on the road to fame. Jack Frost may be awaiting the ac tion of the refrigerator combine. OBANJE BOVEN. Said the Sea to the Dutchman, "Ho, make way! For the march of the Flood is mine. Shall the bar of thli:e arm my coursers stay In the charge of my whelming brlnov To the Sea bald tho Dutchman, "Ho, stand back! I bide for the dole and fee.

"A bound In tho Dyke, and a mete In the Dune, And a stay In tho stout Sea-wall. In tho swing of my spade Is the eagle's rune, Tho' tho Norland ravens squall. And tho slit shall flow and tho clod shall grow, Frcm Zeeland to Zuyder Zee; And a man shall a freeman's footnold know. Where the aim of a man Is free; For tho lord of the Dutchman's land, tho lord or the Dutchman s love shall be. "Flambeau and falchion, shackle and rack, In tho lust of a 'Holy' hate No glut of carnage, rapine and sack, Nor a Thousand Fears can sate. No tear for ruth, and no shudder ror , shan-e, No Christ for tho brand and pike; Only the race of the 'Beggar's' claim, And the roar of tho cloven dyke; Only the arm of the Lord upheaved, and tho sword of the Lord to strike. ' Said the Sea, "O, Nedcrlnndl Alone, You battle against the stars, For Drill's hoarse cry and Alkamaar's groan I storm at your stubborn bars. In Helllgcr Lee your Rachels weep In Leyden your children die; Death unto Life, Deep unto Deep! And my tides leap at the cry. Set wide your gates to my hosts, and sound your pealing trumpets high!" "Oranje Boven!" Fate is mute, And the Silent soul Is lord. "Oranje Boven!" Trump and lute Wult on the grim, dumb sword. When the brand is cold, and tho blade Is rust, And the gyve and the rack are shows, When the bones of the Bravo enrich tho dust Where a Leydon garden grows, Then the organ swell ot the Sea snail tell how Nederland uprose.

Prom the Commercial-Advertiser. 1 f AWAH Is not receiving the atten U tlon that Is Its due. We do not mi hear of louuiMiln excursions thither nor are tho papers full of udvertlsementa of Hawaiian win ter csorts. Even the promoter has not caught hold ot Hawaii, and Hawaiian Im provement nnd exploitation companies are not heralded In the advertising col umns of tho press. Rut Hawaii orters fields for adventurous Amerlcunit. It of fers a chance for disciples of Ilury George to exploit thctr thcotles. There Is no placo In tho country where tho single tux propaganda would bo likely to ynlu so many adherents. Tho single tax party selected Delaware ns their promised land romo time ago. They publish their offi cial oigan there, Bnd thero they concen trate their speakers nnd agitators. Thero weru not so many people there as in New Ymk, but It seemed to take Just as long to make any Impression on them. The single-tax philanthropists were poor, and they adopted tho Salvation Army methods of preaching on tho street cor ners nnd In public parks. This made them obnoxious to the law, which forbids publlo meetings In the streets without li censes from tho municipal authorities. They suffered Imprisonment heroically as martyrs, but their mnrtyrdom was not the seed of a slncle-tax Delaware. At last accounts they had never carried a stnglo Delaware township. o Dut Hawaii offers slnIe-lax agitators a most promising field, Tho Island of Oahu, on which Honolulu stands, Is all owned, says a Honolulu paper, by tho great sugar planters. The same authority relates that an American citizen with a family, who has a small capital, Is now In Honolulu desiring to obtain land for agrl. culture, and flnd3 to his astonishment no available land Is for sale except at fabulous prices. Now settlers can ob tain sugar plantation land, but only on a leasehold Interest. In other words, says tho Honolulu Gazette, "he must pass di rectly or Indirectly under corporate rule." The Gazette npprehendt. social trouble from thla land monopoly and pre dicts that popular dissatisfaction will end In tumult, Hko the anti-rent riots uh der the old patroon system In New York state, or In radical legislation like that brought about by tho antl-loasehold quar. rels In Australia. o This is encouragement for slnulE t.w. If tho anti-rent agitators of patroon days had been ablo to read Mr. George's book they would havo made far more sweeping work without doubt. Perhaps they would havo secured legislation Introducing tho single-tax system In all Its symmetry and completeness. Inhabitants and settlers In Hawaii who do not like the monopoly of the Island by close corporations arc not so unenlightened. They have read Henry George, or they have had a chanco to read him if they wanted to. Hawaii will havo a territorial legislature before long without doubt, and land owners will have no more representation I It than others. Hero Is a chanco for single taxers to make a campaign for their Ideas with a grievance made to their hand. And they will find no spot In all tho United States whero the people would bo so willing to havo single tax put to practical test as Hawaii. Let them mlgiato thither in a body, nnd tho rest of the country will bear the departure with fortitude and await their cturn with patience. THE AMERICAN WAY. From the Inter-Ocean. The city of Santiago Is one of tho old est in America. It was rounded In 1511 and was Incorporated as a city In I52J. it was under Spanish control and manage ment for over 370 years. It was as well built as any of the cltlc3 In Latin Amer. lea and was of enough importanco from a commercial and military htandpolnt to receive special attention from tho Span ish government, Llttlo or no attention, however, was glen to tho sanitation of tho city. Tho Spanish authorities seemed to have assumed that because Santiago was surrounded by mountains It was necessarily unhealthy, and up to JS.70 no attempt was made to Improve the streets or drains. The Improvements Inaugu rated then did not reach tho central evil. When the American army occupied Santiago In July last, army officers, mem bers of tho Red Cross corps, and corres pondents pronounced tho city filthy be yond any city In Europe or America that they had visited. In some streets accu mulations of refuse of twenty and thirty years' standing wero found. No effort, apparently, had ever been made to clean the section used for tho markets. A few weeks after the occupation. Colonel Leonard Wood, of the rough riders, ii physician who had given much attention to sanitary measures, was appointed gov ernor. Ho began at onco the work ot cleaning tho city. In two months he ac compllshed more than the Spaniards had done In COO years. For the first time tn Its history, Santiago was comparatively clean and wholesome. For the first time In Its history the death rate In midsum mer was reduced to the rate In other cities of the same Bizc. This reform was accomplished not by any radical change In the sewer system, or In tho water sys tem, but by rigid enforcement of system atic sanitary rules. Fundamental changes will be made later. This example Illustrates an Important phase of tho duty the United States owes to Cuba, to Porto Rico, and to the Philippines. Wa are not only to worK Improvement In government, not only to becure for the citizen his rights and greater privileges, to give him security of life nnd property, but wo are to Im prove all the conditions of life. Under Spanish irulo Santiago had made llttlo or no progress In fifty years; under Span, lsh rulo the Philippines have been held back, and Cuba drained of wealth. Un der American rule the Philippines will be pushed forward tn civilization and Cuba and Porto Rico will receive the benefits of better government, of Increased ac tivity in agriculture and manufactures. Cities that are breeders of pestilence will cease to exist: whole districts that aro scarcely Inhabited through want of prop, er dralnago will become habitable; gre.it soggy deserts that cut off civilization from localities lr. themselves healthy will be eliminated. Tho American system ought to do for Cuba at large what It has dono under the direction ot Colonel WooJ for Santiago. o Colonel Wood In two months reduced a death rate of seventy per day to twenty. Cven the Spaniards concede the benefi cence of the system. It means much fo Spaniard and Cuban, to rich and poor, and Is a harbinger of better things and better conditions under American ad ministration.
