The dread of campalKn miutageis who hulld up false sentiment by meam that will not ht.uid examination is lest they bicome eiitiiUBled in a ua tiou. The sensible oter, hoxvoxer sxcr-ed at tlmf.i by piejudlio or eNcltement, Ken erully in tho lomludlUK daxs ot an Ruiirmted canvass takes latlonal e vlew of hla fiutroundlncs and Indulges the "jobcr, second thought." It Is this habit ixhlch is operating at present to the ndvantago of tho admirable Re publican state ticket. The reaction baa boK'in and It will groxv In propor tions Jteadlly until election day. Re publicans are perceiving the necessity of party unity and the rclegutlon of factional or peisonal differences to a more propitious season. Above and bejond all small state Issues or clshc3 of ambition rises' the neccylty of up holding Republicanism for the coun try's sake, and clear perception of thU fact will Increase as the day of duty drawn noar. The speech of Hooker T. Washington at the Chicago peace Jubilee exercises han attracted widespread attention. It concerned the part of the negro sol dlcM In the war and one significant ex cerpt follows: "During the last !x months you have been testing us as If by fire, and you have It from the Hp3 of Shatter, Roonevelt and Wheeler, from the lips of northern soldier und southern soldier, that e did not fall you. Now xx e ure golnir to put you on trial, Wc nio going to preparp our selves In pioperty, thrift, economy, education nnd character for tho high est duties of cltlsspiishlp.

At n meeting In Rioolclyn on Wed lK'sda night General Htnjamln I Ttacy. c.N-secretniv of the nnx, de llxeied n sptecli In support of the New Ycnk state- ticket headed by The oilot Iloosox-dt which bears dhectly upon the situation In I'ennsylx-unln nnd in eveiy other state in the union xxhere a political contest Is pending. Said he 'Tor the llrst time In oui natlnnal liistoi.x we aie engaged In a great political conUht pending a tmce in xvnr We are aboui to elect a house of icpiosontatlxcs and oue-thiid of oui senate That election will either ap pioxe and Indorse or condemn the pol icy of the gox eminent that has thus fni cairled on the xxar. The wnr is not oxer The fighting has ceased only to enable the two nations Involved to determine xxhethei the can success fully negotiate a peace. Rut all Ku iopo Is xvatihlnr with intense inteiest the pioceedlngs ot the peace commis sion now sitting In PaiK nnd no one In this country Is moie solicitous ns to the outcome of the coming election than Spain. She 1-noxvs perfectly well that If the country does not indoise tlv pollcv of the admlnlstiatlon that lms thus fur conducted the w-at, it will be consldeied Its condemnation. If the war was now actuully rasing, if bat tles were being fought pending this eh i Hon, no one xxould doubt that his ote x. as to tll one xay or the other for the success or the failure of thu xxar. Rut the xxar, I repeat, Is not ended. We r.io In a stite of war yet, and v e ma be engaged even befoie the coming election In actual hostili ties. Then it becomes us carefully to consider xxhat effect our ote at the net tl'-ctloi' shall haxe upon the nego tiations that aie now pioeeeding. "Spain's hope today Is what It has been fiom tho beginning fotcign In tervention When she found that theie xx as no immediate hope for foielgn In tel volition she asked for a truce, but when she oblnlns that tiuce she Is In fax or of postponing, del.ilng, nego tiating, hoping that something will tiansplie to luing to her aid the intei vuntlon of one or moie of the nations of Rurope.

The question Is before the people ot Pennsylxnnla not less than beloie thoe of New "iorl xx bother this con tinued conlidenc e and support shall be glxcn or xxithhcld. The admlnlstiatlon cannot hope for the continuous on lldence nnd biippoit of a Demociatlc congress. It cannot expect the Demo ciatlc party to defer to It liulellnltclv. It must have a patty mpjotlty of Its oxxn, lendy to a"eept and reinforce its leadership and provide tho necessary legislation for the xvorking out ot Its pollelc s. It Is Inconceivable that tho people xho-e Inteiests It has guarded with such wonderful lidellty nnd suc cess will permit factional Jealousy and local disagreements to encompass the embarrassment of the national gov ernment. m The Dr. Swallow tally at Scottdale the other night xxas postponed at the last minute.

Poisons Interested In theatilcal mat ters at all must be glad that clean and xxholesomo plays like two xxhlch have been presented In this city this xveek "Under the Red Robe" and "The Pils oner of JCenda" still retain their hold on public fax or xxhlle theie Is borne indication that theatre-goers have be gun to feel sut felted xxlth the filth nnd vulgarity typified by such pioductloiis nR that glxen by Miss Delia Fox In "The Little Host." miction in the direction of decency Is Inevitable unless xx o accept tho preposterous pioposltlon that a majority of tho men and xvomen who attend theaties are themselves de piwed and xvant depiavlt setved up to them as a continuous dlel.t It Is, of course, too much tu expect that every dramatlo tepresentatlon shall be serious and strenuously elevat ing In character. The pilmaty mission of the stage Is to entertain Tho great mujorlty of those xho patronle It do so with the desire to be curried away from the cares of life and permitted to pass a brief vaeatlon In the domain of fancy. Vatlety in dramatic literature Is Q9 uecessaty as It Is In other forms of artistic creation. All minds aie not cast In tho same mould nor nre tastes uniform. Yet, it would seem as If the. time had come for public Intelligence to asseu Its discontent with vapid and nause ating stago pioductloiis that neither amuse, lnsttuet nor lonfer profit upon their patrons. The publlo has the cen sorship In Its oxvn keeping. It can eliminate vulgurlty from the stage by refusing to offer Inducements for Us .dlxplay. It can rexxaid tho purveyois of wholesome and refreshing dramatlo entertainment by substantial encour agement xxhlch will multiply the com panies and the plays that contribute In this direction. When the stago Is cleared ot the rot that has of late eaten so deeply Into It and made a place of uucoiruptlng tendencies It will hnvc a far xvldcr vogue and Influence than at present. Mnjor Clcneral Laxvton, military gov ernor of Rastein Cuba, In this country on a leave of absence, corrects a num ber of false Impressions concerning the Cuban insurgents. "In nil of the dis agreements and so-eilled riots," says he. "I never saxv one Cuban soldier. They are orderly and peaceable and not given to qunrrellng. All reports of tumble betxveen our army and tho Cu bans arc untrue." The popularity which General Laxvton has xxon among the Inhabitants of Cuba within his Jurisdiction Is nttested by the fact that the business men qf Santiago. In co operation with General Gurcla und his f i lends, are circulating a petition to President AlcICInley playing thnt Gen eral Laxvton be put In military charge of the whole island pending the deter mination of the question of Its futuie Fox eminent. All of which shoxvs that tuet Is bettor than force In dealing xxlth n sonsltlxe people. The Sultan of Turkey gaxe his aim to the wife of the German emperor at Constantinople the other day. Willie could not leturn the compliment. His arms would not go mound. People who contend that Uncle Sam has a white elephant on his hands In the Philippines will please lemcmber that Barnum's xvhite elephant proved to be x'aluable pioperty. Sir Hicks-Reach states that Ihigland docs not desire to humiliate any na tion. He theiefoie asks France to get off the pcich at Fashoda as quietly as possible. Spanish correspondents arc evidently trying to eomey the Impiesslon that It xvould be better to put Agulualdo's noxx-d on a reserx'atlon. Chicago has demonstrated that the Windy City can have a first-class Jubi lee, peace or no peace, and In spite of the xxeather.
