I nm only jealous ol their fuvoi. I shall only attempt to win their approval and my experience lias taught me that that cm bes-t be done by nn honist. modest, dally discharge of public duty. An Important fact brought out by the testimony of John Gibbons in the Langstaff-Kolly contest yesterday Is that ho did not use n cent of money for either candidate but was absolutely neutral. This sworn evidence of a man whose word is taken by all who know liim cuts through a vast deal of ic cent lying. Tho attempt to foieo tes timony fiom him on points foreign to the scope of the contest was obviously a bit of shyster impel tlnence that do berved to fail. No Division of Interests. The people of Pennsylvania, in com mon with all other Intelligent Amerl 1 cans, are interested in the imlustri.il and commercial success of the country. They are interested In the continuance of the prosperity, dally growing more matUed, which caino ujxin the countiy after the victory of two years ago for Protection nncl Sound Money whlc'i resulted in the installation in olllce of Frreident William McKlnley and a Re publican congiess. Home of them may have believed two years ago, in the cllstrPfcB and oppression of free tiade times, that n trial of the free sliver policy could not make matters much worse and might possibly make them better. "We will not believe so ill of the 427,125 Pennsylvantans who in that ear cnt-t their ballots for Mr. Hrynn and unlimited fro coinage as to think that nny conMdetablo proportion of them were insinceie. Hut there is no school like expeiience. The people of the Tnlted States t-lnco that Riejt political battle una decided l..ivo beta taught by expeiience Mint the free co'nage of sliver is a delusive hope: that th.- sounder the money the better the prosperity and the ciedlt, and that tin entrusting of tho gov ernment to the rat cf ul bunds of Re publican statesmen was tho best thing that cou'd have happened to tho coun try. Men vho are able to look facts in tho face ann be honest with them--elves mid vith t.ieh other see now, if they did not -,-f In l'flR, that the Repub lican position was rjght and tho Demo cifitie posit on wrong. They nee that untlor such a currency system which bus the cnnudciiio of tho world we have brcuino the workshop of the world: out treasury is ovci flowing with gold, mil exports, surpass any previous notch it, their history and bcith uh n nation and as individuals, even In spite of an intervening war, the American people are the most pros r.Pioiu. people In the world and have it in them to continue In this pros peilty to luights yet undreamed of. Such being the happy situation of the moment, what shall be thought of the Democrutlo nominee for governor, Judge Jenks, who, though a supporter of free silver nnd for that reason nom inated over Judpt Gordon at Altoonn, haa r.ot the manliness to state publicly hits position on this question, but plans to get possession vt the political power of tlip nubernatorial olllco under the cover of a cloud of dust, in order that he may afterward use it to help along the fice silver cause? This Is the same small ttick that Croker and Tarn, jr.any are trying to play in New YoiK. There, as hero, tho Democratic, guber natorial candidate ,ays Micro are no national Issues to bo considered in the approaching election, but, Just the same, if either Vnn Wyck or Jenks should by any accident pull through at tho polls, there is not a sllverlto in the country who would not see in It a significant victory for tho freo Oliver cause, giving new encouragement to that cause to push again for the presi dency and congress in 1900, Republicans nnd those in sympathy with the high alms of the present na tional administration must not let the cunning enemy take them noxt month nt a disadvantage. The interests ot the whole country are at stake fully as directly as are any strictly local In terests. Republicans never yet gain ed by flirtations with the opposition. It Is their duty this year to come and click together. . Tho charge that school warrants havo not been paid upon presentation nt llnrrlsburg, which Is one of the weapons of tho Wanamnker alliance, is llatly denied by State Treasurer lleacom, who declares that every pro perly certllled demand has been met piomptly, tho only exception being In the case of school districts not in need of money, when the call Is obviously for the special benefit ot local banks. Mr. Reacom says with reference to this class of calls: "As tho state is itself In the banking business, I hold that It is -good business policy to keep the money In tho state treasury and let the state get tho Interest Instend of the local bank." Most of Wnnnninkcr'n sprcad-engle charges have equally small basis In fact. The Legislature. The Issues Involved in a campaign for coiitrol of a state legislature are three fold In character. When a United States senator is to bo elected, as in Pennsylvania this winter, national In terests nre Involved and tho whole realm of national politics and states manship may properly be traversed for arguments. There are also btate In terests, having connection with the laws which every legislature must en act and tho bills to be considered af fecting tho commonwealth nt large. And finally there are mainly local in terests, such as appropriations for charitable institutions and legislation relating to particular Industries. We have heard of late much de nunciation of the last legislature, some of it just, much of It wilfully unfair and made for malicious purposes. In every legislature are good nnd bad men, eood and bad bills and good and bad influences, working in antagon ism. The last legislature was not an exception in this respect and it was moreover especially unfortunate in having to assemble after a bitter fac tional fight over the senatorshlp which poisoned public opinion and can led many members away from a proper sense of duty and responsibility. There need be no apology for its faults in or der to demonstrate to. fair-minded men that a whole party should not be pun ished for the misdeeds of a few indi vidual membets. The legislative problem this year calls for the election of trustworthy Republicans who have the ability and the expeiience to do their duty. Where such men have been placed in nomina tion on tho Republican ticket there Is absolutely no occasion for the with holding of a single Republican vote. A large majority of the nominees are of this character and their election will insure, under any circumstances, a thoughtful vote on the senatorshlp, the enactment of well-matured and ptogresslve genet nl legislation and es pecially the careful safcguardianshlp of local inteiests at Hattlsbuig. Tho people of each dlstrkt consti tute a jury which must pass upon the met its of the candidates in that dis trict and it is they, and not outsiders, who must g!e the vetdlct. In Lacka wanna county four of the live Repub lican candidates for legislative posi tions ate men who have won icnotnt natlons by overwhelming or unani mous votes of their constituents and possess the llpo expeiience in legisla tive matters and the knowledge of how to accomplish results for their dis tricts which deserve to count heavllv in their favor; nnd tho fifth, while without experience at Harrisburg, has lu other places of ft list shown tho quality that augurs fitness for promo tion. The voters of Lackawanna i utility will do well to send a solid Re publican delegation to the next legis late o. The mi&tnko which Mr. Jenks Is mak ing Is in considering that anybody in Pennsylvania Is taking him seriously. A candidate tor ofllce who was ngalnst Lincoln In the civil war. who favored the revolutionary doctrines of Bryan ism two years ngo nnd who now is sim ply serving as p. decoy for tho GufTey element of tho Democracy need not ex wet to travel far in an Intelligent state like Pennsylvania. The Loftier View. Justice hns not been done in the ab btevlnted pi ess reports to one of the speeches made during the Chicago peace jubilee. The introductory speak er at the big banquet which brought that notable celebration to nn aus picious close was Franklin MacVeagh and his lew of the consequences of tho war In their imposition of duty upon the United States was so lofty and vivid that It should be known evetywheie This is Mie essence of what he said: "Some of the wisest and ablest men of the countiy tell us we must be content to Illustrate for mankind the evolution of a commercial and lndustil.il nation. But Is that enough 7 Will the In Q.11I founda tions laid by the fathers he satisfied with a superstructure of wealth and Isolated content? Content and wealth nro great pnxsest-lons, but nro they enough? Com mercialism Is good and industrialism Is good. Many of us me commercial. Wo aio commercial and we tiro Industrial, but heaven help us if our lives stop nt that. If wo aio only commercial and industrial, then let us nbiilo by tho wisdom of tho moment, and cat. drink and be merry, tor tomorrow wo die. Others tell us that wo must devoto ourselves to self-development and be an Isolated nation. Hut Is there nothing for us to do. In addition to impiovlng oui selves something to do for others and for tho general good-something which, viewed from the higher ground, Is liner than commerce, liner than man ufacture, and finer than ourrelves? Ought wo not to make our power beneficent, and not merely make it greater? Ought wo not to nsplro to leadership in behalf of tho great things we bellevo in, and tho great Ideas wo stand for? "I believe tho place of a great nation Is in the gieat world, for a gieat people must lead a great life. And I bellevo a people will rls.e higher and higher In civil ization and css-intlal hapnlness, as it grows In Its denlro to ralro the civilization and tho happiness of tho world, and that It Is Impossible to fitly nourish the soul of a powerful peoplo unless you glvo It some thing to do for tho general progress of mankind. Certainly, if tho evolution of democracy continues and who doesn't be llevo it will? a new spirit must possess tho lives of the nations. The unfolding of democracy, which is making more- sncrJil the rights of man, In contrast with tho ancient eanctlty of institutions, and by appointing tho majority to rule, 13 no centlng tho necessity of universal human advancement, In contrast with tho old time civilization of tho few, Is throwing a new light on tho responsibilities to tho dimensions of the world. It is Interpret ing national boundaries as political for- malltlcs and conveniences binding upon the laws of a people, but not upon its spirit. Democracy, In shoVt, has Borlousl begun to rulo humanity, and tho Illumi nating truth Is that democracy's Ideas ,iro not tho Ideals of Isolation, Its concern Is mankind. "Wo nro tho greatest exponent of de mocracy, nnd aro appointed to llvo up to Its Idonls. And vvu must realize that a new democrutio development is advanc ing which Is charctcrlzed by broadar demands of the democratic spirt by de mands for not only political institutions, lmportnnt es they are, but for democratic civilization that shull reach nil mankind, und for democratic human progress that shall Inrliido every corner of tho earth. Our nation will, I believe, bo foremsst In Illustrating tho duties and tho ambi tions the r.splrntlons of the democratic era. It Is tuklng Its place in tho great world. Not for tho sako of commerce only, not for tho sako of great posses sions: not to aggrandize only, but, I hope, to participate In determining the destinies of men. Not to quarrel, but to promote a larger nnd a moro righteous peace. Not to precipitate alliances, but to make It certain, I trust, that any nation which battles for whtt wo think Is indlsponsable to human progress shall not bo defeated. "It will hj a splendid spectacle, when our powerful nation, growing ever moro powerful, shall bo standing, ns I prophesy It will, firmly In tho midst of the nations, not unmindful of Its own vast interests, but thinking moro highly still of Justice, and of n civilization that sh-ill encompass tho mon and women of every class nnd cvnry clime, nnd eager to promote not alono Its own olcvultcn but tho elevation of the world." Tho Amerlcnn who has faith In his country will not fenr tho extension of her Influence or tho expansion of her dominion; above all, ho will not iden tify himself with nny party or nny leadership which would cripple the one or obstruct the other. m Colonel Dryan's obvious embarrass ment in the mllltnry service would be materially relieved if he would make up his mind to do dally what comes to him in the line of duty, without con cern over the consequences, political or otherwise. The labor of trying to cal culate the political effect of every nt t, word or gesture Is too much for any man, we don't caro who he is. The mayor should lose no time in nfllxlng his signature to the Keller ordi nance for street repairs. Tho repair ing of the streets has been delayed much too long already. Not a moment should now be lost In getting tho good work started. The public can safely discredit the latest story that Hobson Is to be called off from his attempted recovery of the Cristobal Colon. Tho present admin istration of tho navy department Isn't Mu owing cold water on men like Hob-son. Dr. Swallow has evidently not been properly billed or else tho people be lieve he Is presenting a wornout at traction. His audiences have been very slim during the tour of the past weelc Mr. Jenks says that neither the war, tho tariff nor money aie Issues in the .present campaign. If It Is a fact that Jenks alone is the issue, the Intelligent voter knows just what to do at the polls. Colonel Waring estimates that It will take $22,000,000 to make Havana habit able. Cleanliness comes high In Cuba, but under American protection it will be one of the necessities. "Spread-eagling" has not been re ceived with favor in army circles. It 13 believed that "spread-eagling" should be left entirely to the campaign oratots. Tho Spanish story of the destruction of Aguinaldo's fleet by Admiral Dewey had quite a run when one considers that Aguinaldo never had a fleet. Sacrificing party to personal spite Is a poor business and the Republicans of Pennsylvania rightly decline to en gage In It. Mr. Wanamaker would evidently glvo a good deal If he could only have a plum tree to shake. Comparative Groutfh 0! American Trad?. THE rapid gain which tho United Stntes is nmklng in tho extension of its export trade Is lllustiutcd by somo figures presented In a statis tical abstract of the principal countries of the world recently issued by tho 13rltish government anil Just received at tho treasury bureau of statistics. This presents tables showing tho Imports and PNports of tha leading countries of the world year by year fiom 1SM5 to 1SD0, and in thee tables the United States makes for herself n remarkably advantageous showing in gains of her export trade. Tho tables cover tho expotts and Imports of twenty-two of th" leading countries ot tho world. An examination of the expott figures shows that the total exports of tho twenty-two countries In question amounted In 1896 to 1,157.000.000 pounds steillng, nnd in 1SW to 1,67,015,000, an In crease of 20 per cent. In the decade, while tho figures for the. United States alono show an Inciease of over 30 per cent, in the decade. Thus it will be seen that tho United States, between 18S6 and 1M, In creased her exports much more rapidly than the average country of the world, while a detailed examination shows that our gain over our cMef rivals, France, Germany nnd tho United Kingdom, was even greater than In the average shown by these figures, German's incieuse In exports in the decade JSS6-96 being 13 per cent., that of Franco but 4li per cent., and that of the United Kingdom 10' per cent,, whllo that of the United States, as already stated, was 30 per cent. A sub stitution of the figures covering tho ex ports of the United States in U9S for those of 1S00 would present a much greater In crease, our exports In IKS having been W per cent, greater than thoso of 1S96. That our share In the total eommerco of tho world is steadily Increasing Is rhown both by tho figures presented by tho publication in question nnd a com parison with those of earlier compilation. Our shnro of the tr.tnl exports of tho twenty-two countries under consideration in 1SSS was less thnn J2 per cent, nnd Is now over 13 per cent. .Adding to tho total of tho countries covered by tho publica tion in question tho latest accpsalblo fig ures on tho crmmerco of the other coun tries of tho world It is found that the exports of tho world aro abcut JS,600,00U,000 and the total commerce (exports and Im ports) approximately $17,000,000,000. Of this vast sum the United States contri buted S1.847.431.9S4 in 1S9S, or In round numbers U per cent., ngalnst estimates of 9Vj per cent. la 1SS9. V per cent. In 1S70, and 5.4 per cent, in 1S30, Of this increased percentage In tho world's commerce which wo now enJoy. exports nt present form a much lari'er proportion than they did nt tho earlier periods referred to, tho Imports having exceeded tho exports at each of the dates mentioned, while In 1S")S, for the first tlmo In our history, tho ex ports were double the amount of our Im ports. :o: An examlntUIot. of tho tables relating to tho Imports and exports of tho leading countries Bhows equally favornblo condi tions in regard to our own commerce. Our exports of iron and sttel, for Instance, aro shown to havo been hi 1SS7 $)5,9j0,(m) and in 189(5 $41,161,OUO, whllo those of tho t'nlt ed Kingdom, which In 1S7 were 24,9S2,Ot pounds Hterllng, were In 1S9C, only SVlul.OW pounds sterling, showing a loss of 5 per cent lu llrltlsh experts of Iron nnd steel, whllo thoso of tho United States were Increasing over I'M per cent. Our exports of leather and manufactures thereof In creased from $10,J3ti,00U In US" to $i),2l3,0M lu ibX; whllo thoso of Great Urltaln, which In US7 wcro 3,M2,SS6 pounds ster ling, were In 1890, 3W3,11S pounds sterling, thus showing a gain for Grcut Urltaln of less than S per cent., whllo our own exports of similar articles wcro Increas ing nearly 100 per cent. Comparing these evidences of tho gtowth of our exports of manufactures with those of Franco nnd Germany, tho result is equally favorable, exports of leather from Franco being In 185(1 133,000,000 francs In value, and in 189iJ but 82,000,000 francs; those of metal wares nnd tools, Cl.000,000 francs In lSSfl and 82,000,000 francs in 1SPC, German exports ot leather dressed nnd dyed, which in lbM amounted to 111,000.000 maiks, wcro In 1S9G but C3,OO0,0CO murks, whllo leather wares except gloves, which lu ISStJ wcro 110,0)0.000 narks, wero In 1S30, 60,000,000 marks. German exports of iron and steel show in tho decado an Increaso of SO per cent, ngalrst an increaso of 150 per cent. in our own exports In this lino. :o: Considering tho total exports, the fig ures relating to tho United Stiites nro extremely gratifying when compared wl'h lho?o of the leading countries which uro looked upon as our rivals in tho commer cial world. Tho total domestic exports of tho United Kingdom are given In 1S(J at 213.000,000 pounds sterling, and lu 1S96 nt 240,000,000 pounds sterling, a gain ft about 10 per cent. Thoso of Franco In lSSfl nro given nt ."!,21i,sii0.000 francs, und In lk&G at 3,100,900,000 francs, 11 gain of only 5 per cent. Those of Gci many In Wi are given nt 2,9,GX),000 marks, and In 1S06 at 3.D25.100.000, n gain of about IS per cent.; whllo tho domestic exports from tho United States In 1SC were $Wi.96l 529 and In 1S9G $Sf3,200,4S7, un Increaso cf nearly 30 per cent. A PEEIOD OF GREAT POLITICS. rrom the New York Sun. In tho history of America the political events of tho years from IStO to 1900 must nlvvays occupy a place ot fotcmost lmpor tame. In Mil, after a long period of bus iness and industilal paralysis and disas ter, tho American people wtte brought face to face with un Issue of tho cur rency standarj, v.tal to the picsperlty of tho republic Immediately and permanent ly. It was tho first time In the hlstoiy of popular government that such a question. Involving a fundamental principle of finance, had been referred for settlement to a vast body of Independent voters. Artful and shameful and fallacious argu ments nppeallng to sordid self interest wero used to Induce them to favor the de basement of tho monetary standaid, at the cost of tho national honor und cicdit, on tho ground that by such a debasement debts owed would bo reduced by about one-half. But they were unsuccessful. By far tho largest aggregate and pro portionate vote ever polled was cast t tho election, and thu majority for honesty was great. Defeat, however, did not deter tho party of vlitual repudiation ftom pursuing Its cftotts. With excep tions in three or four states only. It has clung to Its shan eful policy ever since, and nowhere havo Its conventions re jected positively tho platform proposing tho policy. 0 Tho defeat In 1S9G of that concerted nnd tremendous effort to bring about virtual lepudlatlon, staining forever tho honor and the credit of the Amoiiinn name, ie suited In tho Inauguration of an admin istration which for the llrst tlmo dealt de cisively with a Question that for muio than fifty years had caused dlstuilmtice nnd great Injuty to this counti.s. Spain was driven nt last by American aims fiom Its last foothold lu this hemlsphue, a center of pestilence was biought tinner the purification of modern civilization, and liberty was carried to a beat ot mediaeval tyranny nnd cruelty. In-1-dentally to this tcscuo another population, far away In tho Pacific ocean, on the other side of the globe, was rescued fiom tho same oppression, and Hands ot Im mense wealth and natural icsoiirces wcio added to the regions which modern enter prise nnd enlightenment are developing, for tho enrichment of the commerce of civilization, after centuries of despoil ment und restrlcilon. These achievements of the lntt six months have put upon tha American people at this time lesponsl bllitles whose consequences will extend to tho remotct future. They have intro duced a new era for this country, raised our politics into world-wide importance, and given a dignity to this generation of AmeiiciinB In all foreign eves which their predecessors never possessed. The mag nitude of the questions brought Into our politics dwarfs into something like pro vincial Insignificance issued which once teemed large and great. -- A1I these questions ore In tils canvass, and they will icmaln tor final settlement by tho American peoplo until they ar disposed of In the national election of 19W. They aio heie niw, tho only ques tions deserving of serious consideration, and thev will remain here until that elec tion Is decided Flint is tho question of the currency, whether wo shall prcservo It in conformity to that of civilisation nnd enlightened llnarce, or shall outlaw thl3 nation us a nation of icpudlutors and wild destroyers of their national piosperlty. That question Is as much bcfoio tho peo ple now as It was In 1590. nnd it will con tinue to be at tho fore until the election of WO. The questions growing out of the war are of a, tremendous Importance ot which every citizen Is fully conscious. Shall the war have been in vain, shall the death and suffering be left to go unrreom pensed, or shall the price exacted and ob talned for nil this heroic sacrifice be the extension of the power and wealth of tho nation and of civilization for which It was expended? Evt ry man who votes nt the coming election will vote on that ques tlon. and its decision will depend on tho result. Ho will not vote upon Issues con cerning his state alone, but on issues vital to all the stntes and Involving the honor, dignity, and glory of tho future of his country, CHIVALRY.
