SOfllE DOCTRINE
REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING
IN THE OPERA HOUSE.
Issues of the Campaign Ably Hand
led by Hon. John F. Reynolds,
Candidate for the Legislature In
the Fourth District; Hon. Jere
miah Snyder, of Allentown, and
Fred W. Fleltz Hall Was Almost
Unbearably Cold, But the Audi
ence Stayed to the Lart.
Hon. John F. Reynolds, of Carbon
dale, candidate for the leglslatuto In
the Fourth district; Hon. Jeremiah
Bnyder, of Allentown, nnd Fred. W.
Fleltz addressed a large Republican
mass meeting In Father Muthew opera
house, Olyphant, last night. P. J. Mat
thews presided.
Mr. Reynolds opened the spocchmnk
Ing by returning his thanks to the peo
ple of Olyphant for the hearty support
they grave him two years ngo. lip then
proceeded to discuss In a clear.stralght
forward style the Issues of the cam
paign. Two years ago, he began by saying,
the two great parties went before the
people on two clearly defined ques
tlons, tariff refonn and cuireiioj re
form. The Wllsoii-Garmnn bill had
produced u veritable paralysis to In
dustry. The Democrats had to get
some new Idea upon which to argue.
They were left without a platform to
stand upon. Seeing their desperate
condition the Populists of the west
made overtures for n coalition nnd In
their dire extremity the Democrats ac
cepted the Popullstlc theories. Thus
arrayed the two parties fared each
other. The verdict was for the repub
licans. As a result of that verdict tills
country Inst year turned the balance
of trade In our favor and now under
the beneficent Republican system of
revenue XSO.000 In gold drops Into the
coffers of the United States every hour.
This Is nhout the only section of the
country that has not directly felt the
return of prosperity. The Democratic
tariff tinkers by admitting the soft coal
of Nova Scotia and Canada to this
country compelled our own soft coal
operators to cut down wages and los
len tho price of their product. Tills re
sulted In their supplanting anthracite in
many of Its best markets and decreas
ing In conseuence the demand, for hard
coal.
NATUItn TO THE RKLinF.
Nature, however. Is coming to the
rescue. The supply of natural gas In
the great manufacturing districts of
the western part of the state Is failing
nnd promises to give out. The steam
fuels that this region produces are the
only substitutes for natural gas, and
before many years those factories of
the western part of the state, now re
lying on gas for fuel, will have to come
here.
This will mean n double benefit, as In
addition to Increasing the local and
consequently best market for our coal,
It will furnish additional employment
for thousands upon thousands of men,
boys nnd girls.
Viewing the bright and cheery dawn
of prosperity that has succeeded the
dismal gloom of the closing years of
Cleveland's administration, It is no
wonder the Democrats do not now wish
to take un the national Issues. It is
not surprising that they strive for the
nonce to relegate free trade nnd free
silver to the rear.
After reviewing the glories of JIc
Klnley's brlct administration and the
situation that now confronts u as n
result of attaining these glories Sir.
Reynolds said that we now want con
structive nnd not destructive states
men, men who will do something more
than find fault, men who can look
down the vista of the years and lay a
suitable foundation for the policy wo
must work out.
We want men ;-'ur porting the admin
istration who are in sympathy with it
and who will not stubbornly refuse
to view territorial expansion In nny
light other than that of imperialism,
as the Democrats have seen fit to call
It. Wo want men who will say that
wherever a drop of American blood
has consecrated the soil and wherever
the sunlight has kissed the starry folds
of old glory there enn bo no Imper
ialism, nothing but liberty.
Mil. SNYDKR'B ADDRESS.
Mr. Snyder, the next speaker, nlso
dealt largely with nntlonal affairs.
Quoting Chnuncey Depew, he raid this
country saw prior to the civil war
three great crises; the revolutionary
war which cost $"5,000,000, but which
guvo us the great boon of freedom:
tho war of 1812 which cost $CO.OOO,000,
but by which wo asserted our privi
lege of the seas, nnd the Mexican war,
which cost $t0,000,000, but which gave
Us the golden coast of California and
tho rich territory of New Mexico. All
these crises, however, If put together,
Mr. Snyder wont on to Kay, did not
cost us as much as did the Democratic
control of the government from 1802
to 1S90 and the co-nsequenres, instead
of bolng a benefit were a falling short
In the revenues, n depleted gold re
serve, mills and factories closed down,
real estate depreciated and u general
depression In all lines of Industry ex
cept that of establishing soup houses.
The Democrats said these conditions
were duo to the crlmo of 1S73. The
Republicans said It was duo to tho
Wilson-Gorman bill. The people
thought with the Republicans and to
emphatically register Its verdict, elect
ed tho one man who above nil others
stands for nil that la diametrically
opposed to the diastlc principles of the
Democratic tariff reformers Major
William McKlnlcy, protection's cham
pion. Thnt no mistake v:ip made by
the people expel lenee has amply
proved. William McKlnliy's admin
istration will mnik an epoch In history,
and if wo nie not halted by our own
folly, New Yolk and not London will
be the clearing house of tho world.
National Issues not only are con
cerned in this election, Mr. Snyder
contended, but are paramount In It.
The Republican administration de
mands a Republican congress, a Re
publican legislature to elect a Repub
lican senator and a Republican major
ity for governor that will leave no
doubt In tho minds of tho people of
the world at large that the common
wealth of Pennsylvania, the gteatest
state In the union, Is In sympathy wllh
William McKinley.
NOT STATE ISSTTES.
Although the opera house was cold,
Mr. Fleltz, the concluding speaker, held
the audience for over an hour In the
closest attention. Referring to the alle
gation of the Democrats that we have
no concern at present in anything but
state Issues Mr. Fleltz made the com
ment that this wos iuite in keeping
with the past history of Democracy.
"They nlwus spelled state with a big
S, and nation with a small n. Jenks
takes the same position today he did
In 1SC1, when he went about the coun
try talking on 'statu Issues.' Today he
lauds Lincoln and grieves that the Re
publican party has fallen from the
high plane on which he would estab
lish it. In 1SG1 he was lighting Lin
coln's administration and policy and
saying 'let tho southern stoteB go. Let
us look after our own stute.' Mr.
Jenks Is certainly consistent In the
matter of state Issues."
Dealing with Dr. Swallow, Mr. Fleltz
said he did not propose to adopt the
doctor's tactics and abuse him. He
would not call Dr. Swallow a thief
and was not ready to believe that he
is n thief. Neither was he ready to
believe that every other man In tho
state except Dr. Swallow Is a thief.
One criticism, however, that could
be fairly offeied of Dr. Swallow was
that he Is a. candidate with a prin
ciple and simply an Individual, person
al seeker for the olllce to which he
asplrei. Last election his candldncy
was deserving of a fair consideration.
He represented a principle. He was
a candidate of a recognized party, the
Piohlbltionists. This year he Is simply
Dr. Silas C. Swallow, representing no
one but himself and depending entlre
1 for success on spectacular play. Any
number of earnest thinking Prohibi
tionists, tho speaker said, had been met
by hitAln his campaigning throughout
the stn, who openly avowed their op
position to Swallow, because of his
desertion of their principles.
WANAMAKER REFERRED TO.
Wnnamaker's treuehcry to the party
that had so signally honored him and
his desperate vlndletlveness that would
not stop at the wrecking of the party
In venting a personal grievance, were
denlt with In Mr. Fleltz' stralght-from-the-shoulder
style. At such a time ns
this conduct like that of Wanamnkor,
he said, amounts to treason. Every
man, regardless of party, should as
sent In the policy of the administration
now In power, considering the circum
stances. "Republican as I am," said
Mr. Flelts, "If thero was a Democrat
In the white house and a congress that
was Democratic and thpy had done
what McKinley and the Republican
congress have done, I would vote the
Democrntlo ticket this fall. I would
say they have done nobly bo far nnd
ought to be allowed to finish tho Job.
The Republicans have caught tho wood
chuck and have tho right to skin him."
Mr. Fleltz made an earnest plea for
united support for Mr. Connell nnd Mr.
Reynolds, paying a fitting tribute to
their services and contending that they
had fairly earned a re-election.
During the course of his remarks Mr,
Fleltz mentioned the fact that the audi
ence was not as large as It was two
years ago, when he spoke In tho same
hall before. He then brought down the
house by offering as an explanation for
this that thero weren't nny mines work
ing night shifts two years ago.
AROUND THE COAL MINES
THANKSGIVING FOR
RETURN OF PEACE
SPECIAL SERVICES CONDUCTED
AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN.
Tho new Oxford washery, th con
struction of which has been going on
for sometime, is rapidly being put in
shape for the installation of the ma
chinery. The frame work was put to
gether several weeks ago and the out
side boarding Is almost completed.
The washery, which replaces tho one
burned down In April last, stands In
the open space Just nt the foot of
Oxford street, and In close proximity
to the culm dump which it will re
move when operations begin. The
new washery Is smaller than the one
destroyed, but will be fitted with the
latest machinery for the work. It will
probably be In operation by the flrt
of the year.
The new head bouse, engine and
boiler rooms at tho Oxford shaft open
ing, are nearly completed. The ma
chinery has been overhauled nnd all
damaged parts replaced. The shaft
has been retlmbered wherever tho flVo
of last April damaged it. The open
ing will bo used only for Inciden
tal purposes, It being almost positive
that no coal will over be hoisted from
tho G:foid shaft for the market.
The sinking of the Mt. Pleasant
shatt from Its present foot to tho
Dunmore vein Is going rapidly forward
under the direction of Contractor Phil
lips. Two gangs of sinkers are em
ployed on the Job. The total dpth
will reach nearly D00 feet when the
sinking to the new vein is complete.
The opening up of this vein will not
materially Increase the output of the
colliery which Is owned nnd operated
by the W. T. Smith estate. The addi
tional quantity of coal mined will
offset nny falling off in quality or
quantity mined In the other veins.
Few men are employed in or about
the Sloan nrd Central collieries now.
The blacksmiths, carpenters and help
ers were laid off last week. This
seems to indicate that it will bo some
time before the collieries are again op
erated. Of course tho Central cannot
ba operated unless the Sloan Is work
ing as all tho Central coal must be
run through the Sloan breaker In its
preparation for the market.
These two shafts were recently deep
ened so ns to open out a lower vein
and cxtoii-he repairs have been made
Inside and out of both mines, so that
they are in first class shape for re
sumption at any time.
An Ungallant Philosopher.
"I suppose," said tho man whose hobby
Is economy, "thnt ns people advance in
years they increase In wisdom. Hut I
havo my doubts."
"I'm Buro that I have more practical
views of lifo than I had some years ago,"
replied his win.
"I won't dispute, it. But tho unal
ternblo fact remains that a 7-ycar-old
Girl will bo perfectly happy on Easter
with a fe.w hard boiled eggs, which nro
Inexpensive and good to eat, whllo a '-'7-year-old
girl cannot exist without a hlgn
prlccd hat, whoso only function Is to
make somo woman jealous In churcu
or somo man miserable in tho theatre."

Lebeck & Corin
Rev. Dr. McLcod Preached on Rea
sons for Our Gratefulness to Cod
for Ending of War With Spain It
Is Our Paramount Duty to Olvo
Gospel of Christ to Inhabitants of
Our Now Possessions Services at
St. Mark's and Trinity Lutheran
Churches.
Yesterday was set apart In a procla
mation by Governor Hastings ns a day
of special thanksgiving for the return
of peace and the end of tho Spanish
American war. The banks of the city
were closed, nnd so were most of the
ofllccs In city hall. The postolllce em
ployes also observed It as a holiday.
Special religious services were con
ducted in the First Presbyterian church
In the forenoon, beginning at 11 o'clock.
Tho services began with the hymn,
"God Bless Our Nation." Rev. Dr.
James McLeod In offering prayer
thanked God for tho fraternity of tho
North and South: nnd be said the coun
try Is grateful for the closer union of
the two great nations speaking the
sumo tongue, the mother country and
her children.
The pastor read the thanksgiving
proclamation of the governor and then
preached the sermon. Surely, he said,
we ought to be thankful to God for a
cessation of hostilities with Spain, and
to Join In prayer that It may result In
a ilghteous and enduring peace. As
lovers of peace and righteousness wo
ought to pray that rectitude of life,
devotion to home nnd country and tho
faithful performance of every public
and pilvate duty may characterize all
our people.
FOR A PERMANENT BLESSING.
Nor should we forget to pray that
these virtues may be more carefully
cultivated and more largely exempli
fied by nil who are In authority nnd by
all who occupy conspicuous positions
of trust In the state and nation. We
should all Join, he said, In the prayer
that It may please God, who Is rich In
mercy, so to overrule the war we have
waged that Its results may prove a
permanent blessing to our land and to
the cause of advancing civilization.
The word pence is full of music. To
live and die In peaco and be at peace
with God would be a little heaven.
Out while peace Is sweet war Is some
times necessary In order to secure It.
God loves peace, but not peacc-at-any-prlce.
That Is not peace which is secur
ed at the sacrifice of truth and honor.
Contention is unpleasant but some
times necessary. We did not threaten
to strike a blow until Spain's barbar
ous and Inhuman treatment of her
own subjects had shocked the civilized
world.
No war in the history of the wot Id
was undertaken for a more righteous
reason than our war with Spain. With
no thought of adding an acre to our
domain, or tho shadow of n thought of
revenge, or with no thought than for
humanity's sake and tho saving of
lives and securing the liberty of those
who were treated most barbarously,
did we g& to war with Spain. And
history will confirm the Judgment tuut
the wor proclaimed by William Mc
Kinley was for a cause as holy if not
so far-reaching as weie those wars
with which the names of George
Washington nnd Abraham Lincoln are
Inseparably linked
Tho future will disclose, ho said,
what Is to become of Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines. Tho United
States will never permit them to fall
back Into the hands of their tyrant op
pressor. Their inhabitants must bo,
taught the valuo not only of civil but
alo' more especially of religious lib
erty. We must enlighten them. These
Islands may become rich Pelds for
commercial enterprise, but the Chris
tian church in its various branches In
this nation must utilize the occasion
which Provldonco has placed In Its
hands,
Tin: NATIONAL ANTHEM.
Prayer was offered by A. W. Dick
son nnd tho services closed with the
national anthem. ".My Country 'Tis of
Thee," by the congregation.
Services were conducted In the
eenlng nt St. Mark's Lutheran chinch
on tho We3t Side by tho pastor, Rev.
A. L. Ramer; and at Trinity Luther
an church on Adams avenue, by Rev.
Charles L. Splekcr.

SAM'L B. HUEY, ESQ.,
Attorney-nt-Law and Presi
dent of tho Board of Public
Education, Phll'd'phln, Snys:
"I am moro than pleased with th
new Jnhnon's Cyclopedia. I am
surprised that you havo been able
to Rather toBf-lhcr such a staff of
writers and nm still moro surprised
ottluFcnpo nnd accuracy of the ar
ticles tbumselves. They are not only
valuable by reason of their char
acter, but they are In such com
pact form as to bo Immediately
available? to a busy man. I expect
to refer to the volume4 constantly
In connection with my professional
work. Any writer, speaker or teach
er will bo tho richer in preparation
and belter equipped for work It he
has access to this edition."
L. CLAItKE DAVIS, ESQ.,
Managing Editor of tho Public
Ledger, Philadelphia, Says:
"It answers more questions sat
isfactorily than uny other work of
twice tho nine. Important topics
nro treated by the best authorities
In Kluni'd nitleles which Klvo ac-
eunite Information and the most
enlightened opinion based on the
latest research. To tho busy work
er tt Is Indispensable."
THE HON. SAM'L W. PEN-
NYPACKEB,
Judgo of Philadelphia City
Court, Says:
"I havo examined tho new John
son's tTi Iversal Cyclopedia with
caro and entirely approvo of the
plan and the manner In which the
work upon It has been performed.
The articles bclni; slRiied. the read
er knows tho authority for the
statements made and the w'Wtrr Is
llxcrt with Individual responsibil
ity."
GEO. W. TWITMEYEP.,
Superintendent Public Schools,
Bethlehem, Says:
"I havo the Johnson's Cyclopedia
nnd three other standard cyclo
pedias, but I regard the Johnson's
us tho best In every particular."
E. D. BOVARD,
Superintendent Public Schools,
Dunmore.
"Actual use has convinced mo
that tho new Johnson's Cyclopedia
Is the best nnd most scholatly cy
clopedia published It Is of great
value In ovcry homo where thero
ale children attending tho higher
Kiades of bchools."
D. C. GILMAN, LL. D
President Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Baltimore, Says:
"I congratulate the editors nnd
publishers alike on tho success
they have attained. The moat
complete nnd accurate ready ref
erenco book In tho wldo domain It
covers,"
CARDINAL GIBBONS,
Baltimore, Says:
"Your new edition of John.on's
Cyclopedia, which contains ho many
articles by specialists, must surely
commend Itself to the reading public."
During tho last decade two Amer
ican Cyclopedias were- given general
recognition as "standard" in every
respect. They were the 1870 (Hor
ace Greeley) edition of Johnson's;
and Appleton's American Cyclope
dia. Thero were numerous reprints,
photographic copies and abridg
ments of the Cyclopedia Brltannlca
aud of Chamber's Encyclopedia, sold
under various names and titles.
Thero have also been several minor
compilations on tho market. But all
of them without exception have
grown out-of-date and cannot serve
the reader who is seeking reliable
and fresh Information. Several
publishers have lately been adver
tising their Cyclopedias as new, but
thov are not new, for tho samo
plates from which the pages wero
printed 20 or 30 years ago are still
being used. Some of these plates
have been cut for the purpose of in
serting new dates, or to add a new
subject hero or there or to make
room for late matter at tho end of
an article; but the general and es
sential treatment has been left as of
old.
There being no new worthy Cyclo
pedia on tho market; to meet tho
immense demand for a complete, re
liable and thoroughly up-to-dato
work, D. Appleton & Co. in connec
tion with the A. J. Johnson Co., aro
now bringing out the new JOHN
SON'S UNIVERSAL CYCLOPEDIA
to cover the field for both the Ap
pleton's American and the former
Johnson's.
The name of JOHNSON'S is re
tained because the original plan of
that work was found to bo the most
admirable ever used in the make-up
of any great reference library. It
was determined that the new work
should be as great au improvement
over the two old ones in every feat
ure, as American ingenuity and en
terprise could accomplish. As a
result tho New Johnson's Universal
Cyclopedia has been received with
the greatest satisfaction by our
most eminent scholars and it at
once becomes the Standard Cyclo
pedia. Absolute superiority over all
others in every respect is positive
ly claimed for it.
All owners of tho old American,
the former Johnson's or any of the
other Cyclopedias should at once re
place them with the NEW JOHN
SON'S. It is a complete reference
library, indispensable in the office
and in the home. It is the best
helper school children can have to
supplement the work of the teacher.
It is a working companion that an
swers all questions in every field of
learning.
DAVID J. HILL, LL. D.,
President Rochoster Univer
sity, (Lately Appointed As
sistant Secretary of State,
U. S.), Says:
"X havo found tho Johnson's Cy
clopedia better ndaptcd to my
needs, ns a work of reference, than
any other."
W. S. WINTERSTEEN,
Chief Chemist, Lehigh ZIne
and Iron Co., Says:
"I am greatly pleased with tho
now Johnson's Cyclopedia, which I
ordorcd of you last week and which
I havo examined wun consiaeraoii
rnrn nlnnn tho set arrived. 1 con
slder It much more satisfactory on
scientific and literary subjects
than the Brltannlca."
PROF. MANSFIELD MERRI
MAN, Lehigh University, Says:
"My oxperlonco is that tt Is the
most practical and reliable cyclo
pedia In tho English language"
Rev. C. J. COOPER,
Muhlenberg College, Allen
town, Says:
"I have found tho new Johnson's
Cyclopedia so vastly superior to
any other that I would not part
with It for anything else In the
market."
REV. J. A. KNAPPENBER-
GER,
President Allentown College
for Women, Says:
"I have In mv library tho Kncy
clopedla Brltannlca, and havo ac
cess to tha Chumbors nnd the In
ternational Cyclopedias. I havo
recently bought tho Johnson's and
consider tho latter the best ency
clopedia published. It Is modern,
scholarly, practical and American."
J. HIRAM SCHWARTZ,
Head Master High School, Al
lentown, Says:
T was averse to examining tho
new Johnson's Cyclopedia. After
examining It, however, I found tho
work so much moro recent and
scholarly than any other that I
concluded I could not afford to be
without it."
H. O. DUERR, ESQ.,
Superintendent Lehigh Con
struction Company.
"I linvo tho Johnson's Cyclo
pedia, and behove It to bo the best
work of tho kind published prac
tical and modern."
RT. REV. JOHN F. HURST,
D. D LL. D.,
Chancellor of American Uni
versity, Washington, D. C,
Says:
"The new revision of tho John
son's Cyclopedia makes the work
an Indlspensahlo adjunct to the
books of the student and general
reader. In all lines of investiga
tion, as well as In tho fields of mod
ern research. To me It has had no
substitute."
It Is a College in a Home.

Is a retired boa captain who makes a
frequent boast that he has tho "smartost
woman along shore," New Instances of
her enterprise are constantly coming to
notice. The last ono refers to an exploit
by which shq saved herself a doctor's
hill. Tho captain tells tho Btory with
great rellHh.
"She's getting protty heavy," he begins,
"and now and again eh oil miss her foot
ing. Well, not many months ago sua
missed It on our stairs and fell all in a
heap clown three steps on to her side.
"When I cot to her, sho sulU, Just as
brisk as usual: 'Don't ask mo' If I've hurt
myself, Cap'n, for of course I have. I
reckon I'vo unjolntcd a bono la my left
ler. falling on It. Now don't try to pull
mo up. Let mo seramhlo round a min
ute, and you go for the doctor.'
"Well, the doctor's our next neighbor,
so It didn't tako long to get him. Ha
looked her over, nnd sold there was a
bone, somewhero round her left hip that
was out of kilter.
"At that mother roto right up on her
feot and toppled over tho opposite way
from what she'd fallen downstairs, and
wo heard a kind of crack.
"Sho looked up ut the doctor with hsr
mouth kind of whitish, but the same old
twlnklo In her eyes, and she says: 'I
bellevo I've set that bono myself, doctor,
and sho had!"
