Stale TreaMirer-MlH'TENANT COL ONfit, JAMUS K. UAIINGTT, of Waxhlngton. Hlectlon day, Nov. 7. It Is now In order for the nntl-lm-peilallsts to file objections to Captain Hlrhnrd Ivoary's proclamation to the citizens of Guam. The Ohio Campaign. " M 111'. nomination of John K. MoT.ean by the Democrats JL of Ohio to head their Btato ticket In an anti-trust and nntl-monopoly campaign Is beautifully lnronpruous. when we tnlp Into ac count the fact that McLean Is a mil lionaire whose fortune has been ac cumulated alons the very lines that the Zanesvllle platform condemns. Like the nomination of Shlp-hullder Sew all for Bryan's running mate, it Is amusing. But consistency never troubled the Ohio Democracy and In McLean they hae a candidate who Is not only rich enough to keep the machine well greased, but also peisonally a likeable man. who has a considerable following in the state without lcgard to patty. In the years that he has been pub lishing the Cincinnati llnniiher. In many way the strongest newspaper In Ohio, he has made a host of friends, who may be expected to temember him with a compllmentaiy ballot In No vember. That ho has also earned the enmity of numerous peisons Is simply a logical deduction fiom tho fact that he runs a newspaper. At any other time than now Mc Lean's candidacy would be formidable. The Republican paity in Ohio is ser iously disrupted. Tho Koraker wing and the Hanna wing cannot abide to gethfr In peace, and all public, protes tations of love and good feelings nre just so much iridescent buncombe. Foiakcr would knife Ilanna's ticket In a minute If that alone weio at stake. But It so happens that this election immediately piecedes a presidential campaign In which a. chief executive from Ohio is to bo a candidate for re election, upon n platform upholding the military policy of an American army now face to face with a foreign foe. Tho chief executive Is popular in Ohio, his policy is popular, and the Republican politician who should un dertake under these circumstances to indulge In any funny business with an untl-McKlnley. anti-expansion com bination would, If found out, soon at tend a political funeral in the unen viable role of a corps-e. A lady of Heeders, near Stroudsburg, has been attacked by the "klhslng bug" This looks like a fiucncll ap pearance. Chicago's Trust Conference, MOItU than half the states have ai ranged to send delegates to the confer ence on tt usts initiated by the Civic Federation of Chicago and called to meet In that city on Sept. 13 to 16. More than fifty members of con gress will be piesent. The Interstate Commerce commission will attend in a body. Representative economists fiom Kngland nnd other foielgn countiles have dcclaied their Intention to nt tend. The attorneys-general of twenty- two states have agreed to appear. Dele gates are being named by Boards of Trades, Chambers of Commeice. Na tional Labor and Agiicultuial bodies, the National Bar association, the Na tional Bankers' association, the Na tional Underwriter' association, the American economic association, tho American Social Science association, the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Tho labor Intel csts of the country v 111 bo represented in the confotence, Jn addition to tho labor membeis on the state delegations, by Samuel Gom pers, president of tho American Feder ation of Laboi; P. J. McGulie, general secretary United Biotheihood of Car penters and Joiners; P. II. Monlssey. grand master Brotherhood of Itallioad Trainmen; M. It. Grady, organizer Bricklayers' and Masons' International union; James O'Connell, piesldent In ternational Association of Machinists: John W. Hays, general secretary and treasurer Knights of Labor; the Com mercial Travellers' association, bj I". E.

Clatk, Brand commander Order Railway Con ductors; the agricultural Interests by ex-Governor W. D. Hoard, president the Farmers' National congress; Aaron Jones, Master National Grange. Ac ceptances have also been received from Washington Gladden, Mayor Samuel Jones, or Toledo, O.; John Graham Brooks, ex-Secretnry Sterling Morton, -M. E. Ingalls, president Big Four; E. T. Jeffreys, president Rio Gtando rail road; R, T. Ely, Wisconsin university; Tresldent Draper, University of Illi nois; President Northrop, University of Minnesota; Henry W. Lamb, president New Encland Free Trade League; Jeremiah W. Jenks, professor political economy, Cornoll university, and Law rence Gronlund. This rather formidable catalofc-ue of names Is rehearsed to Illustrate the breadth nnd depth of the Interest which the people nro taking In the question of trusts, or more particularly In tlirt economic conditions of which trusts nre a mere surface Indication. No such a repiesentatlvo list of acceptances could have been secured had the Invitations been to a conference on some purely academic theme, not entering Inti mately nnd palpably Into tho cverydny thought and life of tho people. The conference nt Chicago Is to bo non partisan nnd judicial; Its aim Is to elucidate truth and If those who take part In It are frank and honest, It can hardly fall to result In much public enlightenment. About twenty times as much money Is needed ns has been subscribed to succor the starving In 'Porto Rico. Starvation Is not a thing which can wait. The New Party Rules. MUCH ADO Is being mnde by tho "Insurgent" press over two amendments to the rules of the Republi can patty In Pennsylvania adopted nt tho lecent state convention without op position from nny quarter. Charges of a dire conspiracy to throttle party sen timent are freely bandied nnd conse quently It becomes intelligent poison, not to accept these notoriously pattls un opinions off-hand, but to look Into the matter. The first amendment, that to the rule requiring state delegates to bo choen In the manner In which candi dates for the general assembly nro nominated, added the words, "or In ac cordance with the partv rules in force In the respective? counties of the com monwealth." That Is to say, tho Re publicans of any county may make or modify the party rules governing the election of state delegates In that county, and not the Republicans of each legislative district, ns Is now the en"" In a number of the counties. Thus In Lackawanna tho county ron ntlon would establish rules govern ing each of the four districts In their choice of state delegates and uniform ity in pioceduie would bo assured. This simply equalizes representation In tli" state convention and makes the county the unit of power In all of tho counties, Instead of the coun ty In some of the counties and the legislative district In other counties. It Is ns fair for the goose ns it is for the rander. The t-epond nmendment docs not touch Lnekawannn but Is of interest in f-cveial neighboilng counties. It pro vides that when the ennferrees In any congiesslonal. senatorial or Judicial dl-trlct nre unable to agree nnd mnko n nomination fifty-live days prior to the general election the State com mittee shall appoint one additional conforree fiom each county In tho dls ti lot, and, If no nomination Is then made, shall appoint a referee, who shall make the nomination. The claim made by the "Insurrent" press against this rule Is that under its operation the Quay men could manufacture dead locks and then by means of the state committee's intervention nominate whom they should please. Having themselves manufactured a deadlock last winter on the senatorshlp, their argument against deadlocks Is some what inconsistent; but, all factional ism aside, why should not the state committee or high tilbunal of a party preserve party iepreentatlon by inter vening to end a deadlock which, it not ended, would menn a violation of rep iesentatlvo government? There is remedy against possible abue of tlili inle In tho abandonment of the con lenee system, and those Republicans who want direct nominations must make their light In tho various coun tp. whether tho state committee ha3 power to end deadlocks or not. Sifted down, tho "Insurgent" position Is. that these new rules nre all right If honestly applied, but that the Quay men nio such a disreputable set of thieves and rascals th-it they cannot be trusted. To this line of argument theie is no leply. Those who believe it will continue to believe It und those w ho do not will not be greatly Im pressed by It. Piesldent McKlnley's great admira tion for Admiral Dewey Is shown by his decision to keep away from New Yotk on the date of Dewey's reception. Mr. MeKlnley Is not willing that his presence should, as president of tho United States, divert the attention that belongs to the hero of Manila on that day. Dewey is to have the center of the stage. A Man to Admire. T WILL be the unanimous opin ion of nil who know Hon. Charles F. Manderson, of Omaha, Neb., that the American Bar as sociation neer made a worthier se lection than when It chose him to be Its president in succession to our pres ent ambassador to England, Hon. Jo beph II. Choate. Mr. Mnnderton has won eminence and fame In every field of enterprise In which he has engaged. lie was, a first clat-s soldier during the war of the rebellion; ho made a first class senator when he represented Nebraska In tho United States senate; ho Is ad mittedly at the head of the bar of the Trans-Mlsslsslppl region, which In cludes within Its membership many of the brightest lights of the country; and in the public nnd social activities of Omaha he Is as pre-eminent as he Is courteous, affable and progressive. Enjoying about as much of honor and the appreciation of his fellow men as It Is possible tor one man to enjoy. Senator Mnuderson nevertheless pre sents the happy spectacle of a man who is not spoiled by prosperity. It Is a delight to notice the cordial democ incy of his drill) Intercourse with tho people aiound about him, nnd espec ially charming is tho friendly interest which he shows in Pennsylvanlans who come within his ken; for he Is n l'ennsylvanlun himself In upbringing, nnd no one who was present on Penn sylvania Day at tho Omaha exposition will forget the sincerity of his gieet Ing to those who had Journeyed thith er from the Keystone state. Men like Charles F. Manderson are eufllclontly rare to deserve to bo prized above the ordinary, and we note with pleasure this latest public tribute to his worth. An Increase In one year of $50,000,000 In bank deposits In Pennsylvania tends to explain why to professional calamity howlers this state Is still re garded us "the enemy's country." Cleaned While You Walt. ONE of the Ingenious plans for the entertainment of visitors submitted to tho manage ment of tho forthcoming Pan-Amerlcnn exposition nt Buffalo has for Its object the establishment of a Tourists' Cleaning and Rejuvenating company, the mission of which Is thus described by tho anonymous promo ters: "I want to build a cleaning and re juvenating department near the Union depot, and there scrub and dust and generally clean up the visitors. Some days the trains will bring In many thousands. Well, I wnnt to be ready for them. I want u great, long build ing erected and when the trains come In I want the runners to take nil the travelers and send them Into the shed. The entrance Into tho front room will cost 10 cents, nnd those who go In will have their Jiats nnd coats nicely brushed by a force of boys, nnd after that they will step Into a chair and get a shine. Then they enn go out, If they want, but It will cost only 10 cents to go Into the next room, and there they will bo shaved nnd get a hair cut, nnd have a chance to wa.sh. It will cost G5 cents to get Into tho next room, and there will bo a nlc meal and ticket for the exposition thrown In with a neat little guide book." Something on this order would do a land-office business In Scranton next week. A woman In Nonistown has Just found a small fortune In a mattress which she purchased at a public sale. This, however, should not Induce, one to pay fancy prices for second-hand bedding. One usually runs greater risk of finding fever geims than fortunes in old mattresses. A Southern Democratic paper has ac cused Governor Roosevelt of resem bling Rudyaid Kipling. Governor Roosevelt's friends should protest. There ousht to be a limit to this sort of business. Even nn olllcer-holder Is entitled to some respect from the press. Town Topics nominates Admiral George Dewey as tho people's candi date for piesldent in 1900. In view of Admiral Dewey's repeated avowals that he will not under any circum stances be a candidate. Town Topics ought to have more sense. m Walter Wellman, the latest Arctic exploier, Is modest enough not to claim nil the glory fiom low temperature re search. He announces that the pole may bo reached and has now retired to give some one else the honor of making the first visit. A foreign tourist company estimates that American tourists spend annually more than $100,000,000 in sight-seeing In Europe. Perhaps they do; but there Is consolation In the fact that they can afford to. The progress of civilization in the Philippines seems undoubted. Some of the mayois have already reached the Lexow stage. HUMAN NATURE STUDIES Courteous Humility. A Somerset correspondent of the Flus hing Times tells the following btory of General Alexander Ogle, head of tho Ogle family, the members of which are celebrated In Somerset and Its environs us among tho foremost of the "frosty sons of thunder:" When General Jack son occupied the presidential chair Gen eral Oglo considered It on one occasion neces.saiy to wiito the piesldent a letter gl lug his views on ceitaln prominent questions of that da. The letter was a long one, written with great care, but bo foru mailing It to Washington he thought proper to submit it to a filend of the sanio political faith as hit own. Tills friend lead the letter very curefull). Finally ho said- "Geneial Ogle, that is a magnificent letter, Just such a letter as I should expect fiom a man like you; but thero Is one little thing a mere for ninllty that 1 notice. In speaking of ) out self )ou have all thiough uur letter used a small T with a dot over It It Is customary In rolile correspondence In speaking of ono's relf to use a capital 'I ' " "Ahem!" said the general, hesitat ing only a moment. "You are right, su ; In ordinary correspondence I always uso tho capital 'I' In referring to mjr-ulf, but when I address a great man llko General Jackson I abase myself, abase myself, sir, and uso tho smallest '1' In the alpha bet!" Tho "small formality" was cor rected and the letter went on Its way to Washington, V -A Desirable Bit of Shrubbery. When I'lofcssor Weber, of the United States ogrlcultuial department discovered after years of study that tho seeds of many fruit bearing trees were poly cm bryutlc, that Is, that It was possible to Krow more than ono fruit from tho samo seed, the possibilities of Intergraftlng be came far greater than had ever before been suspected, and Director Frederick Tavlor, of tho concession department of the Pan-Amerlcnn exposition, which will bo held In tho city of Buffalo during the summer months of tho year 1901, saw possibilities for the consummation of a hoped-for, but depaircd-of result. "Professor Weber has succeeded in growing three distinct varieties of lemons from one seed by intergraftlng," said Mr. Taylor, "and his success has prompt ed mo to make some researches in that line. I am now working on a couple of trees and shrubs, and with the success which I confidently expect I hope to show to tho populace a tree which will hn vastly popular In tho summer time nnd which everv man will wish to purchase. I nm Intergraftlng the lime tree with the Juniper bush. What do you think of the Idea?" "Don't know." was tho blank answer. "What sort of fruit do you expect to raise by such an Intergraft?" "From the plain lime tree we get limes," fnld the director. "From the Juniper bush we get Juniper berries. From Juniper berries gin Is made. Fiom tlin Intergrafted tree we shnll get both, The fruit will be gin rlckles." Took Warning. They were talking at the Metropolitan club the other night, says the Washing ton Post, ubout the burd-tightlng and hard-drinking old generals of tho Amer ican army In Its early days, and some stories of old General Abercromble, "who never tasted water," went around. "My futher," said one of the members, "once asked General Abercromble. why tt wus that he had such a natural dis taste for water. "I'll tell ou of nn Incident that'll help to explain It,' was tho frank old sol dier's reply.

It was colder than Greenland. In 0110 of my saddle-pockets I had n Jug of whisky, and In the other a Jug of water. Well, It was so cold that the jug of water froze up and busted. Supposing It hud been Inside of me!' " An Uncomfoitnble Sent. The other day two young ladles hailed a street car In a large city, entered 11, and found only standing room. Ono of them whispered to her com panion, "I am going to get a scat from ono of theso men." She looked down the row of men, nnd selected for her victim a sedate-looking gentleman She tullcd up to him and boldly opened fire. "My dear Mr. Ilrown, how delighted I am to meet you! You am almost a stranger! Will I accept jour seal? Well, I do feel tired, I must admit! Thank you, very much!" The sedato gentleman, a perfect strang er, of course, looked, listened, then quiet ly rose, and gavo her his scat, saving as ho did t.o: "Sit down. Mary, my girl. I don't often see you out on washing day! You must feel tired! How's jour mistress'" The girl got her seat, bi.t lost her vi vacity. Extinguished. A young and newly-married couple were entertaining their iriends, and umong tho guests was one whoso con tinued rudeness made him oMremcly ob jectionable to the rest of the company. His conduct, nlthoigh most unbearable, was put up with for somo time, until nt supper hu held up on his fork a piece of meat which had been served to him, and In a vein of intended humor, ho looked round nnd remarked: "Is this pig?" This immediately drew forth tho re mark from a qulet-loklng Individual sit ting nt tho other end of tho table. "Wlich end of tho fork do you refer to?" Sparo Moments. Fixity of Tenure. An Irish tenant farmer, returning from a somewhat distant market one nftei noon, relates tho Newcastle (Tng.) Chron icle, missed his way and got Into a boc holo, where ho stuck fast. The laadloid. who knew the locnllty well, chaining to pass shortlj' nfterward on horsel.ark. no ticed his tenant's dilemma, and, smiling shouted "Hallo1 Pat, jou've got llMty tf tenure now." "Ves, wr honor," ejacu lated Pat, "nnd I'd mightily obliged If yo would evict me." Funston and the Looter. This story Is told of ono of the Kan sas oluntects sen ins under Colonel Funston In tho Philippines. Ills colonel, observing him one morning coming Into enmp withj a fat Filipino gamo cock m his arms, halted him to Inquire whether ho had been stealing chickens. "No, colonel' ' was tho reply. "I just saw tho old fellow strutting along the nigger trenches, and 1 ordered him to crow for Old 'ilorv. He wouldn't, so I arrested him for a rebel." The First Diunkard. General T H. Stanton told this story to an' Omaha repot ter: "Ono morning I got around to the Auny and Navy club In Washington, nnd found none of tho dis tinguished members there. 1 felt a little lonely and, touching a bell, I summoned a waiter. 'Have any of tho old drunkaids been here this morning?' I aked. 'No, sah; j-ou'se de fust one,' ho leplltd." A Remarkable Performance. A man from Pino Knob stood watching a performance on a slide tiombone. Suddenly seizing a companion's arm, tho Pino Knob man excitedly exclaimed: "Look thar, l.lge " "Whin's tho mat ter? "Look thar. I,lge, ho done It again." "Done what?" "W'y, crowded mn'n half that blamed ho'u Inter his mouth. Uld you seo that?" Anecdotes. NUBS OF KNOWLEDGE. A naturalist found that black nuts were devout Inc the skins of some bird specimens on a table, so he made tur circles on four pieces of paper, and put ono under each leg of the table. Ants will not cross tar. Pietty soon he found tho ants busily at work again, and. look Ing at tho tar circles, found each one was bridged by bits of sand which tho clever nnts had brought In from tbu street.
