It does not ehnust this question to say trnt for this willing and well-directed labor in the public lnteic-t they have been compensated There is anions their number an esprit du corps, n spirit of anxiety to do good work for the pleas ure nnd nobility of doing It, which carries the public's debt beyond any prosaic question of dollars and cents, and makes a hupplementary draft upon our unfeigned appreciation. The people of Northeastern Pennsyl vania, represented by and through the city of Pcianton, nie heartily glad of the opportunity to meet the postmen of the nation In the relationship of host to guest. To the limit of their ability nnd understanding th-y will strive to make the occasion of this llatteilng vIMt a happy one. and in the hope that the serious work of the convention may proceed with as much success and to a" satisfactory results as trre Is reason to hope will charac lerlre th? lighter features of the as toclatlon's stay among us, they bid their visitors a cordial nnd heartfelt w elcome.

Shall Expansion Be the Issue ? THKOl'GHOPT the country among the thinking minds of the masses the hope that Republican party leaders will adopt the advice of the piesldent nnd make expansion the leading Issue In s-tute campaigns seems almost unl ersul. While under oidhmry condi tions tho Introduction of national questions Into state politics Is not 'o be commended, In the present drcuni stances theie are special reasons for doing so. Whatever side we take, all good citizens must desire settlement of tho Philippine question In accordance with the wishis of the majority of the people. The chief Insphatlon of the president Is undoubtedly his belief that most of them agree with him that the treaty of peace with Spuln was expe dient and Just. That they believe he should obey Its mandates no reasonable person can doubt. As an exchange remarks, Its provisions binds us as strongly as do those of our constitu tion, with, the aided weight of respon sibility to the world for their enforce ment. And It will not be ditricult to make this Issue conspicuous and even decisive. Public feeling on It already tuns hfah and It Is likely to bo 'uir. r. ore Int .we. especially In thos. iaris of the country where tho money ques tion Is believed to have been settled. The Important thing Is to mako the Issue clear and definite. The presi dent so far as ho has declared his pur pose stands for tho principle that It is his duty to maintain the right j se cured by the treaty of Paris, leaving to congress the decision of the use tint shall be made of them. He has re hearsed In plain terms the steps by which ho has sought to fulilll that duty. He has made It plain that to the utmost limit of forbearance he hat maintained friendly relations with th Tagalos who are In arms under Aguln aldo. Force was resorted to only when our soldiers were attacked, and even then efforts to establish order by peaceful (Wans were not abandoned. The, proclamation of our commission ers) 'going as far ns the treaty per mlVefylj(h'fixecuJlv$ ,jo .go, .was tho last icxnrt, and when it failed, theie remained to the president nothing but prosecution of the war Agulnaldo had brought on. Thnt determination and vigor should be In the nrtn that seeks to enforco the authority tho treaty making powers of the nation have as sumed Is right on our own account ns well us for the insurgent!. Having no choice but to put congress In a position "to determine thu civil rights and political status of the natives," a president who would pause or parley uselessly with Insurgents who refuse to acknowledge our sovereignty would be recreant to his trust. The state campaigns that nre to be fought on the expansion Issue can bo effective In enlightening congress only If the voters have a chance to make clear what they wish done In tho Phil ippines when our authority Is estab lished. Discontent with present con ditions Is discontent with the terms of the tieaty of peace with Spain. What congress needs Is guidance from the people as to the manner In which these terms shall be carried out. Hon. John Wiinamakor 1ns returned home from Huropc In good condition physically. The fact that since his re turn he has refused to talk politics In dicates that the tiln will bo beneficial to tho readers of Philadelphia news papers as vveil. Needs of Our Navy. YVI,: Kreat achievements of tho United States navy at JL Manila and before Santiago1 have tired the average American with a pride In the prowess of tho Yankee tar and his Invincible battleship thnt Is almost unbounded. Hut the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette In a very timely article calls attention to the fat that pride won't supply the Plnio ft haid cash in keeping It strong nnd seivlceuble. Secretary Long is now confronted by the dlfllcult work of estimating the navy's needs on n basis that will be acceptable to con gtess and the country, and congress will on have the greater task of de ciding how many millions the navy shall get and seeing that It gets them. The estimate of the several bureaus of the department Mioiv that lnriw in. creases are to be demanded, owing to the rapid expansion of naval neds un der the stimulus of war. One item, the largest, Is $1S,000,000 $5,000,000 more than the same Item In tine pre vious estimate for "lncrcnse of the navy." With 54 warships of nil classes now building, a greater numbir than at any previous time In the history of the country, the friends of a. big, strong navy, will lind abundant argu ment for Increased appropilations, which nre not likely to be seriously opposed. Then there are docks armor and ordnance to be provided, shipyard plants to be repaired and enlarged, In addition to the usual demands. All thosi' are costly, but Uncle Sam, hav ing become a recognized naval power. Is not likely to ullow fear of expense to hamper him in responding to tho stmng popular demand for establishing a navy worthy tho nation's greatness. If "resblcnt Jimlnez of the Santo Domingo republic expects to accom plish much In the wav of restoring peace and quiet on the Isle of unrest, be should begin by changing his name. The Silk Industry. remarkable development of the silk Industry In X A merlcn within the last few yeais has been beyond tho dreams of the promoters of the enter prise which not so many years ago was monopolized by foielgn manufact urer. So much attention has been paid to the enormous Increase in production of Iron and steel of late that similar Inci cases in other industries have failed to attract the degree of notice they deserve. One of the most Inter esting cases of this kind is the devel opment of the silk Industry In the United States, ami more partlculatly In Pennsylvania. In the first half of the piesent year 9,091,145 pounds of raw silk were Imported for manufact uring purposes, largely for Pennsyl vania Arms. If we compare the Im portation of raw silk In the ilrst half of the piesent jear with that of the first year of 1S90 we find a gain of no less than 63 per cent . which Is laiger In proportion than the Increase in im portation of raw rubber in the bame period of time, and greater than the telatlve gains in several other pro ducts. The following table from tho New York Tribune will show the rela tive percentage of increase in a number of articles: Inc. ISKi 1S90, per ct. 9,Cltl,U5 5,913,260 fc3 0,577,307 4,4D0,S54 45 Silk, Imports, iav, pounds lion, tons, con sumed half ear Cotton, j cars tak ings, splnneis, bales 3,ri30.01S 2..W.47S 12 Wool, pounds es timates of trade 500,000,000 400,000,li0 :s India rubber, lbs Import, raw.. . 51,0?i,2oS 33.SIJ.3Tt 51 Hoots nnd shoes, cases shipped . 2,700,877 2,110,109 25 Central Pennsylvania was formerly known principally as an Iron producing legion, but of late years the character of Its Industries has changed greatly; pud many of the towns In the eastern part ci the state have also ceased to reap any benefit from the lion trade, and nourishing silk manufacturing in dustries have spiung up. The town of Lniaus (whldh formerly depended wholly upon the lion furnaces) now has a silk mill employing several hun dred hands. The Iock Illdgo fur naces, located at Alburtls. havo passed Into tho decline, of old nge, but n tine silk mill has grown up In this place. Kaston and Allentoivn both havo ullk mills, and, In fact, all along the Lehigh Valley tho change is apparent to any ono who may revisit thee localities after un absence of several years. The suicide of a young lady In Phlla dclphla the other day whoso mind hail fowi unbalanced by hard study, fur nishes another warning to ambitious patents who nre anxious that their children should overdo the matter In tho way of nn education. Whllo the desire for thorough education should nt all time, be encouraged there Is no question that many persons about us today would bo happier If they had less education nnd better health. Much of the knowledge that Is crammed Into many heads thnt are scarcely uuallllcd by nature to hold It Is of no practical vnluo to any one not engaged In tha work of teaching and does not recom pute for tho defective eyesight, stooped nhntildcrr nnd nervous debility thnt nre results of too much study. A little knowledge Is said to be n danger ous thing. Too much knowledge Is also hazardous. It would be much better It pll In ordinal v walks of life one rould aim nt tho happy medium between mental giants and physical pygmies. rutnt Halstead's definition of the anti-Imperialist Is unassailable. He say that the man who Is not In sym pathy with his country In Its war Is a tialtor. Theie Is n question ns to tho policy of tolrntlng the traitors who havo sympathized with the Filipinos on grounds that the gnn ulcus element In this instance has been harmless All tepnrts from Manila bearing upon tho subject go to show that the nntl-ex-panslonlsts havo in the short period of their pestiferous existence been re sponsible for the shedding of more American blood than w ere the so-called "Copperheads" during tho civil war. Hut for the antl-expnnslon talkers In congiess nnd out there would have been no w-ir In the Philippines. The respon sibility for every drop of blood shed by an American soldier In the Manila cnmpnlgn rvsts with equal weight upon th dusky Tigal nnd his good friend across tho water. It seems about tlma to tnnko nn example of some of theso despicable mischief makers. Ilollglous work down In Tennessee seems to furnish excitement enough for tho most enthusiastic. A Sunday school superintendent nt Pine Bluff re cently fired nt n couple of Mormon missionaries from ambush and by mis take killed a popular young lady. Tor tuied by remorse fie then took a knlfo nnd cut his throat and also sent a bul let through Ids head at the same In stant. Commander Tnusstng, who assumed to have a better Idea of the situation nt Manila than Admiral Watson could ever acqulrp has been given a vncatlon. Nnvnl officers will probably take the hint from this that only reporters are allowed to. criticise the admiral.
