The State Convention.
THE redeeming feature ot the
ticket,, nominated nt Hurrls
burg yesterday -is the per
sonal 'excellence of the men
placed upon it. Throughout the ani
mated and, toward the last, somewhat
uerid canvass for the gubernatorial
nomination no supporter of either of the
' unsuccessful candidates has said a
word In personal disparagement ot
! Judge Pcnitypacker. lie represcents a
type of nuui deservedly high In public,
esteem. His personality, as yet little
known among the mabses, will attract
support the longer It Is studied; and
bis colleagues on the ticket are both
' lit to keep him company.
While the tact remains that the
choice ot the people of Pennsylvania
for the head of.'the ticket was John 121
kin, It is unnecessary at this time to re
view the means by which the .majority
which Klkin had among the delegates
up to Tuesday noon was converted ere
.Tucs&iy night .into a minority. The
eyes ot the Republicans ot the state
were upon those delegates who deliber
ately and without public explanation
violated instructions voted by the peo
ple; and when tho proper time comes
to settle for such tactics it may safely
be left to the people to see that justice
shull be done. -The sure fact of tbeslt
uatlon Is that Judge Pennypacker must
be acquitted of any part or knowledge
In the' manipulations leading up to the
breaking of pledged faith. Accepted by
the Insurgents in full knowledge of
.the circumstances of his nomination,
through a desire for harmony within the
party, it will not have to be said after
the November election that the stal
warts sulked. Their light ended at the
.convention. Today the Republican
party in Pennsylvania marches forward
with closed ranks to meet and battle
.With the common enemy.
John Klkin made a manly contest
within party lines and he will be found
equally manly In the hour of defeat,
ills time will come and It Is not far off.
Credit should also be expressed for the
plucky light of our townsman, Colonel
Wutr.es. He, too, can wait. In the
meantime, let our Democratic friends
'nominate former Governor Pattis-on if
they want to, and learn tho les.jon of
the pitcher that went once too often to
the well.

Of course there are two sides to every
question, but the most of' us "prefer to
look rtt one side only.
West Point.
THIC West Point centennial is
an event In which all Ameri
cans may take Just pride. As
an exclusively American ln
ntltutlon the famous military training
school has proved oaf' of the pillars of
the government by the people and has
enabled the United States with liasti.ly
rcjcrttlted citizen soldiers to defy the
standing armies of the old world, and
preserve our prcxtKo.ln every land. In
t ho Wars of 1SI2 audi In the Civil war,
as well as in the mciro recent engage
ments In Cuba and in the Philippines,
the value of tho West Point Instruction
has Jjcen apparent, and In every cam

trnlidtig at that Institution havo no

mauBcatatlons of superciliousness to
ward civilians a course which has In
flnrtinlque Stupidity.
N'K OP TI1K most nli'novlng
features ' ot the Martinique
disaster is tho fact that
through tho stupidity ot au
thorities at Fort de Prance, but very
little of tho relief so quickly contributed
has reached the parties for whom It was
Intended. Prof Hill, who has just re
turned to Washington, In his report
says:
"Tho only criticism Hint could bo
made concerning the outcome of the ex
pedition would be regarding the man
ner In which the relief was distributed
on the island. Notwithstanding the re
ports to the contrary, there was much
distress upon Martinique, and hnd our
supplies been distributed with the same
generosity by the local olllclals as that
with which they were given, much more
good would have been done. Tho gov
ernor and many of the prominent Island
officials having been killed by the dis
aster, the slowness of the relief was no
doubt due to Hie disorganized condition
ot affairs. The few patients In the local
hospitals who should have been the
chief beneficiaries of our charitable' ex
pedition, which contained every pos
sible article for tho relief ot the sick
and clothing enough to have clad the
population of the Island, did not re
ceive a single article which we carried.
And the two sailors from the Roralma
whom we brought back with us came
upon the Dixie almost nuked and had
to be supplied with clothes from the sail
ors' 'lucky bag.' The supplies brought
by the Dixie were simply stored In the
.warehouses. Many people ot the Island
are without shelter, while the tents we
carried remain unpacked. Anil when
we left but little of the relict was reach
ing the interior of the country, where
it was most needed."
In view of the shocking calamity that
lias rendered the survivors of tho Mont
Pelee eruption homeless and helpless, it
seems deplorable that the efforts nt re
lief so generously extended should have
been bumpered by the plg-hcudcdncss
of the ignorant petty officials; of the
coast who appear to havo been puffed
beyond endurance by a little brief
authority.
The report that New York Is to have
a permanent circus will cause surprise
In some quartets. Many .who have
been keeping track of municipal affairs
thought that one was In session there
already.
Prom testimony given It seems that
the water cure, like other remedies Is
not so harmful ir administered by Ju
dicious physicians.
Dr. Mark Twain will take a fresh grip
upon the public by embarking on a
farewell lecturing tour.
In any event we still have the refusal

"Pretty nearly every day tho public
Is regaled with accounts of alleged vol
canic 'eruptions' or nerve-shaking
earthquake 'thrills' In some portion of
the United States, t'ommonwealths as
far apart as Maine and Nebraska are
mentioned as the scenes of mysterious
and more or less terrifying seismic dis
turbances, while reports from distant
Hawaii and Alaska, where real vol
canoes undoubtedly do exist, describe
In rather vague language what pur
ports to be a series of manifestations
of nature's tremendous forces.
"So far as Hawaii Is concerned, there
is no quej-tlun that volcanic activity Is
an ordinary occurrence In certain local
ities, anil it is likewise unquestioned
that It bus attracted comparatively
little' attention In recent years. That
imaginative correspondents should now
try to Invest these habitual outbursts

plainly due to the Impression which has
been made on the popular mind by the
disasters In Martinique and St. Vincent.
As for Alaska. Its volcanoes have been
supposed for the most part to be either

TI1H ' declination of peace In South
Africa, which Is to be followed by
the reopening ot the greatest gold
priidticlng mines ot tho world and
presumably by a general revival of bus
iness in that greatest consuming section
of Africa, lends especial Interest to a
monograph entitled "Commercial Africa
In 1901," just Issued by the treasury bu
reau of statistics.
The commerce of Africa, according to
this publication of the bureau of statis
tics amounts to over $7,WD,nfi, ot which 12!)
millions rcprociiled the value of the im
ports. Nceessailly in fo large an area
with so many tribes and peoples who keep
no records of their transactions, a consid
erable niuf'tint of commerce must pass
without being recorded In any way. Tho
total Imports at the ports where records
are kept amounted In tlio latest available
year to $42!MWi.0.iQ. and thu oxpoi ts to
$2ii.l.M7,Ouo. Of tlio exports, large share,
especially those from the south, is jjold
and diamonds; In the tropical region.
Ivory, rubber," palm nuts, and gums; and
In the north a fair share or the exports
are products of agriculture, cotton, coffee,
cacao, spices, dates, etc. The export llu
urcs of recent years arc less than those
of former, ycyrs, owing to tlio hostllitlei
In South Africa, which have both le-
dticctl production and Increased local con
sumption.
About three-fourths of thes Imports of
Africa arc through the polls of the ex
treme north and south of the continent,
those at the north nelug for the consump
tion of the more densely populated re
gions bordering on the Mediterranean
and considerable quantities going to the
interior by caravan;- a large part across
the Sahara to the densely populated re
glons of the Sudan. At the south, n largo
share of the imports is, under mutual con
ditions, for .use at the gold and-diamond
mines, which lie a few hundred miles
north of the Cape, and are 1 cached by
railway lines from Cape Colony and Natal
at the south and from ports of Portuguese.
Hast Africa nu the southeast. The class
of Imports in the south differs materially
from that at tho north, the demand of tho
mining region being for machinery, mill
ing tool!?, dynamite, powder, flour, meats,
and clothing; while nt tho north cotton
goods, tobacco, spirits, clocks and trtultels
form a larger slime of the imports, as
Is also the ease on the coast of the trop
ica! reslons.
A vciy large proportion of the trade ot
Africa is with Kiiglnml. There are nu
merous reasons for this, the most impor
tant, however, being that her colonics
Cape Colony and Natal on the south are
tho avenues through which pass most nf
the goods for that section, and that a
very large share of the growing trade Is
nlso carried by Hiitlsh vessels, while tho
bulk of the mining, as woll an the stock
mining and general development of that
section, Is In tlio hands of Hiitlsh colon
ists or capitalists. In the north, a large
share of tho trade of lCgypt Is given to
Great Itrltnlu, whose Influence In the man
agement of Kgyptl.m affairs Is well recog
nised, while in Algeria, which has a large
trade, a very largo proportion Is with
Piniiee, the governing country.
The total recorded imports Into Africa,
aggregating In the latest available year
$I2!U'il,iH0, were distributed as follows:
Into HrltMi teriilory, $l."iii7,",i):i0; French
territory, $S2,(k)l,imo; Turkish territory,

Kimherly diamond mines, about tin) miles
from Ciipo Town, now supply about 9.1
per cent, of the diamonds of commerce,
although their existence was unknown
prior to lKi',7, and the mines have thus
been in operation about thlrt years. It
Is estimated that JS.Vj.ikhi.o.i.1 worth of

"What does It mean to have ;i,0H0,0,K) men

$1,800,000,00 11 year In wages, of $11,000,000,.
too lu live years. That Is more than all
tho gold and sliver In the world. It
means (for tlio live years) a loss of $J,000
each to ;l,ooo,eoo families, uud $:).oiVl will
pay for a lot of food, a lot of clothes, a
jut of education and a lot of comfort. Ho
sides this, for those who bad work, there
wero short hours, short weeks, short
months nnd icduced wages. Our fanners
nlso lost $1,300,000,000. Five years of pro
