The Republican meeting in Philadel phia laxt week was an outburst of old time Republican enthusiasm. The anti-McDowell Republicans of the Twenty-fifth district have nominated Thomas W. Phillips for Congress. The Herald takes off its hat to the Hon. William McKinlcy this morning. It was a hard but a winning fight that lie made. Tub Democrats will sxn find to their cost that Thomas IS. Reed on the stump is not less formidable than Thomas B. Heed in the Speaker's chair. The Union Labor party met in con vention at Philadelphia on Wednesday and nominated T. P. Rj nder, of Centre county, for IJovernor. Rememrkk that (Vtober 4th is the last day for the payment of poll tax. If you desire to vote at the ensuing olection, at tend to this important matter. The citizrusof Meadville have issued an address in which they declare their iinboanded confidence in Candidate Delamater as a citizen and as a represen tative. Pattisok's extra session folly cost the Ptate more than half a million of dollars. The people will not be likely to again elect a man so destitute of common Dense.

The Republican Congressional Confer ne for this district re-convened at Eb- nsborg Tuesday evening. A nomina tion should surely he made before an other adjournment is had. W'k hare never bad a stronger county ticket, and it is the duty of every Repub lican to rally to its support. It is worthy to win, and honest, earnest, loyal support will elect every man on it by a hand some majority. Secretary of the Commonwealth C W. Stone bus been nominated by the Republicans of the Twenty-seventh dis trict lor Congress, to succeed the late Iewis F. Watson. A strong and wise nomination. TnE Prohibition State Committee met in Harrisburg Wednesday and nominat ed John D. Gill, of Westmoreland coun ty, for Governor, in place of Charles Miller, who defined to run. Gill is a lawyer an 1 r. is formerly a Democrat Every 's ' bundle of facts" proved to be .bundle of old straw that he bad thresh ed last spring, hen be was trying to pre vent Delamater's nomination by the Re publican convention. He simply thresh ed over the old straw in his Friday night's speech in the Bradford opera lionse. Ti Wrpe number of Republican mem ber of the House w bom the Democratic papers have for months past been pro claiming would oppose the Tariff bill on iu final passage, failed to materialize eUturday, when the bill passed the li aise. There were only three Republi cs members of that body present wbo did not vote for the bill. It is a fact, all the same, that the Phil adelphia Bank of which Pattison is pres ident, now holds f 100,000 of the State's funds. William Uhler Hensel did not know this when he tried to make a point against Delamater by saying that bis Meadville Bank held State money. Mr. llenset cow knows more than he did, and be wishes that he had put Lis hand over his noath. Mayor friari deserves high com mendation, snd not censure, lor his sirosapt and -flicient conduct in prevent ing an asseiMage of Anarchist Jews in "Brooklyn, wt proposed to make a pub lic deinoustra oU against the laws and gainst the g-roment that gives them st place of rtfqp and freedom to pursue avny honeat ca.ing.

The old soldiers hare not forgotten Mr. TaUison's Yeto of the Soldiers' Burial bill. They know that his sediments are that Potter's Held if good enough for any old veteran who may die without leaving the means for decent burial. Mr. Pattison has pat himself on record, and not even the most skillful campaign orator would dream of making a defence for him in the matter. It is one of those delicate subjects which Democratic speakers do not care to touch ojxm. But the veterans need no re minder. It is indeliblyCimpresed on their memories, and they will return jpcod for evil in November by givirjg Mr. I'rtltison a decent burial at the polls. Ex-SexAToB Emery should have gone through the commendable formality of examining himself to see whether he was loaded before be took the road against candidate Ielamater. Had he done so he would have refrained from making the pitiful exhibition of his own weakness and cowardice that he made at the Bradford opera home Fri lay night. So far as producing the slightest scintilla of proof of the grave charges he had pre viously brought against Senator Delama Ur, be failed miserably, and simply sltowed himself to be a shameless slan derer and detractor of character. If the Iemocrats can get any comfort out of the Emery fiasco, they are welcome to it. If they count on that sort of rot winning Republican votes to Pattison, they will find hbw grievous has been their mis tike when they see the size of his oppo nent's majority. Another of the many leuiocratic vet erans who do not intend to assist in electing Robert E. Pattison Governor of Pennsylvania, is Major W. C. James, of Warren. In a recent interview with a reporter for the Philadelphia I'm he gives his reasons why he ami many of Lis comrades in the Northwestern por tion of the State w ill refuse this year to support the party candidate. He ar raigns Mr. Pattison on his record as Gov ernor, claiming that not in a single in stance did he fail to show his hate of the veterans of the war by interposing his veto of all measures passed by the Legislature in the interest of the soldier. Every bill to grant a pension to a soldier, every bill to bestow a gratuity on a sol dier's widow, or a bill to compensate a soldier for some special act or special misfortune, was met with that inexor able opposition. "Think of it," says Major James, "Pattison vetoed more bills passed by the Legislature in the interest of the soldier than the entire number of bills of every kind vetoed by Curtin, Geary, Ilartranft and IIoyL Ko wonder the soldiers are down on him. No won der tbbt the tide is setting in against him, and that the old soldiers are pre paring to do some vetoing themselves on election day in November." The Warren county veteran declares that nineteen out of every twenty Demo cratic soldiers of his acquaintance would vote against Mr. lVHioon because of his record. Tha Trail of the Snake. Ex-Oovemor Pattison, tu a speech at Reading last week, thus sp jkeof t'.it high est du'y of the Gorrmr: "Afier four years' experience in the Exec utive otlire I van ilelilirnticly fny that the ruoxt iiiipurtfit ami luborioui July the Uov enior ha to rfiriu i the careful uvutiny of the leis-laiinn w-nt to hiru ; to be ever on the alert to ktrike down with his veto every act that has the stamp of tlie boss and the trail of the snake it mil i. The rood the highest good lie an acr-omplish for the people will be the evil el. met menu he pre vents." One of the meauns which Pattison was "on the alert to ktrike down with his veto," as an "evil enactment," was the bill pro viding f-r (be burial ot destitute soldiers by the county. If we look tr the "trail of tbe snake," however, w shall not find it on this bill, but on tlie Governor's veto. Prora bee inning to end tbe veto message shows tbe unmUlakable trail of the copiierbfad. PRESS COMMENTS. From tbe Wilmington Observer. Pennsylvania needs a man of strong char acter in ber executive chair. We have tbe testimony of Colonel McClure that Pattison is not that kind of a man. Tbe progress of tbe campaign leads all more and more to the belief chat Senator Delamater is. His personal canvass has strengthened him im mensely. He bas a good face and leaves a good imprecfion 0Kn all be meet. From the Braver Times. The Greensbnrg Tribune (R.) predicts that Delamater's majority in the entire State will be the (oajori'y of Allegheny county, what ever it may be, multiplied by seven. Figur ing on tbe basis of last year and it can hardly be much lowered at tbe very worst would make it 35,000 ; and going on the basis of thirty years ago, when "Old Abe" dubbed it the ''State of Allegheny," it would swrll tbe majority up to 70.0UU. You can take your choice, and see bow it pans out on tbe morning of tbe 5th of November. Form the Johnstown Tribune. A Republican is one who believes some- thing and believes It as strongly in "oft years" as be does when the bands are play ing in Presidential campaigns. He is honest and earnest in bis convictions, but tolerant toward his opponents. He doesn't keep his index finger on the public pulse all tlie time and get scared out of his boots every time that it beats irregularly. While tbe good party has its faults, like the sun with its spots, and as is human, errs occasionally, he dors not lor this reasoa deem it wise to Join an old Prty which is worse, or any new party which In the nature of things is not likely to be any better. He kicks when bid men or corrupt met bods compel him to, but be does not sulk simply and solely because la (he lottery of politics hs or his friends drew a Hank. A Party Without art Issue. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The very able managers of the esteemed democratic party seem lo be having a perk of trouble in finding an issue. What is the matter are they unequal to the task, or have they beeo sunk beneath the torrents of abase that they aa pouring oat upon tbe repoblicen leaders? So far their campaign has baea one of sVander alone. Can't they find any better ground to gbt on than charge that have no battar foundation than tbe imaginations of a fanatical brain, la it possible that out of so many brilliant minds not a topic worth considering can be evolv ed? . I it possible that of all tbe great sub ject of burning interest to tbe people not one of them caa command the attention of tbe democratic campaign orator ? Is it pos sible that the candidate tor governor, Mr. Pattison, tas nothing to say beyond a mere essay on politics? Is it possible that of all the vary able gentlemen in command of tbe dmmoawue party Mr. Black alone bas any ids to ef press, and the only ideas that be bas ant ou a topis Uiat his party is decidedly baky npon. But, after all, perhaps it is not the fault of bt esteemed democrats that tbey art not In H'aJf? i; EQ.

Terythlnij that, thef JiilRht lllite tli M rh'jch betlSr thai they uhd trithiselvffl with out an inch of grOjnd to stand Bftrrt. There art1 plenty of tbinrs that tbe people Would doub:iess like to nave the abl democratic orators' tllk about. For instance, there is tbe subject of equalization of taxation. That is a subject of burning importance to all farmers, but if the atrmer wtl H bear from tlte democrats where tbey stand on Uiat question tbey will be waiting until long after Delamater is installed in office and is engaged in doing practical work to carry out his Dromises of aid. and then they will be heard from only in opposition. Tbey sim ply have no Idea on taxation that are worth listening to. Tbe platform adopted at the convention at bcranton got in a vaf is men tion of the issue, but no one seemed to un derstand it and the result wsa of the usual indefinite kind when demxrata nadsrtaka to pose as reformers. - But if esteemed orators, Including Mr. Pattison, are unable to talk about taxation what is the matter with tbe question of a secret ballot ? No one on tbe democratic side seems to have beard about that topic except Mr. Black, and be is kept so bosjrCtrying lo explain why he is tbe only democrat in fa vor of the Australian system that be has lit tle time to go into ecstscies over bis pet bob by. He likes to talk about it, but b has some difficulty in accounting for tbe sad tsct that his party thought so very little of bis plan that it knocked out his carefully drawn indorsement calling for a constitutional con vention and adopted a couple of lines mere ly referring to the subject, Mr. Black, there fore, finds himself in a party all by himself. a discovery which is common to several other democrats. In fact, he isn't much of a democrat in these days who basnt got a party all of hia own. Ob, no, tbe democrats won't talk about ballot reform. Tbey might indeed, have something to say about free trade, if they would, for on that topic they put themselves on record at their convention and invited the issue, but as is the case with every other lopic, they seem to have got thoroughly frightened, and don't care to dis cuss their plans for the ruin of the Indus tries of Pennsylvania. We submit in all Csirness that tbe demo cratic party ought to make itself heard on something, if only for the sake of appear ance. Dear democrats, isn't there some topic under the rays of the genial sun that you know something about and that you can discuss? Haven't you one single idea for the advancement of the fanner, tbe laborer, the welfare of this great commonwealth? Don't you know that taxes ought to be equalized and that tbe republican are pledg ed to carry out the reform? Don't you know that tbe republican candidate for gov ernor tbe one the people intend to elect is in favor of ballot reform, and that tbe coming republican legislature is instructed by the republican party Iu convention as sembled to see that the reform is accomplish ed? Don't you understand that the repub lican party is the party of protection ? Don't you see that tbe republicans are ready and anxious to express themselves on any topic that you can suggest for the improvement of the people? Is it possible that you have not one iilea that rises superior to the outrageous scandals furnished you by tbe free trade newspaper of New York? Haven't yon one original idea of your own ? If you have let us have it, and the republican orators will meet you on the stump, snd tbe repub lican candidate for governor w ill boldly face any argument that you can possibly pro duce. If yon hsve not, why not be honest enoush to confess that the republicans have met every issue, have gone you one better, and, as usual, have left yon side-tracked on the Tails of defeat? Up to date your cam paign has been one of false pretense entirely. Have you nothing better to offer than per sonal abuse? Is that the idea of argument that you have? If this is the best you can do, why did yon ever open headquarters, and why did your chairman desert bis duties iu Washington to run a confidence game in Pennsylvania ? The Work of Congress. Wamiixutos, Sept. 28. Tbe record of tbe business of the first seoaion of the fifty-first Congress is an importaut one. The actual work accomplished by this Congress is of es pecial interest, because it it the first Con gress in many years in which one pf the two great political parties bas had control of both the legislative and executive branches of tbe Government. A change in rates of custom duties bas practically been brought about, a number of very important changes in exist ing law having been agreed to iu conference and approved by the House. Tbey need now only the approval of the Senate and of tbe President. The feature of tbe new Tar iff bill which has attracted widest attention and which bore greater significance, from the fact that it threatened for a time to cre ate a division in the Republican party, was tbe provision for the establishment of recip rocal relations between the United States and Latin-American countries. Next in important t t)i new tariff law is tbe silver legislation enacted by Cungrcss, On July U a new taw went into effect, pro viding for tbe issue of coin certificates, baaed on gold or silver bullion, witb a requirement thai tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury should purchase -(,500,000 ounces of silver bullion each month. Tbeeffjct of tbe new silver law was an immediate advance in the price of silver, culminating at a figure higher than any known in history. The promise of tbe Republican party made in the last campaign tbal more liberal pen sion legislation would be enacted, was ful filled in tbe passage of the Disability Pen sion act, under which a pension of $11 a month is given to any soldier who is now disabled from whatever cause. The addition of four new stars to tbe flag fSi'le by the last Congress bas been supple merited at this sejuioii by the admission into the Union i.f tbe states of Wyoming and Idahs. Other important laws enacted were lb anti-Lottery law, the anti-Trust law, the Lsnd Grant Forfeiture act, the World' Fair act and the Meat Inspection law. These were tbe more important laws. A large number of other bills and joint resolutions were passed, and aereral other important measures are banging fire wblab Busy go to tbe President before adjournment. The Republican members of tbe Senate have pledged themselves to vote on a propo sition to change tbe rules of tb Senate for the express purose of making possible the pasraj-e of the Federal Elections bill at the next session.

But the Re publican party was burn fighting. Iu very best lustory ha been a battle-fletCVs, civic as well as military. It is bf tbe very essence of its existence and of its composition tbst it should do battle, for tbe Republicnn party means a forward movement of the people of the United States. It Las never been neces sary for the Democratic party iu my time to do any fighting except during the civil war, and we have just rome from a scene which reminded men who were in Washing ton in the early days of Republican rule of tbe scenes then and there. Oa the Demo cratic side for the last week we have been treated to etnjity benches. Tbey hsve not been visible, and I want you to understand tbe occasion for what tbey undoubtedly re gard as a magnificent uprising. Tbe Repub lican party, so far as the House of Represen tatives is concerned, has done what we re gard as great deeds. We have passed a tariff bill which, more than any other in our his tory, secures tbe American market to the American people. Tbe bill has been tbe subject or denunciations almost too bitter to be put upon record. According to them the bill and the principle which it represents has carried desolstion into every farm bouse in tbe country. It has covered three deep with mortgages every acre of land in the growing West. It threatens to destroy the country. Yet tbe Democratic party while that bill was being passed sat in their seats and were counted, and never a niormer escaped them. W issued another bill of which I shall apeak later in proper, suitable, and, truthful, and, therefore, un Democratic language. Thi was a bill, they say. to destroy the lib erties of the South, meaning thereby tbe sacred right to stun" ballot-boxes and cheat the negro out of bis vote. They said that it meant untold, unspeakable ruin to the peaceful and lovely 8outh. It meant the h mowing up of tbe tenderest feelings of that most affectionate people. It meant tbe ruin of their homes and tbe desolstion of their hearthstones. ' It meant - bayonets at tbe polls and despotism enthroned throughout tbe land, and they sat there as sweet as sum mer comparatively no begin, no departure, or, to use a word more familiar to them, no secession. Time would fail me to enumer ate tbe wicked deeds which they were pa tient about, but when it came to seating a negro wbo bad been elected by the people, tbe Democratic side of the House of Repre sentatives rose as one man and departed. But they have come back, resembling the Prodigal Son, however, only on external ap pearances. My friends, it is such simple incidents as these which prevent the Democrats from "pointing with pride" to tbe history of their party. It is that which makes them vociferous in their expressions of feeling when we speax of the history of the United States for tbe last twenty-five years; for, whenever we do it, they have a conscious ness, deep, penetrating, that we are pointing witb pride to the history of the Republican party. , But, ray friends, tbe great thing in this world is Uie people. Tbey make and un make parties. , They create history ; tbey govern and move, and tbe people of the United States sre alone responsible for its government, and it is their business to know and act up to this responsibility. This fall, very soon, there will be an expression of opinion by tbe people, not a full, free and frank expression, because in thirty districts of this Union opinions of the people will be suppressed. And it is necessary for you to be on tbe Lord's side more hesvily on that account We have not onlv trot to beat con servatism In its worst form, but we have to beat fraud besides. $ow. when the fight comes on if Pennsylvania going to be dis tinguished by absentees? Is that great State to be found anywhere except in tlie front with full ranks ? Not if you mean progress, Not if you mean Republicanism. Not if you mean to rule the United States by a Congress present snd acting. We look to you, and hitherto we have not looked in vain. Republicanism is good enough for every day in the year, and every year in tbe cata logue. Do you want bonest legislation? Do yon wtpt a House of Representatives which intends to transact the business of the country? It lies in your power to say so, and in your power alone. We can no longer falter in tbe work. This nation has grown to be a nation of 65.000,000 of people. It is no longer a cation that can listen to orations fifty-eight hours long. It is a natjon that wants business and not Ian- ! gusge. Do you believe that every man in this country wbo is entitled under the Constitu tion and tbe law of that land to psrticipata in tbe government of the country sball bsve his vote cast, and hava it counted as catt? If you do, it is your business to see to it that ucb a House of Representatives is chosen ss will ratify, support and sustain the present House of Representatives. It Is very dis couraging in this world to see bow small a percentage of actual results come from the most splendid victories. Some grv at general bas said, "There is only one thing worse than victory, and that is defeat" Here we fought tbe great struggle for tbe liberties of men. We culminated it by a constitutional amendment, putting in the organic law of tbe country the doctrine that every citizen of the United States should be entitled to participate in the government of the coun try. 4nd yet to da Jhere is sjtting (or was tlw othr day) a ooftviiuon in the sU-e pf Uistissippi, PPP Pf tnt States of thi Union, where every orator prupliiimed bis determi nation, and the determination of every otl-cr white man belonging to bis party, right or wrong, to invent some method to disfran chise the negro f to destroy a large portion of tbe voting population of this country who sra entitled to vote, as every one of these men admit, under the Constitution of tbe United wUtre. There i spectacle for you. Tbsee gentlemen openly and in the face of everybody declare that tbey intend to disfranchise voters of this country. Why, there bas never been a word of denial on the part of these men as to their purpose and action throughout the South. D jron mean, my friends to allow the Southern white man, simply because he ia a Southern man, to count more than you do in tb government of this country ? Cries of "No." Do you mean that ha shall have increased representation so that he shall be of more weight than tome of us? You know yon don't mean It. Now, my friend, U only remains for me to repeat the exhortation which I have already given you. Everything depends upon you. Do your duty., Do it now. I know you mean to stand np to your duty, so that when we get tbe news of your election we shall find that Pennrylvanis, in her old, hearty laahlon, bas kept to tbe failb.

Tbe increase of jopnlalion from 60,155.783 in 1880, to ClA'w.OoO in lt, or about 14,- 000,000 in teu yn, of itself is equal to the entire populatior of Brazil, three times more than that of Camda, or as much as that of Canada and Me:ico together. To have fur nished this incretse would have completely depopulated Noiway, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark and Iortugal. Yet each of these countries are, st home, reckoned' of no little importance Thus the nation which a century ago modestly asked to be recognized in tlie map of the world is now exceeded in population only by Russia, India and China, and of its vast population !l percent bas accrued since IS). It would seem as if the people of the world had accepted in good faith the general invitation cf the song to Come along, and make no del.iy." Of material industries, only three reports have been published, and of those wo are of lojal or minor importance. Quicksilver, tbe production of which is confined mostly to California, employs in its production less than a thousand operators and $1,400,000 of capital. The annua! yield seems to be diminishing somewhat, though the operations of last year have been con ducted at a profit of $300,000. The world' aggregate annual production of this metal waj generally lessened in tbe last decade, and tbe United States, which in 130 furnished one-half of the product, still furnishes more than three-eights. Slate for building material and other pur poses, employed in its production, in 1S89, about 6,000 operatives and $4,00n,0OOof capi- ital, yielding a product in value of about 13,500,000 at a net profit of over $ji0.00a on the capital employed. More than two thirds of the capital was employed in the State of Pennsylvania, and the total value of the output of 1889 is more than double that of 181. Pig :ron, a product of great and growing importance, shows a yield in 1890 of 9,500, UO0 tons as compared with 3,781.000 tons in 18S0, and 2,o.2.0M0 tons in 1ST0. Of thi pro duction about one-balf comes from Penn sylvania, fourteen per cent from Ohio and nine per cent from Alabama, and the rest mainij from the Central Northern States. In Alabama, the production between tbe dates mentioned has risen from f2,000 to nearly 900.000 tons per annum. The price of this metal per ton has meanwhile dimin ished from $li.30 per ton in IBS' J, to only $17.75 per ton in 1339, but in 18iJ Was ad vanced to about $25 per ton, and the indus try is flourishing with profit to tbe labor and capital employed, of which, however, no statistics is yet given. The value of the p'g iron produced in 1880 at the high price sta ted, was $10u',.jGS,oO0, while in 1890 it was $237,5o,0OO, an increased value of product ol $130,932,000, though at a decreased price rxr ton. In 1830 this country imported of pig iron 55,000 tons, which at the rate stated above, had a total value of $21,5X1.000. In 18G9 there was imported 177,000 tons, which at tbe rate given, would have had a value of only j,ik,uoo. ine importations of lS'JU are not yet reported. Great lirilain, which hitherto bas led the orld in the production of pig iron, reports yield of this metal for 18) of only 9,321,- 0 o tons or about 200,000 tons less than the product of he United States in 1889, and only SoOgOtM more tons than its product of 18-jO. The wonderful expanse of this industry during the last decade cannot fail to have a marked effect upon the economic condition of the country, requiring as it does an in creased army of laborers, and the product of this labor, if converted into manufactured articles in this coqntry, would employ still another army of laborers, and it ia doubtless to such an increase of material industries and the employment of laborers therefrom, that the great tide of emigration is absorbed in our midst, with no disturbance to the conditions of the coqntry, and that the mar ket for our agricultural products is found nearer and nearer to oqr doors. The increase in the wealth of ths country is also shown by tbe marked decrease in public and local indebtedness which must eventually give great relief in reduction of taxation throughout tbe country.

As tbe total municipal indebtedness in 1380 was only $U7,45S,OuO, the debt reports of remaining municipalities for 189J can hardly increase the aggregate absve $700, 000,000, and this amount would make the total indebtedness of the United States, io m $1,035,517,790, against $J,&!jO,WI,s75 io 1MJ, a reduction in aggregate indebtedness during tbe decade of $1,031,317,079. As in tbe Southern Stati there was repudiated during that period of State debt $28,523,103. the net reduction of debt by taxation or in crease In value of assets can be stated for the decade in round numbers at $1,000,000 ,009 or $1,000,000 per annom. What nation of ancient or modern times can show such a voluntary taxation in order to relieve itself from debt and especially from a debt the holders of which did not desire its liquida tion ? Like annual payments, if continued, would pay off tbe entire National, State and county and municipal debt io less than twenty years and each payment of the installment would become easier through the reduction of the annual interest charge and tbe increase or wealth and population. This growth of the country has occurred under the governing policy of the Republi can party, for their opponents while in pow er could find few or no changes they dared or were able to make therein, which policy has been simply that of protection to Ameri can industries. Future publication of tbe results or tbe Eleventh Census will show that industries other than that of pig iron have been equally aa flourishing and that the alarm feu in European countries at tb loss of lopulalion and of markets for their products it not groundless. Bat If this ifTYi t? country .through the protective iariir can manufacture its own goods about as cheaply as they can be brought here as in the case of pig iron, and at tbe same time through the employment of operatives for this purpose furnish markets for agricultural products at. home, thussaving freight charges, it is bard to see upon what ground Democrats can de mand free trade.

We have been kept so terribly buy this sum mer, however, in selling our Pianos, and or gans, and Barj., and Mandolins, and Gui tars, and Brass Hoi ns and SUeet Music, that we actually found no time to get up an ex hibit for this year's show. However, we propose to give our customers the benefit of this great saving, so that anyone wbo will buy a Piano, or Organ, or any other instru ment during tbn continuance of the Fair, will get tbe benefit of an extra reduction in price of goods or 5 and 10 per cent. Visitors to. tbe show can therefore roske some $50 by calling on H. Kleber & Bro's Music Store, 5oG Wood Street, and buying one of their instruments. Kleber' s is the oldest Music Store west of tbe mountains snd the iiiOst reliable one too. They give a full warrantee for 8 and 10 years, and sell on easy time payments. Ninety persons out of a hundred would rather trust to Mr. Kleber's choice than to run the rise ol the sharp tricks practiced by so many music dealers. Kleber & Bro., have kept a Music Store for fifty years, and tbey bad the first choice of all the Pianos and Organs in tbe country, leaving the indifferent and poor ones to be picked up by the other music dealers. They are the sole agents for the famous Stein way, Conover, Gabler, Cpera and Emerson Pi anos, also for the wonderful Vocation Church Organs, and the mouse and dust proof Earhuff Parlor Organs. Anything in the music line which you cannot get at Kleber's is not worth having. Don't fail lo call at Kleber's, then, 506 Wood St, three doors above 5th ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.
