FOR PtXiR HOUSE II RECTOR, JOSEf-H L. MILLER, of Homernt Twp. The Democratic Bute Convention meets at Harrixburg to-morrow (Thurs day), the Srdinst The first gun fired by McKinley in Ohie was a stunner. The Democratic candidate for Governor immediately took to his bed and has been shaking ever since. Major Mi Kislet is forcing the fight ing in Ohio on the silver question, and the Iteaaocrats are dancing around, blow ing their burnt fingers and howling that they didn't mean to do it. Gkoveb Cleveland says he bas faith in Governor Campbell's re-election iu Chio this year. If the ex-President will read his L.je he can learn that "faith without works is dead." The dissensions in the Farmers' Alli ance in Mississippi has reached the fight ing stage, and the high mucky-mucks of the organiiation are thumping and club bing each other right merrily. The Superintendent of the census esti mates the absolute wealth of the United State at f 62,610,000,01s, or f 1,000 per capita, as against $S70 per capita in 1850, Pennsvlvania s Tier capita valuation is 1493.12, an increase of 54.02 per cent, in the last ten years, while the increase of population is 22.77 per cent The census reports show that Pennsyl vania bas a little over five and and quar ter millions of people. Since 1S80 she Las increased almost twenty-three per vent Out of the sixty-seven counties in the State twelve have retrograded, though in these the decrease does not exceed nine per cent Taken altogether, the State is easily holding its own among the sister Commonwealths. Dkmochatic contemporaries are com plaining that Major McKinley talks sil ver, rather than the tariff, in Ohio. The Ohio Democrats put a fool plank in their platform favoring unlimited silver coin age; their candidate for Governor repu diates it, and they are now trying to run away from the issue they invited. No woneer they dont want McKinley to talk and "knock the stuffin' out of if Are you on the list? If not, see to it that you are registered before Thursday next, September 3rd. If you are notf you cannot vote at the next election. The new law requires that voters must make a personal application to the as sessora friend or neighbor cannot have yon registered. See to it at once that jo are properly registered, and call the attention of your Republican neighbor to the necessity of seeing that he is on the list Commissioner Rath, in a late letter to an Inquiring Congressman, says there are 900 ,000 pension claims of various descrip tions on file in his office, and that they Are being disposed of at the rate of 30,000 a month. At this rate it will take three years to clear the files, not counting the many thousand of new claims that will Ve filed. The claimants can understand from this statement why there is so much delay in reaching their cases. The Governor of Vermont has notified Hon. Redfield Proctor, Secretary of War, that on the 1st day of November next he will appoint him as United State Sena tor, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Senator Edmunds. This will occasion a vacancy in the Cabinet bat the President has an abundance of sjood material from which to make a choice. Mr. Proctor has made an able Secretary of War, and be will make a Senator of whom his State can be proud. Ora Democratic Secretary of the Com monwealth, Mr. Harrity, has been airing his views of the coming State election through the public press. He says that all conditions are favorable to Democrat- 1 ic access. This is simply in pursuance of the old Democratic custom of "claim ing everything in sight" Mr. Harrity knows that the Republican party is thor oughly united, that its candidates are Acceptable to the entire party, and that the only consideration among them is one of majority. Is his speech at Albany President Harrison let fall a few golden words on the silver question. He said: "I am one of those who believe that these men from your shops, these farmers, remote from money centres, have the largest in terest of all people in the world in hav ing a dollar that is worth 100 cents every day in the year, and only such. If by any chance we should fall into a condi tion where one dollar is not as god as another, I venture the assertion that that poorer dollar will do its first errand in paying some poor laborer for his work. Therefore, in the conduct of public af fairs, Jed pUdjtd, jar one, that all the iaJoenceof the government should be on the aide of giving the people only good money, and jut a much of that kind as we can get" While Rpiiator Teffer, Jerry Simpson and other "calamity howlers" are going op and down the land bewailing the poverty-stricken condition of the Kansas farmers, the Topeka Capital tells us that during the month of July the farmers of sixty Kansas counties reduced their mortgaged indeDtednees a little more than $330,000. "If with last jaaj'. "Bort crops the farmers have been able to do this," comment the Kansas City Journal, "what will they be able to do with this year's enormous crops and high prices ?" In honest truth, there is nothing to pre vent a bright future for Kansas, except the false and lying statements of such men as the prophets of eril, who have done much to impair the credit of the State by their threats of repudiation and allegations that ber people are little bet ter than aupers. It will take years to correct the mistakes of these blundering politicians, who, for selfish ends, Lave .repaired the credit and reputation of the State. The investigation into State Treasury afiairs by the Joint Legislative Commit tee most have been disappointing to Mr. Fow. That gentleman and some other Democratic members of the Legislature intimated that some crookedness could be found in the Treasurers office if it was sou zht for in the right way. The search was diligently prosecuted and the money counted. The books were found to Dai anr and the State's cash was all in the derjositories. Mr. Fow himself and Senator Monaghan carefully exam ined and compared the sworn return of the Treasurer with the individual bank accounts in the books, and at the conclu sion Mr. Fow stated that they had com pared both the sinking fund and general account and found everything correct They found the system of book-keeping adopted by the State Treasury tnrougn, complete and accurate in every respect, and felt impelled to praise Air. coyer. The insinuations of irregularities in the Treasurer's office bad no basis of fact. They were all wind. The result of the investigation is at once gratifying to the people ef the State and complimentary to Mr. Boyer. Is his able speech on silver, made at Paulding, Ohio, last week, Senator John Sherman clearly states tha object of the law passed by the last Congress legard ing the coinage of silver in the follow ing manner: To protide a market for our silver and for r.r a ikfitt ounce of fine silver each i. .kinff .ra (Km uu ounces year, kv its market value, and upon tne swuni, u. thi to issue legal tender lreasury now- r the full amount of tiie com oi ui thus triving a stable market for all and more of the silver produced in the I nited States. and at the same unit iuiuui people an increase of circulating money ereater than the increase of our population. I now believe the measure will work out the .;iu.rm imodnantv wun eom. n has alreadv advanced the value of our vast f .iiVer in the Treasury. It has fur- ninbed an increase of circulation. It has maintained the gold standard while utilizing and benefitting silver to tha utmost extent short of demonetizing gold. It is the key to our exalted, almost pre-eminent standing in commercial credit and national honor amour the nations of the world. It treats both silver and gold, like all other commod ities or productions, as subject to the univer sal rule of being worth what they will bring in the markets of the world. Then he proceeds to define the effect of free coinage, tersely and lucidly, as follows : Free coinage means that we shall purchase not merelv OW.OW oonces a month, but all the silver that is offered, come from where it may, if presented in quantities of 100 ounces at a time. We are to give to the holder either coin or Treasury notes, at his option, at the rate of $1 for every 371 grains, now worth in the market 77 cents. ho can es timate the untold hoards of silver that will come into the Treasury if this policy is adopted ? All of this will be represented by our Treasury notes an increase of the national debt These arguments should at once attract the attention of the farmers and laborers of the country, who will derive no bene fit whatever from the unlimited coinage of silver, for the simple reason that they will receive pay for their products and labor in eilver dollars with less purchas ing power, while the capitalists and spec ulators nay protect themselves by stipu lating for geld payments. Cregg Politics. From the Harrisburf Telegraph. Whe Delegate Plank, from Reading arose in the Rep'jrJ'can State Convention and as sailed the Republicanism of General Gregg, he evidently did not know what he was tal king about He said that General Gregg bad reiwatedly and recently voted the Demo cratic ticket This was a miserable lie, and worthy of a despicable time-server who de manded a better-paying office as the price of his keeping his mouth off General Gregg. Siliy Democratic organs all over the State at once took up the cry "Gregg is a Democrat!" and they affected to be in high glee over what they termed a Republican blunder. Was it a blunder? Well, not much. The editor of the Scranton RfiMica, anxious to set at rest for good all these stories about the gallant Gregg, wrote to him and asked him pointedly concerning their truth. Here u General Gregg's letter in reply : "Reapiho, Pa.. Auk. 25. ml.

On the return home of the brothers they organised s gang of men who overtook the robbers, wbo had fled to the mountains, and brought them to town this evening.

SHERMAN'S SPEECH ON SILVER. Th Veteran Ohio Senator Makes a Strong Address at Paulding. PArLDtjw, C August 27. A big crowd greeted Senator Sherman here to-day. The Senator's speech was principally devoted to the silver question. He said : rpoo two great oeature of public poli cy the Republican and Democratic parties have made a format and distinct issue, and these are to be submitted to the people of Ohio in November, and your decision will have a marked effect upon public opinion throughout the United States. One is wheth er the holder of silver bullion may deposit it In the Treasury of the United States and de mand and receive for U one dollar of coined money for every 371 grains of fiae silver de posited. The market value of so much sil ver bullion is now about 77 cents, varying, however, from day to day like other com modities, sometimes mors and sometimes less. The other question is whether the policy of taxing imported good by the Gov ernment of the United States, embodied in our existing tariff, is a wise public policy or whether it should be succeeded by what is called a tarriff for revenue only as embodied in what Is known as the Mills bill, which passed the House of Representatives In 1888 and was rejected by the Senate. "Now these measures affect directly the business interests, the hit and work and labor and nrooertv of everr Inhabitant of the United States, from the humblest toiler to tbelgreatest capitalist in all hi multiplied employment of human life, and every grade of human industry. Surely such questions ought to be considered free from party bias or beat or excitement and solely with a view to promote the greatest good of the greatest number. Under our free system of government there U no way to determine them except by the judgment of the people authorixed to vote, each yoter having an nual voice through reoresentatives chosen by tbem, either directly by ballot or mo redly through the legislature of the sev eral States. Now. you all know that the money in circulation in the United State all of it is good, ss good as gold. It will pass every where and bay as much at the same amount of anv other money in the world. Our money is of many kinds gold, silver nickel and copper are all coined into money. Then we have United 8 La tea notes, or greenback, gold certificates, Treasury notes and Nation al bank notes. But the virtue of all these many kinds of money is thst they are all mod. A dollar of each is a goods a dollar of any other kind. All are a good as gold, But and here comes the first difficulty, the silver in the silver dollar is not worth much as tha gold in the gold dollar. The nickel in that coin is worth but a small part of 5 cents worth of silver. And the copper in the cents ia not worth one-fifth of the nickel in a 5-cent piece. How then, you may ask me, can these coins be made equal to each other? The answer is that coinage is a Government monopoly, and though the copper in 5 cents is not worth a nickel, and the nickel in 20 pieces is not worth a silver dollar, and the silver in 16 dollars is not worth l'i dollars in gold, yet ss the Govern ment coins them, and receives them, and maintains them at par with gold coin, tbey are, for all purposes, money equal to each other, and wherever, they go, even into foreign countries, they are received and paid out a equivalent. -Tte reason of all this is that the United States limit the amount of all the coins to be issued except gold, which being the most valuable, ia coinod without limit If coin age of all these metals was free, and any bolder of copper, nickel, silver or gold could carry it to the mint to be coined, we would hove no money but copper and nickel, be cause they are the cheaper metals, worth less than one-fourth of what a coin, they purport to be. For the asms reason, if the coinage of silver was freest the ratio of 10 of silver to 1 of gold, no gold would be coin ed, because 1G ounces of silver are not worth one ounce of gold. A bolder of both silver and gold would take his silver to the mint and get a dollar for every 371 grains. He would sell hi gold in the market or export it and get 23 per cent more dollar for gold than be could at the mint As a matter of course he would not take hi gold to the mint" The Senator then spoke of the purchase by the Government of silver bullion, and speak' ing of free coinage said : "Free coinage means that we shall pur chase not merely four and a half million ounces a month, but all the silver that is of fered, come from where it msy, if presented in quantities of 100 ounces at a time. We are to give to the bolder either coin or Treasury notes, at his option, at the ra e of $1 for every 371 grains, now worth in the market 77 cents. Wbo can estimate the nn told hords of silver that will come into the Treasury if this policy is adopted. All of this will be represented by our Treasury note an increase of the national debt, is a public bid of 29 cents an ounce more than the market price for all the silver afloat and all that can be hereafter produced, made at time when silver is declining in value. and when many of the commercial nations are seeking to convert their silver into gold. The Latin nations, including Fiance, have born trying to maintain the value of silver, but the Latin Union is now dissolved, and each of these nations are now seeking for gold to replace their silver. "But how can a farmer or laborer or other producer be benefitted by a cheaper dollar ? The dollar is the measure of bis toil. It only useful to him to boy the necessaries of life or to accumulate property for advancing age. Its value is measured by its purchasing power. Cheaper dollars make more dollars necessary for his wants. The relative mar ket value of all commodities will rise or fall with the market value of tb dollar, and unless the silver dollar is worth as much ss the gold dollar it will not buy as much bog and hominy as the gold dollar. o govern ment is powerful enough to fix the prices of anything, we tried during the war, but the price went np as the dollar went down. In the North the greenback dollar, the sacred promise of a nation, would at ons time buy only ss much as 40 cents in coin. In the South the dollar of the Confederacy went down to ths value of rags. A Government may aay what shall be money and may call it a dollar, a dime or a cent and make it legal tender, but no one but the owner of property, from a cup of milk to an improved farm, can say bow many dollars or dimes or cents can buy the ssiik or tb farm." Speaking of the features of the campaign, Senator Sherman said : " I believe the tree coinage of silver idea is the result of a bar gain between what is called the national executive silver committee,' composed of representatives of tb great silver mining corporations of the United States, with some of the leaden of the. Democratic party, by which a portion of the profits of these corpo rations is to be invested in this Ohio canvas to detest the Republican party, and especial ly to down John ghermau' pa the issue of the free coinage of silver, jks for myself it is s matter of little importance. I have bad some experience in such con lasts before. am very willing to abide by tha judgment of tb people of Ohio. But what I do for is that the Stat of Ohio shall aot in any way be responsible for tb adoption of tb policy proposed by this combination, or for the evils that will surely flow from U." The Senator urged strongly tb election of Major McKinley and the indorsement President Harrison' administration. of Daad With a Pistol by HI Sid. Usioa-roww, August 28.

Dba 81a : A copy of a letter addressed to me by yon appeared in the Pittsburgh pa pers of this morning. A copy of the ssm letter reached me later in the day through the postofflca. I join with you in the regret you must feci that a privat letter, written In tb interest of harmony, should thus hsve been published and made public property be fore reaching the party to whom it was writ ten, and I will cheerfully lend you sny aid in my power in bringing to jostle those wbo were guilty of such an unseemly set. Your indorsement of the candidates nam ed by th late Repnolican convention, at Harrisburg meets my hearty approval, and so do your sen ii merits with respect to har mony in th party and success for th State ticket Th suggestion made by implication in your letter that two Republicans cannot con test within their party for a place of honor in its gifts without endangering party har mony strikes me as very novel and fails to appeal to my judgment All experience proves that honorably conducted ontet within party lines are the most effective methods of strengthening the party organi sation. raoor i aiw cists. No more signal proof of the truth of this proposition could be found than is furnish ed by the history of the pending contest for the presidency of the Bute League. Under its Impulse clubs have been organised in no merous place where up to this time apathy bas prevailed. The Slat league will meet at Scranton stronger in numbers, more thor ough in organization, more enthusiastic in seal, ana oetter equipped to enter upon a battle for Republican victory than it has ever been before. Nothing can mar the success of the Scran ton convention short of the success of the attempt recently made at a meeting of the executive commitee in Philadelphia to intro duce gag law, and to exclude from rightful participation in tb leagn convention the clubs from twenty-five counties of the com mon wealth. in my numoie judgment the issue now pending is not ss to the choice of one candi data over another. It is a higher, broader, and more far-reaching issue. It involves the integrity of the league itself, wrapped np, a it ia. In the determination of the question whether the representatives of s minority of the clubs of the commonwealth can gag the majority. bespossibiutv ros DISCORD. Neither your retirement from the field, nor mine, nor the retirement of both can elim inate from the contest this vital issue. I propove to remain in the fight until this question is determined. If discord results from the Scranton convention they will be responsible for it and they only -who have attempted to control its action by unfair methods. Bnt even if my intentions were different, I could not give my assent to the extraor dinary suggestion of your letter ; that you and I and a third party should choose a president for the State league. I place too high an estimate on the manhood of the Republican club men of the Stat to believe that they would tamely submit to dictation from any one. To gag the clubs of twenty-five counties would be bad enough ; to undertake to do the voting for the remainder, would be even worse. Let us have an open, manly contest hon est methods and a fair convention, and par ty harmony will not be endangered. I am, sir, truly yours, Jobs Dilzcll. VALPARAISO FALLS. Th Reign of Batmaceda, I Ovtr. Washisgtox, D, C, August 30. There is no longer a shadow of doubt about the abso lute downfall of the Chilean Government and the utter defeat of ex-President Balma ceda'i forces. Balmaceda has fled and the Congressionallst army ia looking for him in vain. Valparaiso and Santiago have both fallen into the hands of the enemies of the Gov ernment The following dispatch, dated Valparaiso, August 29, ha been received at the Navy Department from Rear Admiral Browne: "The Insurgent hare possession of the city of Valparaiso. It was taken yesterday A. M, afli-r a very sanguinsry engagement. The Government had the advantage good position, bat bad generalship. Troops dis affected. Insurgent ships were not present Forts not engaged. Lynch, with three second-class torpedo boats, captured. The foreign Admiral demanded guarantee in piotecting live and property of foreign sub ject. I have 100 men at the Consulate. Many refuges on board. The Provisional President is here." The official announcement of the defeat of Balmaceda and the overthrow of his power, which Assistant Secretary Wharton bad to telegraph to President Harrison to-dsy will lead, it is believed, to a prompt rectification of the position of our Government by the recognition of the Congresaionalists as bel ligerents, if not by the immediate recogni tion of their Government as the constitution al and established Government of Chile. CSOOSWTIOXAL tl'BRKSDES. When the Insurgent army entered Val paraiso immediate steps were taken to ad vance upon Santiago. The railroads were at one put into the hands of hundreds of men to repair. All this was unnecessary, for word was received from President Bal maceda, who was at th Capital, asking for a oon fere do. This waa readily granted, and General Banquedano was appointed as th representative of tb Congreaoionaiista. It is believed that tb Capital has been surren dered to tb insurgents, although the State Department bas not been notified. The Capital is practically in the hands of the Junta, whit) wil) ft once establish a pro visional government Valparaiso was surrendered uncondition ally. When the Insurgent fleet arrived in th harbor the sailor were warmly greeted. Asorr 900 xiixco. It is now known that 700 soldiers of Bal maoeda's army were slain in the battle at Valparaiso and 200 insurgents perished. It is Impossible to leam th number of th wounded. The Junta has already taken steps to get hold of the thirty tons of silver bullion which were taken from the Treasury by Balmaceda and shipped on the British aloop-of-war Espiegle to Buenos Ayres, there to be transhipped to Europe. The Treasury is empty. Burned to Death. At about 10 o'clock Thursday morning, a young girl, daughter of an Italian laborer at Loyalhanna coke works, near Latrobe, was bamsd to death and tb bouse in which they lived was totally destroyed. Tb girl was pouring carbon oil in th cook stove to start the fire, whan the can exploded, setting fir to her clothing and to th house.
