J', im.im, from the present rate of pro press made by the Senate on the Silver bill, Senater Teller will not only need Lis winter clothes, but he w ill be requir ed to Lave his breeches fortiiled in the seat before the Mion ends. The tv;uare backdo n, which Mr. Sec retary Hoke Smith has been compelled to make, rt pardinji the suspension of the pension of old soldiers, leaves the Dem ocratic organs who attempted to defend Lis unlawful and unpatriotic rulings in a deep and very dirty hole. Tiiee was twenty-to tons of gold, in one batch, shipped from California to New York last week. In addition to this there is about eighty millions ot gold bullion in the Treasury, which is now be icjr converted into coin as fast as the mints can tarn it cut. Ji ik.e Fell and Col. Jackson were both 6oIdieis of the late war and Lave most excellent military records. Here is a chance for old soldiers toemphasi.e by their votes their opinion of Hoke Smith and other pens'i"n nuashen of the pres ent National Administration. IVkin.; the month of August, as shown by the Treasurer's statement, the public debt was increased ten million dollars. If there was a U?pabiican Administra tion in power what a howl would come rom Democratic throats over its bit 11 n ancieringand wasteful extravagance. Coi.. B. F. Wilkes in , who Las been se lected as Chairman cf the Republican State Committee, is a resident and a lead ing lawyer of Backs county. He served as Second Comptroller of the Treasury during the las Administration, w hich position he resigned shortly after Cleve land's inauguration. He is an active, wide-awake Kepii'.uicaa, and will make a most eilicient and acceptable chairman. Why don't tiie I lemocra's get topeth ft 7 They arc hopelessly divided on the silver (jues'.ioa. Tney are wrangling and snarling over the adoption of rules to govern their JelilK-ratioas" iu the House, and with all their hurrah for 'Tariir reform" they will tind their pro posed reform a boue of contention when thev fairly K'ttle down to the considera tion of that question. Kx-President Harrison well said that Mr. Cleveland w ;!'. find it hard work to drive his team cf unbroken colts. The President w ith hi family returned to Washington on Friday last. Notwith standing the alarming stories that have been circulated by sensational newspa ler, he is reported to be in the enjoy ment i f robust health. It appears that in July he ha 1 a couple of decayed teeth extracted, and from this himpie opera tion grew the stories that be had a can cerous affection similar to that from w hich (icneral Grant suffered and died. We trust and believe that many days are ret in store lor bini. i"R Democratic breltircti are charging the present deplorable condition of the l s. Treasury on the Republicans whom they say made wasteful appropriations during its two years control of the House under the Harrison Administration. Do the gentlemen forget that in the last cor.grews they Lad 1"0 of a majority and that the appropriations during those two years amounted to f.';$,4-)s,0A more than during the " billion dollar congress preceding it over which they so plain tively Lottl? Ait-aeuvtly the silver men ia the U. S. Senate Lave determined that the pur chase of silver by the Government shall n t be stopped, notwithstanding the de mands of aii the business interests of the o juutry and the siguiticantly large ma jori y by w hich tlie repeal passed the Ho ;e. Filibustering may not be re sorted to by Stnators, l ut there is an e.i diat dtU ruiiation to delay if not kill tie bill ty talking against tiice. Senator T'l'.er, aieaderut ihe&iiveritej, has made the niitnilicant announcement that be bro jght his winter clothing with him. Auntiiiw to a tatement just issued by the Treasury department the money of the world foots op f lOD.D.HOO. Of coarse this is largely guesswork, bnt based on the most reliable data obtaina ble. Of this grand total the United States has ?l,,irXhO0O, or f 21 for every man, woman and child in the country. It is a favorite and constantly repeated allegation of the Democrat that their "Tariff ref. rm," or free trade doctrine, was indorsed by a large majority of the voters at the last election, and they are only obeying the wishes of he people by overthrowing the present tariff. This is not true ia any sense. Grover Cleveland is a minority President by over a million of votes, having received 5,53o,5j votes out of a total of !2,10LV17 rotes cast. It was the vote polled by the Populists, Frohibitionists and Socialists that beat Harrison. Ox ednesday last the cash in the U. S. Treasury was turned over by Mr. Ne btker, the late Treasurer, to D. N. Mor gan, Lis Democratic successor. The amount was J710,817,41l.7:. It took six ty expert counters and laborers, at con stant work, from the 31st of May to the .'th of August to count and weigh this vast sum. Not one cent was missing. Several bags containing silver had rotted and were found to be some dollars short, but the missing dollars were afterwards found on the tloor of the vault. The to tal weight of the coin counted was oOOO tons. The accuracy of the accounts in volving so large a sum is as surj rising as it is gratify ing. Tue Democrats have got into a row in the House over the new rules proposed by Mr. Speaker Crisp and his committee on rules. The sensible Democrats who want to transact the business of the country want if possible to guard the r'.gi ts of the majority by preventing fi libustering, but the Iiourboa element are hostile to this because it smacks of the ruies of the olst Congress, known as the "Keed rules. " The Speaker finds a fight on hand among Lis heretofore fol lowers. He has already, on two occa sions, had the Houe break away trom end overthrow a portion of Lis proposed rules, and his partisans have resorted to the cry that th m who do not support l.hn are voluntarily putting their necks into "Tom needs" yoke. Of course the recusants will be whipped in, but it is being demonstrated to the csuntry tt.at there, is a woful lack of harmony in the r.mks of the Democracy, and " Tom Heed" and the Republican members are getting lots of fan out of the situation. The Republican State Convention held at Harrisrmrg on Wednesday last did the business for w hich it assembled quickly, and did it we'll. There was no jarring, no conflicts; everything was harmonious and everybody was happy. The only two candidates before the Convention wre Jn.'.ge Fell and Col. Jackson, and both were nominated by acclamation. Two more worthy anil available can didates were never before presented for the suffrages of the Republicans of Penn sylvania, and their election by an over whelming majority is beyond cavil. The platform adopted has the true ring, and is a clear enunciation of the principles of the Republicans of the Keystone State. Protection to American industry, honest money, -tensions for the Union veterans, restricted immigration, appropriations for the public schools. What more is wanted? What better issues could rally Republicans for battle? With such a ticket and such a platform success is assured, the only question to be determined is the magnitude of the victory. Di RiN-i the laht Presidential campaign the Democrats gathered into their fold ail the rag, tag and bobtail elements of the country. They cozened the Popu lists, they knuckled 1 1 the free coinage element, they took the anarchists to their bosom, they toyed with the t'rohibition-L-Ls and they formulated a good Lord, good Devil platform. It was with them "anything to beat the Republicans and give the country a change." Wei!, the Republicans were beaten and we have the chane, as wi nessthe deserted forg es, the silent spindles, the closed mil's, the stringent money market, the hund reds of thousands of idle men begg'ng for work and the millions of mouths that wili soon be crying for bread ; and mean while, in a Congress specially called for the purjiose of giving speedy relief to 'the country, the discordant anti-Republican elements gathered into that body by raking the political b1uul, quarrel over the spoils and rend each other about doctrinal differences. The people are reaping the bitter fruits of their fol ly, but so it has been and so it will be hereafter, for it appears to be written in the book of fate that each generation, re fusing to profit by the experience of its predecessors, must taste the bitter waters of adversity, which their own folly has pre'svd to their lips. Coi Chaw t P. Lincoln, aa old sol dier, a lawyer by profession, and Eeputy Commissioner of Pensions during the Harrison Administration, proposes to test in the courts the legality of Secretary Hoke Smith's action in suspending pen sions granted by Secretary Noble under the Act of June '.'7, Mr. Lincoln holds, a tne Hekald has heretofore done, that afier a claim has been properly ad judicated and a pension granted the claimant has a vested right, of which the Secretary cannot deprive him, onless he first shows that it was procured by fraud. If Mr. Smith can arbitrarily over thow the decisions of his predecessors, then it follows that his successor can overthrow his ruling, and thus each Sec retary would lie a law nnto himself, and the old Soldiers would hold their pen sions subject to the rulings or caprice of each succeeding Secretary. The deter mination cf Col. Lincoln and others to take Secretary Smith into the courts and have it legally determined whether, at his own sweet will, be can suspend the payment of a pension properly granttd, has brought the young Secretary up whh a round turn, in fact, has caused him to back down on the question of Lis right to suspend pensions, and accordingly th Commissioner of Pensions has been or dered to "modify the practice of the of fice as to the suspension of pensions and that hereafter there w ill be no suspensions, except in cases where the record shews on ita face that the soldier w as not entitled t any pension whatev er." This is a great victory for the veterans, but the brash young Secretary should be required to go one step further, and restore to the rolls those whom he illegally sus jnded on mere suspicion. A Woman Breaks Monte Carlo. Yiessa, Sept. 3. Monte Carlo's bank has bjw been broken bye woman, and the popular song must be changed. Miss Ijeal, a young (icolcLwooian, bas recently been playing at lha gamuif utiles. She had re ma kble lu. k fur several days, which fob minatcd in the brekkiac of the bank. She is said to hire w o .' U3 in one hour. Jackson Nominated for State Treas urer and Pfcll for Supreme Judge, on a Ringing, Sensible Platform. The Republican S:ate Convention met in the Opera House at Harrisburg at 10 a. m. Wednesday, and was called to order by State Chairman Frank fleder. Secretary Frank Willing Leech called the roll, wh'ch disclosed the fact that of 24 delegates elected there were present 25.5. Hon. tieo. W. Hood, of Indiana County, was elected Temporary Chairman. Tpon assuming the gavel he dr!tvered a spirited address, in which he said that when Grover Cleveland was elected President in 1' the hum of industry was beard throughout the '.and. The wiie-earoer was well and promptly paid. The farmer bad a ready and fair market for his product. Our finances were easy. To-day, with less than six months' Democratic administration, we linii our industries partly destroyed, our wage earners discharged or put upon limited time, and in lotne instances begging bread. A Democratic Congress sits in Washington di vided in purpose, unsettled in policy, aim less in action, awaiting for " something to turnup" which shall serve as an index to point the way to the Utopian fields of finan cial bU"C-"3, business confidence, and patri otic trust which, under the Administration of President Harrison, was so richly eojoyed by ail. With fol! and complete control of Congress, with ail the attributes of a panic abseut in our financial condition, the party in power can ouiy be held responsible for the present situation cf affairs. W hat all good citizens want, and what is especially needed now to restore confidence and revive the lagging industries of the coun try, is an unmistakable asauiance from Washington that the legislation which gave us Sherman money, M;Kinley Tariff, and iJiaine Reciprocity shall not be interfered with. The customary resolutions werealopted. fixing the order of business. Chairman Hood then announced the Com mittee on Resolutions and Permanent Or ganization. Following is the platform adopted by the Convention : The Repub.icans of Pennsylvania, in Con vention assembled, reaffirm their adherence to the declaration of principles adopted by the National Republican Convention of lS'.C We demand the immediate and uncondi tional ret-eal of the purchasing clause of the act of Congress entitled " aa act directing the purchase of silver bullion and the issu ing of Treasury notes, approved July 14, ls'.V We congratulate the country on the recent prompt and patriotic action of the House of Representatives aud request the Senators from Pennsylvania to support similar legis lation now pending in tue Senate. We lavor the expausion of the circulating medium of the country until the same shad amount to i-iO per capita of our population, and approve the proposition to issue to National banks notes to the ptr value of bondi, deposited to secure their circulation. Ia this Convention we repeat the follow ing declaration of the last Republican Na tional Convention. " The American people, from tradition and interest fa Tor bi uietal hstn, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard mon ey, with such restrictions and under such provisions to be determined by legislation at will c are the maintenance of the parity of values of the mi-tals ; thai the purchasing and debt-paying power of a dollar, whether of gold or silver, or paper, shall be at all times equal to the interests of the producer of the country. Its farmers and its working men demand that every dollar of paper or coin issued by the Government shall be as ood as any other." Further, we declare that the obiigitions of the Government should be discharged in money, approved and current, to all civilized nations; lo that end a largely increased re serve of gold should bs gradually accunia ialed and maintained. S wiftly upon the heels of Democratic suc cess iu ls'.tj, bas followed unprecedented Na tional distress, a ruinous fall in the price of farm and other products, and manufactures, the closing of our factories and mills, the re duction of the wages of labor, the discharge of the workingrneo from employment, the cessation of railroad extension and diminu tion of tralhc. Bankruptcy and the suspension of Banks are to-day the only monuments of their triumph. The present condition of the country is mainly due to the conviction that a vital attack will be made upon tbe Ameri can system of Protection. We reiterate the belief that we have oftea expressed that the maintenance of aa adequate and stable sys tem of Protective duties is essential to the well-being of the National prosperity of labor and capital, and protest against any amendments to tbe McK.inley bill nnti! it Minll have been fairly tested and judged by its practical operations. Tne heroic sacrifices and unfaltering pat riotism of the Union soldiers and sailors in the great War of the Rebellion created a dbt ofgratitude that the Nation can never pay, and the Republican party, ever mind ful of their loyal serv ces and grateful for thtir heroism, renews ita declaration of friendship for the surviving veterans, and its advocacy of liberal pensions, and, so far as possible will not only contribute to their cirufort in their declining years, but will hold in sacrei memory their priceless and d.-tiugjisbed services on the field of battle. The National Democratic Administration, ia the appointment of oiheers in charge of the Interior Department at Washington who are hostiile to the survivivingveterans d.'scrve the condemnation of every lojal citizen in the Nation. Tbe Republican party of Pennsylvania emphatically denounces the acts by whica the heroes of the Republic are being depriv ed arbitrarily of their pensions, as unworthy of the pitriotic American people and as re tlectiug discredit upoa the great Republic made perpetual by the loyal services of the l uioa soldiers. We demand the enactment and enforce ment of the immigrant law which shall effectually prohibit the importation of ignor ant and undesirable immigrants. Our in teii:gent workingmen should not be obliged to compete with such labor. We corur.ieud tbe action of the last Legis lature in this State in setting apart from tbe revenue of the Commonwealth an additional million dollars to defray tbe cost of public schools increasing the appropriation for that purpose to $, , ',(KJ per annum and relieving the burden of local taxation to that extent. We recommend that the representation in the Republican National Convention for be ma le on tbe basis ol the Republican vote at the Presidential election of HirJ, and recommend tbe Republican National Committee issue the call accordingly. Representation in future State Conven tions shall be ba-ed oa lbs von cait at ibe Presidential or Gubernatorial election pre ceding, one deltgnle allowed to each two thousand votes, an J an additional delegate for tach fraction.

His father was Superintendent of the Backs County Schools, and conducted bis early education. He attended and grad uated from the Millersville Sta'e Normal School. In August, 1S02, i aimed atrly after leaving school, he enlisted in the Army, and rose from tbe rank of Lieutenant to Maj w cf the One Hundred and Twenty-second Pennsylvania Volunteers. At the close of the war he studied law in Philadelphia with his brother the late W. W. Fell od was almitted w tbe Baron March 17, 130. He was elected a member of tbe Philadelphia Common Council and appointed a member of the Municipal Commission. Oa May 2, 177, Mjjor Fell was appoint u by Governor Hartranft to a vacincy on the bench of the Philadelphia Court of Com mon Pleas No. 2. The same year be was elected without opposition for the full term of ten years, and in Js7 was unanimously re-elected. He bas male a fine record as an able and upright member of the bench Col. Samuel M. Jackson was born on a farm near Apoli. Armstrong County, on September 21, 1S.13. He attended for awhile the Jacksonville Ademy, in Indiana County, but was noab'e to finish bis coursa by reason of his father's death. He joined the militia as a drummer boy when twelve years of age. Subsequently be became a captain. When tbe War broke oit he re cruited Company G, of the Eleventh Penn tylvania R-serves, of which he was chosen captain. Cm July 2, be was promoted to maj or ; October 2'h. tbe same year, he was made lieutenant colonel, and on April 10, 1302, became colonel. He served for three years. He was twice wounded and reudered gallant aud efficient service on ma ny hotly contested battle fields, notably South Mountain, Antietam. Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness. At Spott sylvaoia be commanded the brigade and was breveted brigadier general for gallant con duct. At the close of tbe War Col. Jac kson en gaged in the oil busine-s in Venango Coun ty, but subsequently returned to Armstrong County. I a 1 sty he was elected to the Low er House of the Legislature and in 1371 was re-elected. Four years later he was elected to the State Senate. In lw71 he became cash ier of the Apollo Savings Bank and served as such until April, 1 .-', when be was made collector of Internal Revenue for tbe Twenty-third District, and served until July 1, liso. In September, l.v5, he was chosen President of tbe Apollo Savings Bank, an office he still holds. He is also Secretary of the firm of P. H. Laufman A Co., manufac turers of sheet-iron, tin-plate, etc wrongto Rev. McKlnney. Tbe mistake made by the agents of the Uuited States Government in arresting Rev. G. R. ilcKinney, an evangelist of wide re pute, and bringing him from Stillwater, Ok lahoma, to Pittsburg to be tried for imper sonating a United States ollior and defraud ing applicants for aa increase of pension in this county, threatens to develop some sen sational features. The Methodist ministers of Pittsburg will be asked to unite in the support of the victim of the Government's mistake, and the Government will be asked in a legal way to restore Rev. Mr. McKinney to his distressed family in Oklahoma. Rev. Mr. McKinney told a sorry story at police headquarters, TitL-iburg. He is a tall, sharp-featured man, with a flowing mus tache. He is a fluent talker, with a Yankee tang in his voice. While the humble aud apparently-distressed evangelist recited the story of his misfortune to Inspector McKel vey big tears chased each other down his haggard cheeks, and be seemed positively weak from worry. He told how some sharper, representing himself as a Govern ment pension agent, bail gone into the mountains of Somerset County, and how he had agreed to secure for each pensioner a:i increase in pension, provided he was paid fifty cents in each case. He told of bow the Government bad lerned of the fraud, and how the perpetrator had been described as a heavy-set man with a small black mustache. J. H. Bostwick, the Pension Examiner, had seen a picture of the evangelist in an Oklahoma paer, and had telegraphed to United State Marshal J. O. Stevens to arrest Rev. Mr. McKinney. The arrest was made while Mr. McKinney was at the bedside of bis sick wife. It was feared at the time the shocc would kill the woman. The prisoner was taken to Guthrie, where hewa3 impris oned in a filthy pen with fifty-six Indians and three train robbers. One of the train robbers had his arm shot oil while resisting arrest. He was held in prison at Guthrie until Attorney -General Olney was consulted in the case. Marshal Stevens was confident he had arrested the wrocg man. The At torney Gt-neral ordered that the prisoner be taken to Pittsburg for trial. At Chicago Stevens left the minister for six hours, while he attended the World's Fair. Coming from Chicago to Pittsburg the prisoner traveled on one road over which be was enabled to purchase a half-rate tick et, and the Marshal traveled over another road on which he had purchased a round trip ticket. At Chicago the Marshal decided to allow the prisoner to come to Pittsburg and give himself up, but after consulting an attorney it was learned that such an arrange ment would prevent the official from draw ing his pay for the trip. When the prisoner was turned over to the authorities Marshal Stevens drew full fare for himself and pris oner regardless of the half rate to the minis ter. The cost of bringing the prisoner to Pittsburg was $ I'D. The amount collected by the fraudulent agent in this county is re ported to be $1 5L When tbe case was called in the United States Court Thursday three witnesses testi fied that Rev. Mr. McKinney was not tbe man who had defrauded them. He was dis charged and is turned into tbe streets with out a penny, about a thousand miies from bis family. The whole case will be thoroughly investigated. Hard Times Past.

Fed eral SU Allegheny, Pa. Great Increase in Currency. Wasiiimotok, D. C, Sept 1. The in crease in the national bank note circulation during August is without a parallel in the recent history of the national banking sys tem. The secured circulation based on bonds increased $lo.41o,425 during Angust. on the heels of an increase during July of $.',32u.l'i. This increase of more than ow.OJU in two months Las carried the secured circulation to tt7S.C!j171S, and the circulation of all kinds to $l!s,Ml,Sl.

When Farmer Jacob Cbristman went to a pasture field yesterday be was astonished at the antics of his large drove of cows. They were all staggering about lixe so many drunken men. They bellow td, threw their heada and uils in tbe air and acted like circus horses pranc ing to the time of a braa band. It was tbe worst lot of jig steps tbe farmer bad ever seen. The cows were intoxicated, but how they came lo be so was a mystery until A. K. Evans, a veterinary surgeon, was called. He found that the cattle had broken into a Corn field and tbe green corn they bad eaten fermented in their stomachs, causing intoxication. News Items.

Judge Mcl.vaine granted bis request and the prisoner was taken to the penitentiary to day. lie is over 0 years of age and claims that be could also get aj education in the penitentiary. He ia an illiterate Scotchman. ASSIGNEES' SALE. OF VahaHe Real Estats ! By vlrtneof aoWd i f voluntary iitnme:it of J. 1.
