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.

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.

S E ETCH Pr THE LIVES OF THE CAXPIDATES.
David Newlin Fell was born in Bucking
ham Township, Bu.ks County, in Novem
ber, LM ). 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

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.
The country probably never before expe
rienced such a hard panic with so little gen

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.
The bonds now on deposit to secure circula
ting notes amount t itH.OtiG 2, an increase
of nearly JJ1 1,00:1,1 in) since tbe movement to
take out increased circuiation began in the
middle of June. The 4 per cent, bonds from
tbe bulk of the deposits, amounting to
$1s1.20 , and shewing an increase cf
$ Wi,00 during August.
Tbe passage of tbe bill now pending in tbe
Senate to increase tbe bank circulation to
the par value of thg b mds would aid i",
Uuvi.OK) to the outstanding circulation and
make the total S21,a.iO,(Mju a figure w hlch
has not been reached within the past four
years.
Out of $o,!20,6i0 worth of coinage executed
at the mints during August, HSW was
gold, as follows: Double eagles, $2,5u0,i)u0 ;
eagles, i!,2o7.4uO; balfeagles, $373.40U. The
silver coined amounted to l,!tlt),tW pieces of
the value of J&7-t.0u, in half and quarter
dollars and dimes.
The Cows Were all Drunk.
PoTTsTowit, Ta Sept. 1. 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.

Mclivaitie was much surprised on Fridey
at a request made Hugh Maxwell, who
was convicted this week in court of felon

given that privilege in the fmtentiary. He
is an inveterate smoker and was much

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.
