KUU t. MinU. riiiUdi-lphia Press. Major McKinley, in the closing words of his seech to the Republican editors of West Virginia, thus summed the pur pose, policy and end of the Republican party : "Let us do our work in the Unit ed States and then there will not be an idle man tteneath our flag." "Open the mints," says Mr. Bryan, "and prosperity w ill come." "Open the mills," declares Maj. McKinley, "and work w ill come, and out of work prosperity." There is only one way to open the mills: By the coulidence soum' money w ill bring and the increased demand protection will give. These two will bring more work, and the American w orkman wants work and wages, and not free silver and infla tion. There are at least 2.00,0ii0 men without work to-day in the United States. Put the Republican party in power, and "there will not be an idle man beneath our flag." Let Senator Milli Answer Himself if He Can. Erom his speech in tiie Senate, Sept. 19, ISO. In 1ST9 gold leeame the standard which measured all values in this coun try. It is now the standard the uniform standard of value of the commercial world. We are invited to abandon this standard and go to a depreciated stand ard of another metal. It will be just as fatal as if we went to the depreciated standard of paper money ... I denounce now in this country the attempt to shift and change the standard of values for the purpose of enabling the debtor to cheat and defraud his creditor out of one half of what he has promised him, and in doing o put the country upon a variable and shifting standard of value, by which the people will be plundered continuously from one end of it to the other. Fvery contract now in existence in the United States made since 1S79 is on the gold standard, and where a dollar is mentioned it means a gold dollar or one as good as gold; and I will never vote for any law that enables a man to cancel an obligation to pay 100 cents by paying 57 cents. KcZinley Oa Quay. In addressing a delegation from Beaver county, at his home in Canton, Saturday morning. Major McKinley said : "My fellow-citizens, I do not forget that this delegation comes from the home of that distinguished leader and unrivaled Republican organizer whose unfaltering devotion to Republicanism has never wavered, and whose splendid services to the cause have more than onee assisted to achieve the most signal triumphs in both your State and the nation. "I remember well that when the Wil son tarifl' law went from the House to the Senate and was under discussion, Senator Quay stood resolutely for every interest in his State and prevented the destruc tion of the great industries by his great speech, which was the longest e-er deliv ered upon the tariff question in the his tory of the Republic and which has not been concluded. When he was righting up for the industries of the State on the floor of the Senate if he could not save them in any other way he resumed his speech, which went on day after day, without apparent diminution of his man uscript which lay before him. I wish he might have been a part of this great dele gation to-day, but his alseuce is fully compensated by the fact that in another part of this great field of contest he is serving the same cause in which you are engaged and for the success of which so many of the people are striving. Hot Eliot From Thuntoa. New York, SepL 5. Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, was the star ora tor at a big Republican mass-meeting held to-night in Cooper Union. Cornelius X. Bliss presided. The great hall was tilled with enthusiastic sound money men, and they received Senator Thurs ton's able speech with vigorous applause. The Senator said: "I hare just returned from my native State, Vermont Vermont hs maintain ed her record for loyalty and patriotism All her Republican and a part of her Democrats stand for the financial honor and integrity of the nation. In every time of great public danger Vermont has responded to the call of duty. When Sumter was tired, one of her ereat Dem ocrats, Dillingham said: "There shall be no Democratic party in Vermont until the Union is saved." "Her Democracy in 1S;i; is as patriotic as in lStl, for her greatest Democratic statesman, Mr. Phelps, now says: 'The duty of every true Democrat in the pres ent emergency is to stand for bis coun try first, to maintain its financial honor alxive any party platform.' "I can take the dollars of my country. eold or silver or paper, and go into the the four corners of the habitable globe; I can transact business with all peoples. civilir-ed, semi civilized and barbaric. without fear of discijat, depreciation or discredit I want the dollars of the United States to go around the world as the flag goes, honored aud respected by all mankind. WHAT A liOI.l) HOLLAR WILL DO. I can take dollars of my country into every gold standard nation of the earth, and I can Imy as much in any home store of those countries as the most priv ileged citizen of the community can buy with the dollnr his government gives Lint for use. I can take the dollars of oy country into every free silver coinage nation of the world and I can buy twice as much at the home store as the most privileged citizen of the locality can buy with the best dollar his goverineut gives bim for use. I do not care to exchange my privilege with any man who is ready to give me two of his dollars for one of mine; I do not wish to see theUoddess of Liberty placed upon a depreciated coin. When we put the American eagle on a piece of metal we ought to put him there with every tail feather spread, rampant for the glory of his country. We can not afford to Mexicanize American man hood, American muscle or American money. It is contended by the advocates of free silver that this is an issue between the gold standard and bimetallism. Xothing could be further from the truth. It is an issue let ween a monetary system which w ill give as silver alone, and the existing monetary system, which gives us a prac tical bimetallism. YMY.Y.

The Candidates Named by the In dianapolis Convention. The Sound Money Democratic conven tion met in Indianapolis Wednesday and organized. It was called to order by Sen ator Palmer, of Illinois who said be had the honor for the moment to preside over the first national Democratic convention held in the year lS-. Ex-tlovernor Flower, of Xew York, was made tempo rary chairman, and Senator Caffery.of Louisiana, permanent chairman. There w ere 82s delegates attending the convention. They represented forty-one States and three territories. The convention on Thursday nomi nated Senator John M. Palmer, of Illi nois, for President, and Gen. Simon B. Buck ner, of Kentucky, for Vice Presi dent, Senator Palmer was nominated on the first Iwllot and Cien. Buckner was nominated by acclamation. The platform adopted denounces the free coinage of silver and demands the maintenance of the gold standard. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, and Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky, are two white-haired veterans of the war, rival commanders of the blue and gray. Pal mer left the Democratic party during the Fremont campaign and went Imck in the tJreeley campaign. He is now a Demo cratic Senator from Illinois. Buckner is the man who surrendered to Grant at Fort Donaldson. He has since been gov ernor of Kentucky. "soi-sd money" platform. The platform recommended by the committee on resolutions declares that in view of grave departures from Demo cratic principles in the Chicago platform, the "Sound Money" Democrats can not support the candidates of the Chicago convention nor be bound by its acts. It then continues: "The conditions, however, which make possible such utterances from a national convention are the direct result of class legislation by the Republican party. It still proclaims, as it has for years, the power and duty of government to raise and maintain prices by law, and it pro poses no remedy for existing evils except oppressive and unjust taxation. "The national Democracy here con vened, therefore, renews its declaration of faith in Democratic principles, espec ially as applicable to the conditions of the times. "We denounce protection and its ally. free coinage of silver, as schemes for the personal profit of the few at the expense of the masses, and oppose the two parties which stand for these schemes as histile to the people of the republic, whose f.snl and shelter, comfort and prosperity are attacked by higher taxes and depreciated money. In fine, we reaffirm the historic Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only. "Realizing the truths demonstrated by long and public inconvenience and loss, the Democratic party in the interests of the masses and of equal Justice to all, practically established by the legislation of li4 and 1S.VJ the gold standard of mon etary measurement and likewise di vorced the government from the banking and currency issues. To this long estab lished Democratic policy we adhere, and insist upon the maintenance of the gold standard and of the parity therewith of every dollar issued by the government : and we are firmly opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver and to the compulsory purchase of silver bullion. Aud we denounce also the further main tenanceof the present costly patchwork system of national paper currency as a constant source of injury and peril. We assert the necessity of such intelligent currency reform as will confine the gov ernment to its legitimate functions, com pletely separated from the banking busi ness and afford to all sections of our country a uniform, safe and elastic liank currency under government supervision, measured in volume by the needs of business." After lauding President Cleveland and commending his administration, the plat form sa s: "We favor arbitration for the settle ment of international disputes. "We favor a liberal policy of pensions to deserving soldiers and sailors of the United States. "The Supreme Court of the United States was wisely established by the framers ot our constitution as one of the three co-ordinate branches of the govern ment Its independence and authority to interpret the law of the land without fear or favor must I maintained. "We condemn all efforts to degrade that tribunal or impair the confidence and respect which it has deservedly held. The Democratic party ever has maintain ed and ever will maintain the supremacy of law, the independence of its judicial administration, the inviolability of con tract and the obligations of all good citi zens to resist every illegal trust eoiubina tlon or attempt against the just rights of property and the good order of society in which are bound up the peace and hap pinesa of our people." Andrew Carnegie's Tiewi. Andrew Carnegie has written from Xew York a letter to the "American Manufacturer," in which he tells how free silver will hurt workmen and why employers do not want to change troin tue gold standard. As to the first propo sition he writes : To-day workmen are paid in dollars as good as gold, worth IK) cents everywhere. These gold dollars, lieing worth nearly two silver dollars of the silver standard countries, buy two dollars worth of tea. coffee, etc., used by the workmen. The present dollars paid workmen, being gold dollars, buy a lull gold dollar's worth of any article in all countries which are gold standard countries. Therefore, if American workmen are paid in silver dollars, tho oust of everything they use from silver liearingcountries will be near ly double. The cost of articles purchas ed by his gold dollars from gold-using countries will also be double, as the sil ver dollar, containing only .V! cents worth of silver, will lie taken by the gold-using countries only at its value in silver. To day our dollars are taken at 100 cents. The Mexican dollar buys in Brazil &l cents' worth of coffee; it buys in London S3 cents' worth of anything. But the American dollar today buys 2X1 cts.' worth of coffee iu Brazil and 10.1 cents' worth of anything in London. Xo silver advocate can dispute these facts. Mr. Carnegie states that if free silver comes, as liryan desires, wages w ill be thns cut nearly in half. He states that wages in silver-using countries have not advanced as the value of silver has fallen He adds; Tba workingman who desires his rev enue to be reduced nearly one-half should vote for Bryan; the workingman who does not wish this will make a great mis lake if he votes so. Mr. Carnegie states that the revson em ployers do not favor debased money, when they could pay their workman with Hand save a'oojt one hilf the ostof lat3r, is bocause they kn w that a de based money has always resulted in dis aster to business. He continues: It shakes confidence, aad business is based upon confidence. Employers are never prosperous unless the workmen are prosperous. - It is when labor commands the highest wages that profits are highest. heu labor can be obtained at very low rates, because many men are idle the em ployer makes no profit He always loses. Mr. Carnegie refer to the idleness in manufacturing and mining, anj says this is caused by the threat of "reckless, ig norant men to lowr the standard of money." 1 he day the republic declares the gold standard shall remain will see the return to genuine prosperity. Uesays that until that day comes we have noth ing to lok for but depression as now pre vails and even worse. C03IPULS0HY EDTCATIOH. Fruitions of tae Law Which is How ia Effeoi. It is expected that within the next few days the school board of Somerset Bor ough will elect an officer whose duty it will be to see that the children of town between the ages of 8 and 13 years are in attendance at school in accordance with the provisions of the compulsory educa tion law passed by the last legislature.

CHINA'S GEEATEST STATESMAN. He Spends a Few Days this Week ia the United States. Karl Id Hnng Chang, the Prime Min ister of the Chinese Empire, and the greatest of oriental statesmen, arrived in Xew York ten days ago on the steamer St. Louis. Unlike most of his countrymen, Li is a tall, soldierly-looking man, at least six feet in height with a fine presence and a sharp, alert face. He began life as a poet and philosopher, and his writings made him famous; he became a really fine scholar of the severely classical type. One of the most astonishing things about his astonishing country is the high place in society and politics awarded to literary men. Li was dragged from his Confucius in the early fifties to stamp out the Tai p'ing rebellion. He succeeded, and his success uiarke.: him out for high office. At the present moment he is pretty near ly everything that human intelligence can compel a man to be. He is Viceroy of Pe-cbee-lee, Senior Grand Secretary of State, Imperial Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, Senior Tutor to the Empire, Di rector- ieneral of the Coast Defense of the Xorth and of the Imperial Xavy. Xorthern Superintendent of Trade, and Ambassador Extraordinary. A man can not well do more for bis country than manage the army and navy, her home and foreign affairs. Dragged a Boy to Death, Xorristown, Pa Sept 4. Ten-year-old Willis Weikel met a frightful death yesterday afternoon, being dragged to his doom by a cow. The boy had been adopted by Mrs. Emma Phipps to work on her farm at Evansburg. While Mrs. Phipps was visiting iu Collegeville, about 2:30 o'clock the boy took a cow and drove her to the Skippack Creek, some distance away, to water her. Around the Isivine's neck was a chain, and to this the boy attached a rope, tying the other end about his waist. What followed is merely conjecture, as nobody was a witness to the terrible af fair. From the surroundings, however, it appears that upon reaching the edge of the creek the cow became unmanageable and dashed awry, dragging the boy along tho roaiL After dragging the boy for a quarter of a mile, the cow and its victim m-ere finally stopped near Prizer's store.

Vearly Doable the Xajority Given for Governor ia 1892. The greatest Republican victory in the history of the party in Vermont slate is the result of the election last Tuesday. This glorious triumph for the principles of souud money and protection electa Josiab Grout governor by 3y,o!U plurali ty. The real significance of this phenom enal vote, however, is the emphatic in dorsement of McKinley aud Hobartand the St. Louis platform, aud the repudia tion of Byan aud Populism. The figures of the election are astound ing, and exceed the most sauguiuo ex pectations of the Republican leaders. ..The Republican registration iu the state was 67,tii)i), of which over W per cetit or 52,UM was cast This is nearly double the majority given to the Republican candidate for governor iu the September election in the last presidential year, and ,i0 more than was ever before given to a Republi can candidate for governor. The contest was fought on national issues, aud the fight betueen thesupiiort- ers of sound money and free silver was of the warmest character. It was a battle royal, but the farmers and workingmeu of the Green Mountain state were not de ceived by the delusive arguments of the free silver advocates and have utterly re fused to support the Popocratic candidate for governor. Dr. J. Henry Jackson, who stood on the Chicago platform and repre sented William Jeunings Bryan in the campaign. The Republicans have made the most vigorous canvass ever conducted under the party banner, and they have been supported by several good Sound Money Democrats, who put patriotism above partisanship, fealty aud country above party. The returns of the election show phe nomenal Republican gains aud marked Democratic losses in the cities and towns. as well as in the rural districts. The Re publicans elect every, state officer by majorities exceeding ."O.OtX), elect a solid Republican seuate of thirty members, and 200 out of 213 members of the house. To realize the full proportions of the great majority iu Vermont it is necessa ry to know what the voto and majority have lieeu iu past years iu corresponding elections.

There has been much talk for many weeks about the iu roads the free silver heresy was making among the farmers of the country. Hitherto there has been nothing but assertions aud guesses to go upon ; now a solid basis of fact is offered. Yermont is to au exceptionally large ex tent an agricultural State, and the elec tion for Governor and other State officers held yesterday furnishes a decisive indi cation of the sentiment of tho farmers on the great question now agitating the country. Xew York Press (It -p.) It Ls Moscow, Mr. Bryan a campaign ofHussia. The enemy's country has in vaded you. As you take up your retreat toward the setting sun this morning you will lie cheered by the information that you have through your Eastern journey been able to pull down around your cars not only the largest Republican majority ever cast in the State of Vermont but a larger majority than any one ever dream ed amid have been cast in the State of Vermont. Xew York World (Di-in.) ermnnt is not a very significant State, Yet its election may fairly be counted a straw showing which way the wind blows. In the Stale of Vermont the Re' publicans made important gains yester day. In so far as the Vermont election is significant at all its teaching is that the East is for sound money, wholly apart from all other issues. New York Advertiser (Re p.) There is no room for the free silver heresy iu the Green Mountain State, Her sturdy sons were the first to speak after the holding of the national conventions and yesterday they rolled up a majority for the Republican candidates and sound money that will stagger the apostles of repudiation when they come to realize the real size and significance of it Baltimore American (Hip) Vermont lod off yesterday iu the bal lolins for IS. The Green Mountain boys in overwhelming numbers pro nounced Tor honest money, the indepen euce of the Supreme Court anil the su pression of mob law wherever and when ever it rears its ugly front. Baltimore Sun (Dem.) ". Vermont yesterday went Republican by a huge majority, tho figures being of a record-breaking character. Free coinage at the obsolete ratio was "snowed under.' Vermotit is an agricultural State .but the farmers there seem to take no interest in the debasement of tho currency. Wilmington News (Itep.) The news from Vermont is cheering, as indicating that the people of Xew Eng land at least are not to be caught by the clamor for free silver and free riot. Friends Drowned Together.

Isaac Mechlin, who has just passed his 21st birthday, and Hannah Parsons, 17 years old, eloped from Dayton on a tandem late last night and rode 10 miles to this city to be married. Shortly after they left Day ton, Hannah's father started iu pursuit in a buggy. Ho almost overtook the elopers before they saw him. Then they w heeled faster aud arrived at the homo of Justice of the Peace Charles Sedam, a short distance ahead. The justice was asleep, but the vigorous pull at the dsr bell awakened him, and, slipping on a dressing gown and a pair of slippers, he opened the door.

The world did not come to an end to-day, and Pastor Frederick Sttitzke, who predicted o end for sunrise this morning, was griev ously disappointed when there were no signs of the ascension to heaven. He had no explanation to make, but thought tl-ere was a mistake in the calculation as to the exact time when the world was to end. A mob of the nnregencrate, who car ried ancient cabliages aud decayed fruit and laughed at the idea that any one was to go heaven to-day, filled the street in front of Stutzke's house last evening and assailed it. These persons referred to the prophet as "whiskers," and seemeit utterly re gardless of the fate of the l-oys who made fun of Elijah's bald head iu the olden time. The, police dispersed the crowd, and a patrolman was stationed at tho prophet's gate, Tho converts, who spent the day iu the cottage, went to their homes about S o'clock to await the stir ling events of to-day.
