Oxe week of peace is Letter than three months of war. Dew ey began it. Dewey ended it and Dewey will get the honors that will be highest. The record that the lied Crcta has made in this war will one of the bright est pages iu its history. This war has convinced many an American volunteer that, after all, "there's noplace like home." At the next general election a great demand for spellbinders will come from the Porto Rican, Philippine and La drone precincts. Uxcle Sam does not believe in joint occupation. He went into the business of war alone, and is not taking in for eign partners now. Three of the Peace Commissioners on the part of the United States have been selected. Secretary Day, Senator Davis, and General B. F. Tracy. Presidext Mt Kin ley was not ex pected to be a war President when nom inated, but events have proved that he was equally the right choice for war or peace, A portiox of the volunteers wiil soon come marching home. AH help ed to secure the victory, and all will be welcomed as equally brave aud patri otic sons of the Republic Whex California was annexed quite a number of misguided persons said the expansion would ruin the country. Their mistake is a sufficient reply to trimilar predictions heard at the present time. Pittpltro is making great prepara tions for the reception of the Knights Templar, and notice is served on every body that there is going to tie such a display of Pittsburg hospitality as will gladden the heart of every Templar who attends. Whex the war began the Spanish ware fully convinced that this was a nation of business men and without m'litary aptitude. Teu days after the declaration of war Dewey hit that Spanish theory, and the amazement in Spain has not yet subsided. If vol are a good citizen you will at once ee that you are registered, so that you can vote for William A. Stone and the whole Republican ticket on election hty. September t;th and Tth are the last days for registering, and you should nee that your name is on the list. President McKixley displays good judgment in mustering out the volun teer troops at once. There is no longer any call for their services, and many of them are serving their country at a great personal sacrifice, and it is best that they be mustered out at once. Without counting the recent addi tions of territory, there are in the Uni ted States twenty-three persons to the aquare mile. The figure in England is 370, in Belgium 571, and In Germany 270. If the poplation in this country were as dense as that in Belgium the aggregate would exceed the present population of the earth. The Altoona Tribune says: "The fact that the Congressional Conference has bugun its sessions is a step in the right direction. It U verv earnestly to be hoped that a noiuin-ttion will be made by Septembsr 1. It is the conviction of clear-sighted R'pu'.ilieans in Blair county that the unoertainti-s and irri tations of this straggle f r the congres sional nomination should be made au end of as early as possible. The work of organization should bgin early in September.'' A Repuhlicax member of Congress from Kansas makes the prediction that his State will give a Republican major ity this fall of at least 33,000. This mty not prove true, but it is certain that the strength of the Populists in that State is on the waue. They have given Kansas a poor government, aud have kept none of those promises of re firm so freely made in their campaigns. Kansas ought to have been back in the Republiijan columu long ago, and this fall will be a good Urns for it to get there. Admiral Dewey's figure in the war Just dosed towers above every other in the army or navy. It is not alone as a fighting commander that Dewey has earned tis high distinction. For more than three months after destroying the fleet At Manila he faced a most difficult problem in diplomacy. From first io last he commanded the situation with the prudence of the statesman as well as the firmness and readiness of the military genius. He made no mistake. The jealousies excited in some of the nations of Eurrpe by the entrance of the United States into a new field were ably met by this leader, whose gifts have just been revealed to his country men. When foreign meddlers erossed the proper limit he repelled them with just enough of decision. At the end he compelled the city to surrender upon his terms, and it U legitimately the prize of his operations. As for his greai. r.avsd battle, it will be famous as lng as time endures. It was splen didly intrepid and yet a carefully or ganized attack, combining at once tne profnundest calculation and the most bri'lUuitly aggressive courage. Admi ral Dewey's work is too complete and conspicuous to cause envy. He stands nnquestionably first on the roll of our heroes in the war with Spain. The Senatorial Conference for the Sorneraet-Bedford-Fulton district was held In McConnellsburg on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, and re sulted iu the nomination of John S. Welier, Esq., of Bedford, on the fifth ballot. The nominee Is one of the rising young members of the Bedford bar, having served a term as district attorney of the county, the duties of which office he discharged with mark ed ability. He i a young man of fine appearand and pleasing address, and as a debater and stump-i-paker has al ready acquired an enviable reputation, and will early take rank among the leading members of the highest legis lative body of the State. Coming as he doe from good old Somerset county stock, his Republicanism is of the all-wool-and-yard-wide variety, so highly prized and esteemed by all loyal Som erset county Republicans. His elec tion, by a handsome majority, will fol low as a matter of course, and we pre dict that in him the district will have an able and conscientious representa tive. While regretting thjit Somerset county's very capable and popular can didate, Mr. J. J. Hoblitzell, could not obtain the nomination, the Herald receives most cheerfully the nomina tion of Mr. Welier, and places his name in the list of Republican candi dates at the head of its columns. The Republican Congressional Con ference for this, the Twentieth district, met at Johnstown Tuesday evening of last week, and was in session until Fri day morning, when an adjournment was had to meet at the same place this, Wednesday, evening. At last week's conference nothing was accomplished further than effecting an organization. The P.lair county candidate, Mr. Hicks, iu a newspaper article, advocated re manding the question of who shall be the nominee tack to the Republican voters of the district and allowing them to express a choice as to the four candidates at a primary election to be held in the several counties of the dis trict, the candidal receiving the highest number of votes to be declared the nominee by the Conference, but when Mr. Barker, one of Mr. Evans' conferre a, introduced a resolution to this effect, Mr. Hicks' con ferrees curi ously joined with those of Mr. Kooeer and Mr. Thropp in voting it down. The leading Republican daily papers of the district, notably the Johnstown Tribune and its namesake of Altoona. strongly commend the proposition as a safe and speedy deliverance from the danger of a threatened protracted dead lock, similar to that of two years ago. In a published interview in the Johns town Tribune Somerset's candidate, Mr. Kooser, opposes this niofe of mak ing a nomination and gives his reasons for so doing. At this stage of the Con ference the Herald does not think it fair to the several candidates to insist that this method of making a nomina tion be adopted, and tntertains the hope that the several candidates will shortly get together and agree upon one of their number as the nominee. Should they not 1 able to do this within the next several weeks, then they owe it to themselves as well to the Republican voters of the dis trict to adopt some such method as that proposed by Mr. Barker's resolu- lion to give the party an acceptable candidate. There must be no nomina tion paper monkey-business in the 20th district this year. Kmjobi for Pride. From the New York Tribune. It is a good time to tie an American, Every American who is a patriot has rea son for a certain pride in these days, lie may be proud of his President, the cool, self-poised, long-headed man who knows hit the nation requires and does it. tie may lie proud of his army, of the soldiers of whom the Spanish officer said: oever saw such fighters." He may be proud of bis navy which, counted as sixth in the world's eatim alion four mou ,bs ag , ami counts as second now. lie may be proud of his people who have asked a aolutely nothing for themselves, and take what comes only because they cannot shirk a responsibility. la these diys the American who is not prond of his country shows that he has something out of order in his mental constitution. This nation does not want much, and can set an exampl to all the worldof free dom from territorial greed. Our people conquer an extensive territory, aud then with great hesitation consider whether they will take and keep any part of it. If they do it will be not because they want more care and responsibility, but because they cannot see how to get rid of it. That also is a thing of which Anericns hive a right to be proud. Their refusal to claim half that they might under international laws does not hurt them in the eyes of the world, nor does their refusal to shirk a legitimate duty. They have a right to be proud of the spirit shown by their Congress. The na tion needsd a large sum, and could not judtfe hoar much. Its representatives promptly, and its Senate after less talk and UUy than is customary in that body, voted ah iut $i.Vl,0XVO additional taxes and aulh irir.eid the tJivern nnt to bor row f3K),Xl,0(K).

Whenever the foreign holders want to sell, Americans are ready to buy, and glad to take for themselves the profits on the foreigo cap ital invested here. A financially powerful nation might be W3k in national spirit or infighting qualities. But this Valion is not weak iu either respect. It has never been beaten iu any war, though compelled in its child hood to contend against Great Britain for its freedom. It advances to a leading place among nations, not because it has ought that or any other responsibility. Iu people perceived their duty and ob liged their Government to recognize it, and so it quickly came to pass that the Republic ot the New World was found sufficiently powerful to be respected and feated, but wit hoot the disposition to en gage in combat with any other nation. Americans desire above all fair dealing. and have felt quite aure that so much no other nation would refuse. If they gain in consideration and in power It ia not because they have demanded these from the ouUide world, but bncaaae the world has ootne to recognise what they can do if any tee J prevent itself.

Big Internal Sevenue. Washington, D. C, August 19. Ac cording to figures received by the Com missioner of Internal Revenue there is a possibility that the iucome of I'ucle Sam from the war revenue measure aud other sources will swell the total internal reve nue rece!pta to aM),um,00 for the fiscal year ending June 30, At present the expenditures on account of the war approximate (I OOO.Oot) daily, and, according to the statement of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the receipts from his branch of the public service are just about enough to cover the war expenses. A Triumph of Modern Surgery. The reputation of the well known spe cialists, Drs. Sadler and Sigmann, 804 Peun Ave., Pittsburg, Pa., ia too well es tablished to neea much comment. The thousands of deaf and blind people who have been restored to hearing and sight by these most eminent surgeons, are by far the be t recommendation of their merits. To the long list of marvelous operations which have been performed in tb'ir offices, a new one is added through the case of Mr. Maasey, 107 Third Street, S.8., Pittsburg Pa. His right eye-ball was pierced by a piece of Steel in February last. The wounl healed after a protract ed and painful period of recovery, but the vision was totally gone, which was partial ly due to a cataract which developed in the injured eye; partially also to inflam mation of the tender inside structures covering the pupil with an impenetrable membraue. Dr. Sigmann, to whom Mr. Maraey entrusted bis case, performed a so called Iridectomy (making an artificial pupil), removed the cataract, aud now, eigh weeks after the operation, Mr. Maseey is a happy man. lie sees (with glasses), even small objects at a long distance, and can read coarse print.

Captor is LegaL That the capture of Manila after the 1 peace protocol was signed can have no effect upon our legal title to hold it is in dicated by the following article from the United States army re?ulation: 'An armistice is WudlfcJ upon the bel ligerent from the Cuy of the agreed com meucement, but the otiiceni of the army are responsible from the day ooly svhen tbey receive official notice of its exist ence." Under this rule, Admiral Dewey and General Merriu would be bmnd by tbs ai inislice only from the time the notioe cf it reached them at Manila. TRKS OF THE Kaaiia aad its Eobnrbt Inoladed ia the Capitulation. Washisutos, Aug. 21. Cable com munication with Manila has bee-n re stored but no dispatches ' from Admiral Dewey were received during the diy, and the only message lht came from General Merritt announced the arrival of Major General Elwell S. Otis, with the transport steamers Peru and City .of Pueblo. He reported that ail were well ou board and that there bad been no cas ualties during the voyage. The War Department yssterday re ceived the following d!.patoh from Geu. Merritt, dated the same day : "The following are the terms of the capitulation : "The nudersigued, haviug been ap pointed a commission to determine the details of the capitulation of the city and defenses of Manila and its suburbs and the Spanish forcea rtatloned therein, in accordance with agreement entered into the previous day by Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt, Uuited Slates Army, American commander-in-chief in the Philippines, and Ilia Excellency Don Fermin Jau denee, acting general-iu -chief of the Spanish army in the Philippines, have agreed upon the following : "The Spanish troops, European and native, capitulate with the city and de fenses with all honors of war, depositing their arms in the places designated by the authorities of the United Slates, and remainiug in the quarters designated and under the orders of their officers and su b- ject to the control of the aforesaid United States authorities on til the conclusion of a treaty of peace between the two bel ligerent nations. All persons included in the capitulation remain at liberty, the officers remaining in their respective homes, which shall be respected as long as they observe the regulations prescribed for their government and the laws in force. Ollicers shall retain their side arms, horsea and private property. All publichorsea and public property of all kinds shall bs turned over to the statf officers designated by the United States. Complete returns in duplicate of men by organizations and full lists of public property and stores shall be rendered to the United States wilhin 10 days from this date. All questions relating to the repatriation of oificers and men of the Spanish forces and of their families knd of the expenses which said repatriation may occasion shall be referred to the gov ernment of the United States at Wash ington. Spanish families may leave Ma nila at any time convenient to them. The return of the arms surrendered by the Spanish forces shall take place when they evacuate the city, ' or when the American army evacuates. Officers and men incluied in the capitulation shall be supplied by the United States, according to their rank, with rations and necessary aid as though they were prisoners of war until the conclusion of a treaty of pence between the United States and Spain. All the funds in the Spanish treasury and all other public funds shall be turned over to the authorities of the United States. This city, its inhabitants, its churches and religious worship, its educational establishments and its private property of all descriptions are placed under the special safeguard of tho faith and honor of the American army." Among the war officials the terms ol the capitulation of Manila, as cabled by Gen. Merritt, were a topic of discuasion. Xo light has been thrown upon the terms by Gen. Merritt. He merely cabled the terms themselves, expecting probably to forward by mail the construction placed npon them by the American and Spanish ollicers at Manila. Unofficial advices from Manila previous to the arrival of the. text .of the terms indicated that the capitulation of the city included the sur render of the Philippines and that Span ish sovereignty over the entire archipela go was, temporarily at least, at an end. This view is not sustained by the condi tions of the surrender as cabled by Gen. Merritt, and it is not the view taken by the best informed officials of the admin istration. While some of the war author ities last night were incliued to the opin ion that the articles of capitulation, neces sarily temporary and somewhat elastic In their phraseology, might be construed to mean the surrenderor Spanish control over the entire Philippine group, the prevalent opinion uow is that tbey mean precisely what they say aud that the surrender includes only the city of Ma nila and its immediate surroundings, or "suburbs," as it is expressed in the ar ticles. Ovation to the Fleet. Nkw York. Aug. 21. The parade of the seven ships from Admiral Sampson's squadron yesterday was a magnilicent event. Hundreds of thousands of people witnessed from steamboats and the ad jacent shores the stately march of tie New York, Brooklyn, Oregon, Ioaa, lu diana, Massachusetts and Texas from Stat en Island up the Ilulsm river to Grant's tomb, where a salute of 21 guns was fired, and their retjrn to their auchorsge in the harbor. Kirly in the morning Mayor Van Wyek and the re ception committee took a steamer for the ships, then lying off Toropkinsville. On arriving on board Admiral Simpson's flagship, the New York, the mayor addressed Admiral Smnpson say ing in part: "Honored sir, admiral commanding the victorious North Atlautic squadron of the American' navy, returning from the never-to-be-forgotten triumph at San tiago, in behalf of the people of the city of New York, it is a high privilege, as their chief magistrate, to present to you and through you to every officer, marine, sailor and landsman under your com mand the warmest welcome home.- "The navy of the United States has eclipsed itself. Never while history con tinues to instruct men, and the memory of American deeds remains to Imprbs freemen or make tyranny tremble, em the battle which saw the Spanish fleet annihilated on the coast of Santiago be forgotten. In the contemplation of vic tory, the skill, the courage and the mag nanimity of the victors, together wi.h the far-reaching effects upon the future of the civilized world, that engsgemeat stands without a parallel in the history of man. "My highly-prized duty is to extend to you, the officers, marines, s tldiers and men of the North Atlantic sq'iadron, the congratulations and hearty welcome f the people of the Greater New York and the freedom of the city." Admiral Sampson replied : "Mr. Mayor and gentlemen Permit me to thank you, on behalf cf the officers and men of the navy, who, through their efforta, have won your congratulations. I am sure that were they here, standing with me, and could hear you talk, they would ap preciate It, as I do. We have done cur duty only, and wears consequently deep ly grateful to you for expressiug the thanks and congratulations of the people of the city, which you have done in such glowing terms, for what little we have accomplished. I thank you, Mr. Mayor, exceedingly." Every vessel in the harbor was decked in its colors, and as the squadron sUsmed up the river and back, there was a coi - ' tinuocs roar of cheers, marked with the thunder of saluting gnus.

Aup. 23. Candidate Georg A. Jenks' speech at Bedford, accepting the Democratic nomination for governor, has decidedly fa'.liii :n distinctly fiat. As a keynote of an aggressive cam paign, it Is a note that has already ror.e to protest. Of course everybody know s that Republican defeat in Penn sylvania cannot be accomplist-ed by Democratic votes. None but Uepubll caas can defeat P.epublican candidates In this state, and a Democratic candi date, at the beginning of a hopeful can didacy, must somehow appeal to a cer tain element of the dominant party. This Pattison was cunning enough to do in 1SS2 and In 1X90, and this Mr. Jeuks, with all his skill and experience in pleading before a jury, has con spicuously failed to do In 1S3S. The dissatisfied element among Re publicans here, so far as it "lsts. which reprepents the disappointed am bitions of men to whom the very name of any successful Republican leader is as a red rag to a bull, hailed the speech with Instant resentment, because it was simply a reiteration In general terms of old charges which bad been threshed over and forgotten, and said nothing specific, and nothing person I ly offensive, against Senator Vfuay. While they were sore and disappointed, straight backed Repub'icans were pleased that even so skillful an advo cate could make no brtter case against them. A prominent pub tc man Trim the northwestern part of the state put the feeling veiy pointedly in the fol lowing words: "'I have read Mr. Jenks' speech of ac ceptance with much interest naturally. Even if it had no relation to the cam paign. I should have been Interested, because his reputation as an adroit and skillful lawyer, cunning before a jury in making the best possible plea'tn the face of adverse evidence, is celebrated wherever he Is known. His Bedford speech Is worthy of his reputation. It- skillfully avoids specific statements. The word 'Democratic' does not ap pear In It at all, and the word 'Repub lican' only once, and to one who reads it without thinking the impression might be conveyed that both these par ties had in some miraculous manner been swept beyond the borders of the state. "The fatal weakness cf his speech Is not in the pleader, but In the case. He probably put it as shrewdly as any body could. Cut when even the most cunning master of language Is forced to appear as the hopeless spokesman of a party which has no record in pub lic affairs to point to. and a record in national affc.irs which it is compelled to point away from, he Is at a great disadvantage.- "The gist of Mr. Jt-nks' speech Is the special plea that It is quite consistent for anybody to vote for him and his as sociate Democratic candidates upon th? state ticket and at the same time to vote for Republicans Tor congress. If this were so It would include, of . course. In the list of candidates eligible for Democratic votes the two Republican candidates for congressmen at large and the Republican state senators and memler8 of the legislature, who will elect a United States senator. "It would be absurd to vote one way for members of the one branch of con gress and vote the opposite way for members of the other, especially when the I'nited States senate is as cl se as It Is now. "This theory, that the record and purposes of the Republican and Demo cratic parties can be conveniently hung up behind the door, the mean ing of the vote this year forgotten, and the campaign narrowed down to a promiscuous guerrilla conflict, will not. I think, commend itself to the Iemo cratlc party any more than to the Re publicans. It would mean disaster to any organization. One cannot follow or.e flag on one wins of the battle and carry a hostile banner on the other, any more than he can serve In the American army and the Spanish navy at the same time. The line must be kept consistent and Intact. The man who attempts to ride two horses go ing In opposite directions will go no where but to fall, and he who tries to belong to two churches of different creeds will probably lose his stand ing In both. It Is In-fore a'l things the party crei ds w hich are at Issue In this campaign. Aside from tlv-ir personal friends, the greater part of the people of Pennsylvania do not much -car which of them, Mr. Jenks or Colonel Stone, la elected governor, so far as Ilher of them is Individually concern id. But the people of Pennsylvania are dteply Interested and determined. If w can Judge the present by the past, to s:e to it that the principles and pur pores of the Republican party shall nt-t be repudiated and set aside to give place to those which Mr. Jenks' can didacy undeniably represents before the state and the country, however cun ning he may seek to disguise the fact. Like a good lawyer, he has made the best of a bad case, but the Jury in this trial has time to think before the verdict; and I have no notion that it will be mis'.cd." There are few men In Pennsylvania better known than Jerome U. Niies, cf Tioga, ex-auditor general of the state. He is recognized as one of the stn.nj est men in the northern tier, and his long and distinguished connection with public affairs makes his utterances al ways time'y anJ valuable. While not referrir.g di.tctly to the speech of th? Democratic candidate, what he Baid ester lay vs evidently Inspired by It Mr. Ni.'es aid: "Our Den; .rilic friends cannot shirk the naticr,::! istuts In which our pres ent and future welfare are so vitally concerned. The voters of this most In telligent state will not, by them, be de ceived. In 19S they went before the country contending for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and plead ing for a tariff for revenue only. They are, in this state, seemingly anxious to abandon their position taken in the last campaign. They do not like to have anything said about free silver or about free trade. The marvelous and mys terious connection which they had cis rovered between wheat and silver dis appeared Immediately after the elec tion of Mr. McKlnley. In thousands of speeches they cried out that we would ru'.n the American farmer by Insisting upon a currency founded upon a gold basis. They insisted that when silver went down In the scale of values that wheat went with It. That upon the fi nancial question they were a sort of Siamese twins. And yet, in this, as in all things else, they have been mis taken. As soon as it was ascertained that our currency was to be continued on a solid basis, wheat began to go up and silver kept on going down. The mysterious connection was broken. There have been times since when It would have taken enough silver bul lion to make three silver dollars to buy one bushel of wheat. "The Republican party has been Iq this state on the right side of all the great public questions of the last four decades. Where are the public meas ures that our Democratic friends have originated? They canot be found. In this state, at least, the Democrctlc rarty has even been like the hind w heels cf a wagon, crawling along In the rear, keeping Just so far behind, always using as a camping ground the place occupied by the Republicans In the years that are gone, always keep ing Just far enough from the front to be of no service In the settlement of 1 ublie questions. "We Jud;e men, and we should Judg political parties, by what they have done and not by what they promt to do. You form your opinion as to the future conduct of your neighbor by an examination of his past life. Political parties are cumpesd of Individual, acl what la true of the- Individual D.r- j son Is true of all political parties, be they either great or small. There is no allegation against either or the can didates personally that head the re spective state tickets. They are both worthy citizens. Each repreKCnts the traditions sr.d the principles of h s par ty. And the su.'-re.se of the Individual candidate will 1 th triumph of the party whose represenratU e fr the present he Is. "Colonel William A. fionc reprints the Republican party, with its glorious and illuminated hist-ry cf the pat third of a century. II represents a par ty that stands pk-ds. I to a financial policy that wl.1 for all time g.v ? us a currency which t-hai! Ik- as c.nchnn:-.-able as the bills and which shall b good as gold In any land upon w hi. h the suu In heaven sMr.es In raaklnS his diiily round. Colom-1 Stone repru. cuts i party that standi pledged to the main tenance of our present protective sys tem, whlth aff.iids f.iir and amp'e r?-li.-f to America industry: which rais-s e sufficient revenue to met ull the de mands of the peonle; w hit h is at all times able to protect the g-!d reserve in the national treasury and w hl-h os not compel the gov rrr. cent to sell Its bonds by the hundred millions to pay our running expenses In times of pro found peace and general prosperity. "Sir. Jenks and his ticket, so far as this state is concerned, di m-t represent anything. His party has not originated a single measure for the benefit of tne people. It has contented Itself in oppos ing Republican measures, and generally without success. From a national standpoint Mr. Jenks represents a tar iff for revenue only and the tre-t -nd unlimited roinage of C-rent dollars. No Democratic orator, durirg the pend ing canvass, will deliver a speech ad vocating either. They dare not here and now urge the principles of the Chi cago rlatform. If they would meet these issues fairly and squarely on tho stump and advocate the same d -c. trinca that they put forth at Chicago In lSi'0, the majority for Colonel Stone would be SOO.OOO. "In political rartles all cannot, at all times, have that to which ther feel th y are entitled. There -always has been; there always will be heart burnir;:s and bitter personal disappointments. Repulilitans should stand hy our m..st excellent state t'eket rrom the top to the bottom. There ha? ben. there will Ik? no allegation against the personal fitness of a single one from the b'ad to the foot of the list. The.y are all good men and true. We know of their ante cedents. It is vastly Important that we should have a delegation In' congress as nearly our way as possible. A dele gation that will at all times stand by the financial and revenue measures to which our party has been so long com mitted. "We all understand. If such a thing were possible, what the election of th Democratic ticket in November would stand for. It would be said from tho busy Atlantic coast to the golden shores of the Pacific; from our north ern lakes to the land of the orange and the magnolia, that the stror.g-st pro tective state in the rcrul-'lc had r? pudlatid Its own Idea, and that In mat ters of finance Its people preferred th. theories of William J. P.rvan to the facts, logic and sound prkirlrf 3 of Wiiliam McKlnley, who today is the most respected, the most honored and beloved citizen of the republic."
