Our soldiers were far more successful In their war against rain than in their war against sickness and death. Of coir.se, Spain does not like all the terms of peace. The siek man is not expected to eDjoy the done of med icine the doctor gives him. If we have universal peace, what will the diplomats do for employment? For this reason, perhaps, they will Bee to it that their business is not destroyed. Spain feels too weary at present to engage in a revolution. The Spanish people have changed their opinion in regard to war. It is too full of start ling surprises to suit their tastes. Jamaica, a British possession, wants to pet under Uncle Sam's flag. We might trade the Philippines for Jam aiea. We have Mauds to trade with. and we did not have any a year ago. The peace commission will have no easy tank before it, but the men Fresi dent McKinley has chosen are not afraid of hard work, and there is no danger that the hard work will not be well done. The Republican Congressional Con ference was in sessson at Johnstown on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, and, without accomplishing anything, adjourned to meet at the same place on Tufsday of next week. One of the most confident men in the world is the politician just before he is defeated. After the catastrophe he resembles the prize-fighter who didn't win he is able to explain all about the knock-out blow. If annexation- lie a crime, as some would have us believe, I'ncle Sam ought to have been put under arrest many years ago, for be has been an ardent annexationist ever since he be gan business in this hemisphere many years ago. It is quite true to say of President McKinley that he is winning "golden opinions from all sortsot people." But one judgment is expressed on this point throughout the United States, and it will be observed that many European journals join in. In aocxh ntixu for her misfortunes and afflictions, Spain is careful not to pick upon anybody who is able to "take it up." She places all the blame at the feet of Columbus, the original expand er, who had the courage to discover a new continent and make free govern ment a possibility. Every voter should examine the a-tsessor's ij. jn district UJ see to it that his name is on the list, so as to not lose his vote this fa!1. This is an important matter to every voter, and no vote should be lost by oversight Go and examine the list at once and see that you are properly registered. If the camp hospitals are lacking in facilities, food and delicacies for the sick soldiers, there are plenty of homes throughout the land that would be only too happy to receive the invalids. And where there are facilities, there the sick and wounded should go, no matter at what expense to red tape and military precedents. To relieve the suffering caused by a brave and unselfish devo tion to duty should now l the united object of Government ar.d people. Thi rsdav. September eighth, is the last day o be assessed so as to vote this year for Governor. All young men past twenty-two years of age must be assessed and pay a tax to entitle them to vote, ' The young man who voted last year on age must this year be as sessed and pay a tax to entitle him to vote. When you read this, think over the young men in your neighborhood, and how many of them come within this rule. The War Department on Monday is sued an order containing detailed in structions for the mustering out of v 1 unteere. A most commendable feature of these instructions is the requirement of a careful examination and full record of the physical condition of every man before his discharge, for reference In case of an application for tension. It may become an Interesting question whether, even with such a record, a disability arising in the future can not be traced to service in the army; Itut the experiment is worth trying. In a Democratic country all locali ties have to be recognized in selections of bodies to represent the r hole Nation. The Peace Commission meets all the re quirements in this direction. One of its members is from New England, an other is from one of the Middle S;a" s another is from the northern half of the region between the Alleghenies and the Mississippi, another Os from the South, and another belongs to the west of the Mississippi. While personal fit ness has been the most important con sideration in tbj choice of the coun try's representatives in the Paris con vention, geographical demands have not been neglected. So it has been decided by the Dem ocrats cf this Stale to make the cam paign this year an exceedingly hot one, saya the Ilarrisburg Telegraph. Brass bands, orators aud other wind iuHt.ru- menu will be called upon to make aa much noise aa possible, there will be tons and tons of literature sent all over the State, as if that sort of thing ever had any effect or ever did any good, the Republican ariy will be held up to worn and ridicule, men who have been good citizens all their lives will be call ed thieves, robbers and cut-throats, and altogether there will be a great time for the Democracy this year. Let the band play and the orators spout; let there be abuse galore on the part of the Democ racy against the Republicans; when th votes are counted next November they will find that the loyal and patriotic honest citizens of this old Keystone State have elected Colonel William A. Stone and the entire Republican State ticket, and clinched it by electing a Legislature that will be largely Repub lican in both branches, thus ensuring the election of a Republican United States Senator. Tie Aasanlt ea Eepablicaaiiia. From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Any etrangrer reading the reports of the meetings of the so-called Business Men's League would naturally suppose that Pennsylvania is an unsafe place to live in. There are resolutions which paint a terrible state of affaire and speeches which call men thieves and charge them with nearly every crime short of deliberate murder, n ere, for instance, is the prin cipal agitator in the association indulging in an arraignment which includes hid eous and profane orgies," the "suspicious burning of the Capitol," "onslaught on the treasury," "padded pay rolls," Grace Church scandals," "crime so gross," "iraua so paipauie,- uu n uu through columns of invective until one would naturally suppose that Pennsyl vania, instead of being the great and proud State she is, is nothing but a dangerous dan of thieves. And what does it all meant Nothing on the face of the earth except a political attack on the Republican party, which, in all the years of its management of the Stale administration, has made the mag nificent record of accounting faithfully for every penny. There has never been a defalcation to the amount of a single dollar. And vhat is the object of these attacks found! upon an exaggerated imagination T Simply to break down the Republican party at a time when every Republican force in State and nation is needed to grapple with the great and new issue which are opening np as the result of the war. Because a few men seeking po litical advancement, have started into tear down other men who have been placed in office by the people, "crime" and "fraud" must be shouted from the housetops and men are expected to believe that Repub licinisiu is rotten to the core. Is any Republican voter who knows that his party is not corrupt, who realizes this importance of keeping Pennsylvania incomplete touch with the national ad ministration, is any such voter going to be turned aside by reiterations of the virulent abuse that already has been overwhelmed at the polls by a free and independent people who would have none of it? Are the Republicans of Pennsyl vania going to follow the so-called Busi ness Men's League into alliance with Democrats, PopocraUs Populists any where and everywhere an opportunity offers to defeat a Republican candidate fur the Legislature? Are the Republi. caus of Pennsylvania ready to send other than a Republican to the United States Senate? The League has had two experiences, and, deserted by its president, who is presumably no longer in sympathy with its aims, is about to start on a third cam paign. What it will do beyond making ils openly avowed alliances with every dissatisfied political element in Pennsyl vania perhaps it does not know itself. but the lews said about its previous cam paigns the better for it. It entered poli tic with an attempt to defeat Penrose for the Senatorehip, and well-known bood le claiming to represent the organiza tion filled the streets of Ilarrisburg with the scandal of their own doings and at tempted to carry debauchery to a limit never before dreamed cf in this or any State debauchery under the white bau ner of political purity! Then it turned its attention to the Governorship and ap pealed directly to the Republican voters, and was overwhelmingly beaten by the popular vote. It has been at work ever since in the Legislative districts, and in almost every instance has been thrashed as of old. We do not believe that the people of Pennsylvania are in any mood to listen to campaign orators who deal In personal epite and try to promote personal ir teres ta by outrageous assault upon everything Republican. Republican rule has brought prosperity, and we rather think that the party, under the leadership of Colouel William A. Stone, the veteran soldier, and General Gobin, now with the troops, can r-j trusted, dexpite those who prefer to run things according to their own peculiar notions. TiOOPS TO VOTE II CAMP. Old Soldier ta Bnperviie Elections. Governor Hastings and Attorney Gen eneral McCoriuick have considered the law of 186 relating to the voting of troops in the field, and the Governor is quoted assaying: "This act of Assembly is very complete in providing the machinery for holding the elections at the various camps. It is made the duty of the Secre tary of the Commonwealth to cause to be printed a sufficient number of copies of this act, with such extracts from the Gen eral Election law as shall be deemed im portant to accompany the same, and blank forms of poll books, with tally lists and returns, which shall be forwarded by Commissioners or otherwise, to the cap tain or commanding officer of each com pony, or in case of detached voters, to the officer having charge of the post or hos pital, a lio shall retain the same nntil the day of election, and then deliver the same to the judges elected aa provided in the act." No appropriation has been made for the payment of the expenses of holding the elections, but certain public spirited citizens, believing that the patriotic spirit of the Legislate re soon to be convened in regular session will be such that it will prompt them to appropriate moneys suf ficient to reimburse the mm paid, have agreed to advance the necessary money to bold such election. The Executive has deemed this course much wiser than the convening of the Legislators for the purpose of making an appropriation, as the expense attendant upon a special session of the Legislature would be mora than $100,0110 in excess of the cost incident to the holding of the elections, and would thus entail upon the taxpayers what aeema to be an unneces sary x pense. It is understood that it is the Governor's intention to select representative soldiers of the war of the rebellion to act as coin mlwioners frr the regiments recruited In their rw-pectire local i tie. It is estimated that the cost of holding these elections, if all the regiments remain in the field, in cluding the pay of the commissioners, will not exceed 17,000 all told. It is ex pected, however, that about half of the' regiments from Pennsylvania will be dis banded prior to the election. Gav tigat U a Child. Baltimore, Md Aug. 27.

By order of Emperor Nicholas, Count Muravieff, the Foreign Minister, on the 24th icU handed to the foreign diplomat at St. Petersburg a note declaring that the maintenance of peace and the reduction of the excessive armaments now crush ing all nations is the ideal for which all nations ought to strive. The czar considers the present moment favorable foi the inauguration of a move ment looking to this end, and invites the powers to take part in international con ference as a means of thus insuring real and lasting peace and terminating the progressive increase of armament. " L05D03T, August 25. The czar's propo sition for an international conference for the purpose of securing real and lasting peace among the powers and the termi nation of the progressive increase in arm ament, as conveyed in a note from Count Muravieff, the Russian Foreign Minister, to the foreign diplomats at St. Peters burg, is likely to produce a sensation throughout Europe, and, coming from such a quarter and with such evident sincerity of purpose, it is likely to have Important effects. There is no doubt that with Russia taking the lead in uch a step, Germany, France and the other nations wilt be ready to follow. WHAT NICHOLAS PBOPOSE8. The text of the note is aa follows : "The maintenance of general peace and the possible reduction of the excess ive armaments which weigh upon all nations present themselves in existing conditions to the whole world as an ideal toward which the endeavors of all gov ernments should be directed. The hu manitarian aud magnanimous ideas of bis majesty, the emperor, my august master, have been won over to this view in the conviction that this lofty aim is-in conformity with the most essential inter ests and legitimate views of all the pow ers, and the imperial government thinks the present moment would be very favor able to seeking the means. ' International discussion is the most effectual means of insuring all people benefit a real durable peace; above all. putting an end to the progressive devel opment of the preseut armaments. " In the course of the )aai twenty years the lunging for general appeasement has grown specially pronounced in the con science of civilized nations, and the pres ervation of peace has been put forward as an object of international policy. It is in its name that great state have con cluded among themselves powerful al liances. "It is better to guarantee peace that tbey have developed in proportions hitherto unprecedented, than military forces and still continue to increase them. without shrinking from any sacrifice. " Nevertheless all these efforts have not yet been able to bring about the benefi cent result desired pacification. A MISTAKEN POLICY. "The financial charges following the upward march strike at the very root of public prosperity. The intellectual aud physical strength of the uatiuu's labor and capital are mostly diverted from their natural application and are un pro ductively consumed. Uundieds of mil lions are devoted to acquiring terrible engines of destruction, which though to day regarded aa the last work of science. are destined to-morrow to lose all their value in consequence of some fresh di covery in the same field. National cul ture, economic progress and the produc tion of wealth are either paralyzed or checked in development Moreover, in proportion as the armaments of each power increase, they less and less fulfill the object the governments have set be fore themselves. " The economic crisis, doe in great part to the system of armaments l'out rance, and the continual danger which lies in this massing of war material, are transforming the armed peace of our days into a crushing burden which the people have more and more difficulty in bearing. "It appears evident that if this state of things were to be prolonged, it would inevitably lead to the very cataclysm it is desired to avert, and the horrors here of make every thinking being shudder in advance. "To put an end to these incessant arm aments and to seek the means of ward ing off the calamities which are threat ening the whole world such is the su preme duty to-day imposed upon all states. "Filled with this idea, his majesty has been pleased to command me to propose to all the governments whose representa tives are accredited to the imperial court, the assembliug of a conference which shall occupy itself with this grave prob lem. "This conference will be, by the help of God, a happy presage for the -century which is about to open. It would con verge into one powerful focus the efforts of all states sincerely seeking to make the great conception of universal peace triumph over the element of trouble and discord, and it would at the same time cement their agreement by a corporate consecration of the principles of equity and right, whereon rest the security of states and the welfare of peoples." Ha Xtdiain for tut Dying. CHAiiBERKBt-iui, Pa., August 26. The terrible mismanagement of the sick sol diers at Sautiago, as described in a letter by Dr. James K. Kennedy, first assistant surgeon in the Second Division Hospital, Fifth Corps, ia calculated to cause wide spread horror. Doctor Kennedy is presi dent of the Chambersburg Borough Coun cil, and was formerly an army surgeon in Arizona. After giving an account of the over-crowded condition of the hospital and the heartlessness of some of the offi cers, he aays: "Above all is the utter lack of suitable medicines to combat disease. There baa been so much diarrhoea, dysentery and fever, and no medicine at all to counter act them, that men have actually died for want of it. Four days after my reporting here there was not a single medicine in the entire hospital for the first two earned, and nothing hut quinine for the fbver.and no tonic save one preparation of iron for convalescents. The one preparation of iron will not agree with nine-tenths of them, and when the soldier or officer can not take quinine he has simply nothing to take. "A captain sent to the Olivette for dys entery medicine for his dying son. Thore were quarts of it on the ship, but the offi cer refused to give the medicine because he might need it himself. The doctor went down on the Olivette and says it was packed with storea for the hospital. under Red Cross teal, and not one pack age ever got to the hospital lie aays he saw a favored few break open boxes of champagne and liquors and eat ice cream packed in the cold storage department cf the Olivette by the Red Cross people." The letter is very long and bristles with outspoken criticism similar to the above. Earapcoa Sidti witk Garcia. "I was very favorably Impressed with the Cubans," said Admiral Sampson. "General Garcia is a grand old man and I learned to admire him during my short stay befora Santiago. I think it vary natural that ba should withdraw his men when it seems that h waa not invited to ' to witness the surrender of Santiago. It h t een asserted that he was Invited by j General SUafter. As to that I do not ' know. He said timsilf that he was not, aud under the circumstance it was ap propriate that he should be lovitL" Tat Foara CaaaiMioa Hamed. Washington, D, C, Aogusl Presi dent McKinley baa appointed hi five Peara Com miwionera Secretary Day, Senators Davis and Frye, Whitelaw Reid and Justice White although it was not until late this afternoon tht Justice White finally agreed to serve, after first sending a declination of an argumenta tive character, dwelling on the objections raised against him on account of his re ligion and the possible inconvenience his absence might cause the Supreme Court, which waa read iu Cabinet meeting. The President and all tha members of the Cabinet signed a reply, asking him to ac cept since they attach no importauce to the objections, which appeal brought a telegram in which he yielded." Mr. Reid's acceptance was received just before Cabinet meeting, so that the Presi dent was quite right in saying yesterday that he could not announce the last two members, because they had not accepted. A STRONG COMMISSION. President McKinley feels that he has gotten a first-rate Peace Commission, in spite of the declinations be received that limited him to one Democrat, which will be fully able to cope with the strongest men Spain can send. Judge Day represents President McKin ley'a personal views, has ail the negotia tions in his head, and is known and fear ed by the Spanish diplomats. Whitelaw Reid, as a former Ambassa dor to France, thoroughly acquainted with the French language, and Justice White, as a man of the same religion as that of Spain, understanding Spanish as well aa French, and thoroughly acquaint ed with civil laws, have peculiar qualifi cations, while the two Senators add to the dignity and strength of the American represents ti v-es. The President baa not yet formulated the instructions, and will be thinking over the question in all the light he can get during his outing. It is certain, how ever, that he will instruct the Commis sioners to ask at least for the retention of what we now hold under the peace pro tocol ia the Philippines, Manila and its immediate neighborhood, and it is prob able that he will instruct them to ask for the entire island of Luzon, ard, of course, with guarantees of good government to the other islands; for pledges that the other Islands shall not be ceded without our consent, and for commercial equality for our trade with them. He will not ask for the entire archipelago. Senators Davis and Frye and Mr. Reid, who would like to take the whole of the Philippine, would accept and execute such instructions. All other questions that the Spanish Commissioners may bring up, including the Cnban debt, will be brushed aside, and our representatives in Paris will keep the discussion to the question of the Phil ippines, presenting our demands in the form of an ultimatum upon which tbey will listen to argument, but which, after fair discussion, the Spanish Commission era must accept or reject. Judge Day, who will be the head of the American Commissioners, said again to day that the Commissioners would leave about the middle of September, and ought to conclude their labors by the middleof November. The Queen Regent, according to inform ation coming here to-day. is anxious to see the consummation of the peace nego tiations at an early day, and is using all her influence to bring it about, in order that Spain may recover from her losses as soon aa possible. Senor Sagasta may not carry out the predictions he has been making for home consumption about the numerous issues which he would bring up to prolong the negotiations, but, whether be does or not tbey will be cut short by the determina tion of President McKinley through our representatives to end the matter promptly. a Prevalent McKinley has no doubt what ever that Saln, after parleying as long as seems prudent, will accept our de mands as to the Philippiuea as she ac cepted all the rest of our .peace terms, aud expects to be able to celebrate the sign ing of the Treaty of Peace on Thanks giving day, and perhaps mention it in bis Thanksgiving proclamation. Good Wordi for ths War Board. The Navy Department has given out the following letter addressed by Secre tary Long to the president of the War Board,' Admiral Sicard, in recognition of its services, dated "Hingbam, Mass., August 21." "My Dear Admiral : In view of the practical ending of the war with Spain, aud the well-earned relief from further duty to which the naval war board is now entitled I cannot, though absent from the department, forbear to express to you, and through you to your associatee on the board Commodore CmwinsbiWd and Captain Maban (retired) the vtry high appreciation which the department has of the service it has rendered since the war began. That its members have been faithful and diligent in the highest, measure goes without saying, for tbey are animated by the high professional spirit which distinguishes the navy, and which they have themselves done much to stimulate and maintain. But from my personal knowledge and observation, I desire to add to this, that equally mark ed have been the intelligence, the wje judgment, the comprehensive fore thought, and the unfailing competency to meet every ex igeucy which have dis tinguished their deliberations and action. May it not be said that not one error has been made? Proper control by the de partment has been exercised over all movements in the field, and yet at the same time commanding officers have been duly left to exercise discretion and have never boen hampered in their work. I do not know bow your work, as mem ber of that importaut board, could have been better dune, nor where in the arena of the war you could have rendered bat ter service or deserved more honor." Spaniard! Tike a fro a Cabs. Santiago dk Cuba, August 2.V The Spanish tran porta San Francisco, San Au gustin, and Colon left this afternoon for Spain with 4,XS Spaniards, including fif teen officers and their families and four priests.' Eight men died on their way to the ships. Their corpses were "checked off" as passengers. It appears there have beeu many Instances of this during the embarcation of the Spaniards, the trans portatiun company thus being enabled to collect the paxsage money, a thing readily managed under the easy Inspection of the Americans. General Toral, when bidding adieu to the Spanish officers and men who were leaving, said : "Conquered, we yield with honor to ourselves and to Spain. - What ever may be the future of Cuba, history will preserve the story of your hemic aud noble deeds in this country. We regret our failure and its cost in treasure and iu blood, but you have nobly fought and no bly lost" General SbaAer and bis staff sailed this afternoon on the United SUtea transport Mexico. His departure waa not marked by special incident. On arriving at Mon tank Poiul be will go with Major Miley to Washington to meet President McKiu ley and Secretary Alger, afterward pro ceeding to San Francisco. . Dewey Caa Dock KU Ships. Ambassador Hay in a cablegram to the State Department says that the British Government has directed the Gjvercor of Hong Kong to accept Admiral Dew ey' application for prini-i.Mu dock and clean hi ship at Hong Kong. "I had a running, itching tore on my leg. Suffered tortures. Doau's Ointment took away the burning and itching in stantly and quickly effected permanent cure." C. W.

Readers of hwtory are often struck with the apparently needlass lack of d tail and frequent confusion and misin formation ou the part of historical writers but the present war and the new of it up to the moment furnish a good illustra tion of the difficulties sometimes encoun tered in the preparation of such matter. One might think that a complete scrap book of all the news of the Spanish American war would furuUh. material for a history complete in every detail 01 both caus9 and eents; but on Inspec tion the great quantity of reports of these matters seems to have clouded rather than clearud the facta. How, for instance. will ever be determined the number of reconceatrados there were at the begin ning of tha war or at Its close, or the size of the Cuban army on either of these dates? Where, in the thousands of col umn of printed matter descriptive of the battle of Santiago, ill be found the loss sustained by the Spanish? General Toral declined to make an estimate, and the moat daring of the correspondents gave up after a gueHS or two. The ques tion as to which of the Spanish ships w as first to sail out of Santiago Bay to be de stroyed by our fleet is not determined eveu by our own official reports of the affair, in which at least two ships are mentioned. Perhaps in the illustrations given a few out of a great number the Information might be Atrulsbed from Spanish sources, but in view of recent ex perience, this would be the most mislead ing of all. There is, indeed, a great deal that the historian wul have to guess at. REGISTER'S XOTICE.

At It) o'clock wesiart .iU march to Ujssille, a dwtanii of atwut seven miles. Tha march was tha hardest we have bad, aa the tU.v ex tremely hot and the road thick with dual. The d jst rose in clouds and set tled down on as eo that when we reach ed the station it would have beeu hr-poa-aible for our closeat friends to have reoofcT nized us or to have told the color of our clothing. At Kortsville we learned that transportation would not bo furnished ua until the following morniuc, eo we pitch ed our tonts and waited until 12 o'clock Tuesday night, when a train arrived to convey us to Lexington. We were pro vided with a'.eprs and passed the re mainder of the ni hi and all of the nez night tno-e cotn brtably than any we have enjoyed since leaving home. Sleep ing iu a Pullman car is quite a change for fellows who have beeu compelled to stretch ou the ground for cearly two month. We were fed on hard tack and corned beef on the trip, and asareeult the boys raided the market wagons sell ing fruit before we left Eoaaville. At six o'clock Thursday tuoruing we marched to our new camp ground, which are located about two miles from the city." Tht) camp ia located in the heart of a rich farming dwtriet and ail of the boys are delighted with it The air is pure and bracing. Water is supplied through pipes, each company being provided with a spigot. It is said that we will have our tents furnished with board floors, which, if done, will improve the health of the regiment, since most of the aicknesa we have had resulted from sleeping on damp ground. Two railroads run clone to the camp and the stations are within fe minutes' walk. Grasshoppers are a fearful pest here. Clothing and other articles of i 'earing ap parel, if lea lie on the ground . ir a abort time, are soon eaten full of boles by the hungry hoppers. The soil about Lexing ton is two feet deep aud of a reddish color. The principal crop grown ia corn, which grows to a height of about 12 leet. There ji a spring withiu a few minul.cn' walk of the camp that is historical. It is sur round ed by a memorial wall., ou which the names of the brave men who defend ed a fort against repeated attacks by In diaus in revolutionary days, are engrav ed. The fort was located near the spring. The memorial also contains the names of several women who made possible the successful defense of the fort by supply ing the men with water from the pring. We have had no opportunity as yet of forming an opinion cf the famed beauty of the Kentucky belles, but I will tell you something about tbcin in my next ietter. A Triumph of Modern Surgery. The reputation of the well known spe cialists, I)rs. Sadler and Siifiuann. fH Penn Ave., Pittsburg, Pa., is too well e tablUthed to neeu much comment. The thousands of deaf and blind peoplo who have been restored to hearing and sight by these most eminent surgeons, are by far the be-1 recommendation of their merits. To the long list of inarvelotisoperaliona which have been performed in tlr ir office, a new one is added through the case of Mr. Masscy, W7 Third Street, S. S., Pittsburg Pa. His right eye-ball waa pierced by a piece of Steel iu February last. The wound 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 lender inside structures covering the pupil with an impenetrable membrane. Ir. Sign) tnn, to whom Mr. Massey entrusted his case, performed a so-calletl Iridis-tomy (making an artificial pupil , removed the cataract, aud now, eight weeks after the operation, Mr. Massey is a happy man. lie aeea (with glasses) even am til objects at a long distance and can read coarse print.
