The saddest chapters in the history of the war of IfftW are now being written. The familiar phrase "The tkeletou array of the United States"' is begiu ning to have a new and sadder appli cation. Dos't lose your vote, if you have not already done so, get registered to day, the last day oa which you can do so. The States that are now taking their sick soldiers home are simply perform ing a duty that bhould have been done ly the War Department Wilis: Abraham Lincolu ran for re election in ISO, the Democratic plat form pronounced the war a failure. There have been later indications that tb Democratic party is a poor judge of war.

The organization of a political club in Chicago to promote a presidential boom for Colonel Roosevelt in 1104 is an admission that President M. Kinley will be re-elected in i:K). It is also a p-w-itive assurance that there is no hope for Colonel Bryan either in HWor 1904 It is all very well to expect our sol diers to bear hardships uncomplain ingly, but it is rather going to extremes to require them to starve to death with cheerful submission to official author ity, simply because the incompetents happen to be superior officers. The Democratic candidate for Gov ernor of Georgia says that "Free silver is not a cardinal doctrine of the Demo cratic party." It amounts to that in geographical spots. A cardinal Demo ratic principle in one State is some thing they never meat ion in another State. Admiral Schley, with other mem lers of the Porto Rico commission, have now started on their mission, which ought to prove a pleasaut, and by no means a difficult task. The peo ple of that island are rejoiced at the idea that they are coming under the government of the United States, and the hard problems that have arisen in Cuba do not exist in Fc.rio Rica Thk obstructions thrown in the way of Mis9 Clara Barton's rescue of the nutTering ia Havans. is strictly in ac cord with Sparisli pride, which holds fast to its ideal of honor, and will die before making any cunceshion, not forc ed, to the hated contpierors. When this feeling is supplanted in Cuba's capital by American sense, conditions will be different. Amosu the voluuteer regiments to be retained in the service fir the present, according to a receDt decision of the Secretary of War, is the Fifth Pennsyl vania, to which Company I, of this plsc, belongs. This will be unwel come news to a majority of the mem bers of Company I, who, now that there is no fighting to be done, are anx ious to be mustered out and return to their Lomes. If the volunteers want to go home, send them home. The war is over. 1 1 is asserted that ninety-five per cent, of the volunteers in the rarups in various parts of the country desire to be mus tered out, there being no chance of their setiug any fighting, but it is al leged that the officers are eppowed to being mustered out for the reason that a vat-t Kisjority of them are getting more pay now than tbey ever could make at borne. Kansas has raised this year one bushel of w'ctX for every man, voroaa anil child in the United Slates, and the people of Kansas declare that, had they known that Cuba, Porto Rico and Ha waii were to come under the United Sta'es flag, they would have raised a bushel for each of the inhabitants of those i!ee of the sea. Now all that Kansas needs to do is to unload ber Populists, and she ought to be su premely happy. President McKinley says that all charge of mi- management and neglect at army camps will be thoroughly in vestigated, and if there are iruilty par ties they will l punished. " The Presi dent is certainly not a man to tclerat such an ofTene, nor Is he ft man to pun ish without an investigation. That there have been some cases of ineffi ciency in the care of 200,000 men sud denly summoned to the field is not to te doubted. They are exceptional, and yet not to be excused. The business of sifting charges of neglect is one of stern but impartial justice. The charges must be specif c, n&t ramcrs set af aat by sen sationtlicts.

At a meeting held in Altoona Satur day the Blair county Democrats and Wanamaker Republicans effected a fusion on the Legislative ticket for the purpose of trying to defeat the election of the regular Republican nominees, who are supposed to be friendly to Senator Quay. The Democratic com mittee withdrew one of their Legisla tive candidates, substituting the name of an anti-Quay Republican. The Altoona Tribune says : -The Democrats and anti-Q'iay Repub licans are jubilant over the fusion. They claim that Messrs. Stewart and Stall will win out, and the Democrats nurse the hope that by means of the fusion they will be able to elect their entire county ticket. There is many a slip, however. between a County Committee meeting and a November election." The Republican Congressional Con ference is again in session at Johns town, and it is hoped that it will com plete its labors and give the Republi cans of the dko-ict a suitable candidate before the close cf the present week, The State campaign will be formally opened at Pittsburg to-morrow, and it is high time that the ticket in this con gressional district was completed, to the end that the campaign in the sev eral counties could be vigorously com menced. Every day's delay in making a nomination from this on will militate against the county ticket in each of the couuties of the district, and it is claim ed in at least two of them that If a con gressional nomination is not speedily made the success of their county tick ets will be endangered. A nomination, in order to have the candidate properly placed up n the ticket to be voted in November, must be made on or before Tuesday, September 27. The Demo crats of the district have not yet con vened their conferenee, and it is under stood that they are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the Johnstown gather ing, fully prepared to put a popular candidate, and one of unlimited means ia nomination in the event of a nom ination not being made in time to give the Republicans of the district ample opportunity to heal up all sores left by the protracted conference, and time to make a vigorous campaign. The sev eral candidates should and will be held to a strict accounting by the Republican voters of the district if a nomination ia not speedily made, and the success of the ticket is thereby jeopardized. The reply of Chairman Elkin, Chair man of the Republican State Commit tee, to the charges made by Mr. John Wanamaker against the Republican party is so complete that it a ill arouse the attention of every Republican voter in the State, We publish it in full else where in these columns, and earnestly commend its perusal to every reader of the Herald. Mr. Elkin speaks from knowledge, not from hearsay, and when he speaks of what the R publl can party has accomplished for the people of Pennsylvania, he simply gives facts. Iu speaking of this mat ter the Pittsburg Times say9 editorially: "Two notable utterances in the Slate campaign were put forth, yesterday an authorized interview, in answer to the re cant criticisms of Mr. Wanamaker, by Chairman Klkin, of the Republican State committee, and the speech delivered by Col. Stoue, the Republican candidate for Governor, at Williams Grove. After the abuse toat, duting the past few weeks, ba been heaped upon the party and its doings in Pennsylvania by disappointed and defeated tactiouists these utterances will be refreshing reading to giod Repub lican who, on account of the clamor. may have begun to fear that there was something terrible the matter with the great party with which they have been so long afli listed. Both Colonel Stone and Chairman Elkin are perfectly willing to meet their opponents upon State issues. and will do so from now until November ; but they ar a not on that account going to ignore the great National issues that are undoubtedly involved, or for one moment fail to warn the people of the ultimate ob ject of this State issue cry. "An ant i-Republican victory in Penn sylvania would at ouce be hailed by the very persons who inaugurated the State Issue dodge as a victory for every heresy of which Republicanism is the staunch enemy. Col. Stone well says that we want no discoveries in politics. We have been fighting with discoveries long enough. The Republicans rescued the country in 1H, and in less than two years they have more than redeemed ev ery promise. The people are not yet tired of the prosperity which th9 change on March 4, 17, brought about, and tbey are not so fickle as to take the foremost Republican State out of line at a time when it is necessary to clinch the advan tage of two years ag) and to administer the final blow to the political heresies which so defiantly reared their beads then. "As to the charges of party maladmin istration, the reader U couimeaded to the arguments of Col. Store and Mr. Klkin; but to what tbey say it might be added, not as an argument, but a showing what they amount to, that the sauio charges have been made for many years but du ring that very time, instead ol decreasing the faith of the people of the State in Re pabiicanism, it has come to pass that whereas 40,000 was once rtgarded as a phenomenal majority, 200,000 is now not considered as unusual or remarkable." Admiral Xontojo't Story. A copy of Admiral Montojo's report has been received at the navy department. The admiral aaya that in addition to the superior strength of the American ships at Cavite be owea bis defeat to laek of runners, the inaptitude of the machinists and the scarcity of rapid-firing cannon. Further be writes : "The Americans fired most rapidly, and ray flagship, the Christina, received a constant rain of fire. Cue shell put oat of action four rapid-firing guns, explod ed iu the ammunition room and forced me to flood the magazines. The steam and hand-steering gear were shot away la turn. The broadside guns continued tiring till there was ouly oue gunner and one seaman to man them. The ship be ing oat of control and riddled with shot, I fare orders to sink ber and signaled the Cuba and Luzon to assist in saving the remainder of the crew. The I'lloa, with only two available guns, continued firing rntil sunk by a shell that put out of action ber commander and half the crew at the two guns. The Caslilla kept firing with one stern gun till sink ing and on fire, when she was abandoned iu good order. Oa the reuewal of the attack by the Americans, at 1:. in the morning, and the final destruction of toy remaining armament, I gave orders to sink each ship and reach the shore, tak ing with me the flag and pennant, the money in the safe and breech plugs from the guns."

The pronouueed success of fieuotat Wanamaker in his gubernatorial cam paign lart spring evidently encourages bis friends in the hope that something remarkable will co-ue of his present one. Possibly he has gathered some military fame in thlate war which will commend him to the voters of the state. The kind of kuccass John meets within politics is very encouraging to his opponent. Lan caster iDToirer. . ' . The Uedford Inquirer says : The Re publicans of this Congressional district are gtting very tired of the deadlock business. The candid .tea and the con ferees as well, will likely hear from the people if this sort of thing is kept up much longer. The conferree system may have iu faults, but more depends on the character of the candidates and their con ferrees than on the system. If they are what tbey should be the welfare of the party and the success of its principle will be given greater weight than mere individual ambitions. The people are getting thoroughly sick of the rule or ruin policy of small politicians and polit ical jobbers and may take matters into their own hands, one of these days, in a way that will be very disappo n ing to the men who ignore their wishes. . In writing up the political situation in the Twentieth Congressional District, and Bedford county, James W. Israel, the versatile staff correspondent of the Pitts burg Dispatch, among other things in sizing up the Congressional muddle aayat "It is the biennial Chinese puzzle, and the public is becoming impatient to know if it is to be a chronic political ex hibition. "Congressman Hicks, of Altoona, has bad three terms and wants a fourth. It is Bedford's turn, but Joseph E. Thropp, who has the endorsement of that county, has the misfortune of being the late Thomas A. Scott's son -in law. lie was also unfortunate enough to have been born iu England. What is worse for his political fortunes is that he is anti-Quay. Tbropp has an idea that be can win. "F. J. Kooser looms op for the second time with the endorsement uf Somerset county, lit would like to serve a term in Congress and would not object to another until the census of 1900 will demonstrate that old Somerset has the necessary 40,000 population to relieve it from judicial thraldom with Bedford. Then Kooser expects to be elected judge, and this will satisfy his public ambition. "Alvin Evans once again comes to the center with Cambria at his back, but it is considered significant that twoof his oon ferrees are Senator Stineman and Flory Barker, the Cambria bosses. Oue of the political rumors is that Barker would not cast the nomination over his left should er, but this is unkind. "The four counties are to be om mend ed in returning this quartette of patriots every two years. Whether it will be a deadlock, as in the last Congressional election, with two candidates in the field, will develop in time. If the last Legisla ture bad abolished the miserable con ferree system, as provided in one of Sena tor John Brown's bills, these perennial squabbles for nominations would not furnish food for gessip. "To make a guess at the nominee would be hazardous. There are no precedents in the district. There are men who think that Thropp will be named ; others that Evans will be the successful one, and some who believe that Hicks' programme is to create a deadlock and then g iuto an independent fight with the support ot the National Congressional Committee. The public can have its choice." Says the Everett Republican: "The C Migressiotial Conference will meet again In Johnstown on next Tuesday. The Re publican favors the idea suggested by Congressman Uicks, which was endorsed by the Johnsown Tribune and other lad ing newspapers of the district, and which was embodied in a resolution offered by Mr. Barker, one of Cambria county's con ferrees, the adoption of which he advo cated. "The resolution provided that if a nom ination were not made by a fixed date the matter be referred back to the people ; that the Republican committees of the respective counties be directed to bold a primary election on a dy named at which the Republican voters of the district would have the oppcrtnnity to vote for any one of the four candidates. That as inn as it has been ascertained which one of the candidates had the largest vote, the conference be reconvened and that person placed iu nomination by the con ference. "If a nomination is not made next week the Barker resolution should he passed and the people of the district given the right to make a nomination. The inter ests of the Republican party of the dis trict are vastly greater than those of any individual candidate, and no one of the candidates before the conference who re ally has the interest of bis party at htart will jeopardize its chances of success by insisting on continuing the grind of a mill which means nothing and can do nothing except that which is dictated by the can didates before the conference. ' The proposition is eminently fair; eai h one of the candidates would have a like chance before the people to secure the coveted nomination. The will of the peo ple, as thus expressed at th ballot box, which is the cardinal principle of our government, would unravel the muddle, and the person thus nominated would be assured the united support of the Repub iicans of the district. "The Republican party of the 20th dis trict can not afford to chance the desper ate hazard forced upon it two years age, Unless a nomination can be made at an early day, this resolution provides the fairest and surest way in sight." . The 20.h and 21t congressional districts are having their biennial illustration of the beauties of the old conferree system. Each county casts three votes for its own candidate add the balloting goes on from day to day ad nauseam. The old relic of political barbirism bas beeu abolished nearly everywhere, but there are a few districts in Pennsylvania that still retain it, to the-havoc of party majorities and the disgust of voters. I'nioulown Staudard. Wanamaker is out in another fierce blast against Quay, who was all right un til he refused to help make Wanamakf r I'nited States Senator, since which time he bas been a very wicked politician. Candidate Jenks says be is against Quay. And the idiots who started the story that be is a candidate iu Quay's interests are to have another guess. But who in the world ever expected an old inos-tack Democrat to favor a good Re publican like Senator Quay? The story is the very acme of absurdity. Slaughter cf tat Derriihtt. Omdu man, where the fight took place last Friday between the English troops and the Dervishes, is near Khartoum, at the junction of the White and Blue Nile, in Upper Egypt. The number of la vishes engaged appears to have been about 30.000, while the English army was much smaller. The victory of the lattir, however, was complete, and the town and forts near by were captured. Valuable assistance appears to bave been given by the English gunboats, which forcec their way up the river after clear ing the banks of Dervishes. The Dervishes are a set of religious fanatic The origina'-or of the order, at least of this particular branch, was Mabi'i whose remains lie in Omdurman, which was in consequence defended to the last. Mabdi founded the city when be destroy ed Khartoum. The Dervishes are fierce and warlike and absolutely w ithout fear. Their con duct on Friday seems to bear out this estimate of them. Tbey bave been op pressing and robbing the people of the country along the Upper Nile, and the uallvos will be glad they are conquered. a OF THE HOT. State Chairman Elkin Dissects the Wanamaker Speech. fii kum i Pice The Chairman Says the Republican Party "Will Survive With Vlaror Un impaired." Having; Endured the Se cession of Such Men aa Horace Gree ley and Governor Cnrtln, and Lived Throngrh Elffht Tears of Cleveland and Eight Years of Pattlson. Philadelphia, Sept. 2. The political event of the week Is the scorching; re ply of State Chairman John P. Elkin to the tirade delivered by Mr. Wanamaker at the select gathering; of his 'business men In politics" last week. The chair man has Just returned from Chkka mauga, where he has been looking after the welfare of his brother. Lieutenant W. F. Elkin. and other fever stricken Pennsylvania soldiers. In discussing; the Wanamaker deliverance he said: "As chairman of the Republican or ganization I have done everything in my power to bring togethe.-, in a har monious campaign this fall, the con tending forces In Pennsylvania politics. In the making up of our executive and campaign committees we have been careful to give representation to all former factions In the party. In pursu ance of this policy we have solicited the co-operation and counsel of all "the leading and active party workers of the state, regardless of their past political affiliations. The organization bas re frained, up to this time, from entering into any discussion of the .questions that have divided our party in the state. When the organization was reck lessly and sometimes viciously attacked we have made no reply for the reason that we had hoped all differences would be fought out within party lines, and hence we were willing to abide the de cision of the Republican voters at the polls on the issues involved. Since, how ever, the Republicans in the conven tion assembled have decided their plat form of principles, and have nominated a ticket in accordance with the estab lished rules and customs of the party, and since the primaries held in the various counties throughout the' state have In most Instances nominated their county ticket, and we still find an or ganization declaring its purpose to be the overthrow of Republican suprem acy, we feel It is time for the party, through Its organization, to make re ply. OUTSIDE OF THE RANKS. "No one will deny to Mr. Wana maker, or any one else claiming to be a Republican, the . right to make any proper effort within the party lines to advance the cause be represents, but when, at a public meeting, called through the direction of hlmelf and friends, he places himself on record in the following language: Thus far we have carried a banner of protest against the state Republican party and its leadership and manipulation.' and then follows this up by the further statement, "This Is the plain duty today of the voters and taxpayers of Pennsyl vania, independent of old party lines or no parties, to exterminate the ma chine,' which 'machine' can only mean the Republican organization, there can, under these circumstances be no im propriety In an organization thus as sailed making answer In terms whose meaning will not and cannot be mis understood. We can only interpret the Utterances of Mr. Wanamaker to mean that he has placed himself entirely out side the Republican ranks, and is now determined to make such effort as he can to disrupt and destroy the party with which he has been affiliated until after the recent Republican state con vention. Since .that time, according to Ms own statements, he has been en gaped in an attempt to bring out a new ticket. Certainly the following language Used by him at the Bourse meeting, can mean nothing short of this: " 'In view of the grave consequences impending, hurried conferences have been held lately with Dr. Swallow and others In accord with him, taking a broad and disinterested view of the present situation, stating the possibil ity of unification of all the forces op posed to the Quay machine, whether of the Harrlsburg, Altoona or other forms, and making a thoroughly representa tive ticket, eliminating all present and past candidates, or wing them as might seem most practicable to form a winning ticket.' A FAULT FINDER AND PARTT WRECKER "This attitude of Mr. Wanamaker Is not so strange in view of the fact that upon the occasion of the visit of Presi dent McKinley and his cabinet officers to Philadelphia, at the time of the un veiling of the Washington monument, he. through the public prints, criticised the present administration in its con duct of the affairs of the country, which criticism called forth replies from several of the cabinet officers at the time and a mild rebuke from the president himself. The altitude of Mr. Wanamaker during the past several months clearly indicates that he no longer payj allegiance to any party, but has concluded to place himself in the category of a political fault finder and a party wrecker. "It Is one of the undeniable privileges of individuals to choose the party with which they ally themselves, and to whose purposes they lend their support. If Mr. Wanamaker has determined upon an endeavor to disrupt and de feat the partr which bestowed upon him one of the highest offices In its gift (although by a decisive majority fairly ascertained after a free and open can vass of the sentiment of the state It re fused blm another office which h sought), that is his indisputable priv ilege. Nevertheless, I think he will be disappointed In tho result of his se ceseinn. IT WILL SURVIVE, 'The r.ands shift and change about the bases of the pyramids, but those rniehty structures themselves, founded ppe n the rock and standing four square to every w ind that blows, abide stead fast and everlasting. The Republican party wUl survive, full of useful life and undiminished vigor, for many a year after Mr. Wanamaker and I and all of us are numbered among the men ho are forgotten. With its heroic his tory and Its promising future it stands for great principles and policies much more important than the ambitions and disappointments of any Individuals in It, however eminent. This Is the lesson of history. No one did more dis tinguished sen-ice in the building of It than Horace Greeley, yet when that great man was deluded Into casting his lot with ita enemies, the Republican party lived on and Horace Greeley died of a broken heart. No Pennsylvanian was more highly and deservedly hon ored in his party than our great war governor. Andrew G. Curtin. but when he raised his voice In opposition to it, his public career closed, and the party continued to add victory to victory and strength to strength. The Republican party survived eight years of Cleveland and eight years of Pattlson. I have no doubt It will survive even Mr. ana maker's secession with unbroken heart and vigor unimpaired. A WORD ABOUT TAXES. "One of the complaints made by Mr, Wanamaker is that the taxpayers of the state are overburdened by reason of the expenses of'the state adminis tration and the cost of supporting our penal, eleemosynary and charitable In stitutions. The charge Is in keeping with others made by him it is lack ing in every essential element of truth. The fact is that the great mass of tax payers of the state do not contribute a farthing in the shape of state taxation. The state revenues are raised mainly by the taxation of corporations, collat eral and direct Inheritances. license fees, fees of office and bonuses on charters. Real estate has not paid state taxes since 1KS6. Jn passing Judgment on this question it might not be amiss to recall the fact that Mr. Wanamaker pays less tax In proportion to the amount of money Invested and -he vol ume of business transacted than any other citizen within the confines of this broad commonwealth. Our taxpayers may not know, but It Is currently re ported and generally believed, that he transacts a business each year ct front U2,000.&u0 to $15,000,000. that he has In vested In goods, wares and merchan dise In which he traffics from $3,000,000 to $3,000,000. On the gTeat volume of business transacted by him and on the large Investment he ha In merchan dise In which be trafficks from $3,000,000 state government the mere pittance of $1,000 annually. On these goods, wares and merchandise he pas no municipal, locaf or state tax. except the $1,000 abeve mentioned. It is true he pays local taxes upon his real estate, but that is entirely outside of the invest ment in his business proper. If Mr. Wanamaker had the $3,000,000 which he is now supposed to have Invested in his stores invested in farms and other real estate he would pay annually from $T5,00t to $1:5.000 in local taxes more than be does at present. THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT IT. "Ur.der the financial system which has t-en Inaugurated and built up dur ing tt.e past 20 years, and for which the Kepuolkan party Is responsible, U of the V. counties of the state receive more money from the state than U paid in b them. It has been the policy of the Republican party to provide a system of state taxation that places the bur-di-ns of the state upon the corporations and other wealthy and. favored Insti tutions. In this way a fund is raised that is distributed to the cbunties in the shape cf appropriations to the com mon schools and In payment of the siiliries of Judges, county superintend ents and for other likt purposes. In this way the burdens of U-al taxation are equalized and lessened. It Ib an interesting lesson to take up the re ports of the state officials, which show how much money is received by the state from each county and how much larger sum is returned by the state to the county. For Instance take the following counties: Pays to Treasv.ry. Receives. $70,915 83 115,273 31 14.477 87 103,935 3$ 171.259 83 75.310 OS 31.38 53 216.114 38 Bedford Butler Cameron Bradford Chester Jefferson Juniata Lackawana .. ... $9.&S8 67 ... 20.SS0 25 ... 2.133 &6 ... 22.7X9 62 ... 73.752 27 ... 11.067 23 ... 5.216 97 ... 54.4S9 71 "It will be demonstrated to the peo ple of Pennsylvania and of the United States during the present campaign that our state during the last quarter of a century has been the most hap pily governed state in the Union; that her advance In wealth, population and general prosperity has been phenome nal. During that time the state has never lost a dollar by reason of de fault or dishonesty of any of her state officials. Such, Indeed, seems to have been the opinion of Mr. Wanamaker himself until very recently, for it is only within the last year that he has in timated anything to the contrary. Of course, we have been subject to the criticism which is inseparable from the conduct of public affairs whose control is disputed by enemies of the party and persons having disappointed ambi tions. "When an army breaks camp to march to battle vultures gather over the camp fires, and there Is always some belated dog to bark after every triumphal procession. "The strictures made by Mr. Wana maker on the last election of a United States senator. It seems to me, come with bad grace from a defeated candi date, and explain the soured feeling emanating from that source ever since. I was not personally familiar with the details of that campaign, but from re liable information in my possession I am Furprised that Mr. Wanamaker should make use of the fallowing lan guac: The whole business of electing a I'nited States senator was an arith metical problem and a check book. Mr. Vanamakers managers undoubt edly impressed him, more in their own than in his interest, with that theory, and he. no doubt, speaks from his per sonal knowledge and experience, ROASTING THE PIGS. "I am surprised that any person wjtb the intelligence of Mr. Wanamaker Should be guilty of repeating, by lnuen. do at least, that the burning of the state capitol was the result of a con spiracy of state officials, and for the purpose of destroying public records which might Incriminate them. If Mr. Wanamaker and those who report these silly charges would take the time to Investigate they would learn that the capitol buiding burned down con tained no records of value.. The rec ords of the auditor general's and the utate treasurer's departments were kept In a separate building, having another building between it and the building where these records are kept. There was not a single record of the treasury or auditor general's department in the building burned down. This senseless fabrication reminds me of the interest ing story told by Charles Lamb of the Chinaman who discovered roast pig: 'The hut of a Chinaman having burned down, and seme young pigs that were there among Its tenants having been roasted, the Chinaman proceeded to devour them with intense satisfaction. He was so well pleased with the viands that he turned Incendiary and burned down several establishments belonging to his neighlors. In order to roast th? pli:s therein confined. He continued his hazardous course until It got through his Mongolian head one day that the pigs might be roasted without the burning of the dwellings.' It will occur to any one who reflects a moment that if there were any papers In Har rlfburg for which destruction was nec essary for any purpose. It Is not likely that they would be carefully preserved and filed away In the public buildings and if they had been so preserved and filed it would not be necessary to burn the building in order to burn the papers. The pigs could be roasted and the papers could be destroyed without the risk and hazard of burn ing down valuable buildings. ABOUT BROKEN BANKS. "The attempt of Mr. Wanamaker to connect the Republican party with the failure of the People's bank, the Guar antors' and the State Insurance com pany Is, to say the least, far fetched. The Republican party is no more re sponsible for the failure of these Insti tutions than it was for the failure of the Keystone bank, of unsavcry mem ory, and I presume Mr. Wanamaker will not undertake to say that the Re publican party wrecked that ba-jk. The fact Is that the state has not lost a single penny by reason of the fail ure of any of these institutions. "Mr. Wanamaker also attacks the re cent Republican state convention. With the facts attending thit convention the Republican party is already familiar. In many counties the candidates for gubernatorial honors submitted their candidacy to a vote of the people. The delegates were elected under rarty rules. At the convention Ir. Wana maker. finding that he did not have a sufficient number of delegates to nom inate himself, withdrew from the con test and transferred his delegates In a body to another candidate, who num bered among his delegates many of the most prominent organization men In the state. The union of these forces was not successful, and the convention nominated another candidate. All the contests brought before that conven tion were decided in favor of Mr. Wan amaker and those with whom he com bined his forces. In not a single In stance was a decision made In favor of the prevailing candidate. On the floor of the convention the fullest lat itude was given to Mr. Wanamaker and his friends, and no decision was made against the'r interests. The con vention was conducted in a spirit of generous fairness, and no reasonable person can find fault with anything that was done in its proceedings. THAT CHESTER COUNT T TALE. "While it Is not within the purview of this Interview to discuss the charges made by Mr. Wanamaker in reference to the deposit of rtate funds with the Chester County Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit company, yet I feel that it Is proper for me to recall the facta in reference to the legislation upon the subject Prior to 1897 the state treas urer, under the law. was personally re sponsible for all state moneys which came into his hands. He was required to give a bond for the safe keeping of these funds. Under this syrtem the treasurer and bis bondsmen, being re sponsible for all state moneys, claimed and exercised the right to select the de positories In which state funds were located. Mr. Darlington, as it appear ed from his testimony, was a bondsman of the state treasurer and had a de posit la his institution. Being thus fa vored, he seems to have felt himself called upon to make contributions In auppo-t of the party that extended tAese favor, 'mere are necessary ex penses to be borne, and It I only fair that those who are favored by the party should help bear Its burdens, and It would seem from his testimony that Mr. Darlington thought it was proper that he should contribute, and that he should have In return therefor a continuance of his deposit. Whatever may be thought of the transaction it was certain!:' not one of which Mr. Wanamaker can complain, for It re sembles closely his action In the cam paign of 'sS. w hen, it being understood that, having collected, or being about to collect, some four or five thousand dollars from manufacturers and others participating in the benefits of tariff legislation, he exacted a promise from the national committee that he should be appointed postmaster general. "Whatever may be thought, however, about the political morality of Mr. Dar lington and Mr. Wanamaker In the transactions above mentioned. It Is a thing of the past so far as the treas ury Is concerned. The legislature of li97 passed a law which provides for in terest on deposits of state moneys In banking institutions of the state. The law imposes upon the state treasurer and the members of the revenue com mission the duty of selecting the bank In 1; institutions of the state in which the moneys shall be deposited, and pro vides for the taking of sufficient se curities therefor. This law was drawn by the chairman of the Republican or ganization, and received its earnest and active support, it passed the sen ate and house with practically a unani mous cte. and I trust will correct the abuses cf the former system. IT IS ANTI-REPUBLICAN. "It might as well be understood now that this is a contest to defeat Republi can supremacy In Pennsylvania. The organization is prepared to defend the party from all these reckless and ma licious attacks. It Is our purpose to labor for the success of the whole Re publican ticket, county as well ss state. It is our desire to uphold the adminis tration of President McKinley, and we feel the necessity of returning the greatest possible number of Republican congressmen from this state. It la also Important that a Republican United States senator should be returned from Pennsylvania. With a new govern mental policy growing out of the Issues of the war we should see to it that Pennsylvania Is represented by straight out Republicans In both houses of con gress. "In conclusion. I desire to say that X shall not enter into any competitiou with Mr. Wanamaker lndefaming the state of which I am prou l to be a citi zen, and besmirching the good name cf Its people In the eyes of the country. I prefer rather to exalt and glorify It within all proper bounds of language. God has blessed Its hills and valleys with matchless resources, above and under the ground, far beyond Oolconda and the Klondike, and the genius and Industry of its people have developed It Into an Imperial domain. I prefer to look at it with eyes unjaundlced by any disappointed ambition, and to think of it as it is, the borne of education and integrity, morality and religion, rather than to proclaim it as a breeding ground of iniquity, whose people choose habitual criminals as their representa tives to enact their laws and adminis ter their public affairs." GEORGE H. WELSHONS. XUSTEKIKQ OUT THE TB00FS. It will Take Tims and Bigid Examination. The work of mustering out the troops, which is expected to begin this week, w ill require some time. This is one r ason why the soldiers will go back to their own States for their discharge. Another reison given for sending the troops back to their respective States is to comply with the agreement of enlistment, that all soldiers when mustered out w'll be provided with transportation to their pla -es of enlistment. The general orders relating to the mus tering out provide that to those officers and men w ho bave served beyond the limits of the United States leaves of ab sence and furloughs for sixty days will be granted respectively, while to thofce who bave not served outside of tbeuoun try the leaves of absence and furloughs will be limited to thirty days. Except for the necessary guard details, e c, of otficersand men, leaves of absence for sixty days, and furloughs for the same period w ill be granted all otneers and en listed men of organizations which bave served beyond the limits of the United State, and thiity days to officers and men of organizations which bave not served beyond the limits of the United States, when such organizations are ordered to be mustered out of service. Such leaves of absence and furloughs will be granted by the commanding offi cers after the organizations bave arrived at the State rendezvous, all to take effect on one dale for thirty days, or sixty dys, as the case may be, and all officers and m-m must without fail report at the ren dezvous on the thirtieth or sixtieth day thereafter. Any officer or man failing to so report w ill be considered and reported as a deserter, unless preveuted from d ingsoby sickness, which must be satis factorily explained by tbe certificate of a reputable physician. Tbe furloughs are to all iw time to pre pare the records and necessary discharge papers; as when mustered in, a company at a time will be called. The final exam ination will be more rigid than the first, Every effort possible will be made t i pie vent illegal ponsions. The result of (he physical examinations will be compared and allowance made for ungaiued health. chronic diseases, etc. A soldier whose health has become worse because of army service will get a certificate to that effect. An inventory will be taken of all the property in the possession of tbe sob'.iers. and the Government will deduct from the pay for deficiencies and excesses. The volunteer soldiers who desire to preserve their arms and other accoutre ments as relics of the war will be allowed to buy them at cost prices, the amount to be taken out of their pay. A Springfield, breech loading rill or carbine, 4o caliber, may be retained by the volunteer at a cost cf $10. A Colt re volver, caliber 38, w ill cost bim tbo satue amount. There is no difference in the cost of a Colt of 4.1 caliber. A deduction of f.1 iJd from his pay enti tles the volunteer to. bis saber, acid other articles are valued as follows: Blanket bags, with straps, complete, $1.13; bay onet M-abbard for rille, 30 cents; cartridge belt, single row of loops, 75 cents; car tridge belt, double row of loops. Si ; can teen, with straps, 4.J rents; gun sling, 24 cenLs; haversack aud strap, ?J cents; waist belt and plate, 30 cents. Even tbe most trifling things included in the soldier's outfit may also be pur chased in the same way. These include the meat cau, the price for which ia fixed at 14 cenis; tin cup, 8 cents; knife, 4 cents; fork, 3 cents ; spoon, 1 cent. The only other items left are revol.er holster and cartridge box, which are valued at 30 cents eac! . -V"JT J MOIc, ;?!' Get an Education Tfca brt aotfit la Ufa.
