"You have earned the plaudits, not alone of the people of Penu-ylvaiiia, but of the whole nation. Your return has beeu the signal fur a great demon stratiou of iopular regard from your landing in the Golden Gate on the Pacific to your home coming, aud here you hnd a warmth of welcome aud a greetiug from joyous hearts which tell better than words the estimate of your countrymen and their high apprecia tion of the services you have rendered the country. You made secure aud permanent the victory of Dewey. You aided new glory to American arms. You and your brave comrades engaged on other fields of conflict have enlarged the map of the Lnited States aud ex tended the jurisdiction of Americau liberty. "But while we share in the joy that is yours, there remain with us softened and hallowed memories of thoe who went forth with you, not found in your rnks to-day. Your noble Colouel, de voted to hix men, lieloved by his com mand, aud respected by his superior of ficers, gave his life to his country, with many others of his comrades. The Na tion sorrows with the bereaved. Those heroes died for their eountr-, aud there is no nobler death. "Our troops represented the courage aud conscience, the purpose aud patriot ism, of their country. Whether in Cuba, Porto Rico, or the Philippines, -j or at home awaiting orders, they did their full duty, aud all sought the post of greatest peril. They never fal tered. The Eighth Army Corns in the Philippines have made a proud and exceptional record. Privileged to be mustered out in April, wheu the rati fications of the Treaty of Peace were exchanged, they did not claim the privilege they declined it, they vol untarily remained in the service and declared their purpose to stay until their places could be filled bv new levies, and longer if the Government needed them. Their service and they understood it was not to be in camp or garrison, free frcm danger, tut on the battle line, where exposure and leath confronted them aud where both have exacted their victims. "They did not stack arms. They did not run away. They were not serving the Insurgents in the Philippines or their sympathizers at home They had no part or patience with the men, few in number, happily, who would have rejoiced to have seen them lay down their arms in the presence of an enemy whom they have just emanci pated from Spanish rule and who should have been our firmest friends They furnished au example of devo tion and sacrifice which will brighten the glorious record of American valor. They have seeured not alone the grati tude of the Government and the peo ple, but for themselves aud their de scendants in imperishable distinction. They may not fully appreciate, and the country may not, the heroism of their conduct and its important support to the GovernmenL I think I do, aud so I am here to express it. "The mighty army of Volunteers and Regulars, numlering over two hundred and fifty thousand, which last year responded to the call of the Govern ment with an alacrity without prece dent or parallel, by the terms of their enlistment, were to be mustered out, with all of the Regulars above twenty- seveu thousand, when peace with Spain was effected. Peace brought us the Philippines by treaty cession from Spain. The Smate of the LTnited States ratified the treaty. Every step taken was in obedience to the requirements of the Constitution. It became our ter ritory and is ours as much as the Louisiana purchase, or Texas, or Alaska. A body of Insurgents, in no sense representing the sentiment of the people of tlie islands, dispjted our lawful authority, and eveu before the ratification of the treaty by the Amer- can Senate were attacking the very forces who fought for and secured their freedom. "This was the situation in April, 'M, thedatt jof the exchange of rati fications, with only twenty-seven thou sand Regulars subject to the unques tioned direction of the Executive, and thty, for the most part, on duty in Cuba and Porto Rico or invalided at home after their severe campaign in the tropics. Even had they been availa ble, it would have required months to transport them to the Fuuipplues. Practically a new army had to be created. These loyal Voluuteers in the Philippines said: . 'We will stay until the Government can organize an army at home and transjort it to the seat of hostilities.' They did stay, cheerfully, uncomplainingly, patriotically. They suffered aud sacrificed; they fought aud fell; tbey drove l ack and punished the Rebels who resisted Federal authority, and, who, with force, attacked the sov ereignty of the United States in its newly-acquired territory. ithout tbem tLen and there, we would have been practically helpless on land; our flag would have bad its first stain, and the American name its first ignominy. The brilliant victories of the Army and Navy in the Ray and City of Manila would have been won in vain; our ob ligations to civilization would have re mained temporarily unperformed; chaos would have reigned, and what ever government there was would have been by the will of one man, and not by the consent of the governed. "Who refused to sound the retreat? Who stood in the breach when others weakened? Who resisted the sugges tion of the unpatriotic that they should coma borne ? Let me call the roll of the regiments and battalions that de serve to be perpetuated in the Nation's SOMERSET, PA., annals. Their action was not asud den impulse under excitement, but a deliberate determination to sustain, at the cost of life if need be, the honor of their Government and the authority of Its flag: First California, California Artillery, First Colorado, First Idaho, Fifty-first Iowa, Twentieth Kansas, Thirteenth Minnesota, First Montana, First Nebraska, First North Dakota, Nevada Cavalry, Hecond Oregon, Tenth Pennsylvania, First South Dakota, First Tennessee, I' tali Artillery, First Washington, First Wyoming, Wyom ing Battery. To them must be added about four thousand enlisted men of the Regular Army, who were entitled to their discharge under the Peace Proclamation of April 1S09, the greater portion of whom participated in the engagements of the Eighth Cors aud are still performing arduous ser vices in the field. "Nor must the Navy be forgotten. Sixty-five devoted sailors participated in the engagement of May 1st In Ma nila Bay whose terms of service had previously expired, continuing on duty quite a year after that action. "For these men of the Army and Navy we have only honor aud grati tude. "The world will never kuow the re straint of our soldiers theirself control under the most exasperating condi tions. For weeks subjected to the iu- sults and duplicity of the Insurgeut leaders, they preserved the status quo, remembering that they were under an order from their Government to sacred ly observe the terms of the protocol in letter aud spirit aud avoid all conflict. except in defense, ending the negotia tions of the Treaty of Peace. They were not the aggressors. They did not begin hostilities against the Insurgents pending the ratification of the Treaty of Peace in the Senate, great as was their justification, because their orders from. Washington forbade it I take all the responsibility for that direction. Otis only executed the order of his Gov ernment, and the soldiers, under great provocation to strike back, obeyed. Until the Treaty was ratified we had no authority beyond Manila City, bay aud harbor. We then had no other title to defend, no authority beyond that to maintain. Spain was still iu possession of the remainder of the Archipelago. Spain had sued for peac. The truce aud Tnaty were not concluded. The first blow was struck by the Insurgents. Our kindness was reciprocated with cruelty, our mercy with a Mauser. The flag of truce was invoked ouly to be dishonored. Our soldiers were shot down when ministering to the wound ed Philippines. Our humanity was in terpreted as weakness, our forbearance as cowardice. They assailed our sov ereignty, and there will be no useless parley no pause until the insurrec tion is suppressed and American au thority is acknowledged aud establish ed. The misguided followers in rebell ion have ouly our charity aud pity. As to the cruel leaders who have needlessly sacrificed the lives of thousands of their people, at the cost of some of our best blood, for the gratification of their own ambitious designs, I will leave to oth ers the ungracious task of justification and eulogy. "Every one of the noble men of the Regulars or Volunteers, soldiers or sea men, who thus sigually served tbeir country iu its extremity deserves .he 8ecial recognition of Congress, and it will be to me an unfeigned pleasure to recommend for each of them a sptc.al medal of honor. "While we give you hail aud greeting from overflowing hearts, we do not for get the brave men who remain and those who have gone forward to take your places, and those other brave men who have so promptly volunteered, crowding each other to go to the front, to carry forward to successful comple tion the work you so nobly began. Our prayers go with them, and more men and munitions, if required, for the speedy suppression of the rebellion, the establishment of peace and tran quillity, aud a government under the undisputed sovereignty of the United States a government which will do justice to all, and at once encourage the b"st efforts and aspirations of these dis tant people and the highest develop ment of their rich and fertile lands. "The Government to which you gave your loyalty welcomes you to your homes. With no blot or stain upon your record, the story of your unselfish services to country and to civilization will be to the men who take your places at the front and on the firing line and to future generations an example of patriotism and an inspiration to duty."

WORDS OF A WARRIOR. Lieut. Col. James . Barnett Ac cepts Gifts on Behalf of the Officers of ths Tenth Regiment. From the Pltbiburg Times, Auk. 10. Lieut, Col. Barnett, on behalf of the officers of the regiment accepted the swords for the officers and the loving cup for Chaplain Hunter. His appear ance was the signal for prolonged ap plause. Lieut, Col. Barnett spoke as follows: "Citizens of Western Pennsylvania On behalf of the oftUvrs of the Tenth regimeut, I thank you for the honor conferred upon us, and for the beauti ful gifts thit you have this day be stowed. They will be cherished as souveuirs of this occasion, and iu years to come will be pointed to with ever increasing pride. We accept them, uot as evidences of our own merit, but as a kindly expression of interest in tin who had the honor to represent this Commonwealth in far-offlands. They will recall to us in days to come the trials and triumphs passed through, and will inspire us with courage as we resume the duties of our common citi zenship. We do not come home to pose as heroes, for we believe that the sober, industrious, law-abiding citizen is the brightest jewel iu the diadem of the State aud of the Nation. (Ap plause.) All of us, alas, are not here to receive this distinguishing mark of your consideration. The best one of us all, the one whose presence would adorn this occasion the most, is missing. Of all the sad occasions of our memorable journey, the one that causd the most profound and heartfelt grief was the death of Colonel Hawkins. He was universally respected and loved, be cause he was fair, honorable aud brave. No more superb or gallant soldier ever unsheathed a sword. A striking in stance of bis loyalty to duty and of his fearlessness of death, is shown by the remark made by him to the surgeon, who, in the latter part of April last, told him of the maliguant nature of his disease, and advised him to go home. He received the terrible mes sage in silence for a few moments, and then said, "The fathers aud mothers of my boys seut their sons out with me, aud they expect me to stay with them and to come borne with them and I will stay" and he did stay. He died on the sun-kissed Pacific, far from the tender ministrations of bis own household, but surrounded by the boys who oc cupied the next place to them in his heart. TKMiEK TKIBITKTO HAWKINS. "The annals of hi.ry do not reeite a more patriotic life or more sublime death than that of Col. Alexander L. Hawkins. Our other comrades sleep be neath the evergreen verdure of the mystic East, unheedful of honors, un mindful of the strugg'e above tbem. No more for tbem the shock of battle or the delights of home. But we be lieve that, in the providence of God, their lives have not been lost in vain, and that iu the laud where they gave up their lives, a new temple of liberty shall arise, the home of a peaceful aud prosperous people, owing its happiness to the American Nation. Again I thank you for the honor conferred upon us. "After the attack upon Manila, there came Hashing across land and sea, from Occident to Orient, a message of con gratulations from the President of the United StaUs upon our glorious victory; and it was a glorious victory. Besieged iu Manila by a well armed and confi dent army, threateued on every hand by thousands of armed and secret foes, we were subjected to humiliation. abuse and scorn by the Filipinos, who were inspired in their plans for our de struction by rumors of assistance from our own native land. It was a glorious victory, uot only for the Americau Na tion, but for every civilized nation hav ing representatives in Luzon. Had we beeu defeated, few of us would have survived; all foreigners would have been butchered, and the city of Ma nila would have been a fiery hell on earth. We tender our thanks this day for the message then received, for it brought right home to us the wel come assurance that the government of the United States, with all the resources at its command, stood ready and willing to aid and assist us. SUPPORT OK THE PRESIDENT URUED. "We did not discuss questions of statesmanship during our campaign, but, under the leadership of our colonel, simply followed the flag. We believe that a duty was laid upoi this govern ment by One to whose purposes no Quite b.-ing holds the key, aud that although iu the fulfillment of this duty blocd has been shed, and, in its further per formance, still more may be shed, yet the history of our own nation demon strates that God sometimes sweeps the path of progress with a bloody broom. We believe that this is no time for the discussion of policy, but that it is the duty of every citizen loyal to his na tion, and who desire to see the nations of the earth respect tl e flag that we adore, to support and uphold the bands of the chief executive of this govern ment in his efforts to establish, as speedily as possible a triumphant peace. We believe that no soldier will willing ly consent that the flag should ever be withdrawn from a land consecrated with American blood. "In dreams this hour has come to us; but fancy, in her wildest flights never pictured such a scene. We were Bur prised by the welcome which spanned the continent and grasped our hands before we had set foot upon our native soil; which accompanied us across the continent and has culminated in the unparalleled reception of to-day. We have been appalled by the wealth of demonstration the President of the United States ; officers of military re nown; the Governor of our Common wealth; Governors and representatives of sister States; the wonderful con course of friends and neighbors who have greeted us to-day and we have felt as if we ought quietly to go back and endeavor to do something more worthy of it. Whatever we have done has been due to the people of our State and Union, and to our desire to keep pace with our comrades. If any one IU thinka those Western fellows can't fight, let him go and try to keep up with them. PorUHT KOK PENNSYLVANIA'S HONOR. "We kuow that there were thousands upon thousands of valiautjmen in Penn sylvania who would meet an emergen cy equally as well as, or better than we; we knew that our old comrades with whom we had stood shoulder to shoulder, looked to us to uphold tbeir honor, as well as the gallant boys did iu Cuba and Porto Rico; aud we felt that in spirit they marched and fought with us; we felt that those whom we bad adored from youth, who had up held Pennsylvania's honor on many a battlefield ill defence of the Uuioo, looked to us with solicitude lest Penn sylvania might falter; aud the highest honor that we have received upon re turning to our native land, has been tlie grasp of an old soldier of the 'Go's, who saluted us as comrades. "Behind us, like radiant angels of light, were the historic traditions of our State and I'uion. And, if we have done aught to deserve your commend ation or to justify iu the slightest de gree the distinguishing favors shown to us this day, to these, and these alone, it must le ascrilied. Such were the ideals of Co! Hawkins, who was the most patriotic man I ever knew iu his love of State and Union. Although be is uot with us to-day, yet if bis spirit beholds this occasion, he desires that no grief for him shall mar the joy of the present moment, aud, although this home-coming has not been for him aud his, yet he rejoices that at last his boys, after many wanderings by laud aud sea, have safely arrived at home. KINDNESS OK THE W'K-T At'KNoWL El x; El i. "If we have deserved your praise, it is but due to say that we are proud of Pennsylvania. Crossing the coulinent, we went into San Francisco, receiving the most magnificent reception ever given to a regiment entering that city. As we marched along the crowded streets, we saw men and women with tears running down their cheeks, cry ing, "God bless old Pennsylvania!" The name itself was a passport to honor and hospitality ; aud every w here among our Western comrades we found the deepest affection for the old Key stone State. We, and you through us, owe a deep det of gratitude to the West for kiuduesses bestowed upon us. As we journeyed homeward, I'tah, Colorado and Nebraska invited us to stop within their borders, aud it was a bitter disappoiutnieut not to be able to accept the hospitality of Omaha, that magnificent city of the West, whose keys we carry with us. "I cannot close without a tribute to that wonderful State which has made the Union its debtor old California, with thy vine-clad hills sloping west ward 'o tie a; with thy valleys of gold en grain, aud thy hills of golden sand, with thy San Francisco, romance of cities, enthroned behind the Ooldeu Gate of Progress. While life shall last, we will remember thy generous aud unbounded hospitality, thy tender ministrations to our sick and wouuded, thy delicate and active sympathy aud assistance in our bereavement."

During a visit to the army camp in Savannah General Joseph Wheeler was entertained by a party of Northern men at the De Soto. When, in the good humor of after dinner cigars, one of the men said, laughingly: "How is it, General, that the sleepy farms of the South produce such whirl wind fighters in such small packages?" "Well, gentlemen," said the little General, puffing at a large mau's cigar, "I believe I'll have to give you the an s A'er an old 'cracker woman once gave me when I asked her a similar ques tion. Not many years ago I bad occa sion to make a saddle journey through the pine barrens of Georgia, where most everybody is a 'cracker,' and mighty shiftless. One day, however, I rode into a little community that showed such signs of thrift as to be quite out of keeping with the general character of the barrens, I do assure you, gentlemen. I rode up to the cabin where a gauut old woman stood in the doorway and arked her who owned these little farms that were so well kept. "'That farm on the left belongs to my son Jabez,', said she, 'and the next one to my boy Zalim, aud the next to my lad Jason, and the next is my boy Potiphar's place, and ' " 'Hold on, sister,' said I, 'how did you manage to raise such a flue lot of boys way off here in the woods?" " 'Wal, stranger,' she answered, 'I'm a widdy woman, and all I had to raise 'em on was prayer and hickory, but I raised 'em powerful frequenL" Phil adelphia Post, The Appetite of a Goat Is envied by all poor dyg.ptics whoaa Stomach and Liver are out of order.

There was no one to answer the bell, so Mrs. Cassidy went herself. "Why, Cela Bethune! I am so glad to see you !" she cried, in greeting her visitor. "Yes, I wanted to see you," the girl returned, fervently, as they kissed each other. "I was out for a spin, aud came this way. How do you like my new suit?" "I like it. It looks jjst lovely on you." 'Isn't the skirt too short?" "Not a bit. You want it short." "But not too short," insisted the girl. I -as so afraid it would be too short. Some look -rfectly slux-king." "I know. But yours isn't a bit too short. Come in this way, where we can talk." "Oh, but I mustn't slay. "I thought you wanted to see me?" Cela's exercise had heightened the color in her pretty face, but a blush in creased it still more as Mrs. Cassidy re called those first words. Cela covered her confusion with more talk in regard to her new gow n aud the trials she had undergone iu having it cut ami fitted. Even as she spoke Mrs. Cassidy seemed forced to take the girl's measure iu certain other lights. How old are you, Cela?" she asked, abruptly. "Why, Laura Cassidy! What a ques tion! Do you think I'm going to tell ? Nineteen. Why?" "You will be getting married liefore long." "Oh, my goodue! I'm never going to marry. But I've had a projiosa!," blushing furiously. "And you've said 'Yes?' I'm so glad. How lovely of you to come aud tell me all about it" Mrs. Cassidy was about to fold the girl iu her anus again, but Cela waved her off. "Ob, dear, no! And what's more, I am not going to say 'Yes.' Oh, I don't kuow what I'm going to say. How do you decile about such things? You had to, once, not long ago. Tell me. That's what I came for." A note of tremulous despair hovered about her voice. "It's easy. You must know whether you love Norman Ford or noL" "Norman Ford! How did you guess him?" "Why, who else could it be?" "He isn't the only young man. resent- Cela retorted, with a touch of meut. Mrs. Cassidy gave tone to a rich laugh. She was in love with the mo ment. Cela was mindful only of tho main question. "You see, I would have to leave pap aud go and live with N Mr. Ford, I've only known Lim a few months a. year or two at most and I've known papa all my life." Mrs. Cassidy's laugh was very pro voking. Cela was vexed. "Oh, you know what I mean. What makes you behave so? I thought you would help me." "And so I will. You must stay witU meaweek. S-nd for your things. You must think it over. A matter of thist kind can't be decided ut once." "That's just what I told Norman!" said the girl, flushing joyously. "It's so kind of you to help me. I knew you would. I want to talk it all over with you. You see, I dou't want to make any mistake." And talk it over they did, every day, almost every hour, for a week. "It will be better for you not to see Mr. Ford until you c n give him a defi nite answer," her friend had said, and Celia acquiesced in the w isdom of this. "Of course, I can't choose for you. I can only help yrni to know your own mind." "How did you rrr choose?" Cela asked, envious of fcr friend's ability. "It was easy. I just knew." "That's it. Vcm always know every thing, and I D iwkoow anything." Later, when Mrs. Cassidy questioned her, Cela said, "In the morning I'm all for papa. Toe i it ms just as clear as can be wliat I shall do. But toward evening, about the time Nor Mr. Ford usually coire," the red poured into Cela's checks, "why, I'm all at sea agaiu." "But you don't really have to choose between them. You just " "Oh, yes, I do!" interrupted Cela, very positively. "It can never 1 the same. It will all be different. I should have to give up papa, and I shall most certainly say 'No.' This was in the morning. In the afternoon Mrs. Cassidy and Cela went for a spin through the parks on tbeir wheels. "Oh, Mr. Ford and I have had such lovely rides on his tandem!" Cela said, rapturously. "I wish. I had written him a note telling where I am staying. I really don't think there would be any harm in his coming, and he might help me to a decision. It really seems as if U would be heartless to say 'No,' for he says be thinks everything of me. You just ought to hear him! And, as you say, I haven't really got to give papa up. He might come and live with us. Anyway, I dild see him every day almost as much as I do now, for he is away all day at the office. But it did seem so terrible at first!" Iu the morcinir the terror of it all re- turned, made worse by a feeling that a decision must be reached that' day, for it was the last of her stay with her friend. When Mrs. Cassidy joiued Cela her face was beaming with a plan which she had thought out "I've a way, Cela, for you to know your owti mind." "Ob, what is it r "Listen! Tom says that every even ing Mr. Ford and your father walk down Columbia avenue together on tbeir way from town. At Madison street they separate; your father goes west to take the Third street cars. Now this is my plan: This afternoon, on your way borne, you rmle your wheel slowly down the aven 0e just back of the two men. But doa't let tbem see yon. All the way you must just think that you most make up your mind be tween them, and at the corner where tbey part that you will follow the one ULO WHOLE NO. 2510. whom you decide upon. Ride your wheel iust as slowlv as you can, but you mast not stop or fall off." "Yes," said Cela. "And if, at the very last, yni can't decide, leave it all to the wheel." "Leave it to the wheel?" Cela did not understand. "Yes. Haven't you evei noticed your wheel act independent of yourself? TbiU is, turn this way or that without your consciously making it?" "It did that w hen I was learning to rid-." "ilut i-ince?" "Yes sometimes." "Well, that's the way planehelta works," said the other, mysteriously. 'It's really one's subconsciousness that does it, I siiptiose. You know, subcon sciousness is like clairvoyance aud sec ond Mlit and hypnotism and all those things w liii li kuow all about the past ami future." Cela shud lered. "I am afraid of such things." "But not of subconsciousness. To 1 afraid of that would lie like being afraid of one's own soul." "Well, what then ?" eagerly. "Why, if it is best that you should accept Mr. Ford, your wheel will keep straight ahead down Columbia avenue after him. But if you really ought to refuse him it will turu witlxsit your really making it, down the street that your father takes." "Really ?" "Yes." "I have read that the wheel taught one decision," Cela said. "But I never knew just how." "Well, that's how," said Mrs. Cassi- dy, slowly. The sun had disappeared tit-hind the tail brick blocks to the west, when tela darted among the carriages, the while keeping a sharp lookout upon the walk for two men. "Oh, there be is! Norruau has a new suit of gray. What would he think of me if he knew I was watching him? He said he would be in torture till I gave him my answer. He doesn't act like iu What can he and papa be talk ing about so confidentially? Papa! the dear old soul! Rut I must be thinking. I must choose between them." Cela's face paled a little. "Papa wouldn't come and live with u-. lie ju.-t cotiidn t- Whenever we have talked of boarding, he has said he could not lar to give up his home. It's a wonder Norman doesn't look this way. He has said again and again that he knew when I was in the same room with him that he could feel my eyes." Tbey crossed Jefferson street. "It's at the next corner, now!" she gasped, "and I haveu't decided yet. I am all that papa has in the world. Can I leave him alone? Would it be right Laura seemed to think it would. Nor man says he can never love any one else that he'd rathtr die than live without me. Oh, here's the corner. And they are separating. Papa is look ing this way. Whatshall I do? I just can't decide. Laura said leave it to the wheet. What will the wheel do?" There was a breathless moment. Ce la's wheet was going very slowly, but straight she1. Upon its movements hung her faW. Would it decide for Norman ? Her heart had almost ceas ed to beat. One more turn of the ped als would carry her by. Slower, slower. Suddenly her wheel turned siiarly to the right. "Oh, it's for papa!" site said, wkii a) breath that came like a knife ia her' side. "Poor Norman!' j la another mouienl tVta had over taken Iter father. "You are not look'tag wett,44 said Mr. Bethuoe. "I've been doing ome pretty hard riding,'' Cela re4ied, avoiding his eyes. Tor there were tears in her own. "Why, there Is Nor Mr. Ford!" she exclaim ed, as the jxuDg ian came up the side street Fr was surprised to find Cela with Iter father, but delighted withal. Her reception was such as one might give tlie glHist of a dear friend. "Here are some pijiers I meant to grwe you, but forgot them." 0tk, yes," replied Bethune, taking the iMstikage. "You'll be up this even ing?" ie inquired, with a look toward bis daughter, which seemed to add "now that Cela is home." "Yes," Ceia answered quickly for him, and Jrl felt he was to know his fate that tugbt, and feared what it would be. Ce&i was pale; her manner was unmistakti-Ie. After tea .Mr. Bethune sat in his li brary iu the dunk. Cela had taken a stool and drawn it xiear him. "Daughter, I'm goiug to take Mr. Ford into partnership in my business."

Philttii'lihia Inquirer. Tn Republican Insurgent in the re cent deadlock Iu the United States Sen atorial contest can not but take the ac tion of the Republican State Conven tion at Harriburg a.-, a complete repu diation of their factional opposition to the Republican caucus nomiuee for United States Senator by the represent atives of their Republicau constituents who passed upon this important isue at primary elections held since the ad journment of the Legislature. An an alysis has been made of the vote by counties In the State Convention on the adoption of the State platform, which on the subject of the United States Sen- atorship said: 'The Republican party owes a debt of gratitude to her senior I'nited States Senator, Matthew Stanley Quay, who for more than a quarter of a century has stood in the forefront of the battle for Republican supremacy. Our State is entitled to full representation in tbe United States Seuate, and we iudorse the action of the Governor in making his apixtintmeut to the vacancy caused ly the failure of the legislature to elect." The significance of the vote on this declaration is that the delegates from the home districts of twenty-eight mem bers of tbe legislature w ho claim to be Itepublicans aud who voted against Colonel Quay, the Republicau caucus nominee for Uuited States Senator, voted to indorse the action of the Gov ernor in making the Senatorial appoint ment Of these twenty-eight all were nominated and elected as IJcpublieaus except four. The latter, while claiming to be Republicans, ran against the can didates of the Republican party ami were elected ou fusion tickets, by the aid of Democratic aud Prohibition votes. Here is a list of these twenty-eight members of the General Assembly, the fusion is ts being indicated by the aster isk ( ) after their respective names: CAI l'S HOI.THKS RKl'l Dl ATKl K Philadelphia Districts 3d, William Reed; !Hh, Edw. Wadsworth; ltith, W. F. Stewart, Elias Abrains; L'lst, John F. Keator; liid, Robt. A. Liutou; 2titb, McCIellau Hersh; 17th, Palmer Lau bach, A. 1 Allen. Bradford, Robert S. Edmonson, L. W. Manley.

Luzerne, Frank L. Snyder. Mercer, John M. Martin. Montgomery, Jason Sexton, II. H. Fetterolf. Montour, James Foster. Somerset, William H. Koontz, Sam uel A. Kendall. There were ninety-six of the Repub lican members of the General Assem bly who, despite the sinister influences brought to bear upon them, remained to the last voting for the Republican caucus nominee for Senator. If th men in the above list recognized thst sentiment of their constituents, as did the delegates to the State Convention, there would be no question about the election of a Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, In tiie entire convention of 13 rep resentative Republicans there was not a single so-called insurgent member of the Legislature elected as a delegate to the Convention outside the limits of the Flinn machine control of Allegheny cunty. In Philadelphia one of them slipped in, Leslie Yates, a proxy. He diil not face his constituents at the pri maries. While the Legislature was in session there was a great deal of talk about the insurgents representing the people, but it is noted that tbey did not have the temerity to go before the peo ple for vindication aud have them selves elected as delegates to the Con vention. I n lucks and other counties, where tbey said they would do this, they finally changed their minds and concluded that tbey would let some one else r.wu. In a Hundred Tears. Last week a committee of one of the benevolent societies in which the We-tt abounds .deposited under secure guard ianship on Pike's Peak a brazen box containing pa(ers and documents to be kept intact and ouly to be opened at the end of 100 years. When that box comes to be opened iu August, 19t, the committee in charge of tlie ceremonies will stand among surroundings and conditions widely different from those of to-day. Looking back upon the cireumsUi. ces of this country in 17!W, we ean clear ly discern that no possible human fore sight or sagacity could then have fore told that the country would lie what it is now. it is equally beyond human foresight or sagacity to foretell what it will be after the lapse of auotherceu- urv. Merely in the matter of population. we can ouly estimate roughly that wa nay then number SoO.OUO.OOO or 300,- ooo.ooo. We may be even more. But can any prescience gauge and measure the political forces and issues represent ed by the conflicting opinions of 50, 000,000 or 60,000,000 voters? What power will sway and guide them? Who can fbre'ell our social condi tions a century hence? A hundred years ago no man iu this country was worth $1,000,01)0. To-day fortunes of f :3,OUO,000 and eveu f 100,000,000 are fre quent, and rapidly increasing. Will the increase give us fortunes of $500,- "00,000 and $1,000,000,000, and will the power of combination among their own ers also .increase ? Lastly, how far will we otfry the extension of the functions of government and the increase of the swarms of mercenaries of the pullic service, who are increasing in numbers faster than the people, nd increasing in power more rapidly tb jIt num bers? Aud what is 100 years iu tbe life of i. nation or of a race? At the end of it, where shall we be but still at the begin ning of another hundred years? Ad4 ob. the long, ton years tbU world will but! That of our coming and departure bred. As the seven seas should herd a pebble cast. When we think of the circumstances in which the box on Pike's Peak may be opened in 100 years from now, is it a consoling or a melancholy reflection that none of us will be there to see it?
