Reports received from the several counties indicate that great receptions are being arranged ior tne soiaier orator. and that the meetings will be unusually enthusiastic. COOPER SPEAKS OUT. Comment by the Former Mat Chair man I'pon a Recent Polit ical Move. Former Republican State Chairman Thomas V. Cooper, in the last Issue of The Delaware County American, tin ker the caption "A Travesty Upon the Right of Petition." says: "The folly of the iuaurpent leaders jwseJ its climax when It subjected Senator Quay to trial on charges shown to be wholly manufactured for politi cal efTect. His acquittal brought wis dom to wiser men. who previously be lieved or doubted, because belief and doubt are easy against a public man. This class would now like to say the Incident is closed, for that petition best relieves a conscience strained in th direction of the harshest thought. Still others, and a larger class, stand by the verdict of an American jury represent ing all shades of personal opinion. "And now the leaders who instituted tlieoe proceedings have descended to the liue of protest, after being driven from the fighting lice in nearly every primary of the s'ate. The state con vention was lour-Efths for Quay, and nearly every man of the one-fifth mi nority represented the machines of Philadelphia and Pittsburg machines whih repiesent local spoils and con tracts machines which have fleeced great municipalities without protent trom any insurgent organ. The Quay machine is an ideal of strength, but no machine is an ideal of purity. Our pol itics have not so far advanced in good directions to reach that stage but It Is better than municipal machines. It does not charge for appointments, it dis not Mt commissions on contract. It does not seek or sell the control ol ciiy franchises the only places where they are valuable. These facts are known of all men acquainted w ith poli tics. They are well known to the great newspapers of Philadelphia and Pitts burg, who make it their daily task to assail Quay and his organization. And yet. from that quarter there is never the shade of a protest. A reform party or wintr of a party ought to point to reforms; its oreans should not shield municipal venalities. "We read protests against the parad ing of the gallant Tenth Pennsylvania, fiesh from the Philippines, headed by Coionel Barnett, the Republican nomi nee for sUte treasurer. His command had a reception at Pittsburg, hinted at as political; at Philadelphia, en rout to the eposition and New York, de rounced as factional; yet, in New York, five millions of people rose to do it honor. Theirs was the larger view. They saw Pennsylvania in its great ness, net a political atom comprising iU littleness. "And that littleness is about to dis play iuelf again In the form of thou sands of hastily signed petitions pro testing agiin.st the seating of Quay. These will 1 signed by faetionists, who care more for a feud than a party, and by Democrats who readily scent gain in Republican factional folly. It is the hope of the leaders of this move ment that It will influence Democratic senators against Quay, and as well in vite the aid of such independent think ers as Ho?r and Mason. Will it do this? We Judge nay. The Democratic senators are in a minority, there being IS Republican majority. Their most recent record is against seating sen ators ppuinu-d by governors. They did It in the Oregon case, where S3 votes opposed admission, but this wan !ecause the legislature did not try to elect. It deadlocked in its organiza tion. The Washington case is more In line w ith that of Quay. Here two sen ators were refused admission by only three majority. The legislature had tried to e'ect. but failed. The Demo crats almost solidly voted against ad mission, because If these senators were then admitted it would have destroyed the Democratic majority in the senate. The Republicans almost solidly voted for admission. The Populists were di vided. Put-h Quay into that battle with the seuate constituted as it now is and he would have 11 majority. Ha will more likely have 40. for his ad mission will not change results, which are Republican anyhow, and Democrat will be permitted to follow their con victions as to whether it U right to deny representation to a state. Nearly every Republican senator and nearly 20 Democrats have pronounced for Quay, and bis admission cannot be stopped by petition popguns." T Blft Xeek.

Republican Part j to Master in Pa trotic Young Americans. FEEPARINO FOR NEXT YEAR. Pennsylvania Will Enroll Thousands to Be In Lice For the Great Presidential Struggle of 1900. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Oct. l'". A feature of the present political canvass in Penn sylvania is the unusual interest taken In the Republican campaign by the young men of the state. Reports from all sections of the commonwelth tell the same story. "The first voters." young men who will go to the polls this fall for the first time, will cast an almost unanimous vote for the nomi nees of the Republican state conven tion. A careful canvass has been made to ascertain the sentiment of what are known as "the first voters" pnd the returns Fhow that the action of the Democratic party In taking up Bry an ps their national leader, in pro claiming for free silver and all the ether wild eyed doctrines of the Chi cago platform and the more recent stand taken by the Bryamte leaders raainst the national administration In the conduct of the war. sympathiz ing with Agulnaldo and the Insurgents, have practically shut tne doors of the Democratic party to the young men of the country, who are actuated by loyal and patriotic motives in de termining how they shall cast their first vote. No better evidence of the enthusiasm that prevails among the young Repub licans of Pennsylvania could be given than was displayed at the meeting of the convention of the State League of Republican Clubs that was held here last week. The Democrats were as serting that this gathering would be a frost" for the Republican state cam paign. It was anything but a "frost." There was a great attendance. The young men showed their Interest in the canvass by eloquent and fervent addresses and the enthusiastic manner In which they received Lieutenant Colonel Barnett, Governor Stone, At torney General Elkin, Mayor Ash tridge of Philadelphia and the others who addressed the convention. STANDING BY M KIN LEY. This Is the platform they adopted: "The Republican League of Penn sylvania, In convention assembled, con gratulate the people on the Republi can victory which placed In the presl dentisl chair that noble patriot, Will iam McKinley. and wbicliVaa resulted, by strict adheience to Republican prlF ciples, in rescuiag the country from a financial crisis, and restoring to it an ra of unparalleled protpenty. "W heartily endorse tas policy of the national administration In Its management of aflairs in Porto Rico and Cuba, and pledge to the president our hearty support in the prosecution cessful termination, cei-swul termination. "We also endorse the platform adopt ed at the recent state convention, held in thii city, and reaffirm cur allegiance to the principles of protection, sound money and the extension of American commerce. "We further pledge ourselves to the support of the entire Republican state ticket, and to the use of all honor ible methods that will insure its suc cess." J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia, who was elected president of the league, was authorized to co-operate with Slate Chairman Reeder to have the league of clubs assist the regular party organization In every possible manner during the canvass. President Moore has since been In consultaion with Chairman Reeder and they have agreed upon a plan of campaign whlca will give the young men of the Repub lican party a prominent place In the present campaign. They are preparing for next year's presidential battle, and they have decided that the club con vention of next year shall be held in Philadelphia, where a splendid recep tion is promised the young Republi cans of the state who may be elected delegates to the league convention. THE YOUNG MANS PARTY. That the Republican party opens the only proper channel for young men to enter public life and take an active part in public affairs sheuld be ap parent to alL "This fall you will have the right to exercise that highest privilege of an American citizen, the elective fran chise," says the Kittanning Tribune. "Your choice should be exercised wide ly and welL You want to be on the right side as well as on the strong side. The Republican party wants young men. It wants bright. Intelligent and active workers. It has a future before It, and you will cave a future before you in the political arena. Other men have begun at the foot of the political ladder and worked themseleves up to fame and fortune. Why not you? look over the political fields of the past and you will see them strewn with the bodies of men who were wiser than party. Because some candidate whom they admired was defeated they listened to the siren and forsook their party, to find out In years when they sought political preferment that their party had not forgotten their past rec ord. Do not make this mistake. Do not forget that the world loves in politics, as in everything else, a firm, steady, constant and unwavering man. Success never comes to the fickle and unsteady. WHAT THE PARTY OFFERS. "The Republican party has much to offer you. It is the party of Lincoln, Grant. Blaine. Garfield and McKinley. It has a history of whkh It is proud, and looks forward to a still more glo rious future. You never need blush for Its past record. No member of It but was loyal to the I'nion. It freed the 6laves. It opposed free trade. It favored an honest dollar. The pros pects for its success never looked brighter. It has fulfilled every prom ise. Labor ha ' never been so busy and the wheeU of trade and commerce are turning as never before. We are going to elect the entire Republican ticket this fall, and next year the ma jority of the Republican candidate for president will exceed the 2,600 majori ty given McKinley. The workingman and the farmer are joining ranks be cause they believe the Republican party is their friend. Had the Democratic party been successful In forcing free, trade upon the country there would not be the busy men that are now seen at the pottery at Ford City, the plate glass works at Ford City and the mill3 at Kittanning. Apollo and Leechburg. The farmer would be getting "Cleve land prices" for his sheep, cattle, hides and other articles Instead of the re munerative prices of today. If the 50 cent dollar had come prosperity would have fled. You do not want to join a party that does not like to think of its past. You want to shun a party whose leader will favor Bryan abroad and deny his principles at home. You do not want to join a party that grows weaker year after year and whose ancient glory is fast departing. "Come, take off your coat and go to work for the whole party. "When your turn comes you can ask the successful men of this year to take off their coats and work for you." Aa Afrlraa rocke Ilaadkr rrklrf.

When Shakespeare put In the mouth of Hamlet the curious conceit about the dust of the great Alexander hav ing become loam pnd then stopping a buujjhole iu a in-cr barrel, he had seem ed to reach the ultimate extravagance of Imagination. Yet, near the I'orta Salaria a still more unexccted ex travagance was revealed after the cx cavntinns carried on there. In these a cippus, or sepulchral column, con taining a cinerary urn of rare oriental alalmstcr was brought to light. The Inscription nu the cippus revealed that the ashes contained within the urn were those of Calpunlus Piso Llciui auus. who. In February. A. D. G!. was proclaimed Caesar by the Emperor Galbra. Four days afterward tlalbra was killed, and Piso also suffered death iu his thirty-first year. Ills were the ashes that the alabaster urn con tained. The precious urn was given to a workman employed on the premises to take care of. Some days after, when the proprietor of the place asked for the urn. he found It empty. "Where." said be, "are the ashes that were here?" The workman, surprised, said that he gathered tb,em together nud. never tlreauiiug that they were any good, but beius white and clean, sent them to his wife to make lye for her washing!

Boston TranacrlDL A How Barnett's Life Was Saved by a Testament. 1 MAUSEE'S COTJESE CHANGED. Aa Incident Showing the Danters That Beset the Bravt Boys of thft Fight ing Tenth Pennsylvania Eegiment. Tasslng reference has been made to the Incident in which Lieutenant Colonel James E. Barnett, of the Fighting' Tenth regiment, possibly owed his life to the fact that a Mauser bullet from a Filipino rifle struck a Testament which he carried In his breast pocket and which diverted It from Its course so as to let him es cape with but a slight abrasion of the skin." says the Philadelphia Inquirer. "In an eniertaining chat about some of the experiences which he and some of his comrades passed through In the campaign In Luzon, Captain II. J- Wat son, of the Tenth regiment, while at the Hotel Walton last evening, alluded to this narrow escape of Colonel Bar nett. As Captain Watson .was within a few feet of Colonel Barnett when he was struck, his remarks were especially interesting. "Captain Watson, who U a resident of Beaver Falls, Pa., was a member of the National Guard for ten years prior to the breaking out of the Spanish American war. He enlisted with his regiment and served with distinction throughout the campaign in Luzon, both against the Spanish and the in turgents. He started out aa captain of Company B. but for part of the time during the illness of Captain J. A. Loar, in the campaign of La Loma, h was in command of Company E. AN EYE WITNESS. " 'I have a vivid recollection of the happenings on the day Colonel Bar rett was hit.' S2id Captain Watson, as he sat taixing to some friends. 'We were engaged in a preliminary move of an advance from liilomas by the Second brigade of the Second division of the Kiehta array corps, which in cluded the troops from Pennsylvania, South Drl;nta and Nebraska. We were formed iu line of battle with our left reatihg t t a point beyond the church Pit fell' I., it. Ill f.'Vy Jv in i. CAPTA1X WATSOX. Of the Klk-btin? TVulh. neir Caloocan. With our column stre'thing out for about 6,000 yards, we were making a swlngiug movement, with the line as the radius of a semi circle. We had been driving the In surgents all day, from 5 o'clock in the niormnp. and had engagements ever) little while. At first we found the country in good condition, but as we progressed it became very rugged, and the tropical growth thickened and re tarded our progress considerably. We at last found ourselves In quite a Jungle. There were a series of pell mell rushes in the forenoon. It was undoubtedly one of the hardest days In our experience us far as this move ment was concerned. At & point a lit tle over a mile before reaching Tuliban river. In Manila proviuce. we again en countered the insurgents. They were Intrenched behind well constructed earthworks, occupying a commanding iosition on a small ridge. They open ed fire upon us before we were aware of their presence. Colonel Barnett was superintending the disposition of the First battalion of the Tenth Pennsyl vania. He was then temporarily in command of Company F. While the firing was on I noticed Colonel Bar nett put his hand to his breast. I asked him if be was bit. He did not answer me at once, but, removing a Testament from his breast pocket, he found that it had been penetrated by a Mauser bullet, which. It waa after ward disclosed, had been diverted from Its course, and striking Colonel Bar nett's silver watch was probably again deflected, so that he had a most for tunate escape. "'I have no doubt that had not the Testament been in his pocket Colonel Barnett would have received a serious if not fatal wound. When be was hit I was within a few feet of him. After making an examination and finding no Ferious results from the shot he again n-placed the Testament and watch and proceeded to direct the further move ments of the troops. This, of course. Is but one of the many narrow escapes experienced by our men while under fire.' AS AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER. " 'What is your opinion of Colonel Barnett's qualifications as an execu tive officer?' was asked of Captain Watson. " 'As to that.' replied the captain, after some deliberation. "I think there can be no question of his entire fit ness for any position requiring execu tive ability. He is a man who has demonstrated his coolness under ad verse conditions, and his, courage is unquestioned. My experience has taught me that before he ever made a move he carefully considered all points of detail, and having once de termined his course, his subsequent ac tions were logical and effective. We bad frequent opportunities to gauae his executive ability while he filled the position of military commander of the district of Cavite. In this district is located the old Spanish naval station and which is now used and operated by our naval force. The city of Ca vite adoins this station. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett was in command of this district during the illness of the late Colonel Hawkins, who was at the time confined to the hospital at Cor regidor. P.esicles the Tenth Pennsyl vania there was assigned to this dis trict under Lieutenant Colonel Bar nett two batter!es cf the . California heavy artillery and the First Wyoming artillery. "'Colonel Barnett displayed conspic uous ability as an executive officer In his management of the affairs of this district, whi h. including the city and adjoining territory, had a population composed almost entirely of natives. He maintained and directed an almost perfect system of sanitary conditions tinder very adverse circumstances. The town was carefully policed, all the streets were thoroughly swept and cleaned every r crning, and the In habitants were compelled to keep their premises in a healthful condition.

Tsrss ind Timely Comment Upon tit Isuum w of tilt Dy From Different Sections tx of ths Commonweslth. "Industrial establishments of all kinds, the treat majority of which were idle at the time of the Inausura tion of Mr. McKinley as president." declares the Nurriatown (Montgomery county) Daily Herald, "are now busily engaged In makins goods which are being shipped to other countries, there by affording profitable employment for labor, which U just what Is desired. It would be a very strange blunder on the part of workingmen to Ignore these facts and vote the Democratic ticket, thus endangering the excellent prospects they now enjoy. -This is a blunder they are not at all l'kely to make. They have no de sire to restore the discredited Democ racy to power. Business is active; capital has cor.f dence In the adminis tration: lil)or Is reapir.R the benefit. In abundant employment at fair wages. The intelligent laboring man will not vote to return to the privation, pov erty and hard times of three or four years preceding the advent of the Re publican party to power. "The country cannot afford to try any doubtful experiments, either now or next year. Workingmen cannot af ford to run the risk of loss of em ployment ty voting the Democratic ticket. The Republican party has well redeemed its promises and it will re ceive a vote of confidence therefor." IN BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES. "It 1 not very remarkable that the Democratic l--adors arc just now shout ing in favor of fusion," says the Doy'stown (Bucks county) Daily Re publican.'"! hey hope to be the gainers thereby. That's the whole matter in a nutshell. The Democrats never want fimion unless they see some benefit to themselves. Iust winter during the session of the legislature the Demo crats stood solidly and stubbornly alone when by co-operation they might have been the means of electing a Uni ted States senator. But they knew that if they gave their support outside their own party the successful candi date must be a Republican. No fusion under those circumstances. The state leaders positively forbid it. Now. how ever, they counsel fusion wherever there Is an opportunity to griin some thing or a possibility of winning with Ihe aid of Ihe malcontents of other par ties. The Democratli" party 'is In busi ness for what tbeie is in it' for them selves." CREASY BOOM A FIZZLE. "The Republican campaign for state and county offices has opened," savs the Mount Carmel (Carbon county) Daily News. "All factions of the party sre united la the battle to be wared this fall. Quayites and anti-Quayites are all lined tin for the whola ti' ket. Creasy, the Democratic candidate for state treasurer, has failed to arouse any enthusiasm by his tirades on Re publicans and Republican principles. The people In his home county know him too well to expect anything out of the ordinary from him. and they refuse to be aroused, and the rest of the state is not Interested outside of his own party. Colonel Earnett has been receiving the usual reception accorded to brilliant young Republicans in this state, and will be elected by more than an off year majority." LESSON FOR REPUBLICANS. "Montgomery Democrats have no show of late years." says the Norrla town (Montgomery county) Daily Her ald, "except when their Republican op ponents are divided, as In 1SS8, when two legislative tickets were presented for Republican support, and a Demo cratic senator and three assembl) men were chosen. I.ast year's experience had its lesson for Republicans, and there Is no repetition of the tactics which benefited the Democracy at that time. The harmony prevailing in Re publican councils this year leaves De mocracy without a shadow of hope on election day. Every Republican should regard It as his duty to assist In mak ing his party's majority as large aa possible." FOR PARTY UNITY. "Good Republicans are tired of fac tional politics. They want to giv- at tention to bigger and broader issues. They want to prepare for the national election, more important than 50 sena tors, for it Involves the administra tion of the government for four years to come. They want their party uni ted, aud they want men to represent them who are in favor of uniting It." says the Bryn Mawr (Montgomery county) Home News. "'We look for ward, not backward, and our hope Is that the near future will bring com plete party unity in Pennsylvania." In this year of Republican pros perity every Republican wants to go to the polls and vote the straight ticket from top- to bottom," remarks the (Jreeasburg (Westmoreland county) Press. LOOKING BACKWARD. "The remarkable development of the state of Pennsylvania in the past 25 years is an everlasting monument in commemoration of the Republican doctrine of American protection," de clares the Jeannette (Westmoreland county) Dispatch. "Its shadow extends to the remotest part of the state. In the gratefulness of its noon tide shadow the American workingman si's today sheltered from the burning and consuming heat of free trade sun. and eats his dinner from the best filled pail he ever enjoyed. Io this shadow. In peace and comfort, and in he irtfelt content, he e.its his Lit and wi; u re newed strength aud courage compit-tts his task for today, and gees to his home assured tuat lue same shadow awaits his return on the morrow, suul the next day, and the next, and so on, so lo- bs the American people reuiaiu tru to the Republican floctrlns of American protection. "Theie Is no county in the state that is benefited more by the suprem acy of this doctrine of protection than has Westmoreland county. It has made our county great among the greatest. In the face of these facts and in the full enjoyment of the shade of this movement our duty la clear. Our Democratic friends would have us be lieve that these principles are not an Issue in this campaign, and that tha Issues now in question are purely local. Do not be deluded In this way. The successful man in business keeps a close watch on the future. To avoid danger he looks ahead. A Republican defeat In this county and state at this coming election may prove a disas trous calamity. Republicans cannot afford to take a backward step in this march of progress. The question of protection and free trade is always an Issue. The Democratic party is now, as always, in favor of free trade." GUFFEY S GAME. "GuCey. the boss of the Pennsylva nia Democracy, is encouraging and aiding the fusion movement in Chester county." says the Mount I'nion News, "and It Is announced by his partisans, probably by his authority, that he will direct his f (Torts next year towards effecting such combinations In all tha counties of the state, with a view of electing a legislature that will de feat a Republican for United Ktt. senator, and choose a Democrat, pos- I sibiy Guffey himself. Under the fab;e ! pretense or 'state issues' and 'reforra' he is hatching his schemes to catch Republicans whose politics are thin and adulterated, and to divide and weaken their party In a campaign In which not only the senatorshin. but congress and presidency will be de- ' pending. The success of Guffey's fu- : sion plans means a worse boss In con- ' trol of Pennsylvania politics than any . that has ever been complained of iu vua nepuoucan party.
