Republican State Committee Mooting
The moms of the Republican State
Committee, at 1231 Walnut street,
Philadelphia, were crowded to the
doors last Wednesday afternoon at
the first meeting of that body that
has been held in years. Every dis
trict was represented, and In nearly
every instance by the regular com
mitteeman. Senator Quay presided, and as he
called the meeting to order was given
an ovation of which he has reason to
feel proud. He said :
Gentlemen, I have called this
meeting because, first, I desire to
make personal acquaintance of the.
luombers; secoud, that an under
standing might be arrived at in rela
tion to tbe duties of the committee
which would prevent the unhappy
occurrences recently witnessed; third,
because I desire information from all
of you as to the exact condition of
affair ii in the different counties of the
State, which you fittingly represent;
fourth, because it is necessary that
steps be taken, and promptly, for the
financial support of the campaign,
and, fifth, because I desire your ap
proval of procedure, which might
probably look like usurpation the
appointment of an Executive Com
mittee. It was my thought that the Slate
Committee might with profit be
modeled as to its powers and duties
upon the National Committee. The
National Committee has the right' to
appoint an Executive Committee. I
think it is composed of nine members,
who shall be members of the Nation
al Committee, or not connected with
it. The importance of such an or
ganization consists of the unwilling
-uess and difficulty of members
promptly assembling. For that rea
son during the national campaign
the Executive Committee alone sits
at headquarters daily, tbe National
Committee being rarely called to
tether except at tbe inauguration of
the campaign.
Chairman tuay said that this was
the best attended meeting of the
State Committee that he bad any
knowledge of in all his experience in
Peusylvania politics.
Senator Saylar offered a resolution
approving the action of Senator
Quay in creating an Executive Com
raittee to assist the State Committee
in its work. It was unanimously
adopted. John Russell Young of
fered a resolution providing for the
appointment of a committee of five
to draft legislation and urge its pas
sage by the next State Legislature
embodying the reform pledges in the
State platform. This was adopted
Resolutions were also passed author
iziug the appointment of a commit-1
tee to formulate rules to govern the
party in the State, providing for the
meeting of the committee again on
the day before the date fixed for the
next State convention ; providing
that tbe chairman of tbe committee
shall designate tbe hall in which tbe
convention is to be held ; providing
that the State convention shall be
hf-ld on Thursday instead of Wednes
day and authorizing the appointment
of a Finance Committee.
.A resolution was also adopted
strongly urging Pittsburg as the place
for holding the next Republican na
tional convention.
The Chair caused some laughter
aod applause when he said that Mr.
Gilkeson had handed bim a check
for $5000, as the funds in his bands
remaining from the last campaign.
Colonel Quay said such an action
was unprecedented in the history of
the party.
Then the roll was called again, and
at the request of Chairman Quay
each one of those present elated the
outlook for the party in his particu
lar locality. All of tbe reports were
of a cheerful aod satisfactory charao
ter, although two thirds of the speak
ers at least were of the opinion that
the majority this November would
not be anything as large as it had
been iu the last two years. On tbe
adjournment of the committee Col
onel Quay was besieged by the mem
herd, and lor over an hour lie. was
kept butty shaking bauds, receiving
congratulations, giving advice and
listening to iu formation.
According to tbe official Statisti
cal Abstract for 1804 the people of
United States practiced a sharp econ
omy during the hard times. Com
paring the year 1804 a itb 1802, the
consumption of cotton per capita fell
from 24.03 pounds to 15.91 ; the con
sumption of wheat from 6.90 bushels
n 1800 to 3.41 in 1894. Tbe per
capita of corn consumption was 32.00
bushels in 1800 and 22 76 in 1804.
The consumption of wool in the same
time fell off more than one-sixth.
When the figures of the present Ad
ministration are made up they will
fill one of the least creditable chap
ters in the history of the country.
the Republicans of tbe county. Our
local ticket is a good one, and in
every way worthy the united support
of the party. -The candidates will
carry their full party vote and more,
yet the Republicans must nut become
lax in their efforts to bring out the
voters in their respective precincts.
Let there be no lagging in the race.
It is probably true, as Commis
sioner Lochreu says, that tbe limit
has been reached in the amount of
yearly appropriations for pensions.
Certainly it will not become any
arger under the present policy of
reducing pensious at Democratic dis
cretion.
All honor to Governor Culberson,
of Texas, who, finding no adequate
law to prevent prize fighting in that
State, couvened the legislature in ex
tra session last week, and in less than
thiee hours after getting organized
both branches passed a bill forever
prohibiting prize fighting within the
borders of the Lone Star State. This
knocks out tbe proposed Corbett
Fitziimmons mill, aod this brace of
"long distance ragchewers" will have
to find other fields in which to exhib
it their brutality. Should they find
plac6 we suggest that the aulhori
ties impose the condition that tbe
winner be compelled to fight a bull
dog next, and when the bull-dog has
won, he be shot, and thus send the
championship down, down, down
where it will be out of sight of prize
fighters till they shuffle off.

has fallen since July 1. In Berks
county the streams are lower than
they hate been in twenty-five years,
and the Schuylkill can bo crossed
dry shod. From Hazelton word
comes thiit Laurel and No. 3 mines
of the Lehigh Valley Company and
the Stockton, of Linderman & Skeer,
have shut down indefinitely. Vil
lages are required to carry water for
domestic use two and three miles.
In Williamsptirt the drouth is
without an equal in severity and dur
ation. The rivers in Mnntoursville
have given out aod a famine threat
ens the place. Heavy losses are re
ported from all sections of North
ampton county. The Deleware, Le
high and Bushkill rivers are lower
than they have been in thirty-five
years. Along the latter all mills
operated by water power have been
shut down.
In Holidaysburg, General Superin
tendent F. L. Sheppard, of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, petitioned the city
council for a water supply for the
car shops, the locomotive works and
the 5,000 employes of the cooi any.
At Altoona, where the water fara-
ne has now assumed the most serious
aspect, the probable closing of these
works during the drought necessita
ted the pbtitiou. The council de
cided to send 11 traioloads, contain
ing 400,000 gallons of water, every
day to Altoona.
H"llidaysburg is now the only
town in Central Pennsylvania where
a super-abundant water supply exists,
and connections have already been
formed with tbe mains of six neigh
boring towns to afford relief during
the famine. Throughout South Jer
sey the diouth is being most severely
felt. From ail points come com
plaint of the crops being damaged,
and, in some instances, a total loss.

Mr. Olmstead, a prominent lawyer
of Harrisburg, has made public an
opinion that tbe right to vote for tbe
whole seven Judges to be elected to
the Superior Court this fall is a con'
stitutional right, and, therefore, cau
not be impaired by a legislative eu
actment.
Tbe act creating the Superior
Court provides that each voter in the
State shall vote fur but six of tbe
seven Superior Judges, and Mr. Olm
stead holds that as the fundamental
law confers tbe right of suffrage upon
all citizens to vole for all officers, ex
cepting the limitation put upon such
voting by tbe constitution itself, and
there being no such limitation as to
Judges of the courts created by the
Legislature, an act of Assembly lim
iting tbe suffrage is in conflict with
the supreme law and therefore void.
The argument is plausible, but it
would be very unsafe to accept it.
As election officers are tworn to exe
cute toe laws ana ao not sit to aeter
mine constitutional questions they
would certainly reject all ballots ou
which a citizen bad voted tor seven
Superior Judges. By the law they
are required to return but six votes
from anv one citizen for tbe Superior
.Tnn nrt it w.,M h thi, m.ni. i aiav oi many years experience

fest duty to reject all ballots on
which seven bad been voted for.
Tbe citizens of Pcnnsylvaia who
desire their ballots to be couoted and
returned would do well not to bother
about refinements of constitutional
construction. Tbe law provides that
they shall vote for only six of the
seven Judges to be elected ; tbe eleo
lion officers are sworn to execute the
law under which the election of
Judges is held, and the election
board that counted aud returned
eeveu votes from any one citizen tor
Judge would be assuming the power
of the Supreme Court.
The election boards will obey tb
law, and it is certainly expedient,
and most likely lawful as well, that
voters should do tbe same. Without
stopping to quibble about coustitu
tional technicalities tbe people of
Pennsylvania should vote for six
Superior Judges, aud thus make sure
that their ballots will be couuted and
returned. Phila. Timet.
