Independent Citizens of Allegheny County
Take Flinn at His Wora and Start to
Reform the Local Political Machine.
(Special Correspondence.)
Ilarrlsburg, Aug. 1. William Flinn,
who has been termed the Aguinaldo
of the Republican insurgent movement
ugalnst the leaders of the regular Re
publican organization in Pennsylvania,
will be back from Europe within a few
days. Since Flinn, through his big
municipal contracts, like Martin in
Philadelphia, became numbered among
the millionaires, he has aspired to so
cial prominence, and recognizing that
the polite thing to do" was to take
a run to Paris in the early summer,
he set sail In the latter part of June,

REVOLT AGAINST FL1NNISM.
A revolt has been organized against
his dictatorial and domineering leader
ship of the Republican organization in
Allegheny county, and the public
abuses that have grown up there since
he has been in control of the local
machine. The people of Allegheny
have actually taken seriously Flinn's
declarations for reform in his insur
gent campaign throughout the state
that is, everywhere but In his home
county. They have been looking into
matters In Allegheny and find that
Flinn's preachings away from homo
are not in harmony with the prac
tices that prevail right where he lives.
The hypocrisy of the Flinn-Martin
crusade against Colonel Quay, the con
tempt ible Rnd iniquitous methods re
sorted to in the desperate fights of the
last two yetrs against regular Repub
lican nominees throughout the state,
the sham and buncombe of the cam
jalgn waged under the name of "re
form" ng:iinst the regular Republican
caucus nominee for the United States
senator at Ilarrlsburg, and the selfish
and unpatriotic manipulation of the
Democratic and insurgent votes In the
legislature to cripple the Republican
state administration, to deprive the
commonwenlth of proper revenue
through the defeat of the several
measures advocated by Governor
Stone for raising funds to meet the
demands of the common schools, the
charities and hospitals and other de
serving public institutions, have arous
ed feelings of disgust and contempt for
men of the Flinn-Martin stripe, whoare
held responsible for the curtailment of
school funds and the reductions in
appropriations for other purposes
necessitated by their course in the leg
islature. By the election of delegates to the
Republican state convention who will
repudiate the whole band of Insurgent
conspirators, the Republicans of the
state have by a most emphatic vote ex
pressed themselves on the Issues rals
ed by the Flinns and Martins.
FLINN'S TROUBLES BEGIN.
But in Allegheny county Flinn will
find his most serious trouble. A body
of citizens styling themselves "Inde
pendent Republicans" hive Just launch
ed a complete ticket for county of
ficers to be voted for at the coming
election, and which will be pitted
against the nominees that Flinn and
his followers will sc'' '. The Inde
pendents have selected prominent men
for the several positions from sheriff
down to commissioner, and they de
clare they are In for a fight to a finish.
The Philadelphia Press, which has
been the principal organ of the Flinn
Martin Insurgents in the campaign
ngalnst the le-tiers of the regular Re
pulilicnn orr -r.izatlon In the state out
side of Allegheny, In a dispatch from
Pittsburg cn Sunday last innocently
said:
"A revolt of independent Republi
cans of Allegheny county, which has
been talked cf for some time, erystal
ized tonight, when the committee of
twenty-five announced an independent
county ticket, which will be placed in
nomination for the fall election. In
some respects the movement is unique,
as it has no affiliation with the old
Quayite 'reform' organization In Alle
gheny cnurty. The nomination of the
Independent ticket Is directed generally
pgaiiiHt machine rule as exemplified in
the county organisation. The ticket
was selected by a committee of twenty
five, and wi!i be placed before a town
meeting later in the campaign.
"The ticke'. I.t composed of lifelong
Republicans, who will rtand on a plat
form denouncing the evils of the ma
chine without rc;,iid to faction. The
platform denounces the extravagant In
crease In public salaries, the multipli
cation of offices, the dictation of slates
by one man, permitting no contest at
the primaries; the control and manip
ulation of the county school Bystem by
politicians; the building of county
roads at double and treble the amount
for which they could be constructed
nlso comes in for severe censure. The
enormous bond issues In the city of
Pittsburg and the system of rotation
in offlc? in vogue in this county are
also ti e subject of protest. The ratifi
cation meeting is to be held next Sep
tember." When FI;nn gets back he will prob
ibly demand the head of the editor
who allowed the above statement of
fact to creop into print in one of his
personal organs.
The Insurgent boss will also realize
the truth of the old saying that
"Chickens will come home to roost."
While the Insurgents are having
their troubka the victories of the stal
v. art Republicans continue to follow
each other with unceasing regularity.
In two counties Republican primary

TO PREVENT DEADLOCKS.
Pennsylvanians are naturally Inter
ested In the announcement That sen
ator Stewart, of Nevada. In order, to
obvlnte the apparent necessity of an
amendment to the constitution to In
sure at all times a full representation
of states In the United States senate.
at the next session of congress will
offer relief by legislation which, the
senator says, may prove satisfactory.
He proposes that the following para
graph be added to the end 01 section
15. title 2, chapter 1. oi me uevisru
Statues:
If on the third Tuesday after me
organization of the legislature no per
son hna received such majority, men
on that day, or any succeeding day, the
person receiving a plurality or me
votes cast, a majority of all me mem
bers elected to both houses being pres
ent and voting, shall be declared elected."
This he believes, will meet me ne
cessities of the case and insure the elec
tion of a United States senator in
every state at the time specified bylaw.
In commenting upon mis proposi
tion former Republican state cnair-
man Thomas v. uooper says.
"The law regulating the election or
United States senators, passed by con
gress In 1S66, should be modified as to
enable a plurality to elect, the same as
members of the lower nouse ana an
other officers are chosen. This should
be done, and done so quickly after
the meeting of congress in December
that it will practically settle the four
contested cases of Pennsylvania, Cali
fornia. Utah and Delaware. If done.
it will kill at least four factions in as
many states, and it will cheojt the
growth of factions and of third par
ties. Now, under the :aw requiring a
majority of all voting to elect, a third
party or faction can deadlock any leg
islature, to the great cost of me peopio
and the great Injury of the general
government. Who cannot reaany con
ceive the death of one of the great co
ordinate branches of our government
by deadlocking the legislatures of one-
fourth to one-third of our states, mus
making from 15 to 20 vacancies in the
senate a greater number of vacancies
than there is party majority. What is
the result of this a deadlock in the
senate, with ability In the minority
to wreck the government by a refusal
to vote.
"The present law is not republican
In form, for It defeats the majority. It
is dangerous in character, for it divides
states and cripples their legislation. It
is doubly dangerous, for it carries di
vision-and disruption to our highest
legislative body, and thus threatens
our general government. Judge Hoar
was right when he denounced it Is In
iquitous, and now that Its results are
seen In vacant Beats and states without
representation, the very first act of
the next congress should be to re
peal it."

Pennsylvania h Probably the Most
Benefited Through Her
Industries.
BBYANISM HAS AN UPHILL TIGHT
Wage Have Been Increased and the Out
look For Even Eetter Times With Mc-
Kinley's Re-election Is Bright.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 1. Additional ev
idence comes daily of the Increased
prosperity that has followed the re-
turn of the Republican party to the
control of the national government and
the prospects for the future In all lines
of Industry and for the farmers, with
new and profitable markets for his
products, are most gratifying. Here In
Pennsylvania, probably more than In
any other state in the Union, have the
beneficial effects of the success of the
Republican party In the last national
campaign been apparent. With Mc
Klnley's re-election certain, continued
good times are assured.
There Is scarcely an industry that
has not been developed to a wonderful
extent. Labor is employed at big ad
vances In wages in many instances,
and the outlook for a general advance
all along the line is most encouraging.
WHERE PENNSYLVANIA FIGURES.
The Keystone state has figured to a
profitable degree in the increase in ex
ports of manufactures during the last
fiscal year. The chief of the bureau of
Btatictic3 at Washington, by his report
just issued, shows that the total ex
ports for thlB class of products for the
year were valued at $338,667,794. The
total Is nearly $48,000,000, or 16 per
cent, In excess of that of the preceding
year, and is over double the value of
the exports of manufactures In 1891.
"In order to appreciate the Increased
share which manufactures are taking
In the total volume of our exports,-'
says Bradstreets', "It will be of ser
vice to recall the fact that while in 1881
they formed only 12.48 per cent of the
total, In the year 1896 they had risen
to 24.02 per cent, and in the fiscal year
1899 the proportion was increased to
28.15 per cent."
LOCOMOTIVES FOR ENGLAND.
The ability of manufacturers of the
United States to compete with success
in the markets of the world rests no
longer upon conjecture. The fact that
the Baldwin locomotive works of this
city are just completing an order of lo
comotives for Englinh railways, gotten
In competitive bidding with Great
Britain's greatest plants, is but one
of the signs of the times.
Everywhere throughout the state tho

ter of keeping the small mills going
the furnaces have nobly co-operated,
and the managers say that they be
lieve that they can keep them going,
provided the pressure for pig Iron from
other sources does not become too
hard. These small mills have no
"pig" on hand, and they are getting It
wherever they can and consuming It
at once.
The large concerns are In a much
better conditio. For instance, the
Readinu Iron company employs
hands in its various milV. which turn
out the finished prodiu. The com
pany operates furnaces by lease and
ownership, and these turn out consid
erable of the iron they consume. The
same Is true of half a dozen large cor
porations in eastern Pennsylvania. The
furnaces which are working on orders
have demands for twenty times their
product every day. and they are doing
their best to distribute it to the best
advantage among the small mills. II
their regular orders will allow. Tho
acceptance by aijy of the furnaces of
this district for an order of 1,000 to
5,000 tons is simply out of the ques
tion. They will book It if desired, and
promise to deliver any time eight to ten
months from now. Better they cannot
do. Pig Iron In and about Reading has
risen beyond the $20 mark now. but
an offer of $50 a ton would not bring
any more prompt delivery, as the mar
ket Is congested with orders for many
months ahead. When tho Iron busi
ness begins to hum about Sept. 1 the
gravity of the situation will increase.
and it is then that the small mills will
be placed In an embarrassing position.
THINGS ON THE BOOM.
One of the latest contributions to the
reports of prosperous conditions in dif
ferent parts of the country Is furnished
in an Interview with Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury Vandertlp, who,
as the result of an extended trip to the
Pacific coast, reports that with few ex
ceptions general business in all sec
tions is in very good shape. The only
serious complaint he met with was
that made by bankers about large bal
ances and low rates of Interest. The
crop situation, while not up to that of
last yer.r, is an excellent one, ne says.
The condition in the northwest is par
ticularly good. Results from the Klon
dike trade are particularly favorable
at Seattle, and the general estimate is
for gold receipts of $18,000,000 from
this source. Mr. Vanderlip reports tne
entire Pacific coast is interested In the
possibilities of trade with the far east;
ships are loading with lumber at Puget
sound ports for Manila, and some lum
bermen have been examining Into the
question of developing the resources
of ihe forests of the Philippines them
selves. The waning of the silver senti
ment in the west particularly struck
Mr. Vanderlip, who reports a great In
terest beine taken In tho question of
possible trust legislation.
PROFESSIONAL REFORMERS BUSY
The little coterie of professional re
formers in this city who figure exten
sively in the newspapers, but make
a small showing at the polls on elec
tlon day, are keeping up a racket over
Governbr Stone's veto of the resolu
tlons adopted by the last legislature to
secure amendments to the constitution
to provide for personal registration of
voters and to make way for the use
of the costly voting machines. The
objectors to the governor's action were
eiven a he-ring at Harrlsburg a tew
davs cso. Secretary of the Common
wealth Grie3t had refused for what he
regarded as good reasons to Ignore the
action of the governor and oblige the
crofe33ional reformers and insert ex
pensive advertisements in many news
papers throughout the state. Former
Attorney General Hensel, of the Pat-
tison administration, appeared as coun
sel for the secretary of the common
wealth and completely shattered the
claims of the "reformers."
Mr. Hensel took strong grounds on
the question of the right of the gover
nor to pas3 on these amendments un
der the provisions of section 26, arti
cle 111, of the constitution, which re
auire every order, resolution or veto
requiring the concurrence or cotn
houses to be presented to the governor
for his approval or disapproval. He
also rriscd another very interesting
question, and that is that the legisla
ture had failed to make any appioprla
tlon for the payment of the expenses
Incurred by the secretary of the com
monwealth in making the publication
He cited thne provisions of the con
stitution which forbid that any money
shall be priid out oi the state treasury
without previous authority of law and
without a specific appropriation hav
ing been made therefor. No approprl
ation was made to pay these expenses
and there ! no fund, general or special
from which the secretary of tho com-
raonweilth c-n draw the funds with
wlilch to rrv the expenses of the pro
posed liuMi'n'i'-n. The legal questions
were rcne Into very fully, and ine at'
torney general reserved his decision,
promising to give an answer In a very
few days.
Mr. Hensel made several center shots
and argued ab'y against the suggestion
that the legislature would take care
of the exnnses hereafter. It was
Bhown th!t the secretary of the com
monwealth would have to expend at
least flftv or sixty thousand dollars

A Statement That Created Much Talk
nnd Effected a Satisfactory Sale.
Horace tireeley'a lllont View) on
Xewimper Advert luementa.
In the courso of S.'iO yenvs advertising
has developed Into an art, but it doubtless
has many now and surprising features
held in reserve for tho future.
Some intelligent people profess a singu
lar ignorance of tho nature of an adver
tisement, mid they aro nil tho tlrao urging
newspapers to publish, free of charge,
reading matter which plainly serves tho
private interests of thoso who nana It in
or request Its preparation.
This sort of thing used to inako old
Horace Groelcy mad and it drew from
him tho following pertinent advice:
"When you want an nrticlo Inserted to
subsorvo somo purpose ot her than tho pub
lic good, you should offer to pay for it. It
is not just that you should solicit tho uso
of columns not your own to promote your
own or your friends' private interests
without offering to pay for them. Tho
fact that, you arc a subscriber gives you
no right in this respect; it the paper is not
worth its price, don't tko It. If you wish
to use tho columns of any journal to pro
mote your own or soino other person's
private Interests, offer to pay for It; thoro
is no other honest way.
When Hwnlu published tho Philadelphia
Publlo Ledger, he held Greeley's views
about advertising.
On one occasion a gentleman asked him
to Insert without charge an advertisement
for a jKior widow.
"Can t do it," said Swain; "business is
business, and charity is charity.""
Won't you reduce your price?" asked
tho gentleman.
" No, sir. You will have to pay mo reg
ular charge, fi-"
With great reluctance iho other handed
over tho money and was about to leave
when Swain took a $10 bill from his vest
pocket."
"l'leaso givo this to tno wwow,
said, "and 1 hopo it will help her."
For many years ingenious advertisers
have filled tho pacrswith business notices
which open with tho announcement of
somo important event and conclude with
a few lines about a patent medicine or a
sewing machine.
This stylo of advertising is very old.
Moro than 60 years ago Henry J. Ray
mond was engaged to write every day a
fancy advertisement of somo rogetablo
pills, and his contract made it necessary
for him to connect tho puis with somo
leading event of tho day in order to at
tract tho attention of his renders. Ray
mond did this work with tho samo ability
and energy which, ho afterwanl displayed
as tho editor of a great paper.
Tho story of how Bonner sold his coun
try residence mavboof intorest. Ho want
ed to dlsposo of tho place, and, having no
confidonco In ordinary real estnto adver
tisements, ho published the following in
several daily papers:
"I hereby offer for wile my country rest

lived for tho past three summers, but do
not think I could live much longer.
have heard that peopio desiring to pur
chase a country homo could nevt'r find ono
whero they had chills and fever; it is al
ways a milo or two off. but never right
there, at tho place that Is for snlo. Now,
I offer for salo a curiosity, something rare,
the precise, exact spot whero you will find
chills and fevor. I will warrant It to bo
thero. Throe of my children hnvo It; my
gardener has It; my groom has tho pro
monitory symptoms, and I havo n touch
of It myself. Any doctor with a largo fam
ily who has a sure cure for fever and nguo
would find this a most eliglblo situation.
Tho neighborhood is full of tho diseaso,
and If ho could keep it out of his own fam
ily it would givo him a reputation that
would Insure his fort una Besides tho
fover arid nguo, tho estate consists of n
fine doublo house, with all tho modern
conveniences, and two acres of land, with
a gowl barn and stablo. It is really a
beautiful placo. Tho grounds aro hand
somely laid out, with choico trees and
shrubbery. These trees nfford not only a
delightful shelter, but a harbor for mos
quitoes. Tho mosquitoes thus far havo
not been so much affected by fover and
ague as to prevent their biting In fact, It
Is a good place for mosquitoes. 1 bought
It to pleaso my wlfo nnd shall leavo It to
pleaso tho wholo family. Terms, cash. I
am afraid any security would get the fever
and nguo and becomo shaky. 1 ho town
authorities are improving the adjoining
streets, and if they drain the placo as thor
oughly as they do tho pockets of tho land
owners It may become healthy."
This remarknblo advertisement was
talked about and copied, and thousands of
people inado inquiries about Melrose sta
tion and tho Bonner place. Tho fact came
out that it suffered no more from fover
and aguo and mosquitqes than other local
ities In that region, and the result was
that It was sold for a very satisfactory
price.
Tho Now York Herald once got somo
profitnblo advertising in a queer way.
It seems that The Herald refused to
print tho advertisements of tho Maretezk
opera and Barnum's musouin. Tho theat
rical managers of tho city hold a meeting
and withdrew their patronago from tho
paper. But they inado tho mistake of an
nouncing In the other dallies and on their
posters the fact that they did not advertise
in Tho Herald. This attracted attention
to that paper, and Its Independent course
mado it so popular that, before many
months, tho theatrical managers wore
glad to return to it. -
Of courso a good newspaper is always
tho best advertising medium.
Signs painted on rocks and fonccs, fancy
wagons and balloons, and circulars ana
pamphlets can never do tho work of a pop
ular journnL
Henry Ward Bocchcr once said:
"In the United States every worthy clt
lzcn reads a newspaper nnd owns it. A
newspaper is a window through which
men look out on all that Is going on in
the world. Without a newspaper, a man
is shut up in a small room ai)d knows lit
tle or nothing of what Is happening out-
sldo of himself. A good nowspapcr will
keep a man In sympathy with tho world's
current history. It Is an ever unfolding

issuing and never finished." Wallace P.

"Not a groat deal of a man's body need
remain after au accident," said a maker
of artificial limbs, "for mo to build up a
perfect man so far as outward appear

would not be small, for those things cost

If you had plenty of money and were to

you would require a set of instruments
which you would sorow Into tho arm after

If you aro a card player, you would want
a card holder, too, and perhaps n billiard

you wont driving. You might want a
hammer, saw, oluthosbrusli and many
other things, all of which are prepared for

Lulgl Lablaoho, tho singer, was a giant
in size. "Ono of his boots, says a biog
rapher, "would innko a good portmanteau.
Ono of his gloves would clothe an infant."
'Thero is a humorous exaggeration In tho
statement, but tho fact remains that ho
was certainly mi enormous man.
It Is recorded of him that ho was very
generous and also a lover of jokes At
ono time he was staying In Paris at tho
same hotel with Tom Thumb. An Kng-
llsh tourist, who had been making strenu
ous efforts to moot tho latter, ono day
burst Into tho groat basso's apartment.
Seeing tho giant before him, ho hesitated
and apologized.
"I wus looking." ho said, "for Tom
Thumb."
"I am be," answored Lablaoho in his
deepest tones.
Tho Knulishninn was taken almck He
must havo lx-cn a trusting soul.
"But," said he, "you woro very tiny
when I saw you yesterday.
"Yes," said Lablaohe; "that is how I
have to appear, but when I get homo to
my own rooms I let myself out and enjoy
myself."
Then ho proceeded to entertain his
guest, who did not, after all, regret Tom
Thumb.

"I wonder, child," said Nelson's grand
mother, with whom he lived, "that hun
ger and fear did not drive you homo.
Fear!1" replied tho youngster. 1 never
saw fear. What is It?"
Nelson was still at school when ho was
summoned to Join his ship. The parting
with his cider brother, William, his play
mato and bedfellow, was tho first of thoso
privations which every sailor must suiter.
But, If tho goodby at school was palnlul,
how much more so must havo lieen tho
farewell with his grandmother? As she
beheld him, dressed in the smart midship
mini's uniform, did she realize that the
lad before her would, contrary to all ex
pectations, tako to his profession with en
joyment nnd, within uhout a year, t-nako
otf a fit of depression by saying, "I will bo
a hero and brave every danger.'
Did she koo In the upright figure the fu
ture viscount whoso doughty deeds, un
paralleled in history, were to rail forth
blessings from men and women or every
class as ho set out on his last, fatal voyage
atm'mst tho Kronen! Did she feel that ono
dav a nation would weep for the loss of
ono of Its noblest sons, whose dying word
should be, "Thank (iod, I have dona my
duty!" Cassell's Little 1-olks.
Didn't Get the nnie Might.
Ho was the now pastor and found It
somewhat difficult to get acquainted with
his flock.
On his way home after his first sermon
he overtook a comely young woman whom
he recognized as ono of his congregation
She erected him with a smile, and ho
felt emboldened to talk to her seriously,
"I wus glad," ho said, "to see you in
church. It always gratifies jno greatly
to observe a young person voluntarily
seeking tho ono truo haven"
"Excuso ine," interrupted tho girl, with
a slight blush. "You haven't got th
name oulto right. It's Havens Jim
Havens. Ho passes ono of tho plates."
Then tho pastor changed tho subject.

About one month ago my child wliich

gave it such remedies as are usually giv

lief, we pent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about ten days
and was having about twenty-live opera
tious of the bowels every twelve hours
and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live-

It wn Helen's first day in school, and

Pretty soon up went Helen's little hand.
"Well. Helen, what do you want?" And
Miss Poineroy was surprised when Helen
