Members of the Republican County
Committee should see to it that all Re
publicans in their respective districts are
registered on or before Sept. 7th. In the
matter of voters who voted on age last
year it is especially ini,oi tnt that they
be registered and assessed or they cannot
voto. Don't neglect this important mat
ter.
Thic money octopus is still rampant.
Western sections are confronted with
another freight-car famine.
Tub Brooklyn Eagle, a sterling Demo
crat, announces that Bryan has been de
throned and that Bryanism is folding up
its tent.
Aoi'inaldo, who, in his recent procla
mation, spoke of the Democratic party in
the United States as his principal ally,
finds no occasion to change his views on
that subject.
Tine aggregate of the world's gold pro
duction, last year falls short only about
$5,000,000 or being an even $300,000,000,
which is more than double the amount
produced in 1892.
Some of the Democratic editors want
to use the tariff as an issue to kill off 16
to 1, but any attempt to do this will be
worse than the disease. The peoplo are
pretty well satisfied with the result of
a Republican tariff.
With Bryanism feeding on Populism
and calamity, it would seem that Kansas
with her 300,000,000 to 400,000,000 bushel
corn crop, worth in cash at least $100,000,
000, cannot be considered even among
the"possible" States for the candidate.
The South is enjoying its share of the
country's increased prosperity. Manu
factures in that section have increased 60
pT cent, faster during the past quarter
of 1899 than during the corresponding
quarter last year. Tho industries al
ready in the South are all doing well,
many enlarging their plants and many
new ones going on, or being projected.
The Bryan argument that the hum of
industry could only come through free
silver coinage is being disproved by
strong facts in the section where Bryan
ism has had its strongest foothold.
Thus far the attempts to make Inger
sol's spirit do fake duty at spiritualistic
seances have decidedly petered out. Mrs.
Cora V. Richmond promptly fixed on a
time to conjure up the spirit of the do
parted agnostic, but the famous spook
failed to show up. Probably "tho line
was in use." The real trouble is in get
ting any of the communicating spirits to
talk like Ingorsol. Spooks with his abil
ity as a talker are evidently scarce and
linrd to engage. Maybe he isn't in proper
sympathy with the mediums. When he
was at Lil yDalo some years ago, he said
he was as much a disbeliever in so-called
spirit phenomena and manifestatlo' s as
he was in the miracles narrated by Moses.
Franklin Spectator.
Senator Pettiore w is quoted as say
ing: "This government should recall
every soldier in the Philippines immedi
ately, apologize to the world for the error
we have made, and turn the islands over
to the native government." He follows
this up by saying "This 'civilizing war'
talk is all sham. Any people can main
tain as good a government as they hare a
right to have, and you cannot give them
a better one." This statement is quite
gallant on the part of the Senator, but if
carried to its full iruition might prove
quite embarrassing to us "squatters."
Evidently the Senator does not stop to
think that under his rule there would be
a serious exodus from this country, with
profuse apologies to tne aborigines of
North America.
The Iowa Republicans in their State
convenention a few days ago spoke in no
uncertain voice on the money question
when constructing their platform. They
emphatically declared that "The mon
etary standard o( tliis'country and of the
commercial world is gold. The perma
nence of this standard must be assured
congressional legislation, giving to it the
validity ol public law. All other money
must be kept at a parity with gold." On
the question ol trusts they were no less
ontspoKen, declaring that "industry and
commorce should be left free to persue
their method according to the natural
laws of the world, but when the business
aggregations known as trusts prove
hurtful to the people they must be re
strained by national laws, and, if need
be, abolished.
Tim Republican State Convention
meets in Ilarrisburg to-morrow. Thurs
day, at 10 o'clock a. in., for the purpose
ot nominating candidates for Supreme
Judge, Superior Judge and Stato Treas
urer. Lieut. Colonel James E. Barnott,
of Washington county, who is now with
his regiment, tho galant Teuth at San
Francisco, and will soon como East with
tho boys, will undoubtedly be the unani
mous choice of tho convention for Treas
urer. Judge Adams of Philadelphia,
having the unanimous endorsement of
tho delegation from his city, will likely
be tho nominee for Superior Judge. The
question of the Supreme Judgeship is
not so easily determined, but J. Hoy
Brown of Lancaster seems at this time to
have the most followers, while Judge
Archibald of Lackawanna and Judge
Morrison of McKean have both many
supporters.

Parly Records as to Trusls.
The Democratic attempt to picture Mc
Kinley and the Republican party as the
promoters of trusts and Bryan and the
Democracy as their destroyers is false to
its root. In the McKinlcy tariff law of
1890 was incorporated a clause which
made trusts a punishable crime. This
bill was created into a law by a vote of
194 to 142 in the House, and 40 to 23 in
the Senete. Every vote in the House but
two for this bill was Republican. Every
vote in the House against this bill was
Democratic Every vote for the bill in
ths Senate was Republican: every vote
against it was Democratic.
Not only were the party records on the
trust question thns established, bnt it was
added to by the next House and Senate,
in which the Democrats bad the complete
control. The clause which William Mc
Kinley had in his famous tariff bill deal
ing so harshly with the trusts was swept
away and a weaker one substituted in
the Wilson bill. William Jenuings Bry
an was a member ot the ways and means
committee of the House, which adopted
the Wilson bill ; he not only worked for
it, but voted for it. Tho records of the
two men can not be questioned, neither
can the wording and purposes of the two
trust clauses in the respective laws. They
are given below :
McKinley Law.

otherwise, or con

not more than one i
year, or both, in the I
discretion of the
court.)
William McKinlcy and the Republican
party stand on the Records. They made
trusts or trade combinations, either In
the United States or between Importers,
a punishable offense, prescrib'ng heavy
fines, imprisonment or both. Bryan,
Wilson and the Democratic party not only
repealed this law, but substituted for it
one that only made them illegal between
importers, and with no penalties at
tached. The hue and the cry will deceive
no one.
(lire the Law a Fair Test.
The action of Judge Taylor, In deter
mining to enforce the law permitting
county authorities to set convicts to work
on the publie roads, affords the people of
Pennsylvania anothor opportunity to
fully test the merits of that law.
The law itself is correct in theory and
adequato in scope. In theory it provides
that the counties shall receive some sub
stantial benefit from the "gentlemen"
whom they convict of this offense or that,
instead of supporting them in a mild
sort of genteel idleness. That is common
sense of a common sense order. In scope
the law applies to all convicts and con
fines their labor to the county in which
the offense was committed and which
must therefore pay for their maintenance
during the period of imprisonment. Even
with respect to the jealousies which
spring up always between the various
portions of the same county, the provis
ions of the act are wise. Briefly, they
are to the effect that the work done shall
be equitably distributed, no more than
five miles of work being legally done on
any road until a like mileage of labor is
done on all main roads lea iug to the
county seats.
What the people of Pennsylvania are
interested in knowing, touching this
question may briefly be slated. They
want first to know what system the coun
ties will adopt to prevent the prisoners
from escaping; second, the cost of the
system as compared with the former
method of keeping convicts in- the coun
ty jails; third, the effect, upon the con
victs, of actual labor as contrasted with
the pseudo-lubor of those jails; and
fourth, tho comparative valuo of the
work done upon the roads themselves.
This tost may now fairly bo made in
Washington county, and in tho public
interest. Judge Taylor is urged to mako
the tost severe. J'hila. Inquirer.
Oovkbnor Stone has issuod his proc
lamation lo the peoplo of Pennsylvania
asking them to send promptly such mon
ey and supplies as they can well spare te
the sufferers from tho hurticuno in Porto
Rico. The peoplo of tho Keystone State
have always responded promptly and
liberally to the call for charity, and the
Qovernor's proclamation will meet with
a prompt and hearty response. Gover
nor Stone bimsoif started the ball rolling
with a contribution of fino.
John Birkinbine, Engineer-In-Chief
National Export Exposition.
Quite frequently reports have been
sent out from different parts of Pennsyl
vania of the dlscovory of valuable mines
of gold or silver and tho latest comes from
Bedford county, where an analysis of ore
found in the Poe mountains Is said to
show "?1,800 worth of gold, and $2,500
worth of pure silver to the ton." This
beats the Klondike, says an exchange,
and if it were true the Kystone State
ought soon to take front rank in the pro
duction of the precious metals. Of all
the great strikes heretofore repot ted none
has "panned out" In sufficient quantity
to pay the cost of production and thi j
last one is not at all likely to prove an
exception. Pennsylvania will continue
to lead the States in the value of her min
eral products, but gold and silver w ill
not be very prominent among them, not
withstanding the wonderful gold mines
of Bedford connly.
