REPUBLICAN STATE COSYESTIOX.
The Republican State Convention, held
in tlio opera bouse at Harrisburg Inst
Thursday, was a business-liko barmonU
ous gathering of Republican hosts of
Pennsylvania. The work of the conven
tion censnmed a little over three hours
time, and there wasn't tho semblance of
discord in its proceedings, unless we
should dignify the puny ellort of one Bill
Fliun to raise a rumpus over lhe adop
tion of a certain plank in the platform by
that nanio. The tickot named is such an
exceptionally strong one and tho candi
dates so universally popular that the
tnouth of tho ranting insurgent even Is
closed, and the guerilla sheets all over the
State have not a peg left to hang a kick
upon. The platform is admitedly one of
the soundest that has ever been placed
before the voters of the Keystone State,
and commended on all sides as such. A
good account of the convention's work
is given in our telegraphic columns on
fourth page. Read the platform.
Skvkral Democratic orators show a
willingness to accept some other ratio
than 10 to 1. They would have boon
hooted from the platform if they had ven
tured to talk that way in 13.
Norody hears Brvan ask now if any
body has seen General Prosperity. That
particular piece of Imbecility has been
retired. Prosperity is here. It is felt In
every state in the Union, in Bryan's as
well as the rest.
The day after the Boston Anti-Imperialist
League adopted an address de
manding the immediate withdrawal ot
the United States from the "Philippines
the government issued a call for ten
more regiments. . While the two events
were not connected they fit togother in
the right way.
If the Democratic party intends to
make expansion tho leading issue in its
next campaign, in fairness and logic,
niRKe uieveiana its candidate, tie was
tho first original anti-expansionist. He
was the first American ot prominence to
bold his countrymen up as land-grabbers
and marauders.
In his speech to the Iowa Democrats
Bryan remarked that a military estab
lishment of 100,000 "suits the young men
who get fat job's in the army." Few who
ever put on an American uniform had a
fatter job iu the army than Col. Bryan.or
oue in which high rank and inexperience
wore more clearly combined.
It seems probable that the Democrats
in 1900 are about to repeat their action in
1861, when they declared in national con
vention that the war policy was a failure
and demanded Its abandonment. It is
recalled that it was many years thereafter
before the Democracy secured even a
measure of the country's confidence.
Having returned from a tour of half
the counties of the State, Depnty Secre
tary of Agriculture Martin speaks very en
couragingly of the condition of the crops.
He found the oats crop up to the average,
except in Bucks county. In some dis
tricts it runs as high as 70 bushels to the
acre. The wheat crop is not so favorable,
although the damage by the lessen fly
has been exaggerated. In the western
part of tho State fair crops have been bar
vested, 25 bushels to the acre being about
the average.
Si eak two of the work of the late Re
publican convention at Harrisburg the
Democratic Philadelphia Times says.
"The platform is a superb stuuip speech,
and whoever framed it should lead on
the Republican hustings from start to
finish. It has the mr;t also of present
ing a great deal ot truth relating to the
war, to the prosperity of the country, to
the necessity for sound money, to the en
larged employment of labor at increased
wages, and to the necessity for expan
sion of our commerce. On all these
points it hits the bull's eye of the politi
cal target, and it is a most happy record
to hare as breastwork for a party domi
nation that has considerable distrust in
the ranks of lis following. The declare
tion in favor of "industrial, commercial
and national expan ion,' is up to date in
'political program, and Is ono cf tho now
issues against which the Democracy can
lock horns only with the certainty of de
feat."
lhe Platform and the Ticket.
The platform of the Pennsylvania Re
publicans is magnificent. It says exact
ly what it means and says it plainly.
It is for Mckinley for re-election ; for
his conduct of the war; for the soldiers ;
for the policies that have brought pros
perity in their wake; for expansion and
againxt the hauling down of tbe Stars and
Stripes ; for an inter-oocan canal and the
building up of the merchant marine ; for
the gold standard ; for Gov. Stone's ad
ministration; for everything that is pro-
grexsive.
It is a platform to accept in full and in
detail and to shout for. The convention
has done well in this respect, and we
commend it as a mode! to other States,
And the convention has also done well
in making up the ticket. Tbe drift has
Jjeen so conspicuously in the direction of
Burnett, Brown and Adams that no other
result was possible. Tbe ticket is all
riht and so is the platform, and those
who pj)ose either or both will have
very lonely and
I'liil'i. Inquirer.
uninteresting time.
. NuOlo oius of 1 iciucui ....
Before an audience of 10,000 persons,
filling the vast Methodist Auditorium at
Ocean Grove, N. J., to the doors, William
McKinlcy, in a speech of five minutes
Friday afternoon, made bis Philippine
policy as clear as day. In the course of
his remarks the President made use of
those words, which will strike the
American people very forcobly, and
which will be heartily endorsed by every
honest thinking person who reads them:
"Love of flag and love of country are
not inconsistent with religious faith. I
believe thero is more love for our
country and that more people love the
flag than ever before. Wherever that
flag Is raised it stands not for despotism
and oppression, but for liberty, opportu
nity and humanity, and what that flag
has done for us we want it to do for all
people and all lands, which, by the for
tune of war, have tome within its juris
diction. "That flag does not mean one thing in
the United States and another in Puerto
Rico and the Philippines. There has
been doubt in some quarters respecting
the policy of this Government in the
Philippines. I pee no harm in stating it
in this presence. Peace first, then, with
charity for all, to establish a government
of law and order, protecting life and
properly, for the well being of the people
who will participate in it under the Stars
and Stripes."
Forest Comity VI. C. T. U. Convention.
The thirteenth annual convention of
Forest County W. C. T. U. was held in
tho M. E. church ot Marienvillo last
Tuesnay and Wednesday, Aug. 22 and
23, and was well attended by the ladies
from Tionesta, Wet Hickory, Endeavor,
ClaringtoD, Redclyfl'e and Nebraska,
those from Neiltown being unavoidably
detained at home.
The first altcrnoon was take up with
the usual routine work of conventions,
the chair being ably filled by the Presi
dent, Mrs. Orion Siggius, of West Hick
ory. The evening service was opened by
Dr. S. S. Towler in the absence of the of
ficiating minister. Music by the Mando
lin Club. Lecture by Miss Elizabeth
Greenwood of New York on "Our Na
tion ; Its Privileges and Dangers." Miss
Greenwood is the World's Evangelistic
Superintendent and an eloquent speaker.
She thrilled every patriotic heart with
enthusiasm over the advantages of living
in such a country as ours, but mado all
listeners realize the horrors of harboring
within our beautiful land the evil ser
pents: excessive Immigration, Sabbath
desecration, pauperism and crime, and
the great evil dragon, tho organized li
quor traffic.
Wednesday morning at the executive
committee moeting tbe following super
intendents were elected : Mercy. Mrs.
Clara Towler; Mothers' Meetings, Mrs,
N. P. Wheeler; Suffrage, Mrs. H. M,
Cook ; Loyal Temperance Legion, Mrs,
Sue E. Warden; Lumbermen, Mrs. Geo.
Watson; Press, Mrs. Kate B. Craig;

Mission, Mrs. Ludwig; Uufermented
Wine, Mrs. Jos. Dale; Purity, Mrs. L.D,
Bowman ; School Savings Banks, Miss
Sarah Miller; Soldiers, Mr. Savilla
Shipe; Railroad, Mrs. J. R. Allendor
During tbe session tbe reporta from the
various Unions and Loyal Temperence
Legion, from our Corresdonding Secre
tary and Treasurer, were very encour
aging, and the papers read and sent by
tbe Superintendents were all so good
that we could not discriminate aud speak
of ono more than the other.
Tbe report from the State Convention
of '93, by our delegate Mrs. Jennie M.
Work, was so interesting, it makes us
doubly regret losing this sistar from our
ranks, as sue goes soon to Colorado.
The service m memory of Mrs. Mc-
Kean, the houored president of Nebras
ka Union, and the Quiet Hour of Medita
tion and Prayer which followed were sol
emn and impressive. After this came
election of officers: President, Mrs. Jen
nie Patterson, Marienville ; Vice Pres.,
Mrs. N. P. Wheeler, Endeavor; Rec.
Sec., Mrs. Clara Towler, Marlon ville;
Cor. Sec., Mrs. W. W. Kribbs, Marien
ville; Treas., Mrs A. B. Kelly, Tionesta;
Delegate to State Convention, Mrs. Orion
Siggins ; Delegate to Mothers Conference,
Mrs. N. P. Wheeler.

message received from Endeavor, con
taining greetings and the text 2d Thes.
2 : 16, 17. Answered. One telegram seut
by convention to our earnest co-worker,
Mrs. Mary T. Irwin, who is now in a
hospital in West Chester. Committee on
Time and Place reported Nebraska as the
place of our next annual meeting. Com
mittee on Reception announced all dele
gates cared for. Committee on Resolu
tions offered tbe following :
whereas, uou lias again granted us
the privilege of assembling in Conven
tion, we, therefore, the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Forest County,
render nnto Him thanksgiving and praise
for tbe boundless mercies of the past
year, especially for tho tbe great Peace
Commission that has lately been held by
representatives from thirteen nations;
and we reaffirm our allegiance to tbe
principles of total abstinance and probi-
tion, and pray that God's hand may lead
us in all our ways. Therefore be it
Resolved, 1. That we most empbati
cally condemn the Sunday excursions,
the Sunday newspapers and all other
forms of Sabbath desecration.
2. That tbe most effectual means of
reclaiming the drunkard is the regenerat
ing influence of Christ's love in tbe
heart, therefore we implore the Local
Unions to exalt tbe office of Evangelistic
Superintendents and aid them in their
work by every possible means.
3. that we commend more earnest
temperance teaching in the day schools,
Sabbath schools, and all our Young Peo
ple's Societies. .
4. That we will give our co-operation
to the party that promises soonest to
bring about the abolition of the liquor
traffic, and still reserving individual
opinion, we are in favor of Equal Rights,
believing that the time has come when
women can claim a voice in making the
laws which control them and their child
ren. .
gle siauard oi purity lor iuuu and wo
men. 0. That this body endorses the action
of Local Unions in publishing the tiames
of applicants for licenses, and we recom
mend to the County Union the publish
ing of the names of applicants, including
bondsmen, signers and attorneys, the ob
ject being to dissuade good men from
thoughtlessly giving their influence to
this unrighteous business.
7. That the convention recommends
to all the Unions that they continue to
protest against the canteen system iu our
army ; and also to do everything possib!e
to prevent the seating of a Mormon po
lygamlst in our Halls of Congress.
8. That the convention urge all Coun
ty Superintendents to bo more zealous in
the work of their Departments.
9. That we return our thanks to the
press of Forest Co., which has given us
space in their columns for temperance
items and reports, and would respectfully
solicit their aid in future.
10. That we give our hearty thanks to
Miss Elizrtboth Greenwood for her good
words of cheer during the convention as
well as her excellent address of the even
ing, and also thank most sincerely the
people of Marienville for thoir kind bos
pitality; the Pastors and trustees ot the
M. E. church for the use of their edifice
the musicians for their selections and
songs, and all who have assisted in any
way to make our convention a success.
