Col. Jamoa M. Oiiffpy, the Hryanite leader of the Pennsylvania Democracy, as a full fledped candidate for t'nited States sen atorJs the latest revelation In the po liticlil situation In the Keystone state. While it has all along been suspected that Millionaire Guffey was not wasting his time and money for nothing, it war hardly supposed that he seriously ex pected to be able to prevent the Repub lican party from filling the present vacancy In the I'nited States senate from this state. Guffey has been play ing a waiting game. He has been de voting almost his entire energies to disrupting the Republican organization and then spreading the doctrine of fu sion In the legislative districts. He has been preaching reform, so as to detract attention from his main pur pose, the election of Democrats to the legislature w ho will vote on the United States senatorship. Ho has, of course, started out with the Idea of first electing Democrats but where he finds that conditions make that Impossible he seeks to do the next best thing for the Democracy make n fusion deal by which one Demo crat and one independent Republican are nominated nnd together they are to wage a campaign against the regu lar Republican nominees. In that way GmTey counts upon cutting down his Republican opposition and at the same time stirring up n feeling of bilterness between the factions in the Republican organization that will ultimately he to his ndvantape. GUFFKV'S REAL POSITION. Hut the Republican voters of Penn sylvania, through an indiscreet utter ance from Col. Guffey. due possibly to his surroundings, have been given an Insight Into his plans, nnd they now have Guffoy explaining. Guffey was in New York attending the Initial conference of the leaders of the Democratic national committee, nnd with Richard Croker spent a whole day at Rlberon with Chairman J. K. Jones, of the Democratic national com mittee, mapping out plans for the Bryan campaign. While on his way home Col. Guffey was interviewed by a reporter of the New York Journal, nnd in that recog nized organ of the Democratic national committee on July 30 last appeared a statement from Col. Guffey regarding the Democratic outlook In Pennsylva nia. In this interview he made no seTet of the real purpose of his plans for fusion with the disgruntled Repub licans. The Journal quoted him as fol lows: "IT TS THE PLAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS THERE TO MAKE THE MOST AGGRESSIVE FIGHT POSSIRLE FOR THE ELECTION OF MEM BERS OF CONGRESS AND MEM BERS OF THE LEGISLATURE SO WE CAN SUPPLANT MAT THEW P. OU.W WITH A DEMO CRATIC SENATOR." When Guffey reached Pittsburg he 1 discovered that he had made a very bad break In so freely and frankly stating while In New York his hopes of Democratic triumphs in the. Keystone 6tae He was taken to task by his Republlcin Insurgent allies, who said that li' this Democratic boast got wide circulation in Pennsylvania it would drive the Independent Republicans bnck Info their rid party lines and the fusion scheme would co to smash. Guffey quickly realized the force of this argument and he pet to work to counteract what he had done In New York. Hp prepared another statement In tended for the eyes of Pennsylvania Republicans. In this declaration he disclaimed any thought nf Democratic victories at the coming election in this state. Accordingly this statement was Bent broadcast through the common wealth, nnd was given due prominence by those papers that are backing the fusion movement on the legislative nominations. The statement, which was printed verbatim In all such newspapers, ap peared In the Philadelphia Times, one of the Insurgent organs, on Aug. 1, as follows: "IN SO FAR AS THE ELECTION OF A DEMOCRATIC UNITED RTATFR SENATOR IS CONCERN ED. THAT IS NOT P.EINO CON SIDERED FOR A MOMENT, UN LESS WE SUCCEED IN ELECT ING A DEMOCRATIC LEGISLA TURE. AND THAT IS NOT WITH IN THE RANGE OF POSSIBILI TIES IN THIS FALL'S CAM PAIGN." In GufTey's first statement the Demo crats were to make a most aggressive fight to supplant Matthew Stanley Quay with a Democratic United States senator, and in the second statement Guffey declares "the election of a Democratic United States senator is not considered for a moment." Republicans have awakened to the Insincerity of the Guffey campaign, nnd they are not going to be caught in his fusion trap In this most important year In American politics. They know that Guffey is one of the mot Intimate and trusted lieutenants of liryan. and that lii.s election to the Democratic national committee over William F. Harrity was only accom plished through the personal intervene tion of liryan himself. GUFI'EY'S IsRYANI'l E RECORD. Experience In Kansas City at the Democratic national convention dem onstrated the character of the relation!-, that exist between Col. Guffey and liryan and all the other Uryanites of the present wild-eyed leadership of the rnttle-trapped national Democracy. Guffey, whllo professing to be with David B. 11,111 In favor of a conservative plform and the elimination of the 16 to 1 plank, upon which Bryan had set his heart, permitted the Pennsylvania delegation, which was absolutely un der his control, to vote down Governor Hill's proiMisitlon to have a minority re port against the 1G to 1 plank Intro duced. This was to have been fought out on the floor of the convention, where the undoubted sentiment of a large majority of t he delegates was against the If, to 1 proposition. The vote in th" Pennsylvania dele gation under the unit rule, made the Keysl"iie fiiaSe I letno'-iacy put their f4 votes on lecinit with those of the 1 most rampant or The numans, tnt? a. gelds and the Joneses In opposition to a minority report against 16 to 1. With Guffey In this game was Richard Cro ker, who closed Hill's month by spring ing the unit rule upon him and cast ing the entire New York delegation of 72 votes against the minority report, advocated by Hill. The action of Guf fey and Croker decided the fate of the 1C to 1 plank. It went into the plat form without attempted objection on the floor of the convention. It was quite natural that Col. Guf fey and Richard Croker should be summoned to the first conference ar ranged by Chairman J. K. Jones, of the Democratic national committee. Guf fey and Croker were the only promi nent party leaders Invited. GOLD DEMOCRATS SHY. Guffey is going to have his own trou bles in pushing his canvass for United States senator. The Republicans are now familiar with his game, and are going to watch him closely, but there is a conservative element in his own party that will not permit him to use them for his per sonal advantage. Guffey stands for Rryanlsm and free silver, and the sound money men will have none of cither. No other consistent course Is open to the gold Democrats. Practically the only reason that they opposed liryan four years ago was his advocacy of free silver. The action of the Kansas City convention in specifically adopting a free silver plank at Rryan's demand brings the silver question again before the public. Gold Democrats cannot purport Bryan or Guffey In the pres ent campaign without virtually repu diating the principles they professed in 189(5. Their leaders evidently perceive that the only way to crush out the free sil ver delusion Is to coneentrnte the sound money vote of the country on McKln ley. The course of Bryan in forcing free silver again on the Democratic party shows that it is futile to expect him to abandon this craze as long as he thinks there Is a political profit in It for him, and the only manner by which he can be cured of this error is by an other overwhelming defeat. For this purpose no occasion could be more propitious than the present. The coun try is prosperous, and farmers, work ing men and other tollers, contrary to Bryan's predictions, have seen prices and warps rise under the gold stand ard. Many men can understand the truth now, as they could not in 180(1, when the nntlon was just emerging from a disastrous panic. Guffey stands for Bryanlsm and the gold Democrats of Pennsylvania will vote against them both. FUSION WILL HELP BRYAN. The gold Democrats are primarily opposed to Guffey, because his success means Bryan's success. Those who at tended the meeting of the Chester county Democratic committee held last week or road reports of the pro ceedings were impressed with a state ment made by W. S. Hastings, who was a delegate to the Democratic con vention at Kansas City. He Is an ar dent advocate of fusion on the legisla tive ticket, and In a speech before the county committee said he favored fu sion because it wauld help Bryan, and he wanted to do everything to poll a big vote for Bryan. Of course he is for Guffey for United States senator. AN AFTERNOON TEA. The Mnn Attended It nnd Mnnnsred to l!u-ve Some Kan "Now, Muck,' you will go with me to Mis. S.'s tea tliis iiiteinoiiii, wou't you? She is such a dear woman we canucit possibly disappoint her, mid you know I cnuuot go alone." This by Mrs. B. to Mr. B. lit the breakfast table. "Well, 1 will go, then, as a personal favor to you; also to prove what I have always said that teas, pink teas, yellow teas, ull tens, are the most idiotic, use less form of social gathering ever invent ed. Yon enter the house, greet the hos tess, frame some wut of sentence it mat ters little what to which (.he replies, 'Yes, so good of you to conic,' or, 'Lovely day.

At any rate C o'clock saw the B.'s nt Mrs. S.'s tea. Mr. B. walks up to the hostess, shakes her hand cordially oud exclaims in audible tones, "Would you believe, Mrs. S., that I was found dead in bed at 4 o'clock this morning?" To which Mrs. S. sweetly replies, "So good of you; just like you." He passes on to the younger sister, repeats his query, to which she also gives a faraway, vacant reply. After milking a tour of the room in such a manner, he spies n woebe gone looking mnn in a corner of the apartment. "I will try him also," thinks Mr. B., and accordingly marches up to the mnn and puts forth the question. The man slowly removes his gaze from the floor to Mr. B.'s face and exclaims in a perplexed tone: "What's that you say? Rather an extraordinary state ment for a live man. I" "Shake, old man; you nre the first per son here to listen, understand nnd answer what I have said," whereupon all was ex plained. "But, my dear fellow, why do yon look bo bine and gloomy? If it bores you, too, why don't you clear out?" asked Mr. B. of the other, who turns a pitiful face to him. "Impossible." he answers; "I am the host." New York Tribune. Itnllnn I'ollcemen. Everywhere we go in Italy we see a pair of gendarmes standing in the rnil wny stations or in a limy way parading up and down the platform side by side. One is never seen singly; they are always in couples. They are generally hand some young men, immaculately dressed in black, with cocked hats, white gloves nnd swords. They never appear to be doing anything but looking about and are apparently on well dressed to think of soiling their clothes with ordinary police men's duties. Their existence has no doubt been a mystery to many n traveler. They must be exceedingly numerous, for they nre seen nt even the smaller stations nnil always in inseparable couples. They arc known as carnbiniiri and nre made up of picked men from the Italian army, who receive increased pay, serve for eight years and then have a claim for some civil post in the public service. They are said to form n very creditable anil eliicient national police, and without their watchful surveillance uets of brig andage would be frequent in Italy us in former times und perhaps political out breaks nlso.

Arrnniteiuent For the Annnul Con vention of the State l-cnunc of Re publican f'lnhN to II Held In Phila delphia, at Which Prominent Men Will Sncnk. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Aug. 7. Gen. Frank Reeder. chairman of the Republican state committee, was here nearly every day during the past week preparing for the formal opening of the state headquarters next week. The general has been in consultation with his chief of staff, T. Uirry Eyre, of West Ches ter, and they have mapped out their plans for the campaign as far as it is possible for them to do so at this time. The preparation of campaign liter ature and the selection of the assist ants in the various departments has been attended to and next will conic the work of getting in touch with the committeemen throughout the state. This will be given careful attention. It Is proposed at an early day to have a conference of some of the leading men in the party organization through out the Etate in order to get reports us to the condition of the party or ganization and suggestions as to what Is best to be done in the various dis tricts. The organization of a corps of competent orators will be taken up and the Democracy will be given an aggressive campaign in very doubtful districts. Gen. Reeder proposes to pay particu lar attention to the several congres sional districts where the Democrata aro apt to endeavor to make a still hunt with the hope of finding the Re publicans neglecting their canvass. The state chairman looks to the active Republicans in such districts to"smok8 out." these Democratic dark lantern campaigners and to see that the Inter ests if the Republican candidates are well taken care of throughout the campaign. STATE LEAGUE CONVENTION. Within the last few days Chairman Reeder had a conference with J. Hamp ton Moore, president of the State League of Republican clubs, relative to the arrangements for the state con vention of the State League, which is to be held In this city on Sept. 17 and IS. This organization, which Is com posed of a large number of active young Republicans in different parts of the state, is going to be an import ant factor in the coming campaign. Gen. Reeder says he will rely upon the young men to give him material as sistance in the work of getting out the party vote at the coming election, and he will look to them to help to arouse interest in the canvass as it progresses and to make recruits wher ever possible. The state chairman has undertaken to help the members of the State League In the matter of procuring prominent speakers for the mass meeting which they are going to hold on the first night of the gathering. The opening gun of the campaign will then bp fired. There will undoubtedly bo a large attendance of Republicans from every county in the state. Gov ernor Roosevelt, Senator Wolcott and several other stars are expected to be present nnd address the convention. The local Republican clubmen have prepared an Interesting program for the entertainment of the visitors, which will include among other things a banquet at Belmont Mansion, which la located In one of the most beauti ful portions of Fairmount Park. The Republican r.tate committee headquar ters will be brilliantly Illuminated with electric lights on this occasion, and there will he every attention paid the active party men who gather here to discuss matters for the welfare of the Republican party. There Is no oppo sition to date to the re-election of J. Hampton Moore as president of the league, as he has made a very capable and faithful officer. Upon his shoulders fell much of the responsibility of pre paring for the Republican national con vention, and he did his work well. The parade of Republican clubs on that oc casion, which was under the auspices of the league clubs, was a very credit able affair and evoked very favorable comment from Chairman Hanna and other members of the Republican na tional committee. Reports from different sections of the state show that there Is a deep Interest being taken by Republicans of Pennsylvania In the national cam paign, and that there is every assur ance that this state will give a very large Renib'ican malorlty. A TIOOSIER TALKS POLITICS. Among Gen. Boeder's recent callers nt headnuartors was Judge Crumpack er. member of congress from the Tenth Indiana district. Judge Crumpacker will probably be one of the speakers In the Pennsylvania campaign. In com menting upon the political situation the Hoosier congiessman said: "The people are not fools. They ap preciate conditions that have brought prosperity.. They do not want silver at Hi to 1 or any of the Bryanito prop ositions. The pxpress reaffirmation of frea coinage In the Kansas City plat form at the 'heaven born ratio' will cut but little figure, for every voter with intelligence enough to be a gold stand ard man knows that Bryan Is the per sonification of the free coinage policy, platform or no. platform, and that he cannot be galvanized into anything else. 'The leopard cannot change his spots nor the Ethiopian his Rkin.' A Democrat who would go into the Bryan eamp except for that declaration Is a victim of self delusion. THE "PARAMOUNT ISSUE." "Paramount isues are sometimes ex pressed, but they aro never made by platform declarations. The people think and form impressions of parties as organized entitles, with virtues and vices like individuals, and the party, considering its history, character and professions, that has the best claims upon the public confidence usually wins. Many voters have pronounced party predilections without being able to define them, but they have an intel ligent bash Just the same. "Imperialism will receive its share of attention on the stump and in party organs during the campaign, but the people are disposed to look upon the question as a political stalking horse, trotted out for this campaign only. If Democrats were sincere in their denun ciation of imperialism the country would regard it as a case of political 'Jim-jama.' "I have no doubt that the people of this country would oppose imperialism if It were seriously proposed, but they cannot be led to confound that specter I with a patriotic effort to estaonsn or der on American soil. The people ex pect us to govern the newly acquired possessions according to republican principles, and to treat the inhabitants thereof as Americans and not as for eigners, but they know full well that we cannot govern them at all until In surrection is subdued and order estab lished. In other days we were compell ed to use force to subdue Insurrection and put down rebellion on territory held by the same kind of title that we have for the Philippine Islands, but no one regarded it as imperialism then. M KINLKY WILL WIN. "McKlnley will win next November because the people are satisfied with his administration of the affairs of the country, both at home nnd abroad. All the material pledges of the St. Ixinis platform have been faithfully perform ed, nnd some notable things have been done that were not on the program at all. The exceptionally prosperous business conditions all over the land, the enormous foreign trade during the last three years, with its balance in our favor of over a billion dollars, the jreat stride this nation his made to ward the posit iou of leadership aiming the world powers, combine In an ir resistible appeal to the common sense, the conscience and the patriotism of the whole people. "Bryanlsm, on the other hand, as In 1SS6, stands for free trade and Idle work shops, a debased currency and commercial dishonor, the shiftless against the thrifty, for tumult against law, for a subservient Judiciary, for the abandonment of a high national duty toward a helpless race. In short, Bryanlsm represents the destructive forces of civilization." TO GET ONE'S OWN PATENT. The Conr.e to I'true If nn Attorner U ot Available. The patent office commissioner, in an swer to nn inquiry concerning the course of procedure In obtaining a patent, re plies as follows: "One having made nn Invention in or der to obtain a patent therefor must exe cute nnd tile in the patent oll'ice an appli cation for the same, together with J15, the first government fee. An application consists of a petition setting forth the in vention and praying for the grant of the letters patent, a specification describing the invention, specifically claiming the new features, a drawing illustrating the invention and an oath which must set forth that the invention has not been in public use or on sale or described in any publication for more than two years lie forc the date of the application and for which no foreign patent has been granted for more than seven months. Upon the receipt of the appjicatioii it Is sent to one of the 30 divisions of the patent office to which by its nature it belongs. In due course it is taken up for examination to determine whether it is new nd useful. "If found to be new, nn application. U allowed the applicant, lie is notified thereof and is given six mouths in which to pay the final government foe of $1X1, nnd the patent is issued within three weeks after the final bill Is paid. If the application is found to lack novelty, a letter Is written to the applicant pointing out the objections and referring him to any prior patents or publications which may have n bearing on the case. A pat ent if for a mechnulcal invention is granted for 17 years. Other patents are granted for 7 and 14 years, the gov ernment fee being respectively $10, $13 nnd $30. "An applicant for a patent need not employ a patent attorney, but it is pref erable that he employ one who is familiar with preparing applications, versed in making claims anil preparing the proper amendments if necessary." Chicago Record. A Trnthfal Iln.hand. David (ilickmau of Chicago was up in a police court in that city on a charge of cruelty made by his wife. He denied the charge and said his wife threw coal at him. "But it was soft coal," Interrupted Mrs. Glickiiiiin at the suggestion of a lawyer. "Your honor, I was always good to my wife," said Glickman. "I bought her wine and" "Who drank it?" interrupted the pris oner's stepson. "I did," confessed Gllcknuin. "I also bought her roast chicken." "Who ate it?" nsked the Btcpson. "I did," came the answer. "I nlso bought her candy, nud fruit, and pie, and cheese, and sauerkraut." "Yes, and who ate that?" inquired the wife. "I did," responded the truthful hus band, nnd ha was convicted. 1'IhIi and I.lnlitnlnff. Did you ever hear of fishes getting struck by lightning? Weil, they do. The brown trout is peculiarly susceptible to light ning. During storms and particularly in the mountainous sections of lVnnsylvnnia large quantities of them ore killed. Oth er kinds of lisli with less sensitive organ isms are not affected. Experts claim that the secret lies in the fact that the brown trout rests on the bottoms of the streams, whereas the other fish swim a short distance above. The trout nre not literally struck by lightning, but the elec tricity is conducted to the bottom of the stream If there is any iron in tlie ro?ks, and the fish thus receive a shock. They become paralyzed, but do not die at once. The paralysis exists chiefly In the middle of the liody at the spine. Philadelphia Record. Carrying It Too Far. "Look at me," said Rockingham.
