ALL FOR THE PARTY NOMINEES Governor Stone Makes the Principal Address at a Remarkable Demon stration, In Which All Elements Participated. A source of gratification to every Republican In Pennsylvania must have been the great Republican demonstra tion and mass meeting held in Pitts burg last Saturday night, when repra sentatlves of every element among Republicans In western Pennsylvania assembled to ratify the action of the Republican state convention In placing In nomination Justice William P. Pot ter, of Allegheny, for justice of the su preme court, and Frank G. Harris, of Clearfield, for state treasurer. Flinn men and antl-Flinn men, regu lar Republicans of years standing and former Insurgent Republicans and many Democrats, disgusted with their present party leadership, were present, and all cheered lustily the sentiments of the several speakers in advocating the election of the candidates on the Republican ticket, and in urging the polling of the largest Republican vote ever gotten out at a state election. The significance of this gathering cannot be over-estimated. This meeting means the opening of an aggressive campaign in the western counties, and It was a keen disappoint ment to the Insurgent Republicans, who have been seeking to organize the L'nion party, with the idea of combin ing with the Democrats to defeat the nominees of the Republican organiza tion whenever such a course will be to the advantage of those who are In the minority in the Republican party and cannot get the offices they seek. Governor William A. Stone was the principal speaker at the PlttBburg meeting, and he was very cordially re ceived. He covered the several Issues of the canvass In a thoughtful speech, and after dissecting the Democratic state platform, he told of what the Re publican party had done and In what respect the people are Indebted to Its leadership. THE ISSUES REVIEWED. Among other things he said: "The lost legislature, like every other legislative body, must be Judged by Its work, not by the bills It did not pass, nor by the short comings of its Individual members but by the bills that did paas. The first great crime which this wicked legislature com mitted. In the opinion or the Pemo cratic convention, was t!.e re election of Senator Quay. If this was a Time. It was a crime in which the people of Pennsylvania Jointly participated. It was but the ratification of an issue that was settled by the people at the previous November election. It settled one thing in the Republican party for all time, and that u itiat the win of the majority shall rule It, and when It was settled every one In tbe party, those who opposed bin as wcjO as SILBERBERG, tnose wno tavored nlm. were glad ot It, and no one has questioned It since, except the Democratic convention. "The Democratic platform says that 'The legislature proceeded to that oth er and greater robbery ot the railway franchises of the state worth millions to the plunderers and stripping every city, town and township In the com monwealth of the proper control of Its streets for trolley improvements.' This is a most ridiculous statement, as well as a false one, and made with the thought tht no one would take the pains to read the laws, but would take their word for It. The law relating to surface street railways Is simply an amendment to the street railway act of J8S9, and gives the councils of cities and towns the right to permit the oc cupation of streets that other com panies have abandoned, but still claim to have exclusive rights upon. "The elevated and underground rail way law la new and became necessary to relieve thickly congested streets In large cities. The supreme court had decided that there was no authority to build and operate an elevated railway. Both laws, however, provide that the consent of councils must first be ob tained. The laws simply give the power to councils to grant the right. There Is not and cannot be any valid objection to the lawa, because the con sent to build must first be obtained from the people affected through their representatives in councils. There may be applications to councils for rights over streets where the necessity for roads Is disputed, but this Is a question for the people themselves to determine through their representa tives In council. The laws are wholly unobjectionable. The railways con templated in many Instances may be objectionable. If a city or town should object to a railroad through it that is no reason why there should be no railroad laws. But surely these laws do not 'strip every city, town and township In the commonwealth of the proper control of Ita streets,' as charged In the Democratic platform. MANY GOOD GENERAL LAWS. "I will not discuss local laws af fescting cities of the different classes, nor the laws specially affecting bor oughs. and townships. It will be found that the representatives of the major ity of the municipalities affcted by the local laws passed supported them and voted for their passage. The gen eral laws passed by this legislature are very important. I undertake to say that this last legislature passed more good and necessary general laws than any legislature within the last 20 years. I have only time to mention a few of them. The act establishing the department of forestry Is one of the first, as well as one of the most Important. The state has purchased and agreed to purchase about 324,000 acres of forest land at an average cost of $1.88 per acre. These lands have already largely Increased In value. The commission was offered the other clay $23,000 in advance of what they paid for one large tract. In a few years these lands will produce a considerable state revenue from the sale of ripened timber,. coal and oil. Germany gels the greater part of her revenue from her forests. Besides, the forests are preserved; the streams arc prutecieu. me cumai is aept mure even and the people ran use them as parks for hunting and fishing and ramping We are doing well with this undertaking. It is popular with the people, but according to the Demo cratic platform the commission Is honeycombed with fraud, for this Is a separate department under this law. "The law passed directing that phy sical culture shall he taught In the public schools was demanded by the German citiiens of the state. They have been trying to have this law passed for years. The law punishing kidnappers of children with Imprison ment for life meets a popular demand. The only objection to it is that It Is not severe enough. This legislature remedied one evil of long standing. It passed a law providing that when for a year a judge is unable to attend to his duties, ho may be retired on half salary for the balance of the term for which he was elected. If he is permanently disabled, and a new Judge elected to fill his place. In a number of instances there have been Judceg unahle to hold their courts for years until they died. U saves money to the state, for it dispenses with the necessity of calling other Judges on extra pay and gives the peopde op rortunity to have their rises disposed of hy a Judge of their own counties. "The law rommuting sentences of prisoners passed las' winter has been knocking at the legislature for years. All the prison societies and the prison officials urged this law. Those who visit prisons and are Interested In the reformation of prisoners all fa vored it. The yellow journals did not oppose it until It passed, and then they said tha' we were going to let the prisoners all out of Jail and turn thorn loos" -.ipon '.he community. The pris oners a:e no' discharged, but paroled, and during the time if they commit a crime they must go back and serve the time commuted. THn JT. VENII.E COURT BILL. The juvenile court law Is an ex cellent law. It allows children under 16 years of age to be tried by them selves In a separate court room, and when In custody they are not Incarce rated with older criminals. "The oleomargarine law Is the cul mination of the efforts of the farmers and dairymen for years They have got a law to suit them. Under this law If a man eats c!-.o he must eat It with his eyes open, as well as his mouth. "The coal miners obtained the pas sage of three Important laws, first the law requiring the companies to keep on hand at the mines the neees sary supplies for treating promptly men Injured la the mines. This wlU save the lives of a great maa net each year. Second the store order taw, which abolishes all forms ot stars or ders and allows the employes to buy their supplies wherever they can bay them cheapest Third the law permit ting the people to elect their mine In spectors from a list who have been found capable by examination. The law prohibiting the marriage of first cousins Is a good law. It will reduce the number of Idiots and Im beciles In the state. STRONG CAPITAL COMMISSION. "Wo appropriated four millions of dollars to build a new capitol building. Who is there in this state who does not wish to see at Harrisburg a cap itol building that will be a credit to the state? Now let me tell you some thing. The four men who have been appointed commissioners to complete the capitol building are honest and capable men That capitol will be completed within the time named in the law and for the money named In the law. Not a dollar more will be ex pended and not a day's more time will be asked. The yellow Journals could not assail the personal character of the rommlsslone: s because these men are known throughout the state. They were greatly disappointed. They had cartooned the capitol building as a plum tree and said I was saving It for 'the gang' and would shake it for their Lctiefi:. and when they found that I had clone just what I always In tended to do and had appointed an honest commission they were disap pointed. INSTITUTIONS PROVIDED FOR. "Were the insane asylums and hos pitals crippled by the reduction of ap propriations? Let me tell you that each Insane asylum and hospital gets more after the reductions are made than they have received before. Why was I able to take off 2.000,000 and still leave them more than they got before? The decision of the supreme court that the governor had the right to reduce an Item in an appropriation bill left no doubt about the power to do it and the senators and members knew that I would clo It if the appropriations ex ceeded th estimated revsnue. and so much larger appropriations got through than otherwise would have gotten through. I do not blame the senator and members. Thy knew that I would have to take the responsibil ity anyway and so they thought that while I was about It I might as well take a part of their responsibility as well as my own. They knew, too, that I did not rare much about newspaper criticism. "I will not take up your time referr ing to any other particular laws. There are many other just laws, complicated laws relating to commercial paper, me chanics' liens and insolvent estates are codified and made simple. Every man ought to read the laws passed by the legislature of 1901. You have often seen a book entitled "Every man his own lawyer.' The laws of 1901 come nearer to It than any book that was ever pub lished."

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S STAND Followln gthe Action of the State Con vention, the Republican Club League Takes Vigorous Action Governor Expresses Himself On the Subject. What Is a yellow Journal? That Is a query that been made fre quently since the assassination, ot President McKlnley by Czolgosi. who has confessed that he was prompted to shoot the president through the teach ings of Emma Goldman, the "Queen of Anarchy." Long before the terrible deed of Oiol gost the Republican stnte convention of Pennsylvania, in the platform unan imously adopted at Harrisburg, vig orously denounced certain newspapers which have been assailing the Republi can organization of this common wealth. In this state, what are known as "Wanamaker newspapers" are con stantly arrayed against the Republican party and they do every thing In their power to disrupt the Republican or ganization which has refused to obey the behest of Wanamaker and send hlr.j to the United States senate In the platform of the Republican state convention, held at Harrisburg on Aug. 24 last, this declaration was made: Weiabelieve In surroundit.g the press with every constitutional guarantee vouchsafed to It since the foundation of our government, but it is a public menace that these constitutional guarantees should be o misused as to have permitted many of our newspapers to have decenerated into a yellow Journal ism, such as Is detrimental to any state or country. We charge the so-called yellow journals with belrfg subsidized by the full paged advertisements which they carry. THE ADVER TISER IS PERMITTED TO DIC TATE THEIR POLICY and at his behest these newspapers have per verted the news columns and the editorial page from being an hon est record of daily events to a la bored attempt to misrepresent facts. At the state convention of the Re publican Club League of Pennsylvania, which was held at Scrantcn, after hav ing been postponed on account of the death of President McKlnley, there was a positive sentiment among the dele gates assembled from every county of the state on the subject ot yellow journalism, and the Philadelphia rep resentatives were particularly Im pressed with the importance of some declaration on this topic in view of the attempt of the Wanamaker newspaper, the North American, to Interfere with the police authorities when they de tei mined to prevent Emma Goldman from addressing meetings In the Quak er City. The mayor and the director of public safety were at that time defied by this newspaper to arrest the Gold man woman, and It was generally re garded that the purpose of the poli ticians back of the North American's championing of Emma Goldman was to win the support and votes of the socialistic labor element for the Wana maker Interests. After a protracted conference, in which active spirits In the State League of Clubs participated, the Scranton convention adopted the following: ASSASSINATION OF M KINLEY. "This convention denounces the assassination of President McKlnley as a direct blow at the law making power of the nation, shocking the civilized wcrld and outraging the holiest senti ments ot humanity. The act of the assassin demands ths attention of law makers In the national congress and In every state of the Union. This action Is demanded, not only that the un-American doctrine of anarchy shall be ef fectually stamped out, but that the causos leading to anarchy shall be up rooted and destroyed. Among the cau ses is ths defamation of private char acter, the vilification of public officials, the reckless criticism of the legislative, administrative and executive branches of government and the outrageous car tooning of public and private charactei for ridicule, malice or profit. THIS CONVENTION VIEWS WITH ALARM THE GROWING TENDENCY OF IRRESPONSIBLE AND ADVERTISEMENT-SUBSIDIZED NEWSPA PERS TO UNDERMINE THE FUNC TION OF COURTS OF LAW IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. IT CONDEMNS THE PROPAGANDA OF DISCONTENT AND UNREST PREACHED BY THESE SO-CALLED NEWSPAPERS, AND INSISTS THAT SUCH SENSATIONAL AND MALI CIOUS PUBLICATIONS WHICH IN CITE THE WEAK AND VICIOUS TO DEEDS OF VIOLENCE. SHALL BE PROPERLY CLASSIFIED IN THE CATALOGUE OF CRIME. "Realizing that the liberty accorded. to unfair Journalism In Its criticism of official representatives of the Republi can party of Pennsylvania has descend ed to gross and sordid license this con vention dminds that the proper prose cuting officers In counties where ac nmtions of a crimnal nature are made in newspapers against public officials, shall proceed to put to proof or punish them for the wrongs and libels for which they are responsible. "Representing the younger men of the Republican party of Pennsylvania, this convention stands for the princi ples of Abraham Lincoln. Ulysses S. Grant, James A. Garfield, James O. Blaine and William McKlnley. It stand for Republican rule, because the na tion has prospered when the Republi can party has been In power and be cause higher wages have been paid to labor and because capital has besn cir culated by the business world with greater confidence and security." GOVERNOR STONE SPEAKS OUT. Governor Stone in a recent speech In commenting upon this subject asked: "What Is a yellow Journal?" and In renlv he said: "A newspaper that has no party and no country and whoso God Is the ad vertiser, and generally a full page ad vertiser They strive by every possible means to Increase their circulation be cause advertisers pay arcordlng to tht circulation They live on their adver tisements No paper could live If you take the advertisements out of it, and so they hunt up sensations and scan dals to print and make people buy their paper tn see what Is said about their neighbors. They challenge the honesty of public officials. They are opposed to men in office. They are always for the underdog In the fight, no matter whether he Is a dog or a cur, anything to sell their papers and raise their ad vertising rates. "They feed the flames of Jealousy, envy, .hate, prejudice and ambition while honest people sleep. They are the witches of Endor and dance through the night around their caldrons of boil ing scandals and falsehoods and serve up the nasty brew for breakfast to an Innocent and absorbing public. "These yellow journals, by some called smart newspapers, become the pliant tools of unscrupulous men, who through these libelous sheets lash their political opponents. Some can't stand It. I can. I am getting used to it. "They are anarchistic In so far as they teach that governments are cor rupt and fraudulent without proof that It Is true; In so far as they teach want of confidence In public officials who differ with their paymasters politically. Ths best way to overthrow an admin istration of any kind is to teach the people to have no confidence In It. "Hut the yellow Journal will fall, an archy will fall. Our system of govern ment will triumph. "William McKlnley will be avenged. "Out of his martydrom will come wise aud effective laws that will drive anarchy ard nnarclilsts out of this country and all extravagant and whole sale charges of corruption in official life not sustained by facts will be re buked by the people at the polls. A Great Discovery. Not Made by Accident Great discoveries are not always made by accident but often by perseverance, constant study and experience. Such wa the case Ulat resulted in the discovery ol Thompson's Harosma which is remarkable for its cures in Kidney, Liver and bladder troubles, also Sciatic Rheumatism. Ilamsma is remarkable also iu the fact that the cures it makes are Pcrruinent. A Serious Case Easily Cured. The third dose of Thompsons' Rarosma made me feel like anew man. I suffered aboutavcar with pun in the back, side and groin. My bunds, anus, and side of face became numb ; would wake up numb all over ; had to get out of bed and go through gymnastic exercises to get asleep. I made up my mind to sell out the jewelry business, as I lost thirty pounds of flesh in one vear. I am very thauklul I took Thompson's Rarosma and shall remain in Titusvillc. Any person filleted as I was can call on J. J. Hume, jeweler, 29 West Spring street, and learn what BaroMna, Backache, Liver, Kidney and Lumbago Cure did for me. It is a valu able remedy. The aliove cure was effect ed five years ago and I have been well evtr since. J. J. ltORNU. Cured in Four Days. A'wut twenty years ag I contracted a sprain aud lumbago, causing numbness iu back and hips, which cnnliued me to my bed. Capt. S. R. Smith called on me and said : "Get a bottle of Thompson's Barosma," which I did taking larje doses and to my surprise in about four days I rolled out of bed a well man.
