Republican County Ticket For Jury Csmmlnsloner. WILLIAM R. PATTERSON. Republican State Convention Chairman Andrews of the Republican State Committe, issued tho following call for the holding of the State convention this year. PHILADELPHIA, Pa; June 20, IS9I. — To the Jlejjubliean Electors of Pennsylvania: Alter consultation and correspondence with the members of the Republican State Committee, and by their direction, I here by give notice that the Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen repre sentatives will meet in State Convention, at Harrisburg,'on Wednesday, August, 19th 1891, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the purpose ofplacing in nomination candidates for the offices of the State Treasurer and Auditor Genaral, for the nomination of eighteen candidates for delegates at large to the Constitutional Convention provided for in tho act of Assembly approved on June 19th, 1891, and for the transaction of such other business as may bo presented. Notice is specially directed to the fact that in accordance with the provisions of the last mentioned act, each Senatorial dis trict is entitled to a representation of three delegates in said constitutional convention, two of whom only can be members of the majoritv party in said district. The electors of each district are therefore requested to make proper nominations for delegates to said convention, the rules governing the nomination of cadidates for State Senator to be applicable. In this connection the chairman desires to call the attention of the Republican vot ers to the reccommendation of the State convention of 1882, that "they allow the greatest freedom in the general participa tion in the primaries consistent with the preservation of the parly organization.'' WILLI AK H. ANDREWS, Chairman FRANK WILLIJIO LBACH, Secretary TO-MORROW a week this nation will cele brate its one hundred and fifteenth Fourth of-July. Th» 4th of July, 1776, was the first, and the people then rejoiced because the convention of delegates assembled in What we now call "Independence Hall"' in Philadelphia, had agreed upon resolutions declaring them free and independent of England, and severing the political rela tions of the thirteen colonies with that eountiy, and that "Declaration of Inde. peudence" was promulgated on the 4th ol July, 1776. Since that day this Nation has outstripped that of Great Britain in wealth, population and power, and the old significance of the day is lost to us, but it is yet a good day for all Americans to quicken their appreciation of their political responsibilites, and it would be a par ticularly good day for the Republicans of Pennsylvania to resolve to rid themselves of tho rotteAest system of party politics in vogue in any of the States—a system that puts and keeps such fellows as J. D. Cameron and M. S. Quay in the United States Senate, enables them and their agents to control the party nominations and appointments in almost every city and county in the State, and makes a farce of popular government. Ox "Wednesday of this week Gov. Patti son vetoed the Judicial Apportionment bill. He objects to the bill because it in creases the number of judges. THE signing of the Constitutional Con vention bill by the Governor, necessitates party primaries all over the state, and our County Chairman will have to call the County Committee together to lis a date. Each Senatorial district is to elect three members, but as no elector can vole for but more than two of them, Butler and Armstrong counties need nominate but one each. Besides these three members from each Senatorial district, twenty-seven members are to be elected by the people of the state, but as no elector can vote for more than two-thirds of them, or eighteen, the coming State Convetion will nominate but that member. The membership of this convention, (provided there be one), will be of primary importance to the people of the State and none but thoroughly capable men should be named. The law provides that the convention shall, (if the people rote in favor of it), meet in December next, and that the salary of the members shall be $1,500 each, with expenses. At the same election the people will vote as to whether or no there shall be a con stitutional convention at all—whether or no they wish the State constitution revised. If they vote for revising tho constitution the members elected will proceed to do their duties and if not their election be comes a nullity. So uncertain and complex a feature of the law is not to be commended, as it may prevent a fair expression of the people on the question of revision, and may have an influence on the membership, but tho safe plan will lie for us to assume that there will l>o * convention and elect the best men who offer themselves. The Matchless 4th of July Oration Fourscore and seven years ago our fath ers brought forth upon this continent a new nutiou, conceived in liberty and ded icate)! to the proposition that all men are created equal. Sow we arc engaged in a grt-Jit. civil war, testing whether that na tion so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are men 011 a great bat tle field of that war. We have come to dedi cate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the Nation might live. It is altogether littiiig and proper that we should do this. But iu large sense we cannot dedicate, wo cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who (struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remem ber what we say here, but it can never for get what they did here. It is for us, tho living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to bo here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from this honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause to which they hore gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain,that this Nation under God. shall have a new birth of free dom, and that the goverment of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. — Abraham Lincoln at {iettt/gburg. A Good RepuMican Platform Tho platform adopted l.y tho Ohio Re publicans at fheir convention this week embodies sound Republican doctrine* well expressed. It avoids all empty rhetoric and obscurity: is not unduly expanded; does not commit the party to an> half baked issues, and utters uo uncertain sonml on cardinal Republican doctrine. Our own Stato Conventions arc not always happy—often, indeed, very ill-advised in the string of incongruous, ill digested reso lutions which they impose upon the par>y. Wo recommend our platform-makers to study this Ohio platform and those nsually put forth by the Massachusetts Repuli cans. The result of a little intelligent application in this direction can hardly fail to work a radical improvement in the style, quality and substance of the Penn sylvania Republican platform. The Ohio Republicans take their stand on the McKinley bill fairly and squarely. They challenge tho Democrats to a direct issue on that unequivocal Republican measure, the misrepresentation of which was made to injure the party last be fore its great merits were known. The Ohio contest this year is thus made one of national importance by the frank preisenta tion of the .McKinley bill as an issue in a fairly representative Republican State. The significance of the response next X ov ember to this challenge cannot be mis taken anywhere. The Ohio Republicans show the courage and reality ol their con victions by their willingness to put them to tho supreme test in language and under conditions that can cloud the issue to no one. On the vital issue of honest elections the Ohio Republicans speak out in clarion .tones: '-We demand, and will continue to demand until finally and absolutely scour ed, the free exercise by every citizen of the supreme and sovereign right to cast one ballot in honest elections and have it honestly counted." There is no symptom of weak concession in this. Pennsylvania Republicans may feel some embarrassment because of tho attitnde and vote of one ol their Senators on this crucial issue. As long as the Republican vote is suppressed or fraudulently overcome in a single State in the Union, the Republicans of other States, if they can do no more, can at least lecord their indignant protest. When the Republican party can pass by with indiffer ence or silence a great national wrong like that ol the fraudulent elections in the South it will be time for it to assume some other name than the historical synonym for human rights which it still has the right to bear, even though its efforts to right that wrong have thus far proved resultless. The other planks in the Ohio platform as far as they deal with national affairs ex press tho Republican position with brevity, precision and force. It is as admirably suited to the candidate selected to lead the party as ho is suited to it. for they both represent the Republicanism of President Harrison's Administration and of the Fifty first Congress. The election will offer a fair tost of the hold which that Republican ism has upon tho people, and for that reason the eyes of the whole country will be turned toward Ohio in its coming im portant State canvass.—Phil'a Press. CAMERON and Quay see a chanco of get ting licked at the next State convention, even though the election of delegates in nearly all parts of the State was lot go by defanlt; and they are now making an effort to have Andrews continued as State Chair man. I f they succeed the convention may as well not nominate a State ticket. Ballot Reform Legislation Signed. The Governor yesterday signed the Con stitutional Convention and tho Baker bal lot reform bills, thus giving final effect to all the ballot reform legislation of the re cent session. Of the three bills passed the only one which takes immediate effect,that requiring a new and original assessment of the votes, was signed on the day of adjourn ment and the enrollment of tho voters is now in progress nnder its provisions. The Baker bill does not go into effect un til the fall election of 1892, the elections for this fall and next February being held under tho present law. The Constitution al Convention w ill depend entirely on the the vaters at the coming election, they be ing required to decide whether a conven tion shall be held or not. At the same time 177 delegates are to be elected, 27 at large and 150 by Senatorial districts. This fact alone will niako the coming election one of the most importaut ever held in this Commonwealth. In the choico of so important a body of men the greatest care should bo exercised. In view of the many interests in favor of a Consti tutional Convention, it will be the part of wisdom for the people of all parties to as- Bume that a convention will be held and make their choice accordingly. Peanut politics should be ignored in their selection and both parties should put forward only candidates of first-class qualifications and the highest character. Small politicians should not be entrusted with tho business of making or murdering constitutions. — Philadelphia Timet. THE old Phillips and McDowell luss was re-fought in Lawrence county, the contest being for tho control of tho county com mittee, and at the convention in New Castle, Saturday, the Phillips faction won by one vote. Bullets Mix With Love. Because she refused to elope with him, William Myers attempted to kill Mrs. Barbara Harding, and then sent a bullet _into his own brain. The tragedy occurred "at McKeesport, where the families lived in neighboring houses. The husbands had for years been intimate friends. Both were Germans, both 28 years of age, and each had a wife and a little family. Neither Harding nor his wife had any idea that Myers had for months been violently in love with Mrs. Harding. Myers escorted Mrs. Harding to a picnic, last "Saturday, and told her he had agreed to sell bis houso on Monday, and with the money he and she could run away to Europe. Mrs. Harding indignantly said to him, "No." That did not settle it, how ever. Myers went home with tho Hard ings late in the evening and went into their house. While Harding went to coop the chickens Myers again laid siege to Mrs. Harding's heart. He blandly remarked as he drew a re volver, that if she wouldn't lovo him he could end both their lives right there. Then in German he demanded: AVill you love me; answer, yes or no." The woman's "no" came quickly and like a flash Mvors fired three times straight at her. One ball entered her side and two her breast- The fourth Myers sont into his own head and fell a corpse. Harding came in time to hear his wife say, "Myers did it," and she swooned awa3*. She recovered next day sufficiently to tell the story of Myers insane love. The doctors say "she is not fatally injured 1 TUKRK is a movement on the part of capitalists owning great works to get away from tho big cities with their enterprises. The great packing concerns are now start ing their new stock yards at Tolestnn, Ind. This is a good move. The centralization of population beyond certain limits is in jurious in many ways. The appreciation of values in the crowded districts render them a burden on tho community. A dozen small cities are better than one very large one. — Lima Republican. Six AMERICAN vessels and three British cruisers are to patrol Bering Sea during the sealing season. This usually begins near the end of June, and as there are fifty or sisty vessels to be sought out and warned against poaching, the activity of the authorities is timely. The rest that will be enjoyed by the I'robilof rookeries should greatly enhance their value, so that no permanent harm is likely to ensue to any legitimate sealing interest. Harrisburg Notes. Ou Thursday of la.»t week Gov. Pattison vetoed th-Farr Compulsory Education bill; the bill requiring Insurance companies not incorporated by this state to pay abotus to associations of tiremen, and the bill to prevent deception in the sale of gilded ware, lie thinks the Educational bill was incomplete and defective and that the gilded ware bill is a needle-- and vexatious discrimination, and of the Insurance bill says that be has convincing proof that it was altered aud amended by the transcrib ing clerk 3 and really never passed both branched of tho Legislature. On Friday the Governor approved of the bill providing for a Constitutional Con vention if a majority of the voters say they want one, next November,and whether they do or not they must vote for delegates to the same, three from each Senatorial district, no voter to vote for more than two, twenty-seven at large, no v-.ter to vote for more than eighteen. He also approved of the Ballot-reform bill, which requires the counties to print all the tickets, erect election booths and which revolutionizes our election system, also the bill authorizing applicants for retail liquor licenses to secure their bondsman anywhere in the county, and the following appropriation bills. soo,ooo for new build ings of House of Refuge at Glen Mills, Delaware county; $42,200 to ttie Harrisburg State Lunatic Hospital; *149,500 to the Pennsylvania College; $75,000 for erection of additional cell houses for the Hunting don Reformatory; SIO,OOO to the Jefferson Medical ';< f re; $13,000 to the Blossburg Ho;pii»l. fiiii $2,000 to the Robert Packer Ucspitu.. at That Sa::i3 day he vetoed the Pittsburg wharf bill; the bill providing for a new digq.-t rt the State laws; the bill appropriat ing SIO,OOO to the Philadelphia Zoological Society; the bill regarding the possession of dead bodies: and the bill providing for the distribution of copies of the State laws. It i< evident that Governor Pattison re gards Prof. Snyder as Superintendent of Public Instruction, despite the fact that Superintendent Waller still holds the office. Recently Mayor Stuart, of Philadelphia, asked the Governor to suggest somebody to help reorganize Philadelphia's dis organized financial methods. for answer the Mayor received, through Private Secretary Tate, the following: "I aiu direc ted by Governor Pattison to acknow ledge the receipt of your communication of the 15th inst., and in accordance with your request ho has referred the same to Pro fessor 7. \. Suyder, Superintendent of Public Instruction, with the request lhat he give it his attention.'" —Kx. On Monday Gov. Pattison appointed the the World's Fair Commission. A K. Mc- Clure of Philadelphia is at the head of it, and the members from the western part of the State are Robert Pitcairn, James M. Gully, A. J. Barr and t'hailes 11. Kiley of Allegheny county, Benj. "Whitman of Erie, E. A. P.igler of Clearfield, R. A. Mereur of Bradford and W. B. Clendcnen of New Castle. The same day he vetoed several item* of the appropriation bill, but approv ed of the bill providing for a hospital for the chronic insane and appropriating half a million therefor. Tuesday afternoon Governor Pattison vetoed, the Legislative and Congressional Apportionment bills, lie states at length his reasons for disapproving these measures and says he is satisfied to wait until the people elect a Legislature that will pass bills ol this kind fair to both parties. The Governor explains the manner in which the ratio for legislative apportion ment is found by dividing the population of the State, according to the census of 1889, by 2,000, which is 20,290. lie says every intention of the system is to protect and preserve the rights of the smaller dis tricts, and the manifest tendency is to ward single representative districts. Con tinuing, the Governor says: "The Executive is not disposed to make partisan advantage the tests of approval of any apportionment bill, yet when one pre sented to him contains such an outrageous gerrymander as this, so manifestly in the interest of a political organization opposed to that of which ho is a member, he feels it to be a public service as well as a politcal duty to protect his fellow citizens of his faith from the unjust consequences of it." The Governor says the Congressional Apportionment bill is objectionable for the reason that it is not an appointment based on the census of 1890. It is a re-enact ment of the apportionment of 1887, which was based on the census ol 1880, with the modification that of two additional mem bers allotted to Pennsylvania one is-assign ed to Allegheny county and the other to Philadelphia. With this exception and the excision from the present district consist ing of the counties of Fayette, Washington, Greene and that portion of Allegheny now connected with them: this bill is a re enactment of the act to organize and define the congressional duties uuder the census of ten years ago. The apportionment of 1887 was highly objectionable in many feature- and abouuded in glaring viola tions of the spirit of a fair assignment of representatives. In Philadelphia two of the districts show a difference in popula tion of 77,G00. The Twenty-third district in Allegheny county contains 103,99 l J pop ulatatiou, being 11,208 less than a ratio, while tho Twenty-second district, adjoin ing it and extending over four counties with widely diversified interests, contains 215,740 population. In consequenco of tho Governor's action on these bills, th? State Conventions to be held this year will nominate two Congress mon-ut- Large, and Congressinen-at-Large will be electod every two years hereafter nnti! a now apportionment is made. TIIK President has appointed Win. 11. Brooks to sueced Bavid Martin as collector of Interna! Revenue for the Philadelphia district. The appointment is said to have been made at instance of Quay. Brooks is the author ol high-low license law and is known about the city as -'Black Bill Brooks." PKTROLEVM, taken inwardly, is said to be a sure cure for alcoholism.

For the first time during three trials for his life, Jacob Staub was allowed to go on the witness stand at Uniontowu a few days ago aud tell his story of his trouble with the killing of AlpheusGlover. At the time of his former trials the law forbade the de fendant in capital cases from testifying in his own behalf, but his disability was re i moved by an act pascd in 18S0. Hi- test iniony was as follows: "My full name is Jacob Staub, and I am in my seventieth year. I was b-ira and raised in Maryland, and came to this county in 1801. I was in One Hundred and Sixtj-- eighth regiment and was niue months in the war. My farm adjoined that of Al pheus (Hover on Beaver creek. On July 'JO, IH7U, 1 was engaged with the boys in hauling wheat, and the evening alter we quit work 1 told the boys to turn the horses out in the lot. 1 took my rifle and went down the road, where I heard my hog squealing. I met Verdi Glover on the side of Judy run, coming with the cows. 1 went on past her, and about 200 yards further on I met All'. Glover with his dogs. I asked Glover why ho was dogginjr iny hogs, and he said: I will dog them if they don't stay out of my field. 1 told him if they would not stay out his field 1 would pen them up, but did not want them dog ged. lie cursed mo and said: 'You feel big with that gun.' I said I did not need anv gun, and handed the weapon back to the boys. •'] did not see who took it, but I saw tilover had a club in his hand. I had hard- i |v turned around when Verdi ran between her father and me and begged him not to curse me so. He took her by the arm and throw her away. He then struck mo on the head with tho club and knocked me down, and began beating me until I was unconscious. 1 did not hoar any shot fired, and the next thing I know I was sitting at the foot of an oak tree and my wife was bathing my face with camphor and holding my head, which bad a lump as big as half an egg. I did not shoot Alpheus Glover, and 1 am as innocent of that as a now-born babe. I had no revolver with me on that day. I never made any threats against him to anv one." Staub them related the marvelous story of his escape; ol' how a man walked into his cell at midnight and waked him up: how he was lilted up by a rope.and through the roof, and how two men were in waiting and hustled him off, and finally how he wandered about the country for sixteen years. After being out ju.-t five hours the Staub jury agreed cn a verdict of "not guilty. The court house bell was rung, and the aged prisoner was brought into the court room. Kor tho third time in his life Staub arose, held up his right hand and faced a jury which was to give hiin life or death. With fear and the infirmities of 70 years, his once strong right arm trembled as he heard the clerk u>k tho jury for their ver dict. When the words "Not guilty" reach ed him he sank into his chair and, leaning his head upon his hands, wept tears of joy. lie was immediately discharged, and was met at tho door by his aged wife, with whom he vent arm iu arm from the court honso. The old man was congratulated by crowds of trieuds. Immediately after his discharge he went to the jail, where he collected his goods, and left for his moun tain home. The verdict is received with favor by some and is loudly condemned bv others." The jury was composed largely of old men, who it is claimed, leaned more strongly to the side of mercy ior the aged accused than they would have done at the time the crime wii- committed. 19 years ago.

A Forkston, Pa; woman ha* applied for divorce because she is compe'led to light wildcats too often. The part of the country where she and her husband live is infested with these animals, and as he refuses to move, she wants to leave him. She says that in the last three years she has killed 43 cats. According to the Osicego Record, a maiden of that town says to the girls ot everywhere else: "Don't come here with tho expectation of getting married. Good marriageable men are as scarce a? gray hairs on iny bead. The girls of my set often get so hard up for the sight ol a man we are tempted to go out and flirt with the soldier's monument." Of the 3000 men employed in the sand and limestone quarries of this county, fully three-filths are foreigners who do not pay taxes. It is estimated in court here that during the past six years the cost of pros ecution and suits against these aliens, civil and criminal, has been more Ihan the cost on account of all the other people in the county combined. —New Castle Guardian.
