The Citizen presents its readers with excellent portraits of our candidates for Auditor General and Secretary of Internal Affairs.; WSH.'OTAFCAROWFCW AmosH. Mvlis. Amos H. Mylin was born in West Lam peter township, Dauphin county, Sept. 29, 1837, his ancestors being of Mennonite stock, who settled in the township about the vear 1710. He received a common school education, attending the schools ot the township, and subsequently spent several years at Andover College, Mass achusetts; He then became a law student at the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated and was admitted to the Bar of Lancaster oounty opening an office in Harrisburg for the practice ol law in 1861. In 1872 he was elected a member of the lower branch of the State Legislature and was twice re-elected, serving until 1876, when he was transferred to the State Sen ate. His service there was so satisfactory to his constituents that ha was accorded a re-election by large majorities in 1880, 1884 aud 1888, refusing a renomination i n 1882. During his service in the Senate he was chairman of moßt of the leading commit tees, and for several terms was honored with the presidency pro tempore of the body, a position he filled with credit to himself and universal satisfaction ot the members of the body. Senator Mylin is possessed in a large degree of personal traits of popularity. JAMES W. LJLTTA. James W. Latta was born in Philadel phia, on April 19, 1839. Ho entered the military service as a private in the Reserve Corps in April, 1861, and was promoted to ■•cond lieutenant and first lieutenant in the 119 th Regiment Pa. V". in August 1862, and was promoted to the captaincy of company B. of tho same regiment on March 4 1864. In May following he was made captain and assistant adjutant gen eral of volunteers, and was mustered ont of service on January 20, 1866 with the rank of brevet lientenant colonel. After the war he took much interest in local military affairs and was made colonel of the First Regiment, National Guard of Pennsylvania. Governor Hoyt appointed Colonel Latta, Adjutant General of the State, vice A. L. Hussy I, resigned, and he served until the first election of Governor Pattisoo in 1882, when he retired and en gaged in the practice of tho law. In May, 1887, npon the creation of the Municipal Civil Service Board, Mayor Fitler appointed General Latta Secretary, which position he filled very satisfactorily nntil he was elected Clerk of the Conrt of Quarter Sessions in 1886. 1893 he was re elected to the same office. In June, 1891 General Latta was placed on the list ol re tired officers of the National Guard, having served fifteen years in the State Militia since 1861. Sheep and the Tariff. Tho San Antonio (Tex.) Expres* con tained the following: "Talk about the great strike, said the sheep man as he nervously twirled bis last year's straw hat in his band, it is nothing compared to tho destruction ol values in Western Texas by Tariff agitation, a* far as San Antonio is concerned. A few years ago Rheep in Western Texas were worth from three to four and a half to five dollars a head, and the land they grazed upon was rated at from throe to five dollars an acre. Now what are sheep worthT Next to nothing. Thero is no sale for sheep, except under foreclosure for dobt, and unless creditors can be prevailed upon to extend their leniency most of what remains in the coun try will change bands in that way before long, if any one can be found to take them at any price. Many have been sold in this way, and I will cite a few instances to show how values have shrunk since the profits of wool growing were knocked off. Reoently a flock of sheep of about 10,000 head, which two year* ago were rated at $2 to $2 50 per head, being exceptionally well bred and cared for, wero sold lor 65 cents per head. Another flock of 1,200 hoad, a few years ago worth $3.50 per head, with selected ones at $5, were sold at 67 cents. Another flock of 2,100 were sold a few days ago at 35 cents. And the land where most of these sheep were run A snap of the fingers expressed the valno ton wool grower placed npon the land."

Corea. the bone of contention, like the proverbial bone, seems to have 110 voice in the alTair. The war, however still goea on. The Canvass in this State. The first week of General Hastings' can vass has served to show ia a very lively degree the great interest the people are taking in tha situation. The enthusiasm that has been displayed at every point,and which closed for the week with the great demonstration in Westmoreland county on Saturday, makes it evident that the signi ficance of an overwhelming Republican majority is understood and desired by all. The importance of conveying to Presi dent Cleveland a command that there must be no further tariff agitation under this Democratic Administration such as was threatened cannot be denied. It is a re sult that appeals to the patriotism of Dem ocrats and Republicans alike, and there is abundant evidence in every vuarter of the State that thousands of Democrats are uniting with Republicans to bring it about There is no other course for them to pur sue. "When Mr. Cleveland announced, ofter the passage of the Senate bill, that the tariff war was not ended, but would be carried on in the future as long as the Democrats are in power, he was menacing the business of the country with a continu ation of that depressed and uncertain con dition which has afflicted it daring eigh teen months ot Democratic control. In this purpose he has the support of the radi cal free trade element of his party. That intention of the President to renew the tariff fight when Congress again meets in December leaves no room in the Demo cratic party at this time for any man who does not believe with him that there should be further agitation and business disturb ance. Xo one can vote the Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania or elsewhere with out giving his indorsement to that policy of further disturbance declared by the President, by the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and by their fol lowers. In the face of the country's in dustrial distress every other question shrivels into insignificance in comparison. Xo other thing is in the minds and hearts of the people. They are not concerned in the mere details of executive administra tion in the State when they aro so sure, as they are now, of the trustworthy oharacter of the men who are to be pat in charge of these affairs; they want a result that shall halt the policy of ruin and restore confi dence and wholesome business relations. General Hastings has admirably gauged this situation. He has not done it with the narrow mind of partisanship, but on the plane of patriotic statesmanship, with the practical knowledge of an enlightened and successful business man. On that gronnd not only Republicans but many who have never before acted with the Re publican party are meeting with him in the common cause. It is no wonder the people are aroused and enthusiastic. Since the days of the war there has never been so much to arouse them. They have not since then had a higher motive for the votes which they will cast. They intend to pronounce for industrial peace and busi iness prosperity, so wickedly destroyed npon the advent of the present adminis tration. To accomplish that purpose the majority cannot be too large. It will be all the more impressive and effective if it shall run into the hundreds of thousands. Suoh a result will be worth all the effort that can be expended upon it.— Prets. A VOTE for the Democratic party this fall implies approval of the Gorman tariff and of the legislative scandals accompany ing its passage. No honest Democrat can evade his political obligation to pass judg ment npon the work done by his party at Washington. He mast cither sign the Qcrman bill orveto it by his ballot in Nov ember, or else he can do what the Presi dent did in neither signing nor vetoing it —ho may stay away from the polls alto gether. THK 45th star will not be added to the national flag before next Independence day. The Fourth of July is the only day on whioh the starry additions can be made to the flag. The probability is that there will be at least three stars added by the Fourth of July, 1895. The admission of Utah will doubtless be followed by the ad mission of New Mexico and Oklahoma. DBRHA BBBCKKNKIDKK, a son of the de feated candidate, went on a grand drank and tear on Friday and used a dirk on one of the friends of Owens, the victorious can didate. Desha caused trouble at Washing ton by his bellicoso nature, and was se verely reprimanded by the court. The Old Prisoner's Song. An exciting episode occurred about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the stops of the postoffice. For a few moments there were indications of a riot. Postmaster O'Donnell and a policeman being the ob jects of the threats of a large gathering of grind army men. The discipline in which the old soldiers had been schooled prevail ed over their temporary incitement to make trouble. The cause of the racket was E W. Mcin tosh, a veteran ol the Fourteenth Illinois Volunteers, who had been for eight months a prisoner in Captain Wirts's summer re sort at Andersonville. lie has been for some years a resident ol Decatur, 111., hut resides now in Indianapolis. He sells pho tographs of himself as he appeared when ieleased from Andersonville, a living skele ton, books detailing his prison experience, more horrible than any tales of Calcutta black holes, and sings songs which he has himself composed. lie visited Postmaster O'Donuell's offico and asked to sing, from the big front steps, a couple of songs to the old Grand Army men, who were clustered thick upon the steps and standing about in groups on tho broad pavement in front of the postoffice. The postmaster gave his permission, and Mcintosh went out and sang. Postmaster O'Donnell stood at his win dow and listened. He supposed, as a matter of course, that the lilionis ex-pris oner would sing some song of war times ol bivouac or battle. The first verse and the chorus were enough for the postmast er. Mcintosh has a strong voice and a clear enunciation. The moment he tuned up. thrumming a guitar as an accompaniment to bis clarion tone, people flockod Irom every direction, and within hull a minute 500 people were massed upon tho steps and on the sidewalk, entirely blocking three out of four entrances to tho post offloe The first, stanxa and the chorus which Mcintosh sang ran as follows: As I sit idly dreaming of the happy time that's gone, Not a dollar in my pocket and the winter coming on, The thing that breaks me up the most, and makes me feel so small. Is the sight of that old dinner-pail that's hanging on the wall. Grover, Grover, you robbed the boys in blue. What have you done for tho laboring man Since the fall of' 92. Hundreds and thousands are in an awful fix, But we'll have McKinley and protection in eighteen ninety-six. There was more to come, but it did not come. The postmaster rushed from his office seized the singer by the arm and told him ho could not in that way blaekade the postoffice entrance. A uniformed po lice-man who bad rushed into the crowd was summoned by the postmaster's fin ger, and took Mcintosh in tow, conduct ing him down through the crowd to the sidewalk. Tho scores of veterans raited voices of protest. Many clinched fists were lilted, and hisses and groans were heard. The officer was pushed roughly, but he remaic od good natured and pot his man out of the crowd. There he informed Mcintosh that he was not a prisoner, hat that he must not hing and attract crowds on the poatoflice steps nor on the sidewalk. Mcintosh *ai taken in charge by some old soldiers, who returned into the postof tice with him and introduced hiui to Capt. Skinner, the Pension Agent, on the second tl >or. There the old man was given per mission to set up his stand and ply his trade. He was invited to sing at the meet ing of the Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, in tho Pension Office, and made a bit. The Sugar Bounty. In his rpet'i h at Indianapolis, Tuesday evening. McKinley sprang a decided son sat LOB when he pre»ented a i>ha*e of the tariff law recently pa»»ed, which w«s a startling surprise to the audience. The sugar schedule of the law, schedule E, in effect provides for a continuation of the treaty of 1675, made with the king of the Hawaiian islands, under which all sugar from these islands was and is, under the law of 1«»4. admitted free The language of the schedule quoted is: "Provided fur ther, that nothing herein contained (■hall be construed as to abrogate or in any manner impair or affect the pro\isious <f the treaty of commercial reciprocity which was concluded between tte United States and the k'ng of the Hawaiian islands on the 30th t'ay ot January, 1875, or the provisions of any act of con2ress heretofore passed for the execution of the same." This provision was inserted in the law by the senate. It gives to the great Su gar Trust, said Gov. McKinley, an advan tage which has not heretofore been sus pected. The sugar production of the Ha waiian islands is under the control of the Sugar trust; that country is the field of its primary operations. The Demoeraliu party took away from the sugai raiser* ol the United States the bounty of $10,000.- 000 a year and bestowed a bounty of SO,- 000,000 a year on the sugar producers of the Hawaiian islands, giving them an ad vantage over not only the sagar producers of the United States but of the whole world outside of these islands. The Fugar producer of the Sandwicb ulanrts profits by the tariff of 40 per eeut. while upon all other sugars that 40 per cent goes into the treasury of the united States. Ido not question my fellow citi aens, nor discus the propriety of main taining that treaty inviolate. But there were other treaties made by the go\em mem of the Cnited States twice as sacred. When we made the tariff l*w of 1890 anu took away all the tariff Iron) sugar, we gave to the cane producers ami ttie beet producers and the maple sugar producer.* a bountv equivalent to the tariff, and we said in that law that bounty should stand lor fifteen vears. That is all wiped out by the law 0f1894. Not even the bounty of this year is given to the crop that has al ready been supervised by the government of the United Slates, l'.y this law this i» taken from the | sugar produc rs of the country. What is there more sacred in a reciprocity treaty with a foreign country than in a solemn contract made with her own citis^nsT Democracy was criticized for increasing the salaries "of certain officials at a time when the revenues of the country fell be low the expenditures and the money ques tion was touched on, GOT. McKiulty spy ing: "Our money is all good, whether it be gold or silver, whether it be national bank notes of greenbacks, or treasury notes, gold or silver certificates—every dollar is good." "To get the money oat cmong the peo ple is the serious problem to-day. To Uo this we must not only have something to sell, but be able to find somebody to boy. No matter who wants it, we mast keep it. If we are compelled to keep it we suffer the loss in whole or in part of wh it it costs us to produce it. "The banks are tilled with money; mon ey was never more plentiful or less em ployed than it is now. It is bocauso it is not employed that we hsye the stagna tion in business which di.-trcsses the coun try, and the reason it is not employed is because the invitation to safe and profita ble investment is not presented. ••It is not the lack of money nor the kind of money that is our trouble; it is the lack of prosperous manufacturing and the absence ol confidence iu the party lnauag ing the government, and we want a faith in the future When confidence and hope are everywhere manifested, manufactur ers are busy and labor is employed, and when both are engaged the one with a lair profit and the other with lair then agriculture is prosperous aid money has free and healthy circulation." Do you hear there—all you Republi cans. See that your taxes are paid next week. NKAHLT two million feet of Canadian lumber landed at Oswego, N. Y., within twenty four hours, and several times that amount awaiting shipment on Canadian docks ia one of the effects ol the Wilson Gorman Sugar Trust tariff bill that must be very interesting to American lumber men. Tariff and England. Chauncy M. I)epew has reached New York from England, and in speaking of business conditions said: "In England the tariff was the one absorbing topic be fore the Wilson bill becamo a law. I met one of the oldest members of the House of Common? at lunch and he said: "All I care about your country is to know wheth er you are going to let my wool into j our market or not. The conditions iu Europe lor the past year ami since the enactment of thn measure demonstrate how depen dent the industries and business of the old world are upon trade with the new. Our commercial depression has found its counterpart on the other side. Tho trade ol nations has not yet adjusted itself to the instantaneous intercommunication which virtually makes all the world one market. Difference of cost in raw materi al, of labor and of riving become inextrica bly jumbled and confused, and tariff laws and revenue restrictions have not wholly solved the problem Unless we can pro tect ourselves in souio way, the cheapest section of this market will govern every part of it. It is not a ghastly conceit, but a serious question for the statesman and the economist if the people of China or India, who will work for 5 cents and live on 3, are to supply the manufactures of the future." THE sugar planters of Louisiana haven't any doubts as to the benefits of protection to their industry. A Republican congres sional delegation from the Pelican State is among the probabilities this fall. In Memory of my Boyhood Home. [By J.

The condition of affairs politically in S. Carolina is said to be of such a nature as to excite the gravest lears among the Democratic leaders. The alarm is by no means confined to the possibility of the defeat of the regular Democrats by the Populists, but is occasioned by indications that the election will be followed by a dual government in the State and all the riot and bloodshed that accompanies a perturbed condition. The possibilities of the Baker ballot law are numerous and varied. The latest de velopment comes Irom Indiana county and it is likely to have an important bearing on same election results. Ex-Judge Blair of Indiana. a Republican, is the candidate of the Democrats Populists and independ ent Republicans of that county for judge against Judge Harry White, the regular Republican nominee. Judge Blair's triends know this is a Republican year and fear the effect of the voting of straight tickets under ordinary conditions. But to get the benefit of straight tick#: voting they con ceived the plan to get out nomination pa pers for the regular Republican state tick et under the caption of "Independent Re publican." These they are having signed all over the state. Then they will get out county and district papers at home con taining the names of every Republican candidate except Judge White, of whon; they substitute ex-Judge Blair, thus permitting a Republican to vote a straight ticket with Judge Blair's name on. Hastings spoke at Kittanning last Thurs day night, and since then at Greensburg, Jeannette, Jo"hnstown, Huntingdon and Williamsport. Harrison and McKinley spoke at a great mass meeting held iu Indianapolis, Tues day night. Harrison spoke first aud Mc- Kinley followed, and bath made great speeefces. When Gov. McKinley resumed his seat the audience gave way to a torrent of ap plau.se that continued for three minutes. The ex-President Harrison arose and said: I want to propose that before this great meeting breaks up that we manifest our appreciation of the forcible, able and con vincing speech to which we have listened aud of its distinguished author by giving three rousing Hoosier cheers lor Gov. Mc- Kinley. The audience gave the cheers vigorously and added a ronnd of applause for the ex- President himself. For an hour thereafter Gov. McKinley stood oh the stage and held an impromptu reception. Afterward a big procession escorted Jlim back to bis he "el. Next Monday is the last day under the law for the filing of certificates of nomi nation with the Secretary of the Common wealth. There will be seven days follow ing that in which to prepare and file nomi nation papers, but those who become can didates by means of nomination papers do not get tbeir names on thh regular party ticket on the otficial ballot. There are two Congressional districts and 010 judicial district in the State where the conferree system has so far prevented a Republican nomination from being made. The Congressional distiicts are the Six teenth, composed of Tioga, Lycoming, Clinton and Potter counties,and the tweu ty-first, composed of Armstrong, Indiana, Jetferson and Westmoreland. In both these districts many ballots have been taken, and in the former it does not ap pear that there is the least sign of agree ment. In the Twenty-first District there is a better chance of agreement. There are four candidates, one representing each county. Since the last meeting of the con ference there has been a considerable in tervals, during which those who should know the situation have thrown out hints that at the next meeting, which will take place to-day, an understanding will be reached and a candidate nominated. It is probable that Congressman lleiner would have been conceded a renomination with out material opositiou had it not been for tho fact that two years ago the district broke the two term rule in refusing a nom ination to C»lonel llufT. That opened the way for a free-for-all light this year. The experience in these districts with the conferree system—and in the two Con gregossional districts it is not by any means tho first —is sufficient to prompt the abolition of that method. Tho party pen pie should be given a chance to participate in the nomination of their candidates, but that is a privilege whi<;h is virtually denied them under tho conferree system. The failure to make a nomination in either of the districts in question will be wholly due to that system, lor the people if permitted to go to the p.dls and vote direct for a can didate would make a choice at once, and every candidate would be on an equal looting. Nobody attempts to defend the conferee system, because absolutely nothing can be said in its behalf. It has been denounced by formal action of a Republican State Convention, the highest authority in the party, yet corrupt and dangerous as it is, it is still retained in a number of districts. It ought to be wiped off tho (ace ol the earth. A SEVERE tornado swept over northern lowa, southern Minnesota and part of Wisconsin at midnight Saturday, and car ried death and devastation to hundreds in their beds. The largest loss of life is re ported from Algona, lowa, where ~6 peo pie are reported killed and twice that rumber badly injured. Trees, orchards, barns and houses were torn, shattered and completely wrecked, and the terrilie force of the wind made play of picking up a large building and carrying it 30 or 'lO rods. It is reported that the Court llouso at Mason City, lowa, is destroyed and that considerable dam age was done at Cresco, lowa. At the village of Leroy, Minn., a party of 30 couples were dancing and several were killed. The building totally collaps ed. Other points struck were <>., age, Km mettsburg, Burt, Xorth Ceiro Gordo, of Iowa; and Spring Valley, Minn. THEBE is a hop strike on in the Ploas anton hop district in California. Whites, Portuguese and Chinese are all included in the strike. They claim they cannot live upon the wages.

Lowry then intro duced the speaker of the evening, Philip Pendleton who spoke on the subject ot "Good Citizenship." No one who listened this talk could but be made to feel that altbungh be was a good citizen through the help of God he could be better: the speak er said there are great.questions of reform before us as a nation, but these reforms need not be brought abou by a shed ding of blood, for has not Christ shed his blood? And throngh him we shall con quer. The Mizpah Benediction clo?ed the service. Friday morning at 0:30 sunrise prayer meeting was held in the U P. church, Rev. S.

On Saturday, the 28th of July, wo had a little excitement. About noon a Human from Beme came up to where I was drill ing and asked mo to go (,utin the jungle to shoot a cheetah. lie told ine the cheetah had been seen that morning and they (the Buimese) know very near where it was and thought they could beat it out, so I concluded to try my luck on him anyhow, not expecting to soo him as I have been out several times and never saw one till this time. We started about twelve o'clock and ar rived in due time at Minliudawn, a high hill about two miles from Khodaung. Hero we stopped for a rest and to wait for the rest oi tho beaters to come, of which wo had about fifty. When tho rest of the beaters came up we started on and finally arrived at the place of action, which was a sort of u basin with high ground all aronnd and a creek on each side coming together at the southern point. The jungle was pretty thick. I was stationed at the confluence of the creeks at tho southern point, the beaters being strung along tho northern side on high ground. At the word they started yelling at the top of their voices and com ing towards me throwing stones every place. When this had been kept up for about half an hoar and nothing came I got tired waiting and thought they had been over every inch of ground in the place. I crossed the crook bod and was up on tho point between tho creeks when the alarm was sounded. He had been started and went up the creek instead of coming down and I started after him and was well up the crock when the beaters above said he was coming back and 1 stopped, but could only see the creek for about two or three yards, and he got past me without my get ting a shot at him and I started down tho creek again but had only gone a few yards when ho jumped out of the crook bed aud attempted to cross in front of uie to a thick clump of a jungle, when I at once opened fire on him with my Winchester(so caliber Express) the first shot missed, the second one cut tho skin on the back of his neck and the third one struck him just behind the heart, and he jumped in th i brush where wo could not see him. Not know ing whether ho was hurt or not n'> one felt like going too near .he place as it is very dangerous to go near an enraged cat, so the heaters stoned tho place and sent the dogs in, but nothing came out except the dogs, aud they showed no evidence of vio lence. This was kept up about half an hour, u hen finally we peeped around aud ventured pretty close, when we saw him lying there dead and went in and pulled liiin out. Bo stood 20 inches at the shoulders, and was six feet from tip of tail to tip of nose. This ended tho cheetah hunt. Tho man that started him got slightly bitten across tho forearm, leaving three big tooth marks. This was the only person hurt. I will get a bounty of twen ty rupees from tho government for killing tho animal. OHIO is going to dispute Republican supremacy with Pennsylvania this fall.
