A\-n here is the platform of the
Democratic convention at Reading
boiled down to short paragraphs:
We look with alarm upon the abund
ant harvest.
We depreciate the general advance in
wages.
We denounce the increase of the
price of wheat.
We notice with regret that men are
returning to work.
We view with sorrow the decrease of
the price of silver.
We take no stock in the report that
there is gold in the Klondike.
We regard with horror the stifling
smoke from the factory chimmeys.
We regret the return of Rood times.
We denounce those who would ask
men to work.
We brand as an imposter the advance
agent of prosperity.
We again assert that the tariff is a
tlx.
\Ve refuse to believe that this nation
is prospering.
We arraign as liars, villains, cut
throats and horse thieves all who do
not worship William J. Bryan.
Any attempt to drive the wolf from
the door will be considered a blow at
foreign institutions and the cardinal
principles of our party.
We rejoice that we have at last gain
ed a victory over William F. Harrity.
We decry the use of any money ot her
than silver in the purchasing of
delegates.
Judge Acheson has rendered a de
cision in the United States Circuit
Court at Pittsburg, declaring the alien
tax law unconstitutional, that :t is in
conflict with the fourteenth amendment
of the constitution; that the tax law
discriminates against the alien laborers
as a class, which the fourteenth amend
ment prohibits.
Commenting on this the Philadelphia
Times remarks, in which the great
majority of the. people of the State
will agree: A tax of 3 cents per day is
only a righteous act and its purpose is
twofold. First, to exclude that class of
labor from our uiidst as much as possi
ble. and second, to make the alien la
borers who remain with us to com
pete with the legitimate laltor of the
State, pay a very small proportion of
the cost of • maintaining the countless
privileges they enjoy under our free
institutions.
It is not an unjust discrimination
against alien labor. On the contrary
it does not impose upon that class one
half its share of the additional expense
it imposes upon the citizens who pay
the taxes to mantain the conrts. the
schools, the roads and the prisons which
are necessary for public order and
safety. If this tax cannot be imposed
then the lawless aliens can run riot in
every community as they do now in
particular sections of the State, loading
our people with enormous taxes and yet
enjoying every privilege of oui citizen
ship except that of voting, and for that
privilege this alien class cares nothing
unless their votes have a commercial
value.
Judge Acheson seems to assume
that the law is unconstitutional be
cause it discriminates against a par
ticular class of residents in the State.
He overlooks the fact that without stvh
statue our laws largely and oppressive
ly discriminate against the honest
American citizens, and in favor of the
alien and temporary residents. Viewed
from the standpoint of justice and 1
public order and safety, we regard the
alien tax law of Pennsylvania as in ac
cord with that equity that free govern
shottld maintain ft>r all classes and con
ditions who reside within the common
wealth.
POLITICAL."'
Alex McDowell of Sharon is quoted
as follows.
"I have no doubt of his re-election.
He will have no opposition to speak of
and will be the next Senator without
any trouble. There is not a man in the
State with the power and the influence
that Senator Quay has and you cannot
find a man capable of taking his place.
He is for tariff and that is what the peo
ple of this Commonwealth want. In
the passage of the McKinley bill Sena
tor Quay put his shoulders to the wheel
and heli>ed the bill along, because he
knew the people of the State needed the
tariff in order to benefit them and put
money in their jackets.
"Of course, there is some opposition
and complaints being made against him,
but when the tune comes he will likely
have votes to spare. Quay is for the peo
ple and the people are for Quay. Ilis
re-election will not be because the peo
ple do not want him, but they know he
will represent their rights."
What wonderous changes time doth
make!
Cameron Co. Republicans have in

NEARLY all crops nrean entire failure

RESOLUTIONS.
Following is the report of the com
mittee on resolutions, which was adopt
ed unanimously:
WHEREAS, The week has been full
of enjoyment and profit to us, teachers
of Butler county, in institute assembled,
resolved,
First, That we extend our thanks to
the people of Butler for thoir cordial
reet>j>ti<in and the expression on every
hand of regard for our profession, to the
County Commissioners, who have open
ed to us the doors of the court house; to
the door keepers and all others who
have contributed to our comfort and
convenience.
Second, That we recognize in Dr.
Shaeffer a ripe schoolar, and a through
teacher and a wise counsellor, as well
as a capable officer: that we commend
his interest in libraries for the people,
and urge that public opinion be aroused
so that the town of Butler and many
other communities may avail themselves
of the benefits of the act of 1895. The
library is not a monument or a museum,
but a centre of happiness and the school
for all the people.
Third. That we regard Dr. Houck,
Deputy State Superintendent, a remark
able student of human nature, an able
educator, true friend of the true teach
er. because a friend of the boys and
girls,
Fourth, That we appreciate Dr.
Maltby as an efficent teacher of teachers,
and that we look upon him as a valued
friend and counsellor.
Fifth, That we recognize in Miss
Patridge a scientific teacher, and that
as she lias kindly told us of many, many
mistakes made by the teachers "in
Japan," we intend to prevent, if possi
ble, any Japanese errors in our schools.
Sixth. That we are grateful to Prof.
Sprenkel for the "dear delights of song
that have been ours during the week,
and that with him we believe music
should have a large place in our schools;
that to Miss Flora Smith, the pianist,
we tender thanks.
Seventh, That we are encouraged by
neighborly calls and helpful words such
as those of Superintendent Stewart, •
Lawrence county, and Superintend)
Beer. Clarion county, and that we hoj <■
they may come again.
Eight" That the evening entertain
ments have been highly enjoyable: that
Dr. Houck, Prof. Ditumore, Frank
Beard and Col. Buin were entertaining
and helpful.
Ninth, That we appreciate the effort
1 of Superintendents Cheeseman and Gib
son iu arranging and cerrying out the
program just enjoyed.
Tenth, That as Pennsylvanians we
entertain an honest pride in the public
* school system of our siate. embracing
as it does the kindergarten, the briinary
, school, the intermediate school the high
school and the normal school, compos
ing, as they do, a harmonious
i system; let this system be
sustained by the united voice of tne
people, and ignorance, with its associate
• vice, must give way, and knowledge
[ and virtue obtain.
Eleventh, That in view of increasing
opportunities for self-improvement, we
s urge that the standard of the teacher
be raised, at least in proportion to the
growing excellence in school legislation
' and the growing disposition among the
i peopple tv appreciate educational work.
Twelfth, that we as teachers go to
our work with renewed zeal and de
vout mind, keeping in remembrance
the sacredDess of child life, the sublime
3 possibilities of youth.

Anarchistic
The revolutionary harangue of Dele
gate Debs of Chicago at the "L.tl>or
Convention" in St Louis is being very
generally condemned.
It was reported as follows.
"I beleive the gravity of the indus
trial situation in this country is well
understood. It is qniteevident the dele
gate-; to this convention are cognizant
of the fact that civil lil>erty is dead iu
America. I have said and say again
for the last time 1 have appealed to the
courts for justice and shall appeal to
them no more. We appeal to this con
j vention and to the country for an upris
ing of all the common people in every
j walk of life to beat back the courts and
I re-enthrone the rights of the American
I people. Lalx>r day is near, I predict
that we will see the extraordinary spec
tacle of enslaved labor rattling its chains
and dancing to the music. Labor is the
cheapest commodity on God's earth, and
yet there are those who would have it
at a lower price. Only the other day
the united voice of labor was raised
against the appointment of Mr.Powder
ly to a Federal position, and 1 notice
that he was promptly put into the place.
(Mingled cheers and hisses) From
justice of the peace to justice of the
Supreme court of the United States, all
the judicial powers of the United States
are directed against labor. All the or
ganized sources of society are against
labor, and if labor expects to emanci
pate itself, labor itself must do it.
"The time has not quitecome toincite
the populace. I serve notice on the pluto
cratic element of this country that we
are on the eve of another meeting in
Chicago, which will be attended by all
branches of labor. That convention
will take up these same questions and
will institute agitation and keep it going
untiil the public conscience and public
heart are aroused. There will come
such an uprising as the world has nevei
seen."
"The time will come to incite the
populace. When this time comes yon
can depend on me. I will not stand in
the rear and ask you to go ahead. 1
will be in fiont and say to you. 'come
on.' I shrink from that bloodshed, but
it this is necessary to preserve liberty
and our rights in that event I will shed
the last drop of blood that courses
through my veins. We no longer have
a republic; there is not a vestige ot it
left. The judiciary of this country has
placed a padlock on my lips, forbidden
me to walk on public highways and de
stroyed all of my rights. I.submit be
cause yon compelled me to. lam help
less I appeal to you and to the conn
try to come to the front, take this cause
to heart and these questions will then
1« solved. I will be free and so will
yon. The people are ripe for a great
change. All they lack is direction and
leadership. Let this conference supply
it. Announce to the world that it will
temporarily adjourn for three weeks to
renew preparations. Ask every man to
pledge himself to be there. Come it
you have to walk. No man has a right
to plead poverty."
Mr Debs went over the conditions ex
isting in Pennsylvania, and when he
finished with that state took up West
Virginia. West Virginia, he said, had
more government to the square inch than
any State in the Union, and that meant
less liberty. The less government, the
more liberty—the only perfect govern
ment was no government at all. In con
clusion Debs said: "My friends, assert
yourselves; enforce your cause. Let
every man who can be as good as his
word stand erect. "
"Never in my life have I been more
hopeful than now. lam not gifted with
great visionary powers, but I can see
the beginning of the end. When the
people are ready, and that day is not
far off, there will be a spontaneous up
rising, the Supreme court will be abol
ished, Congress dispersed and the sacred
rights of American citizens and Amer
icans freedmen will be enthroned. 1
ho pe in the march of common intel
ligence we will reach a point where we
will de able to settle these questions
without appealing to the sword or bul
let.
Nearly every delegate iu the convention
rose to his feet and cheered the speeker.
He went on: "The significance of this
movement portends new and important
1 developments along the line of battle.
I I look forward to the time when the
I people will dethrone the power that has
enslaved them. The movement is
marching grandly forword and pluto
cracy will soon understand that silver
and despotism have no right to a place
on American soil."
As Debs finished, the delegates rose to
their feet, jumped in the air, threw
tht ir hats in the air and crowded forward
to greet the Speaker. Chairman Pom
erov pounded vigorously for order, but
it was fully five minutes before the con
vention recovered irom this spell which
Deb's ora tory had cast about them.

Badly frightened, bai determined to
rescue his brother. LMdie reached in for

necessary. High grade goods, a
perfect cut and careful workman
ship are a combination which

are apprecir *ed by the customer.
In thai way lie gets his money's
worth.
A Standard Established. You

plain to you why the clothes
made by us are the most popular.
Ours is a standard that makes
them perfect. We keep our
goods up to the limit of perfec
tion and our workmen all assist
in making the clothes first-class.
It is Easy Eaough to cut into

suits. Our tailors are the best,
our cutter an attist and the per
fect results as natural as the mis
takes of others. Because our
clothes are the best, people want
