THE CITIZKN. WILLIAM C. NF.GLEY - - Publisher THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1900. VNNOI N< K>l I.NTS. Subject to the Republican Primary. > For Justice of the Peace. MAJOR C. E ANDERSON. R. B. GILCHRIST. L. P. WALKER. E. I. BKL*GH. .McKinley on tlie Election. At the "Founders Day banquet at l.'nion League in Philadelphia, last Saturday evening. President McKinley made a speech in which he said: "ffe are always in danger of exaggera tion on an occasion of exultation over a political victory, and while the result is mainly due to the effort? of our splendid party, there is sometimes a tendency to give too little credit to other forces, which, silent though they may have been, were none the less potent We must not withhold generous acknowl edgement fron that great body of our citizens whe, belonging to another party, powerfully assisted in the achieve ment of the result which you celebrate to-night, nor from that other large body former members of our own party, who, with honesty of purpose separated from as a few years ago on financial issues, have now returned and are home again to stay. "Nor is any accounting for the victo ry either just or accurate which leaves out of the calculation the almost un broken column of labor engaged in mechanics and agriculture which re jected the false doctrine of class dis tinction as having no place in this re public, and which rebuked those teach ings which would destroy the faith of American manhood in American char acter and American institutions. The business men in every part of the coun try, typified by this great organization, were a mighty factor in the recent con test. And may we not also ascribe much to the influence of the home with Its affiliations* In any previous election was it greater, or in any did the counsel of the fireside determine more largely the vote of the electors? "Nothing in government can be more impressive than a National election, where the people delegate their power and invest their constitutional agents with authority to execute their behests. The very character of the transaction clothes it with solemnity. It is serious business. Its issues are al ways moment nous. What a lesson in self -government it teaches. Sixteen million voters on the same day, throughout every section of the United States, depositing their mandate and recording their will Done by the people in their own com munities, in the very precincts of the home, under the supervisions of their fellow-citizens and'ehosen officials, and to insure its freedom and independence, the ballot a secret one. God forbid that any citizen selected for that sacred trust should ever attempt to divert the will of the sovereign people or tamper with the sanctity of their ballots, "Some disappointments follow all elec ' tions. but all men rejoice when an elec tion is so decisive as to admit of neither dispute nor contest, The value of a National yictory can only be rightly measured and appreciated by what it averts as well as by what it accomplishes. It is fortunate for the party in power if it understands the true meaning of the result. Charged by the people with administration and legislation, they are required to interpret as well as to exe cnte the public will, and its rightful in terpretation is essential to its faithful execution. "We cannot overestimate the great importance and the far-reaching conse quences of the electoral contest which ended on the sixth of November. It has, to me, no personal phase. It is not the triumph of an individual, nor alto gether of a party, bnt an emphatic dec laration by the people of what they believe and would have maintained in government. A great variety of subjects was presented and discussed in the prog ress of the campaign. We may differ as to the extent of the influence of the several issues involved, but we are all agreed as to certain things which it set tied. POLITICAL P. W. Lowry of Butler is a candidate for Chief Clerk of the Senate. The vote of the first elector in each column is McKinley and Roosevelt 712,005, Bryan and Stevenson 424,232. McKinley's pluralty 288,443. In Ohio the votes was McKinley 543,018, Bryan 474,882. McKinley's pluralty 89.038 • The Chinese Puzzle. The United States, actuated by what are deemed to be the interests of human ity, has appealed to the Powers not to let the negotiations at Peking come to naught through failure to invoke agencies other than the Ministers at the Chinese capital for a settlement of the great questions in issne. Not being ashamed to express the opinion that the negotiations appear to Is) in danger of failing this Government asks the Powers if they will not say what they think al»out taking the subject out of the hands of the Ministers, who, having suffered indignities at the hands of the Chinese, are not able to consider the matter in an entirely judicial manner. PemiHylvaiiiH Post-ollices. The annual report of J. L, Bristow, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, shows that Pennsylvania ranks second as to the number of Presidential j»ost oftlcrs, having 300, of which 14 are of the first class, 7H of the second, and 217 of the third class. This Is an increase of II over last year. First class are those in which the receipts are over S4O, 000 a year, the salary of the postmaster ranging from $3,000 to SO,OOO. Those of j the second clam are where the gro-s re ceipts are between SW,OM) and $40,0<)0, and the salaries are from $2,000 to #2,- 900. while a third.class office is one in which the receipts are lietween $1,900 and SB,OOO, and the salary from SI,OOO to $1,900. The report says: "The mini lier of Presidential postofflces in a State may Is- safely regarded as an index of the industry and commercial activity of its people. In this scale New V ork ranks first, Pennsylvania second, Illi nois third, lowa fourth and Ohio fifth. Pennsylvania holds the first rank with regard to fourth class postoffices.or those where the receipts are less than $1,900 a year and the salary less than $250 per quarter for four consecutive quarters. There are I 948 of these in Pennsylvania, Virginia, strange to *sy, ranking next, with New York and < >hio in tie third and fourth places. Penn sylvania, however, ranks twenty fifth as to average compensation of the i>o*t masters, it being only slH|.{ii>. while in Massachusetts, where the compensa tion is the highest, it is SBSO 89. The gro-H postal receipts in Pennsylvania are $8,835. 598.01, ranking after New York with $17,415,207.39, and Illinois with $10,022,503.98. The amount expended in use of the mails per head of the pop illation is #1.40, which puts P'-nri sylvania twentieth in the list,- Pitts burgh Times. Vmba-satlorC'hoate<>n Lincoln. Ambassador Choate address?.-d the Edinburg, Scotland. Philosophical So ciety. recently. His subject was Abra ham Lincoln. It was an a bit* and schol arly performance. The best part of it wa» his description of Lincoln s speech in Cooper Instirnte. New York, because it gives as a vivid and life like portrait of this "true born kins of men. " He said: ' It is now forty years since I first saw and heard Abrahrm Lincoln, but the impression which be left on my mind is ineffaceable. After his great success in the West he came to New York to make a political address. He appeared in every sense of the word like one of the fdain people among whom he loved to be counted. At first sight then- was nothing impressive inq>osing about him--except that bis great stature singled him out from the crowd his clothes hung awkwardly on his giant frame, his face was of a dark pallor, without the slightest tinge of color: his seamed and rugged features bore the furrows of hardship and strug gle: his deep-set eyes looked sad and anxious: his countenance in repose gave little evidence of that brain power which had raised him from the lowest to the highest station among his coun trymen : as he talked to me before the meeting, he seemed ill at ease, with that sort ot apprehension which a young man might feel before presenting him self to a new and strange audience, whose critical disposition he dreaded. It was a great andience. including all the noted men— all the learned and cul tured -of his party in New York;editors, clergymen, statesmen, lawyers, mer chants. and critics. They were all very curious to hear him. His fame as a powerful speaker had preceded him. and exaggerated rumor of his wit —the worst forerunner of an orator—had reached the East. When Mr. Bryant presented him. on the high platform of the Cooper Institute, a vast sea of upturned faces greeted him. full of intense curiosity to -ee what this rude child >f the people was like. He wa9 equal to the occasion. When he spoke he was transformed: his eyes kindled, his voice rang, his face shone and seemed to light up th<* whole assembly. For an hour and a half he held his audience in the hollow of his hand. His style of ipeech and manner of delivery were severely sim ple What Lowell called "the grand simplicities of the Bible, with which he was so familiar, were reflected in his discourse. With no attempt at orna ment or rhetoric, without parade or pretence, he spoke straight to the point If any came expecting the tur ged eloquence or the ribaldry of the frontier, they must have been startled at the earnest and sincere purity of his utterances. It was marvelous to see how this untutored man, by mere self discipline and the chastening of his own spirit, bad outgrown all meretri cious arts, and found his own way to the grandeur and strength of absolute simplicity. ' He spoke upon the theme which he had mastered so thoroughly. He dem onstrated by copious historical proofs and masterly logic that the fathers who created the constitution in order to form a more perfect union, to establish justice and to secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their poster ity. intended to empower the Federal Government to exclude slavery from the territories. In the kindliest spirit he protested against the avowed threat of the Southern States to destroy the Union if, in order to secure freedom in those vast regions, out of which future States were to be carved, a Repulican President was elected. He cloaed with an appeal to his andience, spoken with all the fire of hi* aronsed and kindling conscience, with a full out-pouring of his love of justice and liberty, to main tain their political purpose on that lofty and unassailable issue of right and wrong which alone could jnstifv it. and not be intimidated from their re solve and sacred duty by any threats of destruction to Government or ruin to themselves. He concluded with this telling sentence, which drove the ar gument home to our hearts: "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we may understand it That night the great hall, and the next day the whole city, rang with delight ed applause and congratulations, and he who came as a stranger departed with the laurels of a great triumph. i THE great speculation in New York and Brooklyn elevated and surface line stocks has drawn attention anew to the extraordinary hairiness done in moving the population of Greater New York to and fro. The reports for 1900 will show approximately 700,000,000 passengers carried,yielding a revenue of $35,000,000 to the companies. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit has a greater mileage than all the other companies combined, the total being 515 miles. The stock capitaliza tion and indebtedness of these several systems foot up close to $250,000,000. Modern Barbarism. The custom of burning people at the stake in punishment for heinous crimes seems to be spreading. Heretofore it has been confined almost exclusively to the South. But out in "Colorado lately a negro boy, aged sixteen years, was chained to an iron post and burned to death amid the most horrible agonies. The wood was piled up to his knees and set fire to. The details of (he scene were horrible beyond description The screams and contortions of the victim who writhed and prayed and pleaded to be shot, were certainly not edifying to the three hundred men who witnessed the tragedy. He had committed a terrible crime, the gssanlt and murder of a little girl aged eleven vears. But this fact in itself proved that he was a physiological monstrosity, a degenerate without human instincts. The theory probably is that by inflicting inhuman punishment upon one of this class of creatures, others might be terrorized and prevented fron committing sioiilar crimes. The theory is not good. Yon cannot cure cruelty and brutality by setting of still greater cruelty. And those intelectual freaks who are capable of coininiting such crimes are as insensible to terror as to other senti ments. Yon might a>i well burn a tiger or hyena at the stake with the idea of deterring other tigers and hyenas from pursuing the instincts which prompt them t<> kill men and rob graves. '1 he negroes who are capable of committing these crimes probably never see a news paper or eyen hear of these burnings at the stake. The only effect then is to demoralize the men who take part, and to some extent all who read about it. Beside it lessens our respect for the majesty of the law, and scandalizes the whole country, giving foreign nations the notion that we are a half barbarous people And too, in these hasty execu tions by a furious mob, there is always danger of executing the wong person, 'libit is not an age for burning people at the stake.
