Pittsburg, the cradle of the Republi can party, has been selected by the Re publican National Committee as the place to sound the ' 'keynote'' of the Cimpaign The date for the meeting has not yet been settled upon; but Ap-Wr Cannon, Senators Knox and Foraker, Chas. Emery Smith and John Dahsell will be the speakers- Vermont elected the Republican state t'cket, Tuesday, by a majority of 36.000 —the largest since 1896. "V ermont will not cart the deciding vote in the electoral college and it has never been donbtfnl. Bnt the result of the election there is so in keeping with apparent conditions everywhere as to oe ominous d. the overwhelming defeat of the Dem ocratic national ticket To have even a chance of success in November the minority party should now be in a blaze of enthusiasm from the Atlantic to the Pacific. There is no sign of such a state of affairs. Vermont shows a decrease of ten per cent in the Democratic vote. The entire west will show a much greater decrease, for the Bryan men cannot be expected to rally to the standard, which is so coldly re garded in the east." The Bon. Thomas E. Watson was 0 f his nomination for Presi dent on the People's Party ticket at Cooper Union. New York, a few days ago, one of the most vigor oos and brilliant speeches of the year. Mr. Watson was specially severe in his denunciation of the Democratic plat form and the evident lack of sincerity which seems to characterize that party. Be sums the whole matter np in this concise and forceful paragraph: "Boiled down to its real essence, sift ed to its real meaning, the Democratic campaign of 1904 is a mere unscrupu lous hunt for office They (the Demo carte) have no fixed and certain creed. They have no articles of faith by which Democratic loyalty can be tested. A party, like an individual, should seek to build np character. And without convictions there can be no character. By convictions I mean essential beHefs which become a part of a man's very fife; convictions for which he would die Baa the Democratic party any eoeh character T Can yon measure it by a standard like that? Stealing the platform of the People's party in 11496, stealing that of the Republicans in 1904, how can It now pretend to be a party haeed upon convictions? I cannot see Is the management of the National party anything on earth except an ef fort to find ont which is the best bait to pot on the hook. It is merely a question of catching the voter and win ■fag the office. A few years ago they wave clamoring for the income tax. What has become of that demand T Who told them to drop it? The plain paople of America did not. The masses of oar people are in favor of such a tax, almost unanimously. The corporation kings who are financing the Parker ' campaign are naturally opposed to the Income tax. It has dropped out of right. By whose orders?" "THE birds can fly And why can't I said Darius Green, many years ago, and It is yet a case of "can't." We are not built that way. The effort made, the other day. to direct two balloons or air-ships from the St. Louis Fair grounds to Washington D. C. was a complete failure. The wind started the two contestants west, and when it turn ed there was something wrong, which brought one man down very soon and the other after nearly twenty-four hours in the air. though be had made but 165 miles eastward This was a discourag ing exhibit so far as distance is con esrned, though the man who stayed up for a whole day made a record that is worth mentioning. Fortunately, this is not the end of the contest, as it is open to all comers for some time, and it may be tried by the same contestants under more favorable circumstances. The Useless Senate. One objection raised by Governor La Follette's friends to the proposition that he withdraw as a candidate for Gover nor and take the United Statee Senator ship is that be is too poor to be Senator. It is a faet of which every honest Amer ican citizen should feel ashamed that a poor man no longer is expected to apply for membership to the American House Of Lords. As the English House of Lords is beyond the reach of the com moner, so the American House is all the time olosing its doors tighter and tighter against the poor and admitting the rich no matter whether they have brains or none. Once in a while a sharp political boas who is not a mill ionaire manages to get in, and still les« infrequently some state not yet entirely given over to ring rule sends a man whose ability aod character are a credit to bis constituents. It costs tens of thousands of dollats for the average senator to secure his election to sty noth ing of the bribery and perjury involv ed, and it costs more than the salary to live in Washington at the pace set by those whose tastes are those of the aris tocrat Why not abolish the United States Senate? Of what possible use is it? It is even more useless than the proverbial fifth wheel of a wagon, for the fifth wheel may be so arranged as not to make the other four nseless. The only pur pose the Senate serves is to block legis lation that the people want. The plan of having two legislative bodies either municipal, state or national in the pur est folly. If they agree in their delib 1 orations one body is sufficient, and if; they disagroe wo are In exactly the j same conditou as if we had neither. The plan was taken from the limited monarchy which has one legislature for the common people and one for the aristocracy. In this country we are supposed to have uo aristocracy, and the common people should destoy uny- 1 thing that smacks of one. Havinir two • legislatures wfth equal powers gives the lobbyist and the boodler double op portunity. They tacklo the one which they think will be the most easily man aged and failing here they still have an other chance. If we bad one legiala tive body in oar city, state ami national legislation and then hold It accountable we would be infinitely better off tha« we are with two where responsibility is osed as a shuttle oock. —Ex. WAR NOTES. General Sherman's definition of war— " sVar is Hell"—was terse and to the point,and we imagine that no part of this planet s surface ever more resembled the human conception of the infernal regions than did the vicinity of the Chineee city of Liao-Yang, last week. The modern field gun with its long range and terrible explosives, the quick firing magazine rifle, and the mined field and rampart have all added to the "Hell"' nature of war since the days of our struggle for the Union According to the Japanese accounts the two contending armies came to gether on Thursday, Aug. 30th, the lines of either army extending around Liao-Yang. through wheat and corn fields for a distance of several miles. A tremendous artillery duel followed, each side working from four hundred to seven hundred pieces, with terrible havoc to their opponents, then came desperate infantry and cavalry charges, and hand to hand struggles with swords and bayonets—during which fifty thousand men are said to have fal len—making it one of the bloodiest bat tles of history. All this fighting was to the south and west of the city; Gen. Kuroki's army was scarcely engaged. Bnt he was not idle; he went np the swollen stream till he found a fording, crossed to the north side and came down npon Kuropatkin s rear. The latter did not learn that he had been flanked till late Thursday evening, Sept. Ist, when he ordered a retreat, and the Russian army retired to the walls of the city, and part of it across the two bridges to meet the new danger. All the Russians seem to have gotten out of the city and across the river on Friday and Saturday, and to have destroyed the three bridges, thus divid ing the Japanese army, but Kuroj>atkin retreated to a new position at some coal mines about twenty miles north. The details of the week s fighting indicate that both armies went to the limit of human endurance,fighting for days and nights without food or water, and with men falling asleep in their tracks. The tremendous attacks of the Japanese were a surprise to the Russians, one of whose officers spoke of the Japs as being "disciplined demons." No news of Kuroki came on Monday, but on Tuesday he was reported to the north of Kuropatkin, who was making a desperate effort to reach Mukden, while the Japanese armies of Oku and Nodzu were close at his heels, and con tinually engaging his rear guard. Yesterday. Kuropatkin was reported as still retreating north towards Muk den, with the Japs closely following, and with Kuroki's army on a road to the eastward beading for the same place, while the Russians were fearing the appearance of Jap gunboats on the river to the west, and also of a Jap di vision said to have been landed np the Liao. The roads were in terrible condition, and the retreat was slow. A Russian correspondent at Mukden. Tuesday, said that the rains of Monday and Tues day made the roads so sodden that they mired the "lumbering guns and heavy transport trains. Long lines of com missariat wagons, drawn by steaming mules, horses and even bullocks, are straning their way north over the soak ing, cut-up main road from Yen-Tai. Behind them come long trains of artil lery, and back of them still, Kuropat kin's army. The Japanese are hanging on Kuropatkin's flanks, keeping the Russians engaged in a continuous rear guard action. The progress of the re treating army has been slow, owing to the necessity of first getting through the baggage aud guns; bu*: the heads of the coirmissariat trains already have passed through Mukden and are contin ning toward the north "The main Japanese army is march ing up along the roads eastward of the Russian lines of retreat, which converge at Mukden. Another Japanese force is also beading for Mukden from the west ward, coming from the direction of the Liao river. "Marshal Oyarna seems to be making a race for Mukden. He evidently has great superiority in numbers, especially in artillery.'" A Russian correspondent of the Asso elated Press said; ' Our retreat is beiug carried out un der heavy pressure, and with the Japa nese on our heels. The task is addi tionally difficult owing to the terrible condition of the roads and the rivers, which are flooded. "The fighting has now been almost continuous since Aug. 24. and how much longer it will last it is impossible to say, as the Initiative is in the hands of the Japanese. The number of liyes sacrificed and the loss of supplies by burning, bridges being blown np, etc., can only be explained when we once more have concentrated, and this will occupy us for some days. "The Red Cross is working tirele»*ly. not only in aiding the wounded, bat in establishing Iwoths by the roadside and distributing food and tea to the sick, in jured and starving. The Chinese pop ulation is in a state of ferm.-nt." This morning's dispatches say tlwit a great battle is being fought near Mukden A MKMDKANbi.'M regarding the world's supply of iron and steel, prepar ed by the Bristlsh Hoard of Trade for Parliament, is reviewed in the latest issue of "Engineering" which has reach ed this country. The statistics present ed in,th" document end with 190*3. tint they pliable the reader to draw conclu sions widen were not possible before. England, Germany and the United States together produce more than two thirds of the metal consumed every year, aud it is the rivalry between them which attracts the most attention from the periodical just mentioned. In fact, as America took the first place in the race nearly ten yeartj ago. the relative positions occupied more rcm»tly by England and her Continental neighbor possess the chief interest. MARIK COH'LLI claims that the "madness of clothes," on the part <.f woman kind, causes just as much crime and nrihappine»s as the drink habit. And Marion Jenu'-ii Johnson, of Phila delphia, agrees with the celebrated authoress. She says that the poor young man often steals money that his wife may dress above her station and the poor young girl often goes wr--ng I<> canse by so doing she can gratify her love for finery. It makes one wish for a letnrn ol the sumptuary laws of Venice or of the Kngland of Henry VII But ! women of sens« do not U'i mad over their clothes It is the husband who , has grounds for going mad when it | comes to footing the bills. Home Mniili<-M. While William Thompson, a sou of Thomas Thompson, of near Carbon < Centre, was plowing, the other day, he turned up the roots of an old stump, two large house shaken aud a bunch of about fifty eurgs Alvy (1 utter, 1«,.,k keeper for J. (J. Ac YV. Campbell hnp pened to I" there at the time and lie put a bunch «f the eggs in a box and brought them to lintler and some of tiiem have since batched ont. in the show-window of Jbe hardware store. A Sproe in the Rain. "We 11 go to Butler on Thursday, the Ist, rain or shine." said twenty thousand people to themselves, during the latter part of Anjjnst And sure enough they did; some of theui bitched np in the rain and drove to town and some went to the stations. * whole train-load of former Bntler county people went to the B & O. station in Allegheny, in the rain, and it was raining when they get here. They holed up in the hotels and with friends till after dinner: and that made the big gest day for the hotels and restmrants here that they have ever known. One hotel in Bntler set up five hundred din ners and another took in about S2OOO over its bar, that day, but, considering the provocation, there was but little drunkenness and disorder in the town It quit raining at noon and the people flocked to the grounds on the hill, where about twenty thousand admissions were paid, making it one of the greatest Fair Days, the town has ever seen. The new grounds have the advantage of being larger than the old: there was room for everybody, with plenty to eat and drink, and plenty of shelter, while on hot days the grove provides ample shade. The races went on that afternoon and the Grand Stand was crowded. The display of noises was up to the standard. David Hesselgesscr had a very fine Perchreon on exhibition, and VV. H. Raders white Arabian is a beauti ful animal. The best of cattle, sheep and swine were in their stalls —the only novelty being the display of Angora goats by McCandless and Donaghy. These animals are said to be more easily kept than sheep, while their wool or hair brings sixty cents a pound. The displays of vegetables and grains was not as large as usual, possibly on account of the reduction in the prenr ums, but what was there was very good. A lady-farmer of Butler town ship had the largest display. Though there were at least twentv thousand people and about a thousand rigs on the grounds, Thursday, there were no accidents there whatever. The only accident, that day, was canned by the overcrowding of a car as it started down the steep grade from the entrance. The niotoruian seemed to lose control of it from the start, and it rushed down the hill, and bumped into the preceeding car. Those pas sengers who kept their seats were not seriously injared, bnt of these who jumped from the car, Morgan Kennedy of Butler had a leg broken, A. G. Buz zard of Mars was made unconscious by his head stiiking some hard object ; Mrs. Samuel Logan of Wbippo ave., Butler, had her back severely sprained; Thomas Williams, P. B. & L. E. R. R.. ankle slightly sprained by being knocked off rear car while reaching over the front platform to snatch a little child off the track; Louis Blneming and child, Lyndora, cut and bruised; Miss Agnes Black, Sewickley,badly braised,taken to the home of J. R. Reams where she was a guest; John McUwan, Boggs ville, face cut; Miss McUwan, Boggfi yille, eye cut and bla-.-kened and shonld er badly bruised, and Wm. Ralston, Prospect, shoulder bruised. The first "Fair" on the new grounds can be voted a success. Tin- IJaubenapeckH. The first annual gathering of the Daubenspeck family was held on the fartn of H. 8. Daubenspeck at Hooks City.Sept 1,1U04. Although it rained in the forenoon about 300 were present and partook of the good things of the feast. A pleasant time was had renewing old acquaintances and forming new onee, Addresses were made by Rev. McNees, Dr. C. Daubenspeck and I. I).

Lewis Z, Mitchell, Esq . a member of this bar, died at his home in Butler. Pa.. Snnday morning, August "iSrh, 1004, at the age of nearly b<J years Admitted to the bar February 11th, 1845, he was for fifty years an active practltionier, and in hi* death we feel the loss of one of oar very oldest and ablest members. A# a lawyer he wan devoted to his profendon. enjoyed u large clientage until hid retirement from the bar t'liue twelve years ago, au eloquent advocate, true to his clients and always m iking their cause that of his own, and was widely known not only in this commun ity, his adopted county, but throughout Pennsylvania. Gifted by nature and possessing a natural eloquence and fer vor of thought aud imagination and n fine mirid well trained both in law and in Englinh classics, he was surpassed by tew at the bar or in public life. In his practice be confined himself ex clnaively to his profession, and being snccessfnl was recognized as a danger ous adversary before a Jury, He was scholarly in literature and letters and n well read and well educated man in all useful learning As a man Mr. Mitchell was warm heaited and true, and never given to contention, but always manly and sin cere, and as a citizen, uvful to his f«l lowman, as wan often shown by the dif ferent position# he was called to fulfill, among them being that of the first clerk of the courts of the county after the creation of that office As a separate one, and a member of the Constitution al Convention of IH7if. We shall ever remember his cheer fulness and uniform kindness and th<' urbanity and courtesy with members of the bar aud officers of the court. As he lived, »'> he died, in the belief of a Christain religion and faith in an everlasting life, finch a citizen and and lawyer cannot pass from the com nninity in which he has lived so long and be easily forgotten. Therefore the committee in connection with this re port recommend the following resolu tions: Ttiat we will attend the funeral of Brother Mitchell in a body and thus evince our respect for his memory and that we heartily express our sympathy for his family and relatives and direct that a copy of these resolutions be sent them and also la; entered upon the r«c ords of our courts.
