Heineman of the Butler Times was unanimously awarded the Democratic nomination for Congress in this, the 22nd Pennsylvania district. "Good government brings good times" says Senator Fairbanks. We have been and are still having good times; there fore, we have had and are still having good government. Why should we change it for an uncertainty ? In this season of roorbacks, political and otherwise, the report that a Massa chusetts shipyard is building five sub marine boats for Japan does not create the sensation that it might in more stagnant times. People now merely ex press a mild curiosity to know if it is true. ToafWatson writes that he is trying to organize "a really Jeffersonian move ment" in the South. Look out for a great rattling of dry bones in that section. The Hon. John W. Kern, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Indi ana,, takes serious exception to the cam paign methods followed by the Eastern Parker managers. Mr. Kern seems to thinlr that political arguments suited to the longitude of New York are whol ly unsnited to the longitude of Indiana. Nor does he care to have new fangled Eastern ideas tried ont on the unterrified and loyal Hoosier voter. On two points Mr. Kern is especially emphatic. He gives fair warning that the "safe and Mae" spellbinder invading Indiana bad better sing low on the "heroism" of Judge Parker's post nomination declar ation for the gold standard; and out raged "vindicators of the Constitution" had better play the soft pedal when at tacking the "lawless personality" of President Roosevelt. Mr. Kern says that the great heart of the Indiana Democracy still beats true to free silver coinage and to the "peerless leader" of 1806 and 1900. "Every attack on Bryan," he reports, "and every slur on Mm cast by tbe Eastern Democratic press is Utterly resented throughout this State, and does incalculable harm." President Roosevelt's letter is alike ■' * meuitauiß us mm iiua w tea mtion. ir pats this Republic upon a lofty plain, 1 and is well worth the perusal of every human being in tbe world who is cap able of reading and comprehending, for it ia not only a splendid testimonial to H the efficiency of the Republican party, bat a most lucid revelation of the aims and aspirations of the American Nation. Below are given a few of the glowing fnttnan from this able and luminous document that are worth committing to memory: No other administration in onr his tory, BO other government in the world, I has more consistently stood for the broadest spirit of brotherhood in our ~ common humanity, or has held a more resolute attitude' of protest against OTMf wrong that outraged the civiliza tion of the world at home or abroad. It has behaved towards all Nations, strong or weak, with courtesy, dignity justice, and it is now on excellent terms with them all. Our foreign policy has been not only advantageous to the United States, but hardly lees advantageous to the world as a whole. Peace and good will have followed in its footsteps. It is but ten years since the last at tempt was made, by means of lowering f the tariff, to prevent some people from - . prospering too much. The attempt was entirely successful. To uproot and destroy the Protective system would be to insure the prostra tion of business, the closing of factories, tiki impoverishment of the farmer, the xoin of the capitalist and the starvation of tbe wage-worker. Daring the last five years more has been done for the material and moral well-being of the Filipinos than ever be fore since the island first came within tbe ken of civilized man. We do not stand still. We press steadily forward toward the goal of moral and material well-being for our own people. Of just and fearless deal lag toward all other peoples. In the in terest not merely of the country, bnt of mankind. There is not a policy, foreign or domestic, which we are now carry ing ont which it would not be disastrous to reverse or abandon. We have striven both for civic right eousness and for national greatness; and we have faith to believe that our hands will be upheld by all who feel love of ooontry and trust in the uplifting of mankind We hold ever before us the all-import ant end of policy and administration tbe reign of peace at home aud through out the world: of peace which comes only by doing justice. Religion of tbe Japanese. Since the promulgation of the new oonstitution in 1889 the Japaneso have had no state religion. By the new con stitution absolute freedom of speech and of religion was guaranteed. Pre vious to that time Buddhism was the •tate religion, although Shintoiem largely predominated. Tbe Sbintos have 191,962 temples and shrines, and and although it has no priests, no doc trinal system, and no moral code, it has asarly fourteen thousand gods, before whom, or some of whom, certain offer ings are made from time to time, to whom on certain occasions prayers are addressed and before whom certain cer emonial dances are performed. Shinto seems to be a sort of homeopathic re ligion—lf it don't do any good it won't do yon any harm. It neither makes its adherents better nor worse. It does not aim to improve the moral nature, but is merely a form of ancestor wor ship which perhaps amuses as well as flatters the vanity of the Japanese. Buddhism, with its gorgeous temples aad gilded images, was introduced into Japan in the seventh century and has BOW maty adherents, there being 71,977 Buddhist temples and monasteries and 54,685 priests. Christianity comes third in numer ical strength, there being, in 1900, 42,- 272 Protestants, 54.002 Roman Catho lics and 25.693 Greek Catholics tbe upper clasjes agnosticism prevails. Buddhism requires little more of its adherents than the Shinto religion. It teaches that salvation may be Obtained merely by taitb in tbe mer cy of Amida, and no change of heart or conduct is required. All that is neces sary i* to love one another, keeping or derly and observing the laws of the «KUtQC. Conditions in New York. Much of the political interest of the day is centering in the state of New York. At their State convention at Saratoga last week the Republicans nominated the present Lieutenant Governor, Frank W. Higgins, for the head of the ticket This was accomplished through the in fluence of Governor Odell, who was op posed by Senator Piatt Odell refused to take Woodward, who had the sup port of Piatt. It was a contest in which Odell was forced to show that he was in command of the organization, and as a result the Senator is deposed from the supreme command which he has so long exercised. The candidate is a man of sterling worth and of independent judg ment, and he will grow in the estima tion of tbe people as he becomes better known to them, but there is nothing so incalculable in our politics as the size of the independent vote in New York, and it is liable to go one way or another with tremendous results. This fact stands out plainly in past election re turns. In 1888 Harrison carried the state by a plurality of 14,373. but at the same election Hill was elected governor by the Democratic party by a plurality of 19,171. In 1892 Cleveland carried the state by a plurality of 45,518, and two years later Hill, tbe Democratic candidate for governor, was swamjed by an adverse plurality of 156,000. In 1896 McKinley carried the state by a plurality of 263,479, and two years later Roosevelt as candidate for governor got little more than 17,000 plurality. Two years later, in the presidential election the Republican plurality bounded up to 143,606, yet in 1902, Odell's plurality as the Republican candidate for governor I was only 8,814. In a state whose poll is liable to such violent fluctuations, political prophecy has a peculiarly difficult task. As re gards the present situation, it is plain that that state campaign and the presi dential campaign are in a very different situation. Dissatisfaction exists as re gards Republican state administration which has nothing to do with national affairs, and it is conceivable that the con verse might be true. One factof great sig nificance is that theslol,ooo,ooocanal im provement plan with which the Repub lican state administration is identified was not favored by a large section of the Republican voters. Forty-three counties which gave a total plurality of 108,279 for Governor Odell in 1902, a year later gave a majority of 205,394 against Governor Odell's canal improve ment plan. The state and national campaigns are running upon such dif ferrent lines that it would be quite pos sible for the state to vote one way in the state election and the other way in the presidential election, as in 1888. At Saratoga, yesterday, after a long wrangle the Democrats agreed upon Herrick for Governor and Harrison for Secretary of State. WAR NOTES. At the beginning of the week the sit uation had not been materially changed. The RBWlfths were busy strengthening" the defenses around Mukden, and forti fying Tie Pass, twenty miles north. The official reports of the battle at Liao- Yang put their losses at 23,058 men, in cluding two generals and 250 other of ficers. Reinforcements and supplies were continually coming in from Har din. KuropatkiD wired to St. Peters burg for more officers. The Japs were gradually closing in on Mukden, their centre was yet at the Yen Tai coal mines, though divisions were advancing from the East and also from the Liao valley, and their idea seemed to be to surround the place. The Japs did not finish burying and burning their dead around Liao Yang until Thursday. A Chinese army is en camped on the west bank of the Liao river, about forty miles west of Muk den, and the Chinese governor of the city requested the Russians not to make a stand at Mukden owing to the danger of destroying the "sacred tombs." At St. Petersburg it was thought that Kuropatkin would retire to the Tie pass. The Japs were very greatly disap pointed with the results at Liao Yang. Of course they made the Russians move, as they haye in every battle since that on the Yalu, but they hoped to capture or annihilate their army, and this they were prevented from doing by Kuropat kin's retreat, and the advantage the railroad gave him in transporting his heavy stuns pnd provisions, while they had to wallow through the mud. They are now closing in upon Muk den, and that they are preparing for a still greater effort is shown by the fact that the militia of Japan has been call ed out, and is being hurried to the front. In the meantime all the resources of Russia are being hurried to the front, and in the next battle Kuropatkin's army will probably be larger than ever. The action of the Rnssian govern ment in receding from its position that fuel and provisions are contraband of war per se, and acknowledging that they are only conditionally contraband, will relieve the tension between tnat government aud Great Britain. The sudden appearance of the "Lena" at San Francisco, was probably to test the position of our goveruuien' on qnestionsof neutrality aud they prompt ly found ont where we stood The Lona and her ere v will jduiain at Mare Island i Navy Yard until the war is over. . Conditions at Port Arthur are becom ing unbearable to the Russians, nnd the c wnnander is reported to havo receive 1 permission to surrender at discretion. Monday and Tues-iaj the Japs were reported as advancing along their entire line, extending from the Liao river to the mountains, a distance of twenty seven miles. Their left wing was re ported near Simuntun to the north of the Hur. The main Rnssian position was at Tie-ling or Tie pass, throngh which the Liao river flows, and they were foitify ing the pass and tbe mountains to their left or east. Their firing line was along the Hun river, a branch of the Liao, to the South of Mukden. A combined land and sea attack on Port Arthur was reported, Tuesday, as being in progress. The censorship of their dispatches caused some of the newspaper cor respondents to establish themselves at Cheefoo, the Chinese port across the biy from Port Arthur, and to rely up on refugees for their stories These have sometimes been exaggerated, and their reproduction iu Japanese papers have done harm there, hence the Jap. commanders will hereafter allow the correspondents with their army free rein, and we will get straighter news. St. Louis Exposition. Agents of the B. & L. E. are prepar ed to sell excursion tickets of all classes to St. Louis for persons wishing to visit the Exposition. Call ou or write near est agent for full information. The 78th. The survivors of the 78th will meet in U. V. L. hall on sth Ave., Pittsburg. Saturday. This regiment was organiz ed at Kittanning in Septeml>er, 1861, with 10 companies recruited in Arm strong, Butler, Indiana and Clarion counties, the field officers being William Sewell, colonei: Archibald Blakeley, lien tenant colonel, and A. B. Bonnafon, major. The regiment was attached to the brig ade taken to tbe front by Gen. James S. Negley, assigned to the Fonrteeth army corps, and participated in the campaigns leading from Green River, Ky., to Atlanta, Ga., the more promin ent engagements being Stone River, Chattanooga. Missionary Ridge, Chick - amanga, Resacca, New Hope Church. Kenesaw Mountain and Atlanta. In all these the Seventy-eighth took an active and distinguished part, many of its members losing their lives. The regiment was detained at the front a mouth after the term of service had expired, owing to the pressing mil itary demands, but finally was returned to Kittanning in November, 18(54, and mustered out.

Tbe balance of trade against tbe United States, taking into account only our purchases of Cuban sugar, has been 127,673,694 in the past six months. Add to this the loss of rev enue occasioned by the 20 per cent re duction allowed the Cubans, which would be $6,720,000, and we have a to tal loss of $34,393,694 as a result of re ciprocity with Cuba. This ought to teach us not to be too fast about making reciprocity agreements We are just as likely to get the worst of tbe deal ;:s not. Evidently we made a bad bargain with Cuba, but we wanted to see the yonng Republic get on its feet, and hence were more generous than we would otherwise have been. DEATHS.

REPRESENTS TTvc mE* ON THE WORLD'S FAIR What Distinguished Statesmen and Others Say of the Educational and Inspiring Exposition at St. Louis. The public utterances of distinguish ed men who have visited the world s fair have but one note, and that of j emphatic praise. Here are some of their comments: Hon. John Hay. secretary of state: "l have never seen nor heard of anything so fine." Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury: "Any father of a bright boy can afford to send him to the Fair simply to study any one of at least a thousand ex hibits." Hon. Charles 11. Grosvenor of Ohio: "A visit of ten days by a man of ordinary aptness and appreciative capacity to the Fair Is almost equal to a postgraduate course in a university." Hon. Benjamin B. Odell. governor of New York: "St. Louis has been badly mis represented by accounts which say that her weather is unbearable. The Fair is wonderful." Hon. George C. Pardee, governor of Cali fornia: "The governor of the Golden State, who has spent all his life within her bor ders, finds that he knew only a little about his state until he came to the Fair *nd saw all her varied products assembled together." Hon. Albert B. Cummins, governor of Iowa: "The Louisiana Purchase Exposi tion is on the grandest scale of any expo aition the world has ever seen." Hon. Richard Yates, governor of Illi nois: "The more I see of the Exposition the more I enjoy It." Hon. Fennimore Chatterton. governor of Wyoming: "I wish the Fair the greatest success. It certainly deserves It." Hon. Franklin Murphy, governor of New Jersey: "It Is well worth coming from New Jersey to see even a small part of this Fair." Hon. A. B. White, governor of West Virginia: "I cannot speak too strongly of the greatness of this Fair." Hon. William J. Bryan: "The Exposi tion is an unparalleled wonder." Hon. John Sharp Williams, member of congress from Mississippi: "The most wonderful thing of Its kind." Hon. Hoke Smith of Georgia, formerly secretary of Interior under President Cleveland: "I am highly pleased with the Exposition and believe it to be one of the triumphs of modern civilisation." Hon. Perry Belmont of New York: "In magnitude and beauty the Fair Is wonder ful. It is worth coming a long distance to see." Hon. Daniel J. Campau. chairman of the Michigan delegation to the Democratic national convention at St. Louis: "It is positively sinful for parents to fall to bring their children to see the Fair." M. Paul Dupuy, editor of Le Petit Parl sien of Paris, France: "I admire the Ex position for lis Immensity, its spirit of the sublime, its general beauty and its com pleteness." Prince George of Bavaria: "I have never seen anything prettier than the St. Louis World's Fair buildings when outlined at night with their millions of electric lights." Hon. Louis E. McComas of Maryland: "The greatest Fair in the world." Hon. John F. Dryden of New Jersey: "The people have no idea of the greatness of the Exposition. Every American should see It." T. P. Shants, president of the Clover Leaf route of Chicago: "Trie Fair is a bij success and will continue to became s greater success as It progresses." Pittsburg Exposition. Victor Herbert and his masterful orchestra, whose engagement at the Pittsburgh Exposition has been one of the greatest musical successes ever witnessed in Western Pennsylvania, close their engagement S;uurdav S g4tlf 'l*llo farewell will be a blaze of glory, a tribute to the beloved conductor which will be memorable in the annals of Pitts burg's musical history. It will be an event no one who has ever heard of Herbort will want to miss. Following Herbert at the Expo will come the Boys Symphony Or chestra, of New York. A wonderful aggregation of youths, whose leader himself is but 22 yearsjold and every man of which is a finished artist on the instrument he plays. Those boys create a furore wherever they are heard and it is expected they will raise a storm of vociferous praise when they have been heard In Pitisburg. Their harpist is said to be a player of such masterly gifts that he at times moves hearers to tears by the mellow sweetness of the tones he wrings from his instru ment. In attractiveness the Exposition continues to be away and beyond any previous year. There are so many more exhibits, so many more enchanting amusements and such a quantity of soul-thrilling music tnat crowds cannot help but swarm to the great show on Duquesne Way. There is a restaurant on the grounds for the benefit of those from out of town, i The Exposition is always weather-proof and warm. Admis lion 86 oto.
