POLITIC ALL.
This week ends the Presidential Cam
paign of 1904, and in "safe and sane"
states like Pennsylvania, the campaign
has been a very quiet one. In the doubt
ful states however the campaign has
been exceedingly liyely. New York, |
for instance, is yet considered uncer
tain. and for that state alone, for this
week, the National Committees had ar-!
ranged 4300 meetings, or an average of
twelve meetings for each county, each
night.
Secretaries flay and Taft and Senator
Knox have lately made excellent
speeches on National affairs; while
Jndge Parker haa been talking from his
poroh at Esopus, but his speeches seem
to be bnt a repetition of the fables told
him by the dreamers and millionares
who saironnd him. Parker has not
worn well, as a candidate. He gives
the impression that his grasp on public"
affairs is but feeble. Apparently he has
not known where or how to look for
facts. His financial arguments—those
concerning extravagance-are founded
principally on the imagination. He has
dealt in astonwhing calculations con
cerning the temporary excess of govern
mental expenses over receipts and has
complained that the official figures were
not available, when all that he has had
to do was to consult the financial pages
of any of the newspapers, where the
standing of the government is given
daily. On the Philippines he has been
sadly in error, taking his ideas from
wholly irresponsible sources and ignor
ing easily obtainable truth. He has
blundered on the pension question, and
he has progressed in his hostile attitude
toward the protective tariff.
There is no good reason why the Re
publicans should not support all their
nominees this year—National, State and
County.
A Republican meeting was held in
the Claytonia. school-house last night,
at which addressee were made by E. H.
Negley, Levi M. Wise, and W. C. Find
ley. _
Oae of the New York non-partisam
dailies forecasts Roosevelt's vote, (with
out New York) at 257, Parker's at 159,
leaving New York (89), Colorado, Dela
- ware, "Montana, Nuvnila and West
Virginia (21) in the doubtful column.
The usual Friday night meeting at
Republican headquarters filled the
rooms. Remarks were made by J. W.
Hutchison, E. H. Negley, Supt. Howard
Painter, Eli D. Robinson, T. J. Dodds
•nd W. C. Findley. Party enthusiasm
was strong.
Senator Scott says West Virginia is
nfe by 25,000.
The County Commissioners have sent
ont 11,500 sample ballots, and the Re
publican County Committee 6,000, go
that everybody can see in advance how
to mark a ballot, under the new form.
Pennsylvania will give Roosevelt
about 800,000 majority, and the Repub
licans will elect 39 of the 32 Congress
men.
Twenty-seven States will elect new
Governors on Tuesday. November 8,
and in twenty-three, Legislatures will
be chosen which will determine upon
that number of United States Senators.
The terms of thirty Senators expire on
March 4 next, but seven of the vacan
cies have already been filled. In this
State, the appointment of Philander C
Knox by Governor Pennypacker filled
the vacancy created by the death of M.
8. Quay, and there is little doubt that
the new Legislature will confirm the
appointment by continuing him in of
fice for six years longer.
There is eyery reason to believe that
as goes Pennsylvania, so will go the
Union.
Next Tuesday will see some practical
tests of voting machines; which may
. help to decide the vexed question of
their usefulness.
It is still believed that, unless he takes
himself too seriously, Tom Watson is
getting more fun out of the campaign
than any other candidate.
"Judge Parker's onslaught on Presi
dent Roosevelt and Chairman Cortwlyon
In regaM to campaign contributions
from trusts, coming almost simultane
ously with the Standard Oil Company's
official and public denial that it is not
interested in any man's campaign, has
bronght out the fact that President
Roosevelt personally asked an official to
not contribute to the aid of the Repnbli
can campaign in any state.
It also started the Republican Nation
al committee and some of President
Roosevelt's friends on an investigating
expedition, which has already yielded
som* results. These facts have been
learned I>y the Republican managers:
The Standard oil interests have con
tributed largely to the Democratic cam
paign for New York city.
The Standard oil interests in Indiana,
especially at Whiting, Mnncie and Ma
rion, have been working for the Demo
cratic ticket, and it is not denied by
Democratic committeemen in tliat state
that Standard oil contributions have
been made.
A report that the Standard oil inter
acts are deporting their known Repnbl<-
can employees from West Virginia is
being investigated."
DISPATCHES from Wyoming a day or
two ago. told how a flock of 2500 sheep
had been driven over a precipice and
killed by a band of cowboys, and added
that this was merely an incident in the
constant struggle between the "cattle
men" and the "sheep men," and that
the general public would do nothing but
"stand back and let the two big inter
ests fight the matter out."
It seems to be true, as the people of
the grazing country declare, that sheep
cannot be herded on the same ground;
bnt, surely, there should be some better |
way of adjusting their owners' differen- ■
ces than by letting them destroy each !
others' property at will. That simply '
B nonnts to a state of war, and the fact
tiat it is confined to a single common
wealth dees not lessen the gravity of
tie offense, while It detracts materially
from the dignity of tbe commonwealth
Which permits it to continue.

WAR NOTES.
On Wednesday and Thursday of last
week part of the Russian Baltic squad
ron pnt into the harbor of Vigo, on the
northwest coast of Spain, and into the
bay of Aro3a, and asked to stay
for fonr days for repairs and coal, which
request seems to have been granted by
the Spanish government
Adnyral Rojestvensky was promptly ;
interrogated, both by his government ,
and by newspaper correspondents, and ,
madt< the astonishing statement that
his fleet was attacked, that night ou the
North Sea, by Japanese torpedo boat.-,
and that some of bis ships were struck
by shots fired from them.
This raised a question of veracity be
tween the Russian officers and the Eng
lish fishermen, and the English govern
ment agreed to leave it to a commission
instituted under the Rules of the Hague
Tribunal— which put an end, for the
time being, to the English preparations
for war, though it does not settle the
matter.
The Russian asserticdk seem absurd,
and the chances are that the officers
started out on their long voyage by get
ing drank, just as their army officers
did in Mauchuria, and the case will
probably turn out one of too much
vodka instead of Jap torpedo boats.
The Jap government asserts that it
had no torpedo boats in the North Sea,
and that it is living up to its original
announcement to confine the war to
Eastern waters.
It will take some time to investigate
the matter, and in the meantime the
Russian officers will remain at Vigo and
the different European governments
will find out "where they are at."
There is little doubt but that the
lowering of of Russia will
eventually change the map of Europe.
Prussia or Germany, like Russia, is
anxious to secure an outlet on the Medi
terranean, and has been held back by
the Anstro-Raseian alliance; France
would like to recover Alsace and
Loraine; and the Austrian Empire will
probably disintegrate with the death of
the present Emperor, who is an old
man, and now that Russia is no longer
to be feared there will likely be some do
ings in Europe within the next decade.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hay have addressed a note to the
powers, suggesting the reassembling of
the Peace Congress for the purpose of
improving international law, particu
lary as to "contraband of war," and
other questions that have lately arisen.
In Manchuria, at the beginning of the
week, Gen. Kuropatkin had received
reinforcements to replace the 43,000
men, the guns and equipments he
acknowledges to have lost daring the
ten-days battle; better weather had set
in and he still had hopes of relieving
Port Arthur.
Both armies ♦ere facing each other,
in trenches, dug daring the nights and
hid in during the day, in some places
not 600 paces from those of tiie other
army.
The Japs seemed to be awaiting the
Rnssian attack, and biding their time.
They are better prepared for a winter
campaign, than are the Russians, and
besides this they know that the Siberian
railroad upon which the Russian army
depends for its existence will soon be
snowed under.
At Port Arthur the Japs are spas
modically continuing their bombard
ment, and were also approaching the
principal fortifications by parallels,
against which there is no defense.
FISHERS' TALE CONFIRMED.
The circumstances of the firing on the
North sea fishing fleet, as detailed by
Russian officers, closely resemble the
facta reported by the admiral of the
fishing fleet.
When abreast of the trawltra the
Rassian squadron was formed in two
divisions, the cruisers steaming east and
the battle ships west, the latter getting
among the fishing fleet and opening fire.
When nearly clear of the fishing craft,
which were heading toward the battle
ships, some Russian sheila flew over the
trawlers and struck cruisers, one of
which, the Aurora, was hit several
times, and some of her men were
wounded, including a priest, who died.
The transport Anatol apparently be
came tangled among the trawlers, which
she mistook for torpedo boats, and sig
naled for aid, thereby leading the offi
cers of the oattleships to believe the
trawlers were attacking the Anatol.
This, coupled with the appearance of
the two mysterious torpedo boats steam
ing toward the battleship, resulted in
the fatal cannonade.
THE export of over $3,000,000 in gold,
last, Saturday was the first that hah
taken place in a long time. It was
coincident with a report of another im
mense Russian loun. England has been
losing gold to the Continent and the
situation is one that is unusual, grow
ing largely out of the war in the East.
It is evident that Russia must soon have
more money, as it is impossible to draw
heavily on hor own gold reserves with
out a depreciation of the immense is
sues of paper in the empire. A call for
$170,000,000, as reported, will probably
be promptly met by the bankers of the
world, but it will result in some read
justments of the gold supply, dt which
American shipments are likely to be
the first. Money loans at lower rates
here than in an» great mart of the
world, in spite of the fact that stock
speculation for two weeks has averaged
over a million and a half shares a day
Until rates harden here the gold is like
ly to go where it is most wanted. Since
the war began this country has absorb
ed a considerable amount of both Rus
sian and Japanese bonds, mostly held
by the great insurance companies, and
it is likely that move will be taken
when offered. It is apparent, however,
that this country cannot be looked up
on as a very important source of supply,
and financiers are wondering just where
the money is going to be raised if the
war should continue a year longer. So
far France has taken most of the bonds,
but it is a question whether it will con
tinue to do so indefinitely.
A Surjirisc* Party.
On Saturday, October 29, Mr. anil
Mrs E. Newton Christy were very much
surprised when over one hundred rela
tives with a few other friends assembled
at their home Greece City. It was
Mrs. Christy's sixtieth birthday and
was also intended to celebrate their
fortieth wedding anniversary which oc
curea a few weeks earlier. A fine din

j Painter, Harvey Christy and closed with
j prayer by. Rev. Sloan,

1 dear old lady of over eighty-six years
down to the little child of only a few
mpnths.
Every one present seemed to thorough
ly enjoy the day.
These little parses from our usuil
raily employment surely make li e
Irighter and better. ONE PRESENT.

evening. Nov. 4, at 7:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Van Kirk, Conf. Sec will also

A musical program will be rendered.
All are invited.
Honorable Poverty.
There is testimony to a life of scrupu
lous honor in the Hews that the late
Robert E. Pattison, after « lifetime
spent in the discharge of public and pri
vate trusts, died a poor man. It is an
nounced that the property he left is in
cumbered, and a committee ot promi
nent Philadelphians has opened a sub
scription to discharge the indebtedness
and preserve the property for his fami
ly. . ,
That Governor Pattison could in the
positions which he held have accrued
great wealth if he had been willing to
subordinate his integrity to the dictates
of acquisitiveness is beyond dispute
That he did not do so may be exception
al to the professional politics of Penn
sylvania; but that fact makes the excep
tion no less to his credit. It is also true
that in the positions which he held he
could have laid up a fair competence
with strict integrity. It is stated that
he had done so;but this credit was involv
ed by others whom he trusted, and he
was endeavoring to discharge the bur
den put on him by the errors of others
when death overtook him.
The proposed subscription is certainly
the most modest and taugible recogni
tion that Philadelphia can make of its
citizen who held responsible power once
in the ci*y government and twice in the
State and made the exceptional record
of dying poor. —Dispatch.
A New Steel-Frame Car.
The Standard Steel Car Co., at its
works here has about completed an all
steel postal car, built on strictly Master
Car Builders' standards, and designed
to suit modern railroad conditions and
furthermore to give to the life of the
postal clerks and the mails in the cars
greater protection than has ever been
enjoyed before. It is an axiom in rail
road operation that the postal cars are
the surest marks for serious damage in
case of a wreck, and the killing or
maiming of clerks with the destruction
by fire or otherwise, of the mails, is re
ported with great frequency. It is to
overcome these conditions that the new
cars have been designed, and the rail
road postal representatives who have
been acquainted with the work at But
ler are greatly impressed with the re
sults.
The plans of the Standard company
do not stop with the building of postal
cars alone. Baggage and express earn,
which are liable to the sarna roas?h us
age between engines and heavy Pull
mats, are as easily coDStruetid, anil if
is considered but a matter of detail and
a little time until day coaches are built
all-steel quite as regularly as freight
cars are at present
From the steel freight car to tlie
high-speed steel passenger car is an evo
lution io which the same men who arc
pioneers in steel freight car building
have led. As the steel freight car has
proved itself practically indestructible
by fire and wreck, so the steel passenger
traiu is expected to turn ont.
The steel passenger equipment has tbe
advantage of the freight car, having
preceded it and taught the railroad
shops the methods adapted to the hand
ling of steel equipment in case of miuor
damage. The need of cars of this kind
has been apparent to railroad manage
ments and the general public for a long
time The construction of the cars now
bnilding at Butler is such that there i->
really little experiment in them. Cars
are now being built here for several of
the leading trunk lines, tbe Erie and
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
leading in the demand for them. The
first car to be sent out into actual
service will go to the Erie in less than
two weeks, complete in every particular
It is 63 feet long, and in outside appear
ance bears a very close resemblance to
the regular mail cars, but it is of all
metal construction /and will staud far
more shock and strain than any wooden
body could.
FOUK-HUNDRED THOUSAND people
rode on the forty-five trains of the New
York subway, last Saturday, and theie
was some kicking because the trains did
not make the ten miles from the Battery
to the Harlem in the promised fifteen
minutes.

Why You should visit the
World's Fair.
The principal reason why a visit
should be made to this greatest of Ex
positions is on account of its education
al value. A visit to the World's Fair is
in itself a trip around the world, for
fifty cents. the price of admission The
president of one of our greatest univers
ities has said, "To the bright student
the Exposition is worth a thousand col
lege lectures." The opportunity of a
lifetime is afforded in which to acquire,
by a few day's sojourn at the Fair, an
education which could not otherwise be
received. The World's Fair Grounds
cover over 1200 acres, being more than
twice as large as those of the World's
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
