LAPORTE, PENNA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 189!), 'fillllTlMi PARSON; Brave Chaplain of the Manila Heroes Pays a Splendid Tribute to Barnett. TYPIOAL AMERICAN SOLDIER Though a Prohibitionist, He Will Support the Republican Nominee For State Treasurer, and Gives His Reasons Por Doing So. The "Fighting Parson" of the "Fighting Tenth" was a conspicuous figure among the brave Pennsylvanians who fought with Dewey in the Philip pines, and few men in the regiment could handle a gun better than he when occasion required, says the Phil adelphia Inquirer, Chaplain Joseph L. Hunter, of the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers, whose home is at James town, Pa., shares with tliisfamouscom mand in the glory that has come to them for their patriotic work. He says CHAPLAIN JOSEPH L. HI'NTER. nothing of his own services, but oth ers have told of his bravery, his self sacrificing labors in looking after the spiritual welfare of the regiment, and his eonstant and zealous attention to the sick, the wounded and the dying patriots who followed their country's Hag and fought gallantly for it in the far off Orient. But this "Fighting Parson," as he is familiarly known among the boys of the regiment, pays a splendid tribute to the manly character, the unflinch ing courage and the other soldierly qualities of Lieutenant Colonel James E. Barnett. who succeeded the lament ed Colonel Alexander Hawkins, In command of the regiment. A TYPICAL AMERICAN SOLDIER. "Those who know Lieutenant Col onel Barnett best." said Chaplain Hun ter, in chatting interestingly about his commanding officer, at the Hotel Wal ton. "respect him most and are filled with admiration of his noble qualities. He is a typical American soldier. He is a credit to his state and to his coun try. He fully deserves the praise and the plaudits that have been bestowed upon him. He is ti refined, educated and ever courteous gentleman. He be ing a son of a clergyman. I naturally lake a deep interest in his welfare. I have closely studied him and watch ed his development of character. He always exhibited remarkable coolness and self control while the regiment was under fire, was never excited nor rash, and In every way conducted him self to earn the respect and confidence of the men of the command. He is a strict disciplinarian. It is possible that at times some of the men did not thor oughly realize the importance of rigid adherence to the requirements of th*. regulations and the carrying out of official orders with exact compliance with instructions. I am convinced, however, that there Is not a man in the regiment who does not today ap preciate the fact that it was due to this determined purpose to maintain the standard of efficiency of he com mand in which the late Coloi el Haw kins took such pride, that the Tenth Pennsylvania ranked with the crack regiments at Luzon and made a record of which we ure all quite proud. "Barnett has great executive ability. He is a master of detail, a most desir able quality '.n a man to whom Hie care of a regiment is committed, under con ditions that frequently confronted us in the Philippines. AS COMMANDER OF CAVITE. "While Colonel Hawkins was down with what proved to be a fatal illne.is. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett was in command of all the troops in the dis trict of Cavite. and be filled this im portant post with courage and discre tion. "He displayed a tender side of bis nature in his solicitous concern for the sick and wounded. He saw that none of our boys who were in the gen eral hospital, away from the imrie'dt at care of the regiment's officers, lack ed anything that could be secured to comfort and cheer them in their dis tress. Delicacies were obtained and sent to these men. When too busy to go himself to the hospital he always commanded me to remember him to these unfortunates aud to renort at once as to their condition. \s t.tie re sult of lieutenant Colonel Barnett's interest friends at home raised a large hospital fund, and from this we were able to purchase many things that gavo health and strength to hundreds of out men when sick. None of our men when ill ever wanted for anything we could procure. "While we were at La Lome church, during the insurgent campaign. Lieu tenant Colonel BarnetL and I drove to Manila on a business trip. After an hour's visit to the hospital 1 returned to the meeting place to find that he ha<! suddenly started to the front. He had heard that the insurgents were making an attack, and he wanted to be there to meet them. Before the battle of Guiginto Lieutenant Colonel Barnett was in conference with Brigade Com mander General Hale. Meanwhile our regiment had advanced across the bridge and was quite a way ahead. Never thinking of danger, lie and I crossed the bridge together, and had gone but a short distance when a most terrific fire came apparently from al most. every direction. We jumped down the embankment of the railroad and started toward the front. Lieutenant Colonel Barnett crossed the embank ment to the right side, and the next tiling I saw of him was with one of the companies of our regiment, tearing across an open field to join the balance of the regiment in the thick of the fight, the whole outfit eager for bat tle and yelling like Apache Indians. One man was killed in this rush. When wc started in the Malolos cam paign we discarded all our surplus baggage. This was regarded as a se rious situation. The incident in which n Mauser bullet struck a Testament that Lieutenant Colonel Barnett car ried in his breast, pocket, and which possibly saved his life, has been fully described. A POPULAR CANDIDATE. "I was greatly pleased to learn upon our returning home that through Bar nett's nomination for state treasurer by the Republican convention the peo ple of Pennsylvania would have an op portunity in a peculiar manner to show their appreciation of the services of the soldiers of the Keystone State who served in the Philippines. We all have been made to fully recognize that the state and the nation wish 10 give due credit to the volunteers and the men in the regular service who have taken part in the operations <>i' the array and the navy in Hie present crisis in our country's history, in the hon oring of Roosevelt by his elevation to the governorship of New York the cit l/.ens of the Empire State accentuated in a special degree their admiration for the men who storme,. the heights a* San Juan. By the election of Barnett to the office of state treasurer the pa triotic people of Pennsylvania, irre speetive of former party affiliations, will bestow upon a gallant soldier n testimonial of their regard and af fection which cannot but be taken ns a compliment to every man who served 111 the Philippines with the peerless Dewey, and especially as a mark of esteem and love for all the brave sons of the Keystone State who partici pated in the memorable campaign in Luzon. "What sort of an official do I think Lieutenant Colonel Barnett will make, do you ask? None better. He has the ability to fill an office of far greater requirements and responsibilities than the state treasureship. He has the courage to do what is right, regardless of consequences, lie is the soul of honor, and the people of the common wealth can trust him implicitly. He has superior intellectual qualifications, a lawyer's training and instincts, and has an intimate acquaint a :ce with public men and affairs. "1 do not speak from a politician's standpoint; merely as a comrade and admirer. Personally, 1 am a Pro hibitionist. but my vote shall be cast for Lieutenant Colonel Burnett as an American citizen who feels that it is a proud privilege to be able to honor the men who in following their coun try's flag faced the dangers thqt be set all the brave hoys of the ~allant Tenth."

El kin is quite confident of great Repub lican majorities in Pennsylvania this fall. "The present state campaign," said Mr. Elkin. "is entirely different from that of last year, in thi't there is no evidence of factional opposition to the candidates on the Republican ticket, There is a splendid feeling prevailing among the Republicans throughout the state. They recognize the fact that the candidates on their ticket are men of exceptional ability, ami are popular and deserving of their support. The:'' is a spirit of patriotism abroad and of loyalty to the Republican party which means so much for the welfare of the state and i lie nation. Not ;t word can be saiil against the. character. integ rity. eapacitj oi patriotism of any man on the ticket. No one familiar with the situation \viU s.iy titat there is any doubt about (!) election of any one of them. The aim of the Republicans of I'ctilisvivaniit. therefore, will lie to make their majorities large as pos sible. The national campaign of 1 !)('•'» is already under way.

Business men are taking -I I een interest ia the cam paign. They are not anxious to in any way help the Hryamies by the vote of this fall so that the sllverltea shall be encouraged to enter the contest of next year with the idea that they have a chance of capturing the presi dency. Contrasted with the demoral ized and depressed condition of the commercial and manufacturing inter ests of the country jn iStMi. brought about under the iast Democratic ad ministration. the situation today, with business booming oil every hand, with our mills all running and in many places working overtime, our iron an I steel industries crowded with orders that in many cases are sufficient to keep them busy for two years to come, with wages being advanced and likely togo higher, is not calculated to tire sent Inspiring arguments for Republi cans to vote against tin ir party nomi nees.
