"ETERNAL VIGILANCE: IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY."
LAPORTE, PENNA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1899.
PRESIDENT M'KINI.E'Y^
"I am glad to participate with the
families, friends and fellow citizens ot
the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers in
this glad reunion. You have earned
the plaudits not alone of the people of
Pennsylvania, but ot the whole nation.
You made secure and permanent the
victory of Dewey. You added new
glory to the American arms. Every
one of the noble men, of the regulars
or volunteers, soldiers or seamen, who
thus signally served their country in
its extremity (remained in the service
after the expiration of their period of
their enlistment) deserves the special
recognition of congress, and it will be
to me an unfeigned pleasure to recom
mend for each man a special medal of
honor. The government to which you
gave your love and loyalty welcomes
you to your homos. With no blot or
stain upon your record, the story of
your unselfish service to country and
to civilization will be to the men who
take your places at the front and on
the firing line, and to future genera
tions, an example of patriotism and an
Inspiration to duty."—President Mc-
Kinley to Lieut. Col. Barnett and his
comrades of the Tenth Pennsylvania
volunteers, at Pittsburg.
ITlll! LIE
Stalwart Republican Editors in the
Pennsylvania Campaign,
HOT SHOT FOR THE ENEMY.
They Lead the Advance For the Battle
of the Ballots on Tuesday,
November 7.
The control of the»Democratic party,
in the national and state organizations,
says the Citizen Press, of Franklin, Pa.,
is in the hands of the disreputable and
anarchistic element, which is placing
the honest, intelligent and patriotic
Democrats in a false position, so long
as they silently permit their names to
be used as the supports of the plaforms
erected and the policy expressed by the
Altgelds, Bryans and other "states
men" who assume to speak for the par
ty. However, one by one of the here
tofore prominent Democrats are plac
ing themselves on record as opposed to
the copperheadism which is manifest
ed by the rabid leaders of the party
and will emphasize their protests by
voting the Republican ticket in No
vember, hoping by such action to rele
gate to the rear the wild evo repudia
tlonists now in control, and thereby
save the party organization for the
future. This course seems to be the
only one open for them to pursue at
this time and maintain their self re
spect.
Ex-Governor Pattison. of this state,
is the latest to repudiate the policy lai'l
down for the government of the party
by Altgeld and Bryan, points out that
patriotism is higher than party. "My
duty as an American citizen," says he.
"commands my support of the country's
president at this juncture. When the
president said in his Pittsburg speech
that the Philippines were just as much
American soil as were Texas and Alaska
he spoke the truth. The islands are
ours by title of treaty, and we have no
title to Louisiana or Alaska except
that confirmed by treaty. As they are
ours, we are bound to see them paci
fied, to set up law and order in their
midst."
This is the solemn fact, and people
who throw obstacles In the way of the
pacification of the Philippines are aid
ing and abetting the rebellion, and
those Democrats who are of the same
opinion should show their patriotism
by voting the Republican ticket this
fall. It is the only way to male them
selves effective. Votes count.
A UEPI'BLICAN YEAR.
"This ought to be an easy year for
Republican success. It does not re
quire oral or written argument to in
duce men to vote the Republican
ticket." says the Everett (Pa.) Press.
"Argument and appeals fall on listless
ears in the faee of well known facts.
When free traders cry out that the
tariff robs you, the laborer answers
with a shrug. 'Well, under your free
trade we had no work and nothing of
which to be robbed. Now, under pro
tection, work is plenty, wages are
good.orat leastgood incomparison with
Democratic times, and we have plenty
to eat. clothes to wear, and can send
our children to school.' The tramp
days of Democratic ascendency are
over. When they tell you that free
silver will bring greater prosperity, the
answer Is, well let well enough alone;
you have fooled us already too often
to our sorrow; we will want more than
theories now to Induce us to leave the
party under whoao sway we have re-
BECRETARY OF STATIC HAY.
"It is the duty of every Republican,
no matter in what state he may live,
togo to the polls next month and sup
port the nominees of his party, and by
so doing assist in bringing about a
sweeping Republican triumph through
out the country. Nothing could be
more gratifying to the Republican na
tional administration and nothing
could give more encouragement to the
president in carrying out the poli
cies he has outlined. Enemies of the
country and the political opponents of
our party would rejoice over a fall
ing off of the Republican vote this fall.
No more patriotic duty can lie perform
ed by Republican citizens than going
to the polls and casting a straight Re
publican ballot and by getting their
neighbors to do likewise. Next year's
presidential contest is already under
way. Republicans should be 011 the
alert." —Secretary of State Hay, in re
cent interview.
ceiven ana are enjoying the present
good things. No Mr. Democracy for
us."
FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.
"The American farmers should be
pretty well satisfied with the new
tariff law," remarks the Wilkesbarre
Times. "Here is the official record of
the exportation of leading farm pro
ducts in the last year of the Dingley
law, compared with those of the last
year of the Wilson law:

DON'T FORGET THE DATE.

says the Franklin (Pa.) Citizen-Press.

THE STATE ISSUES
A Good Man to Administer the Office of
State Treasurer.
"Republicans are not afraid to take
up the stute issues or to discuss the
necessity for Governor Stone's action
in cutting down the most liberal item
in the budget so as to make expendi
tures in income balance each other,"
says the Wilkesbarre Times. "We have
already been too liberal at the expense
of the state treasury, and if the action
of the governor will draw attention to
this subject he will have performed
a public service. Money gotten by in
direct taxation is apt to be lavishly
spent, and we know something 01' this
lavish expenditure by many of the
school boards and townships in our
own county.
"Nor are we afraid to discuss the
management of the treasurer's office.
Under the new laws there Is no pos
sibility of wrong doing, and themethod
of depositor} - , together with the pay
ment of interest to be turned into the
treasury, makes everything so plain
that only a reputable business man
Is required for the position of cus
todian. We have such a man in Lieu
tenant Colonel Barnett. the Republican
candidate, who besides possessing all
qualifications named is all right on the
protective system, an advocate of
sound money and a supporter of the
McKinley administration. This is the
man for the times, and the people of
Pennsylvania will undoubtedly say so
on the 7th of November."
Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, was
shown much attention during his re
cent visit to Pennsylvania. This dis
tinguished prelate is n staunch Repub
lican. in an address which he made at
the banquet of the Marquette club, of
Chicago, given in honor of President
McKinley on bis trip west, in respond
ing to the toast "The American Repub
lic," Archbishop Ireland, among other
things, said:
"The American republic is the best
ftJrm of organized democracy revealed
in humanity's history: as such she
claims homage from her own citizens;
as such she draws to herself the at
tention of the world.
"And surely there has been in Amer
ica no lowering of the highest stand
ard of patriotism. Where is the coun
try at whose call for heroes citizens

Bess of self and in such numbers rally

SECRETARY OF WAR ROOT.
''Republicanism this year means, as
it has ever meant, loyalty to our coun
try. belief in the inviolability of pub
lic faith, an unfailing adherence to
honest government and honest money,
and an undying devotion to the honor
and in' l4 'rit.v of the flag, wherever it
floats,' cvrried by our soldiers or sail
ors on land or sea This year all these
qualities are accentuated in a marked
degree, and the Republican who fails
togo to the polls and cast a stalwart
Republican ballot will ever regret la.tv
ing failed to take advantage of one of
the grandest opportunities of his life
to show his devotion to and practical
and timely allegiance to the part>,
which means so much to the continue-';
welfare of our people. The greater the
Republican vote this fall the greater
will be tiie incentive to Republican
leaders to prepare for the great nation

Harrisburg. Oct. 17. Make a note of
the date—Election day, Tuesday, No

All good Republicans will bear this
in mind. This is going to be a great
year In national politics. The result
of the elections in the several states
next month will be watched not only
by the people of the I'nited States, bill
by the nations of the world. The issue
nf the foreign policy of the McKinlev
administration is inseparably connected
with thecanvass in every state in which
there is to be an election, and the re
turns will be watched and reviewed
with particular reference to their bear
ing upon the national administration.
Nothing that has occured in politics
since the last presidential election has
created as much talk as the proclama
tion of Aguinaldo to his followers, in
which he said:
"In America there is a great par
ty that insists upon the govern
ment recognizing Filipino inde
pendence. We must show gratitude
and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should
pray to God that the great Demo
cratic party may win the next pres
idential election."
This declaration from the ringleader
of the insurgents has attracted wide
spread attention, and Democrats who
are loyal to their government are dis
gusted with the position in which their
leaders have placed them and their
party. They will refuse to vote the
Democratic ticket this fall.
There is every reason why every
Republican should goto the polls ou

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.—The tour of
Colonel Harnett, the Republican nomi
nee for state treasurer, has been a
series of popular demonstrations of en
thusiasm, and as he proceeds in his
canvass the meetings get larger and
the ovntions more enthusiastic. Many
of the scenes witnessed in Roosevelt's
whirlwind campaign for governor in
the Empire state are being repeated
here. The people, regardless of party,
are turning out to receive the young
soldier fresh from the Philippines, and
all indications are that many of them
will disregard politics when they vote
next month and Democrats and Repub
licans alike will honor him with then
ballots. Colonel Harnett is not a spec
tacular orator. He does not play to
the galleries, but in a straightforward,
matter of fact way he discusses the
issues and tells the people just what
he will do in the event of his election.
