There are vital questions to be passed upon by the next Congress which make it important that every effort should be made to elect the Republican candidates. The Democrats, in every state, are bending all their energies to gain con trol of the national House of Represen tatives. A campaign book has been issued by the Democracy favoring a reduction of the war tax. This was done by the last Republican Congress. Said campaign book further advocates improvement of the arid lands of the west. The last Congress passing just snch a measure. Thus does Democracy endorse and advocate what has been done by the Republicans, furnishing a powerful argument for the election of the Republican Congressional candi dates in this district.

LABOR LAWS OF FORTY YEARS Sewing Women, Miners, Motormen, Slate Pickers, Children, All Classes of Bread Winners, Are Protected By Laws Passed By Republican Legis latures. From Our Own Correspondent. Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—One of the most important features of the pres ent campaign will be a showing of the part that the Republican party has played in the life of the workingman of Pennsylvania. It is a marvelous showing. The present reign of prosperity, shared alike by every toiler, whether it be in mill, forge, factory or on the farm, can be traced to the wise and beneficent working of national laws enacted alike for the protection of la bor and capital. The Republican par ty in the nation has ever been the staunch friend of the workingman. The Republican party in the state lias emphasized this by enacting laws cov ering a period of 35 years, for the com fort, convenience and protection of the working man and woman. There has been compiled within the past week a complete list of labor laws passed in Pennsylvania by Republican legislatures since the close of the Civil War that is one of the most remark able things of its kind in existence. Pennsylvania leads every state in the character of its labor legislation. Nearly 100 bills directly affecting the men, women and children of the state who earn their living by the sweat of their brows have been enacted in the past 35 years. WOMAN AND THE SEWING MA CHINE. At the close of the Civil War indus trial and commercial enterprises were in a more or less chaotic state. Thou sands of widows, mothers and daugh ters of soldiers were compelled to eek out a living as seamstresses and dress makers. One of the first laws passed by the legislature of 18G9 was an act to exempt sewing machines belonging to seamstresses from levy and sale on execution or distress for rent. At this time the great anthracite coal regions of the state were just be ginning their period of development. There were practically no laws look ing to the protection of human life in the mines, and it was a Republican legislature that took up this subject at this time, and during all of the suc ceeding years has passed laws whose object has been the protection of life and limb of the toilers in the darkness of the mine. On page 852 of the pamphlet laws of 1869 will be found one of the first min ing laws enacted, entitled "An Act for the Better Regulation and Ventilation of Mines, and for the Protection of the Lives of Miners in Schuylkill County." This was only the beginning. It was followed by a general law for the safety and health of persons employed in coal mines, passed in 1870. In the same year laws were passed for the protection of miners In various coun ties of the state. In 1872 an act for the better protec tion of the wages of mechanics, miners, laborers and others was passed, as well as a bill providing "For the Es tablishment of a Bureau of Statistics on the Subject of Labor and for Other Purposes." (P. L. 1872. page 59.) In all the years up to the present there have been numerous similar en actments. In 1872 one of the most im portant measures ever enacted into a law, the record of which can be found in the pamphlet laws for 1872. on page 1,175, was the act to relieve laborers, workingmen and Journeymen from certain prosecutions and indictments for conspiracy under the criminal laws of the commonwealth. This act has conserved the liberty of thousands of wage earners in Pennsylvania in the past 30 years. PROTECT INO BR E AD-WINNERS. It was the Republican party in the legislative session of 1874 that passed a law in relation to suits for wages, preventing stay of execution on judg ments obtained for SIOO or less. It was a Republican legislature that appropriated the first money to nid in the erection and maintenance of an anthracite hospital in Pennsylvania. This was in 1874. England, with all its boasted civili zation of centuries, is away behind Pennsylvania in the protection of women and children in their employ ment. South Carolina today is a blot on the map of the south because of its absence of laws prohibiting the employment of children, and its lax legislation regarding the employment of women in various industries. In 1878 one of the most stringent laws enacted by any legislature related to the employment of females in hotels, taverns, saloons and eating houses or other places for the sale of intoxicat ing and other drinks. It was a Penn sylvania Republican legislature that passed a law prohibiting female labor In and about the coal mines and manu factories thereof, and for the preserva tion of the health of female employes In manufacturing, mechanical and mercantile establishments. All through the years in which the Republican party has been in power in Pennsylvania it has endeavored to see that full and ample justice has been done by employers, whether iirrus, cor porations or Individuals, to thQ citizens of the state in their employ. It was at the Bession of 1878 that a law was pass ed fixing the standard weight of a bush el of bituminous coal. It was during the session of 1881 that the law was passed securing to operatives and la borers engaged in and about coal mines, manufactories of iron and steel and all other manufactories, the pay ment of their wages at regular Inter vals and In lawful money of the United States. REGULAR PAY DAYS. This is one of the most important laws ever enacted. Middle-aged men today remember the conditions that ex isted prior to the passage of this act. Employes, often of large concerns, were frequently depriveiVi'f their earn ings for from 30 to CO d™, often only paid in part and frequently with script, store orders or other alleged equiva lents of value. The passage of this law made compulsory the payment to every employe, every working man and woman, the wages due him or her In lawful money of the country and at stated intervals. Every field of labor has been covered by Republican laws enacted by Repub lican legislatures. The law limiting the hours of labor of conductors, driv tr- & 1 &• S. : C" S 1 -SZ• X: g_- g_- g." g.- g_- g_ gl- g_- g. l g. - g• CL -C: £ THERE IS NO WATCH 1 11/ For every day use like a good American I (f* \l/ one.

The legislature of that year struck the final blow at child labor in this state by prohibiting the employment of any child under the age of 12 years by any individual, firm or company, to do any work in any mill, manufactory or mine, or any work pertaining thereto. Going a step beyond the mere enact ment of laws protecting coal miners, the assembly of 1889 enacted the law compelling the examination of miners in the anthracite region for the pur pose of preventing the employment of incompetent persons in those mines. The factory law of the state which regulates the employment and provid ed for the safety of women and chil dren in mercantile industries and man ufacturing establishments, and to pro vide for the appointment of inspectors to enforce this law, became operative through the action of the legislature of 1889. ALL CLASSES PROTECTED. So the long line of beneficial laws might be continued, 'i no toiler in the tenement house, the woman in the store, the mechanic at the bench, the young woman at the cigar table, the worker in the mine, the puddler in the mill, all enjoy whatever of comfort, convenience and protection they have to the wisdom of Republican legisla tors and the efforts of Republican statesmen. It is understood that one of the bat tle cries of the Democracy this fall is to be the declaration that the Republi can party has done little or nothing for the working man. It is false, wretchedly false, as the Pamphlet Laws of Pennsylvania demonstrate in all the publications from 1865 to 1902. A Communication.

Welsh Brothers' celebrated Railroad Shows opened a four days engagement on Wednesday afternoon at Fourth and Chestnut streets, when they gave a splendid performance, which was attended by a large crowd. At the evening performance long before the hour for opening, there was an im mense crowd of many hundreds pur chasing tickets and eager to gain ad mission. Before the hour for the per formance to commence every seat, in. eluding the reserved seat section, was filled, and several hundred persons were required to stand. The manage ment did everything possible to seat the people, but the crowd was far be yond expectation, which proves that the show is very popular with the peo ple. Hie show carries its own splen did band, which furnishes good music throughout the performance, which is interesting refined in every partic ular. For over two hours there was a con tinuous exhibition of new and marvel ous features; the show also is much larger and hotter than ever. The pop ular prices of admission permit old and young to visit the show, which is e jual to many higher-priced aggrega tions.—"Daily News," Lebanon, Pa.

Modesty is woman's watchword. Whatever threatens her delicate sense of modesty, frightens her. For this reason .many a woman permits disease of the delicate womanly organs to become aggravated because she can not bring herself to submit to the or deal of unpleasant questionings,offen sive examinations, and obnoxious loc al treatments, which some physic ians find necessary. Doubtless thous ands of the women who have taken ail vantage of Dr. Pierce's offer of the free consultation by letter, have led to do so by the escape thus offered from a treatment repugnant to mod esty. Any sick woman may write to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.,iu perfect confidence; all letters being treated as strictly private and sacredly confi dential ; and all answers being sent in plain envelopes with no advertising or other printing upon them.

The attraction at the Opera House on Saturday evening is tint ever wel come comedy production "Hide Track ed." The principal figure in the piece is a tramp, through whose persistent efforts a mysterious crime is finally cleared up. The tram]) provokes a great deal of fun. He is constantly getting into trouble, hut in the end proves the truth of the old maxim that a noble heart oft beats under a ragged coat. In the second act the (ramp is side-tracked on flu- limited freight, and here an opportunity is offered for the display of ingenious mechanical effects. A full train of cars crosses the stage, and tins tramp scrambles out of a car while the train is in motion. There are four acts in the play, each one seeming funnier than the one pro ceeding, and the audience is kept eon t)nuallv laughing. Interwoven into the comedy, which is the main ele ment, is a pretty and pathetic little story. It tells of a mysterious crime, which is only solved by the persever ance of the good natured tramp. There is a snap and dash about the play that makes it"go" with the whole house. "The Little Mother." No church in the United States is so well known, or so much talked about, as "The Little Ohurch Around the Corner" which is situated in the mid dle section of New York City. Many of the prominent actors and act resses have been buried from this sacred edifice, and many of the poorer class of this great city have received supplies from this little church, that has kept "The Wolf from the door." "The Little Church Around the Cor ner" will be shown in the production of"The Little Mother" which will appear at the Opera House Tuesday evening, Sept 2:S. Fortune Favors a Texan.

" THE UNION PARTY ROW Attempt of Democracy to Steal the Party Opens Eyes of the People. It ever the so-called Union Party had any standing before the people of Pennsylvania it was irrevocably lost by the bare-faced attempt of the Demo crats, with Democratic money in its pocket and black-jacks and ax-handles In its hands, to capture the party at its Philadelphia convention. That this political hybrfd is dead is shown by the action of the principal men in its councils to organize an other party called the "Rallot Reform Party." Papers have been filed with this object in view. The same men who helped the Democracy in its at tempt to capture the Union Party con vention have signed their names to the papers of the "Ballot Reform Par ty." On this subject the Pittsburg Com mercial Gazette has this to say about the Union Party and its rowdy Dem ocratic members: "The riotous proceedings of the Union Party gathering at Philadel phia are a commentary on tho present lack of unity of an eastern sentiment that plasters itself with large reform labels. Riotous doings in political gatherings are never to be commend ed. but the disorder in this ease is a useful straw showing that real reform can't be headed off by machine work ers wearing a reform mask. The Union Party as an organization was financed a year ago from the same barrel that supplied the back-bone for the Democratic ticket. The net result of the operation was to wreck the Philadelphia Democratic organiza tion." "Undeterred by this boomerang, the same financial power this year again undertook to control the real as well as make-believe reform sentiment em braced in the Union organization. Hence there is a Union split that promises to make business for the courts and the lawyers. The first round ends in a knock down, figura tively and literally, of the Democratic barrel faction. It is probably at the same time the beginning of the end of the Union Party. "Whatever may happen to the Union factions in their contest In the courts, the differences revealed furnish proof that the tide of public sentiment runs strongly in the direction of a largely increased Republican majority as compared with last year." Quay, Penrose and the Ticket. Senators Quay and Penrose have an earnest sympathy for the men of the anthracite region. It was this fact, coupled with the receipt of nearly two thousand letter by the United States senators, that led them to visit Presi dent Baer, of the Reading Railroad, in the hope of bringing the trouble to a speedy termination. Thus far all ef forts have failed. Governor Stone took up the matter, but he, too, has failed to bring about any change in existing conditions. Miners and operators seem determined to grant no conces sions and the settlement of the strike now seems a long way off. THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS The Convention at Erie This Week anrt Some of Its Novel Features. The State League of Republican Clubs, which is holding its annual convention in Erie this week, is one of the most unusual gatherings of its kind ever assembled within the bor ders of the state. The attendance is larger, as indicated by the number of special trains engaged than ever be fore in the history of the league. The enthusiasm is greater because of the novelties that have been introduced into the campaign. Perhaps the most striking of these is a great ball marked with Pennsyl vania's record of Republican patriot ism and carrying the pictures of Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, Judge Pennypacker and the Republi can candidates of this year, which is being taken to Erie on a special car and from there is to be rolled back wards across the state to Philadel phia. The idea, which was evolved from the fertile brain of a couple of Philadelphia Republicans, Joseph M. Huston and J. Hampton Moore, city treasurer of Philadelphia, is that at the border of each county a number of Republicans representing that coun ty shall take the ball in charge, roll it along the highways to the borders of the adjoining county, where it will in turn pass into other hands, and so on through the state. It is expected that this novel spec tacle will attract thousands to the line of the ball's progress and excite universal enthusiasm among the Re publicans of the state.
