Dr. Swarrow, independent candidate |
for governor on the “Thou Shalt Not |
Steal” platform, in a Philadelphia in-
terview charges that two state officials
had made out bills for lumber used in |
remodeling Grace church, Harrisburg.
at the rate of $55 per thousand feet,
while according to the dealer who sup-
plied the lumber the actual charge was
$24 per thosand feet. Dr. Swallow far-
ther states that he called the attention |
of the attorney general to the matter,
but without avail. The charges are
specifically made, and they come from
a responsible source. It remains for
the state administration to show itself
equally mindful. of its obligations to |
the people by bringing the subjects |
before the courts, whose province it is
to investigate charges of such a grave
nature. — Pittsburg Post.
We heartily endor=e the Sollowing
from the York Dispatch:
the private soldier in the army of the
United States, $13 per month, is very
small. Some states. recognizing this
fact, have been liberal with their vol-
unteers. The small state of YVermont
gives every volunteer soldier from the
state $7 per month out of the state
treasury as long as he remains in the
service. Maine pays each volunteer
$25 cash when he is accepted and mus-
tered into the service. The rich and
great state of Pennsylvania has made
no provision for her volunteers. Un-
fortunately for our state, the extrava-
gance of our legislature has left the
state treasury in such a condition that
we cannot be liberal with our soldiers
if we want to. It is an unfortunate
and humiliating position to be in, but
it is the fact all the same. Rightly and
honestly governed, instead of being
robbed by spoilsmen, Pennsylvania
ought to be in a position to set a fine
example of liberality to the breve men
who have gone out of her borders in the
defense of the nation and its flag.”
The Hunt for an Issue.
Pittsburg Times.
The movement of the Democrats in
this State thus far shows that they are
beginning to seriously realiZe the
necessity of creeping out ef the free
silver hole into which they so incauti-
an

als and suddenly precipitated them-
selves in 1896. "It is rather curious that
this State, which was one of the last to
jump from the frying pan of free trade
into the fire of free silver, and which
presented the spectacle of adopting two
diametrically opposite platforms onthe
currency question during the same
summer, should have clung to the sil-
ver theory with the greatest tenacity
among Democratic organizations of the
East. But it is plainly evident now
that even its present leaders seu that it
is practically a dead issue, and will
never do for the fighting of another
campaign; and they are gladly avail-
ing themselves of the excuse that the
times demand that this fall’s campaign
should be fought on State issues only,
to drop it, or to at least so minimize it
that they will have little trouble in
ignoring it hereafter.
But while they may get along well
enough in this way in a State cam-
paign, they recognize that it is time to
be preparing for the next Presidential
election. . They feel that they are ex-
pected at this time to disclose more or
less the reasons why they will be ask-
ing the people for their votes two years

| QUAY AND THE PRESIDENT.
| iC
' Opinion of a Leading Republican
Newspaper of Pittsburg.
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
Since the silver coinage amendment
to the war revenue bill merely concern--
ed the public welfare, it is not, surpris-
ing that Senators Quay and Penrose
paid no attention to it whatever, but
| Senator Quay was not so heedless, and
' made such arrangements as to give his
| support to this Democratic-Populistic
proposition. When Senator Morgan's
| name was called he said; “I am paired
with the Senior Scnator from Pennsyl-
vania (Mr. Quay).
if he was present he would vote ‘yea’
I, therefore, feel
Rll
{on this proposition.
at liberty to vote, and I vote ‘yea.
Thus while Senator Quay was at Har-
| risburg nominating his candidate for
Governor he had arranged to cast a vote
at Washington in aid of Democratic-
| Populistic opposition to the financial
policy of the Republican party.
We have, therefore, this strange situ-
ation of affairs presented to the Repub-
| lican voters of Pennsylvania. Senator
Quay in State affairs appeals to party
support on the score of party obliga-
{ tion to support the national Adminis-
tration. At Washinton he allies him-
self with the Democratic opposition in
waging war upon the Administration.
He voted with the, Democrats on the
war issue, joining in the bolt organized
by personal foes of President McKin-
ley, by means of which the Turpie
amendment was adopted. The Senate
was forced to recede from this amend-
ment by the resolute attitude of the
House, but not until Congressman
Stone had distinguished himself by try-
ing to organize a similar bolt in the
House. And what was this Turpie
amendment ? A recognition of the
Cuban Junta as a regular and legiti-
mately constituted government ,so that
they could pour out bonds and paper
money constituting a lien upon Cuba
which our Government would have to
recognize, oppressing the people of that
unhappy island within unnecessary
burden of debt, and subjecting the con-
duet of war to all sorts of complica-
tions and embarrassments by putting
this country in an auxiliary and subor-
dinate attitude with regard to to the
insurgents.
The Quay alliance with the Demo-
crats on the silver issue seems also to
be founded upon personal hostility to
President McKinley.
party was defeated on that issue at the
Presidential election, and it is revived
now as a means oft vexing and harass-
ing the Administration. This gave
‘Senator Quay his first opportunity of
striking at the Administration since
his wishes were disregarded in the ap-
pointment of Postmaster General
Smith, and he seized the occasion in a
characteristic way, avoiding a record

of his vote, but practically dipoiting
it on the Democratic side.
We should like to know with what
reason can this man invoke party obli-
gation in the State campaign while re-
pudiating all party obligation at Wash-
ington? Surely there must be some
reciprocity of obligation. And if Sena-
tor Quay feels free to pursue the course
he does at Washington, every voter is
equally free to make his vote the ex-
pression of his personal sentiments.
Senator Quay’s course is such that a
majority for his {icket might well be
regarded as an approval of his attitude
of hostility toward the national Admin-
istration.
Absurd Spanish Fears.
Pittsburg Times.
It is reported in the Times's dispatch-
es this morning that the inhabitants of
Caimanera, on the bay of Guantanamo,
in anticipation of the capture of the
place by the United States forces are
preparing to burn the town and to flee
for safety to the mountains. 1lncidents
of this sort lead us to pity many of the
Spanish people. In their ignorance,
and judging of our methods by their
own, there are hundreds of thousands
of them who believe that if they fall
into our hands they will be barbarous-
ly treated and will be the victims of all
the cruelty characteristic of mediaeval
warfare. This has been manifested in
several instances. Many of the prison-
ers we have captured have shown signs
of expecting instant death or torture,
while passengers on prize steamers
have frequently with difficulty been re-
strained from throwing themselves into
the sea to escape the dreadful fate that
they supposed was in store for them.
These ideas of our ferocity and cruel-
ty seem to be purposely fomented by
those in authority, as witness the proc-
lamation of the bishop of Manila just
previous to the advent of Dewey in that
port, in which he drew a lurid picture
of the rapine and bloodshed which
would follow a capture by our forces.
Possessed of these erroneous ideas with
regard to us, they are really to be pit-
ied; for, added to the actual sufferings
of war, is the terribly disquieting ap-
prehension that they are liable to fall
into the power of a race as vindictive |
and merciless as their own. As there |
is no diffusion of intelligence in Spain
or her dependencies such as obtains in
this country, there is no hope that their
| minds will be disabused of these im-
| pressions except by experience.
When
they do learn the real truth a good deal
of their present fear and hatred is like- |
ly to be changed to admiration.
And This Is No Joke.
A Stoystown correspondent to the |
Somerset Standard reels off the follow- |
ing nugget of amusement and good, |
hard sense:
“During the civil war a certain lieu- |
tenant hailing from the southern part
of Somerset county became more anx-
ious to return to the bosom of his fam-
ily than he was to brave rebel bullets. |
Ilis health stubbornly retused to fail
and he was at a loss to know what ex-
cuse to offer so that his resignation |
might be accepted. After some days |
spent in thought, he sent his resigna- |
1 St. Louis Globe Democrat.
tion to the colonel of his regiment and |
stated that his reason for asking to be |
discharged from the service was on
‘akount of inkomptency.’ If some of
the dudes and striplings who have
been given commissions in the volun- |
teer army. lately organized for service |
in the war with Spain, would resign for |
the same reason it would remove some |
expensive ornaments from‘Uncle Sam's’
payroll and add greatly to the efficien- |
cy of the army.”
Effective Shooting.
Pittsburg Times.
Admiral Dewey says that one of the
principal requisites of an effective navy
is good shooting. For this purpose
there must ba good guns and skillful
gunners. He leaves us to infer that
while heavy armor and other appliances
may be important, they are of second-
ary consideration. Thathe is right was
shown conclusively by his own experi-
ence. With the same guns and gun-
ners he could have dealt with the
Spanish fleet just as successfully had
he had only wooden ships, since no
shots seemed to have reached him that
would have done serious damage to the
hulls of any ships capable of carrying
guns. We have many good ships whose
appliances for defense are all that could
be desired, but it is in our power of
offense that we have shown ourselves
pre-eminent. None of ourheavy armor |
plates, turrets or barbettes have been
put to the test.
Happily we are becoming more pro- | |
{ them.
hands of our sailors heavy guns are in-
struments of precision. We have done
a vast deal of bombarding since the
war began, and apparently to little
purpose as yet,since,with the exception
of Cavite on the Philippines and Camp
McCalla at Guantanamo, we have oc-
cupied no territory ; but even ¥# these
operations had not destroyed fortifica-
tions and disabled guns which can ney-
er be replaced, they have afforded our
gunners excellent practice and brought
them still nearer to perfection. No
gunners in any navy of the world have
had such opportunities of education as
have been theirs during the past two
months.
How the Army is Organized.
Johnstown Tribune.
The manner of organization of the
Army is a matter of which the Ameri-
can people in general know little—large
ly due, perhaps, to the smallness of our
standing forces—and the terms “corps,”
“division,” and “brigade” are scarcely
more than so much Greek, to the gen- :
eration that has grown up since the
Civil War, especially. It may be in
place to state, therefore, that the largest
distinct organization in the United
States Army is known as a corps. Of
these it has been determined there
shall be seven in the present war, num-
bered from one up. Each corps will be
made up of three divisions, or twenty-
one divisions in all, these also number-
ed. Each division is to be made up, in
turn, of not less than three brigades,
making sixty-three brigades in the
seven corps. A brigade is composed of
two or more regiments, whether artil-
Jery, cavalry, infantry, or mixed. The
regiments of infantry, in which Johns-
town’s soldiers are enlisted, are to be
| made up of twelve companies of one
"hundred and six men apiece, each four
companies forming a battalion. Bri-
| gades and regiments, as well as battal-
| ions, also go by numbers, and the com-
panies by the letters of the alphabet.
The commanding officers, to begin at
the head, are: Major Generals for the
corps and divisions; Brigadier Gener-
for the brigades, and, nearly
every one knows, Colonels for the regi-
ments, and Captains for the companies.

Gallantry of Gomez’s Officers.
Gen. Gomez tells of an action of the
officers of his staff which shows their
gallantry. While a detachment of Cu-
bans was making an attack on a forti-
fied town, they encountered a party of
Spanish ladies who had been out driv-
ing and had faited to get back into the
town when the Cubans attacked ir.
They were taken prisoners, and one of
i them proved to be a relative of the

The Word of a British Consul.
Portland Daily Press.
President Horace Anderson, of the
Cumberland club, has received a letter
from Capt. Frank Wildes, commanding
the Boston, acknowledging the cable-
gram from the club congratulating him
on the victory of Manila. - The captain
enclosed a translation of the proclama-
tion issued by the governor of Manila
that characterized the Yankees as bar-
barians, who, if they took the city.
would kill and mutilate the inhabitants
and would subject the women to all
manner of indignities. A prominent
woman of Manila, accompanied by a
delegation of Manila women, called on
the English consul general and asked
him if the proclamation stated the
i facts.
“Madame,” said the consul, ‘let me
