After consultation and correspondence with
the members of the Republican Mate Committee,
and by their direction, I hereby give notice that
the Republican) of Pennsylvania, by their duty
chosen representatives, will meet in Mate Con
vention at Jlarrisburg, Wednesday, August 19,
1891, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of plac
ing in nomination candidates for the offices of
State Treasurer and Auditor General, o? the
nomination of eighteen candidates for Delegates-at-Large
to the Constitutional Convention pro
vldedfor in the Act of Assembly approved June
19, 1891, and for the transaction of such other
business as may be presented,
Notice is especially directed to the fact that, (n
accordance with the provisions of the last men
tioned act, each Senatorial district is entitled to
n representation of three delegates in said Con
stitutional Convention, two of whom only canbe
members of the majority party in said district.
The electors of each district are therefore re
quested to make proper nominations for dele
gates to said convention, the rules governing the
nomination of candidates Jor S'.atc Senator to
be applicable.
In this connection the Chairman desires to call
the attention of Republican voters to the recom
mendation of the Mate Convention of 18S2, that
"they allow the greatest freedom in the general
participation in the primaries consistent with
the preservation vf the party organitatton,"
Wil. JT. ANDREWS, Chairman.
PRINCELY PLEASURES.
The London Standard prints a letter
from a contributor who thinks that
I princes and princes' families should be
made to obey the lawllkeother people.
It seems that several members of the
family of the Prince of Wales disre
garded the law relative to fhocloso sea
son by fishing.
The family were holding what they
called a royal plonlc, and probably did
not suppose that royal privileges could
be restricted by law.
If things go on in this way much
longer the position of a prince will be
' of little advantage, and it certainly has
some discomforts.
If Albert 32 Jwnrd wp.rn.tiofc rUuCC ot
Wales there would no objection to an
occasional fcamo of Imccurette.
On the other hand, he might find It
more difllcult to borrow money than
he now does.

Aiiout threo months ago the Hen
AijD remarked the contrast between
the number of Pottsvlllo men selected
for jury duty and tho number selected
from Shenandoah. The editor of tho
Chronicle must have been enjoying a
sound sleep for he did not reply to the
remarks until last night. Ho shows
that out of 310 names last drawn, 64
nre thoso of Pottsvlllo men and Shen
andoah has 20 and adds that "Shen
andoah has no Tight to complain."
Shenandoah does not complain. It
protests. Tho people of Shenandoah
are not looking after jobs on Juries,
they simply want the editor of tho
Chronicle and his kind to understand
that they protest against tho counly
officials nursing a gang of Court House
suckers. There is no town in the
county that borders more closely upon
Buckfirdom than Pottsvlllo aud there
Is no county in tho Union that
tolerates petty suckers than Schuylkill.
When jurors are drawn Pottsvlllo is
always In the lead. According to tho
Chronicle? 8 flgureB Pottsville, with a
population of over 2,000 less than
Shenandoah, leads with the jurymen
by close upon 300 per cent. It may,
or may not surprise the Chronicle to
know that there are Pottsvlllo men
working in Pottsvlllo establishments
who do jury duty during the day aud
follow their regular vocation at nlcrht:
and, in a certain establishment of that
town, the workmen have an arrange
ment by which men take turns in
doing the work of each to enable the
filling of the. jury box. The jury sys
tem of Schuylkill county is rotten and
it Is surprising that the editor of the
Chronicle cannot smell it 'when it
it fumes directly beneath his nostrils.
Perhaps he is Buttering from a con
venient cold. Wo repeat that Potts
ville is the Suckerdom of Schuylkill
and some of its inhabitants are quite
prominent, loo.

THE PUBLIC DEBT
SECRETARY FOSTER'S REPORT
UNDER HIS NEW SYSTEM.
THE SURPLUS IS NOW $53,S53,SOS
No Ohango in tho Intoreat Bearing
Debt of tho aovornmont Tho
President Will Tnko His
Vacation To-morrow.
Hy National Press Association.
Washington, July a. Tho monthly
public debt statement has been Issued in
an cntlielynew form. It comblnoa both
tbe Secretary's statement of tho public
debt and the Treasurer's monthly state
ment ot assets nnd liabilities, heretofore
issued Beparatoly.
Comparison with the last monthly
statement and the statement issued July
1, 1890, shows an Increase in tho public
debt during the past mouth of about
$5,000,000, and a not reduction during
tho past flscal year of $22,000,000.
Tho surplus In tho Treasury to-day in
the new form of statemont is placed at
153,853,808, or about $5,000,000 less than
a month ago, with no change in tho in
terest bearing debt of the government
during tho past month. The bondod
dobt to-day is $010,529,120, made up in
round numbers of $500,000,000 4s, and
J30,500,000 4 1-2 per cent, bonds.
Secretary Fostor JCxplalns.
Secretary Foster gave out tho follow
ing statement explanatory of the changed
form of tho monthly debt statement and
the dally statement of cash in tho Treas
ury, which will hereafter bo Issued)
"lferotoforo tho manner and make-up
of tho monthly statemont required the
showing of an increase or decrease in the
public debt. Under this form it has
happened on several occasions that when
largo purchases of bonds were made the
statement followiug would show an in
crease of the public debt, wheu a reduc
tion had really been olloctod. This was
owing to tho fact that tho principal and
premium paid for bonds reduced the
cash on hand beyond the amount of
bonds actually redeemed,
."The Secretary hus concluded after
the statement of the debt from tho state
ment of the cash in the Treasury. Hero
after tho statement of the cash on hand
will show the net increase or decrease
from month to month nnd this statement
Will be a part of the form now adoptod.
"In making the net statement ot the
cas"h in tho Treasury tho figures will
plainly show the different kinds of
money iucludod In the total. Against
this total will be stated the cash liabili
ties. This part of tho now form will take
the place ot tho assets and liabilities
statement, heretoforo issued by the
Treasurer.
"In former debt 'statements ths no
crned interest and interest duo nnd un
paid have appeared as ourrent liabilities.
The items have beon eliminated. The
Secretary holds that if accrued Interest
may be charged as a liability against
cash, then with equal propriety accrued
salaries can bo so charged, or in like
manner the accrued liability of tho con
struction ot publlo buildings or of tho
improvement of rivers and harbors.
"The matured dobt item Is made up of
the remnant of tho bonds and other
forms ot ludehtuess remaining uupald
from Iho foundation of tho goverment.
It is assumed that less than 25 per cent,
of these will ever bo presented for pay
ment. Thoj- aro now, as herotoforo, car
ried on tho debt statement, but uot as
liability against cash."

tho new law In relation to tho payment
of pensions goes into effect. Instead of
