CONVENTION CALL.
lb (he Republican Electors of Pennsylvania:
After consultation and correspondence with
the members of the Republican State Committee,
and by their direction, I hereby give notice that
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly
"chosen representatives, will meet Instate Con
vention at Ilarrisburg, Wednesday, August 19,
1891, at 10 o'clock A, M., for the purpose of plac
ing In nomination candidates for the offices of
Stale Treasurer and Auditor Oenerat, for the
nomination o etghtceneandldatesfor Delegates-at-Large
to the Constitutional Convention pro
vided for in the Act of Assembly approved June
19, 1891, and for the transaction of txtch other
bustnees as may be presented.
Notice is especially directed to the fact that, in
accordance with the provisions of the last men
tioned act, each Senatorial district is entitled to
a 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 nomination for dele
gates to said convention, the rules governing the
nomination of candidates for State Senator to
be applicable.
In th Is connection the Chairman desires to call
the attention of Jlepubltcan voters to the rccom
mendatlon of the State Convention of 1882, that
"they allow the greatest freedom in the general
participation in the primaries consistent ullh
the preservation of the party organization."
Wil. n. ANDREWS, Chairman.
COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETING
The members of the Republican County Com
mtttee elected at the primaries held on Satur
" day, August 1, 1891, are requested to meet at
Centenntal Hall, in the Borough of Pottsvllle,
y'on Tuesday, AugustK, atlO a.m., for the pur
pose of electing a County Chaltman and trans
act such other business as may be required.
ELIAS DAVIS,
Chairman County Convention.
August 4, 1891.
ONE REASON WHY.
The considerations urged to account
for the large immigration Into this
country aro numerous,aud not the least
Important is one seldom advanced;
the fact that the debt of many leading
foreign nations is increasing as that of
the United States steadily decreases.
The tabulated statemeut prepared by
the census bureau for the decade of
16S0 to 1S90 shows that the former has
increased more than two thousand
million dollars; the latter has decreased
half that amount. The fact that this
heavy increase of foreign indebtedness
is due largely to preparations for war
furnishes a further inducement to
, seek uland of peace and comparatively
jjjj small national expenditures.

debt of the various countries Illustrates
the comparative statement. The United
States debt decreased from $ 3S.33 to
$14.03. Great Britain's per capita debt
Is $S7.79; that of France, f 110.35;
Russia's is only $30.79. When the
county and stato debts are considered
the small comparative expenditure by
the people of this country more dis
tinctly appears; for the republic's
public debt an extraordinary ex
penditure not likely to bo Incurred
again after the payment of the present
Indebtedness will soon be extinguish
ed and leave only lor the moat part a
local debt.
Mckinley speaks.
' And there is another thing about
the Republican party: It was never
against its country or its flag. Not
for one minute of our thirty-five years
of existence have we ever been sus
pected of being against the govern
ment. And that cannot be said of any-
other party.
"And there is one thing more I
want to say of a protective tariff: It
has never pulled down; it has always
builded up, and for this reason, If for
none other, the protective tariff is the
true friend of every girl and boy Btrug'
gllng upward.
"Now they are declarins that wo
make only a little tin. What could
any one exppot, when the law protect
ing this industry only went Into op
eratlon the first of this month? The
wonder is that we are making it at all
"Just what they aro Baying now, my
friends, of the tin plate industry, they
said twenty years ago of the steel rail,
peatery, and glass, and cutlery manu
factures, and now these are among our
greatest Industries; wo lead the world
to-day in steel rails, and our plate glass
and pottery cannot be beat in tho
world.
"Thirty years of this policy has
given us the greatest government in
the world, and to-day we beat tho
world in manufactures, agriculture
and mining. When this protective
policy went Into efleot we were a small
nation. We are in the first rank now."

WHAT THE SGRIBBS SEE AND HEAR
A Young Man's Extraordinary
Esoapo From an Awful Fate.
Saved by an Engineers
Watchfulness.
A young man residing in the First ward
bad an exceedingly narrow cscapo from
death on tho Lohlgh Valloy railroad yes
terday morning. Ho works near Bany's
station and goes to the place every morning
on tho 5:4G passongor train. Ye3terday ho
was too lato to reach tho depot in time and
ran to tho Emorick street crossing to catch
tho train. The onginoer, Charles Price,
saw what tho young man Intended and, as
tho train was passing tho crossing at a
lively spood, ho motioned him not to at
tempt to jump on the train. Tho warning
was unhoedod. Tho young man made a
jump for tho front platform of tho passes
ger car next to the tank of tho engine. IIo
missed his footing, but held to the rail of
tho platform with a doath grip. The train
sped on, with the legs of tho foolish young
fellow swooping along tho rails about four
inches ahead of tho front whoels of tho car.
Prico, tho onginoer, reversed his engine es
soon as . possible, but did not succeed in
stopping tho train until it had run soma
distance. The stoppage was niado in tho
nlek of time, for at tho instant tho wheels
stopped revolving tho young follow
loosened his grasp on tho platform rail and
droppod before tho wbuols of tho car, o.
hsusted. Engineer Trlco lays It was one
of tho most remarkable oscap' in his OX'
perlenco.
Light at Last.
It is gratifying to see that tho
Valloy Railroad Company has
realized tho necessity of more, or,
somo light at tho local dopot.
Lehigh
at last
rathor,
It has
abandoned tho way-back gas light and has
replaced it with an arc incandescent light.
Very good, but tho company is still behind
the age. There should bo more light at the
north and west sides of tho dopot. This
placo is ono of tho moat dangerous in tho
town after dark.
Tho Association Meeting.
"Wo regretted our inability to attend tho
quarterly meeting of tho Schuylkill Press
Association at Treaiont on Tuesday. Sick
ness ulono kept us awtv.t from what wo had
counted on the pleasantost gathering of
the Association's existence. Tho West
End editors planned a good time for the
visitors and they succeeded in satisfying
thorn ail.
Down Went the Horse.
A horso fell into an old cess pool in the
alley at the rear of Robbins' row, noar tho
Lehigh Valloy railroad yesterday, and was
fished out after considerable work without
injury. Tho cess pool is ono that was in
uso by tho residents of Robbins' row before
Air. Robbins built tho out houses on tho
railroad tide of the property.
