Think what the public will have to endure when the promoters of tbo new dam begin, if they ever reach that stage, writing their reminiscences of this now momentous question. A Texas farmer killed himself be cause his crop was so big he had no place to store it. Mark down one in stance in which suicide was a hi'ii. on the evo of prosperous times. Wuatkvkie is the status of the Spaniards in the Philippines, one thing is certain, and that is the con vincing demonstration of Spanish nntltness to rule over dependent na tions. Tine foreigners are giving the mine owners of the Ha.leton region con siderable trouble, and there is said to he a movement inaugurated having for its aim the removal of many of these obstreperous foreigners from those mines. It is reported from Tottsville that, private defectives will be employed at the Republican county convention for the purpose of arresting those who nil'er as well uh those who receive bribes. What a harvest these detec tives would have reaped had they been on hand at the Democratic con vention. Wk are in receipt of a paper known as "The New York Voice," profess edly a journal published in the in terest of temperance, but in reality a most intemperate publication. It is apparently interested in tho contest now being made by Dr. Swallow, and tho paper is sent broadcast through out the state. According to an article published in this paper, there is no crime that Senator (Juay is not guilty of, going so far as to charge him with murder. Tho writer is both cowardly and untruthful, and the senior Senator should lose no time in arraying tho Voice scribbler before the bars of justice and there , make him prove his assertions or stand the consequences. OUR esteemed and valuable con temporary, the Miners1 Journal, is working under orders with a persist ency that would be commendable were the cause for which it labors more just to the Kepublicau party of Schuylkill. N'ot satisfied with foster ing upon the party a Congressional candidate in whom the people have little reliance, and whom nine-tenths of the party voters will acknowledge is not "tho man of the hour;" who threw to the winds his past convic tions on the financial question for the sake of office, in the convention of 189(1, and-at the fjrst opportunity in Congress ddclared hiuis'elf indirect opposition to tho financial platform' of the Republican party; in view of all this, tlie Journal, from the tone of its editorial of yesterday, has re ceived further orders to "put the knife" to one of tho most popular candidates that will appear before the convention, Hon, H. II. Koch, who will add dignity to the ticket, where the Journal's "favorite candi date" will not. There 1h no other in ference to betaken from tho Journal's article commenting upon the dinner at Dooner's, and it is not necessary to read between tho lines to discern the "milk hi the cocoanut."

Major Webb C Ilnyes, son of the late 1'ieslilent Iluym, who Is said to In1 the only volunteer ollleer that sereil In both the Cuban and I'm tn Mean campaigns, and who Is accompanying President McKlnley on his present trip, has proposed a plan to the chief executive looking toward the reorganization of the national guard under military law. The plan provides that the president shall appoint an adjutant general for each state, that as many bodies of mil itary shall bo raised In each state as circumstances requite, nnd thnt all of ficers of such in i 1 1 1 1 ii shall he nominated by the governors of the various states. They would the be under the direct control of the national military, nnd much difficulty expeiieneed when the guard was culled Into service for the Spanish war would be obviated. Major Hayes said lie disliked to discuss the matter now, for the plan was still In an embryotlc state, and lie did not like to go on record until some of the details are worked out. Major Hayes, when asked what he thought of tlie charges of starvation In tlie regiments at the front, said: "Look at me; do I looked starved? I lived on the same rutions ns tlie sol diers, and have grown fleshy on thnt fare. The government purchased boun tifully of all needed supplies. There was some mismanagement, It Is impossible to deny, but Investigation will show it a case of cooks and homesickness' that crippled the army and packed the hos pitals."

Beeman, tho wealthy chew ing gum manufacturer, was arrested yesterday. On Sunday Chief of To lice Connor received from the chief of police of Uuffalo several letters picked up In the streets of Buffalo. All were alike, and were written In a wonian'9 hand. Each was addressed to "Dear Dd" and was signed "Pearl." The let ter was very tender, as though the two were very dear to eacli other, and ex pressed sorrow that she was not able to meet him In Buffalo and was com pelled to go to Wheeling, W. Va. Being out of money while In Cleveland, "Pearl" wrote, she had been compelled to imwn her solitaire diamond ring. She had asked for only $16.50 on It, whereas she "mlcht easily have ob tained $75." "IVuil" begged forgive ness and enclosed the pawn ticket, nnd requested "Dear Ned" to redeem the ring. Tho pawn check was of the reg ulation kind, und had ostensibly been given by "Julius W. Beeman, pawn broker, Beekman block, Cleveland, O." The Cleveland police located Beeman at once In the Beekman block, and upon inquiry learned that he represent ed himself to be tho agent of a medi cal company. Ho was receiving a great many letters fiom Buffalo. Beeman re fused to honor the pav,i check present ed by a detective, declaring that he did not run a pawn shop, nnd that some on? must have played a joke on him, However, he was arrested, tho police brllf-vlns that lie was confining his operations to the mall. A number of the "Dear Ed" letters and pawn checks made out for "Pearl's" ring wero found In his waste paper basket. How, many tetters from Buffalo containing the pawn checks and remittances of $1C.M that Beeman received the police de cline to state, even If they know. It Is presumed that a considerable number of the letters wore dropped on the streets of Buffalo. AN EXPENSIVE GOVERNMENT. Samoa Mny Ho lllvlilcd Hotwoon Un do sunn, KmuIiiiuI anil fiiii-inaiiy. Washington, Aug. 31. The state de- partment lias not yet been officially ad vised of the reported death of King Mnlletoa of Samoa, and In all likeli hood must remain In ofllclal Ignorance of tho event for some time to come, owing to the slow means of communi cation at the disposal of tho depart ment. It Is the generaf Impression here that the death of the King will result In the overthrow of the present form of government of tho Islands, maintained ns ft Is by tho Joint action of the United States, Great Britain and Germany. Of- flclal reports to the state department show that this government Is the most expensive and unsatisfactory of any In the world, having regard to me popu lation of tlie Sainoan group. In the capital city, Apia, there is maintained a triparto municipal government at vast proportionate expense, while the reports show that 32 rate payers are obliged to bear tho entire cost. For porno years back the existing arrange ment for the government of the ha moan group has been .satisfactory to nono of the three governments, yet It has been continued for the reason that nothing better could be suggested that would be acceptable to the three na tions. Now there aro Indications that at least one of the parties Is coming around to what was a favorite plan of settlement of tho Btate department, namely, a distribution of the present triparto government nnd an absolute division of the Islands of the group be tween tho United States, Groat Brit ain and Germany.

Ponce Commissioners to Ho Nnmcil by the Cabinet Today. Madrid, Aug. 31. Sonor Sagasta had a long conference hist night with Lieu tenant General Correa, minister of war, on the subject of measures to assist the Spanish olllclnls In the Philippines, whose situation Is precarious. It was decided to entrust to officers of the colonial army tlie registration of lands and similar duties. The cabinet council today, says Senor Sagasta, will deal with the nomina tion of the peace commissioners; and, ns far as possible, commissioners will be appointed who are conversant with International law, financial matters and colonial questions, especially regarding the Philippines. In fact, this last point will largely determine tho choice of tho commissioners. General Wcyler, presiding Inst even ing over the Weyler club convention, alluded to the "disasters Spain has suf fered and must retrieve." He complained that the press censorship would "pre vont tho fixing of tho responsibility, which politicians are trying to throw on the army and navy." lie promised that he would speak plainly and place himself forthwith "at the head of tho people In their struggle, for tho salva tion of the country."

Senu Sii.vm tlie (limp Hhotilil Ho Speedily Almuiloneit. New York, Aug. 31. Dr. Sena thinks thnt within a month every parson suf fering from typhoid fever brought Into Camp Wlkoff, at Montnuk Point, will lmve recovered or have died, and that by the time tlie conditions begin to look ns If lliey had Improved there will conio the period of greatest danger. The precautions tnken hit almost useless, afoot-ding to Dr. Senn. If one case of typhoid, or even a doren, were treated, then tlie precautions would be of use, but It would tequlre an ocean of dis infectants and sterllners to kill all the germs that get Into the ground at tho hospital heie. livery day, and ninny times each day, disinfectants ate sprinkled nbout tho enmp, hut there are comparatively little dlslnfcctnnts In propottlon to the amount of poison. Dr. Senn says that the condition of the troops who went to I'orto Itlco wits bad and that he expected Just whnt hus DK. NICHOLAS SENN. happened there and says the outbreak of typhoid was to be expected. The Chlckiimauga camp had the advantage of starting with all well men, and he says this one started out with tlie dis advantage of having the men sick, and many of the sick soldiers are suffering from the most contagious diseases. According to Dr. Senn, the men who went from Chlcknmauga and the other camps to Porto lllco were nlreaily In the first stages of typhoid fever before their departuie for the West Indies. Ho says the genus had begun to propa gate in their system. If the men could have gone home and received home comforts they would have escaped, but exposed to the hnrdships of a campaign they easily succumbed. Dr. Senn thinks the best thing to do Is to hurry the troops away from Montauk and reduce the camp Just as rapidly as possible, lie thinks the regulars should get back to barracks as soon as possible, and thero remain under the care of their regimental surgeons, who could direct their couise of conduct and their diet. Then, he Is of the opinion they would soon be on the road to recovery. Dr. Brown, who Is the executive head of the general hospital, differs with Dr. Senn and says there Is little or no danger; that the precautions are ample and that at the worst. It would take months for the conditions which Dr. Senn foretells to prevail. Yellow Taundlce Cured. Suffering humanity should be supplied with every means possible for its relief.

Would Pforoc Hi-IUhIi liitltitmcu, Ilut Must Yloltt to Power. l'ekln, Aug. 31, A high member of tho tsung 11 ynmen (Chinese foreign office), who Is a British sympathizer, complained In tho course of a recent In terview, that arcat Britain's assur ances of support ngalnst ltusslnn ag gression was belated. "Why," usked this functionary, "withhold such a declaration until llus sla had secured Port Arthur and France obtained considerable cessions In the south. The disintegration of the empire has begun, and today the ne cessity for strong action Is less urgent than when Ilussln first obtained a foot hold." Ho admitted that China had broken her promises to Knglnnd, but this, lie argued, was because Hussion pressure was too strong to bo resisted. Ho com plained of "British Ignorance of Rus sia's line of action," and asked "why does not lOngland approach Ilussla di rectly with a declaration that ltussla's Intel ference In China will bo regarded as a casus belli? It Is useless to pun ish helpless China and to participate In the disintegration of the empire. The tsung II ynmen prefers that Brit ish Influence should be paramount, but It Is tillable to do anything unless Kng Innd helps, with sword In hand."

Soldiers pass ing through Altoona tell a strange story regarding the death of Quarter master George B. Franks, of Company G, Twelfth New York regiment. The regiment Is encamped at Chattanooga. Because of the death of three hospital patients after drinking milk sold by negroes living in the neighborhood, tho quartermaster of Company G would not allow the negroes to sell anything to his company. Friday night n gang of negroes caught Franks outside of tho camp grounds and after beating him nearly to death, threw him under a passing railroad train. Since then the guards have been ordered to shoot any negro who attempts to pass the camp lines. im.... ..,. -oil m. lV-AVItt's Witch llnzol Salvo tho great pllo cure, don't accept any thing else.
