THE PLATFORM.
Adopted iy the Itepiibllcim County
Con-
volition Witterilny.
Tho platform adopted at tho Republican
county couvontiou was quite lengthy, aud
reaffirmed tho party's allegiance to tho prin
ciples contained in the national platform
adopted at St. Louis in lMld;that in order
to further tho interests of labor as well its
capital, tho great American system of pro
tection must bo piesorvcd.
Upon tho financial question tho platform
ilechires "that it Is of tho utmost Import
ance to our national welfuro to havo a firm,
stable aud unchangeable medium of exchange
and that the money of our country must bo
worth at all times aud places what it purports
to be; that no discount shall disgraco it and
no false idea of coinage shall rob it of Us full
value. Wo therefore favor tho host money
that our country can glvo tho people."
Tho administration of President McKinley,
in the conduct of tho war is commended;
that tho undying gratitudo of our nation Is
due to all the great horoes of tho war, in
cluding the voluutcors from Schuylkill
county, iu tho caiisoof liberty and freedom.
Tho platform further declares iu favor of
tlio retention of whatever territory wo havo
acquired by conquost ; that wc call upon our
Congressman to advance tho interests of tho
anthracite coal regions, so that its chief
product bo used lu our war vessels ; that tlio
Democratic convention hold at l'ottsvillo in
July last, In tho adoption of their platform,
acknowledged that they wore without
principles, and no other object or purpose
than to secure the llcshpnts of oillce.
The appointment of John 1'. Finney, as
sub-Treasurer in Philadelphia, is recognized
as a high compliment to our county; tho ad
ministration of Gov. Hastings is endorsed.
as well as tho course of the two United Statos
Senators, Congressman Ilrumm, State Senators
and members of tho Legislature. The
nomination of s. Iiurd Edwards, as District
Attorney, is commended to the peoplo, as a
guarantee that reforms will be accomplished
in that office.
The plank favoring a non-partisan judici
iiry, endorses tho course of Hon. It. II. Koch,
who has "proven his entire impartiality and
eminent fitness fur tho bench. In him ate
found experience, ability, conscience, candor,
courago aud irreproachablo character; and,
having been horn and reared within the
county, ho knows its peoplo and comprehends
their welfare. There are four judges on our
local bouch, threo of whom are Democrats,
who wero elected to their present terms of
office by tho aid of many Ropublioan voters
and for tlio Democratic party now to insist on
filling tlio only remaining position with
another Democrat, is to mako tho judgeship
a partisan political oflico aud tu be
get with people a serious lack of
confidence in the administration of justice.
The present candidacy of tho Democratic
nominee, his iusincority in his advocacy of
tho election of Cyrus L, Pershing over James
11. Roilly iu 18S2 and of David 11. Green over
George J. Wadliuger in 1801; otherwiso he
would still adhore to the non-partisan ideas
then supported and would bo no candidate
now to grab the only place on the bench not
filled by a Democrat. In November, 1801, lie
advocated the election of Green, Republican,
over Wndlingcr, Democrat, upon tho gruund
that Green was the only Republican on the
bench, and yet within sixteen months (Judge
Green having died in tho meantime) he urged
and secured Governor Pattison to appoint a
Democrat to fill the vacancy. Therefore we
cordially invito all voters in the county to
stand by the Republican party in its earnest
and practical advocacy of a non-partisan
judiciary aud iu a spirit of fairness to elect
the Honorablo Richard II. Koch.

Buntlago de Cuba, Sept. 13. Ab the
result ot the general Introduction by
General Wood, military eovornor of
Snntiugo de Cuba, of American moth
ods of conducting municipal affairs,
this ancient and always unhealthy city
presents a health record today which
Is quite extraordinary, considering the
conditions that existed here a month
ago.
Under the present system Santiago Is
divided Into Hve divisions, under Ave
physicians, each division having In
spectors of sewers, streets, housos and
dispensaries, with a hundred street
oleaners.
Five hundrod cubic yards of refuse
are burned dally, disinfectants ae dis
tributed wherever they are needed and
a heavy fine Is Imposed for uncleanll
ness ni.d failure to report unhealthful
conditions and death.
Quick proofs of the benefit of the
system are furnished by the decrease In
sickness among the poor. The dally
death rate of 70 a month ago has fallen
to 20. Further evidence of the wisdom
and thoroughness of tho sanitary ar
rangements Is supplied by tho lessening
of sickness among tho troop3.
The chief source of trouble now Is the
harbor. Near the city the current Is
slight. A plan Is proposed to dredge
thoroughly the muddy shallows ex
posed by the tide and to protect the
banks with either stone work or plies,
carrying the present Infectious aewup
ago two miles down the bay, whero tha
current Is swifter.
The Bickness among the American
soldiers Is principally malarial, a mild
form of yellow fever and dysentery.
General Wood expects, In the course of
another month, to make Santiago as
healthful as the ordinary southern city
in the United States.
This week nil the Spanish prisoners
will leave and the Cuban army, save
the staff officers, will disband.
Many Americans are arriving here
In search of business opportunities.
They express themselves as favorably
Impressed by the commercial possi
bilities of the town.

aspirations of any man. He groped

Injured for him to stand up straight,

closing round Goddard fought wildly,
while Choynskl was calm and banged
Goddard on the jaw, sending him to
his knees. Choynskl landed hard and
often, but he could not stop the Au

THE
Money Question
Here it's n question of how
much or how little. No matter
how much coin you have, you'll
find it has more purchasing power
with us than elsewhere. It is not
because your dollars contain more
metal for us, but because we are
satisfied with smaller tolls. If we
can't give you a fair equivalent we
don't want your money.
