FREELAND, PA., JULY 28, 1003. <vU NJ PARTY REFORM Can Come Only By Fighting Outside Party Lines. The Linesville (Pa.) Herald, edited by Hon. H. D. Lowing, recently con tained the following editorial, which is full of good sense. Mr. Lowing was formerly a Republican member of the legislature, but of late years has re fused, like a great many other con scientious Republicans, to lend his sanction to a party which no longer represents his honest views; "Sometimes, perhaps, a party may be reformed from the inside, hut it will be difficult for anyone to point to a case where it has been done. It is a vain hope which some good men in dulge in. Reforming a party from the inside is like a man trying to lift himself out of the mud and mire by his hoot straps. "The only way to get rid of rings and political schemers is to turn them down, even if you have to turn down some good men with them. To do this by forming a new party requires a po litical upheaval amounting to a revo lution. "Generally the only practical way to accomplish any good Is for the inde pendent men, who care more for good, honest government than they do for party success, is to swing boldly over to the other side; then one man counts as much as two who, byway of pro test, vote for a party that cannot elect anyone. "The men who always vote their party ticket, right or wrong, are a part of the machine as much as the bosses who make the nominations and shape the policy of the party. The procession that follows the hand wagon wherever it goes are as much a part of the machine as those riding In the box and doing the steering. Re publicans are not voting now for Abraham Lincoln, Thaddeus Stevens, Governor Curtin, John P. Hale and Charles Sumner, nor for the principles of self government and civil liberty for all men, which those men carried out. "The Republican party is controlled by men as unlike the patriarchs of the Civil War as Jefferson Davis and Howell Cobb were unlike Jackson, Jefferson and Madison. "In the fifties the Democrats and Whigs were not all pro-slavery fanat ics and many of them stuck to their old parties hoping to reform them from the inside, but those in office, with the influence and money of the Cotton Kings to back them, were too much for all the good men when divided, and pushed the people into war and revolution. "While good Republicans are wait ing for reform on the inside those in control are waging a cruel and wicked war of conquest, laying waste the best settled and best civilized portions of the Philippine Islands, where the best educated and most Christian inhabit ants are aspiring for independence and self government. At the same time they are in league with despotic Sul tans, paying them out of the treasury and supporting them in their slave holding Imperialism. "Is the flag of liberty that floats over the palace and harem and slave pens of the Sultan "to stay put" un til the Republican party can be re formed from the Inside? "Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, gnd one or two Republicans In the house were the only Republicans In congress who had the humanity and courago to protest against the con tinuance of the unrighteousness wnr upon those who had broken the Span ish power and were setting up for themselves. "Must this unjust war of subjugation go on until these half a dozen, or less, reform the party from the Inside, or will men assert their Independence and break away from the control of the bosses and support men In other parties who believe that all men have rights too sacred to be trampled under foot by conquering armies." PUBLIC OPINION Opinions From Various Sources On Po litical Questions of the Day. Taken as a whole the ticket Is at nil events a respectable and substantial one, and distinctly superior to that which Senator Quay made for the Re publican organization. As to its pros pects of success those remain to be de termined by circumstances, the force of which cannot immediately he meas ured. —Pittsburg Leader (Rep.). PUBLIC OPINION Opinions From Various Sources On Po litical Questions of the Day. There was no "Cousin Samuel" busi ness at Erie. The choice ot that con vention was the choice of the Demo cratic people of Pennsylvania. The one who heads the ticket is a man whose honor would have spurned a nomination stolen from another or pur chased of men willing to betray their people for the price an unscrupulous boss was willing to pay.—Lock Haven Democrat. Those people who believe "Pennsyl vania has no ills that are worthy of mention" will vote for Judge Penny packer, but the same people would vote for any candidate of Quay's selection. Those who disapprove of ballot-box stuffing, of padded assessment lists, of "ripper" outrages, of bribery and intim idation and keep in mind the open, glaring corruption of the last legisla tive session will vote for Pattison and Guthrie. —Erie Herald. There Is a growing impression in Democratic circles that the Union party will nominate Robert E. Pattison for governor and George W. Guthrie for lieutenant governor. While no one presumes to speak for the Union party until the delegates to the state conven tion are elected, the Democratic, friends of ex-Governor Pattison be lieve that when they assemble to name the ticket the majority will be for the endorsement of the Democratic guber natorial candidate. —Pottstown Ledger. It's impossible to feel a great meas ure of sympathy for the Quaysylva nians. They know they have a corrupt government. They proclaim their shame to all the world, and yet they submit to the rule of the oligarchy. They worship the Liberty Bell, which hangs in Independence Hall, but they have none of the spirit of their Revo lutionary forefathers. That glorious old bell is debased by its political environ ment. It once sounded the tocsin of liberty for men worthy of self-gov ernment. It is sadly out of place in Qnaysylvania.—Baltimore Sun (Ind.). Representative men were present at the committee meeting of the Union party from 40 of the 60 senatorial dis tricts of the state —every man a Re publican In all that makes Republican ism worth while. Of the 40 not one had a favorable woid for Pennypacker; many said their people had naught but opposition for a candidate who had de clared thnt "Pennsylvania has no ills worthy of mention;" others reported a feeling of utter indifference on the part of Republican voters toward the suc cess of the Republican ticket; still oth ers were silent. All this Is eloquent of the state of the really independent Re publican mind. Where Pennypacker does not actually antagonize he fails to enthuse. —Philadelphia North Amer ican. The promise of ballot reform, the most pressing political need in Penn sylvania, is made by both parties; but the Republicans have been so often faithless to such promises that it is difficult to find a reason for accepting this year's protestations. Quay is nom inating the same old tools for seats in the legislature, and Quay has in the past gained and held his power large ly by election frauds. On the other hand, every argument, both of morality and expediency, urges the Democrats to bring about ballot reform. Their platform calls for a personal registra tion law and a secret ballot, and ex- Governor Pattisdn is pledged to carry this reform through if elected. The contest in Pennsylvania this year will be interesting.—New York Evening Post. It is one of the strange delusions that make up the great Quay myth, of which Judge Penny packer is the prophet, that the senator is faithful to his friends. He is so while they serve his purposes. The moment they cease to be useful or become a hindrance, they are thrust aside without the least remorse. The whole state is strewn with these worn-out and rejected poli tical tools. Quay is not different in this respect from other "bosses," ex cept that his political system is more completely organized, more despotic, more absolutely soulless than any other that has been known. The human sentiments are not to be ex pected from such a machine. Its prizes are awarded not so much for past services as in consideration of services to come. Elkin has been use ful, but Pennypacker can be more useful under present conditions, anil the loyal devotion of the other is the very reason for his rejection. It has made him powerless in opposition and there is nothing for him to do but to submit. —Philadelphia Times. The Manila chamber of commerce, composed of as unscrupulous and greedy a lot of carpet-bag exploiters and grafters as ever followed a flag to pillage in the wake of an army, asks the president by resolution to put a stop to trials of army officers by court martials for abusing the natives. The trials are held under the orders of the president, who has declared that offi cers guilty of cruelty shall be pun ished. and this impudent gang of camp followers has the effrontery to protest against his action because it "threat ens the business interests in the islands, which urgently demand the protection of the army." This busi ness of punishing army officers for violating the rules of civilized warfare, if persisted in, says the Manila cham ber of exploitation, "will result in the abandonment of the American cause in the islands." If the American cause can be maintained only by torture and the slaughter of unarmed natives, the quicker it is abandoned the better. The president's reply to the Manila cham ber of commerce, if he deigns to make any, should be mighty interesting reading.—Philadelphia North Ameri can. _ I For Infants and Children. f ASTORIA * The Kind You Have IsKfeJM | Always Bought AYegetable Preparntionfor As - fl * ~ I similalitigihcFoodandßegula- S M ling HieStomachsand Bowels of jg til 6 > " , ,K ——I Signature /a(u Promotes Digestion, Cheerfu- I M j/ lip ness and Rest.Contains neither A JF • I Opium,Morpliine nor>lineral.

NEW YORK CITY. WU SENDS FAREWELL GIFTS Costly Fans, Curios and Mrs. Wu's Slippers As Souvenirs. Washington, July 28. —The Chinese minister, Wu Ting Fang, is beginning to pack his household goods prepara tory to yielding the legation to his suc cessor, Sir Liang, who will arrive next month in the suite of Prince Chen. Minister Wu says that if he responded to all the requests for souvenirs which he is now receiving from admirers all over the country he would not have much to pack, and if Mme. Wu sent as many slippers to museums and li braries as have been asked for she would go back to China barefooted. She, at the minister's request, brought with her last year from China a large collection of rare porcelains, tapes tries and old ivory, and these he has presented to friends with true Oriental generosity. The old garments of Mme. Wu have been distributed as far as they would go, and even some of her best finery has been offered as a sacrifice to the curio collector. The minister, also, has distributed his headgear and silken coats with great prodigality. There is scarcely a woman In Wash ington to whom he owed debts of hos pitality that has not received a costly fan, an ivory curio or bolts of silk for a gown. Minister Wu has also sent some rare gifts to the officials with whom he came in contact and to other friends in every part of the country. CHILDREN DIED OF BURNS Set Fire to Their Bed While Playing With Matches. Philadelphia, July 28. —Nellie Me- Tague, aged 5 years, and her 3-year-old brother, William, children of Martin McTague, were so badly burned yes terday at their home. 1235 Balnbridge street, that they died in n hospital a few hours later. The children were in bed at the time they were burned, and no one else was in the room. The mother heard cries coming from the room, and a hurried investigation re sulted in the finding of the two lit tle ones writhing in agony on their blazing bed. The children were quick ly taken from the room and the flames extinguished, but not before the boy and girl were fatally injured. It is supposed they were playing with matches while in bed. NEW PARTY MOVEMENT Milwaukee Trades Council Wants Un ion Workmen to Enter Politics. New York, July 28.—At a meeting of the Central Federated Union of New York yesterday a communication from the Federated Trades Council of Mil waukee. requesting co-operation for independent political action with a view of coming together in a national movement, was read. The letter spoke of the oppression of the labor people by both political parties, and went on to say that the only way to obtain their rights was to enter the political arena and name candidates for the presidency and congress. The communication was not warmly received, but a committee was ap pointed to ascertain further facts about the proposed new party. CASTRO'S TROOPS DEFEATED Rebels Rout Body of Reinforcements and Capture Their Ammunition. Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, 13. W. 1., July 28.—The Venezuelan revolutionary General Luciano Men doza, learning that President Castro was receiving reinforcements from Trujillo, state of Los Andes, awaited, near Alto de la Palma, a body of these reinforcements, 1,000 strong, under command of Leopolda Raptiste. An engagement ensued, resulting in the defeat of the reinforcements by Men- aoza's troops add the captiiro of their ammunition. The forces of Baptista were driven back to Carache, state of Los Andes. Mexican Outlaw Captured. Guthrie, Okla., July 28.—Another battle between outlaws and officers has been fought, and Charles Johnson, for whom President Diaz, of Mexico, offered a large reward, has been cap tured. A number of outlaws were cap tured with Johnson, and their horses and guns confiscated. Sheriff James Johnson and Deputy Sheriff Smith sur prised the men in a pasture, where they had a large bunch of stolen ani mals. After a short exchange of shots, the men snrrendered and wore taken to Anadarko. Crisis In Cuban Affairs. Indianapolis, July 28.—General Fltz hugh Lee said last night: "I believe that the crisis in Cuban affairs is now. The Cubans were promised an Inde pendent government, and they have it. Now they will have to prove that they can give security to property and maintain order in the island. If they do not come up to the mark the island must become either a part of the United States or a dependency of this country." Shot By Jealous Lover. Springfield, Mo„ July 28. —Charles Weyley, aged 25 years, of Norwood, Mo., Saturday night shot and killed Miss Josephine Sheridan, his former sweetheart, at her home here, and then shot and killed himself. Jealousy probably prompted the act. The two had known each other for four years, ind up to a month ago had been en gaged to be married. Three Business Blocks Burned. Waterloo, la., July 28.—East Water loo was visited early yesterday by a fire which did damage to the extent of SBO,OOO. It originated in the base ment of the Waterloo Fruit and Com mission Company's store. The fire men were almost helpless, but a heavy rain checked the flames. Three busi ness blocks were burned. It is altogether likely Mr. Pattison will be heard in every county in the state, in advocacy of the cause of which he is now the chosen leader, be fore the campaign closes. Mr. Pattison is a speaker of great vigor. Kobust in health and of commanding appearance, he is sure to make a profound impres sion wherever he goes. Dauphin coun ty is quite sure to hear lilfn more than once before November. —Harrisburg Pa triot.
