THE CITADEL OF RING POWER. Th Quay candidate for governor has been trying to mislead the public mind with regard to the management of the state finances under the direction of his political creator, who has held the key of the public chest ever since he took control of the machine. The charge, which cannot be denied, the proof of which can never be blotted out, is not defalcation and robbery, but the misuse of the public monies while in the keeping of this organization, for its own selfish and base purposes. The disingenuous statement that the state treasury holds $12,000,000, carries with it, though unintentionally, the severest self-condemnation. It is the constant habit of the ring to husband the state's resources for their own purposes, often holding back payments when they hould be made. The state treasury, for more than thirty years, has been the citadel of machine power, and every other year it renews its iron grip, no matter what other interests may suffer. Mr. Quay would rather lose any other office than this. He is today exacting tribute from his fiscal agents and in indirect ways, also, securing financial help to maintain the power he has so shame fully abused. But the hand-writing is on the wall. The people are aroused, and they mean to finally break the hold of Quayism upon the government of this great state. Let every patriot help on the good work. Soo that your Republican neighbor has the facts before him this year. Lend him this paper every woek. If you want an extra copy a postal will bring it. Help along the good work of public enlightenment. Be not deceived by false reports and campaign roorbachs. The machine lie factory has started up earlier than usual this year. This Is significant. But the truth will triumph. Pennypackor will find out presently that the people propose to fight the bat tle for freedom against the machine ana all Its cohorts and apologists and de fenders as wall. Penrose's fate Is as good as sealed already and he knows It. He has been a monumental failure as senator and also us sub-boss. The whole outfit must go. When Quay knocked off last wsek and went home to "rest" a few days, the machine gang had a congestive chill. This is only the first one. Turn out at every Democratic meet ing and take your neighbor. The neal four weeks Is the political harvest ttms for good government. Every movement of the Quay party Is crooked. Even the big ball rolling project is a scheme to use Roosevelt's face as a mask for the baffled Pennsyl vania boss. But intelligent voters see through It all. Workingmen everywhere are real izing that their best weapon with which to maintain all their rights is an honest ballot. They are arraying themselves against the political crooks this year as never before. The rail roaders' endorsement of Pattison is a sign of the times that means great things for the cause of clean politics and good government. Honest Republicans are beginning to see clearly that they cannot endorse Pennypackerism without continuing Quayism In power. The machine can didate has shown himself to be a weak ling from whom nothing good may be expected. GUTHRIE TURNS DOWN PENNYPACKER The Quay Candidate's Pittsburg Speech Reviewed. FACTS ABOUT THE "RIPPER" How an Honest Reform Measure Was Scuttled and the People Betrayed. RING RULE NOW RESTORED Judge Pennypacker's muddled ref erence to the Pittsburg charter legis lation of 1901, In his recent speech in that city, has been the subject of much criticism. The Quay candidate for governor was speaking under the auspices of the old ring and tried to make capital for himself by express ing sympathy with them in the war made upon them. At the same time he condemned the efforts at reform legislation which were the inspiration of the original movement for a new city charter. A systematic plan has been pursued to mislead the people of the state with regard to this matter. In his speech at Connellsville Hon. George W. Guthrie, Democratic candi date for lieutenant governor, turned on the light as follows: At the last session of the legislature there was a bill passed which has be come known throughout the whole na tion as the Ripper bill. I want to tell you about that bill and what has been done under it. The first suggestion of any such bill came from Harrisburg in 1897. It was dangled before the peo ple of Pittsburg as a bait and a prom ise of relief from one of the most cor rupt, arbitrary and brutal rings that a municipality ever suffered from. In 1901 it was made the condition of the passage of a law for the proper gov ernment of the city of Pittsburg. From 1898, when the people of Pittsburg had been made ready, by promises of the machine, to believe that good laws would be passed for them, they had been in session after session, sup pliant at the feet of this boss for laws that were necessary for the government of their city, and session after session they were sent back disappointed; but in 1901 they were informed that they could have a law which would give them a charter satisfactory to them, but the sole condition upon which it was to be passed was that it should be accompanied with a ripper. The good citizens of Pittsburg had been suf fering under the rule of this ring, and knew there was no help for them until they could get a charter for their city. Many of them submitted to the terms, and a bill was taken up for the govern ment of the city, which was promised to them literaly as it was drafted. All the Good Cut Out. When that bill went to Harrisburg the men in control of the state ma chine in one night struck out of it every provision intended for good gov ernment, which they had intelligence enough to recognize. In that emascu lated form the bill was passed with the ripper attached to it, and the people of Pittsburg, who had submitted to the threat of this ripper as the price which must be paid for good government, were given the ripper, and the only good features in that law left after they got through with it were the pro visions which the emasculators did not have intelligence enough to recognize. The machine was to control and gov ern the city until the first election day under the law. The governor put a man there as recorder of the city, and the first step which he made to give the citizens of Pittsburg good, honest government was answered by an or der from Harrisburg removing him. The ring was, by the order of the gov ernor, reinstated in the city of Pitts burg with greater power than it had held under the law which the people had struggled against so long and which was so bitter to them; and so, instead of getting a good charter as promised, and an honest administra tion, they had the ring put back again in control with greater power than it ever held. Governor Stone's Postscript. The governor, when he did that, is sued a proclamation attempting to ex plain his act, and he added a post script in which he said: "I was not bribed to do this!" Think of it! The governor of this commonwealth was obliged by the very act which he was doing and the circumstances which sur rounded it to proclaim to the people that he was not a felon, and he is known today in the city of Pittsburg as the "P. S. Governor." In the whole political history of this country I do not believe such another ignominious act has ever been perpetrated. Now the distinguished jurist to whom I referred says that the re sult of the ripper bill was unfortunate, that such a bill should never have been passed. In the latter part of his re marks I heartily agree with him, but I go further. I do not say that it was unfortunate; I say that it was criminal to seize the liberties of the people and trade them off, whether for money or for political support, was treason against the institutions of our coun try. I am glad to say that this crime aroused the hearts of the people of Pittsburg as nothing else ever has. The betrayal of their rights, the failure to redeem the promises made to them as a consideration of their submision to the ripper, the corrupt bargain made by which their liberties were traded off, aroused them to bitter indignation and a determination to visit punish ment upon all concerned In it. Pennypacker's Dangerous Doctrine. The Philadelphia Record thus edi torially refers to this matter: "From this speech in half-condemna tion of the "ripper" and in whole con demnation of the constitutional provi sion in restraint of special legislation as a "monarchical device" the people of Pennsylvania are justified in making the inference that the candidate of the machine if elected governor would not interfere with the legislative wisdom. But his is a dangerous doctrine to pro claim in these times, much as it is cal culated to flatter the popular mind. In recognition of the fact that the major ity of one day may become a minority on the next under a government like ours, the people have imposed constitu tional restraints upon tne exercise of their own will. They have thus pro tected themselves, their municipal rights and their institutions against the caprice or corruption of changing ma jorities in the legislature. Rut such is the admiration of the machine candi date for the wisdom and virtue of the legislature that he treats as "monar chical devices" the provisions of the constitution of Pennsylvania for con fining its powers within reasonable and just limits.

Better Stick to His Apple Butter. The Pittsburg Post shows the ab surdity of Judge Penny packer's posi tion, as follows: "Judge Penny packer is far from clear or candid, or even honest, in discuss ing municipal questions as embodied in the ripper bill, and especially their further application by the state ad ministration in upsetting the good re sults expected and promised by the ripper law by restoring the b linn-Brown machine to power. The Republican candidate criticises the original ripper as objectionable, but is silent about the knavish methods of Stone and the gang in perverting it to the most infamous jobbery in politics and legislation the city of Pittsburg has ever seen. It was this daring usurpation of power that made the word ripper detestable. Against it Judge Pennypacker has not a word to say. He levels his feeble protests against what was good, or at least excusable, in the ripper, and re formed abuses and wrongs that were otherwise not curative. "The judge is finding the inconven ience of standing up for two radically inconsistent and opposing lines of mu nicipal government. I lis acceptance of the Citizens nomination, though of a veiled character, seemed to have put him in line with Republican reformers and opponents of the machine gang. But on Friday night he recanted, and, as the machine organs claim, put him self in full sympathy with their side by denouncing the original ripper and keeping quiet on the abuses and wrongs that Stone, Flinn and Brown have piled on it. "Under Quay's orders as governor he will do precisely as Stone did. It will therefore be evident to the voters of Pennsylvania that he is not the man to be entrusted with the responsibility of governing this great state. In one breath he declares "Pennsylvania has no political ills worth mentioning." In another breath he tears to atoms in the interest of the gang the most im- 1 portant legislation of the last session —the Pittsburg ripper law. Through it all he is steadfast in the belief that Quay is a greater man than Webster or Clay. Alas for Pennypacker! he had best return to geography and history, or the butter crop in Montgomery county." A SHOT AT THE RING A Clear-Headed Business Man's View of the Situation. Two Philadelphia business men, on the way to their day's work, were talk ing together, and naturally the conver sation drifted to the political situation. The first man. an Independent and somewhat active as a reformer, ex pressed freely his anti-Pennypacker views and his intention to vote for Pattison. The other man was a Re publican, and, like his friend, a type of the business man who attends to his own affairs successfully, does Ills own thinking, and, without appearing be fore the public, stands for what is best in our present-day commercial and po litical life. His words, as given by the Record, are worth quoting: "I have not always seen my way clear to go into these 'reform' move ments," he said to his companion, "for not all reformers are as disinterested as yourself. But it does seem to me that, the time has come for decent men to line up against the gang. Those fel lows are not true Republicans; they are simply rascals using the party name to cloak their roguery. I have come to feel that nothing is owing to them in the way of party loyalty, except pun ishment. Of late we have done a great deal of talking about purifying politics; now we have a chance to do some thing practical, and I have arrived at the conclusion that the only course open to a self-respecting man, in the premises, is to vote for Pattison. We all know that he is straight, and prac tical as well. I believe that if he is put into office again we shall have real reform. Anyway, a vote for him is a shot at the machine, and I think I owe that duty to Pennsylvania." With a business man's hnrd-headed sense, this man had grasped the vital question involved in the present cam paign. He was too bright to be de ceived by the old trick of the boodlers in putting forth a decent man to catch the votes of the unwary. In his mind the case resolved itself into its true elements namely, Quayism versus clean government. 1 New Use for Keflned Paratliue Wax. , A new and important use for Refined 1 Paraffine Wax seems to have been dis covered by a prouilnont resident of Ohio living near Lancaster, who had two trees badly damaged by storm, one be ing a maple and the other an apple. In each case a large limb was broken down from the trunk, but still attached to It. The limbs were propped up and fasten ed securely with straps, very much as a broken leg might be fastened with splints, and then melted refined wax poured Into and over all the cracks. The "surgical operation" was entirely successful. The Paraffine prevented the escape of the sap, kept out the rain and moisture which would have rotted the trees, prevented the depredations of Insects, and the limbs seem thus far to bo prefectly re-attached to the trees.

In Paraguay there is a little com munistic colony known as the Cosmo colony, which was founded several years ago by an enthusiastic band of Australian socialists. After many hardships and privations the colony Is now In such a nourishing condition as to boast a newspaper of its own called the Cosmo Monthly. The man ner In which news is dispensed to the colonists is interesting. A horn is blown, generally twice, with half an hour's gathering time between. The colonists assemble and the reader for the occasion gives out his news, which consists of interesting Items selected from the latest weekly papers and dis patches from the Asuncion daily pa per, which the colonists receive twice a week. A IttiNh to South Africa. A rush of emigrants from Australia j to South Africa has set in and Is wor rying the authorities of the common- ! wealth of the southern seas. The Mel bourne papers strongly deprecate the exodus, declaring that the emigrants are largely those whom Australia can least afford to lose—la borers, artisans, farm hands, etc. Applicants for per mits to emigrate have to prove them selves possessed of a minimum of SIOO. The requirement, together with the expense of the voyage, is an obstacle to the poor in purse?, but adventurous in spirit, who usually flock to gold coun tries. The result is that ships from Australia are suffering from a plague of stowaways.—New York Tribune. The kind that cured your Grandfather. DR.
