by tho Republicans a candidate for

own party. Under tho amendments
made to tho ballot law last session
his namo can ttnly go on the ticket

which certificate is filed first wheth
or he runs as a Republican or Demo
crat. The Btroudsbnrg Times and Mon

print the article from the Pkkss
without credit, about Schultz hav

glad to know that our esteemed

DO NOT ENDORSE.
Tho Schuylkill County Democra
tic Convention studiously avoided
any reference to the Chicago plat
form or William J. Bryan. It re
commended the Democracy of Jeffer
son, Monroe and Jackson.
ANOTHER LACK OF CONFID
ENCE. The bonds offered by the Borough
Council ostensibly to raise money to
pay for the glen wore not taken.
Wo understand no bids wore re
ceived. Is it leu-..e tho Borough
has no credit, or beeuusn people
have absolutely no confidence in the
Town Council and its management
of public affairs.
The boys look pretty " monkey
ing," and wasting money but when
thoy run up against anything suh
btantial, or the it-Auctions of tho
Chief Burgess as to whether their
transaction are "legal and entirely
free from trick, device, or fraud,"
evidently tho.- who havo dollars to
invo-t do not belieVe tlvy are, to
lie extent of rilrinft nnythinf on
them. Bonds properly ami lei'-tlly
issued by the Borough would readily
sell at a premium, and nt a less rate
than six per cent. The Borouch is
perfectly solvent, and . her citizens
would not under ordinary circum
stances see her credit abased, Int.
evidently neither her citiwns or
those who are to be beneficiaries In
the dual, whatever it is, are will
inj; to lake the chances.
Here is another opportunity for
some modern writer on " confluence
in what ?" to explain why there is
none in our Democratic Town Coun
cil. Cleveland and his party were
far better on bond issues than is our
little coterie of small fry and pot
house politicians.
THE REPUBLICAN RESOLU
TIONS. The platform of principles adopted
by tho Republican Stale Convention
atHarrislmrg last week will com
mend itself generally to tho people
for its plain and business like state
ment, and reaffirmanco of the cardi
nal principles of tho party as enun
ciated in 1SSI6 and endorsed by the
people of the country.
The passage of the tariff bill is
commended, and a renewed pledge
. i ven to the doctrine of sound money
and an honest dollar. The civil ser
vice law is commended, nnd Cleve
land denounced for his partisan
ahuso of its powers and extension
of its provisions beyond what was
originally comtemplated by the law,
so as to protect his appointees.
It declares in favor of needed re
forms in sta te and municipal govern
ments, thanks the legislature for
steps taken in that direction, but
deplores the fact that measures hav
ing for their purpose the betterment
of such governments failed to pass
or be adopted. Tho administration
of President McKinley is commend
ed and a well deserved tributo paid
to him as an executive officer. Tho
passage of laws demanded by tho
laboring classes and to provide
adequate revenue to meet the exist
ing deficit, and at the same time con
tinue the appropriations to the pub
lic schools, penal and charitable in
stitutions is highly commended.
Tho management of the state fis
cal affairs is endorsed and Gover
nor Hastings is commended for his
faithful, honest and economical ad
ministration of State affairs, and his
watchfulness of the peoples interests.
We believe this platform will meet
the cordial Bupportand indorse ment
of all fair and liberal minds in the
state.

Intended for this department-
Trim up the fences, roadsides and
every place whore woods grow. It
looks neater and will save work
next year. '
Corn is bettor not in shock until
it is well hnrdenod, unless killed by
frost, when it should be cut as soon
as possible. Too early cutting
makos light grains, and if followed
by hot muggy weather, the sap in
tho stalks will sour and the fodder
turns black and loses its feeding
value.
An experienced potato grower
says that one good weed In a hill
will make the potatoes, at least
one-quarter smallor than if it was
absent.
Are you careful about saving seed
corn or do you dejiond on your
neighbors for it ? Wo hear about
poor lack, that it don't come up, or
does so unevenly. Whore is the
fault ? Bupposo this year you try
selecting erfect ears. Have the
oorn as thoroughly cured in the field
as possible, and when husking se
lect the long ears with straight rows
from end to end filled out at tho top
with perfect kernels, and leave
some husks on for braiding. Then
hang it up in the garret near the
chimney. In the spring it will be
all right and will grow. Tho tip
kernels should not lie planted, and
if ears are saved from stalks which
are low and thick set und be.ar two.
a plant miht be developed which
might have this habit. If you fol
low the alwve directions a demand
for your seed Oorn would arise and
it could be sold at un advanced
price.

The advance of r,o -r cent, in tlu
vil'ie'if wheat and the fall of 55
percent, in tho value of silver in lii;
past-year does not ;i i-.e justify the
assertions ns to the relations of
wheat nn-1 filver which were beiu.;
urged upon the farmers of the coun
try nt this time lu't, year.
Willi American tin-plate not only
supplying th markets of our own
country, but actually making a bid
for tie) lirirkets of tho world, th'1.
1 loniocrat ie asser! ion .4 of six years
ago that protection could not make
this industry successful in the
United States are anything but plea
sunt reading to the ni'-n who made
them.
It is understood that Ihe little
group of silver statesmen who re
cently invaded Japan in search of
data which would sustain their wan
ing cause have not met. with the
glowing success which they had ex
pected, especially in view of the fact
that silver lias, since their departure
reached the lowest point in its en
tire history.
Statistician Mulhall. in a, recent
article shows tlmt the prairie States
upon which the silverites relied last
year to carry their free-silver pro.
position are not only the most pros
perous sections of the United States
but most prosperous in the world,
and that their grain production is
at lat as ; great as that of France,
Germany and Austria collectively,
and their general food production
five times as great per each person
as in the most advanced sections of
Europe.
Workingmen in the United States
may congratulate themselves that
they rejected lust year the proposi
tion to place the American dollar
upon tho same basis as the Mexican
dollar. The working people of
Mexico now find their dollar worth
but 40 cents and yet are not receiv
ing any increased number of them
as their wages, while the prices of
articles which they are compelled to
buy with them have ml va need as
measured by depreciated dollars in
which they are paid.
It requires frankness and moral
courage on the part of free silver
organs to admit that this country
has prosperity even without the
free coinage of silver, but some of
thoin aro doing it. This is notably
the case with the New York Jour
nal, which was the leading free-silver
organ of last year, hut which is
now publishing page after pure ot
matter showing that prosperity is
actually here although free coinage
is much further a way than ut this
t-iino last year and the price of silver
is much lower.
Three-fourths of our foreign com
merce in the fiscal year just ended
was with tho gold-standard nations
of tho world. This is a point which
may bo of interest to the people who
aro still considering whether the
United States ought te adopt the
free coinage of silver and thus put
ourselves on a level with Mexico,
China, and the weaker of the South
American countries. Of tho 1. SOU, -000,
Out) of our foreign commerce
last year, over two-thirds was with
European nations and less than tiiOO,.
000,000 with nations having tho sil
ver standard.
Silver has fallen in the past year
from 69 cents per tine ounce, based
on an average rate of exchange at
New Y'ork at 58 cents per fine ounce,
while wheat in New York has ad
vanced from 65 cents to more than
a dollar per bushel. These facts
destroy not only the usefulness of
those elaborate tables with which
the silverites attempted to show
that wheat and silver went hand in
hand, but ulso destroy confidence in
tho general theory and assertions of
the men who a year ago attempted
to persuade the people of the LTnitcd
States to adopt the free coinage of
silver.
Tho warehouso certificate state,
ment, which was popular with the
Populists t wo or three years ago as
applied to farm products only, is
now prooed by ex-Governor Hoief,
of lown, as the only method by
which bilvur cnu safely bo made a
basis for currency. Ho suggests
tiiat, in view of the continued fall of
silver, tho Democratic party aban
don tho froo. coinage proposition and
propose the purchaso by the Govern
ment of silver bullion ut its market
value, issuing certificates therefor
redeemable in silver bullion at its
market-value, whatever it may be
nt any time.
The Donnteratio bargain counter
being in a serionsly depleted and un
attractive condition at the present
moment, tho leaders of that party
are now searching for new novel
ties. Free siuer and free trade
have lost their attractiveness de
spite tho advertising which thoy
have boon given, tho experiments
by the public in that lino having
nuuncated them with that clans of
cheap goous. It is probable that the
next assortment of wares which
these gentlemen will offer will be
Homy George's single tax, a de
nunciation of 'government by in

ITarrlpliurff, Atiic- -SI. Somewhat of a
sensation was created hy the publica
tion in peveial lending newspapers of
this urate of a ntnry to the effect that
rlectettiry of the Commonwealth Herd
er, lieputy Attorney (Jciiernl lOlkln,
Senators Quay and renrope, and others
equally well known, had vlKiicd a bond
for KO.fM) to Indemnify Statu Treas
urer Haywood for advaiictnir money on
account of salarlen to certain employes
of the h'glulslture. This fact hnd heen
known for several months, but was
not reuarded here as anything unusual.
uwIhk to the emhai rap suicnt that was
caused the state treasurer two years
tliro by the advelse action of the ROV-t-mor
on the appropriation to pay the
expensi-s of the Heller-I.aulmeh elec
tion contest the treasurer this year
positively refused to advance unv
money. Secretary of the Common
wealth lieeder and others on the bond
do not multe any secret of the fact
that such a bond Is In existence. They
regard it as a private transaction, with
which the public has nothing to do, In
asmuch as the bond was siigKestd
merely as a protection for the stat
treasurer u the event of any vetoInK
of sulari bills. It appears that the
bond was the outcome of a conference
of lt-publlcan party leaders In this
city betore the close of the last ses
sion of the legislature. Theiie has been
some gossip about the governor re
questing the leslGliatlons of several
state ofllctals involved In the mott-r,
who were appointed by hltn, but there
is not believed to be any ground for
such stories. Governor Hastings and
the other state olllcials seem to be on
the best possible terms.
The JlariuonloiiH C'ouvoutlon.
The chief feature of the Republican
state convention was the all pervading
harmony which characterized the pro
ceedings. In the convention hall there
was not the slightest disturbance, the
encounters between representatives of
the Philadelphia factions of the party
taking place at the meeting of the state
committee and at the session of the
comniittee on credentials. United
Ktates Senator Penrose made an at
tack upon the methods of Iaavld Martin
and Frank Willing teach, which they
resented In red hot speeches It wtia
all about rival delegations from one of
the districts In Philadelphia, and the
lenders were unable to keep down the
pugnacious tendencies of the two fac
tions. In the end one of the factions
abandoned its claims ami went home.
The convention had little trouble
in observing the program mapped out
by the loaders. John I. Ktkln, the
chali man of the state committee, was
mude temporal y chairman of the con
vention, in order that he miftht, In his
fcpeech, outline the Issues 01. the cam
paign and explain the effoits of the
party managers to inuka good the
pledges of two years regarding reform
mei-sures. He told how he labored
with the lawmakers, and how dilllcult
It was to make any headway in the
consideration of civil service reform.
He declared that the party an repre
sented in the legislature was clearly
agulnst civil service reform as Inter
preted by President Cleveland. He had
found the sentliiicut ao overwhelmingly
aualiist the bill that the party leaders
were ulinost compelled to abandon it.
It was defeated by a large vote, chair
man Klkln referred to the successful
legislation along rt form lines, ami
hoped for better things In the future.
He Bald the party pointed with prble
to the businesslike administration of
the ilseal affairs of the commonwealth,
and gnve some statistics to show that,
notwithstanding the millions of dol
lars handled by the state treasurer,
theie had been no loss to the state. The
platform adopted does not censure the
legislature, but thanks It for what it
did In the way of reform legislation,
and commends It for some enactments
favorable to the laboring classes. The
administration ot Uoveinor Hastings
was endorsed, and he was praised for
his tldellty to the Interests of the peo
ple. Major Levi Q. MoCauley had no
opposition for the nomination for au
ditor general, and James H. Ht-acom
was easily nominated for state treas
urer. Dlsugreeuhle llesoltitlcm Killed.
There was a little bieese In the con
entlon when William Bhortlhlge, ot
Vntr county, offered a resolution un
nulvocally endorsing the action of the
rovernor in vetoing the llecker bill,
:he mercantile tax and Hlmon bills and
the appropriations for legislative In
vestigating committees, and condemn
ing the legislature for passing "these
llshonest nicasuitH and for Ignoring or
making a force of the various reform
measures urged and promised by the
last two state conventions." This reso
lution was sent to the committee on
resolutions without much ceremony,
dnd was not heard from thereafter.
Theia was considerable Interest shown
by those who attended the convention
in the various gubernatorial booms
which Jostled each other at the Lochlel
hotel, which was the Kepublkan head
quarters. Among those who ware here
to center with the delegates and jfet
an Inkling of the sentiment In the dif
ferent parts of the state regarding the
successor of Governor Hastings wre
Congressmen Charles JkV. Htone of War
ren, William A. Htone ul Allegheny.
William Council of gcrauton and Peter
A. H. Wldener of Philadelphia. As it
looks now the contest next year will
be ons of the most exciting that the
Btate has ever seen. So many elements
proinlse to enter Into the fight that It
is a dilllcult matter now to foreshadow
the result. The usual reports w (11 be
sent ul about this or that leader fa
voring this or that caudldatti, but It
Is pretty safe to predict that the lead
ers of the party will go vwy slow in
making any declaration bf.,re the can
vass has proceeded far enough to de
velop the strength of the several as
pirants for tht ottiee of governor. Those
politician, who look far Into the future
are of the opinion that the candidal.-
will be permitted to make their own

of the pot.i,t forces of the Republican

A day or two ago several senators
snd member of the house who ore
connected with the committees which
arranged for th Junketing trips of the
legislature to New York and Philadel
phia on the oceastons of the unveiling
of the tirnnt and Washington monu
ments had a meeting on a bench In
Capitol park. They wanted room for
a free eupiesslon of th-lr views re
garding the governor's veto of these
expense bill,.. What they said about
those vetoes would not look well In
print. Owing to the Importunate de
mands of the cntrrer, who furnished
over Jt.'W worth of liquid rcfieshmente,
a id others who pro l.b-d for the com
fort of the sn,,ns, the committee mem
bers decided lo address a communica
tion to each p. T"on who participated In
these Junkets to make a voluntary con
tribution toward the liquidation of the
bills. It Is not expected that the re
sponses will be either prompt or large.
Meanwhile the anxious caterer who
furnished the liquids threatens to get
his money throuirh legal process.
Jtarrlsburc was visited last week
by thousands of grangers from all
parts of Pennsylvania. They came to
attend the big picnic at Williams
Grove, where for 0 years or more the
farmers, tbtlr wives and sweethearts,
have been wont to gather. This ex
position, for such it Is called, brings
from far an 1 near thousands who are
not farmers, but who make use of the
opportunity to Introduce to the notice
of the tillers of the soli their new
fangld farming implements and prlxe
seeds and windmills and primps, and.
Incidentally, gold hrit ks. There have
been as many as 30,000 people at this
picnic In one day, but the attendance
was not so large this year as hereto
fore, owing to the sudden rise of wheat
and the anxiety of the farmer to get
his cereals to the market.
Governor Hastings Is spending the
summer at his home In Hellcfonte, and
only comes to Harrlsburg a day or two
each week to transact suoh olllcinl
business as requires his attention.
Under a recent act of assembly he Is
empowered to appoint a state board
of dental examiners and also a super

't hn New Chef.se .nw.
The new cheese law passed by the
late legislature went Into effect last
week. It requires the name and man
ufacturer ot the cheese to be branded
or stem lied upon both the box nnd
cheese. Some wholesale dealers object
to this provision because It gives retail
ers all the information that Is neces
sary to deal directly with the manu
facturers. The object of the provision
Is to protect the purchaser and prevent
Imposition by unscrupulous manufac
turers. Under the old system the milk
producer and the cheese manufacturer
could skim the milk and make butter,
turning the remainder Into cheese and
selling It In the market as "full cream"
cheese. The present law does not for
bid skimming, but it compels the man
ufacturer to sell the skimmed cheese
for Just what ft is. The department
of ani (culture will strictly enforce the
law.
Arrangements are being made at the
attorney general's department to test
the constitutionality of the direct in
herltence tax law. It Is the purpose of
the department to object to the report
of some auditor for an estate who has
failed to allow this tax, and then ap
peal to the higher court in order to
gut a decision as soon as possible. At
torney General McCormlck and others
iK'Ucve that the law will stand.
Two Important acts passed by the
last legislature have already been de
clared unconstitutional the alien tax
law and the direct Inheritance tax law,
Should these opinions be sustained hy
the hb-'her courts those who favor a
legislative commission to revise and re
port on all -Important measures Intro
duced In the legislature will have a
strong aruuiiu-nt In the futtfre. Any
one who has had experience In the
legislature cannot fall to have been
Impressed with the carelessness and
Inaccuracy which characterize the
preparation of bills. At the state de
partment much could be told of the
bungling work of the legislature.
Pennsylvania's lttg Wheat Crop.
. Colonel Thomas J. Edge, the state
secretary of agriculture, says the area
devoted to wheal In Pennsylvania this
year is from l.a7r,,0iKi to l.xOO.GOO acres,
and he conservatively estimates the
yield of wheat at 20,0ao,00l) bushels. He
says the advance in price came at a
time when very little wheat had been
sold by the farmer, so that he gets
the benefits of the big Jump in values.
With the present figures as a basis,
he says, the net gain In values to the
farmers of Pennsylvania by reason of
the great advance in the price of wheat
Is simply enormous. He thinks the ef
fect will be felt In all channels of trade
for a long time to come.
Senator K. JV Hardenbergh having
heen set aside as a candidate for au
ditor general this year by the Republi
can state convention. It is understood
that he will bob up serenely as the can

berrh hasn't much faith in postponed
political promises, but the belief is en
tertained in Itepubllcan circles that he
will be given a place on Ihe ticket next
year. He was endorsed for the nomina
tion for auditor general by the labor
organizations, and they will Insist that
he be recognUed.
John Q. Sl.-wart, deputy state super
intendent of public instruction, has de

Keesport si hool board that the law
makes no provision for the election of
a vice prerddent in cities of the third

full authority lo appoint a president
