OUR OLD LOVER AGAIN.
TONAH, in the Gazette, in one of
his fascinating letters replete
with wisdom, scintillating with wit,
odorous of nature as now mown hay
and kindly ns tho beams of ft mild
full moon, makes a ploasant anil
highly complimentary remark.
This, coming from one whoso bril
liant talents, erudition, philanthro-'
pio spirit, disinterested labors in bo
half of a high moral standard, and
general nsefrfness in tho community
having won the esteem and admir
ation of his fellow citizens, makes
us feel that some lives have not
beon lived all in vain. This is what
Jonah says : 'We see that our soar
ing brick structure with rooms to
lot has bumpedlagainst an I. Siekel
in August. The latter" (that is
August, we assume) can spare sub
stance enough to tenant the whole
upper story of that thing, French
roofed as it is." The Bible says:
"And the fish vomited out Jonah
upon the dry laud." Query: Is
Jonah, therefore, a puke?
OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.
Porto Rico, now virtually United
States territory, has an area of 3530
square miles. The census of 18S7
showod a population of 798,568 of
whom 474,933 wore white, 246,674
mulattoes and 76,985 nogroes. The
island is unusually fertile and its
dominant Industries are agriculture
and lumbering- Thore are more
than 500 varieties of trees found in
the forests, and the plains are full of
palms, orangeo and other trees. The
principal crops are sugar, coffee,
tobacco, cotton and maize, but ba
nanas, rice, pinoapplos and many
other fruits are luiportunt. Alarge
variety of marbles, limestone and
other building stones are doposited
on the island, but these resources are
undeveloped. There are salt works
at Guanioo and Salinas on the south
coast, and at Cane Rojo on the west.
According to the latest Spanish sta
tistices, obtained at the bureau of the
Philadelphia commerciul museum,
the importations into Porto Rioo
during 1896 amounted to $18,955, 703
and the exports to t-17,295,535. The
trade with United States during
last year ammounted to $3,181,024
exports to the United States and
$1,988,888 imports. Our principal ex
ports to the isluud are flour, pork
and lard. ' '

Philadelphia, Auff. 23. Candidate
Georfte A. Jenka' speech at Bedford,
accepting the Democratic nomination
for governor, has decidedly tallen in
distinctly flat.
As a keynote of an aggressive cam
paign, it Is a note that has already gone
to protest. Of course everyooay
knows that Republican defeat In Penn
sylvania cannot be accomplished by
Democratic votes. None but Republi
cans can defeat Republican candidates
In this state, and a Democratic candi
date, at the beginning of a hopeful can
didacy, muRt somehow appeal to a cer
tain element of the dominant party.
This Pattlson was cunning enough to
do in 18K2 and In 1890, and this Mr.
Jenks, with all his skill and experience
In pleading before a Jury, has con
spicuously failed to do in 1R98.
The dissatisfied element among Re
publicans here, so far as it exists,
which represents the disappointed am
bitions of men to whom the very name
of any successful Republican leader Is
as a red rag to a bull, hailed the speecn
with Instant resentment, because It
was simply a reiteration in general
terms of old charges which had -been
threshed over and forgotten, and said
nothing specific, and nothing personal
ly offensive, against Senator yuay
While they were sore and disappointed,
straight backed Republicans were
pleased that even so skillful an advo
cate could make no better case against
them. A prominent public man from
the northwestern part of the state put
the feeling very pointedly In the fol
lowing words:
"I have read Mr. Jenks' speech of ac
cf ptance with much Interest naturally.
Even If It had no relation to the cam
paign, I should have been Interested
because his reputation as an adroit and
skillful lawyer, cunning before a Jury
in making the best possible plea In the
face of adverse evidence, Is celebrated
wherever he Is known. His Bedford
speech Is worthy of his reputation
It skillfully avoids specific statements.
The word 'Democratic' does not ap
pear In It at all, and the word 'Repub
Itcan' only once, and to one who rends
it without thinking the Impression
might be conveyed that'both these par
ties had In some miraculous manner
been swept beyond the borders of the
state.
"The fatal weakness of his speech Is
not In the pleader, but in the caBe. He
probably put it as shrewdly as any
body could. But when even the most
cunning master of language Is forced
to appear as the hopeless spokesman
of a party which has no record in pub
lic affairs to point to, and a record In
national affairs which It Is compelled
to point away from, he is at a treat
disadvantage.
"The gist of Mr. Jenks' speech Is the
special plea that It is quite consistent
for anybody to vote for him and his as
sociate Democratic candidates upon the
state ticket and at the same time to
vote for Republicans for congress. If
this were so It would Include, of course.
In the list of candidates eligible for
Democratic votes the two Republican
candidates for congressmen at large
and the Republican state senators and
members of the legislature, who will
elect a United States senator.
"It would be absurd to vote one way
for members of the one branch of con
gress and vote the opposite way for
members of the other, especially when
the United States senate Is as cl sc as
it Is now.
"This theory, that the record and
purposes of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties can be conveniently
hung up behind the door, the mean
ing of the vote this year forgotten, and
the campaign narrowed down to
promiscuous guerrilla conflict, will not
I think, commend itself to the Demo
cratic party any more than to the Re
publicans. It would mean disaster to
any organization. One cannot follow
one flag on one wing of the battle and
carry a hostile banner on the other,
any more than he can serve In the
American army and the Spanish navy
at the same time. The line must be
kept consistent and Intact. The man
who attempts to ride two horses go
ing in opposite directions will go no
where but to fall, and he who tries
to belong to two churches of different
creeds will probably lose his stand
ing In both. It is before all things the
party creeds which are at Issue In this
campaign. Aside from their personal
friends, the greater part of the people
of Pennsylvania do not much care
which of them, Mr. Jenks or Colonel
Stone, la elected governor, so far at
either of them la individually concern
ed. But the people of Pennsylvania are
deeply Interested and determined, If
we can judge the present by the past,
to see to It that the principles and pur
poses of the Republican party shall not
be repudiated and set aside to give
place to those which Mr. Jenks' can
didacy undeniably represents before the
state and the country, however cun
ningly hi may seek to disguise the
fact. Like a good lawyer, he has made
the best of a bad case, but the jury In
this trial has time to think before the
verdict, and I have no notion that It
will be misled."
There are few men in Pennsylvania
better known than Jerome B. Nlles, of
Tioga, ex-auditor general of the state.
He is recognized as one of the strong
est men. In the northern tier, and his
lung and distinguished connection with
public affairs mukes his utterances al
ways timely and valuable. While not
referring directly to the speech of the
Democratic candidate, what he said
yesterday was evidently inspired by it.
Mr. Nlles said:
"Our Democratic friends cannot shirk
the national isuuea In which our pres
ent and futiifs welfare are so vitally
concerned. The voters of this most In
telligent state will not, by them, be de
ceived. In 1898 they went before the
country contending for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and plead
ing for a tariff for revenue only. They
are, In this state, seemingly anxious to
abandon their position taken In the last
campaign. They do not like to have
anything said about free sliver or about
free trade. The marvelous and mys
terious connection which they had dls
coversd between wbut ud silver '
appeared Immediately after the elec
tion of Mr. MeKlnloy. In thousands of
speeches they cried out that we would
ruin the American farmer by Insisting
upon a currency founded upon a gold
basis. They Insisted that when silver
went down In the scale of values that
wheat went with It. That upon the fi
nancial question they were a sort of
Siamese twins. And yet, In this, as In
all things else, they have been mis
taken. As soon as It was ascertained
that our currency was to he continued
on a solid basis, wheat began to go up
and silver kept on going down. The
mysterious connection was broken.
There have been times since 1R96 when
It would have taken enough silver bul
lion to make three sliver dollars to
buy one bushPl of wheat.
The Republican party has been in
this state on the right side of all the
great public questions of the last four
decades. Where are the public meas
ures that our Democratic friends have
originated? They canot be found. In
this state, at least, the Democratic
party has even been like the hind
wheels of a wagon, crawling along In
the rear, keeping Just so far behind;
always using as a camping ground the
place occupied by the Republicans In
the years that are gone, always keep
ing Just far enough from the front to
be of no service In the settlement of
public questions.
"We Judge men, and we should Jtidge
political parties, by what they have
done and not by what they promise
to do. You form your opinion as to the
future conduct of your neighbor by an
examination of his pnRt life. Political
parties are composed of Individuals,
and what Is true of the Individual per
son Is true of all political parties, be
they either great or small. There Is
no allegation against either of the can
didates personally that head the re
spective state tickets. They are both
worthy citizens. Each represents the
traditions and the principles of his par
ty. And the success of the individual
candidate will be the triumph of the
party whose representative for the
present he Is.
Colonel William A. Stone repr-sents
the Republican party, with Its glorious
and Illuminated history of the past
third of a century. He represents a par
ty that stands pledged to a financial
policy that will for all time give us a
currency which Bhall be as unchange
able as the hills and which shall be
good as gold In any land upon which
the sun In heaven shines In makinft his
dally round. Colonel Stone represents .1
party that stands pledged to the main
tenance of our present protective sys
tem, which affords fair and ample re
lief to America Industry: which raises
a sufficient revenue to meet all the de
mands of the people; which Is at all
times able to protect the gold reserve
in the national treasury and which does
not compel the government to sell Its
bonds by the hundred millions to pay
our running expenses in times of pro
found peace and general prosperity.
"Mr. Jenks and his ticket, so far as
this state Is concerned, do not represent
anything. His party has not originated
a single measure for the benefit of the
people. It has contented Itself in oppos
ing Republican measures, and generally
without success. From a national
standpoint Mr. Jenks represents a tar
iff for revenue only and the free and
unlimited coinage of 45-cent dollars.
No Democratic orator, during the pend
ing canvass, will deliver a speech ad
vocating either. They dare not here
and now urge the principles of the Chi
cago platform. If they would meet
these issues fairly and squarely on the
stump and advocate the same doc
trines that they put forth at Chicago
In 1896, the majority for Colonel Stone
would be 300.000.
"In political parties all cannot, at all
times, have that to which they feel they
are entitled. There always has been;
there always will be heart burnings
and bitter personal disappointments.
Republicans should stand by our most
excellent state ticket from the top to
the bottom. There haB been, there will
be no allegation against the personal
fitness of a single one from the head to
the foot of the list. They are all good
men and true. We know of their ante
cedents. It is vastly Important that we
should have a delegation in congress
as nearly our way as possible. A dele
gation that will at all times stand by
the financial and revenue measures to
which our party has been so long com
mitted. "We all understand. If such a thing
were possible, what the election of the.
Democratic ticket In November would
stand for. It would be said from the
busy Atlantic coast to the golden
shores of the Pacific; from our north
ern lakes to the land of the orange and
the magnolia, that the strongest pro
tective state In the republic had" re
pudiated Its own Idea, and that in mat
ters of finance Its people preferred the
theories of William J. Brvan to the
facts, logic and sound principles of
William McKinley, who today Is the
most respected, the most honored and
beloved citizen of the republic."

DEHORNING WINS ITS CASE.
In tho fall of 1897, Mr. F. O.
Liibby, trustee of the Shaker So
ciety, near Alfred, M. E., dehorned
a herd of 41 cows. . Mr. Liuby was
arrested for this act, and brought
before a municipal court, found
guilty, and fined ;'0. The case was
appeuled to the Supreme Court, and
roccntly came up for trial. The
Judge, after hearing the arguments
in favor of dehorning, held that the
operation projierly performed was
not cruelty. There was no evi
dence that the Shakers did not pro
perly perform the operation, there
fore the State had no case, and the
judge ordered it thrown out of the
court. This, no doubt, puts an end
to any further prosecution for de
horning in Maine, for this was con
sidered a test case. It will, prob
ably, end all efforts to stop the pro
cess. This is the outcome which
we predicted last fall. We do not
believe it possible for any superior
court to convict a man of cruelty
for dehorning his cows in a proper
manner. The operation has come
to stay, and is an established part
of pood dairy usage.
We were pleased to see tho above
from the oolumns of the Rural
New Yorker. When properly done
why should dehorning cuttle be con
sidered cruel treatment of them.
How much worse is it than for a
human being to have a tooth drawn?
And in having a tooth drawn is not
one half the trouble in the thought
of the tooth-pulling Tjeforehand.
And cows of course are not -capable
of such thought concerning uthorn
tug. We do not believe in cruelty
to the auiwul kingdom, but when
pci)lo nlijoet to dehorning they arc
"morn nii'4) than wise."
Wo noticed Hint our dairy was a
great deal more lamh-likn after
having their horna clipped off. If
propnrly done the operation is
stnntiineona.

PLEA FOB THE BIRD V
Who lias not 'noticed the dimin
ishing; numbers of tho frolickin r
and sinking birds of our own Pike
Co woods? The following from
tho St .: 3kmim and Farmer, is com
mended to the attention of our
young lady readers especially.
Senator Hoar of Mnsmtclinsetts,
who has gained many friends by
his able plea for the birds, is quot
ed in a recent interview as saying :
"Eiittland imports more than 2D,-
01)0,000 dead birds every year, and
their skins and feathers are made
into articles to adorn women. In
all Euroiio 300,000,000 birds nr.)
sacrificed every year for this pur
pose In Chicago one denier re
ceives in a single season 32,000,000
hummiii!? birds and 300,000 other
birds of different varieties, or their
wings, Some people call tho ob
jection to this mere sentiment. 8o
is the objoction to murdering child
ren ft sentiment 1"
But there is much more than mere
sentiment in favor of protecting
the birds. Our country loses mill
ions of dollars every year by the
ravages of insect pests, of which
birds are the natural enomies. It
is therefore good business as well
as humanity to condemn the slaugh
ter of "our friends in feathers, and
any fad or fashion which requires
or encourages their destruction.
We commend capricious Dame fash,
ion to the ostrich as a source of
plumes in the place of our insect
ivorous birds.
