BEEF.

1t is announced that the importation
of beef from this country to Great
Britain has fallen away to less than moth.
ing, and is likely to cease altogether.
This Of course is the natural consequence
of the high prices which prevail at home.
The shipment of cattle to England has
been overdone, and it is just as we'll that
it should be temporarily suspended.
After a little while, if fortune favors us,
we may again have a surplus of cattle to
dispose of, but just at present we have
none to spare, and it is satisfactory to
know hat what we have is being re-
tanned for home consumption.

The chairman of the Republican state
committee, Thomas v. Cooper, was a
candidate for the Republican nomina.
zion for governor until Cameron ordered
him off the track. Among the acts Of
his present position has been the issuing
of an address directed against the
Democratic candidate for governor and
urging as the sole objection to Mr.. Patti
son the fact that he was born in Mary
land. It is carefully suppressed that
Mr.. Pattison was the son of a pious and
patriotic Methodist itinerant preacher,
who removed to Philadelphia when his
son was only six years of age, ard that
all of his education, training and expert
ence have been that of native Penn-
sylvanian. The attempt to make any
capital ont Of this matter-except
against the author of the silly circular.
has, of course, been an utter failure.
But what more can be said of the utter
stupidity and recklessness of Cooper
when it is disclosed that in the senatorial
biography published in Smull's hand
book, and presumably written or pub
lished by Cooper himself, the cold fact
appears that Cooper was born in Cadiz,
Jefferson county, Ohio and RepubG
can paper in his own town declares that
he carpet-bagged from Ohio first to

For a man who lately aspired to be
governor and who has declared that only
native Pennsylvania can acquire the
intimate knowledge on the part of its
occupant of the people of the state,
their peculiarities and local idiosyncrs-
sizes, their special wants and desires, and
of the measures necessary to. promote
their varied interests" this discovery
about Cooper is very refnshing indeed.

Judge Psrsnlng Accepts tho Peoples Call to
H.. Remain ON the Bench.
The following is the letter addressed by
q number of leading members of the Scuyl-
kill county bar to Cyrus L. PershiDg,
President Judge of tho courts of Scuylkill
county, and his response:
DEAR SIR:-The undersigned members
Of the bar, recognizing the ability, diligence
and impartiality that you have displayed
in the discharge of your duties as presi.
dent judge of'this judicial district, respect
fully request that you permit your name
to be presented to the people for re-elec-
tion to the position which you have 50 ac-
ceptably filed during the past ten years.
We believe that the judicial Office should
be above all mere partisanship, and that
as the peoples candidate, irrespective Of
the action of all political conventions, your
services in behalf Of the community, by
which peace and good order to an extent
never before known have been secured
throughout the entire county, will meet
with grateful recognition.
This letter was signed by fifty -four at
torneys. Judge Pershing made the follow
ing reply, under date of July 20:
GENTLEMEN l am in receipt of your
communication requesting me to permit
my name to be presented to the people Of
Schuylkill county for reelection to the
Office Of president judge. Many citizens
throughout the county have orally or in
writing made the same request. AS this
movement is in harmony with my own
wishes on the subject herewith give my
consent and refer the question to the peO-
ple in the exercise of their Individual
rights or through such political Organiza-
tions as they may prefer for their decision
at tho ballot box, cordially subscribe to
the doctrine that judicial Office should be
above all partisanship. I have faithfully
endeavored during the time have acted
as president judge to carry out this prin-
ciple in its integrity. am pleased to note
that your communication is signed by
gentlemen of prominence in each Of the
existing political parties. Should the
voters Of SchuylkiH county again honor
me with a majority of their sutfrages ]
shall regard it as my highest obligation to
devote my time aud what ability may
possess to the discharge of the respon
sable duties of the trust. Coming among
the people of this county ten years ago,
an entire stranger to them, I entered on
the judicial Office under peculiar embar
rassments. Time and acquaintance have
to great extent removed these out of my
way. The experience gained by these
doubt will the better qualify me hereafter
for an intelligent and impartial service or
the bench. Thanking you for the very
fatteIing terms in which you have ad-
dressed me, am, etc.

A CRUEL srEPrArHER.,

He Mains for Life HISS WaEo's Little Son.
A letter from Mrs. L. B. Scofeld, dated
Denver, Colorado. inclOsing an article
taken from the Denver Great West, Of

the person referred to In tho. article Is in

"About the saddest case We have seen
for long time is that of q beautiful boy,
five yeass of age, strapped in an iron frame,
with legs encased in plaster, immovably
fixed, suffering from an injured spine
caused by the brutal beating given him by
his step-father, one Lloyd Benton Scofield,
at one time in the real estate business here
in Denver. The mother Of the child is an
English lady who claims to be Scofeld's 3
wife, but, owing to his brutality, left him
and returned to England, where tho poor
boy was placed under ths doetor's care;
who says the lad must remain in this
armored condition for at least two years.
The bright, intelligent face of this poor
sufferer looks pale and emaciated, but not
withstanding the sufierings which he un.-
dergoes he is patient. Just think of the
position he must remain in for two long,
weary years. Before he received this bru.
tai beating he was healthy, good looking
boy, enjoying all the childish sports in

says all that u lid 70 say and Ays Ii

ernor, and if chosen for the offics by The
people I will strive to perform its duties
to their SatisfactiOn." That is all get
therein. j whole platfOrm-h0nest gov
ernnent in the interest Of tho people. :,
, The governor of the state has little to do
with anything else than this. Questions
Of national policy are not within tho range
Of his Official duties, and all present ques-
tiO1s of state policy are summed up in
just tho two points clearly stated in this
brief letter-the choice of officers "by the
people, not by the machine, and the per,
formance of official duties for their satis>
faction, not for the satisfaction of bosses
or party workers.
This il what Mr. Psttisoh's candidacy
really represents. 1t was because Of his
modest but answering and impartial dis
charge pf his public duties al controller
that he was nominated for the greater
Office, and this simple, business like letter
gives the most complete assurance that
he understands precisely what the CON-
moowealth will expect Of him AID that
tho hondrs he has won or may win cannot
turn him aside from his devotion to hon.
est government.
Honest government, enforced, by an
honest and fearless chief executive, is
what Pennsylvania wants. A. candidate
like Mr.. Pattison does not need to make
any more specific pledge than this, be-
cause his record is known of all men and
the call that has been made upon him
really means that he shall apply to the
government of the state the principles and
methods that have done SO much for the
better government of Philadelphia. A
single sentence Of acceptance from such a
man is worth whole columns of reform
theories and political platitudes from the
average candidate.
