The election of Galusha A. Grow was
q forgone conclusion. Everybody con-
ceded it; nobody doubted it. It was
simply a question of majority. The
Democratic leaders hoped for, and strug-
gled to secure, their normal vote, so that
they could 90 to the country with the
claim that Pennsylvania Democrats en-
dorsed the National Administration and
its policy. To that end they struggled
10 reduce the phenomenal majority
rolled up by the Republicans last No
vember, and were prepared to claim any
reduction, however small, as proof that
public sentiment was changing in their
behalf On the other hand, the Repub-
iicsns, assured OF victory, we're supine,
and outside Of Philadelphia and Ale
gheny, little or no effort was made TO
poll the vote. That the result is a sur
prise 10 both parties is unquestionsbly
true. The magnitude Of the Republican
majority is surprising, and when the sea-
son Of the year and the fact that but one
important candidate was to be elected,
are considered, the extent Of it is most
wonderful. There was a single but well
defined issue before the people-that
between a protective tariff and free
trade, and the result is as decisive as it
is crushing to the Democracy. So en-
phatie, 50 severe rebuke was never be-
fore administered to any political
party in Pennsylvania All over the
State, from every county and city Of the
Commonwealth, comes the verdict

asserting that they we're as good prctee-
tionists as were the Republicans; but in
their eagerness for spOils they abandoned
their home interests and followed their
Southern tsskmssters into the shambles
OF free trade. They have their reward.
Divided, distracted, broken, crushed and
repudiated by the people, there is none
left 10 do them honor. They BETRAYED
and deserted their great leader, Samuel
J. Randall. and applsuded when his last
faithful follower-sOuden-was made the
victim Of Clevelsnd's personal hostility.
Step by step they have retrograded from
the true faith, and now, the delGge. In
the language of Henry Watterson, they
have marched through a slaughter
house to an open grave"

AssembIymen Stare offlcer..

IT has been decided by the Attorney
General, in an opinion handed the Sec
retaSy of the Commonwealth, that GER
tiheates Of nomination and nomination
papers for members of the state House
Of Representatives must be fled in the
State Department. In the parent act of
1891 1t was expressly stipulated that
such papers should be filed at the State
Department, but in the new act of 1898
there Is no specific mention of the Office,
except that the term 'all State Offices" is
used. The Attorney General decides
that membership in the House is State
office, and any papers relating to the
nomination for such office must be filed
in the State Department. Those who
contemplate being candidates should
bear this in mind. 1t is simple matter,
yet if wrongly construed might lead to
trouble.

Religious FanatIoIsm.
From the cOnnsusvills Courier.

frlfL me IOu1tLl-fl4lc AOlllcl-
The farmers Of German township have re-
ceutly been treated to queer religious doc
triDes expounded BY two Second Adventist
preachers named Raum and Parker. These
apostles of this strange creed have conduct
ed meetings At the Progressive or Union
Church at Middle run for two months.
Raum was raised IN German township and
went West when be was l6 years old. He
became an adEocs.e Of the Aventist ideas,
and in company with Parker came back to
his old home 70 arouse his former friends.
They preach rather strange doctrines They
have substituted Saturday for Sunday. and
under their leadership some of the farmers
have quit doing any kind of work on Satur-
day, spending the day in church and per
forming their usual week day chores on
Sunday.
The preachers, it is asserted, claim the
ability TO perform miracles, heal the sick,
make the blind see and the lame TO walk,
bat 50 far have had no subjects to practice
on. They teach that the Day of Judgment
is about due and that when Christ comes the
wicked will be punished for seven minutes
and then swiftly and totally annihilated.
The same time they claim IA 600 elect per-
sons will 90 direct to heaven without tasting
death, and Of these 1000 viii be Advent
lists. The preachers, it is, said, claim to be
in communication with God, and occasion
ally announce q new batch Of revelations
that sets the community on FIRE. One OF
their converts last week prepared to build
lime kiln, but abandoned it upon Raum's S
declaration that it was useless. as il would
not be finished before the grand end ofall
things came.
One ofthe strangest things connected with
this fanaiicism is the appearance ofan alleg-
ed ghost in vacant house. The preachers
turned this to good account by declaring it
to be the presence of the Almighty, who
thus testified to the favor they have found in
his sight. Even this wild claim happened
to find believers, owing to the advent of the
preachers and the ghost at the same time
This delusive claim was exploded last week
by the discovery that the alleged ghost was
one Of Raum and PaTker's converts who
had taken up his abode in the old house
The discovery turned on the lights and the
/ conservative people of that section al once
saw the delusioa being practiced by the
Second Adventists. The people composing
the Progressive sChureh al Middle Run
where Raum and Parker have been holding
their meetings, took the bull by the horns
Friday, and closed the church against th'
preachers ofthe disturbing creed. The tive
preachers were not discouraged, however
and adjourned their meetings to the haunt
ed house and have been holding out there

TIE Democratic journals are all busy
trying TO explain just how it happened,
and their reasons are as plentiful as nom
sensical and laughable; every excuse be-
ing given except the true one. Among
Others, the Philadelphia Tines advances
the theory that it was lack Of pie. Hear
it:
The fact appears to be that the DemO-
cratic party in the State is sharing in the
general conditions Of business through
out the world, it is going through a peri
od of liquidation. 1t seems SAFE to as
sume from last Tuesdays returns that it
has about got down to ped rock, which Is
a good place from which to begin to
build up again. The judiciOus distribu-
tion Of post offices would no doubt pro
mote this process wonderfully, and il
must be hoped that the country editors
viii not lose their courage.

THAT staunch Democratic journal, the
Philadelphia Record, is very hot under
the collar because Of Grows majority. It
jumps upon its party friends with beth
feet, as follows:
The State has probably been carried
for Grow by 10000 majority. Philadel-
phia has given a Republican majority Of
5000. This is scandalous default. But
there is still more striking evidence OF
Democratic incapacity. The organiza-
ton is rotten. 1t is a corpse that should
be buried out Of sight as quickly as pos
sible, and the chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Committee and the chair
man Of the Democratic City Committee
should act as pall-bearers-
