ncKinIey on the Stump.

1t is no disparagement to the other
eminent Republicans who have this
year done valiant service upon the
stump to say that if the Fifty-fourth
congress shall be Republican it will
constitute an especial victory for Gov
ernor William Mckinley. Starting into
his campaign against the whetted and
concentrated opposition of every Demo-
cratic newspaper and public speaker
in the country, he has performed an
amount of aggressive work beside which
that of his liveliest colleague by con-
trast appears small. Wherever the fight
has been thickest, Mckinley has been
busiest. One day he is in Indiana, the
next in far Louisiana, and a third finds
him talking from daybreak to midnight
to applauding thousands in spirited
New York.
His performance in Illinois of
fifteen speeches between sunrise and
sunset only two days after his
triumphal tour of New York and Penn
sylvania constitutes signal illustra-
ton Of his energy, zeal and magnificent
endurance. 1t is said that during cam
paigns Napoleon and fatigue were
strangers; and in this wanderful physi-
cal resource the distinguished Ohio
champion of protection to American in
dustries certainly bears out the ira
ditional resemblance between himself
and Corsica's indomitable son. Unlike
some of his colleagues, Governor Nc
Kinley has never shirked a call to duty;
has never offered the excuse of physical
exhaustion and does not temper his
theories to fit varying localities and con-
ditions. A tower of strength, he is
ubiquitous, indefatigable and uncom-
promising. Be ones opinion of his
teachings what it may, there must be
universal compliment for his sincerity
energy and manly adherence to what he
believes to be right.
We have our doubts whether Gov
ernor Mckinley will be the next presi'
dent. Rightly or wrongly, sentiment
prevails in favor of the selection OF
some more conservative man. But one
thing is absolutely true: He will grow
in popular favor and esteem, as a mar
if not as a candidate; and he will oc'
cupy a place in history not inferior tc
that accorded to any other Republican
statesmen of this tion.

CLEVELAND SECRETLY CURSED
From the Post.Express.

from the PoSt-EXpress.
In special dispatch from New York
to the Chicago Herald Walter Wellman,
the well-known newspaper correspondent,
describes the popular Indignation at the
refusal of Mr.. Cleveland to register and to
say word in behalf of the Democratic
ticket. Mr.. Wellman says that in all his
experience he never heard a public man
denounced so bitterly and so generally as
Mr.. Cleveland is denounced now for what
Is declared to be his treachery toward
the Democratic party. The bltterest of
the denunciations, according to Mr.. Well
man, do not come from Senator Hill and
his friends-for they never expected that
Mr.. Cleveland would do anything, give
anything, or say anything-but from those
who have been admirers of Mr. Cleveland
men like Anderson and Coudert. When
Mr.. Cleveland was staying at DR.. Bry-
ants house no Democrat of prominence
called upon him. Mr.. Wellman says that
was because many men, like Whitney,
Thacher, Faulkner, Hinkley, Anderson
and Coudert, had communicated with Mr..
Cleveland by mail and had been snubbed.
The correspondent adds: Efforts had
already been made to induce Mr.. Cleve-
land to declare himself in this campaign
repeated and urgent invitations, even APP
peals, had been sent to him, not by Sena-
tor Hill, or those acting directly for him
Others who had the right to make those
appeals as friends and followers. Mr.
Cleveland's answers to the appeals and
| invitations have been extensively con-
temptuous. When Mr.. Cleveland came
| to town there was no one that could sc
| far forget his self-respect as to be willing
| to expose the other cheek"

Powderly, in the statement elsewhere
reproduced.
Mr. Powderly not only exposes the
falsity of the accusations against the
Republican gubernatorial nominee but
also shows the small basis which Mr.
Singerly has for the challenging of a
public inquiry into his relations with
organized labor. Posing in this cam
paign as labor's special champion and
friend, Mr.. Singerly is in reality labor's
vigorous and persistent foe; and mani
tests an extraordinary degree of eff
frontery in laying claim to the support
of the workingmen of Pennsylvania.
Upon the other hand, while General
Hastings has made no demagogic ap-
peals to labor as class, Mr. Powderly
eloquently testifies to his strong sym
pathy with the cause of labor and cites
facts In support of this testimony
which thoroughly sustain the ex-gen-
eral master workman's honest prefer
ence in this campaign. A perusal of
his manly statement will convince any
fair-minded member of the labor or
ganizations of Pennsylvania that Cen
eral Hastings election would better
serve the true interests of labor than
the election of q man who has been
organized labor's relentless enemy.

Charles HueSter.

Charles Huester, Republican nominee
for the office of recorder of deeds, is a
fair representative of the sturdy Ger
man element in American politics. AL
though born in the fatherland, Mr..
Huester came to this country when
quite young, and located in the city Of
Scranton, where he has passed the
greater portion of his life. His first
vote was cast in the interests of Re.
publicanism and he has remained a
faithful advocate of freedom and of
protection to American industries
since.
His business enterprises in Scranton
have been located principally on the
South Side of the city, where he is very
popular among people with whom he
has mingled in every day life. Mr.,
Huester has never served in an official
capacity, except as tax collector in the
Seventh ward. Upon this occasion his
work was performed to the satisfaction
Of all and with despatch that clearly
demonstrated his business ability. As
recorder of deeds for Lackawanna
county Charles Huester will make an
admirable official. The intelligent
voter can appreciate the situation and
will cast his ballot for Mr.. Huester.

The Tribune is glad to announce that
it has contracted for a series of Ameri-
can copyrighted short serial stories by
the best living authors on both sides of
the Atlantic ocean. The first of these
stories will be begun next Thursday;
and an instalment will thereafter be
printed daily. This is not a cheap
John service; the amount paid for it is,
we believe, the largest ever paid for a
similar service by a newspaper in these
parts. 1t will be Illustrated by the best
artists and will literally be a literary
treat of surprising interest and excel
lence. Do not fail to read the opening
chapter next Thursday morning.

him to Shamokin. Spying his brother
editor in his car, MIR. Singerly jumped
aboard, and, pulling Mr.. Smith out to the
platform, introduced him to the assem-.
bled Democrats as my warm personal
friend, the ex- minister to Russia, and an
eloquent exponent of the fallacies Of pro-
tection."
He then proposed three hearty, Demo-
cratic cheers for MY Friend, the Enc
N.Y. which were given with vim that
seemed to fairly shake the station. Be-
Ing urged to make a speech, Mr.. Smith
blushingly thanked the crowd for the APP
plause, and said he was proud to number
among his personal friends such Demo
Gratis as Singerly, Hensel and Harrity.
Thena bevy Of lovely girls surrounded Mr..
SinSerly, and Mr.. Smiths train pulled

genial editors conversion. In fact, he

of Northumberland, beautiful girl, who
promised to preach Democracy to Mr.
Smith so long as they travelled together

No Mud throwing!
From the PHILADELPHIA Times.

iN'A NiiN hhohCibAiiu
There will be general regret that one of
the former officials of Cambria county
has made occasion at Democratic meet
ing in Johnstown for an unworthy attack
upon the personal record of General
Hastings. 1t is creditable to the newspa-
pers of the state that very few of them
have given currency to this unjustitiable
speech, which is alluded to here only to
record the specific condemnation of an
unworthy method of party warfare that
will nowhere be more strongly depre-
Gated than among those who oppose Gen
eral Hastings election upon grounds OF
public policy. He has been long enough
before the people of the state and has
borne himself with sufficient distinction
to be entitled to exemption from mean in
situations and mud singing The battle
and the candidates have set an eX-
ample of dignified courtesy that ought
to be observed by their partisans.

Another SingerIy Explosion.

The Democratic candidate for gov-
vernon of Pennsylvania at Pittsburg
used the following words:
81 want the American flag to be what it
processes to be, the flag Of freedom, the
flag of human liberty, the flag of human
conscience that gives to every man the
right to worship God as he pleases. |
want no skulkers nor towards to creep
under the shadows in the folds of that
flag, when mother Is teaching her lit
tie one It's prayers, to say how their
prayers to the Almighty God shall be
said No secret society, no assassin in
the dark that dares not come out In the
light of day, has any business to interfere.
You men OF Plttsburg, stamp 1t out! Stamp
1t as you would a venomous snake under
your feet, and crush the thing into hell,
where 1t belongs
Mr.. Singerly's meaning Is obscured,
rather than elucidated, by this profane
emphasis. The constitution of Penn
sylvania and Of the United States both
guarantee to each citizen the right of
religious freedom. So far as we have
learned, no amendment has yet been
proposed which would cancel this free
dom. Certainly none is to be voted for
next Tuesday. Why, then, this sudden
fury and wrath? What is the mean
ing of 1t? At what is it aimed?
II Mr.. Singerly will turn to Section
Three of Article One of the constitu-
tion of this commonwealth he will find
these words: "All men have a natural
and indefeasible right to worship AL
mighty God according to the dictates
of their own consciences; no man car
of right be compelled to attend, erect OF
support any place of worship or tC
maintain any ministry, against his
consent; no human authority can, ir
any case whatever, control or inter
fere with the rights of conscience, ant
no preference shall ever be given By
law to any religious establishments
or modes Of worship" This fully Gov
ers the ground; and the next governor
of Pennsylvania, whatever his politics
will have to swear on his sacred hon
or to enforce this provision, as well al
the others. Failing to do so, he coulC
be impeached.
Thus 1t will be seen that Mr.. Singerly'
excitement is as yet uncalled for. AS
part Of Democratic campaigning it Il
out Of place for the reason that ther
are no party lines in the premises TIL
fundamental law of the commonwealth
has already settled this question of re
ligious interference fairly, honorabl.
and finally. The conjuring up by MI
Singerly of any phantom menace to tn
freedom Of worship which has been Il
existence on this continent since tn
formation of the republic Is a bit Q
profane by-play utterly beneath tn
dignity of serious aspirant for guber
Material honors.

For Compulsory Education.

Rev. DR.. Nathan C. Schaeffer, state su-
perintendent of public instruction, says:
I'm my next report to the legislature l
will ask for a school census, which will be
the first step for compulsory education.
! will ask that assessors be instructed to
inquire as to the number of births in
families and in this way the county au-
thorities will know the age of children
and whether they should be in school. |
will recommend that all schools be closed
decreased that there are but few schol-
ars in each school and that the state
provide transportation for the pupils to
the nearest schools"

Mr. PowderIy,s Comparison.

AS rule. The Tribune is opposed to
the introduction into political discus
sion of a candidates private business
contracts and relations. If there be no
general principle behind candidacy
for office, personal criticism of this ma
ture is seldom sufficient substitute.
But in the case of William M. Singerly
abundant provocation has been given
by the lies which Democracy has circu-
lated concerning his opponent, for a
conservative contrast Of his record as
an employer with that of General Hast
ings; and this contrast is well drawn by
our distinguished fellow townsman, Mr..

AUTUMN LEAVES.

Ye colored leaves so bright and red and
That deck the trees in sweet October
days,
How gently in the breeze, ye sere leaves
olden,
DO you in waving streams reflect the
rays
And beauty Of the sun upon your face
AS lightly still ye flutter in your place.
How much alike to human things are ye.
In early spring your infancy appears;
In its spring time the little child we see,
AS free as you, with neither care nor
fears;
It grows as you from day to day in size,
And both are nurtured meath the same
blue skies.
Each in its summertime arrives at length
To the full size nourished by light and
food;
Each in its season comes to the full
strength
OF Joy and form, in bliss and beauty
good;
Each fills place to do the Makers will,
Though neither could the others place
fulfill.
On down we come at length to the sere

You in your beauty dressed for season
brief?
Upon the others head the frost has
cast
A wreath of whiteness where the dark
locks nung-
AIS changed with both since ye were
new and young.
Winter at length draws on apace, and so
The leaves are strewn, In death, upor
the ground.
The child grown old, with winters SHOWS

By times relentless hand shorn of theil

for this purpose from the purlieus of
Philadelphia slumdom.

MEETING OF WOOL GROWERS.
They Protest Against tho Free Admis-
sion of Wool.

They rro,s., Against the Free Adm,s-
sion of Wool.
The Interstate Wool Growers Asso-
alton met at Denver on the 9Th and
9th.
President Wight delivered an ad-
dress containing severe attack on the
tariff. 1t was remarkably strong,
lengthy and comprehensive, and show
ed graphically in what straits the wool
growers of the country would find
themselves if the Wilson bill passed.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported strong set of resolutions de-
nouncing the Wilson bill and the free
trade administration, which would
beggar 1000, 900 wool growers of the
country to enrich few hundred wool
en- manufacturers on the seabosrd.
One resolution declared as follows;
"Resoired, That we would modestly
ask Mr. Cleveland, or Mr. Wilson, or
any of their subservient 'cuckoos to
explain why wool should not come out
of factory as free as it went in.
General Walsen offered an amend
ment denouncing Congressman Pence,
Bell and Coffin of Wyoming for voting
for Wilson bill be added to these res
olutions. A heated discussion fol
lowed, in which Senator Barcla led
the opposition. a vote taken upon it
stood 81 to 10 against it, and it was
laid upon the table.
Governor Wsite addressed the con
vention in response to au invitation.
He denounced the free admission of
wool. He severely criticised the dis
examinations of the railroads.
