SEVERAL Republican contempories,
says the Harrisburg Patriot, with the re-
suits of the campaign of last year still
buzzing in their ears, incline themselves
to believe, that the result of the election
this year is a foregone conclusion that
it was ''useless to nominate Democrats, F"
and all the rest of the stuff often poured
out before presumably interested pub
lie. There was time when 1t was
| taken as readily as arguments, facts and
figures, but that time has departed.
There will never again, in this state
be a majority given a Republican candi-
date like that cast for Hastings last year.
1t was larger than anybody deemed it
would be, but what of that? 1t has no
connection with the campaign of this
year The big majority for the Repub-
lican ticket of last year has done the
people not particle of good. Not one
promise, indirectly made to the people
last year-none being made directly
| has been kept. The Standard Oil com
| pany got from the legislature and the
administration exactly what Democrats
| for years prevented 1t getting. The ap>
portionment which the constitution de-
clares shall be made every ten years was
DELAYED by the present leader of the Re
publican party for reasons which fit in
well with his astigmatic PERCEPTION OF
better politics. The legislative halls
were turned into a market for votes,
where any man could buy any kind OF
legislation and where legislation was
bought with the most shameless disre
| gard of public decency. The most dis
graceful deals and dickers have been
made on all sides, from high to low, fol
pecuniary and political profit ever since
the present administration took up the
cares and emoluments of office.
The majority of last year indicate:
nothing. And if it did, the platform Of
Quay would rob it of all its meaning
showing as this does that the party is il
need OF self-refOrmatiOn. The people
know very well that no party will reform
itself. The people must do this. Hence
the men who say it was useless to nomi
nrte a Democratic ticket speak hollow
words Republicans are disgusted with
the recent legislature and with the lead
ership which n ade the recent fight fol
chairmanships the most desperate affair
ever known in Pennsylvania politics
Without discussing the merits of plat
forms, the chances ought to be favor
| able to Democratic nominees this year

Ills wife Received the Bullets.

Wheeling, September 30.-One of the
most sensational tragedies that ever oc-
CURED in West Virginia is reported
from Braxton county, on the line of the
West Virginia and Pittsburg railroad
The three principal actors are Thomas
Hinkle, a prominent and wealthy
young farmer, living few miles from
Sutton, his wife and j. o. Boon, a
county official.
For some time past Boon had been
paying attention to Mrs. Hinkle, and
their conduct had become a matter OF
gossip among the nei hbors. The talk
at last reached the ears of Mr.. Hinkle
Last night Hinkle entered his house
and found the couple there, and imme.
dlately drew a revolver. Before he
could fire Boon escaped, but Mrs Hinkle
received the contents of the gun in her
breast and will die.
Hlnkle mounted horse, rode to Sut
ton and surrendered himself to the Sher
iff. He is now in jail awaiting the re
suit of his wife's wounds. She cannot
possibly recover.

The l'eary Expedition.

New York, October Lieutenant
Pearv's colored servaut-Matt Benson
and Prof l. l.. Dyche, of the Kansas
State University, arrived from the Artic
regions this morning on the st samship
Sylvia.
Prof. Dyche, while reticeut as to the
details of the expedition, admitted that
it had been a failure He declared that
Lieutenant Peary ad not managed to
forge much farther north than on his
previous expedition.
He would not give any reason for the
failure other than lack of food in Lieu
tenant Peary's camp. When driven
back on his first attempt to reach the
North Pole, Lieutenant Peary decided to
press forward again in 1894.
He had buried food IN the ice, but
when he came to look for it he could
not locate the cache. He was obliged
to kill his dogs one by one and feed
them to the others. Dyche says he and
his party livedlon walrus meat when they
could get it.
The Professor states emphatically tha
the party would never have reached
America had it not been that when jus
in the verge of starvation Peary and
Henson found some musk oxen, anC
| this saved their lives.
Professor Dyche told number of in
| teresting incidents about hunting walrus
meeting icebergs, and finding meteor
| ties.
He brought back on the Sylvia abou
four thousand specimens of Artic flor
and fauna. He also brought back 81
dogs. The specimens will be divided
between the Museum of NaturSl Histor
Central Park, and the Kansas Universi

THE tariff of 1894 Is an imperfect
measure. 1t is not fairly comparable
with the tariff Of 1916; but, like that
taIiff, it is the beginning of the move
ment toward unembarrassed trade. 1t
marks the second time in the history OF
the country when the friends OF the pro
tective system have been fought to a
standstill. 1t may be possible that the
Republicans will nominate William Nc
Kinley and try if they cannot once
more fool the people with the Old cry;
but it is doubtful. They hesitate, and
they are more than likely to initiate the
policy of the Wings in 1852 and lay
away protection" among the broken
china of politics.

The grand jury of the District of Col,
umbia on Monday concluded their la
bOrs In somewhat startling manner by
officially submitting to the court writ
ten recommendation for the establish.
ment of a whipping post for the pun
ishment OF wife beaters and petty thieves.
The Recommendation was submitted by
the foreman and was signed by him and
fifteen other members of the grand jury.
In directing the clerk to file the paper,
Judge Bradley said that he agreed that
the establishment of whipping post
there would be productive of good results
IN some instances, but the courts could
not establish 1t, hence congress should
be applied to, and he advised the mem
bers of the grand jnry to move in that
direction

THE Pittsburg Dispatch, Republican,
says: For the first time in many
months the national treasury shows a
balance on the right side of the ledger
During the month of September treasu
ry receipts exceeded expenditures by S.
175, ,040, and there is rejoicing at Wash
ington and some other places. Aside
from politics the condition at the be-
ginning Of October Is encouraging.
Gold exports need not be seriously feared
as drain upon the reserve since re-
ceipts and expenditures have about
reached balance. The teal drain was
due to the policy of the treasury depart
ment in passing out legal tenders, ex-
changed for gold, to meet the expendi
lures ordered by congress.

As EVIDENCE OF the danger threaten
ing American manufacturers and work
ingmen by agitation against the new
tariff the official returns of trade show
that the imports of free raw materials OF
industry IN the seven months ended In
July amounted in value to S109, l22. 554,
against S62. 277. .39S in the corresponding
period of 1894. This enormous increase
in the imports Of the crude materials Of
manufactures bears emphatic testimony
to the rapid growth of American indus
tries in the new era of freedom that IS
opened to them. Raw material consls's s OF
of wool, hides, hemp, flax, lute, wood ana
mauv other articles which cannot be oo'

them as in the Mckinley tariff their
| importation is obstructed and American
manufactures consequently languish.
While the threats of the protectionists
are mainly directed against free wool,
| their policy threatens all free raw mate
rials. There is as much reason for I'M
posing high protective duties on hides,
skins, flax, hemp, lumber, etc, as on
wool 1t is not forgotten that when the

out the country and OF the shoemaker
in Massachusetts drove the Republican:
in congress from their purpose. Hide:

ties on wool were heavily increased
Many sincere protectionists deplored th'
inconsistency of a measure that taxe'
the raw materials of the wooden manu-
features and give the manufacturers o
leather goods their materials free
These honest piOtectionists could nc
see why the hide of an OK should not b

If the Republicans obtain sufficien
power to react the wool duties, as the

them to restore the duties on hides, haX

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The leaders of both political parties

election on the 9Th of Novemb ber. what
they base their hopes on Is not alto
gether apparent, az the massss or
neither party have, up Ito this uime.n2n-
Tested any interest in the campaign.
The candidates have been travelling
through the country aud the county
committees have held meetings ~
which Favorable reports" were given
by representatives from the several dis
trlcts, Gbut 1t is apparent that very
light vote will be polled by both polti-
cal parties. The Democratic leaders APP
near to be more interested I'm Mr.. Nc
Lem. their candidate for Judge. tfdm
in the balance Of the ticket. The Demo-
cretic organs ore dwelling all their at
tacks at Judge Bennett. McISean's oppo-
nent The fact remains, however. that
large numbers of Conservative Demo-
Gratis will vote for Judge Bennett be-
cause they are opposed to making the
Common Pleas bench solidly Demo-
cratic, as At would be IL Bennett were
defeated. Whether the vote be light or
heavy, the contest between Stanton and
Martin. the opposing nominees for
sheriff. will undoubtedly be close.
Each possesses elements of strength
that will have weight and eigrfficance
at the polls. Some of Stanton's sup
porters are endeavoring to injure Mar
tin I'm the agricr5tural districts by
arouslng nationality and religious pref
udices against him. This h an old
dodge and will not be likely to sue
ceed.
