THE NEXT SPEAKER.
From the Philadelphia Times.

The election Of Representative Boyer
to the speakership seems now to be gen.
orally conceded. His ripe experience as a
presiding officer. and his peculiar fitness
for directing the house of representatives
in an orderly and judicious manner. give
him great advantage in the race for the
chair, and the country combina tion
against the city that was attempted by
several country candidates appears to
have gone to pieces, and most Of those
named as candidates are likely to support
Boyer. He Is very properly supported
without reference to the United States
senator. and chiefly or wholly because he
is admittedly the best-equipped man for
the position. The Importance Of having n
thoroughly competent presiding officer
when legislation of grave moment is to be
enacted. affecting not only the public gen.
orally. but the Republican party. Is well
appreciated by the members Of the house,
and that has given Boyer such q decided
lead in the contest for the chair that he
is now likely to be nominated by q una
nimous vote.

1t will be perceived from this table
that in 1892 there was a difference in
the total Harrison and Cleveland vote
of only about $4,000 in favor Of the
former, but this year the Republican
vote is 1,574,2sS larger than the Demo-
cratic vote. The Democratic vote in
these twenty-three states decreased
Ill $50 in four years while the Repub-
lican vote increased 1.427,25l in the
same time. Notwithstanding the fact
Populists his vote fell more than 100, 900
below the Democratic vote of 1892 and
his candidacy aided in increasing the
Republican vote nearly 100000
Another point of view for purposes
OF comparison is assumed by the Chi
cago TimesHerald. which says that
Major Mckinley's majority of 81 in the
electoral college gives no adequate idea
of the overwhelming character of his
victory. 1T is true" it adds, that the
states carried by Mr.. Bryan represent
a greater territorial area, but, fortun-
ately, We do not elect presidents by
acres. If we did Texas would have
more voice in the selection Of our chief
executive than all the New England
states and New York, PENNSYLVANIA
and Ohio combined. The states that
threw their electoral votes to Bryan
comprise 1,72s.5Oj square miles, while
those carried by Mckinley represent
only e62.7s5 square miles. Leaving out
geographical area Major McKinley's
victory assumes magnificent propor-
tions. The states voting for Mckinley
represented forty-five millions of peo-
pie: for Bryan twenty-five millions.
The taxable wealth of the Nc
kinley states is over 75 per
cent. of the total wealth of the
United states. This wealth is not rep
resented by money and stocks and
bonds alone, but comprises the great
industrial. manufacturing and COM
mercial investments of the union.

has determining weight in our concep-
tions of'a true Democracy, the people

Protection for Bakers,

Among the labor bills which aw to be
brought before the next legislature Is
one TO regulate the conditions Of bake
shops that seems to possess several
elements Of merit. IT requires that no
employer shall force his men to work
confectionery establishment. more than
six days a week. the week to begin
on Sunday. not before o'clock p. M.
and continue until corresponding
hour Saturday evening. All buildings
occupied as biscuit. bread, pie or cake
bakeries shall be drained and plumbed
in manner conducive to the en-
ployes' health and proper ventilation
must be provided. 1t states that no
cellar shall be used as a bakery unless
the proprietor shall have previously
complied with the act. Every room
used for the manufacture of flour must
have an impermeable floor constructed
Of cement or Of tiles. laid in cement,
or wood, properly saturated with lin
seed oil The walls shall be wainscoted
or plastered. and in the former case
must be whitewashed once every three
months. No domestic animals, except
ing cats, shall be allowed in a room
used as a bakery, or where flour is
stored. Flour and other meal food pro-
ducts shall be kept dry and in a clean
place.
Every bakery shall be provided with
a suitable outbuilding located suf-
ficient distance from the work room.
The sleeping places of the employees
must be kept separate from where meal
products are manufactured, or bread
baked. No employer shall knowingly
permit a person whose lungs are af-
fected or who has scrofula or any SIM
liar disease to work in his establish
ment. The proposed law makes the
violation of any Of these requirements
inisdemeanor punishable by fines and
the number of offenses. 1t requires the
appointment Of three deputy factory
inspectors at a salary of $1,000 each per
year, to- see that the law is obeyed.
Owners of bakeshops must have or
dered alterations made within thirty
days after notice is given. The act is
to go into effect thirty days after its
passage and a copy is to be posted in
each workroOm of every bakery or
confectionery establishment in the
state
While these provisions are designed
primarily for the protection Of the la
Dor employed in the baking trade it
is clear that they would inure TO the
benefit of consumers also. and the de-
mand for their enactment will have
general sanction.

1t will be seen by the above table
that the delegations from the counties
of Philadelphia and Allegheny will
comprise more than one third of the en-
tire convention, so that in the unlike
ly event Of Philadelphia and Pittsburg
being solidly united in the interest Of
a candidate. 1t would go a long way
toward controlling the nomination. The
Crow-Ashbridge and the Quay Magee
fights had the effect Of bringing out an
unprecedented vote in both cities, and
of thereby increasing their combined in
fluence in the next two state conven-
tions.

In announcing to his congregation

In announcing to his congregation
that he would preach on Thanksgiving
Day, one of our city pastors on Sunday
expressed the hope that all the churches
in this city would be filled with
thankful people. There is abundant
refGon this year for thanksgiving to
theaiiver Of all good. Threatened dam
gers have been averted. and Thanks
giving Day, 1896. will be a time when
the Christian pulpit may, with great
propriety. inculcate lessons both OF
piety and patriotism.

Candidates for position on the next
Republican state ticket are taking time
by the forelock. President of the State
Republican League Isador Sobel. Of
Erie, who is credited with having de-
feated Joe Sibley the last time he ran
for congress, is mentioned for state
treasurer. and Representative Marshall
of Allegheny may. it is said, be a
candidate for auditor general. Both
are splendid Republicans and If NOM
mated would make strong candidates.

The Next State Convention.

In consequence of the large increase
in McKinley's vote over past votes. the
next Republican, state convention Will
have 1853 delegates. gain of 60 over the
last two conventions. The following
table shows the number of delegates to
which each county in the state will
be entitled in the convention of 1897,
under the Mckinley vote. with the
number on the basis of the Hastings
vote, to show where there are increases:

In the opinion of Hon. Thomas b.
Reed. 1--WE have tried to assimilate those
from abroad too rapidly, and in offer
ing them so generous asylum against
oppression we have run some risk o!
oppression by alien ideas ourselves"
Without disputing the justice Of this
general proposition 1t needs to be said
that in localities like our own the effort
to assirnilate "those from abroad
hasn't yet become strenuous.

The Official Returns,

The Philadelphia Press has secured
the official totals for the recent cleo
tion in the twenty-three states which
Mckinley carried, and makes an inter-
esting comparison between the vote in
them of three weeks ago and that of
1892. as follows:

The Republican Programme.

The recent alleged interview between
Ferd w. Peck, of Chicago, and Chair
man Hanna relative to the policy of the
Mckinley administration toward the
working classes has been repudiated
by both gentlemen and the correspond
ent at Cleveland, O., who gave 1t to the
United Associated Presses has been
discharged. 1t will be remembered
that it committed the incoming execu-
tive to demagogical programme OF
grand-stand playing to the discontent-
ed elements Of society, mainly with a
view to weakening Bryan.
The denial of this sensational inter-
view does not mean that the Republic
can party intends to ignore just claims
for legislative relief or that it will not,
in the future as in the past. strive to
promote by honest ana Judlcious meth
DDS the greatest good for the greatest
number. 1t stands opposed to trusts
wherever trusts antagonize the public
welfare. 1t is committed to the princi-
pie of arbitration. whether Of interna-
tiOnal disputes or of differences be-
tween employers and the employed. 1t
favors such an adjustment Of the tar
iff schedules as will give to wage
earners and farmers, as well as to
manufacturers, control Of the Ameri-
can commercial field In freedom so
far as may be from hurtful outside COM
petition, and by means Of reciprocity
it hopes to extend our markets In for
eign lands and thereby add to the
chances for the remunerative employ
ment Of home labor. 1t wants an
American merchant marine. consisting
of homemade ships carrying home
grown crops or the products Of home
industries. In short. 1t is for the fullest
American opportunity consistent with
justice and equity, but not for monop-
oily or favoritsm. To this 1t was al
ready committed. and the public by its
vote has entrusted 1t with the author
ity necessary for the redemption Of its
pledge.
Further than this no self-raspecting
party leader would care to go. Par
ties are judged not by promises but
by performance. The Republican party
is quite willing to let its work during
the next four years speak for it.

Much has been said about the neces .
sity OF keeping gold and silver at par.
This should be done, but the "honest
money" adherents should also remem-
Der that there is another arity that
should also be maintained which is OF
vital Importance to the producing
class, to the farmers especially, and
that is parity between money and
products. No money is honest that
appreciates in value to the ext emit OF
doubling the purchasing power in a
comparatively fewyears whether it is
go called "hone>t gold" or "despised
silver" 1t needs no arguments to
convince the farmers and the pro-
ducing class of the fact that the pur-
chasing powe' of our present money
has doubled. What were your farms
worth when you gave your notes for
them. Add the permanent improve
ments and ask yourselves what they
are worth today, how many bushel :
of wheat, oats, barley, rye and corn.
or how many hogs. horses or cows it
would have taken TO pay those notes
when given, and figure up the number
that it would take to pay them today.
Every farmer and property owner has
been robbed of the half of his proper
ty while the vast for unes of the mon
ey owners have been doubled by the
present money system. We cannot
see wherein a money that will rob the
poorer classes for the benefit of the
great money brokers OF the east Is
honest.
