ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN
Discussed Before the Members Of the
Lackawanna Republican Club by
William COnneII and Major Warren.

Three Republican clubs, the Lacka-
| wanna, the Junior, and the Young
Mems club, held meetings last night in
| the rooms of the Central club. In the
main room the members of the first
named club assembled. and addresses
were delivered by William Connell and
Major Everett Warren. DR.. w. +.
Conners was the chairman in the alb
sence Of Senator ]. c. Vaughan.
Mr.. Connell spoke only briefly. He
thanked the members for the kindly in
terest they are taking in his candidacy
for congress. He preferred to make
way for Major Warren to talk to them
on the issues of the day. The latter's
address was delivered in an interesting
and entertaining style and it's argu-
ments were put in intelligible FORM He
was very often interrupted by applause
and at the end received O vote of
thanks.
1t is the same gold standard we have
today, he said, as we had four years
ago. and then there was nothing heard
Of it. But, he asserted, the money
question is not the real issue, it is
brought into this campaign to delude
and deceive the voters. Protection to
American industries, the tariff, Is the
real issue.
The steel mills of this city have
worked only two weeks since August
10. That is an instance or the result
Of free trade. These mills have not
been idle because there Is not enough
money to run them. They nave been
idle because there is no market for
What they manufacture. In 1913 the
amount OF money per capita IN this
country was SIS, now 1t is $24 or there
abouts. In the twenty-seven years the

Senator Tillman's Position.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Since his
speech in the Senate, Senator Tillman
'of South Carolina has read numerous
letters from Democrats appealing to
him to state his position, otherwise
his speech in the Senate would be of
great harm to the party. In reply to a
letter from friend in South Carolina,
Senator Tillman writes as follows and
puts himself on record withouta doubt:
Il have your letter of February 5;
and appreciate very much your kind
words of commentator. Ia order to
preserve the unity OF the white Demo
cracy OF South Carolina we cannot
act on your suggestion not to send del
egates to the national convention at
Chicago. We have already captured
the State Democracy and we must go
to Chicago as such, prepared to bolt If
need be and ally ourselves with the
free silver men of the West. It would
be fatal blunder not to send delegates
to the national Democratic convention
and would only be putting it in the
hands of our goldbug enemies Ii the
national convention does not adopt
platform to suit US and put on man-
above suspicion as to his loyalty, we
can then leave the party, but not De-
fore. The effort of every true friend
of silver and financial reform should
be directed 20 having our State Demo.
cratic convention composed solidly Of
men Of their way of thinking, so as to
have it act as unit.

Pearson and Talbert Hitch.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Charlotte Observer says that while
the silver debate was on in the House,
Representative Pearson, Republican
of North Carolina, INDUCED in sneer
at the expenses of South Carolina for
the part which she took in provoking
the war of sesessions. This allusion
angered Mr. Talbert, Democrat, OF
South Carolina, who declared in a
great state of excitement, that South
Carolina was right in the position
which she took.
81 am ashamed of any man who en-
dorses secession or the motives which
lay behind it, Mr.. Pearson said.
II endore it," Mr.. Talbert exclaim
ed, II endorse every word of seces
sion."
'It has been said" Mr.. Pearson
went on, that if hell ever breaks
Loose in this country it will break
loose in South Carolina and so be-
lieve it. .
The spectators in the gallery took
sides in this angry alteration, ap-
plauding now the one and now the

claring that "Sou.h Carolina never

Another BRAY.

LOWELL, Mass. Feb. Pin the
course of his address at the annual en-
campment of the Massachusetts Grand
Army of the Republic to-day, Com
mander Thayer alluded to the dedica-
ton of a Confederate monument in
Chicago on last Memorial Day. He
said: The lesson taught by the mon
ument is an erroneous one; this statue
of Confederate soldier, which they
placed upon it in brass with wasted
body, intended as an implication that
our government maltreated its prison
ers, is standing falsehood and the
dedication Of the memorial upon a
day which. we have set apart for mem
orial services in honor OF our fallen
comrades was an insult to every man
who wore the blue. My protest was
sustained by the posts of this depart
ment and by thousands OF loyal men
all over the country. Do not let them
use the monument at Chicago as an
entering wedge for other cities of the
loyal North. We may join with them
in extolling the heroism of the people
of the South, but we must not be
asked to countenance or TO palpitate
the gigantic crime which they commit
ted in seeking the destruction of the
Union, or to allow attempts to distort
the facts of history to go unrebuked.
If they are as loyal as they say they
are, let them forsake the errors Of the
past and not seek to perpetuate them.

Forty Peopie Drowned.

BRISBANE, Queensland, Feb. 13.-
The steamer Pearl, having on board
so persons, met with a peculiar acci
dent today that resulted in the death
of 40 persons. The Brisbane river
has been greatly swollen by heavy
rains that have fallen lately and the
current is running very strong. The
Pearl was not powerful enough to
stem the current and was swung
broadside on and carried down the
river. Before she could get head way
enough on to carry her out of danger,
she was carried athwart the chains Of
the Lucinda, which was lying atanchor
in the stream. The Pearl struck tho
chains with such force that she was
almost completely cut in two. Then
the current turned her over and she
sank. Before she went down, how
ever, vast column of steam was seen
ascending from her and it was after
wards learned that her steam pipes
had been broken. Many OF those on
her lower deck were fatally scalded
while 40 others were arowaed. The
work of rescuing the survivors was
extremely diliicult, as they we're car.
ried seaward with great rapidity by
the hocd. Thousands gathered about
the scene Of toe disaster and there
were many affecting scenes as the Iiv-
ing and dead were brought ashore.
Some of the bodies will never be re-
covered.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia motion
Of Mr.. Morrill, in the Senate today tc

temporary backset to the bill, to say
the least. The sit was accomplish,

four Republican silver senators-Tell,

Montana, and Dubois Of Idaho. Mr..

Chinese CanuibaIS.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Feb. 12.-Dreadful
stories come from Yokohama Of the
treatment of japanese by Formosa
rebels, some correspondents going SO
far as to say that the Chinese practice
cannibalism. Early in January the
rebels took possession of the village Of
K ing. \ detachment OF japanese
was sent to attack the place and after
considerable opposition succeeded il
driving the rebels off and entering the
village, which was afterward fired.
The correspondent OF the Japan Mail
in speaking of the arrival of the Japa-
nese troops in the village says: THE
troops were horriied at the ghastly
spectacle of nineteen bodies of their
countrymen beheaded and frighfully
mangled. They were railway work
men who had met death at the hands
OF the fends. MANY of your readers
may not be aware of the cannioalism
that exists among the Chinese, altough
thsre is probably not foreigner in
Formosa but knows of the eating Of
portions OF the bodies by savages, or
of the mrrkets in Formosan settle
ments containing human flesh foI' Sc e.
During the outbreak 1881, 50 great
was the loss of life that savage flesh
was brought 10 and sold the same as
pork in the markets. The mutilated
bodies of japanese were found, several
of them disembowe!ed and with their
hearts cut out, also minus their parts.
Some were found who had been
