from the Evening Telegraph
No representative of PHILADELPHIA in the
legislature ever more acceptably per-
formed the duties assigned to him than
Mr. Penrose. After serving one term in
the house he was promoted to the senate,
to which body he has been elected thSee
times, over which he had presided, and in
which he Is recognized as a leader of uu-
doubted merit and strength.
His contest Mt the last session against
the public Buildings commission and all
the great power it was able to exert was
but an incident to his legislative career.
Senator Henrose has not been "A one
sided or narrow minded legislator He has
not been forgatful of his duty to the whole
stale and do his party, yet he has made it
ms special business to promote, as far as
possible, the welfare of the people of this
city. No candidate for any important
nomination has heretofore commanded
such hearty Endorsement from those rep
resenting all phases of public opinion.
Represents Youth and Chivalry.
From the Evening Star.
senator Penrose represents the youth
the chivalry, the education, and the high
est ambitions of the Republican party. A
member of one of our oldest families, and
Philadelphian to the heart strings, by
other ties he represents whatever is repre-
sentative of the achievement and splendor
Of Philadelphia. He graduated with honor
Mt Harvard. His private life is without
blame and his public life teens with
achievement. His battle against the pub
lie buildings maelstrom of squandered
money was commendable civil effort
His belief in the sanctity of the American
sabbath and the integrity of the Ameri-
can school bring him close to the American
heart.
His declaration in favor of high license
and favoring stern hand upon the rum
traffic will commend him to the support
of those who see in this liquor issue the
one more than all Others pregnant with
evil.

Senator Dubois Of Idaho then de-
msnded a separate rOll-call on the ma
jority report. The vote stood 8l2 for the
gold standard and ITO against. On this
vote John Randolph allied himself with
the four Kansans above named, and
Kansas cast five votes against to thirteen
for the plank.
Then Senator Cannon of Utah took
the platform and read protest prepared
by silver men. This will be published
later. After he had read it Senator
Cannon and Senator Teller shook hands
with Chairman Thurston and, joined bys
large number Of silver men, they marched
out of the convention. The convention
broke into storm while this scene was
being enacted. Some OF the cheering
was for silver, some for the nerve and
honesty OF purpose OF the bolters, but
most Of it was from the rabble which
congregates at such conventions and
cheers the action OF the majority regard
less OF what 1t may be. Those who left
the convention were the entire delegs-
tions from Colorado and Idaho, four Of
the six from Nevada, three of the six
from Utah, Congressman Hartman of
Montana and United States Senator Pet
tigrew of South Dakota.

The Oregon Election.

The election returns In Oregon, even
after the redeemers got through Jug
Cling the figures, do not make a bad
showing for the Popullsts. In one
county in the First Congressional dis
trict Vsnderburg (POp.) loses 1875 votes
by the throwing out Of seven precincts
In which 1t is stated that the Judges
were not sworn. Each one of the pre-
cinCts thrown out went POpullst. In
another county where the POpulists
are organized an attempt was made to
manipulate the returns, but the idea
was abandoned when the Republicans
were assured that robust neck.tle
party would be organized II the re-
turns were interfered wish. Most Of
the alleged "errOrs" and Corrections"
were made In counties where the Pop
ulists were not we'll organized.
The Congressional returns as now
given out are IS follows: First dis
trict, Tongue Rep.), 1885; Wander
burg (Pop), 1921; Myers, 1880; Chris.
tenson, 1856. Second district, Ellis,
(Rep.), 1888; Quinn (PopJ, 1913;
Northrup, 1862; Bennett, 6,922; Nc
Kerchner, 800. These figures show
the majority against the Republicans
In the First district to be 1852, al
though the Republican candidate wins
by a plurality of "a. In the Second
district the majority against the Re-
publlcsns Is 1892, that party casting
about one.third Of the total vote, al
though the nominee of that party wins
by plurality of 462. Oregon Popu-
lists have, on the Congressional matter,
cast 351S per cent. of the entire vote,
the Republicans 36A per cent. and the
balance is divided among Democrats
and Prohlbitionlsts. Oregon Popu-
lists have won q great victory, al
though shrewd schemers and msnip-
ulators will place the certificates Of
election In other hands.

LONDON, June 20.-The Finan-
cial News in an article on the re-
publican national convention of
st. Louis, says:
The gold primary's ultimatum at
st. Louis is a great come down. II
accepted 1t will commit the repub-
lican party to following slavishly
in the path Of Cleveland. English
investors ought not to buy Ameri-
can securities, simply because one
party has annexed principles
which failed when practiced by the
other. Probably the accession to
office OF the republicans will facili-
tate the keeping on a parity OF sill
yer and gold, because the tariff
will tend to curtsil imports and SO
reduce the necessity for gold ship

BEEyILLE BUZZINGS.
A Vigorous Kick Against the Statis-

A Vigorous Kick Against the Statis-
tics Commissioner.
Light Special.
Beeville, Tex, June 10.-The eighth
annual report of the Agricultural Bn-
reau of the department of Agriculture,
Insurance Statistics and History, for
1894, which has recently been issued.
while highly complimentary to the de-
parhnent and filled up with valuable
statistics, can also be. said to abound
in inaccuracies and sterotyped data
set in type years ago. With the meag-
er appropriation at hand for the prose
cutiOn of the work, no doubt the very
best results possible have been accom-
plished, and this correction is not to
be considered a criticism, bnt 1t rs
rather thought to correct statistical
statements which might be mislead-
ing. These errors are found to occur
in the report of Bee county, and will
perhaps, apply to the other counties
embraced in the report. If all readers
of the report understood the conditions
forming the basis of the same the me-
cessity for correction would not be so
great. For instance, this county's
population is given at 3,716 and the
population of Beeville at 1927, but
this is according to the census of 1890.
Now, If the readers were thoughtful
enough to compare the scholastic
population, figured at the low estimate
of five inhabitants to one child In the
scholastic age, with the above census
statistic, much more correct and fav-
orable result would be arrived at. The
population of 1890 does not by any
means indicate the town Of Beeville
or the county of Bees population OF
1894, but rather the estimate to be
made upon the scholastic population
of that year would be the proper fig-
ures. The total school population Civ
en- in the report is 1893, multiplied by
five gives us a population of 1895.
The total number Of pupils enrolled
in the Beeville city school, as put
down for the same year, was 53S, and
five times this number gives the town
a population of 2,690.
Other discrepancies worthy of men,
ton are only one railroad, the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass, Is mentioned,
while Bee county has two roads pass
ing through the center of the county.
the s. A. & A. p. from north to
south, while the G.. w. T. & p. reaches
Beeville, the center of the county,
from the east.
The report gives 80 merchantile es-
adjustments in the county, while in
fact we have over 100.
AS it is now too late to make neces-
sary corrections in the repor.. itself, it
may be well for those seeking ''up
to date" Information about any county
in the state to consult other sources of
information for accuracy on some of
the topics named>

rial district is safely Republican on a
party vote and most any good Repub-
licap of fair standing ought TO be able
to turn down Perry Lewis
There is reason to believe that IL
the Republicans get together and
nominate a straight county ticket, the
Democrats would do likewise. With
such assured opposition to the Big
Six, the Democrats, who are not con-
trolled by the Big Six, would call
mass meeting and name a straight
ticket and the Big Six would have to
break up and get in line or get caught
between two straight party tickets.

WEST END NOTES.

West End, June 20.-The residents
of the banner suburb of San Antonio
are feeling rather blue just now; they
are on the ''haw side of their mental
equilibrium" as a certain well known
editor would say, and they don't
know exactly where they are TAT"
The fire Friday night which destroyed
the beautiful Home villa and two cot
tages has knocked them somewhat
out of line and they no longer pursue
the even tenor of their way, and
sleep, but rather keep one eye open
and a nostril to the windward. The
fire has set them to thinking very Sc
riously and to wondering what they
are paying taxes for. The tax rate
for West Enders is as high as for
those in the centre of the city and all
they receive from the city are six arc
lights and q public school for small
children. None Of the streets are
kept in repair and a crosswalk can't
be secured, even after 1t is ordered
put down by the council. West End,
however, is no worse off than the
other suburbs.
The families of DR.. Hayes and Mr..
Zeigler left Friday for a hunting and
fishing trip of two weeks duration. on
the Guadalupe.
The st. Louis college closes its ses-
sion on Tuesday. The boys were on

We are faithfully welded to the great
principle of protection by every tie OF
party fealty and affection, and it is
dearer to US now than ever before
We contend for honest money; for a
currency of gold, silver and paper with
which to measure our exchanges that
snail be as sound as the. Government and
as untarnished as its honor; and to that
end we favor bimetallism and demand
the use of both gold and silver as stand
ard money, either in accordance with a
ratio to be fixed by an international
agreement if that can be obtained or;
under such restrictions and provisions
to be determined by legislation, as will
secure the maintenance of the PARTIES Of
values of the two metals. so that the
purchasing and debt-paying power of the
dollar, whether of silver gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal.
The people of Ohio take satisfaction
in the expressions coming from every
section OF our common country of pop
ular approval of their distinguished fell
low-citizen. William Mckinley, the great
advocate Of protection, who has all his
life stood for America, its factories, its
farms, its fresides finds his reward
in the confidence and affection of the
people, whose interests have been his
constant care. The Republicans of Ohio
pledge him anew the absolute, loyal and
unswerving support of his State at the
National Convention, and instruct the
delegates chosen to represent Ohio to re-
deem this pledge."-Ohio State Republi-
