any other State in the Union. The
early settlement Of the province under
the enthusiastic leadership of William
Penn, the conflicts Of the numerous sects
and natiOnaities which made up the
population, the horrors, massacres. and
eXcitements Of the French and Indian
wars, the fierce struggles Of political par

of the movement for the liberty Of all the
Colonies depended on the position taken
by the Keystone State. as it was called.
the same struggle repeated at the time of
the adoption of the National Constitution

baltimore, July 29.--darmony pre-
vailed at the Democratic state con-

onstrateu that United States Senator
German still has his hand ON the lever
that controls the organization.
The candidates nominated by the
convention were selected by him, and
the resolutions adopted were of his
inspiration. AS chairman OF the com
mittee on resolutions, he read the plat
form end read in such way as to in
dictate he knew almost without look
ing at It.
AT his suggestion one OF the candi-
datess for comptroller withdrew when
his nomination seemed assured and
arother was taken up by the conven-
tion, and at his request both gold and
silver men waived their convictions
end voted to adopt a platform that de-
clares for bim etalism, but is silent as
to the vital question OF ratio"

General HarrisOn's Book.

The Indianapolis Journal prints
this interesting story concerning
eX- President Harrison's forthcom-
ing book: General Harrison has
just completed the reyisions of his
articles which have appeared in
The Ladies' Home journal, max
ing extended notes and additions
to'them. There is a little story in
connection with both articles and
publication. When the arrange
ment for the articles was made
with General Harrison by Edward
w. Box, editor of The Ladies' He me
Journal, the General was paid for
them, with the understanding that
when they were put into book form
the magazine was to share the
royalties accruing therefrom. Mr..
Box, however, OF his own accord,
generously released General Har.
rison from paying him any royal
ity, FOR the reason, as he states,
that by the publication of the arti-
cles by General Harrison the sub.
scriptlon list Of his magazine was
enlarged many thousands. The
profits to The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal were more than the publishers,
anticipated, and in view ofthis Mr..
Box asks nothing further. General
Harrison placed the disposition of
his book in Mr.. BOk's hands. The
best offer came to the editor from
the Scribners, and to them Mr.. Box
gave the book for his distinguished
contributor General Harrisoa's
revision OF the book has just been
completed, and the volume will
appear in the autumn.

the recess sppoint ment the bargain
that put Powderly on the stump
for Mckinley has been lived up to.
If the Senate declines to let him
stay there, Mr., Mckinley will have
another good appointment at his
disposal.
Representative Prince,o III. may
find 1t difficult to square himself
with the editor of the republican
organ at Moline. He had endorsed
the editor for the postmastersllip of
the town, and, according to the
rule in vogue at the Post Office de-
partment, that endorsements should
have been equivalent to appoint
ment. But this week Mr.. Prince
changed his endorsement from the
republican editor to George III. Nc
Kinley, a nephew of Mr., Mckinley,
lie eays he was vii tually compelled
to change his endorsement. and
gives the following as the cenver-
sation that took place at the White
House between himself and Mr..
Mckinley:
Mr., McK-"I wish you would en-
dorse my nephew for the place, Mr..
Prince" Mr.. P.-"But, Mr.. Presi-
dent, l have already endorsed
Eastman (the editor,) and ifI go
back on him now 1 will be held re-
sponsible politically" Mr.. Mex
"Well, say to them that you en-
dorsed him at my request" Mr..
Prince says there was nothing else
for him to do after that but to en-
dorse Mr.. McKinley's nephew, but
he may find that the editor thinks
differently, and if he cannot satisfy
him in some way he may also find
that he has to pay a big price for
having obliged the President.
A study of Gar Reeds conf
mittees of the House, announced
just before adjournment, shows
that Pennsylvania and New York,
with nine chairmahships each, got
one-third of the fifty-four chairmen
of House committees, while twenty
three states got no chairmen at all.
The Eastern States got twenty
eight chairmanships. When it is
remembered that the legislation of
the House is practically in the
hands of the chairmen of com.
mittees this division is significant
of the controlling power.
II proof were needed that Mr..
Mckinley was virtually compelled
by Campaign promises to send that
currency commission special mes
sage to Congress it is easily furn-
shed by the positive statement of
prominent republican Senators
that no attempt will be made to
push the currency commission bill,
which was jammcd through the
House, to vote in the Senate.
1t has further become known that
Speaker Reed would not have al
owed the bill to get through the
House had he not been certain
hat it was TO be allowed to die in
he Senate. When Mr.. Mckinley
has paid all his campaign debts he
nay possibly do something because
lie believes in it, but it seems that
here are still a lot of those debts
unpaid.
