PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
PROMISE OF THE MOST INTERESTlN"
CAMPAIGN IN THE FAST
THE REV DIR SWALLOWS SUDDEN RISE TO

The campaign in Pennsylvania this year prom
iscs to be more inter estng than any other poIl'
teal contest in the East There may not be-
much excitement. but the conditions are su'h
90 N attract attention not only az home but
outside the state also. In some respects IN" SIT
nation Of 1sS2 and 1890 will be repeated. but
renewal OF the exciting campaigns OF those
wears is not anticipated. The voters appear To
be educated already, and not 10 be waiting Tor
instructions as to how they shall cast their bal
lots The interest in the war will also prevent
unusual political demonstrations. but it does not
appear that il will have any other influence on
the campaign or It's results.
SO far there have been foUr state conventions
and one informal State meeting for the nomina-
ton Of candidates for Governor but there are
only two candidates now in the field. They are
Silas G. Swallow and William a. Stone The
Rev Dr. Swallow nominated first by body
Of men representing ali parties, who asked him
to run for Governor on the platform OF honest
government He next nominated by the
regular Prohibition party. which, of course,
placed him on a platform opposed to the liquor
traffic. Later he was nominated by the Popu-
lists who embodied their peculiar theories in a
third platform for DIR. Swallow 10 stand on; and
finally he nominated by the Liberal party,
which combines advocacy of free silver coinage
with prohibition. So ~ is the candidate OF as
yariegated q set Of men and principles as any
man ever represented.
DR.. Swallow came into public prominence "A
little oVo. a year ago. He is approaching sixty
years Of age. having been born or March .. lS'3.

public schools of that neighborhood. In the Wy

awhile and then turned his attention TO the
law and began to fit himself for the bar. He
might have made a fortune and gained Local
fame in the legal profession had hc not con
cluded that he was better fitted for the ministry
than for the bar. With his divinity course fin

That the flag Of the United States
should be carried amid acclamations
through the streets Of London, side by
side with the flag of the United King
dom. is an incident to which all for
eign nations will give due attention.
For all purposes of peace, England
and America are one nation, with one
literature; for all purposes of war, 1t
may be they will go on through the
ages without any very material alli-
ance. They will obtain little but
sympathy from US, and we shall get
little but sympathy from them. But
even the sym pathy of another nation
in great crisis is no small thing and
that we withheld it at the time OF the
war Of secession is now always counted
one Of the disasters of our later ma
tional story. The union of the Anglo
Saxon race is now growing apacei in
another generation it will include
thousands of Germans and Scandina-
vians in America, whose children are
Learning to speak but one language
the language of England-and
thousand of Irishmen the whole world
over, who will have forgotten the just
wrongs of their fathers in the common
lows of literary inheritance which
makes every Englishman as proud OF
the names of Goldsmith and Burke as
of his own Milton and Johnson.

The New Maine.

The first plates of forged steel
which will form the keel of the new
battleship Maine has been laid at
Cramps shipyard. From now until
the completion of the vessel 1000
workmen will be employed upon the
battleship. 1t will take at least fiji
teen months before the new Maine is
ready to launch.
Nearly 500 feet long, and able to
steam eighteen knots an hour without
great strain on her boilers, the big
craft is expected when comepleted, TO
attract the attention of all maratime
powers. Her sides will be protected
by twelve inches of steel and her cor
ners will be so rounded that even the
best aimed shot will with difficulty
damage her.
The Maine will mount 4 twelve
inch and ID six inch guns in her main
battery, and IS rapid fire guns of sec
ondary outfit The big guns will be
forty calibers long, which means forty
times the diameter of the bore and
forty feet for the twelve inch guns.
The great craft which is to replace
the wrecked vessel OF the Havana har.
Dor disaster, will be New Highlander
only in name. She will be christened
Maine, but every beam and every
plate of her fortress-like sides will be
a product OF Pennsylvania. Moreover,
she was designed here at home, and
so interested are the builders in the
work that none but the most skilled
Philadelphia workmen will be en-
trusted with her construction.

THE NEW YEARS BELLS.

Departing yearl hear thy parting knei
sound through the midnight air,
As blithely as if wedding bells
Called for surcease of care.
Twas ever thus in human life,
Since man took note Of years,
We hail the coming time with hope, =
And strive to dry our tears.
But there are mem ries will not die,
Griefs that are half sublime,
Years but allay, and still the heart
Throbs for the olden time.
We think of friends Of other years,
Some dear voice stilled forever.
These lapse of years can ne'er efface,
Nor time from US e'er sever.
Still jocund rings the New Years bells,
AS if there were no sorrow;
IT'S better so, for hope is good,
Whate'er betide tomorrow.

Lewiston Journal.

The failure of the Dingley law TO
substantiate the doleful predictions Of
free trade critics that its enactment
would restrict the sale of American
goods abroad, seems to excite far less
attention from those usually voluble
gentlemen than one might reasonably
suppose.
In those early days Of opposition to
the enactment of the Dingley law
there was one country, Argentina,
whose commercial relations were to
be most injuriously affected by the
Dingley law; for, at one stroke, du-
ties were imposed on wool and raw
hides, both Of which under the Wilson
law had been admitted tree. The cry
of the free traders was that budding
trade was being nipped; that frost
was engendered in land where all
was ready to blossom into fraternal
relations with the United States.
Nothing could possibly avail to con.
tinue the old amicable trade relations.
But yet. in the first fourteen months
! OF the active operation of the Dingley
tariff the fact so confounds the the
cries of the free traders that silence Is
indeed golden on their part and
speech but the confession of debased
currency. In fact, the record of these
months has entirely confounded all
the predictions OF these prophets Of
evil, for although American purchases
have decreased in the first nine
months OF 1898 compared with the
corresponding months Of 1897 from
50, SIS, 17o to 81, 226,9 our s., I54,-
$50 to S., 827, 638.

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
wonld be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease. one which requires a real
blood remedy--something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago / was taken with in
fiammatory rheumatism, which, though
mild at first, became gradually so in
tense that was for weeks unable to
walk. tried several prominent physi-
+ clans and took their treatment faith

relief In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to

patent medicines, but none relieved me
Upon the advice of friend | decided tC

A Curious Literary Career.
New York Herald.

When you passed in the street a
telegraph messenger creeping like a
snail, with nose buried in a hall. dime
novel, you may have noticed that this
was one of the endless series produc-
ed by "Old Sleuth."
Perhaps you sighed at the thought
of large pait of the rising generation
forming its ideals of life and conduct
on that sort of literature, and pictured
to yourself the author as some impe-
cunious fellow in a hall bed room la
boriously writing such stories for I'M
certain bread.
The death of "Old Sleuth' reveals
his identity with Mr. H. P. Halsey,
a highly esteemed citizen of Brooklyn,
a man possessed of half million, an
organizer of two OF the great trust
companies of that borough. Still
more curious-he was appointed by
Mayor Low a member of the Board OF
Education and served in that capacity
for ten years
1t is quite as astonishing as "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" although we
are not aware that there was any
thing morally Objectionable in thecur.
ious literature that Mr., Halsey pro-
duced in such prodigious quantity and
with such great pecuniary profit.
