PHILIPPINE ANNEXATION.

Such an acquisition would no
strengthen us in any respect. Or
the contrary, it would be a constan,
drain upon ourresources without any
substantial compensation orthe out
lay. Even when not in state OF
actual insurrection, the people are
turbulent, cruel, and unmindful of
the rights Of person and property,
and it will require a most vigilant
administration OF the law by honest
and capable officials to preserve or
der among them, even in the most
enlightened parts Of theislands, while
in some parts it is at least doubtful
whether this can be done at all.
Spain has tried it for more than three
centuries, except in the Sulu group,
and has signally failed. Millions of
dollars have been expended and
thousands of lives have been lost in
vain effort to enforce obedience to
the laws and customs of a country
having form of ecclesiastical and
civil government which they were at
least partially able to understand,
and yet, when the hour oftrial came,
Spain foundthem her most malignant
and savage enemies. If we acquire
the islands we may have the same
experience. Being incapable of self
government, they must be controlled
for long time, even as to their
local concerns, by legislativeand ex-
ecutive authorities of a government
six thousand miles distant.
They will constitute the most ex-
posed parts of our national domain,
and will require a much larger ex-
penditure for protection than any
other equal area within its limits.
In all great wars the nations having
colonies and outlying dependents
have found them to be her most
vulnerable parts; and nearly every
island in the seas has passed, at some
period in its history, from one sove-
reign to another by the operations
of war, most ofthem having chang
ed masters many times. If we ac-
quire the Philippines, we will find
it more difficult to defend them a.
gainst any great European naval
power than it will be to defend the
coast of the United States against
the same power. They will addcom-
paratively nothing to our strength
or prosperity in time of peace, and
they will be positive weakness to
us in time of war.-JOHNG. CAR
Isle, in Huper's Weekly.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Thursday, Oct. 27, 1898.
OUR CANDIDATES..

On November Sth every freeman
in Pennsylvania will be called upon
to cast his ballot to elect Il Governor
and other officers for the ensuing
terms. 1t isa sacred trust reposed
in each and every Individual to take
part in the government of his coun-
ty, state and nation. The republi-
can party has placed itself on record
as the party which has demonstrated
its ability to govern this country
through all manner of ordeals. AZ
ter the diretul control of Grover
Cleveland, the Republican party re-
stored business, encouraged industry
and reconstructed thenational policy
in harmony with prosperity. For
the important Office of Governor OF
the Commonwealth the Republicans
have nominated
COL. VIM. A. STONE.
He with his colleagues ON thestate
ticket, make up an array OF soldier
candidates. Gen. J. p. S. Goblin,
for Lieutenant Governor, is hero
of two wars. In addition to this he
served his state as the Commander of
the Ord Brigade of the National
Guards ofPennsylvania, under whose
gallant command the writer had the
pleasure to serve for term of en-
listment. Gen. j. w. Latta for
Secretary of Internal Affairs is 4
soldier ofgood repute among Snyder
County veterans. W. W. Porter tor
the Supreme Court, Hon. Galusha
\. Grow and Hon. S. A. Davenport
tor Congressmen-at-Large are not
entirely unknown among the Re-
publicans of Snyder County. The
State ticket is certainly made up of
brilliant array of Republican war
heroes and they will command the
loyal support of every republican.
HON. T. II. MAHON.
Congressman Mahon is too well
known TO require an introduction at
our hands. He was faithful, loyal,
patriotic soldier and has proven HIM
self an able conscientious representa-
tive in the Houseof Representatives
ofthe United States. He has care
fully guarded and protected the in
terest of every soldier in his district.
He has urged the department in
more than 800 cases to hasten the
consideration of pension claims at
the Department. In the House, he
has stood faithful to all Legislation
for the benefit of the country a,
large never forgetting the interests
of the people of the Eighteenth Con.
gressional district. His unanimou.
nomination at the recent conferenc,
at Harrisburg was greater compli.
ment than is usually extended t.
Congressman for third or fourth
term. His past record is a sufficient
guarantee Of his future conduct.
DIR. A. N. SMITH.
This is the year legislature will
be elected to convene in January,
DIR. A. NJ. Smith wonthe nomination
last January by a nice large major
ity and he will be elected on Nov.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
The American people love to be hum
bugged." So said P. T. Barnum, and there
never was a better illustration than the
food show at Tomlinson Hall. To prove
this one must take into consideration the
spectacle of crowds of people paying 25
cents admission fee in order to get 10 cents
worth of free samples. But that would be
all right if it was in aid of a good and
worthy cause. We shall see whether it is
worthy the name it bears. There is the
greatest attraction in the word pure"
How much we need pure air, pure water,
pure food and pure lives. Glance at any
crowd Of our Hoosier men, women and chill
dren, and any intelligent observer will say,
I'VE need pure food and a great deal of it
to change the looks of these people" Not
all, Of course, are in need of the right kind
of nourshment, but the majority are, with
out doubt, greatly in need of it. Let US see
what the food exhibit does to help these
conditions. In the first place, bread is the
stan of life. The grain of wheat, taken as
a whole, contains all Of the elements need
ed for the human body. So carried away
by looks are we that the whole wheat flour
is not in the show but only the finest and
whitest and least nutritious part of the
wheat. OF the whole exhibit perhaps a
dozen articles could be said to be an i'm
provement over last years show. But the
SIoWIllnS usSIdce OF the Iood SNOW ls this'
devils best ally in all glory-the products
of the brewer the nerve destroyer. the
home destroyer the arch-enemy of man
kind in all ages occupying the seat of honor
at the Indianapolis pure food show. Chris
tion womanhood should blush with shame
TO be so easily deluded; Christian men and
women should stop and think what they are
doing when they patronze anything that
comes so far short of being what its name
indicates. Let the managers of the show
eliminate the poison of the saloon from its
midst, have literature that viii help women
to be better cooks, better housekeepers and
better mothers to their children. Then, in
deed, IL would be worthy of patronage

CLOSE TO THE MAXIMUM
THE ROADS STILL HANDLING OVER
10000 LOADED CARS A WEEK.
Railroad Earnings still Make Favor
able Exhibits-Big Increase in
Net Earnings the Feature.

While the volume of traffic has decreased
somewhat the last two weeks as compared
with several preceding weeks, it is still ex-
ceeding what would be expected under pres
snt conditions, as the country roads for the
last ten days have been so deep in mud that
only where the highways have been grav-
eled or improved with broken stone have
the farmers been able to reach railroad sta
tions with their products, and so far as the
movement Of grain is concerned the ship
ments the last two weeks have been chiefly
from elevators located at terminals or way
stations. The train records show that in
the week ending Jan. 20 there We're received
and forwarded at Indianapolis 26,347 cars,
2olOS being loaded, thirty-two more than
there were handled at this point in the week
ending Jan. q, and 4,O7T more than in the
corresponding week of 1897, 406 more than in
1895, S,0S6 more than in 1895, and GAS more
tnan IN the corresponding week Of 1894.
When it is taken into consideration that so
large percentage of the cars now used
have $4,000 pounds capacity, and that the
rules for loading cars to their capacity are
being enforced, it is evident that the traffic
of the roads is even in excess of the in
crease in number of loaded cars handled.
The eastbound tonnage is not as heavy as
last month, still there is considerable grain
going forward and some cotton and tobacco.
Shipments of dressed meats, provisions and
hardwood lumber are heavier than last
month, and also of live stock, the last week
the shipments of horses exceeding fifty car
loads, while shipments Of cattle for Eastern
markets and for export were quite large
Last week both the Panhandle and the Big
-Four showed a decreased eastbound busi-
ness, While weStbOund the tonnage is in
creas1ng on both high and low-class
1relghts. The business of the north-and-
south lines continues to improve as pros
perlty comes to the various Industries Io-
cal business is highly satisfactory and is
not confined to any one or two or three
ilnes. The packing houses are doing the
largest business in their history; at the
stock yards business continues large bevond
precedent. Local freight men say ii is some
years since their work on the switches of
the numerous industries has been as heavy
inns applies to lumber yards cerealine and
noinlny mills, furniture manufactures MAJ
cnlne shops; and seldom to the commission
houses handle as many goods in a mid
winter month as they have the present
month. Were 1t not for the bad condition of
the country roads the loaded car movement
would be at its maximum which is abouf
z,OVO cars. Below is given the car move
ment for the week ending Jan. 20 and for
the corresponding weeks of 1897 and 1896:
