QUA TICKET.

Our time has been 50 completely
utilized with the details Of moving
and arranging our machinery, etc.
in our new home that we have not
been able to say anything about the
new Republican nominees.
First of all the people OF Snyder
county with one grand sweep gave
to Congressman Mahon handsome
endorsement for another term. 1t
was indeed compliment to him in
view of the fact that he had good
strong man against him at home.
This was not intended as a rebuke
to Senator Hummel but as COM
plete endorsement of Congressman
Mahon. He is soldier and a states
man. The good lead of Snyder
county will furnish an example Tor
other counties to follow.
For Assembly DR.. A. M. Smith
carried off the prize with such a large
majority that nothing in addition
need he said concerning his popular
ity. The sweep isso overwhelming
that no one can donbt the greatness
OF the victory. He is an able man,
a keen-eyed physician and will make
a prominent man in the halls OF
Legislature. He is an old soldier,
always congenial and a candidate
who will poll more than his party
vote next fall.
For Associate Judge, z. T. Gem
berling received a denomination to
the position he now holds. He has
shown himself to be a careful, judi
cious officer, and we predict his
election with a large vote.
G. A. Botdorf, OF Freeburg, was
nominated for county surveyor. MIR.
Botdorf is well-known attorney
and will poll big vote.

Editorial Paragraphs

There is no report yet from those
silver statesmen who went to Japan
last summer to try to find material
to prove that that country acted un-
wisely in adopting the gold stand
ard. Perhaps they are holding back
their valuable information until the
campaign Of 1900.
February receipts UNDER the Ding
ley law have thus far averaged q
million dollars day, and as the ex-
penditures of the Government only
average about that sum during the
year, there is good reason to expect
that the Treasury will soon begin
to grow a surplus.
Sound-money men, whatever their
past party affiliations, will cordially
cooperate this fall in the nomira-
ton and election of men of their
views on the currency question.
This is made absolutely necessary
by the fact that the Populists, Sill
verites, and Democrats are preparing
to cooperate in the coming campaign
for Members of Congress.
UUh
Bank clearings last month in y
cities of the United States showed q
gain of 33 per cent. over January,
1897, and 80 per cent. over January,
1896, 81 per cent. over January,
1895, and 4S per cent. over January,
1894. When it is considered that
the bank statistics of the country
are the most accurate test OF busi-
ness conditions, it will be seen that
the assertions of the Democratic Or
ators and newspapers in the cam
paign of 1896 were entirely un-
founded and that the statements of
the men who made them cannot be
trusted in the campaign upon which
they are now about entering.
\ / i /
More than q dozen countries en-
tered solemn protest at Washington
during the discussion of the Dingley
bill against the enactment Of that
measure, intimating broadly that il
its protective duties were adopted il
would compel action by those coun-
tries which would be to the disad.
vantage of our expectations to them
That this was a mere empty threat
is shown by developments since thai
time. The Dingley law was enact
ed without any reference to the pro.
tests in question and it no develops
that these countries have bought
more from us since the enactment O
the Dingley law than they did il
the corresponding months Of th'
preceding year under the Wilson
law. The figures for January ART
not yet completed in detail, but fol
the five months of the Dingley law
ending December 81, 1897, the ex'
portations of the countries which
protested against the Dingley bill
were $42,247,048 in excess of thost
of the corresponding five months un'
der the Wilson law in the preceding
year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-It has just de-

its refusal to permit the establishment of

United States intended it as an initiative
to territorial acquisition on that island.
While almost all of the governments nego-
tiated with cheerfully co-operated in the
movement for the extension of our weather
service, Hayti absolutely refused. The
result was instructions Of the most posi-

CANADIAN QUESTIONS
Will Be Solved and the Public Will
Know

QUEBEC, Aug. Alt has been deter
mined by the members of the Joint arbNra-
ton commission that nothing in detail of
the commissions work will be given to the
press until after its work Is finished. The
reason for this Is to prevent so far as pos
sibie the demands for hearings before the
commission. Both the Americans. and
Canadians have a great amount OF data
and official information upon all questions
to be considered land whatever additional
information Is desired will be obtained
from available sources. For these reasons
1t is thought general discussion of the
work in the press would tend to bring to
Quebec daily delegations of persons anx-
ious to be heard and result in great an
noyance and delay. On the most important
questions expert testimony will be heard,
and where local interests are to be seri-
ously affecteda single representative OF the
interests may be heard. Beyond this the
commissioners say they will be unable to
grant any requests for hearings. Briefs
and documents ON all questions will be re-
ceived and considered.
