Opinion Of an Eminent Jurist

Ballot reform in New York was neces-
sary, says an eminent jurist. beeluse
mere politicians by trade who had no in
terest in government or politics except to
enrich themselves sought perpetual c.,n-
troll. There are other excellent reforms
besides that of the ballot. Conspicuous
among them is the reform, promptly and
thoroughly effected, IN disordered phys
zeal system by Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which eOunteracts tendencies 10 Sc
riOUs disease bred by deficiency of vital
stamina, irregularity of the bowels, stom-
ach, liver or kidneys, and inquietude of
the nerves. This sterling medicine, which
has for near half century won because
il deserves popular favor, is commended
by physicians of eminence who accord it
their approval, not only for its excellent
qualities in a remedial capacity, bat also
for its seryicsable properties as medic
inal stimulant. Ii soothes and strength
ems the nerves. and is far preferable 70 the
hssdy. unmedicated stimuli of commerce.

THE Swallow meeting in the Court
House Monday afternoon was CON-
posed of fair-sized audience Of Re
publieans aud Democrats, with here
and there a Prohibitionist. Presenting
that the object of the meeting was to
make votes for Doctor Swallow for
Governor, il was fiat failure, the aud
ience. being entirely void of enthusi-
asm. The speakers were given an at
tentive and respectful hearing, but
their speeches made no lasting impress
sion. Doctor Swallows speech was
devoid of anything sensational, which
was a great disappointment to many of
those present, who had attended for
the purpose or in the hope of hearing
him roast Senator Quay. His speech
consisted almost entirely of a reitera-
ton of charges of abuses connected
with the fitting-up Of Grace church for
the meetings Of the Legislature, and
for the making of which the Doctor
has already been convicted of libel and
proven to be a reckless falsifier. The
meeting is not likely to affect to any
great extent the result of the election
for Governor in Somerset county in
November

OUR 1srIExIsIE DEMANDS.
spaniards Say We Won't Make Any Con-
oession for Peace


LONDON. Oct. 21.-The Paris cores
pondent OF the Times records a visit he
received from "a great Spanish parsonage,
who seems to have been commissioned
TO ascertain the trend of public opinion
on the peace negotiations" The cores
pondent says that the parsonage appear
ed TO be much depressed. He said he
had found great general sympathy for
Spain. but had not discovered any posi-
bility OF obtaining moral support against
the American delegates, who were in
flexible in their demands, aud who, with
much pOliteness, had categorically re-
fused hitherto to make the slightest con-
cession in any of their instructions. 1t
seems that they have never asked Wash
ington for the slightest N odifications.
The Americans adhere to the method
Of conducting the negotiations by written
memorials and written replies. The
Spaniards try repeatedly to start q verbal
discussion in order 10 obtain deviation
from the infiexible line followed by the
Americans. Senior Abarzuza, a member
of the Spanish Commission, who is re-
puted TO be master Of English, especial
ly attempts to initiate conversation. Be-
ing eloquent, he always profoundly i'm
presses the Americans, who listen atten-
lively, but rigidly maintain their pro-
cedure.
The parsonage told the correspondent
that he found the Spaniards much dis
couraged. They were convinced that the
United States was bent on rigorous ex-
ercise OF its rights as a victor. He recall
ed the statement of Prince Bismarck as
to the necessity of avoiding the abuse OF
victory. by which the conqneror loads
himself with a crushing burden that is
almost more damaging to himself than 10
the vanquished.
''The Americans" continued the
speaker, ''are not adopting this wise and
humane view. They refuse to make any
concession on the financial question. We
have ysinly urged that they themselves
accepted financial obligations from Eng
land after the war Of Independence, ac-
cept VI burdens in connection with Texas,
and that it would be an arbitrary course
and vexatious precedent to throw the
Cuban debt on Spain All has been use
less. Now. what our delegates should
say to them if they persist is:
1--WE are in your hands. You are the |
vic'ors. We once committed the folly of |
going TO war with you because you did |
not leave US time TO avoid it aud because
you treated Us So that we were bound 10
plunge into war, though we foresaw the
result.
"'But We will not commit the fresh /
folly of recommending it in any form.
We submit to your dictates and leave the
world to judge them, bat no human force
can compel us TO subscribe 10 them and
we shall not subscTibe'''

stone and Roosevelt, the soldier c.ndldass,

Philadelphia Inquirer
The campaign in progress in Pennsyi-
rsnia is very similar to that In New York.
In both Ststes there is the same rounding
up Of the opposition 70 the Republican
party in the attempt to swing the Gov
ernorships over TO the Democrats and to
elect Democratic Senators and Represent
stives in Congress. In both States, too,
the same class Of issues IL being used
what is called '.State issues.- 10 New
York the opposition charges extrsva-
gsnce and steals in the canal manage
ment.
But what has the past 10 do with Col
onel Roosevelt. the Republican candi-
date? lie has not been extravagant, nor
is he a thief. lie makes answer in this
way:
in considering every interest ] shall
consider il from the standpoint of the in-
terests of the people as a whole and from
no other standpoint. That applies 70 the
management Of the canals and it applies
70 the management of every other public
Office in the State In considering the
public servant himself, the man who
deals with the public interest, / shall
age, but, more than all, l shall demand
rigid honesty"
A sensible. manly answer, this. There
is no necessity for going outside the Re-
publican party for reforms. The party,
under Roosevelt. can reform itself.
Here in Pennsylvania the opposition
makes the same charges OF extrsva gancc.
There are no canals to msnsge, so in the
place of the canals we have charges of
treasury mismanagement Not a cent is
missing. it is true. but that does not pre-
vent vituperstive abuse.
But what has Colonel Stone TO do with
the past? He is not responsible for that.
His responsibility lies in the future. And
what does he answer TO the malicious
attacks? Just this:
II have been accused of belonging to
some certain men. If l am any mans
man l have never discovered it, Up to
this point l have not made a promise to
any man or woman, and until after cleo
ton / will not. With respect 20 certain
bills which were before the last Legislat-
ure and created a scandal, said that If
were elected / would veto them, and l
will oppose any measure that in any way
As-o tAo dppcdidhc VI bciHB ftoAoNS VI
corrupt"
This, too, is sensible and manly reply.
The whole system of State deposits has
been changed by law, and as for future
legislation, Colonel Stone will guard the
States interests carefully. As in New
York. there is no necessity in Pennsyl
vania to go outside the Republican party
for reforms. The party is big enough,
and its candidates are honest enough to
look after whatever reformation is neces-
ssry.
With Mckinley in Washington devel-
oping the nations policies and depend
ing upon Republican support to carry
out those policies, this is no year to try
with errstic Swallowcrats
and Democrats.

THE fact is that this administration
has mansged so magniiieently that
campaign timber for the opposition to
build on is scarce and they must make
the most possible by striving to SOW
seeds of dissension ia the adversaries'
camp. A vote against the Republican
candidates viii be construed as vote
against the national conduct Of the
wsr-it will be 50 construed and have
that effect-and whether it be an issue
or not, the tactics Of the opposition
have been such as to compel the voter,
who indorses the national adminisira-
ton, to vote the Republican ticket
