Lie Nailed,

The notorious Philadelphia Press is
endeavoring to create the impression
that the Republican State Committee
are opposing the election of Hon. Chas
w. Stone. State Chairman Elkin said
in his speech at Media, last Saturday:
zone of the charges which have been
industriously circulated in every part
of the State is that the regular organiz-
alton of the party in some mysterious
way not apparent, has been able to get
a candidate in opposition to the re-
election of the Hon. Chas. w Stone.
take this opportunity to say that this
charge is absolutely, unqualifiedly and
maliciously false. 1t has not the
shadow of foundation in fact. 1t is a
fabrication worked out of the invent
i've imagination of designing persons,
who do not even believe it themselves.
The regular organization OF the party
is anxious to elect Republican Con-
gresham i'll every Congressional dis
trict in the State, and will spare no
efforts to accomplish this result. The
Republican candidate for Governor
will soon apear on the same platform
with the Hon. G. w. Stone in his dis
trict, advocating the election of the
whole Republican ticket

He Led the Charge,

A writer in the Philadelphia Press
pays the following tribute to Capt.
Harry Alvan Hall for his work at the
battle of Coamo:
'The success of the charge was due
to the bravery and ferocity of the men
and the skill and daring of Captain
Harry Alvan Hall. The latter led the
charge from the moment they entered
the little ravine until they reached the
enemy's position, exposing himself to
the hot fire fearlessly and continually,
and urging on his men by his word
and example. The result, however,
might have been different in spite of
him had not the volley firing of the
charging troops been so deadly. On
the first volley the Spanish commander
fell dead and with him several of his
leading officers. This disconnected
the Spaniards, and though they des-
perately resisted the attack, their re-
sistance was Intellectual After fierce
fight they were compelled to yield
their position and surrender upwards
of five hundred of their number to the
victors."

Disregard the Chronic GrumbIers.

There are those who can find moth
ing encouraging in business conditions
at any time. IF they are crowded with
orders they complain of small profits
and the hard work, and if the profits
are big and the work light they will
still grumble about something. The
worst effect of this chronic tendency
to grumble on the part even of a few
of the leading business men in any
given community is that it is apt to
create false impression about the
actual condition, and thus retard bust
ness prosperity even where the condi-
tions exist for a business boom of the
most gratifying proportions.
lust now, when wholesale merchants
are cIowded with orders, when fact
ories are being run on full time, when
the largest wheat crop ever known has
been harvested and the prospects of
an abundant corn crop re:of the best
and railways are taxed to their utmost
capacity to handle the freight that
is being offered, a class Of busi-
ness men are finding something to
grumble about, and this class has it's
representatives in our own city as we'll
as elsewhere. Their numbers are few
and their influence not great, but so
far as they can create a false impress
sion and encourage distrust and hesi-
fancy where they should be buoyant
with business confidence.
At no time within the last ten years
has there been less reason for doubt
and hesitancy in business circles or
less cause for the lugubrious croaking
of the chronic business grumblers.
Some of the grumblers are doing the
largest business they ever did in their
lives, and one would think that COM
mon business Sagacity would lead
them to assume the confident instead
of the respondent tone.
AS the chronic grumblers will be
chronic grumblers to the end of their
days, however, it is clearly the policy
of other folks to disregard their croak-
ing and be guided by the encouraging
business conditions which exist A
pilgrimage among the iobbing houses
and to the freight receiving stations of
the various transportation companies
will convince any observing person
that business even in what is usually
the dull season of the year is the reverse
of dull. Business is good and growing
better whether measured by the test of
weekly or monthly sales, railway
freight receipts, bank clearings or
low ratio of business failures, and these
are indications that should outweigh
all the lugubrious wailings of all the
chronic business grumblers that could
secure standing room in a ten-acre lot.

Popular Primaries

There is growing sentiment in the
South and West for what is known as
popular primaries. Georgia and South
Carolina have tested the system and
found it satisfactory and Alabama is
about to enter on trial of it, In
several Western States the question is
being agitated and, perhaps, may be
adopted in the near future.
Under this system political conyen-
lions for the nomination of candidates
are practically done away with. Any
man may become candidate for any
Office, by paying small fee and taking
out candidates papers, This permits
his name to he be printed on the official
primary ballots. All persons entitled
to vote at general election are en-
titled to vote at the primaries and thus
the person nominated is to all intents
and purposes elected, for the subse-
quent election is nothing more than a
ratification.
In some respects the system is ex-
cellent, as it prevents few men from
controlling and directing nominations
in convention. On the other hand it
would put the control of nominations
into the hands of the party in power,
thus giving it greater chance to per-
petuate itself
The plan pursued by leaders in
Pennsylvania, and notably Senator
Quay, in going directly to the people
for endorsement, takes in the best
elements of the popular primari
without doing away with party distinc.
tions and party principles. IfSouthern
and Western States that propose to
adopt the new system embody this
modification, the plan is far more
likely to prove successful and bene
fetal. Philadelphia Inquirer.
