A Republican Governor.

Colonel Stone did not burn the state
capitol Even DR.. swallow has not yet
accused him of looking on and smil-
ing with fiendish glee while the confla-
grafton was progressing. He did not
steal s.. 900, 900 interest on state depos-
it's in the last twenty years. He did
not hire clerks with aliases nor pay
Others Cor the state work they did not
do. He mas not conducted his private
life in such manner that even Wan
amuker or District Attorney Graham
can exploit any of it's secrets to his
eternal confusion. He has not bought
up legislative delegates and, as far
as can be ascertaincd, has not bar
gained for any of the bunch to be de-
livered next week. He is simply de-
cent, honorable gentleman and soldier,
nominated by the most respected pOr-
tion of the citizens of the state for
governor of this great commonwealth.
He is fitted for the office if ever clean,
honest and high principled man was
fitted for lofty position and the base
and false accusations against the Re
publican party and the leaders can by
no possible contortion be made to ap-
ply in any sense to him.
Revenge wrought on Colonel Stone
for fanCied wrongs done by the party
would reCoil to the woe of not only
Pennsylvania but to the nation, as
surely as did the policy of party sore
heads in the years preceding Cleve-
lands election. This is no time for
Republicans to listen to fairy tales told
by the bugaboO advance agents. The
state has no reason to feel sorry that
1t ever elected a Republican governor
1t has no reason to regret that by a
Republican Legislature it has placed
those men in the United States who
have upheld the measures of progress
and the policy of such men as Lincoln
and Mckinley whose magnificent war
records are about the proudest bits
of literature a nation can possess.
There will come a time when the vot-
crs, who listen to the frantic and alb
surd statements of the present enc
mics Of prosperity i'm Pennsylvania,
will wonder how they could have been
50 deceived

The Scourge of the South

The yellow fever situation in Mis-
stppi approaches the conditions of a
panic. The proclamation of the health
officer OF jackson, urging the people
Ia fee, naturally produces a degree of
fear scarcely comprehensive in the safe
and protected confines of a northern
frost range. This late beautiful au-
tutnn with its sunny days and warm
nights is a period of horror instead of
loveliness in the fever-exposed district.
While we are not desirous of seeing the
cold. dreary days of early winter, the
frost is awaited there with the anguish
of desperation. Business is paralyzed,
all commercial interests are at a stand
still and the outlook for those who
cannot leave or who view their busi-
ness enterprises and means Of support
crumbling away must be forlorn in
deed.
In this crisis the wide hospitality OF
Chicago comes as a welcome breeze
from the sea after a hot and breath
less summer day.
Chicago opens her arms to the refu-
gees from the yellow fever infected dis
tricts of the south" says Health Com
missioner Reynolds. LET as many OF
them come TO this city as possibly can.

conglomerate population as gathers in
the vast business centers. The inabil-
ity Of the Slavs to speak English Is q
great barrier between them and true
citizenship in this country. The sooner
thcir children learn English the sooner
viii these aliens be in the way of con-
forming to the laws of the land and
the less friction will there be in their
contact with other nationalities. To
teach Polish in the public schools
would be to continue a racial barrier
which is already too marked for the
good of our institutions. Let the Slav-
ic children he taught English language
and American ideas as many of the lit
tie ones are being taught under the
benign influence of the free kindergar-
tens in this region.

AN oLD-TIME JAYHAWKER.
From the Kansas city Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal
Kansas has within her borders many
strong characters who pass unnotced be-
cause they do not mix in the turmoil OF
politics one of these is Daniel Kelley,
who is described by the Anthony 'kc-
publican as tall, strong and rugged
reading without glasses and bearing his
81 years more lightly than many men
carry half century," In the ds MT.
Kelley was one of the best known stock
growers in Illinois. He sold one Morgan
colt for the then unheard OF price OF w.
900. and his thoroughbred sheep were
known the United States over. lie was
active in politics and served as a delegate
in the Chicago convention which hrst
nominated Lincoln for president. lie tells
how he labored all one night with Horace
Greeley who was at the head of the Orc
gon delegation, to get him to swinS ms
delegation to Lincoln. Greeley did TINS
on the following morning, and oregon 5
II votes proved the starting of Lincoln
gains which resulted in his nomination on
the sixth ballot. Mr.. Kelley lost big
fortune in the Chicago fire. However,
he is now d large property owner in liar-
per county and personally looks after MS
varied interests.

WAR HUMoR AT SANTIAGO.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Captain Evans is responsible for a
choice bit of sailor humor which de-
serves to be rescued for history before it
is lost in some dusty pigeonhole in the
navy department. On the day after the
destruction of Cervera's ships the Spanish
warship Reina Mercedes was discovered
in the Santiago harbor channel, evidently
intending to finish what llobson with the
Merrmac had begun. Then Captain
Evans signalled from the Iowa: The
Spaniards are trying to sink ship to
block the channel. They need help Ev-
en- the business like Jackie who was fast
ening the signal flags to the halyards
must have laughed as the captain or
dered the letter which spelled out the last
three words. OF course, a feet officered
by Americans was not slow to act on
the piece of grim humor, and minute
after the signal was hoisted the Iowa,
Massachusetts. Texas and Nesuvius were
giving the Rena Mercedes all the help
she needed. Their shot and shell sank
her before she reached her intended berth
in the narrcwest part of the channel, and
left the way into the harbor open to our
ShipS.

welcoming refugees from plague
smitten region reads almost like fairy
tale and could only be possible among
people who are broad minded enough
to give aid to the afflicted. That there
is no danger from the contagion in a
climate such as Chicago has at this
season does not alter the fact that not
every community would thus throw
wide its doors to those fleeing from
such a scourge as the yellow fever, and
possibly tainted with the contagion.
It Is estimated that two-thirds of the
white population of Mississippi is now
in Illinois. and the situation south is
not encouraging. The death rate is 10
per cent. which is unusually large, and
causes the utmost alarm, as no frost
can reasonably be expected before the
middle of November. Jackson, Miss,

have suspended publication and only
a yellow fever bulletin is issued. 1t
seems a terrible disaster, following
the serious illness and the death of so
many soldiers from fevers of various
sorts. that the awful terror Of an epi-
dcmic of yellow fever must be added

The report that 10000 "squaw" men
had been ordered out of the Indian
territory has been denied. Although
it seemed incredible that the Dawes
commission should undertake to de-
prive 10000 men of vested rights and
deal hardship and distress to their In
dian wives and children in the process
the long delay in contradiction caused
many to believe the yarn. This affords
another Illustration of the evils of yell
low journalism and the difficulty that
confronts the truth when chasing a lie
started in some remote region by the
modern Ananias.

Some of the Toronto papers are
bringing a queer argument to bear on
the objections to collecting the exorbi-
tant royalty exacted on the gold out
put in the Yukon. 1t is claimed that
the government should not require
such large percentage on the product
as it would leave more for the miner to
spend on wasteful pleasurcs-faro
banks, barrooms and the like,at Dawson
and that in demanding this tax the
money is saved for necessary improve
ments and the preservation of order
all of which necessitates a very large
outlay. This argument no doubt APP
plies to many gold mining Adventures,
but there are men who went to the
cruel bondage of this ice bound region
to gain something to make more COM
Portable the lives of dear ones at home.
They have staked all they have on the
hope of a return for the privations and
suffering endured in the Klondike and
after toiling for months find their lit
tie profits made desperately low by the
payment of royalties. The complaints
do not come alone from the gamblers
and owner of dance halls, but from
poor miners, from claim owners who
are discouraged at the prospect. Ac-
Cording to all accounts the preserva-
tion of order in Dawson is not such
that warrants the assertion of a vast
amount of expenditure from the large
collections taken from the miners.

HARD MONEY PREFERRED.
From the Philadelphia Record.

At last there seems to be a favorable
opportunity TO gut some OF our super!u-
Gus silver dollars into circulation. A
United States silver dollar rates in value
a. to l in comparison with the Spanish
silver coin in circulation in Puerto Rico.
The American silver dollar is worth as
much as a gold dollar because the United
States stand pledged to maintain it at
parity with gold, and in token of their
good faith receive it for customs dues
al it's face value. The people of Porto
Rico are not yet educated to the use of
our paper notes, and for this reason tho
silver dollar should circulate freely and
should be shipped to meet demand.

Not an Off Year.

1t is not worth while for Republicans
TO sit calmly at home and count up the
great votes the Keystone state has
turned out in phenomenal years for the
salvation of the country. This is an
other phenomenal year when more than
ever does the nation need all the sup
port that the Republican party can
afford. off year apathy will not do.
The opposition made against the ticket
is plain evidence that the Democrats
are not considering the occasion one
in which to depend on chance for the
results. They are making more de-
tormined fight throughout the state
than has been recorded in years. They
have dropped the mask of Swallow fiat
terry and are emphatically declaring
that all votes cast for Swallow are
lost The significance which Pennsyl-
vvnia politics bears in national issues
have been painfully apparent on two
o.cs SONS in the last quarter of a CEN
tury. The Republicans can't afford to
allow personal prejudice or the malign
attacks of disgruntled office seekers
to influence them so far that they are
likely to overlook the critical period in
national affairs. One mans vote may
count little. but one mans opinion to
sway the minds of other men may be
of serious import.
The moral effect of an overwhelm-
ing Republican majority this year can
not be overestimated. 1t is not merely
to elect Colonel Stone, whose splendid
qualities and noble record make him a
party he represents; it is not merely to
rebuke the most vicious attacks ever
made upon Republican leaders that the
state should stand firmly by the men
who have led 1t to prosperity and great
ness, but that the nation, over which
an ominous threat is rumbling of flu
ture disaster, in the shape of Dem
ocratic victory, shall receive the moral
assurance that the powerful state of
Pennsylvania will stand by the noble
record she has made in former times
and will lend her mighty aid in con-
tinuing national administration
which has been the purest and most
brilliant in all history. No Republican
no man who wants to see the con-
tinued results of a Mckinley govern
ment, can afford to shirk his duty on
this important occasion.

"Pernicious Activity"

Grover Cleveland declared that a GER
tain office holder must not take part
in politics, but First Assistant POST
master Heath asserts that there is alb
solutely nothing in the civil service
laws which forbids a postmaster or
any government official from making
political speeches or exercising any
rights of private individual.
"Pernicious activity" called up the
alleged rule by Mr. Cleveland, which
held good only as long as an admins
tration desired to enforce It. The pres
ent administration is prepared to give
the utmost freedom to the government
employees, who may work for their
party with all the zeal they can sum-
mon. They must not levy political as
sessment or make their employees or

vice pay tribute or act against any one

lief, but they may do good work for
