The Legislative Fight.

ED. HERALD The county convention
being over and the candidates named, the
interest of the Republicans north Of the
mountain is centered ON the convention OF
the First district which is to be held on
Thursday. Shenandoah and Mahanoy City
each have one candidate on the county
ticket, and the chances are that d. NJ
Graham, of the latter place, will be the
nominee for the Senate. If such is the case
it will not do for the Legislative nomine,
also to reside there. Shenandoah has tive
candidates for this office, and, in order t.
make the ticket equal is entitled to thi
nomination. As locality has great deal t.
do with making a winning ticket, an ever
division will certainly make stronger ticke
than one which is One-sided.
EQUALITY.

porter:
II do not believe the war Is over by
any means; neither does President Nc
Kinley who told me personally he had
no faith that the peace commission
would settle the differences existing
with Spain over the Philippines. The
Spanish claim that the battles at Man

THE PLATFORM.
Adopted by the Republican County Con-
ventiOn Yesterday.

vention Yesterday.
The platform adopted at the Republican
county convention was quito lengthy, and
reaflirmed the party's allegiance to the prin.
cples contained in the national platform
adopted at st. Louis in 1896 that in order
TO further the interests of labor rs well rs
capital, the great American system of pro-
lection must be preserved.
Upon the financial question the platform
declares that it is Of the utmost import.
ance to our national welfare to have firm,
stable aud interchangeable medium of exchange
and that the money of our country must be
worth at all times and places what it purports
to be; that no discount shall disgrace it aud
no false idea of coinage shall rob it Of its full
value. We therefore favor the best money
that our country can give the people"
The administration of President Mckinley
in the conduct of the war is commended;
that the undying gratitude of our nation is
due to all the great heroes of the war, in
Cludng the volunteers from Schuylkill
county, in the cause of liberty and freedom
! The platform further declares in favor of
the retention Of whatever territory we have
acquired by conquest that we call upon our
| Congressman to advance the interests of the
anthracite coal regions 50 that its chief
product be used in our war vessels that the
| Democratic convention held at POttsvilo in
! July last, in the adoption of their platform,
acknowledged that they were without
| principles, and no other object or purpose
than to secure the aeshpots of office.
The appointment of John f. Finney, as
sub-Treasurer in Philadelphia is recognized
as high compliment to our county; the ad-
minstratOn of Gov. Hastings is endorsed,
rs well as the course of the two United States
Senators, Congressman Brumm, State Senators
and members of the Legislature. The
nomination Of :. Burd Edwards, as District
Attorney, is commended to the people, as a
guarantee that reforms will be accomplished
in that office.
The plank favOring a bipartisan iudici-
ary, endorses the course of Hon. K. II. Koch,
who has proven his entire impartiality and
eminent fitness for the bench. In him are
found experience ability, conscience, CandOr,
courage and irreproachable character; and,
having been born and reared within the
county, he knows its people and comprehends
their welfare. There are four judges on our

THIS IS CHARACTERISTIC.

Undoubtedly a great deal of non sense has been talked about Cuba by jingo orators and yellow journals. But we have moi so far seen anything worse than these observations con- corning the Cuban rebels in the New York Evening Post:
 ~They have brought an their pres ent sufferings on themselves by armed resistance to bad government. They have done so deliberately, and have persisted 1n their resistance for nearly three years. They can stop this sui fering by ceasing to fight. In other words, they have exposed themselves to death and starvation and impover- ishment, with full knowledge of the probable consequences of their con- duct"
 It is speaking mildly to call this brutal. If the Posts theory were con- sistentfy carried out, no people under any circumstances would have any right to revolt against intolerable op- pression. Armed resistance to bad government led to our own revolu- tionary war. If the Post had been published then, it would probably have talked just that way about Wash ington and his army at Valley Forge and have denounced France for ven turing to intervene There are some ! things worse than jingoism, and one of them is Indifference to every senti- ment of patriotism or humanity But then the editor of the Post is an alien who never had any patriotism in his makeup

THAT BIG WHEAT DEAL.

Joe Letters wheat deal has been the marvel Of the day. Nothing like it was ever known before and it is a question if Joseph of old ran any big ger wheat deals in his day. It is not generally known, but is a fact never the1ess, that of the 1O,OOO,O0O bushels of wheat which Joseph Letter bought 100000 bushels have been shipped and contracts made for the other B. GOO 900 bushels. The closing of new contracts with railroads for moving an additional million and a half bush els to the seaboard Is an indication in the deal that shows the vastness of his operations. No less than 3,000,0 900 bushels have been loaded and delivered within the last twenty days. Orders have been issued to the elevators for the leading of another million bushels and now arrangements have been completed for hurrying abroad of a million and a half bushels additional. He has ocean tonnage for 4,000, 1000 bushels of wheat as it arrives at east ern ports. Since last September his shipments have not been less than Y, 1000, 900 bushels. His additional con- tracts, it is said, will raise that to 2,500, ,00G bushels. He has 1,500 O00 bushels in vessels now at Chicago waiting to be sent forward That amount will raise the total of his ship ments on his campaign up to April 15 to 100000 bushels It Is claimed that his shipments during the next two months will be on the same vast scale.

STAINS TYRANNY MUST END.

Eighty years have passed since Henry Clay delivered in congress a two-hours' speech in behalf of Cuban liberty, in the course of which he said:
 If an abused and oppressed people will their freedom; if they seek to es- tablish it; if in truth they have estab lished it, we have a right as a sover eign power to notice the fact, and to act as circumstances and our interests require.
 Since these words were uttered Spain has done nothing to improve the condition of her Cuban subjects. She has appropriated the fruits of their toll, destroyed their homes, devastated their fields and held them fast in the darkness of ignorance and supersti- tion. The problem which Clay de- scribed still confronts the American government but the solution is rapid ly approaching, and when it arrives the tyranny of Spain VIII vanish for ever from Cuban soil

Compare The Republican with the other Phoenix dallles. Such comparison will Work to the advantage of this newspaper. The Republican since the Cuban excite ment became intense has printed each day the complete news of the doings at the seat of government. Regular read CTS of The Republican have been able to demonstrate by compar- isons with the San Francisco and Los Angeles newspapers that The Republican is giving them more than value received. The Republican is glad of the opportunity to demonstrate that it prints the live news of the world every morning in thc year. That this fact is appre- ciated is shown by it's fast grow ing circulation.
