Some More Questions.
WEST SUNBURY PA.

WEST SUNBURY IA
Now that the Poor House matter is
settled will it not be well for the people
to turn their attention to the question
of honest and decent State government,
lest they find themselves all in an
aims house with Quay dispensing
their rations.
Since no opposition is announced
against Mr.. Showalter for the Jongres-
sional nomination he has again consent
ed to talk for the benefit of Quay, and
takes up the note favorable to Quay
men for Governor.
1t is surprising how great men can
talk when Quay mesmerizes them.
They have no experience in self-gov-
ernment by the people-that inallenable
right which John Adams and Thos.
Jefferson alluded to in the Declaration
of Independence But old chaps like
them could not fish and legislate and
appoint Post Masters at Cross Roads at
the same time; and their sayings have
passed into oblivion before the
march of the modern practical politics
of Quay and his school of statesmen.
But we have legislature to choose
and il they are to represent us let us
know where they stand. If they are to
represent Quay why not dispense with
the unnecessary expense of an election
and let Quay appoint them.
Ask them these questions.
1st, Are you in favor of the reelection
of NJ S. Quay to the U. S. Senate;
End, Are you in favor of reckless ap-
propriations and padded pay rolls?
3rd, Are you in favor of the creation of
expensive and fraudulent investigating
committees, to travel over the State
for the sole purpose of reforming Quays
political opponents, and encourag-
ing more reckless and shameful acts
among his supporters?
4th, Are you in favor of bleeding cor
porations for large sums of cash and
using it to control primary elections in
the interest of one man or any set Of
men2
5th, Are you in favor of the Legisla-
ture acting in the interest of the people
or should they first consult Quayg
9th, Are You in favor of the Legisla-
ture passing bills to pay the Lexow
Committee, and large sums for extras
in the building of the new State Cani-
7th, Should the Legislature pass ap-
portionment bills as commanded by the
Constitution or must they adjourn and
waste time and consult Quay in Flor
ida2
8th, Do you want real reform or do
You favor Quays kind of Sham reform3
And last but not least-The candi-
dates for Delegates should also be made
to uncover themselves for if they are not
right they will be very useful to Quay
in adopting platform that means
nothing.

BRYAN AS A SOLDIER.

Democratic conventions are very
properly answering the attacks of adj
ministration papers on Colonel Bryan.
1t is no more than right for them to do
so. The colonel is not at liberty to de-
fend himself. And knowledge of this
fact makes the organs of Mckinley all
the more bitter and persistent.
There has never been time since
the Third Nebraska volunteers were
mustered in that there hasn't been a
slight put upon the regiment, or slur
cast at its commander By those who
are now trying to cover uo the mis-
takes OF Alger and defend the crimes
Of the administration.
There has not been a word of COM
plant from the lips Of Bryan. He has
deported himself as an ideal soldier.
Others cS greater rank and military
training have ouarreled with each
other and with their superior officers.
Bryan has borne himself with a dignity
and soldierly regard for discipline
that has not been apparent in the mil
itary pets Of the administration.
He has taken no part in the dissen-
sions OF the army: has added no fuel
TO the flame: has silently put I'D with
the competency of the war depart
ment. while others have complained.
No excuse has been furnished his de-
farners. But they need none. The man
who can defend Alger will not hesitate
to attack Bryan. The apologist of
criminal neglect of volunteers will not
scruple to assail volunteer himself.
The administration is responsible for
incompetents, towards and grumblers.
But the goldbug pres1 will not discuss
them. It prefers to attack an officer
who is not in accord with Alger on the
money question.
There are better ways, and more hon
orable, of rising to military distinction
than through the influence of the war
department.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-08
THE CREDIT THEY ASSURE.

That goldbugs are claiming credit for
good crops and a foreign demand &C.
casions no particular surprise. 1t was
expected that they would look about
for something for which to thank them
selves, other calculations having gone
amiss.
And still, the consistency of it is not
exactly clear, when men give Provi-
dence credit for the action of poIiti-
cal party, and political party credit
for making grain grow. When Utah
was admitted as a state a certain
prominent Mckinley Republican of this
city went upon the stump and pro-
claimed that Providence had done it.
And now that crops are good at home
and poor abroad, the class to which
this gentleman belongs insists that the
policy of the present adminiStra ton
brought about the yield and prices.
1t isn't as easy to see through as it
might be, but careful consideration
should be given the matter. If there is
a point in it any where it shouldn't be
overlooked, as our Republican friends
are entitled to all they can get out of
the Hanna epoch.
After all, there may be some way of
connecting the Republican party with
the soil of this country SO that it can
help the crops to grow. In November
it is probable that such a connection
will be discovered, or made. But how
in the name of common sense do the
Il 4 10 roraf
from growing in Russia and India and
Argentine?
The Boston Journal fails to shed any
new light on this problem, although it
makes the old claim 1t says:
eve have had a year Of enormous
crops, marketed at phenomenal prices.
The farmers of the west have been
paying off their Indebtedness at so live
iy a rate that banks in that section are
complaining gloomiiy that there are
not borrowers enough for the money
which they have to loan. The farmers
have been renewing their Supplies, buy
ing new machinery, and otherwise
spending money in a way which has
kept business good
And this is a death blow to BRYAN
ism and free silver" it claims.
Another administration organ holds
that the gold discoveries in the north
west vindicate the adoption of the sin
gle standard.
OF course the goldbugs knew, when
they framed the st. Louis platform,
that there would be good crops at
home, famines abroad, Letter prices
and Klondike boom. And why
shouldn't they assume credit for it all?

MILFORD WOODRUFF.

Denver Post: With the death of Pres
ident Woodruff of the Mormon church
has departed another of the limited num-
Der of striking characteristic figures
which for half century have given a
distinct tone TO the far west. The num-
Der OF pioneers of the west is by no
means so large that the departure OF one
should not leave void in their ranks.
Woodruff came from Missouri, and cross
ing the western border, of civilization
with his people, went far beyond that
border and settled with them in a desert.
But they were OF the true type of pio-
neers AID It took them no longer tnan
nature required for that purpose 10 turn
the desert INTO garden spot capable OF
sustaining a population many times their
number, and the 'GreaI American DeS-
ert was MT Tor something better than
mere pasture for the buffalo and a roam
ing ground for the Indians
But for their untiring energy, the great
Salt Lake basin would in all PROBABILITY
have remained for many years to come
the uninviting desert which they found il.
1hey placed over a thousand miles be-
rection and everything needed to sustain
them they Were forced to produce them
selves. The present generation can have
no adequate idea of the oriVationS and
sufferings these early pioneers of the
west had to endure in their endeavor to
deal with them more fairly than they
have been dealt with by their contempo-
raries ana give them due credit for what
they have accomplished.
While measured b. the standard of
Brigham Young, President Woodruff had
no constructive genius, yet he was of the
type and temperament to carry on the
great work after il had been well start
ed. For this he was, perhaps, better
suited than an ADLER and more aggressive

THE COLORADO RIOT.

That was a lamentable and a dis
graceful affair at Colorado Springs
Yesterday. The Republican convention
was turned into a bloody riot. One
man was killed, another seriously
wounded and a number were hurt.
The silver element obtained control
of the hall, and the administration fac
ton, headed by civil officers and fed
eral appointees, effected an entrance
by force Armed with two revolvers
each, a hundred men battered down the
doors and fired upon the friends of
Senator Teller within. More than $50
shots were fired, and the wonder is
that more men were not killed.
This trouble has been brewing for a
long time At the last election the
silver Republican organization was SO
badly wrecked by an alliance with the
McKinleyites that motives of self
preservation prompted them to with
draw and go it alone this year. The
regular Republicans, under .Wolcott's
leadership, were determined to par,
ticipate in any Republican convention
held. While they were unable to do
this, they prevented one from aolnS
business in which they were not recog
nized.
Colorado people did not take kindly
10 an organization in which the fol-
lowers of Mckinley bore such con-
spicuoas part. A fusion of Bryanites
and McKfnleyites was such a para
doxical combination that suspicious
were aroused. In several counties of
the state the silver Republicans were
completely swallowed up. The state
organization fell into bad repute and
Senator Teller decided that the only
way for silver men to preserve their
identity and self-respect was to cut
loose from all alliances with the st.
Louis crowd.
An attempt to do this resulted in the
riot at Colorado Springs.

Pando was Weyler's pupil. Under

waved aff1uent at the head of the army
in Cuba HIS fortune represents the
fleeing of Spanish soldiers and the
robbing of Cuban citizens. Pando made
some of his millions in the same way.
Spain has been robbed and her colo
MES ruined by military leaders, who
hid behind the dominant church and
refused to render an accounting to the
people. Blanco is reputed to be richer
than the government he represents.
Augustus revenues from the Philippi. es
were greater, in the net profit, than
were those of the crown.
But Pando has had other opportuni-
ties to collect wealth. When the war
broke out, Spanish sympathizers in
Chill, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico
made up donations for the Spanish
army. Hundreds of Spanish commune
ties responded to the queens appeal
for help. Entertainments were given
as benefits. and other contributions
made. Pando was appointed collector.
He met the custodians of the different
funds in Mexico. He gathered in the
shekelS.
General Pando is now on his way to
sunny Spain to bask beneath the
spreading vines of Andalusia. He is
rich.

General Pando sailed for Spain yes
terday with 10000 900 francs in his
purse and on his person. This is quite
a sum for any man, much less a Span
lard, to carry about with him. The
announcement of his presence in New
York with all that money caused no
end of speculation among Americans.
This did not concern the general,
though. His Specializing had already
been done.

opposition to his candidacy is opposi-

be the part of wisdom to eliminate
from this campaign. A mans religious
belief should cut no figure in the poll

REPUBLICAN D1sAFFEcr1oN.

In order to take advantage Of disat-
lection among the Republicans 'o1
Pennsylvania, the Democrats of that
state restricted their platform to state
issues. In all probability the Demo
Gratis Of New York will do the same.
The better class of Republicans are
willing 10 unite with the Democrats in
these particular states for the purpose
OF checking the wholesale fraud and
corruption practiced by the leaders of
the Republican party.
Ia Pennsylvania there is Quay to
rebulze and hundreds OF his henchmen
to Dust from responsible positions.
In New York there is a Platt to de-
throne. and it must be done before
long, or his absolute domination of the
Republican party will result in its ever
lasting ruin.
Rut the Democrats OF New York and
Pennsylvania will not lose sight of the
silver question in their fight for local
SUPREMACY. The silver sentiment is
the inspiration of the party in New
York and Pennsylvania, as well as in
every other state of the Union.
The New York convention has not
been held. That in Pennsylvania was
controlled by followers of Bryan. None
but silver men were recognized on the
ticket

ganization in that state is made abso-
