Republican: MT T. D. Bennett, assistant United States attorney, re- turned yesterday morning from Flor ence, where he has just closed the business of the federal court in that district. He and United States Att torney Morrison have made a record as prosecutors. All accused persons before the court were convicted. There was one remarkable case, that of a colored man charged with crim- inal assault upon an Apache squaw. He was convicted and sentenced to Yuma for life He will probably serve the term, since he can be par doned by no less power than that of the president of the United States. Sometimes extenuating circumstances are unearthed after years in the cases of persons convicted of murder. But none are ever developed in the instance of a rapist.

Second. There was no evidence, charge

State and National Issues

The speech Of Galusha A. Grow. de-
hvered at Franklin last night and re-
produced elsewhere, puts into their
proper relationship what are called
state" and national" issues. The OBJ
jective point of the opponents of Re-
publicanism who are raising so much
dust over state issues is not to insti-
tute any reforms in state government
the people who remember Pattison's
last administration will have recollec-
ton of how little credence Is to be
placed in the reform pledges OF a Demo-
cratic candidate for governor. These
men NO are campaigninc ou state
issues are really manocu, for
strategic position in the nat. situ-
alton; they want the state offices, 10 he
sure, but they want congress also, and
the presidency, too. as soon as McKin-
ley's term expires.
The Republican party has no dispo-
sition to shun state issues. Its record
in the administration OF the public at
fairs OF Pennsylvania II is not ashamed

for state purposes lifted from real es-
tate and put upon corporations mainly;

For the People to Say.

The utterances of the president dur
ing his tour of the west and other in
dications not less significant give
ground for the belief that unless his
purpose is foiled by the election next
month of an adverse congress he will
instruct the peace commissioners at
Paris to demand the complete surrcn-
der by Spain of the entire Philippine
archipelago. His conversion to this
purpose has been due to the steady
pressure of events and is in obedience
to the matured will of the representa-
tive public opinion not only of the
United States but also Of the world.
The responsibility involves cares and
difficulties, but no honorable escape
from it has yet appeared. and it is not
in the American character to neglect a
moral duty because its performance is
attended with more or less hazard
This purpose of the chief executive
has not been determined upon hastily
and without careful and prayerful
medication. once consummated there
will be no turning back. A plan Of ad-
ministration FOR the Philippines has
already been outlined in general terms.
The people Of these and all other is

Not Stampeded.

Harsh accusation. the Haunting of
scandal, real or alleged; personal abuse,
reflection upon character and even
trumped up arrests for political effect
are not peculiar to the present cam
paign in Pennsylvania All these Incl
dents and articles of desperate poll
tics are shop-worn in age and use; and
it is only because factiOnalism in this
commonwealth has lately been working
overtime that the employment of these
old weapons has this year been carried
to nauseating excess.
Republicans of good judgment are
not to be stampeded into abandonment
of their party principles or desertion Of
the Mckinley administration, because
a few excited men i'm Pennsylvania
some animated by spite, others carried
away by their morbid imaginatiOns,
have entered into a combination to dis
rupt the present Republican party or
ganiZation. Differences of opinion are
inevitable concerning persons in public
life and when these are expressed in
orderly fashion within party lines the
effect is wholesome upon public NOR
ais. But when men grow so fanatical
or desperate in pursuit Of individual
leaders that they are willing to sac
rifiCe party, state and nation to their
abnormal appetite for revenge, spe-
cies of intemperance is engendered
which well-balanced citizens should
rigidly suppress Good government can
not proceed from such sources; the
spirit of fanaticism is fatal to it.
The ticket presented in Pennsylvania
for Republican support is worthy of the
support of every member of that party
The head of it, Colonel Stone, educated
himself when a poor farmers boy by
nighttime study after hard manual
daytime toll, and rose by personal eX-
ertion through an honorable career to
well-earned prominence among the
leaders of his party and of the nation:
his associate on the ticket is a gallant
veteran of two wars, whose eminencc
in civil life has matched his promin-
ence on the tented neld. The candi-
dates for congressman at large, includ-
ing the venerable Galusha A. Grow, a
sample of whose robust mentality is
presented elsewhere, stand for the
large glories and the high achieve
ments of the national administration ;
and the various local nominees have
been chosen in fair convention by the
free option of their fellow partisans
In ability, experience, character and
reputation these men fulfill the high
traditions of their party. There has
been, there can he, no reflection upon
any one of them. The sober judgment
of the people will approve their can
ddacies and record "A new token Of in
dorsement of the national policies

AMERICAN PUSH.

The last mCnthly summary of commerce
shows that manufactured exports for the
eight months ending with August 81 last
amounted to S20l ,5OO.OO0, against SlS6, 900 $50
for the corresponding period in 1896. The
important point in this comparison is
that increase i'm manufactured exports
has occurred in the face of an increase
in American tariff duties and in the alb
sence of depression in prices due to in
dustrial stagnation on this side of the
Atlantic. The increase in manufactured
exports has taken place, in other words
under healthy conditions and furnishes "A
real index of what American skill and en-
terprise. rightly directed. can accomplish
in pushing American goods in neutral
markets. This is the sort of increase in
foreign trade that makes for wider en-
ployment of and better wages for Ameri-
can workingmen and insures a lasting
foothold abroad for American manufac-
lures

The Lebanon Report wants to know
why the price of anthracite coal re-
mains at about a constant point when
most other articles are yearly becom-
ing cheaper. If the railroads would
cease to discriminate in their freight
rates the price of anthracite could for
a time go lower without injustice to
those engaged in its production. But
back of this. that or the other surface
problem is the fact that the supply of
anthracite is limited by nature. Once
gone. it is gone forever, and every ton
mined ought to make more valuable
the ton which is left in the veins, in
obedience to a well-known law of
trade, the law of supply and demand.
If the Report had only limited sup
ply of white paper on hand and
