Mr.. SPEAKER REED was too sick to
remain in the House and vote on the
Hawaiian annexation scheme, but be
took pains to let it be known that if ne
had been present he would voted
against it. Mr.. Reed is a rank repub-
lican and doesn't even pretend to be q
lover of the South, but he is undoubt-
eddy a wise man, and therefore knows
that the acquisition of remote foreign
islands is only another step toward the
destruction of republican government
in this country.

IT IS now telegraphed from Guanta-
namo, and that, too, by an American
correspondent, that the reported mutt
lation of the American soldiers VINO
fell in the skirmish there, is utterly
untrue, and that the alleged mutilation
was no more than what is naturally
produced by Mauser bullet. Only
those who are entirely ignorant of
Spain and her people believe that the
latter are savage barbarians.

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE II, 1898.

The PoPULIsTs are now hgnting
among themselves, and are attempting
to 'down" their natural leader, Sena'
tor Butler of North Carolina. This is
lust as it should be. There is no con-
ceiyable reason for more than two po-
litical parties in this country now, and
that there should be more in the South,
IS absurd. All Southern white men
who believe in the wisdom of the franz
ers of the Constitution and doubt that
of the Northern plutocrats and annexa-
tionists should, for their own welfare
as we'll as for the sake of their own
section, and alsoof the whole country,
vote with the democratic party.

believes that even should that ticket

Harrisburg. June 3.-The Republican
state convention met in 10 city yes
terday and named the party ticket that
Is to be submitted to the voters this
fall. as follows: For governor, Colonel
William A. Stone of Allegheny: lieu

Davenport Of Erie. The last five are

The 1863 votes cast for C. w. Stone
represented the combined strength Of
that candidate and John Wanamaker.
The latter provided the only sensation
Of the convention by presenting letter
of withdrawal, in which he denounced
the methods of the dominant Repub-
lican factions and urged his friends to
support c. w. Stone. The withdrawal
is interpreted to mean that Mr.. Wanna
maker has placed himself in position
to run as an independent candidate.

Colonel J. H. Dorst, who was in
charge of the recent expedition of the
steamer Florida describes the condi-
tion of the women and children in Cuba
as pitiable in the extreme. When the
steamer Florida reached Point Banes,
on the north coast of Cuba, where the
supplies of arms, ammunition and pros
visions were landed, 1t was met by a
crowd of 300 pacificos, many of them
emaciated to the last extremity by long
privations. Nearly half of these un-
fortunates were women, and, according
to Colonel Dorst, scarcely one of them
had more than single garment and
that in tatters. Many of the children
were absolutely naked, and their ap-
peals for food when the first boat from
the Florida landed on the beach were,
heartrending. AS far as possible the
crews of the Florida and her consort,
the Osceola, supplied the pacifcos'
wants. even giving away their UNDER
clothing.

Then they all came to Gethsemane, and
Jesus took Peter and james and John
apart to watch with Him while lle pray.

Bile, lot this cup pass from Me; ncverthe-
less, not MS l will, but as Thou wilt"
And then Judas iscdriot came with u
great multitude, and sud, ''lail, Mas
tor" and kissed Him. For he had ar
ranged to betray Him with II kiss.
And when Peter drew his sword and
wounded one of them. Jesus healed him,
and said to Peter, Put up thy sword,
Thinkest thou that Cannot now pray to
My Father, and Ho shall presently give
Me more than twelve millions of angels?
But how then shall the Scriptures be full
filled, that thus it must be?'
Then all the disciples forsook Him and
fled And Jesus was taken to Caiphn",
the high priest, and the council and Peter
followed Him afar off They sought false
witness to put Him to death, and He an
swercd nothing to their accusation. When
asked if He were the Christ, He said, "Thau
hast said Nevertheless l say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see tho Son Of Man Sit
ting on the right hand of power and COM
log in the clouds of Heaven"
Then they condemned Him to death,
and spit in His face, and servants struck
him. Then Peter, denied Him. and re-
membcring the word of the Lord, he
went out and wcpt bitterly.
In tho morning Jesus was taken before
PLATE, the governor Then Judas Iscar-
lot repentcd and went and hanged him
self. Again Jesus answered nothing 10

But tho chief priests pursued the multi.

Then plate willing to please tho mob,
