B. c., old-tners. had about $4,000 in mug
gets. c. Blythman of London, England,

Byers, Wash, had about $1,000. These We're
the largest individual amounts.
Captain Chadwick of the Alliance states
there is an Improvement in the SITUATE
at st. Michael, and he thinks the stranded
passengers will in a short time be able to
get up the river. Several river steamers
that were being towed up have arrived,
and in a short time they will relieve the
congestion. The steam schooner concern
ing which there was some uneasiness, ar
rived at St. Michael July 26th, with her
tow of river steamers. Nothing has vet
been seen of the Moran fleet of river steam
ers and the reports regarding them are
very conflicting. One report has them all

of them have reached Nunivak in safety
and were waiting there for the remainder

Jersey and the others where legisla-
lures are to be elected which should
send Republicans to the United States
senate and with as nearly as possible
a full delegation to the lower house of

National issues are paramount this
year. said Colonel Roosevelt in COM
mentinge on this subject. 1T is not
more possible toFconduct state cleo
ton now without regard to national
issues than it was possible so to con-
duct one in 1861 or 1868. AS it then was.
so it now is. the interests of the ma
ton as a whole, which is of vital alb
sorbing interest to each citizen. Then,
as now, the Republican party was
forced to find new issues, to confront
new problems. Then, as now, it was
forced not to follow. but to make pre-
cedents. In 1861 we had to preserve the
republic for it's great destiny: in 1898
we have to take long stride toward
the accomplishment of that destiny.
The Republican party, therefore, in its
state platforms, does we'll to reiterate
the promises under which it was pos
sible to elect a Republican president;
pledges which made it possible to re-
store prosperity to our country and to
put the nation where it is possible to
work out the glorious future which is
now before a reunited nation. The is
sues for honest money, for protection to
American industry, for the upbuilding
of merchant marine adequate to car
~ the commerce of the world and to
form a naval militia in times of war,
are as vital this year as they were in
the great contest which was so sue
cessfully fought in 1896. We must fur
ther strengthen our navy and build up
our army, so that they may be equal
to any demand made upon hem as we
work out our destiny Hawaii and
Porto Rico are ours, and in the East
and West Indies the interests of the
nation shall be safeguarded
Republicans everywhere should up
hold the administration of President
Mckinley by standing loyalty by their

STAND BY M'KINLEY.
1t rests with Pennsylvania Repub-
lcans to say whether they shall follow
the Wanamaker malcontents, and, by
aiding in the fusion deals of bolting
Republicans, ambitious Democrats and
Prohibtionists, contribute to the sue
cess of the Democracy, or stand by the
regular Republican nominees that rep
resent the party of President Mckinley,
patriotism and prosperity
President Mckinley expects every
Republican to stand by him in the
present crisis. The great problems that
have grown out of the war have yet
to be settled.
The president knew at the beginning,
as the country now knows, how unpre-
pared we We're for war. We had a
navy which any nation might envy. We
had only the skeleton of an army. To
properly equip and organize an army
of 100000 men and place them in the
field within so days was a tremendous
undertaking.
New questions have grown out of the
war. New territory has been acquired
What shall be done with it? Shall we
adopt colonial policy? What shall
it be? Whatever is done with these
islands we must lift up their semi
barbarous people toward the level of
American citizenship.
Shall we trust their settlement to
those who two years ago were max
ing a crusade against law and order,
against American credit and appealing
to the lowest motives of the citizen;
or shall we stand by the administration
and give to President Mckinley at the
national capital a senate and house
of representatives who will aid him in
every patriotic endeavor to carry sound
systems Of government into those ISL
ands of the sea?
THE ISSUE IN EVERY DISTRICT.
The question before the people is
simply this: rs William Mckinley to
stand alone a one end of the avenue
with hostile house and hostile senate
at the other, or are we to stay up the
arms of that brave, gallant, wise, pa
triotic president, and give him at the
other end of the avenue not only a
house of representatives. but a senate
that will help to solve these problems 2"
In every legislative district in the
keystone state where the United States
senatorship is involved, and in every
congressional district Republicans
must stand by their party nominees at
the November election.
They owe this to themselves, they
owe it to their party, they owe it to
their country.

National Crisis.
Pennsylvania at next months cleo

also 2S district representatives to con-

who will deal with questions as i'm
portant as any that ever received the
attention of the national congress.
The next congress must act upon the
question of the tariff and internal reve-

our tariff revenues. A large portion of
the. increased receipts from the war
revenue bill will become unnecessary.
These matters must all be revised, and
this can only be safely done by the
Republican party.
