THE total mortality Of the war with
Spain, from bullets and disease, up TO
October 3, is shown by the official rec

Notwithstanding his former statement
that he had never voted Democratic

says the Uniontown News Standard.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE
What the Editor Of the Philadelphia
Inquirer Says of Assistant
Democratic Papers,

zone OF the assistant Democratic
papers which have joined in the scan
daIous campaign conducted by the op-
ponents of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania" declares the editor OF
the Philadelphia Inquirer. says of ex-
State Treasurer Haywood that he had
mortgaged 5000. 900 OF the state money
as security for r. r. Quay's debt. No
doubt he or his predecessors had locked
up other sums The state balance was
a fiction. The money of the people was
being used by politicians for their own
profit while the MIXED treasury was
bankrupt and a too complaisant treas
urer risked a term in the penitentiary
in order that he might serve some poll
ticians by placing the public funds at
their disposal.
This is a fair sample of the outra-
geous misrepresentation that the anti
Republican movement has been spread
ing broadcast. There is not one word in
all the evidence submitted by the syndi-
cate of prosecutors and prosecutors to
bear out such charges. r. r. Quay bOr-
rowed $I00, coo for a railway company
with which he was connected, a COM
pany which gave ample securities, and
the loan was redeemed. The letters and
kilograms OF Senator Quay TO the Peo-
ple's bank cashier showed that the SEN
tor was dealing IN stocks through an OLD
friend, and that he used his own money
The statement that the money Of the
people was being used by politicians is
one Of those reckless charges that have
no foundation beyond an enlarged and
vituperative imagination. Public funds
became general funds the moment they
we're banked. and District Attorney Gra-
ham undertook to prove not long ago
and did so to his own satisfaction-that
the money in the Peoples bank was lost
through another financial institution.
The state treasury was never bankrupt.
and since the foundation of the Repub-
lican party not one penny has ever been
lost. Every dollar deposited in the Peo-
pies bank has been returned to the
state. The only obligation Of Senator
Quay to the bank at the time OF failure
was a loan OF $4,000. a loan which he
promptly met, and not so large loan.

Mr.. Eddy Talks.

G. B. Eddy, the president of the E
Psso & Northeastern railroad, was
passenger from the south last night
and went on through to New York
where he expects to remain for abou,
ten days. Mr.. Eddy states that work
is now being pushed just as rapidly Of
it is possible, and that the Sacramento
mountain branch Ito the timber lands
will be completed by September Is. at
which time the main line will be push
ed on to the coal fields just south OF
White Oaks. the objective point OF
the road for the present. In regard to
plans for extending the road to a
northern connection. Mr.. Eddy said
nothing had as yet been decided upon.
He reports a great deal of business
activity all along the line of the new
road and says that people are coming
in from all directions every day. The
Sacramento branch is in many respects
an almost unique road from an en-
cheering point of view; it is standard
gauge, has many 30 degree curves and
an average grade of 5 per cent-264
feet to the mile. -Albuquerque Demo

One of the fellows, an Oklahoma boy
