for use in the family residence, is the mean

be safer. A few days ago prominent gem

"Give me figures for wiring my house, and

Last night a lamp tioped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning

This is the sentiment of quite a number in

Judged By Its Fruits.

DO our adVersaries complain that
the Republican party has not support
ed the school system of the state? MY
answer is that more than sixty per
cent. Of our total state revenues are
given for this purpose and that no
other state between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans provides such liberal
support for the education of the masses
in the university of the common peo-
pie. Do our adversaries complain that
our penal. eleemosynary, and chari-
table institutions are not properly sup
ported? My answer is that no other
state or territory in this country, from
Passamaquoddy Bay to Cape Mendo-
cino, no, nor from Porto Rico around
the globe TO Manila, supports these
worthy institutions So generously as
our own. Do our adversaries complain
that the moneys of the state have not
been properly cared for? My answer is
that in the period of time from 1910
down to and including 1896, there have
been paid into the state treasury al
most four hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
millions of dollars, not one dollar OF
which was ever paid out except by
warrant of law, and not a single penny
of which was ever lost by reason of the
default or dishonesty of state treas
urer. 1 doubt If there is any state,
private business house or financial in
stitution that can point to record
with such a degree of pride. Do our
enemies complain because the Repub-
lican party has not paid the state debt?
My answer is that in 1910 the debt OF
Pennsylvania was s36.1Cs,52SI0: In
1861, after twenty years of Democratic
rule, this debt was increased to $4O,-
44s,2l3.s2. In other words. in twenty
years, under Democratic administra-
ton OF our state affairs, there was an
actual increase In the public debt OF
Si,s1o,65s.I2. When the Republican
party came into power in 1861, the
state debt. as have said, was S4o,-
44S.2l3.S2l In 1871 We had reduced the
public debt to s29. 279. .s9O.Gi; that is to
say, during the first ten wears of Re-

Stand by the President.

1t Is not supposable that with mo-
mentous territorial and other war
problems awaiting solution at the
hands of the next congress any Repub-
lcan will become Indifferent to the.
necessity of reinforcing the president
by congressional majority in sympa-
thy with his views: yet the light vote
cast in the Vermont and Maine cleo
tions suggests that Republicans else
where should not overlook the national
aspects of the approaching November
election.
In this state the gubernatorial and
legislative battle has become through
no fault of the Republican party one
very largely factional in its character,
"A noisy element though protesting to
ne Republican on national issues is
erecting in many legislative districts
fusion with the Democrats. Prohibi-
tionists and Independents with the pur-
pose of undermining the Republican
party organization. Beaten in open
state convention after fair canvass.
these representatives of a disaffected
faction are now seeking revenge at
the polls by engineering alliances
with the common political enemy. In
at least one congressional district they
nave set up stump candidate against
the regular Republican candidate, and
while the BATTER will probably pull
through, saving a vote to the national
administration, no thanks will be due
TO the factionists now striving to en-
compass his defeat. Doubtless as the
campaign progresses similar tactics
viii be employed elsewhere, and it
therefore becomes essential that Re-
publicans whose party affiliation rests
on belief in Republican principles
should everywhere solidify with a view
to defending their own.
The Democratic party cannot make
any gains in Pennsylvania this fall
unless helped TO them by Republican
aid. Whatever gains it shall make
by such aid will be held by it in future
TO the detriment of Republican inter-
ests. Guerrilla warfare where national
issues are involved does not promote
genuine political reform but simply
embarrasses it. Mr.. Wanamaker and
his confrere disturbers cannot weak
en- the party at one point and expect
II TO remain strong at another. If
they are sincere in their professions of
loyalty to the party on national issues
they will limit their efforts at state
readjustment within party lines and
avoid alliances with the enemy. Their
refusal to conserve the national inter
ests of the party should be taken by
good Republicans as a sigma! to with
draw from further Identification with
them and to align for party defense.

orally If he would take early occasion
to extinguish finally the annoying
jealousies ana little conspiracies among

department by indicating clearly who

port to that person, whether General
Miles, General Corbin or another, rs
shall leave the commanding general
free to give hereafter his whole at
tention to the duties of his position.
In point of results achieved no SOL
dier in the American uniform presents
a larger claim to confidence than the
present general in ostensibIe command,
Nelson A. Miles. Wherever he has
been permitted to put training and
professional experience to the test as
against political influence or the vague
ideas emanating from the civilian cor
ner in the war department confusion
has given way to system and chaos
has assumed quickly the semblance of
order. We need not go over recent his
tory to enumerate instances in proof.
They are fresh in the public memory
and because of them the opinion is
now widespread that Miles is decided
ly the man for his present place and
that so long as he is retained in that
place he should be invested with au-
thority sufficient to impress his ideas
upon the army and not ne kept in
continual petty cross-fire.
But if there are reasons unknown to
the public why Corbin or some other
person rather than Miles should do the
thinking for the army, we do not re-
gard it as wise that there should be
further hesitancy in putting him for
mally in command. with all that tnat
implies. The matter is not one Of per-
sons but of principle. We have had
too many heads in our army and it is
desirable at an early day To get back
to the good old system which served
Lincoln so well in the latter part of
the civil war-the system of a COM
mandng general who actually COM
mands. The history of military eX-
perience everywhere teaches that this
is the only reliable basis of military
organization; and few more such in
stances of cross-purposes like those
involved in the episode of the aban-
doned parade of the troops from Porto
Rico and MontaulI Point will be apt to
convince friends of the president that
