volt of the Ohio veterans will lead to
Nash's defeat, will send to Ohio next
week Webster Davis. the assistant sec
retary of the interior, to explain to the
old soldiers why Commissioner Evans
is right and they are wrong.
"The prudential committee has relia-
BILE advices from every county, which
show that between 5000 and 10000 ex-
soldiers and sailors, who have hitherto
been Republicans, will on November Z
next, vote for John r. Mclean for gov
ernor and the entire Democratic state
ticket.
This will be done as a rebuke to Nc
Kinley's administration, and the de-
feat of Nash will cause the Mckinley
dynasty to change its enslon policy and
do justice to the comrades now in their
old age and suffering such injustice.
THE Prudential committee at its
meeting today, all the members being
present, unanimously voted its opinion
to defeat for lieutenant governor John
A. Caldwell, who as mayor of Cincin-
natl appointed not a single old soldier
to a position under his municipal gov
ernment, but filled the places with heel
ers of George b. Cox, who were never
in the army or navy. If we succeed In
electing John r. Mclean as governor,
to which all indications now point. by
a big plurality, we will have forced Nc
Kinley to rescind or modify orders No.
1874 and 225 under which in Ohio tens
of thousands Of old soldiers have been
so shamefully treated. We will then
have forced the pension department to
cease requiring veteran soldiers widows
to prove by their affidavits and other
evidences that their habits have been
correct.
1--WE will also have forced the abroga-
| ton of that Infamous rule that no SOL
dier's widow who has an annual In
come of 500 is entitled to pension.
when you vote for John r. Mclean
you vote for a true friend of the old
soldier, and for a man whose father,
the late Washington Mclean, was the
confidential friend of General Grant,
who was always the guest of the Nc
Leans when he went to Cincinnati, In
stead of stopping at Dick Smiths or with
Murat Halstead, the editors Of the Ga
zette and the Comemrcial, who had de-
nounced Grant as q drunken butcher,
on account of the battle of Shiloh.
THE election of Mr.. Mclean will
scare Mckinley and Evans into doing
justice to you in the pension claims,
and cause them to change their entire
pension policy; whereas If Nash is
elected Mckinley and Evans will say
their pension policy has been approved
and henceforth the veterans will be
treated worse than ever before.
THE Prudential committee has Its
headquarters here at 1884, South Front
street, and is in daily receipt of hun
dreds of communications and kilograms
from every corner OF the state, and an
nounces the glad tidings of its fellow
comrades that on November the can
didates of the pension shark policy OF
Evans & Co. will be roundly defeated
and John r. Mclean, the friend of old
soldiers and sailors and of the plain
people, will be triumphantly elected
as governor, a most worthy successor
Of our present comrade incumbent, the
gallant, honest and noble Asa s. Bush
nell.

ONE GOOD RUB
win Probably Bring the Administration
to It's Senses.
(New York Evening Post.)

New York Evening Post.)
Here, then, is a feasible way Of re-
forming Mckinley within the party"
Luckily the party is not committed to
his policy of conquest and annexation
of the Philippines. All the state plat
forms have been gingerly and cautious
in the extreme in resolving upon this
question. Even in Ohio the convention
went no further than to assert that
a wise" solution of the Philippine
problem was much to be desired. The
party could go back to where the SEN
ate stood last February without a
particle Of difficulty, and determine to
give the Filipinos independence, or
to establish a protectorate over them,
or to cede the islands to another power.
But, is not the president too far COM
mitted? Could he after his unyielding
front on the western stump, after his
loud assertions that the steps taken are
irrevocable, reverse himself? Every
body knows that he could do 1t without
the flicker of an eyelash. His ineradi-
cable convictions can be altered while
you wait, and he would be just as true
to flag and home afterward. Let the
troubled Republicans but get their party
and congress to advocate healing
measure in the Philippines, in case of
McKinley's war without parley, and
they need not worry about the presi-
dents attitude. One good rub on the
Aladdin's ring Of party and popular
disapproval will discover the Jim of
the White House humbly asking what
Is wanted.

American Review.)

(From Mulhall's Five Years of Ameri-
can Progress" in the October North
American Review.)
There are lights and shadows in the
picture, but the preceding tables show
US that the United States are progress
sing favorably:
/. Population advances at a slower
pace than ever before recorded, which
is due not merely to restricted laws
against emigrants, but also to a dim
mutton of natural increase arising
apparently from higher death rate.
2. Import trade has fallen off 30
per cent. in five years, partly owing to
changes in the tariff, partly to a fall Of
prices, partly to the development of
home manufactures. On the other hand
exports have risen by $400,000,000.
g. Manufacturing industry appears to
have grown prodigiously, the consump-
tion of raw material showing an in
crease all around of about so per cent.
in five years.
A. Agricultural implements are pros
porous as regards tillage, the area under
grain having risen 100000 acres since
1898, but pastoral farming seems to
have suffered, the number of live stock
falling 25,000,000, the value being $6.000,-
900 less.
5. Mining shows a great increase in
the production of gold, copper and
petroleum, while there has been of
course, decline in the output of silver.
6. Finances have been deranged by
a heavy fall of import dues and an
increase of expenditure resulting from
the war with Spain. The deficit of 1898
reached $103,0OO,0O0. Public debt has
risen $3.50, 900 since 1893.
7. Money actually in circulation has
risen $241 ,000, 900, entirely in gold, silver
and paper money showing no sensible
change. At the same time the treasury
has had an increase of $15,000000 In
gold and $22,000,000 in silver.
| 8. Banking business, to Judge by the
national banks. has increased 80 pei
cent. in five years, or three times as
! fast as population, an unquestionable
proof Of the general prosperity of the
Union.
| o. Notwithstanding the increase II
mileage, the gross receipts of the rail.
roads fell $S3.OOO,O0O. the net profits
$21, 900, 900.
10. The tonnage of port entries has
risen 30 per cent, but this has beer

The merchant shipping of the United
States shows steady decline.
IL. Public instruction progresses

red Sunday afternoon at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Henry Morgan, on
South Liberty avenue, the occasion be-
ing a gathering of the Sharer family
in celebration of the return of two Of
the girls from Europe and Roscoe from
Spokane, Wash, where he had been
with the Grand Army band. Mr.. and
Mrs Morgan and Miss Mayme Sharer
arrived on the morning flyer from the

The most interesting feature in con-
nection with the gathering was that
just a week before the girls and Roscoe
were 1000 miles apart. Roscoe plays
slide trombone with the G. A. band.
The Pennsylvania round house was
partly destroyed Sunday morning in
taking out one of the monster freight
engines. When the engine was put in
there was not half an inch to spare on
either side of the entrance and great
care was necessary in order not to
strike the walls. Engineer Deetrick
and Fireman McFadden brought the
engine out with less care than it had
been put in and some portion of the
machinery caught at the side of the en-
trance and pulled down great section
of the wall, completely covering three
engines with debris and doing them
great damage. The engineer and fire.
man were saved from injury by their
cab. The Alliance wrecking crew work
ed all day clearing away the mass of
brick and timbers in order to get the
engines out. 1t will cost the Pennsyl-
vania thousands Of dollars to repair the
damage.

THE PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN.
(NeW York WORLDLY

A very interestin. discussion may be
found in the Worlds Sunday Maga-
zine today, on the question, "Iow
Should Children be Punished?"
But why should children be punished
at all? Surely any intelligent parent
who will give the problem the careful
attention that 1t deserves can find way
of giving to an immature and wholly
dependent child all the governance and
discipline that are necessary without in
flicting pain-physical mental or moral
upon 1t. There Is always something in
a child to which a successful appeal for
good behavior can be made-pride, self
esteem, affection, the innate morality
of innocence or something else besides
fear. And the, appeal to these forces
wholesomely educates the child, while
the appeal to fear of punishment de-
grades him, making a coward of him
and usually liar also.
One trouble is that parents will not
be at pains to study the characters of
their children in order to learn to what
sort Of appeal each will respond. 1t
is less troublesome just to thrash them
or infict some other suffering upon
them.
Again, much of parental government
is tyranny and injustice 1t is imposed
not for the child's good, but for the
parents convenience; not upon any
principle, but arbitrarily; not upon any
grounds or reason that the child can
understand, but as an autocratic fiat,
| against which the child rebels In his
soul, If he has the courage, and before
which he cringes and covers II he Is
morally infirm. In either case he is
wronged.
The parents right to rule is by nc
means absolute. The child's right to
personal liberty Is as positive as that
of any man, though subject to certain
limitations. 1t is the parents right and
duty to govern the child where COVER
nance Is for the child's own good oi
where 1t is necessary to keep him from
wronging others. The wise and just
parent will not rob his child of the
discipline incident to self-control.

IMPERIALISM COMES HIGH.
New York WORLDLY

One year and two months after the
end of our war with Spain the "tempor-
ary" war taxes voted to support the
effort to free Cuba are still very much
in force.
The internal revenue taxes alone are
taking from the people $1,000,000 for
every business day, or over $300,O00,00 900
a year, which is equal to the highest
exactions from this source during the
civil war.
And instead of planning for reduc-
tions are casting about for more and
higher taxes. Imperialism and militar-
ism do indeed come high.

General.

PETERSBURG, VA, May H.-(Special.)
| Since the recent visit to this city Of Mr..
G.. w. Buzby, Deputy Supreme Regent
and State Organizer of the Royal Area
mum, the order here has shown renewed
| signs of life and activity. and there have
been many applications for membership.
Southside Council has now go members
and Sycamore Council Us.
One of the arguments, and very strong
one, used In favor of stationing one or
the fire engines in the West End, as a
better means for the protection of pro-
perty in that growing section OF the city,
is the fact that within a short radius from
the head of High street are located many
important industrial establishments, CIV
ing employment TO between 1900 and 5000
hands Two establishments OF this kind
have recently been destroyed by fire.
Rev. DR.. j. J. Lafrerty delivered his
lecture on 1.-THE Days OF our Daddies"
last night to a large and deeply interest
ed audience, at the Market-Street Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
The sales of loose tobacco this week
were very light, aggregating only about
l5fO1 pounds. The Whitsuntide holidays
and the county elections explain the
cause.
Fifty years ago Petersburgs debt was
about $4,000. with an annual revenue of a
like amount, and our rulers feared for the
credit of the city. Now our resources are
over 100000, our debt over Sl,000,0Oo. and
everybody is happy.
A well dressed, respectable looking
stranger, about whose identity but little
can be learned, was found in dazed and
wild condition of mind on Sycamore street
last night. He seemed 10 have been taken
suddenly III, and his cries, as though
caused by mental agony, attracted a large
crowd. He was taken 70 the Jail, where
he is under careful medical treatment, but
