THE STATE ISSUES.
A Good Man to Administer the Office OF
State Treasurer

SldlC 4lCdoulcI-
Republicans are not afraid to take
up the state issues or to discuss the
necessity for Governor Stones action
in cutting down the most liberal item
in the budget so as to make eXpendi-
lures in income balance each other, -
says the Wilkesbarre Times. I'VE have
already been too liberal at the expense
of the state treasury, and if the action
of the governor will draw attention to
this subject he will have performed
public service. Money gotten by in
direct taxation is apt to be lavishly
spent, and we know something of this
lavish expenditure by many of the
school boards and townships in our
own county.
Nor are we afraid to discuss the
management of the treasurer's office
Under the new laws there is no pos
sibility of wrong doing, and the method
of depository, together with the pay
ment of interest to be turned into the
treasury, makes everything SO plain
that only a reputable business man
Is required for the position of GUS
todian. We have such a man in Lieu
tenant Colonel Barnett, the Republican
candidate, who besides possessing all
qualifications named is all right on the
protective system, an advocate of
sound money and a supporter of the
Mckinley administration. This is the
man for the times, and the people of
Pennsylvania will undoubtedly say so
on the 7th of November"

the thrashing they had in that year.
"The Democrats have not even d

will get the full Republican vote, if not
more.
"It looks as if we will have a full

THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC.
Significant Address by Archbishop Ireland
as to the Philippines.

Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul, was
shown much attention during his re-
cent visit to Pennsylvania. This dis
tinguished prelate is staunch Repub-
lican. In an address which he made at
the banquet of the Marquette club, of
Chicago, given in honor of President
Mckinley on his trip west in respond
ing to the toast THE American Repub-
lic," Archbishop Ireland, among other
things, said:
THE American republic is the best
form of organized democracy revealed
in humanity's history; as such she
claims homage from her own citizens;
as such she draws to herself the at
tention of the world.
"And surely there has been in Amer
lea no lowering of the highest stand

try at whose call for heroes citizens

ness of self and in such numbers rally

"Republicanism this year means, as
it has ever meant, loyalty to our coun-

honest government and honest money,
and an undying devotion to the honor

floats. carried by our soldiers or sail
ors on land or sea This year all these
qualities are accentuated in marked
degree, and the Republican who fails

the grandest opportunities of his life
TO show his devotion to and practical

Harrisburg, Oct. 17.-Make a note of
the date-Election day, Tuesday, No
vember. Z.
All good Republicans will bear this
in mind. This is going to be a great
year in national politics. The result
of the elections in the several states
next month will be watched not only
by the people of the United States, but
by the nations of the world. The issue
of the foreign policy of the Mckinley
administration is inseparably connected
with the canvass in every state in which
there is to be an election, and the re-
turns will be watched and reviewed
with particular reference to their bear
ing upon the national administration.
Nothing that has occurred in politics
since the last presidential election has
created as much talk as the proclama-
ton of Aguinaldo to his followers, in
which he said:
"In America there is a great par
ty that insists upon the govern
ment recognizing Filipino inde-
pendence. We must show gratitude
and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should
pray to God that the great Demo-
cratic party may win the next pres
idential election"
This declaration from the ringleader
of the insurgents has attracted wide
spread attention, and Democrats who
are loyal to their government are dis
gusted with the position in which their
leaders have placed them and their
party. They will refuse to vote the
Democratic ticket this fall
There is every reason why every
Republican should go to the polls on

philadelphia, Oct. 1.-THE tour of
Colonel Barnett, the Republican nomi-
nee for state treasurer, has been Il
series of popular demonstrations of en-
thusiasm, and as he proceeds in his
canvass the meetings get larger and
the ovations more enthusiastic. Many
of the scenes witnessed in Roosevelt'S s
whirlwind campaign for governor in
the Empire state are being repeated
here. The people, regardless of party,
are turning out to receive the young
soldier fresh from the Philippines, and
all indications are that many of them
will disregard politics when they vote
next month and Democrats and Repub
licans alike will honor him with their
ballots. Colonel Barnett is not spec
tacular orator. He does not play to
the galleries, but in a straightforward,
matter of fact way he discusses the
issues and tells the people just what
he will do in the event of his election.
He spoke plainly as to the Office OF
state treasurer in a recent speech.
BARNETT'S PLATFORM.
In this address, among other things
he said
THE platform adopted by the
Pennsylvania Republican state
convention is the best that has
been promulgated in any common
wealth of this republic. If l shall
be elected to the Office of state
treasurer l shall ask no better rule
for my guidance than the enlmcia-
tions of that platform. Under those
principles | shall hold the position
for the whole people, irrespective
of party. 1t shall be my duty, and

In the prompt collection of taxes
and claims, the prompt settlement
of all accounts against delinquents,
whether individuals, companies or
corporations, without fear or favor,
for the purpose of maintaining the
credit of the state by promptly pay
ing, under due warrants of law, all
claims and appropriations. And
especially for facilitating and
carrying on the work of our grand
free school system in every district.
no matter how small or how remote

upon our statute books law which
campels bankers to pay interest on

der provisions of law, to the obli-
cations of the commonwealth.

"It is the Indifferent and stay-at- home

direct their attention to this fall. These
are the men who are so preoccupied
with their business interests that they
frequently do not appreciate the i'm
portance of political campaign until
after the election returns are announc-
ed. Then. if the result is not as they
desired, they feel the sting of remorse
and realize the result of their own neg
ligence. This fall there is more than
usual danger to the Republican party
from the Indifferent citizen. Our pros
porous conditions naturally divert the
minds of many from matters of public
moment. The party workers should
single out these voters and at the
proper time see that they go to the
polls. If they get them there, we need
have no fear of them voting the Demo-
cratic ticket. The thing to do is to get
them there-the intelligence of the

There is no doubt that the state
elections this fall will be taken as an
index of the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people upon the issues of the ap-
preaching national campaign. 1t is,
therefore, important that every Re-
publican vote shall be cast in Novem
ber for the candidates on the RepubIi-
can state tickets in Ohio, PennsylVa-
mia, Kentucky Iowa and other states
in which there are local contests for
important offices. All our Republican
majorities this year should be as large
as possible to emphasize the popular
feeling. The industrial conditions and
the Philippine war will prove factors
in the coming campaign. The Philip
pine war has been made an issue by
the Democratic party, but we have
nothing to fear. | would as lief have
