W r Is ANNOUNCED that at the
proper time Colonel Barnett, the
a Republican candidate for state
treasurer, who has been regain
ing health and strength since his return
from the Philippines, will go before the
people of Pennsylvania, together with
other orators, and discuss every issue
entering into the state campaign. state
and national. The attempt of the
Democrats to create the impression
that the Republicans desire to avoid
state issues will be punctured by a
frank and fearless acceptance of any
line of discussion which they may
call up.
This is good politics and manly judg-
ment. The Republican party in Penn
sylvania has nothing to conceal in its
management of state affairs. The
record made by il, although distorted
and falsifed in the course Of factional
controversy, compares favorably with
the record of any majority party in
any state. The claims of superior Vir-
ture put forward by the Democratic
opposition are ONtftnrOWn by the tdCt
that in the legislative abuses concern
ing which criticism is fierccst the Dem
ocratic members have invariably been
foremost.
But there are more than state issues
at stake this year. on the eve of a
presidential election which will deter-
mine the whole future of American ad-
minstrative policy in the new territory
which has come under our control in
consequence of the Spanish American
war, the supporters of the president of
the United States look to PennsylVa-
mia, as they do to Ohio and other states
where the Democracy has carried op-
position into practical shape, to return
verdict which will strengthen Mr..
McKinley's hands during the coming
Iession Of congress and serve notice on
enemies at home and abroad that the
American people do not intend to take
a backward step.

useful to show to those who claim that
the Dingley tariff is not beneficial to
the manufacturing industries, and conse-
quently the labor of the country. The
table shows marked falling off in our
imports. Although 1899 shows an in
crease over 1898 of $71,OOO,OOO this is
very satisfactorily accounted for in the
fact that this amount included the i'm

Before adjourning, the reichstag had a
army gambling. Herr Bebel, the Socialist
leader, reiterated his charges that there
was a large percentage Of army officers in
the notorious Harmiosen club. adding that
a similar state OF things prevailed at the
Turf club, where heavy play is the main
feature. Herr Bebel asserts that manv
officers played there regularly in spite of
the army regulations forbidding gambling
He added that among those who frequent
ed the club were three princes of 4 ruling
German house. The Socialist leader then
asked why the minister OF war. General
Won Goss,er. usually quick in preventing
papers from speaking disresp ectfuuy Of
the army. had not proceeded against the
Tageblatt, which had given details in con-
neCtiOn with these clubs severely reflect
ing on army officers To this query the
minister made an evasive reply. Herr
Bebel. continuing. said that the extent TO
which gambling flourished in the Turf
club " saproved by the fact that the club
last year received $4,000 marks from card
money. An investigation made by the
correspondent Of the Associated Press has
more than corroborated the above state
ments. It seems that 50 per cent of the
membership Of the club consisted Of Of

forces Of the army, and that the fire.

pose. The mos tplainspoken article was
published in the Cologne Volks Zeitung,
which said that the Americans were
greatly mistaken il they imagined that
all the yielding in the efforts to arrange d
treaty would be done by Germany. Con-
tinuing the paper remarked: Whether,

There is a strongly growing sentiment
in favor Of excluding foreign-born princes
from succession TO German thrones. The
death Of the hereditary prince OF Saze-Co-
burg and Gotha and the question OF the
succession to the throne Of Saxe-CoDurg
and Gotha has started a discussion which
has taken a violent form in some of the
papers. The Munich Nuest Nachrichten
takes vigorous exception 70 the fact that
the succession was decided by a family
council Of English-speaking princes pre-
sided over by Queen Victoria, and says:
It is intolerabe that such a decision should
be made by Engiishmen. We do not blame
the English branch of the Coourgs for
having turned entirely English, nor do we
blame young COnnaught. He may be the
incest fellow in the world; but il remains
that an Englshman is out Of place on a
German throne" The paper mentioned
then advocates passing q law regulating
the succession to German thrones, in a
way TO forever exclude family rights of
succession held by foreiSn-born persons.
This is by no means the most violent ex-
preston of opinion. Even some OF the
newspapers close TO the government spoke
in a similar sense, but with more caution.
A member of the bundesrath informs the
correspondent of the Associated Press that
the bundesrath has often discussed the
matter during the past month and that,
while nobody thinks of excluding the pres
ent heir to the throne Of Coburg, some
new legislation on the subject Will shortly
be proposed in the bundesrath jointly by
the German governments, and that later

ISOLATED Press: The negotiations between
Germany and the United States in regard

on here, have ceased for the present and

is the one that Washington IS nearer, in
