who believe in recognizing the will Of
thsma1ority'as fundamental doctrine
ofs-thsir party. The Democrats have
alrsto sgain-and nothing to lose in this
game of practical politics. The Repub-
lican voters of Pennsylvania are begin
ming to appreciate this fact, and they
will not be gotten to give encourage
ment and assistance to the political en-
emy merely to satisfy the ambition OF
a few disgruntled members of their
party who are following q selfish and
personal insurgent leadership.
MUST WIN CoNGRESSMEN.
Word has been received from the
chairman of the Republican congress
sional campaign committee that there
must be Republican gains from Penn
sylvania at next November's election
of members Of congress. The Demo-
Gratis are talking quite boastfully at
Washington about their chances OF
carrying the next house of representa-
tives and securing the power and pa
tronage that goes with the organiza-
tiOn of that body. Experience has
taught that congressional elections are
frequently involved In much uncertain
ty, even when there is no doubt Of how
the country is going to vote on the
presidency. The national Republican
leaders propose to bend every energy
toward winning every doubtful con-
gressional district. and they look for
not less than four gains from Pennsyl-
Vania. There were ten Democratic
candidates for congress elected in this
state to the present house. Since the
election on1Representative Joseph c. Sib-
ley has repudiated the Democracy. and
he was recently nominated for congress
by the Republicans of his district. The
others who were elected as Democrats
to the present house from this state
were Representatives McAleer, Barber,
Green, Polk, Davenport, Ryan, Ziegler.
CASTOR and Hall. The Republicans OF
the Third district of this city declare
that McAleer is not to have another
term. and that he will be succeeded by
a Republican. Select Councilman Hen
ry Clay is the only Republican so far
mentioned for this nomination. and
should he be nominated determined
effort will be made to elect him.
The districts now represented by
Congressman Barber, Polk, Davenport.
Ryan and CASTOR it is thought will
surely be carried by the Republicans
this fall. The congressional campaign
in Pennsylvania will be one of the
features Of the coming canvass, and 1t
will be given close attention by the
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee.

Republican national convention. She
will have next to the largest delegation
on the floor of the convention, and al
though there is not apt to be any con-

will be felt in the committee rooms and
in the discussions Of party policies at
the hotels and in the private confer

be found among the delegates from the
Keystone state men of affairs in their

gained prominence in the professions

be reelected to represent Pennsylvania

He is at present member of the ex-

In number of cases the political
leaders of districts have stepped aside
this year in order to allow business
men. manufacturers and other admirers
of President Mckinley who do not or
dinarily figure in politics to go to the
national convention. 1t is a true blue
Mckinley delegation, and there Is no
need of instructions from the state or
district conventions to bind the mem
bers of the delegations to Mckinley.
Several districts have yet to elect

MUSICAL.

The Ladies' Trio and Lillian Carllsmith
scored a distinct success at the concert
given at the Carroll Club Auditorium, last
evening, under the auspices of the Wom-
ans Musical Club The audience was a
remarkably large one for the Lenten sea-
son, during which so many deny them
selves all forms of enjoyment, and the re-
suit both from a musical and financial
point of view, was satisfactory. A change
was announced in the composition of the
trio at the last moment. Miss Ida Branth
having been substituted for Miss Rossi

of Hair anr Joachim, early demonstrated
that she was brilliant violiniste, and

to be desired. Her tones were strong

of conception which, added to the splendid
technique, produced results of the most
pleasing character. The ensemble work
was also of the best, and the trio, collect
lively and individually, is one well worth
hearing and deserves its good reputation
among musical people.
Miss Carllsmith has voice of which this
may be said: AS whole 1t is rich and
agreeable, with a rather exceptional de-
gree of power. 1t is best-or was last even

MIR. CARNEGIE WRONG.

In Mr.. Carnegie's statement to the
court it is averred that during all the
years of the associations existence
Carnegie was the sole man who
never lost faith or faltered in his be.
lief that the city of Pittsburg was the
best place in the world to make steel
cheapest" This is a weak point in
Mr.. Carnegie's defense and is evidently
put in to win the favor of the Pitts.
burg public.
Steel can be manufactured in Wheel.
ing to-day as cheaply as it can be made
in Pittsburg, if not cheaper. All Of
our raw materials are as handy as
Pittsburg's, and when the railroad pro-
jected from Connellsville to Wheeling
is completed Pittsburg Will have nc
point of vantage over Wheeling as g
steel manufacturing centre, but will
really lag point or two behind, since
the prices of materials and general ex.
penses are considerably less in Wheel.
ing than in Pittsburg.
1t is somewhat significant that the
fact is made prominent by Mr.. Carne-
gle that he was the sole man" oil
the Carnegie company who thought as
he did regarding the advantages OF
Pittsburg as steel making centre. II
is to be feared that of late Mr. Car
negie has been too absorbed with his
philanthropic ventures to pay much at
tention to the details of the business
of steel making, or, else he is guilty
of an attempt to Jolly the people Of
the Smokey City.

Many new cotton mill companies
were chartered or projected in the
South last week. In South Carolina
the capital stock of the new companies
aggregated nearly $750,000; in Georgia
100000 and in Texas 100000. Many
more companies will be formed this
week, among them being one at Itasca,
Tex, capital, 800, 900; Pittsburg. Tex.
$4,000; Corsicana, Tex, $150,0O0 Eight
other cotton mill companies in various
parts of Texas are well under way.
Each will have capital of 100000.
1t is easy to see the finish of New
England's supremacy as the cotton
manufacturing centre. The South has
an abundance of cheap labor and the
paramount advantage of being in the
midst of the industry's raw material.

THE FRICK-CARNEGIE SUIT.

y One point in Mr.. Carnegie's state
ment in answer to the bill of Mr..
Prick is especially interesting as to
what in the opinion of this rd-head-
ed business man and experienced man
ufacturer, constitute the real capital
of industrial establishments of such
great concerns as the Carnegie Steel
Company. He says it is not true that
the company had property worth $780,
10000 on December 81, 1899. He says
he never asserted that the assets of the
company were worth that much, but
repeatedly stated that the personnel
of the organization was worth more
than all it's property. 1t has been the
policy of the company, Mr.. Carnegie
AYERS, as means of securing the best
results and the most intelligent atten-
ton to the details of the business, by
which alone can manufacturing opera
tons be conducted at a profit, to asso-
ciate with it from time to time num-
Der of young employees who, by becom-
ing directly members of the associa-
ton, would be stimulated to do the
very best work. The enormous profits
which have resulted, the ironmaster
therefore says. have been the result Of
brains and intelligence and industry.

THE Dark AND BLOODY GROUND

The situation in Kentucky is rap
idly becoming farcical. Too much
latitude has already been allowed the
reckless revolutionistS who have
seized the State Government and haye
since openly defied the Legislature and
the courts with armed forces. 1t is
high time that this sort of thing were
brought to close, and civilized gov
eminent and law and order re-estab-
lished in Kentucky, though it takes all
the armed forces at the command OF
the legal government to enforce the
law.
Taylors Secretary of State, Powers.
and Captain Davis, of the capital po-
lice, are in Jail at Louisville, and safe
from attempted rescue by Taylor
outlaws-Taylor, it will be remem-
bered, furnished them an escort OF
militia to prevent their arrest by the
police, and to further their escape
from the city.
A portion of the State Guard re-
fuses to obey Taylors command, and
will receive orders only from Gov
ernor Beckham. These have stolen a
| march on Usurper Taylor by quietly
taking charge of all the arms and am
munition in Lexington belonging to
the State Guard.
The desperation of the Repub-
| lican leaders is evidenced by
the effort to kidnap Governor
Beckham. While in Frankfort the
Mayor had heavy guard placed about
| the hotel where Governor Beckham
stopped. The utter recklessness and
desperation of Taylor and his gang
could not be better illustrated.
The Usurper has issued statement
ITO the People of Kentucky" in
which remarkable document he re-
views the contest for Governor from
| his standpoint. He declares that a
conspiracy has been formed to fasten
the assassination of William Goebel
upon 'the Republican State officers,
and attempts to defend his course In
issuing what he calls pardons to Pow
ers and Davis. His statement reveals
the fact that he has also issued SIM
liar "pardons" for all the others ac-
cused of completely in the assassina.

There would seem to be strong
grounds for suspecting the sanity OF

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY
RESTS.

President McKinley's effort to shift
the responsibility for the un-American,
not to say unconstitutional, Porto
Rican tariff onto Secretary Root, who,
it is alleged drew UP the bill, is not
making much Roadway and appears to
excite nothing but disgust for the
pusillanimity of the spineless politician
in the White House.
No matter who drew up the Porto
Rican tariff bill Mr.. Mckinley is re-
sponsible for it since word from him
would have changed the bill as he de-
sired. The fact as acknowledged by
Mr.. Mckinley, that the bill was drawn
by member of the cabinet and then
submitted to the cabinet, including the
President, and was agreed to by the
President and transmitted to Congress,
stamps Mr.. Mckinley with the respons-
Utility for the measure as surely as il
he had written every line of it with his
own hand.
A breezy western contemporary de-
clares that if the duty against Porto
Rico is adopted it must form part of
the platform on which William Nc
Kinley asks the people of the United
States for their suffrages in Nevem-
Der, and adds that sit is not unlikely
that President Mckinley in this tariff
matter may betake himself to some
excuse similar to the stock apology
with which he defends the war in the
Philippines. 1t may be he will declare
that the policy of tariff duty on
Puerto Rico was forced upon his ad-
ministration, that no course was left
but to impose this duty. No excuse of
this kind will for moment be con-
sidered by any reasoning man. Presi-
dent Mckinley must defend his duty
against Puerto Rico on logical, not on
sentimental grounds. No other de-
Tense can be accepted. The people will
remember that President Mckinley at
any time in the course of the measure
could have secured its instant defeat
by the mere intimation of his hostility.
The Porto Rican tariff is William Nc
Kinley's policy and he must go before
the people with all the odium of it on
his record

The Rev. Sheldon, who is run
ming" the Topeka Capital for one
week as he thinks Christ would run
it, is evidently laboring under the de-
fusion that he is making newspaper.
His delusion is a strange one. Thous-
ands of people will take Mr.. Sheldon's
paper out of curiosity, but they will
take other papers for the news of the
world, which Mr.. Sheldon does not
think Christ would print. Mr.. Shell
don is publishing simply strictly re-
ligious daily, filled with sermons and
homilies, excellent, no doubt, in their
way, but hardly sufficient in them
selves to meet the demands of the
American newspaper reader.
