In this campaign than it has received
up to this time. There Is no reason
why with united efforts on the part OF
the Republican managers In the state
OF Pennsylvania we should not reclaim
at least six districts now represented
by Democrats, and It ought to be the
desire OF every earnest man residing
within the limits of that state to

ASHBRIDGE TAKES A HAND.
Congressman McAleer, who desires
to succeed himself in the Third dis
trict, called on Mayor Ashbridge last
week and was in close conversation
with him for quite a while. After he
had gone the mayor was seen and ask
ed as to the cause Of the Democratic
congressman's visit. Mayor Ashbridge
In response said: Mr.. McAleer called
on me for the purpose Of soliciting the
sGppOrt o. ny administration in his
can, SIS for reelection. ! told him
that while ! had no personal interest
in the candidate for congress in any
of the districts, that | had been asked
several times by Chairman Mark Han
ma to do all could to elect a Repub-
lican in the Third congressional dis
trict. That in addition to that both
Chairman Babcock and sub-Chairman
Loudenslager had seen me several times
in relation to the matter and had urged
upon me the necessity Of sending a
Republican from that district.
Continuing the mayor said: "ln my
talks with Mr.. Babcock no told me |
that the Republican party expected to
gain at least six congressman from |
Pennsylvania, and | have told him
that unless he and Mr.. Hanna put
stop to the work Of some of their al
legged friends in this stat9 we were |
more likely to lose three or four con- |
gressmen instead OF gaining SIX"

stead OF that he has switched off on
to the farmer issue and has informed
the farmers of West Virginia how they
have suffered under the Mckinley ad-
mlnistration. He tells them that the
times are hard, and that they havn
got any money, or if they have it is not
due to the Republican policy. He also
promises to give them more money.
but neglects to say that this new money
will not be worth half as much as their
present money. To be sure. he says il
has happened that the farmers have
never had better crops of better de-
mand for them at home or abroad and
that money Is pouring into this coun.
try from Europe: but this only happen
ed-the Republicans had nothing to do
with 1t. And so forth. II really Is an
interesting question whether Mr.. Bry
an or any other sane man can actually
believe that the intelligent farmers OF
America take any stock In such trans
parent nonsense as this, when the
simple fact is that the farmers are in
much better condition than they were
four years ago, and, indeed, were never
SO we'll off as now. This is the univer-
sal testimony o fthe farmers them
selves in all sections Here are few
figures:
The average value Of farm animals
has teadily increased from 1897 to 1900.
The average for horses advanced from
$31 in 1896 to s44 in 1900; the average
value of mules from SAL in 1896 to $50
in 1900, and Of cows from $23 to 81. In
1896 the average value of corn was 21h
cents bushel; In 1899 the average
value was 1903 cents. In 1900 the total
wealth in the hands Of the farmers of
America was $4,000, ,OO0, 900 more than
at the close Of Cleveland's administra-
ton. Their exports Of breadstuffs last
year amounted In value to $263, ,000. 900.
or 500. .0o0, 900 more than in any year
Of Cleveland's term. The audacity Of
standing UP before the farmers and
telling them that they are not pros

Twenty New Cases Of Contagious
Diseases Were Reported to the
Board Of Health Yesterday-Com-

That the sperad of diphtheria and
scarlet fever in this city is not being
lessened to any considerable extent
was evidenced yesterday, when Health
officer Allen closed two more schools,
percentage of children in those two
buildings who were down sick with
either Of the aforementioned diseases.
Both of these schools are located in
the western portion Of Hyde Park, and
from the number of cases in each school
1t would appear that these two dis
eases are prevalent In that section TO
a more alarming extent than any other
in the city. At No. 10, at the corner OF
Jackson street and Rebecca avenue,
ninety-fve pupils are i'll with con-
tagious diseases, and at No. 81, which
Is located at the corner Of jackson
street and Van Buren, avenue, almost
half of the scholars are afflicted with
either diphtheria or scarlet fever. No.
c5 was reopened yesterday.
The record book kept by the secre-
tary Of the board of health Is being
gradually filled up with the records Of
cases, just an even twenty being re-
ported yesterday.
The committee appointed by the
board of controI to decide upon a
means Of disinfection met yesterday
afternoon in the Office of the health
officer and spent almost two hours In
discussion Of the various methods OF
fumigating and disinfection. While the
intention of Controller Langan, upon
whose motion the committee was ap-
pointed, was to have it decide upon a
means for fumigating the buildings
now closed or to be closed in the near
future, the members Of the committee
itself take a different view Of the mat
ter and are. going to decide upon q
means for fumigating the buildings
permanently hereafter.
The committee decided yesterday to
personally visit the various school
buildings for the purpose Of eXamin-
