Harrisburg. Aug. 15.--The contest be-
tween the rival factions Of the Philadrl.
phla Democracy for recognition by to-
days Democratic state convention Is
attracting more than usual attention
to the gathering. Attempts were made
yesterday by prominent party leaders
outside Of Philadelphia to restore peace
between the discordnnt elements, but
ull these efforts were in vain.
The list of delegates certified by the
regular city committee, and known rs
the Donnelly-Rynn men, has been
placed on the roll by Chairman Greasy.
This places the delegates certified by
in the position of contestants and forces
them to take the initiative in the con-
vrntiOn for recognition.
National Committeeman Guffey has
reached Harrisburg. and will remain
until after the convention. He is anN-
ious to restore harmony in Phlladcl-
phia, and is hopeful that his efforts in
that direction will prove successful.
There Is no contest for places on the
state ticket, and it is expected that the
nominations will be quickly made and
without friction.
The platform will be similar to the
platform of the Ohio Democracy, and
will treat almost citircly of state is
sues. The resolutions conclude as fol
lows: I'VE especially denoulcc these
alleged Democrats who sold themselves
to the Quay corruptioniStS and betrayed
their party and the people for personal
gain. These traitors deserve the last
ing contempt Of nll decent men. aud
their names should 20 down In history
covered with OblOuuy.'

DEALING WITH CRIMES IN
CANADA.

From the Ch,cago-Times Herald on Jan.
uary lsth, le0l.
"Tne citizens Of the Dominion Of
Canada have just cause to be proud
of their record as law-abiding people.
The annual report OF the criminal
statistics Of the Dominion, which has
q population of over 100000, shows
that there were only twenty-five In.
dictments for murder in 1900, of
which only two were left without
final action. Eleven Of those indicted
were hanged, nine acquitted and
three confined as insane.
Canada is n country Of vast proper
tions. Its people are scattered over
q wide stretch Of territory, making
police surveillance particularly diff
cult and in many districts impossi-
BILE. Yet q city like New York or
Chicago alone furnishes far greater
criminal list every year than tho
whole vast stretch of territory from
Quebec to Vancouver.
1.-THE Canadians ascribe their inn
munity from crime to the prompt
ness with which punishment Is
melted out to offenders. When man
Is caught red-handed in the act Of
robbing another he is not released on
straw bail by some justice of the
peace from the slums, to 60 out and
repeat the offense. Sharp and sure
justice Is meted out to criminals OF
all kinds, the result being that when
the guardians of the public peace
succeed in bringing thug to the bar
they are seldom called upon to hunt
him a second time.
Furthermore there are few court
delays in Canada when a criminal Is
brought to book. They have no
Dreyer cases over there. There are
no methods whereby Canadian GRIM
inals can have the proceedings stayed
from month to month and from year
TO year or after being convicted, APP
peal from one court to another until
witnesses die of old age or opportun-
ities for corruption can be found.
"Nor does this swift method Of
treating with wrong-doers in Canada
leave the innocent unable to proper
~ defend themselves. They have all
the opportunities and privileges that
our own laws extend to them. The
extent to shield the guilty is lacking
that is ALL"
The above taken from the editorial
column of the Times-Herald gives
some idea of the immunity from
crime that exists in Canada, and this
is one Of the many inducements held
out for Americans to settle in the
district known as Western Canada.
The season of 1901 will see few sec
tions of the country opened up for
settlement. They are attractive in
every respect. 1t is understood that
one of the best Indian Reserves in
the famous Valley of the Saskat-
chewan will be opened up this year,
and an invitation is extended to those
desiring homes to make inquiries.
The price Of the land Is said to be
nominal. Besides these lands, the
several railway companies have lands
to sell; also the Government. For
particulars write to the Agent OF the
Government, whose advertisement
appears elsewhere.
