LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA.
List of Fatalities Last Year COhsil. eFably Lower Than for Pre-
 VlOuH Year.

The annual report of the supervising inspector general of steamboats, which has just been made public in the form of an abstract, contains highly inter esting exhibit of the numbers of lives lost at sea from American vessels dur ng the last calendar year, together with other important correlated infor nation. It appears from this document that the total number of persons drowned, or who came to their death in other ways, was 4O4, which is consid- erable increase over the previous year, when the aggregate of fatalities was 123 less. This increase was due to the laundering of the steamer Portland off the Massachusetts coast during the great gale on the night of Novemb Der 27, 1898. Every one of the 127 persons on board perished.
 Of the total of 404 S6 fatalities were chargeable to accidental drowning, 213 persons went down with wrecks, 13 succumbed 10 fires, 31 were killed in collisions, 24 were the victims of ex- plosions or of accidental escape of steam, and in 37 cases miscellaneous causes were reported.
 The chapter on destruction of vessel property shows that 4S vessels met with accidents, seven had fires, 13 were in collision, eight experienced breaking of steam pipes, two had explosions and IS encountered snags and wrecks or developed leaks. As the duty of the supervising inspector generals office is to ascertain whether steam vessels have compiled with all the safety require- ments in the matter of live-s saving appli- ances and relative to the condition of boilers the report may be considered a favorable exhibit The destruction of the Portland was not due 10 laxness on the part of inspectors. but to the reck- iessness of her captain, who insisted on putting out to sea in the teeth of fierce storm.
 Except for this disaster, the loss of life would have been comparatively small Only two vessels were damaged by explosions-an excellent record con- sldering the extent of steam water traffic.-Baltimore Herald.

aot responsible, but the fact remains
that the administration OF the present
state treasurer has been so business
like and vigorous that he can proclaim
to the people of Pennsylvania that out
of $500 common school districts in the
state but 81 are not paid In full. OF
these So districts which have not been
paid in full five have received nothing
as yet. Seven have been paid in part,
and 40 are held because certain re-
ports and affidavits required by law
have not been filed.
SCHOOL ACCOUNTS SETTLED.
"At this time it will be observed
there are but II in shape to receive
payment in full. Doubtless since my
last information from Harrisburg the
state treasurer has settled with all the
school districts that are ready with
their accounts, except two-Pittsburg
and iladelphia-which have been
paid in part. The whole school ac-
count will this year be settled with
the school districts more promptly and
at an earlier date than ever before in
the history of the state
while in past years the state treas
urer has had frequent calls from school
boards claiming that their collector was
slow about collecting taxes and re-
questing an advance on their appro-
priation, this year the state treasurer's
payments have been SO prompt that
he has been obliged to turn the tables
completely and ask the school districts
to file their reports in order that a
warrant may be issued for the amount
due them.
The cashier of the state treasury
has actually been obliged to send no
tices to various school districts which
have failed to file the necessary affi-
davit and certificate before a warrant
can be issued asking that the law be
complied with, as he is anxious tc
complete the payment of the appro-
priation to the common schools of the
commonwealth without delay.
"The state treasury of Pennsylvania.
under a Republican administration is
certainly entitled to full recognition

plendd exhibit of payment of the
school appropriation.

SCHOOL MONEY PAID.
Never in History Of the State We're
Payments Made so Promptly.
A MOST MAGNIFICENT SHOWING

Republican Leaders Point With Pride
to the Early Settlements In the
Various School Districts and the
Record of State Treasurer Barnett.
The remarkable condition of the
state treasury and the promptness with
which the school funds are being paid
under the administration of the pres
ent Republican state treasurer, has
hampered the Union party managers
and the Democracy in their political
campaigning.
They have been unable to attack the
conduct of the present state treasurer,
Colonel James e. Barnett, and an in
vestigation into the management of
his Office has shown that he Is entitled
to praise OF the highest character. He
has given close attention to every de-
tail of his administration and has ex-
tended a general invitation to all citi-
zens who wish to learn about the con-
dition of the state finances to visit his
office and he will submit for inspection
may be In his possession.
CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
United States Senator Penrose, in
commenting upon the matter of state
finances last week said:
Last week | had occasion to refer
In a speech in Philadelphia to the re-
markable exhibit made by the state
treasury of Pennsylvania l showed
that the state of Pennsylvania had
never lost a dollar by reason of NAL
feasance or mismanagement in the
whole history Of the state; that the
state was practically out of debt, owing
the inconsiderable sum of $3.50 900; that
the state of Pennsylvania made more
generous provision for public education
by far than any of the states, appro-
priating over GA per cent. of all the
revenues fer educational purposes; and
that the payments had been made to
the school districts up to the present
time more promptly and rapidly than
ever before in the history of the state.
II desire again to call attention to
this remarkable showing of the school
appropriation, because in past years
she state treasurer has been bitterly
assailed by reason of delays sometimes
occurring in the payment OF the Rchool
appropriations to the various districts.
These delays have usually occurred
by reason Of deficiency in the state
receipts. over which the state treasurer
had no control and for watch he was

county he will be arrested as a

card OH hirn Judge Yerkes will
send him to Jail as vagrant. No
Judge In the days of Edward III
of England took greater delight in
sentencing the unfortunate, Idle
wofkingmeI to JAZZ than Judge
Harman Yerkes.
The workingmen OF reznsylva-
MIA cannot afford to uS*o for a man
so much out of sympathy with the
spirit of the times as Judge Har-
man Yerkes.
The experience wGrkingmen
of Philadelphia had with Judge
Harman Yerkes convinced them
that he was a judicial tyrant who
embraced every opportunity to
show his enmity to labor unions.
His actions showed that his SYM
pathies are with the interests that
are opposed to recognition of the
rights or LABOR.
The records of the men resp0n-
Bible for Harman Yerkes being
on the tickets of the fusion par
ties have convinced union men
that he has not changed his con-
victions and is now more disposed
to treat cases in which organized
wage earners are concerned with
fairness. than he was when he
tried the street car men.
No worltingman who has the in
terest of his class at heart should
vote for Harman Yerkes. A judge
who makes a convict out of an
unemployed man commits a crime
against the unfortunate.
A judge who favors corporations
is a foe to workingmen.
A man who took advantage Of
his judicial position to stigmatiZe
trade unions as the breeders of
riot, and to brand their leaders
as ruffians and desperadoes
should not receive the vote of a
single labor man.
The interests which forced the
nomination of Harman Yerkes
are opposed to labor organiza-
tions.
1t is the duty of every working
man who wishes to protect the in
terests of his class to vote against
Harman Yerkes.

AN OLD GAME REVIVED
Democratic Denunciation of Re"
publicans Renewed.
THEY ARE AFTER THE sPoILs


Side-Tracked BY the Work OF
Aspiring Politicians With Personal
interests to Serve.
IAN effort is being made by the yell
low journals and the Democratic press,
to belittle the work of the Republican
administration in this state through
denunciation," said Secretary of Agri-
culture John Hamilton. "They hope,
by the use of noise and vitupeTation to
convince the people that the party is
corrupt. The complete and irrefutable
answer to all of their malicious decla-
rations is the fact that when the Re
publicans are in power the state is
prosperous, and when they are dis
placed, even for but a year or two
the injurious effect is at once felt by
every trade and occupation.
Their party, whether national or
state, and its allies, cannot point to a
single progressive act which it has ad-
vocated for the past 40 years It's only
work in all of these years has been
to oppose.
''If it had had its way this nation
would now be a disjointed collection
Of states, the curse of slavery would
still exist, and be a competitor of paid
labor. The currency would be debased.
Exports of American manufacturers
would have ceased long ago. Labor
would be unemployed. Industrial ex-
pansion would never have been pos
sible.
HONORABLE REPUBLICAN NAMES.
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Arthur,
Harrison and Mckinley would never
have been Presidents of the United
States, and every Republican senator
and member of congress would have
been thrown out of Office.
mo Republican Judge, whether local,
district superior or supreme could
have held office.
"No legislator, who was a Repub-
lican or governor, or other officer, who
held to Republican principles could
have been elected. They have opposed
every one of these men in the last
40 years, precisely as they now oppose
Judge Potter and Mr.. Harris. .
They have predicted every calamity
that can come to a people, as the re-
suit of the election of their opponents,
and in every instance they have been
shown to have been mistaken They
have called all of them, from Lincoln
to Mckinley, every vile name that
could be invented, and now simply
continue to use, in regard to the pres
ent candidates, the same old methods
of vilification They never learn.
Even experience, which is generally
d successful teacher to the dullest, has
failed to instruct them. They have
gone on the assumption that the people
are, if not fools, at least easily fooled,
and that assertion, vituperation ana
noise, persisted in, will take the place.

Remember that the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley en-
couraged the insurgents in the
Philippines with the hope that
the American government might
fall. They at once renewed at

many of them in ambush.
Republican defeat will
further incite these insur-
gents to increased activity.

NAVAL CONSTRUCTION BOARD
An Inquiry Regarding Modern Meth
DDS InauRurafed

The naval board of construction has
taken up the important work of investi-
eating the construction of battle ships and
cruisers under modern conditions. The
inquiry covers questions as to the weight
and extent of armor, the form and Ioca-
tion of turrets, the kind of guns on vari-
Gus ships, the extent OF using electricity
and the relative merits of sheathed and
unsheathed vessels. At the same time.
plans are to be prepared for two sea-
going battle ships and two armored
cruisers carrying the most suitable armor
and armament for vessels of their class.
Secretary Long has called for the advice
of the board prior TO the individual at
tention he will give to the subject accord
ing to an act of the last Congress. Mem
bers of the board express the belief that
the inquiry will prove of great Importance,
as 1t has brought out a strong tendency
for certain changes and improvements In
methods Of construction, which are likely
to result in ships of advance type.
