THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS
The Convention at Erie This Week
and Some of Its Novel Features.

ana some OF It's novel FeatureS.
The State League of Republican
Clubs, which is holding its annual
convention in Erie this week, is one
of the most unusual gatherings Of its
kind ever assembled within the bor-
ders of the state. The attendance is
larger, as indicated by the number of
special trains engaged than ever be-
fore in the history of the league. The
enthusiasm is greater because Of the
novelties that have been introduced
into the campaign.
Perhaps the most striking of these
is a great ball marked with Pennsyl-
vania's record of Republican patriot
ism and carrying the pictures of
Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt,
Judge Pennypacker and the Republi-
can candidates of this year, which is
being taken to Erie on a special car
and from there is to be rolled back
phia. The idea. which was evolved
from the fertile brain of a couple OF
Philadelphia Republicans, Joseph M.
Huston and J. Hampton Moore, city
treasurer Of Philadelphia, is that at
the border of each county a number
of Republicans representing that coun-
ty shall take the ball in charge, roll
1t along the highways to the borders
of the adjoining county, where It will
in turn pass into other hands, and so
on through the state.
1t is expected that this novel spec
tacle will attract thousands to the
line of the balls progress and excite
universal enthusiasm among the Re-
publicans OF the state.

The UNION PARTY ROW
Attempt of Democracy to Steal tho
PARTY Opens Ewes of the Peonle.

~ OPS'o W VIC SSP'S'
If ever the so-called Union Party had
any standing before the people OF
Pennsylvania it was irrevocably lost
by the barefaced attempt of the Demo
Gratis, with Democratic money in its
pocket and black-jacks and ax-handles
In its hands, to capture the party at
its Philadelphia convention.
That this political hybrid is dead is
shown by the action of the principal
men In its councils 10 organize an
other party called the Ballot Reform
Party" Papers have been filed with
this object in view. The same men
who helped the Democracy in its at
tempt to capture the Union Party con
ventiOn have signed their names to
the papers Of the Ballot Reform Par
ty"
On this subject the Pittsburg Com
merciaI Gazette has this to say about
the Union Party and it's rowdy Dem
ocratic members:
''The riotous proceedings of the
Union Party gathering at Philadel-
lack of unity of an eastern sentiment
that plasters itself with large reform
labels. Riotous doings in political
gatherings are never to be commend
ed but the disorder in this case is a
useful straw showing that real reform
can't be headed off by machine work
ers wearing a reform mask. The
Union Party as an organization was
financed a year ago from the same
barrel that supplied the backbone for
the Democratic ticket. The net result
of the operation was to wreck the
Philadelphia Democratic organiza-
ton"
"Undeterred by this boomerang, the
same financial power this year again
undertook to control the real as well
as make-believe reform sentiment en-
braced in the Union organization.
Hence there is a Union split that
promises to make business for the
courts and the lawyers. The first
round ends in a knock down. figura-
lively and literally, Of the Democratic
barrel faction. 1t is probably at the
same time the beginning of the end
of the Union Party.
"Whatever may happen to the Union
factions In their contest in the courts,
the differences revealed furnish proof
that the tide of public sentiment runs
strongly in the direction of a largely
increased Republican majority as
compared with last year"

The WatChWord of Women.

Modesty is wOman's watchword.
Whatever threatens her delicate sense
of mOdesty, frightens her. For this
reason many a woman permits disease
of the delicate womanly organs to
become aggravated because she can
not bring herself to submit to the or
deal of unpleasant questionings. often
sive examinations, and obnoxious lOc-
al treatments, which some phvsic-
lans find necessary. Doubtless thous-
ands of the women who have taken ad
vantage of DR.. Pierce's offer Of the
free consultation by letter, have been
led to do so by the escape thus offered
from treatment repugnant to mod
esty. Any sick woman may write to
DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y, in perfect
condolences all letters being treated
as strictly private and sacredly conf
Dental; and all answers being sent in
plain envelopes with no advertising or
other printing upon them. DR.. Pierce

ers and employees of horse, cable and
electric railways, was passed by the
legislature of 1887. The legislature of
labor in this state by prohibiting the
employment of any child under the
age of u years by any individual, firm
or company, to do any work in any
mill, mandatory or mine, or any
work pertaining thereto.
Going a step beyond the mere enact
ment of laws protecting coal miners,
the assembly of 1889 enacted the law
compelling the examination of miners
in the anthracite region for the pur-
pose of preventing the employment of
incompetent persons in those mines.
The factory law of the state which
regulates the employment and provid
ed for the safety of women and chill
dren in mercantile industries and man
ufacturing establishments, and to pro-
vide for the appointment of inspectors
to enforce this law, became operative
through the action of the legislature of
1889
ALL CLASSES PROTECTED.
So the long line of beneficial laws
might be continued. Inc toiler in the
tenement house, the woman in the
store, the mechanic at the bench, the
young woman at the cigar table, the
worker in the mine, the puddler in the
mill, all enjoy whatever of comfort,
convenience and protection they have
to the wisdom of Republican legisla-
tors and the efforts of Republican
statesmen.
1t is understood that one of the bat
tie cries of the Democracy this fall is
to be the declaration that the Republi-
can party has done little or nothing
for the working man. 1t is false,
wretchedly false, as the Pamphlet Laws
of Pennsylvania demonstrate in all the
publications from 1865 to 1902.
