THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

And now | desire to present to you
some statistics bearing upon the al
legged disagreement of the state Of
Pennsylvania, a state whose only
cause to blush is that her own chill
dren are traducers. assert that
PENNSYLVANIA is the best governed
state in this Union-look at her educa-
tional system.
Under the Democratic administra-
tion in 1860 the amount appropriated
for common schools was S2SO,000. In
1868 the Republicans had removed the
state tax from real estate and in
creased the common school appropria-
tion to rs per cent over 1860.
In 1874 they had increased it 374
per cent. over 1860 and at the last
session Of the legislature it was in
creased more than 500 per cent. over
1874.
From 1851 to 1860. inclusive, the last
ten years of Democratic control the
,mount was s2,411,500.
The amounts appropriated from 1893
10 1902, inclusive, were Sl5,55O,OOo.
From 1888 to 1892, inclusive, were $21,-

NO TARIFF REVISION.

We in Pennsylvania are satisfied
with existing conditions, and as to re-
vision, will have none. Agitators may
cry "Revisionl" Revision" but there
will be no revision while Pennsylvania
maintains her commanding position in
the Republican party and nation-a
position she can only maintain by abb
solute harmony in council and unity
in action among her Republican voters.
The present campaign of the Democ-
racy in Pennsylvania presents a spec
tacle unique in its effort to obllterate
the evidence of the existence Of that
party and the memory of its mis-
deeds
They merely scold and defame pub
lie officials, befoul the reputation OF
the state which shelters them, bark
at Quay and vouch for their own in
tegrity. You have all heard their

sciousness that their fellow men were

HENSEL TAKES WATER
The Democratic Ex-Attorney General
Refuses to Accept Quay's
ChaIenue.

The defiance of Senator Quay tC
Democratic ex-Attorney General w. U
Hensel, and Democratic camp follow
ers generally, demanding that he re
veal the names of members of the
legislature whom he (HenseD said
were bribed, was met with a back
down. Hensel failed absolutely tc
name any one.
1t was in Philadelphia, at the Acad-
emy of Music on Saturday night last,
and a more complete political back,
down was never seen in state politics.
Hensel was the star speaker at the
Democratic mass meeting. When he
came to Senator Quay's defiance, ut
tered in Pittsburg the night before, he
endeavored to turn it aside.
Instead of answering Quay's demand
that he give the names of the bribed
and bribers, he invited Senator Quay
to make his queries on that subject of
some one else.
The Philadelphia Press had this to
say of the Hensel fiasco:
disappointment was the central
feature of the Democratic meeting at
the Academy Of Music last night The
big auditorium was only half filled at
$50 o'clock, when the managers, who
had been hopefully awaiting the gr-
rival of more persons, reluctantly
forced their star attractions onto the
stage and called less than 1,50O people
TO order.
The chief disappointment, however,
was for the comparatively small num-
ber of persons preseGt-most Of them
had been attracted by the Pittsburg
challenge of Senator Quay to former
Attorney General Hensel to be spe-
cific in his charges Of corruption and
name the members of the legislature
who were bribed, the amounts they re-
ceived and the men who paid them.
Following the many charges of bribery
and this bold note of defiance to the
Democrats from Senator Quay the ex-
pectation was general among those who
went to the Academy of Music last
night that Mr.. Hensel would say some
thing sensational. He did not, how
ever.
The Press then gives some quota
tions from Hensels back down speech,
refusing to give names or specific
facts.
What Mr.. Hensel failed to say was
that all rumors of bribery concerned
Democrats, members of his own party.
and for that reason he did not dare to
mention names.
This ended the Democratic sensa-
tion begun by Pattison, Hensel & Co.
and promptly squelched by State Chair
man Quay.

STRIFE MUST CEASE.

This is certain: The time has come
when the Republicans in Pennsylva-
mia for their own sakes must cease
intestine strife and form line of bat
tie for resistance to the common en-
emy. We have recently seen the sheet
lightning and heard the voice of a COM
ing storm in the northwestern states.
We have listened to the utterances Of
our brethren in Iowa, Wisconsin and
elsewhere, and have witnessed the dra-
matte and pathetic exit from public
life of the distinguished speaker of
the national house of representatives.
The tariff is the life of Pennsylvania.
This great city is its creature of which
it is the vital and sustaining force. 1t
is making this region near the forks
of the Ohio a metropolis of industry,
commerce and wealth which will
shortly house a population of mil
lions.
The present tariff fulfills all national
requirements and oppresses no person
or interest. II needs no revision. Re
vision of the tariff means reduction of
the tariff. Reduction of the tariff
means reduction of the profits Of the
manufacturer Reduction of the profits
of the manufacturer means reduction
of the wages of the laborer. Reduction
of the wages of the laborer means loss
Of business to those who supply the
laborer with the necessities and COM
forts of life.

The Carnegie Music Hall, Pittsburg,
was packed to its capacity last Friday
night to hear United States Senator
Quay chairman of the Republican
State Committee discuss the issues Of
the campaign.
Senator Quay's speech was one of the
most striking ever delivered by po-
litical leader He unreservedly defied
the Democratic assailants OF the Re-
publican party to prove their asser-
tions, and declared that the policy of
protection was safe as long as Penn
sylvania stood firmly in line.
Attempts have been made by Demo-
cratic newspapers to distort the speech
and for that reason it is here given in
full. Senator Quay said:
The conditions in the Republican
stronghold in Allegheny county are not
happy. remember the fable of the
man who interfered in the battle be-
tween husband and wife, and if were
to pronounce upon the merit of your
present controversy | would not be
here. Always | have stood for party
regularity. Always since the Republi-
can party was organized have voted
n straight Republican ticket.
Many Of my best friends at times
have disagreed with this policy, but
generally | have found them dissatis-
fed in the end with the result of their
experiment In alliances with the Dem
ocratic party the Democrats always get
the oyster, the Republicans get the
shell. Some gentlemen in Allegheny
county in 1890 assisted to place Mr..
Pattison in the gubernatorial chair
and will remember the bitter repulses
and disappointments they experienced
at his hands.
Within more recent years some OF
your people in the legislature became
involved with the Democracy in a
lookup of the United States senator
ship at Harrisburg. Since then they
have endured much buffeting whilst
the Democracy thrived and laughed.
hope my friends in what is known as
the Citizens party may do better than
this, but fear they will do worse

ten years over the preceding ten years
Of ever $50 per cent.
The appropriations for salaries Of
county superintendents of common
schools from 1888 to 1902, inclusive,
were s1,0O2, 900. From 1888 TO 1892. in
elusive, were sSGO,0OO.
The amount paid by that state to its
counties for school purposes at the
rate of sl.45 for each enumerated
youth, was $1,769, 1923, of which the
real estate of the counties contributed
all but $3.50, 1858, while the tax upon
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc, paid
a large part of the last named amount.
This tax on real estate was in addi-
tion to the local school taxes.
Pennsylvania pays about 81 each for
her total number of pupils, and its
real estate contributes nothing.
During and since the Civil War to
May 81, 1902 Pennsylvania has ex-
pended for the support and education
of soldiers and sailors orphans SILL
573,S3393.
Over 1900 Of such pupils have been
admitted to her soldiers orphans
schools and we are now maintaining
and educating nearly eleven hundred.
Another comparison Of great import
ance may be cited.
The state Of debt of Pennsylvania in
1861 was $4O,44S,213 or over 1881
for every man, woman and child with
in its borders. Today the state debt
of Pennsylvania is not five cents per
capita.
The annual interest on our state debt
in 1860 was s1,96O,OOO. Today it is
practically nothing.
AS TO BALLOT REFORM.
The Republican state committee at
its recent session appointed sub-com-
mittees to formulate new ballot and
primary election laws. Their report
was anticipated at an early date, but
the chairman of one of the committees
has been in the field with the National
Guard, and the other committee, after
giving full hearings to all interested,
is awaiting the report of two distin-
guished attorneys, Hon. Alexander
Simpson and Hon. Richard C. Dale,
who are engaged in the preparation of
a ballot reform bill.
When these committees are ready to
report the Republican organization
will take position. Speaking for my
self, the Van Dyke primary law which
passed the house of representatives at
the last session of the legislature, was
as fair and effective an instrument as
could be framed.
My own preference would be for a
return to the old law, which permitted
every voter to write or print his own
ballot; with proviso that each voter
shall enter private booth alone and in
which he shall seal his ballot in an Of
fetal envelope, winch he shall hand to
the election officers. This would pre-
vent espionage upon the voter, secure
an absolutely free vote and rid us Of
the present litigious and cumbrous bal
lot and mushroom parties. | regret to
say that my views do not seem to i'm
press the distinguished jurists now op-
Grating upon the issue.

A LIE NAILED.

II is false that | was elected by any

ity of ~ included just one Democrat,
who voted against my express wish.
II is false that the vote of single
delegate was purchased in the late
Republican state convention.
If it is true, who was the delegate?
What was the amount paid and who
paid It? II will be remembered that
the same charge was made by dis
tinguished and defeated candidate fol
governor before the Democratic state
convention, which met at Altoona in
1898 and nominated Mr.. jerks.
II is false that Samuel w. Penny.

sylvania who were absolutely hostile

packers name; one was Judge Penny
packer, the other was NJ. s. Quay. It
was very certain that the broad minded
leaders OF the opposition would make
personal campaign upon the ground
that the great-grandfather of Judge
Pennypacker was the half-brother of
my grandfather, and the prospect was
not pleasant. Judge Pennypacker him
self preferred the bench to the execu.
tive chair.
AS to legislative corruption, there
may be evil spirits in the legislature,
as in all civic and military bodies, but
to denounce a legislature as corrupt
upon the newspaper assertion of the
corruption of one or two of its men,
bers, is as equitable as to charge that
the people of Pittsburg were thieves
because a thief had been arrested on
your streets.

HENSEL MUST GIVE NAMES.

| see that my friend Hensel has ex.
perienced a sudden attack of Quay.
phobia and that he is in travail be.
cause of corruption which will only
be brought to light upon the chal-
lenge OF Senator Penrose or Senator
Quay. Whatever the case and who
ever the criminal, challenge Mr.. Hen
sci to produce his charge, his specifi-
cations and his proof. If he does not,
he fails in his duty to the public.
The peripatetics Of the opposition
produce but three cases of alleged cor.
ruption at Harrisburg which they
claim were fully established. First,
there was the scandal on the Clarion
Normal School. 1t was asserted that
s2,5OO had been paid to the legislature
for an appropriation to that institu-
tion.
have seen no statement anywhere
to establish that it had been actually
paid, nor by whom, nor to whom it was
paid. The only member of the legis.
lature named in its connection were
two Democrats. one of whom has been
renominated.
It was alleged also by the same CO
terie of scandal mongers that a hid
eous case was made out against Mr.
Harris, the present state treasurer.
Investigation disclosed that Mr.. Har-
ris when member of the legislature
went to Harrisburg after the legisla-
ture had adjourned at the request of
the officers of a Clearfield county insti-
tuition to represent them before the
governor, and had rendered bill for
800 or 5000 for that service and other
extra legislative services in their be-
half which the institution had refused
to pay. That was the extent of the
horrible case of corruption in Clear
field county.
Again It is said that my friend,
David B. Oliver, is cognizant of a case
in point-indeed. have read his
speech. which was direct and peril
nent. but Mr.. Oliver does not disclose
the identity of the heavy villain in the
case nor the attendant circumstances.
Mr.. Oliver should give them to the
public. He should hew to the line, let
the chips fall where they may.
These are the only instances, so fer
as have found, produced by the scan
dal mongers to sustain their charges
that the state which gives them shell
ter and has given them prominence
and wealth is debauched, robbed and
misgoverned.
