PUBLIC OPINION
Opinions From Various Sources On Po-
litical Questions Of the Day.


Previous to last November there
weren't dozen people in the state west
of Lancaster county who had ever
heard of Pennypacker. Then he wrote
a ridiculously fulsome eulogy of Quay
That absurdity attracted attention to
him as any abnormal characteristic
will attract attention to any one. But
it probably wouldn't have made him
the candidate for governor if the quar-
rel with Stone hadn't turned Quay
against Elkin. That gave the "old
man" a chance TO reward his friend
and punish his enemy at once and he
forced Pennypacker on his wing of the
dent.
The nomination of Ex-Governor Pat
tison for a third term has been in
dorsed with great enthusiasm by nearly
all the Democratic newspapers of the
state. This was to have been expected.
Among the Democrats of the interior
there has been no falling off in his pop
ularity. They will turn out in November
and vote for him, and many of their
neishbors who are Republicans will go
along. The Independent Republican
press Of the state, while conceding the
tempting character of the Cousin
Pennypacker bait landed under their
noses by Senator Quay bear strong tes-
timony to the character and fitness of
both Pattison and Guthrie.-Pittsburg
Post.
If the people of the Quaker State
were not irretrievably welded to the
rule of bosses the nomination of Rob
ert e. Pattison for governor by the
Democrats would present an opportun-
ity for repudiating and rebuking Quay
ism which they would be quick to take
advantage OF.
Ex-Governor Pattison, who enjoys
the distinction of having overturned
the heaviest Republican majority that
is recorded in any state in the union in
two gubernatorial elections, is the fore
most Democrat in Pennsylvania, and by
many regarded as presidential possi-
bility. If by any chance he should be
elected governor this fall he would go
into the national Democratic. conven-
tion with very large and enthusiastic
following.
With an official record and private
career that are above reproach and a
reputation for a well-poised judicial
way of handling executive business ex-
Governor Pattison is certain to COM
mand very large Republican vote in
what is popularity known as an "off-
year" election. Thousands of Republi-
cans will vote for him not only from
personal choice but hoping thereby to
record their protest against the ma
chine politics with which Quay has
burdened the state for years-Times-
Herald, Chicago (Rep).

Opposition to Pennypacker.
Professor John b. Kendall leader of
the Republican, Union forces and who
was elected a member of the legisa-
ture on the fusion ticket four years
ago, is the first of the prominent anti
machine Republicans of Chester coun-
ty to announce himself as opposed to
the election Of Judge Pennypacker. In
giving his reasons therefor he says:
Judge Pennypacker has himself, in
the studied and deliberate article of
public magazine, given the most un-
reserved eulogy of Mr.. Quay ever
given any public man. In his judg-
ment Mr., Quay and his methods are
as near perfection as can be found on
earth. II the Judge should be elected
governor, how could he do otherwise
than make all appointments and urge
and approve all legislation recommend.
ed by the man who is his ideal and
idol in public life? With this logical
and moral certainty staring us in the
face, | do not see how men who ut
terly dissent from the principles and
methods that have prevailed can ap-
prove such nomination.
"As important, or perhaps mo-, i'm
portant. than the governorship. there

men rs were in the last legislature and
under the same absolute control.
Pounds and pounds of promises they
made, but not an ounce of fulflllment.
And they are making the same prom

and nominated by the same masters
who owned them before.

of the people.
From the wheat fields and the
mountains of the state there is a
stern, silent protest going up against
these principles and methods"
INDEPENDENTS FOR PATTISON.
Professor Kendall spent several
days in town the past week in an ef-
fort to crystalli2e the Republican op.
position to the Republican machine
into a tangible and compact organiza-
ton, and a general conference will be
held in this place shortly, when def
mite action will be taken in the ma
turing of campaign plans. The trend
among the anti-machine Republicans
of this county is decidedly toward
Pattison. and the delegates sent from
here to the Union party convention in
Philadelphia, it is said, will use their
influence in having Pattison indorsed
by the convention.
In local affairs it seems to be set
tied that an Independent ticket will
be put in the field. This means that a
couple thousand Republicans will be
diverted from the machine ticket, in
which the Democrats see strong hope
of success, providing they choose the
right kind of timber for the legislature
and county offices.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Aug. 6.-The

last few days, however, continues.
Yesterday was lively one ut bri-

In the entire county. There were many
rumors of troubles but, excepting at
Girardville, where a workman was
shot and slightly injured nothing of a
serious nature occurred anywhere.

ly alert, however, and kept soldiers

long. Many stories of threatened trou-

officers around headquarters feel
that the tension is increasing and
would not be surprised if some of the
troops now in camp here were sent into
the surrounding region. The brigadier
general says he will not send for addi-
tional men until there is need for
them. 1t is not unlikely, however, that
a battery and another troop of cavalry
will he in the field by the end of the
week
Probably the most important devel-
Opment in the Shenandoah region was
the arrest and commitment to the
county Jail of two wounded Lithuani-
ans who participated in the riot of
last Wednesday.
The arrests We're attended with con-
siderable show of military force, they
being taken into custody by constables
who were surrounded by platoon of
nfantrymen and marched through
the streets under a strong guard. The
prisoners are Antony Klimovitz and
Stanislaus Zukowsky. Each had been
shot in the foot during the riot and
was unable to walk. They We're locat-
ed in boarding house in the heart OF
the foreign quarter of the town. The
cOnstables feared that trouble would
ensue if they attempted to make the
arrests themselves, and upon their
suggestion General Goblin sent n pla-
toon of Company of the Twelfth regi-
ment to protect them.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.--The arrival of
Mrs. c. A. Spreckels of San Francisco
was an interesting feature of the end
of the trip of the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse
For more than an hour steamship
company employees labored to get her
baggage out of the hold and off the

She had forty-seven trunks and thir-
ty pieces of hand baggage. Nearly all
of the trunks were new, and all were
marked &c. A. s., Paris"
-Four of Mrs. Spreckels' maids re-
mained on the pier to unpack the
trunks for the custom house men.
Women crowded ten deep around the
maids, and as trunk after trunk was

tions went up.
No free show of beautiful gowns has
ever been given in this city to COM
pare with the display of the gowns
of Mrs. Spreckels. Each was mag

THE ROYAL BULL FIGHT
sPEcrEcLE VIEWED BY ALTON. s.s so AND ENvoYs.
The Queen Mothers Adherence of
 Such Brutality Evidenced by Her Demeanor--Medieval Gus toms Revived for Occasion.

Madrid. May 21.--The royal bull fight which is the most typical Spanish feature of the festivities in connection with the coming of age of King Alfonso, occurred this afternoon in the presence of the King. the Queen mother, the royal family. the Spanish nobles and the special en- voys. Many ladies were also present.
 An interesting feature was the revival of the old medieval custom under which the scions of noble families, fought the bulls with lances from horseback Three bulls were killed in this manner. while six others were despatched in the raguiar way with swords
 It was an effort for the Queen mother to attend the bull fight. but she did so for the sake of her son. The spectacle was distasteful to her and her unpopu- iarity with masses of Spain Is mainly due to her refusal to patronize the national pastime. The Queen mothers repugnance was evident today. King Alfonso, on the contrary. followed the bull fighting closely and with apparent interest.
 i Dr. J. L. M. Curry. the representative of the United States. and Mrs. Curry re- mained until the conclusion of the fight ing as is required by etiquette. but Mrs. Curry and her niece averted their faces or covered their eyes with fans or hand kerchiefs as did the queen mother, at the spectacle of gored horses careeptng around the ring.

Springfield. Mo, May H.--The theologi- cal seminary war was precipttated In the Cumberland Presbyterian General As sembly today when a report signed by Rev: J. w. Laughlin as chairman i've ministers and three ruling elders. was presented. 1t claims for the assembly the legal right to the funds and control Of the seminary and recommends that the committee of seven appointed bN the last assembly be continued. If this com mittee fails to reach an agreement with the trustees. the report recommends that friendly lavsuit be entered into to de- termine Ale questions at issue. Meanwhile this assembly shall elect a separate semi nary board of trustees with instructions not to organize pending the negotiations between the committed and the board. The report gives voting power to four visitors from the assembly winch IS given both the veto power over the appointment of trustees and professors and the privi- lege of recommending the removal of ob- jectionable professors. It locates the funds in the hands of the present trustees and forever at Lebanon, Tenn. A gen. erai debate followed.
 By agreement four hours of the debate was divided between Rev. T. A. Wigsin- ton and ruling elders, T. H. Cobbs and M A. Montgomery for the majority, and Rev. I. D. Steel. ruling elder. E. E Btrd and Rev Ira Landrith for the minority. Messrs. Wigginton and Steel spoke at the morning session
