WILL BE AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
The plans for the state campaign
have not been fully determined upon,
but 1t is known that the canvass, while
it will be a short one, will be made
upon the most aggressive lines and
that a determined effort will be made
to poll a large Republican vote in
every county in the state. Meetings
will be held whenever requested by
the chairmen OF the county commit
tees, and every assistance will be
given by the Republican state COM
mittee to the local organizations to
rouse enthusiasm among the voters
and in other ways to insure the best
possible results for the ticket.
The candidates named by the Re-
publican state convention are all men
of unimpeachable character. They
have all been before the people, and
their records are above reproach. The
nominees for the superior court, Judge
John ]. Henderson, of Crawford coun-
", anu JuuSc HOUldS "a MOIiloOu, III
Mexican county, have both served on
the bench. and each has won an en-
viabls reputation among the members
of the bar and the judiciary of the
commonwealth.
Senator William P. Snyder, Of Ches.
ter county, the nominee for auditor
general, and William l.. Mathues, of
Delaware county, the candidate fer
state treasurer, are both aggressive
and sturdy representatives OF the stall
wart Republicanism OF Pennsylvania,
and they have merited by their public
services and their devotion to the In
terests of the people the honors con-
terred upon them by their party They
have been in the searchlight of public
opinion for years, and not a single dis
honorable or discreditable act can be
traced to either of them.
In the communities in which they
are best known it is predicted they
will each be given unprecedented ma
jorities at the coming election.

In Danger Of Pneumonia.

DR.. w. T. Ridenour, Of Toledo, saws:
"Beer drinkers are peculiarly liable
to die of pneumonia. Their vital pow
er, their power of resistance, is so
lowered that they are liable to drop
off from any form of acute disease.
such as fevers, pneumonia, etc. AS q
rule, when beer drinker takes the
pneumonia he dies. Beer drinking
produces rheumatism by producing
chronic congestion and ultimately de-
generation Of the liver, thus interfer-
ing with its function by which the food
is elaborated and fitted for the sus-
tenance Of the body, and the refuse
materials oxidized and made soluble
for elimination by the kidneys, thus
forcing the retention in the body Of

uric acid and other insoluble effete
matters in the blood and tissues is one

.sFooTING', AND DRUNKENNESS
English Factory Girls Are Driven to
Intemperance By q Time.
Honored Custom.

london factory girls earning any
thing from couple Of shillings week
~ upwards are regularly called upon
to pay their footing when they enter
firm. 1t is done in obedience to an
unwritten law. The amount put
down varies in different places, and
In rough measure corresponds to
the wage earned.
There was time when the prac-
tice was unknown in London. It's
place of origin is the north, where
footing is invariably paid at several
different periods in an apprentices
advancement in the factory or firm.
In London it is confined to the entry
into any particular place.
The foremen and the forewomen of
departments refuse to know anything
about the practice. The heads of the
firm state that the girls form little
community. and that it is wisest to
give them perfect freedom to regulate
their own affairs among themselves.
: There is strong movement in the
Manchester district to overthrow this
payment of footing, on the ground
that it tends to the increase of
drinking habits among girls and
women, many of whom get their lik-
ing for liquor from the footing
treats" u.s.. =. s.-s
Without the active cooperation of
employers, however, little can be
done, as where the practice prevails
those who refuse to pay are sub
jected to ''ragging."
Temperance societies are consider
ing whether it would not be wise to
attack the custom in London, and
are watching with. great interest the
result of the experimental movement
in Manchester. -.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

The people of Danville, Va, are go
ing to vote on the question of stopping
the issuance of liquor licenses within
the corporate limits.
AS a result of raid made on the
'blind tigers in New Orleans A. quarts
of whisky were poured into the
street. Two men were arrested and
fined.
The Good Templars of Sweden have
petitioned parliament and the execu-
tive government to institute profess
sorship at the Royal medical college

There are 3,745 distilleries in the

CHILL BECOMING A TOPPER.
Growth of Alcoholism in the South
American Country Is on Rapid
Increase. .@-~t~ F.

The growth of alcoholism in Chill
is rapidly increasing. According to
the figures adduced during recent
discussion, the number of persons ad-
Clicted to the excessive use of, alcohol
in 33 departments is 6S,592. Santiago,
with only 100000 inhabitants, counts
over $4,000 persons who are addicted
to the excessive use of intoxicants.
AS result of so much drunkenness
new and stringent laws have been
enacted. The distilleries and brew
cries are all placed under strict gov
ernment control, not only as to
quantity but as to quality of product.
Public inspectors and chemists are
put in charge of the works and all
liquors are to be kept free from
authorizations, Licenses are to be
sold to the highest bidder once in
three years, but no license will be
issued for the sale of liquor within
200 yards of any church, school, char
table institution, or soldiers bar
racks. No liquors may be sold at
any theater, at any railway station,
or on any railway trains. No mayor
of any city, no alderman or other
officer of government, may own or
control any license. Sections of cities
which so vote may constitute them
selves prohibition districts. No
liquors may be sold after midnight or
before six o'clock in the morning.
Offenses against the law must be
tried summarily. No case can be
continued beyond ten days and no
judge can withhold decision more
than five days, and sales to all minors
are strictly prohibited.-Journal of

SANTIAGO, SPANISH STYLE
scribed by q Historian of the
HidalgOs.

An American who was touring Eu-,
rope last summer came across new
version of the naval battle OF Santiago
when he reached Madrid. It was writ
ten by a Spanish historian, who saids
when our fleet steamed out, the
enemy at once sought to run away, as
matter of course, but our ships
dashed among them firing right and
left. j.
''Some 20 of the Yankee vessels had
been sent to the bottom, and the rest
of the fleet were flying in terror from
the awful missiles flung from our guns,
when Providence willed it that every
Spanish officer and man should ha
overcome with exhaustion.
in this awful emergency there was.
nothing left for our brave admiral hut
to signal to each of his ships to run
ashore. They accordingly sought the
beach, and being very sleepy and dis
couraged our gallant men waded
ashore and concluded to stay there.
Spanish honor was saved again, and
the queen regent ordered the bells
rung in every town in Spain for three
successive days. It is rumored that
three of Senior SIMPSONS ships got
away, but this cannot be VERIFIED
