1t Is a Noble Building.

Robert S Murphy, the Republican
nominee for lieutenant governor, in
commenting upon this Issue" said:
"The new state capitol is one OF
the noblest buildings to be found with
in the limits of the country
There is not man or citizen OF
Pennsylvania that can view that mag
nificent structure without sense OF
pride. without a feeling of thankful
ness that he is a citizen of Pennsyl
vania, and that this great state, with
its population of seven million people.
with its great wealth and material re-
sources, with its reputation abroad as
not only the keystone of Republican
ism. hut the keystone of the republic,
is entitled TO building OF that char.
acter."
In referring to the itemized state
ment Of the expenditures in furnishing
the now capitol, made by Governor
PerNyDoc ker and Aglitor General
Snyder. Mr. Murphy said:
mo man has ever nlard the honesty
or the Integrity of a member of the
board ever questioned publicly or pri'

willing to stand or fall. The public
statement OF samuel w, Pennypacker,
under his own hand and seal indicates
precisely how that large sum OF money
has been expended. and it has been
spent in equipping and furnishing that
great capitol, in ornamentng it, in
decorating it. and completing it, and

Grated testimony of our opponents that
there has been any wrongdoing upon
the part OF the officials vested with the

Is Given a Life Sentence.

. New Albany, Ind, April 17.-John
Roby and Oliver Haycock, charged
with the murder of Deputy Sheriff
Harry Smith, pleaded guilty yeste--
day at Patli, Ind, ad were each Civ
en- q life sentence.
Fearing mob violence, Roby and
Haycock were taken to the Indiana
reformatory in Jeffersonville for safe
keeping at the time they were arrest
ed two weeks ago. Sunday nigh. they
were quietly brought to this city and
were then driven tt Paoli, ~arrivin,
there at 3 o'clock Monday morning.
AS soon as court convened they were
arranged, entered their plea, received
their sentences and were taken at once
to prison. So quietly had the prison
ers been taken to Paoli that they were
sentenced and taken away before the
people became aware that they were
in town.
Roby and Haycock shot and killed
Deputy Sheriff Smith and badly
wounded Constable Robert McCabe
when the officers attempted to arrest
them at the home of Roby.

SAN FRANCISCO SHAKES.
Earthquake Ruins the Best Business
Section of the City. Two Thous-
and Killed or Badly Injured.

Just at day-break Wednesday morn
ing the citizens of San Francisco were
aroused by an earthquake which
shook the city from center to circum-
ference. Hundreds of the largest bust
ness buildings went down with a crash
the water mains of the city were all
broken, and in a short time the city
was on fire, and almost the whole
population was panic stricken.
With scarcely any means to fight
the fire the outlook WIS terrible. But
order was partially restored and the
people went to work heroically to try
Il save the city from entire destruc-
lion. Hundreds of people were res
cued from burning and fallen build
ings but it is feared tt almost 1000
lives have been lost.
The whole surrounding country
was in the throes of the earthquake,
mountains were shaken down and the
course of the Sacramento river was
changed. 1t is an awful visitation and
later news will be awaited with inter
est.
Latest news says the fire depart
ment having no water, are blowing UP
buildings in advance of the flames
with dynamite, hoping to check the
fire.

Yellow Sewing Machine Notes.

The newest swindle organized
against the American farmer, and the
most gigantic swindle in recent years,
has but recently been put in operat =.
1t is booked for a three years run . i
a stake of several millions.
A force of expert sewing machine
agents are sent into a county to
quickly sell good machines, to respon-
sible farmers only, on long time notes
of , TO ) years, these notes bearing 6
per zen interest. A business of $10,-
10000 to $25,e00.0O is done in the
county in about thirty days and the
gentlemanly agents depart. All of the
rotes are on blue paper.
In three months the county is in
vaded by a force of husky collectors
demadning payment of the notes. The
notes they present are on yellow pap
er and are made for three months in
stead of a term of three years. The
makers OF the notes protest that they
signed three years blue notes not
three month yellow notes, but the
collector convinces them hat they
did not know what they were sisuing
and that they were misled by the tau
of a smooth agent. They are advised
to pay the notes and save trouble
About 80 per cent. of the yellow note:
are paid, many of them by the hon.
estly given advice Of attorneys.
These yellow notes are all rank for
g%eries. The genuine blue notes are re,
posing in a safe deposit vault, indus.
triously earning 6 per cent interest
They will be presented when due ant
will have to be paid. The Company
will be astonished to hear that forged
notes have long ago been collected BY
a gang of unprincipled cusses; bu
that transaction will not affect tn,
validity of the genuine note. If boil
notes are brought together in Couf
any handwriting exepert will t~estif,
that the yellow document is a forgery

Attorney General Hadley, in the
address he delivered at the Missouri
society dinner il New York. said
wise as well as witty things. One
of these expressions was that one
touching the necessity for radical ad-
vances along the lines of new and
drastic laws designed to meet exist
ing evils and dangers, says the St.
Louis Globe Democrat. 1t is custom
airy to say, or think, that, the danger
being a new one, the law to serve as
a corrective influence must be not on-
ly new but more drastic than any
now to be found in the statutes. AS
a matter of fact, there is no new dan
ger in sight. The particular evil
with which Mr.. Hadly is graphing
was so clearly to be seen nearly two
scores years ago, that the Republi-
can party during the administration
of Benjamin Harrison, enacted a law
drafted by Senator Sherman, of Ohio;
for the curbing of the trusts, which
practically lapsed by n during
the succeeding Cleveland administra-
ton, but the constitutionality of
which was later affirmed by the high
est judicial authority. The evils GER
tain to grow out of too unrestricted
and uncontrolled ~monopolies in in
dustry and finance were seen long ago
and Mr.. Hadley uttered a profound
truth in saying, at New York, that
what we need now is not new and
drastic laws but the strict enforce
ment of such laws as we already
have.

Man finds in nature the symbol OF
that which is higher than the mate
ial. He seeks to express his faith
in the future by reasoning from the
present and the past. Easter day IS
to him a symbol of natures awaken
ing, a proof of the spirits perpetuity-
As the grain multiplies itself for com
ing harvest so the sentient atom we
call soul multiplies itself in words
and deeds for the reaping. Man sees
in the annual revival of nature a type
of the revival of the spirit after the
winter we call death. The change OF
form is but a pulse-beat, and the flow
er and fruit of today are but the ex-
preston of that continually moving
impulse that makes the ceaseless
round of birth, decay and birth again,
Easter is typical of a new birth oil
life to the religious world, and the
faith in a continuous life of that
fainting heart. 1t is a CLEAN of the
future in the darkening present. 1t
revives confidence in the prepaleace
of good in the world, and it gives
faith in a continues life of that
which is good of man and in the IL
dividual, as surely as there is a re
newal of beauty each year in the
flower, and a duplicate of fruitage in
the grain and the shrub.-Elkhart Re

A Threatening Danger.

One great and threatening danger
of our common school educational
system is the attempt to change it
from a source of training and culture
of the mind TO a plan for educating
the hand. The culture of mind which
formed the basis of its early estab-
Iishment is rapidly giving way to "a
method of fitting the hand to a voca-
ton. 1t is a perversion that will prove
its i'll effects slowly, but as surely as
the tides come and go, and the force
of gravity determines weight.-Elk-
hart Review.

district Republican convention, held
in the assembly-room of the court
house at TT. Wayne. He had no op-

paying tribute to Congressman Gil

The Presidents Good Advice.

President Roosevelt is unlike any
other president the republic has ever
had in his partiality for moralizing.
If we except Washington's farewell
address there is nothing in the
speeches of his predecessors which
resembles his numerous excellent
homolies on the home, the family.
public and private virtue and the
duties of citizenship.
One of the most timely and elo-
quent of these addresses was that
which he delivered last Saturday on
the occasion of the laying of the cor
ner stone of the great Office build
ing of the house of representatives
aud which had been delivered before
tc a small company of people without
having been made public.
This remarkable speech was based
On Bunyan's well-known parable OF
the muck rake in the Pilgrims Prog
ress," and the obvious lesson was the
injury done to public morals and to
society by the speakers and writers
who are incapable of seeing what is
admirable and who revel in the con-
temptation of everything that is bad
or that can be made by d~etraction to
appear bad.
The president portrayed with great
power the inca1cul-ble injury that is
done BY a consciousness which is
either indiscriminate or excessive
IF all public men without exception
are denounced as inefficient and cor
rupt there is a double wrong done
Those who deserve condemnation
have so much company that they dc
not feel their castigation and those
who are innocent become discour'
aged and it may be. corrupted. Ir
the meanwhile men of high character
who prize their good name are de
tered from entering public life. F.,
When even a guilty official is de
nounced unjustly or with hysterica
| extravaganza l.e escapes injury be
| cause there is a reaction which leaves
| people dubois and Indifferent con
| corning him.-Chicago Chronicle.

The politicians and political proph-
cts at Washington have o con-
cluded that Roosevelt will not be a
candidate in 1908. They say that the
president says from now on until the
end of his present term he will be
compelled to be very harsh to GER
tain interests and he believes he would
be an easw man to beat in 1908. His
friends believe he will try to succeed
Thos. Plat in the senate in 1909, on
the day he r~etires as president, as he
has no idea of retiring from public
life as all the Their presidents have
done OF late years. He will be so
young comparatively to the other
presidents. He believes he would die
of ennui il he did retire.

Central Committee censures Editor,

A Democratic central committee in
Marshall county refused to accept a
check of $500 from the editor OF the
Plymouth Democrat. The following
is an exact copy from the minutes
of the meeting in which the action
was taken:
Committee Rooms, ID. c. Com.
Plymouth, Ind, Nov. Is, 1902.
Pursuant to call of H.. A. Logan,
Chairman, the Committee met in COM
mittee room at 2 o'clock p m. Nov.
18th, 1902.
Chairman Logan then stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting to be that each
committeeman present a copy OF his
expenditures, that a settlement with
the various committeeman should be
closed. A careful investigation of ac-
counts showed a deficiency of S123.09,
which caused a discussion OF the COM
mittee. Chairman Logan informed
the Committee that he held a check
Of Clay w. Metsker for $500 as a
donation to the committee. This
brought about a heated discussion by
the committee as to the action which
Mr.. Metsker took in the campaign.
The charge was made by Mr.. Martin
dale, MI. Leonard, Mr.. O'Keefe and
Mr.. Kruger that he had done every
thing in his power to defeat Represen-
tativc Lemert and O'Keefe at the
election and a vote Of censure was
advocated by the committee. Mr.. Lo-
gan, Chairman, advocated a mor on
servative view be taken and a number
approved of his idea; after which
Committeeman Martindale moved that
the check be returned to MIR. Metsker
and state that the committee want
no donation from him. The motion
was carried, executed and made.
On motion of u. S. Lemert an ad-
ditional assessment of ten per cent
| of the original assessment was put
and passed with instructions to Secre
tary to collect.
Then followed a talk by Prof. Her
ing, Bernetha and others and after
vote of thanks to Chairman Logan
Commute adjourned subject to call o

OUR TRADE.
American Consuls Tell Interesting
Trade Stories.

The consumption of meat in Ger
many during 1905 was 1000, 000, 900
pounds, Consul General Pitcairn writ
es from Hamburg to the United
States bureau of manufactures. This
was eight-seven pounds per capita OF
population but each person in Ger
many ate 2.s pounds of meat more
during the previous year.
Fresh meats from the United
States are forbidden entry. The de-
crease in the number of hogs slaugh-
tered in Germany last year was SO
great that the heavy imports of cured
pork products from Holland, Austria
and the United States were not sufhc-
lent 30 maintain a good supply. Con-
sui Kehl, of Stettin, writes shat, in
spite OF the fact that for ten years
live hogs have been prohibited entry
to Germany, recent annual figures
show over 125, 900 cases of hog pest
in the empire.
The feeling that trusts are neces-
airy in certain industries is growing
in Spain, reports Consul General
Ridgley of Barcelona. The latest is
the organization of a glass trust al
Bilboa by the nine glass works OF
Spain, five of which will be closed
Overproduction and r%uinous cempeti-
ton made the step necessary.
Consul Grout, writing from Valetts
asserts that opportunities for aug.
menting the sales of America prod
ucts on the island DC Malta are splen'
did. The value of dutiable goods i'm.
ported there during the fiscal year
1905 amounted to more than $4,000,
900, the share of the United States be
ing 4 per cent. A new trolley line
on Malta drew much of its equip.
ment from America
eConsul Hollis, at Lourenco Mar
quez, writes to the bureau of manu-
features that freight rates between
New York and African ports hav,
been raised steadily during the las
few months by the new steamship
combination, until nov they stans
about IS per cent. higher than las
summer. This has led American ship
pers to charter vessels for large con
