Its daily cry is that there is nothing but "State issues" involved. There is a daily presentation of a large array of figures to show that under Republican administration the cost of government has been ruinously and outrageously increased; that there is vicious And reckless extravagance which nothing will halt excepting the success of the Democratic pa?ty at the polls. This hostility of the distinguished I)emoeratic candidate to the Republican party is not new. It did not begin with his nomination for Govenor. He has not been in sympathy with the Republican party for many years; not, I believe, since ne became a voter. He was surely not in sympathy with the Republican party during the War of the Rebellion. It is a pleasure to listen now to his eloquent eulogies of Abraham Lincoln and other founders of the Republican party, and this pleasure is only marred by the recollection of the fact that from '6i to '65, when Lincoln needed sympathy and support in the great struggle to keep one flag above a united country, we did not have that effervescing sympathy from the Democratic candidate which his memory is having to-day.'* The never rip kind are what you want for the school Children.

Shoes, and Stockings for Nil Ladies Gapes $1.25 to $15.00. "I should ask the people of this country to support the Administration of President McKinley if for no other reason than because, say what you like, the victory at the polls of the men who are opposing and denouncing his Administration in this election will be interpreted abroadas m eaningon the part of America a repudiation of the war from which we have just emerged triumphant. It will strengthen the hands of every hostile power which views with jealousy our victories in the Antilles and the Philippines; it will mean that the nations that now secretly and enviously wish to clip the wings of our pride will be emboldened. It will result in the partial nndoing of what our army and navy have accomplished. It will mean the chance of grave complications, and the likelihood of our meeting obstacles when it comes to reaping the fruit of our triumph. You could get the benefits of the victories of Graut and Sherman only by re-electing Lincoln; and we will gain less than we ought to from this war if the Administraion is not sustained at these elections. " It is certain that Democracy dodges, evades, shirks this issue of the honest dollar, and in the name of industty, in the name of liberty, in the name of labor, in the name of our homes, by the care of your savings, I beg this people not to be false at this hour to thif great underlying bed-rock question of the houest dollar that underlies all the structure and the stability ot our prosperity. " We are to decide this autumn whether the verdict given by the nation for honest money, for an honest dollar that shall cheat no man, shall be maintained now and made the guiding star of our finance for the future. A false dollar is poison in the blood of the nation. It robs every man; most of all it robs the workingman, and it is a lie againest honor. The honest dollar is the corner-stone of our liberty, of our savings, of our industry, of our progress. We must staud for the honest dollar or the whole fabric of our business and of our industrial prosperity is swept aside." In his speech In New York last Monday night Col. Theodore Roosevelt gave utterance to a few thoughts that should be carefully pondered by the people of every State in the union, and which apply with special force to Pennsylvania. He said : From now until Oct. 22, with every pair o( Fall Shoes we will put U a pair o( hose In the bos, and say nothing about the stockings, and only charge V the low prices for our shoes.

Evidently, the morning being cool, r.he had hurriedly taken it from a chest filled with moth bills, for the odor of them was almost unbearable. The car being crowded, she was compelled to stand; consequently, every time she swayed from side to side the tiny glistening particles of insect destroyer th -t were ill in the fur wou'd sprinkle every one near. Directly the car gave a particulary bad lurch, and something fell from the wipe into the lap of a lady near by. That something proved upon close inspection to be a tiuy mouse, not yet able to look about. Following closely came several more sprawling on the floor in their blind helplessness. It didn't take over a half minute for every woman in that car to grab her skirts and get 011 the seats, the overflow taking refuge on the platforms. Meanwhile the innocent cause of all this trouble calmly unfastened her cape and shook out the remains of a nest, which had been snugly built by some motherly mouse iu the long fur. The owner of the cape seated herself as calmlv as you please and the other women subsided. And Dress Goods. If we cant save you money, don't buy. . ..AGENTS FOR ...

These are only a few of I he many Bargains, but the above is special ones, and now is your chance if ever in your life. It is well known that Spanish soldiers in Cuba were poor marksmen, but great surprise has been expressed at the remarkable lack of execution which characterized their fire at Guautanamo and Santiago, and an officer of the United States gunboat "Montgomery" has been able to throw some light on the matter He visited the "Maria Teresa" after the destruction of Cevera's fleet in search of souvenirs. He found a large number of Mauser cartriges in groups of five ready to go into the magazines of the guns, and, if the entire Spanish army and navy were equipped with that kind of ammunition, both Cervera and Toral were amply justified in surrendering when they did. The cartridges consisted of a metal shell loaded with hair and a sprinkling of powder. The bullet was of neither brass nor lead, but of wood. Some army contractor had imposed on the ordnance bureau of the Spanish navy, but to what extent the wooden Mauser bullets were used will probably never be kuown.—Scientific American.

If there is any doubt about the Republicans retaining the control in the next House of Representatives it is Hue solely to anxiety lest in some of the States where the Republican party is easily dominant the voters we not yet waked up to a consciousness of the momentous importance of the coining election. If the Republicans turn out at the election in full force there will be no qutstion of their having a large majority in the House and a majority in the Senate which will enable the Administration to carry through unobstructed its policy, so essential to the prosperity of the country and ita rightful Increase in power and in the consideration of the world. Every Congress district which now has Republican representation, or in which there ia a possibility ot gaining a seat from the Democrats and their ruinous policy, should be a hive of Republican, indnatry from this time forth. No Republican vote should be loat. All the advocates of a sound currency as essential to onr prosperity should feel the overwhelming obligation that lies on them to come forward and defend it. The prosperity of thii country is involved. The growth and enrichment of our national power and commerce, which victory in war offers us as its prize, cannot be secured in their fullness except by the election of a Republican Congress next month , and every patriotic citizen should rush to improve the privilege of contributing by his vote to such a result.

We are better prepared with SUITS, OVERCOATS, 000TS, SHOES, HATS, AND FURNISHING GOODS EVERY SEASON. TRUNKS, In the great economy of nature, and that which we call Providence, it is just as necessary and merciful for the human race to die aa to be born. We cannot alter, we cannot change, the plan. In other words, an Almighty Power or Force is master of the Situation. Oi.d Man. We cannot live alone. We must live for and with each other. A man can run awav from almost anything else but himself. Very few aijed people would care to be rejuvinated, if they had to live the life they have lived over again. The man who denies the existence of an original, intelligent, creative power, which is equivalent to that Energy or Force, which We recognize by the name of God, virtually denies his own existence; for as he did not, nor could not, create himself, it then follows, that he is the product of some power or force greater than himself. Hence a denial of the existence of that Power or Force, is equivaleut to a denial of his own existence.The most courageous life is complete submission to the irrevocable decree of death. I Age of Steel.} Whatever may become of the territorial partition of China, the march of development has begun, and the greatest commercial opportunity of modern times is broadening its stakes and widening its borders. In connection with this, American enterprise has begun to show its hand. Among other examples we have the railway project originated and sustained by American capitalists, that if carried out will connect Hackow with Hong Kong and will have about 300,000- 000 people along its line of route and connections. This road will run through what is known as tlie English sphere of influence and consequently will be in accord with the "open doot" idea. It is estimated that the cost will not be less than |l3o,aoo,aoo, and American capital, if reporta be true, is at the command of the enterprise to even a larger sum if necessary. What it will eventually open up in the way of trade is practically bevond estimate, and American enterprise in Asia, of which this is but a preliminary, will have a magnificent opportunity, the like of which has no precedent, provided we eacape the folly of exclusiveness and the ambition to monopolize what other nations have an equal right to share.

The protocol for the "immediate" evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico by the Spaniards was signed on August 12. That was a month and twelve days ago. Some of them have gone from Porto Rico. Rut in Cuba the idea seems to be to have a long talk—a general discussion of "everything in general, all things in particular and certain other things,' 'to quote the title of an old book. The remark of Rietui which some of us used to declaim in the orient of youth is forgotton. It began: "I came not here to talk." The Spaniards in Havana have come to talk, when there is nothing to be done but to get out, to go away, to evacuate, scoot sua skedaddle. This is the only thing in order, and talk ia unparliamentary. | Washington Star] "Doctor," mid the member of congress front a rural district, "are you sure it's gout that has attacked me?" "Positive. But yon needn't be alarmed. It's nothing very serious." "Doctor, yon don't appreciate the situation. You don't know what a prejudice against gout there is in my community. I don't ask you to do anything contrary to your conscience. But if I manage to get the story started that I caught my toe in a threshing machine, think of my prospects and the welfare of your country, and aon't contradict it."

(Philadelphia Times.] The election of Mr. Jenka to the Governorship of Pennsylvania would bring no reform in our State government, because the control of the Democratic party ia as corrupt, profligate and despotic as the worst Republican domination, and it would be a fearful calamity in shsping the 6nancial destiny of this great republic. It would be a distinctive and emphatic triumph ot Bryan ism; of cheap money; of repudiation and of all that the Chicago platform taught. It would irrevocably re-establiah Bryanism for the neat national contest of 1900; it wonld Be heralded not only from one end of the Union to the other, but throughout the world, that dishonest money and repudiation had won a signal victory in one of the moat conservative aad important States of the Union.
