"It will be my purpose when elected to so conduct myself as to win the respect and good will of those who have opposed me as well as those who have given me their support. I shall be the Governor of the whole people of the State. Abuses have undoubtedly grown np in the Legislature which are neither the fault of one party nor the other, but rather the growth of custom. Unnecessary investigations have been authorized by committees, resulting in unnecessary expense to the State. It will be my care and purpose to correct these and other evils in so far as I have the power.

It will be my purpose while Governor of Pennsylvania, as it has been my purpose in the public positions that I have held, with God's help, to discharge my whole duty. The people are greater than the parties to which they belong. I am only jealous of their favor. I shall only attempt to win their approval and my experience has taught me that that can best be done by an honest, modest, daily discharge of pub lic duty." Can it be possible that this war is going to end and "ffioy Orator Bryan not get a chance to shed good red Nebraskan gore? will he do for campaign material? Will some Democrat who knows the feelings of his party in the matter please rise and move to make the renomination and re election of Congressman Olmsted unanimous. Don't be afraid, it will be virtually that anyhow.

Once more is Dauphin county the location of a jreat military camp. The volunteers at the Middletown camp will never regret the visit they pay to Pennsylvania. Welcome to the men from Tennessee, Missouri, New York, Illinois, Rhode Island and Indiana, and welcome back to the soil bf the old Keystone State of the gallant Sixth Pennsylvania. If that Round Robin from the general officers in Santiago did nothing else than call the attention of those in authority to the fact that seventy five per cent, of the men were suffering from malarial fever, it filled its mission. Here is General Shaffer with a letter to the Secretary of War deploring the making public of the Round Robin, but admitting that only twenty five per cent, of his men are in fit condition to fight.

It was time the boys were being brought back to civilization and good food and medicine. The Philadelphia Inquirer is glad that the eapitol is not going to be removed from Harrisburg. Why, was there ever any danger of that happening? Ever since Senator Wes Thomas introduced his bill to submit the question of removing the Capitol to 'a vote and Mayor Charlie Warwick shook the statue of William Penn on City Hall with the loudness of his claim that Philadelphia ought to have the Capitol the people of Harrisburg have rested secure, knowing that the Capitol would not be removed. Thomas' bill died on the calendar and nobody paid any attention to Warwick, and that settled it. As quiet as you keep it, Pennsylvania is having her share of the fighting.

Whenever they want action they send Pennsylvania men to the front. Look at the Sixteenth leading the van in Porto Rico and doing business with the Spaniards from the word go. And look at the Tenth in the trenches at Manila, bearing the first shock of battle and spilling first blood on the soil of the Philippines and good Pennsylvania blood at that. They can't keep us down. Pennsylvanians come from that fighting stock that helped to fight in the Colonial, the Revolution, the 1812, the Indian, the Mexican and the War of the Rebellion, and they always fought to win.

Why, the original Pennsylvanians were so used to fighting that they took their guns to church with them.

Especially was it denied that the few specimens of tinplate exhibited as being made in this country were made here, and it was charged that terae plate made in Wales had been brought to this country and prepared as tinplate in order to influence Congress.

All this is past. We have long since outgrown the experimental stage and we are not only making our own tinplate at a hundred different mills scattered all over the country, but we are even exporting a better article to Europe than is made in Wales, which has for years been considered the greatest tin plate manufacturing country in the world. It is gratifying to note that in this magnificent progress in the way of tin plate making Pennsylvania has held a high If we are not mistaken, when the first tinplate mill was started up at Apollo, Armstrong county, the free trade newspapers said it would be a failure. It has been an eminent success, so much so that fourteen other tinplate mills have been established in this State, all of which, are doing well, as the following figures from the report for 1897 of Captain Clark, chief of the Bureaa of Industrial Statistics, will show: "In the manufacture of tinplate, that is in the black plate works, Pennsylvania had fifteen plants in operation as against thirteen in 1896. The capital invested was $5,017,127, as against $3,627,275, an increase of $1,389,852, or 38.3 per cent.

Their entire production of black plate, tinned and untinned, was 254,157,601 pounds, as against 158,300,490 in 1896, an increase of 95,851,111 pounds, or 60.5 per cent. They tinned of this black plate product 179,705,766 pounds, as against 97,814,702 in 1896, an increase of 81,891,204 pounds, or 83.7 per cent. The production of black plate which was not tinned was 74,751,835 pounds, as against 60,491,107 pounds, or 23.1 per cent. The value of the tinned product was $5,180,624, as against $3,157,699, an increase of $2,022,925, or 64 per cent. The value of the black plate not tinned was $1,657,297, as against $1,480,112, an increase of $177,185, or 12 per cent." Of course the free traders and those who sneer at the "fostering of infant industries can get no comfort out of the above figures, but they furnish unlimited pleasure and exceeding great satisfaction to those who all along maintained that tinplate could be manufactured in this country, and they show that American pluck and energy can build up any manufacture if given half a chance.

Admiral Dnr Latter of Thiuki CeHi aaa ma L.lirfigOM. Atlanta, Aug. 12. Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, has received the following letter from Admiral Dewey: "Flagship Olympia, OfT Cavite, Philippine Islands, Juno 17.

My Dear Sir: I have just learned from the last papers that I am indebted to you for the introduction in the House of Representatives of the resolutions extending to me the thanks of oCngress for the naval engagement of Manila Bay, May 1st. I need hardly tell you that I am most sincerely grateful to you as the author of the resolution, bringing, as it does, the highest honor that can come to an American naval officer in his professional career. But it is a great pleasure to acknowledge by debt of gratitude and to thank you in unstinted measure for the part you took in obtaining for ine that greatest "It is a source of additional pleasure to me, a Vermonter, that the mover of the resolution was not a man from the North, but one from the far South. This is one of the good signs of the times. In the hour of danger there is no South, no North; but one united country.

May we never hear of sectionalism again. That there are no lines drawn in the navy, I need not say. It may interest you to know that my flag lieutenant, Lieutenant Brumby, is a Georgian by birth and appointment. "Again thanking you most cordially, I remain, very gratefully and sincerely, "George Dewey, "To the Hon. F.

That load moved over the Middle division Tuesday by the big class 115 locomotive, No. 872, weighed 5.212 tons, of which 3,692 was made up of coal.

When it is considered that an average freight load is 2,350 tons, or about U0 cats, the feat of the new giant "pusher" can be appreciated. Assistant Road Foreman Clenison, who sat in the cab with Engineer Daniel Webster during the trip over the Middle division, said yesterday that the giant machine moved like clockwork. Three engines similar in construction to No. 872 have leen built and two more are to be finished. The weight of each of these monster locomotives is 196,000 poundf.

The result of the experimental trip was very gratifying to officials of the Pennsylvania, The company has no intention of putting the big engines on the long Philadelphia and Middle division runs, but does intend adopting theai as the standard mountain locomotive. The tank of the 115 engines will carry 60,000 pounds of coal and 0.00O gallons of water.

On one occasion he had followed the Indian trail for several days, and came upon them in the middle of the afternoon. He immediately went into his season of prayer.

MILLER, Offlce of the City Clerk, Harrisburg, August 12th, 189S. Clerk. InllTKIt OPPOSED TO DRIIKINO i Prwntbltod Opening of aloona In Santl Befaaad Permission to Take Cnrftoea of Beer Into the City. New York, Aug. 12.

General Shatter has written the following letter to "The Voice" in this city regarding the liquor question: "Santiago de Cuba, July 30, 1898. "I have always been strongly opposed to the canteen system or the sale of intoxicating drinks of any kind on military reservations; and have opposed it until absolutely overruled and required to establish a canteen at my post. I regard it de moralizing to the men, besides impairing seriously their efficiency. There are always, in every regiment, a number of men that will under any circumstances, get I and drink liquor; but the great majority are temperate, abstemious men; and it is to those that the evil effects of the post exenange system work the greatest injury; as young men who would not think of going away from the post for liquor will, when it is placed before them and every inducement offered them to purchase, do so, and thus gradually acquire the habits of intemperance. The plea that it furnishes a large Bum, which it does, to improve the table fare of the men, is in my opinion, a very poor as the Government of the United States is per fectly able to feed its men without any assistance from the profits of rum sell ing.

I have absolutely prohibited the sale of liquor or the opening of saloons in the city of Santiago, and have refused per mission for cargoes of beer to come from the States here. I think that the necessity of refraining from drink is fully real ized by all the men, and of their own accord tiey would refrain from drinking. Very truly yours, William H. Shatter, "Major General TJ. S.

'twipipir Men Come Home. New York, Aug. 11. The steam yacht Wanda, Captain Miller, which has been in the service of the Associated Press for nearly four months as a despatch boat, accompanying the American fleet and army in West Indian waters, arrived here from Porto Rico this mornfng, hav ing touched at Nassau, en route, and having covered the distance of about 2,200 knots in six days. Now that cable communication has been restored in eastern Cuba and southern Porto Rico, the necessity for despatch boats has ceased for a time at least.

The Wanda has on board as a relic of the great sea fight off Santiago a six pounder quick firing gun taken from the deck of the Spanish cruiser Oquendo by the Associated Press despatch boat Cynthia. The Wanda brings mail from the fleet off Porto Rico and also carries mail from Nassau owing to the irregularity with which steamers now touch at that British port. A Mleelssippi Lynching.

This organization, which is headed by Miss Annie E. Davis and Mr. Frederic Herzog, is practically the same as when here last season and will give even better representations of the plays as they have been on tour during the entire summer. This speaks volumes for the merits of the organization, as it is the only company of the kind that did not close for the warm months.

It will be remembered that the specialties introduced were a great and pleasing feature of the last engagement. It is said that this important factor has been much strengthened and will be even a greater feature than in the past.

SttVJ FROM THE ORIatNT. Germany Is Offensively Omelons in China Voncouven, B. Aug. 11. Advices from the Orient by the Emprese of Japan say: Tho Korean Government has granted mining concessions to Germany.

An application to Great Britain will probably also be acceded to. The Japanese Minister to Korea has entered upon vigorous negotiations with the Korean Government demanding compensation for failure to grant a charter to the Japanese for the construction of the Seoul Fusion Railway and for the murdens of various Japanese in Korea since 1896. The Chinese Government has decided to open a new Japanese concession on the coast of Hyakujosi adjoining the German concession in Mankow. The German Government has protested against the concession and nppeais resolute in continuing the protest. Notwithstanding the favorable conclusion of the agreement with reference to the recent Shnsi riot.

Germany as now lodged a protest with the Chinese Government on the subject. An appalling tragedy has taken place at Taku Bar. A big junk laden with spirits caught fire in the midst of a storm. Twenty eight souls' were half roasted to death and then iu a frenzy jumped overboard and drowned to a man. So high sea was running that help was impossible.

Better relations exist between China and Japan and the latter country is urged from Pekin to continue to show her friendship by helping China in giving instructions to her people whenever desired and siding with Great Britain iu trying to preserve the integrity of China. fiellef for Si anile Troops.
