The letters of Judge Yerkes and Rep- resentative Coray, accepting the nomination of the Union party for Justice of the Supreme Court and State Treasurer, respectively, are characteristic. Judge Yerkes had previously indicated his ideas of the obligations of the office for which he has been named in a service of eigh. teen years on the bench and in an ad: dress accepting the nomination of the Democratic convention.

"My only pledge," he declares, "is, that if elected I will devote my strength and ability to a faithful discharge of the duties of my office," and that he "will obey and uphold the constitution." Mr. Coray expresses his conception of the cause which made him a candidate, in his letter, and his notion as to what the office of State Treasurer should be and how it ought to be administered. Revolt against "the unspeakable acts of the late Legislature," against the chine, against "conspiracies to loot the assets of the commonwealth from the coin in the Treasury to the coal in the bowels of the earth." Against "legislation to pinch the he capitalist and rob the laborer of the fruits of his toil," and against polities on the bench, brought him into the field, he says substantially. The Treasury, he adds, should cease to be regarded as a plum tree. and a receptacle for padded pay rolls and bonds of indemnity and finally he observes, "its transactions.

its assets and accounts should be open so that any citizen of the commonwealth desiring to do 50 may make himself familiar with them." It may be said in commenting upon the brief but admirable letter of Mr. Coray that it is not a network of glittering generalities or specious promises to catch votes. We have reason to know the he would have preferred that the burden of the campaign and the subsequent labor of reforming and conducting the office had fallen upon some one else than himself. But he vields to a call to duty spontaneously presented by a vast body patriotic citizens, jealous of the honor of the commonwealth" and his letter of acceptance is supported in every line and letter by an honorable record in the Legislature. SOUND LAW AND LOGIC.

In his able and timely opinion pronouncing sentence on Herr Most, the other day, Justice Hinsdale, of New York, defined the rights and responsi. bilities of a citizen in this language: "A person may advocate any change of our government by lawful or peaceful means, or may criticise the conduct of its affairs and get as many people to agree with him as he can, so long as he does not advocate the commission of crime as the means through which he is to attain his ends. If he advocates stealthy crime as the means of reaching his end, he by that act commits a crime." That is unquestionably sound doctrine and good legal reasoning. But it is quite AS true of a man who advocates ballot box stufting or bribery of legislators, or who conspires with others to loet the treasury or steal valuable franchises which belong to the people, as of the miscreants who counsel assassination. There are in this State among the high public officials men who employ fraudulent voters and direct them in their work.

They raise their hands in holy horror when the name of an anarchist is mentioned, vet they are more culpable than the murderous anarchists because they know better the obligations of good citizenship. At this time the managers of the Quay machine, both here and in Philadelphia. are planning to debauch the ballot at the coming election in order to compensate their party for the loss of the voters driven out by their immor. alities. What difference is there, morally speaking, between them and the wretch now in the Auburn prison awaiting the execution of the sentence of death for the murder of President MeKinley? The penalty for ballot frauds, forgeries, perjury and bribery is less se.

vere, but one is a crime as much as the other. WISDOM AND FOLLY. The Governor and his partner Justice Potter were wise in preserving silence concerning the revival and amplification of the telephone scandal but some of their fool friends have not exhibited the same mental balance. For example Recorder Brown, for whose appointment Governor Stone felt obliged to apologize by 'phone to Justice Brown, comes forward, not to deny the guilt of the accused but to justify the crime, and our esteemed but stupid local afternoon contemporary quotes somebody connected with the Bell telephone company to the effect that such a conversation could hardly have taken place because there is 2 law forbidding the revealment of telephone secrets. These who heard Recorder Brown's speech.

in the recent Republican State in which he presented the convention Justice Potter and convulsed the convention with laughter, will not be surprised at his action in the matter. Being new and verdant in polities occupying an office by the favor of one of the accused, and the first office of a long and yearning life, he naturally thought it was his duty to say something and as the rect and charge was circumstantial so well supported evidence by as di- to be unassailable, there was no alternative except silence or justification. In that case, if ever, silence would have been golden, but folly is invariably garrulous. In the case of our esteemed contemporary, well, "the least said the soonest mended." The Governor and the Justice can't help it. If they had known an injunction might have been issued but they didn't even suspect.

Nobody can tell what is going to come next from that quarter, and hardly anybody tries to guess. But in the interest of accuracy it ought to have added that the law forbidding the exposure of secrets of the telephone was passed after the event in question and in consequence of it. If there had been no revelation in May there would have been no bill of the kind introduced in June. ATTRACTIVE VOTING CONTEST. The Circulation Manager of the StarIndependent announces that in the near future the most attractive prize ever offered in this town will be put up for competition in a voting contest.

The prize will be a Mehlin piano, cash price $450.00, competitors to be the religious, social, and. beneficial societies, lodges, fire companies, schools and musical organizations in Central Pennsylvania. The prize is a most attractive one and the field of competition wide. The previous contests conducted by this journal have been eminently sitecessful and have given complete satis. faction to all participants.

But a careful study of the subject has convinced the Circulation Manager of the paper that there is an element of unfairness in a voting contest in which one competitor may purchase in bulk large numbers of papers. Under those circumstances it becomes a test not of the popularity or energy of the competitors but of their or capacity to spend money. For this reason the coming contest will be conducted on lines that will protect all competitors from that element of unfairness. Under 110 circumstances will papers be sold to individuals, news agents or anybody else in quantities for the purpose of securing coupons in bulk. With this guarantee of fairness there is no reason why every club, society, tire company or school in the neighborhood should not enter into the competition.

The prize is certainly an attractice one and would add largely to the equipment and adornment of the quarters of any organization. The arrangements for the contest are nearly complete and the voting will begin before long. Meantime organizations might begin preparations for the struggle. THE ARMY AND NAVY. The President, according to Washington dispatches, is very much in favor of a more efficient navy.

and the navy department appears to be in cordial sympathy with him on the subject. The President will not only recommend new ships of various types but an increase in officers and men and an expansion of the service in every direction. The Seeretary of the Navy will ask for an appropriation of about $100.000.000 for the purpose of making what he considers necessary improvements. It is a good round sum, but "Uncle Sam is Rich Enough to Buy Us All a Farm." It ought to be added that the Secretary of War is also anxious to expand and it is intimated that he will likewise ask for a greatly enlarged allowance for the maintenance of the defensive arm of the service, the navy being more properly the aggressive arm. The Pres.

ident is in sympathy with the War office, too, and will in all probability endorse the estimate of Secretary Root with respect to it. The other departments are growing more expensive every day, moreover, and before long, if pressent policies continue, Uncle Sam may be poor enough to seek shelter in an alms. house. Both the army and navy should be maintained on a basis of strength adequate to publie necessities. But there is neither rhyme nor reason in an ambition to compete with European countries in such things.

The great of this country lies in marvelous achievements in peaceful pursuits and our greatest strides were made when both the army and navy were comparatively small. We need no martial victories to make us a world power. While we feed the world we will be that if we hadn't a gunboat or a bayonet to our name. Justice Potter may not be a but he admits that he had to "scratch" fort the result on the "ripper." Secretary Gage recommended currency reform in an address before the American bankers' convention' in Milwaukee and added that the present 1s a propitious time to make the necessary changes in the laws governing the subject. Maybe the secretary is right in the matter and most people will agree that there ought to be a law which would prevent his interference with the currency supply every time his friends in Wall street get into hard lines.

While the other bankers are worrying in Milwaukee J. Pierpont Morgan is looking after "bis treasures in On Norember 2, 1871. in a speech which echoed in all parts of this land the late Samuel J. Tilden said: "If we find our dwellings wrapped in dames we should not inquire whether it was an American, an Irishman or a German: whether it was a Democrat or a Republican who lent us a hand to put out the fire. And on this occasion, in this great crisis in the affairs of our city, knowing nothing about the action of your committee of Seventy except what I bare heard, caring nothing who unites with us or with whom I unite for this grand object, I come before you to advocate a union of all honest men against a combina.

tion of plunderers." This reminds us that there are various points of difference between Samuel J. Tilden and John M. Garman. The Schley witnesses appear to make home runs every time and at last reports there was nobody out. The election of Rev.

Dr. Cameron Mann, of St. Louis, to the office of Episcopal Missionary of North Dakota is all right it it doesn't result in Isolating one of the brightest men in the Episcopal clergy the country. Dr. Mann is a gentleman of the, highest attainments and great pacity for good work, and while the new appointment may be a promotion, it is doubtful if it will add to his opportunities to serve the cause of religion to which he is devoted.

It is unimportant which of the Socialist parties gets on the official ballot. 86 the purpose of both is to trade, and trattic in politics, EDITORIAL SNAP -SHOTS. Mr. Jo. W.

Miller has favored the StarIndependent with his riews on the District Attorney question, which are given else. where in this issue. Mr. Miller's thoughts on that subject are his he alone is responsible for them. The Star-Independent regrets that it cannot endorse his statement that his candidate for District Attorney is not the candidate of a political faction.

but that not imply that he ought not to be voted for by Tom, Dick, or Harry. What the Quayites expect to gain by their attempt to have the nomination of Mr. Coray for State Treasurer by the Demo. cratic State Central Committee declared valid is not apparent. Suppose that their effort to have Mr.

Coray's name stricken from the Democratic ticket should be suecessful. not their scheme to obtain an unfair advantage at the election arouse such indignation throughout the state that the Democrats as well as many thousands of Republicans would vote. for Mr. Coray on the Union party ticket? And would such 3 result show a much larger antiQuay vote in the Union party column than would appear if the Democrats were permit. ted to vote for Mr.

Coray in their own party column on the official ballot? If the Quayites want to strengthen the Union party they will certainly achleve that end by compelling everybody who wants to vote for Mr. Coray to place his mark opposite his name in the Union party column. Admiral Schler is making a loop just now in which the bureaucrats will find it as hot as Cervera's fleet found t.at the battle of Santiago harbor. Now that the correspondents of the Asso. ciated Press have gotten at the Root of the matter they bare discovered that the health -of the Secretary of War is extremely good.

That carbuncle on the breast was a roast for the public, if not a boil. The leading leather men have organized "Free Hide They should not let congress play hide-and-go-seek with them. Ambassador Choate is expected in Wash1ngton next week, when he will join Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote in an' ef. fort to complete isthmian canal treaty. The outlook for the consent of England to a treaty which will be ratified by the United States senate is much improved.

FOR OLD AGE To the old, as to babies, the even balance of health is more important than anything else in the world.

The possible health, in age, is not high and strong; it is only even. There is no end, but death, to the trouble that comes of its loss. It ought to be watched like a baby's. Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil for very old and very young -in different ways--is the food to secure this even health. We'll send you a little to try, if you like SCOTT BOWNE, Pearl street, New York.

To the Editor of the Star-Independent: I noticed in a recent issue of your paper where a correspondent of the New York "Times," in referring to the ditticulty of finding a rhyme for the president's name, bints that the words and "sitver" are stone walls, SO far as rhyming is concerned. This may be SO for the common product of Parnassus, but for one whose Pegasus is thoroughbred, 'tis as easy as the proverbial descent to Auvernus. For instance: As I sit here to-night by the window, And dream in the fast fading light.

The second day's racing at the town fair was witnessed by an immense crowd and the large programme offered by the association was thoroughly enjoyed. The free-for-all pace brought out the three fastest horses ever raced on a halfmile track.

The track was lightning fast and when the three fast ones scored down first time everybody expected the world's track record to be beaten. Prince Alert drew the pole and was never headed, winning in 2.06¼. In the sec. ond heat Prince Alert went the first half in 1.04 and the last half in 1.01¾, with Conner a close second all the way. If it had not been for the wind the world's' record would have been beaten.

The track record was broken in the second heat. Indians. 29; 1 Haverford, 0. The Indians easily defeated Haverford at Carlisle yesterday by the score of 29 to 0. Haverford played a good offensive game, her guards back play being very fast.

and effective. Haverford by fast work got the ball to the Indian's fivevard line. but failed to score. The Indians scored in the first half after two minutes play, Yarlot being pushed over for a touchdown. Palmer hurdled the line several times, breaking loose for large gains and finally a touchdown.

Johnson made a fifty yard run from kick off, the fleetness of Captain Stone just saving a touchdown. Decora also broke loose for a long run and touchdown. The work of Captain Stone, Fox, Jones and Worthington was the feature of Haverford's play. The Indians' team was much changed in the second half. and they only scored once.

The work of Haverford was much better in the second half. Dickinson Preps Defeated. Before the Indian-Haverford game at Carlisle yesterday, a team composed of Indian substitutes and scrub, lined up against Dickinson preparatory school i in a practice game. The work of Fielder and Ruiz was very good, while the tackling of Craver and the work of Lininger and McCullough was a feature of Dickinson's work. The final score was 23 to 0 in favor of the Indians.

A LETTER To the Editor of the Star-Independent: The candidates for the office of district attorney are now making their respective canvasses and in that connection it is well to consider some points in reference thereto. It is manifestly unfair to other able an and good republican lawyers, as well as a reflection upon their ability, to nominate a man for re-election to the office of district attorney: and they, the republican lawyers, should resent such treatment br helping to elect the democratic candidate. Mr. Zimmerman and thereby secure a chance for not only a good-paying office but also one that always gives business prestige, which leads to further financial success. All republicans and democrats should join in this direction so as to teach the be generous and the office-holder magnanimous.

Mr. Zimmerman. as the candidate on the Democratic ticket. stands aloof from all party factions, therefore all factions can consistently and should give their bearty support. Mr.

Zimmerman also stands for the beat interests of the laboring classes. Respectfully, Jo. W. Miller. Big Bargains In Shoes.

The newest ideas are here and the patterns are bewilderingly pretty: you'll take off your hat to the people who designed them.
