A Reiteration of the National Stand on the Money Question—Civil Service Beform—Congressmen's Tariff Course Commended. Harrisburg, Aug. 27.—'?The following is the platform adopted here today by the Republican state convention: The Republicans of Pennsylvania ratify and reaffirm the doctrines enunci- ated in the national platform adopted at St. Louis in 1896 and approved by the people at the last presidential election. We rejoice with the people of the na- tion upon the passage of the Dingley tariff bill. Its enactment redeems the pledges made by the Republican party to our prostrate manufacturing, com- mercial and business interests, and holds out to them the bright promise of pros- perity and material development, such as has ever attended upon legislation designed for the protection of home in- dustries and the preservation of home markets. ' “Dollar wheat” has soundedthe death- knell of the “free coinage” heresy. In the late presidential campaign the strongest bid made for the agricultural vote by the Democratic party was the promise that their success in that elec- tion would raise the market price of wheat to $1 a bushel—payable in silver. They were overwhelmingly defeated at the polls, and the farmer now receives for his wheat $1 a bushel—payable in gold. The dollar he thus receives will buy in the market $2.35 worth of silver, as measured by the coinage value of that metal. We pledge ourselves anew to the Republican doctrine of sound money and an honest dollar. Civil Service. We adhere to and renew again the pledges of the Republican party to maintain a just, reasonable and equita- ble system of civil service, but we de- nounce ex-President Cleveland for his partisan abuse of its powers and his ma- nipulation and unjust extension of its provisions beyond that which was orig- inally contemplated by the law or re- quired in the interest of good govern- ment, so as to protect the unfit ap- pointees of his own party from threat- ening nonpartisan competition. With an earnest desire to sustain the principles of the law and secure an hon- est, economical and efficient adminis- tration 0f the affairs of the government, we demand that the president of the United States by executive order and congress by legislative enactment at the approaching session shall establish a civil service system that shall meet the approval of the better judgment and common sense of the American people. We again declare ourselves in favor of the needed reforms in state and mu- nicipal governments, the purification of elections and the free exercise of the elective franchise which were advocat- ed in the state platfornmg of 1895 and 1896. ' The Administratoion' Indorsed. We heartily and cordially indorse the administration of, President McKinley. AlthOUEh but a flew months have passed since his indu'ction into the high office for Which he 'was chosen, he has proved himself won-thy of the confidence repos- ed in him 'by the American people. Firm as an erlrecutive officer, diplomatic and dignified in his official relations with other: countries, wise and conservative in "council, unyielding and immovable in. his devotion to the principles of good government, determined and uncompro- mising in the advocacy of a party pol- icy that is restoring prosperity to our country, constant and faithful to the doctrine of his party, demanding that the integrity of our monetary system shall be maintained, he has met the highest expectations of the Republican party and the American people. The action of the legislature in the enactment of laws demanded by the la- boring classes and in providing, by ade- quate legislation, sufficient revenue to pay the deficit now existing in the treasury, enabling the state to appro- priate $5,500,000 annually for the support of the common school system and at the same time maintain our penal, charitable and other worthy institu- tions, deserves and receives the highest commendation and unqualified approv- al of the people. Other Matters. \Ve commend the legislature for the passage of the bill requiring the pay- ment' of interest on the deposits of moneys belonging to the state by the various banking institutions thereof. This law will materially increase the state revenues and meets the generous and hearty approval of the people. We heartily indorse the intelligent, businesslike and efficient administra- tion of our financial affairs under the management of the accounting officers of the commonwealth. We tender to both houses of the Fed- eral congress our congratulations upon the happy result of their deliberations upon the tariff. They have promptly and satisfactorily solved a difficult problem by the enactment of a measure which Will supply ample revenue and adequately protect native industries. We extend to the senators and con- gressmen from Pennsylvania our grate— ful acknowledgments for their watch- ful care and statesmanlike efforts in behalf of Pennsylvania's commercial and business welfare. We commend Governor Daniel H. Hastings for his faithful, honest and economical admin- istration of state affairs and indorse his watchfulness of the people’s interest. No Breakfast For Strikers. Plttsburg, Aug. 27.—There was no food In Camp Isolation at Plum Creek for the strikers’ breakfast, and for the first time since the camp was inaugurated the miners experienced the hardship of doing without anything to eat. The absence of provisions, however, will not continue. There are no new develop- ments to-day.‘ - ._______,.. Against Civil Service Reform. Washington, Aug. 27.—-The National Anti Civil Service league elected per- manent officers, and among them ex- Representative Henry M. Baker of New Hampshire as first vice president. The league will address circulars to every .member of congress and begin an ac- tive campaign for the repeal of the ex— isting laws. LOCAL EVIDENCE.

Doan’s Kid- ney Pills came to our notice through reading the papers and thinking they might help her, she went to Hale’s drug store and got a box. Although pretty bad at the time, the pills took right hold and she pulled through the attack without giving completely up, something she could not do before using,r the remedy.

Returning Fortfl-u‘ Seekers Report Very Few Phe..u.ue a; Strikes. Port Townshen.., Wash, Aug. 27.—The schooner J. M. be.i'ilan, ..hich left St. Michael's, at the mouth of the Yukon, on July 28, was spoken off Race Rocks. The Colman brings four passengers who have been in the Klondike, and who left Dawson City July 17. The passengers are Charles H. Metcalf of Detroit, Mich.; B. E. Jones, Berkeley, Cal., an assayer for the Alaska Commercial company at Dawson; C. B. and Z. B. Patrick, broth- ers, from Humboldt, Cal. They left Dawson ten days after the Thorp party, which arrived at Seattle last week on the steamer George E. Carr from Dyea. They all tell stories of the richness of the Klondike, Bonanza and El Dorado creek, but all say that very few clean ups have been made since the earl! summer. Metcalf has been engaged in the merchandise business at Dawson City, Circle City and other points for three years past, and has been out every year. He goes in each year over the Dyea trail, and last spring he took 20 tons of freight. It took him from March 6 to May 1 to get his freight over the pass with one man, two horses and eight dogs. From Lake Lindeman to Daw- son City he was 14 days. When the Colman left St. Michael's there were about 12 men waiting to come out on the steamer Portland, and another steamer with passengers was expected down the river before the time set for the sailing of the Portland. The men waiting at St. Michael’s all had from $5,000 to $15000, but no phenomenal strikes were reported by them. With regard to ascending the Yukon. Mr. Metcalf said it takes from 20 to 25 days to go from St. Michael's to Dawson City, and passengers leaving Seattle. Wash, later than Aug. 20 will have no chance of reaching Dawson City this fall. The Lippy claim on Bonanza creek, from which gold amounting to $112,000 was taken, he said, was one of the best developed claims in the group. Others will doubtless prove just as rich when fully developed; , The first claim located on Bonanza creek was named Discovery, and is recognized by miners as the center of the field, many others being numbered each way from it. Sixty claims :72 30‘." located above and 90 below Discovery, in all 15 miles being taken. On El Do- rado creek, which empties into Bonanza, 60 claims are located, 20 nearest the junction of the creeks being fabulously rich. From one claim located on Skoo- kum gulch, tributary to Bonanza creek. N. W. Porters of Denver and Joseph Goldsmith of Juneau took $5,000 in nug- gets, ignoring fine gold. They after— ward sold the claim for $25,000 cash. They worked only four weeks. Bear creek, a small tributary of Klondike, is also remarkably rich in gold. BORDA’S ASSASSINATION. Sherman Expresses Abhorrence of Mur- der of Uruguay’s President. Washington, Aug. 27.—Minister Stuart alt Montevideo has cabled the state de- partment an official announcement of the assassination of President Bardo of Uruguay.

Secretary Sherman sent the following dispatch to Minister Stuart: “Express deep abhorrence president and people of United States at assas— sination President Borda and their sym— pathy with his countrymen in their af- fliction.” Secretary Sherman also sent the fol- lowing telegram to the president at Cleveland: “In view of a telegram from our min- ister at Montevideo, I have today tele- graphed Mr. Stuart to express deep ab- horrence of president and people‘ of the United States at assassination of Presi- dent Borda and their sympathy with his countrymen in their affliction.” One Day’s Government Receipts.
