Mr. Speaker and Gentiemen cf the Notification Committee: lam deeply sersibie of tke high honor conferred upon. me by the representatives of the republican party assembled in convention, and I accept the nomination for..the presidency with solemn realization of the obligations I assume. I heartily approve the deciaration of principles which the repub:ican national convention has adopted, and at scme future day I shall communicate to you, Mr. Chairman, more at length and in detatl a formal written acceptance of the nomination. 3

Three years ago I became president because of the death of my lamented predecessor. I then stated that it was my purpose to carry out his principies and poiicies for the henor and the interest of-the couniry..: To the best of my ability I have kept the promise thus made. If next November my countrymen confirm at the poils the action of the convention you represent, I shal!l, under Providence, ~ continue to work with an eye singje to the welfare of our peéple. : A party is of worth only in so far as it . promotes the national interest, and every official, high or low, can serve his party best by rendering to the people the best service of which he'is capable. Effective government comes only as the result of the loyal cooperation of many different persons. The members of a legisiative .majority, the officers in the various departmen:s of the administration, ard the - legislative and executive branches as towards each other,. must work together with suberdination of self to the common end of successful government. We who have been entrusted with power as public,servants during tlie past seven years of Jadministration and legislation now come before the people content to be Judged by our mwd of achievement. In the years that have gone by we have made . the deed square with the word; ard if we are continued in power we shall unswerv= ingly follow out the great lines of public poiicy which the republican party has already laid down: a public policy to which - we are giving, and shall give, a urnited, and, therefore, an efficient support. I all this we are more fortunate than our opponents, who 'now appeal for confidence on the ground, which some express and some'seck to have confidentially undérstood, that if triumphant they may be trusted to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years they Lave laid down as vital. and to leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration because of ‘which they ask that the administration itself be driven from power. Seem- . ‘ingly their present attftude as to their past record is that some of them were mis- - taken and others insincere. We make our appeal in a wholly different spirit. We are not constrained to keep silent on an¥ vital question; we are divided en no vital question; our policy is continuous, and is —the same for all sections and Jlocalities. There is nothing. experimental about the government we ask the people to continue In power, for our performance in the past, our proved governmental efficiency, is a guaranteé as to our promises for the future.. Our opponents, either openly or secretly, according to their several temperaments, now ask the people to’ trust their present promises in consideration of the fact that they intend to treat their past promises as null and void. We know our own minds and we have kept of the same mind for a sufficient length of time to give to our policy coherence and sanity, In such a.fundamental matter as the enforcement of the law we do not have to depend upon promises, but merely to ask _that our record be taken as an earnest of what we shall continue to do. In dealing ~with the great organizations known as‘

trusts, we do not have to explain why the laws were not enforced, but to point out that they actually have been enforced and that legislation has been eracted to increase the effectiveness of their enforcement. We do not have to propose. to ‘‘turn the rascals out,” for we have shown in every deed that whenever by diligent investigation a public official can be found who has betrayed his trust e will be puntshed: to the full extent of the law without regard to whether he was appointed under a republican or a democratic administration. This is the efficient way to turn the rascals out ard to keep them out, and it has the merit c¢f sincerity; Moreover, the betrayais of trust in the last seven- years have been insigniﬁcant in number when compared with the extent of the public service. Never has the admin{stration of the government been on a cleaner and higher level; never has the public work of the nation been done more honestly ang@ eifficiently, : : Assuredly it is unwise to change the policies- which have worked so well and whigh are now working so well. Prosperity has come at home. The national honor and interest have been upheld abroad,” We have-placed the finances of the nation upon a sound gold basis. We have doné this with the aid of many who were formerly our opponents. but who would neitheropenIy supportnorsilently acquiesce in the here: sy of unsound finance; and we have done it agalnst the convinced and violent oppaosition of the mass of our present oppone:its who still refuse to recant the unsound opinions which for the moment they think it inexpedient to assert. We know what we mean when we speak of an honest and stable currency. We mean the same thing from year to year. We do not have to avoid a definite and conclusive committal on the most important issue which has recently been before the people, and which may at any time in the near future be before them again. Upon the principies which underlie this issue the convictions of half of our number do nat clash with those of the other half. So long as the republican party is in power the gold stanHard i 3 settied, not as a matter of temporary political?expediency, not because of shifting conditions in the production of gold in certain mining centers,butinaccordance with what weregard as the fundamental principles of nationail morality an@ wisdom. Under the financial legislation which we have enacted there is now ample circulation for every business reed; and every doltar of this circulation is worth a dollar in gold. We have reduced the interestbearing debt and in still larger measure the interest on that debt. All of the war taxes imposed during the Spanish war have been removed with a view to relieve the

Wife’'s Dream Came True.

Warned by his wife to be careful while at work, because of a préemonition that he ‘wounld be injured, Charles Shott, of Sharon, Pa., a few hours after met with an accident that may prove fatal.

people ard to prevent the accumulation of an unnecessary surpius. The resut is that hardly ever before have the expenditures and income of the government so c!osesly'cormﬁponded. In th 2 fiscal year that has just|closed the excess of -income over the crdinary expenditures was $9,000,000. . This does rot take account of the $50,000,000 expended out of the accumulated surplus for the purchase of the isthmian canal. It is an extraordinary proof of the sound financial condition of the na‘tion that instead of following the usual course in such matters and throwing the burden upon posterity by an issue of Ibonds, we were able to make the payment cutright and yet after it to have in [ the treasury a surplus of $161,000.000. Moreover, we were able to pay this $50,000,000 out of hand without causing the slightest disturbance to businesg conditions, We have enacted a tariff law under which during the past few years the country ' has attained a height of material well.being never before reacked. Wages are higher than ever before. That whenever the need arises there should be a readjustment of the tariff scheduies is urdoubted; but such changes can with safety be made only by those whose devotion to the principie of a protective tariff is beyond question; for otherwise the ~hanges would amount not to readjustment, but to repeal. The readjustment vhen made must maintain and not destroy the protective principle. To the farmer, tke merchant, thke manufacturer this is vital; but perhaps no other man is so much interested as the wage-worker in the mainterance of our present econgmic system, beth as regards the finances and the tariff. The standard of living of our wage-workers is higher than that of any other country, and-it cannot so remain unless we have a protective tariff which shall always keep as a minimum & rate of duty sufficient to cover the difference betwcen the labor cost here and abroad. Those wlo, like our opponents, ‘‘denocunce protection as a robbery.”” thereby explicitly commit themselves to the proposition that if-they were to revise the tariff nc hee@ would be paid to the necessity of meeting this difference between the standards of living for wage-workers here and in:ether countries; and therefore on this point their antagonism to our pojsition is funda--mental. Here, again, we ask that their promises and ours be judged by what kas been done in the immed.ate past. We ask that sober and sensible men compare the workings of the present tariff law, and the!conditions which obtain under it, with the workings of the preceding tariff jaw of 1894 and the conditions which tkat tariff of 1894 helped to bring about. : We beileve in reciprocity with foreign nations on the terms: outlined in Presi‘dent McKinley's last speech, which urged the externsion of our foreign markets by reciprocal agreements whenever they couid b 2 made without injury to American industry and labor. 1t is a singuiar fact that the only great reciprocity treaty recently adopted—that with Cuba—was firally opposed almost alone by the representatives of the very party which now states that it favors reciprocity. - And here again we ask that the worth of our words be judged by comparing their deeds with ours. On this Cuban reciprocity treaty there were at the outset grave differences of opinion among ourselves; and the notable thinrg in the negotiation and ratification of the treaty, and in the legislation which carried it into effect, was the highly prac- ‘ tical manner in which without sacrifice of principle these differences of opinion were reconciled. There was no rupture of a great party, but an excellent practical outcome, the result of the harmonious cooperation of two successive presidents and two successive congresses: This is an illustration of the governing capacity which entitles us to the confidence of the people not only in our purposes but in our practical - ability to. achieve those purposes. Judging by the history of the last 12 years, down to this very month, is there justification for believing that under similar circumstances and with similar initial differences of opinion, our opponents w%uld have achieved any practical result? v | We have already shown in actual fact that our policy is to do fair and equal Jjustice to all men, raying no heed to whether a man is rich or poor; paying no heed | to his race, his creed, or his birthplace. ‘We recognize th 2 organization of capital and the organization of labor as natural outcomes of our industrial system. Each kind of organization is to be favored sso long as it acts in a spirit of justice and of regard for the rights of others. Each is to be granted the full protection of the law, and each in turn is to be held to a strict obedience to the law; for no man is above it an@® no man below it. The humblest individual is to have his rights safeguarded as scrupulously as those of the strongest organization, for each is to’ receive justice, no more and no less. The problems with which we have to deal in our modern industrial and social life are manifold; : but the spirit in which it is necessary to approach their solution is simply the spirit of honesty, of courage, and of common sense.

Ever since this continent was discovere@ the need of an !sthmian canal to connect the Pacific and the Atlantic has been recognized; and ever since the birth of our nation such a canal has been planned. At last the dream has b&ome a reality. The l isthmian canal is now being built by the government of the United States. | We conducted the n2gotiations for its construction with the nicest and most scrupulous honor, and in a spirit of the largést generosity toward thoge through whose territory it was ‘o run. Every sinister effort which could be devised by the spirit of faction or the spirit of self-interest was made in-orcer to’ defeat the treaty with Panama, and thereby prevent the consummation of this work. The construction of ! the canal is now an assured fact:; but most | certainly it is unwise to entrust the carrying out of so momentous a policy to those who have endzavored to defeat tke whole undertaking.

Hearing Restored by Shock.

William Colee, of Pittsgrove, N. 7J., who has been very deaf, has had his hearing partially restored, the result of being stunned by lightning, and declares his hearing is almost as good as ever. During a thunderstorm the house. of O. R. Alderman was struck by lightning and several members of the family were stunned. Mr. Coles, who is 91 years old and Mr. Alderman’s father-in-law, felt a peculiar sensation in his ears at the time, an¢ later discovered that his hearing hai greatly improved.

! been sacriticed, our -relations with all for- { eign nations are now of the most peaceful { ‘kind; there is not a cioud on thLe horizon. i The last cause’ of irritation between us land any. other nation was removed by | the settiement of the Alaskan-boundary. i In the Caribbean sea we have made good | our promises of incependence to Cuba, ' ard Lave proved our assertion that our { mission in the island. was one of justice | 'and not of seif-aggrandizement; and l thereby no less than by our action in Venezueia and Panama we have shown that 1 the Monroe doctrine is a living reality, cesigred for the hurt of no nation, but l for the protection of civilization on the | western continent and for the peace of the weorid. Our steady growth in power has gone han@ in hand with a strengthkening disposition to use this power with strict regard for the rights of others, and for the cause of international justice and -good will, : We earnestly desire friendship with all the nations of the new and old worlds; and we endeavor to piace our relations with them upon a basis of reciprocal advantage instead of hostility. We hold trat the prosperity of each nation is an aid and not a hindrance to the prosperity of other natiors. We seeck international -amity for tne same reasons that make us beiieve in peace within our own borders; and we seek this peace, not because we are afraid or unready, but because we think that peace is right as well as advantageous. > American interests in the Pacific have rapidly grown. American'enterprise has laid a cable acrcss this, the greatest of oceans. We have proved in eftective fashion that we wish the Chinese empire weil and desire its integrity and independence. Our foothold in the Philippines greatly strengthens our position in the competition for the trade of the east; but we are governing thke Philippines in the interest of the Philippine people themselves. We have already given them a large share in their government, and our purpose is to increase this share as rapid.y as they give evidence of increasing fitness for the task. The great majority of ‘ the officials of the islands, whether elective or appointive, .are already native Filipincs. .We are now providing fgr a legislative assembly. This is the first step to be taken in the future; and it would be eminently unwise to declare what our next step will be until this first step has been taken and the results are manifest. To have gone faster than we have already gone in giving the islanders a constantly increasing measure of self-government would have been disastrous. At the present moment to give political independence to the islands would result in the immediate loss of civil rights, personal liberty and public order, as regards the mass of the Friiipinos, for the majority of the islanders.. have been given these great bcons by us, and only keep them because we .vigilantly safeguard and guarantee them. To withdraw our government from the islands at this time would mean to the average native the loss of his barelySwon civil freedom. We have established in the islands a governmengby Americans assisted by Filipinos. 4“’e‘ are steadily striving to transform this into self-gov-ernment by the Filipinos assisted by Americans,

The principles which we uphold should appeal to our countrymen, in all portions of -our country. Above all they should give us srength with the men and women who are the spiritual heirs of those who upheid the hands of Abraham Lincoln; for we are striving to do our werk in the spirit with which Linccin approacled his. During the seven years that have just passed there is no duty, domestic or foreign, which we have shirked; no necessary risk which we have feared to undertake, or which we have not performed with reasonable efficiency. We have never pleaded impotence. 'We have never sought refuge in criticism and complaint instead of action. We face the future with our past and our present as guarantors of our promises; and we are content to stand or to fall by the record which we have made and are making. ; I

STABILITY OF MOUNTAINS.

Scientific Measurements for the Information of Generations Yet Unborn.

At the recent gathering of the Association of Academies, Sir A. Geikie moved a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, says the London Telegraph, in favor of international cooperation in the efforts to obtain ‘“Precise determination of levels in mountain chains subject to -earthquakes, with the view of ascertaining whether such chains are stable, or are undergoing movements of deviation or depression.” Another proposal aimed to secure measurements of the value of gravity, with the object, so far as geological questions are concerned, of throwing light on the-internal distribution of masses in the earth and on the rigidity or isostasy of the terrestrial crust. These problems call for minute and rigorous observation. In this way it is believed to have been proved that the land:about the city of New York has been subsiding since 1875 at the rate of about 1.45 feet (nearly 17% inches) -per century. Posterity 1,000 or 10,000 years hence will have a right to know not merely how high Etna or Vesuvius was in 1904, but what were lhe elevation and appearance of Beachy ‘Head; how much the old rock has lost by waste of the sea at its foot, or by denuding rains on its summit and flanks; or how much it may have gained by uplifting forces. They will know these things in 2904, just as they will know how the stars and nebulae are distributed in our skies, and the knowledge will be very helpful to the future astronomers and geologists. In these mmatters photography, as the handmaid of research, can render easily: and cheaply incomparable services.

MODES OF LATE SUMMER

T SEEMS to me that the i season is prolonged every 8 \? year, and now there are many people who do no: _ think of leaving town before August. The summer is certainly later than it uscd to be, and it is not unusual for our light, thin frocks to bz in request as late as September.

Some of the darker flannels in stripes and spots are very attractive and suitable for neat costumes for the woman who is afrzid of looking stout in the blouse-like garment. Dark bluo and white, black and white, and red and white are charming on the water. The rage this year is for brightcolored linens. We have had such prettily embroidered linen blouses that many of us find it advisable to invest in a plain linen skirt or two to go with them, because here, as elsewhere, if we want to locok our smartest, the skirt and blouse should be of the same color. Red is essentially a water shade and nothing looks better againsr the background of gray and green.

There is a linen in a new dark shade of red which is very effective made up as a skirt and bolero, worn with a white muslin sun hat and blouse, and a white washing-leather belt and gloves. Some women look their best in the duck’s-egg shade, which is extremely effective and pretty, whereas French women seem to prefer white linne of a coarse description, almost resembling a holland, trimmed with coarse embroidery to correspond; this is one of the most effective models for the seaside.” :

Then there is a coarse silky linen which is most attractive when mixed with Irish crochet or torchon lace. The finer makes of linen are produced in a variety of beautiful shadings, and are usually made up very simply with a stitched or strapped skirt and blouse. For the river and country one must not forget the charms_of brown holland—real, old-fashioicd brown holland, which is so effective when embroidered in red or white. Nowadays, on the decorated houseboats, and on the pretty country

Things have changed considerably since ten years ago, when the only correct dress for the water was a neat, plain serge skirt and blouse, and the hard sailor hat. Then the cult of the tailor-made giri, so essentially Saxon, was in the ascendant; now we have changed -all that, and have become more cosmopolitan in our taste. x There are few entertainments given where the orthodox blue serge is aitogether absent. To-day this can be the very smartest of garments, for our tailors are copying the Viennese styie with the excellence of American work-

THE TOILETTES OF PARIS

ARIS.—The hot weather makes us very loth to think about the ‘'modes of the future, although {from ™ the ateliers of Vienna new ideas are. emanating)\ But S 0 exquisite are the summer muglins, chiffons and laces, that for the moment we are content with their charms.

Of course, the leading dressmalkers over here are chiefly devoting their aitention to smart garments for Homburg, Aix and the continent in general. 1t is of Homburg gowns I would tell you this week, for I have seen soms3 destined for leading foreigners, chiefly Americans. White, only sharings its popularity with palest. Malmaison pink, may be said to constitute the best frocks. FKinest white embroidered muslins flounced and trimmed with insertions and edgings of old-world Valenciennes lace, are the favorite models for the continent, varied according to the fancy of the wearer by a narrow band, a high sash, a falling pelerine from an empiecement of transparent lace, etc. Some of these muslin frocks are made with a high skirt and a lace bolero. Then I like deep yoke pieces fastening up the back with a kind of fichu-like pelerine, the skirt flounced and inserted to the waist and worn with a deep, pointed, colored Marie Antoinette band, finished with tiny rosettes-down the front. The charms of such a really old-fashioned muslin frock are many. It can be carried out, too, in pink with cream lace, and is very effective also in black painted muslin or flowered gauze. Painted, striped; plain, check and flowered gauzes seem to be revived for the continental season, and in dark shades such frocks can be very useful. * Then a great deal of Tussore silk is being made up, with a simple, gauged skirt and bodice, and an introduction of pale blue or oriental embroidery, and worn with a big straw hat, trimmed with poppies and cornflowers.

Some of the embroidered silk linens will be simply made up with cream embroideries and ecoarse yak lace; these make very charming and useful morning and afternoon toilettes. There is much distinction about the toilette de reception over here; for ons thing they are nearly all made with elbow sleeves, and the high collar is less en evidence, the throat being just visible in many cases. -

manship. Some of the best serges of the moment are Heavily braided with flat silk braids and ornamented with tiny gold or silver wrought buttons. Of course, nothing lod®.s more charming than the white serge frock. . Smart and . suitable tailor-made wraps are a great consideration. Linen is an excellent substitute for the Tussore dust wrap. It looks very smart

in pretty shades, and, without being too heavy, has a certain amount of weight. Some of the smartest wraps of the season are in serge, cloth-and linen. The latter in pale blue, decorated with straps, lined with thin silk and showing a collar and revers of Y, S 5 ,"|- 5 e " T Y £, | g o VHEK % ! ’ G NGy LrEL R v % o &\\;\. } ) G t.‘\ jf.’"“t‘ 9\) !I!"‘ AN Lo ey -?”.‘\\’! / N e N T N e ie ! o A DAINTY CHEMISE., handsome embroidery, 1s very effective. White cloth wraps are extremely chic, particularly those made with detachable triple capes, lined with pale blue silk and braided in white, and perhaps a touch of blue. These are really becoming and quite useful. I have seen a most delightful white linen wrap, the front and collar of which are trimmed with a curious linen embroidery of a coarse 'rmake, taking in,several shades of dull . red and black. This is lined with a white corded silk, and is further decorated with some beautiful oxidized buttons. There is a new make of coarse yaik lace, which forms a delightful applique trimming, and is quite in keeping with this kind of smart tailor-built garment.

To avoid incongruity, our millinery must receive careful. attention. The Breton sailor and the plateau shape in coarse straw, chip and panama, have been in favor all this summer; any idea of hardness is dispelled by a drapery of gauze, washing-net or lace in the form of a veil, arranged over the brim. The three-cornered hat is still. considered smart, while the “marquise” shape in chip and panama is once again in favor! All such shapes of extreme simplicity seem de rigueur with the tailor-made frock. Lovely specimens of the kimono are made of thick white satin, trimmed with gold and silver galon;. satin cut in this rather severe style falls into delightful folds by its own weight, and a soft effect is obtained by linings of chiffon and lace. :

A girl friend asked me questions regarding trousseau lingerie the other day, and I will tell you something of what I told her. The girl who is to be married of course wants everything of the very nicest, and to secure thia desired effect she should have her lingerie made of nainsook. Nothing else is so good, nor will anything else wash or wear so well. In the same conunection I ran across a sketch of what I consider a charming nainsook chemise suitable for evening wear. It is made with little turn-out points of lace insertion and embroidery, edged with frills of lace. Straps of soft silk ribbon pass over the shoulders, and are fastened back and front with ribbon rosettes.

ELLEN OSMONDE

I have noticed some lovely lace frocks, both in fine anu coarse malkes. These are generally made very plainly, softened with mousseline de soie insertions. Apricot and deep cream shades are de rigueur over foundations of white, and are mostly worn with big black hats.

TEAMSTERS GO OUT.

Given Permission to Join Ranks of Sympathetic Strikes in : Chicago. )

" Chicagzo. July 27.—One thousand teamsters employed by the Chicago packing houses received permission shortly before midnight from the teamsters’ joint council and the executive committee of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to join in a sympathetic strike with the butcher workmen. The strike went into effect: at 1:30 o’clock Wednesday morning. At the same hour 1,000 teamsters in Kansas City, 400 in St. Louis and East St. Louis and 125 in Boston joined ia the sympathetic movement. Chicago, July 28.—Forty freight handlers employed by the Chicago Junction Railway company struck Wednesday afternoon in sympathy with the stock yards butchers and members of the allied trades. The strike was unexpected and was hailed by union leaders as the forerunrer of walkouts by other labor organizations which have not thus far figured directly in the packing house controversy. The movement is of considerable importance, in that it will force ;he freight handlers in downtown stations out on strike if the packers send meats to stations outsice of their own branchdepartments.asthey didtwoyears ago. In all the branch wholesale-houses of the big packers throughout the city the cars are unloaded by employes of the packers. With practically all the union mep smployed by the meat packing companies on strike, the owners of the plants declared they did not care to enter into ‘any further agreements with the butcher workmen. The, one attempt to reopen negotiations, made by the state board of arbitration, came to ncthing with the receipt of the ceclaration. Chicago, July 29.—The packers at noon Thursday won an important vietory in the big stockyards strike, the first emphatic gain that has been made by either side since the general walkout was declared in effect. &ight hunired live stock handlers threw aside their allegiance to allied trades and at the noon hour began to handle cattle indiscriminately, both for the packers in the combine-and for the independent companies. Most of these 800 meL went to work Wednesday morning to handle the goods of the “independents” and they had worked on this basis untfl 12 o’clock Thursday. This action on the part of the handlers is regarded as a most serious loss to the cause of the strikers, and in some quarters it is believed to be a forerunner of a stampede to tlie protecting arms of the packers and a desertion of the unions.

Chicago, July 30.—Peace prospects at the sinrkyards received a black eye Friday in the arrest of George F. Golden. bhusiness agent of the PackingHouse Teamsters’ union and president of the teamsters’ joint ‘council. He was taken from his office, locked in a cell and for an hour refused bail for issuing instructions from his office window to a union driver. Not until neariy all the labor leaders directing the big strike had surrounded the stockyards police station demanding Golden’s release and threatening habeas-corpus proceedings, preparations for ‘which were already under way, was Golden given freedom:. In the brief time covered by these developments the pacific attitude of the strike leaders was changed into bitrerness.
