Senater Jehn Stewart made a speech la the Senate which he has caused te be elaboatdy-repertedbythe telegrapher. What Mr. Stewart said wa that he was a man. and dealt with things In a manly way; that he had therefore at the com meneementef the extra session proposed te his fellow Republican senators that they should give an ultimatum te the Democrats, In the way or a congressional aDDortlenment. which they had done; ami h aoeMled te the Democrats te fellow his manly example and te give te their opponents their ultimatum and net seek te bargain and trade like the hone jockey and Jew. Mr. Jehn Stewart lately aspired te be a statesman. He came te the surface a year or two age as the apostle of reform, and succeeded In supplanting Mr. Wolfe as the chief standard bearer of the com pany that Mr. Wolfe gathered together. Mr. Stewart appeared before the people at; a. candidate for governor, and was net elected by a large majority. Ever since that day, It has been apparent that Mr. Stewart's geed opinion of the public judgment has waned; and at this session of the Senate he has been acting as though he was possessed of the same de gree of appreciation of it that led Mr. William Vanderbilt te exclaim upon one occasion when he was confronted with it, "the public be damned." Unfortunately In such cases the result Is that it Is the damnerand net the pub. lie that Is damned; especially in affairs political, where votes count. Mr. Jehn Stewart doubtless contemplated an im mediate retirement from politics when he made that speech in the Senate.whese effect would inevitably be te heist him out of political life. A senator, who has aspired te be a leader in reform, but who has yet no better conception of the dif ference between his duty as a man and as a legislator, than te declare that legis latien, which is commanded te be done by the constitution. Is properly under taken by the presentation of ultimatums by the different sentiments among the legislators, is certainly better qualified te sit in a lunatic asylum than in the Senate chamber. It would be quite proper for Mr. Jehn Stewart, in his in dividual business, where it is net his duty te seek an agreement with his neighbor, te present te him his ultima tum ; but even then it would net be necessary for him te call for hi3 op ponent's ultimatum. The preposition which he presented, by virtue of its be ing an ultimatum, excluded the con sideration of any ether, and if it was net accepted the parties had only te agree te differ, as they had a right te de. But when Jehn Stewart sits as a sena ter, under a constitutional mandate te the Legislature te apportion the state, he is bound te apportion it or be fore fere fore seorn. He cannot agree te differ with his fellow legislators. It is incumbent en him te seek te agree with them by every means in his power. And Mr. Jehn Stewart will have a very remarkably bad record, when he gees before the people te declare that he conceded everything te his opponents that be could conscientiously yield, te b scute a congressional apportionment. Fer It happens that Mr. Stewart pre pared and presented at th regular ses sion a bill, known by his name, which at the extra session the Democrats offer te accept; and Mr. Stewart does net give them that as his present ultimatum. Mr. Stewart says that it is the ques tion of the distribution of political power that keeps the two parties from agreement upon the apportionment ; and that, of course, is se. The issue which will be taken before the people will be hh te the fairness of the distribution of political power. The different political sentiments in the state should be justly represented in Congress and the Legisla ture. That the people will recognize as a truism ; that the constitution centem plates; and when Mr. Stewart de clares that an apportionment, which make contiguous and convenient districts of equal population, satisfies the demand of an apportionment bill, though ten representatives are given te one party and double the number te another, when there are an equal number of votes in each party, he declares what the geed sense of the people will net sustain him In ; and upon that issue the Deme cratic party can safely go before them, demanding justice and equal representa tlen. Mr. Jehn Stewart, a man of once reputed sense, has succeeded in talking mere nonsense in a day than should have served him for a life time. The Judicial Apportionment BUI. The governor at the last moment has signed the judicial apportionment bill. We de net knew the reasons which moved him, after mature consideration, te approve this bill, which we consider unconstitutional in some of Its features and ill conceived In ethers. It is said that the governor's desire te have some fruit from the extra session induced him te approve the judicial apportionment, though we cannot believe that this was his ruling motive, as it would net be a sensible Idea te take a bad bill rather than no bill from the extra session as a means of making it sweet in the nostrils of the people. We have se often declared and se firmly believed, that the extta session was fully justified by the man date of the constitution requiring the renewed apportionments te be made,tbat we cannot conceive that Governer l'at tlsen, who called it, can think that It needs anything further in the way of legislation te justify its having been called. Of course It needs legislation te make it profitable te the people ; but for that purpose it needs geed legislation. A bad apportionment will net win credit for these who made it. The Legislature and the governor must be judged and justified by the quality of the work they turn out. Any sort of work will net de. They have an intelligent people watch ing them. This judicial apportionment bill will be scrutinized and criticized by them. If they approve It, it will be well for the Legislature that made it and the governor that signed it ; and who there by takes a full share of responsibility ifer its existence. Governer Patt&en hat demonstrated Us eeurage an disposi dispesi ftnn te veto all bills which he does net. approve ; and especially all which be deems of doubtful constitutionality. In approving the judicial apportionment he has signified, by the act itself, his belief that it is constitutional in all its features, and generally wise In its dh positions ; and we shall be glad if the public judgment agrees with his, though ours does net. A spahkihe saateh has new been arranged between Sullivan, the Bosten slugger, and Paddy Ryan. Of eeurte, everybody knows that it is the gate money which will induce Ryan te stand up te be knocked down. Senater Stbwabt, the author of the Stewait congressional bill, whieh the Dam oerats were willing te take, new announces thatheisalse the author of the present 'ultimatum." The brazen inconsistency of the senator from Franklin is almost without historie parallel. "The Republicans are bound te carry Kentucky at no distant day," asserts the Philadelphia North American. This is about as forlorn an idea as could be enter tained these modern times, and aB vis ienary as the belief of the fisherman of Leugh Neigh, who pretend te see the towers of buried cities beneath the bright waters. Senater Stewart, while carried away by hig mind in a fine frenzy rolling, managed te get in this truth, as regards the reason that the apportionment matter cannot be settled: "Simply and only a question of the distribution of political power nothing else." The " ultima tums" of his party in the Senate have just that object Yesterdat afternoon's associated press dispatch from Wyoming territory, telling of the progress el the presidential party in the West, was a delioate morsel of news which blended finely with the ele gant inclinations of the pleasure lov ing president. The p"ctic soul of the writer rises adequately te the occa sion when he depicts the scene of the ant lopes, the sage hares and the festive mule rabbits, at first gazing with awe upon the chief magistrate decorating the hard side of a spring wagon sear.aud then furnishing a pleasing oxeitemont te the journey, while ever the plain swooped the wild ShoBhenes aud the fierce Bannocks in all their gaudy paraphernalia, to"weleomo the Great Father' " But the writer of this exquisite sketch did net allow himself te be transported altogether by the fine vision, remembsring enough of the world te observe that " the president rode with the driver during the first Bbage of the 31 miles." This indeed was an honor te the president, which should new and then be conferred upon him by condescending drivers. The presidential pionie is cer tainly a suceass, and the hilarious denizens of the West are te ba congratulated as the furnishers of th.3 entertainment which is delighting the executive soul. The Oriele festival in Baltimore, en September 11, 12 and 13, premises te be unusually magnificent. The arrival of Lord Baltimore en Tuesday night will in troduce a feature hitherto unknown in the history of eleotrieal displays. The royal personage will arrive upon one of the finest and largest steamers, whleh will literally be a blaze of light, it being the plan te place ten of the largest electric lights, in various colors, upon the steamer, in ad dition te enormous focus electric reflectors and ether illuminations in profusion. The Lord Baltimore steamer will be preceded by from forty te sixty tugboats, four abreast, and caeh burning large electric lights. On either side of the harbor it is proposed te station lines of barges, from which fireworks will be incessantly dis charged aB the floating cortege oemeB slowly towards the city. Bombs, rockets, Reman candles and ether descriptions of pyroteehnlo inventions being discharged from either side will form a wondrously beautiful triumphal arch and convert the whole harbor into a fairy seene. It is also proposed te have ten companies of one hundred men each, armed with electric lights, in ten different colors, te aet as escort te his highness en the way te Oity Hall. The succeeding night, Wednesday, will be given up te quiet soeial enjoyment and the festival will close with the grand pageant of the Oriele en Thursday night, The Humes law recently enoeted re quires the investment of all moneys in the sinking fund above the amount te be ap plied te the extinguishment of the state debt in the United States or state bends. At the meeting of the sinking fund com missioners in Harrhiburg, en Wednesday, te take action ou the new law, Secretary of the Commonwealth Stenger offered a resolution te the effeet that the state trea surer be authorized te purchase immediate ly out of the excess in the sinking fund, $1,750,000 of the required bends. The res." lotion was defeated by the two Republican members of the beard, state treasurer Bailey aud Auditor General Lemen, the former taking the ground that such hasty aotieu might embarrass the banks that are the depositories of the public moneys. An amended resolution offered by Bailey, was then adopted, that the money be with drawn from the banks at the rate of $200,' 000 a month, Stenger dissenting. Here the issue is clearly defined. Republiean state offleials sworn te protect the interests of the commonwealth open, ly and unblushingly admit the prier olaimsef their banking friends. What bjets it that in the preference their employer, the state, loses ene hundred thousand dollars or mere in interest ? The Democratic platform declares that "large f jnds should net ba accumulated by taxa tion of the people te be distributed among the favored depositories of state offleials." A Republican treasurer and auditor gen eral deelare that the claims of friends are paramount te these of the state. Turn the rascals out. Te say that we are living in a fast age is te repeat a well worn truism.

In one sense this life giving, pulsing rapidity is cesuuada-bit.- The men of te day are they who de their work quickly and well. Life Is tee short te wait for .the slew and sere. There are some duties, however, apper taining te man's condition in life that de net admit of rapid methods, and chief among these is that of education. Of late years there has been entirely tee much of the spirit abroad that an education must be acquired quickly or net at all, tee much of a tendency te plnck the blossom rather than wait for the ripened fruit. It Is this manifestation of the-irapatienee of the age that causes the curriculum of the average public school, and higher institu tien of learning, te be filled with studies, te knew each of which dearly would re quire the pursuit of a lifetime. The curse of the age is the shallowness of its educa tienal methods. Of what utility is it that a student has a smattering of a dozen or mere soieneeu, and yet is ignorant of the political conditions under whieh he lives ? It is a grave error, approaching the con fines of a crime, te cram the youthful mind with abstract lessens whieh it cannot comprehend within the period assigned. As the digestive organs need time for the conversion of what is taken into the stomach into ebyme and chyle, se the mind requires a period mere or less ex tended, according te the capacity of the subject, te digest ideas newly presented. If mere attention were paid in educational methods te thoroughness, and less te covering a great deal of ground in an in finitesimally short time, there would be fewer shallow brained men and women in the world, laying the flattering unction te their souls that they are learned, while being in reality hopelessly inoempetent te de thoroughly any but the most menial portions of their daily work.

THE TBKBIBLE IUKTLAKD TKAGKDY' Mrs. Cenrad, tvfae Killed Her Uuliutf, la Danger of Becoming Imwm-Mew from n Quarter. The condition of Mrs. Minnie Heward Cenrad, who Tuesday shot and killed her husband, Mr. L. L. Cenrad, a leading member of the Baltimore bar, at the Worthington homestead in Baltimore oeunty, Md , is new such as te give great alarm te all her friends. She seems, in fact, te realize what she has done, and members of the family are of the opinion that she will either take her own life or become hopelessly insane.Her pain remains the same and a olese watch is kept upon her te see that she does herself no barm. The funeral of Mr. Cenrad took place to day from the parish church in Worthing ton Valley, near the Worthington man sion. This tragedy is one of a succession of terrible, deeds that has marked the history of the Worthington families for a number of years past, each traceable te a toueh of insanity never fully realized until the tragedy was esneted. Mr. Cenrad's marrlage te Miss Werth ingten occurred under the happiest aus pices mere than ten years age and was an event of wide interest in Southern society. He was then a very premising young law yer, and the, bride, before her incurable malady began, was, always vivacious and of a loving as well as refined disposition. Mr. Cenrad's father, President Fillmore's secretary of war, was for many years a social here at White 8ulphur springs, and he was known as a fameusjduelisc throughout the Seuth. After the Cenrad-Worthington nuptials at New Orleans the young people spent a happy honeymoon at White Sul phur, and were laughed at for the senti mentality of their devotion te eaeh ether. There has never been the slightest ru mor of a disagreement between them as years have passed, and the wife, though first in Maryland society, has been com pelled te seek the conclusion of an inval id's room. Mr. Cenrad has been attentive, devoted and generous, and the supposition that his death was the result of anything but accident or an insane freak, therefore, gains no foundation.

Harrldbarg Patriot- Senater Stewart yesterday admitted that he suggested te the Republican caucus that it prepare an nltamum. They did se and followed Senater Stewart's advice. What right had either branch of the Legislature te have an altimatum ? There should ba no ultimatums. Legislation means conference. Conference means argument and discussion. Ultimatums admit of neither. Senater Stewart therefore is in the position of putting his party in the Senate in the attitude of a refusal te legislate with the Heusa of Representatives. The Heuse has no ultimatum. It ought te have none. The only ultimatum any honest legislator should have is that the constitu tion shall be obeyed. Senater Stewart says there shall be qp legislation except as a Republican caucus shall determine. This position means anarchy, and it is well the people of Pennsylvania knew te whom they are indebted for such a condition. Senater Stewart carries a heavy lead in the Re publican ultimatum. As a returning prodigal Senater Stewart out-Hereds Hered and like all converts gees te the extreme of partisanship. The cost of his conciliation with Stalwart rule is $3,000 a day. ' What a JCaU DM.
