While appreciating these very flat tering references to himself. Senator Penrose has announced that he is not an aspirant for the party leadership in coming canvass and that he will bo entirely satisfied to work for the renomination and the re-election of President McKinley in the ranks of the Republican organization. The close personal relations which exist between the president and Senator Penrose have been frequently commented upon by correspondents of newspapers out- : side of the borders of Pennsylvania. Senator Penrose, it will be recalled, was the first of the party leaders in , the state to publicly declare in favor of Major McKinley's nomination for president, and throughout his admlnis- ■ tration there have been few more wel- ] come visitors at the White House. It j is pleasing to the friends of the bril liant young Pennsylvania senator that his strong personality and his many ' admirable qualities should be recog- ' nized by leading Republicans of the < country, and especially by the presi dent. The suggestion of Senator Penrose, among others, for the national chair manship was prompted by the report that Senator Hanna wished to be re lieved of the executive work of the coming campaign, though he would be of course deeply interested in the suc cess of the canvass. It is not improb able that Senator Hanna will again be induced to lead the fight for President McKinley, and if he does it is safe to predict that he will leave nothing un done to get out the Republican vote in everv state n the union. THE FOX AND THE EDITOR. These insurgents make a great ado in Wanamaker newspapers, but when it comes to getting the votes of the peo ple they cut a small figure. Apropos of these full page advertise ments in certain Philadelphia news papers and the similarity of the po litical reports in their news columns, this story of the "Fox and the Editor" made interesting reading in the Even ing Call: An editor sat at his desk with compressed lips, flashing eyes, all the while dipping his pen in gall. A fox perching himself on the window sill thus began: "You are working yourself into a frenzy these days over politics. What is up?" "What is up!" exclaimed the editor. Everything is up. Reform, everything to destroy the Repub lican organization, and cash — plenty of it, too." "I thought you editors worked only for the good of the people," replied the fox. "So we do!" shouted the editor, "when the good of the people is our good." Oh, I see," said the fox, with a merry twinkle in his eye: "your selves first —the people last." "Of course, of course," rejoined the editor, with a lordly flourish of his pen. "Business is business. I work for cash, whether for re form or any other old thing. Go in for what pays, is my motto. And so long as the people are not onto my game It works like a charm." "And that is the reason just now," continued the fox, "why you are writing with might and main to wreck the Republican or ganization. It pays." "Now you've lilt it square," re plied the editor, with an approv ing smile. "Do you suppose I am foolish enough to write anything my leading advertisers would not approve? If you think so, go chase yourself. Mr. Fox." "But, persisted the fox, "you claim to be a Republican?" "So I am, or was, or expect to be, but 1 never lose sight of my cash drawer. Money makes the mare go in this business as well as in every other," replied the editor. "You see 1 am very frank with you." "Yes, more frank with me than with your readers," said the fox, with a malicious smile. "My readers cannot object to re form in politico," replied the editor with a sarcastic grin. "Under the guise of reform I can help lick the Republican organization, put cash in my drawer and be a political leader myself. It's a great game I am playing—talis I win and heads the people lose. See?" "But you won't win," replied the fox." "Why not?" "Because the people are already onto your game," laughed the fox. "You remind me of my own expe rience last night. I was sitting by a hencoop praying, with one eyeopen on a fat hen insde. The farmer came upon me. 'What are you do ing here?'.he asked. 'lt's strange, said I, 'that a fellow can't Bpend a few moments In silent prayer with out being disturbed.' But the far mer, quick as a flash, shied a club at me and locked the door of the coop.'' The editor lifted his inkstand with a sudden movement, but ths fox was nowhere to be seen. i Berniie Fohoes.
