Niagara Falls, one of nature's most won.iertui ana majestic sights, never fails in interest, however often visited the visitor alwavs observing new and interesting sights not noticed before For the season of 1900 the Fhila deluhia and Readimr Railway has ar ranged a series of Ten Day Excursions at the popular price of Ten Dollars for the round trip, giving the excursion ists the privilege on the return trip of a stop off at Buffalo, Rochester Junction (for Rochester), Geneva Lurdette (tor Watkin's Glen) and at Mauch Chunk. The dates for these excursions have been arranged as follows : June 30th, July 12th, August 2nd and iCth, Sep tember 1st and 13th and October 6th. The special train of Pullman Parlor cars and fine day coaches leaves Reading Terminal 8:30 a. m., arriving at Allentown 10:15 a. m., where pas sengers can connect from Reading, stations on main line above Reading, and on Lebanon Valley and East Fenn Branches, and passing by day light through the picturesque Lehigh and Wyoming Valleys, aptly styled "The Switzerland of America," reaches Niagara Falls the same evening. The grand panorama, as viewed from the car windows, of fertile farm ing lands and magnificent mountain scenery, interspered here and there with hamlets, running streams and placid lakes and ponds is of itself well worth the cost of the entire trip, and Niagara Falls who ever attempted to describe them and could give an anyway near adequate description of their many wonders and beauties ?

Floating with a Wolf i Grim KipitHmhh of n Westerner on it WELL, sir, this thing of siiilin-,' on nn ice rnft does not con form to the reiiuii Tini'iits of the Sunday-school picnic. 1'isinal ns the lat ter tuny l.c mid pern-rally is. it is orien tal luxuriance compared to the former, specinllv il the highway Deinir trav ersed iupcns to lie the Missouri river v hen it feels 'pert. 1 he speaker was western num. It was in the early 'Srt's. Yon re member the winter 1 bad that tiling en in Kansas City?" he resumed. Whew, w hat a winter that was! Ther mometer ilown below zero for six weeks, wind how ling n blizzard all day nnd resting tip at night for the next dav. Know three feet deep i.nd frozen solid so that wagon wheels played harmonies all the time, n mail's breath adding to the accumulations of snow and ice and " Oil. come. Charlie." broke in the sufferer, "draw it mild, like Suiroy Camp liked it." "Well, you know it was a fearful win ter as well as 1. What's the matter? You visited me nnd nearly froze to death. Couldn't keep warm, although I burned up n ton of coal 11 week. Well, you know, I'm something of a hunter. I had plenty of idle time and used to wrap up well and take my Parker out across into Kansas, where chicken nnd duck were plenty. 1 had some fine sport sniping, too, along the big river and the slough. There are too many hills 1 thereabouts for good sloughing. though. "It was nlong in March. You know the idea that the weather out there is j better than here won't hold water, for j the water would freeze in winter. The season outlasts ours sometimes, too. It did this particular winter, for they had snow in the middle of April. Fact. I pot out my gun one day when it was a bit mild and went over the road to a few miles up river from Quindaro. You know this once famous town is now the reservoir fcr the waterworks. Well, I sniped along the bank in the reeds nnd was knocking over quite a few, when I saw 1 had better start back down river if I wanted to get home, before dark. I had had good sport, but ached for more. It was a grand day cold, to be sure, but bracing. "At last I spied some duck sitting on the wnter the river rarely freezes nil the way over just beyond the rim of ice which fringed the shore. At this point the river sweeps wide to the north nnd then cuts into the hills on the south side, forming a narrow- gorge near the waterworks. There is n bend which the current strikes and it had piled up a lot of ice in hummocks as it ground against the shore ledge. These hummocks helped me n heap, for I could sneak out on the. shore ice nnd get a chance at the cluck. I forgot all about the time, for I was shy a good fat redhead nnd wanted him. "Well, sir, 1 went out on that shore ledge it was shoal water there nnd heaved chunks of ice at those ducks to get 'em up, you know, for no hunter shoots at wnter fowl when swimming. They balked like Sam Ilill and I crept out further and farther, still heaving things at 'em. At last they rose nnd I was busy shooting right and left a fast as I could loud. Then when we got out of range I found I had nary n duck, was out 01 cartridges and no dog to bring in the fiend. I killed a lot, but they fi 11 in the water or, what was worse, on the bank. "Yes. sir, that's a fact. I turned back to go to the shore nnd discovered that I was on nn ice raft well out in the current. It was whirlingaround in the eddying stream like n top, and by the time I had seen the waterworks half a dozen times and lost 'em us often I declare I didn't know if I was at Quini!ro or in the Alps. Say, mnybe you think 1 liked it. I didn't. That river is a hard proposition anywhere. It is harder in what they call it throat gorge one of these narrowings of the banks than uny where else. I was in one of these gorges and working dow n stream ns fast as the field ice would let me. "An I said, the crushing of the floe ngalnst t lint angle in t lie bank had piled up n lot of bergs higher than my head. What made uie swear nt myself for a fool was that I had forgotten to calculate the rottenness of ice at that season. I went out on the edge, nnd, as the dumned stream was rising any way, I had slipped the moorings of my raft. So while I wns busy shooting the confounded thing wns traveling due north, which there mount out into the current. There I was out in the middle of the busiest river on the globe with nothing but some rotten ice be tween me mid an undertow warranted to pull under 11 warship. ,i'h. itwas lovely. But I wns up a gainst it. so there was no use cussing. "Just nt thin point the river luakes a 'crossing.' That in, the current hits one bank a good wnllop nnd then butts across to the other sidV In spite of the rnnin body of wnter. This imports to the wliole tin iness 11 tneasley upsin-uri idea at certain spots. We got into this whirlpool 1 forgot to metitiin Mr. Wol. who wns on that block with mi and then we backed awny from s'.de to side, ns if we were dancing a ftindi ille. 1 saw the waterworks a few times, then 1 didn't. Then it began to get dark. Then Mr. Wolf com menced to sing his sv. nn si ng and I wanted to go home right off. "You sec, they have gray wolves out there. Now, it, happened that a mem ber of this tribe usually nfraid of n man had marched out on the ice to take n quiet tirink. lie was busy lap ping up the blue wnter. Oh, yes, it's blue in winter if it floes look like pea soup in Hummer "hen I split out our raft. 1 say ours, for the wolf held his end of the game to the showdown I when it wns a draw. Then he could ! have had the premises without n fight j from me. I "We backed nnd filled there until ! the moon came up. I had been too busy to think of the possibility of any nnimnl being there, when the wolf. sitting where it wns thick enough to stand his yowl, lifted his beak to the heavens nnd rut loose with a groan which rcmiiiiied me of the whistle of n tug in idstrcss. 1 was shocked nnd turned about, to see wlint Ihis nil meant. There was Mr. Wolf sitting on his haunches and singiug a dolorous measure. Then I remembered that the farmers iu that region loved not the wolf, so I wished him to cease from murmuring. They might turn loose a few Catlings on us and. the w,olf would have none the best of it. I heaved a few loose blocks of ice at him nnd he quit howling nnd growluH, crouching ns if to spring, "Here's a funny tiling. That chunk of ice was some 50 feet wide, nnd as many broad when we started naviga tion. Then ns we butted into a piece of shoal water or another berg a biff chunk would come nway and the raft commenced to grow beautifully less. This made it interesting. You knowr the American wolf is n coward when he has a few thousands of miles to race over, but in close quarters he will fight. I knew it. nt nny rate, for when I tossed chunks at him he quit warbling, showed his teeth nnd crouched for a Bpring. "I saw by tiie time we had' .been out there half a dozen hours that the raft was too small for both of us. I wanted nil the room myself and decided the wolf would have to go. I am not much of a swimmer myself and it was cold, so I tried to Fhoo off that wolf. He w ouldn't shoo worth a cent. We were out in the middle of the river by this nnd making good progress toward Kan sas Lity. l hunk after chunk wns whirling from our raft nnd it soon be came a matter of crouching on opposite sides of a hummock In the middle. The wolf crouch-d in closer nnd closer nnd whined like a dog. But he showed tight when 1 bothered him. "The moon came up and silvered our raft. It also showed where the dark, sullen nnd furious wnter rnged. It was a thoughtful time. 1 hnd missed din ner by tt dozen miles, was out on the bosom of the Missouri with one lone wolf of uncertain parentage nniT un discovered hnbits. I had no cartridges with which to shoot him and he re sented nny familiarity. I remember that, having used threats, I resorted to the 'cou' game, but that wolf was a wise boy; he paid 110 heed to my efforts to make friends. He howled when not molested, as he evidently had no purjnse of swimming for it. Neither had I, but ns our limits nar rowed with every swirl of a tide that does nothing else it soon became a question of wiio would win nt this kind 0I postponed game. "Awny to the south, high in the heavens. I could see a line of lights declining visibly. I took them for stars, but ltiter concluded they were the lights on Bluff street. Would we sweep by the big city or would we hit a sandbar, plenty of which lurked near by? It wns a question. I mail' up my mind I must get rid of that wolf, so 1 sneaked around the kopje and hoist ed my shotgun to smite him. Then commenced the most lurid scrap I ever mixed with. "I swung with the gun; he ducked nnd clawed me in the ribs. 1 rushed, he side-stepped and- swung for my jaw, but 1 went under. Then we spurred around that ice hill. He kept it between me und harm until nil nt once with a yowl he charged. He smote me "in the side and one leg went into SO feet of water, but I was up before he could count ten. Then I closed' in T had to, for I broke off another chunk with that rush and handed him an awful punch. 1 thought he was out, but he came up before the count and ducked as I went for him. "tine must out this time or it was a draw, for but eight feet of space was left. I didn't measure it excepting with my eyes, but. I'll swear to it. I led the left I'd lost the gun und he blocked, countering1 with his right. 1 went under and caught him an awful uppercnt under the chin with my right. He liked it; absolutely likeif it, for it never bothered him. lie crouched low and led right nnd left swift us light ning. I gave ground und backed clear off the ice usii hit that sandbar. "1 struck 011 to swim for shore, al though 1 didn't know where that was. I puddled vigorously for awhile with my feet high in the air 'sternw heel ing,' we used' to cull it us boys when my fingers dug into suud. Say, I never felt anything which equaled that. 1 hauled myself in gingerly and found that for tive minutes I had been swim ming in six inches of water. Then ns I hended for dryer land that wolf took a header over me as he started for tull grass. I swung und' fell over from the force of my punch." Chicago Chronicle, I'ovcrly a Crime.

There Is not nn opinion In favor of the principle that the United States enn possess colonies, vassals or ter ritory not to become mates in the Union. McKinley himself was of that oplnlnon until he changed his mind and forced congress to take the great step towards the destruction of a peo ple's government, the obliteration of popular sovereignty and the creation of nn Independent, personal empire. Here are the truths expressed by all of our statesmen, beginning with Mark Hanna. A close study of them will re veal the fact that McKinley and the Republican leaders are departing from thqse truths and violating their own convictions. Murk llnnmi, "The destiny that has been written for this country must be fulfilled." Mark Hanna at the Ohio Republican state convention In May, 1900. AVIHinm MrKlnlry. "I speak not of forcible annexation, for that cannot be thought of. That by our code of morality would be crim inal aggression. "Human rights and constitutional privileges must not be forgotten in the race for wealth and commercial su premacy. The government of the peo ple must be by the people and not by a few of the people. It must rest upon the free consent of the governed and all of the governed. Power, it must be remembered, which is secured by op pression or usurpation or by any form of injustice, is soon dethroned. We have no right in law or morals to usurp that which belongs to another, whether property or power." Dan let Wrhatrr. "Arbitrary governments may have territories and distant possessions, be cause arbitrary governments may rule them by different laws and different systems. We can do no such thing. They must be of us, part of us, or else strangers. I think I see a course adopt ed which is likely to turn the constitu tion of the land into a deformed mon ster, into a curse rather than a bless ing; in fact, a frame of an unoqual government not founded on popular representation, not founded on equal ity; aud I think that this process will go on, or that there is danger that it will go on, until this Union shall fall to pieces. I resist it today and always. Whoever falters or whoever falls. I continue the contest." Daniel Web ster in United States senate, March 23, 1848. WHIInm II. Sewnril. "It Is a remarkable feature of the constitution of the United States that its framers never contemplated colo nies, or provinces, or territories at all. On the other hand, they contemplated states only, nothing less than states, perfect states, equal states, as they are called here, sovereign states. There is reason there is sound politi cal wisdom in this provision of the constitution excluding colonies which are always subject to oppression and excluding provinces which always tend to corrupt and ultimately to break down the parent state. "By the constitution of the United States there are no subjects. Every citizen of any state is a free and equal citizen of the United States. Again, by the constitution of the United States there are no permanent prov inces or dependencies. Jntnen Matllaon. "The object of the federal constitu tion Is to secure the union of the 13 primitive states, which we know to be practicable; and to add to them such other states as may' rise In their own bosoms, or in their neighborhood, which we cannot doubt will be prac ticable." Federalist, No. 14. V. S. Supreme Court. "The genius and character of our institutions are peaceful, and the pow er to declare war was not conferred upon congress for the purpose of ag gression or aggrandizement, but to en nble the government to vindicate by arms, if it should become necessary, its own rights and the rights of its citizens. A war, therefore, declared by congress can never be presumed to be waged for the purpose of conquest or the acquisition of territory; nor does the law declaring the war Imply an authority to the president to en large the limits of the United States by subjugating the enemy's country." Fleming vs. Page. Mlnt'lilcTon ninntlpra. It Is unfortunate that Secretary Root's legal adviser, Mr. Magoon, found it necessary to give two contra dictory opinions on the status of Porto Rico, one holding that the constitution was extended to that island when the peace convention was ratified and the other insisting that Porto Rico is not a part of the United States. Vacilla tion of that sort will be made the most of by opponents of the administration and already It Is being said by them that the second opinion was prodnced under pressure exerted by the trusts whose Interests are to be promoted by a tariff on Porto Kican products. Supposing the first opinion to be sound and correct, the president told congress that "our plain duty Is to abolish njl customs tariffs between the United States and Porto Rico and give her products free access to our mar kets." Relying upon the superior le gal soundness of the second opinion some of the party leaders Insist that Porto Rico should be treated like a foreign country and a tariff be placed upon ner products. If the second opinion be correct, it is a great pity that Law Officer Magoon made such a mistake in the first. He should have made sure he was right before going ahead. His blunder is bringing much trouble to the party and making it diflicult to controvert those who allege that the Influence of the trusts is too potent in shaping the policy or tne administration. The Re publican party has enough to do fight ing Its avowed enemies without having to fight the consequences of blunders made by maladroit statesmen in its own ranks.
