Berry di'duivd In lii.- in It 1 retM at the
Democratic State Convention tlmt tlie
flrnt ewntial to tlie completion of tlie
reforms inaugurated lty liiiii.-t.:' in tlie
8tate government is that lib miccewMor
iiall be a Democrat, lie didn't speak in
a partUan Home. If the Stale govern
ment hud been ndministeied, dnrim;
recent years, under tlie iuitpice of the
Democmtic purtyj if tlie abuses that
have culminated In t lie colossal miiiii
tiea of the Capitol construction had
been organized and slieltcrcd by the
Democratic party, any movement for
Improvement would necessarily have
to come from the Republicans It is
one of the accepted truths that 110 po
litical party will purify itself. Jt may
embrace men of the highest, character
for probity anil honor. Hut wlieii its
acknowledged leaders abandon them
selves to corruption, there is no possi
ble chance of tlie rank and tile of tlie
party controlling it in tlie interest of
v!rtue.
Mr. lleiry who is a profound student
of atlalrs hail these facts in mind when
he made the significant di el:: ."utitiU
quoted, lie knew that the rolitical
history of this and all other countries
proves this proposition and that his
own recent experience had vindicated
the accuracy ot history. When became
into tlie administration of the State of
Pennsylvania a trille more than a year
ago. all his colleagues in the work were
professing reform. They had been re
uuked by his election and they profess
ed to understand fiid approve the ac
tion of the people. lut they didn't
Join in his plans of reform or aid in his
efforts at improvement. On the con
trary they tried to deceive him i.ito ac
quiescence in their iniquities. If he
had been of their political (alili, hon
est and earnest as he was, they would
have succeeded. Party loyalty, fideli
ty to party leadership uud that subtle
force which appeals to all men, ambi
tion, would have combined to make
him yield and he would have "gone
along."
'No man who lias not had the per
sonal experience can realize the poten
sy of the power of party ol ani.aliou
when it Is brought to beni on u man
who has been favored by it. Tlie ca
reer of former Governor Samuel V.
Pennypacker exemplifies this, lie fore
entering upon that otllce lie had served
twelve years on the bench and was
cnown as a man of the most uncom
promising probity, lie abhorred ail
.brms of iniquity and hated all kinds
if venality. But w hen he was brought
face to face with the monster he de
rested what did lie do? Did J.o spurn '
and denounce it as an Intolerable evil ? ,
Sot by a large majority. He dallied
with it, tried to conceal the truth con
cerning It and finally became accessory
After the fact to every crime commit
ted by Architect Huston and Contrac
tor Sanderson. He lias fallen from his
high estate and it may be doubted if
uy intelligent man in commou wealth,
uonversant with tlie circumstances, j
would believe him under oath today.
JUNORITY KhTIi F.SKNTATION THK POINT
What Mr. lierry really meant, there- I
fore, was that in order to complete the
reforms which have been begun the
noijority party in the Stale must be '
represented in the administration of j
the government Like tlie Federal
government, the government of Penn
sylvania is divided Into three co-ordinate
branches, executive, legislative
and judicial. There is a mistaken no
tion in the popular mind that the Gov
nw,i lu TO V....I I i Itn 1 t ....... I
fliat is far from the fact. The Execu
tive Department consists of the Gover
nor, Auditor General, State Treasurer,
.Secretary of Internal Afl'uire and what
we commonly called the Cabinet oftle
ls. The Governor Is responsible for
tie actions of those he app inls to of

by the people. Moreover, the Execu
tive Department Is administered main
ly by boards. For example the Audi
tor General and State Treasurer are
members of tlie four most Important
boards and have equal voice with the
Governor on each of them. These are
the Hoards of Kevenue (!ommlssioners,
! Sinking Fund Commissioners, l'ublic
j (Irounds and Huildii,s and l'ublic Ac
j counts. While the majority of those
boards determine their actions, the lni
( nority, if tliere Is a minority, serves as
a check against excesses of all kinds.
The majority will not indulge in prof
ligacy or other Iniipiity If the minority
i is ready to expose such acts to public
execrution. If Mr. Kerry had not de
nounced the Capitol graft it would still
be in progress and the people Ignorant
of crimes against them. Hecauseof this
lie believes the elect ion of a Democrat
to succeed him essential to complete
reform.
: Tlie Democratic Stale convention lit
erally fulfilled the condition which Mr,
Berry regards us essential, lion. John
G. Harman whom it nominated for
State Treasurer is a Democrat who rep
resents the tiest traditions of the party.
More than that he is an able, aggress
ive and active reformer. A lawyer of
the highest standard, a citizen of tlie
best type, he will take Into the oflice
not only an abhorrence ofvennlity, but
tlie courage and ability to assail it.
During the session of tlie Legislature
of l!!05 lie denounced the iniquities of
the Republican machine in most scath
ing terms. He was almost prophetic,
moreover, in Ids arraignment. After
mniiii'uri.iug the vicious legislation tor
which that organization was responsi
ble, he predicted an awakening of the
public conscience uud the scourging of
the machine. Within two months the
prediction was fulfilled. Tlie activities
of tlie conspirators were transferred
from JIarrisburg to Plii'adelphia and
the attempt tliere to steal the gas works
and bestow that rich inheritance of tlie
people upon the favorites of the ma
chine was resented with an earnestness
anil emphasis which shook the State
from center to circumference. More
than any other Influence Mr. Hartnan's
8,-eech aroused the public. More than
any other man he was responsible for
tlie peaceful revolution which rescued
the State from the pirates who were
looting the public, It is eminently fit
that lie should have been chosen to
complete the triumph of civil right
eousness so well begun by Mr. Herry.
HKKKY KKSI'ONSIHI.K FOR IXVKSTIGA
TION. No sane man Imagines that in the
event of the election of Mr. Sheutz
there would be even a pretense of pur
suing the looters to punishment It is
true that since tlie Inauguration of
Governor Stuart, something like an
earnest investigation has been in pro
gress. But thut fact is not attributed
to any improvement in tlie ixilitical
morals of the machine managers. It is
dueabsolutely to the presence of Wil
liam H. Berry In the Important boards
above referred to. Take him out and
the State administration will drop back
Into the old methods and evil practices
as certainly and speedily as the munic
ipal administration in Philadelphia
went hack after the election of Mayor
Iteyburn. It can't be said that Sheatz
Is a better man morally or a stronger
man mentally than Iteyburn. Why
as far hack as the Centennial year Mr.
Iteyburn, while serving as a Represen
tative in the Legislature, refused to ac
cept passes on tlie railroads, though all
of his colleagues were glad to get them.
Lven since he has followed the tame
strict lines in his personal and political
altalrs. it In obedience to the exi
gencies of machine politics he has be
trayed every moral and material inter
est of the people and restored the gang
to all its power.
Will any man who knows Mr. Shcatz
gravely assert that anything different
is to be expected from him ? Does any
intelligent observer of his actions in
the Legislature Imagine that if he had
b en In Mr. Berry's place a year ago
tliere would have been uny examine of
the vast frauds which Pave been per
petrated. Absolutely and assuredly
no. He would have done precisely as
l'ennypacker uud Dr. Snyder did.
That Is he would have concealed the
facts before the election in the interest
of party success and afterward in be
half of party honor. In no event,
however, would he have either de.
n hi i iced the corruption of the past or
tried to prevent it for the future. In
his reci nt testimony Governor l'euiiy
paiker said that on learning of tlx
frauds he tried to stop them by coiui
t 'i niaiuliug the order, for all work not
already begun. But thut was a false
statement for tlie records show that be
was informed of tlie frauds in Decern. J
her, l!K).j. Just after the election of Ber
ry, at'd between that time and the fol
lowing May when Berry was Installed
in tlie office the Board of Public Build
ing ami Grounds approved palpably
fraudulent bills amounting to nearly
four millions of dollars.
There is a proverb that "you can't
make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
It Is etpially certain that a corrupt
pnrty machine will not purify itself.
Therefore Mr. Berry is correct In his
belief that the election of a Democrat
to secceed him in tlie office of State
Treasurer Is eseiitial to complete re
form.

Mont Tenderer and Cleaver.
With the aid of an Implement de
vised by a New Jersey man It now
becomes possible for the batcher to
chop the meat and at the same time
add to ItH tenderness by pounding
with a combined cleaver and moat
tenderer. The cleaver, as shown In
the Illustration below, Is similar to
those commonly used. On one cor
ner, opposite to the blade, a series
of teeth are arranged at an angle.
These teeth are used in tendering
MEAT TENDERER AND CLEAVER
the meat. The advantage of placing
the teeth at an angle will be obvious.
If they were placed parallel with
the upper edge of the cleaver It
would be Impossible to manuipulato
the tendered without knocking the
hand on the tabic. By placing the
teeth at an angle the handle hi re
moved from the table when either
the blade or teoth are being used,
preventing Injury to the hand.
Rivals In T4ogravnre.
We have scarcely recovered from
the surprise of one invention' for
transmitting portraits and writing
by telegraph before there is a rival
in the field. The inventor is a Bel
gian of Antwerp, named De Groote,
who claims for his instruments that
it works much more rapidly than
that invented by Professor Kunen.
The characteristic feature of tho new
apparatus is that it produces at the
receiver an ordinary metallic "block"
which can be sent direct to the Prets.
A drawing eight Inches square can
be "telegraphed" on to this block in
one minute.
Tlie Origin ot Livery.
The wearing of livery by male
servants Is a survival of the times
when great lords kept huge bands of
men servants, called retainers, who
were bound to fight in all the quar
rels of their "masters as well as per
form Rervlce of one Bort or another,
and on special occasions of show,
dressed in the livery of their lord,
became in reality a mlnature army.

Nostril Kxpnnder Insures Supply of
Air to tho Lungs.
It la known that with many peo
ple the tendency while breathing is
for the nostrils to collapse more or
less, or, at least, become somewhat
restricted so as to Interfere with
breathing. This Is particularly true
with persons engaged in athelotlo
sport Buch ns running, racing or
any effort which requires a large
supply of air to the lungs. In such
exercises the tendency is to open the
mouth, thus admitting Impurities
ASSISTS PROPER BREATHING,
and also causing the mouth to dry
Quickly. The habit of snoring lu
caused largely by this constriction of
the nostrils, or at least If the noa
trlls are kept expended the snoring
ceases. To obviate these difficulties
is the purpose of the nostril expander
shown In the Illustration, the inven
tion of a New" York man. It can be
easily applied to the nose and can
be worn without discomfort. It
enters the nostrils and prevents them
from closing, thus permitting a free
air current. It is a great help In
breathing.
Quality of Horsehair.
The raw horsehair used in tho
manufacture of haircloth for uphol
stering purposes is Just now hti;h
priced in this country because of the
situation which during and since tho
Russo-Japanese war has prevailed
in Russia, whence most of the hair
comes. The beBt of such cloth must
have a certain width of weave, which
depends upon the length of tho hairs,
and In this respect the Russian
horses are superior, having tallu
which sweep the ground. Much of
the weaving is done in this country.
For the narrower weaves of tho
cloth, used by tailors in lining coats,
the hair from American horses ou
tho Western plains is used.
The Bride's Dower Chest.
Every bride of the present day has
a dower chest. It is better that this
oak chest, firmly bound, shonld have
come down to her from other gener
ations, but if there is no touch chest
In tho family she must start one
herself. The chest has in It the linen
and other things her family have
given the bride and at the top is
placed her mother's gift a piece of
family Jewelry or other precious
thing. .
