EDITORIAL HENTION.
Aggie lias taken (lie oath, but it
is best to keep an eye on him.
Just fancy the feelings of the
regulars, who so scorned Fiinston's
expedition that not a single one
would join him.
The Chicago school girls who
have the mumps can at least con
sole themselves with the reflection
that they are dead swell.
General Wlieaton, the troops tin
der whose command captured Ag
uinaldo, owe all the credit to Fun
ston. Result: both were promoted.
If Mr. Cleveland would ask it,
possibly Great Britian might be
willing to arbitrate that little diffi
culty between Venezuela and Uncle
Sam.
The first of April has come and
passed,and Havana has not a single
case of yellow fever. Such a con
dition never existed before in all
history.
Secretary Wilson is getting ready
to send millions of young trees all
over the country this year. The
Secretary thinks that the country
needs woods and he stands ready to
furnish trees in assorted packets.
It is of course, impossible to pre
vent occasional rogues from getting
into every business under the sun,
and it is therefore not surprising
that a scandal should develope at
Manila. The real wonder is that
there has been so little there.
One Lentz of < >hio. who has been
retired from Congress, to the great
benefit of that body, has again won
totoriety by denouncing the capture
of Aguiualdo. By the way, Lentz
is said to resemble Aggie.
According to Britian, Japan is
going around with a big chip on
her shoulder. But then, there has
been a good many things lately
"according to Britian" that weren't
according to facts.
We suppose the British have re
alized tin* real danger that is con
fronting them in South Africa, and
are making preparations to meet it.
When the bubonic plague spreads
a little further, getting into the
tribes in the interior, it is almost
certain to drive them mad with
terror. Then the whites will have
to look out.
Col. Bryan seems to forget alto
gether that the people of these
United States have twice elected
Mr. Cleveland, and twice elected
Mr. McKinley to the highest office
in their gift, and have twice refus
ed to elect Mr. Bryan to that same
ollice. Really, considering these
facts, a little respect towards at
least one of .these gentlemen might
not be out of place.
It is unfortunate that the surplus
in the Treasury should be piling
up so rapidly with no available
means for reducing it. There will
in consequence, be some talk about
alleged insufficient reduction of
revenues. But, it must be remem
bered that, had not the River and
Harbor bill unexpectedly failed at
the last moment, the surplus for
the year would have been about
ten millions.
Insurgents and the Ballot Bill.
It is the advice of The Inquiror to the
Republilan members of the Pennsylva
nia Legislature to pay no attention
whatever to Senator Flinn and his In
surgents and their allies among the
Guffey Democrats regarding ballot re
form. It would make no difference
whatever what kind of a bill was re
ported from committee. The allied
opposition to the Republican majority
would tlnd fault with it in any event,
says Philadelphia Inquirer.
A reform measure must be passed,
and it is the intention of the majority
to adopt one. The committee has been
very fair. It has taken the bill drawn
by Mr. Guffey himself and hasreported
it to the Senate with only two or three
changes. The safeguards that Colonel
Guffey threw around the ballot are re
tained. It is a voluminous document,
and it eliminates the blanket sheet and
gives us a of names. It
is generally conceded that the single
column is desirable, and that the can
didates should be grouped by the Au
stralian method under the titles of the
offices, but the Guffey measure makes
no provisiou for voting a full ticket
with a single stroke of the pencil,while
the measure as amended in committee
incorporates tho circle.
This is the main bone of contention.
There is no doubt that the circle very
much simplifies the voting. Pennsyl
vanians have been in the habit of plac
ing a cross within the circle and voting
the straight ticket or rejecting the cir
cle and placing crosses against the
names of candidates for whom they
wish to vote. To vote independently,
they have had to roam all over an im
mense ballot sheet, but under tho new
act it will be much oasier for those in
dependently inclined to follow down
the list of names contained in a single
column. Under the title of "Governor"
they can cross the candididate desired.
Under the title of "Lieutenant Gover
nor" they can make their choice the
same way, and so on. But it is argued
that while there may be thousands of
independent voters who wish to scratch
their ticket and who will bo given every
opportunity to do so, there are scores
of thousands of regular voters who
would consider it a hardship to be
obliged to put a cross against every
name. For this reason the committee
has adopted the circle in justice to the
regular. There is nothing partisan
about it, for a circle will be given each
individual party.
We think the people, as a whole, will
understand the matter, consequently
it is not worth while bothering with
the Flinnites. The more time the In
surgent are allowed to stir up ill feel
ings, tho more they enjoy themselves.
It is useless to argue with them, Let
them go their own way.
Letter to Wm. McGee.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: It takes 3000 gallous of
paint for the two big hotels at Coney
Island—Manhattan and Oriental. They
are painted once in three years with
Devoe lead and zinc.
Why so often? Three reasons: (1)
sea air cuts paint; (2) sand in the wind
cuts paint; (3) hotels, especially pleas
ure hotels, want freshness and color as
much as protection. Once in three
years is often enough and not too often
to paint a hotel on a windy sand beach.
How long do you think lead and oil
would last there ? One year. Is there
anything for you in this?
Yours truly,
29 F. W DEVOE & Co.
