There \H an explanation in the air as to why Chief Engineer John F. Stevens quit the canal work HO suddenly. It is a partial explana tion at any rate, and has to do be tween him and the Preident. It looks to the outsider like a case of cranial enlargement. Mr. Stevens is a good engineer, few better. But it is known that he is very sensative to criticism, newspaper or otherwiss. He has got plenty of criticism since he has been on the Isthmus, some of it perhaps warranted and much of it unjust. However that may have been, it nettled him and he complained to the President. The President patted him on the back as it were and told him togo ahead, that he was just the man and the only man for the work. Now that was just a polite figure speech. No man is absolutely essential to any under taking and the President knows it if Mr. Stevens does not. But the encouragement led him to make more demands for encouragement and moral support and then eame the threat of resigning, made not with the idea that it would be ac cepted, but in the thought that the administration would have a chill at the idea of losing his valuable services. Just what sort of a chill it threw into the Aministration may be judged by the celerity with which Mr. Stevens was allowed to translate his threat into words. It was annoying and the President did not like his quitting so uncere moniously. But now he has quit and is out, and the work of the canal is going on without a ripple on the surface. There is a moral in this. Let no man assume that he is the whole shooting match. Representative Burkett, of Ne braska has hurled another inquiry resolution at the Interstate Com merce Commission. It demands to know whether the express compan ies are doing a commission busi ness in defiance of the law, whether there is Cough Cures were like Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure is—and has been for 20 years.

And it is not only safe, but it is said to by those that know it best, a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance,particularly with your child ren. Insist on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.

SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE Provided for in Bill Introduced by Mc Cord of Chester, Supposedly in the Interest of John P. Elkin for United I States Senate. Harrisburg, Pa. —"Parmer" William T. Creasy and his Democratic asso ciates in (lie legislature are plotting trouble for the Republicans. Inci dentally they are making a lot of trouble for the corporations. The lat est creation from the Democratic mind is an anti-trust bill. Creasy says It is a real thing trust buster. The man from Columbia declares that it contains many of the most im portant provisions of Ohio law un der which successful prosecutions have been brought against the Stand ard Oil Co. and other corporations in the Buckeye state. The Creasy bill prohibits a combina tion of capital, skill or acts by two or more persons, firms or partner ships for the purpose of restricting trade or preventing competition in manufacture or sale of merchandise. The attorney general or district at torney is directed to institute suits or quo warranto proceedings against the offending corporation. At the same time the attorney general is to begin proceedings in the Dauphin county court to compel a forfeiture of the corporation's charter or franchise and for its dissolution. For violation of this act the officers and employes are punishable by a fine of SSOO to SIO,OOO and imprison ment of six months to a year. Each violation is to be a separate offense. That ought to hold them a while. Carries Heavy Penalties. The Creasy bill makes it unlawful for any person or corporation to issue or own trust certificates or to enter into any agreement to place the man agement or control of a combination or a manufactured product in the hands of any trustee with the intent to limit or fix the price or lessen the production or sale. For violation of this provision there is a fine of not less than SIOO nor more than $5,000. Anyone who shall be injured in his business or property through others violating the law may recover dam ages to the amount of twice the loss and costs of the suit. Creasy says he is going after the corrupt practices law with a big club. He does not like the way it works at an election, and he is going to intro duce an amendment to cut out the clause in the schedule of expenses which permits a candidate to pay for the transportation of voters. "A candidate who wants to buy a voter," said Mr. Creasy, "gives the money to a henchman and tells him to transport the voter to the polls. It simply legalizes the bribery of voters. The bribery expense is charged up to 'transportation.' I am preparing an amendment eliminating that par ticular clause. I suppose that after I offer it some Republican will pre sent a similar bill and mine will be choked to death in committee. Then the Republicans will claim credit for it." Something Behind This Bill. Notwithstanding Mr. Creasy's caus tic comment more reform legisla tion has been introduced this session of the legislature than ever before, and the greater part of it has been put In by Republicans. Ira D. Mc- Cord, Republican, of Chester, has pre sented a bill to allow the people by popular vote to express their prefer ence of candidates for the United States senatorship. It happens that McCord comes from T. Larry Eyre's baliwick, and it is generally supposed that he would not introduce anything that would be opposed to Eyre's in- I terest. As Eyre is a close political and personal friend of Justice John P. Elkin of the state supreme court, there are those here who think they can see some strong opposition loom ing up against United States Senator Boies Penrose two years hence. A fat new job is to be created for each county in the state having a population of 50,000 to 150,000 inhabi tants, if a bill introduced by Frank Craven of Washington goes through. It provides for the election of a county controller to be voted for by the people at the November general election. The controller is to take the place of the auditor. Pay Based on Population. The Craven bill provides that no federal officeholder shall be eligible for the place during his term nor for one year thereafter, and that no county commissioner, county treasur er, prothonotary, register of wills, clerk of court, recorder of deeds, sheriff or district attorney or their chief clerks or deputies shall be eligi ble to the controilership during their terms or for two years thereafter. The controller is to give bond in the Bum of $20,000. The controller is to 1 have general supervision of the fis cal affairs ol* the county and to make nn annual report to be printed in such newspapers as he may select. The county controllers are to be paid sal aries in aceor.lance with the popula tion oT the counties as follows: From ■ 125,000 to 150.000, $3,000: from 100,- 000 to 12.",1 MI. $2, .100. From there the pay is graded down to SI,OOO for counties having from 50,000 to 00,000 population. What a sad, sad picture was that painted by the railroad officials for the benefil of the railroad committee when the two-cent fare bill was dis cussed at an open meeting of the committee. If J. B. Thayer, fourth vice president of the Pennsylvania was telling the truth when he told the committee what he did the only thing left for the legislature to do if it passes the two-cent fare bill, is to make an appropriation to the rail road companes in order that they ma; cointinue in business. And it maj also be necessary to make anothe, appropriation to keep the officials out of the pool house. Sad State of Affairs. Mr. Thayer informed the commit tee of the senate that the passage of the bill would mean that the num ber of trains would be reduced. Fast trains would be taken off. Suburban passenger rates, now much less than two cents a. mile, would be forced up. Preachers will not be allowed to travel for half fare. Freight rates will be advanced. And some railroads will have to quit business altogether. Someone might rise to inquire just here why it was that the railroad companies issued suburban commuta tion rates in the first place if it was not for the purpose of taking busi ness away from traction companies. And if this is the case is it not true that ti?e railroad companies will con tinue their suburban business during these distressing times? Somebody is likely to tire this query at the railroad officials when the next meeting is held about a week hence. One thing seems certain and that Is the railroad companies have never been in business purely from philan thropic motives. Their officials are scared to death. They have "called off" Thomas V. Cooper, chairman of the house railroad committee, disap proving of his line of procedure and Mr. Cooper has allowed things to move along their own way since then. Aid for Old Veterans. Memorial Day exercises will here after be carried on in proper style at the expense of the various counties of the state, if the senate concurs in the house measure providing that county commissioners shall appropri ate annually as much money as may •be necessary to each post of the Grand Army of the Republic to defray the expenses of Memorial Day. Here tofore the burden of the Memorial Day exercises has been borne by the Grand Army posts both in regard to the work in getting up the program and the expenses incurred. The old soldiers are becoming less able each year to meet these expenss. A bill regulating trust companies was putin by Representative Esler of Allegheny. These companies are al lowed to do a banking business under certain conditions and restrictions. Trust funds, savings deposits and in vestments must be kept in separate ac counts and the surplus and undivided profits must be added to until they aggregate one-fourth of the capital stock. No individual shall be per mitted to borrow a sum greater than 15 per cent of the capital stock, 110 director may borrow more than 10 per cent and the aggregate loan to directors shall not be more than 25 per cent. The treasurer is not per mitted to be an officer or director in any other company of the kind, shall have no other occupation of profit, and shall not deal in stocks. The bill was introduced at the request of the banking department. Hard Blow to Standard Oil. The house committee on health and sanitation has served notice upon cor porations that it will stand no monkey business. The bill introduced "by re quest" by Representative McCord which, if passed, would wipe out all effective inspection of petroleum, was killed by the health and sanitation committee. If this did not jar the Standard Oil Co. enough another bill introduced by Mr. Hitchcock, of Tioga, may have the desired efect. It provides for a more thorough inspec tion of oil. and for the appointment of an oil inspector in every county in the state. The present law re quiring all refined petroleum and ker osene sold as an illumlnant to stand a fire test of not less than 110 degrees will be maintained. The most string ent section is one providing for a general and compulsory inspection, which the Standard Oil Co. has been trying to dodge. To Insure Pure Beer. Because "beer is becoming a na tional beverage," according to Repre sentative Garner of Schuylkill, it should be pure. Mr. Garner has in troduced a bill making it unlawful to manufacture or sell anything else than the real thing. No adulterations will be allowed. It is provided that nothing but hops, malt, yeast and water shall enter into its makeup, a! though a limited use of rice is per mitted for Ihe purpose of producing a pale liquid. If any brewer shall use any other ingredient not mentioned in the bill he is to be fined $5,000 for each offense, and the department of agriculture is to make periodical In spections tc see that the law is ob served. It probably will be another week before the capitol investigating com mittee is ready to hold open hearings and take testimony. The members of the committee and the 10 expert au ditors have been hard at work, how ever. Tt: attoiM ys and stenogra phers lil;.v.vise have been very busy gathering data together. Some of the members have i tted con Aden tH!ly that from what they ah ■ e:; ho i-. turned UP results t lint are worth while are certain to follow the investi gation. BAN Q. BARTON. The Good Little Cent. A popular clergyman bad just closed a successful religious campaign. A great many pennies had been put In the offering, and his attention was called to this. One night he hold up a silver dollar and a copper penny and gave a conversation held by the two coins. "You poor little red cent, you; you don't amount to anything. I'd hate to be you," said the big dollar. "I know I'm not very big," replied the cent, "but the children like me, and I can buy a good many things." "Iluii, you can't buy anything at ail!" said the dollar. "Just look at me, big and bright and shiny. I can buy a whole lot more than you can." "May be so," said the little red cent meek ly, "but I goto church a heap oftener than you do anyway." Calhoun and Randolph. When John C. Calhoun became vice president of the United States and con sequently president of the senate he announced that he had not the authori ty to call the senators to order for words spoken in debate, as lie regard ed each senator as an ambassador from a sovereign state. The eccentric John Randolph of Virginia took advantage of Mr. Calhoun's ruling to abuse him personally. One day he began a tirade by saying, "Mr. Speaker—l mean Mr. President of the Senate and Would Be President of the United States, which God iu his iniinite mercy avert!" What to Name Your Dog. There are certain English names for dogs that have meanings that might lie given when appropriate. Alan means a hound; Ashur, black; Blanco, white; Crispiu, curly; Duncan, brown; Julius, soft haired; Leonard, lionlike; Linus, flaxen haired; Itufus, red; Vivian, live ly; Clara, bright; Constance, loyal; Joyce, sportive. Such names as Scud, Rover, Dart and Patter are suggestive in themselves. Two classic names suit able for dogs are Biteou and Lixus. Reciprocity. "No," snapped the sharp faced wo man at. the door, "I ain't got no food fur you, an' I ain't got no old clo'es. Now git!" "Lady," replied Harvard Hasben, "I could repay you well. Give me a square meal and I'll give you a few lessons in grammar." Philadelphia Press. Wouldn't Dance Upside Down. A young lady rushed into a drug store and asked for some floor wax. The clerk told her they had no floor wax, but had some sealing wax. She replied, "We are going to give a dance and want to wax the floor, not the celling."—Baltimore Sun.

MANY SUDDEN DEATHS FROM POISONOUS RHEUMATISn The Disease Has Its Dangers— Should Be Taken in Time. Rheumatism lias long been regarded as a trouble which, while it might be painful, was not necessarily dangerous. Very few persons, it was thought, ever died from Rheumatism. Pick up a pa per to-day, and you will see that the majority of sudden deaths are duo to some form of neglected Rheumatism. Rheumatism of the heart, neuralgia of the heart, paralysis and poisonous Rheumatic acid are among the most dangerous forms of the disease. If Rheumatic acid poison is allowed to stay in the system, sudden death can scarcely be averted, 'there is but one cure for Rheumatism, and that is Smith's Specific Uric-O. No other Rheumatic remedy can possibly do as much for the disease. Uric-0 is a posi tive cure for Lumbago, Muscular and ■Articular Rheumatism. It will cure Sciatica and Rheumatic Kidney trouble in the most pleasing manner. Uric-0 costs 81.00 per bottle, and can be sup plied by your Druggist.
