DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY. The prgsent situation in Pennsylvania is without precedent in political history. The whole government of the State and of all the chief cities is in the obsolute control of a small group of men, with no profit at the public expense. The ordinary restraints of law are laugh. ed at. And the people, knowing that they are robbed, are apparently acquigscent, or helplessly submissive. The recent rape of railway franchises is only a more than usually flagrant evidence of this sordid abuse of politieal power. The legislative and execrtive authority of the State and of the municipality me under enrich themselves. ial duty are subordinate to this one end This is the opportunity and the duty of the true Demoeracy, not for mere party advancement, but to rescue the municipality and the Commonwealth from the control of selfish speculators, to whom poli- tical power is only a means of publie plunder, The importance of this i i end and purpose of the present party domination, that it must all self-respecting eitizens to unite and hurl from power the men who prostitute the authority of the people to their own aggrandizement and to drive them to the prison cells where they belong.

HE PRESIDENT HAS ISSUED orders establishing civil govern. ment in the Philipines Islands where military government is no longer needed. Where the latter foree is still necessary the civil government is in a state of suspended animation. This is rather muddled. The shoulder straps still remain superior to the judge and the cival law, It could hardly be otherwise wise with 60,000 troops in the field to maintain order. Then the decision of the supreme court in the insular cases calls for the supremacy of the military jurisdiction, unless we want free trade in the Philippines. A military tariff is constitutional; a civil tariff is unconstitutional —unless created by Congress. M* EDISON CLAIMS to have developed the long-expected ideal storage battery, and that it will change the methods of the traction companies, and take the place of both the overhead trolley and the underground line. In the first place he claims to have got rid of great weight, and in the second place secured indestructibility, The life of the present, storage battery varies from a few months to a year or two, the longest life being only six or seven years. In his new battery he claims there is absolutely no deterioration. He proposes to establish a factory, and will put the new batteries on the market for his own profit. HE CENSUS OF CANADA just completed puts the population of the Dominion of Canada at about 5,500,000, which will be an increase of 11.76 per cent since 1801. The increase for the prior dec. ade was 18.97. At that time twenty years ago, Canada had a popula. tion of 4,324,810. The total increase in twenty years has been 1,198. 000. As against an increase in ten years in Canada of 11.76 per cent the United States increased in the laet ten years 21 por cent.
