The Recent Legislature.
The disposition of the public to criti
cise its legislative servants is a familiar
foible, to which may doubtless be at
tributed much of the present adverse
clamor agaln.it the legislature whose
long cession jvas brought to a close on
Saturday at Harrlsburg. That outcry
Is also probably due in par; to unrei-
- aonably hlch rooular expectation.
which failed to allow for the l.irse uor-
centage of new and cruSf material
tossed into ofllce by Lie: fills tidal
wave. No great uprising of vjters has
ever been characterized ny r.lc? ells
crimination as to the e'.ia-.'-ctiT of each
Individual beneficiary of Its enthusj
asm. This was shown by the last con
Kress, and may possibly prove true of
. Its successor. Large majorities are
both unwieldy and uncertain; and tho
large majority recently at Ilarrisburg
to these characteristics unquestionably
added the fault of being somewhat
careless of Its own responsibility.
Thus while considerable good work
was done during the session, much that
was not so good crept through also; and
a great deal that was good was foolish
ly crowded over until the next session,
In deference to the predilection of cer
tain factionists for frittering time
away In a kind of partisan sparring for
points. To the last category! may be
assigned the subjects of ballot and road
reform, both of prime Importance to
the people, but apparently of minor
consequence to politicians Interested
financially In such schemes as the
Greater Pittsburg bill or concerned po
litically In measures for the probing of
municipal Philadelphia, and so forth.
Neither of these generally demanded
reforms Is lost. Both are merely post
poned. But the public. In their post
ponement, Is conscious of a sense of
disappointment, which Is Intensified by
the knowledge of the Insignificant char
acter of the bills upon which so much
valuable time was freely wasted.
While the Republican party will prob
ably not have, in the next legislature, a
majority so large as It had In this one,
there Is really nothing in the record of
the minority party to encourage the
public In giving it larger responsibility.
During the recent session It got as deep
In the dirt as Its friend, the enemy, got
In the mire. There was no Job It didn't
have a finger In, and no scheme to
which, If Its help was needed, It refused
a willing hand. Its on- trick of helping
to defeat reapportionment illustrated
Its animating motive, which was to do
as much mischief as possible with as
much energy as was necessary. If the
people at large have by this session's
work been taught that It pays to look
to the character of the Individual
candidate as well as to the party label
at the head of his ticket, the disap
pointments and vexations of the past
six months of legislative activity In this
state will have been experienced to a
good end. If not, the lesson will sim
ply have to be learned some other time.
Aluminum Wings for Us.
From latest accounts it seems likely
mat me mucn-iaiKea-or nying macnine
problem has been partir.lly solved by
'the discovery of aluminum. The Im
mortalization of mythical "Darius
Green and his flying machine" In verse
many years ago, but verified tho opin
ion ot Bcientlflo men throughout
the f world that flying machines
, ci o ub iiuijiauiiuuuitj us per
petual motion, and the -efforts of
Ingenious mechanics in that direction
have been regarded with derision. The
production of aluminum upon an Inex
pensive basis, however, has opened up
new fields for the Inventor, and Profes
sor Langley, of Washington, has been
the first to test Its efficacy.
Professor Langley's flying machine,
which flew 1,000 feet on a trial trip at
"Washington the other day, Is construct
ed chiefly of aluminum steel, and is said
to weigh not more than the original
safety bicycle. Its boilers and engine
weigh less than fourteen pounds to the
horsepower. The action of the wings
of the machine Is the result of a close
Btudv of blrd fliirht. The wlnrra re
semble those of a dragon-fly more than
the wings of a bird.
' The Milwaukee Wisconsin Is of the
opinion that this successful trip of a
flying machine fulfills to some extent
the prediction that was made when
aluminum became cheap enough tor
comparatively common use. The' metal
Is so light, npd Is capable of being al
loyed to so much advantage that the
scientists who had been wrestling with
the problem of aerial navigation felt
that it would enable them to buikl en
gines and frames of aerial machines
which would 'be well within the lifting
power of mechanical wings.
The builders of the new yacht De-
fender, wliloh Is to meet the British
yacht Valkyrie, next September, in con
tests for the America cup, has her top
sides plated with aluminum bronze, an J
has deck beSFins made of the same mate
rial. The difference between the weight
of these plates and beams and plates
and beams of steel is estimated at no
less than Bevcn tons.' This lightening of
the upper portion of the yacht is an ad
vantage of no small account. It will off
sot the pressure of a lure area of can
vas and enable tho new yacht to Etaml
up more stilily at.'.tlimt the wind than if
she were built of steel throughout.
The French navy has been expert
mentlng with aluminum In the con
Btructlon of torpedo boata, tincl It Is re
ported that the results have been so
snth'faotory that mure new torpedo
boat nre to be built of tho light ma
terial. It h.'ta been found that when
aluminum 13 alloyed v.l'h co per It Is
not attached so blilngly by sea water
as Is pure aluminum, and if the plating
Is kipt well covered with pclnt It es
capes attack nlmo.s't entirely. From uso
in torpedo boats to use in tlu construc
tion of large transatlantic passenger
ships Is a long step when cost 13 consld
crcd, but aluminum may yet be pro
duced much mure cheaply than It !s now
The Aluminum World states that sinco
18S4 the total nnnu.il .production of th
metal has Increased from 150 pounds to
u3L,',C29 pounds, and that the price has
declined from $9 per pound to 75 cents
per pound.
The Growth of fladnecs.
Tho Medical lie cord quirtca from Dr.
T. S. rinustun, pupjrint: nd.'iit of tho
JIoi nin;:c'.de asylum, Scotland, a sls
nillcant p;uar.apa and follows it with
statistic even kns cheerful, as follows:
"One terrible form of brain disease, with
nvn'.nl fymptoms. Is cortnir.ly increasing.
That malady may be described as a break
down of the greut cetiter of mind and mo
tion In the brain; it always f,ov:; on from
bad to worse till It renders Its victim ut
terly helpless in mind and body, and Itilln
him In a few years. No cute, and scarcely
liny mitK-a-ilon of this latter-day curse,
has yet been devised. It is n disease of
cities, of restless lives, of nctivn bruins in
their prime; sometimes of dissipation und
debauchery, of life at high pressure com
monly." During the past year the u;.y
lums of Scotland received IjU new cas-?s;
those of Kngland, 1.100, and thoie of Ire
land, 5-. The asylum statistics of this
country show an even greater number. In
a single asylum of this state, for example,
that at Uftdensburp, there were among
the ft'.'J admissions 31 eases of general pare
sis. This would make the proportion of
pcneral paresis over 4 per cent. Among
seven state asylums, to which 1,012 pa
tients were admitted In lsin), there were
Cii cases of general paresis, or a little over
3 per cent. If 4 per cent, be the general
ratio for this disease in the state or .cw
York, then the total number of paret! 'S
among the' 10.000 Insitne would be about
610. As a matter of fact, the number Is
much greater, because the proportion of
this disease is larger in the New iork and
Kings county asylums than :n those of
the state at large. Hut even If there were
but 4,UU0 eases of general paresis anion,!
the 1U0.U00 Insane of this country, It would
bo an extraordinary eviuei re of tho devel
opment of a (II eaae wiil'di u tho lint cen
tury was certainly net known, even If it
did exist.
What are wo to Infer from these
figures? The lrrfmsdisits Inference, of
course, Is that the American people are
ru.ihing themselves into premature do-
cay. This Is a natural consequence of
the; prevalent crowding of great masses
of people Into unwholesome cities.
Fifty years ago the man was a rarity
In this country who had not, ns a boy,
been reared on a farm or else sufficient
ly near to a farm to Inhals pure nlr, get
ample exercise and preserve a speaking
acquei4ntanco with Mother Nature ot
fluU hand. Today, If a census could be
taken of tho young Americans who
have never Been n real, country farm
nor basked with any regularity in the
health-giving freedom of rural environ
ment, It would doubtless astonish the
cheerful optimists who imagine that
the rush of the younger generation city
wards is fraught with no evils to the
future of our country and of our race.
No doubt a tlmo will some day come
when the American people will come to
their senses and then take life easy.
Present proce;s?s of slow suicide must,
it would seem, sometime pall upon the
'masses who are today their facile vic
tims. The idea that civilization can
permanently deprive these w'ao nre at
least nominally civilized of common
sense is hardly to bo entertained with
out libtllng mankind. Therefore it Is
not to be supposed that the coming
man, and especially the coming Ameri
can, will be content to Invito physical
degeneracy and mental decay by for
ever continuing the present stampede
for urban homes and for urban-won
dimes and dollars. A period must come
when the pendulum of popular habit
will reverse Itself; when the maddened
multitude will tire of the city's stench
and roar and pollutions, and will go
back once more to the old homcstca"d,
with its lavish sunlight and Its nuothlng
shndt'3 and slumber.
In the meantime, there la apparently
nothing to do but to take chances on
escaping the fool-catcher.
Lackawanna county has good reason
to feel satisfied with the work of her
representatives in tho legislature dur
ing the session end-ad Saturday. Our
senator and" three members of the
house were first, termers; but that fact
did not deter them from achieving for
their constituents as much good, solid
work ns If. they had been veterans like
Representative Farr. Equally eatls-
factory has been the record of Heading
Clerk James E. Watltins, who Is pro
nounced by old members to be one of
the most obliging and efficient officials
ever In that position. In fact, the
county has received signal proof of Its
discernment In selecting an unanimous
Republican delegation.
The New York Press Is greatly exer
cteed at the failure of the recent con
ference between the Associated and the
United press to reach an agreement
preventing the duplication of news; and
it predicts that steps may be taken to
force ah agreement. The matter Is one
of slight interest to the public; but we
venture the opinion, in which doubt
less the public will concur, that keen
competition will do neither organiza
tion permanent harm. There Is busi
ness enough In the country for two
g-ood news associations; and our ex
perience has been that when two are
lighting each ether the public Is better
served than when one has a monopoly
of the field and can do or not do as It
pleases.

If the Seranton base ball club shall
carry out Its announced Intention of
sparing no reasonable expenditure for
better players, It will find such expen
diture a good buaine-s. policy. Scran
ton will Bupport a good club properly
managed, and support It well. No
doubt It will be difficult to get good
players in the middle of the season; but
with proper effort material Improve
ment can undoubtedly be made In the
piuent Inefficient team. We wish Man
ajr liarnie irood luck In his present
rjut'Bt for players.

Tho breezy, get-there-or-bust way in

According to printed reports Seran

Tho recent state convention of Pennsyl
vania Prlhlbltlonists did not, as erron
eously reported in some papers, adopt a
plank favoring roe coinage of silver.
Such a plank was reported from the pom.
rrilttc on resolutions, with a majority rec
ommendation, but the minority mado such
a light over It that the whule currency
ruiustion van laid on tho table. All of the
other resolutions wore, adopted. They re
lated to tlu followlng'qneallons: The to
tal suppression of tho liquor traffic; the
protection of tho Sabbath as a day of rest;
granting tho rights of suffrage to women;
better educational facilities In the public
schools, und oppoaln state appropriations
to sectarian schools; extending tho period
of naturalization of all foreigners' to six

An Interesting battle la promised next
week at Cleveland, over tho election of a
successor to W. W, Tracy, of Chicago, tho
present efficient president of tho llopub
llcan National league. Now York's candi
date will most likely be General Edwin A
McAlpln. General McAlpln was prcsidont
of tho New York State League of Itcpub
llcan clubs, and ho Is extremely popular
with tho league members throughout the
country. The (Massachusetts delegation
will probably put Henry Cabot Lodge In

da to. for the honor at tho Louisville con
vention. M. H. Do Young, of California,
who was also un unsuccessful aspirant at
tho same convention, Is expected to cross
swords airaln with Mr. Hastings. Accord
lug to the New York Press there Is con
slderable talk of sending tho presidency
south, to H. Clay Kvans, of Tennessee,
and should tho convention get Into n dead
lock Senator Stephen B. KIkins may bo
brought out as a dark-horse candidate.

Advices from Washington nre to the ef
fect that Senator Cameron treats his presi
dential eandlclncy as a good deal of a Joke,
Tlicsn fulvleos urn doubtless correct. The
Tuct is that even If the senator's silver
views provoked no opposition In tho east,
he Is cot the kind of man likely to bo
nominated for president by either of the
leading parties. A presidential candidate
la rxpected to be In touch with tho masses
of the people, on all questions which affect
the people. Senator Cameron not only is
not a popular man. In tho sense of having
a largo and enthusiastic personal follow
Ing, but he makes no effort to oourt popu
lar favor. A story Is told of him which 11
lustratcs this. During one of his senato
rial fights a lieutenant well known In thin
city notified the senator that If he would
Invite n certain member to hla Ilarrisburg
mansion and "Jolly" him up a bit he could
probably capture that member's vote.
"Go to the man," was Cameron's reply
"and ascertain his price. If I need blm I
will send him a cheek. I don't want eat
tie like him to defile my house with their
presence."

Judge Henry C. Caldwell, of the Klghth
federal circuit court, at St. J'liul, Minn.,
who became prominent by his rulings dur
ing the railway strikes a year or two ago,
Is an ardent free sllverlte. tint he does not
abuse those who do not think ns In thinks
on this question. In a letter to the Iowa
Bimetallic league he says: "1 havo llio
ureutest respect for President Cleveland
because he fa one of tho few great party
leaders In this country today who has the
courage and honesty to boldly avow his
views on this question. The majority of
those who nre credited with being leaders
of their p:ii ty are either as mut j ns oys
tors or utter empty and meaningless plati
tudes In tho hopo of currying favor with
both sides. I have great respect for a renl
11 nnd avowed 'gold bug,' but only con
tempt for a straddle bug. On questions of
public policy affecting the weal nnd woo
of the country th man who openly nnd
boldly uvown his sentiments, however er
roneous tiny may be, Is loss dangerous
than tho coward or hypocrite, 'lhe for
mer never, but tho latter always, disap
points you."
It Is announced that New York will
make a bid for both the Democratic nnd
lljpubllean national conventions next
year. Gollitem has never had a Repub
lican convention, and the last time the
Democrats met there was In when
Horutlo Seymour w.13 nominated. Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and
San Francisco arc all out hustling for tho
conventions. Ban Frunclsco lu perhaps
the most active on tho list up to date.
General Clarksen, Mr. I.lanley und sev
eral other prominent members of the Ke-
publlcan national committee are said to be
in favor of sending their convention to
tho Pacific coast. It will require a ma
Jorlty of tho full committee to decide tho
matter. David Martin, tho Pennsylvania
committeeman, Is said to favor I'hll.idel
phia.
Here are two planks from tho Kentucky
Republican platform which havo the
proper sound: "We favor a tariff so regu
lated ns to protect tho Interests of all
classes of our citizens upon articles that
may be successfully manufactured or pro
duced In this country, thus Insuring good
wages to the laborer and a home market
to the producer, and In connection with
this we favor the re-establluhment of tho
doctrlno of reciprocity."
"Wo favor an American policy which will
protect Americans nnd American Interests
In any part of the world at all hazards,
and will sympathize with strongly re
publican rather than Ignorant monarchies."-
II II II
Kentucky Republicans, In their recently
adopted platform, mistakenly spenk of tho
Intrinsic value of a dollar. They mean,
of course, the market value of tho sub
stance of which tho dollar Is composed.
Economists nowadays reject tho word "In
trinsic," as tending toward confusion.
For many purposes Iron has a larger In
trinsic value than gold; but gold has a
larger market value. Tho Kentucky mis
take Is a common one; but It Is none the
less a mistake.
WISE AND OTHERWISE.
The late Judge Clrenhnm was In many
respects a liberal-minded mnn. In proof of
which this circumstance Is recalled, re
latlng to his first experience ns a cabinet
minister under Arthur. Senator Voor-
liees, Colonel Dick Bright and a number
of other Demoorats he recognized no
party In soclul matters and two or three
Republicans prominent In Indiana public
life, among them Colonel Dudley, then
commissioner of pensions, were In Gen
eral Greshum's room at trio poBtofllco de
partment, relutlng Hoosler anecdotes, and
when the, party got up to go tho general
Invited them out to take a drink, for ho
occasionally took a social smile. All ac
cepted but one, who la known throughout
tho state as a tectotallor. "What!" ex
claimed General Gresham, "won't you Join
us In a drink?" "I never drink anything,"
waB the reply. "Well," continued the
general, "como down and take a cigar."
"No, thnnks; I never smoke." "Don't you
ever awcar?" asked the general. "Never,"
was tho reply. "W'ou't drink, don't smoke,
rover swears," repented tho general. "Do
you know," he continued, with a smile,
"that you have the traits of a very bad
man?" i

REAL JOY:
TIs sweet when nordld cares distress
And apprehensions thrill,
When griefs of yesterday opprcBS
And Hope today la still,
To meet some old-time friend again
With whom glad hours were spent,
And have him pay you five or ten
That you'd forget you lent.
Washington Star.
'
Tho strong characteristic of Secretary
Greuhnm wan his loyalty to his friends.
Uno of his warmest friends -was Colonel
William B. Morrison, n lifelong Democrat
of the shagbark hickory school. Mor
rison and Greshum were wont to meet al
most every duy when both were In Wash
ington, and Morrison thought as much of
Clrenhnm an Greshum did of him. It was
amusing, says a Washington paper, to noto
the sparnng matches theso old soldiers of
politics would have with one another.
When the circuit Judgeship was vacant
recently in Chicago, and before Showaltcr
was appointed to fill It, there were per
haps a score of applications for the place.
Morrison called on Gresham toVasunlly
talk the vacancy over. Afterward Mor
rison was askad what candidate Gresham
favored. "Well," said the colonel, cheer
fully, "Orssham and I are the best of
friends, but of course we don't toll each
other everything. I went up there today
to find out who Gresham was for. We
talked to each other for a long while, and
I asked him who he wanted; and he asked
mo who I was for, and between us we
named a heap of people, and each said he
did not care anything about it at all. But,
I'll toll you," and here the colonel became
very Impressive, "tho fact was Gresham
was lying to me and I was lying to him,
and each knew the other fellow was lying,
and I reckon we didn't either of us find
out much of anything."
