Hons of party policy oj.mi f..r uoiUublo continued discussion. It Is to be expected tii.it the lvmo cratlo press will proclaim tins Intvita tle action a "cowardly eviiHion of duty;" but the masses of the people, accustomed to receive authoritative par tisan announcements of position from national nominating conventions only, will not 'be deceived by Demoiratlc chatte:-. They are themselves largely at sea as yet respecting the subject of future currency legislation; and they want lime to study and to reflect. The question whether this necessary postponement of platform-making wag favorable or unfavorable to conserva tive bimetallism, ii not worth discuss ing. It makes absolutely no difference, so far as the league's functions were concerned. The majority sentiment of the Republican party will In due sea son, and through the proper channels, crystallize Into a national platform, and when that Is done loyal Republicans will have no option but to accept the result as the fair Issue of their own cherished principles of populir govern ment. Word of Caution. There la a vast deal of practical com mon sei.tn? In the remark of Colonel Vv. V. Dudley, the veteran political mana ger, to the Washington Post reporter fhfrt "every true Republican should put the repressing iiaud Upon the 'over enthusiast' In the direction of both the extremes upon the financial and tariff questions, and should make ii his duty to keep the Republican party 'in the tiilddle of the road Political lunges In either direction of the extremes .are fraught with danger, a.vi have uni versally resulted in party and national disaster. It Is time for wise, thought ful and patriotic men to counsel and In 1st upon conservatism with regard to tioth the great questions which are agl- J tatlng the people now. When It shall fcenome settled as to the policy if the larty, and Its next national convention ahall have given voice and enunciation to that policy, I have faith to believe that It will be such that the candidate nominated upon the Republican plat form of '98 can have a united- party at hla back and be elected by majorities of which the results of '94 are but a pre cursor. Iet every Republican remem ber that, in order to obtain the neces sary 226 electoral Votes in the eleotoral college for the Republican candidate. It Is necessary that the policy of the party should be unequivocal, wipe, con servative and Just to all sections and interests, and subordinate hU personal preferences for a candidate to this treat end. "Tli Republican managers would make a great mistake if they were to o conduct the campaign as not to carry the requisite num'ber of states in the electoral college, and thus throw the election of the president Into the house of representatives. This can only be done by so framing issues or enacting legislation as to drive the western and northwestern states away from their natural allegiance to the Republican party. Those states were given state liood by our party. Thousands of the best men and women of the central and eastern- states 'have found their home there, and our best and most represen tative type of civilization exists In those slate. Their residents are not fana tics ;they are merely earnestly Insist ing upon a hearing by the great body of the Republican party. By all the ties, teachings and. traditions of the past they are bound to our party, and will gladly remain with It if we will but give Uwa reasonable ground for doing so. To so legislate, or so act tn con vention, as to make It Impossible for those states to give us their electoral votes, would almost Inevitably result In driving them away from the Republi can party permanently. If the western and northwestern states should be lost to the Republican party In the electoral college of 1896, what promise or hope. Is there, the election being thrown thereby into the house, that Republican repre sentatives from those states, as now elected, could be held to the Republican candidate? We must look this danger squarely in the face, and It can only be averted by great wisdom, conservatism and patriotism on the part of Republi cans. We cannot afford to throw the election Into the hou?." It U all very .well to call western Re publicans imly nanus; but the party Cannot yet tifford to become merely a sectional affair. Did Poe Write It? Ever Blhce James Whllcomb Riley took the critics In with his clever Imi tation of l'oe'x poetry embodied In the lltli? jinsle called 'I.eonnnlo," alleged new discoveries of verses with the name of Poe appended to them have been regarded with unconcealed suspi cion. But the Vnlverslty Annual for 1S!.1 has braved this adverse opinion by pilntitiK a "llnd" ulleged to have Kvii made by II. Daltoti Dlllard on Feb. 2a, 18HS, In Volatile I of Rolliti's "Histollv Ancleiitie" In the university library. The Annual claims that u search of the records by the' librarian. .Mr. showed that the book bad b.esi bor rowed by Poe while a Ktudent at the I'lilversity of Virginia ami that It had livt berii taken otii since his 1 1 in. This Is the poem: the manuscript of which is written in Poe's well-ktiosvn lun.l-wilt- liiK, and bear' ills signature: Sallinf o'er th" s.ns uby:u.il Krom n world ot Shu 'ne. Once a vessel.

The discoverer of this poem claims. not without Justice, that in It the p culiar genius of Poe may be seen at first glance, and traces of the phlloso phy that maiks "The Raven," "Dream land" and other 'productions of his lonesome latter days are clearly appar ent. As the poem must have been writ ten when the boy poet was only r17 years old, Mr. Dlllard thinks it is thus interesting In that It disproves the state ment of Poe's biographers that there Was nothing cynical In the tendency of any of his earlier poems. The Philosophy of Education. In the course of an address last week before the graduating class of the Xorthwesteru university at Chicago Governor McKlnley uttered many gems of thought which shine lustrously when singled out for special quotation. Wit ness the following: The beginning of education Is the home and the greatest advantage of the Amerl- an system of Instruction Is largely due to the elevated Influences of the happy an prosperous homes of our people. There Is the foundation of the most Important part of education; If the home life is pure, sin cere and good, the child Is usually well prr pared to receive all the advantages and Inspirations ot more advanced education. The American home where honesty, so briety and truth preside and the simple everyday virtues without pon.p and os- teiilatlon are practiced. Is the nursery of all true educations. The need of the times In thorough educa tion, thorouKh equipment for a life work. What we w n lit to do Is to know some rood thlnf better than anybody else knows 't, and if we know some useful tiling better than our neighbors know it then an uve- rnie to a successful life Is open to us. Don't permit collate Meals to warp you and remove you from active participation In everyday affairs of life, '.earning and honor increase your capacity for useful- ntss and leadership, (lo out among the people and keep In toucn with them. Such contact will be rnutuully beneficial and useful In every community. You have no more Important work and duty devolv ing upon you as educated citizens than to make wholesome public sentiment. The university of today settles the future not only of the student, but of the world. The people were never more willing to pour out thflr treasure for the support of schools than they are today. The annual expenditure of the United States compared with other countries shows how near they are 10 the hearts of the American people. Th4 expenditure In Italy Is r,it.OOO, or 25 cents per capita; In Austria. Jl",Wi,ucio, or 30 cents per capita; In Germany, M.ooo.Guo, or CO cents per capita; In France. ISI.oom, OUO, or 80 cents per capita; In Great Ilrlt aln, $48,000,0uO, or Id. 3D per capita, nd In the I'nlted States, UM.o,M, or 12.40 per capita. Our census returns of 18M show that 87 per cent, of our total population over 10 years of age can read and write. Match It anywhere In the world If you can. Says Mulhall, the English statistician: "No nation has ever possessed 41,000,000 In stucted cltlxens." - No college can make you great, no uni versity can make you successful. These achievements, and It is the common exper ience of mankind, depend upon yourself. The secret of getting on Is to keep always moving toward a cherished object. . The way-train may have the same running schedule as the through train, but the lat ter reaches Its destination' first because It makes fewer stops and It keeps going. Exertion Is the secret of success In llfn. , The chief difference In men in school or out In the amount of work they do. No measure ot genius, so-called, will take the place of well directed hard work In any and every calling of life, After all, hope of the republic. Its safely and security and the strength and pros perity of public government must rest upon the great public school system now happily and firmly established throughout the I'nlted States. But his peroration was even more brilliant than any of these." This ago," said he, "demands nn education which will not lack in any degree the inesti mablo advantages of thigh intellectual culture, which will bent befit the man and woman for the calling tn which he or she have placed themselves, Ne;er forgot that the moral element must not be omitted. Christian charac ter Is the foundation upon which we must build If our citizenship Is to be lifted up and our institutions are to endure. Our obligations for the splendid advan tages we enjoy should, not rest upon us too lightly. We owe to our country, we owe to our commonwealth much. We must give in return for these maxhlees educational opportunities the bet't work, the best achievements and the best results Hi utir own lives. Un less we make our cilla.'tishlp worthy of the gj-cut republic, intelligent, patriotic und seli'-cicrlllcliiK. ull our Institutions will fall of their high purpose and our civilization will Inevitably ileoline." - II Is reported that the Scrnnton Trac tion company has already placed an order with a Hrooklyn manufactory for a type of safety car fenders said to be better adapted to steep urailes thtin any other kind. Wo trust the report Is correct, and that th? fender Itnclf will satisfy public reiiulrein.'iits. Public sci.'liiiieiit on this point Is thoroughly uroui hI, und will permit no further nonsense. The fact lh.it fcuderu fond clsev, here is prima facie proof thai they can ami shoiiKl find In SYrantuii.

The morals of the new woman must be conserved ut any hazard. - It is safe to assume that the political Ii'.teiniiiit of Sr'eiutor Matthew Stanley yuuy so profusely promised us u ncur circumstance by tic Democratic press wl'l turn out to be merely another case of the wlih being father to the pro phecy. The genial smile which yesterday overran the classic countenance of your uncle William Barnle was a rarity, the remembrance of which will be cher Ished for many a day. Let us hope It may soon become a more familiar feat ure. Because Clovrrnor Altgeld has unex pectedly culltd an extra session of the Illinois legislature, one Chicago paper wants to know It he Is Insane. Execu tive fondness for legislative sessions Is certainly a suspicious symptom. With a continuation for a few weeks of the quality of yesterday's ball play ing, the Scrantou Base Ball association will soon be declaring big dividends and receiving pennants. In base ball, as In politics, nothing succeeds like success. After taking" double the necessary time -to think It over, common council has atlastadopted the'fender ordinance, This result, late as It Is, is none the less welcome. Now for fenders that will fend! Tlu Cleveland Press prints a picture of Secretary Pred W. Fleltz and cred its him with asserting that "Cleveland Is as good a itown as ttcrantou." Here Is material for a. rigid Investigation. Christopher L. Magee's paper, the Pittsburg Times, speaks of Senator Quay's "declining power;" but the man who bets will probably not be In any immediate haste to capitalize this tip. POLITICAL tiuSSl'p. Discussing the now-famous Interview of Senator I'enrose declaring for Mckinley, which he regards as voicing the opinion of Senator Quay, Walter Wellman, him self a Democrat, writes to the C'hlcano Tlmen-Hi-rald thut conservative Washing ton estimates give Quay control of 45 out of Pennsylvania's U Republican delegates to the next national convention. Mr. Wellman adds: "Matthew Stanley Quay Is regarded in Washington os the best politician In America. If one Is to be Judged by results, yuay is worthy of this distinction. Without any other leverage than his skill as a manipulator of men, he has kept his leadership In the face of scandal and lleree opposition. Not an ora tor, nor c-ven a tolerable public speaker, with no gift of posing or charming, with out sentiment or association with any great Idea, he has defied all rivalry. The question Is of fen askeilr How does Quay manage It '!' The answer Is very ln Urf sting. In the first place, he never goes bade on his friends. -He fights for his frlf nds, early and late, all the time. Prob ably the man does not live who can truth fully say that Quay ever broke a promise to him. Such a man attaches friends to him with steel hooks. They are as ready to tight for him as he for them. Outside of Pennsylvania many men look upon Quay as a man of low tone, a boss of odious characteristics, a leader who ought to be dethroned. Hut attack Quay In Pennsylvania, and from river to mountain tops not only the Republican leaders, but the rank and file, rush to his support. The Republican party of Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, Is as thoroughly subject to his orders as Is an army to the commands of its general's orders." All of which comes mighty near to being the gospel truth. II II II The Wllkes-Barre Record repeats Its wanton misstatement that Lackawanna Republicans are "hopelessly divided" with reference ta Mr. Wlllard's candidacy and adds: "It, oil came about through the ac tion of Congressman Rcranton, who took occasion, on the very day that the Ucran- ton delegation went to Harrlsburg In Wll lard's behalf, to severely criticise Gov ernor Hastings In the columns of the Re publican. That paper holds the governor responsible fur the extravagance of tho legislature, accuses him of unseemly pride In (he slse of his majority, .and charges him with promoting a presidential boom for himself at the expense of his party. The motive b?hliul this vindictive ill Ivq Is not clear. But the friends of Wll lard believe that It Is aimed at him and resent It accordingly." The Record ought to know that Lackawanna piople ot all parties have indorsed Mr. Wlllard's can didacy In the strongest terms, and are not to be moved from that position because of one newspaper's abuse of the governor, the motive for which Is obvious. II II II The latest information as to Senator Quay's intention Is that he will be a can didate for the permanent chairmanship of the next state convention, but not for the state chairmanship Itself. The mention of Lieutenant Governor Watres for this position Is very favorable throughout the state, but it Is not known whether be would care to make a fight against Judge Gllkeson, who Is an avowed candidate for re-election. The objection is offered to Gllkeson by many who take no part, In the current fight that while superintendent of banking he ought not to be at the head ot the state committee, for obvious rations. II II II Erie Dispatch: "The indorsement of Governor Hastings by a Republican con vention of Erie county on Monday was a tribute to a. man who, while only six months governor of the state of Pennsyl vania, has fully demonstrated his ablliby to handle the affairs of the executive Oe purlinent of the commonwealth of the t'nlon. Governor Hastings has, we ore sure, honestly endeavored to conduct the affairs of his otllce for the benellt of the whole people of the state. He Is the com ing 1'ennsylvanlan." II II II ,The Erin Dispatch, whose business man ager occupies un executive position In one of the HiirrlHliiirg departments, Is pitch ing into Senator William H. Andrews, rough shod. It accuses him of being nn employe of the Keudlng Railroad com pany, of having done strange things at Hnrrlsliurg, and of having "traded and tratliced on Senator Quay's name until tho friends of the Junior senator from this stale are heartily tired of it." Inasmuch as the Mendvllle senator Is a lighter of the first degree, this quarrel may yet prove InterestKiK. '! Ii II Major Everett Warren, speaking lo th.) Clevtlund World In behalf of the Pennsyl vania league delegation, said: "Wo aio not for free silver, but quite the reverse, and will attempt to persuade the conven tion as far as our Influence und votes will allow us. We think the tariff Is the domi nant Issue, or ought lo be: It Is with us, but there really ought to be nothing said or done that will seem to forestall the work of the national convention next year, nut only on the money question, but on anv other." II I! II Ex-Collector Thomas V. Cooper pre dlcls that the I'litled States senatorial light lit llarrlsliiirg two years hence will be between Cameron and Wunamnkcr. Mr. Cooper should not overlook ex-Lieu tenant Governor Wutres, Ha may not be suylng much, but he Is "all there." II II II The Democrats of Franklin county, the home of Alien W. Thurman, have elected a solid autl-f ree silver delegation to the Ohio Democratic convention. Thurman's free sliver candidate In his own ward was overwhelmingly defeated. ii n ii The Honesdule Citizen- refers to the Scrunton Republican's recent assault upon Governor Hastings as a "combination of rattling generalities." which Is presum ably the parliamentary way of saying a pack of lies. II II II The Philadelphia Inquirer Intimates that Pennsylvania will have no presidential candidates of its own before the next Re publican national convention. What Is the matter with Governor Hastings? II II il According to one report, Senator Quay "Is growing suspicious of somo lieutenants and will prefer hereafter to hold the reins himself." It Is time. II II II The latest advices from Richard Croker are thnt he will come back from London early In September and conduct Tam many's campaign. II II II Clearfield Democrats, in convention as sembled, repudiate free silver. SUMMER DRINKS. From the Globe-Democrat. The Depew Decoction: Dr. Chauncey M. Depew orders dally a unique lemonnde In which callers, prohibitionists and drink ers join him. It lias a pungent odor, an Inviting color and a rich taste, and you would never guess Its secrets without be tug told: One quart bottle half full of Ice. Add the, juice of three lemons. Dump In a wineglass of sugar. Fill with fresh, hot Oolong tea. This, by the mingling of tho hot and the cold, "stirs" Itself and 1s ready to drink while the brewer Is telling a summer story, and If he has a mint fancy a spear or two of this herb may be set in the neck of th bottle for flavor and picturesque- ness. The Drink of a Doctor of Divinity: Dr. Talmage's drink Is ice crearn soda. But you must know that there are sodas and sodas. He takes the plain soda, and or ders plenty of juice of the ripe strawber ries squeezed into it. Then, with his own hands, he manipulates the vanilla ice cream spoon. As much cream should be put In as will fill the glass otter a cup of berries have been squeezed Into It and the usual amount of soda water put In. This, taken very slowly, will keep one moist and talking for half a day. What a Politician Quaffs: Egg drinks are good with lemon juice; otherwise they are apt to be rich and heavy. A good family drink, or an office one If all the comforts of homo abound, Is: An egg beaten to foam. A lemon squeezed upon as much sugar as will stny on a silver dollar. A glass of powdered Ice. , With a shaker, or an- Improvised one of two glasses, these should be put swiftly together and shuken until there Is a full glass of white foam, with pule amber liquid beneath. A dash of brandy Is added by those who like to think they are taking brandy and eggs. Or of sherry for the sherry and egg man. The bitter Is the rc-clpe used during hot weather by T. U. Piatt, who, however, puts In very little sherry. SONG OF THE SEASON. She Is waiting for the signal, for the sounding or tne oeii That will start the young reporter all her triumphs glad to tell. How he'll rave about her talents and her aliv rnliictfinf feat And he'll ring In all the changes where the brook and river meet. He will write such glowing columns of her brimming golden carls, He will crown her queen triumphant of the rosebud wreath of girls, He will chant her praises ever, from the dewy morn till night, And she'll wear In every Instance "some soft clinging stuff" ot white. But she doesn't mind the chatter that lie writes a little bit, For she's conscious that her crepe do chene will surely make a hit And her essay, tied with ribbon, which will say, as heretofore, That the Past she's left behind her and the Future la before! - , How she'll tremble us she courtseys o'er her ribbon-tied bouquet, How she'll sweetly flush and flutter as li" shyly ebbs awuy. And a tear "ill brim her lashes as she nestles by her mate; What a dear, delicious humbug Is the sweet girl graduate! Oh, the poets tell the glories of the leafy month of June, And they sing the song of roses to un old and worn-out tune; But the man who reads the papers feels n thrill of helpless hate. If ho hasn't got a daughter who's a sweet girl graduate! Judge. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dally Horoscope Drawn by Ajacahus, The , Tribune Astrologer. Astrolabe cast: 3.GS a. m,, tor Friday, June 21, 1895..
