Senator Penrose Is In a position to nppioclate the obsoratlon that noth ing succeeds like success. m Highly Improbable. One of the assumptions that Is fre quently encountered those days, In fact, one which was lately put In cir culation foi a particular put pose, Is to the effect that when Piesldent JIc Klnley begins to j;lve out the fedoial patronage in Pennsylvania he Mill Ig nore the regular Kenubllean oiganlza tlon, with Its leptesentatlon of two votes In the United States senate, and place the executhe fuvois mainly In the hands of those who are aiiayed In aims against the existing party leadeishlp. Although as a rule it Is uell never to crokS u bildge until the bildge is reached, It may be proper In way of re assurance to the objects of this singu lar tin eat to .say that nothing In Major lUeKlnley's own iat jecord as a dis penser of political 1 (.cognition and eiy cetalnly nothing In the hlsloiy of other piesldents who lime undei taken to ignore the senatorial proiogatle offeia a color of Imitation to such a piepos teious bUltf. Auditor Geneial lljlln is said to liae Rubetnatnilnl aspliatlons The com monwealth could search fuithei and faic worse. The One Way Out. Thoie Is lepoi ted to bo a disposition in the senate to thiottle the Loud pos tal lefoim bill In committee As show ing the enormous loss sustained by the government each year on the tianspot tatlon of second-class mall mattei, tome Intel eating llguies have been made public. In 1S90 there wore car lled J4S,0SS,C4S pounds of this matter, resulting In a levenue of $2,9GG,103. Al though but little mote than C.",000,000 pounds of fhst-class mall matter weie tianspoitcd duilng the t.ame pei iod, they jlelded a revenue of $C0,C.' 1,401. The incieaso in the weight of. second-clas3 mattei for tho ear v.is 117,000,000 pounds, as against 13,000,000 pounds the ear befoio. The meie cost of tians poi tatlon of this matter was estimated at S cents a pound. The postage le cehed fiom It was only SVi mills pel pound Thus 341,000,000 pounds, in lound numbers, at S cents, per pound for transportation, cost $27,920,000; the gov ernment lecelved for the same S'fc mills per pound, or $2,96G,403, a loss on tians poi tatlon alone of neatly $23,000,000 The question to Impaitial observation piesents Itself in this light: Does the public gain sultlciont advantage fiom the carilage, by the government, at a loss, of books and advertising matter bound as bogus periodical publications, to vv at rant It in leaching Into its pocket eveiy jear for money to bildge over thr deflclencj ? This Is the whole ques tion In a nutshell. It would seem that a way might be found to draw the line so as not to injuie either the postal svivlce or the leading public, The Loud bill's greatest en or In our judg ment Is In allowing so laige a dlscie tlon to tho postmaster geneial. Post mastets. geneial are veiy likely to be susceptible to what is commonly known as "pull." Let the law deilne in plain wotds what kind of printed matter may lecelve the cent-a-pound rate and what kind may not; and then let the law be enfoiced. The Philadelphia Ledger thinks that should the Cojle mining bill become a law, "it will be in older for somebody to introduce a similar bill t elating to it on and steel woiks, and this will open the way for cominlssionets to enfoice the laws telatlng to eveiy depaitment of Industiy, fiom clam digging to de paitment stotes. Theie aie plenty of laws, to icgulate the mining industrv; the pending bill looks veiy much like a ptoposltion to make snug betths for a few more politicians." That's just what It is. An Economizer of Human Life. Some inteiesting .statistics appear In this week's Medical Itecord with te feience to the elllciency of the antitoxin tteatment for dlphtheila. In 1890, out of 71 cases at the New Yotk Foundling asjluin, there weie 3G deaths; in 1891, theie wete G7 cases and 33 deaths, In 1892, CO cases, 23 deaths, 1S93, 123 cases, 34 deaths, 1S94, 133 cases, 32 deaths; 1895, 91 cases; 43 deaths; 1S98 to De cember, 117 cases, 18 deaths. During five months o 189C, under antitoxin tteatment, theie have been: July, 10 cases, 9 iccoverles; August, G cases, G tecoveries; Septembet, 5 cases, C te coveiles; Octobei, 19 cases, IS tecover ies; November, 23 cases, 21 tecoveries. Of ICG severe cases tieated by Dr. Rosenthal of Philadelphia only 4 have died, befoie the Introduction of anti toxin he had lost as many as GS out of 100 cases. Dr. Biggs of New Yoik of feis in evidence tables showing the to tal number of deaths fiom dlphtheila for the successive jears since 18S9 In Paris, IJetlln and New Yoik. In Petlin the total avetage death rate fiom diph theria for six months for these yeais up to 1895 was CCS. For 1893, after anti toxin had been partially Intioduced, It was 429, and in 1890, after mote general lnttoductlon, it was only 291, or less than one-half the absolute number of deaths which had occuued on the av etage for the ptecedlnu sK jears. In Paris there had been a similar 1 educ tion: fiom 1SS9 to 1S93 It had averaged 923, while for 1893 it had avetaged 228, and for 1896, 329. These are not per centages of mortality in the total num ber of enses diagnosed as dlphtheila, hut the avetage of deaths, fiom the dis ease. New York city nlso shows a great fall in the absolute number of deaths fiom diphtheria It) 1893 and 189G compated with the previous years, upon the whole, no other conclusion can be sustamed after a study of these and similar retires than 'that tho anti toxin treatment has established Itself as promlnenjt among the considerable number of liedlcal discoveries during tho past few years which have revolu tionized the practice of medicine, rob bed many once-dreaded ' diseases ot most of their tcitots and rondeted It possible for tho ensuing generation, If It will manifest oidlnaiy prudence, to surpnss all ptlor generations of man kind lit Its low mortality iato fiom causes other than accident and old uge. ' It Is announced that Senator Jlagoo has perfected a permanent treaty with Mr. Wanamaker to Jlcht Quay. This will be leassurlng news to Quay, A Picture with Two S lies. The Chicago Ttlbuno each jcar on New Year's day piints a lecotd by states of the blight and seamy sides of the jear Just ended. Its table of the sums lepiehented by the embeys'le ments, defalcatlons.foigerles and bank looting of 1S9G foots up to $9,4GS,921, or an nveiage of about $"SS,S2G per month. We leatn from the Philadelphia Led ger, which has made a cateful analy sis of these tetuins, that the "losses lnlllcted In this jeat upon the conlid ence of the public weie not as gieat us they were In 1S9j, and fall far be low the Ilgutes ot 1S91 $25,234,112 when these fotms of ubiallty wiought most desttuctlvcly In the hlstoiy of the count! y. Tho neaiest appioach to the recoid of IS'U was that of 1S8I, when the public wete victimized to the ex tent of $22,154,000. The llguies relating to the opeiatlons of einbezleis, foig eis, etc, vaty, of couihe, gieatly fiom jeur to jeai, so that it Is dllllcult to dpttimlne fiom a tecoid of this cluuacter whethet tho woild Is glow ing better or worse." The tecord by slates shows that Now Yoik occupies liiht place, with New Hampshlte sec ond and Pennsylvania a clote thiid. The losses aio dlsttlbuted as follows: Stolen fiom banks, $3,99G,C70; by city and county olllclals, $1,303,975; by agents, $1,045,000; by foigerles, $311,500; fiom loan associations, $479,5S7; mls cellaneous stealings, $2,200,000. The suicide lecoid of the count! y since 1S90 Indicates, accoidlng to the Ledger, "a steady piogtesslon in the number of those unfottunates who llnd lite unbeatable. The list of suicides seems to glow with the lnciease of population, but the business depres sion of the past few jeais may ac count for the growing figures to some extent." The suicide lecord since 1S90 stands as follows. 1S00, 2040; 1891, S531; 1592, 2SG0; 1S93, 443G; 1S94, 4912; 1S95, 5750; lfc9G, G320 Of this last number 507S were men and 1442 women, and this piopoitlon of about 4 to 1 has been almost unlCotmly maintained fiom jeai to year. "Fiom this unpleasant, tepellant exhibit it is refreshing," adds our Philadelphia contempoiary, "to tutn to a blighter page of humanity. Duilng the pat year the magnificent sum of $33,070,120 was given to chaii ties, churches, colleges, scientific and art mubeums, llbiaries, ic, by will, or donated duilng the life of the donois. The amount named Includes only gifts exceeding $1000, so that it is by no means the measuie of the countiy's philanthropy for a ear." In 1S94 the charity lecotd reached $19,9G7,11G; in 1S95, $28,913,549. It ought during 1897, undei the stimulus of ieturnlng pios peilty, to go beyond the highest pie vious maik, for though the evil foices of humanity are indefatigable, the foices which make for good aie ever the stionger. Since Editor nick, of the Wllkes Dane Times, set up as the new boss of Luzetne county nepubllcan politics, theie has been consternation in the of fice of tho Hecoid. Put Flick at least knows whoie he Is at. An Educational Service. The Ttlbune today prints the final In stalment In the seiles of letteis in which Mi. J. E. Richmond, of HonPs dale, has lecotded facts and impres sions acquit ed during a journey of nearly 12,000 miles among Noith Ametl pa's Wonderlands namely, Yellow stone paik; thefabulously fertile andthilvlng Pacific coast; snow-capped and Ice crowned Alaska, and the substantial Canadian Northwest. It is his hopcfo add at some future time a series of let teis descilptlve of the Mailtlme Ptov inces of Canada, which aie the only paits of the Engllsh-tspeaklng poitlon of Noith American as vet little known to the avetage citizen. Before dismissing this subject It Is not unfair to offer a few wotds In recognition of the seivice which Mr. Richmond has so conscientiously per formed in the ptepaiation of these read able and lnfonnlng letteis. Our lead ers will readily testify that his contri butions have possessed many of the fascinations of lomance; nnd we In tutn can say that the statements of fact in the letteis have lnvaiiably been accurate, uncoloied and author I tatlve. A more fanciful pen than Ills might havo sut passed in lhetorle, but we question If In equal space has evet been compacted by any pi lor w titer a more lnstiucthe mass of tiustwotthy Infot motion concerning the great em pties that lie piactlcally unexplored at our vety doois. Tho w liter of this, before whose eyes the letters, In manusctlpt and proof, havo come, deems It not an exaEgeia tlon to pionounco the Richmond let teis an educational set vice to Noith eastetn Pennsylvania, teaching the beauty and tho dlvpisiilcntioti of Ameilcan sceneiy, the richness and va riety of Amei lea's natural lesouices and, above all, the majesty of Ameri ca manifest destiny as tho lmpetlal mothetland of future civilization. A bill Is before the Illinois legislature to letnodel the municipal government of Chicago. It provides for the election of a mayor who shall hold ofllce lor five yeais and receive a salary of $20,000 a year. The aldermen aie to be clios-en for thiee yeais terms, one-thlid of them to bo elected each year, and aie to receive a salaiy of $3,000 a year apiece. If in addition the mayor wete to be given absolute power of appoint ment and removal over every depait ment pave tho city ticasury and audit ing department', It would form an ex periment worth tiylng. One-man pow er In city government Is bound to come. An injustice has been done to Rep resentative Cot ay of West Plttston, In the represntatlon that his vote for Judge Rice for senator In the Joint caucus at Xlarrisburg- last Tuesduy was an attempt to dodge, Thoie Is no more co'JingoouB ot consclnntloUB mem ber of the Pennsylvania legislature than K. A. Coiay. He objected to Pen lose on "Eioumls that seemed to him trood and out of self respect he lefused to be herded with the fiults of tho Hon. Sol Hachatach's activity for Wanamaker In Luzerne. Consequently the only thing left to bo done, except not to vote at all, was to vote for a thiid man. Wo think that his objec tions to Pentose were unfounded; but nt any late he was ttue to his con victions, and It Is a shame that proper etedlt should bo denied him In his home ptcss. The latest cabinet speculation up to golng-to-ptess time adjusted Senator Sherman In the state secretatyshlu, made Judge Ooff of West Vliglnia at torney general, gave Cornelius N Bliss the navy portfolio and nwaided to Judge McKenna of California the sec letatyshlp of the Intel lor. The treas ury department Is open, both Mr, Ding ley and Senator Allison hav lug de clined, and Is likely to go, therefote, to ex-Goveinor Men lam of Minnesota. We pi edict that John Sheiman will not accept a cabinet position, In which event look out for e-Secietaty Ttacy foi the next secietaiyshlp of state.

It Is an enjoyable publi cation tor those who aie familiar with the Geiinau language. Tho discussion as to whether Hon.

Sracu;c, N. Y., Post: When the seni torlal campaign began Mi. Wanamaket appeared to bu the leading candidate. He was early In the field with powerful In ltueiiees and itsouices behind him. Tliero was no candidate of eti Iking pcrsonilltv opposed to him. But when Senator Qua. tluough lovalty to netsonal frlendshln. took up the candldao of Boles Pentose, tho fight was at once tiansfened against Senator Quaj himself. Under those cir cumstances the vlctoiy was a brilliant one and showed ugain tho masteiful re souice of Senator Quay. Perhaps the seeiet of Senator Qua's stiength Is Ills reliance upon the "common people," as they are called. In mole than one hot contest In Pennsvlvanlo. politics he has been opposed b the powerful coi posi tions and organizations of capital, and has had to rely upon the tank and Me of the party. But they have alwavs been true to him, as he has been to them. It can be said for Senator Quay that he Is a f i lend who never goes back upon a friend. He does not try to suppress In dlvidualltv or to make his political asso ciates meie dummies to register his will. Iho Republicans of his state bellevo In him, and they have shown on many occa slons their conlldence in his leadership b helping him win just such vlctoiies as this, his latest, and in some lespects his gteatcst. -O-Au Admirable Opportunity. Reading Herald: As public attention Is attiacted to Mi. Penrose by his unique triumph, even his enemies must appre ciate what a remarkable career and pet sonallty Is his.

Mr. Pen lose Is but thlrt-siv, and an unusually vigorous oung man at that. He Is de cldcdlv brilliant, is endowed with good judgment, sober sense, wide Informa tion and a judicial temperament.
