SCKANTON, JANUARY , 1807.
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.

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.

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.

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.

THE SENATORSHIP.
A Brilliant Victory.
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. He Is a very oung man
and has had fccaicely a dozen years of
public life. The majotity of senators have
passed the half century mark. Many of
them are sixty and bevond. 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. He Is
now conf touted with an opportunity to
carve out a splendid name and a line
future for himself.
Will Mensure Up.
Wllllamspoit Gazette and Bulletin: In
tho peison of Boles Peniobe the state is
assuied of wle, capable and Intelligent
public seivice in the senate of the United
States. Mr. Penrose Is a Republican
around whose Republicanism there hangs
no doubt. His distinguished service to the
state Is an Indication that he will measuto
up to tho standard tequlred In the
higher oillce, and we feel satisfied that
time will prove that tho reptesentatlves
of the people of the state have made no
mistake In calling him fiom their ranks
to take a seat In tho highest legislative
body In the land.
