How can the Pennsylvania Democ
racy conflne Its fnll cnmpalgn to state
Issues, nnd on state Issues what prom
ises of betterment, can It make which

are printed?
A Diagnosis and a Cure.
That was an awful Indictment which
President Draper, of the University of
Illinois, drew of American government
when,, In his address to the graduat
ing class at the University of Michi
gan, he said: "Reverence for the law Is
the esxence of good citizenship and
the security of the state; and respect
for. the law Is breaking down. It Is
brf-aklng down because legislative ac
tion Is governed by caprice nnd by un
worthy combinations and attended by
tumult and uproar. It Is breaking down
because 'the enactments arc so num
erous and so Involved that few can
comprehend them. It Is breaking down
because the laws aie not evenly nnd
speedily administered. The feeling Is
coming to be common that the law Is
on sale; that any one with keenness
and experience nnd money can pro
cure the enactment of almos-t any prop
osition Into law at the hands of the
municipal, county, state and federal
legislatures, nnd thnt the interests of
the people are safer when these bodies
are not In session; and the feeling Is
likewise common that nny one with
keenness and money can Indellnltely
delny or entirely overturn the expressed
purpose of the written law. The log
ical sequence Is that citizens do not
stand equal before the law; and that
mere sharpness, rather than right or
substantial worth, is the touchstone of
success."
Is this statement of the situation true
or false? If we consult the records of
the recent legislative session at Har
rlsburg we rind "caprice," "unworthy
combinations," "tumult" and "uproar."
AVe also find strong piesumptlve proof
of the assertion that legislation. If not
always on sale, can at least very often
be expedited by the dextrous use of
money. Next, the work of congress
lends color to President Draper's ar
raignment, especially when we per
ceive that after months of delay so
costly as virtually to decide In many
cases In favor of the bankruptcy of In
dividual huslness men when prompt
ness In action would have spared them
this humiliation, the senate has prac
tically adopted an emergency tariff
bill virtually as It came fiom the
house. The case for President Druper
strengthens when we examine close
ly the work of our municipal councils
see, the wholesale grants of Inval
uable public franchises given In fee
simple to the corporation with the
most effective lobby, watch the handi
work of the men who have pulls and
note the apparent helplessness In point
of restraining power of the membets,
few but plucky, who stand for ilght
eousness and the public weal, Dlsre
bpect for law Is shown when nomina
tions for office go to confirmed law
bicakers and when the principal busi
ness of the civil courts appears to be
taken up with the manoeuvers of ex
pert attorneys to clicumvent justice.
In fact, to any man who has the cour
age of his eyesight President Draper's
case is easily established; but It Is not
so clear what the remedy Is.
Perhaps, after all, It Is to be found
In the admonition of Dr Burroughs,
another western college piesldent, to
drop the ptoblem-studylng fad and
centralize on character-building.
Cannot the Nsw-Dealor understand
that It Is against the ordina-ioj.i to
ride a bicycle on the sidewalk In this
c:ty? To ask for an enforcement of
the law is not an attack on wheeling.
The Right Way to Go at It.
If the Kngllsh government were to
accede to Ambassador Hay's petition
for the release of Mts. Florence May
brick, the American woman under sen
tence of life Imprisonment for the
murder of her huslwnd by poison, upon
the broad ground of International good
will, It would no more than balance
the pardoning account between the
nations. On a number of occasions the
government at Washington has releas
ed prisoners duly convicted in our
courts, upon the request of Oieat Brit
ain, not upon 'the claim that they had
been' falsely convicted, but as nn act
of courtesy to a friendly ppwpr.
One notable cafee of this kind occurred
In 183?, , when Alexander McLeod, a
Canadian, was released in New York
iJYiorder of the governor of that state,
v after he- had been Indicted for burning
the steamer Qarollne, in American
tvnters. It was during the time of tho
insurrectionary movement In Canada,
and the Caiollne was buspected of fili
bustering; but the seizure of that ship
tfndWts destruction by lire by a party
iif loyal Canadians headed by McLeod
constituted a crime under the statutes
tor .which McLeod, who was captured,
could have been severely punished. On
this occasion Great Britain did not ask
Jorhls leleube as a favor, but pursued
her usual tactics of bullying and blus
tering, and the graclousness of tho
jArnerlcan action In giving him up de
eplfe the Insolent tone of the English
, foreign office Ih thereforo tho more
conspicuous and creditable.
' It must be confessed that until this
time American sympathlzel h with Mrs,
;.Maybr!ck have pursued an Injudicious
.i und. unfortunate policy. They have
proceeded upon the assumption that
Jier.' conviction was an act of gnlte,
without a scintilla of warrant In' the
evidence, nnd have asked tho British
i .Rovernment, jn the granting of a par
don, to indorse this self-stultlfylng
cltilmf-We must confess that In view
of Information developed slneo tho
trial Mrs. Maybrlck's Innocence now
appears clear; but It Is equally clear,
that by the manner In which her
friends have assailed the British
courlB, they' have made It next to Im
possible for the British government
to order her release. To do so would
Involve a gulping down of British
pride compared with which, from an
English standpoint, one 'wom'an's fate,
though Fhe bo Innocent as claimed
and on this point, we must remember
there was more reasonable doubt at
the time of her conviction than there
Is now Is of slight consequence.
By putting the appeal for Mrs. May
brick upon no other ground than that
her pardon, Irrespective of the question
of guilt, would con'stttute an net of
courtesy to the American people who,
through their ambassador, have of
Jlclally requested It, the McKlnley ad
ministration has united tact with
shrewdness, nnd has In nil probability
opened the one way by which this un
fortunate woman can escape from her
living tomb,
The doctors of the world will gather
next month nt Moscow, the ancient
capital of Russia, to attend the twelfth
International congress of medicine,
Russia may be an Illiberal country In
many respects, but It Is worthy of note
thnt It was the only country In Europe
which offered to transport the visiting
disciples of Aesculapius free of charge
over tho railroads within Its borders.
Some of the countries gave half-fare
rates, and Germany refused to make
any reduction, but Russia gave the doc
tors carte blnnch and Is preparing to
entertain them like kings. The Rus
sian way of doing things has Us pleas
ant aspects.
One Extremist's Complaint.
Tho professor of political economy nt
the University of Chicago Is J. Lau
lence Laughlln. Last year ,T. Lauience
threw himself with such ardor Into the
cause of sound money and the gold
standard that at a comparatively early
period In the campaign he was forced
to take a rest. He married 'and went
to Europe. It was reported upon his
return from that vacation journey that
he had regained the pristine freshness
of health and manner which had there-
tofoio been his normal condition; but
the aitlcle which he supplies to tho
current Forum belles this report. It
exhibits J. Iiure.ice In a bilious mood
and reasonably excites anxiety for his
futuie.
The subject of the Chicago professor's
contribution to the contemporary dolor
is, "The McKlnloy Administration nnd
Prosperltv," and its burden Is that
the aforesaid administration, by de
clining to do as the Chicago professor
avd certain other strident Mugwumps
advise. Is ictardlng Instead of hasten
ing prosperity's return. J. Laurence
i.s aggrieved, deeply aggrieved, over two
things, lie is filled with pain at tho
spectacle of the Republican party try
ing to pass a tariff bill for the pro
tection of. American industry; and tho
f-plrit within him fairly writhes when
be ihlnks that McKlnley, William Mc
Klnley, the man for whom he wrote
so many gold-monometallic articles
a year ago, has hesitated to
strike down the greenbacks and has ac
tually had the effrontery to send a
commission to Euiope in the Interest
of International bimetallism. Help
silver! Laurence would sooner aid
Old Nick himself. "To the bastile with
all blmetalllsts" would be his cry. If
ho had the power; the very mischief
will be to pay If we don't soon kill
them otf.
But let us dip Into the professor's
own rhetoric. It Is offered as his be
lief that "a moderate tariff bill, so
adjusted as to provide sufliclent rev
enues followed by a speedy adjourn
ment of congress would, no doubt,
have given the country even though
suspicious of the monetary situation
gieat encouragement to undertake Im
portant enterprises. Instead of this
what was the country given? A tarllf
of exaggeration, a tariff of scandals, a
taillf of barbarisms, a tariff whose
extreme provisions have been so thor
oughly advertised throughout the
length nnd breadth of the land that
counter agitation for a reform of cus
toms duties Is seen to be quite Inevit
ably a part of the future." If It were
worth while, one might pause to ask
Professor Laughlln to what sentiment
among the people he ascribes the nomi
nation at St. Louis of Major McKln
ley whether to a popular preference
for the "revenue only" stylo of tarifC.
But It is not worth while. Such de
votion as his to the cause of free trade
Is too touching to be disturbed.
We come now to the second Item In
the Chicago economist's bill of com
plaint the indisposition of the Repub
lican leaders to brand as false the In
numerable declarations of the party
In favor of International bimetallism.
"It may not be a pleasant thing to say,"
observes the professor, "but never be-fore-at
least In this generation has
ther? been such widespread loss of ocn
lldence In the honor and Integrity of
our public servants In congress. One
almost hesitates to put Into words the
frequent admissions of thoughtful men
that national legislation Is today bar
gained for. If not actually bought and
sold. So far has suspicion gone, that
It Is even limited about, as matter of
common report, that while the presi
dent himself inny not have made elec
tion promises, yet his agents have en
gaged tor him, In tho form of a tariff
bill, to allow numerous Interests to
recoup themselves from the country for
advances made to secure the nomina
tion and election of their candidate.
The audacity, the unblushing 'grab,'
displayed In Washington gives color
to such repoits; else why should such
legislation bo given Its strange pre
eminence over monetary reform? And
w hy should the president have nllowed
himself to open the special session of
congress with a message In which thera
was not one word In regard to mone
tniy legislation the main question of
the campaign? Why Is It seemingly
admitted In Washington that It Is Uto
pian to talk of a bill retiring green
barks?" '
, So Intent Is tho Chicago writer upon
aspersing our public officials that lie
overlook two viery reasonable and,
obvious answer to his questions. Mone.
tary legislation was not the main ques
tion of the campaign; nnd talk of re
tiring tho greenbacks Is Utopian nt
present because there aren't votea
enough In either branch of congress
to do tho retlrlnsr. Why should the
president run his head against a brick
wnll?
It Is announced that tho Improve
ment of the common schools will be
the principal theme of the National
Educational association now In session
nt Milwaukee. It Is the most Import
ant educational problem of the time,
dive us good common schools nnd It
won't make so much difference how
the colleges are.
The latest from Cuba Is to the effect
that General Garcia, the moat com
petent military leader among the In
surgents, Is preparing to gratify Wey
ler's alleged desire for a battle pitched
In the open. Let us hope Cuba will
score a Saratoga, If not a Yorktown.
The ambition of the new Librarian of
congress Is to make Uncle Sam's book
collection the flnmt In the world and
to attract valuable donations and be
quests from prlvnte sources. John Rus
sell Young Is the man to realize this
aim.
One peculiar feature of the soft coal
strike Is that many of the operators
welcome It, since It spares them the
necpslty of operating at a loss. When
such Is the condition what proipect
can the strikers see for success'
It Is a peculiar fact that the clavs
which wanted a few years ago to tax
Incomes so as to hit the rich now
object most i'renously to the p;opos"d
tax on stocks and bonds. Why this
chunge of tune?
From the Fourth of July re-turns
throughout the country It appears that
for once the weather clerk did vastly
more execution than the firecracker
man.

Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Washington, July 6.
While, with possibly one or two exer
tions, every member of the present dele
gation In congress from Pennsylvania will
be a candidate for renomlnation the
chances are that thero will be a good
many new faces In the next house from
that state. Beginning with the two rep-resentatlve3-at-large
there Is a possibil
ity of both Mr. Grow and Mr. Davenport
being left at home. The former was first
chosen a member-at-large at p special
election held on February 20, I'M, to till
a vacancy caused by the death of General
William L'.ly by the then unheard of ma
jority of lSkS.29), oer his Democratic op
ponent, James Denton Hancock. At the
following general election In November,
1S91, he was re-elected by the tremen
dous majority over oil of 246,402. Two
years later Mr. Grow's plurality reached
the enormous size of 297,415. As for
Mr. Davenport, the otl'er member-at-large,
If he Is renominated It Is belle'cd
by some that It will not be without con
siderable opposition.
General Bingham, of the First district,
who Is serving his ninth term, will have
no opposition for renomlnation, and wltn
20,000 natural Republican majority back
of 77im, he will likely serve In congress
as long as he deslies. The First district
could have no better representative than
General Bingham. It Is said that Mr.
Adams, of the Second district, will have a
rival for the nomination next year. His
opronent may be Major John M. Carson,
tho well known Washington correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger. Mr. Car
son Is a resident of the Second district,
and has many warm and Influential
friends In Philadelphia who would be
Tilghly pleased to seo him in congress. It
goes without saying that Mr. McAleer
will have opposition In his own as well as
In the, Republican party, with the chances
moroagrlnst him for the nomination than
election. It Is understood that Mr. Young,
of tho Fourth district, will have to defeat
his predecessor, Mr. Reyburn, If he ex
pects to return to congress. Mr. Young
has made an excellent representative so
far and will Improve with age. Mr. Har
mer, of tho Fifth district, Is said to be
willing to quit congress for the governor
ship. Ex-Congressman Jack Robinson will, in
all probability, oppose Mr. Butler In the
Sixth district, Mr, Wanger, of the Sev
enth district, who Is serving his third
term, may have to step aside for some
ambitious Bucks county statesman. In
all probability Mr. Klrkpatrlck will be
renominated by bis party In the Eighth
district, but tho chances are somewhat
against his re-election as that district
Is naturally Democratic, and only de
faulted last year by 229 votes, which was
due to a family row and tho unpopular
ity of his opponent Mr. Ermentrout, of
the Ninth district, will likely succeed him
self, as Berks county, under the two term
rule. Is entitled to the Democratic nomi
nation next year. Mr. Broslus, so far as
known, will have no opposition In the
Tenth district.
(Mr. Williams, of the Twelfth, will like
ly have a smooth road to a renomlna
tion, and as that district Is now a safely
Republican one. there will be no trouble
about his re-election. If Mr. Brumm, of
the Thirteenth, can capture a renomlna
tion he has only one "Democrat to fear.
Ills name Is James B. Rellly, tho pres
ent marshal of the eastern district. Ho Is
the only man who ha,s ever been able to
defeat Mr. Brumm, and then only occas
ionally. As this Is his first term. Mr. Olm
sted, of the Fourteenth district, will no
doubt be renominated, and with oer 20,
000 Republican majority back of him his
re-election Is reasonably certain. Mr,
Codding, of the Fifteenth, may have to
defeat State Senator Hardenbergh, of
Wayne, If he wants to come back to con
gress. It Is a good many years since
Wayne county has bad a member of con
gress, and if Mr. Hardenbergh Is not
nominated for auditor general this year
he may cross swords with Mr. Codding
for the. congressional nomination. Hard
enbergh Is one of Senator Quay's closest
friends In Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Mr. Packer, of tho Sixteenth, will like
ly have opposition for renomlnation. It
Is very seldom that that district ever
gives a member a second term. ' It did
break the rule In the case of 'Representa
tive Hopk'lns, who served In the Fltfy-sec-ond
and Fifty-third congresses. His buc
cessor, Mr. Leonard, was only given ono
term. It is a solid Republican district.
Mr. Kulp Is the first Republican to rep
resent the Seventeenth district for many
years. Ho I now serving his second term.
Tho chances are that bo will be re-elected.
Mr. -Mahon seems to have an Iron grip
on tho Eighteenth district, and If he dois
not enter tho gubernatorial race next year
ho will In all probability come back to
congress without much trouble. Mr. Hep
ner, of the NIneteerth, will have to "lay
low" ex-Congretsmnn Beltzhoover If he
wants a renomlnation, and It Is doubtful
If he can knock out the Irrepressible lit
tle ox-member from Cumberland, Mr,
Hicks Is probably serving his last term
rrom trie Twentieth district. He had a
bard fight last ear, and It wus only with
the aid of tho state Republican commit
tee that ho pulled through. He Is now
serving his third term. His Republican
opponent will likely be J. E. Thropp, of
Bedford. Mr. Robbtns, of the Twenty
Hist, will havo no trouble In being re
elected If he can secure a renomlnation.
The nomination, however, Is more than
likely to go to one of the other counties
of the district possibly Indiana,
Mr, Dalzell, of course, will have no op
position for renomlnation In tho Twenty
second district, and Colopel W, A, Stone,
If he la not nominated for governor, will
be 'lila own successor from the Twenty-
second. From present indications Mr.
Acheson will have considerable difficulty
In capturing another nomination In the
Twcnty-fo'irth. Fayctto county will have
a candidate and bo will that portion of
Allegheny county which Is In his dis
trict. There will be a free-for-all fight
for the nomination In tho Twpnty-tlfth.
Mr. ShowRlter, the present member from
that district, will be a candidate, but ho
will be lucky If ho succeeds In being re
nominated, Mr. Sturtevant, of tho
Twenty.g'xth. will not have a walkover
for another nomination. Crawford coun
ty will likely put up a candidate against
him. Some say It will be State Senator
Andrews. If Joe Sibley Is not tho Demo
cratic candidate for Governor ho mny
again enter tho congressional race In that
district. Mr. C. W. Stone will have no
troub!o In coming back to congress from
the Twenty-Ptventh If he decides not to
enter the gubornntorlat race. Mr. Arnold
may not be a candidate for rcnomlnatlon
In tho Twenty-eighth If his gubernatorial
boom, started a few weeks ago, shows as
much life next summer as It does now.
Then, the Republican nomination In that
district next year means a hard fight at
the general election.
THE LEGISLATURE OF 1897.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The final adjournment of the legisla
ture wjll bring .a deep sense of relief
throughMho state, and doubtless Inslle
of the legislative halls as well as outside.
The session has been long, ugly, weari
some and mostly barren. Tho legislature
was slow In getting down to work, due
In part to the senatorial light and to the
destruction of the capltol. This dllatorl
ness at the beginning unduly prolonged
tho session; but during tho past two
weeks there has been much diligence,
and, with all Its faults, the work is
rounded up In better shape than was
promised some days ago.
o
The Impiesslon created through the
state has been decidedly unfavorable
more unfavorable probably than a final
review of the actual results and the pre
vious comparisons would Justify. What
ever there has been of vrong has been
remorselessly exposed. The search lights
have been turned on at every point with
an electric glsre that revealed every spot.
All the peccadillos and Jobs that in for
mer sessions have remained concealed be
cause there was no Diogenes hunting with
his lamp havo this year been relentlessly
uncovered. The factional fight growing
out of the senatorial contest set both
sides watching each other. Every art was
tried to disguise the Jobs, generally In
vain, for as soon as a head popped up on
ono side there was somebody on tho
other ready to hit It, Seme of the wrongs
were kIS'ed, and some were not; but the
continued vigilance kept up a continued
row nnd continued bad odor, and wMle
the results of the warfare were various
the effects of the Impression were con
tinuous. o
Thus the factlorial division, while It en
gendered strife and scandal, exposed
wrongs and did good. Sometimes It
seemed confusion worse confounded no
leadership, no harmony of counsels, a
Donnybrook Fair with a shllelah In ev
ery hand. Out of It came not much good
legislation, but the defeat of consider
able bad legislation. The house was a
law unto 'tself wayward, uncertain, ca
pricious, with a good deal of good mate
rial running loose and wild. The "Seventy-six"
were often an effective brake
on scaly schemes not always. In the
main they had good Impulses, and for the
most pan they loved the work of hunting
snakes. They carry a good many rattles
as trophies. Sometimes seme of them got
drawn Into the holes themselves, but the
state Is far better off todav for their or
ganization, and it owes them a vote of
thunks. Nor would It be fair to condemn
their antagonists In a lump. There were
good men among them who meant to do
their duty, but It is a hard thing when
the battalion In en the rnaich not to keep
step. The senate was by no means as In
dependent as the house, and did not kick
In the traces and rear up In the air like
the colts. It was docile, but In plodding
along under the whip It had an eye to the
main chance.
o
The record of the legislature Is mixed.
Under the leadership of the governor it
settlod the question of the new capltol In
the wisest manner and averted a great
opportunity of Jobbery. There was an
extraordinary brood of expense bills be
cause there were a great many nest-eggs
of investigation. Most of them were
addled, and in the end, after a good deal
of amusing scrambling, the outcome was
not as bad as It threatened to be ten
days ago. Tho so-called "reform" bills
were abortions. Two of them, after belus
mutilated beyond recognition, were Ifi
nomlnously defeated and Indecently bu
rled. The other two were left as mangled
monuments of perverse pretence. The
worst monstrosity of the session was the
Becker three-tlfths bill which would de
stroy the reform charter of Philadelphia.
Many members doubtless voted tor it
against their own judgment, but under
that complaisant spirit which goes along
with the established leadership. But we
confidently look to the governor to veto
this bill and savo the city from Its rav
ishment. o
Among the valuable and commendable
acts secured a-e the Hamilton good roads
bill, the forestry legislation and the libel
law, which in future years will probably
most distinguish this session. The final
and precise outcome of the vigorous and
varying struggle over revenue and ap
propriations can better be Judged when
Its results can bo more accurately meas
ured. The revenue bill Involves a system
of graded licenses, and it Is believed that
a sufliclent Income is now assured! to
meet the necessary demands. But the ap
propriations havo yet to pass the scru
tiny of tho govtrnor, and It is safe to
say that they will bo brought within the
limits of tho revt-nue, so that there will
be no deficit. He will also have much
other legislation to review, and when ho
gets through the summing up will bo
shorn of much of Its terrors,
TWO INKV WAYS.
There was a man Who advertised
But once a single time.
In spot obscure placed he his ad
And paid for It a dime.
And Just because it didn't bring
Him customers by score.
"All advertising Is a fake"
He said, or, rather, swore.
He seemed to think one hammer tap
Would drive a nail clear In;
That from a bit of tiny thread
X weaver tents could spin.
If he this reasoning bright applied
To eating, doubtless he
Would claim one little bite would feed
Ten men a century.
Some day, though, he will learn that to
Make advertising pay
He'll have to aod ads to his ad,
And advertise each day.
