j"yheji thehf two eminent Itepubll
tans fell out two years ago, a warfare
was predicted which affected the com
monwealth from centre to rlrcum
ferenco ninil Imposed a tremendous
strain upon the party's vitality. It Is
Iho" belief of many, formed nfter a
careful study of tho situation from
gopd points of observation, tihnt that
BtriiKBle could have been averted had
the principals In It come together
frankly. If there Is any friction now,
theHeson o'f tho earlier mistake
should bo heeded.
" Tho Republican party In Pennsyl
vania Is apparently Is Its own worst
enemy. It ilnds It so easy to make
away with tho I'opocratlo enemy that
wtttm that Is done a surplus of pug
nacity Is left unprovided for, and this
usually works out In a factional row.
Wo have had two of these rows In
two years. True, the party majority
hasn't suffered, for the enemy was sim
ultaneously having troubles of Its own;
buflne effects of the factionalism have
outcropped In much vicious legislation
and bad blood. We cannot expect the
opposition always to favor us by re
maining also at each other's throats.
Our Judgment Is that the present talk
of friction is emphasized for a purpose.
There are possibly those who would
like to get Quay and Hastings on the
outs. Hut the best Republicanism
these days Is that which considers the
party's Interests first, and If this pre
vails there will be no trouble.

The Lehigh Valley Change.
The retirement of Kllsha P. Wilbur
from and the accession of Alfred Wal
ter to the presidency of tho Lehigh
Valley Railroad company fulfill predic
tions that the accession of J. P. Morgan
& Co. to the control of this valuable
property would bo followed by a
greater attention than has been paid
In the rast to the needs and Interests
of the anthracite coal trade. Mr. Wal
ter, the new executive, has for the
past thrpo years been In direct touch
with tlin anthracite problem as man
ager of the Coxe estate and president
of the Coxe railroad; and this fact,
coupled with Ills general experience
and ability a3 a railway manager,
pointed to him as belns peculiarly fit
ted to put the new policy Into success
ful nd Intelligent execution.
The change comes 11s a welcome relief
to Mr. Wilbur, whosa advanced years
and multiplying outside Interests had
for some time conveyed to his Judg
ment the wisdom of an early retire
ment. The splendid condition of the
passenger and general freight traffic
of the road and Its widespread popu
larity attest the efllclency of his work
as tho road's directing head and con
stitute a record of which he may well
bo proud. That some modifications of
policy with reference to tho coal In
terests were thought advisable Involves
no reflection upon Mr. Wilbur, but Is
rathf-r an Incident of a centralization
of control over the coal carrying prop
erties which was until recently deem
ed an Impossibility.
Too much one-horse politics and too
little horse sense aro what Is the mat

Far Guards to Citizenship.
No more Important matter presses
for regulation In this state than the
one Indicated In the resolutions of the
Schuylkill county bar association print
ed on another page. The protection of
American citizenship by the Interposi
tion of stringent safeguards In natural
ization Is Imperative. We have got to
face this fact sooner or later, and the
sooner wo face It with decision, the
better for ull concerned.
The new nllen tax law has made citi
zens jat hundreds', possibly thousands,
of aliens In Pennsylvania who aro not
fit for citizenship, and who will not
value citizenship when they exercise It.
It has done this because the different
courts, with a few honorable excep
tions,, havo heretofore been too timid
or too negligent to carry out the spirit
of our naturalization laws by making
careful Inquiry Into the applicant's
fitness. We all condemn Ignorance and
venality at the polls and in the pro
cessesr of government, yet here is a
Judiciary that, in not less than two
counties out of each three, makes little
or no attempt to safeguard citizenship,
but naturalizes every male alien that
comesUIong. When an alien cannot get
through tho bars In one county, all
he has to do In many Instances Is to
cross the county line and approach
the courts of tho next county along
tho lines of Its political bias, and a
grant of citizenship Is assured. Such
a low valuation of the naturalization
functlqn should bo considered intol
erable. Tho tlnio has corao for an Indignant
public .sentiment to call a halt on this
laxity. Tho requirements set forth In
tho resolutions at Pottsvlllo aro none
too drastic. If the man who seeks for
sovereign-power and responsibility In
this country Is not capable of pro
paring himself to bo of usefulness to
the country when made a citizen of It,
then his petition for naturalization
should be rejected and no tears shed.
Tho Idea that we may with Impunity
take Into civic fellowship every male
specimen of the proper age that shows
his face on Yankee soil belongs to a
Period of our national history which
long cro this we should havo out
grown. - -

The Detroit Convention.
If there Is a force In connection with
party government which thus far has
labored toward public ends unselfishly
and from a sense of duty, It Is the or
ganization which Is now holding a na
tional convention at Detroit, the Re
publican league of clubs. As Individ
uals Its members may have shown the
aptitude for self-assertion which per
vades politicians generally, but ns an
organization the league has held fast
to Its mission as a non-factional and
non-dlctatorlal party auxiliary; has
done with the enthusiasm of volunteers
much of tho hard routine work of po
litical organization and battle; and has
taken Its reward In satisfaction at the
triumph of Republican principles.
During the national contest of last
year It Is no exaggeration to say that
the league was the most effective slngla
Instrumentality In the hands of the
party manogers. It offered Itself as
a convenient and trustworthy vehicle
for the distribution of literature; It ar
langed for local meetings In all parts
of the country; It conducted canvasses
of doubtful territory and Indicated to
the national committee weak places
In the battle line; and finally on elec
tion day Its vast membership was
avallabletwlthout expense as a icserve
force to man tho polls and see to the
getting out of tho party vote. In other
words. It proved Itself not an orna
ment, as some had feaied might bo
Its destiny, but a very valuable utility,
to which every citizen is Indebted who
believes In tho doctrines that Repub
licanism represents.
It Is especially worthy of note that
the leacue leaders who successfully
captained this great auxiliary force
last fall are not today among the sup
plicants for office at Washington. They
are in the saddle, shaping the rank and
file for the coming engagement nnd
keeping their powder dry. It is pos
sible that In such n fidelity to party
Interests they are setting a valuable
example to some of the older war
horses who appear Just at present to
care less for fight than feed.
It has been well said that tho object
of education should be to reduce the
tuition fees In the school of experience;
but we fear that too often It tends to
incieose them.
Two Celebrated Jturdcr Cases.
Such murder cases as those of Gul
densuppe In New York and Mrs. Ben
ham In Batavla. throw a large doubt
upon the proposition that civilization
sufficiently clvlllzos. With tho facts In
the former case the public hereabouts
Is quite familiar, but the latter Is less
known and may justify a brief review.
Young Benham of Batavla is a
banker who on August 4, 1S94, ran nway
with Florence Tout, a IC-year-old
heiress of Bvron. N. Y., and mnrrled
her. On tho girl's part the marriage
was undoubtedly one of love, for until
her death she adored her husband; but
on Bcnham's part cupidity seems to
have been tho chief magnet. In the
latter part of last December Mrs. Ben
ham was taken violently sick, showing
symptoms of poisoning. She died eight
days later. In her stomach were found
traces of prussic acid. It has developed
since that Uenham purchased prussic
acid nt about that time and seemed
Interested In lt& toxic effect. The most
sensational part of tho trial of Benham
for the murder of his wife Is tho tes
timony charging him with having for
several months prolr to Mrs. Renham's
death maintained relations of sus
picious Intimacy with another woman,
a Miss Wlard, who comes of a wealthy
and prominent family. It Is shown that
Renham repeatedly went driving with
Miss Wlard, took journeys by rail with
her Involving an absence of days and
declared his wish to marry her if free.
Miss Wlard has fled from the neigh
borhood to avoid tho shame of being
forced to testify In court; and yet it
appears that while Mrs. Benham was
alive she professed to be her friend.
In the case of Thome and Mrs. Nnck
we have two criminals of the lowest
antecedents, who represent tho out and
out brutaltsm In human nature. Mrs.
Nack has for years been a prostitute
and nn abortionist, and Thorne a
"sport" nnd a tough. That they should
put a low value on the life of a person
whom they wished out of tho way Is
not peculiar. But In the case of Ben
ham and May Wlard we have two in
dividuals coming from the most favor
able surroundings, both persons of edu
cation and ostensible refinement; tho
one married to a woman who wor
shipped him; the other pretending to
be that woman's friend. Wealth, posi
tion and leadership in business and
social affairs called for from these
two persons an exemplary life, yet they
appear to have chosen the criminal
path without a pang of compunction or
regret; and their case Is probably typi
cal of many others not made public
by scandal or revealed crime.
There is no particular need to mor
alize upon these facts. They carry their
own lesson. But Is there not something
faulty In a system of education and
social development which turns out
smart products like Benham and May
Wlard, without developing in them a
perceptlblo sense of right and wrong?
Governor Hastings evidently thinks
he- is entitled to speak for himself.
Killing the Egg-laying (loose.
The state of Florida has evidently de
termined to reduce the subject of state
supervision of railways to a burlesque.
An act recently passed by the Florida
legislature, creating a State Railroad
commission, confers powers upon the
commission which are practically with
out limit. It can fix rates, orderljhe
construction of passenger Btatlong,nd
has authority to regulate railway
schedules, and to say at wh time
trains must crrlve at ana depart from
a given point. To the commission,
which Is composed of a lawyer, a rail
road man and a fnrmcr, must bo re
ported every transaction mado In tho
course of business, and books must bo
kept open for their Inspection. The
railroads aro nlso required to notify tho
commission of every freo pass they
Isruo and to whom. In short, tho com
mission Is tho absolute arbiter of tho
railroad business In Florida, leaving
the owners but little more privilege
than the paying of salaries, and even
thnt privilege Is slightly trenched upon,
because the companies arc required to
report their salary list to tho com
mission. It Is a reasonable Inference
from this that In caso the commission
found the salaries too high It would
feel Itself Justified In suggesting a re
duction. The absurdity of such a sweeping ex
emplification of state socialism Is
clearly pointed out by Robert P. Por
ter In an article In the New York Mall
and Express. "Railroads In Florida,"
says he, "need encouragement, not re
straint. The volume of railroad busi
ness In the state Is very small, the dis
tance verv ureat, and there Is no
through business. No traffic passenger
or frelcht passes from one state Into
another through Florida. There Is noth.
Ing south or east of Florida to and
from which traffic Is taken, conse
quently the roads have to rely on local
business, nnd, ns this Is small nnd
much spread out, comparatively steep
rates have to be charged to clear ex
penses. If the idea of the Florida legis
lature was to stop railroad building,
th'elr object tuny bo said to bo attain
ed. For tho outlook for building a rail
road In a stnte whose commissioners
prnctlcally take charge of the most Im
portant function In connection with
running them, namely, the fixing of
rates, is not such as to offer any temp
tation to capitalists to invest their
money there."
We should Imagine that this act
would speedily fall down If brought for
review before any honest court.
For a man who Is on the verge of
suppression It must be admitted that
General AVeyler Is keeping a stiff upper

Why More Men
Do Not Marry.
From tha Providence Journal.
Mrs. Kato Gannett Wells, who lias
evidently made a study of the matter,
tells us In tho North American Review
why more men do not marry.They aro
detened by tho bogle of-expense to be
gin with. Our modern way of living Is
so much more elaborate than that of a
former generation, wo lncludo so many
things In. our llct of necessities that our
fathers nnd mothers regarded as luxuries,
thnt It costs a great deal more to sup
port a houiehoM than formerly. Hy
gienic sclenco demands better sanitation,
larger sleeping rooms, and a multitude of
Improvements of which tho people of un
earlier period did not Cream. TI19 social
requirements of the average family aro
Increasing every year, tho outlny for
nmuse.nonts Is growing, tho popularity
of outdoor sports constitutes an Impor
tant drain. Most young men are nblo to
get nlong comfortably on tho Income they
have, hut they shrink from tho effort to
make It do for two. They listen respect
fully to the mnritnl enthusiasts who In
sist that they will save moro money af
ter they aro married, but decline to bo
convinced by this argument.
o
Tho slimmer girl, according to Mrs.
Wells, has un adverse itifluenco upon tho
Inclination of most men to marry. "Sno
fastens like a parnsite on the tender col
lege youth and adores his fresh young
ninn'Jness. She leads' htm a Jig In tho
dance of hit feelings, too wary to accept
moro thnn bonLcns, nnd ready tc hold
him In leash as a brother when he runs
to pcntlmsnt. Ono or two such experi
ences teach him In turn, as ho grows old
er, tho art of flirtatious fencing nnd of
breaking otf In the middle of a declara
tion. At tho end of n season his vnnity
has not been hurt by n. refusal, and her
conscience consoles htr for not having
brought him to tho point." It Is only
natural that after, a Utile of this the
young man slrould lose something of his
zebt for marriage, and prefer a "test of
his emotions which will not culminate in
the fixity of feeling ipqulsite for a wed
ding." Tho summer girl, if wo are to
bellevo Mis. Wells, has destroyed his
ability to love but one person steadily.
0
The higher education which has now
become so common, acts as a forcible de
terrent In the tamo direction. It used to
bo a custom among college graduates to
announce their engagement on class day.
Now many of them look forward to a
lengthy course In a professional school,
and to a subsequent struggle for a suit
able Income. Hy tho time they feel they
aro In a poslt'on to marry they have be
como set in their bachelor ways, ovcr
partlculnr about tho girl of their choice,
perhaps, and moro Inclined to postpono
thel wedding day. In a similar way
club-llfo militates' against marriage. So
many comforts may bo obtained at his
club, and without tho worry Incident lo
tho management of a house of his own,
that many a man sees no need to change
his condition. Ho likes tho trained obeis
nnco of tho club attendants. Ha enjoys
tho freedom he knows ho would bo com
pelled to sacrifice If ho were to marry.
"Club life provides that easy affluence,
pors-onal Independence and gratification
of tho palato which a fellow on a small
salary can command as a bachelor, but
which would bo Impossible If ho had a
wife, even If both lived a la carte, that
unsatisfactory process of mental jug
gling by which two persons mako be
Hove that each has had enough when
both aro still hungry."
o
Theso and other considerations, says
Mrs. Wells, deter many men from mar
rying, but tho fn;t remains that muU
men do marrj, and that when a man falla
In lovo In what has coma to bo called tho
old-fashioned way, ho usually asks tho
woman to havo him. What sho is In
clined to say about It is nnotner story.
Mrs. Wells or some other observer might
now proceed to tell us why tho numb5
of women who do not look forward to
marriage ns their matter-of-course Uce
tlny Is Increasing.
TWO EMOTIONAL WO.IIUN.
From tho Youth's Companion.
If the men who become the objects
of hero-worship could seo the evidence of
tho feeling they Inspire tuey would pos
sibly bo even more reconciled to leaving
this sphcro for any other, better or worse.
Sometimes they do know; and then they
need to cxerclso abudant charity.
An American who has lived much
abroad sayH that ho wns present on 0110
occasion when a countrywoman of his
own met n famous poet. She, saw the
object of her Idolatry. Sho rushed for
ward and Btruck nn attitude.
"And Is It possible," sho cried dramat
ically, "that I look upon Drowning?"
Ono feels that Dr. Johnson, In tho same
circumstances, would havo romarked
grullly, "Don't bo a fool, madam!"
Again, thoro aro times when pathos Is
showered only upon tho dead. T. F. 811
leck says that on ono of hlH holiday ex
cursions ho visited Mount Vernon, and
thero In tho grounds ho camo upon a
mtdd!-aeed lady kneeling before a
building nt some dlstanco from tho mon

she wcro In trouble.
"No, sir," she said, "thank you very
much. I am not In trouble, but my

STANDS HY TIIIJ MINIMIS.
Washington Special, Philadelphia Press.
Representative William Council, cf
Scranton, Is very much Interested In tho
pi ogress of tho coal miners Ptrlko. He
In a large operator himself, but In this
contest e.xprcptcs sympathy with tho
strikers.
"Tho miners aro In the right," said
Mr. Connell, this evening, to thfr Press
correspondent. "The operators have al
lowed themselves to enter Into such com
petition as to reduce tho price of conl to
a point at which they could not afford
to pay tho miners fair nnd reasonable

nnd thnt was for tho miners to strike.
"The operutors should never havo al

OVERDOING THE THING.
From the Springfield Republican.
Dr. Pearsons, who has given much to
many colleges, states In a public uddress
that he Is visited by collego presidents
about once a day with the question,
"Why don't you glvo something to us?"
or "Can't you help 111 a llttlo further?"
They fairly camp out In his ynrd, nnd
send telegrams of congratulation on his
birthdays, nnd watch his every move
ment. The average college president of
the day Is getting to bo known to every
person of considerable means, and his
coming Is ns much to bo expected ns
that of tho book ngent. What effect this
must havo on tho colleglato Instruction
Is obvious. Kvery prejudice of the
wealthy Is to bo consulted nnd every
weakness considered. The professor must
sit In tho class-room with one eyo al
ways on tho sources of possible funds.
CHOOSING PARTNERS.

A noso party Is tho latest. Holes nro

THE WAITING ANGEL.
A phantcm Dcatman touches on our
shore.
Hushed be our hearts, and sealed our lips
In prayer;
We did did not hear the dip of hl3 light
oar,
Yet know we, ho waits thero.
No clanking chain, no beating of tho
wave,
No billow brenklng 'gainst tho rock
bound shore;
Ho patient stands and whispers: "O be
brave!
Nor fear the surges' roar."
O dear beloved, thou must go alone.
Alone, with this strange Boatman, on tho
breast
Of that mysterious River nyt e'en ono
Who loves thee, o'er Its crest.
May follow, and support thy wasted form,
Or help to steady thy white, tender feet.
Down toward tho brink of that swift
stream unknown,
This Pilot pale, to meet.
We speechless stay, so powerless to aid,
Though stretching empty hands Into the
dark,
To clasp thine own, yet know thou'rt un
afraid To enter this close barque.
And buffet tho cold waves of the 'wild
deep;
Thou who wast ever fondly cherished
here.
Lest sable Grief should o'er thy spirit
creep,
But cannot shield theo thero.
From thy sick bed, thou must depart
alone;
Thy path Inscrutable we may not sec;
Nor cans't thou tarry for our plaintive
moin,
Tho Rontman waits for theo.
Alone! alone! out o'er tho starless sea!
No ono to hnll theo crossing to you side.
No voice to greet, till In Eternity,
Thy soul Is glorified.
Wo dumbly sit, and watch where thou
hast Iain,
All animate with Life's most precious
wlr.e,
To find a marble cist, chiseled by Pain
Rut Heaven r.nd Peace are thine.
