fact that even vvliete Democratic suc-

Thcie may not be any feasible tern

fact thut thu coupling of congressional,

often beclouds the real Issues In ench

Involve issue distinct fiom those til

these Issues should be considered by
the people at such time nnd under such
circumstances as would Insuio their

The Dastard in Politics.
Looking over the utate situation In
the light of the election telutns, the
most conspicuous fact which chal
lenges attention Is that the Wanamak
ei strike at Quay hurt nobody jo much
as President McKlnlcy. Stone Is safe
by n magnificent plurallt ; the legls
latuio is Republican with Quay'"
fi lends conti oiling a majoiity of the
caucus and aide to lenoiulnate the
senior senator at will; the onlv con
siderable damage clone by the Wann
maker levolt consists of the defeat of
six Republican nominees for con
gress In districts previously held by
the Republican paity. The icsponsi
billty for the loss of these districts,
which if continued in Republican hnnds
would havo provided a safe working
majoiltv in the Fifty-sixth congress,
lefts almost wholly upon John Wana
maker. the piofessed filend of McKln
lcy and foi nier member of n Republican
national cabinet; for it was ho who
chiefly wo iced up the disaffection
which gave them to the Demociats.
He and his nbettoi-s chose a most
Inoppoituno time foi the piosecutlon of
their campaign of levenge. They knew
that the political contiol of the Fifty
sixth congiess was trembling in the
balance. They knew that justice to
the president as well as tho highest
welfaie of the nation called lor the
election of u congiess politically in
sympathy with the national adminis
tration. They knew, too, that a malic
lous assault upon the Republican state
ticket, prejudicing the minds of the
voters and developing discontent with
Republicanism generally, could not fall
to icact oppressively upon the Republi
can campaign for the election of con
giessmen. Yet they dellbeinlely chose
lo sacrifice piesldent and concfiess to
the venting of their peisonal grudge,
and they shall not be permitted to es
cape the tesponslbllltj.
Dr. Reed In his jecent speech in tills
city spoke of .Mr. Wanamaket's tteach
eious cotuse with leferenee to the con
gressional ticket as the act of "a das
tard in politics," adding that the ehai
acteilz.Ulon n,b not uuchai liable.
Those who know the leal John Wnnn
inuker, who are uccjuaiuted with the
discrepancies between his jiublle pro
fessions and his actual deeds, and who
estimate with iicctuacy bis uithless
iJeUWhiies-s, which would stop ut noth
ing to gratify ambition or levenge, do
not need to be told that Dr. Reed's ex
pression was thotoughly In consonance
with the facts. Those who have taken
Mr. AVaiidinnker at his ow n valuation
aio recommended to sciutlulze the con
sequences of his last political ciusade
and ascertain if they couohorate his
expressions of loyalty to the Republi
can national adiuinlstiation.
Unlike some otlut nations that could
be mentioned, Unglaud evidently be
lieves In prepailng for war befote war
begins.
As to the Matter of Loyalty,
Says the Philadelphia Pi ess: "The
paity division Jn the national house ot
representatives Ip so nanow, uccoidlmr
to the latest lepoits, that It Is possible
the distilctH lost to the Republicans in
ibis state may be the means of giving
the opposition the contiol. That would
most seilously uileet upon the Repub
lican management In Pennsylwinla."
When you nio looking for things in
reflect upon "the Republican manage
ment In Pennsylvania" It Is eilde-tly
easy to manufac tine them. Hut It
wasn't the Republican maiiajjement
that hurled dally liiebtandt among: the
Republican otcts, made legislative
fusions with the Demociats and other
wise did everything' that could be done
to foment dissension and complicate
the election of RepuhlUau congressmen
hi Pennsylvania. It was-John Wnna
mnker and his chief new -paper helper,
the Philadelphia Press.
When Wnnamaker personally at
tacked Congiessmen Council and
Hiumni, while they weie candidate
for ie-eleciioii. the Pi ess said no word
111 lebuke, although theie weie good
leasons why It of all nf-wspap"'rs should
wish to see Republicans letain contiol
of coususs. When the Ptess itself at
tacked Congiessman WIlllaniH. of I.u
zerne, as It did in the foreparl of the
campaign In a matter lonecinlnc; the
Schuylkill legislative ticket, it did not
aid that woithy gentleman In ltlx ch's
pciute and, we regret to add, unavail
ing light for u-electlon. it aided Jils
Demociatle opponent.
The Republican management In l'auu
sylvanln was far moie loyal to the' Re.
publican congressional ticket In the late
campaign than wtm the journal formei
ly edited by tho present accomplished
poutmaster general of the United States.

It has been dlscoveied by scientific

for which the state Is noted. Tho Jer

the case eluewheie leinalus to be seen,
but If the soft dilnks an- as highly

the average citizen, of temperate nab

Andicw Carnegie has done much for
the "tale of Pennsylvania and In his
wide philanthropies nnd progressive
Idean has made his name one of which
American Is proud, but either his inoro
or less extended residence nbioad Iibh
Influenced his theories or he Is nai row
er of mind than his countrymen had
believed, else he would not bo so em
phatic In the statement that terii
toilal expansion on the pait ot this
country Is "vamplie Imperialism." His
chief argument seems to be thnt, hav
ing' won our pioud position among na
tions by a strict adherence to conser
vative tradition we are fools to aban
don them at this lime, Mr. Carnegie's
Impassioned Ideas on this subject would
scarcely he cherished with so much
favor If they were applied to his vast
business inteiests, which he suicly
does not urge shall be controlled by
the systems In vogue a half century
In the past. L'ainegle In business Is
nothing If not Imperialistic.
A Reading woman cieated a ruction

lo sec her husband's vote. 'When the

shouted thnt he had promised to vote
for Dr. Swallow and bhe meant to see
thut he did so. It was onlv after the
most solemn asseverations on his pait
that her wrath was appeased and she
decided to ft home; not, however,
without a Inst llngeilng suspicious look

Umporor William's tiip to Jerusalem

A DISINTERESTED OPINION.
From the Rlmlra Advertiser.

"downed the whole lot." It Is hugely a
personal tilimipb. Colonel Stone's iccoid
as a soldier, cc i'grt'sman, lawyer anil
