Mr. Pnlzcll would make nn excellent senator. 111m toomlncnce In the houe uotilil follow him Into the other chain ber and his notable gift of oratory would assure for him mi attentive hearing. It la also believed that his In dustry and exportnesis In looking after i lie varied departmental Interests of constituents would tell as favorably la the tipper body ns It has told In the lower. Hut Senntoi tjuay Imp so law an nd runtime of pilorltv over Mr. Dnlzeil iliut It Is linrdlv woith while to con sider tho merits or the AllcKheny a plmnt'.s candidacy. Of course thorn v ho are piejudleed nwalnst Colonel ijuny will not iiKiee with us. but It Is ii fael that he. too, has boon a must "illcleiit and successful senator, uecoin illshliiT as much roi his constituents and oxeiclslnu as potent though per haps not always as conspicuous an In lluenco upon the shaping of legislative policy n nny other nuin In public lire. The rormal eiitrnnee or -Mr. Dalzeli into the contet will enable the oppo sition to Quav to coiict .itrnte upon a strmiK and popular man. It will draw i lie lines lightly and cause a show of bindfi. riut the result Is not In doubt. Juiiy will have a safe- majority in next Tuesday evenhiK's caucus.whleh means that ho will be to-elected senator on Joint ballot of the legislature on .Ian. 17 unless In the interval the men who arc on his trail shall succeed In kid mipplns him or In abducting a score m two or Ills legislative supporters. It Is calculated that the sort coat smoke nuisance In I'ittrburg costs an nually $3,000,000. Yet Heranton toler ates a similar abomination. "Agin the Government," .rter much cogitation tho ntjres--i nial piogramino of the anti-expau-doiilHlM has been llxed. According to Wlll'nin U. Otitis, the Washington cor reapnndent, they will not attempt to prevent the rntilUntion of the peace, tivnty, but will organize for the pur pose of bringing pressure to bear upon congress to defeat what they rpect Mill bo the colonial policy of the admin istration. They disavow any Intention or desire to turn the Filipinos back to Spain, but will advocate their separa tion from til" 1'nlled Slates under In dependent republican' forms of govern-ln-Mit as soon ni pos-slblo, imposing as a nubile debt upon the l'hlllppine Isl ands the $20,000,000 which is provided ns Indemnity in the peace tmaly. They propose to follow thr same plan toward I'ubu and 1'orto Itlco unless the in habitants of tile latter Maud shall voluntarily and with unanimity apply for annexation. As compensation for our good uiiiecs in relieving them from the yoke of Spain the people tit Cuba, l'orto Hleo and the Philippines will bo asked to cede to us permanently sulll tient land for toallng and repair sta tions foi the- navy nnd enter into com niorolal ngi cements which will give, the 1'nll'il Stales n monopoly or at least n grtat ndv.mtnge In tueir tr.ide. "The llisi sup. ' adds Mr. Curtis, "will be to pievetit tlie p.lssag" of the pendhig- bill tc letirganlze and Increase Hie army, on the ground that It will not be neeestar unltss a colonial Pol-k-v is adopted. Ay n substitute they will otter a Mil providing for the en listment ol fii',000 men foi a term or two yens, by which time they believe th" eniiincliiat'd coloub s can take care of themselves. Their chief points with t'ae labor people will bo tho expense to the tnxpayeis end the peril of tho standing army to the liberties of tho people, and they will endeavor to ex cite their apprehension lest it may ho used to Intimidate organized labor and the fil'O exeuise of tho rights ut tsuf rrago at the polls. They claim to poo dangers of u dictatorship, a tempta tion to tho president to prolong hU nfliclal power by the ure of military force, as Is often done In the South American republics. Another strong irgument is the danger from Immigra tion, They nigue that If we take tli Filipinos as colonists we will be com ,elled to give them freo nccess to tho hospitality of this country, and that is soon as they acquire sufliclent lntelll ;etico to understand tha advantages of living In tho United Slates they will lour In here by tho millions In search of employment. The danger from the mportatlon of tho products of heathen labor will bo used, and the fear that tho beet root and cunu sugar Induntiios which wo have expended so much to encourage will bo destroyed." Tho Brent trouble with this pro grainmo Ik that It is insincere. No antl-oxpaiislonlst has any defuiite In formation as yet on which to base n. belief that tho Institution of indepen dent governments in tho Philippines would bo pobttlhlo or prnctlcabln at this lima or at any other time. It irrny ho that such a belief will be warranted by loter advices and events, In which case President McKlnloy would be as quick as any American to any: "Iet the Filipinos Iir Independent." Hut it Is not warranted now; and its fornut lutlon under present oinuntslancos li notoriously n more makeshift of "agln-Ihe-govcrnmcnt" politicians whoso trado will be gono unless they can Boon rig Mil s.otiii' catchy now Iiseuc, As for tho argument In reference to Immigra tion, It the Filipinos tiro lit to cxcrclc Political Independence; at hotn there would peem to be no especial dunger in permitting then to enter Ameiltan territory: but whether thc arc lit or unfit, regulation of this detail Is n sim ple matter. An for the perils Involved In an Increased army up to tho limit of one regular or two regulars for every 1,000 civil Ions, thev are all !n your eye nnd the men who offer these ridiculous nrEUmenttj must laugh In noetet tlutl slon of their owe. audacltv. Itepoitc. rocolvcd from New Voik In dicate an epidemic of the poisoning mnnla which Is almost as dangerous as tlie propensity for pending Infernal machines that cropped out several years ap,i. Th publication of the do tails of the celebrated ilotklti case, In which two women In Delaware were fatally no'smitd by candy sent from San Francisco, has doubtless had Its effect In arousing the dormant deviltry In the minds of the mentally disordered i'Ihmom, and other attempts may be looked for In the near future. Anony mous packages, like anonymous letters, should be treated with suspicion. A Spanish Trick. The surrender by the Spaniards to the Philippine insurgents of the city and province of Hollo after n treaty luul been signed ceding this territory to the t'ulted States stands out as a con spicuous act of bad faith, thoroughly In keeping with Spanish custom. So far as Spain Is concerned wo have con cluded this matter and can afford to Ignore the nffront. If tho disposition exl.'its to get even, time will doubtless supply ninple opportunity. The case with reference to the Insur gents stands on a different footing. I'ntll the United States has dellnltely formulated Its ultimate policy affecting the Philippines there cannot within their boundaries lie two Jurisdictions, one recognized only by a part of the native population and the other held responsible by the world. Though wo should finally decide to concede to the Tngalos of luzon a sovereignty ns In dependent as Is to be that of the com ing republic of Cuba, during the inter val preceding Its organization and In stallation tlie authority of tho United States as asserted by its military olllc lals would have to be supreme. There Is no escape from this without sncii llce of nil principles and precedents' of International law. The United States does not bear Ill will against tho forces commanded by Agulnaldo. At the same time it does not recognize them as allies or as the representatives of a created govern ment. Until the question of sovereignty Is settled these armed natives lmift yield to our commands or be regarded as public disturbers, needing discipline by force. Hence it Is that the Import ant port city of Hollo, which Is now held by the insurgents in gift from the Spaniards, Is to be occupied by a de tachment from tho army of General Otis, with or without Aguinaldo's con sent. The Cleveland judge and the Cleve land nttorney who were recently ac cused of engaging In private specula tions In litigation on the divvy prin ciple are to be tried. It Is high time.

Porter In France, and White in Germany, may be said lo be In a healthy condition, and In n fair way to Increase Its strength In Hie state and 'ho nation." Soldiering hi tho Philippines Is evidently not nn uninterrupted dream, Judging from a letter sent by u member of the First Cnlolndo volunteers to tho Chicago Rec ord. In this the writer says: "Two com panics of our regiment do outpost duty. The outposts ale merely rice swamps knee deep In wnter nnd without shelter of nny sort. The guards are compelled to stand up for twenty-four hours, for they would drown If thev tried to He down. This work Is unnecessary. The natives ate not peeking to trouble us. Besides, they could conio into Manila from a hundred different points If they oo desired. Resides outpost duty nnd ieg ulnr drills wo must do our regular guard duty, about every seventh day, and reg ular police and fatigue dutv every other day. Our food is brought from our quar ters and always reaches us cold, wet and unlit to eat. That furnished by the com missary consists of salt pork, bacon, corneil beef, beans, canned beer, lice, sour bread (baked In Chinese shops) and rank coffee, the beans of which uro burned outside and given within. It is enough to turn gold black. We have 'kicked' repeatedly and were promised better, but have succeeded In getting worse. It Is an actual fact that more than hair or our company spend theii 113 a month ror rood, which we buy Trom na tives. Rain comes down In buckctrtils tvery night and ulmost every day. Two weeks ago our regiment hud to march a dlstanco of three miles in one of the heaviest rains of the year for the pur post; of holding dress parade. We nre compelled to take a largo dose of qui nine every morning." This was written Oct. . It gives us pleasuio to observe that Senator-elect John A. W'cntz, of Mont gomery county. Is u gentleman of excep tional discernment. In a lecent address before an educational body he thus nhly championed the cause of the dally news paper In the school "Let us get away from tho sentimental writings of moral llctlon In our schools in a measure ut least, and introduce as a helpmate 'he bright, iicallstlc and epigrammatlcal public Journals, which gather and dis seminate the happenings of each hour and day, and vitalize by their teachings the mind and heart of man by unfoldlnc to him a knowledge of what Is going on In village, city, county, state and nation, thus Importing to the world such Instruc tion as is needful for the advancement of tlie social nnd commercial life of our nation. It is nn Incontrovertible truth that more practical knowledgo can be ob tained by tlie reading of newspapers than from any other source decidedly more than from the reading of the light and meaningless literature tji.it makes up the average school reader. Our papers arn bilmful of bright and attractive read ing, the produce of the pen of writers whose ambition to excel In the work of their calling in life knows no bounds, who come In contact with every form and olmse of life, whose Intellectuality grows brighten and brlgther with each advanc ing year, nnd their power to guide and di rect the affairs of men nnd nations is becoming more nnd more apparent as time progresses." Fiank Lombard, of San Francisco, who bus Just returned from Manila, tells a good story of Admiral Dewey. He says: "In Cavito thero are no dockage facilities. Vessels Ho at anchor and native freight boats, called "enscies,' carry tilings to nnd from tlie shore. One of the native olllclals contracted with Dewey to carry goods to the llngshlp. After doing his dutv lie dressed himself in tho latest Eu roptrn fi.shlon to visit tho ndmlral. When i he pn-sciiK l Ids bill Dewey remarked that tlieii wen i.nnerous overcharges vvnich he could in. i ,i,i.. The captain protested thai the .iiimli il was wrong. Dewey po litely n plied Unit he would pay the orig inal bill nothing more. Mistaking tne quiet manner of the admiral, tho frelgnt er became) insulting nnd Insisted upon payment. With a slight movement or the band tho ntlinlrul remarked to the watch: 'Drop this man overboard," nnd In n min ute the plug hat was Homing In Cavito bay, while tho Insolent native was swim ming to his vessel," An nwrul example or tho rale of the man who hauls down tho American Hag appealed in the audience, that greeted tho president ut Macon, Ga., thu other day in tho person of James H. Ulount, "Para mount" Ulount, whom President Clove, land sent to Honolulu for that purposo, ami who passed Into contempt ami then Into oblivion. He represented the Macon distilct In congress for several terms, wiih chairman of important committees nnd one of the most influential men in tho house, but his constituents refused to re elect him, and people nt Macon told me that since he teturned from Honolulu he could not bo elected dog-catcher In any village In Georgia, Ho Is a lawyer by profession, nnd still has nn ofhco In Mneon, but does not appear In tho courts, und Is allowed to enjoy his own sucluty in the seclusion of his plantation.

Wilting of tho Into Senator Morrill W. E. Curtis says: "Mr. Morrill has probably oceuplotl less sraco p. the Cougiusslou.il Record than any of his colleagues.

Copper, former principal of tlie Kdlnburo Slate Normal school, preaonti tho subject of better pay for school teachers from tho standpoint of a business calculation. He says: "Unless teachers lecclvo better remuneration they cannot afford to make preparations to be come educators. 1 costs an economical student attending normal school $230 u your for board und tuition, and Incident als. Four yearr will cost $1,000 In money, besides the student's) time. No young man or woman can nfford to Invest Jl.'KW In a normal eilucntlon to teach in our stutu at $120, J150 or even $200 per year In wages." Since Chtlstmus, says the New York Sun, there hnve been ten failures report ed of concerns that made n specialty ot goods Intended for holiday presents, Some of those concerns carried large stocks, and were entitled to the designation "big." In one or two Instnnres the stocks were valued at more than $2.7l,oW. The no ticeable thing about each of the collapsed concerns Is that It did not advertise In the newspapers. The stores that did ad vertise wero crowded with customers from tlie commencement of the holld.iv season to tho hour of closing the night befoie Christmas. They nil report the greatest holiday business in years. MY HUSBAND'S PIPE. When lights arc lit and evening blazes dance. And daytime cares forgotten lor tho nonce. My hushand lights his pipe. No protest do I make of "cut tains" rare. Or that old plaint, "tobacco In the luUr." My husband's soul Is ripe And mellow us u pippin that has hung. Sun-kissed, wliero happy honey bees have sung Whene'er he lights Ills pipe. Willi slippered feet and home-made dressing-gown Ho strides along: oftlmes it smile, a frown Perchance may.jcross. his face. His thoughts on tilings or moment some time turning, He nothing says, but with his pipe u-burnlng Keeps up his measured pace Through hall nnd dining-room and library And back again, where ho can smile at mo Whene'er he lights his pipe. Sometimes he whiffs and sings, 'Lead, kindly light." Fine taste has lie ho wants no ballads trite. No Row'ry minstrelsy. Ho clears his throat and sings another verse. And then calls out to me In accents terse, "That's prettv good for me." And, then, mayhap, bo catches me n-snnl- lug Over that way he has or ca.ro beguiling Whene'er he lights his pipe. Sometimes he looks through half-closed lids at me Until I lay my sewing down, widlo he Iilows tho blue smoke about. And on tho arm of Ills great chair 1 sit And In his bund my own 1 gently knit And then old Tlmo we flout And live ngaln In young love's paradise, Silent with Joy, until he sudden cries, "By Jove; my pipe Is out!" Oh, happy meerschaum! and. oh, happy man! Tho soother and the soothed, I envy you: For tho" I ii m that woman called the "new," Yet naught In my horizon do I scan That promises the comfort und the cheer Such us he finds when twilight settle? drear And husband lights his pipe.
