MH. WANAMAKKK'S suc cess in throwing bouquets at himself. In the columns of the papeis In sym pathy with his advertising depart ment does not entiioly satisfy out pha.p of the public's lnteiest In his lecent conversation with the director ot public safety of Philadelphia. If we lecoUfct the vetslon of that conversa tion vouched for by Mr. Wanamaker, the dltector of public safety said he had been looking up Mr. Wanamakei's lecoid both in this country and in Kiiiupc, and had found It vulnerable. This Is stit prising, when ivo consider how active John Wnnninaker is in at tacking the iccords of otheis and how virulent he Is In (.ermine of those who do not minister to his political ambi tions or Inclinations. That there could bo anything vulnerable in the iccotd of a man like Mr. AVanamaker Is leputed to be; that professions such as his could go with peifotmances of a na ture to engage tile attention of the dl tector of public safety of Philadelphia would not h.ivp been ci edible had not Mr. Wanamaker inlected tills dUqulct ing thought Into the public mind hlm-s-clf. Now that the Idea lias been put Into cliculation, tlieie Is bound to be a widopie.ul desiic to know the tiuth. On week davs, ninld business cares, Mr. Wanamaker woiks for the put idea tion of Pennsylvania politics and on Sundays, wo believe, engages with ST.tl in tin1 Inculcation of right moials In the young. Ale we to believe fiom Mr. Wnnamakei'h version ot his talk with English that English was coricct In pronouncing his personal record ul nciable; or Is It only the opponents of this distinguished it-former who have tecoids apptopiiate as law material for the Thomas U. Wanamaker type of Journalism? Published portraits suggest that Mi. Hryan's popullstlc tunning mate, ('hat lea A. Towne. i a man of scolar ly appearance. Despite tills, however, befoio tho campaign Is over, Mr. Towne will piobably realize that lie has had much to loam. Post Check Money. A PILL TO substitute for the present papei cunency In hinall denomination what aio known as post check notes is nou bef-oicongiess and those tivoiable to 'ts adoption are advised to made tbeli wishes known to their reptesentatlvos and (.enittois. it Is woith while to tepeat it pre vious, explanation of post check notes. In the bill now pending It Is pioposed to icpilnt all $1.00, $2.00 nnd VM bills now In exlstenie and to have the new Issue made out with blank spaces in which any prison, upon attaching to tlio 1)111 n two cent stamp, may write Hit- name of a paitlcular firm or poi ton. Thus Indoibcd, the bill be comes a check, payable only to that llrm or person upon pioper ldentilita Hon. Once paid, the chock Is canceled and a new note- Is IssikmI in Its place. When the blank spates nre not filled In, the nott cliculates just as our piesent paper cutrency does. The bill also piovides for fractional post check notes in sums of 5, 10, 15, 2." and HO .-snts, for convenience when sums nre tri bo transmitted bv mail. Un!der the-new system, when one wi'shrs to send money in small amount, fi.00 for Instance, by mulbto subscribe for t magazine or newspaper, pay a bill, oi transact any of the multi tudinous pleceH of business ncctssaiy oy letfer, he will take a $2.00 hill from his poiltelbooU, write on Its face tho name of the perhon or thm to be sent to, the city nnd state, and affixing a two centtiostnge stamp In tho square Indicated (one cent stamp for the frac tional bills,), sign his -Initials in ink, with clnto; the Initials and date to cross and cancel the stamp. Thus tho piece of currency which, up to this time, has passed from hand to hand is negotiable money, has been instant ly transformed Into a personal check on the United States government for $2.00, as .safe for transmission as any piece of exchaug?. This Is enclosed in a letter to the person or Arm desired, and when received Is deposited, with other checks, In the bank, or can bo collected by tho receiver upon identi fication at bank'or postofllce. The te dious and inconvenient trip to the postofllce Co secure a money-order la done away with, nnd u convenient, safe, and Instantly Available form of trnnemlEBlblo money U supplied, with which tho American public can tram act business by mall, 'which now ag gregates, In the email sums represent ed by enclosed postage stamps, silver jjtoiej, morv orders, xjreBs orders and other Inconvenient nnd sometimes unsafe mediums, upwards of a billion dollais per year. , At present tho average fee for do mestic money orders, according to the last annual rcporX of tho postolllco de partment, Is 0.0592 nnd the cost to the government In handling tho or ient Is 3 cents In third nnd fourth clans postolllces, plus tho cost of print ing. The money order oyRtem wduld still be used for sending sums In ex cess, of $5, but on sums less than S3 tho postolUco department would bo protected against loss by the revenue It would derive from tho sale of the stamps which are to go on the pro posed post checks Now many per sons send money through the malls In f i actional ctintncy or In oncdollar and two-dollar bills, on which the gov ernment derives no revenue. Under tho post check plan, thc3o sums would require stamps and thus a new source of postat levenuo would bo revealed. Tho post cheek bill has the indorse ment of tlio postolllco department nnd Its enactment would undoubtedly in stitute a very welcome public convenience. Nearly double tho value of last year's exports of American made loco motives has been exported tills year, and the end Is not yet. Expansion can't bo stopped. Probe Deep nnd Often. Till: RESOLUTION of Senator llacon calling upon tho senate committee on rela tions with Cuba to make a thorough investigation of all receipts and expenditures of money' In that island since its occupancy by the United States, is, of course, a campaign dodge, Intended to lead to the belief that the postal f lauds arc not tjio only fiauds which have characterized Ameiican regulation of Cuban affalis. It is so timed as to dove-tall nicely with the Dcmociatlc campaign yarn that the administration is trying to hush up the postal fiauds. The only foundation for tills latter stoiy Is tlio fact that now that thotough investigation is being made by trustwotthy expeits along fumigh different lines to bring out the truth tho authorities at Washington and in Havana have declined to pio claim the details of the plans ot detec tion In advance. They are going to reseive their talking until they can talk with all the facts in their pos session. Still, if Senator llacon and tho senate committee on relations w Ith Cuba want to do any Investigating on their own account, eveiy facility should bo ac corded to them. The Republican paity Is not afraid of Investigations. Once in a while it puts trust In a rogue and he betiays It, which is u inisfortuno common to all mankind. Hut as par ties go the Republican patty is grati fied to have Its administrative work compaied with that ot any other party In the business of govei nment. Let the probers proceed. The more tho menier; for every defect which this kind of campaign detective woik can fen et out theie will be disclosed a dozen vlitues. Lieutenant Drum, one of the young est oillceis in the United States army, has already been ptomoted twice for gallantry in battle. In some lespects Lieutenant Dium Is hard to beat. Concerning Doctored Butter. A: NNOUNCKMnNT is made that the state daliy and tood commissioner will prosecute the opei.itor of i crCameiy at Eagle Point, in Perks county, for using what are known as coal tat colois In coloilng butter. The oung child of Wilson Smith, n farmer living near this cicamery, diank some of this coloilng matter from a bottle which was kept In the cieameiy and died sixty houis afterwanl with symp toms of poisoning. This Is the third death loported In Pennsylvania in three years duo to swallowing coal tar colois used in coloilng butter and while tho amount of coloring matter In the quantity of colored butter which an individual is llkclv to eat nt one time Is not sirfllclent to cause death, It is declared by icputablo chemists to be Injurious to health and If this Is tt lie its use should coitainly bo Interdicted. Theie Is one kind of coloilng matter for butter which Is pronounced harm less by expei ts. This Ih annatn, tie lived fiom tho pulp of tho seeds of a ceitain shrub which glows In South Ameilca and the West Indies. Annato, however, is more expensive than coal tar and its dye is not so lasting, henco many butter-makois vyho wish in win ter tltno to imitate tho natuial yellow of the summer-time product use the coal tar dyes, tcgaidless of conse quences, and It Is high time that tho rough hand of the law should descend upon this vicious practice. Thete Is really no sense In coloilng butter at all. llutter In Its natuial state Is b?-4 Hut If the maiket Is foolish enough in demand a coloicd product, the dye useu should be haimless nnd tlio use of any other Kind should be made a special misdemeanor, ceverely punishable. Moie concessions have been granted Ameicans at Constantinople by tho Sultan. In fact Abdul is willing to grant the Americans almost anything but cold cash. r-ops on the Warpath. I N TIIBIR "desiie to avert tho subveislon ot free institutions by corpotAte and iuipeilallstlo power," the Uryan wing of the Popullstt. have adopted a platform which Is eel tainiy n study In vagaries. All tho old ones and a number of tho now ones nie thete. The platform de mands a graduated InconiP nnd inher itance tax, postal savings banks, five homesteadi for every settler on gov ernment land, government ownership and operation of railroads and trustB, the initiative and referendum, Ameri can sui render to Agulnnldo, municipal ownership of public utilities and dlieot election of United States senators; ton tends tint tho tariff should be taken off all articles conttollcd by trusts, that the Philippine war is n wur of contmest, and that a btandlng army is n standing menace; and denounces government by Injunction, the use of federal Hoops to uuppiess riot and "the wholesale system of disfranchise ment by coercion mid Intimidation" adopted in certain southern dates; and reaches Its grand, climax in tho fol lowing portion, which drilcs abridg ment: leoled, That wt, denounce the nit of Manli 1J, 1D0O (known .11 the currency roldnn act), as the culmination of a long wtiea of con.pltliclcj In deprhc the pioplc of their constitutional rlplili otrr the money of the nation and relo cate to the gigantic- momy tiu-t tho control of the puro, and hence of the people. Wo de nounce tlili ait i 1 irst, Kor maMne all money olillcitloitt, do-rtw-s.Ho nnd forchrn, pa? aide In Bold coin ur Its n;ultalent, thus enormously lncroalng tl.c bur iluu of the- debtors and enrlihln? the i million.

Seventh, Tor fluking down the greeubuk In order to force the people to borrow three hun dred and fctty-six millions of doll.irs more from tho Innks, nt an annual tost of over twenty million of dollars. While birring out the money of the constitu tion this law opens the Vrlntln minis of the triasury to the free coinage of bank paper money, to enridi the few and Impoverish the man. We pledge anew the People's party nov rr to cwse the agitation until this eighth finan cial eompiiacy is blotted from the ata'ute books, tho Lincoln greenback restored, the bonds all paid and all corporation money tor over retired. Upon this crazy platform William Jennings Bryan beckons to Intelligent Democrats of the old school and asks tbem to vote for him for president! How are tho mighty fallen! It Is asserted upon good authority that the profits of Mrs. Flske during the theatrical season Just closing have exceeded $90,000 while those of Rich ard Manslleld have been larger. In asmuch as both of these players repre sent artistic conscience and Intelli gence, their success financially Is a public advantage. Iioth chetlsh the idea of a play-house in New York city to bo permanently devoted to the de velopment of; the higher tortus of tho dinma; and it is to be hoped thit tile ideals of each will speedily bo teal lzed. Something of this kind is ur gently needed as an antidote to tho superabundant tiash which defiles a large pait of Ameiican theatricals.

Colonel Sargeant tells many enjoyable war stories. Once, when Instructing tome men, lis asked: "When ou arc on the skirmish line, nnd suddenly encounter the enemy, what woulel )ou do.?" "Kail flat." "And what next?" "Stay there." On another occasion he was questioning a man respect ing his absence for six hours. "I was chasing a 1'hlllpplno an hour, lr." - "How about the other flee hours?" "The l'hlllpplno and hit friends were chasing me, sir." The Weight of Precedent. T llt'Iti; IS a story reported as having been told by Colonel Prcd N. Dow, of Portland, Me., which shows well how customary usage "broad ens down from precedent to precedent." And no lei plainly does It show tho weight of tho exceptional precedent, says the Youth'! Com panion. Colonel Dow ones visited friends at Qiiebc-, and while seeing the tights of the city and its sirroundlngs he took a public carriage to visit the Kalis of Montmoierey At a half-way bouse on the road the driver pulled up his horse and remarked, "The carriage alwa.va stops here," "For what purpose!" asked tho colonel. 'Tor the passengers to treat," was the reply. "But none of ua drink, and we do not intend fa treat." The driver had dismounted, and was waiting by the- roadildc. Drawing himself up to bis full height, he said, imprcssiv ely. "I have driven this carriage noev more than thirty years, and this has happened 4iut once before. Some time ago I had for a fare a crank from Portland, Me., by the name of Neal Dow, who said ho wouldn't dilnk; and what was more .to the point, he said he wouldn't pay for an.vbody ele to drink," Tlie son found himself oecuplng the same ground as that on which bis father had stood.

COMPLIMENTARY. Washington Lcltej In Philadelphia Press. One ot tho men most talked of for the next gubernatorial nomination in Pennsylvania, Is Representative Connell, ol Scrantcm. II he wcro to make a, campaign independent of tho ma chine the opinion here is that he would be ono of the strongest men In the field. He has always been friendly to Quay, but Is believed not to be In full sympathy with tho machine bearing cjuay't name. Mr. Connell haf been endeavoring to secure harmony in the party and has preiehed the evangel of compromise to thor oughly that his friends claim his nomination for governor vould mean a political millennium in Pennsylvania. Mr. Connell, aside from politics, has many ele ments of strength at a candidate. A heavy coal operator and a large emplocr of labor, be never had any trouble with bis thousands of workmen. He began life as a driver boy in a coal mine at a salary of 75 cents a day, and al though ho has to use seven figures In expressing his wealth today, no one eTcr thought of charging him with obtaining a single dollar of it lllegltt mMcl, or at the expense of any onc'a suffering. He is high in the councils of the Methodist Epis copal church and is a liberal contributor to all religious and charitable objects. These are a few of his qualities now being enumerated by his friends, who ore coaching hira as a likely candidate. The only thing urged against him Is his age. lie will be 73 on the 10th of next September, but any ono who ob serves his movements and his work would throw oil twenty ycara in guessing his age.
