SCRAN'TOX, APHII, 22, 1902. ,
For governor of Pennsylvania, on thej
Issue of an open field and fair play,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject lo the will of the Itepubllcnn
musses.
Ail Interesting Decision.
-f -vY I.AYMKN the technicalities
I -g of the law are often held
M 3 In low esteem: and In the
Hlooming Grove game case
the essential point In the minds of the
public was that seven men of intelli
gence and f-oclal position, to whom the
community had a right to look for ex
' emplai-y conduct, came Into Pennsyl
vania from adjoining states, either
carelessly or wilfully violated the wise
and necessary laws which this com
monwealth has enacted lor the protec
tion of Its game, and the.n secietlvely
attempted lo take away the unlawfully
killed animals.
They did this In a manner wlilih also,
as we learn from Judge Aichbald's
opinion, the full text of which we
printed in yesterday's issue, narrowly
escaped violating a law of congress,
Hy virtue of technical construction
they escape fioin the penalty whicl
their conduct richly merited. Had thej
offered tho packed trunks and satchel
containing the unlawfully gotten gami
to a common carrier instead of await
lug to have them put as luggage onl
the train, their punishment under the
I.acey act could have been severe. The
fact of their not having completed what
from a legal standpoint constitutes the
full Intent to evade that act saves them
so far as the machinery of justice is
concerned: but tho publicity arising
from their arrest and trial constitutes
a wholesome restraining influence upon
other offences of this character and per
Imps satisfies moral requirements.
In this connection we desire conspleit
ously to commend Dr. Kobfus, chief of
the Pennsylvania game commission, for
his courage In bringing this ease to
pablic notice. Though he has failed to
convict he has accomplished the moie
Important result of arousing public In
terest In the need ot Increased pre
caution to protect our game animals.
True sportsmen from other states are
always welcome in Pennsylvania lor
they will not come into this luiumon
wealth to llout its laws; but such men
as wore at bar In this liloomiug fliovo
rase will lecelvu scant eourtcsv In tlin
future unless they shall take warning
trom tills cxpeiience and amend their
ways.
It Is i (-ported that Senator Quay
wants harmony. Nothing Is easier. J.eti
the people have their way.
Never Say Die.
f- T IS URPOUTKU that a number of
I lullueulial liepubliean senator
JL are about to advise Piesldeni
Hoc-evelt to consent. "In the In
tere.st of the nam-." to the dronnlmJ
uf the attempt to enact a mensuie ol
reciprocity with Cuba. As outlined in
published correspondence, the basis o
their advice Is that to persist In thl
purpose will be to force a split In Hit
Hepublicau membership of the sennit
as serious as that which has develoitet
in the house, and Imperil if not lose
Republican cnutiol ol the next congress
It Is nossiblu that thu senatois wlu
tall: in this manner are sluceie. We'
shall accept the view that they aie. It
is possible that they havn reason to
feel that their representations are ae-
oyrftWu -Judgments as to events to
viujbare prpnv$o,illttrv Uut Is there
not'ra converse lo their pioposltlou?
Vfouhl-not -abandonment of the pledge
wjiercby President McKlnley secured
acco"Maii?e"by the Cuban constitutional
convention of tho so-called Piatt
ttiueudjnsit,-A'h:tJ4ally an. American 'pro
tifctorate, also bo perilous to the He
publican party .and .might not, this peril
cafry further than o'ne election?
Letups suppose that General Wood

tulnly and Justly would and lead ulti
mately to u condition of turbulence on

our -own health and comfort; How
would such n condition react upon the
welfare of the Republican party under
whoso udmlnlfe;traUoi , tls brepc) of

ceive the more careful attention,

call It a "merger" these days.

forward the Rood work It has dune until

Tim board's testimonial of i egret at
Captain Atherton's retirement and Its
expression of appreciation Tor the valu
able service he has rendeieil will bo
heartily t-utieurrcd In by the public.
Ills zeal In the promotion of the city's
mercantile and Industrial Interests hus
been untiring, and a large measure of
obligation rests upon board and public
for the successful manner In which ho
has acquitted himself dm lug the period
of his Incumbency. May his successor
be his equal!
It begins to look as though Cieneral
Malvur was the veritable backbone ot
tho Filipino rebellion.
As lu the ease of all combinations, the
bland announcement Is made to the
effect that the steamship merger results
solely from a desire on part of the pro
moters to further the Interests of the
dear public

IN A I.KCTUnU recently delivered
before the school of commerce of
the University of New York, O,
P. Austin, chief ot the bureau of
statistics at Washington, gave some
interesting stutlstlcnl Information con
cerning tho commerce of the United
f'tntos with the countries bordering on
tho Pucllln ocean and Us prospects as
enhanced by an Isthmian canal,
Afpresent tho water dlbtniu-n from
our chief manufacturing centers to Ori
ental markets Is nearly one-half gieatcr
than that which intervenes between
them and our principal Kuropean rivals
for this trade; yet since 1SCS our expoits
to Abln and Ocennla have grown from
$7,500,000 to $ll.r.,COO,000, while those ot
tho United Kingdom, our foiemost
competitor, have Increased only fiom
$310,000,000 to $162,000,000. Thus whllo
Its percentage of increase has been
not iulto DO ours hup been neurly 1,500,
notwithstanding thu disadvantage under
which our exporters have labored on
account ot tho disproportion in freights.
When the Isthmian canal Is opened for
tradlo this disproportion will disappear,
and then thero will bo no, natural ob
stacle to the rapid multiplication of our
dealings with the teeming millions In
habiting the Orient.
The Imports of the great Oriental
countries grouped In n scnil-clrcto about
Manila as n distributing point utuoUnt,
Mr. Austin went on to say, to about $1,
.100,000,000 per annum, or over $100,000,000
a month, of which we now supply nbout
10 per cent., while our European rivals
supply probably B0 per cent. With
direct water communication between
the great producing und consuming
centers of the United States nnd this
enormous market, wo niiiv confidently
expect to supply a much larger propor
tion ot Its rapidly growing Importa
tions, With nn Isthmian canal to give
u direct ull-wafer route from our east
ern seaboard to tho Orient, our oouor
tunitlcs iov an extension of our Oriental
trans-I'icllle commerce will be greatly
Improved, and our facilities for utiliza
tion of thu Pacific as a highway of
commerce will stu pass Hioeo or any
other nation.
The I'nlted Stales now possesses the
chler Island way stations for ports ot
call and cable landings at convenient
Intervals In this vast expanse of waters:
In coast frontage and harbor facilities
It far exceeds any other nation: In
Manila as u great distributing point It
has special advantages In tho markets
of the Orient, and In the currents ot air
and water which flow westwaid from
the Isthmus of Panama uast the Ha
waiian und Philippine Islands, thence
turning northward past the coast of
China and Japan, How toward the east
acioss the north Pacific and down the
western shores of the United States, it
has great natural aids which give it
permanent and material advantages In
the great glowing commerce In this
greatest ot oceans.
In short, tho dream ot Seward that
the Pacific should ultimately be th
utcly be tlip
rlnclpal com
atcs so thot-
highway of the world's prl
merce with the. United St
oiifjhly lu control of Its strategic and
commeiclal features as to make of It
In effect an American lake seems today
much more of a prophecy than a dream.
It Is pleasing to note that Mr. Dole
has convinced the powers at Washing
ton that the Hawaiian gubernatoilul
gripsack is in the right hands.
