What Roosevelt Is Fighting. TO ONLOOKERS at a distance from Washington, tho vital ity of the tight within Re publican ranks against the policy inaugurated by McKinley and loyally seconded by his successor of reciprocity with Cuba has been amass ing. Public opinion as indicated in newspaper utterances, resolutions of representative organizations and, more recently, by party platforms in Repub lican state conventions, Pennsylvania's included, has throughout been unmis takably favorable to the executive rec ommendation. AVhy, therefore, in the face of this condition, persistent and formidable revolt should exist within Republican,' legislative circles has not been understood. Tho mystery remains; but there Is partial elucidation. One of the oldest and best-informed Washington corre spondents, tho Washington editor of the New York Tribune, analyzes the situation by ascribing the opposition to three factors principally financial in fluence, disappointment over patronage and resentment from western cattle men nt tho administration's efforts to abolish tho illegal appropriation of pub lie lands for monopolistic grazing pur poses. Financial Influence is of various kinds. First it was chiefly manifested by the beet sugar interests. Later the beet sugar and sugar refining interests pooled; and they were helped bv tho big trust influences which the president had offended by his railway merger and - beef trust litigation. In a general way all the larger, corporations which oc cupy shaky positions under tho Sher man anti-trust law are directly or In directly lighting to defeat Cuban reci procity because Theodore Roosevelt wants it. nnd as notice to him that they are supreme in tho law-making branch. Disappointment over pntronnge al ways exists, but it is especially keen now because IJoosevelfs way is not Slc Kinlcy's way. .McKInley had an ex ceptional knack of handling jenlous senators so as not to rufllo their feath ers. Roosevelt, on tho contrary, Is Im petuous and pugnacious, He has main tained his prerogative of appointment sometimes assertively. Very frequently he has talked to-senators as senators do not like to bo talked to by one whom they derisively call an "accidental president." In other Instances, ho has offended without Intent, duo to a deficit ofjtuct. To senators whoso view o( public duty Is largely bounded by tho personal pronoun, this invites tho nd- ministration of senatorial discipline. j Tho third factor arises from Kecre ULLjUUsllKQcU'" determination, in I wrUJilie ls,,hoartlly sustained by the J president," that ft few rich owners of ; .western cattle, with railroads and big packing- interests nt their back, shall ', tlbt; fence in hundreds of thousands of 'ffiffarejfiflt's of (h public domain, with -"view"to "securing free grazing and to shutting smaller cattle-growers out. The position of the interior department s that these, fences shall bo removed, to that cattle of nil kinds and brands may graze on public lanclswltliout dis crimination. T)lp threatens a valuable monopoly of many years' growth and !n retaliation the monopolists are lining up such senatoorH as thqy can Influence t onpp?e"puban reciprocity and, If pcjWtWtt.rmt.thb president In a hole, 4jB2Sr3nik'oly 'that If Colonel Roosevelt fwfKted'-'to .eiitor Into a dubious deul with some of these antagonistic Inllu ,3nCMCTh&v could carry the Cuban bill .thiongliHehslly. He has chosen the hop P'W?vcPurPe of standing for what lie Uctiiisrvight.' It Is to bo seen which Sours wU win In Ilia senate, Wo luivo jin -doubt whatever as to which course yvlll win In tho long run, among the jeoole, v ( . -- f IW carping Voice will erjtlelz'e the president's .promotion of Captain Clark, he famous command!' of 'the still .note famous Oregon,-'to be'a'-rear ad. nilrnh Tho Itonor hns been worlhllst won and will bo modestly and becom ingly worn. Tho only sttd recollection Inseparable from It Is that tho commander-in-chief, whoso Immcnstiriibly more dllllctilt responsibility wns dis charged throughout tho Atlantic sea campaign with slgnnl fidelity itnd suc cess, should hnvo liccu hounded by fanatical itbttso Into nil untimely grave, without other reward than the approval of his own conscience. This will be throughout coming years nn Indelible stttln upon American history. Wo notlrc In some of the Republican papers of the state a disposition to cen sure John P. Klkln for not having moved In convention to make Judge Pcmiypackcr's nomination unanimous. We think that In view of the circum stances Mr. Klkln did all that could reasonably bo expected of hlm when ho personally nssured the judge of his cordial support and made a gallant tender of Tils best services. It Is not the disposition of Jlr. Klkln's support ers to bury their faces In the past; and wo advise the gentlemen who were on the winning side to look forward, also. The Republican party in Pennsylvania should be big enough for till Republi cans, and It will not be narrowed by any of Elkln's friends. The Drift Toward Lawlessness. c O.MMISXT1NC. upon the latest sensational scandal, In which a young woman at a fashion able summer resort was drowned In company with a young mar ried man who .had separated from his wife, the drowning following a scries of escapades not to bo reconciled with principles of right living, the New York Tribune says: "There is evidently need of a revival of the unfashionable art of bringing up children. Hoys and girls are growing up to bo lawless. Lacking respect for authority and conventions, they easily lose respect for the virtues which au thority and conventions seek to guard. Laxity In homes and schools, contact under unfavorable conditions of young men and women in business life, the rush, selfishness and bad manners of our crowded streets, shops and public conveyances, all tend to the destruction of that good breeding which commands respect and nurtures modesty." The unfortunate thing about this quotation is that it Is true. Every com munity furnishes abundant proof. Hu man nature as a whole Is probably not worse today, than at prior times; indeed, there is reason to believe that its gen erol average is higher. But there cer tainly is large room for improvement In social manners and morals. Young men and young women, educated in public schools which teach n lot of things imperfectly and few things well, know loo much that they shouldn't know and are deficient in knowledge which is fundamental. In a well-ordered society nothing would be deemed more essential to hap piness In life than genuine respect among men for women, and no phase of education among women would be more emphasized than fitting them for wife hood and motherhood for the part in life assigned by nature and Providence. Yet a large part of the mental energies of young men seems now to be enlisted in the pursuit of dishonorable pleasure, while their sisters and sweethearts in too many instances are taught to rebel against the limitations of their sex and to aspire to careers in which home making and home-keeping play only a minor part. All of this tends to bread artificial social conditions. It bears fruit in mul tiplying divorces, in a declining birth rate, and In a laxity of restraints that every little while culminates In shock ing scandal and tragedy. The veil of reserve seeks to hide these phenomena from public notice or comment; and so ciety, by blindfolding itself, tries to make Itself believe that all is as it should be. But the fact remains as the New York Tribune has stated It. Boys and girls not all, but some, a percen tage far larger than should be when wo remember that this Is the twen tieth century of Christian civilization, are growing up to be lawless. In our owiv. community lessons in anarchy are being put before them. Not only is re straint relaxed over their social life but tho foundations of obedience to law and authority are unsettled beneath their feet, and they are led to follow Impulse and passion In lieu of conscience. Ultimately It will bo straightened out. Rut at what unnecessary cost, were there due perception of the superiority of prevention over cure! But little encouragement for the "original Ilanua men" Is offered by tho senator from Ohio. Canal Prospects. TOMORROW tho senate nt Washington Is expected to vote finally on tho choice of routes for the long hoped for nnd equally long delayed Isthmian canal. So many times has the final voto seemed within reach, only tu be postponed by one or another urtlllcc of tho opposing transcontinental railway Interests, that many now fear another disappointment, and prorcss to see the foundations of one In the conflict which has arisen between the Nicaragua and Panama routes. Until recently nil, or nearly all, canal ndvocates wore avowedly In favor of tho Nicaragua route. Tills wns because tho Nicaragua route had been wcH'ail vertlscd, while It was the general belief that the' Panama route wns In hands which would not let go save on forbid ding terms, Tho various commissions of experts sent to canvnss the situ ation reported in favor of the NIc nraguii route, although tho latest one said that If the Paiiama property could bo acquired nt a reasonable figure It would bo preferable, Proceedings on the part of the United Stales looking to an early beginning of construction work on the Nicaragua right of way brought the Panama people to terms much molo liberal than had been ex pected; nnd, accordingly, tho Walker commission withdrew Its conditional in dorsement of tho Nicaragua route and declared with emphasis In favor of taking tho Panama route. Many of our readers no doubt have posted themselves fully as to tho claims of the respective routes; but those who have not will find the following com pilation Instructive! 1. Hxcavatlon to he done: Nicaragua, S27tT11.60.i cubic yitrdsj Panama, 04,863,703 cubic yards, 2. Quantity of steel required! Nlcnra gun, i(i,50O tons! Pnnninn, lU.fiUt tons. 3. Deepest cuts!

The annual difference of $1,500.1 OOd, capitalized nt two per cent, and add ed to the $5,000,000 of saving on original construction, makes the Panama route the cheaper by nearly $"0,000,000. ".

Both quotations are from the isthmian canal commission's report. 11.

It). Traffic tlmo from cither Now York or New Orleans to the South Pacific shorter by the Panama route for all kinds of ships. It Is also contended that the danger of seismic disturbance is less by the Panama than by the Nicaragua route; and about the only substantial advant age possessed by the northern way Is the greater salubrity of Nicaragua's climate. The question of the validity of the Panama title has been raised; but It Is technical rather than substan tial. Should Uncle Sam decide o build by tho way of Panama, it is unlikely that his right of way would subse quently be challenged. While the balance of expert opinion seems to Incline rather emphatically toward the Panama route under pres ent conditions, the question of choice is not vital. Kither route would make a good one if properly handled. The country is in no mood to accept further delay based on manufactured quibbling over non-csscntlal details. Tho renomlnation of Congressman Wright, of Susquehanna, is a happy solution of tho Wayne-Susquehanna-Bradford-Wyoming conference. Mr. Wright has made an efficient represen tative and his efficiency will Increase instead of diminish. , The Panama canal controversy seems near an end, but the Lajoio injunction proceedings bid fair to continue Indefi nitely. Agulnaldo is having more difficulty than Ifqn. D. B. Hill in removing his name from the forgotten list. Mrs. Bassefi's New "Garden" Book NO Sl'CH da grant, inspl has come l'r dainty, fascinating, fra- splring story of a garden rom the press before as is Judith's Garden, by Mary K. Stone Basett (Mrs. L. A. Bassett. of Carhondale.) No. not even the famous Klizabeth and her German Garden, for this is the story of a woman, whom to meet In tho pages of this book Is to love, who by the garden's coming Into the vista of her Immediate future is given the gift of returning courage to live, and who in the digging and planting and care of everything In this domain of hers not only wins back to health nnd exult nnt happiness herself. She does more. She carries every reader with her. Into a charmed atmosphere, pure, serene, abounding In joy and the lovo of nature's loveliest things In and under the open sky. Judith Is a rare, bright, original char acter. Quito as delightful In his way Is Pat, her chief lieutenant may wo call him, who "comes to garden," There are plenty of gardeners who know flowers. There are some who love them. - Hut never, In life or in books, will you meet nnother as original,. as tender-hearted, as unconsciously wise spirited, as he. Ills story, as told by himself In tho fourth chapter, Is one that touches the fount of tears, yet ends, with a spoken thought of consolation for himself so whimsical that It forces a smile. Thero are other people and glimpses of other stories outlined In Judith's tnlo of her garden. They are sketches only, but the true nrtlst's sure touch Is shown In all. Max, Rhnda, Klcctrlcal Brown, poor Mrs. Allen the orchid lover, PrihCilla nnd Donald, and Judith's un-named dearest friend who appears twtco only in th courso of tho story every lover of human nature will rejoice In making tho ac quaintance of them nil. We make ouo brief excerpt, Judith's Initial planning, when tho Joyful an nouncement that a garden Is to be within her reach that summer, Is made to her on her sick bed: "t know of no lonlo that equals plens nnt anticipations, Before I slept that night 1 had laid out a gardon thnt never can or will blossom on this earth. To please me, Max had written to a number. oi uonsis lor caiuiogues. no nan gouen down my pockrtbook thnt I might count my allowance and decide Just how much I could spend for seeds and plants. I could not spend nil my money, for I need ed a new bonnet. I mentally planned the bonnet and proceeded to reduce t, (This Is an excellent way to get at things'), In my mind's eye I decided It looked too fussy, I ripped off a bow price, fifty cents nnd devoted It to primrose seeds. I decided to dispense with part of the ar. tlllclal bouquet cost, one dollar. With proceeds purchased soma hnrdy, delight ful, yellow hollyhocks. A cheaper ribbon I thought might do. cost less, fifty cents. Bought three packages of mignonette seed. Decided to dispense with tho rib bon altogether, one dollar. Bought a dozen golden glows. Determined to trim the hat nt home, saving a dollar and a quarter; lumped tho whole sum Into sweet pens, "So I kept on, until 1 beheld before my dismayed eyes only tho bare framo to my bonnet, Now It was no longer be coming or useful. I turned It Into lark spurs; and while admiring their tall blue watch-towers, I fell asleep." It all ends charmingly; satisfactory In the extreme. Byt before It ends It Is utterly impossible not to sympathize with Aunt Matilda, who believes in social con ventions and handsome gowns, In her Uls. may over sundry of her wilful, loveable, flower-worahlpplng niece's proceedings. The bonk In exqtllMtely gotten up by tho publishers, the Lathrop company, Boston. TypogrspTty, binding, paper, Il lustrations, and the dainty leaf border In delicate green nn every page, make the book n delight to the eye as, Its contents are to the spirit. The Fcnst of Roses. Through the kindness of Rev. Sydney Ki Kvaii", formerly of Bcrnnton, now rector of Bf, Paul's P. R. church of Mnnhelm, Lancaster county, we are In receipt of the Mnnhelm Weekly Sentinel of Juno 13. giving full and most Interest ing roport of the annual celebration of "The Feast of Rosen" on Sunday, Juno R. This festival, now fnmed far nnd wide, draws many thousands of visitors to Mnnhelm on the second Sunday of each June to witness the payment of "the one red rose annual rentnl" stipulated for In Baron William Henry Stlegel's deed of gift of the land for 'Aon Lutheran church nearly a century and a half ago. Baron Stlegel was the founder of the town, the establlnher of the very first glass factory In what were then the "Thirteen Colonies" and the establlsber and proprietor of large Iron furnaces. He was also the teacher of his people, nnd their preacher nt times until a pastor could he regularly settled. He was one of General Washington's personal friends, and his furnaces were employed In the casting of cannon nnd making of ammu nition for tho Continental army. Like many other patriots of the Revolution his services had been forgotten. But a dozen years ago Dr. J. II. Slcllng, now of York, but then an active member of tho .Ion Church of Mnnhelm, searched out all the old records, Including the deed of gift with Its "one red rose" clause. This Juno was the eleventh memorial service, with tho payment of the rose to Baron Stlegel's oldest living heir. Tho church Is made a bower of roses and of living greenery for the occasion. The whole community, with all the surround ing country, participates In the keeping of this historic commemoration which has made famous the name of Mnnhelm named by Its founder, Baron Stlegel, for his native town of Manhelm, Ger many. This year the rose was presented for the church officials by Dr. Slcllng. and received for Miss M. M. Horning, of New port. R. T., the oldest surviving lineal descendant of Baron Stlegel. by Dr. J. W. Houston, of Lancaster. The memor ial oration was made by Talcott Wil liams. LL. D.. of the Philadelphia Press. President Bner, of the Reading railroad, also made a brief address. The morning memorial sermon was delivered by a for mer pastor, Rev. I,. L. Lohr, now of Wll llamsnort. The children's service was held nt 6 o'clock In the evening. Then "all the multitude of lovely roses were carefully packed nnd sent to the Lancas ter General Hospital," a beautiful ending of tho day. -S. E. D. CHANCES ON THE DANISH PUB CHASE. From the Washington Post. Wc have not yet entirely abandoned hope as regards the purchase of the Dan ish West Indies. Of course, to the Ignor ant outsider the situation seem compli cated, but then again things arc not al ways as bad as they look. When they tell us that a matter has to go before the Rlgsdag and to receive the approval of both the Landsthing and the Polkethlng, we at first experience a sense of gloomy apprehension. On the other hand, how do wc know that the Landsthing and the Folkcthlng will disagree and so throw us out of the Rlgsdag altogether? We do not know it, as a matter of lact. Then, why repine? Why, indeed! To tell the truth, after thinking it all over, wo should never have thought of repining at any stage of the game if there were only the Rlgsdag to consider. Rlgsdag is a. tough little word, but, after nil. it is only the name of tho Landsthing and Folkethlng when they come together. Something like out congress, with its senate and its house, and perhaps not a. bit more obstinate. To tell tho truth, it is the Rlgsret that gives us a chill. The RIgsret Is composed of persons appointed by tho Landsthing and the regular mem bers of the Holesteret, thus giving tho Landsthing another slap at you In case you square tho Rlgsdag. Hero you begin to feel a sense of confusion. You havo worked, say, on tho Landsthing and ths Folkcthlng until tho Rlgsdag seems safe. when suddenly tho Rlgsret comes along and throws you down. What Is worse In such a case Is that you will never know whether tho blow came from the Lands thing or tho Holesteret. Which, natural ly, muddles you again. Nevertheless, al though this is not all, and notwithstand ing tho fact that the Statsraadet has to be settled with before tho incident is closed, wo still hope that the sale of the Islands will bo negotiated. Something tells us that tho Statsraadet and the Rlgsdag are well disposed, and that the Holesteret can be fixed if only tho other members of tho Rlgsret will listen to reason. Anyhow, this is tho way it looks to us. If any ono can make more of it, we shall be glad to hear from hlm. QUAY WINS A WAGER. From the Hnrrlsburg Telegraph.
