In considering gubernatorial possibil
ities, 3Ir. Piiltlpon does not seem as
enthusiastic as some of his supporters.
Ills experience as a reorganize!' In"
1'hlladclphla some time ago, which
demonstrated that a "man of destiny"
can sometimes receive hard knocks in
the region' of the small ribs, appears
to have made him timid.
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

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! Nicaragua, 237 feet nt
Tnmbnrcltos Panama, KM feet at Utilebrn,
I. Comparative cost of maintenance:
Nlcnra-un, $.1,r,od,(K0 nnnually! rnnnma,
$..000,OiM. 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.
". Number of locks: Nicaragua, 8s
Panama, 1! double and 1 single.
tt. Length of canal navigation, after de
ducting d&ep water navigation In Lako
Nicaragua or Lake 1'olilni Nicaragua,
112 miles: Panama, 42 miles.
7. Navigation around curves: Nicar
agua, 4P.2D miles: Panama, 22 miles.
S. Total degrees of curvature In canal:
Nicaragua, 2330 deg. 50 mln.; Panama, 771
deg. :M mln.
0. Radius of sharpest curves: Nicara
gua, 4015 feet! Panama, 820,1 feet.
10. Actual time of sailing through can
al: Nicaragua, 3fl hours; Panama, 12
hours.
11. Average hours of transit. Including
delays at night: Nicaragua, 01 Hi hours;
Panama, 21 hours.
12. Itiilnfall: Annual average nt Grey
town, !." Inches: at Colon. 120 Inches,
13. Regulation of summit level In cHtinl
and this means tho maintenance of tho
normal depth of water, defective regula
tion paralyzing the cannl and blocking
the commerce of the world: At Lake
Nicaragua "It Involves the operation of
movable gates at such times and to such
extent as the rainfall on the lake basin
may require. The experience and Judg
ment of the operator are essential ele
ments In the effective regulation of the
lake:" nt Lake "Bohlo "the regulation Is
automatic." Both quotations are from
the isthmian canal commission's report.
11. Traffic lime from New York to
the North Pacific, allowing for tlmo.con
suincd In passage of cannl: Nicaragua
route equal to Panama, for slow steam
ers, longer ror niedltnn-spcca steamers,
still longer for fast steamers.
15. Tronic lime from New Orleans to
the North P.iclllc, allowing for tlmo con
sumed In passage of canal: Nicaragua
route shorter than Panama for slow
steamers, equal for medium-speed steam
ers, longer for fast steamers.
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,

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.
