"No man is above tbe law and no man is below it," declares the President, in sp-akini? in Lis annual message to Con Kress or the relations between capital and labor. A Dkmocratic daily ot New York says that the continual abuaeof W. J. Bryan should cease, as be has turned out to be line advertising agent lor his weekly paper. Senator Hanna nays that be is tired denying reports or ill feeling between himself and the President, Tbe Demo cratic papers never lire of printing these reports. The Keptibl ican's are phased that Croker, Tammany's former leader, did not ii (luce William J. Bryan to remain in Euulaud, as be has promised (o take part in six in ore presidential i-amraigns. Pbksiuknt Rooskvei.t declares in his message to Congress, "The givers and takers of tribes stand on an evil preemi nence of inlainy. The exposure and pun ishment ol public corruption is an honor to a nation, not a disgrace." In making his committee appoint ment", Speaker Cannon has selected men who aro personally interested in the work assigned to them, so that they can take a broad, rational view of the meas ures submitted to tueir committees. Former Governor Allen Chandler, of Georgia, declared that Gorman was tbe best man for the Democrats to nominate, but bo was "for any Yankee who can lick Roosevelt." He shows some wisdom, however, in advising the Democrats not to use the Panama a Hair as an issue. Chari.es Murphy, the Tammany leader, is a power in the Democratic par ty and Senator Gorman is doubtless much disappointed to hear that lie favors Judge Parker as the Democratic Presidential nominee. The Senator's Jim Crow pol icy did not receive the approval of the Northern Democrats. Despite all rumors to the contrary, it seems that Gen. Wood's nomination to be major general will be confirmed by the Senate. And this will please about nine tenths of the American people, who see no opposition to the General's promotion except that wbich comes from the crowd that be exposed and bad punished in con nection with the Cuban postal frauds. These rascals seem to have some influen tial backing which has been endeavoring to get even with General Wood by op posing his confirmation. Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, Superin tendent of Public instruction, is getting much favorable comment for bis advo cacy of a large attention to the teachers of the "three R's" in our schools. He be lieves that reading, writing and arithme tic, should be thoroughly taught before the time of pupils is seriously distracted by attention to anything that interferes with that work. In this he is taking tbe wise and timely attitude required. Chil dren may do great things in examina tions under some other arrangement, but they have to suffer for it in later years. At tbe meeting of the National Repub lican Coinuiittoe, In the city of Washing ton last Saturday, for the purpose of fix ing a time and place for holding the next Republican National convention, Chicago wax selected as tbe place and June 21st as the date. The windy city hail all other competitors down by a large majority anil won out easily. The sentiment of the committee as to choice of candidates was unanimous for President Roosevelt, and the probability is that an Illinois uian will be his running mate. All the members of the Committee were inter viewed and the answers were practically the same, "the people want Roosevelt." Tti's does not suit Wall street, but Wall street is not making candidates for the Republican parly. In Speaker Cannon's make-up of stand ing committees (his Congressional dis trict hares well in the honors. Mr. Sib ley is made chairman of the Committee on Manufactures, and he retains bis po sit on on the Post. Dice Committeee. At his own request be was dropped from the Committee on Insular Allairs. It is known to those who sre on the inside of political affairs at the Capitol that Speak er Cannon !! red tbe bead place on the P .st Olllce Committee to Mr. Sibley, but tlielaiter declined, being unwilling to undertake the vast detail worn of a com mittee which deals with appropiialions that aggriuate more than the combined expenditures of the army and navy. The Speaker thereupon ollered to Mr. Sibley bis choice ol a chairmanship ami Sibley Indicated bis willingness to take head place on Manufactures. On a recent vlait to Washington the writer of this para graph mixed considerably with the "newspaper fellers" the experienced sleuths who have a reliable nose as to men ami allairs and gathered f-om them that in the matter of personal popularity In i he lower House, without regard to party, it is horse and-horse betwien the two Joes Cannon and Sibley. Vouango appointor, I'enitcratli'. I'ostiil Affairs. Those who have studied the question realize, that the Post Olllce Department is capable of many reform which would greatly increase its usefulness a a ser vant of tho nation. The pretent discus sion of affairs In the department is an op portune moment to present these reforms to the people so ibat they may become a popular desire. Abuses of second class mail privileges have long been a disgrace to the postal service, but much has now been done to correct them. Alleged periodicals which were in reality books, or merely adver tising mediums, or bad a free elrjulatlou, or an excessive sample copy distribution were deprived ol the rights of second class mail. The same was denied news agents who formerly returned their un sold matter at the pound rate. The distinction between third and fourth class matter, that is between print ed matter and merchandise, forces the postal authorities to ask the sender irri tating questions and causes much loss of time. Assistant Postmaster General Madden has recommended the consolida tion of these two classes, at a uniform rate of one cent for every two ounces. He suggests also the use of postal checks, which would be a great conveni ence in sending money by post, and would prevent the excessive use of stamps, which increases the roblieries iu small unices where large supplies must be kept on hand, and permits tbe post masters to demand an Increase of salary owing to the large sale of stamps. In Germany to-day it is possible to or der goods in any part of Hie empire and have them seut cheaply and promptly by post, charges collect. Parcels post exists in nearly every European country, but it has not been iu use iu this country Min ply because the private express compan ies have been powerfull enough to pre vent it. This is but a single instance of how the companies have their interests protected. The influence of these privato companies is great anl opposed to the public, but it would be powerless in tbe face of a real public de ire for a parcels post. The desire for it will come as soon as people realize its value. Excellent Advice. Alfred Truman, a Jefferson county writer, of more t'jan ordinary note, ami who is well known to many of our read ers, gives this excellent advice toayoung relative starling in life, wbich the Brook ville Republican of last wtek pubdshes: Having started out in life for yourself, and having shown your ability to conduct a legitimate business successfully, I write to warn you against any attempt at get ting rich quicker thau good common businiBs methods will admit of. As it becomes known that you are accumulat ing money, you will be beset by a class of mn who, as It is said, live by their wits, and if not themselves scoundrels, they represent such. Men, or coucerns that have not a single honust purpose in viewt but wbo live on the honest substance of a better class, will come to you with schemes ottering great promise, but which have no foundation save in their own villainous plans to rob you. Un P'incipaled schemers will offer to sell you mining stooks, presenting to your young mind visions f gold, silver and copper mines in actual and active opera tion, earning for the stockholders unlim ited wealth, when iu reality tbe mine or mines represented to you either do not exist or are nothing more than a mining claim or a nine entirely valueless. If you are in possession af stocks or shares, procured through agents who bave claim ed tort-present an actual miningcoinpany, my advice is to burn tbe paper, made worthless by the matter printed upon it, and forever afterwards regard tbe man who seeks to sell you mining shares just as you would were you to - catch him robbing your safe. Another form of robbery, practiced upon a class of persons whom one would think to be wanting iu proper saneness is through the operations of what is known as the "bucket Shops." If your town bears the disgrace of tolerating oue of these institutions, I earnestly appeal to you to shun it as a dear sweetheart, wife, or mother would shun a brothel. Remem ber thai, apart from the sin and folly of gambling, the concern owns both ends of the wire; and what this means is shown by the universal extent to which nearly all have been duped who have tried get ting rich by this one-sided method of taking risks, I am told that people of small means, in our town, and some whose religious convictions should bave restrained them from the evils of gambling, have lo t, in the aggregate, (50,'JOO within the last year or two by this form of idiotic vice and folly. Some of this money represented the lifetime earnings of people both dead and living, and was needed in almost ev ry instance to tide over the lives of those who have wasted it by means worse than to have thrown into the tire. Alfred Trdman. France has issued an oflicial state ment saying she will not sell the islands i St. Pierre and Mlquelon, which lie olf the South coast of Newfoundland and form the remnant of her vast American possessions. Carrying out his idea of sending all European flags back across the Atlantic!, Senator Lodge had suggest ed that tbe United States buy these isl ands from France. The disposition to parade criminals is too frequently manifest, to the detriment of public morals. The latest ii fctai ce of this demoralizing practice, developed in Chicago, calls forth the following criti cism from the Inter-Oceau : There is too much publio exhibition of criminals loo muuh license uiven them to display and vaunt themselves. The levees which the Chicago police permitted the carbarn murderers to hold were immoral and depraving spectacles. The sooner a criminal is withdrawn from the publio Vision and the less ado with which the silence of a prison cell is made to close around him liie better for the cause of law and social decency.

Nhowalter, Dist. Pass. A t. Nick le Plato Road, Wi7 Slate St., Erin Pa. (jfjjie Uorcrnor Oppose Dancing. The governor of Nebraska is making a bid for a place in history as the executive who forbids dancing on the part of tbe State employes. Governor Mickey de clare that he is opposed to dancing on moral grounds. "Liberties are permitted in llio ballroom not tolerated elsewhere," says the go- ernor j "most of thediigraced wonn n attribute their fall to dancing, for human vultures haunt the ballrooms to presume upon acquaintance and ruin ynunk. women. The difference between the masculine and feminine eodo of mor als is the cause of sin and sorrow in the under world. A man may stray from the path of virtue and be respectable. Every hand pushes a woman downward. If dancing contributes in any way to pulling the women of our land from their tbronr of virtue we should not permit it." And this is the governor of Billy Bry an's State, where people's liberties are not supKsed to be curtailed by bosses or combines of any sort. The Modern Christmas. "For Christmas comes but once a year." And iu the opinion of many it is an elegant sufficiency. There is no gain saying the fact that a good many are just ai well satisfied that it comes no more frequently. It Is of course true that very many, probably a majority, celebrate tbe holiday in the proper spirit, and look forward to Its coming with the most joy ous expectations, but it is equally true tnat there are many others who look up on its advent as an annual atllictlon a dreaded season of annoyance and perplex ity, during which selfishness, greed and Ingratitude are more frequently encoun tered than the opposite characteristic of charily, benevolence and good will. The practice of giving gifts is a beautiful one, so long as it is conducted along proper lines -so long as " 'tis not the valueof the gift," but when it assumes the character of commercialism, wbeu a person makes a-gift in expectation of getting a better one, and is disappointed if this expecta tion Is not reali.ed, it is no longer beau tiful. It becomes hideous. When it comes to simply swapping gifts tbe Christmas spirit is lost. And it cannot bedenied that tbe tendency l in that di rection. Parents as a rule overdo tbe thing when their children are young. Tbe boy or girl of 40 or 50 years ago derived much more real satisfaction from au in expensive present than tbe one of to day does from a much more -valuable one. Parents of to-day bestow such valuable gifts upon their children when they are young that when they are a little older grown there is nothing good enough for them. When a lad or lass of a dozen years turns up bis or her nose, and dis plays a lack of gratitude, because a gift is not more valuable, it is good evidence ibat there has been a plethora of presents before. And it is much the same with the grown folks. The husband whose wife has about everything she desires, experiences moie and more difficulty each succeeding year iu iindiog some thing suitable and satisfactory. And it is tbe same with the wife whose husband is well supplied. These are a lew of tbe leasons why people take up such heavy burdens each recurring holiday season when they commence hunting tor Christ mas presents. Were all purchasers to re strict themselves to merely some little remembrance, something which they could afford to pay for, it would certainly be much better than to indulue in more extravagant purchases, often assuming debts which aie burdensome for many weary months. And the recipients should always remember that t .ere is nothing an unkind as base ingratitude. Oil Cil Blizzard. SI OO REWAltl), 9IOO.
