It was SanchoPanza, that doughty squire of the inimitable Quixote of Cervantes' fancy, who first invoked benisons on the man who invented sleep. The amiable, the witty, the gifted Dr. Holmes, of our own times, and in the modern environment of the lately passed century, repeated the blessing, together with sundry blightsings on the author of the early rising horror. There's a young chap out in the western part of this state, i.e., Wash ington county, who, in the bright beams of the sunshine of a set day last week, was not inclined to share the exuberant enthusiasm of the Cas tiliaii or the Yankee over that "silent friend of all our woes," as care charming slumber has been described in emotional poesy. In fact, the young man in question is roundly abusing the ancient deity named Morpheus, who is responsible, doubtless, for most of the pipe dreams that have come down to us in the pages of mythological lore, and he is said also to have smashed the alarm clock which failed of its function of constituting his bride bell. The clock, perfidious product of Ausouia, Conn., or some equally sordid and unroniau tic community, refused to ring the nuptial chime at 5 a. in. or so, the bonny bride-expect a lit with whom the sleeper proposed to elope in reg ular Romeo and Juliet fashion at that unearthly hour, vainly waiting, not at the church, but at the bleak and desolate railroad station at Washing ton, Pa., in the slowly creeping hours of her slumberous sweetheart's ab sence. After three trains hail come and gone, without the appearance of the sluggish swain, the damsel's mother arrived 011 the scene and drag ged her runaway girl back home and put her to bed. No wonder the young fellow who arrived, all out of breath a few min utes later, and with his battered alarm clock in his hand as proof of those good intentions, with which the late Ben Wade is reported to have remarked a certain place is paved, (borrowing the simile, be it remem bered, from a far abler and more ori ginal brain) is heaping curses on the man that invented sleep with the same fervor displayed by Sancho and Oliver Wendell in bestcuving benedic tions. And no wonder the weeping maiden, whose romantic dream has been wrecked by a treacherous alarm clock and a lazy woogr, is averring over and over to-day that she will never, no never, trust a man again. It may well be believed that our old friend Cupid, who is said to be ever wakeful, and the heavy-eyed Morpheus, who has just succeeded in marring a well-nigh completed task of the little winged deity, will have a battle royal when an accounting is made of this latest faux pas at Wash ington, Pa. "Care-charming sleep" appears in this instance as a ruthless thief of connubial bliss. BRYAN S HOME COMING. Mr. Bryan's marvelous hold 011 the people lias again been denionstarted, the reception lie received at New York exceeding anything of the kind ever tendered to a home-coming American other than a returned victorious war rior. Laying aside its political sig nificance, the reception was a most re markable, commentary on our demo cratic way of doing things. Mr. Bryan was met with honors that would have made a king feel proud, yet lie is a private citizen holding no office—-just a man like other men. And yet not a common man. No common man could be welcomedjjy the rulers of the earth as Bryan has been welcomed and 110 ordinary per son could ever hope to make a trip around the world a veritable triumph- j al journey its he lias done. He has been made much of everywhere and ] he has carried the gospel of strong, j sturdy Americanism to many a land j where it has been wrongfully at aj discount hitherto. Nowhere else on earth could a | plain private citizen receive such a 1 reception as did Mr. Bryan, and even ! his political opponents have no desire to belittle its significance. It is ' characteristic of America of which A merieans may well be proud. I WHY? Why is a state bauk examiner? The question eoines naturally to the mind of injuring persons who are able to take a ealm and disinterested view of the cataclysm that has just shaken financial centres of Philadel phia, in the apparent insolvency of the Heal Estate Trust company. Seven million dollars or more rip ped out of what was commonly un derstood to be one of the rock-ribbed institutions of so conservative a com munity as the sleepy city on the Dela ware's banks, vanished in the gilded dreams of one of the alleged "solid citizens," a pillar of the church, the trusted guide, counsellor and friend of unsophisticated clergymen, deacons, Sunday school superintendents and others of the guild labeled truly good, who are "stuck" for a considerable part of the huge sum indicated, gives pertinency to the query propounded. What are the uses of the state banking commissioner and the dozen or so ot "examiners," who are paid good salaries to prevent, or, at least, guard agaiust just such smashes in fiduciary institutions as have thrown staid old Philadelphia into a commo tion not poralleled since the Keystone bauk collapse of fifteen years ago, followed, as it was, by a scries of "surprises" that eventually landed an "honest" city treasurer in the penitentiary, sent a dashing financier into exile and irretrievably ruined other reputations? What, we repeat, are these so-call ed "bank examiners" supposed to be doilig when such enormous losses can be sustained by hapless citizens, who place their trust in the assurance of the state that their interests are being safeguarded, and therefore are cot worried by the "plungings," in re; 1 estate or otherwise, than have become a favorite diversion of eminent capi talists, church members and poli ticians ? It is giveu out in recent dispatches that Governor Pennypacker's state banking commissioner, Mr. Berkey, was about to begin an examination of the methods of the failed trust com pany. Two years have elapsed, it is said, since such scrutiny was last made. It may be doubted, perhaps, if such an examination would have b .en especially useful or profitable, for it is remembered that not long be fore the crash of the local trust com pany, less than two years ago, one of Mr. Berkey's subordinates inspected its affairs and reported everything cor rect. A few weeks prior to the col lapse another inspection by the state official revealed conditions that caused him to notify the persons responsible for the conduct of the bank that they would have to repair certain specified deficiencies or close their doors. The warning was too late, and depositors suffered. That's the trouble. Our state watchdogs sleep until the burglary is effected; then they bark lustily, while saddened victims mourn their losses. But examiners who don't examine are quite the thing in these days of Re publican control of the state's sub stantial interests; but the price paid by this latest neglect of the work they are employed and paid to per form seems a big one. — THERE are stout people who want to be thinner, and there are many thin people who think they would look and feel better if they were fatter. The chemists tell us that both these classes can have their desires gratified if they pay careful attention to hygienic laws, which tell them what foods to eat and what to avoid. There are many fat-produc ing articles, some of which come upon our tables every day. These are the ones the stout people ought to shun and that the thin ones ought to in dulge in most frequently. Potatoes, peas, baked beans and all sweets, such as cake, pies and puddings, ale, beer and wine all possess fattening qualities and should be avoided by stout people. On the other hand, they are the foods and drinks the thin people who desire to be better round ed out should freely indulge in. But as these articles are such as most per sons like, the question arises, what shall they eat instead ? Lean meats, fish, poultry and home-raised fruit, together with vegetables, like celery, beets, string beans and egg plant, will furnish any one with an ample var iety to choose from. The fat people should also refrain from drinking large quantities of fluids at meal time, such as chocolate, coffee and tea, but to use water freely instead. But most people are so addicted to some of the foods we have mentioned that rather than abstain from them they will bear with their obesity. — TIIE Reading railroad has be come alarmed at the high price it is compelled to pay for railroad ties— seventy cents—and, like some other Eastern roads, has been casting about for a cheaper but equally acceptable tie and has begun a series of experi ments to get over the difficulty. The officials of the road say that so soon as a steel tie is devised that will meet the requirements of the situation they will adopt it anil gradually equip the main line and its branches with the new device. It is feared a steel tie may make too rigid a road bed, and also produce more noise, and also may not be able to provide the allowances of contraction and expansion required. At the same time, the saving, which it is estimated will be thirty cents on each fie, is believed to be so great an inducement to inventors that event uallyly a satisfactory article will result from their experiments. —EVERY reader can imagine the exceeding regret and dissatisfaction of President Roosevelt and the pack of lesser spelling reformers that trots at his heels that they cannot com mandeer the newspapers of the Eng lish-speaking world of the IfiO.OOO -000 English speaking people to do their bidding. Poor Public Printer Stillings-Hiust obey orders and print the next long message in the language of Artemus Ward and Petroleum V. Nasby, but the rest of the world will continue to use the language of Shak espeare and Milton all the same, and our old-fashioned world will jog along, holding fast to that which is good and rejecting the Roosevelt- Carnegie dictation just as they would any other impertinence. GORDON m BOS® Former Judge Arraigned Machine In Notification Speech. REVIEWS POLITICAL CRIMKB Declares Machine Hat Nat Been Whipped Into Abdication, But Onl> Frightened, and Decisive Blow Mud Be Struck. Former Judge James Oa.y Gordon, of Philadelphia, delivered tbe notiflca tlon speech for the Democratic party to Lewis Emery, Jr., at the Pittsburg meeting. He said: "We live in momentous timea. Some of the profoundeet problem* of social life are In process of solution. Quee tions vitally affecting the well-being of the people and that a little more than a year ago were soe.rcely discern lble above the political horizon are now being debated at every croeeroadi store, on every platform and in the col umns of every newspaper. "Within the last twelvemonth a flood of light has been let In upon the meth ods and morals of the Influences thai control the capital of the country and the markets for the necessaries of l!fs "State and municipal government! have been laid bare In all the hideous noss of corrupt deformity. The nation has staggered appalled at revelations of financial dishonesty, corporate op pression and governmental crimes thai the boldest critics of our Institutions had never suggested. "Shame has covered this people aa with a garment and we have bowed our heads In humiliation at the hissing derision of the nations. "But the light of Inquisition that re vealed the disease disclosed also ths cause of the malady. Every abuse, every oppression, every crime was found to be linked to a corrupt politi cal machine that protected, if It did not engender It. "No matter how remote the Iniqui ties seemed on their surface from po litical connection, yet Investigation showed that they ultimately rested on party bosses and party machines foi support and protection. Abandoned Wharves * Landmark. "No locality and no political party had a monopoly of the Infamy. Prom the turbid waters of the Missouri to the abandoned wharves of the Dela ware—from Kansas to New York— from St. Louis to Philadelphia—the same unvarying lesson was taught: "That public plunder has no polltlca and the corruptions of our financial and political Institutions are united aj by an umbilical cord with our party bosses and machines. "Some may dispute the statement that the tariff Is the mother of trusts, but In the light of recent revelations none will deny the proposition thai the political boss Is their godfather. "It was with these revelations and this lesson before It that the Demo cratic party of Pennsylvania assem bled Instate convention last June. "It had seen, moreover, what a free people will do when once thoroughly aroused to a sense of wrong and be trayal. "It had seen the aggressive, ardent and Impartial district attorney of St. I.ouls, Polk, elected to the governor ship of Missouri, In spite of the Dem ocratic machine, whose crimes he had unearthed and punished. "It tiad seen another district attor ney, ostracised by his party for his fearless administration of Justice, ap peal to the people as an Independent candidate and carry the great metrop olis of the nation over all factions and bosses. "It had seen likewise, at the same election, the Tamany candidate foi mayor barely escape defeat by meth ods of dubious honesty and legality. "Above all, it had seen in Philadel phia and Pennsylvania, the Qlbraltai of corrupt boss government, an out raged Republican constituency that had voted for Roosevelt the year be fore by half a million majority, defeat itß party state machine by nearly a hundred tfcmsand. Honest Citizen* Redeemed City. "In Philadelphia a fusion of honest citizens of all parties redeemed thai city from a rapacious political organi zation, tho most powerful, all-controll ing and debased In the annals of mu nicipal government. "The Democratic party when It as sembled in convention last June was, therefore, confronted by an extraor dinary condition of public affairs and a delicate and difficult problem. "A great national party with a con tinued history of more than a hun dred years, it would have been nat ural had It looked upon the disruption of its great political rival as an oppor tunity for a party advantage. "There were those in the counsels of the party who sincerely entertained this view of political and public duty. They supported their advice by Il lustrations and arguments that were difficult to confute and that. In normal times, would have been prevailing. "But these are not normal times, and a new Issue is before the peopl« of Pennsylvania, and new duties have devolved upon parties. The new Is sue Is the destruction of the boss-gov erned political machines that have brought shame upon the nation and woes Innumerable upon the people. "The hope of the future lies first in the emancipation of parties from the thraldom of boss-controlled organiza tions. Reform will follow only when parties become responsive to the will of their voters. "In Pennsylvania, mors than any other state, this Issue Is emphasised. A protesting body of Independent and patriotic Republicans emphasized II whca, under the name of Lincoln Re publicans, they placed a ticket of their own in the field In opposition to the Machine Republican nominees. "This body of protesting Republican Integrity arrayed Itself upon a platform of principles that represent the urgent reforms earnestly demanded by hon est men of all parties. "Thus stood the Republican voters ef Pennsylvania when the Democratic jonventlon met. The old, unregener tte, guilty and convicted Machine, with Its cohorts of disciplined dependents on the one side, and on the other the enthusiastic, ardent, honest but unor ganized Independent Republicans, seek ing to save heir party from the con tinued rule of the despot and theli state from the continued shame of the spoiler. "In this emergency what did the Democracy do? Rising to the highest duties of patriotism, putting behind It tho promptings of selfishness, recog nizing a common cause In the strug gle for political freedom, It proclaim ed a truce to partisanship and turned united organisation over to a com I man leadership In the war of emanci pation from Machine serfdom. • "By this act of renunciation tha | Democracy established at once its sin cerity and Its greatness. The oldest party In the nation and destined prob ably to endure for many generations to come. It nevertheless has not hesi tated for the accomplishment of a grest Immediate public good to fall be hind the leadership of the youngest ot | all parties. "placing, therefore, at the head o( Its ticket the nominee of the Lincoln party for the office of clilof executive of the state, the Democrats gave hlra three colleagues of highest character and eminent lltness to do battle at his side. "Bv the command of the Democratic state convention, it devolves upon mo to give those candidates formal noti fication of their nomination. This I do by announcing that you, Louis Emery, Jr., Republican, are the Democratic nominee for governor, and you, Jere miah S. Black, Democrat, are its nomi nee for lieutenant governor, and you, William T. Creasy, Democrat, its nomi nee for auditor general, and you. John J. Green, Democrat, are its nominee for secretary of Internal affairs. "The Democracy is fulfilling its mis sion when it refuses to strive for a partisan victory that would fasten chains on honorable foes. Democrats muat stand for liberty first and always. Partisanship will be a helpful manlfes tation of public spirit when It ceased to be an asset by which the boss main tains his power. "Political bosses are never partisans. They preach partisanship to their fol lowers, but themselves practice the most miscellaneous libertlnago. They are professed monogamists, but practi cal Mormons. The politics of a boss and a corporation are the same. An Irre sistible affinity for the party In power and an Inveterate hostility to unrepre sented minorities. Rests With Independents. "The hope of the coming campaign lies In the fact that a united Democracy will bring more than 400,000 votes to the ticket. It now rests with the in dependent Republicans who love de cency more than dishonor, righteous ness more than regularity, to say whether they will lift up their party out of its degradation and the state out of its shame. "Fortunately, the issue In the cam paign will not be obscured by divert ing personalities. The Republican Ma chine has placed a ticket In the field composed of gentlemen of unimpeach able personal character. It is due to them to say that their defeat will be n«J reflection on their personal fame. "The Machine platform, likewise, is in the main unexceptionable. Every vi tal line of it, however, is a recantation and repudiation of its past. But will the independent voter trust the reform cause to the defiant bosses who have made the reforms necessary? "Would a 'corrupt and criminal com bination masquerading as 'Republi cans' be any more trustworthy when masquerading as 'reformers'? Is it safe to continue the reins of political power In the hands of those who have used that power to create the mon strous abuses against which the na tion is now In arms? "The Machine in Pennsylvania has not been whipped Into abdication, but only frightened Into false pretense. It re tains power and only surrenders prom ises. "Some malignant growths are so deep-seated that the only hope of life Is the surgeon's knife. But you can not expect the cancer to operate on Itslef. Neither can you expect the Ma chine to commit suicide. "Remedies to be effectlev must be applied with a view to the duration and extent of the disease. When Hercules undertook to clean the Augean Stables he did not use a lace handkerchief, but turned the bed of a river upon the foul mass and washed the festering filth Into the sea. Only Herculean methods will serve for the disinfection of the Pennsylvania political Machine. "When a political boss or his Ma chine is In danger he Immediately turns reformer —that Is, he writes reform platform®. The greater his danger and the more manifest his guilt and wick edness, the more radical will be his re form professions. The father of the present Republican Machine often and successfully played this ruse to save himself from disaster. "Greater Than Clay Or Webster." "He was the greatest of all reform verbalists —greater than Webster, or Clay, or Roosevelt. "So the platform on which the pres ent Machine candidates stand Is loaded with sound doctrine and reform prom ises. It is specially radical In Its de nunciation of the wrongs of railroad corporations. This from those who un til now have been the most servile tools of all oorporatlons Is sardonic In Its Insincerity. "It raises the question whether thi real and vital reform of Mr. Cassatl In abolishing all free passos is not thu! countered by threats of reprisals or the part of Machine lackeys deprived ol a chief source of their power and means of corruption. There Is no such radii al even In the ranks of anarch) as an exposed boss who sees his oppor tunities for plunder slipping from hi! grasp. "No candidate Is better or strongei than the cause he represents, and nc Machine candidate can possess such ar excess of virtue In himself as to atom for the vicious system of which he ii the chosen exponent. "Men of ordinary attainments hav( often served the state well as represen tatives of a worthy cause or system; but good men who have been put for ward to save and shield an evil organ isation from defea« have never risen above their environment. The Ma chine suffocates after election the re spectable characters behind which II masquerades during the campaign. "How can a candidate whose grati tude prevents him from denouncing 8 corrupt Machine before election be ex pected to repudiate it after it has placed him in office? That would be to plaj a bunco game on his sponsors, whicb Is inconsistent with respectability. "If, as the Scriptures say, a gifl doth blind the eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous, even so does a Machine nomination close the lips of the respectable and stay the wrath of the virtuous. "Candidates should flt the issues, and illustrate the times. Great emergen cies in the state cannot be adequately met by halting timidity and decorous time-serving. Ills Worthy of Mention. "The present distinguished governoi of this commonwealth gave utterance not long ago to the smug sentiment that 'Pennsylvania has few ills wortli> of mention,' and flatteringly referred In a state paper to the Machine boss ol Philadelphia as a 'most ootent oolltl (Continued on page 3.) (MAN UNI STATE Jeremiah Black's Ringing Address of Acceptance ISSUES MORAL, NJT POLITICAL Lincoln Party-Democratic Nominee For Lieutenant Governor Arraigns Gang For Annulling the Constitution By Allowing Railroads to Control the Legislature. Jeremiah S. Black, Fusion nominee for lieutenant governor, in accepting the nomination, declared himself en tirely in accord with the program foi cleaning up the state. He said: Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: My nomination for the office of lieu tenant governor was unsolicited—al no time and in no sense have I been a seeker for this or any public office. 1 have been always content to remain In private life, striking a blow for the general good as opportunity offered, fighting the fight as a man In the ranks. I accept the nominations ofTerod me by the Democratic party and the Lin coln party, and shall boar the burden* and responsibilities of the .candidacy, only because no man who believes ap 1 do in the honest administration ot the government, and In equal and strict protection of ths personal and property rights of all alike, can refuse to serve the cause In such place as may be allotted to him. The governmental and political con ditions in Pennsylvania have sunk to a level of baseness that no man can describe, without a blush of shamo for the state of which he is a citizen. For more than 40 years, the state ol Pennsylvania and all Its assets ha/e been In the grasp of a political machine as corrupt as ever existed In the world. Disregard of the fundamental law and violation of the duties incumbent upon public officers have been so habitual as to become second nature with those reared In the school of politicians who have controlled Pennsylvania. The machlno parasites and lackeys have been educated In the belief thai public office is but an opportunity foi personal fortune. It has been the fashion for public officers, great oi emnll, togo into business for them selves, using the power of their offices for their personal gain. The misgovernment and corruption with which the state is cursed grows out of the habit, deep-rooted here, of public servants making a business of their duty. For 40 years there has been no gov ernment in Pennsylvania by the people and for the people. The stato has been misruled by the lawless company, in the name of the Republican party, foi the advancement of the material In terests of the greater corporations. These people and their puppets shoved into the official places, are not and never have been public servants. Thoy are the servants of the corporations who pay them higher wages than the people can afford, and they have served their masters well. In 1873, 33 years ago, the people gained some advantage as against the plunderers who had the state by the throat. In that year was adopted the new constitution. In the 17th article of that constitution is plainly and sim ply written the law declaring all rail roads public highways; forbidding dis crimination in charges for carrying passengers or freight; forbidding com mon carriers, directly or Indirectly, to engage in mining or manufacturing articles for transportation over their roads or in any other business than that of common carriers; forbidding officers or employes of railroad compa nies to be interested, directly or indi rectly, in furnishing material or sup plies to such companies; forbidding ths issuing of free passes by railroad com panies to any persons except employes of their company. The embodiment of these principles into the fundamental law of the state was at the time considered a great victory for the people. But the pro visions of the 17th article are not. self executing. Legislation was needed to enforce them, and thorefore, It Is pro vided by the 12th section of the 17th article that "the general assembly shall enforce, by appropriate lcgisla tion, the provisions of this article." The constitution was adopted by popular vote, and the contest between the people on one side and the rail roads and their allies on the other, went on. During the whole period from the adoption of the constitution to the present time, the people have suffered an unbrokon series of disas ters. In 38 years, there has not been a single piece of appropriate legisla tion enacted to enforce the provisions of the 17th article. For 83 years the railroads have controlled the leglsla ture of the state, and, as a matter of | course, have permitted no legislation that would check their plundering. We have the humiliating memory of legislature after legislature riding to Harrisburg upon free passes given the members by the railroads, who, with the passes in their pockets, time after time, took the oath of office swearing obedience« to the constitu tion—the constitution which they had already violated, and which they con tinued to violate to the end of their several terms. We have the humiliating memory of judge after judge taking his scat upon the bench, and with a railroad pass in his pocket and his oath ta obey the constitution upon his lips, undertaking the decision of cases in volving the Interests of the corpora tion upon whose free ticket he travels the public highways without charge. Every executive and judicial officer who has done these things should be impeached and removed from his of fice. Rut that remedy has been im possible. because an Impeachment j must be Instituted in the House of I Representatives and tried by the Sen j ate. and these bodies have always been offending In the same manner. They could not be expected to punish othei public officers for the offense that . they themselves were committing. J We are having today the humillat- j ing experience of hearing from the , evidence introduced in proceedings carried on by the federal government, the character and extent of the vio lations of tho law indulged In by the railroads of the state —humiliating be cause it demonstrates what our own weakness against the thieves has been —because it demonstrates that for long years we have not exercised the right of self-government.
