Magee could have heard them, wonld have convinced him that he had gained the highest prize acheivable by a human being, the unqualified good opinion of all his fellow men with who he came into contact. Men who were on the other side daring the bitter Sen atorial fight had only good words for him. After proceedings lasting six days, the extraordinary session of the Senate was declared adjourned sine die last Saturday afternoon. During the session practically no business except thst of executive character was transacted. The session was called by the President that the senate might have opportu nity to confirm appointments made at at the beginning of the new adminis tration. That business accomplished, there was nothing further for the Sen ate to do. At the opening of Saturday's session the President pro tem.. Senator Frye, was inducted into office, the oath being administered by Vice President Roose velt. Hon. John H. Mitchell, the recently elected Senator from Oregon, was pre sented by his colleague. Senator Simon, and took the oath of office. He got a cordial reception from his colleagues on the floor, many of whom had served in the Senate, with him, and from his friends in the galleries, who greeted his appearance with hearty applause. Sev eral baskets of beautiful roses and jonquils, arranged in elaborate designs, adorned the desk of Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell's 18 years service in the Senate and his admirable qualities as a man and legislator, have made him popular among his colleagues. Senator Carter's magnificent oratori cal achievement should not pass into history without proper recognition by the press of the country. The Montana philanthrdpist held the floor for the twelve hours between midnight and noon. It is a delight to read the report of his remarks in the Congressional Record. The flow of his eloquence was only when he courteously yielded to questions or t«> int» rlH ,]aU;d statements by other Senators, or to nec essary business not connected with the bill he was discussing. His good humor tsMfcS rtvnTTADtr?, TH* 4ctomiinatioiJ inflexible, his irony superb and his vo cabulary unlimited. When Mr. Carter stood aside at last to allow ttie Senate to engage in the concluding ceremonies of the session and to adjourn sine die,he had saved to the Treasury fifty million dollars. Few orators have ever spoken to better purpose, or showed a greater knowledge of all the little streams, big streams, dry streams and wet streams that flow through the United States er, is having H special sale, thin month, and is selling lots of goods. Ira Renfrew has all he can do at his chop and saw mill on the .South Hide. •J. ('. Renfrew was a business visitoi in Butler, Saturday. Benjamin Harrison on our Kela tions to Great Britain. While we are unable to conc-nr in all the opinions expressc-d by ex-Pres:dent Harrison upon current topics in the North American Review, we heartily approve of what he says this mc 3th about the alliance, sometimes mooted, between the United States and Great Britain. The subject perhaps would not be worth discussing had not Mr. Cham berlain once referred to it as an impend ing. if not accomplished, fact. The truth, of coarse, is that no convention to tha" effect has ever been signed, nor is there any evidence that the subject has been discussed, even informally, by the r pn sentatives of the respective 1: lion-j. With regard to the so-called tie of kinship, Gen. Harrison admits that, while the Scot, the Irishman, the Wein man, the German, the Frenchman, the Hollander, the Dane, the Sweede. the Norwegian and lately, the Italian and the Slav, have all brought contributions to the complex American product, our speech is wholly, and onr derived in stitutions are chiefly, English. Indis putably, we have pride in the great poets, philosophers, jurists, historians and story writers who have honored the tongue we nse, and we are grateful to them. Gen. Harrison is careful to point ont, however, that the debt is personal, not national. The saino dis tinction is kept in view, when he con cedes that we recognize a fellowship with the stout Britons who sheared the prerogatives of the Stuart kings, and with the English martyrs who died for freedom of worship. We are grateful, however, to them, not to the govern ment that persecuted them. Gen. Har rison submits that it is not logical to de rive from such considerations the de duction that onr sympathies mnst be given to every British Ministry that in augurates a war without reference to its origin or justice. "We did not take English literature or English law by voluntary conveyance upon a conside tion of love or affection." It is further suggested that the ar gument for a friendly spirit toward Great Britain might be stronger if the plea of gratitude were made less of. Manifestly, gratitude takes account, not of one incident, but of all relevant in cidents during a nation's existence. For that reason pro-British Americans might deem it expedient not to strike the average between 1774 and 18fW. Things might be found in it that it would be pleasanter to forget than re member. In connection with this sub ject. Gen. Harrison directs attention to a fact, which we have often pointed ont the fact, namely, that previously to the Spanish-American War, the historian cannot find in British-American diplo matic intercourse a single instance where friendship for the L nited States led to any substantial abatement of British pre tensions.or to sympathetic at titude toward us in the times of our stress and agony, or even to the exhibi tion of any special consideration when a demand for redress was presented. We are reminded that "the demand for the release of Mason and Slidell was couched in very harsh and peremptory terms. Nay, it is understood that, but for the kindly intervention of Queen Victoria, an abasement would have been put upon as that we could only have accepted with a time reservation, that is to sav, until our fleets and armies had finished the work in hand. " Gen Witrrison recalls that, throughout onr Civil Waf, the la titude or Government was hostile and hurtful. Its unfriendliness only stepped short of an open alliance wi* h * l " 1 " Confederacy. Neither kinship nor a long record Of ostentations reprobation of slavery on the part of British philan thropists availed to overbalance the commercial advantage to l»e derived from trade with a non manufacturing cotton raising nation. "The threaten ing attitude of Great Britain was no small part of the breaking burden that weighed the shoulders of Abraham Lincoln." Although there were notable, examples of good will to the Union canse among individual Britons, as, for instance. John Bright and Gold win Smith, the Lancashire cotton spinners were the only large body of British subjects that showed us a friendship which costs something, In ex-President Harrison's opinion, it is illogical to use Great Britain's dis play of friendliness during the Spanish- American War as a sponge with which to wijss from the tablets of memory the decisive intervention of France during onr Revolution and the helpful attitude of Rnssip, during our Civil War. He thinks that the spongo should be u->ed only to efface any rancorous recollect; n of old manifestations of unfriendliness by Great Britain toward us, »r by us to ward her, and to give 11s a clean slate' upon which, we may hope, shall be re corded an unbroken future of kindli ness and good will. Here we are re minded that Washington did not allow gratitude to France for an armed and saving intervention in onr behalf to be made the justification of alliance that would bring us into European entangle ments. Why, then should we now allow the friendly non-intervention of Great Britian during the Spanish war, a non-intevention which cost her noth ing, to lie thus used ? On the whole, Gen. Harrison in con vinced that a flood of /nab and nnreaeon about "an Anglo-Saxon paramountry" and about alleged irrepressible sympa thies of English speaking peoples ip likely rather to thwart, than to promote a good understanding. To every flood there comes an ebb. Would not any attempt, he auk*, to put Great Britain and the United State* in the relation of allien have an inevitable tendency to raise up awl strengthen an anti-British party in the Uuited States, and an aiit;- Ainerican party in Ore.it Britain? Wonld not bariud injuries and gi ndgeH l>e dug up and exploited for a domestic party advantage? The*- are forces that become destructive if they are pent; from this point of view opinion • and gunpowder are in the same class " Oen. Harrison holds that, if a friend ship between Great Britain and the United States, that will make tleir im mediate relations cordial and combine their influence for peace and human pn«gross, is to be made permanent and become a fixed status, it must be found edon a moral, instead of a commercial, basis. Morals abide; commercial inter ests shift. The friendship must not in volve enmity to the rest of the world, fir exact an approval by the one nation of every public act of tho other ll must not lie put u|siri grounds too tenuously sentimental, nor must tho quid pro quo argument lie too much pressed. In a word, if the great English »p"ak ing nations are to l>e lasting friends, it' they are to live together in amity and work together in their foreign policies, it must be upon a basis that does not repel, but invites, the participation of all other civilized peoples in every pro ject for the development and peace of mankind not upon tho pernicious and 1 utile project of an Anglo-Saxon domi ; nation.—N. Y. Sun, IIABRISBURG. On W dne liy last Gov. Stone ap pointed J. Willis Martin, Robert Ral ston and Maxwell Stevenson to be the Judges of the new Court of Common Pleas lately created by the Legislature for Philadelphia.

Thomas S. Bigelow. of Pits wns in conference with him that night. Both Houses passed resolutions of re-pert for Senator Magee, Monday, and then adjourned till Wednesday. The Frecport Bank Matter. With tears streaming down his aged face and his bodv shaking with emotion. Cashier C. M. Lndwick, of the Freeport bank, confessed to President Isaac Guckenheimer, Tuesday, that he, and not his son Charles, was a defaulter. The confession was made at the home of the cashier, and as the old man told the story of his dishonor to the man who had first placed him in the bank, his familv joined their tears with his. The scene affected Mr. Guckenheimer greatly, and be could hardly realize that the gray-haired man whom he had trust ed for so many years had broken the trust reposed in him. President (Jnckenheimer, on receiving word from Freeport that President Lud wick had disappeared, went to that place. Lndwick was found early Mon day morning Mr. Guckenheimer saw him at the Lndwick home. He was there told the story of the defalcation by his aged cashier, and that the son Charles had sacrificed himself to save his father from imprisonment. The old man told bow he had taken the bank's money and used it in speculation, intend ing each week to cover the shortage of the one before. For five years he had been taking a little at a time, all of which he had lost, until the amount bad exceeded 285,000. After the confession Cashier Lndwick turned over to the bank soo,ooo in col lateral. As this more than covers the shorlage. President Guckenheimer said last night that the board of directors of the bank had decided to enter no prose cutions against its former cashier as the institution was amply protected. The S. IS. Convention at Slippery Hock. Ten years ago the county Sunday school convention was held in this vil lage, and now in the first year of the new century, the friends and partakers of the county work are to visit us again.

No, decidedly no Of what use is tbe best educated man in this grand Republic of ours if he can not face an audience'/ Some of the best speakers of the pr< s etit, some of our ministers, tell us their knees knock together and their teeth fairly chatter when they come before an audience. Then 1 s-iy, train the children to be able to come before an audience and do their best with right good will. Stick to the right with iron nerve. Nor, from .the path of duty, swerve.
