Our unique Governor is plainly de termined that criticism of his remark able acts shall not he permitted to dwell too long on a single phase. Confronted with the protests of the press and also of the judiciary against bis unrivaled use of the appointing power to provide for himself a place on the Bnpreme Bench he gives the pnblic a new topic of amazement by declaring that "Penn sylvania, of all American Common wealths, was the first to recognize the degeneracy of the press, and che alone has provided a law for the correction of that evil. " The tact that the vaunted law added nothing whatever to the legislation, on the subject, except to encourage petty suits for non-libelons errors, is a minor phase of this fnlmination. Its promi nence is in the fact that the Governor of the great State of Pennsylvania de clares that the press not alone of his State but of the entire nation is degen erate. The Gubernatorial condemna tion has advanced several points since the deliverance on the Salus-Grady leg islation, Then the theory was that the press as s whole was pretty well be bared. Bat because there were obnox ious examples which made fan of the Gubernatorial boots the entire macs most be exposed to petty prosecution#. Now the condemnation takes in the whole mass The only explanation for this pro gress to the stage of universal condem nation is that the press has spoken very . freely and not flatteringly of the Gu bernatorial project to use the appoint ing power to provide for bis own f atare fa a way that shocks every sense of public morality where it exists. Bnt if the press is degenerate for that revul sion there are indications that the de generacy is contagious. Members of the bar appear to be degenerate The occupants of that lofty bench to which the Governor aspires must be getting degenerate since tome, if not all.of them are protesting against the scandal. In deed, the danger threatens that the de generacy may become epidemic and spread over the whole State, excepting, of coarse, the political machine which trades in offices and turns out legislation t) order. That is proof against any aach degeneracy as carei for public morals. The real significance to the press of Pennsylvania of this fnlminatian is not that it was nttered by the Governor, who has long taken himself ontside the realms of argument. It is that it was nttered at a gathering of the political organization that rules Pennsylvania, for the glorification of its active mana ger, who exerted an arbitrary and law less power to force the passage of the Salus-Grady job, and that it evoked no dissent from the political rulers. Un der those circumstances there appears to be an onus on the press of Pennsyl vania, and particularly the Republican press, to show whether it is degenerate or not. There has been an obvious and inevit able disposition among Republican newspapers to speak freely of the amaz ing Governor. Bnt there is still a dis position there toward subservience to the political dictators who ordered bis pet legislation and hear his fnlminations approvingly. If this exhibition of the boss idea that the newspapers of the State are chattels, to be either bought or booted into subjection, does not pro duce a revolt the Governor's impeach ment of degeneracy will have at least a partial verification.—Dispatch. Gov. PENNYPACKER would, no doubt be "a novelty on tho supreme bench. Any man who prates about the deca dence of the press as does Pennypacker mnst have devoloped processes of ob servation and reasoning entirely differ ent from normal. Ordinarily there is a uniformity and fixedness about the dry opinions of the supreme court that make the reading of opinions a burden to the average layman. A deliverance on a judicial problem reasoned ont like the Pennypacker defense of the libel bill would command a premium after a few years. The public demand is for novel ty, innovation, A change. Pennypacker meets the demand of the hour, and the public should not be robbed of its pleasures."— Leader. JOHN D. RCXKK.KKLLKUH resigna tion as a Director of the United States Steel Corporation, although bis term did not expire until the annual meeting in April, was the sensation of the finan cial district of New York, Monday. Steel stocks dwindled as a result. Hen ry Pbipps, former partner of Andrew Carnegie, fn the Carnegie Steel Com pany. and a close personal friend of H. C. Frick will sncceed Mr. Rockefeller on the board This means that very shortly Mr. Frick is to appear as the ACTUAL dominating man in the great corporation. RUSSIA and Japan continue to pre pare for war, while professing to hope for peace. Candidate Disqualified. The unexpected exposure by the Phil adelphia Press of the deep scheme of Governor Pennypacker to secure the Republican nomination for the vacancy on the supreme court bench at the com ing state convention seems to h&ve punctured the miniature boom of the chief executive. Unless the governor can answer the accusations of the Press —which does not seem possible —the embryo candidate is clearly disqualified. The Press Saturday says editorially. The revelation made by the Press of the astonishing proposal to trade upon the supreme court vacancy and upon the attorney generalship in order to Berve Gov. Pennypacker's desire to go on the supreme bench has produced a profound impression throughout the state, as was inevitable from its nature. It is everywhere recognized as adding a far deeper dye to what was already re garded as an unworthy and indecent attitude. It is further accepted as en tirely disqualifying the governor for the place he seeks, and as compelling either his voluntary retirement from the field or such a movement through the state as will deepen his humiliation. There was and is no escape from this conclusion. Unless the etatement could be denied—and denial is impossible—it carried immediate and crushing con demnation. No right-minded man could justify or defend an act of such manifestly flagrant character. To make a seat on the supreme bench a matter of bargain, to throw in the attorney generalship of the state as an addition al inducement and to undertake this trafficking in the interest of the official who had the appointment to make is a which needs no characteriza- tion. Si*ply to describe it is to char acterize it. There is no variation in the note of reprobation. The only alter native was'an expression of incredulity. Could it be possible that such a dis closure was true? Was there not some mistake about it? Unfortunately for Governor Pennypacker no such refuge is open to him. The Piess did not speak till it waa sure. It holds in its hands indubitable evidence It has no need to ask as to the verity. It knows. We do not dwell at this moment on the painful and distressing position in which this exposure leaves the govern or. The first concern is the honor of the state. The first duty is to save the supreme court from the degradation in which the consummation of this nefar ious scheming would place it. That tribunal has a high and just sense of its own honor and dignity. It has re cently given renewed evidence of its purpose to maintain its probity and self-respect. How indignant it must feel at this attempt to defile it 3 sacred robe and must revolt against the threatened dishonor every respecting citizen can understand. Its voice, 1 though restrained, can be beard. It summons the bar and the people to pro tect jt, and that summons must fce obeyed. The public appeal has jnst be gun. Unless rendered unnecessary it will ring through the state with irre sistible force. SINCE the beginning of work on the construction cf the Wabash line from Toledo. 0.. to Baltimore, including the extension into Pittsburg, there have been eigbt successive steps in the prog ress of the Gonld project which have already involved an expenditure of more than $78,000,000. This represents about three-quarters of the total cost of build ing the road to tidewater and complet ing the connections of the various links that will give the Gould interests a tbiough route from sea to see. OWE of the developments of the week was the possibility that criminal action may be taken against Charles M. Schwab as a resnlt of bis methods of handling the Shipbuilding Tiust. If the information received by the New , York World is accurate there is more than a possibility—there is a probabili ty of it. Important interests, so the information goes, that have betn act ing with Mr. Schwab's adherents have deserted him, and in certain con-, tingencies criminal suits will bo brought for which "abundant grounds exist." "Dead Man's Well." The bodies of between 20 and 80 men. who perished from thirst while at tempting to cross the desert b»-twe<n Mopoa and Los Vegas, Nev., have been found within a few weeks, acc >rding to advices received from the latter place. The men, it is believed, wera mostly tramps who attempted to make tie long journey on foot without sufficient supplies of food and wafer to carry them across. Many of the leidie.i found wer« with out clothing and it is believed that the victims had gone insane from thirst and had wandered about in a nude condi tion in search -<f water. Home of the victims are supposed to have drunk water from "Dead Man's Well," which is located almost in the center of the desert. The water from this well, while temporarily alleviating thirst, is sure death to those who drink it. Fairvicw Facts. Miss Nannie McGarvevi* visiting her consins, Rev. and Mrs. E.

There was Panama talk in the Sen ate all last week; the Democrats are de termined to find something to base a Presidential campaign upon. William H. Tafttook possession of the war office, Monday, vice Secretary Root, resigned; and Luke E Wright is now Governor of the Philippines. The danger to the country from Dem ocratic policies is well illustrated by the obstructive tactics that have been brought to bear against the ratifica tion of the Panama Canal treaty. The country is pretty well convinced that the President has but done his duty re garding tne canal, and the time wasted under the direction of ill advised Dem ocratic leadership is regarded by pro gressive Americans as an exhibition of utter incompetency to run the affairs of the nation. There is nothing in the dealings of the administration with Panama and Columbia that is hidden. The President has made public the whole story. The Republicans have accepted and unanimously snpported the Democratic resolution for any fur ther information and correspondence that the President has. and the delay in ratifying the treaty and starting the great enterprise is inexcusable. Without one dissenting vote the House of Representatives, last Satur day, passed a self-denying ordinance by which the members collectively lose SIBO,OOO that they never earned. This would not De considered a virtuous act except for the fact that on all previous occasions tho House has voted the con trary. Horace Greeley spent years in fighting against constructive mileage, and. when he got into Congress for the fraction of a term, used all his energiee in the way of reform—without much success. The present case was a little different from any that have preceded it. Owing to the stubbornness of Uncle Joe Cannon the special session did not adjourn after doing it* work, but merged into the regular session without any appreciable moment of time inter vening. Had the wishes of the Senate been complied with there would have been an interval of nearly two weeks, and then there would haye been no complaint about paying the extra mile age, even if most of the members had remained in Washingtion. The humorous feature of the action of Congress is that a number of warm speeches were made in behalf of the ap propriation and many ingenious argu ments put forth to show that the mem bers were entitled to the gratuity, bnt when it came to a vote there was not a single one who dared to stand up and be counted in favor of it. So far as the balk of the members in the East are concerned the financial loesis not great. Most of them travel on passes anyway, and their mileage is not large even at the liberal rate of twenty cents a mile; but for the members west of the Missis sippi or on the Pacific coast the loss is a very material one. The members from Oregon would have drawn SI2OO each. Could there have been some sort of secret ballot there is Utile doubt that the appropriation would have passed. Prospect.
