Mr. Pattlson might ear himself and his party
a gi-eat deal of worry by raising in his place and
moving to make the election of Judge Penny-
packer unanimous.
Senator Vest, Democrat, of Missouri, reads the
sign correctly. He says it is of no importance
that the Democrats should carry the next House
of Kepiescntatives, as the Ilepublicaus would still
have the President and Senate. In view of the
utter impossibility of the Democrats carrying
anything this year, the Senator is exceedingly
gracious in thus early concetlin victory to the
llepublicans.

Pattison can't lose Bryan this trip try hard as
he may. He stood with the orator of the free
silver propogandu in the last two campaigns for
uie i resiliency ami it is too late to shy now.
When W. J. B.'s card is sent to him f lip Demo
cratic standard bearer will not dare to say that
he is not in. The old association may be un
pleasant, but it is not always easy to shake old
friends.
There is no doubt that important legislation
affecting the so-called trusts will be considered
and acted upon at the uext session of Congress.
Hie President has been in conference durimr the
last few weeks with leaders of the Republican
party and congress will doubtless enact some law
which will controll and regulate those corpor
ations which have been organized in restrain of
trade.
The Democratic ncwspaiH,rs are engaged in
the .anie old occupation of trying to make the
people of the country believe that the consumers
in this country are very much worse off tlian
the consumers in foreign countries. They are al
ready publishing comparative lists of prises,
but carefully omit the important fact that the
working man and workiug women abroad are
paid beggarly wages in all lines of industry.
They point out, for instance, that a firstclass pi
no which oorts the foreigners $300 is sold to
Americans for $375. We have not yet received
the quotations on diamonds, but have no doubt
that they will appear as the campaign advances.
Senator Quay is determined that the Pennsyl
vania delegation in the next Cougress shall not
show any less number of Republican than the
present delegation. As a matter of fact, he is
planning to carry additional districts under the
new apportionment act. With the ragged Dem
ocratic organization in this State a solid Re
publican delegation would not be a great surprise.
It is important to hold up the hands of the
President on the eve of a great national campaign
and Pennsylvania will le close behind him when
the next Congress meets.
Six thousand employees of the Cambria Steel
Company at Johnstown will get an increase of
ten per cent in their wages on August 1st. This
is in harmony with the increase of wages of the
United States Steel Corporation about Pittsburg.
But in face of these increases in wages through
out the country and in spite of the great wave of
prosperity which is rolling from ocean to ocean
certain Democratic leaders of the calamity brand
are insisting that the conditions are not MitisJac-
tory. Somo people are not satisfied with any
thing but one long holiday and soup houses.
"The golden rule is the liest guide in every
walk and -experience in life." This was the
central thought of a talk on labor by Senator
Hanna at Cleveland. He holds that capital is
palsied without lubor aud labor is helpless with
out capital. They must unite, he adds, and it is
an insult to ordinary intelligence to imagine that
they will not both be brought to see it. Senator
Hanna has developed during the last two years
as the consistent and powerful friend of labor and
his sensible, sympathetic views on the question
which distract capital and labor are worthy ot
the serious consideration of both these great forces.

Judge Pennypacksr Resigns Office
j to Go on the Stump.
A GREAT bAND Or- SPELLBINDERS
Pattison It Dodging tht Free Silver
Issue, and Refutes to Meet W. J.
' Bryan What State Newspapers Say
of the Rival Candidates.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Philadelphia, July 29. Pennsylvania
is to witness the liveliest kind of a
campaign this Fall. Indeed from Indi
ra t Ions It will be the liveliest campaign
the Commonwealth has ever seen.
Judge Pennepacker has left the Bench
for the express purpose of participating
In the canvass. His resignation Is In
the hands of the Governor and he will
leave the Bench on August 1st. He
will take the stump about six weeks
before the election in November.
There will be associated with him the
greatest company of spell-binders that
ver travelled the state.
It has not been settled definitely a?
to who will compose the Pennypacker
party, but among the names mentioned
are those of Senator Penrose, Assistant
United States District Attorney Jas.
M. Beck, Ex-PoBtmaster Charles Emory
Smith, Ex-Governors Hastings and
Beaver, Attorney General John P. Elk
Ins, Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew
art, General Jas. Latta, Hampton U
Carson, George S. Graham and possibly
United States Senator Chauncey M. De
paw. The Democrats are going to put a
band of spell-binders on the road that
will represent the best speakers In
their party. It naturally follows that
Ex-Governor Robert E, Pattison will
iead the combination.' Other mem
bers of the, parly will be Ex-Attorney
jpeneral rWt. U.'j Hensel, Congressman
Henry F. Gtetn; Congressman J. K. P.
JUll, George-Wj. Guthrie, candidate for
Jleuteanti oeinar; JHon. r. Har
jrity, Hon. Georg'6 A. JenVs and Btate
Chairman Wm. T. Creasey.
PATTISON RUNS FROM BRYAN,
"r As to tha Issues that will be dis
cussed it can positively be asserted that
the Democratic candidate for governor
Will, not discuss National, Issues nor
ftepublican prosperity. He is very
jnuch afraid of those subjects at the
present time. Mr. Pattison Is ashamed
if Wm. Jennlng Bryan whose ardent
admirer he was four years ago. A very
Jtunny Incident attended the appearance
Of Wm. J. Bryan in Philadelphia last
.week. Bryan was on his way to Allen
town to address a Democratic meeting.
."When he reached Philadelphia there
was not a corporal's guard of Demo'
ctets to meet him. Every prominent
Democrat In the city had run away.
Robert E. Pattison, Democratic can
dldate for governor, was the moat con
-fdIcuous among the missing. He
made it convenient to be In New York
when Bryan arrived in Philadelphia,
Democratic City Chairman Charles E.
-Donnelly and Commissioner Thos. J.
Byan were also among the absent ones.
- Judge Gordon could'nt be expected to
meet Mr.' Bryan because he had op
m posed him, and bo the up-shot was that
the late Democratic candidate for the
Presidency encountered a "freeze-out."
Naturally he was very indignant, and
when he spoke to the Lehigh County
Democrats that night he declined to
mention the name of Ex-Governor Pat
tison or even Invite his hearers to vote
the Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania.
WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY.
The Republican newspapers of the
stale, both, stalwart and Independent,
have boon devoting considerable edi
torial Fpace to an outline of what can
didates Pennypacker and Pattison will
discuss. The York Daily Dispatch,
heretofore a lending Independent Re- I
publican newnpapei cleverly puts the I
matter as follows:
"Ex-Governor Pattison, it Is under
stood, will not discuss national affairs
on the stump in Pennsylvania, but as
he is booked to open the campaign in
Illinois in September he will be per
mitted to shout for tariff reform and
the unlimited and Independent coinage
ot silver at the dishonest ration of 16
to 1. Of course he will take a whack
at the way the Republicans have acted
in the Phllllplnc8, and denounce ex
pansionIn Illinois, but he will be as
Bllent as a clam in Pennsylvania on
such subjects.
"On the other hand Judge Penny-
packer has boldly declared that he will
discuss local issues and national issues.
The Republican party Is again united,
fend the Republican nominee, after he
reaches the Governor's chair, will man
fully carry out his ante-election prom
ises, and Impress upon the Senate and
House that a proper ballot law and oth
er reforms must be enacted."
PATTISON IN ILLINOIS.
The Franklin "Repository" of Cham
bers burg, in pretty much the same
strain has this to say:
"Mr. Pattison is booked by the Dem
ocratic State Commltte of Illinois to
open the campaign in that state early
in September, and as Pattison is pre
cluded from discussing national poli
tics in Pennsylvania, this will afford
him an opportunity of telling the De
mocracy of Illinois that when Cleve
land and Hill, and Whitney and Gen
eral Palmer balked, he stood resolutely
for the Kansas City platform tariff re
form and the unlimited and indepen
dent coinage of sliver at the dishonest
ratio of IS to 1.
"In the meantime while Pattison is
studying how he may make a canvass
for Governor and avoid touching upon
any issue of vital Importance to the
nation, Judge Pennypacker is prepar
ing to resign his judicial office in order
that he may take the stump in advo
cacy of all that the Republican party
in its National and State platform
stands for. '
"Judge Pennypacker will not falter
on any of the leading Issues of the day,
and especially will he stand up for his
party In Its acquisition of the territory
of Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. He knows that under the
aegis of the American flag the ignor
ant, pitiable, half-civilized creatures of
the Philllplnes will be raised to a high
level jf citizenship."
, A characteristic side light was thrown
on Judge Pennypacker when a Phila
delphia reporter called on him In con
nection with the announcement of his
retirement from the bench, and re
quested an Interview.-, The Judge de
clined to be Interviewed saying:'
"I do hot deem it conslstentTwllti my
Judiciary position to be Interviewed for
publication, particularly on political
subjects. Ot course I am a candidate
for office, but I am still on the bench,
and this fact precludes any discussion
of politic or policies. After the first
of August I will be a private citizen.
In the sense that I will be no longer In
office, and then I will be in a position
to discuss any proper subject"
Insurance Commissioner Durham,
Republican leaderof Philadelphia, said :
"Republican campaign speakers this
fall have plenty of material ready to
hand. That Democratic re-unlon at
Nantasket Beach furnishes material,
to my mind, for a dozen speeches. If
the Democratic leaders can ruin our
present prosperity to their political ad
vantage they would do It In a moment
Take Senator Camack's utterances as a
sample. He openly threatened revo
lution against present industrial con
ditions. That Is Democratic policy.
Mr. Pattison himself was a vigorous
advocate of the ruinous policy of 16 to
1. The people of Pennsylvania want
no such theorists to direct their affairs.
Pennsylvania Republicans are standing
together this year as they have not
done for years, simply because they
know that any other policy would en
courage the Democrats, and Democratic
success means industrial revolution and
a hold up on our national prosperity."
A SENATOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA
Hs Works Harder Than Any Average
Business Man In the State.
The bulk of Pennsylvania's busi
ness in Washington rests on the
broad shoulders of Senator Boles
Penrose. The Junior Senator has al
ways borne this burden. It is an heri
tage of the office. Quay did it when
Cameron was the senior Senator, and
Penrose does it now that Quay is his
senior. Here are a few statistics and
facts about the Junior Senator's dally
work when congress is in session:
His dally mall averages between 400
and 500 letters. It embraces every
thing from the prayer of a broken
hearted mother whose soldier son has
been court martlaled and for whom
she is begging a pardon, down to the
request of a farmer for an agricultural
bulletin on the destruction of plant
lice. Every mail Is a mixture ot tear
stained epistles, begging, threatening,
demanding and commending letters.
Every letter is answered within
twenty-four hours of its receipt Peo
ple imagine that Senator Penrose's
private secretary attends to all the
I business of his office, while the Sen
ator does nothing but make speeches
and sit in the cloak rooms. That is
a dream of the canal boat era. To
attend to correspondence, file and tab
ulate it, so that any letter received
within five years can be produced in
five minutes, requires the services of an
assistant to the secretary and fonr
stenographers.
The room 8 of the Commltte on Im
migration is Senator Penrose's office.
Here he receives hundreds of callers
every day. Secretary Andrews is in
charge and here letters and telegrams
are dictated. The actual work room is
over In the Maltby building, where all
day the "clack" of the typewriters goes
ceaselessly on. There are the docu
ments, maps, plans, seeds, and other
Impedimenta of senatorial life are fold
ed, wrapped and expressed.
Four persons are engaged in this.
In addition, two men are constantly
employed in visiting the departments
and gathering Information in which
constituents are interested. In all a
staff of eight persons is required to at
tend to his purely clerical and depart
mental work.
Senator Penrose has the reputation
in Washington of being the hardest
worked member of the United States
Senate. His duties are executive rath
er than legislative, as these facts dem
onstrate: Pennsylvania Is larger than
New England wltti Its 12 Senators, and
the records of the Senate post office
shows that the mall of Pennsylvania's
Senators is the largest that goes
through the office with the single ex
ception of Senator Hanna's, and he is
chairman of the Republican National
Committee.
Senator Penrose has distributed more
public documents than all the New
England Senators combined. Last year
he had demands for 50,000 packages of
seeds. Each Senator Is allotted 14,000
packages. By begging from Senators
whose constituents were careless, Mr.
Penrose secured the whole amount de
manded. At the last session Senator Penrose
introduced and had passed more bills,
than any two Senators. Pennsylvania
had more claims against the govern
ment than all the rest of the United
States put together. They were border
raid claims, claims of the state against
the National Government of ship buil
ders, armor plate makers, and the
thousand and one individual claims for
losses sustained. All told over 600
bills of every kind were introduced by
the Junior Senator. Since he went Into
office he has handled over 30,000 pen
sion claims for three wars. Colonel
George Nox McCain, In the Philadel
phia Press.
Crisis In Cuban Affairs.
Indianapolis, July 28. General Fits
hugh Lee said last night: "I believe
that the crisis in Cuban affairs is now.
The Cubans were promised an inde
pendent government, and they have
It. Now they will have to prove that
they can give security to property and
maintain order in the island. If they
do not come up to the mark the Island
must become either a part of the
United States or a dependency of this
country."
Moros Attack Engineers.
Manila, July 29. A party of angl
Beers, commanded by Lieutenant
Brown, encamped at Matalang river,
were attacked by Moros at midnight
on Friday. The attack was repulsed
Without loss to the Americans. Three
Moros were killed. Friendly natives
report that the Sultan of Naull per
sonally led the attack, thinking the
American camp with without sentries.

Not a few plants are posseted of
the actual power of migration, not
aierelv by their seeds becoming scat
tered, but by an actual geographical
movement from jenr to year. The
rominon purple orchid, for instance,
forms a new bulb each year, and each
year the new shoot appears nearly an
inch from the root occupied by Inst
vear's stem. Tulips planted in the
shade will often find their way to a

burden of its weight of buds and leaves,
bends to the earth and the tip takes
root, and a new plant soon bursts out
ut this spot. This peculiarity has
gained for the fern the popular names
of "walking leaf" and "jumping fern."
Several grasses and. sedges develop
creeping stems of great length, which
give rise to new plunts at every point
or at intervals. The familiar quitch,
twitch, or couch, is of this character;
but the most striking examples are to
be found in in a rani grass and sea sedge
that occur on-sand dunes by the sea.
These plants of the seashore make
ropes of their enormous creeping root
stocks wherewith the sands are tied
together, and many banks that would
otherwise wash away with its first
