Brown, Myron Moyer. 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. Kepi bi.ican Ticket.

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. A 111 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. Had Uor. Teacher Why did you do that?

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 sunny Fpot. There is n Xorth Ameri can fern which sends out a lonp, gmce- f ully-arching frond, which, under the THE SEA SEDGE. (Showing Location at End of Second and Third Years.) 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 high tide are held intact.
