Mr. Pattison might sav himself and his part?
a great 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 KepiesenUitivcs, as the Ilepublicaus would still
have the President and Senate. Iu view of the
utter impossibility of the Democrats carrying
anything this year, the Senator is exceedingly
gracious in thus early conceding 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 propoganda in the last two campaigns for
the Presidency and it is too late to shy now.
When W. J. IJ.'g card is sent to liiin the Demo
cratic standard hearer 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 next session of Congress.
lhe I resident lias been iu conference during the
last few weeks with leaders of the Republican
party and congress will doubtless enact some law
which will control! and reirulate those cornor-
ations which have been organized in restrain of
trade.
The Democratic newspapers are engaged in
the .same old occupation of trying to make the
people of the country lielieve 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 mau and working women abroad are
paid Ix'ggarly wages in all lines of industry.

Senator Quay is determined that the Pennsyl
vania delegation in the next Congress 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 lie 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 ou 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 satisfac
tory. Somo jieople are not satisfied with any
thing but one long holiday and soup houses.
"The golden rule is the lest guide iu every
walk and - experience in life." This was the
central thought of a talk on labor by Senator
Hauna at Cleveland. He holds that capital is
palsied without laltor and 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
Ilanim 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 ol
the serious consideration of both these great forces.

Judge Pennypackir Resigns Office
to Go on the Stump.
A GREAT bAND Or- SPELLBINDERS
Pattison Is Dodging tho Froo Sllvor
Issue, and Refuses 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 indl
rations 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 week
before the election in November.
There will be associated with him the
greatest company of spell-binders that
over travelled the state.
It has not been settled definitely as
to who will compose the Pennypacker
party, but among the names mentioned
are those of Senator Penrose, Assistant
Tnlted States District Attorney Jas.
M. Beck, Ex-Postmaster Charles Emory
Smith, Ex-Governors Hastings and
Beaver. Attorney General John P. Elk
ins, Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew
art. General Jas. Latta, Hampton L.
Carson. George S. Graham and possibly
United States Senator Chauncey M. D
pow. Tbe Democrats are going to put a
bond of spell-binders on the road that
vill represent tbe best speakers in
their party. It naturally follows that
Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison will
lead tbe combination.' Other mem

PATTISON RUNS FROM BRYAN.

kit Wm. Jennina Bryan whose ardent
mdmirer he was four years ago. A very
junny incident attended the appearance
of Wm. J. Bryan in Philadelphia last
week. Bryan was on his way to Allen-
Hf uwkcrftfic meetlnr.
IV U W a "
."When be reached Philadelphia there
was not a corporal' guard of Demo
sats to meet him. Every prominent
Democrat in the ity bad run away.
Robert E. Pattison. Democratic tan
Hda.tje for roveroor. was tbe tnost con
cnlruona aiuoriz the miHSillg. He
made it convenient to be in New York
.-when lirvan arrived in Philadelphia.
"Democratic City Chairman Charles H.
-Donnelly and CotumiissLuner Thus. J.
Ttyan were also among the ttamt ones.
Judge Gordon couid'nt be expected to
Bft Mr. Bryan because be had op
'pobed him. and so the up-fhot 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
state, both stalwart and independent.
have been devoting considerable edi
torial Fpacc to an outline of what can
didates Pennypacker and Pattison will
discus!!. Ti:t York Daily Dispatch,
heretofore a loading Independent Re- I
publican newspaper cleverly puts the J
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
of 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 PhilllplneB, and denounce ex
pansionin Illinois, but he will be as
silent 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.
Tho Republican party is again united,
and tbe Republican nominee, after he
reaches tbe 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
bersburg, 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
tico 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, be stood resolutely
for the Kansas City platform tariff re
form and the unlimited and indepen
dent coinage of silver at the dishonest
ratio of 16 to 1.
"In tbe meantime while Pattison is
studying how he may make a canvass
for Governor and avoid touching upon
any issue of vital importance to tbe
nation. Judge Pennypacker is prepar
ing toTeelgn bis 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 tbe leading Issues of the day,
and espnrlally 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-dvlJiMd creature of
the Phil 11 pines will be raised to a high
level sjf cltlienuhip."
A .haracterlstlc ride light was thrown
an Judge Pennypacker when a Phila
delphia reporter called on him in con
OKction wjth the announcement of his
retirement from the bench, and re
quested an interview.-. The Judge de
clined to be interviewed nuylng:
"I do hot deem It consistentwlth my
judiciary position to be interviewed for
publication, particularly on political
subjects. Of 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 leader of 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 tho State.
The bulk of Pennsylvania's busi
ness in Washington resU on the
broad shoulders of Senator Boles
Penrose. The Junior Senator bas al
ways borne this burden. It Is an heri
tage of the office. Quay did it when
Cameron was the senior 8enator, 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 600 letters. It embraces every
thing from the prayer of a broken
hearted mother whose soldier son bas
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 of 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'!
private secretary attends to all the
i business of his office, whllo tbe 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 tbe services or an
assistant to tbe secretary and four
stenographers.
Tbe rooms 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 tbe Maltby building, where all
day the "clack" of the typewriters goes
ceaselessly on. There are tbe 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 facta dem
onstrate: Pennsylvania is larger than
New England wltn its 12 Senators, and
the records of tbe Senate post office
shows that the mall of Pennsylvania's
Senators Is the largest that goes
through the office with tbe 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 be 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 Fiti-
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 gtve security to property and
maintain order in tbe Island. If they
do not come up to tbe mark the island
must become either a part of tbe
United States or a dependency of this
country."
Moros Attack Engineers.
Manila, July 29. A party of engi
neers, commanded by Lieutenant
Brown, encamped at Matalang river,
were attacked by Moras at midnight
on Friday. The attack was repulsed
Without loss to tbe 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.

PLANTS WHICH WALK.
Several Well -Known prrlmer
Have Acquired the Habit of
Jumping; or Creeping;.
Not a few plant are postered of
the actual power of migration, not
aierely by their seeds becoming scat
tered, but by an actual geographical
movement from year to year. The
ommon 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 last
year's stem. Tulips planted in the
shade will often find their way to a
sunny spot. There is a North Ameri
can fern which sends out n long, gracefully-arching
frond, which, under the

burden of its weight of buds and leaves,
bends to the earth and the tip takes
root, and a new plant soon bursts out
at 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 plants at every point
or at intervals. The familiar quitch,
twitch, or couch, is of this character;
but the most striking examples are to
lie found in in a rani grass and tea sedge
that occur on sand dunes by the sea.
These plants of the seashore make
rope of their enormous creeping root
ttocks wherewith the sands are tied
together, and many banks that would
otherwise wash away with its first
high tide are held intact. Philadel
