Tur wife of the former Italian Pre-
| mier has set the new fashion in Italy of
appearing at outdoor festivities accom-
panied by a tame calf, which, attired in
a richly-gilded coat of vellum, with rib-
bons, follows her like a dog. Other
fashionable women have followed her
example. When it becomes very much
the fashion among jeunesse doree, labels
will probably be necessary to tell which
is the calf and which isn’t.—Johnstoun

Tie Wathena, (Kan.) Star cites the
attention of its readers to the following
statistics, which are no doubt cold com-
fort to one Billy” Bryan: “In Rich-
ardson county, Neb., there ghave been
filed daring the year 1897, 203 farm
mortgages, amounting to $257,343. Dur-
ing the same length of time 277 farm
mortgages have been released, amount-
ling to $307,243.60. There have been 96
| city mortgages filed amounting to $46,-

| amounting to $40,344.47. In the mat-
| ter of chattel mortgages, 624 have been
| tiled, aggregating $526,109.49 and the
released mortgages are 332 in number
and amount to $223,558.27. During 1897
there have been only two farm mort-

Tire Johnstown Daily 7ribune reels
off a great chunk of common sense in
the. following: “The pardon board hav-
| ing reported favorably, it only remains
| for Governor Iastings to say the word
‘and there will follow the liberation of |
| Major William C. Moreland, the City
| Attorney of Pittsburg, who is now in.
| the Western Penitentiary for stealing
| many thousands of dollars from that
| city. Of course Governor Ilastings
will speak the word, since money and
influence are behind the requests for
him to do so,and especially since More-
otion of the country in that year was
land’s thrift was of thousands. Iladhe i
stolen a few dollars, a sack of flour, or a
bushel of potatoes to keep his family
from hunger, he would have to serve |
out his full term if his health were
twice as bad as Mr. Moreland’s’is al-
leged to be.”
Tur McKinley wave of prosperity is
evidently getting in its work. Follow- |
ing is the way the last issue of Dun’s
Review reports trade and business con-
ditions: “Actual payments through
clearing houses in January made a re-
markable showing, being much® larger |
than in any prévious month, 36.3 per
cent. Inrger than the same month last |
year, and 7.1 per cent. larger than in |
1892... The failures in January were |
smaller than in any previous year of |
which there is record, and were prob- |
ably smaller than in any other January
since 1881. The statement by branches
of business given this week shows asur-
prising gain in most departments of
manufacture and trade. No failures
appear in the woolen manufacture, and
in several branches only an insignificant
aggregate compared with the failures of
previous years. Meanwhile the money
market is as confident as ever; gold
does not come from Europe in large
amount only because bankers find it
worth while to lend American money
abroad, and the commercial balances
are heavily in favor of the United States
as heretofore.”
AUDITOR (FENERAL MyrniN predicts |
that unless revenue pours into the State
coffers from unexpected quarters, the |
Commonwealth will be $4,000,000 behind
by November 30th next, the end of the |
fiscal year. There is still $3,000,000 due |
the school districts, which must be paid |
before the first Monday in June. Should |
the Inheritance Tax law or the Alien
Tax law be finally determined’ to be
constitutional, which hardly seems prob-
able in either case, there would be some
relief, but the crippled {finances would
not be cared. With the very best that
could come to pass, the Auditor-General
looks for a deficit of $1,000,000 each for
the two years ending next November.

gregations. Incomplete reports secur-
¢«d showed a Jewish population of
189,756. By 1880 these figures had
increased to 230.257. The total popula-
50,755,788. It is calculated that since
1880 something over 458,000 Jews have
immigrated to the United States. This
addition, together with the increase
through births, gives at a conservative
estimate a present Jewish population
of 938,000. The total population of the
country is now estimated to he 75,000,-
000. In other words, it is one-half
larger than it was 17 years ago, while
the Jewish population is more than
four times larger. The Jews are not
numerous in agricultural states. Their
greatest numbers are'in states having
large cities, as, for instance, New York,
350,000; Pennsylvania, 85,000; Illinois,
85,000 ; Ohio, 50,000; California, 85,000;
Maryland, 385,000; Missouri, 25,000; New
Jersey, 25,000; Louisiana, 20,000; Mas-
sachusetts, 20,000. .
In Case of War.
Those who are so anxious to embroil
the country in a war with somebody
would do well, once in a while, to con-
sider whether we are prepared toacquit
ourselves well in case they should be
successful in their efforts. We have
been talking of war for a considerable
time, but we have not been preparing
for it. A few weeks ago, in the House
of Representatives, Congressman Me-
Clellan severely criticised the organiza- |
tion of our small army, and claimed
that it would prove inefficient in case
of emergency. In this he was later fal-
ly sustained by no less a person. than
Gen. Miles, .the head of the army. A
short time ago the discovery was made |
that the government did not have |
enough “powder and ammunition on
hand to supply the army beyond a few |
days in case of active servige. Just this |
week the report of a board that had |
been visiting the Southern coast defens- |
es was made, and it was shown that all |
of our Southern seaports were practi- |
cally unfortified, and that the ships of
an enemy could, almost unhindered, lay
under tribute
scarcely any risk.
No foreign enemy could, of course,
invasion of the country, but he could
destruction. We have
are to become a warlike nation and be
constantly putting a chip on our shoul-
of millions of dollars in fortifying those
coasts, and we will have to expend
hundreds of other millions in increas-
ing ournaval equipment, without count-
in reorganizing, enlarging and re-equip-
ping our army. It is an exceedingly
large contract which, we must enter up-
on if we want to be as warlike as some
of our statesmen would seem to wish™

His official career was an honorable

The Philadelphia Conference.
The Conference at the Bourse yes-
terday was large in numbers, high in
character and resolute inpurpose. It
embraced representative Republicans
from nearly every county in the State
who assembled under a deep sense of
the perils which menace the party in
Pennsylvania and with an earnest de-
termination to do what lies in their
power to avert these threatening dan-
gers.
of the demonstration cannot be over-
estimated. It will challenge instant
attention from the Delaware to the
Ohio. Whether men sympathize with
| it or not, they must recognize its char-
acter, respect its voice and consider its
meaning.
The Republican party of Pennsylva-
nia stands over a volcano. Every Re-
publican who is honest with. himself
knows that there is profound restive-
ness and dissatisfaction throughout the
State. It is directed Against the arbi-
trary and offensive machine methods
which have stifled free action and have
imposed an autocratic and illiberal con-
trol upon the organization. It is em-
phasized because of the flagrant de-
bauchery which, under this bossism,
banded the venal cohorts of the last
Legislature and organized the auda-
cious raids upon the Treasury and the
legislative assaults upon the public in-
were only halted and
throttled by the fidelity and courage of
Governor Hastings. And it isaccentu-
ated by the bold and undisguised cam-
paign of the master spirits in that car-
nival of profligacy to control the State
Convention and make a machine nomi- |
nation so that they can “own the Gov- |
ernor’” and thus remove the only ob-
stacle between them and the complete
consumation of their schemes.
These are patent and palpable facts.
The unrest and discoutent produced by
this glaring jobbery are plain to every
observer. Thespirit of revolt is in the
air. It prompted nearly 120,000 inde-
pendent votes last November.
aggravated by the present signs of an-
other Delamater campaign with the
danger of another Delamater disaster.
The truth cannot be changed by shut-
ting our eyes to it. The demonstration
at the Bourse yesterday was an expres- |
sion of this popular feeling and protest.
Its strength lies in the fact that there
is behind it a deep and general public
sentiment that, unless the forces which
assume to control the Republican or-
| ganization are checked and made to re-
alize the true situation, the Republican |
party of Pennsylvania will be precipi-
tated upon the shoals and rocks and
plunge to inevitable shipwreck. This
uprising not simply a revulsion
against arbitrary and narrow machine
rule. Its exiraordinary depth and inten-
sity spring from the public indignation
at the disgraceful scandals of the last
session and from the public conscious-
is
ness that this campaign for Governor |
involves the triumph or the defeat of
this hideous jobbery at the next ses-

be fought to the finish. It is a chal-

One thing, however, we assume from
the spirit and character of the demon-
stration, may be taken for granted.
The men engaged in it are in dead
earnest and they are determined at all
hazards to call a halt on the machine.
They will, as we interpret their action,
be just as resolute, just as courageous,
just as unyieldihg as the bosses. In
this great struggle it is for patriotic
and sincere Republicans who stand
above faction and who are profoundly
concerned for the unity, harmony and
vitality ‘of the party because of the
momentous national interests before us
toconsider what this exigency demands.
The greatest stake is involved. It will
be easy now, with unwise counsels on
the part of the machine leaders, to
sacrifice the Governorship, lose the
Legislature and throw away several
Congressmen. Under these circum-
stances they should hear and heed 4he
unmistakable warning that comes to
them. They can prudently listen to
voice of the people and save the party;
they can madly and recklessly go on
and plunge themselves and the party
in a common disaster.— Philadelphia
Press.
Cotton for Japan.
About 30,000 bales of cotton are book-
ed for shipment-to Japan this winter
from the single port of Seattle. This is
said to be 50 per cent. more in value
than the value of all American exports
to Japan during the season of 1894-95.
Light is thrown on two interesting facts
by this news: First, the fact that
America is rapidly enlarging its grasp
of the markets of the world, and, sec-
ond, the fact that Japan is not standing
still in the race of the nations. The lat-
ter fact is particularly important in
view of the dispositon in some quarters
to think the danger of Japanese acquire-
ment, of the Hawaiian islands is remote
if not imaginary.—Chicago Tripun :.
The Trouble in New England.
A few figures given to the World by
the Governor of North Carolina illus-
trate the rapidity with which the in-
i dustry of cotton spinning and weaving
is migrating from New England to the
{ South. In 1886 North Carolina had 80
cotton mills; in 1897 it had 1,010. In
1886 it had 4,071 looms; in 1897 it had:
24517 looms. In 1886 it had 199,433
spindles; now it has 1,044,385 spindles.
North Carolina is only one of the cot-
ton growing states in which the spin-
ning and weaving industry is increas-
ing at this rate. The others are not far
| behind, and some of them show an even
greater increase. With abundant water
| power, with cheap coal, with extraor-
dinarily cheap labor, and with the cot-
ton fields at their very doors, the South-
ern cotton mills will assuredly “take
| the business.”
The Luck of Democracy.
The more the case is considered the
[more willing will the country be to
agree with Secretary Long, who says
[tife Teller resolution settles the elec-
of next fall. Whatever chance
the Democrats may have had, through
| the fealty of men to their party, has
| been thrown away in the new piece of
| folly that was perpetrated in again pro-
| posing to threaten the stability of the
| business man’s dollar and the working-
| man’s wages.
In 1896 people refused. to be deluded
by the promise ot better times in case
of disorganization of money values, and
now that business has revived and every
man knows just what his day’s income
| is worth when he earns it, he will have
less desire to experiment than when he
was perhaps doing nothing under the
| withering influences of the last Demo-
cratic administration and policy.
There are some things the Democracy
can preach that appeal to men, but the
| destruction of values is not one of them.
Had the lesson of 1896 been realized
and the absurd silver issue been thrown,
15
away, and Bryanism and Tellerism with
it, the Democrats might have made an
i interesting fight for the next Congress.
But to run up the black flag and declare
war upon those doctrines that have
| brought the Nation out of the idleness
and suffering of the panic is to arouse
the enmity of the man who depends up-
on his industry for his livelihood and
| force him in self-defense toseek shelter
! beneath’ the banner of protection to
American industry and to the American
dollar when it earned. —Littsbury
