THOl'GHT FOK TO-DAY. Tho good deed, through the ages Living In historic pages, Brighter glows and gleams Immortal, Unconsumed by moth or rust. Longfellow. FORWARD. One of tho chlof domestic events of the past week was the announce ment of the President-elect that he will call an extraordinary session of Congress, the date for convening probably being April 15. This de cision Is pleasing to the restless Democratic members of Congress. Manufacturers and producers of ar ticles which are now protected by duties accept the decision of the President-elect with good grace and endeavor to find some consolation in tho fact that an extra session will doubtless lessen the period of un certainty as to what tho new tariff will be. Canada may derive some advantages when laws framed on the principle of a tariff for revenue only are enacted and whatever Canada gains will be without any reciprocity on Its part, such as was sought by President Taft. Our steel industries are not likely to be affected by Cana dian competition. Steel rails are sold in the United States at ?2S per ton. but In Canada the price is $35 per ton and as the Canadian steel companies have a good homo market they will not be apt to seek a market here. Lack of coal in the Dominion Is a handicap to some of that coun try's steel companies. TRADE PROSPECTS BRIGHT. Educated up to tho advatnages of early Christmas shopping, the public has already commenced to buy for tho holiday season which is only about five weeks off. Merchants are stocking up well to meet tho de mands of the "holiday trade which will no doubt be ahead of last year's record, as money is in plenti ful supply among all classes of wage-earners and tho farmers have good bank accounts following the harvesting of exceptionally bountiful crops. A brisk retail trade is ex pected from now to the end of the calendar year in seasonable goods and In those articles which serve best tho purposes of generous St. Nicholas. NOT ANTI-PROTECTIONIST. In the excitement over tho capture by Governor Wilson of tho electoral votes of many states In which ho was the choice of a minority of the elec tors "The Evening Post" falls Into the error of thinking that tho coun try as a whole has indorsed tho tar iff smashing views with which the Democratic party entered this year's campaign. It said: First among tho great gains of his (Mr Wilson's) victory we put the destruction of tho hideous supersti tion about the protective tariff, which was again dragged out the past month In tho hope of deceiv ing, at the same time that It Insult ed, tho Intelligence of the American people. They were asked to de throne reason and to grovel before a fetich. . Wilson's triumph makes an end of the superstitious view of protection. Say not the struggle naught avalleth when this has been accomplished. If Mr. Wilson held a view of pro tection different from and opposed to the view held In common by Mr. Taft and Colonel Roosevelt, that view was certainly not Indorsed by a ma jority of tho voters. Outsido tho Southern States tho vote for the two protectionist candidates for President ran far ahead of tho vote for tho supposedly antl-protectlonlst candi date. There were no signs of a Wil son landslide anywhere. The Dem ocratic nominee merely held or fell below tho normal Democratic vote, and ho would have been left In a decided minority in tho Electoral Col lego If tho protectionist vote had not been divided between two nominees. Compared with the Cleveland over turn In 1892, tho Democratic party still shows a great decline in strength with tho people. Mr. Cleveland won decisive victories In Now York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin and nearly carried Ohio, while Mr. Wilson' vote In those states this year has fallen far below tho total polled by tho two .former sections of tho Republican party, both pledged to protection. by tho Cltlzan Publishing Company. tbo postofflco, Honosdalo, Pa. PRESIDENT K. 11. IIAUDKNIlKRail W. W. WOOD In this state, according to Tho Post's own figures, ho got only G90,S'J3 votes to 840,581 for Taft and Roosc velt. Governor Wilson himself In tho latter part of tho campaign seemed to realize that he could not af'ord to antagonize tho protectionist sen timent of tho majority of tho voters. He threw tho Baltimore platform overboard and described himself as a rational protectionist, anxious merely to eliminate the faults and abuses of tho system. He was a good enough politician to seo that the anti-protectionist view which he was supposed to hold was not the view of the majority, and If he con tinues to exercise political shrewd ness ho will not seriously antagonize the popular verdict Just given In fa vor of retaining the protective sys tem. The "safety first" campaign of tho railroads is a capital thing, and it ought not to be allowed to degener ate into a defense for chronic irregu larity of service. Tho lS-hour trains to Chicago are to bo given up for the winter in favor of 20-hour trains, and this is well; two hours' more or less on so long a journey matters lit tle in comparison with safety and regularity. Whatever schedule is adopted should bo one that can be lived up to day in and day out; too many of our railroad managers live in a beautiful world of illusion. In Turkey tho people go to the station with plenty to eat and wait pa tiently till a. train comes, if it takes all night. Americans want to know approximately when a train Is due, and while they enjoy speed, it is safe to say that they prizo regularity even more. Of course, safety ought not to bo compromised for punctu ality any more than for speed; it is better for a train to bo hours late than to make up time illicitly. But the more time tables aro made to fit facts as they are the less frequently will this alternative recur. The trouble with many of our lines as tho fall pressure comes on Is that they try to keep up an impossible schedule, with a resulting irregular ity "which not only exasperates the public but frays tho nerves of the dispatchers and train crews, so that the risk of accident is greatly In creased. Safety is best promoted by a regular service, and the railroads which aro trying to reduce speed cait best reconcile tho public by making it clear that tho time table means what it says. The four gunmen charged with the murder of Herman Rosenthal in Now York last summer were convicted of murder of the first degree by the Jury and the verdict will undoubted ly bo looked upon with satisfaction by all law-abiding citizens In New York. Tho four assassins who are now under conviction aro of a class of undesirable citizens that have terrorized New York for many months. It will make a few others in the same class lay low for a time while the fear of tho law hangs over them. The verdict also shows that there aro still men In Now York who aro not afraid to uphold tho law In an effort for better govern ment. PROSPEROUS PENNSYLVANIA. Pennsylvania Is freo from debt. Despite tho slanders of partisan malcontents concerning tho manner in which the State has been man aged under Republican rule; de spite Governor Wilson's campaign llings at It, there Is now nothing out standing against it that Is not pro vided for in tho sinking, fund, and inoro than provided for. Thero Is, indeed, after evory last dollar of indebtedness has boon ac counted for, a balance of almost 1119,000 on' tho credit side of tho ledger. As tho Philadelphia Inquirer says, this is a remarkable showing. Match it if you can. Mr. Gladstone missed seeing in his own llfo two things ho ardently de sired homo rule for Ireland and tho expulsion of tho Ottoman emplro from Europe. Both appear to bo near at hand. I.IFK IH A FUNNY PItOPOSITlON. Man comes Into this world with out his consent and leaves against his will. During his stay on earth his tlmo Is spent In one continuous round of contraries and nrlsiindtirstnndlngB by tho balance of tho species. In his Infancy ho Is an angel; In his boyhood ho Is a dovll; In his manhood ho Is everything from a lizard up; In his dotage ho Is a fool. If ho is poor, ho Is a poor mana ger; if ho la rich, ho Is dishonest, ho is a thief and tho law raises tho dovll with him. If he Is a poor manager, ho is a poor mannger; if he Is rich, ho Is dishonest. If ho Is In politics, ho Is a graft er; If ho Is out of politics, you can't place him and he is an undesirable citizen. If ho Is In church he Is a hypro crlte; if ho Is out of church ho Is a sinner and Is damned. The Wom an's National Weekly. NO TAKT RUNNING MATE. Republican! Will Nnmo No Candi dal In Mr. Slicrninn'.s Place. The leaders of tho Republican par ty havo decided that It is unwise to call a meeting of tho National Com mlttco to chooso a successor to the late Vice-President James S. Sher man on tho Republican ticket. Ever since election a discussion has been going on at Republican na tional headquarters on this question. It was argued in favor of tho pro ject that a complimentary nomina tion might be made as a tribute to a prominent Republican. On tho other hand it was pointed out that it was ridiculous to call a meeting at Chicago of tho fifty-three members of the committee to select a candi date who would recoivo eight, or at most twelve electoral votes. On a night that Vice-President Sherman died a meeting was called for November 12. After the election this meeting was postponed indefi nitely. Thero is now no disposition to call one. Till: PEARS OF A REPUBLICAN ORGAN. The administration that will be ushered in next March will bo a sub ject of the greatest interest. Gov. Wilson has never shown a capacity or willingness to co-operate with men who will not hold their will and desires subordinate to him. In whatever situation his lot Is cast ho desires to bo the whole thing, and that is going to be very difficult at Washington. It may be accom plished, but not without many temp ests and much bitterness. Ho is a man of high character and no one can doubt he is sincerely patriotic in all his purposes. Wo hopo ho may be restrained from laying his hands too violently on tho protected Indus tries and labor of his country and that his administration may not in consequence be characterized by the calamitous results which tho policies so plainly threaten. Philadelphia Press. AN APPEAL TO REASON. J. A. Wayland, publisher of the "Appeal to Reason," a Socialist weekly, who committed suicide- a few days ago in his homo at Glrard, Kansas, was a millionaire. It is es timated that he had an incomo of $40,000 a year from rents. His pa per has been credited with making more converts to Socialism than any othor single agency for tho promo tion of tho cause. There should bo food for thought in tho wealth which he accumulated, for those who were attracted to Socialism by ills writ ings.

NIGHT NURSE GAVE THE ALARM Whan Blaze Was Discovered Littlo Pa tients nt Epileptic Farm Near West Choster Were Awakened and Formed Into Lino In Night Robes to Safety. West Chester, Ph., Nov. iil. The children') cottage, one of the largest buildings nt tho Epileptic and Colony farm, near Oakbounie. threo miles from tills pi nee. wiih destroyed by fire. The twenty-two Inmates were saved by the prompt action of four women, who summoned tliuin to the school room w hen the lire was discovered, formed them into line in their night robes and uinivhcd them to safety. Tho patients aro now being cared for in another building nt the colony. The loss on the building, which was n large three story one of brick, with wings. Including a large sun parlor recently erected, is about 525.000, the loss being partly covered by insurance. The institution is located on tho large estate of the late James C. Smith, who left a provision in his will that it bo devoted to the use of a home for epi leptics and endowed- it with a large fund for Its support. The main home has accommodations for about a hun dred patients. The lire was discovered burning briskly in the attic by Miss Mary John sou, the night nurse, who had made nu Investigation after detecting tho odor of smoke in the sleeping apartments of the children. She at once summoned Mrs. Abble Fergus, the superintendent; .Miss Elizabeth Watson, secretary to Dr. J. Clifford Scott, who has charge of the entire colony, and Miss Elizabeth Davis of West Chester, a guest at the institution for the night. Together they awakened the little patients and sent them to the school room in their night robes. When all were assembled they were marched to another building, and the women turn ed their attention to lighting the lire, meanwhile calling the men attendants from the other buildings. Tho building was equipped with hose Hues with a good water pressure and albo patent lire extinguishers, but no headway could bo made against the Uames, which spread rapidly down ward from the attic, and within an hour the entire building had been de stroyed. Firemen from this place were summoned, but while on their way to the scene were notified that their serv ices were uot needed. The attendants can give no possible solution of the origin of the fire. Thero were no lights burning in tho attic and no fire there. Spontaneous combustion Is the only theory advanced by the of ficials at the Institution.
