There will be no American alliance with England. Sentiment and interest are equally against such a partnership. Though Mr. Chamberlain and other of our British friends indulge freely in the language of the heart, it is perfectly understood that England desires us to go Into the firm because she needs us in her business. A "friendly understand ing" is all right. We cannot have too many friends. Doubtless when British and American interests are common, as in China, there will be community of action, but otherwise the traditional policy of avoiding entangling foreign alliances will be followed. No party In the United States, even if so inclined, could afford to become a tender to the British engine. The one power with which we are most likely to have trouble is England. She is our neighbor on this continent. Every mounted gun on the Canadian border and on the American islands which England possesses is aimed at us. The good sense and good feeling of the two peoples will always dictate that differ ences be settled by negotiation, but behind differences there is ever the possibility of war. We are fated to push the British out of North America. They may go peaceably, but then they may not. It is well to keep our hands free. Ameri can statesmen are not so shortsighted as to be deceived by the present amicable state of things. England has become our friend only when we have grown to be strong enough not to need her friendship greatly and when she needs ours very much. Sentiment has much to do with inter national relations, the "practical" man to the contrary. When England was lighting us French soldiers, French ships and French money helped us to freedom. And when the union was in peril not England but Russia was our friend. These memories do not die, and while we were pleased at England's attitude during our brush with Spain, and are ready to give good will for good will, there is not in this young republic the smallest disposition to link our future with the world-embracing de signs of the old monarchy whose policy it is to have a finger in every pie that's baking. We are willing to shake hands, and to stand together for what we both may I happen at any juncture to want in the ; way of trade privileges, but England is England and America America. It will take a long time to bring love between the two. Attend to Kusine** or Resign. The members of Freeland borough council have important work before them, and in justice to the taxpayers they should exert themselves in the borough's interests more in the future than they have in the past. Too many sessions have lately been called and not held, because a quorum refused to ap pear. It seems that certain members absent themselves from the meetings unless they are assured before hand that their pet projects and schemes will be ap proved by a majority of the body. They remain away, intentionally, and thereby block all public business. How long this babyishness intends to continue cannot be stated here, but it is time now to call a halt. Two months have elapsed since the ground donated for the borough build ing was deeded to council. One of the conditions calls for work to begin on the building within six months from the date of the deed, otherwise the borough forfeits its title to the ground. So far practically nothing has beon accomplished in the way of carrying out the agreements made with the Iv. of L. trustees. Unavoidable delays in beginning work might be tolerated, but the delays so far have not been unavoidable, and council must riot object if a strict en forcement of the conditions of the transfer should be demanded when the above limit expires. Is the borough to lose this magnifi cent site and the town lose the advan tages of the terms of that agreement, for a few men's selfishness? CURRENT COMMENT. Notes and Comments, Political and Otherwise, ou Matters or Interest.. (By Andrew J. Palm.) The public should not call Secretary Gage a wobbler because he changed his mind about buying bonds. When he said he would not buy them he had not received his orders from Wall street — orders which the McKinley adminis tration did not dare disobey. Dewey says that he didn't know the gift of a house had a string tied to it. He ought to know that every gift, be stowed in a proper spirit and so re ceived, is a token that binds the giver and receiver with bonds of admiration, friendship and love. Asking to have a gift returned by the donor is but little less a breach of that courtesy and good will that prompts the proper giving and receiving of presents than the sell ing or giving of one to a third party by the one on whom it has been be stowed. The accession of ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor Louis A. Watres to the ranks of the independent Republicans is caus ing considerable uneasiness in the Quay camp. The most surprising thing, however, is not that he has left the Quay gang, but that he did not desert long ago, as every intelligent, honest Republican should have done. When the break comes there will be a stam pede among the fellows who stick to the machine only because of its power, to get in out of the wet. The only thing that can keep the independents from gaining rapidly and sweeping the present dynasty from power is for Bill Andrews or Governor Stone to pro fess repentance for their political sins and join the insurgents. Either or both would prove a hoodoo that could not be overcome. The republic of Mexico, although friendly to silver to the extent of mak ing it the basis of its currency and financial system, is prospering as all other nations are at this time, in busi ness and industry. Labor is very scarce in that •ountry, owing to the wave of prosperity which has swept over the land, and there is talk of im porting negro laborers from Jamaica. The Mexican Herald says that "within the next few months there will be great activity in the way of railroad building and the construction of port works. Fully 20,000 laborers will be required, and as most of this work will be done in districts affected with yel low fever the problem becomes more difficult. It is almost impossible to procure men from the north to go down into the hot country." the recent election, which clearly de fines the issues between the two parties: "My friends, 1 have a higher ambition than to hold office. I do not care whether I ever hold another of fice, but I serve notice to my Republi can friends that I propose to stay in politics until the lid closes down on my coffin. The Republican party to day stands for the right of aggregated wealth to dictate to the remainder of the nation, and the reform forces will not halt until they have secured an in come tax, election of senators by the people, the restoration of bimetallism; until they have driven the banks out of the business of governing and given to the government the sole right to is sue money; until we have turned back the tide of militarism and driven the trusts out of existence; until we have stamped out those ideas of government imported from Europe and set the na tion again firmly on the foundation of the fathers." We have no sympathy with polyga my nor apology for the flimsy pre tenses on which the Utah brand is al leged to be based, but it would look much like Satan's rebuking sin for congress to throw out a man because he is a polygamist, but who is morally as far in advance of many of the mem bers as daylight is ahead of moonshine. Polygamy under other names smells Just as bad, and is even worse when practiced by those who decry against it than when adopted by those who believe it is right and in accord with Holy Writ. If Roberts should stand up In congress and demand that he who is without sin shall cast the first stone, who would be the good brother to "frow de first brick?" If it were in the senate Penrose or Quay might head the procession double file, or if in the Pennsylvania legislature Dory Stulb might volunteer; but who would it be in the lower house of congress? If all the members of congress except those who have been pure in their relations with women were to be ousted the body would look as if it had been struck by smallpox, yellow fever and the bubonic plague in rapid succession. Camp Meade has become a thing of the past, and great is the joy in the community, as well as among the cit izens of Harrisburg, Highspire. Steel ton and Middletown. They have had enough experience with soldiers to last them the remainder of their lives. The police of Harrisburg had their hands full looking after the boys who came to the city, got drunk, fought, stole somebody's money or lost their own, and all sorts of "cussedness." Some times a detail from the camp, bearing side arms, would be sent to the city to look after the offenders, but as one member of the police force remarked to the writer. "They were a d—d sight, worse than the others, for many times they would get drunk, and, being arm ed. were absolutely dangerous." Noth ing else could have reasonably been ex pected. The boys had volunteered un der the encouragement and pay of a so-called Christian government to go out and shoot down human beings whom they had never seen, and to lay waste their property. A man's busi ness has much to do with his conduct, and surely the business of a soldier cannot be conducive to morality as laid down in the New Testament. Time hung heavily on their hands. They be came tired of the worse than useless, senseless, humdrum life. They be came tired of one another, and In some cases grew so much disgusted with themselves and the world that they committed suicide. It was but nat ural that they should get into all sorts of wickedness. Put a thousand preach ers together, armed and drilled to kill their fellow men, herd them in uncom fortable quarters, more like animals than human beings, and, as Thad Stevens would express it, "they would raise l.ell in less than 30 days." AMERICAN CITIES. SOME FACTS ABOUT THEM THAT A*E INTERESTING. The Oldest Is Albany—lSut Three HA?* PopulruloiiM Ktinuing Into Millions. Mo Reexport, I'a., Is the Healthiest. Saloon Statistics. Acting on instructions from congress the department of labor at Washington issued in its September bulletin statis tics relating to all the cities in the United States of a population of 30,000 or more. It was found that there were 140 such cities, and the statistics col lected throw much interesting light on their status and development. The oldest city in the United States is Albany, N. Y., which was incorpor ated in 1686, Philadelphia dating 15 years later. New York, Chicago and Philadelphia are the only American cities whose population runs into the millions. Some odd contrasts are pre sented in the tables which give the area covered by the different cities. It appears that Taunton, Mass., occupies a territory greater than that of either Boston or Baltimore. New Orleans, a city of 285,000 inhabitants,covers 125,600 acres, while Newark, N. J., with a population of about the same size, oc i cupies less than 12,000 acres. One ex pects to find the manufacturing dis tricts of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois closely packed, but it is surprising to notice that Richmond, Va., covers only 6,520 acres, and Louis ville, Ky., 12,800 acres, as compared with Duluth, Minn., and Des Moines, la., which, with much smaller popula tions in each case, cover respectively 40,960 and 34,560 acres. The second table in the bulletin deals with saloons, police force, and the number of arrests from drunkenness. Judging from the arrests made, it seems that Davenport, la., is the most sober city in the United States, while San Francisco and Boston suffer most from drunkards. Several papers tried to find in this table some light that would help to elucidate temperance problems, but found the figures so con fusing as to be of very little practical use. The New York Evening Post, for example, commenting on this part of the report, says: "It casts darkness rather than light upon the question. For example, Springfield, Mass., Manchester, N. H., and Utica, N. Y., have each about 60,- 000 inhabitants. Utica is under the Raines law, Springfield under the high j license system of Massachusetts and Mancliaster under nominal prohibition. The New Hampshire city has no legal saloons, while Springfield has 47 and Utica 252. But Manchester has had 1,456 arrests for drunkenness during the past year, while Springfield had 1,431. Still more remarkable is the record of only 765 arrests in Utica, or only about half as many as in Spring field, although there are more than five times as many saloons. Almost as anomalous is the showing of only 383 j arrests in Dayton, 0., with 400 saloons i and 85,000 people, while Hartford, Conn., with 77,000 people and but 219 saloons, reported 2,460. There is no possible way of reconciling such ex traordinary differences, except upon the theory that the police in some cities enforce the laws much more strictly than those of others, and 'run in drunks' when men in the same con dition elsewhere would be passed by." The health statistics show that Mc keesport. Pa., is perhaps the healthiest city in the country. Its rate of deaths from consumption is only 1,09 per 1,000, as compared with 12 in Boston and New York, and 26 in Denver, Colo.— due, of course, to the fact that con sumptives resort to Denver from all parts of the country. The rate of 13.60 deaths per 1,000 from old age (con siderably the highest on the list), is accredited to Salt Lake City, a condi tion to account for which no theory has yet been brought forward. In Pittsburg and Chicago deaths from old age are only 2 per 1,000. At a time when the extension of municipal functions is occupying pub lic attention, it is interesting to note the figures which relate to city owner* ship. Ninety-six cities own their own water supply, among the exceptions be ing Indianapolis, New Haven, New Or leans and San Francisco. Four have municipal gas works—Duluth, Rich mond, Toledo and Wheeling—and 13 own and operate electric light plants. The Elect lon Frauds. From Senator Magee's Pittsburg Times. The frauds alleged to have been per petrated in certain election precincts of Philadelphia are of a character so startling and serious that stern duty to the people and to the Republican party demands their thorough investi gation and the meting out of swift and severe punishment to the guilty ones should such an investigation establish the truth of the charges. The devel opments at the preliminary hearing, which have been set forth in The Times, were of the most sensational character, and the exposure of the methods pursued by these repeaters was so complete and convincing as to leave little, if any, room for doubt. Nothing can be Justly advanced in ex tenuation of such crimes against the ballox box. They are a blow struck directly at the liberties of the whole people, and in this case they are also a crime against the Republican party. That party has always stood for "a free ballot and a fair count," and it cannot defend such deliberate and wholesale violations of right as these charges cover. The investigation of these alleged crimes should be prosecuted by every agency of the law, and if they are proved to be true their perpetrators and all those responsible, directly or indirectly, for them should receive, without any mitigation, the punish ment an outraged law provides. The sanctity of the ballot box is of the supremest importance to every citizen and no matter how close their alliance with the continuous support of those in control of the party organization in the state the sternest punishment is none too severe for those who would thus bring discredit upon Pennsylvania and 1 upon the Democratic party. AN EDITOR'S LITERARY CHASE. How the Author of "In His Steps" Was Finally Run Drwn. ' Three months ago the editor of The Ladies' Home Journal concluded that his readers would doubtless be glad to read a fresh article by the author of | "In His Steps," and he wrote to the j Rev. Charles M. Sheldon soliciting a contribution. But editors innumera ble had sought the now famous To peka minister, and to Mr. Bok's re quest he sent the same reply as to the other editors. But the Philadelphia editor wrote again, a stronger and more urgent letter. Again the clergy man declined. He had written nothing ) since "In His Steps," and did not wish to write anything. Meanwhile Mr. Bok had gone to Europo. and Mr. Sheldon's second refusal was cabled to him. Back came tne response to ' Philadelphia: "Spare no eflort nor time to secure Mr. Sheldon, but get j him." The editor's private secretary then tried his hand on the Kansas minister, but again he refused. Mr. Bok returned from abroad, and calling one of his editors directed him to see Mr. Sheldon, at Topeka if he was I there, or wherever he might be. Upon reaching St. I.ouis the editor located Mr. Sheldon at Buffalo, and later learned that he had gone to Detroit. Starting at once for that place the edi tor learned at Chicago the minister had just left Detroit to rejoin his fam ily at a summer resort in Upper Michi gan. By more telegraphing, Mr. Shel don's family was finally located at Old Mission, a most inactaslble summer resort on Travers Bay, and by the first northbound steamer the editor hur ried on his journey. A voyage of a day and a night brought him to the place where he had hoped to intercept the minister, but failing to do so he em barked in a small boat for a day's sail toward Ills destination. At the nearest landing he pressed a farmer's team into service and drove through an almost blinding sandstorm along the bay shore—seemingly half-way across the peninsular- reaching Old Mission a few minutes before the ar rival of the minister. This was too much for Mr. Sheldon. The fight was won, and in the November Issue of The Ladles' Home Journal the article appears. It occupies barely a page, and the venture cost the magazine several hundreds of dollars for traveling ex penses alone. But the article contains Mr. Sheldon's first words since his 'ln His Steps" has bocome famous, it answers the question which every i one asks after reading the book: "Is this theory practical?" and answers it forcibly. And the magazine is con tent. Story of Stevenson. I Stevenson was still a rather little boy, says Chambers's Journal, when in the Summer holidays, having been reading a number of "detective" nov els of a bad kind, he WZB passing one , Sunday afternoon along a road which led through one of the suburbs of Edinburgh, and saw a deserted house, left furnished, but without apparently a caretaker. It suddenly struck Stev enson that it would be a very gallant thing to break into this house. No one was in sight, and stealing around he found it possible to easily open a window at the back and so climbed In. It really was unoccupied, and he prowled from room to room, looking at the books and pictures until he heard, as he thought, a noise in the garden. This sent him immediately, in an instant collapse of courage, un der a bed. aud then terror seized him. He imagined himself pounced upon charged with robbery, marched home with gyves upon his wrists, and arriv ing just as the family were assembling Ito attend evening services. He burst out crying and could not stop, and his sobs echoed in the empty house. | He crept out where he had crept in, having done no harm to anything ex j cept his little tender Scottish con j science. But the spirit of adventure was native to him, as exemplified in the story, and also a sort of solitude, as of a boy obliged to play by himself | ior want of other pirates and burglars to combine with. Backing Up. Not all of the driver's skill is de voted to driving ahead; it takes a good driver to be able to back up in good shape. Not every driver, by any means, can halt and then back up to a curbstone and hit it square and true with both wheels the first clip. That is something that requires more skill than might be imagined by one who had never tried it. But in backing up on the level, if a man falls to hit the curb exactly the first time, he can manoeuvre until he does. There are places where skill j must be exercised and where a level ! head is called for, too. For instance, in backing up, or rather, backing down, into an excavation, on the in clined causeway left for that purpose. The excavation is begun at the rear ; of the lot, and the earth forming the | causeway, running up to the level of the street at the front, is left until the j last. In the later stages of the ex cavating the causeway is left Just wide enough at the top for the carts or wagons to move on, and its sides slope down precipitously. The driver who backs down on one of these nar row cellar causeways, simply must hit j it right. Anthony's Retirement. i Susan B. Anthony, now approaching her eightieth birthday, is preparing to retire from the presidency of the Na tional Suffrage Association, and with characteristic zeal has set herself the task of raising half a million dollars for the use of her successors in the movement. She says: "I shall continue to work as hard as ever, but shall devote my energies to the raising of a permanent fund of $500,000, with which to carry on the work. The interest of that sum would lubricate suffrage machinery nicely, and it is my one desire to see the needed half million raised before I die. I don't want the younger generation hampered by the lack of money, as I and my colleagues have been." Window Guard*. Windows without guatds. especially in nurseries or chambers or playrooms occupied by small children, are sources of terrible accidents. In fact, invitations to fractured skulls aad sud den death. All windows to which children have access should be pro tected by proper fastenings inside and proper iron guards on the outside. mggf What is Celary King?
