-Sundry reports, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger, have come down from
Harrisburg about the "Boom bill'' in
vestigation which have turned out to be
untrue sundry others are coming
down from day to day upon which 1t
will do no harm for the public to "sus-
pend opinion" and therefore we say If
If 1t is true that Colonel Embich, who
was the active outside agent of the
friends of the Boom bill, and Mr.. Peter
Herdic, who was the active outside
agent of the opponents of the bill, have
departed for parts unknown, and can.
lot be found by the search warrants of
the Speaker of the House, they are Civ
ing the general public very strong rea-
sons to believe that both the friends of
the bill and the opponents OF the bill
we're using corrupt measures to inhu-
ence legislation. But perhaps these
two active gentlemen, whose busint SIS
outside of the State of Pennsylvania is
reported to he so pressing just now that
they cannot return home, may have
gene off Gin joke" just as sundry
members of the Legislature instructed
their fellow members in jocrar way
and just for the fun of the thing that
vote on the Boom bill was worth S400,
and dodge" worth 5000. And, by
the way, one of these funny men seems
to have carried $500 worth of joke in
his pocket for two or three weeks be-
fore he let any one else see where the
laugh came in, and even then didn't
seem to think he had carried the joke
any too far

Says the Daily Graphic 1t looks
as If the country were striking bottom.
During the three months just ended
there were 2 800 business failures In
the United States, ,agsins. 1, ,43s in 1875,
and the aggregate liabilities are sea-
644, l56, as compared with s39, 1873, 222
in 1S75-a large and nearly equal in
crease of failures and liabilities. DUR
ing the last quarter Of last year the
failures were 2,405. This is rather a
dishpartening showing, but It indicates
at least that things are as bad as they
can be and the reflection that It is
darkest just before day affords reason

The Drift of II.

Greatly as the present financial
condition of our country, the para
lytlc state of our industries, and gener.
al administrative corruption are TO be
deplOred, we must look to them as the
causes most likely to effect that change
for the better, so earnestly desired BY
all For singly or collectively these
causes, equally affecting all-the la
borer and the capitalist as much hnan-
cially as they must be repugnant to
him who measures things merely by a
moral standard must eveutuate in the
overthrow of the present REGIME. 1t
is in the nature of things, and to
reason otherwise would be absurd. In.
deed the popular verdict has already
gone forth-Grant ard corruption are
doomed But yesterday and his word
might have stood against the world !;
now, "none so poor to do him rever-
ence."
Now, upon precisely what party the
accomplishment of the much needed
reforms may devolve, is as difficult to
lredict as it should be immaterial to
him who has the welfare of the coun-
try at heart. OF this, however, all may
rest assured Grants successor, who
ever it may be, will be better,a purer
man than Grant. as none other would
be countenanced by the PEOPLE, who
want man of moral excellence. one
in whom they can implicitly confde,
to occupy the Executive chair. OF poll
ticians and generals they have had
their fill. They now want A MAN,
and which party shall put forth the
best candidate and offer such other
guarantees for an honest administration
of our national affairs as the people
may deem sufficient, will be sure of
their support-be he Republican or
Democrat. Such, at least, appears to
be the sentiment, and, go fav as we can
discern, a sentiment worthy of the ap-
proval aud encouragement of all the
good.

REPRESENTATIVE MCCRARY, of
Iowa, has been authorized by the Ju-
dietary Committee to report his bill to
reOrganiZe the judiciary of the United
States. He has prepared report to
accompany the bill, which shows the
present condition of the Judiciary and
of the defects which it is proposed to
remove. The purpose of the bill is to
facilitate as far as possible, without ad-
ditional Judges. the administration of
justice in the Federal Courts. 1t is
impossible for the Supreme Court to
transact its busipess with proper dis
patch and deliberation. The increase
of business is shown by its calendar.
In 1910 there were SO eases; in 1920,
137 cases; in 1916 there were 165, and
in 1873, sol. TO finish the cases on
the calendar without doing new bust
ness, daily sessions for three years
would be necessary. The law of the
last Congress limiting the right of ap-
peal has not relieved the Court, and
has given just cause of complaint by
denying appeal in cases of less than
$1,000. This bill brings the Circuit
Cou't in many of the States nearer to
the litigants, and relieves the dockets
of those courts of a portion of their
accumulation of business.-Ndsh-

Joseph and Mrs. Potiphar.

This famous legend is still found
among the Egyptians Of to-day, but in
somewhat different form than that of
the Biblical narrative. M. De Les
seps, the distinguished engineer and
saUdnt, who has resided much in the
Eas. gives this as to the Egyptian
tradition. Potiphar was not very
tender hearted man. He imprisoned
his wife, as also Joseph, althoughthe la
dy aud Josph asserted their innocence.
The Judge erderedan inquiry, and the
wife of Potiphar, in her defence, urged
that her passion for Joseph had been
awakened by his personal beauty, which
she declared no woman could posi-
bly, resist. Others, she said, would
have done as she had, an assertion
which she was invited to prove. On
being set at liberty she invited a num-
Der of her female friends to meet her
at her house, without informing them
of the purpose for which they were
assembled. 10 each guest an orange
and golden knife were given, and
they were requested not to cut the
oranges until the lady Of the house
had given them the signal so to do. by
/ prOnOunclng the word Now. The
ladies' with their orange in one hand
aad their knife in the other, were ga
zing with surprise at their hostess
when suddenly the door opened and
Joseph made his appearance, stand
ing on the threshold. Now" cried
the wife of Potiphar, but her guests,
captvated by the beauty of the He
brew, paid no attention to what they
were doing, and consequently cut
their fingers. The party were called
before the judge on the following
morning; every one of the ladies, save
one, hid her wounded hand in the
folds of her garment, while the one
whose hand was unhurt declared thai
she had escaped the common fate by
throwing her knife away the moment
she saw Joseph; and on being further
pressed with questions, declared that
had she not thrown her knife away
she would have stabbed herself to the
heart, because she could not bear t.
look upon the Hebrew and know thai
she could never possess him as hus
band.

THE DARKENED SIDE.


If"there is many rose in the path of life,
To sweeten the speeding hours,
There Is many thorn to quicken the strife,
Amidst the hearts frail flowers;
And the "sunny soul" which is full of love,
May believe its virtues prevail
Over the banners Of sin and vice. but they
Move strong when love itself shall fail.
"ItSs better tc hope when the clouds hang
low"
But Hope its self will soon be lifted
From its bright sunbeams by the shadows
of love,
Whose drear clouds are never, never
rifted;
The darkest, gioomiest time is ever the hour
That heralds the dawn of day;
But mans evil nature raalzes direful
power
That keeps the dawn far. far away.
"There is many gem in the path of life, -
But we miss them in the chase of flying
Joys, and forget their beauty when the
heart is rife
With the worlds pleasures but when
dying
Hopes cluster and cares come to sadly
sever
The joys that earth to us has given,
Which like empty dreams have passed
away forever,
Then anhumbly we remember heaven.
1t is "better to weave" midst the crown Of
earth
bright and golden beaming
Crown OF gIory-but with sped joys, death
Others have birth,
And they are so wildly cleaning
With false hopes, which so brightly round
tee mind doth cluster,
That earth to mortals seems given
A place OF peace, and only midst tn,
dimned luster
ofsped joys come the thoughts ofheaven
But after earth's pleasures have been tried
in vain,
Amidst her fieeting flowers;
After we havesought the sweets aad tastet
the pain
Ofsins dark misspent hours,
Then with sad hearts the sad past deploring
Wei humbly turn to God,
And gladly with full so uls his grace adoring
Pass under his Christening rod.
