'sIt's OF No Consequence. n--~

Some Of the newspapers are giving
prominence to the announcement that
the Union League of America" has
taken new departure in politics, mas
much as it declares that it will be no
longer distinctively a Republican organi-
zation, but that it will open its arms to en-
fold within its embrace all protectionists.
And in some quarters the proclamation
and purpose are seriouly commented upon
as if they were of some consequence. They
are not of the least importance.
The Union League of America is not, as
some people may suppose, a central organi,
zation of the different associations in the
cities which call themselves Union
Leagues but is an independent, voluntary
and merely nominal combination OF
cranks OF old political hacks like Gen
James s. Negley, without constituency OIL
claims to consideration. What it does OF
fails to do is matter of no consequence
whatever.

The Reason of 1t.

The exposition at New Orleans certainly
drags. 1t has not been a financial success,
thus far, in spite Of the liberal aid advanced
it by the government, not penny of which
win ever lie returned.
It's management lacked business expe-
rience, to begin with and, having very
large amount of money in hand, at the
outset, projected 1t on an unnecessarily
large and expensive scale. This was the
drst great mistake.
Then, again, the show has not a populous
country from which to draw paying visitors
and its management did not seem to calcu-
late sufficiently upon this circumstance, in
the estimate Of receipts to meet the cur
rent expenses after the capital was ex.
hausted. Within radius of thousand
miles Of New Orleans the population is not
only sparse, but 1t is poor and very largely
made up of ignorant blacks, who are of
neither moral nor financial aid to the enter
prise. With the Philadelphia Centennial it
was quite otherwise the teeming millions
within half days journey of our metrop-
oils could keep the show running with the
patronage Of those who could go to it in
the morning and return home the same
night.
Back Of the Centennial and great aid
to It was, first, the sentiment of Revolu-
tionary celebration, which appealed to the
patriotism of the whole country and which
was reinforced in so many sections by ear
lier local centennials. Without this fea,
ture the Philadelphia exposition would
have fallen far short Of the great success it
attained. Besides 1t was feast of recon.
citation, the occasion of the first great
meeting since the war of sections estranged
by that unhappy event and as an express
sion of union sentiment it was hailed
and patronized by the South, perhaps, as
literally as even the New Orleans exposi.
tion itself has been.-
An observant correspondent, however,
notes another lack at New Orleans, which
goes far to explain the embarrassment of
the enterprise that Is that the charm Of
novelty, 50 omnipresent at our Centennial,
does not strongly characterize the Southern
show. Until the first great Centennial
the majority Of people were ignorant Of
many such things as the manufacture of
cotton fabrics, the accomplishments Of ar
tisans who worked on wood and glass and
the extraordinary perfection of machinery
and mechanics There has been of course,
great improvements since 1879, but not
enough to stock an exposition Of world
wide interest The things that attracted
most attention at Philadelphia became
most popular. Artistic designs that
we're then new have now come to adorn
millions of households, and the marvels of
machinery that entranced gaping thronl 9
have been carried into every workshop. 1t
will take new cycle of development and
. generation of forgetfulness before the
country is prepared for another worlds

Some Whist PLAYERS.

Aristocratic circles in New York are ex-
cited over disturbance in the Union
club between two Of the members of
that collection Of rich drones. A game
Of whist was being played and one of the
players thought his opponent did not make
q proper lead, and so he excitedly de-
nounced him as " a sneaking scoundrel."
The other party not relshing this epithet
slapped the face of gentleman num-
ber one, aged fifty and then the by
ISLANDERS interfered. 1t is said the parties,
who are both on the shady side of fifty, are
going to fight duel about 1t and as
they are both bachelors no one will
care IL they do, nor if they get killed.
{ Their lives Of usefulness are over when
they have nothing better to do in an
afternoon than to spend it in their club at
the card table; especially when they can
not do 1t in an amicable way. The man who
cannot play cards without losing his temper
should abstain entirely from them; and it
is very remarkable how many such men
there.are and how particularly they are un-
covered in whist. 1t is very common
thing to find display of irritability in
this game. 1t seems that persons who
devote themselves to it, and who attain
what they consider to be high degree of
skill In it, acquire corresponding degree
Of impatience with those whom they con-
Sceive to have less skill and who play
ether style of game. Nothing could be
absurd than for this Union club man
u 6euounce his opponents play as that of a
sneaking sc5undrei /; since man may un.
doubtedly play his cards as he pleases. This
irritable gentleman simply undertook to
say that his friends play was that of q
sneaking scoundrel, because it did pst suit
his ideas of what it shorid have been

canons for sSsiie. Unquestionably
his rS was that of fool
: though he was not fool when not play
ing whist. We cannot explain why 81
many sensible men show themselves to b,
silly in this game, though they play it well
except on the supposition that it takes al
the head they have to keep up their play
and they have no forces in reserve to keel
their general demeanor up to the ordinar,
standard of decency. But, whatever tn
cause, the fact is not to be disputed tina
many whist players cease to be gentlemen
and are as irritable as old women, and de
serve to be subjected to the penaltie
against common scolds, or the spanking
earned by bawling children.

.OLD GRIMES Is DEAD"

The author Of the song about good ole
man named Grimes, whom we shall nevel
see any more, was Albert G.. Greepe, VIII,
was born in Providence, Rhode Island, Of
the 10th of February, 1902, the same yea
Harriet Martineau, Lydia Maria Child
Fredrika Bremen and George p. Morris ap
peared on this sphere. He was educated a
Brown University, in Providence, and died
at Cleveland, on the Sd of January, 1868.
The song which perpetuates his name ha
often been parodied, and has been published
in numerous versions, but this is the orig
inal:
Old Grimes Is dead, that good old man
Veneer shall see him more
He used to wear a long black coat
Al buttoned down before.
His heart was open as the day,
His feelings all wefetrue;
His hair was some inclined To gray,
lie wore II In queue.
whenee er he heard the voice of pain
His breast with pity burned;
The large, round head upon his cane
From ivory was turned.
Kind words he ever had for all,
He knew no base design;
His eyes were dark and rather small,
His nose was aquiline.
He lived at peace with all mankind,
In friendship he was true;
His coat had pocket-holcs behind,
His pantaloons were blue.
Unharmed, the sin which earth pollutes,
lie passed securely DER,
And never wore a pair of boots
For thirty years or more.
But good old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortune's frown;
He wore a double-breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to find,
And pay II its desert;
lie had no malice in his mind,
No ruffies on his shirt.
His neighbors he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay;
He wore large buckles ON his shoes,
And changed them every day.
His knowledge, hid from public gaze,
He did not bring to view,
Nor make @ noise town.meeting days,
As many people do.
His worldly goods he never threw
In trust to fortunes chances
He lived Gas all his brothers do),
In easy circumstances.
Thus undisturbed by an nxious care
His peaceful moments ran,
And everybody said he was
fine old gentleman.

The nti-discrimination bill which Scna-
tor Wallace has fathered In the legislature,
we hope will receive his guardian care to |
its successful passage. We are sorry |
that the senator has been obliged by |
while, but we trust he will be back
in time to take full hand i'm
pressing to passage the very first
bill limiting railroad charges. No more
important measure has ever been intro
duced into the legislature. Wehave waited
ever since the adoption of the new const-
tuition to see its provisions carried into
effect. Until now no attempt has been made
to this end. We are living under a
constitution which is wholly disregarded
in its most important commands. The
railroad companies are the real legislature
Of the state in all that relates to its inter-
nal economy. They determine what peo-
pie and what places shall prosper, and what
shall be taxed to death, and the result is
that Pennsylvanians and Pennsylvania
towns are those that are taxed, and outside
people and places are given advantages in
the use Of Pennsylvania raw materials by
Pennsylvania railroads, which enable them
| to silence Pennsylvania industries.
Does the legislature realize that Pennsyl-
vania oil and coal when carried to points
outside of the state are charged a less freight
by Pennsylvania corporations than when
carried to points inside the state
| 1t is hard to realize that this is the fact,
and that the legislature knows it and fails
to stop it.
Pennsylvania ore is refined and stored out
side the state, and of course because 1t is
done rs cheaply or cheaper than it can be
done in the state.
Pennsylvania anthracite Is carried be-
yond the state for less charges than to its
citizens. And so it is with Pennsylvania
bituminous coal The Pennsylvania railroad,
whose directors but few weeks ago virtu-
ously declared that they would enter into
no combination to lay an embargo on the
natural course of trade, deliberately and
squarely lied since it is an undeniable fact
that they have entered into combination
with the Baltimore & Ohio road to keep
up forced price on bituminous coal and
they boast that the bargain is so hedged
about with penalties that it is solid for a
year at least.
Under it they forbid ton of coal of 2 24C
pounds to be sold in Philadelphia for less
than $3.50.
But they carry ton of coal to the port
of Philadelphia for export for sl.4O, which
would make the cost of 2,240 pounds Of
bituminous coal in the port of Philadel
! phia for export, to be s2.O7, discrimina
ton against Philadelphia of SO cents.

railroad directors and officers should usurl

BARBARA ALIENS CRUELTY.
In Scarlet towne, where was borne,
There was a faire maid dwellin,
Made every youth crye, wellawaye!
Her name was Barbara Allen.
All in the merrye month of May,
When greene buds they were swellin,
Young Jemmye Grove on his dcathbe lay,
For love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his man unto her then,
To the towne where she was dwellin;
You must come to my master deare,
Giff your name be Barbara Allen.
For death is printed on his face
And ore his harte Is stealin',
Then haste away, to comfort him
lovelye Barbara Allen.
Though death Is printed on his face,
And ore his harte IL stealin';
Yet little better shall he bee
For bonny Barbara Allen.

And slowly she came nye him;
And all she sayd, when there she came
Young man, l think y are dying.

with deadlye sorrow sighing
oh, lovelye maid come pity NEE,
Tine on my death-bed lying.
II on your death-bed you do lyc,
What needs the tale you are telln'
] cannot keep you from your death
Farewell sayd Barbara Allen.
He turned his face unto the wall,
As deadlye pangs he fell in;
Adieu adleu adieu to you all,
Adieu to Barbara Allen.
As she was walking ore the fields,
She heard the bells "A knellin;
And every stroke did seem to saye:
Unworthy Barbara Allen
She turned her bodye round about,
| And spyd the corpse a-coming;
Laye down, laye down the corpse, she say'd,
That may look upon him.
with scornful eye she looked downe,
| Her cheeks with laughter swelln'
| Whilst all her friends cried out amaine,
| Unworthy Barbara Allen.
When he was dead and laid In grave,
| Her harte was struck with sorrowe;
o, mother mother, make my bed
| For shall dye to-morrowe.
| Hard -hartcd creature, him 60 slight,
Who loved me so dearlye:

When he was alive, and neare me

| Beg d to be buried by him,
| And sore repented of the daye
That she did ere denY him.
Farewell, she sayd, ye virgins all
| And shun the fault fell in
| Henceforth take warning by the fall
