The action of the recent Crawford County
Democratic Convention. in pushing the
Hon. W. L. Scott into the Congressional
field once more. contrery to the modest and
shrinking impulses of that retiring gentle
man, does not necessarily call for much out
side comment as to its local bearings
The politicians of both parties in Crawford
have such strong affection for candidates
of the corporate and monopolist stripe that
their action is adequately explained BY
their ardent admiration for Mr.. SCOTS bar
rel. So far as the rest of the State is concerned,
the nomination can be received with the re-
hection that if the Crawford county politi-
clans did not support Scott, they would sup
port some other barrel candidate.
But as regards its bearing on politics of
wider scope. the nomination calls for more
attention than it receives as mere mani
festation of the political fealty to corpora
tions. MIR. Scott has been credited with an
undue activity in the movement to make ex-
Governor Pattison the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. Mr.. Pattison's greatest
strength lies in his outspoken and emphatic
opposition to corporate encroachments
Mr.. Scott's position in that matter, in ad-
dition to his claim to represent on railway
directories more thousands of miles of rail-
way than any other living man, has been
defined by himself in letter to Chauncey
NJ. Depew, az follows: Although you are
Republican and am Democrat, we do

CHOICE SNAKE STORIES.

Two blacksnakes were killed at a camp near

house snake about foot long and as thick as

animation he found worm hole about an
eighth of an inch in diameter leading from the
outside of the tree to the cavity where the
snake lay, and that was the only opening to air
from the snakes harbor. The snake must
have gone through the worm hole into the tree
when it was little snake.

drank freely OF the milk, and it was there
when Mrs. Walters came in. With a scream
she seized broom to kill the reptile, which
took fright and started to run. but it had drank
too much milk. 1t had gone in without any
trouble, but it now found it impossible to get
out, and, after pulling the bottle about the floor
for awhile, it was killed. Even then it was i'm
possible to get the snake out of the bottle, and
they were thrown away together.

tion of this evil and its prevention
hereafter, but the view of the police author
tiles that overcrowding in tenement houses,
and the consequent breach of sanitary laws
constitutes nuisance, and as such can be
abated by process of law, seems reasonable.
The health officers, however, are not sure
that this course is legally open to them,
though they admit that if an epidemic were
to break out they would possess all the pow
ers needed in this direction. The evident
duty of the Health Board is to inquire of
their legal advisers what the law upon the
subject is, and if they find they can prevent
fifty people from occupying living room
large enough for five. to do so at once.
Hesitation where the health of the city is
concerned is dangerous.
If at present there are no legal means of
instituting this reform, the sooner we set
about obtaining them the better The idea
of waiting till overcrowding breeds pesti-
lence is not agreeable to think OF. 1t
would be great deal better to make test
case and see how far the health officers can
secure the ends for the sake of which they
hold Office.

DEATHS OF A DAY.
Judge Edward G. Loriug.
ESPECIAL, TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I

BOSTON, June 20.-Judge Edward Greedy Loring
died at Winthrop, Mass, Thursday night. 1t was
he who in 1854, while holding the position Of
Judge of Probate and United States Commissioner
in Boston, remanded to slavery the slave Anthony
Burns, which action resulted in the riots at that
time. Burns was taken into custody under a war
rant from Commissioner Loring, the evening
of May "a. Two nights later great meeting was
held in Faneui Hall protest against this action.
and while George Z. Russell was presiding and
Wendell Phillips was speaking the announcement
came that mob was attempting to rescue Burns.
The meeting dissolved and the persons composing
it hastened to the Court House and made an at
tack upon the doors, killed one constable and
wounded others. But Burns was held and sent
back into slavery. great demand then went up
the Probate Bench, and in spite of the
remonstrance of the official in ques-
ton that removal was effected. In his
remonstrance, Judge Loring submitted that he
had been appointed United States Commissioner
in ls41 while he was practcing law and that in
ls47 he was appointed by Governor Briggs Judge
of Probate for Suffolk county. He had held the
two offices from that date. He argued that he had
done only what others had done, and that his
removal Judge Lorlng received from Buchan-
an the appointment pSiIna OF S Judge OF the the
there there remained quarter of century. resign:
ing in 1877 under the retiring act. He was then IS
years old and was the only Democrat on the
bench. Judge Lorfng was native of Massa-
a graduate of Harvard College, class of 1921, and
his death leaves but one survivor of the 50 mem
bers of his class, that survivor being the Rev,
Ing graduates Of this college Of older class rank
than Judge Loring. His widow survives him,
together with one son and two daughters.

A PUBLIC wR ONG.

A correspondent who furnishes THE DIS
PATCH with description of his recent
drive across the southern counties of the
State, develops some interesting and i'm
portaut conclusions. He states them to be
f rst, the vital necessity for that section of
the State, of not only better roads but better
railway communication; second, the public
duty of the owners of the South Penn rail-
road to complete that line; third, the fact
that the owners OF land being too poor to bear
the cost of improving their roads, people of
capital have splendid opportunity to buy
land cheaply and enhance their property by
improving the means OF comm unication.
The DISPATCH has already given so
much attention to the Importance of public
roads that it need not refer to this branch
of our correspondents letter except to call
attention to its addition to the stock of in
formation on that point. But what is said
concerning the South Penn road has such
importance that it should be emphasized.
The DISPATCH has always asserted that the
strangling OF the South Penn project was a
violation of the public rights and counter
ignoring of the obligations assumed by those
who undertook that enterprise. Their
charter involved a contract with the State
to construct the road and put it in opera
tion. They received definite and e1traor-
dinary privileges in exchange for the public
benefit to be secured by the improved
communication when the railroad was built.
The Trunk line managers and money kings
of New York ombined to strangle that
project and secured the violation of the
rights of the public and the State. Hardly
any more pregnant statement of one of the
most threatening issues of the time need be
given than the picture furnished by this letter,
OF the stagnation of enterprise and the depre-
citation of rich agricultural and mineral
lands throughout that section, because the
railroad kings have issued an edict that no
new line shall be built through Pennsyl
vania.
The condition of things portrayed by this
letter suggests the important reflection that
the people may be able to secure improved
roads and better railway communication
when We are governed for their interests
ra ther than for those of the corporations.

TIE VALUE OF EARNEsTNEss.

Considering the complaints which have
come from so many cities of loose census
enumeration, and bearing in mind the de-
6eiency of the work at the outstart in this
district also, Pittsburg and the surrounding
neighbnrhood may well congratulate itself
that in Mr.. Oliver, the local supervisor, we
have man who is proving equal to the
emergency. Supervisor oliver admits the
difficulties he has met with in the business,
but pledges himself to stick by the task
until everything is as near absolutely cor
rect as under any system it could be. =
1t was precisely this interest and personal
pride in the right discharge of hi" s"duties,
which it knew Mr.. Oliver would take, that
led THE DISPATCH to indorse so emphatic
ally his appointment as Supervisor. He is
proving himself the right man for the place.
One with less interest or determination
might have been content to send in the re-
turns in such defective shape as they were
received, in place OF insisting, as Mr.. Oliver
rightly has done, that they be gone over
again and in every instance made perfect
before transmission to Washington.

connection with corporate property, and 1
may be able to serve these interests should
I pull through again."
Mr.. Scott, as private supporter of Mr..
Psttison, might not be an unsupportable
burden to the latter gentleman; but Mr..
Scott as leading candidate with Governor
Pattison would be an incongruity. In the
interests of that harmony of color and cam
paign notes, which is one of the first
requisites of high political art, the Pattison
forces should devote their efforts to the sup
preston of Scott.

of bringing still stronger pressure to bear

monopoly,

IN connection with the agreement upon
the Senate antitrust bill, the Philadelphia
North american says: There may be way
to prevent the cooperation of capital by restric
tive legislation, but it remains to be found"
To refer to the movement against trusts as
seeking to prevent the cooperation of capital,
is piece of Misrepresentation which can only
be excused on the hypothesis of extreme stu
pidity. The cooperation of capital for legit-
innate purposes and in responsible forms, is not
only sanctioned but encouraged by the corpora
ton laws of every State. But the combination
of capital in an irresponsible form and Tor the
purpose OF Ievying excortion on the public, is a
subject for legislation to prevent.

Chorus of angels:
Christ is arisen,
Joy to the perishing,
Whom the corruptibles,
Lowly, ancestral
Wants had confined.
Chorus Of Women:
With spices most costly
We fondly arrayed him,
Hopefully, trustfully,
Lovingly laid him.
All! vainly we seek Him,
Christ be not here.
Chorus Of angels:
Christ be arisen,
Bliss has invested Him,
Trials that tested Him
All are endured.
Chorus Of Disciples:
joyful arising. He proves the great story,
Corruption despising, He sits down glory,
Born into higher life, bright as creations morn
We in earth's noise and strife
Wait for the welcome dawn.
We in disaster forever oppressed
Envy the Master sweetly at rest.
Chorus Of angels:
Christ Is arisen,
Restored from decay,
Chains which now fetter
Your hearts break away.
Worship your Lord in heart,
Loving in every part
Brothers be true and good.
Sharing your daily food,
Actively pray to Him.
Turn every day to Him,
Promises pay to Him,
Tables array for Him,
Thus We the Lord shall know, living below,

Annie WinRenrofh.

Miss Annie Wingenroth, who has been lying
upon sick bed for nearly ten weeks, passed
quietly away at noon, yesterday, at the residence
of her parents on Ross street, Williamsburg. The
case is a peculiarly sad one. The deceased had
always enjoyed excellent health until stricken
with her fatal illness. Although it recognized
that she was seriously i'll, neither she nor her
friends anticipated that it would end in death
until about week ago, when her physician
warned her anxious parents that she not
likely to recover. From that time she gradually
sank, until when the sun had reached its zenith
yesterday, she ceased to bre ithe, with slight
struggle for life that those around her bed hardly
knew h,nw that her spirit had fled. Two months ago
