Pennsylvania Party Managers.

Pennsylvania Party Managers.
New York Recorder, Rep.J
1t would be mistake for Republicans in
New York to ignore the fact that political
affairs are dusty in Pennsylvania. III Mr.
Harrison has any influence in that state, or
II Postmaster General Wanamaker repre-
sents anything more than his commercial
ambition, he will give the situation imme-
diate attention. Pennsylvania is a banner
Republican Commonwealth, none in the
Union so sure for Republican victory. 1t
was thrown away last year by party mis-
management, and the signs are dusty for
the autumn canvass. Henry Watterson sees
1t with his keen eyes, and cheers his Demo
cratic friends with the hope that their VIC
tory will dictate to the Democratic conven-
tion the nomination of Governor Pattison as
Presidential candidate.
IF Mr.. Harrison and his friends in Penn
sylvania would like BIT of outside public
opinion In regard to its affairs he may have
1t in plain words Republicans are becom-
ing ashamed of Pennsylvania. What power
has she in the Senate? She has just chosen
for third term Senator who never made
a speech except r motion to adjourn, and
whose most important votes last session
were against his party on the force bill and
silver question: a Senator whom his own
party convention Qld not venture to 1nQOrSo.
His colleague is a Senator whose single
speech of the session WAS in answer to
charges of the gravest character affecting
his own personal integrity. This is Penn
sylvania in the Senate. What is she in the
HouseH There may be brilliant representa-
tfves, but they shine with an anthracite
bituminous flicker not visible outside of
New York.
And now come later crowning develop
ments, showing that the Auditor General of
the State-the official whose duty it Is to
keep watch and ward over the State funds
Treasurer the one who made away with
a million and is now to sit in penitentiary
durance for IS years as the penalty.
The evidence is as clear as the sunshine at
high noon on q cloudless day. But the
courts can "do nothing" the prosecuting
officials can "find no evidence" and the
Auditor General will probably nominate
himself for the Senate, as Mr. Quay did, and
ask for "vindication." 1t would be quite
in the Pennsylvania way-to elect him. In
the meantime Pennsylvanians are angry
and mutter discomfort. They are proud.
intrepid, essentially straightforward people
Republican in starm and disaster. They
believe in Harrison and Blaine. They be-
lieve in the Republicanism of Wilmot and
Kelly and Thaddeus Stevens. Evil inflr-
ences may have a temporary advantage, but
it is not in the Pennsylvania nature to en-
dure and endure, and ever to endure, when
the outcome alone is modification and de-
feat The Republicans have been taken by
false prophets into a wilderness of shame
and dfsmay. Who will be the Moses to lead
them into the Promised Land?

MORGAN As A REFoRn1ER.

The latest from the Wall street mael-
strom is to the effect that Mr.. Pierport
Morgan has read the riot act to Jay
Gould, and that the wizard has thereupon
reformed his ways and resolved to live
cleanly. This is interesting. not to say
flattering, to Mr. Morgan's powers of in
ducing the leopard to change his spots;
but it is to be received, in the polite French
phrase, with reservation.
There is, as is well known, a decided
difference between the Gould and Morgan
plan of operations. Mr.. Morgan is fully
committed to the theory of the Scotch
proverb that "hawks should not pick out
hawks Gen." and has forcibly, by such
measures as the South Penn deal and the
subsequent 'bankers' agreement" main-
tanned the principle that all the Wall
street magnates should work together for
the common squeezing of the public. Mr..
GOuld'S tastes are more catholic and his
appetite more universal He is ready to
pluck the public by the regulation corpo-
rate methods which Mr.. Morgan uphoIds,
and to make quicker turn by fleeing his
fellow operators of Wall street which Mr.
Morgan reprehends.
1t is quite possible therefore that Mr.
Morgan should, with the backing of the
Vanderbilt millions, try to reform Mr.
Gould; but we may be permitted to doubt
the ability even of that power to change
the cuticle of the Ethiop. If we mistake
not the Vanderbilt millions undertook the
task of disciDlining this eminent financier
early in his career. 1t would not be
variation on previous experience if, in the
financial transactions which are to per-
suade Mr.. Gould to behave himself, it
should be ultimately discovered that Mr..
Gould has the money and Mr.. Morgan and
the Vanderbilts the experience.
1t is still wise to observe the rule that
there is one way to beat Mr.. Gould in his
manipulation Of the Gould stocks, and
that is for the public to carefully put all
its money into something else.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Not SO very long ago engine No. II, Baltf-
more and Ohio Railroad, left the track, went
down to Second avenue and killed the engi-
neer. The Cofoner's jury reached the con-
clusion that the switch target was not kept
painted properly, else the engineer would
have seen that the switch that threw the
train was misplaced and the accident would
have been avoided.
Last night No. II went down to Second
avenue again. This time the switch was
half turned, no doubt through the careless
ness OF some one. If the passengers on the
railroads running through McKeesport
knew of the many narrow escapes they have
run they would feel uneasy.
Too much carelessness exists. If the rail-
road officials, instead of inspecting the road
in train hauled by an engine equipped
with steamboat whistle would take walk
along the track they would see, as 1 see
almost daily, rotten tie here, a switch un-
locked there, q switch signal unlighted, rails
not properly spiked, and, above all, had they
been with me walking on one of the above
mentioned roads at an unreasonable hour of
the night, they would have seen, as saw,
trains passing over rails ten inches apart,
instead of being within quarter of an inch
of each other. Hot Box.

HE MUST BE HARMONIOUS.

1t appears to be legitimate object Of
State pride that in the contest between
two of our modern politicians as to who
shall present the most adequate impersen-
alton of Gilbert's conception of Pooh Bah;
the Pennsylvania has left the New Yorker
distinctly in the rear. Had Governor and
Senator Hill added to his distinctions that
of a third term candidate. with the puta-
tive accession to his Presidential boom, the,
magnitude of his various positions would
have made him easily the winner But
the limitations of his powers having being
reached, it is clear that the palm of victory
must be awarded to our own State Senator,
U. S. Congressman and President of the
State League of Republican clubs, the
Hon. Jack Robinson.
1t is evident that if these important
offices are worked together in harmony,
it may be very satisfactory for their in
cumbent. But we must warn our ambi-
tious statesman against the divergence
and collisions of opinion which the Pooh
Bah of comic opera displayed. Thus if

Labouchere, the Famous Radical Editor,

October Forum.


October Forum.]
Nature has,endowed the Prince of Wales
as it did Charles II. with great tact. Like
that monarch, in his relations with the all
sorts and conditions of men and women with
whom he is brought in contact, he always
says the right thing, and says it in q hearty
and CHEEKY way, as though its utterance
were pleasure. He presides over charity
dinners. lays foundation stones sits through
scientific oratory, opens bazaars. and dances
at balls with unfiagging zeal. He is eclectic
in his surroundings. A few years ago he de-
voted himself greatly to American girls, as
their exotic independence and freedom
from conventionality pleased him. They
have now been put aside, and he has de-
veloped a curious taste for vulgar and os-
tentatiOuS parvenueS of doubtful ante
cedents and nondescript nationality. This
has caused heart burnings among those who
deem that they ought by right OF birth to be
his associates; blt it is matter of absolute
indifference to others.
few months ago he figured in q court of
law as a baccarat player whore cheating had
been suspected; and when it came out that
he himself had provided the counters with
which the game was played, he was lectured
and prayed for by the 'unco gude," al
though l confess that failed to see the diff
ference between playing at baccarat and
keeping race horses. The general feeling
was that it might be well for him so to ar
range his amusements as to manage to keep
out of the law courts: but his popularity has
not permanently suffered from this episode.

A NOTED PENNSYLVANIA GONE.

The sudden death of William III. Kemble
yesterday brings into renewed prominence
a career which has been connected with
some of the worst as well as some OF the
best features of Pennsylvania politics.
The connection of Mr.. Kemble with the
riot claims bribery is not subject which
anyone will be inclined to enlarge upon at
this time 1t is far more grateful task
to revert to the striking hberality with
which he advanced to Governor Beaver
the large sum of money needed to prose-
cute the State work at Johnstown, trust
ing to the good faith of the State to reim-
burse him for loan made without author
ity or even form of law, simply to meet an
overwhelming emergency Mr.. Kemble
was an active and enterprising capitalist,
of large undertakings and bold designs.
Where his business operations did not
touch politics in way that requires, at
such time as this, the charitable treat
ment of silence, his character and career
were those of the representative, pushing
and successful American.

a punishment they were condemned to have
red skins, and they became the progenitors
of the North American Indians. The
Hebrews and the Indians fought vigorously
from that day on. until finally in 3s4 A. D.
the last of the Hebrews were massacred by
the Indians near the present site of Palmyra.
Mormon and his son Moroni were almost the
sole survivors, and they having written
down all the history OF all this singular past,
buried the golden plates upon which they
had inscribed it in the Palmyra hill, where
Joseph Smith discovered them.
On else, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon
went into partnership to exploit old Parson
SpaIding's treasure. In which case, Mormon
himself once walked these Pittsburg streets.

to Bible, and Joe Smith of Palmyra became
q prophet, a martyr, and-some of vhe faith

serves his name. Nothing more wonderful
has come to pass within the memory of this
generation than the growth of this strange
oak out Of this Pittsburg acorn. And yet we
think that the ages Of faith have ended.

The First Pittsburg Glassmaker.


Noting the reply of Isaac Craig In your
issue of the Goth inst. to "Eden's" query in
the issue of the oath inst, 1 would state that
the late Benjamin Bakewell seems to be en-
titled TO the credit of first making glass in
Pittsburg, "strictly speaking"' as we'll as the
much greater achievement; which was un-
donbtedly his of establishing the first sue
cessful flint glass factory in this country
Edward Ensell, said to have been glass
manufacturer in England and George Rob-
inson, a carpenter, under the firm name of
Robinson & Ensell began the erection of a
block boun ded by Breckenridge street (now
Water), Grant and Ross streets and the
Monongahela river. They were unable,
however to complete the plant, which was
offered for sale in an incompleted state, and
in August, 1908, it was bought by BENJAMIN
Bakewell, Benjamin Page and Arthur Kin
der, of New York.
Mr.. Bakewell removed with his family to
Pittsburg in October, 1905 and, taking sole
charge of the enterprise, completed the fur
mace the same year, probably making glass
early In 1909, and, after many struggles, sue
ceeded in establishing the prosperous bust
ness OF Bakewell & Page.
My authority Is "Reminiscences of Glass
Making" by Deming Jarves. The material
for this work was largely furnished by the
young man of 16, and the most valuable as
sistant OF his father, Benjamin Bakewell,
and afterward for many years head of the
firm of Bakewell, Pears & Co.

ARTIFICIAL AGE FOR WHISKY.
Takamine, a Japanese Invention for Treat
ing New Liquor.


ing New Liquor.
Cincinnati Times-Star.l
The new way of prematurely aging whisky
by what is known as the Takamine process
is attrac ting a good deal or attention of the
Distillers' and Cattle Feeders Trust just
now. 1t is said TO be a Japanese invention,
which by fermenting process accomplishes
in few days what Father Time has re-
quired years to accomplish. 1t has been
tested by the trust. The Chicago Tribune is
responsible for the statement that the trust
has made a contract to equip its entire plant
with the Takamine device. The Tribune
saws: 'Work will be started Immediately on
the Manhattan distillery at Peoria, and it Is
expected that by October 15 that distillery,
with a capacity of 1000 bushels per day, viii
be in complete operation under the new
process.
1.-THE contract between the trust and the
Takamine Company is that the trust will
bear all expenses of fitting up its plant with
the new process, and the company will re-
ceiye as royalty one-fifth of the saving
effected by the process. The inventor OF
the process believes, and seems to have
pretty fully demonstrated, that he will be
able TO show a saving of something like l5
cents per bushel on the 10000 bushels per
day that the trust consumes, and in addition
to that will increase the output of alcohol
az least two quarts per bushel or course,
if ANYTHING like these results are realized,
the profits will be of 'Aladdin-lfke' proper
