TWO MORE SILVER SENATOR'S.

The Utah enabling act has passed
the House and Como to the Senate,
where it will doubtless not long remain
neglected. The President will hardly
dare veto it, rs Utah is more largely
populated and more extensively de-
veloped, than were Nyoming, Mon,
tana, Idaho, Nebraska. and many
other Territories when they were adj
mitted to the Union.
Utah is believed to be Democratic;
hence the apparent hurry to adm I
her. But this We dee m OF very small
importance at present, IS, with the
exception of the tariff the respective
policy Of the parties is much alike.
The important point involved il
the admission Of Utah is that two
more votes will be thereby added t.
the silver strength in the >enate
And as the next Congressional cleo.
ton will undoubtedly result in q
large increase of silver members the
cause of the white metal will bs
greatly strengthened.
We of the silver States therefore
biz Utah godspeed into the sister,
hood Of S,a'es.

Volcanoes Of the United States.

Excluding Alaska, the United

not been SO long. A chain of volca-
noes extends from southern South
America into Mexico, then there is
large bre ak, and the interrupted chain
begins again in Alaska, curves south

Bleeding Bread.

Considerable dlsmsy was caused in

some what rare phenomenon was re-
garded as a miracle, but modern
sciencs has shown that it is due to
the growth Of q microscopic plant,
which is known to some-accordiBR
to Dr.. NJ. G. Cooke-as Micrococcusus
prodigicsus and to others as Bacill, 8
prodigiosus. The true explanation of
the terrifying blotches was first pointed
out by Paduan naturalist in 1919.

The Record Broken,

General Manager Sands, Of the Nor

from Philadelphia announcing that the
steamship Lucania has, with Pocahon-
tas coal on her eastbound trip. broken
the record, making the passage across
the Atlantic in days, 10 hours and 30
minutes. This beats the eastbound
record of the Campania by hour and
25 minutes, and. excluding the Campa>
mia, beats the best eastbound passage
of any steamship by 6 hours and 81
minutes. She averaged q knots r ar

THE WORLD s PROGRESS.
Rev. DR.. A. J Rowland on Lessons
Learned at the Grear Fair.

Learned at the Grear Fair.
Rev DR.. A. J. Rowland, pastor of
Franklin Square Baptist Church, who
recently returned from the Worlds
Fair, preached at his church last night
on Lessons Learned at Chicago"
"The first of these lessons" said DR..
Rowland, is that we are living in
wonderful age and land. 1t is doubtful
if any other age or country could get
together and arrange with better effect
SO marvellous an exposition as that OF
the White City. No one could gaze
upon the magnificent collection of build
ings grouped at Chicago and their con-
tents without feeling grateful that he
lives in America and the ninteenth cen
fury
ut is evident also that progress is the
law of humanity. Ia almost every one
of the exhibits this is brought out.
One has but to compare the older OBJ
| jects with those in use today to see the
strides the world has been making with
| in the past century. 1t was thought
| that the centennial marked as high a
point in achievement as the world Was
likely to reach, but the Chicago Expo
sition has gone far beyond that, and
this leads to a further lesson with re-
gard to the future. Nobody can tell
what the next decade or two may bring
forth. In the department of electricity
this is especially true. Itmay not be
long before every family liz moderate
circumstances will have Its telautograph
and all the busy housekeeler will have
to do will be to touch button by her
beside and set the breakfast cooking in
the kitchen below. If railroads keep on
advancing as they have in the past and
steamships keep up the same pace, it
may be possible in a few years to lie
down at night in Baltimore and wake
up the next morning in Chicago or st.
Louis, or to start off to Europe on Mon
day and be back again for church the
next Sunday. The worlds progress has
reached high>water mark in the present
exposition, but it would take prophet
to tell how much higher it is yet to
go.
"Another lesson one learns at Chicago
Is the power of faith. Chicago ITSELF a
marvellous city in many respects, and
the great exposition it has fostered are
both exemplifications of that principle
of faith which works everywhere in hui
man life and lies at the base Of religion.
1t was faith in ability to master the
great project and faithin in its ultimate
success which made iChicago and the
exposition what they are to day. Every
thing is possible to him that believeth
"We also may learn the value of def
mite plan and purpose. The exposition
is great and satisfying because it was
organized alone an definite lines, followed
wise plans and had behind it a deter
mined purpose. If we would succeed il
this world. we must be actuated by the
same principle and governed by the
same devotion. tits the working at hap
hazardwhich always brings failure.
The last lesson is the univeral need Of
the gospel. There were men at the fail
of all nationaiities and from all walks Of
life. One could see that every one O
these people needed something more
than what the exposition, with all its
beauty and wealth, had to offer. Bal

Van Alien Confined

The appointment OF Van Allen to be
ambassador of italy was confirmed by
the Senate Monday by q vote to 80 to %,
and it has again been demonstrated that
the New York World is neither the ma
ton nor the Democratic party. We
have neither considered the appoint
ment of Van Allen except as mistake
and one OF the gravest mistakes that
Grover Cleveland ever made. Mr. Van
Allen is man of wealth and education
and will doubtless make competent
representative at the court of King
Humbert, but he is not the sort of man
that we like to see honore1 by DEM
ocratic administration However, the
charge that he bought the office is all
solutely ridiculous, and when it is con>
sidcred that this appointment was one
of the few things asked of the admins.
tration by William G. Whitney there is
not much ground left for criticism of the
Pre- sidant.
Mr.. Van Allen, who is one of Mr. Whit
ney's friends, contributed to the Dem
ocratic campaign fund. Nothing was
said about reward one way or the other
and there is no reason to presume that
the President knew of Mr.. Van Aliens
contribution when he made the APP
pointment After the election Mr..
Whitney asked Mr.. Van Allen if he would
like to be the ambassador to Italy, and
Mr.. Van Allen said yes Mr.. Whitney
asked the President to appoint him and
+, his name was sent to the Senate.
The New York World for the sake of
a sensation trumped up the charge of
corruption and the opposing press fell
into line under the leadership of news
paper that poses as a Democratic au
thority However the assaults of this
scurilous and unreliable sheet will
have no effect on the unsullied reputa.

Compromise "of..

1t is announced that compromise is
"otf,n because Mr.. Cleveland declares
that the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law should be repealed
Internationally, or not at all. There
seems to be no question that this is his
position and Washington kilograms,
moreover, inform US that number of
senators have already withdrawn their
names from the paper pledging them to
vote for the amendments to the Voor-
hees bill indicated in our last issue.
1t would thus seem that a promising
scheme, and one which rejoiced the bu
siness public, has been badly crippled,
if not destroyed. Not few who would
vote for compromise to put certain end
to controversy, would not care to do so
in the face of an express statement that
a compromise bill would probably, if not
surely, be vetoed by the President.
With the lights before us at this mo-
ment it would seem that no compromise
can now be effected. If this be true,
the alternative is cloture, or an almost
endless deadlock in the Senate. Mr. Voor-
hees and Mr.. Hill, who are engineering
the cloture petition, seems to take it for
granted that the Vice. President will rule
SO as to allow cloture to be adopted upon
the request of forty three senators, but
they may be mistaken. If so, what next?
If compromise is not dead, there are
three things to be considered, which
might we'll cause even it's advocates to
halt, pleased though they may have
been when the compromise was first
agreed upon by the steering committee.
First, this compromise may kill the
clot ure bill, and killing it may operate
to defeat all action ON the bill to abolish
Federal interference with the elections
in the several States And it must not
be forgotten that the number of Sen
ators opposed to the elections>bill, which
recently passed the House of Represen-
tatives, is much larger than the number
of silverites in the Senate.
Secondly, what we haye just said as to
the elections bill may be repeated in
speaking of the tariff bill. If fillabuster-
ing and dilatory devices and speaking
against time can be successfully resort
ed to in the case of the bill TO repeal the
Sherman law, and the bill to repeal the
elections law, the same may be resorted
to in the Csc of an anti>protective tariff
bill.
Thirdly, the com promise bill-if not
abandoned-may, under the present
rules, be defeated by the senators who
may have insuperable objections to it.
Cur latest kilograms may throw some
further light upon this subject, but, as
at present advised, we think that the
proposed compromise is not yet to be
classed amongst the bills which are like
ly to become laws.
Even SO staid and courteous a paper
as the Baltimore Sun denounces it as a |
cowardly surrender on the part of the
repealers.
This is the most interesting episode in
the history of the government, and may
result to the surprise of Richmond

Federation Of All Brotherhood Or
ganization Strongly Advocated.
WHITE HAVEN, October 2s.-There
was meeting of the different railroad
mems organizations held here to-day
attended by representatives of the
Brotherhoods of trainmen, firemen, en-
gineers, conductors and telegraph oLe-
rators, coming from Scranton, Wilkes
barre, Mauch Chunk, Hazleton and
neighborting towns. George Heimbach,
president of the local branch of the En-.
gineer's Association, was made chair.
man and James Deteline, of Wilkesbarre
secretary.
After hearing the rpeorts of several
committees and disposing ofroutine bus.
mess Charles A. Wilson, of Phillipsburg
N. j., delivered an address, in which he
strongly advocated the federation of all
railroad organizations He predicted
that within q short time the engineers,
firemen, brakemen, conductors and tele-
graph operators would be under one
governments; and be profited greatly by
it..
While the meeting was open to the
public and little of general Importance
was introduced, it is well known that il
had an important bearing on the meet,
ing held simultaneously at Easton. Al
there is much dissatisfaction among the
employees of both the Leigh Valley and
the Jersey Central Roads on this divis
ion, some important development are
looked for soon.

Roanoke Rioters Indicted.

ROANOKE, VA, Oct. 23.-The special
grand jury to investigate the late riot
made the following report this afternoon:
Indictments for misdemeanor, Walter
Davis, Thomas Briggs, Morris O'Hern,
Harry Dow, Charles Mcdaniel, Joseph
Varella, K. Dennedy, A. Perry, James
G.. Richardson, s. w. Faqua, Brown
Myers. For felony. Walter S. Boone,
Edward Page, Frank Shippard, as prin-
cipals: J. F. Terry, chief of police; A. H.
Griffin, sergeant of police, as accessories
before the fact. Richardson was indict-
ed for felony on proof that he broke in
to Nelson & Meyers hardware store SO
the mob could get arms. The jury ac>
companied their presentments with re-
port commencing Mayor Trout for order
ing out the military and protecting the
prisoner, but saying he made mistake
in leaving the city. The report also
cites the fact that the police were de-
moralized. Sergeant Griffin was in
charge of the squad of two officers from
whom the negro Thomas Smith, the ne
gro assailant of Mrs. Bishop, was taken
and hanged. Warrants are now being
issued for those indicted for felony, and
all who can be found will be arrested
and locked up tonight. There is con-
siderable excitement among the people,
but no trouble whatever is anticipated.
