AIN EVOLUTION THROUGH WAR.

AS evil is frequently overruled for
good, SO we now confidently anticipate
a substantial moral evolution to re-
suit from the war now in progress be-
tween little Japan and big China. The
various unavailing missionary organi-
cations, representing every organized
church in christendom, having tried
in vain for centuries through moral
suasion and billions of money, are to.
day coniounded and demoralized in
the face of Gods more effective plan
to save the heather and to relieve the
christians who need their money at
home the worst kind of way for the
propagation of christianity pure and
simple. The more effective Power
J that gave the Children of Israel free.
dom through war land in fact all
other people that have since been
cruelty oppressed, whether through
the extremes of idolatry or the higher
order OF luxuriant nristocracy) we
verify believe has now commenced
the beginning of the end of all heathen-
dom on earth. Among the mission
aries abroad CONSERVATION already
prevails in consequence of the war,
and all church organizations are pite-
ously appealed to for money. Money,
indeed, works wonders in temporal
and political affairs, but in spiritual
affairs it is quite possible to exact
and spend too much of it to no pur
pose. In the fulness of time things
come to pass in Gods providence,
but never until that fulness Of time
has arrived.

The Governors Cabinet.

AS to the cabinet officers of Gov.
ernor Hastings, many of those who
were in hopeful suspense are still sus.
pended, since it is now published as a
well-grounded fact that Frank Reeder,
OF Northampton county will be his
Secretary of State; Henry Clay Nc
Cormick, of Lycoming county, will
be his Attorney General; Thomas J.
Stewart, of Montgomery county, Ad-
jutant General Col. James H. Lam
bert, of Philadelphia, Insurance Com
missioner ; and Lewis E. Butler, of
Philadelphia, his Private Secretary.
Though there's many slip twixt the
cup and the lip, this is the next cabi-
net according to Philadelphia lawyers
who ought to know some little time
ahead of the official announcement.

Were proper apportionment OF the
responsibility for the hard times to be
meeted out to the controlling powers
he thought the Democratic party
could stoutly disclaim any large share
of it.
In every campaign from 1886 to
1894 reforming and reducing the
tariff has been the great and winning
issue with Democracy. In 1886 il
won decided victory on that issue.
Punishment is not meted out because
Of tariff reformation but rather be
cause of failure to act promptly and
thoroughly complete the work pro
missed to be fulfilled. Mr.. Wilson isnot
without hope for the future by any
means.

Chairman Wilson in Massachusetts,.

AT recent reception and dinner
rendered Mr.. Wilson In Boston, Mass,
by some seventy.fve of lhe leading
Democrats of the State, he spoke as
follows:
81 do not feel, and l am sure
feel still less than ever before, any
special reason to be cast down by the
somewhat unexpected reverse of last
election. am sure I have not my
self any feeling of dependency con-
cerning my own candidacy or the
general results, or as regards the fate
of the Democratic party, for this rea-
son: During the past ten years we
have taken up great issue and have
fought it out as no other great issue
was ever fought out in the history of
politics. We lave succeeded in plac-
ing on the statute books of the coun-
try not so good a law as we ought to
have put there, but law as to whose
permanency have no sort Of doubt.
Whatever we have done will remain.
/ do not believe we will ever 60 back
to what the President has so aptly
called mad protection" When people
begin to realize in their own homes
and living the benefcient work of the
Democratic party, l believe they will
come back to sustain u.s. For this
reason | am not cast down by the re-
suit of the election. We have simply
encountered, first, hard fight of all
parties and, second, an impossible
fight with that which they call "hard
times"
"This was moi deliberate condem.
nation of our party, and what it has
done. The kick came from the heels
of the American people-there was
very little brains in it. l know we
have suffered for reasons for which
we are not particularly responsible for,
| admit that some of our work has
been done in bungling manner.
But in a popular government run by
$1,000, 900 voters there will always be
some hesitating and bungling work.
An autocracy or bureaucracy can be
run with greater steadiness and ac-
but popular government we
must have, if we have it at all, at the
price of bungling work"

Right You Are.
The Danville LnteUigencer Of last

The Danville HteAigencer Of last
week says;
One thing we noticed on Nov. 9th
while at the polling booth in the Third
Ward, that no voter was questioned
whether he had paid State or County
tax within two years. On enquiry OF
the election board as to their action
in this matter, they all stated that it
had not been done throughout the
day, and that they had no record fur
nished them of delinquent taxpayers
on the registry list. There appears to
be remisness here unparalleled. The
law peremptorily directs that no person
shall vote who has not paid State or
County tax within two years, and
such vote cast is illegal and the Of
fender liable to be prosecuted. There
needs reform here. Another matter,
every year candidates are bled to pay
for delinquent taxpayers. According
to the method adopted at the Third
Ward poll and probably at the others,
it is downright robbery to bleed a
candidate thus, when fellow who
has not paid taxes perhaps for dozen
years is allowed to vote the same as
the property owner or other citizen
who has conformed to the laws in
paying taxes.

AS usual the ubiquitous reporter of
Washington has already outlined the
Administrators financial policy for
the future. In the outlining it will be
observed that the national banking
laws are to be changed if they accord
with the forthcoming Presidents pro
clamation which the aforesaid report.
er seems to know all about Secretary
Carlisle, whom rumor would have in a
perpetual quarrel with the President,
really spent pleasant time in social
business chat with him recently, and
in the anxiety to know all that tran
spired the absent reporter referred to
unkindly discloses the sum and sub
stance of the happy interview, as we'll
as the forth coming proclamation to
Congress. What the Washington re-
port don't know in advance of its
birth, is comparatively little indeed.

1t is said the friends of Judge
Sttser have decided to contest the
election Of President Judge in the
Wyoming-Sullivan district. They
claim they have already information
of enough votes which were cast for
Judge Sittser and thrown out to give
him the election by substantial ma
jority. Many of them are Republican
tickets with cross in the circle and
also cross opposite Judge Sittser's
name. Such votes, Judge Archibald,
Of Scranton, decides in a similar case,
must be counted as the voter intended,
that is for the Republican ticket with
the exception of Judge and for Judge
Sittser. An investigation into this
matter will do no injustice to either
candidate.

DR.. Parkhurst, the famous New
York renovator, is becoming some
what involved in newspaper contro
versy with Mr.. Platt about who is
boss of the legislature, We believe it
possible for DR.. Parkhurst to be either
a moral reformer or political boss
but we don't think that man lives who
can successfully fill both of these i'm,
portant Offices at once, and if the
doctor has one well in hand he had
better take Platt's advice and drop the
other.
