THE INFORMATION that, when asked
about an interview in which somebody
had said he would not accept renomi-
nation, General Harrison "only smiled"
is one of those stunning and cyclonic
pieces of news under which the wires
of our country sometimes stagger at a
certain price per word, during the
heated term.

They WILL REGRET IT.

ShelbyUhle Republican,.
We believe in laws which enable our
mechanics aud laborers to earn enough to
support their families and lay by sufficient
to buy home and protect them from
want when the time comes when they are
unable to labor as hard as they did in the
prime Of life. This the Mckinley law did,
and we believe that it's repeal was wrong,
and that the day will come when those
who favored it will regret it.

1t is plain common sense. No honest

For SOME time hence it is probable
that long range missionary work will
be the most popular in dealing with
the heathen Chinese on his own terri
tory. The propensity to join the mob
and slaughter white Christians is alto
gether too strong in the Flowery
Kingdom in war times and it is pleas
ing to note that the majority of people
who have taken up the work of con-
verting the yellow pagans have wisely
concluded that it is better to be live
missionary than dead martyr to the
cause. The almond-eyed son of China
in mission school in this country is a
very different individual from the un.
converted heather in his own home
reinforced by hundreds of his class and
maddened by the mischievous elo-
quence of the celestial orators who
would have all white people banished
from their country. The recent eXpe-
rience Of missionaries in China who
narrowly escaped being murdered by
mobs will undoubtedly have the effect
of making missionary work in China
unpopular, at least until the war is
over.

The WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC
COMPANY, of Pittsburg, has just re.
ceived from the Chicago City Railway
company, which is the most extensive
streetrailway corporation in the United
States, an order for 4,5O0 horsepower
of generators and 800 motors. The
value of this order is said to be in the
neighborhood of $lSO,0OO; and we men
tion it here because it illustrates one of
Scranton's present industrial deficien-
cies which the near future must cor
rect. Ten, perhaps five years hence,
orders like this will be coming to
Scranton, brought here by the newt
able attractions of cheap fuel, abundant
labor and superabundant facilities.

A RECESS NEEDED.

The Lexow Committee Is just now d.
vided on the question Of continuing the

OF taking a long recess and resuming

be hard to require him to continue such
work as he has been doing during the

Once More the Rnndenu,

Late illustrated exchanges from Paris
contain pictures of women wearing their
hair in bandeaux, style common
enough some thirty years ago. The
fashion Is already we'll under way in
the French capital. and will. of course,
soon be the correct thing In this country.
Any old daguerreotype will show just
what the bandeau Is When last in ia sh-
ion 1t was accompanied by the chignon,
but The revival of to-day omts that
abomination. The bandeau Is brought
down from the middle of the brow, 80
that 1t touches the outer corner Of the
eyebrow, hides most Of the forehead, a
portion Of the cheek and all but the
lower tip of the ear. 1t must be trained to
cling to the face with a closeness that

Of all bopelessly incongruous affairs, the

ally observed In this instance, although
but few faces can stand this severe de-
cree. A pale. clear complexion and
cameo-like features are adapted to the
bandeau, but to any other the change
from frizzes and wavy hair Is likely tc
be more or less trying.

One of the Joys OF the Japanese
woman's life. which Sir Edwin Arnold
has failed to dwell upon, Is her hair
dressing. although he mentions the re-
suit admiringly. The ordinary Japanese
woman has her hair dressed twice a
week. First the assistant hairdresser
comes and oils the locks with camellia
or seaasum oil: then the principal ar
rives and spends nearly an hour in pillng
up her hair so that 1t will indicate the
| caste and age OF the woman and whether
she is maid. wife or widow" For all
that Is expressed by the arrangement of
the locks in Japan. The women sleep
upon neck blocks, carefully followed out
so that the hair may remain undisturbed
all n'Tht. For ladies' Of high degree
these blocks are beautifully lacquered
and decorated. They generally have a
little drawer into which the superfluous
ornaments can be put at night.

Agnostic Philosophy.

To the Editor.
In a communication OF Mr.. N. in your paper on
June noticed the essence Of the agnostic
philosophy. There are many ways OF retuting the
philosophy OF the unknowable. 1t could easily be
shown that Mr.. Spencer, In working 1t out has
fallen into more than one intellectual suicide
1t could be proved that 1t is utterly useless for
the purpose OF excluding revelation. It could be
proved that. followed to Its legitimate conse-
Guences. metaphy ysically, It leads directly to com
ple,e nssc,enee But all these methods would In
volve metaphysical reasoning, which the majority
OF agnostics might md to be dry and drncult to
follow, Hence, as 1t is sometimes found that
the best way to get rid OF an absurd law is to
enforce II, believe that the best way to show
the absurdity OF the aEnostic philosophy is to
Insist upon rigorous application OF It wher-
ever the method is applicable l. D. @.

WHIPPING DEMOCRACY ROUND THE
STUMP.

Senator Hill made q strong anti-Ad-
ministratian anti-Democratic speech
in his TRADE against the income tax
Thursday. AS a new exhibition OF his
undying enmity towards the Democratic
President whose nomination he did every
thing to prevent and whose election he
did little to promote. 1t was a success.
AZ an argument against the income tax

bear their share of the burden OF taxa

agent has q right to rail against the

Senator Hill to criticise Congress fol-
having adopted the recently denounced
