Consider II on Its Merit.

Senator Grady, OF Philadelphia, has
received information. 1t is alleged, that
Il combination of country members of
the legislature has been formed at
Harrisburg for the purpose of defeat
ing a number of bills. among which he
includes the new Appellate court bill
Report has it that ex-Auditor General
Niles, of Tioga, is at the head of this
movement, but that the movement is
less hostile to the Appellate court bill
than it is to a number of other meas
calendar.
Without assuming to say how far the
Philadelphia and Allegheny delega-
tions, by their cohesive habits. have in
vited a counter combination Of the
rural or granger element. 1t can be
said that such combinations are to be
deplored, as being beneath the dignity
and outside the sphere of the state leg
islature. They are especially deplora-
VIC NiiSll lol ihtu lpI lHc puIpOSt VI ut-
feating bills of general interest, APP
pealing to the favor of all sections
equally. Such a bill is the Appellate
court bill The advantages which
would result from its enactment into
law would be confined to no part of the
commonwealth, but would appeartain
to the entire state. We take it that no
county and no district in Pennsylva-
MIA would be benefited by the continu-
the dockets of our su-
preme court, renders problematical a
and unhurried adjudication
of cases on appeal.
That being true, why should not the
legislature at Harrisburg look at the
scheme of relief frankly and
without needing who are
its advocates or where they reside?
The proposition should stand or fall
on it's merits as affecting the
public welfare. We believe that sufIi-
cient arguments have been advanced
to convince the unprecedented man of
the need of an intermediate state court
Of appeals; and that a public which has
listened to a fair canvass of these ar
guments will be inclined to resent the

traneous issues such as are limited at

The Newsnaper of the Future.

In a recent syndicate article a num-
ber of leading editors and publishers
gave various replies to the question:
"What will be the newspaper of the
future?" The large part which even
the imperfect newspaper of the present
plays in public affairs gives to this
question wider range of interest than
would ordinarily attach to trade
topic.
Upon one point the score or so Of
great editors represented in this SYM
postum seem to be agreed; and that is
that the day of gutter sensatonalism
in American daily journalism has gone
by. Quality and accuracy are here
after to be the supreme tests in those
newspaper sanctums which hope to
grow with the mental and moral as
we'll as the numerical growth of their
constituencies. 1t is, generally agreed,
also, that news will hereafter be of
larger relative Importance than 1t
hitherto has been; while the purely
editorial expression of opinion will
grow more catholic and less dogmatic
than formerly In the coming centuries
1t is assumed that people will be able,
after an impartial presentation Of the
news, to form their own opinions with,
out the aid Of an editorial writer. The
editorial page will then become clear
ing house of bright ideas, rather than
an arsenal Of party weapons, to be
taken nolens volens. under penalty of
party discipline.
The point concerning which the able
editors cannot agree Is precisely the
point touching which the laymen
themselves are puzzled. VIII the news
paper Of the future be blanket sheet,
large enough to paper house, or will
1t be boiled down? General Agnus. the
affable editor of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, thinks the rage for bulk has

ivOriteS in Ses sion.

The eloquent address of BENJAMIN r.
Lewis, delivered as president of last
evenings banquet to the Grand Lodge
officers of the American Ivorites. ut
tered the keynote to much that is no.
blest in the Welsh character "Let us
remember" he said in substance. that
we are not the only people who have
contributed of their genius and their
skill to the upbuildiug of America.
Though we have given n Roger Will
Jams and a Robert Morris. let US not
forget that England has supplied a
Wesley and a Wilberforce; Germany a
Baron Steuben and France u Lafayette.
1t is not necessary to the proper ap-
probation Of the Welsh people that we
should deny due need of praise to rep
resentatives of other races. Rather
should we strive to unite the best of
each into one grand human brother
hood"
1t is in pursuance of these broad
for itself an honored place among our
best fraternal organizations. No So
ciety can draw into it's fold men from
all sections of this wide country with
out quickly responding to their liberal
izing influences. The lofty spirit of pa
triotism and the deep devotion to
American ideals which breathe through
all the proceedings of these annual
lodge conventions stamp the Ivorite or
der as one in whose growth every
American can take honest and genuine
pride. Those of us who do not know
the meaning of the reminiscent loyalty
of a transplanted people for the loved
land that gave them birth are some
times apt to confuse this proper graft
tude with fancied hack of apprecia-
ton for the institutions of the adopted
country. Such a confusion, however, does
the Welsh people gross injustice; for
while they venerate the green hills and
ancient wales of the mother-country,
and take pride in it's rich wealth of
tradition and story, of music and
poetry, there is not in all America a
Welshman who has failed in any test
of earnest fealty to the Stars and
Stripes.
All classes of citizens, entering with
sympathy into the spirit Of the present
gathering at Wilkes-Barre, wish for the |
grand lodge of Ivorites a happy ses-
sion, followed by another year of strong |
and steady growth. |

reached it's limit; Colonel Foster
Coates, of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, is not sure that 1t Is not
just beginning. Where eminent doc
tors disagree, 1t would i'll become tyro
to hazard an opinion. But 1t may be
said, as voicing an indisputable COM
mercial truism, that publishers do not
print shawl-strap editions for their
to buy and to demand large papers,
the public will promptly be served with
smaller ones.
Up to this writing there is nothing to
indicate that the public's taste Is be-
ginning to change in this particular.

Tammany Redivivus.

The spectacle of Frederick Smyth
stepping from the Recordership bench
in New York to take the active COM
mand of discredited political organi-
zation like Tammany Hall is not calcu-
lated to reflect credit backward upon
his career as a judge. The speed with
which he has accomplished the transi-
tion from the theoretically non-partisan
atmosphere of the bench to the foul
air of the wigwam would seem to indi-
cate that in his case the descent was
not so far as it would be expected to
be in the case of an ideal judge.
But more important, even, than this
metamorphosis of Smyth Is the an
nouncement that the real leader the
one great chieftain of the latterly bed
raggled and disconsolate braves, Rich
ard Croker, is preparing to return to
the warpath. After a season of conven-
lent retirement. during which exposure
would doubtless seriously have jeap-
arded his health, Croker is to seize the
tomahawk and head the column which
the braves will hurl into next falls
campaign. Smyth, as titular grand
sachem, may ride the foremost steed;
but the hand that will guide its rein
will be the fine dextral extremity of
the former unterrified boss. While 1t
Is not Croker's expectation to reap an
immediate harvest of scalps, he will, it
is reported, vancouver with an eye to
1896, trusting to be enabled to repay
some part of the debt accumulated by
him in the Chicago convention of 1892.
1t is unfortunate that some color has
been lent to this story of Croker's
hopes by the unseemly strife and dis
sension with which the Empire State
Republican camp has lately been griey-
ously afflicted. Had the Republican or
ganization in our sister commonwealth
seriously desired to clear the pathway
to Democratic rehabilitation on Man
haitian island, 1t could hardly have put
In operation a more effective course
than the Albany policy of obstruction
for which 1t is responsible. The bicker-
ings growing out of that audacious at
tempt to emasculate the reform victory
of last November naturally give the
Tammany chieftains renewed courage
and inspiration. But while the people
or Gotham may not condor the treach-
cry of the Platt faction, we suspect that
they are as far now as they were last
autumn from recommitting their city
government to the hands of exposed
and convicted looters.

No Argument at All.
From the Courier-Progress:

From the Courier-ProgresS:
There need be no fear about school ac-
commodations, though the lack Of them is
no sound argument against compulsory
education. School accommodations must
be furnished. Every child Is entitled to
an education. 1t is his right, and Truth
ought to find something better to do than
to strive as 1t has to rob the 10000 chill
dren who don't go to school of educational
advantages. 1t has spit out an abun-
dance of ill-feeling against this measure,
but 1t has advanced no arguments worthy
of the name, and Its cry of lack Of school
accommodations as an argument against
compulsory education Is as ridiculous as
anything 1t ever said.

72,60O tons. Assuming this water to have
fallen from clouds about half a mile, or
say 5000 feet above the earth we have for
the energy represented by 1t about 22,0OO
horsepower. With pumping machinery
working at the low rate of consumption Of
two pounds of coal per horsepower per
hour 1t would take 200 gross tons of coal
to raise the water represented by one inch
of rain on square mile to the assumed
height of 5000 feet. AS u matter of fact,
rain often falls from clouds which are at
much greater height than 5000 feet above
the ground. SO that the figures just given
