CAMERoN's SUCCESSOR.

Although the election of a Senator to
Succeed Cameron will not occur until year
from next January, Pennsylvani isalready
In the throcs of making a selection. Be
cause Senator Quay resides in the west, it
is assumed that the new Senator will be
chosen from the east, and from that prolific
section candidates are Matched and become
full feathered at a single setting.
Among those mentioned it is easy-4o Sc
lect some who should not be made Senators
Hon. John Wanamaker, for instance, is so
admirable as a keeper of great bazaar that
his State should not dema nd the sacrifice
of his serving In the Senate. When once
asked to write sketch of himself, He re-
piled: Thinking. toiling, trusting in God, is
barred from continuing to think and toll
and trust in God by being thrust irrto the
United States Senate.
Mr.. Peter A. B. widener is another gen.
tlenan who should not be taken ava from
his corporations and syndicates and mo-
nopolies and Schemes for controlling earth,
air. gas, water and lightning for hum-tlrum
lie In the senate. Mr.. WIdener is too use
full as an Illustration of the fact that COM
petition in production and distribution is
a failure, and that combination on a scale
which will take in all creation is the only
solution Of revolutionized Industrial and
commercial conditions.
Two gentlemen are prominently men,
toned, either of whom would shine bril-
liantly in the Senate. One is Charles Emory
Smith, editor OF the Philadelphia Press
and late ambassador to Russia; the other Is
John Russell Young, editor of the Philadef-
phia Star, and late Minister to China. 1t
would be eminently proper If the younger
Cameron were succeeded by one of "thern
damned literary fellers," which were held
In such profound contempt by the elder
Cameron. ---=----

MIR. HARyEY,s ORDER.

The crimes that have been committed in
The Inconsistencies perpetrated in its name
are yet more numerous. There are also
asiuinties, but all of these fade into in
significance when compared to the per-
formance of "Coin's Financial School,
Harvey, who has started new order
called patriots of America"
He announces free coinage of silver as
the piece de resistance" but, besides this,
a purpose OF the order will be 10 fight mo-
nopolies and eliminate selfishness from the
World.
Mr--Earvey would accomplish all of his
forming political party, but every four
years he would have a vote taken of the
memberS Of. lie order, the ma iority decid-
ing for the minority which candidates for
President and Vice President of other par
ties inthe field the Patriots OF America"
must support as body.
: One must conclude either that Mr.. Harvey
iseBtitely daft or that lie is in The pay of
the old parties to assist Ia perpetuate them.
Does Mr.. Harvey suppose his ma jority OF
Patriots would control his minority OF Pa
'triots? -'fs -
-Qoes he suppose the persons elected from
the ranks of the old parties would be less
the devotees of old party principles on
account of the support given by the Pa
triots?
Organizers of such a fool body should at
orce be incarcerated in the asylum for
born idiots, no matter how commercial bic
some of the aims may be. Doubtless MIR.

How Bohemian Ghss-wOrkers Are

RED CROSS IN Turkey.

Nothing in connection with the terrible
such a--world- wide sensation as the an
nouncement that the Red Cross Society will
invade the dominion Of the sultan to give
aid and succor to the Armenians, which an
nouncement was first given TO the public
exclusively in The Evening Times.
while at first glance this movement,
Originated by the American portion OF the
society, with Miss Barton at its head, and
indorsed by the international president,
Moynier of Switzerland, may look like
one of simple mercy, butmercy of the grand
est type, 1t may possibly lead TO coinplica-
tions which will arouse the whole civilized
sSorld to demand the dethronement of the
sultan, and the decent and humane govern
ment OF the Turkish empire and adjacent
empires.
The appearance of the Red Cross under
the shadow of the Crescent will fire the
hatred of every Mussulnian, and not only
will the niais.rations of its dcvotecs be re-
sisted, but every attempt will be made to
suppress the truthful reports it will give
forth of the outrages that have been perpe-
trated upon the Armenians.
Every civilized country will contribute
members OF the Red Cross Society for the
Turkish visitation. The civilized world
will demand protection for thebrave women
who will conduct the merciful Operations.
Insult or attack upon them will excite a
frenzy of indignation which will compel a c.
ton on the part of the pestiferous diplomats
who care nothing for massacre and every
thing for political and commercial advant-
age.

ciety, II it carry out its purpose fearlessly,

tion the world has yet witnessed, and force

Ever since 1856 large edetachments of Turks
have, after receiving preliminary insiruc-

army, to return after a year or so OF bard
work and disseminate the knowledge thus
gained among their comrades. In tie same
way. but merely for instructive purposes
have exemplary German officers taken

1T happens frequently that foreign eff
GERS entering the service of friendly ma

declined to receive men so situated as
instructors. His friendship with the Eaiscr
guaranteed the character of all the officers
engaged for his army; tEey were all picked
soldiers, tried teachers. men of stamina and
experience. The majority had served at
least part of their time with the engineer
