SONG OF THE SEASON.

She is waiting for the signal. for the
sounding Of the bell
That will start the young reporter all her
trumphs glad to tell.
How he'll rave about her talents and her
shy. reluctant feet.
And he'll ring In all the changes where
the brook and river meet.
He Will write such glowing columns of her
brimming golden curls,
He will crown her queen triumphant OF
the rosebud wreath Of girls.
He will chant her praises ever. from the
dewy morn tn night,
And she'll wear In every instance "some
soft clinglng stun of white.
But she doesn't mind the chatter that he
writes q little bit.
For she's conscious that her crepe de
chene will surely make hit
And her essay. tied with ribbon, which
will say. as heretofore.
That the Past she's left behind her ana
the Future Is before!
How she'll tremble as she courtseys DER
her ribbon-tied bouquet.
How she'll sweetly flush and fiutter as sho
shyly Gibbs away.
And u tear will brlm her lashcs as she
nestles by her mate.
What dear delicious humbug Is the
sweet girl graduate!
oh. the poets tell the glorles OF the leafy
month of June,
And they sing the song of roses TO an old
and worn-out tune;
But the man who reads the papers feels n
thrill of helpless hate.
II he hasn't got u daughter who's sweet
girl graduate! Judge.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Discussing the now-famous interview Of
Senator Penrose declaring for Mckinley,
which he regards az voiclng the opinion
Of Senator Quay, Walter Wellman. him
self a Democrat, writes to the Chicago
| Times Herald that conservative Washing
ton estimates give Quay control Of As out
of Pennsylvania Ga Republican delegates
to the next national convention. Mr..
Wellman adds: Matthew Stanley Quay
Is regarded in Washington as the best
politician in America. IL one Is to be
Judged by results Quay Is worthy of this
distinction. Without any other leverage
than his skill as manipulation of men, he
has kept his leadership in the face Of
scandal and fierce opposition. Not an ora
tor, nor even tolerable public speaker,
with no gift Of posing or charming, with
out sentiment or association with any
great idea, he has defied all rivalry. The
question is often asked: How does
Quay manage i;?' The answer Is very in
terest!ng. In the first place. he never goes
back on his friends. He fights for his
friends. early and late. all the time. Prob
ably the man does not live who can truth
fully say that Quay ever broke n promise
to him. Such IL man attaches friends to
him with steel hooks. They are as ready
to fight for him as he for them. Outside
of Pennsylvania many men look upon
Quay as a man of low tone, IL boss Of
odious characteristics. leader who ought
to be dethroned. But attack Quay in
Pennsylvania, and from river to mountain
tops not only the Republican leaders. but
the rank and file, rush to his support.
The Republican party of Pennsylvania,
outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburg is
as thoroughly subject to his orders as Is
an army to the commands of its generals
orders" All Of which comes mighty near
to being the gospel truth.
The Wilkes-Barre Record repeats its
wanton misstatement that Lackawanna
Republicans are "hopelessly divided" with
reference to Mr.. Wizards candidacy and
adds ut all came about through the ac-
tion of Congressman Scranton, who took
occasion. on the very day that the Scran-
ton elegation went to Harrisburg In Will
lard's behalf, to severely cr!ticise Gov
ernor Hastings In the columns Of the Re-
publican. That paper holds the governor
responsible for the extravagance of the
pride In the size of his majority, tand
charges him with promoting a presidential
boom for himself at the expense OF his
party The motive behind this vindictive
drive Is not clear. But the friends of Will
lard believe that 1t Is aimed at him and
resent II accordingly" The Record ought

The Philosophy of Education.

| In the course OF all address last week
before the graduating class of the
| Northwestern university at Chicago
Governor Mckinley uttered many gems
of thought which shine lustrousiy when
singled out for special quotation. Wit
ness the following:
The beginning of education is the home
and the greatest advantage of the Arner.-
| can system OF instruction Is largely due 10
the elevated influences Of the happy and
| prosperous homes of our people. There Is
the foundation of the most important part
| of education; II the home life IS pure, sin
cere and good. the child Is usually we'll
prepared to receive all the advantages and
| Inspirations Of more advanced education.
The American home where honesty. So
briefly and truth preside and the simple
everyday virtues without pomp and os-
| tentation are practiced, Is the nursery of
all true educat.ons.
The need Of the times Is thorough educa-
ton. thorough equipment for life work.
What we want to do Is to know some good
| thing better than anybody else knows Il,
and If We know some useful thing better
| than our ne!ghbors know 1t then an ave-
| nue to successful life is open to us.
| Don't permit college ideals to warn you
| and remove you from active participation
| in everyday affairs of life. Learning and
, honor increase your capacity for useful
| ness and leadership. Go out among the
people and keep in touch with them.
| Such contact will be mutually beneficial
| and useful In every community. You have
no more important work and duty devolv-
| ing upon you as educated citizens than to
make wholesome public sentiment. The
| university OF today settles the future not
only of the student, but of the world.
The people were never more willing 10
pour out their treasure for the support OF
schools than they are today. The annual
expenditure Of the United States compared
with other countries shows how near they
are to the hearts of the American people.
The expenditure In Italy IL $1,000, 900. or 25
cents per capita: in Austria 81. 000.0OO, or
30 cents per capita: In Germany, $26, ,OOO, 900.

900. or so cents per capita; In Great Brit
ain, SiS,00o,0o0. or sl.39 per capita and in
| the United States, $l56. 900 600, or $40 per
| capita. Our census returns Of 1880 show
| that 81 per cent. OF our total popula tion
over 10 years OF age can read and write

| No college can make you great, no uni
versity can make you successful. These

| ience of mankind. depend upon yourself.

moving toward a cherished object. The

A POstponement, Not a Dodge.

The decision of the Republican Ma
tional league convention To refer the
whole matter of platform To the only
Republican organization authorized to
formulate party doctrine Is pre-emi-
nently wise and just. 1t not only
avoids the friction which would at this
premature time have followed any rad
ical declaration of party principle
touching disputed issues, hut II pre-
serves the league from the mistake OF
assuming TO perform function not its
to perform, and leaves nlo';Hd ques-
tlons Of party policy open for anicable
continued discussion.
It is to be expected that the Demo-
cratic press will proclaim this inevita-
ble action "a ''cowardly evasion OF
duty" but the masses Of the people,
accustomed to receive authoritative par
tisan announcements of position from
national nominating conventions only.

chatter. They are themselves largely

Ing. 1t makes absolutely no difference,

will have no option but to accept the
result as the fair issue of their own

Did Poe Write IT?
