seems right. Let It not be assumed
from this that the younger generation
Is unmindful either of its duty to the
saved and reunited Union or Of its debt
to that Unions heroic saviors. Far,
indeed, Is forgetfulness of these
things from the minds Of any consid-
erable number of the sons and daugh-
ters Of the Union soldiers of the Civil
War. II any proof were needed OF the
gratitude and OF the loyalty of this
younger element in our citizenship 1t
would be abundantly furnished by the
seemly part which that element took
only two days ago ut the gravesides
Of q million heroic dead.
But to the mind which looks ahead,
there Is visible no inconsistency be-
tween true patriotism and q forgiving
spirit. which, in this happy era of the
fulness of sectional concord and amity,
seeks rather to cement the future than
to exaggerate the divisions of the past.
In the twilight of the lives of the sur
viving participants of the war for the
Union, what can 1t profit to rekindle the
fires Of three decades ago. except they
be the camp fires of fraternal reunion,
the Blue with the Gray? The dead Of
both were once Americans and to
Americans have they bequeathed a
common memory of valor which rises
high above the unhappy errors that led
to the grim arbitrament of the battle
field,

App0rtion the State.

The Philadelphia Inquirer and other
journals friendly to Senator Quay
ought not to infer that because the fake
apportionment bills introduced at Har-
risburg for the sole purpose of being
knocked out were objectable to many
Republicans. including those OF Lacka-
wanna county, who resented the effort
OF certain discredited influences in this
region to get Susquehanna yoked up
with the present Eleventh congress
sional district, presumably in the hope
Of bolstering up an unpopular congress
man. the sentiment Of the party is not
favorable to fair and sincere reap
portionment. It Is, Of course, unfor-
tunate that this duty could not be per-
formed earlier in the decade; but We
know Of no statute of limitations which
takes precedence over the constitution
of Pennsylvania in matters Of this
kind.
The fact that Senator Quay is said to
be Of the opinion that an equitable ap-
portionment cannot now be made,
owing to the shifting Of population
since the last decennial census, does
not release the legislature from its con-
stitutional duty to make an earnest
attempt at securing an apportionment;
and If the senator's personal opinion in
this matter shall carry greater weight
with members sworn to obey the con-
stitution than their official oaths, then
the governor will be thoroughly justi-
fled in calling an extra session, upon
whose deliberations the public can gaze
free from all distracting side issues.
In this manner it can be seen whether
one mans opinion. however estimable
the man. can in a government like our
own, permanently exert greater in
fluence than the opinion Of 100000 citi-
zens, as expressed in the fundamental
charter Of their civic institutions.
We do not attempt to conceal the fact
that in this unexpected attitude of Sem
ator Quay we are both surprised and
grieved; surprised that so astute a poll
tician as he has repeatedly shown him
self to be should so unnecessarily and
without apparent provocation make the
mistake which he is making in his pres
ent fight against reapportionment, and
grieved at the advantage which this
mistake will almost certainly give to
his enemies, with whom we have no
interests In common. This Is a time
when the real friends Of the Beaver
senator-friends who are not friends
simply for what there is In 1t, but
friends who have become such in hon
est admiration of his superb abilities
as an organizer and director Of politi-
cal forces should perform the highest
function of friendship by counseling
against an impending misfortune, i'm
minent solely by reason Of his own mis-
take.
1t Is not yet too late for the legisla-
ture to put itself right in this matter.
1t is not yet too late for Senator Quay
to recover'himself by abjuring the false
counsel Of those who are deceiving him.
and trusting once more to the masses
OF party which il still loyal to him,
regardless Of his mistakes.

What signals?
Why, the weather flags on the court

No. My experience in Scranton con-

How does the proposed union of Susaue-

From the Detroit Free Press
A man was seen stdndlng In front OF the
tub OF Diogenes talking earnestly with
the philosopher. and very shortly went
away. A half hour dater friend met
Dlogenes some distance from his tub.
"Ah," he said, good morning. You
Seem to be going somewhere"
II am" responded the philosopher,
curtly.
But you haven't your lantern with
your"
mo. There's no use taking 1t along on
this trip"

1t would be interesting to know pre-
cisely what caused Senator Quay to
change over. after having announced
that he would take no part In the ap-
portionment fight. The chances are
that some lively political history Is be-
ing enacted these days.

The Independent Washington Star,
with excellent facilities for getting at
the drift of political opinion, is inclined
at this time to predict that the ultimate
outcome of the present silver agitation
will be the free coinage OF American
silver with a protective duty on foreign
silver. This comedies with our own
view Of the subject. At ratio Of. say,
20 to /, we are unable to see wherein
such an adjustment Of the problem
would be either hurtful to the great
mass of our people or unfair to the men
who own our silver mines. The ques-
tion is, Could business stand such an
increase In the currency? We think 1t
could.

very next tSeath they signally contra
dict themselves, for when they admit
the desirability of international bi-
metallism they give the case for gold
entirely away. II gold alone Is a suf-
flcient money base, then international
bimetallsm becomes international nom
sense; and the man who argues for 1t
on the same day that he extols the
superiority Of monometallic gold
standard writes himself down either as
a faulty loglcian or as demagogue.
There Is every reason to believe that
the Republican party in the next ma
tional campaign will, as in the last one.
pronounce with emphasis for interna-
tional bimetallism. We personally be-
lieve that under certain restrictions
the benefits promised under interna-
tional bimetallism could, II desired, be
secured to the people OF the United
States alone; but we are entirely WILL
ing to go into fight for the larger
issue II II Ia to be a genuine fight. Let
those who are for International bimet-
allism, however, quit holding up the
hands of those dishonest money men
who, under the false plea of "honest"
money. hope to rlvet gold monometall-
Ism upon the statute books at Wash
ington for all time to come. Let them
cease thus to contradict their own pre-
tensions; and the battle for honest
money, by which term we mean money
based on both gold and silver inter-
nationally sustained at a parity. need
not be long nor hard one to win.

A Reliable Snake Story.

We are a little late opening the
snake story season this year, but the
following will, we think, do pretty
well for q starter:
Edward, the four.year-old son Of B.
C. Nelkins, living near Fort Wayne,
Indiana, had very narrow escape
from death few days since. The lit
tie fellow had pet hen Of which he
was very fond, and recently this hen
stole a nest under the house and
hatched out brood Of young chicks.
It became Edward daily duty there
after to feed the old hen and her lit
tie family, and he found infinite de-
light in playing about with his chicks
under the house in the shade. The
other day after Edward had been some
time gone with the food for his chicks
his father heard him screaming. and
ran out to find that a coachwhip snake
had beaten the child almost within al
inch Of bis life. Nelkins lost no tim'
IN demolishing the reptile, but it wa
quite a while before Edward could b
/. restored.
