Evans. Of Louisville, an equally prominent
Republican, is reported to have relented.
The story goes that in the Chicago con-
vention of 1850 both were present as men,
bers of the 1906" Mr.. Bradley was then
ambitious to be known as an orator and
he made several speeches. Ono morning
n newspaper article appeared, the nub OF
which was: 1.-THE difference between
Bradley, Of Kentucky, and Foraker, OF
Ohio. Is marked. The latter thinks on his
feet and the former with his feet" Brad
ley believed Evans wrote that article and
the two men have not spoken as they
passed. Now Bradley knows Evans did
not write 1t and peace again reigns in the
blue grass region.
Can the party managers get the rank
and-file to work itself into another parox-
ysm Of enthusiasm next year over sub
ject as stale as the tariff? This Is the
question many people are asking these
days. The majority of Republicans think
too well of a protective tariff to have 1t
constantly in campaign jeopardy.
The Philadelphia Record Is doing its
level best to keep up the spirits OF the
Pennsylvania Democracy by profuse abuse
of the Republican majority. The Record
has not had wink of peaceful sleep since
the legislature passed the new superior
court bill.
Henry Watterson says IL the Kentucky
Democratic convention shall declare for

voters will be driven into the Republican
party, which Will then carry the state.

A Triumph of Song.

The supremacy Of Welsh chorus
singers over choirs made up of repre-
sentatives of several nationalities has
seldom been more vividly illustrated
than in the Concordia eisteddfod at
Wilkes-Barre. To at least two of the
adjudicators. the result of that friendly
contest of song was a genuine revela-
tion. We refer to Messrs. Henderson
and Krehbiel, both Of whom, in private
conversation, expressed their unquali-
fed admiration of the magnificent en-
semble of the Scranton choir as, un-
der John T. Watkins skilled baton,
and in response to his magnetic drec-
tion, that choir brought out the full
significance of the beautiful selection,
"Siori, Buy" from DR.. MacKenZie's
opera, "Colomba," which formed the
second number of the chief competi-
tion at WilkesLBarre.
Accustomed as these eminent critics
have been to operate part singing,
with Its stress of emphasis upon indi-
vidual capacity and popularity, the
opportunity to hear a choir of 200
voices sing with the accuracy of q
single voice a selection so rich in it's
depth and variety of expression as was
this gem by DR.. Mackenzie, and yet in
volume and balance of parts equal the
effects of the finest orchestra, was new
to them, and If admiring comment,
made with no thought Of its reproduc-
tion in print, be any indication, these
two gentlemen will not soon recover
from their agreeable surprise. No
longer, We fancy, will they share the
common metropolitan error of regard
ing with something like derision the
musical pretensions Of the anthracite
regions. They know now that though
we lack in operatic culture, there are
compensations in the peerless power
and subllmity of the choir accomplish
ments Of our unassuming miners.
In this connection a word of praise
is fairly due to DR.. Mason, not only
for the uniform tact, kindness and
courtesy which have characterized his
portion Of the arrangements for the re-
cent festival-these traits were to be
expected-but also for his success in
procuring DR.. MacKenzie's permission
for the use, as one of the test pieces,
Of the magnificent portion of his yet
unproduced new opera 1t would be
difficult to place an exaggerated esti-
mate upon the pleasure which the rem
dering Of this selection afforded
Wednesdays auditors. 1t was a treat
Of a lifetime, equally rejecting honor
upon composer, choir and director.

The Disease of Jealousy

An ingenious theory is propounded
by Dr. Maurice de Fleury, a French
physician of some eminence. He bold
ly aserts that the conjugal failing
known as jealousy is nothing more nor
less than physical disease, dependent
on physical conditions, and amenable
to physical methods of treatment.
DR.. de Fleury assures us that the jeal-
Gus man has always a brain that Is
insufIiciently nourished-he is in the
early stages of that common form of
insanity in which q man is subject to
the hallucination of being followed by
enemies; he is morbidly suspicious to
the last degree. He may be suffering
from incipient brain disease, but very
likely his malady Is the result of tenn
porary conditions; he Is overtired, he
has been weakened by a long illness,
or he has been on an exhaustng spree.
The peculiar weakness that the grip
leaves behind 1t is responsible for more
Jealousy, so says this French author
ity, than any amount Of really justifi-
able suspicion.
The manner in which our French
savant would endeavor to effect a cure
OF this undesirable hallucination is
plausible, to say the least. He would
simply feed the victim well. The theory
underlying this treatment is simple.
Take man who is unreasonably jeal-
Gus and irritable early in the morn
ing and give him a good breakfast or
a cup of coffee, and ten to one he will
sit down and talk the matter over
sensibly with you. According to DR..
de Fleury, all Jealous persons have
sensible intervals, the malady being in
some degree a periodic one, just like
chills and fever. In short, DR.. de
Fleury's treatment includes every
thing that can be done to give strength
and confidence to the Jealous wretch,
to inspire him with a sense of his own
power-to make a man of him. If
stimulants and tonics are necessary to
this restoration, stimulants and tonics
will be given. If the aid of mental
suggestion is deemed desirable, expert
hypnotizers will be called in. What
ever, in short, will tend to put the poor
fellow on the pathway to restored rea-
son will be employed without reference
to precedent or tradition.
OF course all this is only material
istic ages way of adapting old beliefs
to new conditions. Instead of love
philters brewed in the light of the
moon, or charms invested with magic
power by the weird incantations of
some uncanny Sibyl, we Of this more
practical age must needs have beef
steak, pills and powders. But the revo-
lution in methods is worthy of notice,
especially If it shall succeed in banish-
ing domestic discord and undoing the
occupation of the divorce lawyer, the
pistol maker and the undertaken.

Nonsense from Boston.

! The mistakes Of blundering reformers
probably precipitate more grief in the
camps of the judicious than do all the
Vaccinations Of the avowed forces Of
evil. This reflection Is forced upon us
by the perusal of series of absurd
resolutions recently adopted, no doubt
with the best of intentions, by the
Boston Woman's Rescue league, set
ting forth the immoral tendencies Of
woman's growing liking for the wheel
The league condemns bicycle riding by
young girls and women for these rea-
sons: Thirty per cent of the "fast
girls" that have come to the rescue
league for aid were bicycle riders at
one time. It is resolved that since the
closing Of the dlsreputable houses in
Boston the inmates thereof are taking
to bicycle riding, because they can bet
ter ply their vocations on account of the
opportunities given as cyclists. An
appeal Is made to the prominent clergy
of tho United States for the suppression
of bicycle riding by young girls because
Of its tendency to encourage immor-
atty.
1t will be remembered that when the
practice of horseback riding first be-
came popular among the women Of this
country there was a similar outcry
from honest mothers and elderly maid
ems who, at the time, were sincere in
the belief that the young woman who
occupied saddle was preparing for
ride straight to His sulphuric
Majesty. the Prince of Evil. Euues-
trianism fiourished notwithstanding
this belief; and today many who fell
into the foregoing delusion are prone
to admit that the kind Of morality in

Gentlemen-We are today in receipt of a
copy of the Scranton Tribune, with edito-
rial marked, in relation to the rate on risks
in the United States as compared with the
rates in other countries. There is no
doubt but that the American nation pay u
large amount for insurance, but careless
ness resulting in the destruction of prop
erty by fire compels companies to ask
for rates in proportion. l think this cdito-

fire department and fire limits. hope it
may be so. Thanking you far drawing
our attention to the matter, we remain,
