In the Interest of Harmony.

A new turn has been taken by the
shrievalty fight in Philadelphia through
the appearance of an open letter ad-
dressed to both candidates. Messrs.
Miles and Grow, urging them in the in
terest of party harmony and especially
in the interest of the Republican ma
tional ticket which must inevitably
suffer if the present factional warfare
shall be continued until election day.

being those of Samuel r. Rhipley, John

aweary of the incessant scrapplng of
the factions.
Undoubtedly the Crow forces will
herald this letter as symptom of Com
bine fright and will scorn to'pay atten-
tion to it's moderate and conservative
advice. Mr. Grow himself is quoted in
the papers as saying that he does not
feel at liberty to respond to q request
for his retirement from the race with
out first receiving the consent Of the
10000 citizens who in public mass
meeting urged him to run. This Is an
euphoniOus way of saying that he con-
s,ders himself invincible and that he
does not propose to let the interests of
the party take precedence over his per-
s0nal desire to be sheriff of Philadel-
phia. But can his candidacy bear up
under such n construction of its ami
mating motive? Is Mr.. Crows personal
ambition of sufficient Importance to the
Republicans of Philadelphia to warrant
them in jeoparding the interests Of the
national ticket in order to crafty his
hanlering after ''scrap?"

Plotting to Capture Congress.

It Is believed by those who have been
in close watch upon the managers of
Mr.. Bryan's canvass that the real rea-
son why the Popocratic candidate has
been permitted to make repeated invas-
ions of the ''enemys country" where
even he must know that he stands no
chance of gaining an electoral vote is
because Of desire to divert Republican
attention while the free silvertes try
on the quiet to capture the next con-
gress. Their plan from the first has
been to sacrifice Bryan IL thereby they
could get fresh grip on the legislative
branch of the general government
They argue that with majority in con-
gress favorable to free coinage McKin-
ley's election would still leave the silver
cause In a position to dictate terms.
They no longer expect to force an un-
they believe that appropriations and
combinations could be so held up if nec-
essary that President Mckinley would
be glad to purchase peace by asserting
to limited coinage of silver, perhaps
on the lines of the Sherman act of 1890.
The talk Of an empty treasury which
is so conspicuous at Democratic head
quarters Is true only in q sense
The Popocratic treasury is empty
in response to miscellaneous de-
mands from states that under no
possibility could be carried for Bryan
But there is reason to believe that there
are funds in abundance to aid still

secure the election of solid congress-

to sustain the integrity Of the currency.
The only thing which can defeat this
consummation Is the spread of a feel
ing between now and Nov. 3 that the
battle for Mckinley is already as good
as won. and that further activity to-
ward his election and toward the elec-
ton of Republican congressman would
be superfluous. Such a feeling would
hold out to the silver trust just the
opportunity that it's managers and
secret agents have been looking for.

In the Fourth Legislative District.

Very much the same considerations
prevail in Carbondale with reference to
next state legislature as obtain in the
the election of a representative In the
Second district which includes con-
siderable portion of the city of Scran-
ton. Carbondale has q miners hospi-
tai which requires state aid; and it also
has other interests that necessitate
constant watchfulness on the part Of
the member from the Fourth.
Does it look reasonable that a Demo-
crat could at Harrisburg exert the
same influence in committee room. on
the floor of the house, in caucus where
legislative policies are considered. or
among the various departments that
would be welded by bright young
Republican like Mr.. Reynolds. in touch
with the majority and politically well
fitted to utilize the resources of diplo-
macy in behalf of measures particu-
larly affecting his constituents? We
do not have the pleasure of an ac-
Quaintance with Mr.. Reynolds oppo-
nent, but we venture to say that even
Mr. Fadden would be forced, after a
visit 20 Harrisburg during legislative
session. to concede the disadvantages
In the way Of a new member belonging
to the minority party. 1t is simply i'm
possible for Democrat to do as cffec-
tive service during his first term in
the Legislature as can be done by Re-
publican of equal ability; and the dis
trict which thinks otherwise makes a
mistake.
The people of the Fourth district two
years ago tried the experiment Of elect
ing bright young Republican instead
Of a Democrat, and it worked admir-
ably. Circumstances of business ma
ture having prevented Representative
O'Malley from accepting re-nOmina
ton, there has been nominated in his
stead a young man in all respects his
equal and we ask the voters of the
district. without regard to party afiil-
iations. to consider whether 1t would
pay them to run the risk (Which the
election Of Mr.. Fadden would involve)
OF having their representative take
what politically might be called "a
back seat" at Harrisburg next winter

At what Age Is Man strongestq

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages of
development and decline; our physical
strength increases up to a certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the strength
of several thousands of people have been
made by means of a dynamometer
strength measurer) and the following
are given as the average figures for the
white race:
The ''lifting power" of youth of II
years is $50 pounds; in his twentieth
year this increases to $50 pounds, and
in the thirtieth and thirty-first years it
reaches its height, $50 pounds At the
end of the thirty-frst year the strength
begins to decline, very slowly at first.
By the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate until
the fiftieth year is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t is not pos
sible TO give statistics of the decline of
strength after the fiftieth year, as it va
ries to a large extent in different indi-
vidualS. Strand Magazine.

London,s Public Houses.

The public houses explain a great
many of the miSeries of the miserable To-
cality. There may be some teetotalers,
but there are not many, and there are
almost as few drinkers who are always
moderate in their lbations. The curse
of bitter beer, raw Scotch whisky and
'tuppenny" gin rests heavy on the
place. Public opinion is no weapon
against it, for public opinion openly ia
vors drinking whenever one has the nee
essary money and does not regard actual
drunkenness as a disgrace worth men
tiOning.
Women drink at the bars as uncon-
cernedly as men do, and barmaids serve
them. The barroom is the gossip place,
and babes and small children are carried
to it and kept in it by careful mothers,
who gather there for the days necessary
talk. Infants sometimes cry and at such
times are permitted a sip from the ma
ternal glass, quite as other children are
bribed with chocolate drops. Thus blear
eyes and drink redeemed faces often have
early beginnings The children on tie
streets are dirty, ragged and vociferous-
ly happy over small things. Adults are
not genuinely happy. There is no reason
why they should be. They derive much
spaSmOdic merriment from the public
houses. Drunkenness and fighting are
common everywhere, especially on the
streets. During one noon recess saw
three fights develop among the two dozen
employees of box factory. Nor are the
combatants always men or boys. Cen
