uPENRosE WILL WIN"
The Deliberate Judgment Of s,aunch
Republican Paper.


The Sunday Dispatch. OF Philadelphia,
one Of the staunchest Republican papers
in PENNSYLVANIA, comes out in a leading
editorial in it's last issue headed "PenrOse
VIII Win" II is as follows:
"The announcement Of Senator Quay
that Senator Boics Penrose will have $50
votes in the legislature for United States
senator appears to have acted upon the
Business Mems League like a red flag
upon bull. They arex,orking their CAM
paign upon "a system OF bluff, in the hopes
that il will have its effect upon tho mcin-
bers who are on the fence ready TO jump
on the winning side. Fortunately such
characters are few, and Penrose has
enough votes to win without them, for
he not only has the good will of the MEM
bers of the senate and house, but ne Is
supported by their constituents, who are
urging their representatives 10 be true to
the Penrose cause The voters of Penn
sylvania well understand that the object
of the Business Mems League is TO create
"a boom for John Wanamaker-a sort OF
bargain counter political trick-for when
the legislature settles the question the
league will go out Of existence. The men
who are managing this political machine
are adopting all the questionable po-
litical schemes 70 catch popular sup
port ever applied in tho days of po-
htical rings in Philadelphia All kinds
of arguments and influences are used
to secure signatures of business men
throughout the state, many OF them be-
ing completely in the dark as to the pur-
pose which their signitures are TO serve
These names will appear rs indorsers OF
John Wanamaker's candidacy just pre-
yious to the meeting of the legislature,
with object of influencing the votes OF the
members In every county In the state
circulars are spread broadcast giving the
people the impression that the people OF
Philadelphia are overwhelmingly for
Wanamaker Yet, Notwithstanding, meet
ings in favor OF Senator Penrose have
filed the Academy of Music and other
large halls of the city, the friends of Wanna
maker have not held a single meeting
that has been open TO the people-fearing
To do so, for they know that they will
suffer in comparison. No man in the
state has the same means to secure the
drift of public sentiment as Senator Quay,
and ne never has given out figures upon
any public affair that has not been con-
seryHtiye, Consequently, when he declares
that Senator Penrose will have 80 votes,
it is safe % say that his election Is at
lo..st GssHrctl.'

ALapdable Decision.

All credit is due Judge Pryor of New
York, for his recent jast and patriotic de
cision in refusing TO grant charter 90
enable Hungarians of Harlem to join a
society for the establishment and perpet-
uatiOn OF their home customs, speeches
and ways. The Judge held that the COM
ing to this country was in itself evidence
that the old country had ceased to be
home for the petitioners, hence if this
were 10 be their home, it was essential
that they should study the ways and
learn the customs or the American peo-
pie. Only by mingling with them could
they ever hope to learn our tongue, thus
qualifying them to become citizens and
emitting them TO the privileges of our
laws.
That's it i'm nutshell, but the jurists
who hold similar views on such matters
are the exception, not the rule. May
their number increase.

THE Senatorial fight will be on in
earnest AZ Harrisburg before tlie close
of the present week The PenrOse and
Wanamaker people have both opened
headquarters and will keep them open
until the caucus nomination has been
made. Both sides are confidently claim

bat the claims of the Wanainaker ad-
herents appear TO be based on wind,
while the other fellows have the pledge
of votes on which to rest their claims.
The fight may prove an interesting one,

crashed through trestle to a river 10

were lost, and a more complete search Of
the charred train may reveal more. It is

The Ctty,m shut It or.

During the downpour night before last

ket. The rain, as everybody knows, was
incessant, and every low place was sub

of Gwinnett street there is a row of
small horses. The colored occupant Of

wondering what he would do to keep 1t
out of the house If it kept on rising.
A descendant of the Emerald Isle was

seemed to be chock full of fun, which the
rain could not cool Calling to the darkey
he said "Old man, have yer much water
