The West Is in the Saddle.

Says St. Louis correspondent: THE
ways such a dominant factor in the
conventions Of both parties, has dropped
out of sight is almost pitiful as it stands
as monument to one mans selfishness
and incompetency. Texas and Arkansas
and Indian territory occupy more atten-
tion in the minds of the public clustered
in the lobbies of the hotels than does
New York. Four years ago at Mime
apolis men asked one another what New
York wanted and what the New York
delegation would do. Today no one asks,
and no one cares Mr.. Platt can play
with the other children If he will be Il
good boy, or he can take his dishes and
go home 1t is all the same"
While the present occultation of P!att
Is largely the result of Platt's own fool
hardness. yet the dwarfing Of the En-
pire states political Importance is not
wholly Platt's handwork. The fact is
that 1t was inevitable no matter who
had charge of the New York organiZa-
tlon. The scepter of political empire is
passing westward. The seat of author
ity in future national conventions Of
the Republican party will be nearer
Illinois than New York and 1t will prob
ably never again occur, at least not
within the lifetime of men now living,
that delegation from single state
lying adjacent to the Atlantic coast will
be able to dominate the Republican
party by virtue of the plea that the
electoral vote of its state is indispens-
able to party success.
One of the consequences of this
growth of the west into political impor-
tance will be that the Influence Of Job
bers and traders at national conven-
tions will in future diminish. The sys-
tematic subjection of the mass to the
boss as it is known in the boss-ridden
east, especially in New York, where
Mr.. Platt has been accustomed to look
upon the Republican party as a kind of
personal property. has not yet become
feature of western politics, and is not
likely to for at least one generation to
come. The voters of the west are, in
the main, too rugged and virile, too
much accustomed to making their own
way In life, to submit with complacency
to the yoke of bossism as that yoke is
familiar to eastern people. We have
seen in this nomination canvass how
easily the western masses, when once
stirred to purpose, can brush aside
the apparatus of the professional poll
ticians and assert their own sovereign
ty. The rise of such an element to a
controlling position in national politics
means for some time at least a purer
and more wholesome state of things.
1t means that the voice of the people
will be more likely in the future than
in the past to command recognition in
the national nominating conventions.

Referring to the reported comments
of Mr.. Cleveland on Major McKinley's
candidacy, the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette interprets them as really COM
plimentary. "Were they not eQuiva-
len,," it asks, Ito saying that in Presi-
dent Cleveland's opinion Mckinley
would not be president who would
enter into any deals with a home or for
eign bond syndicate whereby millions
of dollars would be unnecessarily pre-
sented to few individuals. no matter
what the indirect returns might be IN
pointers on real estate, stocks or other
things, to say nothing about any direct
returns? Could they not he considered
tantamount to an expression of Presi-
dent Cleveland's belief that Major Nc

using government vessels for duck
hunting purposes? Was it not equiva-
lent to saying he did not believe Major
Mckinley to be man who would con-
tinue a quasi-legal connection with any
corporations during his term as presi-
dent. nor one who would he open to the
suspicion of being the recipient of cor
porate favors by making the attorney
generalship a place for talent notori-
ously representative of the corporations
and trusts, thereby making the anti
trust laws a dead letter." Were Mr.,
Cleveland a sensitive man, he would by
this time probably be sorry he spoke.

and territories have already given as
surance that they viii be represented
by suitable exhibits, the purpose being
to make a showing Of the resources
and progress of the great empire lyIrs
between the Father of Waters and the
Pacific coast. 1t is promised that the
exposition will surpass in magnitude
and interest that recently held at At
lanta, and If the western states shall
cordially cooperate to this end the
promise will certainly be fulfilled. There
is special element of value in this en-
terprise at this particular time when
between the west and the east there eX-
lists in reference to the coinage issue
considerable Misunderstanding If the
Omaha exhibition shall be anything
like a representative exposition of
western possibilities it will no doubt do
much to correct state of confused
opinion which obtains among many
easterners with reference to the kind OF
citizens who inhabit the newly-con-
uuered territory intended to be brought
within the exhibitors scope. For this
reason. if for no other, the undertaking
deserves to be encouraged.
There is also the additional reason
that all such eXpositi0ns are excellent
stimulants to honorable progress in the
development of our varied commerce
and equally excellent means of cement
ing intersectional friendships and pro-
noting that unity of civic purposes
which is necessary to the welfare Of this
diversified republic. We think we can
safely promise in Pennsylvania behalf
a practical manifestation of this COM
monwealths interest and sympathy.
1t seems to be the belief at st. Louis
that Hon. Garrett Hobart, of New Jer-
sey, is the destined winner for vice
president. Mr.. Hobart is an able ana a
| loyal Republican whose advancement
would occasion general qualification.
But before it is definitely assumed that
he will be McKinley's running mate it
might be well to keep an eye on the
Hastings boom.

AMERICA AHEAD.

". Z. Curtis in Chicago Record.
In a recent number of Currcat litera-
ture an English writer asserts that the
greatest corporation on earth is the Lon
don and Northwestern Railway COM
pany of England, with its capital of $780,
0OQ, Geo. a revenue of $500 an hour, ..,5Ol
engines and $1,000 employees and repairs
that cost $lSO,O30 a month" The North
western Railway company is no doubt a
gigantic corporation for a little country
like England ana worth Dragging about,
but we have got bigger one here in the
United States that might absorb 1t very
easily. The Pennsylvania railroad, for eX-
ample. has a capital of SS5.,0Ij,CW ard d.
$50 miles of track. which traverse thir-
teen states. 1t has 1856 locomotives,
which consume 10000 tons of coal a day
and make runs equal to the distance
around the globe every two hours. 1t has
1885, passenger cars. $4,000 freight cars. so
Pullman cars and 2il other cars for con-
struction and other purposes. making a
total of l5S,5A cars, which make jour
ncy equal to the circumference of the
earth in every eigh: minutes. These loco
motives and cars, If placed upon a single
track would reach from New York to Cal
caso o. ten times the distance between
Philadelphia and New York. The rails IF
the Pennsylvania railroad. If laid end TO
end, would encircle the globe and overlap
about 1000 miles. The total annual reve.
nue of the road is Sl35 900, 0o0--equal TO $3I2,-

as much as that OF the Northwestern Of

The Northwestern boasts of GO.000 en-

over 100000, who, with their families,
make w a total of about 100000 persons ,e-
pendent for their living upon the $60,G)1,
COO it distributes in wages every year. Last
year the Pennsylvania Railroad company
moved 1896, 2GG 31j tons of freight per mile
and carried 1,577,S9i $50 passengers. The
freight carried was equal to q ton around
the world every minute of the year. The
money invested in the property was equal

In length. In 1895 the Pennsylvania COM
pany owned per cent. of all the railway
mileage in the United States: l0lS per cent.
of all the locomotives ll1a per cent. OF al
the passenger cars; l2i& per cent of all the

Very nearly all the dark skinned men
who sell that brilliantly colored candy
from push cnrts are members of regu-

When the day has ended and their work

or more dens in Roosevelt and Cherry
streets just at the foot Of the fam Gus

sleeping to load up their carts for the
morrow, that they may get an early

One Of these rendezvous presents a

ment is filled up with carts laden with

q narrow passageway is left to get to
the back of tho room.-
Here. around a smudgy table, five or
six chattering Greeks arc playing cards
and quarreling over the game. : On the
boards is spread quantity of candy,
newly made and cooling, for it is in
room back of this that the stuff is pre-

profit selling to the peddlers, but he
gets still more Of their money, lodging
them on the same floor as their push
carts. Sometimes when a peddler is

out with load of candy to sell on
shares, but rs a general thing he gets
cash for his product before the carts go
out.
Beds are. for the most part, unknown

dlers seem to be able to afford them.

THE CODE OF HONOR.
Dueling az It Was In Franco In the Time
of Richelleu.

Dueling al It Was In Franco In the Time
of Riohelieu.
The passion for dueling, which had
cost France, it was said, between 1000
and 5000 lives during the 90 years of
Henry Tvs reign, was Mt its height
when his son Came to tho throne. The
/ council of Trent in 1916 had solemnly
condemned the practice Of single COM
bat, impartially including principals,
seconds and spectators in its penalty of
accommodation. In 1909 an edict Of
Henry pronounced the "damnablo Gus
tom Of dueling introduced by the cor
ruption of the century" to be the cause
of so many piteous accidents, to the cx-
trcme regret and displeasure of the king
and to tho irreparablo damage of tho
state, "that we should count ourselves
unworthy to hold the sceper if we de-
layed to repress tho enormity Of this
crime
A whole series of edicts followed to
the Same effect, but it was easier to
make edicts than to enforce them. Deg
radiation, Imprisonment, confiscation of
property, less Of civil rights and death
wero the penalties attached to the in
fringement of the laws against dueling,
and still tho practice prevailed In 1926
Richelieu published milder form of
prohibition. The first offense was no
longer capital, third only of the Of
lenders property was to be conGscated,
and the judges were permitted to recog-
niZo extenuating circumstances.
A few months later the Comte de
Bouteville thought fit to test the minis
ters patience i'll this direction. The
Place Royaie had long been favorite
dueling ground, and Do Boutevil!e
Travelled from Brussels to fight his TWEEN
ty-second duel here, i'll the heart of
Paris, i'll deliberate defiance of the kings
authority. The result was not encourag-
ing. Montmorency though he was, the
count went with his second to tho scat
fold, and the marked decrease from that
time i'll the number Of duels may DO at
tributed either to the moderation used
i'll framing the law or to the memorable
resolution with which it was enforced.
