Occasion for Pause.

There Is one feature in connection
with the senatorial canvass which,
long after that contest shall have been
decided, will cause the judicious tn
grieve. We refer to the apparent avid
ity with which many honest and sin
cere persons. including. alas, some min
listers of the Christian religion. ac-
cept and act upon the anonymous
charges that have been spread broad
cast against the private character of
one of the candidates for Senator Cam
eron's position.
These charges, as soon as they could
be fastened upon any responsible cir
culatOr, have been explicitly and en-
phatically denied, under oath. by the
gentleman at whom they We're aimed.
and two men, purporting to be minis
ters. have at his instance been bound
to court on an Indictment for criminal
libel. Yet still the assassination of
character goes on: the poison has been
so eXpertly placed along the channels
Of irresponsible dissemination that 1t
would take a detective force larger
'ii'h ihV poPuiotioh VI ''e'''e~
to hold it in check. Senator Penrose,
the victim of this work. comes of one
of the first families in Philadelphia.
has been for fourteen years the repre-
sentative at Harrisburg of one of the
most discriminating and cultured con-
stituencies in the commonwealth; has
repeatedly received its indorscm mt at
the polls; has been honored by his fell
low senators with their unanimous vote
for president pro tempore of the ssn-
ate. and stands among those who know
him we'll as the peer in ability Of any
Of the younger public men in the Key
stone state. Yet twice have the scoun-
drels who work under cover set going
among professed believers in Chris
tian justice reports which none of them
dared father in the open, and on these
lying, skulking charges, fought by him
and by his friends to the fullest extent
of their ability. he was once slaught-
cred for mayor of Philadelphia and is
now marked for sacrifice in another
ambition. If such a result can again be
achieved by repetition Of the same con-
temptible methods.
The present struggle will soon draw
to a close, and in the course of time
pass from public memory. 1t may re-
suit with the towards and character
assassns triumphant, and with their
unctuously pious candidate confirmed
in his bid for hOnors thus ignobly won
although we doubt it. But whatever
the immediate outcome, there is one
consequence that may reach much fur
ther and it will be realized If those
who stand for religion and morals lend
their aid and become the misguided ac-
completes of others who. under the
shelter of anonymity and by methods
which dare not face the open daylight.
strike down with falsehood and scan
dal an opponent whom they cannot
conquer in manly battle. The immedi-
ate victim may be Penrose, but the ul-
innate loser will be Christian decency
and fairness. and in such an issue we
had far rather go down in defeat with
Penrose than to win by the Shiny tao
tics Of the opposition.

This afternoon at 4 o'clock the senate
will vote upon the Lodge bill to restrict
immigration by denying admission to
foreigners who cannot read at least
one language. There is no need to re-
hash the arguments on this subject:
1t Is enough to say that the country ex-
poets this bill, or u better one. to pass.

The Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate of Chicago has made inquiries of
officials of nineteen representative
railroads as to their rules concern
ing the use of intOxicants by employees.
and 1t finds that in every instance the
habitual or even occasional drinker is
held subject to discount or discharge.
That is prohibition in a practical form.

death were difficult of ascertaimant.
1t was deemed necessary In those days
that the causes of a mysterious or ac-
cidental death should be promptly in
quired into and duly recorded for use
in subsequent criminal proceedings in
case there might be evidence Of foul
play or culpable responsibility for the
accident on the part of some one. The
desirability of such post-mortem in
quiry Is just as strong today as 1t was
then, but the changed conditions of our
modern life have removed the necessity
for a public functionary and a jury
for that purpose"
The district attorney could, in per-
son or through agents, do all that needs
to be done in such an emergency, with
greater celebrity and thoroughness. and
with much greater economy. A finding
by the district attorney would have
weight with the courts not now exert
ed by the verdict of coroner's Jur!
and it would enable him, in case ot
crime to follow the thread of evidence
from us very DtSuiiiiHS ~ 'hS ''
ment of its final presentation in court.
In other words. the Michigan PROPOSE
ton is instinct with first-class COM
mon sense.
At one moment we are told that Penn
sylvania will under no circumstances
be represented in the Mckinley cabinet,
inf nod
the highest unofficial authority, that
j. Hay Brown, of Lancaster is to be the
next attorney general. Whatever the
truth, Mr.. Browns appointment would
be in every respect fit and praise
worthy one. AS the head of the federal
department of justice Mr.. Brown would
be one of the most efficient and industri-
Gus cabinet officials the country. has
ever seen.

in the event of Brother Kohlsaat per-
sisting in his refusal to accept office
from Mckinley. we dare say the quota
can be filled in other quarters.

In the county of Philadelphia there
are IS members of the state house of
representatives and 8 state senators
i6 in all. OF these 20 representatives
and I senators have declared for Pen
rose. Only . of the remaining ~ have
pledged themselves to Wanamaker.
This simple statement of fact would
seem to answer the question, Which
Of the two senatorial candidates is
Philadelphia choice?

1t Is reported that Governor Morton,
of New York. has suggested 10 Presi-
dent Cleveland the advisability of in
viting President elect Mckinley to a
conference on the Cuban problem. We
don't know whether this Is true or not,
but the idea in any event is an appro-
pirate one. There is no reason why it
should not be acted upon.

adays familiar; but it Is fair to the
Globe Democrat to add that 1t has one
unique characteristlc-it is the most
truly national newspaper in the coun-
try. Its telegraphic and special news
service covers every section with un-

its area of distribution comprises a
third of the United States. Eaitur,amy

ressive: in other words. it Is one of our
greatest institutions.

l have not heard that Spain controverts
any statement of the president in his
message. The evidence that comes
from private sources relative to the
condition of Cuba, and the horrors of
persecution, rapine and determination
visited upon the people of Cuba, admits
of no doubt as to its credibility. Yet
it presents pictures so incredibly in
human and SO disgraceful to the civil

mind into disbelief that such things
can be true.
