on into the gloomy passage. Presently
the walls began to widen like II letter

placid lake on the bosom Of which
the moon was shining. On all sides the
towering walls lcse for hundreds Of
feet. Spcechless with wonder and with
quickly beating hearts, they stumbled
forward over the uneven road till they
reached the shore Of the lake. The wa

Look at that" exclaimed Thorn
dyke, pointing down into the depths.
"What can that te?"
Johnston followed Thorndyke's finger
with his eyes. AT first he Thought that
it was comet moving ncrcss the sky

Instructive Warnings.

When Major Mckinley becomes pres
ident of the United States he Will grant
official recognition to the regular gov
ernment of foreign countries, even
though in some of them revolutions or
attempted revolutions are in progress
He will properly hold that it is no part
of his official function to sit as judge
upon the merits of a civil dissenslon III
q friendly foreign nation. In other
words, he will concede to the citizens or
that nation competency to regulate
their own affairs, but he will not with
draw American representation from
such a government because there is
minority in arms.
1t occurs to us that the relationship
of the president-elect to the various
Republican state organizations may
with proprlety be adjusted along SIM
liar lines. AS he is eX-ofiicio the head
of his party, 1t will obviously be judi
cious for him to treat with those who
are the recognized and established
leaders of that party in the several
states, anu WHERE tHSlc are iiiih'i i'i~S
in revolt he will be wise to withhold
recognition until by a decisive victory
they establish that they represent the
popular will. Any other course, 1t seems
to us, would put a discount on party
regularity and offer a deliberate invi-
tation to party factionalism and dis
integration.
Every party leader who has the gift
of command sufficient to elevate his
personality and assert his authority
above the common level must expect
assault, revilement and detractlon
That is the price he is compelled to pay
for political success. The question fol
a president under our form of party
government to consider in deter
mining his course with reference
to appointments is whether it /!
for the best interest of the country
to encourage or discourage successful
party leadership, to reward or punist
efficient generalship of party forces t
conserve or dissipate a political dis
cipline. Mr.. Cleveland as presiden
chose the latter policy, and we SCI
where it landed him. So, in SOM
measure, did General Garfield Thei

all classes of society and has not found
from any quarter insurmountable OBJ
lection to It. There are minor details
that would require adjustment in the
light of experience, as, for instance
whether it would be desirable for con-
gress to issue a fixed per capita guam
tity of these bonds, subject to revision
after each national census; but Mr..
Walker is confident that the central
principle is sound and that it can be
developed in application so as to do
away with much of the present liability
to periodical money famines arising
wholly from fear. We must confess
that from a theoretical standpoint the
plan has allurements. What have the
practical financiers TO say?

JuSf a Word or Two
Of CdSudI Mention

The subject of this sketch, Robert
Jones, of the West Side, was the peer Of
the best musical conductors of his day
He is an old-time rival of the late Robert
j. James and is the winner of as many
eisteddfodical trophies as the most sue
cessful competitor in the country. Twen-
ty-tive years ago he stood at the head Of
his profession and was victor in all the
splendid musical struggles of former
years 1t is q well-known fact that the
great musical festival of 1875 held under
the auspices of the free library of the
West Side was pre-eminently the grand
est ever held in northeastern Pennsylvd-
mia. Mr.. Jones figured prominently in the
various contests, and his superb chorus
of $50 voices captured one of the princ-
pal trophies of the great event. Owing
to an unfortunate mistake by the altos.

AS IT OFTEN HAPPENS.

We'd often warned her not to light the
fire with kerosene,
And emphasized the warning, since the
girl seemed rather green.
This morning, while my wife and l en-
joyed cur breakfast nap
That poor girl tried the coal oil trick
without the least m!shaD.
A darky preacher bought mule when
balked and wouldn't go,
And how to start the animal he really
didn't know.
"Why don't you twist the critters tail?''
laughed Reuben, from the farm.
The pastor instantly compiled and"
sit worked just like a charm.
He took a rusty musket down and thought
1t wasn't loaded;
He pulled the hammer back and found
the works We're quite corroded;
He then blew down the muzzle, hard, 10
see if aught was in it
*There wasnt-so he loaded it in less
than half a minute.

ONE EXCEP TION.

From the Sun.
In a paper read several years ago be-
fore the Social Science association, John
c. Bullitt author of the present system
of government in Philadelphia, said:
II care not how bold, how reckless, how
defiant man may be, let him be placed
in the chief executive office of a govern
ment, where public sentiment can be
concentrated upon him, and he can be
held up to the censure and scorn OF MS
fellow citizens if he departs from the path
of rectitude, and he will quail under It's
rebuke. No man who has ever attained
to high office in this country has mad the
hardwood to brave it," It ought to be
observed here, in justice to the Hon.
John C. Bullitt. scientist in civil service
reform, that he made that declaration be-
fore Mr.. Cleveland became president.

The curious fact appears in the re-
port of the secretary of internal affairs
that there are in Pennsylvania over
200 paper" street railways, with a
nominal value of $1,000, 900, but repre-
senting an actual cash expenditure of
only $2,25O,OOO. Many of these roads
comprise speculative schemes similar
to that worked by the organizers Of the
Valley Passenger company, while 9TH
ers are the anchors east to windward
by established traction companies that
wish to forestall possible competition.

of these projects fakes aimed at the

BETTER TINES AT HAND.

From the Brooklyn Standardization
There is reason to believe that better
times are at hand, and this ia not merely
the growth of public opinion that me
worst is over-it is not the effusion OF a
political sentiment or the eXultatlon or
partisans over a victory decisive as 10

from winning the main prize, which, how
ever, in all other respects, was easily
within their reach. How well do musi-
clans remember the intense enthusiasm
of the great Zerhann over that brilliant
contest! Mr.. Jones seldom met foeman
worthy of his steel in solo competitions.
He possessed a wonderfully rich baritone
voice of phenomenal compass. His Penn
sylvana male voice party was the mu5i-
cal pride of the city in those years and
easily vanquished all competitors. He
laid to rest many years ago the baton Of
many conquests. His pride in his old
days is TO watch the successful strides
his distinguished son-Reeve Jones-is
making in the field of music, and Well
may the son be proud of the well-ground-
ed lessons he received in earlier years
from 50 thorough a master.

Section POOL of the Revised Statutes
reads: "All naturalized citizens of the
United States, while in foreign coun-
tries, are entitled to and shall receive
from this government the same pro-
lection of person and property which
is accorded to native born citizens.
Whenever 1t Is made known to the
president that any citizen of the United
States has been unjustly deprived of
his liberty by or under the authority
of any foreign government, it shall be
the duty of the president forthwith to
demand of that government the rea-

of the rights of American citizenship,
the president shall demand the release
of such citizen, and IL the release so
demanded is unreasonably delayed or
refused, the president shall use such
means, not amounting to acts of war,
