Corruption in the State Senate.

Rumors of corrupt use of money in
influencing insurance legislation a,
Harrisburg are an addition to the dis.
credit which has generally attached to
the reputation of our State Legisla.
ture. The character of that law making
body was already so badly damaged
that 1t appeared superfluous for it is
Drought still lower in the public esti-
nation by the report that money to
the amount OF $4,000 had its influ-
ence in affecting the action of certain
State Senators on bill relating to in.
surance business.
This is very serious charge. 1t
impresses the public mind with the
suspicion that in addition to the other
faults in the conduct of our State
Legislators, their action is open to
the corrupt influence Of money. It is
such an impeachment of their legisla-
tive integrity as to destroy all public
confidence in their representative
character.
Inc charge OF this corruption has
been openly made IN the Senate, and
should have been attended with i'm
mediate action to purge the reputa
ton OF that body, but nothing has
been done in the matter that would
indicate that the reputation of the
State Senate is worth indicating.
Senator Goblin, who objects to such
a sacrifice of senatorial reputation,
has demanded an investigation that
would get at the facts of the reported
use among Senators of money to the
amount of $4,000 to influence legis-
lation, but an investigation instituted
IN our State Legislature is SO sugges.
tive of whitewash that the exculpatlon
OF the accused by that process would |

An Important Test of Quality.

The quality Of a newspaper, like
that of an individual, is best deter
mined by its bearing under circum-
stances that try its capacity. The
gathering of the news of the Greco-
Turkish war is case in point. As soon
as 1t became reasonably certain that
there would be fighting "The Phila-
delphia Press" sent staff correspond
ents to the capitals of the countries
involved. In consequence "The
Press has had every day prompt,
complete and accurate information of
every move on each side of the con-
filct. No other Philadelphia paper
has had this service and only a few
other papers in the country have gone
to the same trouble and expense. 1t
IS gratifying to note this new evidence
that "The Philadelphia Press" neg
lects no opportunity to strengthen its
position as Pennsylvania's greatest
newspaper

HOUSE WHERE LINCOLN WROTE.
Historic Old Mansion at Gettysburg Sold by
an Estate.

The historic old Gettysburg house
In which Abraham Lincoln wrote his
renowned address, delivered at the
dedication of the Gettysburg National
Cemetery on November 70, 1863, has
just been sold by the David Wills es-
tate for $Io,5oo. 1t was here that
the martyr President wrote
We cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it
far above our poor power to add or
de'ract. The world will little note
nor long remember what we saw
here, but it never can forget what
they did here. 1t is for us the living.
rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly
carried on. We have highly resolved
that these dead shall not have died in
vain; that this nation, under God,
shall have new birth OF freedom
and that the government of the peo-
pie, by the people, and tor the peo-
pie, shall not perish from the earth"

A Good Example.

Judge Brubaker, of Lancaster, has
become famous for stirring up things
in his court, and usually these stir.
rings have been beneficial. His latest
activity Of this kind was directed
against constables who come into
court term after term and report no
violation of liquor laws in their dis.
trlcts. The court startled them, Mon
day, by informing them that he had
information of the existence of such
places and gave them until Saturday
to find the places or be themselves
indicted.
This is good example that might
be followed elsewhere. Lancaster, in
this instance, and Philadelphia give
examples of judges who do more than
hold down benches, and who conse-
quently discover abuses and set about
correcting these. In what city or
county are there no speak easies, no
selling of liquor to minors and habi-
tual drunkards In what city or
county are there no gambling houses
and dlsorderly houses :? In what city
or county is there a policeman or
constable who does not know of these
places and of these violations of the
law ?
Policemen and constables report
no violations of liquor law, but they
are well aware Of these no gambling
places though they have talked about
them and directed strangers to crook
ed games no disorderly houses
though they know the situation of |
every last one of these when a mis-
sing girl is to be hunted up. Most of |
The reports to the court are untrue
and Judge Brubaker's plan of correct |
ng them could be followed with great |
satisfaction to law loving people
'verywhere.-Paty1ot. ]

Malarial Parasites.

The tsetse fly disease of Africa has
recently been shown by the researches
of Bruce to be due to a flagellate in.
fusorlum which is found in the blood
of infected animals. This disease is
fatal to the OK, the horse, the dog, the
sheep, and the ass, but not to the in
digenous wild animals in the region
infested by the tsetse fly. The re-
searches of Bruce indicate that the
fly acts as carrier of the parasite
from diseased to healthy animals. He
has shown by experiment that after
feeding on the blood of an infected
animal the tsetse fly can communicate
the disease to healthy animal by its
bite. After short period of incuba-
tion the hematozoa appear in the
blood concurrently with the develop
ment of fever, and followed by rapidly
progressive anemia, dropsy and death.
The so called ''surra disease" which
prevails in certain portions of India,
is believed to be due to similar
parasitic protozoan CTrypanosma
evansD, According to Llngard, this
lnfusorium exists as an innocuous
in the blood of rats in India.
1t is not pathogenic, or only feebly so,
for the native OK Of India, but gives
rise to fatal infectious disease in
horses, dogs and camels.-Surgeon

The Passing of Boom Times"

During the II years between 1870
and 1890 this country ran an almost
breathless race of eager and rapid
development. Certainly those were
not normal times. They were based
upon conditions that will never be
seen again upon the American conti-
nent. TO long for their restoration is
TO indulge in the fascinating but profit
less occupation of chasing rainbows.
For what is there in our present con.
ditlon or in our future prospects to
justify the hope that those times will
Ieturn' Our new west is already
iairly well peopled, and its business
conditions have conformed themselves
10 those OF the rest of the country.
Except in few mining districts it no
longer offers field for adventure or
speculation. Our great transconti-
mental railway systems are already
constructed, and not one of them can
earn interest on the money it cost.
Our new towns and cities went rather
beyond the capacity of the tributary
:. intry to support them under the
stimulus Of inflated real estate values
and with the temporary opportunities
they offered for employment of labor |
We shall not again have food of |
foreign money pouring in to loan upon |
anything or everything having the |
sembance of property. The foreigner |
has had his experience, and he now
wants to be doubly sure that he is
gong TO get his capital back and his
regular interest payments before an
American investment has any attrac-
ton for him. Is 1t not, on the whole.
probable that we shall have to make
up our minds to plod along in the
slow going way Of older nations and
TO be satisfied with moderate profits
and slow accumulation of wealth ?
IL these be our reasonable expecta-
tlons, would it not be sane and whole.
some for people to cease dreaming of
golden age which is gone forever ?
