AN ARCTIC VISION.

AN ARCTIC VISION.
written by Bret Harte at the time Of
the Alaska purchased
Where the short-legged Esquimau
Waddles in the ice and snow,
And the playful polar bear
Nips the hunter unaware,
Where by day the track the ermine
And by night another vermin-
Segment of the Frigid Zone,
Where the temperature alone
Warns on st. Elias's cone;
Polar dock, where Nature slips
From her ways her icy ships,
Let the news that flying goes
Thrill through all your Arctic foes,
Till the tidings circling round
Every bay Of Norton Sound,
Throw the vocal tide wave back.
On the spot where Eugene Sue
Led his wretched Wandering Jew,
Stands a form whose features strike
Russ and Esquimau alike.
He it is whom Skalds of old
In their Runic rhymes foretold;
Lean of flank and lank of jaw
See the real Northern Thori
See the awful Yankee leering
Just across the Straits of Behring;
On the drifted snow, too plain
Sinks his fresh tobacco stain,
Just beside the the deep inden-
Tation of his number 10.
Leaning on his icy hammer
Stands the hero of this drama,
| And above the wild ducks clamor
In his own peculiar grammar
Lo, the Arctic prologue rises:
Wall, l reckon faint so bad
Seem twas all they had.
True, the Springs are rather late
And early Falls predominant;
But the ice crops pretty sure
| And the air is kind of pure;
There's a right smart chance for FL
chase
All along this recent purchase,
And unless the stories fail,
Every fish from cod to whale;
Rocks, too; mebbe quartz; let's see
'Twould be strange if there should be
Seems I've heard such stories told;
Eli, Why, bless you-yes, it's gold!"
While the blows are falling thick
From his California pick,
You may recognize the Thor
OF the vision that 1 saw
Freed from visionary glamor,
See the real magician's hammer.

Excitement Promised.

The prospect of a personal contest
between John Wanamaker and Senator
Quay, ostensibly for the state treasur-
ership but i'm reality for the control of
the Pennsylvania Republican organi-
zation is offered in current dispatches
az one of the political eXcitements Of
the season. We suspect that this fore
cast is subject to some discount, for it
hardly seems probable that Mr. Wanna
maker, after his experience last winter,
would care again TO court the rough
caresses of a political buzz saw. StiN,
you never can tell what to look for in
politics, and If the reports be true which
come from Allegheny county i'm relation
to the expenditures made there last
week by emissaries apparently working
in the Phiadelphian's interest it would
seem to confirm the theory that Mr..
Wanamaker is electioneering for fur

with a weakness for seeing his name
in print. When this weakness takes the

AnImportant Decision.

brought by the attorney general 10 as

trust law could be applied to nuIIlly
what are commonly known as rail-
way nuols. The defendant association
was made up Of representatives of
eighteen previously competing rail
roads and had been formed for the pur-
pose Of securing uniformity in charges.
The hill of complaint alleged that this
was an abridgement of free compeu-

court rules unreservedly in the plain

summaries OF its opinion do it justice,
LAYS down the interpretation that the
Sherman law is valid wherever federal
authority has jurisdiction, to suppress
every possible combination intended to
limit competition or restrain trade,
whether that limit or restraint be
reasonable or unreasonable. In other
words. it is within the power of the
United States government to decree
that in all business traVersing state

Sentiment. Not Law, Required.

Among the bills introduced this week
at Harrisburg was an interesting one
relating to corrupt practices at cleo
tions. 1t requires every candidate for
public office to file an itemized state
ment of election expenses, whether he
is voted for at a primary, special or
regular election held in any Of the
cities. counties, borOughs or election
districts Of the commonwealth. within
ten days after such election. Such
statement shall give the names of the
various persons who received money, and
specify the nature of each item and the
purpose for which it was expended or
contributed. There shah be attached
to such statement an affidavit to its
truth, subscribed and sworn to by the
candidate. Any candidate who neglects
or refuses to file a statement for a per-
iOd of ten days after the date Of the
primary, municipal or general election
has been held. shall be guilty of a
misdameanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not exceeding $500,
or imprisoned not exceeding one year,
or both, at the discretion of the court.
This is substantially the law now in
vogue i'm New York, where it was in

Concerning Naturalization.

The fact that it is within the right
of each state Legislature to define what
conditions shall entitle an alien to ma
auraliZation in the courts of the state
is advanced as a reason why the gen
eral assembly at Harrisburg should at
this session take steps to put this i'm
portant matter upon a more satisfac-
tory plane. No one knows more def
nitely than the inhabitant of the an
thracite coal regions what carelessness
has upon occasions prevailed i'm the ma
turalization courts, and while the tend
ency of our judges is to lift up the
standard, it is really the duty of the
legislature to come to their aid.
A bill to this end has been introduced
in the house by Representative Coray
of Luzerne, but whether it meets the
emergency in every particular is
matter for consideration. 1t provides,
as we understand it, that no alien shall
hereafter be naturalized who cannot
read and write the English language
and offer a fair explanation of the main
principles of our government Under
such a bill large latitude would neces-
sarily be left to the president judge.
and If he We're disposed for any reason
to ease the process. the restriction
might not have noticeable effect But
it is our belief that few judges would
not welcome the chance to throw upon
the legislatures shoulders the respOn-
sibility for IL strict enforcement of
law like that suggested and that,
., I,a
feasible. In general intent, at least it
accurds with enlightened sentiment
and merits careful attention by the
Legislature.
The time we think, has gone by when
the suggestion or such a restriction
upon the suffrage i'm this country could
be met by widespread charge of
bigotry and the proscriptive spirit
Ample experience in wholesale and in
discriminate hospitality has bred a
taste and, indeed, shown the necessity
for some narrowing Of the matter. The

CARBONDALE AND THE MONUMENT.

Now that the grand jury has finally
recommended the building of county
monument to the memory OF the soldiers

preservation of the Union, it is in order
for Carbondale to correct an erroneous
inpre ssion that has been spread abroad
By an oVer-2ealous newspaper. The peo-

The PEOPLE of this city are as patriotic
as any in the country They are not only
willing but anxious that heroes Of the ma

when monuments are raised to the mem

be. If the county wishes to raise such u
monument our people are not 50 uenu-

each one would contribute toward the
