APPLIES TO PENNSYLVANIA,
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In this national crisis, laden with possi-
bilities of national good or evil beyond
precedent. the political interest of the
voters of New York, as of other states
whose election resembles theirs, when
placed in the order of Importance will ap-
pear thus:
l. The election of Republican congress-
men pledged to support honest money and
the Republican policy of national growth
and expansion.
II. The election of a Republican legisla-
ture in order that the United States SEN
ator to be chosen shall be pledged to the
same policy.
III. The election of a Republican gov
ernor and ether stae officers.
New York could better afford ten times.
to hand over her state house in Albany
and the control of her affairs TO an adj
ministration picked out of the streets
at random than to have the cause IF
sound money endangered by Republican
defeat in the house of representatives and
the Washington administration checked
in winning for the country the precious
| advantages that war has put in our
hands.

WHEELER AT SARATOGA.

Into the thick of the fight he went, pallid
and sick and wan,
Borne in an ambulance TO the front, a
ghostly wisp of a man;
But the lighting soul of a lighting man,
approved in the long ago,
Went to the front in that ambulance,
in the body of Fighting Joe.
Out from the front they were coming
back, smitten of Spanish shells
Wounded boys from the Vermont hills
and the Alabama dells;
Put them into this ambulance; I'll ride
to the front" he said;
And he climbed to the saddle and rode
right on, that little old eX-confed.
From end to end of the long blue ranks
rose up the ringing cheers,
And many a powder bla ckened face was
furrowed with sudden tears,
AS with flashing eyes and cleaning
sword, and hair and beard of snow,
Into the hell of shot ana shell rode little
old Fighting Joe!
Sick with fever and racked with PAIN, he
could not stay away,
For he heard the song of the yester-
years in the deep-mouthed cannon's
bay
lie heard in the calling song OF the guns
there was work for him TO do,
Where his country's best blood splashed
and flowed round the old Red, White
and Blue.
Fevered body ana hero heart! This
Unions heart to you
Beats out in love and reverence-and TO
each dear boy IN blue
Who stood or fell mid the shot ana shell
and cheercd in the face OF the foe,
As, wan and white TO the heart OF the
fight rode little old Fighting Joe'

there and establish a gigantic iron

Pavement Repairs.

The necessity of Immediately repair
ing the asphalted pavements of the
city is so patent that discussion Of it
is needless. At present the matter that
concerns the people of this city is the
manner in which the repairs shall be
made.
Common Councilman Keller some
time ago introduced an ordinance
which provides that the work shall be
done by contract, the amount neces-
sary to pay for the work to be secured
out of the ordinary revenues of the city,
which would avoid the necessity of in
creasing our bonded Indebtedness.
This ordinance was thoroughly dis
cussed and maturely considered in COM
mon council and was passed by that
body after it had decided that Mr.. Kel-
ler's remedy was the best that had
been suggested for improving the Woe
full condition of our asphalt paved
streets, The ordinance will come up
for consideration at tonight's meeting
of the select council and ought to pass
two readings.
The prompt passage of this measure
which seems to be the best that could
be devised to meet the present emer-
gency, will admit of the awarding OF
the contract and the completion of at
least good portion of the much needed
repairs before frosty weather causes a
suspension of such work until next
spring. 1t is probable that the select
councilmen, with a full knowledge of
the Importance of the matter, will act
promptly tonight.

The Territory of Hawaii.

The form of government to be used
in Hawaii is outlined as territorial
with one representative in congress
and a governor who will be paid a
salary of $1,000 or Sc, OOO AS the exist
ing forms of government are modelled
after those of the United states some
of them win remain the same. The
legislature consists of senate elected
for six years and house of represen-
tatives elected for two years each con-
sisting of fifteen members. The legis-
lative procedure is practically the same
as in the United States. While the
committee system is identical with
that in this country.
The foundation of the legal system
of the country is the common law of
England. The penal law and practice
is codified and there are no penal Of
fenses except those enumerated in the
code.
The civil law, practice and procedure
is partially codified and is in general
as much like the several states in
America as the law of one state is like
that of another. The text books and
law reports OF England and the United
States are cited as authority in the
courts in the same manner that they
are in this country.
The members of the Supreme and
Circuit court bars are nearly all Amer
leans or were educated in our law
schools. The attorneys in the district
courts are chiefly native Hawaians,
educated in Honolulu.
The main judicial system which is to
continue undisturbed in the new ter
ritory consists of District and Circuit
courts and a Supreme court. There
are about thirty district courts hav-
ing jurisdiction over misdemeanors and
civil matters not involving more than
$500. They also commit for trial by
jury, persons accused OF felony. exer-
cising the functions of an American
grand jury. The latter system not

being in vogue, appeals may be taken
to the Circuit or Supreme courts.
There are four Circuit courts with
appellate jurisdiction over appeals from
the District courts and original iuris-
diction over all civil suits involving
more than $500; over persons commit
ted for trial for felonies: In all equity,
admiralty and probate cases and over
special proceedings such as habeas
corpus, etc. Each court is presided
over by one Judge. The same class OF
cases are tried by jury as are here.
Juries consist of twelve men but nine
can render a verdict in both civil and
criminal cases which in some respects
Is far cry ahead Of our system where
twelve men must be made to agree.
Jury can be waived in all except cap
ital cases.
The Supreme court consists Of three
judges, with exclusive jurisdiction to
decide certain special proceedings ana
the validity of elections to the legis-
lature, concurrent jurisdiction with the
Circuit court concerning habeas corpus
and certain other special proceedings;
and appellate over exceptions and ap-
peals. Cases are tried promptly and
the courts are ably and honestly con-
ed by the president, district Judges for
FIVE years. circuit judges for four years,
and supreme judges for life.

Peace Congress
Will Be Held.
From the Tines Herald.

From the Times-Herald.
n 4 IS now understood that all the pow
ers, including the United states,
have accepted the czar's invitation TO
III the congress OF disarmament. with
some limitations on the subjects to
be discussed These limitations were
more particularly set forth in ltaly's re-
ply, upon which the Times-Herald has al
ready commented, and are meant to ex-
clude the burning questions of territorial
Arrangement. such as Alsace-LorraIne,
Egypt and the popes temporal power. or
course no government was going to give
the cold shoulder to so humane propo-
sltion, or refuse participation in the con-
gross, though all appear to think 1t must
end in futilitv.
France has been the most outspoken
and has showed the Alsace-Lorraine ques-
ton into the very forefront OF the whole
business. Nevertheless France will send
representatives. whose sole duty. how
ever, will prhaps be little more than that
of the lawyer who holds watching briof
O.
How disarmament can be discussed
with Alsace-L Lorraine barred is difficult
to comprehend, but perhaps diplomacy
may find way but the two great ques-
tions at the threshold of the inquiry are
these-irst, what Is to be the basis of dis
armament? and second. how is II TO be
guaranteed? The cars circular as first
interpreted seemed to mean entire dis
armament on the part of all the nations
and a coming In of the millennium, when
swords were to be beaten into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks. But this
Interpretation hardly lasted twenty-four
hours. Novosti, the Russian official news
paper, explained that no such sangune
end was aimed at and that IL was not a
reduction but a stay of armaments that
was to be desired. The status quo was
to be assumed as the basis. This is more
| reasonable, but also has its difcultie.
-:o:-
The second question is vital Who is
to see that the arrangement, whatever 1t
may be. is carried out? The parliament
of the world and the federation of man
may pass all the millenidl resolutions
| that lovers of peace may propose, but
where Is the executive that will enforce
| them? Suppose some nation violates the
| bond and instead of staying it's arma-
ment goes on increasing 1t? How is that
nation to be brought to terms? The 9TH
ers might combine and make war upon
| 1t. but this would mean increased arma-
| ments all around. with actual war involv-
| ing all the nations. the very thing the
car is endeavoring to forestall. The out
| look for actual performance by this peace
| conference is therefore not promising, but
| this is no reason why il should not be
| held. 1t may lead to something and have
| results far more beneficent than can now
| he forecast. 1t is n step in the right di-
| rcction and may induce other steps. 1t
| is expected that as soon as the Spanish
| American peace conference at Paris has
| concluded it's labors the czar will name
the day for the disarmament congress.

MARRIAGE IN THE PHILLIP
PINES.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
In no respect will the dominatioB, or
even the influence, of the United States
in the Philippines work for good more
than the social life of the people An
American minister who has recently re-
turned from the Islands is the authority
for the statement that the priests have
for many years charged the natives no
less than $50 for performing the maria ge
service. As the average native under
Spanish rule was able to earn about IS
month when times were good" and he
had regular employment, it is easy to see
why common law marriages have always
been the rule rather than the exception.
1t is safe to say that among the first re-
forms introduced in the islands is one
that will have direct bearing upon the
sanctity of the marriage relation.

With the launching Of the battleship
Illinois at Newport News the other
day, probably the most formidable
fighting vessel in the world was float
ed. The Illinois is exactly similar to
the Alabama and Wisconsin, now un-
der construction. This trio of armored
fighters are believed to be a distinct
improvement over the Iowa and the
vessels of the Indiana class, both as
regards battery power and general ef-
fectiveness. They possess a high free
board, which will enable them to work
their guns in the heaviest seas. and
their armament of fourteen rapid-fire
siX-inch rifles in addition to the four
thirteen-inch guns in the big turrets,
fore and aft, should make them dang
erous antagonists for anything on the
seas, and they will assist materially in
increasing the respect that foreign ma
tions are beginning to entertain for the
United States.

The st. Gothard Railway Company,
in Switzerland and Italy report very
satisfactory results: from the use Of
steel sieepers on their lines. In 1889,
when the road was opened, 1t was laid
with wood sleepers, but as these have
had to be replaced, 1t has been done
with steel instead, and at the present
time 10 per cent Of the road is laid on
steel ties. The sieepers weigh l6S
pounds each, are 8.86 feet long. The
cost. when new, with attachments. is
$l.95, which, allowing for the value of
the old material and the cost of laying,
Is reduced to $l.6a per sleeper, which
Is saving of per cent over wood
sleepers. The line is heavy one, and
the trains are hauled at express speed.
The engines weigh 100 tons each. The
cost of steel ties in the end Is less than
that OF wood. In tunnels, wooden ties
are preferred, as they are not liable to
rust. but in other places the deteriora-
tion due to rust is absolutely insignifi-
