PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS

uhe View York Mail and Express of
recent date contains the followin =
paragraph in reference to political CON
nitsons m the Keystone State:
The main proposition advanced
10y Wayne MacVeagh in a recent
speech IS that the Joliticd1 condi-
Saons in Pennsyl vania have reached
a point where they represent.
purely and simply, government by
bribery and corruption That is
a sweeping and shocking statement
TO make. but Mr.MacVeagh declares,
that everybody knows it's truth;
that everybody knows its truth;
proposition. and that the govern
unent by bribery and corruption re
ceives the silent acquiescence OF
capita LISTS. clergymen, Judges, faw-
{ yers. banker's merchants and manu-
y 1acturers OF the city and state.
Mz. MacVeagh's charge is very Sc
rious one. indeed. and the great tri-
bunaa before which the politicians APP
pear in every election should sift the
matter Well. Since the millennium has
mot yet arrived few intelligent persons
can hope for the application of the
Golden Rule" in politics, or any other
phase OF life, for that matter, but no
State-not even the great common
wealth OF Pennsylvania-can afford to
tolerate government purely and sim
ply by bribery and corruption, And
if the truth of the assertion that cler-
gyEnen. judges and lawyers realize the
Justice of the charge and acquiesce in
The conditions referred to can be es-
tajblfshed. the clergy. bench and bar vf
Pennsylvania should be held up to the
contempt OF all honest men in the
country. If Mr.. MacVeagh knows what
he Is talking about. and he has had
enough experience i'm Pennsylva mia
politics to qualify him to speak author
Gatively, the citizens OF tbs. keystone
State should be looking after their poll
tichans little more closely than they
have been In the past.

Jackson Day.
tnevitabll

On January s, 1915, Andrew Jackson, be- hind cotton bales at New Orleans won the dscisfve battle in the war that was then in progress between the United States and England. That battle settled for all time to come the question of the Louisiana pur- chase which was carried into execution by Thomas Jefferson in 1903. The British were restive under the great acquisition made by the United States in the requirement of what was known as the province of Louisiana from the French.
 The victory at New Orleans practically made Andrew Jackson president of the United States, although it was several years after before he reached the goal of his ambition. Andrew Jackson was, in his day, the best representative of the ideal party the ascendency 1t might not other wise have had. Andrew Jackson was a man of action. He was, perhaps, the most positive character that ever sat in the cx- ecutive chair. He was seldom wrong. He was an American without any English att tachments. He was for his own country first, last and all the time. It is but fitting that the democrats of the present day should revere with honor and sacredness the memory of the hero of the battle of New Orleans The democrats were doing a duty they owed to their party, and to their country to place a wreath upon his altar on the anniversary of his great vic tory.
 The contest waged in the last presiden- tial campaign was not unlike, in many re- spects, that led by Jackson. His enemies were the federalists. The federalists of those days would, if living today, be the men who control the money power of the son upon the banks was a blow struck in defense of the people. The power of wealth then desired to control the affairs of the government as it does in the present day. memory of Andrew Jackson will never die He was the champion of the peoples rights. Though once defeated for the pres idency, he was twice successfully elected thereafter. The standard bearer of the democratic party in the last campaign went down in defeat with his banners fly ing at full mast Just as Jackson did in his first candidacy. What the future may bring forth, no man cal tell. History may repeat itself.

The Methodist Church.

On Friday at Washington eighteen men from the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church, south, met to see if a plan of federation could be devised that would close the split which occurred fifty-four years ago. In all that long time the two branches of the great Methodist body-one in doctrine and in history had not taken a step looking to a closer relationship down to last Friday. If the two branches can be reunited, a church of many millions would result, the most Influential Protestant body in the country if not in the world. All the churches, all the people, will eagerly await the conclusions of the commits sionsers.
 They are all strong men and all are sad to be favorably inclined to federal tion. But ths How and the When are not so easy. An union of the two branches of the Epworth League is con- sidered probable, to be followed by the adoption of a common hymnal, and by joint missionary action in Japan, China and Mexico. There Is really no occa- eion for much delay or much coyness. There is really nothing substantial in the way. The traditions and aspira- tions of the Two branches are held in common; their battle is @ common one; {; they have common foes; and there is no longer a. particle of reason Tor a longer rsrod of separation.
 Long, long ago the real difference was obatera-ed in the clash of arms. Way back in 1S44, at general conference held in Buffalo, Bishop J. o. Andrews was suspended d because his wife had by inheritance become the possessor of several slaves. The era sf bitterness was begun at once, but the actors of those. days, the good bIsep and |. s friends, us we'll as .he subject of thely action, all are gone, and there Is naugllt left but two great branches that have other problems to deal with; and these problems can best be met by 8 joining tf harlds with every enerby devoted to the work of today and of days 90 .cme.

Birminqham's Future. [.

Thomas A. Edison, the wizard and genius of electrical science has of late given not only much of his valuable time but much of his fortune, to the iron industry. For ten years he has been making experiments in magnetic concentration, hoping to- be able to ren- der the low grade rocks of New Jersey m5rchantable in the form of briquettes- He and his associates are now erecting large and costly plant in Sussex coun- ty, New Jersey, where the .rocks do net bear over 20 per cent. of metallic iron. Whether thrs plant will have an output of comme rcial value Is, of course, a problem. But whether 1t does or not, these exp riments have led MT. Edison to study the iron question in all it's bearings, and his chief conclusions are embraced in an interview published in the Age of Steel, St. Louis technical publication. He says:
 "The future of the iron and steel trade belongs to America England has long held the premiership in th.s
 
 question of economic conditions and in the industrial battle in th,s great trade England will soon be- too seriously handicapped to maintain her present position. Her cheap materials are al- most at an endl It costs more and more in Britain for mineral. Already her supplies of ere are being drawn from Spain, Elba and other distant points; and those ores cost more to get out than American ores, while the expense of transport is very large. The Pittsburg ironmasters bringing their ores from the head of Lake Superior and their fuel from the Connellsville district, are today vastly better off than the Eng fish.
 Tut nowhere in the world are the conditions as favorable as in Alabama. When the Lord put ore, coal and lime Utone all together at Birmingham, he negected only one thing to make the conditions ideal, and that was in fail ing to provide naviga'ble stream to tide water. But in time this will be remedied. I look to see in my nfe- time a deep water canal to the Warrior river, and that stream so improved with Icclls and dams as to give Birmingham ,, water communication with the Gulf of Mexico. When that is done, then Bir- m:ngham will be in an unrfvaled posi- tion to compete with the markets of the world Of course, we can't expect in Q new country to do all these things in a generation, but we have done enough in the ircsi trade to know that the fu- ture b 'ongs to us."
