RETROSPECT.

When you were here, l often sat
Love silent with you half the day;
There was small need of speech in that
Sweet converse Of the blended way.
Now You are gone, and hour by hour
muse of things | long to share;
There's not a bud, a leaf, a flower,
But helps me miss you everywhere
My lonely heart cnspheres the past
With ether caught from heavens gold
dream of bliss too sweet to last,
And then | walcn, starved and cold.
For by that solitary path
That outward leads from mortal ken
You walked, and here am and faith
And jostling crowds of careless men.
I've touched the inmOst core of pain
In creeping days, each day year,
Yet might | sit tongue tied again
If you were here, if you were here.

BARGAIN COUNTER METHODS.

Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, of plum
tree fame, announces that he is a candi-
date for reelection. Since his election the
leading papers of the keystone state have
been declaring that Notwithstanding the
fact that the Republican ticket in that
state was elected by a very large plural
ity, enough anti-Quay members of the leg
islature had been chosen to prevent the
return of Mr.. Quay to the Senate.
1t is safe to assume that he would not
announce himself a candidate for re-elec-
ton if he did not feel certain that he
could control a majority of the legis-
lature in his interest. And the manner
in which he makes the announcement in
dicates that he feels certain of success,
because he uses language as offensive as
he can make it 10 John Wanamaker, who
led the fight against him. Without men,
tioning Mr.. Wanamakers NAME he refers
10 the statement that was made when
the latter was candidate for the SEN
ate two years ago, viz, that Mr.. Wana-
maker attempted to buy the senatorship
and concludes as follows: THE attempt to
purchase the United States senatorship
two years ago did not succeed, and sim
liar attempt will not succeed now. Bar
gain counter methods have been repudiat-
ed by the people of this state
Senator Quay is about the shrewdest pol
itician in the country Mr.. Wanamaker
will make a great effort in the legisla-
ture to prevent him from being returned
to the Senate, but 1t is doubtful if he will
come anywhere near succeeding. The Re
publicans have big majority in the leg
islature the senator will manage to get
himself renominated and reelected.
No doubt a vigorous effort will be made
10 prove, beyond doubt that he has been
| in the habit of specializing with the money
| of the state, as the letters and dispatches
from him to the cashier of one of the
banks, which was a depository of state
! funds, Indicated. These letters and dis
patches were found among the private
| papers of the cashier after he had com
mitted suicide, and the bank had closed
its doors. 1t would not be surprising,
however If he should slip out of that
trouble, leaving the public in doubt as
to whether or not he is guilty of the
charge Mr. Wanamaker stands ever so
much better with the people than he does,
but he is a smarter politician than Mr..

about by Edward Lauterbach and his

judges of the Supreme Court.

Nikola Tesla, the electrician, announces

THE GOVERNORS SPECIAL MES

/ The fault we have TO find with the spe-
state. which the Governor sent to the leg
/ stature on Wednesday. is that it contains
no recommendation for extricating the
state from its financial difficulties. The
| Governor contents himself with showing
that the states income is not sufficient TO
meet such demands as have heretofore
been made upon it, and pointing out the
deficit for the present year In connection
with the figures which he gives. he says:
we must either reduce appropriations or
largely increase the rate Of taxation, when
it is already greater than it ever has been
in the history OF the state"
The legislature would have welcomed
some suggestion from the Governor as to
the best method for getting the state out Of
its financial trouble. Does he think that a
part Of the appropriation for public schools
should be cut off and the pension charge
cut down, or that the rate Of taxation
should he increased? Perhaps he thinks
that some relief might be had by cutting
salaries of officials and having biennial
sessions of the legislature, It may be also
that he fayors equalzing assessments
throughout the state. so that more than
two-thirds Of the counties would not draw
out of the state treasury for schools and
pensions more than they pay into it,
We feel sure that the legislature would
appreciate something more definite from
the Governor relative to the best method
for bringing the states expenses within its
income. During the campaign the Govern
or said that he favored a reduction OF tax
alton, but he did not say how, in his opin-
ion, a reduction could be brought about
He is still in favor of tax reduction, but he
does not give the legislature any help in its
efforts to lower the tax rate. In view Of
must have some views as to how a lower
tax rate can be secured with justice to all
and without injury to any interest.
1t is fair to assume, of course, that he
does not favor a higher tax rate, because
ne has all along been insisting upon a low
er rate, and he evidently believes that a
great deal Of property escapes taxation.
because, he says in his message that one
Of the reasons that the states resources
have fallen behind the estimates is the
| disposition OF property holders in hard
times to withhold from the tax gatherer
such property as can be concealed. sim.
these views do not assist the legislature
in solving the problem presented to it
| in the special message. The message
would have been a much greater success
If it had contained some c.ear-cut recon-
mendations for getting the state out of its
difficulties. They might not have met the
approval of the legislature, but they would
have given that body starting point for
the consideration of the financial problem.
and that would have been a good deal.

The railway ticket scalpers think they
have at hand strong point against the
railroads and business men who are trying
to down them. For five or six years the
commercial interests worked to secure an
interchangeable mileage ticket, which the
railroads finally adopted, after a great
deal of discussion and expense. The ticket
has been in use for about two years, and
has proved of great advantage. The scalp
ers claim that this ticket comes under the
ban of the recent Joint Traffic decision,
!nasmuch as it represents a combination
Of corporations in restraint Of trade and
commerce"
