A Green and Gold Wedding.

At a recent wedding the bride adopted
the somewhat hazardous color scheme
of green and yellow. Palms and SUI
perb chrysanthemums carried out in
flowers the colors selected, and the
bridesmaids gowns were of yellow pop
lin, with white null fichus. With these
gowns were worn green velvet picture
hats and nodding plumes. Green and
gold is an effective combination, but
is something rather novel in wedding
colors when it is carried through the
gowns of the bridal party.

Their richness Is riyaled only hr that OF
Java, whence the Dutch nation has
drawn the wealth that has contributed
to make 1t the richest per capita in Eu-
rope. The inhabitants are amiable and
intelligent and willing to be indus
trious. A state OF order only Is neces-
sary, assuring to them the fruits OF
their labor. to transform a Spanish In
ferno Into one OF the jewels OF this ter

Even updec Spanish blight the trade
of the United States with Manila is
respectable: not so many years ago It
was large. With n few gears of enliSht-
cned administration Il Is entirely safe to
say that the trade of the group would
exceed tenfold what 1t has ever been.
The principal customer would be ia

No Cause for Fear.

Just now, when much speculation Is
being INDUCED in concerning the rela-
tive strength OF the navies OF the United
States and Spain, and some uneasy ones
are worried In spirit lest the Spanish
equipment should prove more powerful
than We anticipate. It is right that we
should understand that these fears arc
absolutely bascless. Harper's Weekly,
referring to this subject, says that IN or
der that timid souls may not be unduly
pcrturbed by stories that are printed in
the daily papers concerning the very
powerful ships OF the Spanish navy. It
Is well, perhaps, to say that the Span
ish navyiis not more than one-th!rd as
powerful as our own, and Is probably.
still less effective. The Weekly truth
fully remarks:
THE power OF our navies cannot be
Judged accurately by comparing ships
and ornaments. The conditions Of the
ships and guns must be rcckoncd with;
and while the American ships are al
ways in first class order Spanish, ships
rarely are. There Is the Alfonso XII,
for instance, counted among the Spanish
feet OF effective vessels. AS a matter OF
fact, her boilers are In such condition
that she. cannot move. The relative cf-
fect!vcncss Of narlcs depends on OIL
GERS and crcws-upon the human cqua-
tion--nnd In that respect the American
navy Is as good as any in tho world, and
the Spanish navy Is one Of the weakest"
RI In making this comparison Harpcr's
Weekly Is simply repeating tho tcsti-
mony that has been given BY naval ex-
perts OF both America and Europe, who
have Viewed the relative conditions from
unbiased standpolnts-as experts, and
not as sympathizers of one side or the
other. Several days since the Intelligent

in order 10 draw party lines on a cues
tion Of such great moment to the whole
country, will be anything but good. It
is said that Mr.. Bryan IS responsible for
lining the Democrats up in favor. OF the
Turne amendment to the senate resolu-
ton passed Saturday night 1t is even
stated that Bryan was summoned 10
Washington for that purpose. and TO get
the silver men in line to antagonize the
house resolution.
In view OF all the circumstances and
the gravity Of the situation. this devel-
opment ought to, and doubtless will,
cause a reaction OF sentiment among the
people. 1t Is almost impossible to con-
ceive how the representatives OF the
people should permit themselves TO be
used as: cats-paws of political adven-
turers to divide the forces OF the United
States on party lines on a quction al
issue between our own country and for
eisn power at so critical moment.
What has become OF all the patriotic
non-partisan spirit that prevailcdin con-
gressional circles few days ago, that
a faction OF the Democratic party
should, for, its own advantage In pro-
noting party question, which has
nothing TO do with our relations with
Spain, seek to divide the country at such
a time? What right has Mr.. Bryan to
engage in such an effort to further his
own political ambitions at the cost of
national unity when war for mighty
principle is impending? Does he suppose
the people of this country will have pa
thence with any. such prostitution of the
power of political leadership? Patriot
ism, wisdom, everything must be thrown
to The dogs; the principles which are An
VOWED must be cast aside; the impulse
Of the people TO unite in one solid mass
and TO forget party questions at a time
when all American citizens should
stand shoulder to, shoulder must be ig-
norcd that a faction of a political party
may use the crisis for Its own selfish
ends and 10 make cheap capital for it
self
Senator Aldrlch is right when he says
the circumstance Is unfortunate. He
might have gone further and said It was
dissraceful. It Is not likely to do much
harm, but that fact does not lessen the
contempt the American people will have
so serious a national crisis foot ball OF
party politics.

rhe wondorful Advance in i, Stock

The Wonderful Advance In It's Stock IN
one Internationally Appreciation.
New York Commercial Chronicle Of
Saturday last: The annual report OF this
company, commonly known as the Pan.
Handle road. has been received this
week. The affairs OF the property have
latterly attracted a good deal OF atten-
tion. The stock OF the road has within
recent periods developed considerable
activity aud become quito a favorite on
the New York stock exchange. In the
great rise In values which has occurred
on the exchange the last twelve months
no security has occupied a more con-
spicuous place. In March OF last year
the common stock sold at eleven and
one-half, in December It had risen TO
thirty-nine and one-half; the present
year the price made further advance,
touching forty-six and one-fourth in
February, and being quoted now at
near the game figure. The preferred
stock, which In June, 1897. sold at forty
four and one-eighth. now commands
60I63c "
Such a noteworthy appreciation in
values reflects not only improved earn
lngs and improved business conditions
In the territory served bE the road and
In the country at large. but It reflects
the fact that the property Is controlled
by the Pennsylvania railroad. and
therefore Is operated in an efficient and
highly conservative way. With a road
managed by the Pennsylvania, and in
accordance with Pennsylvania stand
ards, such questions as to whether the
accounts portray accurately the condi-
ton and earning capacity OF the prop
erty and whether the cost OF keeping
the road in full repair has been Proper
ly charged against earnings. never come
up. The fact Is accepted as foregone
conclusion. In addition It is TO be borne
in mind that the. Panhandle forms an
integral part Of the Pennsylvania sys-
Tern, without the control OF which the
efficiency and strategic position OF the
PENNSYLVANIA would be impaired.
