A Great Commonwealth.

Last year Pennsylvania produced
rolled into finished form, or almost
five-sevenths of the output of the en-
tire United States. This production
was worth s123, 3,900,771. AS compared
with 1896 the number of tons increased
more than % per cent, yet the price
a ton fell from $S1.6s to s26.2S, a shrink
age of II per cent.
Strange to say, though the price fell
to this extraordinary extent, 3,129 more
men were employed in the production
in 1897 than in 1896; the average num-
ber of days of employment increased
by Is, or more than per cent; and
the average wage earned increased
so3S4, or over per cent. The average
wage of the states iron and steel
workers, counting skilled and unskilled
labor in together, last year was s46S.73;
and the average number of days of
employment was 269.

THE SHIP OF 1912.

She was no armored cruiser of twice six
thousand tons,
With the thirty foot of metal that make
your modern guns,
She didn't have a free-board of thirty foot
in clear
And she didn't need a million repairing
fund each year.
She had no rackin' engines to ramp an
stamp and strain,
To work her steel-clad turrets and break
her hull in twain;
She did not have electric lishts-the bat
tle-lantern's glare
Was all the light the tween decks had
an Gods own good fresh air.
She had no gaping air-fumes to throw us
down our breath,
An we didn't batten matches to smother
men to death;
She didn't need five hundred smiths-two
hundred men would do
In the old-time Yankee frigate for an old
time Yankee crew
An a fighting Yankee captain, with his
old-time Yankee clothes,
A cursin' Yankee sailors with his old
time Yankee oaths.
She was built Of Yankee timber and
manned by Yankee men,
An .ought by Yankee sailors--Lord seni
their like again!
| With the wind abaft the quarter and the
sea foam nyin' free,
| An every tack and sheet housed taut an
| braces eascd to lee,
| You could hear the decp-sea thunder from
the knight-hcads where 1t broke,
| AS she trailed her lee guns under in a
bilndin whirl o. smoke,
She didn't run at twenty knots-shc
| wasn't built TO run
| An we didn't need half a watch TO hand
| die every gun,
Our captain didn't fight his ship from q
| little pen o Steel
| He fought her from his quarterback
with two hands at the wheel,
An we fought I'm Yankee fashion, half
naked-stripped to board
An when they hauled their Red Ras
down we praised the Yankee LORD,
We fought like Yankee sailors, an wei

but you can't change Yankee men!

In letters from the front Commodore
schley continues to insist that the
glory for the great naval victory at
Santiago belongs impartially to all the
officers and all the men, which is mod
est ana manly and to his everlasting
credit. AS he tersely says, there is
glory enough TO so around" At the
same time the American people do not
overlook the fact that a concerted ef-
fort beginning in the navy depart
mcnt at Washington and ending with
the acting rear admiral commanding
the North Atlantic squadron has been
put forth to keep from Commodore
schley the opportunity and the dstinc~

FUEL FOR NAVAL PURPOSES.
rom the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
The new vessels which will soon be
built for our navy should have their fire
CRATES so constructed as to permit of the
use of anthracite as well as of bituminous
coal. If the CRATES should be made so
that anthracite could be burned they
would work equally as well while
burning soft coal; but the form Of CRATE
which is used for soft coal does not give
so satisfactory a result when anthracite
is used. AS a result there is at once an
unnecessary disability and discrimination
which might on emergent occasions work
great harm.
This matter is of more Importance TO
the navy than will appear at first sight.
Anthracite coal is much better for stor-
age than bituminous. 1t is cleaner 10
handle, is smokeless, and is not, like btu
mnous, liable to spontaneous combustion.
A cruiser using soft coal, like Cervera
ships coming out of Santiago harbor, hrst
dscloses its movements by the pillar OF
smoke it carries about with 1t. For long
voyages such as our battleships aid
cruisers will always be compelled to make
these advantages of anthracite would
seem to make it imperative that it should
| be used. Already the use of soft coal has
come perilously near blowing up some OF
| our best vessels, and is source of con-
stant danger Fer purposes OF supply at
| coaling stations anthracite coal must al
| ways be preferable for most obvious rea-
sons. There would be such safety and ad-
| vantage in it's use as to more than make
| good any increased cost OF purchase.

"The Swallow Flyer"

The Swallow Flyer, the campaign
extra of City and State, is now on wing
and may be seen at any street corner.
1t advocates, of course, the election Of
DIR. Slas c. Swallow as governor. Like
many another well-meaning man VINO
has mistaken his mission in the world,
Dr. Swallow will find it as difficult to
eonjoin religion with politics in our
own day as Cardinal Wolsey did three
centuries ago. The two things are in
compatible, and always have been.
The alliance of church anu state has
been the record of venality, intrigue,
and decentralization, of wreck and ruin

out of water. His intentions may be-
the best in the world but the tide Of
circumstances is invariably too strong
for him. 1t carries him off his feet
He is derided by his own CLOTH and
mistrusted by the secular arm. When
Bishop Walker was killed at the Battle
OF the Boyne, a messenger was sent to
acquaint the king of the fact. The un-
was: "Why did not the fool stop at
home?" DIR. Swallows ideals are lofty
if not inspiring, but they are beyond
the reach of human nature as cunsti-
tuted politically in the United States.

words in the mouths Of the so-called

THE TEACHING OF FACTS.

From the New York Sun.
The whole policy of the administration,
from the very day of the historic victory
of Dewey at Cavite, and all the subse-
quent military and naval movements at
and toward the Philippines, indicate un-
mistakably determination TO take these
islands as our rightful property by con-
quest and to hold them at our will. These
costly and prodigious demonstrations and
prepare tions have not been made to get
possession of a coaling station merely
They were unnecessary for any such pur-
pose: would have been culpably wasteful
for that end only, since Admiral Dewey
had already taken a coaling station be-
fore our FIRST military expedition to the
Philippines had started. Major General
Merritt was sent with large force or
troops to capture the Philippines and take
command of them. He did not go to give
them back to Spain. The talk of some
of tho newspapers about the intention OF
the administration to restore them 10
Spain as n free gift In order to pur-
chase a pusillanimous peace after our
complete triumph in war, is absurd. 1t is
preposterous. 1t is impossible. No sug-
gestion of deserting those islands and be-
| traying the Inhabitants by abandoning
them TO the oppressive and destructive
rule OF Spain has entered the head OF
William Mckinley.
