A story About Mr.. Addicks

tFrom the Boston Transcript)
The spectacle of Mr.. Addicks' Senatorial
throes in Delaware reminds OF an episode
when he was engaged in the gas business in
Boston. Mr.. Addicks, some people will re-
member, was occupied here in an attempt which
involved good deal of legislation of one kind
another. During the progress OF his attempt
he invited the board of aldermen OF the city Of
Boston day to go down the harbor on his
boat Now Then, and the invitation accepted.
When they started out Mr.. Addicks pro-
blew fercey on the little deck of the Now Then,
were regarded as proper TO replace the more for

blue except one. which white, and this
white one Addicks proceeded 10 present. with
n flourish, 10 Alderman Farmer, saying as he did
II give this to Alderman Farmer to as
an emblem of purity
All the other aldermen laughed for Mr. Far
mer had been prominent in his opposition TO Ad-
dicks schemes in the board. Mr. Farmer ac-
cepted the white cap, and 1t without any
protest or, for that matter, any complacency.
But some time later in the day, when the party
were lined up before a soda fountain. Mr. Far
mer said:
Can you tell me. Mr.. Addicks what is the
difference between the man who runs this soda
fountain and you?'

pennsyIyanin,s Scandal.

Rottenness in the Republican politics of
Pennsylvania is not recent discovery. II
has been obtrusiye in the municipal affairs
of Philadelphia for years and there have
been more than suspicious of corruption
among the State Legislators. 1t has not al
ways involved the payment of money, but
that was TO have been expected al last.
That Mr.. Quay held his place by a iu-
dicious use OF the Federal patronage even
he would not deny. On the contrary, he
would probably boast that he had been
able to obtain the support of men who
would otherwise oppose him, by appoint
ments 10 Office. This, however, is not lin
tied TO the State named after the man
whose first laws provided that whenever
an office should be much sought after its
pay should be reduced Wherever there is
a political boss there is corruption of this
kind and ii is not looked upon as wrong
enough to make a fuss about. Men have
been bought in that way and have seemed
TO retain their self-respect. II is when it
is done to elect to high Office dishonest
or disbonorable or notoriously unfit person
that II is considered criminal. From that
the distance is not far 10 money bribery
What is to become OF Pennsylvania is a
grave question. The masses OF the people.
even those who gave more than a hundred
thousand majority to Qusyism at the last
election. and who now favor or do not op-
pose that candidate, are honest. II is only
that they suspend the operation of their
conscience, perhaps unconsciously, when
the welfare of the party seems TO require
ii. But this is bad enough. That they
should separate party leader from his
personal business methods is net surpris-
| ing, because he is the general under whom
they have fought a hated enemy with wild
enthusiasm-who has aroused the most in
tense admiration for his generalship of
which they are capable. and without whose
guiding hand they feel less confident Ou;

GUNS TO THROW LIFE-LINFS.
Thirteen OF Them to Throw Shot
and Rope Through Windows.

New York, March 31-Solid shot pop
ping into the windows OF burning houses,
with long life-lines trailing behind tn IN.
are TO be a spectacular feature OF fires in
Brooklyn in the future. Each hook and
ladder truck hereafter is to carry small
gun mounted near the drivers seat Th.r-
teen of these guns were delivered yester-
day at the borough headquarters of the fire
department.
Each gun weighs about fifteen pounds.
A shot, to which strong lifeline is at
tached, lies in the muzzle with the rope
coiled behind it. A cartridge is used TO
discharge the shot. and the force of the
explosion is sufficient to throw a line over
the highest building in the city. In tene-
ment house fires, where the escape of
tenants is cut off from below, the lines
will be thrown into windows
The guns did not ARRIVE until yestsr-
day afternoon and have not been tested
yet. They were packed in crates, and
Chief Dale will probably inspect them to-
day After the test the guns will be dis
tributed among the thirteen trucks in the
city.
We got the guns from Manhattan
yesterday and they have not been un-
