on upon an enormous scale. each in
turn deprecated and opposed by many
of our most thoughtful statesmen as
sure to result in national ruin, and
each in turn accepted and approved
bS the verdict of posterity. AS the
reputation Of statesman-wha
may be his brilllancy-seldom survives
unless his actions and utterances have
been identified with issues ultimately
successful and accepted and approved
by posterity, these oppositions TO prog
ress are buried in Oblivion. When,
however, we hear despalring predic-
tions Of the downfall of republican in
stitutions to result in the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands and Porto
Rico, and a responsible supervision of
the affairs of Cuba, it is not difficult,
and it is certainly consoling to recall
that similar forebodings have been ex-
pressed on several previous occasions,
and have in every instance been proved
without foundation"
After referring to the purchase of
Florida and Alaska and the cession of
Texas, Senator Penrose said 80
far this series of territorial expan-
sions has been justified by its results.
1t may be said with reason that these
were all of contiguous territory, ex-
cept Alaska, in temperate climate
almost uninhabited, capable of coloni-
cation by people of our own country
1t may be said with equal reason that
the comparatively small amount of
island territory recently annexed con-
stitutes strategic positions relative to
cur continental domain of great i'm
portance from commercial and naval
point of view. / take it that major
ity Of the American people have no
apprehension as to the difficulties to be
encountered in regulating this terri
tory. Let us establish equal suffrage
basis. Let us extend to these possess
ions, so far as it is practicable, the
principles of self government, religious
federation, the American system of
common schools, a free and honest ju-
dietary; and there is every indication
that there will open before us a mag
nificent destiny. That the possibilities
of the future should be assured to our
people, to my mind, is clearly involved
in the question of the continuance of
Republican supremacy"
We submit this speech in evidence
as proof that Pennsylvania now has a
senator who can not only talk, but
talk well and to the point.

1t is to be regretted that Attorney
John T. Lenahan, who on Monday and
Tuesday showed in his conduct of the
defence in the Scrantonian libel case
legal ability of the highest order,
should on Wednesday have marred his
high reputation by nlea not only not
confined within the limits of evidence
but so brutally abusive in places
as to recall the admonition
once given TO Mr. Lenahan by
the Supreme court of PENN
sylvania in a celebrated matter Of
judicial record. 1t is t.ue that the vir-
ulence of this denunciltion was a
mere lawyers artifice to cover up a
bad case and give a return for gen.
erous fee; but, apart from any possible
bias in the matter, it had the effect to
reveal Mr.. Lenahan in a poorer light
to court and public than he had stood
in prior to the delivery thereof; and
we can hardly think SO i'll of a Lacka-
wanna county jury as TO believe that it
did Mr.. Lenahan's clients any good.

portion Of the anthracite producing
and carrying trade has practically
been under the control of a number
of leading capitalists, with the same
interests at stake, but even since this
consolidation Of Interests there has
been slower progress than might have
been expected. Ovcr-capitalization
and the competition 1t made necessary
has delayed the placing Of this great
industry on a substantially profitable
basis, under the ruling and existing
conditions. For two years or more
there has been steady, l: slow inn
provement, and 1899 promises 10 be
most satisfactory year, and to prom
Use that the great problem will yet
be satisfactorily worked out.
"rhe amount of coal sent to market
this year promises TO be the largest in
the history of the trade, and prices
have been fairly remunerativc. The
output for the calenda? year to Sep
tember 80 was S3,55O,OOO an increase of
nearly 5.5OOOOc tons as compared with
the same period in 1898, and 3,0O0,O15
more than in 1896. The stocks Of coal
on hand are lighter than at any time
recently and they are falling, though
the total is not more than three or four
days supply. The demands OF con-
sumers will tax the capacity Of the
mines and the transporting companies
from this time to the end of the sea-
son, and possibly throughout the wint-
er months. The capacity of the mines
and the railroads for the th"a remdin-
ing months of the year is estimated at
about 100000 per month, which would
make the output of marketable coal
for the year more than 4700O,OOO tons.
This Is equivalent to 100000 tons
above the production of 1898 or 1897,
and 100000 tons above that of 1856.
The price of coal is fairly maintained
on the basis of about 81 per ton for
stove in New York harbor. 1t is not
month will result in an advance OH
these figures. but il is understood that
there is an indisposition on the part
of the leading companies to demand
more than $4.25 per ton. There will
be difficulty to fill orders from now
until December, ard the year, as a
whole will be one of large and profit
able business to Pennsylvsnia's great
and unique industry"
The re-establishment of the anthra-
cite industry upon a prosperous basis
will be hastened by mutual consider
alton of each others interests and
rights on the part of employers and
employees engaged IN it.

Revelation by Outzs.
Ex-Bookkeeper Outzs, of the state
dispensary has commenced his threat
ened revelations. The first Install
ment was published yesterday morn
ing, and the public is given to under
stand that there will be more to follow.
By way of introduction, Mr.. Outzs
says that during his long connection
with the dispensary, he has observed
a number of things that he knew to be
wrong. He reported these things as
he found them out to members of the
board of control. They, however, did
not take action, and considering that
he had done his full duty, he did not
see fit to carry the matter any further.
He says that on the night of the 10th
or 21st of September, T. c. Robinson
had told him that traps were being
laid for Douthit. Robinson was at the
time under the influence of liquor.
Outzs goes on to say that Chairman
Miles is "liar by his own confession" /"
having once said that he had told more
lies since he became member Of the
state board than he had told in all bis
life before. He goes on to say that
Miles had given the position of receiv-
ing clerk to his nephew, F. Elmore
Young, of Clinton, young man who
does not even know the multiplication
table. Furthermore, on the occasion
when visiting congressman were enter
tanned in Columbia, Miles, in violation
of the law, retailed from the dispensa-
ry S1O6 IS worth of champagne, wine,
rum and brandy, charging for it the
price that is asked of dispensaries rath-
er than of consumers. He mentions
several other alleged shortcomings,
and promises to give big sensations
later on. There is nothing in the first
installment, however, that is calcula-
ted to raise much of a row.

STILL No RAcE.-The question as to
whether the Columbia or Shamrock is
the fastest yacht is no nearer decision
than it was last week. There was a
heavy fog over the water last Tuesday
and the boats did not leave their an
chorage. The situation was the same
on Thursday. There was to have been
another attempt yesterday but at this
writing no news has been received.
The Columbia is still the favorite
among the American sportsmen. They
are offering odds on the Columbia, but
are getting no takers.

MCKINLEY AND THE FILIPINos.-In
a speech at Minneapolis, Mimi, last
Thursday, President Mckinley said
with reference to the Philippines:
"The future of these new possessions
is in the keeping of congress and con-
gress is the servant of the people.
That they will be retained under the
benign sovereignty of the United
States do not permit myselfto doubt.
That they will prove rich and inval-
liable heritage I feel assured"

The reader of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been alb lie to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known TO the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
