The VOlksblatte says: "Mr. George
Smith, Il quite exceptionally gifted
young man, played the g minor
concerto by Max Bruch. The young
viOlinist has, in regard to technical
education, reached an astonishing
point, and promises to become an
eminent viOlinist. His tones are
beautifully even and sure, his man
ner of bowling quiet and graceful.
The difficulties of the concerto he
overcame with surprising sureness,
Notwithstanding his tone was not
quite blameless, the natural cOnse-
Quence Of the emotion of the young
viOlinist. The ease with which he
Overcame the difficulties of Paganini's
octave studies was really astonishing,
as they are difficult even for great
viOlinist. With the necessary per-
severance the young man will surely
take an honorable position among
the viulinists of his time"
The Free Press says: "His timbre
is noble and possessed of bell-like
clearness. His playing savOrs not at
all of the studio. He well merited
the enthusiastic applause he re-
ceived."

Natural Curiosity.
"A ST..

/ Mr.. Milton Moore, of the Bald
Knob neighborhood, brought to our
Office yesterday one Of the most
curious things which we have ever
seen.
1t was the root of water maple
tree that had grown down through
the crevice i'm the wall o, well at
Mr.. Moore's place. When the inside
of the well was reached millions of
small roots, like thread, spread out
on all sides and grew In a mat about
~ feet long. 1t looked more like
hemp than it did like roots OF tree.
Mr.. Moore said that 1t was as strong
and pliable as could be until 1t dried
out.
1t was a wonderful exhibition of
the power of nature in its search for
sustenance in the dampness Of the
well.

w. F. Hallstead's Resignation.

The resignation Of General Manager
and Second Vice-Presdent w. f. Hall
stead, Of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad, takes from this
rich and prosperous road one of the
most noted and conspicuous railroad
men of the country. Mr.. Hallstead
stands today without a peer in rail-
road circles. The success which has
crowned the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad for so many
years is due largely to his superior
management.
Mr.. Halstead has from early youth
been associated with the road, start
ing as he did. a humble water boy,
only to rise to the stately and honored
position of manager and second vice.
president. His absence from the helm
will not only be missed by those who
were directly under his supervision in
this city, but also throughout the whole
system. 1t would be impossible for
any other man to become so thoroughly
identified with a road as Mr.. Hallstead
Is with the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western. He knows nearly all the en-
gines, and switches as we'll; and every
little detail which tends to identify
a successful man with railroad cir
cles.
Mr.. Hallstead and his keen, careful
ways of management will be missed by
the road he helped to build with pick
and shovel and afterward pushed by
rare executive skill to wealth and pros
perity.

Democratic Opera Boutfe.

Our friends, the enemy have con-
structed a brave platform. 1t bristles
with reform declarations and is as
full of highly moral platitudes as
gourd is full of seeds. One can always
tell the state of the Democratic party's
hunger for spoils by the thickness with
which it spreads on its platform
promises to be good.
If promising were performing, the
Democratic party would undoubtedly
be the most successful administrative
agency that the world has ever seen.
But the history of our country teaches
that it is one thing for this party to
coin high sounding rhetoric and quite
another to effect practical results in
line with it's fulsome professions. Up
on the two occasions in recent
years that it has had a chance
to show it's ability in admins
tering the affairs of this commonwealth
its performance has been hesitant, lame
and Disappointing. In the legislature
it's representatives with few exceptions
have been as deep in the mud as the
Republican members they criticize
have been in the mire. In the execu-
tive office, however creditablc its in
tentions. it work has been rarely bet
ter and generally worse than that 1t
holds up to condemnation because Of
Republican derivation.
There are good men in the Demo-
cratic party leadership in Pennsyl-
vania. but they are in a minority. The
party as a whole is fit only to serve
as a horrible example of misdirected
energy.

Where Americans Bear Comparison.

Tie esteemed Washington Post
points a timely moral in connection
with the Dreyfus affair when it says:
IF it was damnable in Esterhazy
to sell the bordereau to the represen-
tatives of foreign and possibly hostile
power what shall we say of those who
bought his infamy and soiled their
hands with its hateful contact? If the
wretch who sold secret information to
the representative of another coun-
try is a base scoundrel, how are we to
describe the parties who bribed him
TO commit that infamy? Even our own
laws make criminals of both the briber
and the bribed. In the philosophy of
modern civilization, the receiver Of
stolen goods is little, If any, less culp-
able than the thief. Do these evil
IDENTIFY just rules apply only to individ-
ais, and do they lapse when 1t comes
TO international affairs? We imprison
the malefactor who steals a piece OF
jewelry-pernaps to save his children
from starvation-and we punish the
fence who purchases from him the
proceeds of his criminal activity. Is
there another law for the diplomat
who goes to a foreign capital and there
entices subject of the power to which
he is accredited to dishonor himself
and to betray his people anu his gov
ernment? These diplomats are guests,
the beneficiarles OF distinguished cour-
tesies and immunities, Are they not
as much upon their honor as any vlsi-
lor to a private residence would be?
Think of such a visitor. entertained
as friend. trusted as a gentleman,
covered with attentions and hospltali-
ties.--think Of him in the act of cor
ruptinE a servant OF the house TO rob
his master and to divulge the family
secrets! Is there a decent and self
respecting man in the world who would
not hold him In scorn, contempt and
norror2 Are these practices recognized
Bs permissible under the cover OF dlplo-
macy7 DO nations set up embassies,

the understanding that they are to

employ spies, and traitors, and sneak
thieves, and that the vile business,
which, outside Of diplomacy, would be
treated as the basest crime, IL to be
regarded as legitimate? Truly, 1t
seems to us that, IL this be true-and
certain features Of the Dreyfus incl
dent appear to warrant that conclu-
sion-the thing we call diplomacy
stands more in need of cleansing and
reformation than the most loathsome
slum In all the world"
These words of denunciation are not
overdrawn. Much was once said in
foreign capitals in derision of Amer
ica's "hayseed diplomacy" our rep
resentatives in European courts used
to have rather an unenviable time OF
1t, showed to one side and socially snub-
bed by the more gaily appareled
funkeys of monarchical institutions.
But the American hayseed diplomatist
was at least a gentleman and a man OF
honor. Although frank of speech and
plain In manner, he was the kind of
man who didn't have to be kept under
detective surveillance for fear that he
would steal the property of the nation
to which he was accredited or con.
spire to do injury to his hosts. And
in later years these many qualities
have not failed of proper recognition.
The so-called new diplomacy of direct
speech and candid negotiation is all
most wholly of American inspiration
and evidence is accommodating that the
American fashion thus set is gaining
rapidly on the old continental style Of
intricate intrigue and deception.

Properly Placing the Blame.

life unpleasant for Secretary Alger. In
the course Of a series of very direct
and pointed attacks he makes citation
of the figures which follow:
I'm 1863, under the administration of
Edwin NJ. Stanton, the year in which
the Civil war developed to it's greatest
proportions, when with million men
in arms the business of the National
government was far more extensive
and complicated than ever before or
since, the annual register of the War
department gave the following figures
of it's civilian clerical force:
