The present Legislative system offers
peculiar complications to the student
of Pennsylvania politics. The fact is
that no provision exists for filling any
vacancies which may occur from this
time until January. The terms of the
members of the last Legislature eX-
pired on Saturday. The speaker of the
house must make the call for special
election to fill vacancies. AS there Is
now no speaker of the house, no elec-
tion can be ordered and the vacancy
or vacancies will remain until after
the organization of the legislature.
The death of Representative Stewart,
of Philadelphia. thus makes the ma
jority 121, instead of 12S, votes neces
sary to elect Il United States senator
at the coming legislative session. Mr..
Stewart's successor will doubtless be
elected in February

Trade Relations
With Germany

A GOOD DEAL OF snYiciy seems 10 have been
~ wasted with reference To the trade relations
between the United States and Germany.
II will he remembered that fear was ex.
pressed some months ago that certain trade re-
slrictioNs proposed in Germany might seriously
interrupt the commercial relations between that
country and the United States, and especially de.
crease exports to that country in agricultural
products. Figures Just issued by the treasury
bureau OF statistics show that our exports to
Germany in the ten months ending with October,
1900, were S27 100000 greater than those In the
corresponding months OF last year, an increase Of
SS,00ooO0, gain of over 10 per cent.
OF The forty articles which compose the bulk
OF our experts to Germany more than two.thirds
show an increase in 1900 as compared with 1890.
Those which show the principal decrease are hog
products, corn, wheat, fertilizers and certain
lines OF machinery Those which show an in.
crease are cotton, flour, fruits, tobacco, timber,
mineral oils, cotton seed oil, oil-cake and meal,
tallow, paraflin, rosn, turpentine, coal. copper,
builders hardware, scientific and electrical in
stuments, agricultural implements, sewing ma.
chimes, cars and furniture. Copper shows an in
crease OF more than $4,000, 900, mineral oils, ST.
OOO00o, tobacco and agricultural implements
nearly 81 100000 each and manufactured cotton
over $2s,O00,0O0, while in The list OF articles
which show decrease there are but two cases
in which is the falling of is as much as $1,000.
600, corn showing reduction OF little more
than sl,0o0,000 and wheat little more than
50, ,O00OA.

The explanation made by the late
Senator Davis of his success in pub
lie life is instructive. He was law
yer with large general practice,
which fully occupied his time during
the business hours of the day, and
wanting something to do at home
evenings. he took UP the study of in
ternational law. For years he pur-
sued this pastime attentively until he
became the foremost American att
thority on the subject. Thus, when
public Office came to. him, he was
ready. This Is the era of the speciai-
list. The man who does not try to
master some particular branch OF
knowledge is likely to remain all his
life commonplace and obscure.

The southern apologists for negro
dsfranchisement assert that the black
man must lose his vote because, as
found in the south, he Is ignorant and
does not know how to use 1t. This.
with individual exceptions, is general
ly conceded. But it is also true Of
many southern whites. sWhat af-
fronts the country's conscience is the
drawing of an arbitrary color dis
tinctiOn.

Notwithstanding the presence of a
war tax of 81 on each barrel of 36
gallons. the consumption of beer in
the United States last year increased

year preceding. or about per cent.
There does not appear to be an over
