Political.

Electing lot Of men TO make laws
for You, and then having to shame them
into doing what is right, or rather into
not doing what is wrong is an odd state
Of affairs
At Scranton, last Saturday, Judge
Archibald granted writ of quo warran-
TO against Recorder Moir, formerly
Mayor, to appear in court on March 10
and show by what authority he az
sumes the office Of Recorder, to which
Gov. Stone has appointed him under the
provision Of the ripper bill BY these
proceedings he will have to assert the
constitutionality Of the measure.
The proceedings are at the suggestion
Of Attorney General Elkin at the petit
tion Of former State Senator Mcdonald,
whose coming into the case gave an
early impression that the movement
was Stalwart one to secure decision
quickly where the sentiment was friend
ly 10 the operation of the new charter.
The report that ex-senator w. n.
Andrews may be candidate for State
Treasurer Is interesting. This is the
same Andrews who was recently read
outof the Stalwart faction Of the Repub-
lican party. II Is to be presumed shat
what he wants is a vindication, and
that his candidacy is meant to give the
rank and file an opportunity to pass
opinion upon his party standing Well,
Andrews has a precedent Senator
Quay once, when his hold had slipped
ON the party machine. threw down the
gauntlet TO his enemies and became %
candidate for State Treasurer He also
became State Treasurer ard stepped
from the treasury into the United States
Senate.
IL il not meant to infer that because
Senator Quay did this thing Andrews
will do it, too. But Andrews il a clever
politician. and his audacity may win.
In any event. hiacandidacy will be vel
coined as giving opportunity for the
plain people to say what they think
about his party loyalty and personal
popularity. Andrews does not appear
TO think that Stone. Elkin, Durham and
Beacon are final authority upon matters
political or Republican, and Andrews
may be right. Meantime the quarrel
among the leaders may give Quay and
Penrose more than one bad half hour.

hopes were dashed to the ground by the
sudden appearance Of the blizzard on

every meteorological prophet in our

The oil rig on the old j. G. Campbell

WASHINGTON.

Wherever Pennsylvanians met in
Washington, last Saturday. words were
spoken, which, if the late Christopher
L. Magee could have heard them,
would have convinced him that he had
gained the highest prize acheivable by
a human being. the unqualified good
opinion Of all his fellow men with who
he came into contact. Men who were
on the other side during the bitter Sen
atorial fight had only good words for
him.
After proceedings lasting six days,
the extraordinary session of the Senate
was declared adjourned sine die last
Saturday afternoon. During the session
practically no business except that Of
executive character was transacted
The session was called by the President
that the senate might have opportu-
nifty to confirm appointments made at
at the beginning of the new admins
tration. That business accomplished,
there was nothing further for the Sen
ate to do
At the opening of Saturdays session
the President pro tenn. Senator Frye,
was inducted into Office, the oath being
administered by Vice President Roose-
welt.
Hon. John H. Mitchell, the recently
elected Senator from Oregon, was pre-
sented by his colleague, Senator Simon,
and took the oath of office. He got
cordial reception from his colleagues on
the floor, many of whom had served in
the Senate, with him, and from his
friends in the galleries, who greeted his
appearance with hearty applause. Sew
eral baskets Of beautiful roses and
jonquils, arranged in elaborate designs,
adorned the desk Of Mr.. Mitchell. Mr..
Mitchell's IS years service in the Senate
and his admirable qualities as man
and legislator, have made him popular
among his colleagues
Senator Carter's magnificent oratori-
cal achievement should not pass into
history without proper recognition by
the press Of the country. The Montana
philanthr6pist held the floor for the
twelve hours between midnight and
noon. 1t is delight to read the report
of his remarks in the Congressional
Record The flow of his eloquence was
irrtor-asted only when he courteously
yielded to questions or TO interDolated
statements by other Senator'S, or to nee
essary business not connected with the
bill he was discussing. His good humor
tD1s -issar-r+rrr DaDfr, f1ia determination
infexible, his irony superb and his vo-
cabnlary unlimited When Mr.. Carter
stood aside at last to allow rne Senate
to engage in the concluding ceremonies
of the session and to adjourn sine die, he
had saved to the Treasury fifty million
dollars Few orators have ever spoken
to better purpose, or showed greater
knowledge Of all the little streams, big
streams, dry streams and wet streams
that flow through the United States (or
otherwise) and for the alleged improve
ment Of which public money was asked
OF Congress.

HON. 6. l.. MAGEE.
Christopher Lyman Magee one of the
State Senators from Pittsburg, died mt
his temporary residence in Harrisburg.
last Friday, aged SO years
Senator Magee had been gradually
but surely sinking since Thursday,
February %, when he was informed
that the Ripper Bill had finally passed
the House. During the desperate fight
on that measure he had maintained that
it could not pass, and was greatly in
terested in the progress of the contest.
When he was told Of the result he sank
back on his pillow and seemed to lose
all energy and interest in everything.
From that hour until his death Friday
afternoon he did not read or ask to have
not discuss public affairs or any OF the
subjects in which he had previously
taken such great interest. From that
hour his great recuperative powers
seemed TO have deserted him, and each
succeeding day found him weaker than
on the day before He rolled aud tossed
in his bed and could not secure rest
On Sunday his stomach began to resist
food On Monday it would not retain
anything. Then the members of his
family were summoned.
Senator Magee's illness may be dated
from about two years ago, although
during many years previous he was n
great sufferer Of hemorrhoids. During
the legislative session of tS9S-99 he was
very sick iuan, but continued TO per-
form has duties until Adjournment on
April n, 1899
He was born and raised in Pttsburg
and took an interest in local and state
politics, almost from boyhood
His body was brought TO his home on
Forbes st. Pittsburg, Saturday, and the
funeral was from Trinity Church, Sixth
Ave. Tuesday.
