NO PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH.
A Railroad Company Orders Train
 Crews to Speak English.

Railroad Gazette.
 The recent order of the Lehigh Valley Railroad requiring the crews of shifting engines to use only the English language while on duty meets with universal ap- probation here. The order says that "un- der no circumstances shall Pennsylvania German be spoken and it is said to have beea issued for the reason that recently serious collision nearly resulted be- cause conductor gave directions to his crew in this language. and a brakeman ed cars to the wrong track. As the rules are printed in English the railroad off, cials are plainly in the right in insisting that this language shall be exclusively used by its employees while on duty.
 What kind of a language is this Penn- sylvania German tongue which requires such an unusual order to be issued to railroad crews? It is a strange combina- tion of English and the German dialect spoken In Northern Bavaria
 A quarter of a century ago it was said that this language was dying out and would soon be no more. Such prophecies. however, have proven to be false, for 1t is now spoken more widely than ever be- vanla, and probably million more who have emigrated from Pennsylvania, to the Middle We t, use 1t In daily conversation. Even in cites like Allentown and Reading no merchant can be successful in business unless hls employees are proficient in its use. on the trolley lines and in the rail- road yards employees may be heard em- pioying 1t constantly in social conversa- tion These men speak English well. but 1t Is easier for them to chat in this strange dialect. which is governed by no rules Of grammar. 1t seems that they are using 1t even whon on duty, but the naIety or the public demands that this p,a p,racaice snail be stopped and the em- that the Lehigh Valley Railroad has done good thing in issuing the order.

THE coMMrrrrr,s ApDREsg.

The committee appointed under resolu- ton of the Constitutional Convention 10 prepare an address to the people setting forth the changes made by the new ir- strument and it's general superiority to the old has completed its work. The ad- dress will be found in today's Advertiser and the people generally owe the com mittee vote of thanks for the splendid
 presentation of the benefits to follow
 from ratification of the new Constitution.
 It is a document that should be kept for use during the coming campaign as an
 answer to every objection that can be raised against the new Constitu-
 ton. Tn addition to this great help to those who wish to know something of the
 new Constitution, the address carefully states every change that has been made in the present one. so that every voter can tell exactly the difference between the two instruments. When they have this information before them they can easily see wherein it is to the benefit of all the people of the State for the new Constitution to be ratified. The state ments as to the various clauses are par ticularly convincing and especially as to the suffrage, the point on which the op- position are chiefly trying to rally their forces. Take this address and read 1t caerfully and then put 1t away for future use Il is an invaluable document, and ought to reach the hands of every voter in the State

antiseptic treatment is early applied.
 Many passages in other reports on sur gicai experiences in the South African war. while interesting, deal with other parts of the body, and so do not nave eevn an indirect relation to the fresi' dents case. These might to aqyantage' however, be read by enthusiastic a1Vo- cates of war. The surgeon s story or now he treated wounds of the head, lnVolHing destruction of brain tissues: especiaIly of young and innocent boys, IS most im- pressive. Wounds in the eye were oI Ire quen occurrence, the reports descrlpins a case in which both eyes were lost, the bullet passing through the orbit ana cut ting the optic nerve. But this chapter on bullets makes most unpleasant reaolng.
 Some discussions is here given as to the possibility of better supervision or concealed firearms. To be effective, such a movement should have to be national in its scope, and the customs inspection service on the border line and at the ports of entry would have to make care- full scrutiny of arrivals. In the city or Washington today any person who pur- chases a pistol must leave with the mer- chant his name and address, but there Is no way of knowing that he gives his real name, and so the formality is of only re- mote usefulness. Something approaching a permission or license to carry concealed firearms. it is believed by some people, would be beneficial not only as a prevent i've of assassination, but for a generally wholesome effect on the community. That far too many pistols are owned and car- ried by all class of people seems to be generally acknowledged.

On Monday upon opod,,i iiavorable report of the Presidents G0nditlon rrices were better and on ,Ihursday stocks generally regaincd near- " all that they had lost. On Friday, however, the country was shocked by the news rom Buffalo that the President had had sinking spell and that his co1- uitlon was ala ming. There was another slump in prices and this time many stocks sold lower than they did upon the announce ement that the President had been shot. Before the dawn of Satur. day the President had passed away, and IS mark of respect the London Stock Exchahge and the New York Stock Ex- change held no session that day. In the meantime Mir.

 Ours is indeed wonderful country. There was great deal of talk about an- archistic plots, and it was a terrible shock to have had one President n.ur- dered and new and untried man in- stalled in few days time Yet this tragedy and this change in adnlinistra- tion were without any injury 10 .he business If the country. Every thing goes on as usual, people are not hyster- ical and this great republic is herself again. We doubt if there is ancthcr country in the world that would have stood such shock without any disast- rous results. It shows upon what a broad basis the business of this country rests. It shows. more than that. that tic people have implicit faith in the Re. public and it's institutions.

WHAT TT IS.

The SheIly-Johnston-St Stallings combine at Birmingham is simply an agreement to go pot hunting for the seat of General Pettus and the Governorship next year. The defects or merits of the new Consti- tuition have as little to do with the atti- tude of this combine as the man in the moon. It is not at all disagreeable to the friends of the new Constitution to have them show their hands so plainly. Stall lings and Johnston have been against the Constitutional Convention from the be- ginning, General Shelley never took any prominent part in calling the Convention. It is simply a combine of a defeated can didate for Senator and two defeated can- didates for Governor, to reverse the peo- ple's verdict in the last primaries. The peopIe can stand 1t, If they can.

A MISFIT.

Some negro leaders have called for a conference at Birmingham to organize opposition to ratification. But it will be hard to encourage the negroes to train with the other conference.
 Ex-Governor Johnston gives out in his pronunciamento, which evidently is in tended as the platform of the conference, that his main opposition to the new Con stitution is 1t does not deal severely enough in disfranchisement of the negro He argues if only the new Constitution is killed, 1t will give those of his way of thinking a better chance to go further against the negro. The negro voters af- ter this. will hardly be induced to work amicably in double harness with the first conference at Birmingham. By the way, if ex-Governor Johnstons crowd are going to do so much worse by the negroes, and object so bitterly to the old soldier and descendant clauses, which are for the beneft of white folks, how is he to keep from placing heavier burdens on the white people by his plan when he fixes up his plan of disfranchisement.

The Advertiser is glad to note the aI- most universal note of kindness in the tone of Southern newspapers in speaking of both the late President and his suc- cessor. The South had good occasion to think and speak we'll of MT. Mckinley, both as man and as President, with out regard to differences in politics The same spirit of fairness is apparent among Southern men and newspapers in speaking of the new President. That he will be Republican President and up hold the policy of his party Is to be ex- pected. but his history gives us no reason to believe that he will in any way dis criminate against the South or the South ern people, or that he will allow himself swayed by sectional considerations. So far as we have observed the sentiment in the South is that the new President shall not be judged prematurely or condemned without reason. When he gives just grounds for criticism he will receive it. but not before. if we may judge by the way he has been received in all parts of the country,

AN UNCoMPLIMENTARY AP-
 PEAL,

Do the opponents of ratification credit the people with common sense. when they tell them the citizens right to register is absolutely at the mercy of three reg istrars? It Is not within reasonable prob ability that registrars will be appointed who could be induced to prevent old SOL diers. and their descendants. or any man of good charater who Understands the duties of citizenship, from registering. If, however, they did the new Consti- tuition. in that event, gives the rejected person a right of appeal to jury of his neighbors. When man puts such an ar gument at you. and tells you your right to vote is endangered. 1t is roundabout way of telling you he thinks you have a character that cannot be trusted to your nelGhbors.

 thrown into great trouble. The new Con- stitution. by its plain language, destroys all pretexts for construction, on which like usurpation might be inspired in fu- ture. The ex-Governor in his anxiety to ind points of attack upon the new Con- stitution, forgot that his references to

In describing the attempt on the life of President Jackson then Senator Tyler, who was afterwards President, and who was present winds up with the remark that Old Hickory "got into a furious rage and said some things unnecessarily" We can we'll believe it. Jackson was famous for saying things, and there were times when his language burnt holes in the at- mosphere. And we can pretty we'll im- aglne what would have been the result if he had got at the assassin with the cane he carried.
