- ELDOM has impudence gone
~ further than when Senator
~ William Drury and Represen-
tative Reynolds mustered up
the audacity on Wednesday to name
Congressman Connell as their candi-
date for United States senator. Their
effrontery was the more marked in
view of the fact that these two legis-
lators from adjoining counties had been
the most conspicuous tricksters in the
whole senatorial canvass. Each had
won his nomination and election on
the most specific and unqualified
pledges of party regularity. and each
had flasrantly betrayed the trust Inn
posed in him by the regular Republi-
cans in his district. A nomination
from such a source is an insult.
Ordinarily magnanimity in the hour
of triumph is considered graceful and
appropriate. Where a contest has been
openly wased and the victory has been
won by honest methods, II is an indi-
cation OF small mindedness for the
winners TO sloat over their adver-
saries. But in the campaign which has
just been brought to a termina ton at
Harrisburg, a different rule needs to
be established as an object lesson in
honest politics. The rank perfldy there
made manifest and the inexcusable
disregard of solemn pledges must be
punished as a matter of justice to
those who have remained steadfast and
loyal Treason is made respectable
when rewarded and fidelity is dis
courased by the political killing OF the
fatted calf for the renegade and de-
serter.
The time has come in our politics
when a line must be drawn. and men
like Drury and Reynolds are proper
subjects OF demarcation. This is not
said vindictiveiy nor in any spirit of
revenge; 1t is said as matter of
political necessity. The shame which
has come to Luzerne and Lackawanna
counties by reason of repeated and
notorious violations of political agree
ments will continue to cover these
counties with odium so long as the
olive branch is substituted for the
rawhidc

THE FOLLOWING is told Of an American
gentleman who was recently stopping with
his wife at the Hotel Cecil, in London, says a
London correspondent On their first evening
there he happened to retire somewhat later than
his spouse, Arriving at the door OF what he
imagined to be his room and finding it locked
he tapped and Galley "IIoneyl" No answer
came and lie called again and more loudly.

somewhat uneasy, he shouted the endearing term

HOW UNCLE SAM LOST HI
MERCHANT MARINE.
From the New York Sun.

Few persons realize exactly how it was that
the United States lost its merchant marine. In
general way it is known that the civil war cost
us our prestige upon the seas and that compar
atively speaking, the situation has in no way
improved. just before the war We were the
second power in the commerce upon the ocean
and the indications were that we were about 10
move into u position Of primacy. The oonfed'
crate priyateers forced our shipping to seek pro-
lection under other flags. Before the war had
ended a complete change had come over the
building Of ships, Wood, had given place to
iron This country was without facilities for
this kind OF ship construction and il was because
OF this fact that the United States were lett
behind.

Hon. Harvie Jordan, of Georgia,
President Of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, has issued q
call to the cotton producers of the
Southern States, asking them to meet
at the county seat of every county in
the South on Saturday, April 6, for
the purpose Of adopting some plan to
ourtail the acreage of the cotton crop
for the season Of 1901 and 1902.
President Jordan urges immediate ao-
tion by the farmers before the seed
FOR the next crop are placed in the
ground. He claims that the planters
will not be able to meet their obliga-
tions assumed for guano, mules, and
other farming materials, with the price
Of cotton 6 cents, which he confidently
predicts will result from large acre
age.
