Washburn and Judas.

DR. Swallow in the last issue of his
PENNSYLVANIA Methodist goes for
Senator Washburn in this way:
Senator Washburn was elected to the
State Senate from the Crawford district
two wears ago by the Democrats, Popu-
lists and ProhibitiOnists. The issues on
which he was elected and for which he
stood in the Senate two years ago were
i-Quayism, popular government as
opposed to bossism, and the prohibition
of the liquor traffic He is Unlversa-
list preacher. He has been held in high
esteem by his constituents, who contl-
dentially believed that he was invul-
nerable to bribes, and whoever else
might be bought by Quay gold, he
could not.
That he should come to Harrisburg as
hold-over Senator, and ON the eve or
the great battle be the first to go over
to the enemy, is a great disappointment
to his friends.
There are conditions where an hon
est change Of opinion or conviction
ould lead a man to change his course
of conduct, but these do not exist IN the
case of Mr.. WashbuIn. His column
and half or attempted justification
does not furnish even a thin veneer for
his objectionable perfidy.
eft is a sad reflection that the
only preacher in the Senate should thus
stab, by his easily explained treachery,
not only the confidence of his constlt-
uents and friends. among the latter
of whom the writer has hitherto been
proud to number himself, but, worst OF
all, he INJURIES the cause of Christ, ana
casts a reproach upon the church and
ministry of every name
1T is true Mr.. Washburn believes III
universal salvation, but he Will learn
that nothing Will save him from the an
measured contempt, mingled with pity,
of those who trusted him only 20 be be-
trayed He does not believe IN hell
He will learn what it is to carry about
in his own conscience, "A fire, the smoke
of the torment of which will ascend for
ever His act gave birth IN ms hear'
TO the worm that dieth not. Nothing
that he can receive in exchange for MS
honor will compensate him, nor remove
the stigma brought upon himself and
his family.
Judas had the decency to offer to re-
turn the price of his treason and when
it was refused with, What is that to us,
see thou to that, to go out and hang
himself on a rope as rotten as had been
his conscience, which, breaking, he tell
and was burst asunder. Better such q
stencil producing episode than that emit
| ted from living corpse.

WASHINGTON.

A great constitutional issue was rals-
ed Thursday in the House Of Represent
atlves on the occasion of its first session
in the twentieth century. The radical
element among the House Republicans,
who favor cutting down the represent
alton from the Southern States in which
franchise is abridged, suffered defeat
because a number of their colleagues re-
fused to act with them.
The issue was precipitated quite un-
expectedly The leaders had decreed
that the reapportionmeut bill should be
taken up. but before it could be called
Mr.. Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, offered,
as matter of privilege, resolution
reciting the alleged ahridgement OF the
suffrage in Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina and North Carolina and direct
ing the Committee ON Census to lnves-
tigate and report the facts to the House.
in order that a constitutional basis
OF representation could be established
for those States.
The resolution created a sensation.
1t was surprise even to several Oh the
Republican leaders The leaders on
the Democratic side fought in vain to
head off the resolution with points OF
order, but the speaker ruled against
them. They then began fillbuster
openly avowing that they would hgnt
every proposition looking to the re-
duction of representation from the
Southern states to the bitter end.
Re-apportionment was discussed in the
House of Representatives last week ana
during the session of Saturday Repre-
sentative Littlefeld, of Maine, bitterly
attacked Representative Hopkins OF
Illinois, and his bill.
When Congress met in December in
quiry among Republican Represent
atives from Pennsylvania showed thai
all of them except Mr.. Sibley, OF Ven
ango. and Mr.. Showalter, of Butler,
favored keeping the membership OF the
House at 357, the present number luis
now stated that through the influence
of Senator Penrose these Representa-
tives. who are adherents of Col. Quay
will favor the passage OF the Burlelgh
bill, which fixes the membership at 3S''
and increases Pennsylvania represent
alton from 30 TO 32.-H Hall in Pitts
burgh Times
By a majority of 63 the House, Tues
day, adopted the Burleigh Bill which
fixes its membership to 3s6 (an increase
of 29) and gives Pennsylvania two more
members Allegheny county will be
entitled to members. DR.. Showalter
oted against the bill.
One objection to both apportion-
ment bills now before the House is that
under each Louisiana gains member
and this is strengthened so far as the
Burleigh bill is concerned by the fact
hat it gives North Carolina another
Representative 1t is stated that the
Louisiana constitution, which goes into
effect shortly, will reduce the voting
population of the State to about AZ, 900.
This is less than the average vote in a
single district in many Notheran States
and there is strong feeling against
giving more representation to those
States which haye so outrageourly re
stricted the right of franchise.

mings was selected as teller on the part
of the Senate to conduct the election OF
y. S. Senator.
The Governors message was read III
both Houses that morning, and 1T was

the popular vote, the re-apportionment
of the State into Congressional, Senator
ial and Legislative districts, better laws
governing primary elections; more
stringent oleomargarine legislation and
the completion of the Capitol, and his
exhibit of the finances Of the State
showed a million and a half in the

sented as candidates for L. S. Senator.

surplus .-....... ''..' ''''-'
This surplus of single year says
Edward Byrn in the ''Sclentlfc
American is more than seven times as
much as the entire receipts of the gov
ernment in 1900, and ten times as much
as its entire expenses in that year. To-
dav the United States is by far the rich
est country in the world. Its wealth
exceeds that of the United Kingdom
which is the next in rank, by about
go OOO. O0O. 600. In 1900 our population
was 1908. 4S3: now it is 16, 5O4, 199.
The sixteen states have grown to forty
five. and our territory expanded from
900. $50 square miles to 3, S46, 095 square
miles. At the opening of the revolutlon-
sry war there we're but 40 newspapers.
In 1850 these had grown to 2,o36, ana
to-day we have 90 SOC. Note also the
following growth in national wealth.
According TO the eighth census, that
wealth was in 1889, S619, ,9U, PAT; IN 1881

addition which the last ten years has
made to the national wealth is f25,0OO,

Mr. Mulhall himself as really stupen-
dous." Expressing the growth OF TINS

he SAYS it means that for every day IN
every year of the past decade the United
States has grown daily a. the rate OF

rem. %. 900 in acres of farms, SI,5O0, 0OO

of the twelfth censns, this saving OF
$25, 600 600, 900 in ten years is a greater
saving than all the people of the west
e1n continent were able to make from
the discovery by Columbus to the break
ing out of the civil war, which state
ment seems justified by the figures al

HAPPY MOTHERS

Few women if any shrink from the

How rarely ths mothers strength keeps
