A RIDICULOUS THREAT.

As was told in our dispatches yester-
fractional night Of the Republican party
in Pennsylvania. Quay managed the
campaign of Judge Pennypacker for
the nomination for Governor. Attorney
General Flkin managed his own cam
paign for that nomination. Quay won
control of the Committee on Contested
Seats. Thai put Elkin out of humcr,
and he shook his fist in Quay's face,
so the dispatches say, and exclaimed:
You may pack the convention and
make your nomination, but you will
have to reckon with the people of
Pennsylvania in November" 1t is al
legged that al this threat Quay grew
red in the face.
But why should he have grown red
in the face? Did he thing the people of
the Keystone state would rise up and
smite him at the call of Elkln? And
who is Elk:n2 The dispatches say that
until he got it into his head that his
party ought to nominate him for Gov
.
Having been a lieutenant of the re-
doubtable boss it is not reasonable to
suppose that the people consider him
any better than the boss himself
Doubtless they would suspect him of
packing convention just as quickly
as they would suspect Quay of doing
such a thing, Therefore it was a ride
ulous threat which Elkin made
One of the leading Republican papers
of Philadelphia spoke of the two fac
lions of the Republican party that met
at Harrisburg to nominate a state
ticket as the two factions of the con-
scienceless gang which rules this
state" and said that each was schooled
in political trickery, devoid of honor
and desperate with lust of power. AS
Stunning that the paper in question
sized up the two factions correctly it
Is not likely that the people will be
filled with virtuous indignation be-
cause the Quay faction triumphed over
the Ell1in faction. The chances are
that their Indignation will be directed
against both factions of the conscience
less gang, particularly if the Democrats
nominate q ticket which commands
their respect. The Democrats have a
splendid opportunity to wrest the state
from Republican control. If they have
the right kind of leadership they will
elect the next Governor.

THE TRAMP auEsTInN.

The National Conference on Charities
and Corrections, in session recently at
Detroit, asked President Roosevelt to
appoint national commission to in
vestigate the tramp question. 1t will,
Of course, be necessary for Congress
to authorize such a commission before
1t can be appointed by the President,
even If it is deemed desirable to in
quire into the why's and wherefores of
the existence of Weary Willie. Mean
while we have heretofore seen that
Congress is rather given to the COM
mission creating habit. 1t likes to fur
nish gentlemen of it's own body or their
political friends with easy and good
paying jobs at the expense of the gov
ernment
But is 1t in the least likely that a
national commission could put the
public in possession of any facts bear
ing on the tramp problem that are not
already we'll known? We know that we
have the tramp with us; that he is
generally vagabond and more than
apt to be a thief; that he will not
work; that he renders no equivalent
for what he consumes If he can help
it; that he is dirty of person and is a
scatterer of disease, and that the Grim
inal tramp is capable of any sort of
villainy
There are instances, of course, in
which the tramp is an honest work
man out of a job, but in such cases he
does not remain a tramp long At this
juncture, when there is work for every
body, there are probably very few hon.
est workmen ION the road" Neverthe-
less the estimated number of tramps
is as large now as ever before. The
prosperity of the country has had no
effect upon the genuine tramp, except
possibly to make his begged or stolen
meals more regular.
Probably every state in the union has
its anti-tramp laws. The trainers of
these laws studied the tramp question
as it applies to their several sections,
and adopted what to them seemed the
best solution of it.
Could the national tramp commission
ascertain and explain to us what
makes a man lazy. what makes him
prefer a life of vagabondage to one of
honest industry? Unless it can do this,
and tell us the remedy for laziness
that will fit all individual cases, there
is not much hope that the commission
would be of any real service in assist
ing to a solution of the tramp ques-
ton. But it might afford some nice
vacation junkets to several of our over
worked congressman.

A Celery CaIneIia.

While speaking of the serio-comic
side of stage life recently. says the
New York Times, Miss Clara Morris
told the following story as an expert
ence of her own:
Somewhere in the wide world" she
said, there is an actor-and a good
one-who never eats celery without
thinking of me. 1t was years ago,
when 1 was playing Camille In the
first scene, you will remember, the
unfortunate Almond takes a rose from
Camille as a token of love.
sc had almost reached that point,
when, as 1 glanced down. I saw that
the flower was missing from it's ac-
customed place on my breast
What could I do? On the flower
hung the strength of the scene. How
ever 1 continued my lines in an alb
stracted fashion, and began a still
hunt for that rose or substitute My
gaze wandered around the stage. On
the dinner table was some celery.
Moving slowly toward it, I grasped the
celery and twisted the tops into a
rose form. Then 1 began the fateful
lines:
Take this flower; the life of a ca
melia is short-if held an caressed, it
will fad in a morning or an evening
Hardly able to control himself, he
spokes his lines, which ran: 1t is a
cold, scentless flower. 1t is a strange
flower
Il agreed with him"

His Bug Already Classified.

AS the stogie man stood at the end
of the bar he chuckled to himself and
blew clouds of smoke until the mixer
had serious thoughts of sending in a
call for the fire department, says the
New York Times. Fortunately the
brokers' clerk and the meek man came
in together and the oracle let it out.
Got a laugh on that college pro-
fessor up my way. His reg'lar graft
is anatomy, you know; but he makes
a side issue of zoology in general
specially insects and bugs. Regular
bug hunter-one of these fellers that
chase butterflies and such with a
young fish net, and impales the speci-
mems on a big-headed pin, and, as
though that wasn't bad enough. insults
the poor creatures by writing unpro-
nonunceable names under EN-.
We'll he was returning from church
with his family last Sunday when he
discovered a new and singular insect
on the front doorstep. He was natur-
ally mighty pleased, and, forming his
handkerchief into net. he bounced
down upon and succeeded in captur-
ing it,
Bring the microscope. children
says he, and tell your ma to hurry;
l want her to look at it. I'm sure it
belongs to the hemiptera class, and is
a new specimen. Here, Charlie, put
your eye to the glass and tell me what
you see.'
"'Oh. pa, amt it splendid! It's got
four wings, eight eyes and don't 1t
sparkle! Red and green and yellow
oh, it's getting away amt it?'
Then it amt dead!' cried the pro-
fessor in ecstacy. He's so neasighted
that he passes his next-door neighbor
on the street without noticing him. I
wasn't quite sure whether 1t moved or
not. Let me look! Yes, think after
all, it belongs to the genus pentamera
the antennae have that peculiar
flexible look; and yet, now that I look
again, the eyes seem to indicate that
it is a phytocoridae, in which case 1t
will be very destructive to your mas

trust him with the paregoric without
knowing what he was going to do with
it, he's so absentminded.
"'Well, 1 guess not, says she, look
ing with much interest at the new
specimen. I paid 81 for that insect,
as you call it, last week, to wear on
my new bonnet, and it must have
dropped off when 1 came in. 1t belongs
to the genus millinerae. and couldn't
be any deader if it had been baked for
a century. Science will have to get on
without 1t, professor; it's already class

A WELL EoUIPPED JUDGE.

A dispatch in Wednesdays Morning
News stated that Judge Roberts of
Eastman would be a candidate before
the State Convention for the vacancy
on the bench of the Supreme Court
created by the resignation of Judge
Lewis. Judge Roberts is judge of the
Superior Court of the Oconee circuit,
and in that position has won a wide
reputation as an able jurist. 1t is not
at all surprising that he should be
urged by his friends for the place, or
that many who do not know him per-
sonaly should favor his candidacy
There is no question but that he would
add greatly TO the strength of the
Supreme Court. He is not only learned
in the law, but he is so familiar with
the code of the state that its pro-
visions are as we'll known to him as
the letters of the alphabet.
Judge Roberts has what is known
as a judicial understanding that
few lawyers have. Some of the bright
est members of the legal profession
can only see one side of a case. Judge
Roberts mind is so evenly balanced
that he can see both sides, can sift
what is true from what is false in the
evidence and thus arrive at correct
decisions.
The indications are that there will
be quite large number of candidates
for the position, but we feel confident
that if Judge Roberts permits his
name to go before the convention he
will have a very warm support. And
it will not be confined to his friends in
his judicial circuit. 1t will include
thoughtful men in all parts of the
state who are desirous of putting on
the supreme bench men possessing in
the highest degree qualities most de-
sirable in a judge.

What the Governor of Georgia Said
to the Governor of Tennessee.

When Gov. Gambler of Georgia and
Gov. McMillin of Tennessee met in the
corridor near the House Monday they
looked at each other warily for a mo-
ment, says the Washington Post. 1t
was the first time they had come in
conjunction since Gov. Gambler, 1.-The
one-eyed plowboy of Pigeon Roost,"
went out of the Forty eighth Congress.
BILLY, what are you doing for liv-
ing?" asked McMillin.
Governor of Georgia just now" was
the answer. well, Ben, what are you
doing for a living?"
Governor of the finest state in the
South" replied McMillin.
II can go you one better" boasted
the Georgian. 81 am Governor of the
finest state in this Union. Now let's
go down and take a drink"
Before he left Washington Gov. Can
dler dined at Senator Bacons where
the other guests were members of the
Georgia delegation. The dinenr was a
genuine Georgia article, with COW peas
for feature. and it restored the Gov
ernor after his weary day of hand
shaking.
Gus" said he, addressing the SEN
ator at his departure, Il regret the
absence of only one thing here-some
cornbread. You must promise to have
it next time" and the senator faith
fully promised to do so.

stories of CeciI Rhodes.

While the late Cecil Rhodes, diamond
king and empire builder, did not pose
as a philosopher, nor even as a man
of learning. he had far more than or
binary insight and shrewdnesS, as his
career showed, and some of the SEN
tentious utterances that fell from his
lips are well worthy of quotation, says
Leslie's Weekly. Life is too short, af-
ter ALL he used to say, ito worry
about previous lives. From the cradle
to the grave-what is it? Three days
at the seaside. Just that and nothing
more. But although it IS only three
days we must be doing something. l
cannot spend my time throwing stones
into the water. But what is worth
while doing?" When asked how he pro-
posed to carry his Cape-to-Cairo tele-
graph across the Soudan, which was
then under the dominion of the Kha-
lfa, he replied: "Oh, leave 1t to me.
never met men yet that 1 could not
come to an agreement with, and l shall
be able to fix things up with the Kha-
lifa right enough when the time
comes" This is the germ of the fiction
that credited Mr.. Rhodes with having
declared that he never met a man he
could not buy. II say that the day will
come when the wars of the world will
be tariff wars; that is going to be the
future policy of the world" at is no
useifor us to have big ideas if we have
not got the money to carry them out"
Rhodes once remarked to Gen. Gordon.

From the RAMS Horn.

T
How short the space! How much to do
How few and brief the days OF men:
So much TO learn of false and true
And only three-sccre years and ten
so little time TO do things well,
So much-so very much to know
And while we labor in our call
The years do not forget to go.
So many things that We might learn.
II only time would stay its tide.
And once again our youth return
TO keep the shadow from our side.
But an what cannot be cannot.
Wen do the little that we may.
And IN some time-ignoring spot
Perhaps find what We lose .o-day.

New York society was thrown into
ecstacies of delight the other day by
the arrival of Harry Lehr from Eu-
rope. The newspapers admiringly
chronicled the fact that he wore "a
long brown English ulster, the skirts
Of which he clutched in his right hand
to keep them from trailing on the deck
of the steamer; a low turned down
collar with a black English tie, and
a brown Fedora hat" Whether his
linen had one frill or two was not re-
ported. Meanwhile. one cannot help
wondering how King Edward hopes to
be crowned with becoming pomp and
ceremony with Mr.. Lehr on this side of
the ocean.

If Guam and Tutuila We're bigger,
they might be called white elephants
on the hands of the government. For
some inscrutable reason Congress has
neglected to make any provision for
funds for their administration, hence
the government is in the awkward po-
sition of having to conduct their af-
fairs without money with which to pay
expenses. Under the Supreme Court
decision in the Porto Rico case the
government was stopped from collect
ing duties on goods imported into the
dependencies save under the express
authority of Congress. Congress has
passed laws fer Porto Rico and the
Philippines, but il has left Guam and
Tutuila out in the cold.
