Judge q Party BY What 1t Has Done.
A political party must be
judged by what it hus done,
not by what any number OF
voters may want done, but
can't get done. No man OF

the Republican masses there
exist discomfort, ,ssrestiveness,
and protest. But 50 long as
the republican masses will
take fine professions OF patti

evil deeds, and accept vague
platform promises OF good

will be no better off. If you

From our Regular Correspondent.

The news comes from Phil
|adplphia that the officials OF
the Pennsylvania railroad
have Effected another lnerg.
er. This time it il the Phila
adelphia, Baltimore u n d
Washington Railroad that
has absorbed the PhiIadtIph.
Ia, Wilmington and Balti-
more and the Baltimore and
Patolnac railroads and will
be merged with the Bulti-
more and Ohio bringing the
Pennsylvania and the Bulti-
u ore and Ohio railroads du-
der one corporate manage
ment. With such a merger tn
king place in his immediate
Delgii iborhood it is difficult
to know what glory the Pres
ident can take unto himself
by virtue Of his suit against
the Northern Securities Com
pany, The virtual consoIi-
.dation of the y. & O. and the
PENNSYLVANIA system h a s
heen effected for some time
and still the Attorney Gener-
al makes no move to enioin
the mergers. Another phase
OF the new organization will
consist OF the issue of bonds
to the extent of$1O.OOO 600.
This issue 1t is alleged ia to
cover the expense of the pro-
posed union station in Wash
ingtOn, but as ia well known
Congress by the provisions
OF the bill now resting in the
House committee on the Dis.
trict of Columbia, will donate
lands and privileges to t h e
merged company which are
valued at nearly that sum.
and it is predicted by per.
sons familiar with the meth.
ods OF pl ocedure followed hy
great porations that the
time is not far distant when
the bonds will be taken up
by an increased issue of stock
which will represent the val
ne Of he donation Congress
will make to the Penns!yIva-
MIA Railroad. If fthere is any
sincerity about Mr.. Roose-
veIt's protestations that he
is opposed to great railroad
monOpolies, he will turn his
attention to the nefarions
bill which Congress proposes
ca to pass. and to the Penn
syIvania railroad trust, the
org anization Of v hirh is be.
ing perfected almost before
bis eyes.
Probably no more difficult
situation ever confronted an
aspirant for election to the
highest Office in the land
than that which now con-
fronts Mr.. Roosevelt. AL
though he deity refr aimed
from .inciting the last Con.
gress to action against the
trusts, beyond a few perfume
tory recommendations in his
first message, his Independ-

trusts or the modification of
the tariff with a view to their
suppression until the Iowa
Republican met and adopted
a platform inimical to the in
terest OF the trust magnates.
Secretary Shaw then went to
Oyster Bay and conferred
with the President and it was
given out, after his visit, that
he wouldIvoice the sentiments
of the President on the trust
and tariff questions during
he campaign. Consequently
Mr.. Sha VIZ first speech made
at Morrisville, Vt., was awai
ted with interest. The Secre
tary defended the trusts and
the Dingley tariff bill, indulg
ed in a number OF general
statements in regard to the
great interest his party took
in the welfare of the working
man and probably pleased
the trust magnates and the
capitalists but WOefully dis
appointed the advocates of
tariff reform of which there is
an immense number in the re
publican party throughout
the West.
Now Mr.. Roosevelt il on a
tour Of the country. He will
not, 1t is stated. take up
partizan questions W h ic h
would be unbecoming in the
President and all the people.
Under this specious plea he
will avoid the trust and tar
if questions, at least so his
friends hope. On the other
hand. he has already given a
forecast of his addresses to
the people. Judging from his
New Haven effort his line OF
argument Is to consist of n
laudation of the army and
the Philippine policy. When
he gets out west it is more

welt is trying ride two hor

as HE goal, and in the opin
ion cf the best judgesin Wash
ington, he is going to find
r,h Q task n very difficult
one.
There is something gro
tesque IN the Presidents y scol
ding the leaders of the repub
lican party in the South be-
cause OF the corruption OF
their machines and their a.
vldlty for office. 1t wOu | d
seem that nothing but a lack
OF knowledge OF the existing
conditions in The South could
have prompted such a waste
of breath. For an intelligent
politician to assume that the
republican machines In the
South exist for any ,other
purpose than for the division
OF spoils bespeaks an igno-
rance or an overestimate of
the credulity Of the people
which IS surprising, Leading
democratsin Washington are
surprised and amused by
what they describe as t h e
Presidents guilelessness, On
The other hand, the leaders
OF the republican party in the
Southern states are indig.
nant at what they call the
Presidents effrontery in un,
der taking to scold them.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Hanna is re-
ported to be contempIa ting

the knowledge that when the

Judge John p. Kelly was to have pre-
sided in the main court room this week
and the murder case was to have been
tried before him, but he has not yet
fully recovered from his recent Illness

room to Judge E. G.. Newcomb. The
murder trial, as stated above fell to
the lot of Judge Lynch.
John O'Rrien. of North Scranton, a
familiar police character. was arraigned
for burglarizing McNamara's hotel, on
West Market street. The police are
convinced that O'Brien did the job, but
could not prove the charge against him
ana reluctantly threw up their hands
and allowed a verdict of not guilty to
be returned. Judge Newcomb, in dis
charging the accused, told him he had
q narrow escape and to be careful to
keep out of the criminal courts in the
future or he will certainly land in the
penitentiary.
r. A. Stanton was the prosecutor in
two cases which charged his daughter,
Miss ELLA Maud Stanton, and Benjamin

Yesterday, charged with the murder OF
