The Popular Vote in the Gath.

Delegations from Washington, Beaver
and Lawrence counties assembled in
Senator Penrose's committee room, in
the capitol at Washington. last Mon
day, to decide with the State Chairman
(Penrose) upon a method of nominating
a congressman in that district (the 24th).
Senator Penrose recommended the
adoption of the popular vote plan, Civ

ance with Republican rules. 1t was al

which case the primaries are to be held
at such time as the congressional com
mittee of the respective counties shall
determine; said congressional commit
tee to be composed of the Republican
county chairmen of the three counties
comprising the district.
This was all embodied in resolution,
together with plan for casting and
computing the vote The conference
adopted the recommendations of the
state chairman. By this decision the
popular vote plan will rnle so long as
the district is comprised as it is at pres
ent. The congressional committee later
decided upon March 10. 1904, as the date
for holding the next primaries.
Representative Acheson and his
friends, who had contended for the pop

decision of Chairman Penrose and that
the matter has been settled definitely
and without any apparent i'll feeling.

One short Chapter or American
History.

II il ten years ago this month that
CLEVELAND convened Congress in special
session in order 10 repeal the law COM
pelling the Treasury to buy silver bullion,
which buying had produced disaster
much like that now confronting the
nation.
The silver law was repealed as CLEvE-
LAND had advised.
At the next Presidential election the
survivors of those who advocated the
compulsory Treasury silver purchases
were defeated. MCKINLEY was chosen
to he President.
A tariff law which he had framed six
wears before was supplemented by the
Dingley law; the gold dollar standard
and unit of value was strengthened; the
confidence Of capital in the Government,
and of investors in one another, which
the silver purchasing had destroyed,
was restored industrial prosperity dur
ing MCkINLEY's terms of Office revived
by leaps and bounds In France and
Germany a protective tariff, by the Sc

The beneficent aggregations Of capital
which Englishmen are now saying has
excluded them from the protected mar
kets and has ena bled Americans, French
men and Germans successfully to invade
with their exports the home markets Of
the United Kingdom.
Vast aggregations of capital followed
in the United States the Dngley tariff
law and the establishment Of the gold
standard.
All the world knows that the great
prosperity continued in the United States
till President ROOSEVELT began, a year
ago. his New England speech-making
campaign against capital organized by
its owners during MCKINLEYs life to
promote American industries.

An Instructive Strike.

Three features of tho little strike of a
few OF the motormen and conductors of
the New York and Queens County Rail
road, last Sunday impressed themselves
"a unusual on men who had watched
other strikes. The first was the self
effacement and moderation Of the walk
ing delegate Organizer" or business
agent" the representative Of the labor
union; the second was the impression
made on the nascent germs Of disorder
by the presence of an overwhelming
force of policemen; the third was the
calm and good-natured firmness of the
companys officials in dealing with its
employees.
The employees of the railroad were
not organized into any labor union up
to Sunday. Rumors had circulated that
the company was suspicious that labor
union was being formed, was sending
ont spies and would deal harshly with
any employee who showed any dsposi-
tion to join "A union At once there arose
an irresistible desire for union member
ship. Three men had been discharged
on Friday. They had not been partio,l-
larlv prominent in any union movement,
though one Of them had been partic,l-
arlv even alcoholicalv, it is said loud
mouthed~in declaring his free American
rights But, as a matter Of course, their
discharge was the signal for a cry that
the friends of the proposed union We're
being prosecuted. There was meet
ing Of sixtv-fve OF the companv's 500
employees on Saturday night. These
were substitutes, extras, men employed
to meet the exigencies Of the Sunday
rush to the beaches They won over
thirty or more of the regularly employed
motoTmen and conductors At the meet
ing a committee was appointed to wait
on the company and make demands
This committee called on General
Manager FULLER on Sunday morning
and told him that he had until noon 10
reinstate the three discharged men and
recognize the union" Mr.. FULLER told
them that he had no personal informa-
tion regarding the three discharged
men; that if, as the committee alleged.
they had been unfairly discharged, he
would reinstate them pending personal
investigation into the charges against
them. AS for the union. he conld not
recognize any union which did not exist.
They had come to him and had been re-
ceived as a committee representing the
roads employees; they had no name as n
union, no list Of members, no officers.
The committee, scorning tho cars and
tracks Of II railroad so tyrannically man
aged, walked three miles back to the
saloon where most of the diSa ffecte ed men
spend their time. 1t was agreed Ia call
another meeting for that Sunday even

The German Treaties Of Commerce
and the New Reichstae.


Since the out tcomc of the recent Parlia-
mentarv election in Germany became
known the organ of Herr RICHTER, the
Freisinnige Zei'una. encouraged by the
defeat of the ultra agrarians. has adopted
a peremptory tone with reference 10
the treaties of commerce which are 10
replace those expiring on Dec, 81 Of the
current year. Ii insists that the Imperial
new conventions, shall be as concilatory
as is possible under the terms of the high
protective tariff which recently became a
law Especially will it be the duty of the
new Government, according to Herr
RICHTER. to avoid provoking Great
Britain to reprisals, for he points out that
while last year the value OF German i'm
ports from Great Britain amounted 10
$3.50, 100000 German exports to Great
Britain in the same twelvemonth reached
the enormous valuation of S24l ,250, 900.
1t is also of obvious moment to Germany
10 avoid aggravating any further the
United Statee, which already constitutes
one Of her best c,lstome and might
easily become better one.
II was the fate of Gernanv's CONNER
cial treaties that was at stake in the last
election and fortunately for German
manufacturers and their employees, they
gained a substantial victory over the
agriculturists so far as our own traffic
with Germany is concerned, it is trans
acted under treaty concluded in 1928,
which contains the most favored nation
clause The practical working of this
treaty is satisfactory to neither OF the
parties, and negotiations for new one
have been proceeding for some time in
Berlin and Washington. Had the Agra
rians retained the majority which they
possessed in the last Reichstag there is
no reason to suppose that the German
Government would have been able to
offer treaty that We should have been
willing to accept.
The situation is now materially
changed. In the last Reichstag the
advocates of extreme Agrarian prin-
cipIes, that is to say, Of "A tariff virtually
prohibitive, so far as commodities likely
to compete with native agricultural
products should be affected, were de-
cidedly preponderant. The coalition
which they controlled was con posed ofthe
two conservative partiesthe Conserva-
tives proper, and the so-caled Free Con-
servatives the members Of the Centre

united body under the leadership of a
