The Pennsylvania Republican
state convention did something
more than indorse the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt and
urge him for the nomination in
1904. 1t inserted this sane and
stalwart expression in its platform:
F" We affirm our unswerving 10y
atty to the Republican principle of
protective tariff and depreciate
any suggestion of general revis-
ion at the present time of the
tariff law enacted in 1897. We
believe it to be the course of
wisdom to let well enough alone,
and not imperil business interests
by any suggestions of present
interference with revenue legisla-
ton. Permanence and stability of
tariff rates are essential to con-
tinued business prosperity"

Assistant Secretary of the Interior

time ordered to arrest an Indian who
had been selling whisky to his red

sheriff had captured Poor Lo" he
gave him sound lecture on the de-
prayity of his conduct. The Indian
listened stolidly to the reprimand. and
finally asked:

OUR RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA.

The question of our relations
with Russia has been brought into
prominence by both the Manchu-
rian affair and the feeling of horror
that has been awakened all oveI
the land by the recent massacre OF
Jews in Kishinev. 1t will requile e
much tact on the part Of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay to
dispose of these matters without
causing unpleasant friction.
In respect to Manchuria the ex-
plantations given by Russia seems
to dispose of the main point at is
sue which is the question of our
trade relations with that province.
All that the United States has de-
manded is an "open door" trade,
and this Russia seems to be dispos.
ed to grant, at least as far as this
country is concerned. The political
future of Manchuria is matter in
which the United States is not deep
ly concerned except in SO far as it
relates to commercial questions.
1t may well be doubted if the Uni
ted States should extend its inquiry
in Oriental affairs beyond matters
pertaining to commerce and the
protection of American citizens in
the enjoyment of their Legitimate
rights.
The Kishinev affair presents a
more delicate matter for considera-
tion, although politically of less
Importance. 1t may be depended
upon however that it will be han
died in proper spirit; that both
the sentiment of the American
public and the dignity and the
rights of Russia will receive due
respect and consideration.

Young Lady's Remark Too Much for

Young lady's Remark Too Much for
Elderly Gallant.
A handsome gentleman Of GO, who
looks much younger and still retains
an eye for the beautiful in the fair
sex and a tender fluttering of the
heart when the ladies glance his way,
got into street car in company with
his son, grown young man. A
striking feature Of the elderly gallant
is an extremely long and full goatee
and big, flowing mustaches. The gen.
tleman found a seat directly oppo-
site two unusually attractive young
ladies', Immediately beside whom the
son found his seat.
In few moments the girls were
glancing often at the old gentleman
and chattering together in great glee.
The gentleman hugged himself men
tally. but restrained his emotions in
the presence of his son. On leaving
the car the son said:
Say. Governor. I've got good one
on you"
well. what is It, my SOM"
"Why. one of those girls next to
me said: What a funny looking
thing that old man is over there To
which the other replied: Yes. isn't
he? He looks like goat!"
That was the, old mans last

When through the field our steps we took

Bsccalaureate Sermon.

Sunday morning Rev. Frothingham
preached the baccalaureate sermon at
the Presbyterian church. The gradual
ing class attended the services in body,
BLESSED be the Kingdom OF our
Father David that Cometh in the Name
of the Lord" was the text selected and
in an eloquent and impressive manner
Mr.. rockingham shaped his address in
a way which made it emineDtly appro-
pirate for the occasion. Following are
few OF his remarks:
"The duty OF scholarship il to discri-
inmate between true and false ard to
stand by the true.
Scholarship on the whole has stood
for profession Of Christ and all great
leaders in the gospel have laid great
stress on scholarship.
In standing by the true learning
places the man above the philosophy.
Christ taught devotion to a person as
better even than devotion to thought.
The flesh and blood gospel is HIS when
He cried "Inasmucb." The flesh and
blood gospel is ours when we trust in
Christ. 1t is yours to hail the man that
is true and above all to Hail hetruest
man.
This cry hailing not of Christ as a
Savior, but man who was known to be
good and true.
1t was distasteful then to much OF the
scholarship and piety of the time. as it
has been since. Note for ins: ance how
the eleven universities of Europe united
at the council of Constance in condemn
ing Hess and jerome.
Every hailing cry OF the people is not
well directed"
