Malignant Partisanship.

President Roosevelt is rapidly acquiring
an unenviable reputation as malignant
partisan. In his speech at the opening
of the St. Louis exposition he studi-
ously avoided giving any credit to
Jefferson for the purchase of the
Louisiana territory. The only refer
ence he made to the great American who
wrote the Declaration of Independence,
added a vast domain to the United States,
founded the democratic party and for
twenty-five years was the principal factor
in the political life of America-the only
reference to this illustrious character was
an incidental one. There could be no
reason for this slight except the presi-
dents desire to avoid even a compli-
mentary reference TO a democrat.
In his speech at the battlefield of
Antietam, however, the president went
even farther in his attempt to ignore
a democratic character. On that occasion
he paid a tribute to the valor of the New
Jersey soldiers, mentioned General Lee,
President Lincoln, General Socum,
General Grant, and General Greene
going so far as to mention by name Gen
eral Green's son, who now holds posi-
ton by republican appointmeut-bu in
all the speech he never mentioned the
name of General Mcclellan, who conf
manded the Union forces on that occa-
sion and showed military skill that
gives him fixed place in the military
annals of the nation. General Mcclellan
was the democratic candidate for the
presidency in 1864 and his son is demo
cratic member of congress. These facts
may explain why President Roosevelt SC
studiouslv avoided a mention of his
name. 1t would be reflection upon the
intelligence of the hero of San Juan Hill
to say that he did not know who COM
nanded the Union forces at that time.
AS General McClellau's name was natur-
ally and necessarily connected with the
battlefield, the president can only excuse
his failure to mention him by saying that
democrat no matter how great or con-
spicuous is not worthy to be compliment
ed or even mentioned by the republican
president of the United States.
There is at least one consolation TO be
drawn from the presidents conduct al
Antietam, namely, that he has reached
the limit of malignant partisanship and
that the public can rest easy in the BELIEF
that there is no depth beyond to which
he can fall. He is at the bottom.-The
Commoner.

The term "asset currency" is described
as being that system of currency now
proposed by the bankers, which would
not rest upon government bonds as the
present currency does, but merely upon
the assets of the bark The currency
would be printed by the government and
issued to the bank with no security back
of it other than the assets of the bank
In other words, if the government does
not guarantee the currency it may become
worthless if the officials of the bank alb
scond with the assets. If, on the other
hand, the government guarantees the
currency. the bank gets the benefit and
the people represented Eby the gov
ernment run all the risks.

Susquehanna Harnessed.

The problem of the utilization of
the Susquehanna River has finally
been solved, and large plant has
been built for its conversion. This
plant is located at York Haven, a
few miles above the Maryland line,
and is now completing a perfect
system of Harvesting the Susque-
hanna River at that point. 1t is
the purpose of the operators to
generate sufficient electrical power
to furnish prominent cities and
towns in Southern Pennsylvania
and probably Baltimore and vicin-
ity with an electric current that
can be used for any and all
purposes.
The construction of the plant,
which is second on'y to the great
Niagara Power Plant, at Niagara
Falls, was begun in June, 1901,
and when completed and in opera
ton the current, it is estimated,
will be of $4,000 horse power.
The projectors have formed the
York Haven Water and Power
Company with capital stock Of
100000.

The Federal grand jury at Washington
before being dismissed on Monday re,
turned an additional batch of thirteen
indictments in connection with the postal
scandal, which business it considered III
its several phases during the sessions Of
the body. The extent of the rottenness
which has been unearthed is seen from
the fact that twenty-seven persons are
under indictment for helping to loot the
government through the Post Office De.
partment, and deficit of 81. 500, 900 for
the fiscal year is the result of the con-
duct of postal affairs under the present
Administration, when wholesale plumber
has been carried on by the gang of graft
ers, who obtained their lucrative positions
in compensation for political services
rendered the party in power. Doubtless
if this investigation is carried to other
departments and the cancerous growth oil
corruption which is sapping the life blood
of the Administration followed to the end
of its many roots, the patient will be
found to be so thoroughly infected with
the poison as to give little hope of its
system ever being cleansed.

The Hon. John S. Writ after waging a
bitter and relentless fight for months
against the organization, or machine
democrats of the county, through the
CeciL Democrat, has sold his interest in
that paper and put aside the editorial pen.
During Mr.. Wirt's occupancy of the edi-
torial chair the people of Cecil witnessed
probably the most vindictive factional
fight that has ever occurred i'll the demo.
cratic party of the county, it being pre-
cipitated by the personal as we'll as polit.
ical enmity of Mr.. Writ for A. L. Croth
ers, Esq, the leader of the organization
democrats. Mr.. Wirt's fight proved q
losing one, his faction being defeated in
the primaries, and the Democrat refused
to support the county ticket, but carried
the State ticket at the head of its editorial
page. On assuming charge of the paper
last week Mr.. Ash announced that the
ticket in it entirety would be supported
henceforth and the success of the party
striven for in every respect.
