The Fads of Fiction.

TIC aus OF FiCtlOns
Where's the lackadaisie lady
Who had tears on every page?
Where's the blood and thunder hero
And the wars he used to wage?
Where's the specter ever present.
And the gypsy and the seer?
Where. oh, where's the highway rob-

And the swart-browed buccaneer?
Where's the villain dark and daring
Who pursued the maid averse?
Where's the helpless. hopeless, hapless
Victim of an ancient curse?
Where's the lynX-eyed sleuth detective

Who, alone and quite unweaponed.
Dealt a host of foemen harm?
Where's the guide and where's the red

Whose impossible adventures
Were the theme of many tale?
Where's the mining-camp contingent

And the cruel overseer

They are gone. the olden players.
They have had their time and chance.
There's a newer type arisen

We have turned to realism,
And the greatest novelist
Is the one who dares to show us
Life and love as they exist.

EDITORIAL OPfNION

His plur9Ay was little more than iOoo'.
II waYabcut the margin that John NJ.
Pattjton had In Ohio on Tuesday.
The Pattlson who now steps in the lime
light as national character owes his
good fortune to a great detection in the
majority party Of his state. II was the
same in Pennsylvania when Robert T..
Pattison was elected. Then there was an
independent Republican candidate wh) led
organized boilers to the number of 1900.
Others voted for the Democratic ticket
directly. 1t is needless TO say that there
has been a still greater Republican revolt
I'm Ohio for this State is more one-sided
in politics now than Pennsylvania was In
1882
The Pennsylvania Pattison belonged to
the same great church-the Methodist
Episcopal-which numbers John NJ. Patti
son among its members. in both cases
that fact helped to make the breaking of
party lines easier for a large body of
Republicans who were attached to their
party but more to temperance and their
duty as they saw and felt II.
Here condolences end. The Pennsyl-
vania Pattison served his term-four
years in that state. Then he ddopped out
a term and was again elected In $50. once
more pronting by a wave OF Republican
disgust with the management Of the Re
publican party. Naturally, he became a
national figure in the councils Of his party
John NJ. Pattison has a chance to DO the
same thing. Robert T.. Pattison was
never able TO go farther than the acci-
dental or fortuitous Governorship of his
State.
VIII the limit Of John NJ Pattison's
career be wider? Hardly If the Demo-
cratic party Of Ohio should come into un-
expected and improbable favor, Tom l..
johnson, not John NJ Pattison, would be
its dominating figure as conditions are to-
day.

All the mills on the Penobscot, and

WHAT oDELL GOT.

II HE testimony Of James Hazen
i Hyde relating to certain financial
transactions OF ex-Governor Oden. to-
gether with certain facts already
known, compels the latter TO demand
Of the Insurance Investigating Com
mittee the right to be heard in defense
OF explanation.
It seems that IN 1903 Mr. Odell pur-
chased bonds Of the United States
.shipbuildng Company to the value Of
$1SO.OOO. When the slump came and
these bonds deprecated greatly in
value. Mr Odell brought suit against
the Mercantile Trust Company. which
conducted the business of the transact
tion. to recover his losses.
Immediately there was bill intro-
duced In the Senate providing for re-
peal Of the charter Of the trust COM
pany. Now to see all the motives in
the transaction one must remember
that the Mercantile Trust Company
was in amliation with the Equitable
and controlled by t.
Mr.. Hyde says that at this stage e.
II. Hartman suggested to him that the
suit OF Odell had better be settled on
account OF influences at Albany which
were antagonistlc ON account Of the
lShipbuilding matter; and that the Mer-
camille Trust. a valuable asset Of the
Equitable. was In danger.
And so Mr.. Odell was paid $4,000
and allowed to retain his bonds. And,
remarkable to say, the Senate bill re-
pealing the charter Of the Mercantile
Trust Company was pigeon-holed and
forgotten.
This is the pleasant little. story that
on the stand Mr.. Odell will interpret
and explain.

Governor Pennypaoker's surprise.

From the New York Times
Another Of the Pennsylvania Ring
favorites gives signs Of serious revolt.
one OF the schemes of the Ring has
been TO put men of certain respect
ability in prominent office and then TO
tie their hands by legislation on the one
hand. and. on the other, to bring the
many and powerful influences Of the
party TO bear upon them to restrain
them from interfering with the pur-
poses OF the Ring. That was done in
the case of Mayor Weaver. but the
demands of the Ring were too out
rageous He resisted vigorously and
even violently; the people rallied to him
and the Ring in Philadelphia was for
the time effectually downed.
Governor Pennypacker's case is, in
part at least the same. He has called
am extraordinary session of the Legis-
lature to meet January 10 to consider
what is practically the complete pro-
gram Of legislation pressed by the re-
form party i'm the State for the last
two years. The most important meas
ures look to the safeguarding of the
public funds. the reapportionment OF
ieBlSldllNe ulHlilclai lne personal regis
tration Of voters. and the restoration
to the Mayor OF Philadelphia of the
powers OF appointment taken from
him by the notorious Ripper" law. The
Governors personal character has
never so far as we are aware, been
assailed, and In this latest action he is
unquestionably aiding the people OF the
state to secure the reform they so dis
tlnctly demanded in the elections of
last week.

PLAouE lN HAVANA.

\ + 1T is true that yellow fever which
Il has appeared in Havana is due to
Ia neglect OF proper sanitation. duty
rests upon this country to require Cuba
to live up to the obligations imposed
In her acceptance OF the Platt amend
|ment. Her own interests should have
led her to follow the excellent exam
pie set by the United States officials
who cleaned up her cities and made
them fit for humdn abiding places. The
Secretary OF the Treasury IN declaring
la quarantine against Havana may
cause the Cuban government to see
how expensive her neglect may be.
The proximity OF Cuba to the United
States and the vast amount Of tramc
between Havana ana cities Of the
mainland make It necessary for us to
insist on the observance OF health reg
ulations, in order to protect ourselves.
In our cities the appearance Of frost
ends the plague until there is re-infeo-
tion; but Havana being IN the tropics
can harbor the disease and prove a
menace the year round.
Should there be yellow fever in Hav-
ana next summer It would be almost
icertain TO make its appearance In one
lor more Of our cities. We have come
Ito regard national quarantine as ne
lcessary; perhaps in time it may be an
international matter.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

W f DON'T wonder that the Chi
w nese are indignant at our ex-
clusion act and its enforcement. Were
they not indignant we should think less
Of them.
It is probably necessary and desirable
20 exclude the coolies ana China does
not object to that; but when we make
no discrimination in our law between
coolies and bankers or merchants we
make a prohibition that Is unreason-
able and which can serve no good pur-
pose.
Chinese OF the highest standing find
our doors shut against them. while they
may travel in Europe as freely as other
people. Is it any wonder that Ameri-
can missionaries are received with
scant courtesy
We are beginning to feel the results
Of this narrow policy. The European
nations are controlling a vast amount
OF trade that properly would come tc
us. This is partly due to feeling
against the United States. and partly
TO the fact that owing to our policy OF
exclusion t he most enlightened OF the
Chinese have learned little abous us.
There can be no objection to any
save the laborlng classes. since their
merchants. doctors and lawyers rarely
contemplate making America their per-
hmanent abiding place. They travel on
business. pleasure and for research, just
rs Americans travel; and our exclusion
pf them is out of keeping with the true

SPEAKING OF VICTORIES.

CERTAIN Of our contemporaries are
~ gravely talking about Democratic
victories in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
why those were Republican victories.
The only places where Democrats won
victories were in New York city and
Maryland.
There are too many Republicans in
Ohio and Pennsylvania to permit a
Democratic victory; but these Republi-
cans simply determined to punish the
men who controlled the machine. and
to purge their own party. The recent
election resulted in the greatest victory
for true Republicans that Pennsylvania
ever knew.
And over in Maryland the honest. in
dependent Democrats have right tc
throw up their hats and rejoice For
as the greatest victory that a man
can win is over himself. so the most
signal Of a party is when It has wiped
out its own Ink spots.
But it doesn't make much difference
how we construe the peoples verdict
there is every evidence that at the re-
cent election, the only thing that stuck
in their minds was the determination
TO get rid OF the bosses. There is rea-
son for believing that in their eagerness
to accomplish that end thousands al
most forgot whether they were Demo-
Gratis or Republicans. When people
gather TO put out a fire they do not
come as party men.
