PHILADELPHIA, PA May 1s.---Amid
scenes Of disorder unprecedented IN the
annals Of Philadelphia Legislative body
the City Council tonight voted to lease
the City Gas Works to the United Gas
Improvement Company for term Of
seventy-fiv years. for the total sum Of
s25, ,ooo, 600, the money to be paid in va
rious amounts before the end OF 1907.
Council's chamber and committee
rooms were crowded with excited citi-
zens protesting against the lease, The
climax was reached when the vote In
the Common Council was announced af-
ter three hours OF debate.
The moment President George McCurdy
announced the vote. great uproar was
started in the gallery, which wa 8 crowd
ed to the door. From all over the gallery
came Kisses and cries Of thieves. The
outburst was somewhat startling to the
presiding officer. who made vain effort
to quell 1t. Finally he sent for q squad
Of police to clear the gallery which start
ed the disorder anew. The crowd con-
tinued to hiss and call the councilmen
thieves and other names until the police
arrived and started to clear the gallery.
AS the people moved out they sang un-
complimentary songs.
All through the session OF the Common
Council there was disorder. In Select
Council. there were 80 many policemen
on duty that no one dared to interrupt
the proceedings. There was neither q
cheer nor hiss when the bill passed that
body,
Mayor Weaver Is expected to veto the
bill. and in that event, both chambers
will probably pass 1t over his veto. The
vote in Common Council was - to Q, and
in Select Council, 81 to 4. There Is only
one Democrat In each body and both
voted against the lease. The bill was
amehded so as to provide for a slight re-
duction In the price OF gas.

@ NORFOLK, VA, May Ex-senator
Thomas s. Martin had brilliant au-
dence here tonight at the Academy Of

Tho points which he made against his

the utmost fervor showing that the peo-
pie are thoroughly alive to the contro-
versy started by Governor Montague as
to the service Of Senator Martin in the

Splendid Audience.
There has seldom been larger au-
dience at a political occasion, and never
one more representative OF all classes OF
the people
Great applause followed those parts Of
the senator's speech which referred to
the statement Of Governor Montague that
! he had collected but $3.50 for the benefit
OF Virginia from the United States. He
refuted that statement with fine scorn
and evidently convinced the audience
that the statement was not a fair one.
The greatest enthusiasm was excited,
however, when he referred to the appro-
priatio put through for the navy yard.

IsT is PROMISED.

The most interesting feature OF the
insurance investigation, if a Washing
ton dispatch To the Chicago Tribune
is correct, will be the publication by
Postmaster General CortelyOu. chair
man of the Republican national COM
lnittee. of n complete list Of all contri-
buttons made through him to the last
national campaign The dispatch says
the list viii be complete" and we trust
this means the contributions Of individ-
uals as well as OF corporations.
1t is to be hoped. too, that there will
zoe no evasions. For example, are we
20 have a showing OF the contributions
made through Cornelius n. Bliss, treas
urer OF the committee? Comparatively
Few donations We're made 10 Mr.. Cor
telyou direct. Practically all of them
were sent to Mr.. Bliss, because the
lnagnates and the corporations knew
he was the treasurer and the custodian
OF the funds. Any money sent 10 Cor
telyou would naturally be turned over
20 Bliss.
We would feel safer about the list,
therefore. il the statement had been
made that Mr. CorteIyou would publish
a list OF all contributions to the CAM
paign fund. instead OF contributions
made through him. We don't know
that any evasion will be practiced. but
there is assuredly room for it.
Another interesting feature OF the
dispatch IS the assertion that the presi-
dent viii, in his message to congress,
urge such action as will put stop TO
the soliciting Of campaign contributions
from corporations or the acceptance Of
such contributions. 1t is much to be
doubted If such a law could be made
effective; it would only furnish an ex-
cuse for those who do not desire to
contribute. But at any rate, the presi-
dents handling OF the subject should
be worth observing.

a topic which. 1t win be generally sd-'
mitted. is a decidedly large one. Among
other things Mr.. LumplIin said.
Wherever the negro participates in
the affairs of the Republican party in
the south it kills the Republican party
in the south deader than hi. The
negro is a man who casts a strong
shadow, and is all right when his ser
vices are needed, but he is not needed
in politics. One notable fact is that the
strongest negro counties in the state
always go Democratic"
Thereupon. says a story of the din
ner, the orchestra played, Coon, Coon,
Coon, l Wish Ny Color Would Fade,
and everybody laughed and applauded.
Stili, we fail 10 see how the elimination
OF the negro from the Republican party
in Texas would contribute toward Dem
ocratic disaster. On the contrary, it
would only make the Democratic ma
jorities heavier. 1t may be true that
the presence OF negroes in Republican
primaries and conventions keep some
Democrats out of the Republican party
in Texas, but il is not at all likely that
| there would be enough accessions OF
this character TO offset the loss OF the
| negroes.
Southern people, as a people, are not
Democrats because the negroes are
practically all Republicans. They are
Democrats beause they believe in Dem
cratic principles and it is a reelection
| on their intelligence to insinuate that
anything else il true. SOutherners are
! just as much in the habit of thinking
FOR themselves and Of voting according
/ to the dictates of their own consciences
as citizens in any other part Of the
/ country.
The solid south" is sometimes spoken
or darisively, as if its solidity from the
political standpoint was an indication
of ignorance. There is no more reason
| for this than there is for sneeriug al
the east, which has been solidly Repub-
lican for about a dozen years. There is
/ about as much hope for the Demos
Gratis to carry Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, Maine, Vermont, New Hamp-
shire. Rhode Island and, lately. New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut. ii
a presidential election as there is FOL
the Republicans 70 carry Texas or Mis-
sissippi or Georgia.
The negro may keep few Democrat
out Of the Republican party in TIT

tbs negro vote everywhere could b.

ocratic at every presidential election

A TRAGIC BEREAVEMENT.

Sad beyond expression is the death Of
Rebecca Vaughan Morris, the 15-year-
old daughter of Mayor and Mrs. Rich
ard p. Morris. announced in the morn
ing papers of yesterday. And mysteri-
Gus beyond the power of human COM
prehension is the decree Of Providence
that has called her away. At the be-
ginning of her life stood this young girl.
Fair was the prospect that opened be-
fore her, smooth the pathway, serene
her nfes sky.
In the golden sunshine she walked in
q sunshine that she reflected upon
those she knew and loved and who
loved her. Now the darkness has fallen.
but it is not this young girl who walks
in IT, God permits bereavements that
seem unspeakably cruel. He visits woe
that numbs and brushes the heart, but
He never takes from His stricken ones
the power of hoping. the strength that
comes with faith that all is for the
best.
So as they sit In the houEe of mourn
ing, those nearest and dearest to the one
who is gone are cheered and comforted
by the thought that, stainless and sin
less. unspotted of the world. she has
journeyed to a far country to await
their coming. She has passed into that
blessed land where youth is everlast-
ing, where brightness and JOY are eter-
nal. whore there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying
neither shall there be any more pain. q"
No, the young girl is not walking in
darkness. neither is she alone or lonely.
The darkness is in the hearts of those
who loved her And even into that
gloom must come a shaft Of pure. white
light, the light of hope and faith and
trust, the light that viii lead them
onward and upward to the belief that
in Gods good time there viii be a re-
union made trebly joyful by the knowl-
edge that no mere separations will
come.
May God comfort and strengthen
those who are bereaved. may they be-
ieve. as others have believed and do
believe. "The Lord gave. the Lord hath
taken away; blessed be the name Of the
Lord"
