IT IS SPREADING.

When a pebble is thrown into a is formed which extends in every di- rection until stopped by the banks or some other obstruction. It is hoped by many that the effect of Mayor Weav- CTS Philadelphia assault on machine politics will be felt throughout the entire State of Pennsylvania. There is a broad field for reform.
 As a matter of fact, the conditions ,n the city were a natural result of the Republican methods which have disgraced the great State for years. present Senator Penrose was virtually the State boss after Quay's death. and Quay, not to speak more harshly or the dead, was as complete specimen of the business politician as could De found. in the Union. The object he ai- ways had in view was to win, and 1t is not saying too much to charge that he had no scruples in politics.
 During Quay's latter years Penrose was his understudy, and when the star fisappeared the other took his place and proved himself an apt scholar. By his election to the Senate his field of operations was enlarged. Instead Of heinz a local boss he Is now in po- sition tc view and supervise the en- tire State. In allying himself with The Durham -McNichol gang he put himself on their level and should share in their disgrace. The Mayor cannot remove him or punish him, but he can and does prove that Penrose was virtually one of the gang.
 Even Governor Pennypacker is far from being a white-robed political an- rel He has done some good things during his administration, but has con siderable of the machine pitch on his garments He has allowed himself to he mixed up so much with Penrose Durham and the rest that he may well feel that some of the exposures made by Weaver reach up to the executive chair.
 Already there are evidences in va rious sections of the State that the people have about reached the limit of forbearance, and that they are not disposed to submit longer to tho ring rule which has almost made the great State a by-word and reproach. Il the crushing of the gang in Philadel- uhia results in general revolution and crushing of machine politics and ring rule all over Pennsylvania Mayor Weaver will have accomplished much greater work thar he expected, and good government will owe him a great debt. :.'

WILLIAM WALLACE SCREWS.
A Tribute to Him From Alabama's old --4 est Daily.
Mobile Register.

MODlle heslSter.
 The Register did not have either it's long talk or its short talk man at the scene of Thursdays demonstration in honor of Major William Wallace Screws m but tb Wfs in spirit and that plea occasion. If The Regis ter comes q little late to join in that symposium of praise. 1t is because neighborhood and the editor has not frame of mind fit for performance of so delicate a task as that of speaking of the most foremost man among the newspaper men of Alabama.
 An editor. not the least in the bril- said. in speaking. of the demonstration of Friday. that he would ask for no greater reward in this world than to ssesye Msdy seqsm, sqsn h as that b sa Rsad to pression of a general sentiment.
 To merit such reward. however, one must begin early and persist like that pursued by Major Screws; and, moreover. he must be specially endowed by the grace of heaven.
 saens ae sS % o9 Ss soSa SS. ana ,n wise man. we would say that 1t is his trueness He has always been honest such value upon himself that that value Is recognized as true He passes current at that value. No false mod eSty ana yet no SelI I-glOrlnCatlOn mar the perfection of his character. In misfortune he was patient, courageous and strong; in good fortune he has re- seeking the worlds praise but at all times modest. considerate of others a gentleman. no matter what happens the epitome of all that Is admirable in a 1nan.
 Conducting an organ of public opin- lon, 1t has been his office to fight many battles and to make many political enc mics, but we have yet to hear the first word against the honor of Wallace Screws. Even those whom he has de- feated pay him the homage due an hon. est antagonis; His words have left no sting. because there has been no malice in them.
 His most exacting critics are those have known him in the time when a mans true character Is revealed-in the little incidents of daily life; and they write In his praise. We believe that of the three gifts laid before him at Coden the best in his estimation and the one that speaks loudest in his honor Is that one representing the affection of his employees. A spontaneous testi- monial from such a source has no equal The man who deserves 1t and receives 1t need look no further for certificate of success Whatever hls worldly pos sessions there is richness In this gift that exceeds that of gold and silver and precious stones. Tt cannot be valued ious onyx or the sapphire. The gold and crystal cannot equal it, and the exchanges of 1t shall not be for jewels of fine gold"

It is a good thing to have an ob- feet in life. Harry Lehr's object seems to be to make a bloomin' ass of him. self and we must give him credit for making a fairly good job of it. There has arisen a woman philanthropist up in Boston who has taken for her stunt the job of getting up a national move- ment for the purpose of bringing about a reform in the diet of monkeys. We do not remember to have read or heard what caused her to take an interest in the large and varied family of simians. but she's got the fad and is writing about 1t. She proves to her own sat asfaction that the whole domesticated brood of monkeys is being extermi- Mnxed by giving them fine wheat bread and cows milk. When she studies them and their habits in their native lands perhaps she will be able to pre- scribe a diet that will cause all mon keydom to rise up and bless her

Wood Pulp Duty.

Washington. July 26-The Treasury Department has issued circular letters of instructions to the United States customs officers on the Canadian from tier directing them. pending a final de- cision of the question by the courts. to assess additional duties. paragraph 393 of the present tariff law. upon all wood pulp imported from the province of Quebec, regardless of whether made from wood cut from crown or private lands. This additional duty will be equal to the export duty assessed upon pulp wood by the Canadian Govern ment.
 Up to this time additional duties have not uniformly been assessed upon pulp made from wood cut from private lands except when 1t was mixed with that produced from crown lands. The de- cision not only holds that the pulp product of private lands is subject to the additional duties, but secures uni- form practice of all custom houses on the Canadian border in dealing with pulp importation.

Fine Promise of Meteoric Showers.


 An astronomical authority, writing in Nature, calls the attention of anna teurs to the fact that this is the most interesting period of the year for the meteoric observer. as the skies are often clear and with meteors visible in more than usual abundance.
 The Persed meteors will soon be- gin to make their periodic visit in large numbers to the earth's atmos- phere. Though the maximum display August 10, stragglers from the main body of this meteoric system are us uallly tracable night after night by or before the middle of July, when they gradually become more numerous and often continue to illumine the sky until the fourth week of August As they radiate from the well known fes- toon of stars forming the constellation Perseus, lying southeast of Cassiopeia's s Chair 1t Is not difficult for an observer in our attitudes to trace them when they enter the upper atmosphere: but their radiant point is now gradually travelling eastnortheast from the bor- ders of Cassiopeia and Andromeda toward those of Camelopardus.
 In addition to the Perseids. the Aqua rids will probably appear from Thurs day until next Monday, and there may be other less active meteoric showers to reward the patient observer.

CARELESS WRITING THE CAUSE.

CARELESS WHITING THE SAOSH'
 The Mobile Register of yesterday has the following:
 A careless headliner prints in The Mon tgomery Advertiser of yesterday that "feverf was reported at Mobile" The telegram oyer which this headline two of the crew taken off the steamer Colombia upon her arrival from Colon at Fort Morgan quarantine, thirty miles below the sity. The dspatGhn nsm had o'9 9eyer n1! Certainly they were not in Mobile. or within thirty miles of the city. Care lessness In editing this sort of matter time when the welfare of neighbor- ing community depends so much upon the publication of nothing but the There is no yellow fever at Mobile and none has been reported here.
 Our contemporary alludes to an As sociated Press item sent out from Mo- bile. which appeared at the bottom Of the third column of the third page of this paper. under a single line head Fever Reported at Mobile"-not yell low fever. This item was as follows:
 Mobile. Ala. July 24.-There is a ru- nor, current here that two of the crew of the steamer Columbia from Colon, Vla bOCa6 0el TOTO, WHlCn uulOdoSu fruit here last night and returned i'm: mediately were taken off the vessel when she arrived inward bound at the quarantine station, thirty miles below Mobile with fever.
 Now we disagree with our contem- porary about this item being stated clearly. It is about as muddy a piece of English as we have seen lately. Of course 1t can be understood after pug sling over it. Furthermore. the item does mean that the men had fever" what sort of fever is not stated The Register should see to 1t that the Associated Press items from Mobile are better written.
 The Advertiser has been doing all in its power to prevent any excitement in this State on the subject of yellow fever, and has not been handling any news on the subject in a sensational way. We have every reason to take care of Mobiles reputation in this matter. and assure our contemporary that we have done nothing reprehen- sible. and will not do so.

They might brand 1t "Uneeda warm." or something of the kind, and 1t would go with a whoop.

Since You Went Away,
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG.

Since You Went Away. Since you went away. The bluing skies have somehow turn
 ed to grey, The wind sighs through the trees as
 in dismay, The goldenrod seems weeping with
 each nod: Likewise the orinames that haunt
 the sod, Since you went away! Since you went away, The catbird seems to lack his old glad
 note: The wood dove. too, from out her tiny
 throat. Cries ever mournful like she missed
 you too, The once glad brook seems sobbing
 now of you. Since you went away! Since you went away, The Lady Moon seem scolder than be-
 fore, As she her Sun God sees fall bathed
 in gore, While yon mute pine seems from It's
 chasm wide A monument to one rash dream that
 died Since you went away!

The anti-cigarette law of Indiana has proven a very broad farce. as most intelligent people believed 1t would No man can sell or give away cigarette papers in that State. but We are informed on good authority that the mails are over burdened with the little packets of rice paper" The re- cipients are cautioned not to give any of them away, but that is all the bet ter. The result of the drastic law is that Indianians are getting all the cig- arctic paper they want without having to pay for 1t, and as any one can buy smoking tobacco the cigarette business is fiourishing right in the teeth of the law.
