Fourth Of yuly warning.

Next week comes the Fourth Of July,
with the danger Of death and injury, in
addition TO a saturnalia OF noise, that
attends its celebration, according to the
notions OF patriotism that prevail in this
country.
Il will be well for all interested to give
heed to the precautions that should be
exercised during our national holiday,
in order to guard as far as possible against
accidents or violent deaths. The police,
Of course, will be on the lookout to pre-
vent the unlawful indulgence in fireworks
in advance Of the Fourth, and the use Of
unlawful explosives on that day. The
fremen, also, will do their full duty in
fighting the fires that are constantly
threatened while fireworks hold sway.
The greatest element of danger is the
use Of fireworks and explosives by chill
dren In the first place, the deadly
"toy pistol, so attractive to the young,
should be driven out Of use. II is con-
ducive to wounds that may appear
slight but that leave the germs Of lock jaw
in their train Injuries from other ex-
plosives also convey the danger of lock-
jaw, but the TOY pistol is the greatest
fiend.
A note Of warning that has been sounded
elsewhere, and is applicable to every COM
munity is this: The minute an injury
is inflicted that breaks the skin in any
way, the patient should be hurried to a
doctor or a drug store and have the wound
thoroughly cleansed. This is an excel
lent precaution against the growth Of
tetanus germs. OF course, serious acci-
dents will Immediately be subjected ia
the care of doctors, but in many instances
slight injuries are not considered worthy
of any further attention than the mere
bandaging of the affected part. Others
that are not regarded as requiring any
attention may be dangerous if not care
fully washed.
Fourth Of July accidents are INSOFAR
ably connected with our manner of cele
brating the day, but care and caution
may minimize the serious results.

a "Two alnIon poIar country.D

a 1.-TWO Billion Dollar Country"
Thomas Brackctt Reed, while Speaker
of the House of Representatives, gained
fame by a trite expression when, in de-
fence Of a Congress that had made appro-
priations during its life amounting TO a
billion dollas, he remarked "This is a
billion dollar country"
That was about a decade ago Now
we are a "two billion dollar country"
In a dispatch sent from Washington, a
few days ago it was stated that the Fifty
ninth Congress, before its expiration next
March would make appropriations of the
public money amounting to $1,000 600 600
These figures are staggering They
mean expenditures for two years equal
ling the amount Of the national debt
Nothing could illustrate in a more
effective and startling manner the enor-
nous increase in our national eNpendi-
tues than this array OF nine ciphers be-
hind a figure two. punctuated by three
commas and preceded by a dollar mark
10 shows how the government has ex-
panded its functions-real or supposed
so that the expenses Of its operations call
for enormous sums of money
II is not hard however. TO ascribe
reasons for this tremendous increase in
national expenditures Il is due to ex.
pansion, to imperialism, to colonial &C.
QUESTIONS, TO our entrance upon th,
field Of benevolent assimilation
But is our modern policy worth tn,
cost it imposes upon a people who an
sorely taxed by an era Of high prices

Dilemma OF the Democratic Party Of
Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Democrats, who are as
sembled in State Convention at Harris
burg, today, find themselves confronted
with q serious dilemma. The question
that produced it was: Shall we nomi-
nate a straight-out Democratic ticket, or
shall we fuse with the independent Re
publican element of the State by indors-
ing the Lincoln party candidate for gov
ernor, Lewis Emery, Jr., and then ar
ranging for fusion ticket composed OF
both Democrats and Lincolnites for the
other places ? The decision, reached last
night, was in favor of fusion.
As a rule it is good politics for the minor
fly political party, when its powerful adj
versary is divided into factions, to throw
its sympathy and the support of its votes
to the weaker Of these two factions,
thereby tending TO the defeat OF the
stronger faction. This policy, it is con-
ceded, inures 10 the permanent advan-
tage Of the minority party, by tending
70 keep the factions Of the majority sepa-
rated indefinitely, thus opening the way to
victories in future for the minority party,
Through the continued divisions OF the
majority. The tendency Of such fusion
Of the minority party with the minority
faction Of the majority party is TO in-
tensiiy the latter's iactional differences
and make them well-nigh irreconcilable.
But fusion OF this character is a delicate
and difficult matter. Il is a scheme that
must be handled skilfully 70 be successful
Il should never be resorted TO unless the
sentiment of the minority party is almost
unanimously In favor Of il. When il is
forced upon the minority party against
the protests of a large portion OF its voters,
& is apt to create divisions in the minority
party also, and in this event, the dis
satisfied voters Of that party are as
likely to throw their votes 10 the stronger
faction Of the majority party as to cast
them in Endorsement Of the fusion
So far as the figures of recent elections
are concerned, even the Republican divi-
sions do not afford much encouragement
to Democratic victory. Roosevelt polled
$4,000 votes at the election of 1904, and
Parker only 3S5,4SO This difference OF
more than half million permits Of a
regular Republican victory, even with
the Lincoln and straight Democratic
tickets in the field The argument OF
the straightout Democrats was however
that the Democratic party II united on a
straight ticket, can poll 100000 mop
votes than were given to Parker, which
total would win with the Republican yot,
about evenly divided between the regu-
lar Republicans and Lincolnites, as they
claim il win be-
However. fusion has been agreed upon
and il remains % be seen whether It vii
be powerful enough to defeat the Repub,
lican machine.

oHINA,s FUTURE.
The Next Twenty-Five Years a Period Of
Tremendous Importance.

The Next Twenty-Five Years a Period Of
Tremendous Importance.
Joseph Franklin Grggs In the Century.
All observers, Chinese and foreign
agree that this is a period Of tremendous
Importance. The reforms of today may
make rapid strides, or a reaction may set
in against a progress for which the land
seems scarcely ready. Il is not TO be
supposed that such strides will not tread
down some whose influence must be
reckoned with. The large number Of
teachers whose vaunted learning has thus
been negatived will be the first to feel the
pressure. Fitted for nothing else too
proud to work, if employment could be
offered to them, their means of livelihood
will be taken away. Will IL be without a
protest VIII the well-known peace
loving proclivities of the Chinese people
carry them through. or shall we see riot
and bloodshed VIII the moral stamina
of the refomers stand the test of in
creased opportunity for power and ambi-
tion
The history Of other nations leads us
TO think that troubles times of one degree
or another will follow in the wake of
these changes At all events il is tre-
mendously interesting The former
president Of one os our universities, now
a resident of China, whose grasp on So
Geological problems is thorough and
whose insight is keen, says that from the
standpoint Of absorbing interest he would
rather live the next 25 years in China
than TO have lived in any other land
during any 80 years of its history. Now
that the eyes of the world are leaving
the seas of Japan and the battlefelds Of
Manchuria, they viii in all probability
find new iiNation point not far away
which will rivet their attention for year
10 come. The interest which Russia vii
share with China will, TO a great extent
trace its origin TO similar causes.

PIpe LInea as Common carrIers.

flpe Limos as common CdTFleThs
Because the conference committee Of
Senate and House of Representatives,
in considering the Railroad Rates bill,
eliminated the provision making oil pipe
lines common carriers, Senator Tillman
INDUCED in insinuations, almost equal to
charges, that the change was due to the
corrupting influence Of Standard Oil.
That Standard Oil has a bad reputation,
and deservedly so, will not be disputed;
but little reflection will show that Con-
gressmen who voted to eliminate the
provision making oil pipe lines common
carriers might have done so with proper
motives, and without rendering themselves
liable to the charge Of showing special
favors TO the great oil corporation
This fact must be borne in mind: Every
pipe line was constructed for the specific
purpose of conveying the oil produced by
the company which constructed it, and
not for common carrier purposes. Now,
should company which laid a pipe line
for the purpose Of conveying its own oil
TO the seaboard be compelled to convey
oil produced by concerns that have not
constructed such a line; or be denied the
use of it because other oil concerns must
ship 10y rail
It might as well be argued that a man
who owns a team for his own hauling
purposes should be compelled to do haul

cow out upon the herder's approach
and he fails to round 1t up, and all
unknown to us it roams the neighbor-
hood. Again, in the evening the COW
is often driven to our neighborhood
and left to take chances of getting
home. Perhaps this could be remedied
by the cattle owners getting together
and insisting upon the herder doing
his duty, AMI upon his failure to do
so, make UP fund and have the COWS
herded on a salary by some one who
will do the work properly In my
opinion the city council should pass
an ordinance compelling the town
herder to give bond for the faithful
performance of his duty, with penalty
attached for failure to do it. All COW
owners are not mean cusses; we want
the COWS but we do not want them to
become a nuisance; and they need not
