THE OLD AND THE NEW.
TContinued from First Page. !

the past. | can say with Whittier:
1.-THE eyes of memory will not sleep
It's ears are open still;
And vigils with the past they keep
Against my feeble will"
And now with that sentiment and
the knowledge of my memory still
good, desire to turn the slate and
see how much gloom and sadness
appears in these latter days; in the
closing up of old hcmes and the for
getting of the friends who once oc-
cupied them. In my daily walks
as / pass | call TO memory many Of
them. The McKelvy home. now
occupied by the First National
Bank, post Office and other offices;
the VIM. Neal home, now occupied
by the magnificent Masonic Tenn
pie; the A. J. Sloan home, now o.
cupied by Mrs. Cleveland; the Ja-
cob Eyer mansion, row owned by
A. H. Schoch; the Israel Wells
home. now owned by Mrs. Reber;
the J. ]. Brewer home, now owned
by J. NJ. Robbins; the Elisha H.
Biggs home, now occupied by Mrs.
K K. Little new house; the l.. B.
Rupert home, now owned by John
G. Freeze; the Morris Sloan home,
now part of +. B. Tustin's S lawn;
the Jesse Shannon home, now occu.
pied by former Commissioner Fish
er; the Joseph Sharpless and DR..
Ramsey home, now owned by DR..
John. l could lengthen this out
sevEAl sheets, but will close by an
nouncing to the public the closing
of the Judge Elwell home on Third
street. Perhaps there is no closing
of homes in this place that comes to
me with more sadness than this one,
being just opposite from where l
have lived for over forty years, only
separated in the rear by All alley.
Persons, with myself, were surpris-
ed when Judge Elwell purchased
this home, supposing him to desire
more prominent location in ac-
cordance with his public position.
But soon learned of his quiet and
retiring disposition, and in later
years was convinced that his selec-
tion Of home was a wise one. 1t
became an ideal spot for him. When
after the spring courts were held he
could be seen almost daily in his
garden cultivating early vegetables
and flowers, with all ENJOYABLE ride
in the evening behind his big black
horse. The home is now offered
for sale. thus ending the former
home Of one Of Columbia county's
greatest jurists. These are sad
things to contemplate in our latter
times. They will come to every
family in Bloomsbury.

constitution of the United States
declares "the Senate of the United
States shall be composed Of two
Senators from each State, chosen
by the Legislature thereof" Any
other system of selecting Senators
in Congress would be subversive of
that constitution and invalid and
that being the case it is not likely
that Chairman Donnelly or any
other sane Democrat would bother
with it. The Democrats i'll the
Legislature voted for the bill simply
as matter OF form; it may be said
that they had little if any interest
in it.
The friends of Chairman Donnel-
ly in the Legislature congratulated
him during his visit to the capitol
on his appointment to the Office Of
City Commissioner of Philadelphia
by the unanimous vote of the Board
of Judges Under the constitution
Of the State it was necessary to ap-
point a Democrat or City Party
man. Mr.. Donnelly was not can
didate for the office and had no de.
sire for it. In fact he accepted the
appointment reluctantly but in obe-
dience to a sense of duty. Never
theless his selection under the cir
cumstances was a high tribute to
his efficiency in the Office and to his
personal integrity.
THE GRAFT INVESTIGATION.
The capitol prcbers spent most OF
last week in New York where they
got little information beyond the
fact that one sub-contractor testified
that he agreed to pay Architect
Huston ten per cent. of any money
he received from the State for in
PRODUCING him to Contractor San.
derson. During the only session
held in Harrisburg last week it was
discovered that the contract under
which Congressman Cassell's conf
pany made the steel filing cases has
been lost or stolen. Anyway it can't
be found i'll any of the departments.
1t is believed that the document
would have proved valuable evil
dence in the event of criminal pro-
ceeding after the pending inquiry is
completed.
Business was rushed through both
branches Of the Legislature last
week and if the same measure cf
industry is maintained to the end,
it is safe to say that the calendars
will be cleared by the time fixed by
the House for final adjournment.
In that event the only thing that
would stand in the way of adjourn
ment would be the capitol graft in
vestigation. 1t is practically GER
tain that more than the five weeks
from this time until the 9th of May
will be required to complete the in.
vestigation and everybody realizes
that the report of the commission
ought to be made public at once.
For that reason the final adjourn
ment may not occur until near the
first of June. G. D. H.

The scenery and stage settings
used in John w. Vogel's Big City
Minstrels, which comes to the
Grand Opera House on Monday,
April 22nd is said to te the most
elaborate and expensive ever used
for a similar purpose; the setting is
called the Oriental Palace, befit-
ting title, because of the appropriate
costumes, and the numerous and
powerful calcium and electrical ef-
fects used thereon. This is the
only setting of the kind in use by a
minstrel organization, as the cost OF
same prohibits the average mana
ger from investing the amount OF
capital required.

Constitutional Convention.

The house has finally passed the
bill for a constitutional convention,
the vote standing 1856 for to eigh-
teen against. The bill now goes
to the senate for their approval.
There seems to be considerable
sentiment in the state in favor of
the bill. II will mean the election
of three delegates from each sena-
torial district in the state, who will
meet at Harrisburg and proceed to
frame a new constitution for the
state. After their work is finished, ,
the constitution as it comes from
their hands will have to be adver-
tised and voted OH Ivy the people,
and is liable to fail when the work
would be in vain. and we would
still be doing business under the
old constitution. A proposition to
hold constitutional convention
was voted down in 1892 by an over
whelming majority.

was iDtlOuuNGu HI IlSut, Out a
motion 10 lay it on the table carried
by an overwhelming majority.
But the Holsters of the Pennsyl.
vania Legislature took the bait with
an alacrity that was surprising.
Two years ago when the railroad
rate bill was pending in Congress
and the president: was sweating
blood i'll his anxiety to get it
through, Mr.. Greasy introduced a
resolution instructing the Pennsyl-
vania Senators and requesting her
Representatives in Congress to sup.
port the measure. The resolution
was adopted unanimously on the
impulse but Immediately afterward

sion or the Broad Street station the
vote was reconsidered and the reso-
luton defeated. Representative
Hitchcock was among those who
took the dose Of crow on that occa-
sion and he has probably been suf-
fering with indigestion ever since.
At all events he introduced the
resolution last week and supported
it with Il speech so sycophantic as
to create nausea.
So Pennsylvania stands pledged
to Roosevelt and his policies and
practices. This is interesting though
more or less perplexing. In other
words we are left in doubt as to
whether it was his attempt to
"electioneer" the Vatican in order
to get an American Cardinal who
would prostitute the Catholic
church to the base uses of Roose-
veltism, his efforts to get trust
funds for the purpose of political
corruption through Hartman, his
promotion of a White House en-
ploye for dragging a helpless wo-
man through the mud and mire, or
his creation of an Ananias Club

thing in relation to Teddy has been
endorsed upequivocally and until
Perrose takes few of the recreants
by the nose, it will stay endorsed.
DEFECT IN THE PRIMARY ELEC-
TIoN LAW.
Chairman Charles P. Donnelly
Of the Democratic State Committee,
was in Harrisburg on Tuesday of
last week for the purpose of calling
the attention of Senators and Rep
resentatives in the Legislature to
some fatal defects in the Primary
election law enacted at the special
session last year which the Lydrick
bill now pending fails to correct.
The existing law provides for hold
ing State conventions to nominate
State tickets but requires that they
be held within week from the
date Of the June primary elections.
The returns of those elections are
to be made on Tuesday following
and are to be canvassed on We'd
nesday. That leaves only Thurs
day and Friday to get ready for a |
State convention which it is physi-
cally impossible to do. The Ly-
drick bill makes no change in this
provision of the law and Chairman
Donnelly tried to get that fault cor
rected.
Mr.. Donnelly discussed no other
subject of legislation during his stay
at the State capitol but some of the
hys,erical newspaper correspondents
tortured the incident into an effort
to help the Republican machine
defeat an absurd bill in relation to
voting for candidates for United
Stats Senator at the primary cleo
tions. Section 3 of Article / of the

While it makes the blood pure, fresh

Wantn a Rest.

Atmore Spectrum.
 Governor Conner has called the legis- lature to meet on November I, and has given as the principal item in the proclamation railroad regulation.
 It Is thought by some that he will repeal many of tIAe drastic laws of the earlier session. having realized the measures are too drastic. We hope that this is true for through Alabama and the South, business In general is feeling the war on railroads. Money in our business centers is scarce. as an evidence of this we note number of banks advertising for money, offering interest on time deposits. showing that the demand for cash Is greater than the supply.
 We note that many, manufacturing plants are cutting down their force. A dispatch says that a big car manu- featuring plant has laid off 5000 of It's l2, 900 employees and where they had turned out ninety-six cars per day, the will now only turn out but nineteen. and all because so much legislation adverse to rail road interest. they have been com pelled to cancel orders for equipment.
 This same condition exists In many places. It has been but few months when there was two jobs for every man, but we are fast reaching the point that we find two men for every job.

A FINE SPECIAL EDITION.

Editor Tom Garner and all who are associated with him in the publica- tion of The Times Gazette. have reason to feel proud of the illustrated editio l of The Times-Gazette recently issued It is probably the best paper that ever came out of Tuscaloosa. In point of attfactiveness few of the big city dailies nave exceiled it.
 The edition is printed on costly book paper, on which the illustrations make handsome showings- The chief article in the edition is on "The Future of Transportation on the Warrior River. " It draws attention to the great trade possibilities, in the completion of tle system of locks in the Warrior-an irn- provement, the importance of which the State of Alabama has never realized. Accompanying the article is 2 cut showing a Warrior River tow-boat carrying eight barges of freight in one of the locks.
 The present industrial and commer- eial prosperity of Tuscaloosa is given adequate representation in the issue And what is more to the point, the pie Turesque and beautiful features of Tus- caloosa, so admired by the friends ot the old Capital of Alabama, are hot ignored. The old Capitol building. built by famous architect at a cost of $1SO.- GOO, and low used as girls school is shown, as we'll as some of the beau tiful old homes. which have given Tus- caloosa wide fame.
 Tuscaloosa, as well as The Times Gazette has a right to be proud of the edition.

THE NEXT STATE.

New Mexico to Follow Oklhhoma Into Golfers Weekly.
 After sixty years of more or less patient waiting, New Mexico at last finds Statehood in sight On his trip down the Mississippi River the Presi- dent committed himself to the admis- sion of the new Territory. Inviting the Governors of Oklahoma and New Mexico to his boat, he said: T want the Governor of the Territory that has become a State and the Governor of the Territory that is to become State to ride with me"
 In the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo between the United States and Mexi- co. concluded in l84s, the American Government inserted Article 3 of the Louisiana Treaty; which gave the promise:
 The inhabitants of the ceded terri tory shall become incorporated in the Union Of the United States, and admit ted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the Federal Constitu- | ton. to hefenioymeHt of all the rights. advantages and immunities of citizens of the United States
 The first state admitted under the pledge of the original Louisiana trea- ty was Louisiana, nine years after the promise was given. The last bit | of the Louisiana Purchase, oklah ona. is just now passing out of the territo- rial condition ,one hundred and four l years dLtef the treaty or ceSSlOn was | signed The proceedings under the Mexican treaty have been little more rapid. California was admitted in 1850, two years after it's acquisition, Ne. vada in 1864 and Utah in 1896. Parts of Colorado. admitted in 1876, and of | Wyoming, admitted in 1890, were al- so included in the Mexican cession.
 Only Arizona and New Mexico are still left outside the Union 2 of the States. Neither of these has yet had such a boom as to force it's claim upon tCongress. Tn 1896 New Mexico had 91,874 inhabitants. which was more than Colorado, Dakota (then unitedl, Idaho, Montana. Nevada, oregon. Utah Washington or Wyoming had at that time. In 1900 the population of New Mexico was 195.S1O. and Colorado, the Dakotas, Montana, Oregon, Utah and Washington had passed her in tlee interval. But even now New Mexico is more populOus than Delaware. Ida ho. Nevada or Wyoming. She would have been admitted long ago if her people had been Americanized more promptly! When she comes in, Arizona will be the only Territory in the main body of the United States, and it will not be possible much longer to resist the demand for a final cleanup of the territorial system.

His earlier classical stu dies were carried on at the Montreal Seminary. after which he studied phiI- osophy at Issy. in France and followed the theological course of the Roman College. In 1878 he was ordained in Rome and while in the Holy City he attended the authorization of Pope Leo XIII. and later he carried off with distinction the~ degree of Doctor of Divinity. sOn his return to Montreal he became professor of dogmatic theoi- ogy at Laval University.

Lamar Democrat ture is a certainty and for the life of us we cannot keep from thinking of that enormous amount of money already expended for additional talent and the one to be hereafter appropriat- ed to defray the expense of the extra session. The legislature was recently in session and passed laws in ac- cordance with the views and wishes of the Governor upon the very questions stated in his call for the extra session. If his views are different now to what they were then may they not be dif- ferent two months after the close of this extra session from what they are now? Besides we doubt very material ly if the Legislature can pass laws denying an individual the right of ap- peal or injunction without getting tangled up with the Federal constitu- tion.
