Pennypacker.

The repeal of the Pennypacker press muz-
zling act by the Pennsylvania legislature
follows hard upon the retirement from office
of the man upon whose request the absurd
law passed. Nothing in mis- short ca
reer in politics injured Gov. Pennypacker
quite so much as his effort to punish those
of his critics who were connected with the
daily press. Writers and cartoonists alike
seemed to infuriate him, and toward the
latter his feelings ran particularly high.
But his little law after he had got it proved
of no force except as against himself. 1t
made him ridiculous. Some of his best
friends laughed at him, and the most capa
bic of his opponents found fresh inspiration
in his exposed attitude. A little politics is
dangerous thing. Especially to man
who for years has been protected by a
judges gown.

In support Of his proposition Mr.. Morgan
submits:
1T Is the duty of the United States gov

the free and unobstructed opportunity to
offered to them, and which the United
States owes to them, of repatriation in their
own country without let or hindrance.
THE native resources of Central Africa
present vast stores of treasure to invite
their aid in developing the wealth of that
country, and it is time the United States
should interpose it's just powers, whatever
they may be, in aiding these exiles to es-
tablish their sovereign rights in the coun-
try that God has given to them"
This opens up wide field for '.halcyon
and vociferous" discussion. AS a people
we profited in material sense by the
inhumanties of the original slave sellers.
and now we set up to rebuke and redress
the inhumanities of King Leopod's agents.
which, extreme as they probably have been,
are no worse. We helped show the way in
depressing the Congo people, and now APP

tons of cotton and tobacco caused their

have caused their present undoing.

Stock Jobbery.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
There are railroad men who operate rail-
roads for the purpose of hauling freight and
pa 5sengers; Mr.. Hartman and his kind
operate railroads for the purpose of manip-
ulating stocks. No wonder there was a
slump in the stock market as soon as Mr..
Harrimans testimony was given. That sort
of stock-jobbng by railroad magnate''
is enough to shake the confidence of all
holders of railroad securities. and the first
impulse of a man who has lost faith is to
sell out.

As to the Mollycoddle.

From the Hartford Times.
The mollycoddle, at whom President
Roosevelt SHE'D a brckbat in his Harvard
address, is a first cousin of the craven
and the weakling. AS we understand
it the mollycoddle is sissy sort of
fellow who would avoid any sport rougher
than ping pong, who wouldn't venture out
in a snow storm, and whose backbone re-
sembles bologna sausage. If ne wore pet
tieoats his favorite article of diet would be
caramclS.

TRADE NORMAL FOR SEASON.

The 9stringency' does not seem to
have LETT any marked impress behind it
in the matter of current, seasonable
trade in the City of Astoria. The mer-
chants are not complaining as yet, and
the people are out and buying steadily,
day and night, the scope of purchases
ranging only bit behind the volumne
noted last year; and even yet better
average may be struck before Christ
mas noon, when the retail season lapses
for good and all.
There may be, in the general outcome,
some notable deficiencies over last year,
but they will be in specific lines, and
win hardly disturb the real sum of ex-
penditure when the January balances
are struck, and even if the limits are
under the record lin the face Of all that
threatened for the better part of two
months past), we of Astoria will have
but small ground for grouching; the les.
ser evil is, at times, the thing to be
happiest over, and affords satisfaction
not always felt or realized when things
are at normal pitch.

The latest expression Of wide.sprune

freedom of ordinary humanity shall b
largely conserved. The combination sei
up by a revolver and fool is one thai

THE AMERICAN 0pTIMIST.

These are days when you can tell the
natural optimist from the born pessi'
mist. Look close and you'll discover
that some of the most radical assail.
ants of existing evils are optimists,
while many Of the most professional con.
servatives are pessimists.
And that circumstance points to the
often overlooked fact that it is the
hopeful citizen who carries the banner
OF every successful reform in this coun-
try. He believes that evils can be
remedied and wrongs righted, while fire.
|quently, his opponent is the person
whose conservatism is really stubborn
|hopelessness.
The saving grace Of America 10 optim-
ism. The resilient and regnant spirit
of the nation is hopefulness. While it
lis common these days to speak Of "lack
Of confidence" 1t Is only the chronic
pessimist who does not have ultimate
confidence, and who does not realize
that, in the very nature Of things. our
country Is the paramount country ol
confidence. ts
American optimism is based on the
solidest foundation on this planet. No
observer can travel a days journey any
where in America without marking thf
stupendous extent Of unusued land and
material. We are young country and
a young civilization.
And the greatest vindication of Amer
ican optimism is that it expresses itseli
not in the "What's the usei" attitude
but in doing battle manfully for better
things and the larger human welfare.
American optimism is rising to thu
present occasion and rapidly taking
command of the crisis.-Exchange.
