What's the Use 2

TIHE rehabilitation of the Republican party
l. is essential to the prosperity Of the ma
tion. 1t cannot be rehabilitated in one state:
it must be rehabiltated in many states. 1t
cannot be rehabilitated at all until the sore
spots on it are cured. Convalescence assumes
eradication of disease.
No, it is Fenroseism that has given the
country a free-trade tariff. That tariff will
he perpetuated If Mr.. Penrose is indorsed in
November This Is SO open and obvious
proposition that politicians in Pennsylvania
are the only ones who do not understand it.
The way to get a protective tariff is to get
Republican President and a Republican Con-
gress. Mr.. ?enrose cannot get it, His infu-
cnce in Washington has dwindled to such an
extent that it is scarcely known whether he
is in town or out of town Even Republicans
who are close to him are careful not to let
their constituencies know 1t. what's the use
Of having Senator who must he apoog2ed
for in and out of season?

Stockholders for Ranid Transit

TNHE greatest corporation in this commu-
i nifty is the municipal corporation. In it
every citizen is a stockhoder. Whatever the
stockholders of the Union Traction Company,
through their directorate, decide to do-and
they are well within their rights to do or not
do whatever they pease-the stockholders in
the municipal corporation are overwhelm-
ingly for rapid transit. They have at their
command an Incompatible credit. They are
able through their own patronage to assure
the financial success Of the project. They, at
least are willing TO dedicate their assets to
the great program. The ohstructionists are
almost to Gettysburg.

THE decision Of the majority in Washing

blunder Of depending too much on the Ma

damentally the business of the United states,
but there is a very big opportunity for Penn
sylvania and Philadelphia to cooperate on
their own account in putting this port on
a parity with any other in the world. Nature
has been prodigal enough, although requiring
a little CoaXirC II is altogether probable
that the next Legislature will take up the
matter in earnest Philadelphia harbor is

TT THOSE interested in innocent Sunday

States brig Washington, and taken TO New
London. The Spanish Minister demanded the
delivery of the slaves, so they might be taken
to Cuba for trial
President Van Buren was anxious to comply,
for the sake of comfy, but the Anti-Slavery
Society obtained counsel and the United States
District Court decided that even under Spanish
law slave trade Illegal and that the
negroes were free men
The Circuit Court affirmed this decision and
In March, 1S41, the Supreme Court followed
suit. In this tribunal, John Quincy Adams
espoused the cause of the slaves without re-

that degrades the punished will degrade the
who infiicts it."
Here is little story about a man who Is
the figure of power in a little church not far
from our city. You know the kind of man l
mean Some men. by very reason of their
dominating personalities rather than their
executive ability, naturally grayitate TO posi-
tions where those about them look up 10 them
as a matter of course.
One evening this man passed young member
OF his church ON street corner, In fact me
young man was the oTganist, and In receipt of
