POLITICAL STAR GAZING.

Friends of Governor Baldwin in New Haven now intimate that the gov ernor is not quite as anxious to run for office this fall as heretofore. It is whispered that he has been looking at the political skies and has inquired of the political seers and he likes neither the signs nor the warnings His position, however, will not be
 made known until later. He still has some hopes that conditions will change Post.
 The Post is one of the best newspa- pers in the state, but somehow it has never been able to see an appreciat- five value in Governor Baldwin, yet he is recognized everywhere as an able man and has proven it on several oc casions. It is difficult to understand whether his scanning the political skies as explained above was for his cwni instruction, or in the interest of Homer Cummings. Congressman Ma ders, as the Courant would say, all candfdates, according to rumor, for Uniteds States senator. It is very de- sirable that the weather should be fine forgsuch an important event, but the Post is a bit derelict in it's duty l in not chnonicling what the governor saw when he scanned. What did he see or with whom did he confer as to l the signs? Was it Charley Comstock, who has also been doing some scan ming and is reported to have seen in the milky way everything which tend ! ed to prove that he is to be the next governor of Connecticut? The, only thing lacking was the plurality, but / he may see that in the next look. Such experienced astronomers as Henry Roraback, Bob" Eaton, "Sid" Hawley, Morris Webster, Herbert Knox Smith and Joe" Alsop have all been scanning, have been seeing things in the nebulous masses in the skies and some of them must be mis- taken, if their predictions are to
 be given any credence. It looks las if they have been seeking in Formation in the wrong place. There
 might be some excuse for some of the
 such a practice should be indulged in
 by such an astute student as thte gov
 ernor. The Post is not trying to play

State Consta bulary Best. Philadelphia Record.)

Pennsylvanians who remember the Homestead riots of 1892, when the killing of strikers by Pinkerton operatives led to such scenes of vio- fence that it was necessary to call out the entire national guard; the slaughter at Latimer, in Luzerne county, when sheriff's posse shot down a number of armed miners. and similar incidents of other years, may we'll feel grateful that their state has passed-and, let us hope, forever that condition of barbarism through which Colorado is now painfully mak- troubles. In the old days the coal and iron police fulfilled here, in time of stress, the functions which i'll the Centennial state have fallen to the armed guard This duty of protect ing the property of employers from injury is, of course, an eminently
 proper one, and the only question
 arises as to how it can be best ac-
 complished, with entire justice to
 both sides in the dispute. Here in
 Pennsylvania we have found that a
 non-political state constabulary is
 vastly superior to the armed guards,
 deputy sheriffs or militia, whose
 methods during the past two years in West Virginia, Michigan and now Colorado have aroused such fierce an- tagonism.
 At this distance it is impossible to
 estimate recent events in Colorado
 with entire accuracy, but judging by all accounts, the militia seem to have
 acted with almost incredible ferocity toward the strikers and their fam lilies. Not much can be expected from armed guards, who are, of
 course, simply mercenaries drawn too often from the very dregs of so- ciety. In Colorado the strikers seem to have shown entire respect to the
 federal troops, and in this state the
 state constables have inspired the same. feeling. It is recognized that 1 they stand simply for law and or der. without any of that personal animus which frequently prompts na- l tional guardsmen and armed guards | to unjustiiable acts. Pennsylvania may feel justly proud that, alone among the forty eight states of the union, it has found the solution of l this most difficult problem It has 1 pointed the way, and if other com 1 monwealths, especially those where l labor troubles are likely to occur, have neglected to follow, the blame is theirs. Capt. Groom- and his hel-
 meted troopers form a model that
 cannot be improved upon. Their work
 has been so successful because of the l high personnel of the men and the i complete absence of all political mo- l tives in their conduct.

LARGER ARMY NEEDED.

According to telegraphic advices from Washington today the war de- |partment is beginning to realize the necessity of more troops in Mexico. hot for the purpose of prom oting peace, but to protect the lives and property of Americans.
 Its has long been apparent to those, At least, who have not been favored with confidential advice of those di- rectly in charge, that this country, now that 1t has gone into Mexico, needs large army there if 1t is to garry out it's object and a still larger pne if the country is to offer resis- lance. The. latter was naturally ex- pected and General Funston appears ko be confident, judging from the in formation given by refugees from Mexico City, that the situation there s far from satisfactory. If there hould be a serious uprising there and he United States were unable to cope with it without a large loss of life which might be avoided if the army s increased to the strength required by General Funston, there would be ong and loud unfavorable comment. f is no time for dillydallying, but one or this government, now that it has zone into Mexico, to do it's work ex- beditiously and get out again. If here should be needless loss of life n Mexico there will be severe criti- eism, and the surest way to avoid it z to prepare for conditions which are likely to arise there any day. This
 act is being pretty thoroughly inn
 ressed upon the authorities at Wash hgton at present

Workers For the Towns.
(Brockton Times

An echo of the unemployment diff faculties lately experienced by all large cities is heard in the new plan of the Boston branch of the Salva- ton Army, which purposes to furnish workers for the small towns of New England. On a small scale, the ar rangement is almost precisely that recommended in suggestions for "a government-manag national eni- ployment bureau. In times of indus trial quiet, one section of the country needs men, another does not In the absence of a directing agency, the oversupply and the shortage, both wasteful, remain until corrected by the natural course of events. As NsEfor turning city workers out to rural communities, no such scheme would succeed along broad lines. It has been tried, as recently as during last win ter, when the unemployed in New York city refused to accept work in villages and on farms. Dealing with the unemployed individually, how ever, might produce better results. Though no great number of families could be placed in this way, some hundreds could be sent from a city of Boston's size to smaller cities or towns within half a days journey of the distributing center. Even if the larger cities found no relief in the plan, the towns would The trend toward the city, which persists even in dull times, leaves many vacant jobs in the smaller places along the way.
