PENNSYLVANIA.

By the death of Mr.. Knox and Mr..
Penrose-Mr. Penrose following Mr..
Knox in short time-Pennsylvania is
placed in a new position in the Senate.
For many years she has been in the
front rank in that body. The elder
Cameron was a leader in his day, and
his son, who succeeded him, soon made
his way to influence.
Mr.. Quay ranked with the success
full politicians on Capitol Hill, while
Mr.. Penrose, a protege. reached higher
committee assignments than his spon-
sor had ever secured.
Mr.. Knox. with no political training,
first reached the Senate through q
brief service in the attorney general
ship, but soon developed taste and
talent for legislative work, and at the
time of his death was one of the fore
most members of the Senate, both as
respected debating power and capacity
for committee work.
For more than half a century, there
fore, the keystone state has had on
deck in the Senate one man, and some
times two, familiar with "the lay of
the land" and prominent in the or
Sanization and labors of that body.
Now. with two new figures there, she
must "bide awee" before resuming her
old place.
But it may not be for long. They
produce a very capable brand Of poll
tician in Pennsylvania; and Mr.. Grow,
who has succeeded Mr.. Knox, and Gov.
Sproul, who may succeed Mr.. Pen
rose, are men OF force at home, and
should be able to show in the national
field the qualities that have brought
them "pull'' and importance at home.

gregate in the entertainment Of callers
with refreshments, liquid and solid. In
many homes music added to the pleas-
ure Of the occasion. The receptions
began early in the afternoon and con
tinued often until late in the evening
1t was no uncommon sight to see men
stirring around town long before the
supposedly rigid time limit Of o'clock
clad in full evening dress with white
gloves, for the receptions were always
conducted under artificial light, and
the conditions of the evening were
maintained SO that the sWallow-tail
coat and the broad expanse of white
shirt was appropriate whatever the
hour. The more scrupulous observers
Of the dictates Of fashion made their
rounds in "hacks'-it was long be-
fore the day Of automobiles-both in
order to cover as much ground as pos
sible and to remain unseen by the pub
lie in the strange garb of eventide in
the broad blaze Of sunlight.
Usually the receptions developed
into dances and veritable parties at
the latter stage Of the night. and New
Year was thus celebrated literally
from morning until the early hours Of
the next day. And on the morrow the
hostesses counted up the cards in their
trays and baskets and reckoned the
success of their receptions according to
that score. Good resolutions made on
the stroke of midnight on New Year
eve were often broken within the next
twenty-four hours. The custom OF re
ceptions put them to a severe test, and
only the stoutest survived.
For this good old custom" there
are now to be heard here and there
deep sighs Of regret. Yet there are
those who do not repine at It's passing.
1t may be doubted whether it could
possibly continue after the advent OF
the automobile, making for long'range
activity on New Year day if the day
should be fair, and the movies, which
tempt so many from social intercourse
into more solitary forms of enjoyment.

Last Years Lynehing Activities.

There is no feature Of our national
life more humiliating to students OF
government than our lynching statis-
tics. They are faithfully and accurate
ly kent. One years record Is compared
with another's. Now the bloody law
lessness is at sort Of high tide, now
not so high. But, unfortunately, the
tide, even when lowered, is high
enough to give the country q bad
name, and to cause wonder among
those who cherish the country ana
would be glad to see its name free
from so hideous blot.
The figures for 1891 are promptly
available. They are slightly in excess
of those for the year previous. They
show that the lynching spirit was
strong and active, and distributed over
a wide area. Ten states were involved,
and sixty.three men and women ac-
cused of various crimes done to death
at the hands of mobs. Less than one
third Of the whole number were ac-
cused of rape-the crime oftenest
QuOteQ IN eAleuudIlHG AVAOA VAASSS w
mobs.
Only four Of the sixty-three victims
were white. Two were negro women.
Four were burned alive, and Ave were
burned after death.
There is no mention of any steps
taken against the lynchers. probably
because there were none that came to
anything. The lynchers go about their
work with supreme confidence. They
are seldom disturbed either before or
after events. They have become a sort
of privileged brotherhood, almost
boastful about their performances.
Anything to be done about it? No
remedy has yet been found. or at least
applied, and in some quarters the sub
iect has become almost a bore. Don't
mention itr' is either frankly ex'
pressed in words, or in manner, when
the subject is introduced.

New Year Resolution.

= New Year Resolution.
The winter seemed so pleasant
And so generous for while,
With sunshine for present
That brought many a Christmas
smile.
We thought the world was learning
The ways Of peaceful cheer
And was ready to be turning
A new leaf for the new year.
But the snowflakes flash and furry
And the frosty breezes prowl.
The troetops moan and worry
And the skies begin to scowl.
It's an ancient institution,
And We like to play the game.
But the New Year resolution
Always works about the same.
