? a -man And his platform.
One of the nioal Interestln>? Stale
campaign* of tho year Is that to ho
Waged for the governorship of Penn?
sylvania. There has been a fusion
of the Democratic party and of tihe
POW Lincoln Republicans In an effort
to overthrow the gang which ha*
for a long time dominated affairs In
the Keystone State. The fusion can?
didate Is Lewis Emory. Jr . of Brad?
ford. In accepting the nomination,
he said:
"I trust I am neither a demagogue
' nor an anarchist. 1 have never truck?
led to power In order to curry favor
nur pandered to the vicious In order
to gain voles, hut, for more than a
quarter of n century, 1 have labored
to udtotblish a reign of lnw. I have
fought for popular rights, honest gov?
ernment and equality of opportunity
updpr Wie law. That Is all I now
seek; that Is all you ask: thai Ik
all tho people demand. More than
that no one shall get, loss than that
no one. shall have. If One people place
nie In the governor's office and thure
Is any authority under the law by
WJiioh tho chief executive can act.
No one, wthother corporation, llrm
or Individual, will have cause lb fear
, .BO long as the law Is obeyed; but
\\ pledge my word and my sacred
, honor Hint, If elected, I will make
. tpe laws of this commonwealth re
i Spectpd by enforcing them Impar
tfally?ullke against great and small,
against powerful corporal Ion as
against obscure transgressor, but not |
ohe whit more vigorously against
tne one titan against the oilier. The
sifluare deal means exact and equal
j Justice for all. Thai Is the plat?
form upon which 1 stand, and with
- if I shall tall, If tho people of Penn-1
aylvnnla declare against It."
;Upon such a platform It should not
" be a difficult matter for tlhe. fusion
. candidate In secure the undivided |
' support of those who are opposed to
ths present ring. Another thing I
which nmy ho of service to IMr. Win?
ery in these days of reform ami
:' when corporation baiting seems to
. be the order of the day, Is the fact
that (hp was one of the orlginnl op?
ponents ?f the. rebate evil. It Is re
' called by his friends that he proba
; blri was the Ural mun In the United
States to move against discrimina?
tion In railroad rates. This was in |
% 1873, but the first interstate com
:,roerce law, ' whloh grew from his I
' work, was not passed by Congress |
'until 1885.
fe ' In 1872 Mr. mery was a member
.of the Oil 'Producers' Association,
made up of a group of oil operators
X northwestern Pennsylvania, banded |
igethor to resist tho growing pow
eV the Standard oil. It Is stated |
t|t if the leaders In this associa
on had cared collectively or In
idually to enter. Into fhe opera
US of the Standard, as It Was
rrent rumor at the time they wer?
r|ted to, every one of them could
count their fortune In nutltl
tllllonu. Llko the others. Mr. Emery
isted the temptation of gold aml|
ted in the fight.
,t was Mr. Emery wfoo suggested
?;his associates ?nt. they fight in
ingress the unjust discriminations
oh they had discovered the rail
'jjr.'twere granting t?te Standard oil.
e rlibbard bill was the outcome of
BJmery's efforts. Defeat met this
but Mr. Emery kept fighting for
?jt W?.3 Introduced successively as
. Hopkins - bill, the Watson 'bill
d the* ?eagan bill. Under this
t name it waB^made the basis for
^taferstste commerce law.
t'guch e'recbrd1 It Is more than
probable that Mr...Emiery will give
the leaders of the 0. O. P.' some;
thing to think about boforo election
day. Those are bad times for the
rlngstors, nnywny, and when the op?
ponents of corruption as it Is mani?
fested In State mid municipal affairs
select such men as Emery for Mielr
leaders, the outlook for the gang Is
not promising,
TEACHERS AND THE MARRYING
HABIT.
The habit of marrying which seems
to have become one of the fixed ten?
ets of a lurr;e proportion of the fe?
male Sdhbol teachers In the West Is
causing a good deal of worry among
the members of school boards, espe?
cially In Iowa, Nebraska ami South
Dakota. In those three States IlloilC
a shortage of a thousand teachers
will have taken placo when school
opens at the end of the vacation sea?
son.
In Nebraska tho sohool touchers
are reported as getting married at n
rale unknown to the hint three de?
cades, and there Is a demand al?
ready for 100 leathers, with the wan*,
list growing. In Iowa the total
shortage for the Stale is placed nl
-11)1) country positions.
Those who are feeling the pinch
of the situation are Inclined to blame
President Roosevelt for the uiisatis
factory condition of affairs. They
say tilt a i his gospel of anti-race sui?
cide, and of the large family us n
patriotic distinction, with the glori?
fication of motherhood to an extent
hitherto unknown, has obtained eager
acceptance among the people of the
west wish whom he hns been so po?
tent n prophet.
If this sort of thing keeps up it
may be* necessnry for the school
hoards to Increase salaries until the
profession of teaching will appeal to
men. Under present wages the wo?
men regard teaching simply as a
makesCitft to enable them to pay
board und secure clothing until some
attractive young fellow comes along
and offers to take those burdensome
cures off frull shoulders. One can
hardly blame them for refusing lo re?
gard teaching ns a pleasing lifetime
profession. It Is a hard and onerous
life and now hns not even the t*r,8
pensnlliig advantage of living salar?
ies.
'A correspondent writes ko the
New York Herald a communication
in which he remarks that a good
wife Is heaven's best gift to man.
his angel nml minister of grnees in?
numerable, his gem of many vir?
tues, his casket of jewels; her voice
Is sweet music, her smiles his
?brightest day) her kiss the guardian
of his Innocence, her arms the pale
of his safety, the halm of Iii? health,
the balsam of his life: her Industry
his surest wealth,/'her economy his
safest steward, her lips his faithful
counselors, her bosom the softest
pillow of his eures, and her prayers
tho ablest . advocates of 'heaven's
blessings oil his head. Undoubtedly.
Hut even this paragon or god-like
virtues frequently Is misjudged and
unappreciated If one may judge b?'
the mighty actions of reprobate

charges nnd eounter-t'hinges made
In nearly every divorce suit.
There Is an occasional Incident In
real life which leads one to believe
that maybe Shakespeare was mis?
taken when he suggested that there
Is nothing in n uame. For instance.
"Soeorro" Is the Spanish cry for
"help, as well as lb*' name of the
New Mexico town which has been
ruined by a succession of earth?
quake shocks since July 2.
Milwaukee claims to have $353,362
people and points to her latest di?
rectory to prove It. Of course. It
would have been ns easy to claim
364.000, but there has been such a
remarkable Increase In municipal
morality that even a city of Milwau?
kee's fame hesitates to tell a He for
718 residents.
While it may be that a jail sen?
tence would be more e feet Ivo In
restraining railroad violations of the
law against rebates, even $40,00.0
fines may have a tendency to con?
vince them t'hat lawlessness is un?
profitable.
According to n fashion sharp, the
chignon Is coming back.. Without
commiting oneself to an endorse?

than In front.
WHEN MORROW WAKES THE
FLOWER8.
Alas! the time is drawing near, ^
When we shall have to part
And deep the sorrow lies hidden
Within my aching heart,
Waat matters if my soul be crushed
My spirit broken down?
What matters if mine, be, alas'
The fated thorny crown?
And tears of blood my heart shall
shed,
O'er thee, thro* lonelv hours;
But oh' 'twill all be o'er at last
When niongow wakes the flowers.

Second Jew?How would It answer!
If we should Ulli the priest ?
First Jew?That would not do. \Ve|
must Infuriate the Christians to the
point of losing their senses. Think of I
the disappointment if after killing|
him wo should not be massacred?
Third Jew?What If we should set
fire to the church?
Second Jew?Even that would not |
be certain to cause our death.
First Jew?Rut If we should throw|

Tlie extreme range of temperature In

ocean have tlvo.woll marked tempera?

cninpolar belt with n small range and
a. low temperature, a clreumtroplcal
belt with a small range and a high tem?
perature and two Intermediate areas
with large annual ranges of tempera?

vided into the superficial region, ex?

and the deep sen. The surface region,
especially near the land, has a variety
of conditions and nu abundant fauna

uniform conditions of the deep sen, al?
though animal life Is abundant. The
warm surfuee waters of the tropics
have many species, but relatively few
Individuals, while the reverse Is true
In colder regions. Dr. John Murray ac?

that hi early geological times the whole

Strangely anomalous as It may ap?
pear, the existence of active poisons'
lu the animal, vegetable aud mineral
kingdoms of nature has done more for
the development of modern civilized
man than have all the other innocuous
elemental things which aboriginal man
round to his hand. These active poi?
sons were man's firs I stimulus to l^rst
adaptation of poison to the uses of
man. The aborigine found himself at
once the hunter and the hunted of cre?
ation. Wjiether as hunter or the hunt?
ed, lie was a pygmy compared with,
many of the carnivorous beasts in his
environment, lie saw that, whereas
his own considerable physical force
und power were as nothing to some of
these creatures, the fang of the sen
pent was all compelling. Where the
poisonous serpent struck with poison?
ed fang und killed Its ijuarry. he saw
It cat without discomfort or injury.
To kill his ow n food through the venom
of the serpent must have been one of
man's first elaborated mental proc?
esses. As this aborigine applied the
venom of the serpent to bis arrow aud
Inter blended It with the poisons of the
vegetable world he may be snld to
have grown in mental stature.?Tech?
