"No coimuomvealth in the Uuibn is
more indifferent to public wrongs than
the great state of Pennsylvania , " ad
mits the Lancaster Examiner ( Ind. ) .
"We have no Tarpeian rock over which
to hurl political malefactors. If we had ,
in the present state of our mental and
moral sluggishness , we would not use it.
We spend millions on public schools ,
and the outcome seems to be a citizen
ship willing to sell a city birthright for
a mess of pottage. "
The Philadelphia Press ( Rep. ) would
not be averse to the nomination by the
republicans of a southern man for vice-
president. "The South , " it says , "has
men amply able to fill this post with
credit to themselves and honor to the
nation , and the nomination of one of
them by the republican party would be
the final proof that all ill-feeling be-
tweer the sections has been obliterated ,
and that the country is one in fact as
well as in name. "
At a meeting in Philadelphia recently ,
held under the auspices of the Young
Democracy of that city , a resolution was
adopted authorizing the appointment of
a committee to reorganize the party in
the city , having as one of its results the
sending of a delegation to the state con
vention to contest the right of the
Donnelly-Ryan organization to further
represent the democrats of Philadel
phia.
"Governor Crane , of Massachusetts ,
is pressing Governor Odell , of Now
York , for gubernatorial honors , " the
Providence Journal ( Ind. ) says ; "The
former is a rich business man , not a
demagogue , and he has shamed those
Massachusetts legislators and news
papers that were ready to give up any
thing to a railroad company. His veto
of the subway bill takes rank as a public
service with Governor Odell's veto of
the New York bridge bill. Such gov
ernors honor their states and help won
derfully to dignify public office. "
"The lesson of a state treasury robbed
of its last dollar to pay the price of po
litical and legislative perfidy is one that
should not be lost upon the people of
Philadelphia , " moralizes the Record
( Ind. Dem. ) of that city. "They can
secure legislative consideration for
schools , river channel , and other
projects of public utility whenever they
will assert their sovereignty and substi
tute for their present venal and shame
less delegation in the state legislature ,
one the members of which they would
be willing to employ in private positions
of trust and responsibility. ' '
"Why need Alabama , having a ma
jority of whites , join states that have
majorities of blacks ? " asks the Birm-

the constitutional convention. "There
are fifty-three white counties in this
state , and only thirteen black counties.
None of them need more than a poll-
tax provision and a bang-up good pri
mary-election law. Unwarranted fears
should not bo used in asking for more ,
because more would invite trouble , po
litical agitation , and loss of representa
tion. "
"The question now in the republican
party is not between protection and free
trade , but whether or not the time has
come so to modify some of the duties as
to apply better to the changed condi -
tions , " argues the Indianapolis Journal
( Rep. ) "That question is always open
to discussion , and those publications in
the East trade rather than republican
papers which affirm that those are not
republicans who discuss the propriety of
modification of duties are out of har
mony with the men who speak for the
republican party. "
"Chief Justice Marshall died some

opinion of Justice Brown , backed by the
votes of Justices Gray , Shiras , White ,
and McKeuna , is the law of the land to
day , though it tears the constitutional
limitations into shreds , and , as Justice
Harlaii says , launches us on 'an em of
legislative absolutism. ' "
