GRAY MEEK.
Ink SH:
BY P.
—I'd like to live in north Gregg,
Where Republicans are so few,
"That there ain’t enough to make a pair,
Or count up by “me and you.”
It must be a salubrious clime,
That makes Democrats of ail,
Who live in that Jacksonian place,
And vote as they did this fall.
—1It’s over now. Forget it.
—General ISADOR RAYNER talked to
them with tears in his eyes and frogs in his
throat about SCHLEY on Wednesday.
—Me and Taisy and Tash and ED. Me-
KINLEY will have to put those pictures of
GARDNER'S house away in a red plush
album now.
—When PENNSYLVANIA can swallow a
man like PorTerR for a Supreme court
judge it ought to be able to down LOVE on
the Superior court, without jelly.
—The people of Centre county know a
good official when they have one and be-
eause they do and desire to have that kind
is the reason for Mr. GARDNER'S substan-
tial and creditable majority.
—Judge Love's work didn’t amount to
much’in the county, but that will not pre-
vent him setting up his claim as a repre-
sentative of the machine for Judge MITCH-
ELL'S place on the Superior court bench as
soon as that gentleman resigus.
—While fusion did not win in Pennsyl-
vania the splendid showing made by the
alliance against corruption is sufficiently
encouraging. to make a more hopeful out-
look for next year, when more efficient or-
ganization will be possible.
— “The official organ of the Republican
party of Centre county’’ might well have
displayed a little of its officiousness by
holding State College borough, at least, in
line for the QUAY ticket. There was evi-
dently something wrong up there. JOHN-
NY PAN couldn’t have bad the place oleod
enough. $Y
—It is not to the Democrats that our
sympathy should go out at this time. They
are used to a licking and don’t mind ‘it
much.
away from their own party and are not
used to being the under dogs in a political
fight who may need consolation. ‘They
have our deepest sympathy and most pro-
found respect.
—L1 HUNG CHANG, the illustrious Chi:
nese statesman, is dead. - He was a crafty
man and had to be watched sharply by his
own government, as well as by all the oth-
er powers of the earth, but he was so far
above all others of the celestial empire in
affairs of state that his lose at this critical
juncture in the history of that government
is an extraordinarily serious one.
—The defeat of Judge BARKER in Cambria
county is likely to result in a contest of the
vote by which Francis J. O°'CONNOR, a
Democrat, succeeds him on the bench. The
latter’s majority is only fifty one votes and
it is reasonably certain that the defeated
BARKER will leave no stone unturned to
get himself seated for another term of ten
years.
—Judge MITCHELL, of Lycoming coun-
ty, one of Governor STONE'S appointees,
has heen defeated by a decisive majority
and no man ever got a more deserved re-
buke. He opened his campaign .by an at-
tempt to inject partisanship into the judic-
ial contest, his every utterance proclaim-
ing him a political judge.
—The contrast between Philadelphia and
New York just now is very marked. The
former, a Democratic city, has overthrown
party rule in the effort to bring about need-
ed reforms. The latter, an equally strong
Republican city, continues to endorse the
most corrupt, thieving and degenerate ad-
ministration of municipal government the
world has cognizance of.
¢ “~The Republican this week gives Mr. 'W.
E. GRAY just an intimation of what he may
expect if he ever tries to run for judge of
this county. It says that even if Judge
Love is appointed to the Superior court
bench and WILL GRAY given his place in
the Centre county court the latter won’
have a ghost of ashow for nomination. = Of
course he hasn’t tried yet, but this note of
the Republican sounds very much as if
DANIEL has a Jittle geribbling on the wall
that WILLIE might as’ well read at once.
'—The result in New York city is noth-
ing more than might have been expected
from the actions of RICHARD CROKER, the
cheiftan of Tammany. “New York is too
much of an American city to tolerate a po-
litical leader who openly makes his home
in Eugland and returns only at such times
as may please him to dictate party plans.
Tammany will be the better for this defeat,
for that organization will certainly come
into power again in two years. It has been
repeatedly demonstrated that the Tam-
many government of New York is better
than any other that city can get, in fach it
is acknowledged to be better than that of
any other large city in the world. "
—According to a story hat is going the
rounds now: Justice MITCHELL is to resign
from the Superior court bench on account
of his health and Judge LovE is to he ap-
pointed as his successor, then W. E. GRAY
is to take LOVE'S ‘place as ‘Judge of - the
Centre county courts. Won’t that be nice.
Until next fall at least, when they will have
to be elected or go way back and sit down.
LOVE'S chances at an election in the State
would be better that GRAY'S would be in
Centre county, for we fear that WILLIE
has been at the business of ‘‘carrying two
waters on one shoulder’’ so long that he
wouldn't come near getting the Republi-
can nomination in Centre county.

Mr. Carnegie’s Views.
Mr. ANDREW CARNEGIE reached New
York on Saturday on his annnal visit to
the country in which he amassed his wealth
and to the shores of which he always turns
his face about election time. He was in an
amiable humor when he ‘landed according
to one of the newspaper fellows who went
down to quarantine to welcome him.
‘‘Well, boys,” he said to them, *‘here you
are again, looking as well and as handsome
as ever. Any of you want a library 2! be
continued and the historian of the ocecasicn
assures us, ‘‘the sally provoked general
and hearty laughter.” It wasn’t what you
would call a sublime bit of humor, but
when the king cracks a joke, however de-
ficient it may be, the subject laughs and
CARNEGIE has the wealth of a dozen
kings. f
But some of the things Mr. CARNEGIE
said don’t appear to be funny to the tariff
mongers of the country. On the contrary
they will look very serious when his opin-
ions on the question of reciprocity are gen-
erally distributed throughout the length
and breadth of the land and absorbed.
Reciprocity is a humbug, he declared m
his blunt Scotch way and nobody but fools
talk seriously about it he added substanti-
ally. What this country needs to expand
her commerce and keep her industrial life
active, the baron continued, ‘‘isa reduction
of the tariff schedules, to such an extent as
will encourage the exchange of commodi-
ties between this country and Great Brit-
ain.’’ There is nothing humorous in that,
but it is as true as gospel.
Mr. CARNEGIE is out of the steel busi-
ness now and has no connection with the
manufacture of that highly protected com-
modity, except asia bonded creditor of the
great trust. But be knows all about the
business and understands “that with the
splendid machinéry protected ‘by patents
and the intelligence and skill of the Amer-
ican mechanics, he can make steel vastly
cheaper than any other competitor in any
other country ia the world and that the
only thing a tariff tax does for the Amer-
ican manufacturer of steel now is that it
enables him to charge home consumers
a matter of ten dollars a ton, or there-
abouts, more than he asks the European
maker of tools and similar products to pay.
This gives the European an advantage in
the market, but the trust’ maguate doesn’t
mind that so long as things go his way.
Still the country ought to thank Mr.
CARNEGIE for telling the trath. The Chief
Magistrate doesn’tpay as much deference
to wealth as his predecessor did, and Mr.
CARNEGIE'S opinions may not prove as po-
tential in the future as they have been in
the past. But when a man’ worth half a
billion speaks most people listen and may-
be Mr. CARNEGIE'S ideas on the reciprocity
nonsense « will set people to thinking,
Anyway we shall hope for the best.

Ripping 'in' Pittsburg.
The information comes: from Pittsburg
that within ‘two weeks after ‘the election
there is to be another “ripping” up in
Pittsburg. Recorder BROWN is tobe dis-
missed from office under an. agreement be-
tween Governor-STONE and Senator FLINN
and one of the Senator’s adherents put in
his place. The new officials recently ap-
pointed by BrowN will be “‘railroaded”’
ont of office and the old gang restored.
FLINN will become the official contractor
of ‘the city again, and the saturnalia of cor-
raption will be resumed at the old stand.
It is an interesting program and: the
public will await developments with more
or less impatience.
A few days ago, before Recorder BROWN
had been informed of the new plans of the
machine, he declared that he recognized no
responsibility to the council or people of
Pittsburg. There had been talk of coun-
cilmanic action in resentment of some of
the Recorder’s rather high handed opera-
tions and the Recorder laughed at the
threat. ‘‘I am responsible to nobody bat
the Governor,’’ he said, in a jocular tone
of voice, and his friends agreed with him.
It may be added that the Governor is like-

has been doing that were not on the pro-

It is a trifle bard on the people. that
these trading politicians make sport of the
patronage of a big city and play shuttle-

rights of the citizens. But they do, never-

is responsible to nobody but QuAY and
Recorder BROWN is reaponsible to nobody
but the Governor. So it goes that the
people are robbed mercilessly and that
these trading politicians may ‘have their

Morse's Aspirations.
2 NEW YORK, November 5.—As soon as it
became known that Tammany Hall had
been defeated in the city and the county,
the members of the general committee of
the organization began to talk about. its
future. It is the general belief that Rich-
ard Croker will go back to England soon
and that he will never again be a power in
the councils of the organization. In his
long absences from this country Croker’s
power has been taken from him to an ex-
tent that is not realized by those who have
not followed all the moves that have been:
made on the political checkerboard during
the last year.
To-day the real power in the Tammany
organization is the Sullivan-Farrell-Dev-
| ery combine, This portion of the organiza-
tion was able to prevent the nomination of
John Whalen, a warm personal friend of
Lr. Croker, for the Supreme court, and the
county ticket was dictated by it from top
to bottom. The general committee of 1902
was elected at the September primaries,
and the men who controlled it then will
control it when it meets for organization on
December 27th, unless the committeemen
show an unexpected independence. |
There is no chance for any other faction

- Tt is said to-day that the real power in
the Tammany Hall councils from this time
on would be Charles W. 'Morsé, the ice
man, and his friends, among whom are
such men as John F. Carrol, Mayor Van-
Wyck and the others who train with them.
Mr. Morse is classed as a Republican, but
he has a great influence with the members
of Tammany Hall's ruling clique.
CROKER IS BLAMED.
The members of the organization lay
their defeat to the doors of Mr. Croker’s
English home. They also say that he bas
allowed himself to be guided by the most
selfish. and illiberal influences and men
about him. Hundreds of Tammany men
scratched the ticket, and many of them
voted for Low because of their resentment
of the fact that Croker lives in ‘England.
The Tammany men are very bitter against
Mr. Croker and his friends, or rather
against those new friends of the chief who
have appeared in the foreground since the
victory of 1897.
To-night i in their bitterness, the Tam-
many men said that at the meeting of the
general committee to organize they would
not reinstate Mr. Croker in the chairman-
ship of the finance committee, and that
they would punish kim for the defeat by
depriving him of the power that he bas had
in. the organization. Mr. Croker has said
that he would never abandon the post of
the leader of the party and these men in-
tend to kick him out and humiliate him
unless they change their minds before the
meeting of the committee.

to accomplish anything of importance in
their own city are finding great consola-

in them to show some regret for their own

those, however, who never ‘appreciate Low
