From Heibert Welsh's City and State. The Hastings-Quay contest has done moie to debauch the politics of the state than any campaign in its history. It is estimated that no less than a million dollars was spent in the primary elections and in the' corrup tion of delegates. Both sides were well supplied with money, and it was expended liberally wherever it was thought its use would accomplish results. Quay played the poor dodge, and his adherents were given the cue to spread the tale that the innocent and traduced leader was without funds, and that his entire private fortune would be swept away in the effort to stem the tide of opposition that had set in against him. Poor Quay I One of the stories since the conven tion is that, as soon as the fight was declared on, a prominent Western Pennsylvania steel company contribut ed a check of $25,000 as a nucleus for the campaign fund which the manufacturers of the state rolled up for the man from Beaver. Of course, on the other side the cash was also plentiful. There was never any lack of it. It is said that one side spent $15,000 in Montgomery county, and the other side halt as much j that in another county, toward the close of the contest, the snug sum of $25,000 was offered for the delegates; that $3,000 was tendered for the vote of another county, and that similar sums were offered for the delegates of many counties in the state. It will take years, and the active participation of the people at the primary elections to purify the polls of the debauchery of " -uiaigu jusi ciosea.

Is there anybody foolish enough to believe that these seven millions of voters, having elected a Democratic presi dent, (ofthwith scared themselves half tOrffcath. drove themselves intn a t-msi. ness panic and committed commercial hari-kari ? Is there anybody so want ing in mental power as to believe that seven millions of Americans after DUttins the Democratic nartv in nnu-xr stampeded themselves like a herd of Texas steers and trampled each other under foot? What was this tariff revision the fear of which it is said created the panic ? Was it not just what had been labored and voted for ? The depression noted after the elec tion of 1S02 beean before that, m-hi-n the treasury was forced to buy tons of silver and pay for it with gold ; when tne KepuDiican administration need lessly expended moneys in the pur chase of bonds not yet matured, pay ing high premiums for them, in order to make a debt" reduction record ; when Secretary Foster, knowing the treasury was empty, made a surplus on paper by transferring to the ac count of available assets Fums of money otherwise disposed of ; when treasury payments were postponed from time to time instead of made promptly as theretofore; and when the secretary was known to have been preparing an issue of bonds to meet the treasury deficiency. These things beca me known and had immediate effect. In addition to thtse the labor history of several vears nrior tn i8n was a chronicle of strike after strike and wage reduction after reduction, culminating in the bloody battle at Homestead, where under the Mc- Kinley law wages were reduced that have been voluntarily increasprt nnrler the Wilson law. But worse than all this tV. despicable work of Republican news papers, which immediately after the presidential election hPPfln a cam paign of mendacity unparalleled in the uisiory 01 any country, it was done with the deliberate and font intention of making the Democratic party suffer 11 necessary ana as it transpired in evitably throueh the ai?onv of th whole country.

The deliberate intention v tn foster the panic which began with the mismanagement of the Republican ad ministration, and it was successful. Without the aid of the Republican press the depression would not have been so loner or deen. RenuMiran in. fluence for disaster began to disappear wnen Dusiness men who plucked up courace to venture into affair ncrain found a ready return for their invest ments, and in a few months the cam paign of depression was ended anH the panic is now only a nightmare that has been shaken off. And having shaken it off all citizens remember that it seized them under the McKin ley law and that they were relieved under the Wilson hw.J'atriot. Malilon P. Hutchinson Dead. A Long Illness Ends the Life of the Catawitsa Railroad s President, Mahlon P. Hutchinson well lr nnurn as president of the Catawiss.i R ailroarl died early Monday morning at the Jiotei iraymoie, Atlantic City, after an illness, more or less severe, of two years. His body was taken to his late home, in Philadelphia. Mr. Hutchinson, whose office was at 426 Walnut steet, has been associ ated with the Catawissa Road almost from the date of its organization. Recently he made a strong efforr in the courts to compel the Philadelphia ana Aeaaing Koad, lessee of the Cata wissa Road, to pay a larger dividend than the minimum rate stated in the lease in order that the common stock holders could get some return on their stock. The minimum rate covered the two preferred stocks only. The case was defeated in the court on the ruling that the Reading Company paid all the rental the company was entitled to. Some years ago the name of Frank Beamish of Scranton was known to every politician in the State. He wielded great influence in this con gressional district when poitions of Scranton were in it. Death closed his career last Friday, after a long illness. Mr. Iseliu Declines. Will Not Aerept the Pr.-. fell Offer lo Race with Vilkyrlo. A. J. Drexel, ..f l'hihdelphn, re ccived a letter frr.;n C.

" Uncle Dick " Oglesby, says the Chicago Times - Herald, always prided himself on his success in cam paigning when called upon to reach a man s vote through his family pride. On one of his tours he passed through a country town in Illinois, when he came suddenly upon a charming group a comely woman with a bevy of little ones about her in a garden with a high picket fence in front of it. He stopped short, then advanced and leaned over the front gate. " Madam," said he, 111 his most in gratiating way, "may I kiss these beautiful children ? ' " Certainly, sir," the lady answered, demurely; "there is no possible ob jection." "They are lovely darlings," said Uncle Dick, after he had finished the eleventh. " I have seldom seen more beautiful babies. Are they all yours, marm ? " The lady blushed deeply. "Of course they arc the sweet little treasures. From whom else, marm, could they have inherited these limpid eyes, these rosy cheeks, these profuse curls, these comely figures and these musical voices? ' The lady continued blushing. " By the way, marm," said Uncle Dick, " may I bother you to tell your estimable husband that Richard J. Oglesby, Republican candidate for Governor, called upon him this even ing?" "Alas, sir, quoth the lady, " I have no husband." "But these children, madam you surely are not a widow ? " "I fear you were mistaken, sir. when you first came up. These are not my children.

So much has been said recently about the Oliarterlv statement nf the County Treasurer, that the publica- uon 01 me Act 01 Assembly on that subject will throw light upon the ques tion. The Act of 15 April, 1834, Sec. 37, reads as follows : "It shall be the duty of every county treasurer to receive all moneys due or accruing to the countv. and to n.iv the same on warrants drawn bv the commissioners. He shall keep a just and true account of all moneys re ceived and disbursed, which account shall be at all times open to the inspec tion of tbe commissioners and each of them : he shall, once in three months, and oftener if required, fur nish the commissioners with a state ment of all moneys received and dis bursed since the date of his last state, ment, exhibiting the balance remain ing in his hands together with the names of the collectors in whose hands any arrearages of taxes mav remain, with the amount thereof : and he shall, once in each year, state his accounts, and produce his vouchers, which, after examination by the commissioners, shall be by them laid before the county auditors for settlement according to law." From this it will be seen that the Treasurer's accounts shall be at all times open to the inspection of the Commissioners, and each of them. The law does not rennire him tn rr mit the public to handle his account dooks. lie is under heavy bonds.and if everybody had the right to handle his books,an evil minded person miht make trouble bv a chance of ficrm-en No business man would do business that way, and the law is right in not compelling the county to do it in that way. The Treasurer shall, once in three months, or oftener, if required, fur nish the Commissioners with a state ment of money received and paid out, &c. In this the law has been strictly complied with, but it will be noticed that this account is only for the infor mation of the Commissioners, that they may know the condition of the finances. It is not for publication, though the Commissioners say they have no objection to showing these statements to any one who wants in formation for legitimate purposes. The law requires the Treasurer and Commissioners, once a year, to pro duce their accounts before the Audi torg (or examination. This they do. If the Auditors find anything wrong, they will say so, and if the Auditors make mistakes the law affords ample remedy by appeal.

You answer that you don't Ve K.. Tr.u- .. v, iu jwu uu. 11 utc sys tem was not encouraged by the mer chants it would not be in existence to day. Did you ever stop to think that the mercantile community of the country are the only body of men who tolerate the credit system ? Let's see you buy postage stamps, postal notes, money orders, etc., on credit ; try it, and see what you'll be told. Go to the theatre and you pay money. Ex press companies demand cash, and railroad tickets are cash on delivery to the purchaser. Why should not the merchant demand and receive cash ? Simply because he encourages the credit system. It may be an im possibility to completely eradicate the system, but strict limitations on credit is a step in the right road, and the evolution will be practically a cash basis system of doing business.
