THE WILL jJfTHE BOSS Quay's Domineering Tactic 8hown Up In True Colore. (Phlladfdphla Times.) IB all the history or Republican In Wutlons It may be doubted If a sit uation ever wai presented exactly parallel with that existing in Penn ylvanla today. It Is the most won derful exhibition of the powor of the "boss" that, even this state has seen wider the long developing system of which Senator Quay Is the consum mate exponent The people of Pennsylvania are about to elect a governor, and the Re publican party, of which Senator Quay Is the head, Is to nominate a candidate. This Is to be done, as usual, by means of the "organization," which acts under the direction of the central authority, and the machinery was early put In motion to nominate the designated candidate In due form. While this Is going on Senator Quay to persuaded that another candidate would be more agreeable to some of j his friends and he abruptly counter mands the orders. He docs not say what other candidate he prefers. He Imply directs the Republicans of tho state that they are not to elect any more delegates for Klkin, but are to elect delegates who will hold them selves subject to his further instruc tions. He will tell them for whom to vote when he Is ready. They ore by no means to exercise any choice of their own. This may not differ In result from the old plan of electing delegates In structed for local favorites, with a Tlew to the transfer of their votes at the convention, but that plan, at least, maintained the appearance of some freedom of choice. All this pretense is now cast aside. Mr. Quay's present orders are, in effect, that tho delegates to the convention shall be chosen with tho understanding that they will do whatever he shall tell them. They are not to bo Instructed for Elkin, nor for another; they are to be Instructed fbr X, an unknown quantity. By this means tho entry of nny individual candidates into the contest is to be ' prevented. There Is to be no oppor tunity for any man to make himself 3r his qualifications known. Tho choice Is to be left entirely to Quay. This demand is put forward with out disguise, Mr. Quay does not pre tend that the convention Is to choose the candidate; he merely says that he has not yet determined upon who the candidate shall be. He is exam ining tho various applicants, but will not announce his decision until the near approach of the convention, which will then officially ratify his choice. Strange as It may appear, the only earnest objection to this auto cratic assumption comes from the friends of the candidate whose whole claim is based upon the fidelity .with which he has represented Quay and his system. Elkln has been one of the chief instruments of the machine in applying discipline to insurgents, "ripping" out one man to put in an thr, and he has no logical ground on which to protest when the ripping is pplied to him. The wonderful fea nire of the situation Is that Republi cans who profess to be opposed to the machine methods acquiese in this In dolent despotism and are preparing to take their orders from Quay, as though he alone was the Republican party in Pennsylvania as apparently he is. If ever there is to be any political Independence in this community, it must be won by the absolute separa tion of all self-respecting people from this whole infamous system and the defeat of whatever candidates may represent It, whether they be person ally good or bad. Stone and Elkin be came obnoxious because they obeyed Quay's orders in contempt of public morality. Now he coolly throws them aside and demands that he be allowed to select other tools at his own con venience. And, what Is most as tounding, he Is praised and upheld in this by Republicans who have here tofore posed as reformers and now scamper to get under the Quay um brella.

Anything more inequitable and un just than our insistence that Ameri cans shall have rights of domicile in China, while we deny to the Chinese ilmllar rights in this country, it would le difficult to conceive of. Doston ilerald (led.). It Is a trifle funny that Attorney General Elkln never discovered that Quay's methods are brutal until now, .hough they have been the same from jhe beginning of his reign as party toss. For example, the ripping up of t government by the people and .hrowing out of officials elected by tho jeople for a stated term was brutal, ft Klkin concurred in it. The rail roading of franchise grab legislation hrotigh both houses within a week .ras brutal, but Elkln regarded It with fce highest favor. Truly It makes a fast difference whose ox Is gored. flarrlsburg Star (Inl).

CURREN l viiMENT Brief Discussions of Political and Other Matters of Publlo Interest. ANDREW J. PALM. Tho cltltens of Pittsburg have been gold-bricked from every point of the political compass, until the intelligent portion refuse to take stock In any more deals or promises. They have been driven to the conclusion, after a long experience, that the official pat ronage of the city has been traded back and forth with as little concern aa boys trade Jack-knives, and they will put the stamp of their disapproval on the whole business when they get another Whack at the gang that has used the city, as Ben Focht says, for the purpoBO of plunder It Is remarkable how odious the pro tective tariff is declared to be even by the most radical tariff organ when It admits the truth through carelessness or other cause. They all Join in de manding the repeal of the duty on wood pulp. Thoy strenuously insist that It Is simply a tax on intelligence, as It increases the price of the paper through which they teach their con fiding renders the benefits of a protec tive tariff. They are quite right In in sisting that the tariff Is a tax on in telligence, for It must tax to the ut most any man's Intelligence to uphold so monstrous a doctrine. The duty on wood pulp Is not a whit worse than it is on a thousand other things about which one never hears a whimper of complaint from the protective organs that are so ready to squeal when they are hit; but are indifferent to tho groans of others who are robbed sys tematically by the protective humbug. The whole protective system is a gi gantic fraud, forcing money from the many to put Into the pockets of the few. The damnable outrages perpetrated In the name of patriotism and for tho purpose of benevolent assimilation In j the Philippines are coming to light day I after day, and the record Is enough to make a man ashamed of his race The only sensible thing to do was to keep entirely away from all such Imperial istic ventures, but as that was not done the only sensible thing now is to withdraw every American soldier at once from tho islands, for we never had a shadow of right there except the title recognized by savages and bar barians, that might makes right. What! leave them to kill one another? Cer tainly, If t.hey feel like It. They would kill themselves cheaper and more hu manely than we are doing It for them. Oh! but wo want to make Christians of them. But a live heathen is better than a dead Christian, and If we are to be judged by our army a live heathen Is even better than a live Christian. Yes, but some other bad nation would go in and capture these poor people that we have been treating so kindly. It Isn't at all likely that any other na tlon would be so foolish, but If It should attempt such a thing It might learn wisdom In the fool's school of experience, just as England is taking a lesson In South Africa from the Boers and as we are doing In the Philippines. The military man whose trade Is killing, burning, wounding and plundering and the trust magnate who wants other worlds to conquer are in favor of continuing the war In the rnuippines, out an gooa people are sick and tired of the wicked folly of trying to run the whole world. Smith and Sibley. (Detroit Free Press.) The Hon. Joseph C. Sibley, of Penn sylvanla, Is a representative who serv ed two terms In congress as a Demo crat, ana then deserted his party to follow the Republican banner of Orl ental expansion. Mr. Sibley does not approve of his fellow expansionist, General Smith, and In the course of a speech delivered in the house he com pared the general to Timur, to the Tartars, to the Saracens, and to var ious other persons lacking In Inher ent refinement; and he completed his speech by expressing the hope that the uniform would be stripped from Gen eral Smith within forty-eight hours. For ourselves, we do not admire General Smith, either. Neither can we really approve of the methods resorted to by "Hell-Roaring Jake" to establish the blessings of liberty In Samar. But we have even less regard for the politi cal hypocrisy that seeks to shift all the responsibility upon the shoulders of this soldier, and we should like to see Mr. Sibley or some other congressman carry his argument against these atrocities to Its logical conclusion. As we have said before, the responsibility belongs to Washington, not to tho army. The business of the army Is to fight, and killing men Is not an espe cially refining occupation. It does not tend to develop an extreme sensitive' ness as to methods, and if It did, the soldier would soon lose his value as a fighter.

Prof. Oenrir Kortira Una Inventrd ft It mi lir FlndiT That (liven tun tancf with Accnracr, Devices which give the range of dis tant objects hove been used in the navy for years, and also with long ronfre artillery, like that employed for the defense of harbors. Apparatus for infnntry service bus now been invent ed by an English engineer, Prof. (ieorge Forbes. The instrument Is a combination of a squnre aluminum tube, six feet long. that enn be folded up for carrying. and a field or opern glass of special design. Reflecting prisms nre mount ed on the ends of the tube, and ench throws an linage of the object under scrutiny at right angles toward the middle of the tube. Here they nre re flected ngnin into the field pbiss, one into one barrel and the other into the other. In this manner n stereoscopic effect , of great value optically. Is se cured. Only the ends of the Instru ment require an unobstructed view of the cnomv. Rays of light pvoccedin from a given point In the distance, such as a sol dier's bayonet, to the ends of 1he range finder diverge slightly. The nearer tbp object to the observer the wider the angle, and vice versa. If one can measure this angle the distance is easily computed from the length of the nluminum tube, which constitutes a "base line." The prisms nre so ac curately adjusted that when the Images enter the two tubps of the field glass the angle between them is the same as out in front of the instru- INFANTRY RANGE FINDER. ment. Provision being made for its measurement in the telescopes, the calculation is easily made. In each bar rel of the field glass is stretched a ver tical wire. One is fixed and the other is movable. When the two are seen as one, and the distant object is sharply defined, one reads off an exceedingly delicate scale on the adjusting screw Prof. Forbes declares that the distance can be estimated within two percent of the truth, even at .t,000 yards. Summarizing a paper read by the in ventor before the London Society of Arts. Nature says: "The wire seems to stand out solid in space, and the slightest turn of the micrometer screw causes the wire to appear to be nearer or further than the object looked at, and when the wire appears to be at exactly the same dis tance the micrometer reading gives the distance with an accuracy far greater than that attainable by ob serving the duplication of images on the retina. "This range finder can be used in a variety of positions. The more stead ily it is held the more accurate the re sult. A standing position is the least steady. When kneeling, using only half the base, tha other half may be bent down ot right angles, and so form a leg, which serves os a rest on tne ground. The most easy position is sit ting, with the elbows resting on the knees. Another steady position is lying flat on the ground facing the ob ject. In every one of these positions yon can take advantage ot cover. Since the eyes are virtually ot the ex tremities of the base, the observer may stand, sit, kneel or lie behind a tree. bush, rock, anthill, horse, comrade or wagon, and will cot only be more nble to work without ensation of danger, but without drawing the fire of the enemy on his comrades. "Lord Kitchener having expressed a desire to see the range finder tested In the field, Prof. Forbes bos proceeded to South Africa with bis instrument. or.d a thorough examination of its ef ficiency will be made under practical condit ions."

V; - - --- - - To Evade Law- Coloring Will Bo Sold With Oleotobo Worked in by The Consumer. To evade the oleomargarine law, which goes into effect July 1, dealers are preparing to place upon the mark et a compound for the use of consum ers by which the unappetizing white substitute can be colored to resemble butter. Instead of the manufacturer color ing the oleo, the doctoring will be done by the housewife. With each purchase of uncolored butterine sold the purchaser will re ceive a capsule the size of a large rai sin. Each capsule contains a few drops of fluid which when worked into the butterine will change its color from a lard-like white to a rich yellow. Under the law, hotels and restau rants that serve butterine will not be permitted to color it. Condemned in Missouri And Confiscated in New York- Judge Clark of St.Louis has con victed and fined heavily a number of grocers for selling baking powders containing alum. The week before the Health De partment of New York seized a quan tity of stuff being sold for baking powder which they found was made from alum mixed with gTound rock, and dumped it into the river. The Health Authorities are thus taking effective means to prevent the introduction into our markets of m jurous substitutes ir. place of whole some baking powders. As alum costs only two cents a pound, there is a great temptation tor those manufacturers who make sub stitutes and imitation goods, to use it. Alum baking powders can be detect ed by the health authorities by chemi cal analysis, but the ordinary house keeper, whose assistance in protecting the health of the people is important, cannot make a chemical examination. She may easily know the , alum pow ders, however, from the fact that they are sold at from ten to twenty cents for a pound can, or that some prize like a spoon, or glass or piece of crockery, or wooden ware is given with the powder as an inducement. As the people continue to realize the. importance of this subject and consumers insist on having baking powder of established name and char acter, and as the health authorities continue their vigorous crusades, the alum danger will, it is hoped, be driven from our homes.

There is a railroad in Pennsylvanit whose equipment George Stephenson, if he were living today, would regard as only a slight improvement over ht ' original experimental outfit. The traveler who is weary of speed trials and trains run on nerve-wrecking schedules may find rest and recreation on the Lewisburg and Buffalo Valley Railroad, which owns just twenty three miles of the wierdest track that ever was laid. Seven miles an hour is the average speed when the loco 1 motive is running at top speed, and J there are so many stops for water, re I pairs and help of various descriptions ! that if one asks the conductor what time the return trip will be made he will give it up. The road' has no passenger cars, but it carries passengers. It owes itt existence to the Kulp Lumber Com pany's desip? to get to market the vast . quantities of heavy timber that clothe the mountain side included in the tract of 'and it owns. Munroe II. Kulp, who for two terms represented the XVIIth Congress District of Pennsylvania, is the principal stock holder in the company and in the road. The railroad traverses the corner of four counties, Clinton, Centre, Ly coming and Union, and its shape, in consequence, is very like that of the letter S. While at present there are only twenty three miles of track, thin number is variable, for the railroad is advanced as the heavy timber falls under the lumbermen's axes. As rule it takes a train a full fourteen hours to make the round trip from Lewisburg, on the Susquehanna River to the "camp" and retuin. When the road was built little at tention was paid So such trifles as grading and road'jeds. 1 hese were left to look after themselves. As a result the uniccustomed traveler i& apt to get seasick while bounding up and down over the billowy Lewisburj and Buffalo Valley. Three large mountains, in the heart of the Alle- ghanies, are crossed or dodged by the little road, some of the grades looking nearly perpendicular when viewed from a distance by the horror stricken passenger. It appears to his fasci nated gaze that the little engine must leap across yawning chasms over a per pendicular trestle, while the curves are so numerous and so sharp that most of the time the engine would be in full view from the windows of any car in the train, if the cars had win dows, which, as a rule, they do not. nor any sides either, for that matter. Intendmc passengers are advised to take plenty of food along, in case of a breakdown. Sometimes it happens that the con ductor desires to speak to the engi neer. In that case he waits until a propitious moment has arrived, then he drops easily to the ground and runs across a field, meeting the engine on the other side, as it finishes describ ing a curve. The engines employed upon this unique road are little pinion-geared affairs about the size of those used on the elevated roads in New York. No air brakes are used or provided for. On heavy grades a supstitute is, however, employed. It consists of two men who stand on the pilot and pour sand on the rails. It is a job not in great demand with the employ es of the road. In many cases the roadbed consists of solid stone, and the ties are blocked up with small pieces of stone. When the engine runs short ot ' water the train is stopped near a. mountain stream. pipe is let down from the engine, a small steam pump is set going, and in a few minutes the machine's thirst is slakid. The road penetrates a region that is rich with game, such as bear and deer, and there are great quantities of smaller animals and birds. The streams are full of trout, and when a train is stalled the hands put in the time fishing or capturing rattlesnakes. A station about half way to the "camp" is ealled Kulpsburg. The place is composed of one house and a barn. The house is used mostly at a stopping place lor hunters in the fall, and the meals, and good ones, are 15 cents each. The companj that owds the timber land has fur nished material for coal mines and railroad buildings in all parts of the United States. There are small saw mills along the railroad, while at Lewisburg there is a large mill that turns out the bulk of the lumber. Along the line of the road villages have been formed, and lately a daily mail service has been started. The State of Pennsylvania has recently purchased twenty-thousand acres of land about the curious road, to be a part of its forest preserve, but it will be many years before its timber be comes valuable, as there are no trees standing now except second growth. The lumber company took the rest. The seventeen-vear old locusts I are due. There is to be millions of them, there'll be much music and 1 there'll be much injury to tender 1 shrubs and trees.
