It I --pecially desired that every commit teeman be present, a bnalneaa of Importance will be brought tetore the meeting-. P. CONNELLY, Chairman. Johnstown. Jn!y 9, 1895. The bill fixing the compensation of witnesses in civil and criminal cases be fore Aldermen aud Justices of the Peace which passed the Legislature near the close of the session, was signed by Governor Pattison last week. It fixes the rate at ffty cents a day and three ceuts mileage. Speaking of the rumor that the Pres ident in a few davs would appoint Chas, K. Buckaiew to be Naval Officer at Philadelphia, the Record, of that city, says : "The silly people who batble the name of Charles R. Buckaiew in connec tion with the worthless sinecure of Na val Officer of Philadelphia evidently taye not the privilege of knowing the man." It will be 9een from the call of the Chairman of the Democratic Committee which Js published elsewhere, that the members of the Commictee are re quested to meet at Armorv hall, in this place, on Monday next. There should be a full attendance as the committee will then fix upon the time for holding the Demorratc primary elections. It is paid the State Convention will be called to tne t on Wednesday, the 2Gth of Aug ust, but no oflicicial rotice of the fact has yet been published. The Philadelphia Progress edited by a son of the late John "W. Forney, tells "Republican officeholders what they oucjht to do, and on their failure to heed the admonition suggests th proper remedy to Mr. Cleveland, as follows : "That the members of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet should wish that the officials directly nnder them and with whom they come into daily business associa tion should be tn political accord with themselves is natural and right. These gentlemen, appointed by Republican Administrations, should resign, and if they will not the Democratic Adminis tration should find a way to bounce them. Turn the hypocrites out, Mr. Cleveland." Tun bill fixing the salary of the mem "hern of the Legish -ire at f 1,.V)0 for the regular session without regard to its length, arid f.NMj for a special session, and also fixing the compensation of the employes of the two houses, pasbed the Legislature at the heels of the session and has since been signed by the Gover nor. The final passage of the bill cov ers a multitude of sins of commission as well ns omission of a body that spent five monthi with so little credit to itself or Ijencflt to the people. In approving the bill the Governor says : "I desire to say. that, as to a number of tie employes of the Legislature, I reaard th- eiimjensatlon fixed as extravaeant. The Knerl measure, however, in fixing a df finite salary ft.r the members of the Gen eral Assembly, commends Itself to my ap proval so strongly that I have concluded to affix my signature to the bill, and content tmself with this protest aeainst the fics sivi salaries eiven to some of the subordi nates, trusting that subsequent legislation may correct the extravagance. " No m an in this State has a right to be better pleased with Quay's nomina tion than his confidential friend and man of all work, the notorious John C. Delaney. To use a common expression Quay and Delaney have always been "as thick as thieves," and Delaney never DPsua'eu to penorni any uirty wornau- ' ring a campaign that either Quay or his counterpart, Thomas V. Cooper, blocked out for him. It was this political scav enger, Delaney, who went into the an thracite coal region during the cam- paign of 1878 when Andrew II. Dill was the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor against Hoyt, and circulated among the Irish coal miners the lying charge that Dill had been a Know Noth ing when he was a young man attend ing school at Frederick, Maryland. During that campaign Quay was chair man of the Hoyt state Committee. In 1S82 when Pattison ran for Governor and wh-n Cooper was chaiiman of the Republican State Committee, this same Delar.ey traveled far and wide over the State retailing in quarters where he supposed it would do the most good, the trumped up "O"' and "Mc"' speech of Pattison alleged to have been deliver ed in Philadelphia when he was nomina ted for Controller. If Quay is elected John ('. Delaney ought to be made Cash ier of the State Treasury. A. Wilson Norris, who was recent ly "suspended" by Mr. Cleveland as Pension agent at Philadelphia, entered the late Republican State Convention as a substitute for the purpose of plac ing in nomination his fr:eud Mr. Quay. Norris served a brief penod in the State Senate some years ago and left that body without add'ng any to his reputation. but whatever else he is, he is not an in- rnte. When Norris wanted the Pen- ! Inn office under Arthur it was necessa- i ry to remove the Republican incumbent of U place and a fierce warfare was wc?'1 tv-iitist Xorris' appoiutment. l :ay went to Washington to press his pp!icntion. lie was iu dead earnest about the matter, and never ceased his efTirta until Norris was appointed. This is the teason why Norris went in to the Convention to make a speech in favor of iliy and he deserves credit! for his devotion to the man who was hii I friend when he needed one. Norris is j a spread eagle orator a regular Elijah 1 I' cram and he smeared Quay all over with tiie most fulsome and and extrav- j a int praise. IlesjHike of Quay as a sol- i d er and of his lOiig and efficient nervi- ! cet to his party, but he never once re- ' ferrt-d to him as "a bi iiliant statesman." ' Into such deep and muddy water Norris did not dare to plunge as our more ven- , tuirne tovt Lsuj.iii, Thomas Davis,; Ji l i:i his wonderful resolution submit ted to tlie rtcent Rt-puMicau County , Coij veiitioE. The late Republican Legislature pas sed 323 bills and 36 joint resolutions. Of these about 250 were passed during the last ten days of the session, and a little more than one hundred up to that time. During the session the Governor vetoed seventeen bills, three of which were subsequently passed over his head by the necessary two-thirds vote. Of the two hundred and fifty bills left on his table when the Legislature adjourn ed the Governor has vetoed eighty-seven, and in addition to this pait? of four ap propriation bills were disapproved. This makes an aggregate of one hundred and eight bills yetoed of the three hundred and twenty-five passed, about one-third of the number. The work of no previ ous Legislature in this State was ever so thoroughly slaughtered by a Gover nor, not recklessly and without adequate cause, but for sound and convincing reasons the force of which the Legisla ture, if it was in session, would be com pelled to admit. A majority of the bills vetoed, as the Governor conclusive ly shows, were plainly in violation of the Constitution. The people of the State owe a debt of gratitude to Gov. Pattison for the vast amount of care and labor bestowed on the mass of bills left in his bands when the Legislature adjourned, and for saving them from the evils of a frightful assortment of stupid and vicious legislation. The wild hunt ifter office so charac teristic of both political parties iu this country, was thoroughly illustrated last week by a statement made by Ex-Mayor Daniel M. Fox, who was recently ap pointed Superintendent of the Mint at Philadelphia. In speaking of the appli cations for positions under him he said there were already 4,000 petition? in his hands, although there are only 300 per son? employed in the Mint. He also said that in one day he received 700 let ters asking him for positions and on the next day 150 more. Most of the work required to be done iu 'he Mint, as ev ery intelligent man knows, is of a pecu liar character for which very few per sons are competent, and it is safe to say that mor9 than three-fourths of the four thousand applicants for situations under Mr. Fox are totally incompetent. How wonderfully strong ts the desire of certain people for office, arid in nine ca ses out of ten for an office which they know, or ought to know, they are not fitted to fill. The pursuit of official po sitions under the General Government has wrought the ruin of more men in this country than any other known cause, and how few there are who have suc ceeded in accomplishing their purpose who would not be infinitely better off in every way had they failed in their efforts. The Republican State Convention i which met at Harrisburg on last Wed- nesday week, didn't waste any time over j the nomination of M. S. Quay, the j Beaver county boss, for State Treasu i rer, but put him through on the first j ballot by an overwhelming majority, i the vote standing : Quay, ; Long- necker, 27 J ; McDevitt, 15 ; Greena- waii, t ; wiKton, o. ijuay s nomina tion is a matter of no surprise to anyone who paid attention to the election of delegates to the convention by the dif ferent counties after he announced him self a candidate. When Robert W. Mickey, the most daring and accom plished boss that the Republican party in this State ever had, died no man was so competent to take his place as Quay. He has done some things, however, of which Mackey would have been ashamed because be at least had som8 convic tions of conscience, whereas we have sever heard Quay accused of being troubled with any little infirmity of that kind. He has been closely identi fied with several corrupt legislative schemes at Harrisburg during the last I jen years, and notoriously so with the Philadelphia Recordership bill and the Pittsburg riot damage bill. For the part Bill Kemble played in attempting to bribe certain members of the House to vote for the latter measure he was indicted and convicted, and was releas- ed by the Pardon Board, Quay himself voting for the pardon. In view of his public career his uominatioo for State Treasurer is the boldest act that was ever deliberately performed by a conven tion of either political party in this State, and if it is endorsed by the people Quay and his friends can exclaim : "Af ter us, the deluge." Tiieodre H. Wioton, of Altoona, of whose nomination for State Treasu rer the Tribune, of that city was the special and untiring advocate, didn't prove to lie much of a stumbling block to Matthew S. Quay's triumphant march, in as much as he received only five votes, two from Blair, two fiom Huntingdon, and one from what in times long since passed was known among Democratic politicians as the "State of Venango." We do not, bow- I ever, regard this beggatly showing on j the part of Wiirton as any reflection I either on that gentleman himself or up- on his ardent and hopeful friend, the editor of the Tribune. "Man never is, I but always to be blest," said a great English poet, and it was as true in his ! day as it is now. This wasn't Wilton's year, but all things considered he came out of lfie fiht with more credit than his neighbor. Senator Longnecker, of Bedford, who was boomed by the Tbila- delphia Press and other leading Repub- Mean organs as well as by several itiflu- ential State Senators of the so called ; independent 1 pe. And yet he received j only 27J votes. Even that mighty bo38, j Christopher L. Magee, who held the i Republican members of the last Legis- lature in the hollow of his hand, was ! only able to procure for McDevitt, his political ward, fifteen votes, after a : thorough canvass of the State. Takn it ) all in all, therefore, the Tribune has no ' reason to be discouraged at Wigton's . defeat or to be ashamed of its candi- ! date, who is conceded to be competent ' to fill the place. From the very incep- ; tlon of Wigton'" boom by the Tribune, i our great surprise has been that Its edi tor, who p tssesses an accurate knowl edge of Republican politics in this State, could have been deluded even for one Lalf-minute into the belief that some thing might unexpectedly happen that would defeat Quay's noajioatio&. , ; J A BIT OF HISTORY. COL. quay's connection with ins PHILADELPHIA RECORDER'S BILL. Seven years ago the people of this city were agitated over an attempt, which proved to be successful, to saddle upon them the expense of bolstering up one of the most infamous political jobs that had ever been paracticad upon them. The Recorder's bill for such was the job we refer to was from beginning to end one of the most odious of political scandals. The office was created with out any reference whatever to the public wants or wishes. There was no neces sity for it. There was no demand for it. To the contrary, the sentiment of the overwhelming majoritv of the peo ple was expressed against it in the most emphatic fashion through the press and ou the stump. It was only through the pliancy of the rooster delegation which then represented Philade'pbia at liar risburg that the bill was finally enacted into a law. Never was a measure pas sed through the Legislature which exci ted more indignation among our own people. They saw that its ouly purpose was to oppress and pillage them for the benefit of a powerful boss politician and his dependents, and they never rested in their disgrace and shame at being subject to the Recorder's law until the reform revolution came and swept it away as one of the most odious relics of the era of bossism. Who was the powerful politician for whose benefit this law was created ? lie was then a stranger in Philadelphia. He had not even acquired a residence in the city on which be was to fatten and prosper. He was known to the peo ple of Philadelphia only as one of the most unscrupulous servitors of the House of Cameron and as the virtual master and dictator of the Hartranft Administration. By coercion and ca jolery he had caused the Governor to sign a bill which nineteen twentieths of the people of Philadelphia had bitterly protested against, and which was to make the shopkeepers and half the oth er taxpayers of the city subsidiary to the private emolument of himself and his personal followers. This man to day is the Republican candidate for the respon sible office of State Treasurer of Feuti sylvania. In all the schemes, Intrigues and bar gains which distinguished this infa mous performance. Col. Quay was the central figure His greed, his daring, j his unscrupulousness were conspicuous in the entire transaction. There was not a redeeming feature in the part that he played, as there was not a redeeming feature in th law itself. He was at once the promoter of the job and its beneficiary. He originated it, and he put it into execution. It was, indeed, the crowning usurpation of that period of legislative corruption at Ilarrisbuig. There was only one act that approached iri disregard Of public opinion the. par don of William H. Kemble, and in that act Col. Quay was again the one prime, essential factor. We cannot believe that the people of Piladelphia have yet forgotten the Re corder's bill. Nor has there ever been anything that could lead them toexcuse the man who fastened upon them this measure of oppression. Do they wish now to have the same profligate system of which it was tne outcome restored in full growth to the management of the funds of the Commonwealth V Do they wish to reward the man who treat ed them and their cfpinions with con tempt aud indifference and then came among them to enjoy a sinecure support ed by odious taxes wrung from their pockets V There will be a good many citizens here with long memories who will hesitate to make a State Treasurer in 1885 of the Recorder of 1875 and those who who have short memories will will yet learn a good deal more of that and kindred transactions than we have given them to-dav in the way of a gen tle reminder. Philad'a liecorcl. Washington, July 3. The antici I pated resignation of Malcolm Ilav from ! the position of First Assistant Postmas- j ter came to day. He will be succeeded by hx-Congressmair A. E. Stevenson, of Illinois. As sta'ed last night, Mr. Hay's continued and recently increased bad health compelled him to give up the office. Th ii he would be compelled to do so very soon was evident to every body who had business with him here. Most any other man would have suc cumbed long ago. The worry of the office is quite enough for a man in sound physical heal'h. During his incumben cy he seemed to get through with a vast amount of work, despite his apparent helplessness, but being couvinced from the heavy drain on his btrength that it was impossible to carry on the business as it should be carried on, he informed the President last Saturday that he would have to give up. This, of coarse, was informally done. The President sent for the Postmas ter General and asked him to indicate whom he would wish to succeed Mr. Hay, and Mr. Vilas at once named Mr. I Stevenson. Mr. Mutchler. ex-Congress man from Pennsylvania, had been pre viously strongly urged. The Postmas ter General said to-day that Mutchler wou'd have probably succeeded Hay but for the appointment of Ex Con gressman Jenks, of the same State, two days ago. Mr. Stevenson was immedi ately telegraphed, and arrived here yes terday from his home, in Bloomington, Illinois. He was backed by the Illinois i delegation solidly for the same place be , fore Hay, ard it reverted to him now I without further indorsement. He is a fine looking man physically, with close i cut white hair and white mustache and i otherwise smooth face ; is a pleasant, ; rapid talker and business-like in man i ner. It is the intention of Mr. Hay to j leave in a few days for Colorado or Wy oming. Mr. Hav refused to receive I any compensation for the time he was I absent m Florid;, and turned over the I voucher for that time to the Treasury uepartment. vision of Lieutenant General Sheridan and he has accordingly directed the chief officer of the army to. proceed at t once to the locality where the difficulty is apprehended, to advise with and di rect those in command in the disturbed districts.

It is idle to expect god conduct on the part of a savaee people when there is cause to believe that they have beeu subjected lo injury and injusiiee. It would be too much to expect of a civil ized race similarly treated. Just and fair treatment may be found to be the true solution of the Indian difficulties which have been so expensive to the Government atid so destructive of life and property to the frontier settlers. Such a course adopted towards them, with firmness in giving them tc under stand that while they shall be protected intheirriulits.it is the determiiiMt on i of the Government to enforce peacful ; conduct on their part, it is believed will put an end to the disturbances with j which the frontier settlements re p ; radically lHict.ed.

" In the Internal Revenue Bireau, for instance, be has reduced the force In three months so as to save the Govern ment abont half a million in salaries hitherto paid to unnecessary officehold ers. Further retrenchment, it, is be lieved will result in an annual saving of a million dollars in this overerown and extravagant branch of the public ser vice, without in the least degree inter fering with the legitimate business of the bureau. Nothing like it has been seen in Wash ington for vears. It is real reform the sort of reform that the people call for. The same thing is true in the other divisions of the department. Secretary Manning is reducing the tax paid indi rectly by every citizen of the United States for the suDDort of the Govern ment, lie is applying business princi- pies to the management; oi xicaau ry. He is sending the tax eaters away to earn their own living. This involves the dismissal of hun dreds of Republican officeholders, to whom, perhaps, according to the theo ries of the self-styled resormers of the civil service, there ought to be assured a life tenure, with funeral expenses paid afterward by the Government. Mr. Manning finds them alive and superflu ous, and out they go. Therein is the difference between genuine reform and humbug. X. Y. Sun. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that the Southern States contributed 338,327 men in defense of the Union in the late war, six of them in which sla very existed furnishing 315,282 of that number. What mig-ht have been the result if those soldiers had been with drawn from the Union service at one of the several critical times of that trying period ? They were chiefly Democrat ic in their political sympathies, as was illustrated in the fact that Lincoln on ly received 26,430 votes in the whole South. The New York Evening Post states a frozen historical truth when it says : "Delaware gave Lincoln less than one quarter of her votes, and Ver mont more than three-quarters, yet Ver mont sent only 58 percent, of her avail able men into the Union army, and Delaware nearly 75 per cent. Missouri gave Lincoln only 10 per cent, of her votes, and Massachusetts 03 per cent, yet Missouri sent 47 per cent, of her voters into the Union army, and Massa chusetts less than 12 per cent. more. Maryland gave Lincoln less than three per cent, of her votes, and Iowa 54 per cent., yet Maryland sent 49 per cent, to the Union army, and Iowa but 55 per cent. Kentucky gave Lincoln only 1, 3f4 votes arid Wisconsin 8,110, yet Kentucky's contribution to the Union army was 44 tier cent., as against GO from Wisconsin." In the face of figures like these it is little wonder that the Republican leaders have concluded that the "bloody shirt" cry has outliyed its usefulness. The Irish press. In debating the prob able effect of a change of Ministry on Irish affairs, seems to conclude generally that the Irish will b able to make bet ter terms with the Tories. The Times, of this city, says there is "something Hibernian in the naivete" of this view, but this is said apparently by somebody who has not looked into the matter at all. What either Whigs or Tories will do for Ireland can be inferred only from experience. Most of the coercion bills of the last fifty years have been passed by the Whigs. Catholic Emancipation, the first great heaiing measure for Ire land since the Union, was passed by the Tories. So was the second one the Tithe Commutation Act. So was the intriwluction of the English Poor Law. The Whigs under Melbourne gave the one bit of local self-government the island has received from Parliament, namely, the Municipal Reform Act. Gladstone, after ceasing to be Tory or Whig, disestablished the Protestant Church and passed the Land Act. But it was Forster, the Liberal Secretary, who shut up a t housand men in prison on his own warrant. In fact, it is hard to say whether Whig or Tory has done most or least for Ireland. What seems now probable is that the Radicals are i much more advanced altout Ireland I than the bulk of the Liberals, and that , the Tories, who are pretty unscrupulous I when in search of power, will be ready ! to outbid them if necessary for Irish ! rotes under the new franchise.
