A LEXOW INVESTIGATION FOR PHILA
DELPHIA.
This will be a great week in the po-
litical history of Pennsylvania. Sena-
tor Quay is to be in Harrisburg and
the struggle for supremacy between
him and Dave Martin will begin. The
Beaver county man is expected to in-
sist on the passing of the resolution to
Lexow Philadelphia. When this is
done factional lines must be drawn
and the people who have been strad-
dling the political fence will have to
show whom they will look to as a lead-
er in the future.
The Martin-Porter people are badly
frightened. They now realize there is
to be an investigation, and while they
say they do not fear the results it is
very evident they would rather not
have their past history examined into.
Some of them declare Quay will not
dare insist on an investigation as it
would turn out badly for him. They
intimate that the investigators may be
investigated before the Penrose inqui-
ry is over. The friends of the Beaver
statesman laugh at the bluff and have
the temerity to say there is nothing in
the past history of their leader that he
is afraid to have revealed.
United States by purchase could be ac-
complished within the next few years,
That it would be wise to do so we do
not doubt, and that, in addition to
getting a full compensation for all
that could be paid for the island, no
greater act of humanity could be done
by our government than to gather in
Cuba as an addition to our possessions,
THE congressional apportionment
now before the legislature, makes Cen-
tre, Clearfield and Elk a congressional
district. We think that Centre and
Clearfield should adhere to their rules
basing the representation in the con-
gressional conference upon the Demo-
cratic vote cast in each county. Little
Elk cannot in justice claim to have as
large a vote in conference as the large
counties of Centre and Clearfield.
Let the Orvis rule be adhered to.

IN the state senate a resolution has
been introduced to have a Lexow com-
mitte appointed to investigate the do-
ings of Philadelphia city officials. It
is altogether a Republican fight in
which one faction desires to expose
the rottenness of the other. An inves-
tigation is sorely needed, the govern-
ment of that city is rotten from top to
bottom.

litt act is by them considered a gigan-
tic bluff.
The Martin faction also claim that
Penrose was afraid to make the resolu-
tion a joint one. They think had
been put to sleep. There are
people who would have liked to see a
joint resolution as it would have re
quired the signature of Governor Hast-
ings. This would have shown with
whom the chief executive intended to
east his lot. Ever since the appoint-
ment of Captain Walton as e¢ity con-
troller of Philadelphia many of the
legislators are of the opinion General
Hastings is a Martin man.

It is not surprising that the iotelli-
cord desire annexation to the
States,
ba by Spain are the largest per capita
of any country in the world, and when
it is remembered that the whole taxes
are paid by a very small minority, the
enormity of this oppression may be ap-
precisted. Those who have property
interests see no safety excepting in an-
nexation and freedom from the convul-
sions and exposure of both life and
property and the oppressive taxes
which follow. We doubt not, there-
fore, that our correspondent expresses
the view of those whose wishes should
be respected in moulding the destiny
of Cuba.
How the annexation of Cuba is to
be brought about is not proposed by
our correspondent. Our government
could not take forcible possession of it
without provocation or a clearly de-
fined declaration of war, The whole
policy of the civilized world is against
annexation by conquest, aud this gov.
ernment could not make any such
move without endangering its peace-
ful relations with the governments of
Europe. The only other method of ac-
quiring Cuba would be by purchase,
and we doubt not that it would be
wise for this government to pay even
a high price, as it would be a most im-
portant acquisition to us in every way.
It has been long agitated by some of
our leading statesmen, prominent
among whom has been Ex-Mayor
Hewitt, of New York, and we doubt
not that if Spain were to show a dis-
position to negotinte on reasonable

To Oppose Free Sliver,
A strong and vigorous fight against
the free and unlimited coinage of sil-
ver, independent of international
agreement, is to be made by the ad-
ministration. With that end in view
officers in the various executive de-
partments, appointed under the pres
ent administration, are being urged to
organize systematically for the pur
pose of conducting the contest along
the lines laid down in the president's
message. Many of the high officials
who enjoy reputations at home as
stump speakers will probably take to
the field early in the summer and oth-
ers are even now engaged in writing
letters to their local papers, or person-
al friends, impressing upon them the
importance of sustaining the adminis-
tration in the position it has outlined.
Federal officers in the several states
will be organized as a nucleus about
which all who uphold the administra-
tion or rather who are opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
will be expected to rally.
