May Pay.
May day comes, as It has ever ceme
te the peels, In ttie beauty and fragrance
of Btirina'fl bluBhlnir bloom. TIie trees are
a' flowering and nil nature puts en her
freshest garb te welceme the gladseme
season. Frem the tline of the Remans
the month has been a period of festivals
In " merrie England " Blnce the relgn of
the Tudors and Stuarts the first of May
has been a holiday, en which In Chaucer's
time " forth goeUi nil the court, both
most and least, te fetch the llewers
fresh." The garlanded May pole only

sentiment had spent its force. Irem
Milten nud Hcrrlck, past Gay and Keats,
down te the laureate, nearly all the
poets who hnve turned their eyes te the
stars nud walked with their feet among
the flowers, have sung of May, " It net
the first, the fairest of the year," as
Dryden wrote. Milten saw "the llewery
May" "from her green lap threw " " the
yellow cowslip and the pale primrose ;'
te Thomsen In the precession of the sea

A Contrast.
We note the appointment of Mr.
Haydn II. Tshudy, of Lititz, a promi
nent and active Republican politician,
a3 notary public. It is in accordance
with Gov. PaUlsen's consistent policy of
making no partisan discriminations In
appointments te tills elllce. Gov. Heyt
professed te observe the same impar
tlallty ; we are net se sure that he
always adhered te it.
However, we note Mr. Tshudy'sap
pain'ment at this time net te disapprove
it hi paitleular but te point a contrast. 1
Seme time age bids were asked for the
collection of the state and county tax in
Mr. Tshudy 'd township of Warwick.
Jera. Achey. a Damecr.it and lit for the
duty, bid sever.il dollars lower than
Peter Witmer, a Republican. Upen the
application of the Republican school
directors of that district, including Wit
rner himself ene of them, unaccempm
led by any reason whatever, County
Commissioners Myers and Summj', also
both Republicans, awarded the job te
Witmer, who shamed himself, if he
did net commit a legal malfeasance in
office, by trying te get it.
If Mr. Tshudy protested against this
outrage committed by a let of his
party associates, we have never
heard any clamor from him
the subject; and we consider
en I
lue J
season of his appointment te a profit
able office by a Democratic governor, a
geed time te remind him or the ineffable
meanness of his party in his township
and county.
Tin: present is a time when the na
tlenal banks are apprehensive and uncer
tain about the future, and the selection
of a successor te Controller Knox is a
matter te which the president sheull
have given very careful attention, se
that his choice would at least have rec
ommended itself by the circumspection
with which it was made. After a geed
deal of waiting, calculated te stimulate
great expectations, lie picks outenellenry
W. Cannen, of Minnesota, for the place.
The country does net knew much about
him, which is net necessarily proof of
his unfitness. The New Yerk limes
says he "is distinctly favored for politi
cal reasons and Is expected te introduce
the principles of the spoils sj stem into
office ;" and It intimates that the presl
dent who is a candidate for re election
named him te please Senater Sabln,
the new clmlrmau of the Republican
national committee. That Is a s)ry
plausible explanation of it.
A mttmj incident In the public
career of Mr. Blaine, which has been
recalled by the New Yerk Herald, is net
likely te ba much rellshed by that emi
nent gentleman's admirers. Ner will
an account of It, in all probability, ap
pear anvwhere in the 700 pages te be in
cluded betweeu the lids of Vel. II of
Mr. Blaine's "Twenty Years In Cen
gross." That the end of his six j ears
experience in the speaker's chair was
marked by the presentation te him of a
suitable testimonial from the "king of
the lobby," te whom Speaker Dlalne had
shown himself a "true man," was net
then u subject of wonder te these who
had watched the consistent career of
Mr. Dlaiue as he rose from the lobby te
the speaker's chair ; but, as public 1
opinion Is a llttle mero sensitive new
than It was in ls7e, the recollection of
this Incident Is just the sort of thing te
glve Mr. lllalne a sunstroke as early as
the Mayday.
Tin: quadrennial meeting of the gen
eral cenfurence of the Methodist F.pisuo F.pisue
pal church, which opens in Philadelphia
te day, Is au occasion well calculated te
stir the pulse and eugage the earnest
attention of the members of tint great
denomination. In aggressive energy,
widu diffusion of church membership
and wonderful growth, Methodism dial,
lengea the admiration of all who give
neeu 10 tue pnenomena or religious de
velepmcnt. In a review of Its work
since the last general conference met no
fact will be found mero gratifying te
these who believe in that sound policy
of church, state and commerce, " pay
as you go," than that in this brief pe
riod the Methodist churches of the
country have paid off $5,000,000 of debts,
and probably Improved church property
te the extent of $3,GOO,OO0J
If Jim Keene has geno te the wall,
as reported today, there will net be
found mnny te sympathlre with his fi
nancial misfortunes ; nor any mere te
cengratulate these who have profited by
his disasters. The public has come te
leek en the "Wall street speculators as
privateers en the high seas, and when a
cyclene strikes them and scatters or
sinks their ships tlicre Is little condol cendol condel
onco wasted upon them. Hetween the
conflicts of the bulls and bears, the
wolves and the lambs, no geed comes te
the substantial business interests of the
ceunti y, and when they have effectually
devoured each ether, there will be
cause for general rejoicing. The busi
ness of stock gambling has had a mush
room growth ; It will be well if it has a
similar brief exis tence.

At last Mr. Maine lias been endorsed

James R. Kecne catne east about a
1I07C11 jcars age from the Pacific coast,
wheie he had made a fertune in milling.
He was at llrst known as " the man In the
white Ulster," nud seen took a prominent
nasi t ion in Wall street, nnd inn) car or
two canto te rank with the icry llrst nien
of the street. His operations In stocks,
wheat, com nnd oil have been enormous
and when his fortunes weioen the zenith
he was estimated te be worth all the wav
from ten te thirty millions. Fer the last
two or three years hts position has net
been (tuite pe prominent and stories
aflcctiuc his credit have been froipieut of
late. At ene tlme he devoted a geed
deal of attention te the turf and owned
seme of the most fatuous hones in the
werll.
When it was nrst gneu out Unit Keene
bad started East from San FrancUce in n
private pal.ice car, with four or tlve
million dollars, with which he was going
te break several Wall street magnate, Mr.
Oeuld is said te have remarked : "We'll
send him back In n freight ear '" His
prophecy has ceme true. Keene was
unable te meet his ongagemonts yesterday
which is tantamount te a failure.
ltis trouble culminated in an attempt by
a put and mil broker te get Mr. Keene
te recen e .J.elM shares of Erie at'22, that
beiiit: the price at which he had agreed te
recelve it 1 1 the put he had sold. Other
holders of his nnuleires also tried te de
liver stocks te him te the extent, it is said
of 10,000 shares or luiire, but were unable
te de se Tuej had, according te the ceu
dttieus of tlu privileges, uetilled Mr
Kcene en Tuesday of their intentions te
deliver him the stocks Upen presenting
them thej were kept waittug en ene pre
text aud another uutil at last Mr. Keene
said that he and they would haie te agree
upeu a scUlerueut pneoer they would ell
in the market aud he would de what he
could te pay the diflereuee. As an uistance
of the possible losses of Mr. Keene up n
these transactions, it is Mid that 2 000
shares el Western Union were put te him
at 70) aud auether let of 1,000 shares at
0 f he ateck was selling at about 62,
making the less in one cise, previdiug Mr.
Keeue had net previously protected him him
eelf by soiling the stock abjut Stj.nOOand
in the ethor jO.OOO.
An. ther broker wanted te put 1,000
shirts of Umeu Facidc at 01. or about
t cent, above the market lu seme in
stances where Mr. Keeue refued te accept
the stoek he sent written notices te the
helders of the privileges te sell the stock
fei his account ami he would de the best
he cenld te settle the account.
Wher the fact that Mr. Keene had laid
down en Lis privileges was thoreughl
ctablfhcd the put and call brokers made
things lively at their headquarters in New
street, sonic of them held large lines of
Knee's paper and all appeared anxieas te
get nd of them. Vroeme. of the privilege
deanng tlrm of Micbelet A. Ce., was said
te held privileges en at least fifty thousand
shares et stock, and Francis Barrett, who
tried te put the Krie stoek m
the morning and whoee son had
been of late the principal dealer in
Keene's paper", was also said te held
a considerable amount. The privileges
wereripully elTered down te 71, then te
50 and dually 00 p-r cent, of their cost
pnee And jet no considerable transac
tiens were made. The howling group
Mtnply succeeded m marking down the
price. While the excitement was at its
height an asile and vigorous young man
jumped into the crowd, shouting that he
would bet J100 even that -Mr. Keene
would piy 100 cents en the dollar. He
was ene of Mr. Kcene's following anil his
eder was greeted with cheers and jeers.
' I don't want jour inouey,'' yelled
Brekor eeley, but I'll het you 100 te
0 that he d i't." i .More howling. J
Anether curbstone operator euVrel te
tike the llrst mcntiuucd bat if he oeuld
put up Kociie's pipers against the i 100 in
CJi-ll.
Liter in the day it was announced en
the authority of Vroeme, who had just
ceme frMii Keene's office, that thai opera
tor wis willing te buy up his privileges at
the amount hu had received for thorn.
He had received such an offer himself but
had declined it Mill later it was said by
a broker c mnceted with KoeneN office
that he would buy up all the papers he
had written duiing the last three dajs,
paving cah or profits If any existed.
A report that he made privileges as late
as Wednesday morning was emphatically
domed byattanhes of his utile j. It is said
that the last he made were written en
'luesday for about 5,000 shares The
Hlery that he had made them later may
have .irniMi from the fact that an operator
bought ene ou a considerable number of
shares in the in 'rnmg for ?1,7",0. The num
her or amount of privileges of Mr. Koeno
outstanding c i" be only estimated. It is
said that he does net knew himself.
Brokers who have dealt in thorn estimate
the "imeuut as being upon Irem 110,0 JO te
upward of ."J),0ta shares. Many of them
are th rt time papers and a geed many,
especnlly the eills, are net likely te be of
ati) value.

"With elevaters an I grinanes and

with vast Holds greening te the c u
harvest ; with a crop uoexcolled in I ml a ;
with splendid premise among all wheat
growing nations aud with the price of
wheat at less than HO oeuut, the result will
be inevitable that the price of wheat bofero

production, and corn raised ou Western

that day farmers will bj bagirsin the

uluce the tiuth must be told, thore Is in
the minds of politicians of the Middle and
Western states, and of Republican politi
cians especially, au unconquerable preu
dlce against the promotion of any New
Euglund Yankee te tlie chleftainshlp of
this grand old party of fiaud and moral
Iden. They would rather have a third

projudiue operatou pewerfully In favor of
Mr. Blaine, who Is only a New Englander
by acelduut and emigration, while at heirt
he remains a Peniisylvanl.iu.
Moreover, Mr. Edmunds has few warm
personal frlendH who will work for him
and light for him. Nothing In his oeld,
