Tears hence, Democracy may deceive
a new generation of voters." At pres
ent, Its cake Is dough.
The Prohibition Vote.
The progress of the Prohibition vote In
this state Is nn Interesting study. Its
first gubernatorial nominee, S. B. Chase,
In 1872, out of a total vote of 672,306, re
ceived 1,259, or less than one-fifth of 1
per cent. Four years later, this vote
grew to 13,244 for R. Audley Brown, out
of 609,564 vote3 cast, or a fraction over
2 per cent. This was the Prohibition
party's halcyon year of growth. At that
time It looked as If It might yet acquire
prominence ns a decisive factor in the
situation.
Then came the Hoyt campaign of '78,
In which Franklin H. Lane, with a
Greenback, competitor, polled only
3,653 out of 702, 038 votes, the merest
fraction above one-half of 1 per cent.
The Beaver campaign of 18S2 brought
five candidates into the field, and Alfred
C. Pettlt, the "Temperance" nominee,
polled only 5.196 out of 742,903 votes,
again considerably legs than 1 per cent,
The marked personal prestige and
popularity of Charles S. Wolfe: In 1886
Increased the Prohibition vote to 32.458
out of a total of 819,312 votes, or nearly
4 per cent. Four years ago, with John
D. Gill as the Third party nominee,
Wolfe's vote dwindled down one-half
or, to be exact, to 16,108 out of a total
vote of 928,196 less than 2 per cent. And
finally, with our own estimable towns
man, Mr. Hawley, as the standard
bearer In the contest ended last Tues
day, the Prohibition vote Is only 18,430
out of a total of 935,185, again less than
2 per cent.
To the unbiased mind, a study of
these figures will, ve believe. Indicate
that whatever the moral influence of
the Prohibition party and however es
timable the personnel of Its member
Ship, It is not what can fairly be called
In the ordinary significance of the term,
a winning party. There Is today less
sign Of a general dissolution of the old
parties in its favor than there ever has
been. Neither Is Its growth sufficient
to Justify the hope that at some remote
day It will have reached a commanding
position by the law of mathematical In
crease. One cannot withhold admira
tion from the small but earnest band of
men who year after year cling to this
partisan faith with something of the
fine zeal that the early Crusaders clung
to the hope of rescuing Jerusalem from
the Infidel. But, in the cold view of
latter-day utilitarianism, what does it
profit them? What do they expect to
achieve?
The revised return's show that Brook
lyn, too, favors consolidation with New
York. The cleaning out of Tammany
on one hand and of McLoughllnlsm on
the other would indeed make a magnlfi
cent corner stone to the long-dreamed
of Greater New Tork.
' Regulate Travel by Trolleys.
Among the questions that are quite
certain to come before the next legisla
ture Is one of rapidly growing Interest
and Importance the regulation of the
trolley. With avenues of electric tran
sit multiplying on every hand and In
every direction; with the volume of lit!
gatlon from this source increasing
every second and with a swelling chorus
of urban complaint at the rapacity, in
efficiency or carelessness of the trol
ley companies before it as an Impres
sive reminder, the legislature at its
forthcoming session cannot easily es
cape from Its obvious responsibility In
these premises. It will be expected to
formulate general laws regulating the
rights of passengers and property own
ers which are almost entirely 'absent
from the statue book today, because
not deemed necessary under the condt
tlons of steam travel; and It will be ex
pected, also,' while formulating these
laws, to bear In mind the Interests of
the people as well as the Interests of
the carrier corporations.
, The state of New Jersey offers one or
two good suggestions In this direction,
Last year Its legislature passed a law
requiring street railway companies to
obtain the consent of a majority of the
property owners along a given route be
fore a track could be laid or the trolley
sjBtem Introduced. It occurs to us that
this kind of law In Pennsylvania would
do away with one very common source
of complaint and be decidedly more
satisfactory than the present arrange
ment whereby a corrupt or careless
council may, if It choose, give every
street in any city over, free of coBt, to
the purposes of a Traction company
which very seldom Is actuated by pure
philanthropy. In similar manner,
the property- owners ought to have the
right to decide whether the wires of
trolley system using part of their street
shall be permitted to depend from un
sightly poles and guys or be properly
burled In a Btreet conduit, as such wires
are now burled, with entire Buccess, In
number of western cities.
But, moit important, even, than this
is the question whether state or local
legislation shall regulate the running of
trolley cars, the keeping of schedules,
the seating of passengers and other de
tails essential to the safety and com
fort of the people. If this duty is to be
entrusted to municipal councils in the
case of purely local street railway sys
tems there ought also to be stringent
state laws to govern Inter-urban travel.
And a generul law calling fr the for
feiture of charters after a certain num
ber of proved violations would be an ef
fective supplement. The promiscuous
packing together of men, women and
children In the trolley cars of any large
city, notably our own, during the time
of busiest travel, has reached the pro
portions of an Intolerable nuisance
which cannot be too iiuickly corrected.
"no seat, no fare" law Is In order;
also a law requiring every car to bo
limited to a certain maximum number
of passengers, with a provision for ex
tra cars for every fraction over this
limit, under penalty of heavy fine or
forfeiture of charter.
The present farclal laxity In the regu
lation of street railway travel will not
long be endured. The people are be
coming too conscious of their own
rights and of their own power.
The country has the money, the men
and the hope. Why, then, not have the
business revival?
The Defeat of fir. Davies.
By reference to the official returns
tabulated on page seven it will be seen
that the unfortunate defeat of Thomas
Davies for county treasurer has been
due to two conspicuous causes; first,
the treachery of self-styled Republi
cans who spent time and money In an
otherwise fruitless effort to defeat their
own party ticket; and secondly, the
individual popularity of Mr. Schadt,
which, notably In the Fourth, Ninth
and Seventeenth wards, caused the ele
ment of personal friendship in some In
stances to outweigh party fealty1. The
latter cause Is more easily forgiven
than the former. Mr. Schadt, aa a
young man who has been active and
prominent In local affairs, naturally ap
pealed to his warm Republican friends
who, never suspecting that the candi
dacy of Mr. Davies would be unsuc
cessful, thought that it could safely
spare their complimentary votes.
Many of these unquestionably now re
gret that this feeling of personal es
teem should have been the means of de
feating a worthy and honorable Re
publican, whose fitness for public office
certainly equals that of any other
nominee on the ticket.
Unfortunate, however, ns this phase
of the situation undoubtedly is, It is
certainly less discreditable than is the
clear evidence ' of deliberate party
treachery which the returns exhibit as
the handiwork of the contingent of em
bittered soreheads led by ex-Mayor
John H. Fellows. Once fairly defeated
In convention this contingent, under
the lead of a man who had repeatedly
held office through the suffrages of fel
low Republicans,. Immediately started
out with the avowed purpose of knifing
every man on the successful ticket.
The midnight conferences held by him
and his co-conspirators with the Dem
ocratic managers; his futile effort to
get signatures to an Independent candi
dacy for congress; and finally the
financial pool contributed by these men
to pay the expenses of an organized
bolt are facts of notorious prominence,
But, finding after a time that the con
tract of defeating the whole ticket was
an impossible one, the revolutionists, in
a last gasp of jealousy and revenge,
passed an order along the line to drop
the fight on the other candidates and
to concentrate It on Mr. demons and
Mr. Davies.' This will account for the
falling off of Mr. Davies' vote In many
election districts where his associates
on the ticket polled the normal party
vote. Although this defection, coward
ly as It was In view of all the circum
Btances, would have proved Ineffectual
had there been no complimentary vot
lng for Mr. Schadt, we confidently sub
mlt to the fair Judgment of the loyal
Republicans of the county that less
blame attaches to mistaken friendship
than to deliberately plotted treachery
and systematic conspiracy within the
party lines.
So far from falling In the estimation
of Impartial public opinion as a conse
quence of his narrow defeat, Mr. Davies
distinctly gains In popular esteem. To
the respect which Is commanded by his
admitted integrity and unswerving
honesty he may now add the admira
tion which is his by reason of the er.e-
mles he has made. Deep down in the
American heart there is a feeling of
profound disgust for the cowardly
skulker who after licking the hand of
a friend takes advantage of the night
to stab his benefactor in the back. As
first class examples of what decent
partisans will never condescend to be,
the case of John H. Fellows and those
leagued with him In his plot of party
betrayal, stands luminously out upon
the face, of the official returns with
most unenviable significance.
Nor, wo fancy, will decent Repubil
cans soon forget the lesson they Im
press. '
The emperor of Germany evidently
does not know what Lincoln so well
understood; that In the government of
sane men love is far more potent than
fear.
Not Settled, by a Good Deal.
.Moved by ,the spirit of prophecy
which sometimes settles upon great
minds soon after the 'occurrence ' of
some stirring event, the Philadelphia
Inquirer dogmatically says: "After
this let us hear no more of free silver-
certainly not from any Republican
quarter. -All such heresies belong to
the Democrats. Let them have a mon
opoly of them. Protection and honest
money will win in '96 and nothing else
win."
We are reluctant to question a fact
which Ib thus so decisively and sum
marlly disposed of; nevertheless,
might be well for the Inquirer to at
least let the country come to the bridge
of 1896 beforo Insisting that It shall In
stantly cross It. If the Inquirer will
consult the most prominent Republics
leaders of Its own state it will doubt
less ascertain that there la jusl as
strong a disposition today as there was
one week ago to give the silver pro
ducers of the west a fair and reason
able chance; provided this can be done
without hurt to other equally Import
ant interests. The idea that the large
plurality of last Tuesday stamps every
thing west of the Mississippi as Contra
band .is one that might well be dis
missed before it gets much further dis
seminated. "Protection and honest money" is a
good slogan. We heartily accept It.
But In using the first word of that shib
boleth, let us not restrict Its meaning
entirely to the Iron mills and coal mines
of Pennsylvania. If it la good for these,
let us be manly enough to extend the
same protection to the silver mines of
Montana and Colorado. And as for
honest money, that money will be most
honest which shall give to every section
a fair and reasonable diffusion of pros
perity, yet not seek to restrict the cur-
ency of a great people to the Insuffic
ient metallic basis of a smull creditor
luss.
The Republican party Is unequivo
cally committed to honest bimetallism.
It cannot consistently draw back from
Its promised use of American silver
even to please so excellent a newspaper
as the Philadelphia Inquirer.
When Lord Rosebery declared that in
Its foreign policy England lost sight of
political parties he defined a truth
which Americans, too, ought to adopt.
The honor of the nation In foreign
lands should be as dear to Democrats
as to Republicans. The tipportunltles
for heated difference over details of do
mestic administration are ubundant
for nil the yearnings of- partisan cn
thusiasts.
The Inhabitants of New York state
Itles have acquired the habit of look
lng too often to Albany for government
which they should establish at home.
It Is a mighty poor city which cannot
paddle Its own canoe.
Business prosperity Is the child of
hopeful public opinion. And public
opinion just now Is uncommonly hope
ful.
ELECTION ECHOES.
Chairman Reeder, of tho Center county
Republican committee, 'attributes a large
share of the credit for tho unparalleled
victory in that county to the influence of
the Republican press, which was very
carefully circulated In Center, under the
campaign committee's direction. The dif
ference between Center county Republi
cans and thoso who controlled the Repub
lican battle In Lackawanna will be appar
ent when it is said that tho latter did not
irculato one extra paper. So far as Is
now known, Lackawunna county In thlB
respect stands absolutely unique among
the close counties In the state.
Representation In the next Republican
state convention will be based upon the
Republican vote cast last Tuesday. Phil
adclphla will. It Is said, have more than
one-third of all the delegates In the con
ventlon.

Oeneral Hastings displayed good sense
when he requested those Hellefonte
friends who wanted to honor him with an
Immense jollification meotlng to apply to
charity the money that would have
been required to cover this needless
expense. A similar rule throughout tho
country would do much to alleviate Democratic-bred
distress.
Now that General Hastings has got
safely "out of the woods," the place-
hunter is endeavoring to follow his ex
ample. The cabinet makers seem to be
pretty well agreed that the next guberna
torial cabinet will contain the names of
George I!. Orlady, Charles F. Warwick,
or General Beaver for attorney generul
General Frank Reeder for secretary of
the commonwealth and Colonel Tom Stew
art for adjutant general. Chairman GUk
eson leads for Insurance commissioner,
Captain John C. Dclaney will, in all prob
ability, bo factory Inspector and ex-Rep-
resentatlvc M. A. Foltz, of Chambers-
burg, a first-class editor and printer, has
expectations that he will be named super
intendent of public printing. News -Gill-tor
Thomas J. Lindsay, of the Philailol
phla Bulletin, Is also a candidate for this
position. He is backed by Tom Cooper,
According to current report, John V,
Elkln, of Indiana, will be the next dep
uty attorney, general. George C. Hutch
inson, of Huntingdon,' sergeant-at-arms
of tho senate In the session of 1801; ox
I'nllcd States Marshal Harrah, of Reaver,
and Representative Nesbltt, of Allegheny,
who was defeated for renomlnatlon, are
aspirants for deputy secretary of the com
munwealth. General Hastings private
socretury will, It Is thought, be Lewis S,
Beltlcr, of Philadelphia.
t'p on the hill, at Harrlsburg, the coi
sips have It that Senator Thomas, of Phil
adelphia, having been chosen president
pro tern of the senate at the close of the
last session, will, of course, be again
chosen when tho senato shall convene, and
Edward W. 8mlley, of Venango, will
again be chief clerk. The other clerk
ships and minor offices wilt not be pa
celcd out until the appointment of the
slute committee. In tho houso It looks
as If Harry F. Walton, of Philadelphia,
would be elected speaker. There are other
candidates, notably, Mies, of Tioga; Kun
kel, of Dauphin; Seyfert, of Lancaster
Farr, of Lackawanna, and others, who. If
defcuted for the speakership will prob
ably Bccuro the chairmanship of an Im
portant committee.
...
Chief Clerk Charley Voorhees will be op
posed for re-election by Resident Clerk
A. D. Fettcrolf ; and should It become nec
essary to select a third man a utrong ef
fort would undoubtedly be made In behalf
of Fred W. Fleltz, of Scranton, who en
Joys friendly relations wjth both and who
would doubtless be an acceptable com
promise.
Major McDowell, whose humorous
speech withdrawing from the field In fa
vor of Colonel George F, Huff was a hap
pyNeature of the last state convention
will sock consolation for the loss of his
congressional seat by striving to succeed
ex-Representative James Kerr, of Clear
field, as chlof clork of. the house during
Fifty-fourth congress. It la probable that
he will recolve the unanimous, Indorse
ment or tne Keystone delegation.
The Republicans of Wllllamsport are
naturally prouu or tne. splendid record
made by their legislative candidate, Em
erson Collins, who defeats Walter E. Rlt
ter, the present member, by 1,110, which Is
nearly 600 In excess or General Hastings'
plurality. Already there is talk of send
ing Mr. Collins to congress. .
Senator Cameron and Representative
Sibley are quoted In a Denver dispatch as

It Is Intimated that Speaker-to-be-Reed

Hush thy groans, and cease thy ranting,
Check thy Bobs, and turn mine oar,
Hearken to tho words of wisdom,
Thou, und thou ulone, must hear.
If the man of dark devices

Where the Tiger's doleful mailings

Seek my honchmen, say it's certain
That my pride la hard to kill,
And I'm glad they sheathed their weapons

Though my wan and scattered legions
Broke and ran In panic fear.
Though from all the coasts and regions
Comes no note of Joy or cheer;
Tlioutfh my stnunchest, truest soldiers
From tho foenmn break ana swerve,

Clad In my supremest nerve.
As for theo, star-eyed Free Trader,
Glorious sorceier of the blind,
Smooth my pathway to oblivion
With tho coinage of thy mind.

Over land, and sea, and shore,

Whllo I list thy learned lore.
