I have talked with many prominent re
publicans on the subject. I 11ml thnt it is
nttrnctlwr much attention, nnd that senti
ment Is stronuly In favor of choosing na
tional delegates nt the county convention
next full, nnd of choosinc William Cou
ncil nnd J. A. Scranton as the (lelecati'S.
Those who expect nnythlntr In the
way of patronace from the next conirrwa
will therefore turn In and lend a hand to
Mr. Ri-riinton tn the light. "Roderick

So there Is to be a fiirht, la there? Hy
whose authority Is William Connell's
name used In the sense of a life-pre
server for J. A. Scnvnton?
No Occasion for Bloodshed.
The swelling indignation of the dls
tlnculshed editor of the Philadelphia
Press at Senator Quay for the part ho
took in the recent apportionment bat
tle would be more commer.dnble If it
were more clearly lmporFonal. Put
when Mr. Smith fans the flame of party
disappointment with an unonrealed
purpose of furthering hi:- own political
advancement, It may be well for tha
Republican masses to subject his fiery
utterances to a slight measure of dis
count. It Is not open to doubt that
Senator Quay has made a mistake; but
It Is by no means certain that by this
mistake he has forfeited all claim to
party leadership, or that the Republi
can party In Pennsylvania would rrofit
by an exchange which should replace
Senator Quay by any of the able gen
tlemen who are now so energetically
nagging at him.
The Tribune fought for a fair appor
tionment and would have been glad
had the legislature fulfilled lt3 obvious
duty in this direction; but its failure
has by no means soured Its views of
life nor filbd It with the measure bf
alarm which can only be eared by 'the
disruption of the present splendid Re
publican organization. Senator Quay's
own side of the case, which we repro
duce below, is entitled to attentive con
sideration; and while we do not agree
with "him in the belief tha t the recent
defeat of all reapportionment measures
Involved no evil politics, we are equally
far from acquiescing In the belief of
his enemies that the Republican party
would fare better under an untried
leadership, subject to mistakes probably
far greater than any Senator Quay has
ever committed, or is ever likely to
commit. In other words, while we aro
disappointed at the legislature's work,
we are not whetting any knives for
the purpose of helping the envious
even In his faults, Is greater than the
majority of his critics are in their as
sumed virtues. This is Mr. Quay's
statement:
"The constitution of Pennsylvania de
clares that the general assembly, at Its
first pesslon after the adoption of this
constitution and Immediately after cavti
United States decennial census, shall
apportion tho state Into senatorial and
representative districts. It Is clear thdt
so far as theso words are to bo deonicj
mandatory they apply only to tho lcgus
laturo which moots immediately or next
after each census. If, through Inabllliy
' on the part of tho two houses to agreo,
or perhaps through the action of a par
tisan governor vetoing apportionment
bills because they do not suit him and Ins
party a thing which has occurred In our
recent experience the duty Is left unper
formed, then It lies In the discretion of
subsequent legislatures to pass proper ap
portionment bills or wait until a new
census furnishes a reliable basis for tho
work.
"The changes In our population and tho
phif ting of Its local centers, owing to coal
and petroleum developments, the sudden
growth of manufacturing towns nnd tho
like may nt nny time make tho latter
course tho more safe and desirable to tuka.
Tho constitution does not mean thnt tho
duty of apportioning Bhall be mandatory
and continuing on every leglslaturs that
sits between any two decennial censuses.
If It does, no business might bo trans
acted for ten years at a stretch, except
lighting ovor apportionment measures.
nVfr trrtifnt.nieo, In tho year 1900, have tho
f-iinmin nnpnincm nr n ipmninTtirA p in i
apportion the ttn.to on the basis of the
census of 1SC0, tho taking of the new con
sun bolng then In progress. Of course,
tho nearer we get to the tlmo when a cen
sus Is to be taken the less excuse there Is
for doing what ere long would havo to be
done anew. Conditions may exist or arise
requiring the matter of apportionment to
be attended to at a time other than that
expressly fixed by the mandates of tho
constitution. A mere .temporary Inequal
ity Is not always sufficient to demand tho
exercise of tho discretionary power. We
must remember, too, that undor the most
careful apportionment absolute equality
cannot be reached.
"Now, as to members of congress, there
Is nothing In the constitution of Pennsyl
vania In relation to the tlmo of making
nnnirneflnlnnfl.l nnnnrtlnnmnnr tint la thnpa
anything In tho constitution or laws of tho
United States In relation to the time.
Tho apportionment bill passed by tho
, Fifty-first congress Is directory and pro
vides for failure or rofusal to apportion
from any cause by legalizing the election
of mombors upon the stnto ticket at large.
There Is not a Bhadow of an excuse for the
charge that failure to apportion congres
sional districts Is a violation of the consti
tution of Pennsylvania or of the United
States. As to tho charge that Injustice
haa been done the two greatest cities of'
the state, the fact Is that by a new appor
tionment Philadelphia can gnln nothing
In tho legislature, either In senator or rep
resentatives, tho former being limited by
the present constitution to eight, tho pres
ent number. Tho congressional reappor
tionment would give Philadelphia an nddi
tlonal member of congress, but would by
necessary adjustment dismember tho
third (tho Democratic district), and pluco
two of tho members of tho present con.
Kress In one district, Tho Hepubllenns of
Philadelphia, nro scarcely desirous of llils
arrangement. In my Judgment thore has
boon no Infraction of tho constitution and
no evil pblltics In the recent occurrences
at Harrlsburg."
Relating: to Base Bnll.
It Is our opinion that It ill becomes
tho president of the Scranton Rase Rail
association to appear, an he does In a
lon;j statement published in another
column, as the apologist or defender of
rowdyism on the ball field. Mr. Retts'
own card concedes the main pedtit that
the young man Johnson "resisted an
effort that was unwnrrantedly made to
prevent him from entering" the ball
park. How? If the reports of eye wit
nesses aro to be believed, by hitting the
man who resisted him a cowardly blow
In tho fnce. Is' this the kind of conduct
that President Retts cares to sanction?
Tho Scranton Rail club Is entitled to
fair treatment, and If we have In nny
instance overstepped Uie line of proper
criticism, we shall be glad to make
acknowledgment of the faet. V.ut we
think It was patent to every attendant
at the Memorial Ray games that the ar
rangements made for the accommoda
tion of patrons at the local bnll park
wore utterly Inadequate; and it Is a poor
evasion to Shunt the burden for this un
satisfactory condition of affairs over
upon the visiting club. Are the officials
of visiting clubs expected to open new
gates, hire new ticket sellers, put awn
ings on the grandstand and employ po
licemen to preserve order? If so, what
Is the use of having a homo manage
ment?
Scranton's Fine Future.
After noting the fact that power gen
crated nt Niagara nnd electrically
transmitted, will cost the initial charge
of $15 per yearly horse-power, plus the
cost of electrical apparatus for the
utilization of the delivered current;
and also the fact that the yearly cost
of a steam-generated horse power
under average conditions approximates
"Power" for June says:
There Is another source of latent power,
less talked of, perhaps, than Niagara, but
possessing. It seems to us, great possibili
ties of development. We refer to the Im
mense culm piles of the anthracite regions.
In Scranton, for example, fuel is .deliv
ered at the boiler room at Zi cents per
ton, not so very bad fuel either If wo may
credit the statement of the secretary of
the board of trade that the average con
sumption Is 3 1-3 pounds per hourly horse
power, nnd the average fuel cost per year
le?s than $4, per horse-power. Suppose
there were used of It, however, twice as
much per horse-power as of Mr. Man
nings' expensive coal, then tho price per
horse-power would bo M.li In the plant
where no counter charge Is made for ex
haust steam and $1.73 when one-quarter
of the steam is so used, making the total
cost per horse-power per year $1.".S7." nnd
$11.19 respectively. This, remember, Is the
total cost including every conceivable
charge that can be trumped up ngalnst
the power plant, white the $15 at Niagara
Is the bare cost of the water or electric
current.
It has been suggested thnt electricity
might be economically generated by sta
tions at the culm piles for transmission
to a distance. It Is true that Sernnton has
no Ituffalo within twenty miles, but when
tho financial practicability of really long
distance transmission shall have been
demonstrated she will bo nt an Immense
advantage. In New York state everything
cast of Syracuse Is nearer to Scranton
than to Niagara, antl Scranton Is nearer
to Iloston than Niagara is to New York,
while between Scranton and tho metropolis
nre several lnrge manufacturing cities Uko
Nownrk and Paterson, capable of absorb
ing an Immense amount of power. Water
In tho coal regions Is apt to be Impreg
nated wuth sulphurous products, nnd to bo
very Injurious to boilers nnd pumps.
Scranton has, however, nn abundant sup
ply of water, absolutely free from any
corrosive Ingredients, nnd nn excellent
boiler water In other respects. Rollers
which have been run for ten years with
only tho ordinary precautions ngalnst
scale are found to bo clean and without
Indications of corrosion.
There seems to be no wlldness In the
prediction that Scranton will yet be
the center of the electrical Industry.
An exchange In a timely article calls
attention to the fact that trolley cars
are not the only menace to pedestrians.
Another danger appears In the Increas
ing hordo of bicycle riders, who, In
many Instances, seem to consider that
tho man on foot has no rights thai they
are bound to respect. This 13 more
noticeable with the young riders; and
as a rule the less control the 'cyclist
has over his wheel the more anxious he
seems to be to exhibit his skill In
dodging pedestrians and vehicles while
riding at breakneck speed. "Where one
rider exercises care on crowded streets
thero nre sometimes a dozen hump
backed freaks whose wheels are with
out bells, lamps or other signals of
warning, and who depend upon their
own dexterity to avoid collisions as
they spin along at nightfall. Scranton
has the usual quota of thls dangerous
class, and it would not seem a bad Idea
for tho police to give the matter a little
attention. Several accidents havo al
ready occurred, and ns the number of
riders is rapidly increasing, restriction
should be put upon their speed on
crowded street b of the city.

The Japanese soldiers, tt Is said, have
had enough of war and will be content
with almost any arrangement that the
powers may suggest, In tho way of di
viding territory. In order that fighting
may cease. In ithls respect Japan
'seems to be in accord with the nations
of tho earth. The men who fire tho
guns ara not nearly so anxious for
war as are the individuals who do the
yelling at a safe distance. -
Our esteemed contemporary, tho Buf
falo Evening News, heroically exclaims:
"Tho society women of Buffalo have
done a courageous and sensible thing
In lifting out of reproach one of the hap
piest terms used In current art. They
have made 'living pictures' mean some
thing." There seems no question that
proper subjects Impersonated by' Buffa
lo society ladles mlcbt mean a pood
deal. In ordinary every day life living
pictures aro not considered as enter
prises calculated to elevate one's taste
for high art. There Is something
strangely weird In the warped pose of
nn ancient ballet girl behind a frame
that provokes mirth rather than artis
tic sentiments. In most Instances "liv
ing pictures" are best appreciated by
tho class of citizens whose art studies
havo been confined to the occasional
contemplation of a pair of queens or
three juries emblazoned upon pieces of
cardboard. Now that RuCfalo society
ladles havo taken the matter In hand,
residents of that city, at least, will have
the pleasure of seeing living pictures In
which the details of tho original will be
followed with chromo-liko precision.
Success to live art as exemplified in
classic Ruffalo!
Dr. Louis Robinson, who has studied
facial expression, tells us that tho com
pressed Hp does not Indicate strength
of character, but a hnblt of struggling
ngalnst temptation. This Is undoubt
edly correct In nlmost every case, ex
cept, perhaps, that of the amateur cor
net player. "While his Hps are com
pressed It Is usually the listener, who
struggles ngalnst temptation.

Representative Enlman, of the
Rerks-Lehigh congressional district,
Kays he "favors the gold standard until
bimetallism is established by Interna
tional regulations." Rut la he In favor
of using the government's Inlluince to
hinder rather than hasten tho estab
lishment of international bimetallism?
This is one of the vital points at issue.
Tho story that President Cleveland
has been sufficiently moved by a sense
of gratitude to make overtures to ex
Secretary "Whitney fur a reconciliation
is Important it true. Whitney us the
Democratic candidate for president
next year would give the Republicans
a serious fight.
The Troy, N. T., Times pronounces
Pennsylvania's new compulsory edu
cation law 'Mho most radical which has
yet been framed." The Times is prob
ably speaking from Inaccurate hearsay,
Tho present compulsory law In this
state is too mild, If anything.
WISE AM) OTHERWISE.
Tho recent war of words between Gov
ernor O'Kerrnll, of Virginia, and Governor
MucC'orkle, of West Virginia, has, says
the Washington correspondent of tho Pitts
burg Dispatch, brought to light a good
story regarding tho latter gentleman nnd
ex-Uovernor Rob Taylor, of Tennessee.
Governor MacCorkle was lighting his ter
ritlc campaign for tho governorship of his
slate and Taylor was assisting him. One
day after two tremendous meetings In
Marion county the two went to their hotel
and, retiring about 2 o'clock to the same
bed, engaged In conversation. Governor
MacCorkle referred to Taylor's famous
lecture on "Tho Piddle and tho Row," and
remarked that he would go a hundred
miles to hear It. "Turn on tho gas," snld
Taylor, "and pull down the cover." Tho
gas was turned on nnd with two pillows for
a stand he proceeded to glvo the lecture.
A number of people, hearing the sound of
his voice, went quietly to tho hall nnd,
opening the door of tho room, saw a re
markablo sight. Stretched on the bed was
tho big brawny form of tho West Virgin
Ian, while on his knees beside him was the
Tennesseean, with arms and hands In ges
ticulation, with his eyes flashing anil bent
Intently upon tho eyes of tho West Vir
ginian; with his magnificent voice In play
with all the fervor which ho would have
had had ho been addressing a thousand
people. When It was over MacCorkle re
marked: "That's a mighty flno lecture,
but sing that song again." Tho quietly
assembled nudlence at the door and on the
outside heard the magnificent voice of
Taylor ns ho sang to his companion the
beautiful song "Of the Olden Uuys." "When
tho song was finished the peeping crowd
saw tho two men, who but a few hours
before had been engaged upon tho fiercest
political fray upon tho stump, turn over
upon tho bed nnd lay down to sleep like
children.
TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT:

Who does not know Tody Hamilton, of
Rarnum's? If there is such a man, let
Charles Theodoro Murray, who Is traveling
with Tody, on purpose to capture the
pearls of philosophy which drop Incess
nntly from his lips, perform the Introduc
tion, by narrating some of Tody's charac
teristic observations: "Whenever you see
newspnper ofiiees grouped together In a
town, they are prosperous; nnd when they
arrYonnd scattered all over town they are
usually creeping along In hard luck. When
1 tttrlko tho first newspnper ofllco In a new
town and find tho business department on
the ground floor, tho rcBt of tho olllees
will lie found on tho ground floor; ami If I
havo to climb stairs tho first thing, then I
know I'll havo climb stairs all tho way
through. Tho man with a beard Is usually

Oh! the 'gentlo grass Is growing In the
valo and on tho hill;
We cannot hear It growing, still 'tis grow
ing very still;
And In the spring It springs to life with
gladness and delight;
I see It growing day by day It also grows
by night.
And now once moro ns mowers whisk the
whiskers from tho lawn,
They'll rouso us from our slumbers at tho
dawning of the dawn.
It saddens my poor heart to think what we
should do for hay.
If grass Instead of growing up should grow
the other way.
Its present rate of growing makes it safe
to say ;nat soor ,
'Twill cover alt tho hills at morn and In tho
afternoon;
"Twill carpot plain and meadow, common,
park and dalo and lea,
In fact 'twill cpver all tholund not covered
by tho sea.
If It keeps growing right along It shortly
will bo tall,
It humps Jtself through strikes and legal
holidays and all.
'TIs growing up down all the streets and
clear around the square;
One end Is growing In the ground, the othor
In ttio air.
I earth possessed no grass, methlnks its
beauty would bo dead;
We'd have to make the best of It and uso
baled hay Instead,
I lovo to sing its praises In a way none can
surpass,
And poets everywhere are warnod to
"Pleuso keep on tho grass!"

Major flonornl Miles doesn't piny nor ap
prove of poker, tint he once snw a memor
able gnmo and, soldier-like, loves to spin
his yarn about It. "It was," said he as ho
lately told the circumstances to a party
comprising Colonel Tom Ochiltree, llenrl
Watterson and several other noted South
ernors, "It wns In tho spring of 1805 Just
thirty years ngo this week, when I come to
think of it when Davis, Leo, and the rest
of you Confederates, Colonel Watterson,
wero In full retreat from Richmond toward
Dniivlllo and wo wero pressing you night
nnd duy, hardly stopping to cnt or sleep.
On tho eve of tho battlo of Sailor's Creek
" "I was there," snid Colonel Oehll
tree. "It wns In thnt battlo that I was
wounded." "That day," continued Oen-
ernl Miles, "wo overhauled and captured a
Confederate wagon train, and found
greatly to tho delight of tho boys, that
several of tho wagons wero loaded with
Confederate bonds and counterfeit bonds,
nnd Confederate money In transit from tho
Confeilernto treasury department In Rich
mnnd to wherever flic government, now on
wheels, might mnko Its Inst stand. Tho
soldiers simply helped themselves to tho
bonds nnd the money, nnd the officers did
not enrt to deprive them of tho spoils to
which they were rlrhly entitled. At night
we knocked off work for supper nnd n fuw
hours of rest and sleep. I had occasion to
rldo along tho lino nnd found, greatly to
my amusement, a poker gaino going on
around almost every camp fire. Stopping
fo wnteh one of tho games this Is what I
heard: 'Ilow'mueh Is the onto?' 'A thous
nnd dollars.' 'And how much to 1111?"
'Klvo thousnnd.' 'Well, hero goes. I
rnlso It ten thousand.' 'Good; I see you
nnd go you ten thousand better. Twenty,
livo thousand to draw enrds!' Then cards
were drawn nnd presently a bet was made
of fifty thousand. Some ono went a hun
dred thousnnd dollars better, but wns
ruled down. Fifty thousand was tho limit,
However, there wns five hundred thousand
dollars In tho pot when It was hauled down
by tho winner, who had three treys and a
pair of Jacks. I expressed my surprise nt
the size of the game, and told the boys thnt
they had better go slow or their funds
would run. out. 'Never fear, general,' re
plied one of them. 'Wo will keep within
our means. You ought to hnve been here
Just now. Why, we had a Jack-pot of $1,
"(Hi. 000.' I think you will agree with mo,
continued General Miles, "that no bigger
poker game than that was ever played, and
for my part I nm sure thnt Confederate
money never served a better purpose than
to amuse those Union soldiers In thnt rest
lug hour In that most wearing of brief
campaigns."
SMALL ROY'S SPRING POEM:

Don't even-play baseball.

'N' when you're hot go swlnnln',
Y'u can't do that In spring.
N' winter, too, Is pretty fair;
Y'u c'n slide, 'n' coast, 'n' skate,
'N' paste a man 'Ith snowballs;
I say, tho winter's great!
