The total number of delegates will he 2SD,
of which the above counties will supply 34.
The tariff will be on Issue In American
politics Jnst so long as Democratic In.
capacity attempts to monkey with It.
Sound rioney Well Defined.
It l not probable that anybody bin
an extremist will seriously object to
the plank adopted on Tuesday by the
Republicans of Clearfield county In re
lation to th? money question. First,
U favors "honest money, gold, silver
end paper. Interchangeable and on a
parity of value, each dollar as good s
any and every other dollar." Sec
ondly, it favors "bimetallism based on
an international afrreerunt." or If that
cannot bs effected, then "coinage of
silver to limited by the ability of
the government to maintain the equal
ly In valu of the gold and silver dol
lars, and the safety and honor of the
nation." With the exception of th? last
clause, which ought to be superfluous
in the platform of a party which has
never threatened, but always defended,
the "safety and honor of the ration, "
thlsdellverancestrlkes probably as close
as words may to the prevalent senti
ment of the conservative masses of the
people, Democrats as well as Republi
cans. We regard this declaration of policy
as distinctly different, from the policy
advocated by Orover Cleveland. It Is
an aggressive where his Is a negative
and lukewarm espousal of International
bimetallism. It does not throw cold
water on the friends of silver, as does
J. Sterling Morton, Mr. Cleveland's
secretary of agriculture, ths Philadel
phia Record and most free traders par
tial ito British Interests, by declaring
international bimetallism an "irides
cent dream" and silver coinage a relic
of superstition. Tt Is exactly the re
verse of the dishonest Carlisle plan of
gold monometallism patched out by ir
responsible state bank paper issues.
It declares first for action among the
nations. If possible; but If not possible,
then for courageous and resolute ac
tion by the American people, In the be
half of American interests and Ameri
can productive energies. There is
room for discussion as to the location
of th safe limit of silver coinage by
this country alone; but It can be taken
for granted that that limit will not be
located at ithe present zero point, un
der which values are rising while prices
J In the long run are steadily falling, to
the Inevitable discouragement, not to
ay spoliation, of the American pro
ducer. -.. ' i
Upon a former occasion we outlined
an "American" solution of the Bllver
question; namely, the coinage, ai a safe
raiMo, on a parity with gold, of such of
the protected product of our American
Bllver mines- as would not be used In
thi arts, the whole reinforced by a
Sfheme of tariff favors to countries
willing to Join the United States In an
international bimetallic agreement.
This plan fits In admirably with the
eoond part of the plank Just quoted.
It is literally an American solution of
the silver question, solving at once the
problem of a safe and flexible currency,
retaining our present supply of gold
without danger to our credlt,abroad,
offering prospects of great develop
ment to the southern ; and western
states and 'finally putting the United
States In direct line for complete and
unrestricted bimetallism when possi
ble under an international agreement.
The Troy, N. Y Times on Tuesday
was forty-four years old; and is today
'edited by the same sturdy and far
sighted man, Hon. James M. Francis,
'who more then two-score years ago
penned Its stirring salutatory. . The
many years of " its existence have
brought wealth and honors in abun
dance to its senior proprietor; bu.t -we
have an idea that the success of the
paper Its-elf, along the lofty lines . he
marked out for It. 1 the one triumph
o' his HN'trloii" rnreer which gives
bin protest sntlsf icilon It Is cer
tainty a case of success con-Istently
and persistently deserved.
What Is It All About ?
After the first flush of excitement
shall have subsided among those who
are Just now deeply agitated at the
political sltuatloh In 'Pennsylvania,
there will probably be a pretty general
opinion among the conservative masses
of the Republican party, especially
among the men with no personal . or
factional axes to grind, that the pros
pent of a permanent factional breach,
coupled with the likelihood of the
speedy disruption of lust fall's miiKiilfl
cent majority, Is a dear price to pay
for the temporary "fun" expected when
giants battle. This reaction is even
now in evidence among the sober and
sensible rank and file; and it is likely
to grow with each new mouthing ot tlie
loquacious whlppers-ln who do, and
more frequently overdo, the bidding1 of
their angered chiefs.
What Is the Issue now ut stake that
the rock-ribbed Republicanism of Penn
sylvania should be rlwn asunder und
the harmonious conditions of the past
Jubilee year scattered In a day to the
four winds of heaven'.' Whose la tlie
grievance whose airing must entail
these dire consequences? Whence in the
danger that renders thu parly suscep
tible to this needless Injury from
among Ks own membership? If the
mass of voters must, of a sudden, split
into ferocious rival factions, It seems
to us that they ought to be honored
with at least the semblance of Borne
reason for this breaklng-up. Has such
a reason yet been advanced? If It has,
It hus escaped our observation.
We are ready to light to the last ditch
and. If need be, tumble In for a clearly
defined und wholesome principle. "We
have no quarrel with Senator Quay,
and certainly none with the governor to
whom we have very lately given ou
best support. But with due respect to
both these worthy Kepubllcuns,' w$
want to know what the quarrel is about
before being expected to draw the fac
tional knife and roll up the sleeve for
fratricidal butchery. Our opinion la
that there will soon be a marked re
vulsion among the people from the
present chlp-on-the-ahoulder and
blood-ln-the-eye Jautitiness of the fac
tional chevaliers; and that even yet
there may be peace without dishonor,
or at least a truce until a more aus
picious season.
Turn the Hose on Him.
The action of the Jury yesterday In
the case of the commonwealth ngalnut
Michael Couch, hotel-keeper of Jermyn
borough, charged by . Constable James
Hosle with selling liquor on Sunday
Ought to have a wholesome effect In
discouraging the widely prevalent
blackmailing habits In vogue anions
constables in this and nearby counties.
The facts of this case are Instructive In
the light which they shed on the meth
ods of the averag? constable.
liy representing that his wife was ill.
one John Walsh succeeded in Inducing
Couch- to Sell to him liquor on Sun
day. Walsh next conveyed Informa
tion of this violation of the law to llo
sle, the constable, who, It appeurs from
Walsh's testimony, originated the
scheme; and Hosle then proceeded to
threaten Couch with arrest, offering',
however, to hush the matter up for u.
consideration. Refusal to comply with
this stand-and-dellver demand wjlh
followed by the predicted arrest; but
the Jury In the case properly regarded
Hosle as ithe real culprit and achieved
Justice so far as Jt could by acquitting
Couch and placing the costs on the con
stable. The matter, however, ought not to
rest here. If Hosle Is the kind of man
to try to levy blackmail in one case,
he will probably try to levy it In other
cases, and Is therefore unlit to act fur
ther In an official capacity In the name
of the luw. The needed reformation
In 'the constubulary of Lackawanna,
could not be Inaugurated to better ad
vantage than by turning the hose on
Hosle and putting on full pressure.
The Outlook Brightening.
It Is evident from the tone of the
western press that there has been a con
servative reaction from the nervous po
litical tension prevalent In that section
a few months ago-. There Is today less
talk among western Republicans than
ot any past time of bolting the party
nomination next year. In order to em
bark upoti an' independent crusade In
behalf of sliver. The west has not lost
faith in bimetallism, but it Is beginning
to comprehend that It can make faster
progress by a temperate campaign of
education within the party lines' than
by the revolutionary process of new
party action.
Perhaps we cannot better Illustrate
our point than to quote from a strong
editorial In the San Francisco Call,
which after a comprehensive analysis
of the Integral defects-of the 'Demo
cratic party, adds:-, "It requires no ape
qlal -prescience to forecast a few 'vf th?
great Issues of the- -coming campaign.
The financial question; the laying of a.
cable to the Hawaiian Islands with na
tional aid; the adoption of a compre
hensive plan for the Irrigation and set
tlement of arid lands; the adjustment
of the tariff upon, such a fuir and equit
able basis as to remove the Issue from
our politics and set It at -rest for years
these are some of the great issues of
the next election oC which the public in
terest and necessity require a solution.
The attitude of -the Republican party
toward these great Issues is being anx
iously awaited by the people of the
country at large. It Is historically and
"sentlally the party of p-ogress, the
parly of !.! ral v!w( of fe floral power
ind duty where the pr-i' .i--rUy of any
portion of the Republic requires the
exercise of national energy. It has
from Its very creation been the party of
bimetallism, of honest money, and of
enough of it for the requirements of
trade; It has been and U the party of
protection in Its broad and liberal sense;
It Is and has always been the party
which fostered ideas and projects for
internal improvement. It bus also con
stantly adhered to the policy of Increas
ing the power and Influence of the na
tion abroad. What Ihe Republican
party has been In the past it Is today
and will continue to be. It follows that
upon the enumerated Issues of the com
ing campaign It will take a stand which
shull be entirely consistent with Its
past policy as the party of honesty in
finance, of protection in tariff regula
tion, of progrcss und prosperity In every
Internal Industry and section, and of
broad ideas ot national influence
abroad."
This is obviously a fair and Just pre
sentation of the case, and notable in
that it conies from a source decidedly
favorable to a rehabilitation of silver
and consequently utterly out of sym
pathy with the pernicious policy of gold
monometallism which Mr. Cleveland
and his free trade associates aw up
holding In the east ns the oniy genuine
cause of "honest money." We are In
clined to believe that If the extremists
of the east, the "gold bugs" and the
money traders, can be curbed at the
next Republican national convention,
the "silver barons" will also be put
aside and the way cleared for a frank
und equitable compromise.
' Thousands In this vicinity watched
Hie approach of the -moon to the bril
liant star Venus, Tue.-'day evening, as
predicted by Professor C, Coles, but
were doomed to disappointment. At 7
o'clock the moon was within a few de
grees of the bright star, steadily ap
proaching It at a speed ot nearly one
und a half degrees every two hours
and, between l'i and 1 I'clock Venus
hung like a huge diamond from the
south point of the beautiful crescent.
The beautiful star and moon had, how
ever, passed beyond the western hills
before they embraced each other
Only those living In central time were
permitted to see the real conjunction
The killing of Mrs. John Moran, at
Mlnooka, yesterday evening, by a car
of the Scranton Traction company,
was probably due to Mrs. Moran's own
carelessness; but If that car had been
provided with a decent safety fender,
us It should have been months ago, the
chances are about eight to one that the
killing would not have occurred. Let
us have those fenders, gentlemen, as
fast as you can get them.
The uniform and continuous shrivel
ling of the Silver Third party move
ment shows that the great American
public is still satisfied to do business
under the cheering sign of the "G,
O. P."
The Luzerne contingent has one sat
isfaction. It went down with colors
flying and every man loyal. There
were no ussasslna In the Rice support,
trying to utab him in the back.
There Is a point to the Wllkes-Barre
Record's advice to Mr. Scranton, re
cup ed elsewhere on this page, that Is
visible without, the aid of a magnify
ing glass.
The Scrantoidan who do.es not find It
convenient to go away for the summer
will have the consolation of remaining
in the finest summer resort in America.
These are days when the niggardli
ness of last year's councils In falling to
make a decent appropriation for Nay
Aug park Is painfully In evidence.
With (lovernor Hastings in the chair
of the state convention there will be
llttio likelihood of an attempt not to en
dorse bis administration.
Street curs without fenders are pub
lic crimes.
POLITICAL COSSIP.
The Philadelphia Kvenlng Bulletin
thinks thut Quay Is right when he culls
this "the tight ot his life." It says: "For
the first time In his career he Is obliged to
face a hostile combination when he Is al
most absolutely cut off from the patronage
of office ut Washington, at Hurrlsubrg
und In the chief ctlles of the state. He hag
ulready been deserted by several of his
jnoBfl active lieutenants, and the leaders of
the new combination are most powerful In
those parts of the state which have us
ually been his strongholds-In the con
trol of state conventions. Both from the
popular standpoint and the standpoint of
practical politics the combination which
Governor Hastings leads Is a powerful"bno.
It represents not only the growing ten
dency to protest ugulnst the one-man
power In the direction of the party organ
ization and the demand for a recognition
of the true financial doctrines of the party,
but It hus behind It, In addition to this sen
timent, the skill of some of the most ex
perienced polltloluns In the state. It Is no
excursion In sentimental or umuteur poll
ties such as hus so often been made
against Quay In vain, but an aggressive,
well-organlfed movement for the over
throw of Quay, horse, foot and drugoons,
and ultimately for the nomination of Hast
ings us Pennsylvania's candidate for pres
ident." The Bulletin probably does the
governor an injustice when It Intimates
thut his light ugalnst Quay ! solely for
the purpose of being a candidate for pres
ident. ' , . ,-
II II II - .
'it Is beginning to dawn upon the peo
ple of this part of the state," says the
Wllkes-Barro Record, "that Mr. Bcran-
ton'a abuse of Uovernor Hastings does
not spring from disinterested motives. If
tome of the patronage which he accuses
the governor of peddling had fallen into
Uncle Joe's lap he might not be quite so
free with his criticism. If the Republican
editor would take some of the advice he so
freely bestows upon the governor It might
do the Republican party In Lackawanna
county some good. If, Instead of calling
upon Hastings to act as a peacemaker, ha
did a little peacemaking himself, he would
be more consistent. Mr. Scranton can
hardly expect tha governor to take such
advice from a man who is himself indus
triously sowing dissension among the
Lackawanna Republicans."
II II II -
According to the Philadelphia Times,
when Berator Quay returns to that city
from Harrlsburg he will take active steps
to open up his canvass for the supremacy
of his faction, It is understood to be the
purpose of Senator Quay and his followers
to make Philadelphia the basis of opera
tions In the prosecution of a lively and ag
gressive campaign. An organisation in
behalf of the Junior senator will be formed.
It will consist of his friends representing
every county In the state, with headquar
ters In that city, and the campaign work
will be well begun and In active progreM
before July 1.
II II II
The money plunk of the Clearfield county
Republican convention Tuesday was as
followi: "We fuvor honest money, gold,
sliver und puper Interchungeuble, and on
a parity of value, each dollar as good as
any and every other dollar. We also favor
blmetulllHin, bused on International agree
ment, If such agreement cun be effected,
ami If not, then coinage of silver to be
limited by the ability ot the government
to maintain an equality of value In gold
and sliver dollurs, and the safety and
honor of the nation,"
Clearfield hus Instructed for Gllkeson,
II II II .
The Philadelphia Inquirer, which pre
sumably speuks for Henutor Quay, an
nounces that the hitter will make no fight
against Governor Hastings; but It con
tends that the senator's friends will name
the candidate for state treasurer and the
six candidates for the new Superior court.
Then, if exigencies of the occasion war
run t it, the rules of the party will be
changed so as to permit of the election of
the stute chairman by delegates In the
convention. This, of, course, means tho
election of Senator Quay.
II II' II'
Lieutenant Uovernor Lyon thinks thtre
can be but one result from the present
tight, and thut result will be a victory for
Quay. "Why would the people want to
turn Quay down?" said he. "He has al
ways stood up for Pennsylvania and her
Industries. Had It not been for Quay
there would be few mills In operation In
this state today. It was he who is respon
sible fur forcing the McKlnley bill through
the seiiute. The people will see that he
gets what he wunts."
Senator Quay hus 'a very vigorous ally
In "Pop" Merrick, the champion para
grapher of the Washington Post. This
Is one of Merrick's hot thoughts: "By
turning his buck on Quay Uovernor Hast
ings will simply Indicate thut he Is willing
to muke a mut'tyr of himself to the cause
of political vivisection." The probabili
ties are that 'before Uovernor Hastings
"turns his buck" he will consider the con
sequences and be prepared for them.
Senator Becker, of Philadelphia, claims
that the Beaver statesman "will have a
good muny more delegates from Philadel
phia than are granted him now. There
are muny prominent Republicans In that
city who are now classed with Dave Mar
tin and who were with him so long as
there was no straight-out personal fight
ugalnst Quuy. These men will now drop
Martin and line up with the 'old man.' We
Quuy people ure not scared. We are going
to win."
II II II
A f'hntnbersburg dispatch says: "It Is
nearly certain that the three Franklin
county delegutes to the state convention
will be with Quay In the Quay-HastUigs
light. The friends of Judge John Stewart
contemplate presenting his name for nom
liiutlon to the Superior bench by the con
vention." II II II
It Is now said thut Senator Quay, If suc
cessful In his present chairmanship battle,
will use his success as a stepping stone for
the next nutlorTal chairmanship. The sen
ator himself Intimates that he will not
cross thut bridge until he reaches It.
It Is announced that Fighting Jack Rob
inson will soon swing round the circle of
the rural counties in behalf of Senator
Quay. Chairman Ollkeson has not yet
answered Mr. Robinson's inquiries touch
ing his management of the finances of last
fall's campaign.
Ex-Assemblymuil A. 'j. Colborn, father
of "Our Jack" Colborn, has been unani
mously nominated by Somerset county Re
publicans for district attorney. Two Quay
delegates were chosen to the state con veil,
tlon.
II II
"Another 'fight of his life' appears to ba
just ahead or Senator Quay." says the
Syracuse Post. "No sooner does he get
out of one vital struggle than another
seems just beyond It."
II II II
The Hon. Samuel Losch has decided, It is
said, to trust his future with the state ad
ministration. He will lead the anti-Quay
fight in Schuylkill.
T II H II
Ueorge S. Lenhart will measure rwords
