trouble Is and what it p ort-.jiJs. It be
lieves that it has now gat at the bottom
of It; and It is due to our re.iJi.rs that
they should share our information.
Six months aso th Id publican party
in Pennsylvania was a happy family
perhaps the happiest in the sisterhood
of states. Troub'.a ti:st apysared when
Senator Quay, against the advice of
tr.auy good frLiv'.s, tried to nj.iiinate

It was believed could not have been

tion of hili refused to nominate t-ena.
tor Penrose; and Mr. Quay, in his anxer.
vowed vengeance. The second symptom
of mischief appeared when, after bav
ins; personally commended Governor
Hastings in his inaugural demand re
apportionment, the Junior senator from
this state.wlthout a word of warninyand
In plain disregard both of the state con
stitution and of the proprieties of his
official position, personally ti-uk part,
at Ilarrisburg, in a war against reap
portionment, carrying his point only by
an unholy alliance with the Democratic
minority. A third stage was reached
when, again without provocation, ho
announced himself as a candidate for
chairman jf th? coming state conven
tion, ard also of the state committee,
aiming specially at Chairman Gillie
son, whose selection last fall he had
personally recommended.
Several reasons explain why Gover
nor Hastings has felt compelled, in de
fense of his own administration, and In
preservation of his official dignity and
personal self-respect, to try to put a
limit to the capricious dictation and un
provoked assaults of Senator Quay.
One is that he was -elected by the peo
ple to be their governor, and not Sena
tor Qus clerk. Another is that, having
gone to the proper limit In hl3 attempt
to avert a fight; having permitted Mr.
Quay, In deference to his past cervices
to th party, to control by far the larger
share of the Mate Appointments, and
having conceded all that a man of prin
ciple might concede without forfeiting
his own manhood, he now feels it due
to the people hy whose suffrage hp Is
governor that thy should know his
position In the matter and, at the com
ing state convention. Issue further In
structions. Bo much for the st-at nrpects of the
fiEht. A word, now, about Its loal sig
nificance. P-efore this difficulty arose,
the people of Lackawanna ' county
asked Governor Hastings to name Ed
ward N. Willard tia one of the Judges of
the Superior court. They presented
their indorsements and left thi Issue In
the governor's handri. Ho appointed
Mr. Willard absolutely without condi
tions'. Not a syllable was said about
delegates. . No pledgo was exacted
and no promises were given. But when
it Is known to Judge Wlllard's friends
that Senator Quay, after having writ
ten to at least two men In this city that
he would recommend Mr. Wllllard's Ap
pointment, personally warned Gover
nor Hastings that he would regard Mr.
Wlllard's selection as "peronal Insult,"
In View of the course that -Mr. Willard
had pursued as National delegate at
the Minneapolis convention; and when
they also learn -that Senator Quay, In
the event of Ills victory Aug. 28, has
threatened to defeat Mr. Willard In the
convention, and Is now credited with
sending Cameron money Into this
county for the purpose of preventing
the selection of Willard delegates,; we
believe that they willvery properly re
tent this high-handed) policy, and serve
notice on Matthew S.'iQuay and on ills
local champion, Joseph A. Scranton,
that however much they may admire
Mr. Quay's ability as a politician, they
cannot support him In this fight.
The issue, then, is not, as has been
falsely stated, one of Hastings against
Quay. In an attempt to break down
Cuay's leadership within ths limits of
reason and decency: It is whether Sena
tor Quay is to constitute the whole Re
publican party; whether.j In brief, he
Is to be our legislature, governor and
Judiciary, rolled In one, with everybody
else reduced to the dimensions of pup
pets end creatures. The raising of this
Issue presents Senator Quay In a new
light to us; robs him of the admiration
which we have heretofore confessed for
his skill as a political general; and puts
before the Intelligent manhood of Lack
awanna county and of the state at
large, regardless of past preferences,
the unavoidable duty of relegating him
to I1I3 proper place and rank.
A l.ful 5tamlcr.
"The story comes from Scrnnton with
th? bJld pivsltlvenesa that inspires be
lief." pays the Lebanon lteport. " that
l-'d ward Newell Willard was appointed
to a sea.t oil the Superior court with the
distinct understanding that he should
tvcuiv Governor Hastings local sup
port in his tight with Quay. If that Is
the i-asv his Rppoin:iiH-nt Is mi Insult to
the bench and a disgrace to the com
monwealth." Tii.i t I n. t t!u case. That Is Elmjily
one in Jiveph A. Seranton's falsehoods.
T'ae l.e'iarcn lteport will find It u good
rule, wiim dealing politically wltli the
d'.sfiir.luator of this slander, to tako
what he i'.aa to say with several big
grains oi salt.

The weather forecast for July given
by Professor C. Coles, the well known
astronomer, of Kingston, appears In
aiii-ther column today. A history of
the storms for June would tally with
predictions given by Professor Coles
tuarly ajnonth In udvance of their oc
currence. His forecast f ir tlu mouth,
therefore, will doubtless be regarded
with additional Interest by farmers,
gardeners and other readers of The
Tribune, whose business may be artoet-
ed by the elements.
'
X t counting the votes or Chester,
Montgomery, Schuylkill, Lackawanna
and Luzerne. It Is figured that Gover
ncr Hastlregs will have the support of
HO delegates In the next slate conven
tion. In hl-s tight for Independence from
the dictation of Senator Quay. If this
be true, Quay will loae by at least
fifte-n vous.
-
There cannot be two opinions as to
tile duty of Lackawanna Republicans
In reference to the nex1: state conven
tion. Mr. Willard, as their candidate,
should i.'et only receive the solid vote
4' the I.ackawat.:;a delegation, but
should also oe gran'ti'd the courtesy of
controlling that delegation in the Inter
est of his friends.
The fate of Chairman Gill:e.?on Is of
minor coustiiuouce compared with the
ijuestion whether Senator Qauy Bhall be
permitted to foreclose a mortgage on
Pennsylvania manhood.

POLITICAL ftOiW.
7t is getting, to bo very generally under
stood, as the Harrlsbmg correspondent of
th Philadelphia Press points out, that
Bnator juny is himself responsible for
whatever factional disturbance the party
Is likely to be subject to In the near future.
Governor Hastings has not had In the
past, nor has he now, any light to moks
oi Br mi tor Quay. There are not many
who b'lieve that Mr. Quay would be so
generous If he had the appointments to
make. From the outset Senator Quay ap
pears to have bnrt th Idea that he ought
to put himself In antagonism to the ad
ministration. This feeling has been mani
fested In more wnys than the goneral pub
lic is nware of. T!; senator hns ssld
things and written thlnfrs to h!s friends In
different parts of the state which unmls
tukably Indicated a purpose to discredit
and weaken the state administration. The
opposition to reapportionment of the con
gressional, senatorial and legislative dis
tricts of the state, as commanded by the
constitution, was a mere Incident, though
an Importnnt one. Senator Quay has still
more directly manlfesfcd his opposition to
the state odmliristrHtlon by his attitude
toward Chairman Gllkeson, of the Itepub
llean ntfito committee. No sooner hnd
Chairman Gllkeson become a member of
Governor Hastings' official family than It
was determined by Senator Quay and
those ii bout him to mnko war upon him.
There wos no reason for this save that
Mr. 'Gllkeson was a member of the ad
minlstrntlon. He had alwnys been a fol
lower of Mr, Ouay, and so far as anybody
knows, was likely to continue a friend of
the senator. But it wss determined, If pos
sible, to depose him from the chairman
ship. Several months ego this was fully
understood. This Bc.hr mo seems to have
been devised by ex-Chairman Andrews,
and Andrews himself was first talked of
for tho succession, When It becamo evi
dent that Andrews would not do, others
were discussed until It became plain to
Mr. Quay thn he could not hope to defeat
Chairman Gllkeson with any of thorn, and
ho announced himself as a candidate. The
fact that Mr. Quay has taken the Held In
person lias not changed the situation so
fur as tlm administration people are con
cerned. They are contending for the integ
rity of the Republican organisation, Gov
ernor HaMimgs Is making no war upon
anybody, as lie hns repeatodly said, but he
has been forced to act in simple self-respect.
I! II II
"It Is now for the party to decide," per
tinently observes the Philadelphia Bulle
tin, "whether Governor Hastings shall be
free to direct his own administration or
whether It shall be subjected to the super
vision of Senator Quay. The governor's
action In Joining thin Issue, far from being
undignified or Improper, has .been dic
tated by the most ordinary consideration
of salt-respect, and will commend Itself to
all Republicans who wish to sea the gov
ernor of tfenhsylvania untrammeled In the
performance of his duty and tho control
of the party placed on a broad and liberal
basis, and not solely on the around of
obedience to tienator Quay. Governor
Hastings Is one of the moat loyal and
steadfast Republicans, and the laat man to
Invito contention in the spirit of factional
mischief. The great majority by which ho
was elected and the general confidence in
which he Is held by the people give him
warrant for be.av.ng that the party w il
decide that Its organ sat ion shall not be
used to bcflle h.s purposes or to nieke him
secondary to the Junior senator. That Is
the motive of his art on in aak'ng the Au
gust convent '.on to give him a vote of con
fidence; it doea not Spring from personal
resentment to Mr, Quay or from selfish
ambition, and It alma to open the doors of
the parly oraanlsatlon wide to every self
respecting Republican who claims a fee
simple in the ownership of himself."
II II II
Notwithstanding his frisndllnei: , for
Snutor Cameron, because of the concur
rence of their economlo views, Wharton
Baker it still ptonouncd in his opposi
tion to Senator Quay. In lust Saturday's
American, after reviewing at length th?
geuesla of the present state fight he tersely
adds: "There Is but ooa course open to
self-respeotlng men who believe In Re
publican principles, decent politics, manly
political methods, honest government and
faithful compliance with the public will.
Mr. Quay hua needlessly Invited a new
demonstration of public sentiment and
the response; should be overwhelming.
Pennsylvania In the coming national con
test should play a moat conspicuous and
decisive part. For once dt should not be the
plaything of mercenary political traders.
The luterests of this great atate de
mand that ijuaylsm shall be repudiated
and that Republicanism shall be tri
umphantly asserted. The buttle has teen
prei IpMated, and whither It Is concluded
this yeur or not It must be fought to the
end."
II II II
According to a prominent Pittsburg poli
tician, Interviewed by the Chronicle-Telegraph,
"Senator Quay brought all the pres
t nt trouble on himself, and when ha Is de
feated he will have no one to blame but
himself. Clovernor Hustings, C, L, Mugee,
lavid Martin ami, In fact, all the leaders
over tho state, did not want any trouble,
but the old mun Is nlie-wlug his age. He
Imagines that he is the master, uud ull
men should bow to his whims. He became
so dictatorial that It was a case of flslit or
become his abject slave." Naturally, any
honest mun would choose to tight,

When Senator Watres was a candidate
for the nomination of lieutenant governor,
ho was permitted to select his own dele
gates from 1-uckuwanna county and, as
u matter of course, given the power to

IUlow will be found weather predictions
for July, forwarded by Professor C. Coles,
tho Kingston astronomer:
From tho lsit to the ltith look for sudden
and perhaps dangerous disturbances;
among t lie in & cold wave followed by in
tense, extreme heat, thunder showers,
hall, wind gules, cloudbursts, etc. The re
actionary storms will follow by the loin.
From the llth to the close of the mon.h,
thu southern and western states especially
will meet with great loss of life and prop
erty by cyclones, cloudbursts, floods, etc.
Numerous sun spots made their appear
ance on the sun about the middle of June,
and seem to be Increasing In numbers.
These "sun spots" will bring about sud
den und peculiar disturbances, Insomuch
that no section of the country will be free
from their disturbing forces und many un
happy surprises may come to us all.
If the sun spots increase In number be
fore tho 15th, severe ruin storms, resulting
in Hoods, will be the result; if they de
crease In numbers a drouth will follow.
The unusual low ebb of vegetable vitality
this month foretells the coming of some
unusual freak of nature. The greate.it
storms may be looked for, I think, about
the middle and last of the month. The
electrical disturbances will be severe
enough In some parts of the country
to produce earthquake shocks. The epi
demic of bad feeling will extend through
out the whole month, resulting In numer
ous disputes, quarrels, murders and sui
cides. I do net date to predict frost or
sr.ow this month, yet allow me to predict
thut In some states the farmers will feel
very much like taking their gardens la
out of the cold. Sun spots will be ex
plained In some future Issue of this paper.
BIC1N3.
Venus will be In the sign Leo on the 7th
Mars will be In the sign Cancer on the
14th.
Jupiter will be in the sign Gemini on the
21st.
Saturn will be In the sign Virgo on tho
:8th.
Therefore the vital forces of all vege
tablo life will be at their highest flool on
the 3, 4. 13, 14, 18. 19, 21, 23. SH, , 30 and 31st.
And at their lowest ebb on the 1, 2, 6, , 7,
, , 1U, 11. 12, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21. 21, 25, 25 and 27.
Tho low ebb figures being so much In
the muj'orlty this month, forecasts some
approaching danger perhaps a vegetable
epidemic, a drouRht and forewarns tig
that the utmost care must be taken In
nursing and cultivating all kinds of vege
tables this month or the harvest may
prove a failure; In fact, tho whole success
of this fall's harvest will greatly depend
upon this month's cultivation. The bst
time to kill weeds, briars, thistles, etc.,
this month, will be on the 24, 25, 26 and 27.
The Sd and 4th are two good days for
buckwheat or radishes, parsnips, beets,
root vegetables and cucumbers; Saturday,
the 13th, an excellent time to plant late
potatoes, field beans, etc.
The 18th and lth will be two fruitful
flays and any kind of seed planted or
vegetables transplanted will give good re
sults. The 22J and 23d will be two of the best
flays of the whole month for any kind of
vegetables that bear fruit above ground.
The 28th and 29th will b the best time
to sow turnip seed or transplant celery.
The 30th and 81st will be good days for
planting any seasonable vegetables, us
they rank second best In this month's fore
cast. In Answer to numerous inquiries, allow
me to say, that, why these certain change
and conditions differ each and every
month Is on account of the constantly
changing planetary Influence upon the
earth and moon. To tell Just why would
require more space for exhaustive explana
tion than the papers can afford to devote
to the subject at present.
