Scranton and Wlllard.
Is kind In the Scranton Republican,
hlch a few days ago was exploiting
Judge WUIard's alleged "mercurial
1 temperament" and otherwise revealing
tt previously masked treachery to Mr.
.' Wlilard, now to declare that "there Is
no division among Lackawanna Repub-
Itcsns AS to an earnest surDort of Jludtre
Wlllard for nomination at the corning
convention." But everybody knows by
this . 1 me how much depend2nce Is to
lie placed in the word of Joseph A.
Scranton. The Republican editor is
probably loyal to Mr. Wlllard at this
time through necessity; he would
doubtless be quick to use the assassin's
knife if he could safely do so In fur
therance of his own ends.
The editor of the Republican Is
. pleased to call The Tribune a number
. of pleasant names, for which cumpll
mente It makes its best bow. We are
never so sure thai we are on the right
track as when we win from back num
bers like J. A. Scranton the tribute of
envious abuse. It would doubtless be a
thing for your Uncle Joseph to be
ut of his impending political
srve ayvneans or a vigorous gra p on
Matthew ftanley Quay's coat tails; but
we fear It WU1 never occur.

Interest T --' - "
Affected Anxiety, f
A rood deal or unjust criticism bat
recently been manufactured by friends
of a certain faction at what Is termed
the political "overactivity" 6f Oover-
nor Hastings.. , Because he has not
chosen, when attacked, to sit still and
te trampled upon, but instead has taken
a man's part in aclf defense, these
critics accuse hhn of undignified con
duct; ana", affect to be grievously
Shocked,
fWe doiiibt not that most of this pro
test Is pat -on for the occasion, and
would never have been heard of had
the governor agreed to exert an equal
activity In the factional behalf of Sena
tor Quay. Tet some of It may be sin
cere; and to those who are honestly of
that kind of opinion rre desire, to pre
sent the question, what nne official,
when hit at, would not take measures
to ward the blow offf .
There has been, in recent years, a
food bit of pure moonshine In the pop
utar Idea of politics, si some Idealistic
pursuit 1 , beneyole'noe Is the
raiding star and virtue its Own reward.
But most men with eye-teeth cut know
that the ' old-style, Anglo-Saxon no

It is eur belittf that the people of this
section do not want to see J. Donald
Cameron In the white hsuse, with Sena'
ter Quay placed in charge of the federal
pie counter. Whether they agree with
or dissent from Cameron's silver views.
they do not recognlie In him the quali
ties of statesmanship which should be
possessed by .a president of the I'nlted
States. Therefore, they will not help
Quay to land Cameron a winner. In ex
change for the federal patronage.
The Trolley and the Public
The Pittsburg Commerclal-Gaaette
thinks that "all that is needed to keep
the trolley companies within reasonabla
bounds is to pass and enforce proper
laws for their regulation. .That may
look simple enough, but the question
suggests Itself, How are such laws to
be passed and enforced? The people
have reserved ample power to deal with
the transportation, as with other prob
lems, but the difficulty Is to choose
representatives who will pass efficient
laws and elect officers who will give
force and effect to any measures which
may be adopted. The responsibility
for the failure to regulate the trolley
lines thus falls back upon the people."
Philadelphia, as our Allegheny con
temporary pi'lnta out. furnishes a case
In point. Af.'er a long ami earnest
struggle the city councils finally passed
an ordinance compelling the use of
fenders to protect life nnd limb, and
the officers are making a determined
ef?vrt to enforce It. There Is some con
tention as to the meaning of the ordi
nance, and whlli the police report that
54") cars ar. belr-g run by two compa
nies without fenders, which are there
by liable f a fine of $10 per day for
each car. ih.- companies contend that
they have complied with the require
ments of the ordinance. In other
words, it appears that what the com
panies regard as a proper safeguard
the police consider no fender at all.
The matter has gone Into the hands
cf the city solicitor, and bids fair to
reach the courts, which are expected
to Interpret the ordinance according
to the manifest Intent of the coun
cils in passing It. Since technical ob
jections have been raised which have
had the rffect of delaying the process
of collecting the lines, there Is a possi
bility that the companies may avoid
Its payment altogether, particularly In
view of the fact that nearly all of them
havemanlfestedadisposltlon to respond
to the requirements of the law. Over
100 Iivis hnvo already been lost from
trolley car accidents In that city, and
several hundred persons have been In
jured, so that some regulation Is ab
solutely demanded.
The passage of a fender ordinance In
this city, and also the Introduction and
partial passage of an ordinance regu
lating the speed of street cars bring
this question home with direct force.
It should be Insisted upon by the city
authorities that whatever, fender Is
adopted shall be a real protection and
not a menace to life. And If the speed
ordinance passes, every effort should
be made to enforce It to the letter. This
much Is unmistakably demanded by
public sentiment as a fair guaranty
against future accidents.
Electricity's High Cost.
Experiments rec&ntly made on the
N'antasket Beach branch of the New
Haven railroad system leave no doubt
of th feasibility of replacing steam
motors with electricity. That road Is
devoted almost exclusively to summer
pawnsrer traffic. Some time ego the
managenvnt put on electric motors and
they are still In use, with some prospect
of permanent employment. They are
reported as very efficient In making
quick rtarts and attaining a high rate
of speed. Th- patrons of the road are
pleaded with these results. Last week
some freight cars, heavily loaded, were
brought on to th line In order to test
thrj adaptability of electricity to that
drpartment of regular railway traffic.
A car having four motors was attached
to the train consisting of eleven of these
earn, and It was easily hauled over the
line a rc!e of about twenty-five miles
an hour. Then five additional cars
were attached, bringing the aggregate
load up to 4."0 tons, and this train
was hauled over the line and pushed
back again without any difficulty. The
new motor meets all requirements as to
strength and speed. Not a doubt ex
ists on either of those essential points.
Hut, as the Washington Post points
out, "there Is a. third point of scarcely
lees Importance, the question of cost.
Etrong pressure has been brought to
bear on the managers of the elevated
railroads In New Tork to Induce them
to adopt electric motors. They have
been alternately coaxed and bullied, but
they decline to make the change, bas
ing their declination on eoonomle
grounds. It has been suggested that
they owe to the public so large a weight
of obligation that they should be will
ing to adopt the latest Improvement,
willing to do away with the steam,
smoke and cinders which they now dis
tribute alike on the Just and the unjust,
even at a sacrifice of some part of their
dividends, but they do not yield to
that argument. They are In the rail
load business to make money, not for
sentimental purposes. It Is stated that
th head of tho Wcstlnghouse company
refuses to advise a change . on the
ground that the first cost could not be
overcome by a consequent reduction of
expense of operation." . '. ' ' '
No doubt this difficulty will yet be ob
viated. It certainly will be If capitalists
shall adequately realize the economic
possibilities of Bcranton's culm heaps,
and shall convey electricity by Induc
tion from the anthracite cool fields to
distributing stations In the large cities,
at a paltry fraction of the present cost
Iu the meantime, however, chained
lightning will probably not, so far aa
public transportation is concerned, far
outrun its present utilisation for local.
short distance transit .
Stay and Fight It Out.
Pastor Brooks, of Memphis, baa re
signed the pastorate of a Urge and
influential Presbyterian church in that
city. It Is said, because many of his
members refused to heed his' advice
urging them not to play progressive
euchre for prises, Rev. Mr. Brooks held
that to play that fascinating game for
anything else than sheer amusement
was equivalent, in morals, to gambling.
But why resign? It Satan has been
assailing the spiritual welfare of his
parishioners through the insidious me
dium of card-playing, is it not Pastor
Brooks duty rather to redouble his
energies toward their protection, and to
put new moral pressure to bear upon
them In the hope of Inducing them to
desist from the sinful practice? His
resignation will undoubtedly fill the
satanlo soul with glee, since It appears
to be tantamount to beating a precipi
tate retreat.
We advise Rev. Mr. Brooks to recall
that resignation, end to stay on the
ground and fight it out. If social games
of euchre are wrong his opposition to
them will win, some time. It is a part
of his bounden duty as a pastor to be
lieve in the final triumph of the right.
Hence, he should have courage to stick
It out, with sword gleaming ami colors
proudly Hying. Evin the Evil One
respects a bold fighter; and we dare
say that the same Is true of the by no
means satanlo rreebytwlans of Mem
phis. Relieving an Anxious Friend.
For tho relief of tho esteemed Pitts
ton Oazette we desire to say that The
Tribune's opinion as to the Impropriety
of the commissioner ft banking simul
taneously holding the political office of
ftate chairman has .not changed In the
slightest. We regard such' double ten
ure as the one weak point lr the ad
ministration's otherwise conclusive
case; and we hope yet to see Judge B. F.
Glikeson resign one Job or the other be
fore August 28.
But thi.? Is a minor question compared
with the broad Issue whether Senator
Quay shall put halters on the Republi
can governors of this great common
wealth. We admire Senator Quay's
gifts of leadership as much as
anyone, but we do not believe that even
he Is a big enough man to claim pro
prietorship over the government of
Pennsylvania and over all the people
that dwell therein.
Do we make our polijt clear?
A triumph has been exuHtngly re
corded to the credit of Secretary Olney.
Mr. Gresham used to see all callers as
soon as they called. Mr. Olney, Walter
Wellman tells us, has established him
self In a kind of Inner shrine, and will
net deign to receive any one before the
fourth or fifth call. This, In a Demo
cratic government, Is Indeed a feat to
be proud of. Hats off to Olney!
Says the Avoca Argus: "Scranton Is
big and growing bigger, but we have
serious doubts as to tho correctness of
The Tribune's figuring which places the
population at 125,000." The proof of the
figures Is In the counting. This year's
directory canvass has been exceedingly
careful; and It shows that If Scranton
hasn't 125,000 population It hasn't far
short of It.
"We are of the opinion that If the cars
of the company were equipped with
fenders, and If cars were run more fre
quently and at a slower rate of speed,
the liability to such accidents would be
lessened." So reads the verdict of the
coroner's Jury In the oa9e of Mrs. Mor
an. run over and killed by the Scran
ton Traction company at MInooka one
week ago. The moral Is obvious.

POLITICAL C0SS1P.
The veteran observer of things political,
Colonel D. C. Forney, ex-edilor of the
Philadelphia Press, but now a resident of
WaBhlngtcn,., has just made a tour of
Pennsy1v4i..a with eye and ears alert,
and in consequence sends the Post a lively
letter on the present political situation.
Among other things Colonel Forney says:
The real flgures are, first. Senator Quay
and his lieutenants, and arrayed against
these are the governor and hie followers,
the most prominenet of whom are Chris
Magee, of Pittsburg, and Dave Martin, of
Philadelphia, two of the shrewdest polit
ical workers In the slate, and long
enough Identified with Its politics and
the. Republican party to undoratand all
about its management. To Invite a conflict
with these forces, and as I can understand
It, upon no other ground than purely per
sonal ones, as Banator Quay's position
seems to show, can only be explained on
the hypothesis that he has lost his head.
In other words, that too much power has
made him mad. Granting him all the po
litical sagacity his friends claim for him,
and his many strong traits of character,
the strongest of which Is his fidelity to his
friends, his position today In' his- stats,
shows a most lamentable lack of common
seas. Th blunder Is even wane than the
stubbornnaaa be displayed in forcing the
Domination of Delamatsr for governor In
ISMk against tee advice of bis friends and
pro last of bla party, the result of wfcleb. as
eroryaody kaowa, was aa of tee worst
dlaaatar that ever eeeurred la feaasyl-
vanla. Like All patlUeABa erksoa method!
of sueeoss real eatiraly aa the lower grade i
of goutles, the eroUi system, tney are
more or less suspicious, and become
alarmed the moment men of merit and
fore of brain, of a pur Intellectual char
acter, like Governor Haattnss. are recog
nised, and A one th politician per se be
gins to Intrigue agalnat him unless he sur
redenrs body and soul."
II II II
Colonel Forney adds: "I have witnessed
several reaulta in th Republican party In
Pennsylvania during th last thirty or
mora years, so claim eome knowledge of
their previous symptoms, and from an en
tlrvly Independent standpoint I predict
that unless Senator Quay coraol to his
aensea he will b the worst two ton man
within the lines of his party, who ever
tried to Irampla on Its sovereignty. Meas
uring the chanoea today they stand about
ninety to ten In favor of Martin, and
ahould the tide keep on until the election
of state delegates In August, there will
scarcely be a Quay representative from
Philadelphia. There Is no party patron
age for Quuy in the fed-eral departments
of the state or cities, as the? are now con
trolled by the governor and in Philadel
phia by Mayor Warwick, and no ward
lender or ward councltmen could exist
without it, hence I predict that Philadel
phia will be almost unanimously antl
Uuay. Quay has had great favor through
out tho atute, the result mainly of the con
trol of federul and state patronage. The
first Is growing k's dally, with no hop
of Increase, for, say, two and a half years
to come, and the second Is entirely out of
his control. Growing out of this conflict
the defeat of Cameron seems to be one of
the foregone conclusions, as apart from
this factional fight, Cameron's attitude on
the silver question, as well as his readi
ness to affiliate with Democrats In the
United States senate, whenevur the oppor
tunity offered, him set up agalnat him
some very powerful opposition. Remem
ber with the old resoucea of public pat
ronage cut off, the political existence of
such men aa Cumeron and Quay becomes
exceedingly precarious.
II II II
"One other marked chango In tho polit
ical outlook In Pennsylvania," continues
the colonel, "Is the part tho young men of
the state are beginning to take in politics,
which promises some very radical Im
provements over its present Republican
leaders. These, young men are largely the
product of the public schools of the state,
and hence of a very decided higher level
than tho present ward politicians. Un
der an assured Republican president in
'96. the successor to 8enator Cameron
promises to be a Hastings-Warwick-Martin
senator, with whom Quay could not
enter into a conflict the year before his
own term would expire. The Chris Magee
furoro in the western part of the state
is growing every day. This formidable
combine, with the patronage of state and
cities, will be in full force at the time
when Cameron and Quay come up for re
election, and unless some wonderful
changes take place In the temper of the
Republican party between now and then,
the defeat of both these men seems to be
Inevitable, and as a forerunner of the fu
ture, Quay's defeat in the present conflict
is as clearly written In the signs, present
and future, as any event ever predicted.
Some of Quay's more intimate friends pre
dict that ho will reach a realising sense of
his real situation In the very near future,
say, the next sixty days, and will abandon
the fight. He is not a fool, and will hardly
risk the consequences of another Dela
mater defeat."
II II II
Fayette, Greene and Westmoreland
counties will, it is said, support Senator
Quay in his fight. Fayette and Westmore
land have already elected their delegates,
and Quay claims eight of the ten, with
possibly all of them. Greenes delegate
Is yet to be elected. Fayette's delegate,
General S. M. Bally, Captain J. M.
Dashane, Dr. J. D. Hazlett and John R.
Byrne, are oil personal friends of the
Junior senator, and say they will support
him to the end.
II II II
Senator Quay's campaign is being di
rected by Senator Andrews and Frank
Willing Leech. They have opened per
manent headquarters at the Hotel Metro-
pole, Philadelphia, and have a largo force
of clerks employed sending out circulars
and looking after the routine work of the
canvass. Senator Quay's friends at the
state rapttal dispute the claims of the op
position that they are already defeated.
II II II
As time goes on It looks to the Lancaster
Examiner as if there will not be mush
sensation after all In the battle of Repub
lican leaders In this state. It Is about
conceded that Governor Hastings will
have more than "a working majority"
over Senator Quay. Practically the mat
ter seems settled, but Just how Senator
Quay will back down and out with a smile
Is yet to be seen.
II II II
Says the Philadelphia Record: "The
Scranton Tribune, recalling the fact that
ex-Lieutenant Governor Watres was per
mitted to select his own delegates In Lack
awanna county, says that Superior Court
Judge Wlllard should now be given the
same privilege. The opposition, however,
to Hastings Is too strong for such a
course." Is it? Well, this is news.
II II II
Ex-Auditor General Jerome B. Niles and
Representative Walter Merrick will hove a
tussle In Tioga county for tho state dele
gates. Nlles is for Hastings and Merrick
for Quay. It now seems likely that the
senator will get three votes from that
county.
II II II
The announcement that Representative
Farr had decided not to be a candidate for
delegate from the First district was pre
mature. The Wlllard candldnto from
the Hyde Park end of the district will be
Thomas Phillips.
II II II
It goes hard for ex-Collector Cooper and
Congressman Jack Roblmon, of Media, to
pull peacefully together In political hnr-
ness. But each Is trying to outdo the
other in loyalty to Quay.
II II II
The Quay people claim a majority of tho
delegates from Montgomery county, the
home of Adjutant General Stewart. The
administration shouters concede them two
of the seven.
II II II
Democrats from all sections of the com
monwealth favor th nomination of six
Democratic candidates for Superior Judge.
II II II
Lycoming county's three delegates, At
torney General McCormlck will wager,
will vot for Hastings and Glikeson,

Cameron county's single delegate will be
for Quay.
