' 11 the current report foe true that Senator Quay contemplates making a personal appeal, on AlonJay. to the Republican of Lackawanna county for aid la his present flsht, we trust that hit friends will correctly represent to him the etate of public, opinion in this section of the commonwealth. He should fce Informed that -while there Is high admiration or his undoubted sifts as a political leader, and strong loyalty to the principle of party organization within reasonable lines, this feeling Joes set sancttoa arbitrary or unfair prooedure ont his part; and is utterly opposed to the utilization of the Re publican party machinery In the work lug out ef personal resentments or re venge. To ts more specific the senator should fee notified that the honest Re puhUcanlsm of this county views with disfavor the attempt of any toan, how ever astute or successful, to punish per son! freedom or political opinion or to asert an exclusive ownership of the various departments of the state gov ernment and of the municipal govern ments of our leading cities. He should tie told that while, as a representative of Pennsylvania In the tJntted States senate he Is entitled to the cordial sup port of the party which elected him, he Is not entitled to interfere in the poll tics of Lackawanna county or any oth er county, as he Is understood to have tried to Interfere, on previous occasions In the politics of Philadelphia: and es pecially that loyalty to wise party leadership is by no means synonymous with servile acquiescence In personal schemes having for their purpose the prostitution of the gubernatorial office and the humiliation of the state's chief executive. We ibelieve that !n the present In stance, as upon several previous ones, the senator has been ill-advised. Had he cfcoaanto dbey the wishes of the peo pTe In the matter of reapportionment; had. be kept hands off the city govern men of Philadelphia, for the conduct of lefties the residents of that city are alone responsible; and ha4 he been con tent to-allow to Governor Hastings the same freedom of official action which he wernld have olaimed the right to ex ercise If he "were himself the governor C Penirsyhraaa'a, does anybody believe that his leadership would trow be chal lenged, or that the people of this com monwealth would now be treated to the peculiar spectacle of their junior fjnited States senator making an anx ious personal canvass for the state chairmanship ef his party, hitherto ac cord ad to him or to his friends without e struggle? We have said before, and we repeat that Senator Quay Is the architect of his own political misfortunes. Wise counsel and prudent leadership would have averted the dangers that now threaten film. Is It too late for him to learn this lesson voluntarily, or must It he taught by the severer processes of compulsory education 7 The Unspeakable Turk. ' The attention of our readers Is called le "Viator's" communication on an other page, narrating some of his ex periences and observations In the land ef the unqpeakalble Turk. The writer of that letter makes out, without exag geration or undue emphasis, a strong ease against the present government of the Turkish empire. (Especially Interesting In his explana tion of the sapient censorship of books and papers exercised by the Porte. The Instance cited In the case of the text books on chemistry, which, were mu tilated because the censor, or effendl, did not understand the chemical symbol for water as he probably did not under stand the element itself and therefore regarded It as a treasonable fling at the reigning monarch, fairly Illustrates the exalted knowledge and breadth of mind enlisted In the government of the Ottomani dominion. The average American, reading of these things, Is perplexed between pity for the igno rance disclosed and natural resentment at such a gross perversion of the right ful functions of government. At this particular time, with snore than two score European and American warships anchored off Constantinople and Beirut, it Is possible that some of the more glaring evils of Turkish mis rule may fee temporarily kept In the background. ' But the removal of these stupe wlB undoubtedly be the signal for a vigorous return to all the old-time cruelties; until it must inevitably be come civilisation's Imperative duty to put an end to the whole vexatious farce by forcible partition of the Ottoman em pire and the joint exercise of a reforms' tlve suzerainty. Concerning T. F. Penman. In yesterday's issue of the Scranton Republican appears the following card from T. F. Penman: The Tribune editorial of Thursday re ferrtng to me la evidently Intended to put me in a false position of opposing the can didacy of Judge Wlllard, and belittling the Quay sentiment In this community. At Mr. Wlllard's request I accompanied his delegation to liorrlsburg to ask the kov ernor for his appointment. Sinco then I have been, and will continue to be, heartily and unroHorvilly for his nomination; and should I by any possibility have any lntlu enoe with the Quay element In the state convention, I shall take pleasure in using It for Judge Wlllard's Interests. Hut I do not concede the rlsht to The Tribune or ny one else to choose for me the leader of the party In the states I believe the lartre majority of Republicans In this county favor Scnntor Quey and If a free 11 ud untmmmellrd expresxlon is permitted, they will nay so. No delrgntfs have been "mt up"' by me, nor do I Intend to "set up" any. Neliher have I any Influence to drive out of th field any gentlemen who wish to bo delegates. I have one vote In the Second legislative district and I shall take pleasure In casting it for delegates who will represent Judire Wlllurd's and Senator Quay's Interests In tho conven tion. The one statement In the foregoing which we wish to be specially noted Is the writer's assertion that "no dele gates have been 'set up' by him, nor does he Intend to 'Bet up any." "Who, then. Is responsible for the presence In the field of Quay candidates who, while professing to be friendly to Judge Wll ard, have not consulted either with him or his friends, and who publicly say thit they are for Quay first, last and all the time, end for "Wlllard only Inci dentally? If Major Penman la not set ting up delegates, why did he secretly ga to Carbondale Thursday night and, from the parlor of the Anthracite hotel. send out for a conference of Quay Re publicans, to take steps to defeat the Willard candidates for delegates in the Fourth district? If the major is simply a p&ssenger on board the antt-Willard precession, why did Senator Quay put a large sum of money, reported to be $2,600, In his hands for use in "fixing th::igs" in this county? We do not wlnh to question his veracity, but if what he says be true, we would like to be enabled to lay before the Republl can3 of this county en explanation of these curious circumstances. Now, as to the major's "not conced' ing the right of The Tribune or any one else to choose for him the leader of the party In this state," we desire to remind him that this paper does not assume to do any such choosing. All that it does assume to do is to request of the real friends of Judge Wlllard that they will not train with his active enemies, who both Ignore his wishes in a fight which Intimately concerns his political fu ture, and to this act of Ingratitude try to add the worse act of deception. An Inconsistent Leader. We are not aware that -the Carbon dale Leader, which after the Scranton Penman antl-Wlllard conference of Thursday night In its city, eagerly re turns to its self-appointed task of try Ing to defeat the election of delegates form the Fourth district personally friendly and acceptable to Judge Wll lard, raised objection five years ago when Senator Watres, then a candi date for the lieutenant-governorship nomination. wa freely accorded the complimentary privilege of selecting his own delegates to the state conven tion. The Leader thinks "the time may come when the precedent whloh The Tribune is now trying to establish will orove a boomerang In its own camp. That, dear ontemporary, Is our risk, not youfs; besides, we are not trying to establish a precedent. The preced ent was established with the Leader's cordial sanction In the case Just men tioned. The sapient Leader continues: "We do not object to Judge Wlllard's effort to secure a place on the Republican state ticket, but simply contend that It would be more In consonance with party usage, and more modest withal, to appeal to the people for support In stead of demanding that delegates se lected by him before the primaries are held should go." It Is kind In our con temporary thus frankly to permit Mr. Wlllard's candidacy to continue; and for this It has our thanks. But when it dissents to the proposition that as a compliment to the one candidate before the next state convention In whom Lackawanna county Is directly Inter, ested he phould be permitted to have a friendly delegation at his back, It Ut ters doctrine clearly "out of conson ance with party usage," and therefore condemned by Its own voice. If Judge Wlllard had open opposition in this county it would be another matter. But with no local candidate running against him for judge of the Superior Court, why should there be this strange and unnrecedented hesitancy In showing him the same courtesy which was upon similar occasion shown to Colonel Watres? . The Leader adds: "We are Opposed to any such proceedings tootn and nail; we must be, to be consistent. Whether It affects Mr. Wlllard or any other In dividual one way or another Is a matter for the least consideration." We have shown that to be consistent with Its record In the Watres campaign It should hot be "opposed to any such pro ceeding." Hence, we must suppose that Its Inconsistency springs from op position to Judge Wlllard, whose friends should govern themselves ac cordingly. , The appearance of the editor of the Scranton Republican as a champion of antl-bossUm while' defending fenator Quay, a man who would. If he could. control every, nomination and appoint- ment throughout the whole of Penn sylvania, Is amusing, to say the least But Is he so short-sighted as to think that the self-respecting Republicans of Lackawanna county do not recall the time when, with overweening arro gance, he set himself up as a boss ef the most dictatorial and unscrupulous type; and when no man in the county dared to aspire to political preferment without first buying his august con sent? Talk about "liberty of expres sion and action." When did J. A, Scranton ever voluntarily recognise such a thing? If Major Penman -was not setting up Quay delegates, why did he and Con gressman Scranton go to Carbondale under cover of Thursday night, and, without Judge Wlllard's knowledge or consent, and In opposition to selections already announced by Judge Wlllard's friends, try to get candidates to fight Messrs. Thomas and Young? Does Major Penman think that his thin pro testations of friendliness tor the Judge's candidacy before the next state conven tlon are sufficient to mask his shrewd ulterior purposes? The Republicans of Lackawanna county are not thus easily fooled not by a long shot! According to Ilarrlsburg advices, Senator Quay has Informed his sup porters that he does not propose to op pose the nomination of any of the Re publicans appointed as Judges on the Superior court at the Republican state convention. This is quite different from his hostile tone when, a tew days ago, he Intimated that It he could have his way Judge Wlckham, of Beaver, would be tho only one nominated by next month's convention. Mr. Quay Is evidently beginning to realize that Pennsylvania Is a pretty big state to be carried around in his vest pocket. A few days ago some of the papers In Carbondale were greatly exercised be cause "Scranton politicians" Tiad "chosen delegates for them." What have these able Journals to say con cerning the later Scranton-Penman ef fort to choose competing candidates for election as delegates In the Fourth dis trict? Is that particular brand of "outside Interference" all right? The editor of the Republican threat ens, if his wishes are not regarded in the present fight, to cause an upheaval In the county and city organisation This Is a fine bluff; but It does not work. The Republicans of (Lackawan na county have outgrown the time when they regarded Mr. Scran tin's mercenary Interests as superior to party principle and party welfare. If Major Penman is sincere In his publicly expressed wish to further Judge Wlllard's candidacy, let him quit trying to set up anti-Wlllard delegates. Nobody has clothed Penman with the authority to cancel Mr. Wlllard's own preferences In the mattsr of delegates, The last city election returns will show to what extent (Mr, Scranton has been able to "cause an upheaval In the city organisation."

After an extended and accurate review of the causae of the present fight, the Wllkes-Barre Times correctly crystallises the present Issue as follows: "Shall the Republican party ef this great Republican state be led around by the caprices of one man like a bull with a ring In his nose? Host assuredly they wnl not. The young Republican manhood, the vigorous young Americanism ef the state will repel and rebuke such leadership. Nothing was ever gained by sitting on the fence in any con test In which Is baaarded a direct Interest As a personal tribute to the governor, In loyalty to our townsman, Judge Rloe, and because It Is honest and right to do so, Hie Republicans of Lttserne county should stand bravely and unequivocally for the support of Governor Hastings, He will surely win as he ought and we should share the viotery with him." .
