The Issue Illustrated.
Jf th Republicans of the First levls
latlve district had employed a man by
popular vote to do & certain thins, nnd
after he had undertaken to do that
thing another man, without warrant
from the people, should step In and
ay: "Hands off! I own you. and you
must do as I bid you." it would be an
exact parallel of the attitude assumed
by senator Quay toward Governor
HaaUnjfS when the latter, obedient to
Ms oath of office, tried to secure a re
apportionment of the commonwealth.
Under that proposed rearr-artlJiiment
Lackawanna county would have gained
a member of the state house of repre
sentatives; but Senator Juay Inter
vened, and by a coalition with the
Democrats, defeated it
The question now prerentcd b?fore
the voters of the First district la wheUv
er they sanction any sueli conduct as
this. Let us admit that many of them
admire Senator Quay for his great
ability; is It right to Indorse In his easo
an affront to the people which, if com
muted by any other Republican leader,
would have incurred immediate and
overwhelming censure? Is there any
possible reason whloh would Justify
the Republican voters of this district
in slapping Judge Wlllard's candidates
for Plate delegates In the face In order
to confirm Senator Quay In a clearly
mistaken and indefensible course of

The men who are running In the First
district as Quay delegates Say thy ore

the men who are trying to play a
f Quay , bunco game in Lackawanna
county -
Mesar. Phillips and Atherton are for
TVlllard without equivocation or reser
Vatlon. They are 't'he men for whom
"WMard's true frler.is In tha First dis
trict ought to vol
Qovernor Hastings' Attitude.
The Hbnesdale Independent prints an
' Interview with Chairman W. W. Wood
of the Wayne county Republican com
mittee, which clearly Illustrates that
Governor Hastings' present battle is
sot for the punishment of any man
or set of men, but Instead for fair play.
Mr. Wood recently had a long conver
sation with the governor, and In the
. Independent he repeats the tenor of It
for the guidance of his fellow Republi
cans. "The governor," says the Inde
pendent, "desired Chairman Wood to
aay that -his reasons for entering into
the avenue of active politics was be-
" . cause he believed that It was conducive
- to the Interests of the Republican party
that All legislation should be in accord
ance with the spirit of the constitution
and m the Interests of the entire peo
ple of. the state rather than to juggle
matters in the Interest of any party or
' evny Individual. The governor was loud
In his praises of Mr. Quay and his val
uable service to the Republican party
and was glad of the fact that the Re
publicans had shown their appreciation
of the same by placing him In the hlgh
est position within the gift of the people
of Pennsylvania that of United States
senator. .
"The governor claimed, (however, that
very 'Republican convention held while
Hr. Pattlson was governor inserted In
Its platform A demand for and a prom
ise to comply with the constitution in
- regard to reapportionment. Ar.d he
in his Inaugural strongly emphasized
the need And the right of the people of
the state for such an apportionment.
' His Address met with the approval of
the Republican leaders. Acting along
these tints, At a caucus of the house
. and senate committee the matter of ap
.. porUonment was arranged. But as
this apportionment necessarily would
. have given to the city of Philadelphia
greater representation than she now
has, and as Philadelphia politics was
ot In as close A touch with Mr. Quay
a It might be, the wheels of legisla
' tlon were blocked, the will of the people
est "at naught and the rights of the
' people as expressed fn the constitution
ignored until the swiet bye and bye.
, The foVwrnof . ohtfmed that whatever
-jreAoe stct rlse- among party
lc tt.did-4 Interfere wtthvthe
r--J.trzzzJ'' ty to the
state and the people In general, ifik.
Wood says the whole tenor of the gpv
ernor's talk was one of kindness and
the greatest consideration for the gen
tlemen who are opposed to him but at
the same time be indicated a determl
nation 'to hew to the line let the chips
fall where they may.' "
This does not read like the talk of a
man who, as the Quay organs try to
represent, Is fighting simply to destroy
Senator Quay so as to succeed to his
place as party leader. There Is noth
lng In It that indicates personal feel'
Ing of any kind. It Indicates, rather,
a high sense of public duty, which does
not fear to brave misrepresentation
rather than fall In loyalty to the peo
pie. If Senator Quay Is wise he will
not pursue his attack on such a man
to the paint which will make it nects
sary for the party at large to adopt
harsh measures in the governor's de
fense.
It has no doubt been duly observed
by the city authorities that the Scran-
ton Traction company's line on Frank'
lln avenue, near Spruce, has recently
been disconnected. Does this not con
stitute a forfeiture of (franchise rights
and If so, what Is going to be done
about It?
The Truth Plainly Stated.
The Drych, the leading organ of
the Welsh people in the United States,
end one of the staunchest Republican
papers in the country, had the follow'
in to say, editorially, in its last issue
"ine political battle rages hot in
Pennsylvania, and it is claimed by the
Hastings people that delegates
enough have already been elected to
defeat Senator Quay, and thus thwart
his selfish purposes. Senator
Cameron is the bone of contention.
Senator Quay is anxious that the
senior senator should be the presi
dential nominee of the Republican
party in 1896, and it is claimad by
those high in the councils of the grand
old party and whose opinions are
worth heeding in matters of great inv
portance, politically, that in case Mr.
Quay is successful in electing him
self chairman of the state committee,
he would undoubtedly succeed in
nominating his friend and patron for
the high office of president This com
bined with Mr. Quay's ambition of be.
coming the supreme political ruler of
the United States, is the true and only
cause of the bitter fight that now goes
on in Pennsylvania."
Will the Republicans of the First
district vote today for Cameron for
president, or will they remain loyal to
the interests of their own home can
didate for a place on the next state
ticket. Judge Wlllard ?
Senator Quay is of genuine use to his
party only wh-en 'he Is content to be it9
survaait, not Its boss.
An Impressive Contrast.
In the bright columns of our esteemed
Cleveland contemporary, Robert P.
Porter's World, In the course of a letter
from Philadelphia descriptive of the
recent and rapid- growth of Uie trolley
party fdd, we read with surprise that
mechanical Ingenuity in that tradition
ally slow city has risen to the unexpect
ed heights of a trolley car buffet.
The company which enjoys the dis
tinction of improving the buffet Is
known by the distinctive title of the
Hestonvlile Mantuai and Fivirmount
Passenger Railway company. Recent
ly, according to our centemporary. It
built several cars with folding seats
and an aisle running up the center.
The cars are known as the aisle palace
cars. They are enclosed all around the
sldss with bronze grill frames and have
cushion rattan seats, with comfortable
backs. They are probably the hand
somest trolley cars running In the
United States, and there has been n.
pressing demand for Uiem for summer
night excursions. There Is space enough
ftween the aisles at the four corners of
the cars for tables, and tables of the
detachable pattern, such as are used
on Pullman buffet cars, were put there.
The tables are used to serve the re
fresh mentn "and," graphically adds
the World correspondent, "the spec
tacle of an electric car flying through
the night like Tarn O'Shanter from the
witches, and carrying Its own light
ning with it. Is something that the
world has awaited an Illustration of
In the quiet and subdued habitation,
of the descendants of William Penn."
We are moved to allude to this pleas
ant Bubject at this time by the recollec
tion of a contrast which it calls to
mind the contract between these beau
tiful Philadelphia palace trolley cars
and the ghastly conveyances operated
by the Seranton Traction company on
the Nay Aug line.
Why doesn't Cameron have the man
hood to take off hla coat end help his
poor partoer out?
Where Are Those Fenders?
Several weeks have elapsed since
public notice was given by the Scran
ton Traction company that it had or
dered safety fenders for Its trolley cars.
In the natural order of things Is It not
about time that those fenders began to
be visible to the naked eye?
We can assure the amiable gentle
men who manage our delightful street
railway system that the public' has by
no means lost Interest in the-fender
problem; and that It would be a good
stroke of policy were the Traction offi
cials to frankly toe the mark in this
matter, without further quibbles or
evasion.
Suppose the public's patience should
give out? ,
Give him all he wants and Quay is
entirely willing to compromise on the
basis that Hastings shall have all that's
left.
Touching Indifferent Landlords.
The grand army of long-suffering ten
ants will shout hallelujah to Sanitary
Officer Burke's complaint concerning
Seranton landlords who give no thought
to. the health of the people who rent
houses from them,, but Instead.' permit
the continuance ot gross 'nuisances be
cause it -would cost A few pennies to
make the requisite repairs.
The .way to put a stop to this Indif
ference Is precisely as . Officer Burke
suggests; namely, by having' the aeoes-
sary repairs made under the board of
health's direction and then exacting
payment from the negligent property
owner. A little of this wholesome kind
of reminder to duty would probably go
a long distance toward correcting the
evil In question.
Rents are certainly high enough in
this city to warrant any landlord In
keeping his premises in a sanitary con
dltlon.
Quay should have foreseem the result
cf his attempt to dictate. Pennsylvw
r.-ia twice before notified htm it dldn'
wain that to occur again.
An Unenviable Responsibility,
The decision of the well-paid recetV'
ers of the Insolvent Reading railroad
to hold out far 21 per cent, of the total
anthracite tonnage, regardless of the
effect of this obstinate demand upon
scores ot small operators who have
only their coal to depend on, and who
cannot much longer keep their heads
above water whllo this coal Is being
sold far below Its actual cost, would
have some shade of Justification, If that
almost defunct corporation had, In Its
palmiest days, ever mined such a per
centage of the total output. 1 But the
facts are that the claim has no preced
ent to back it up.
With the exception of the year 1892,
when, under the McLeod regime, the
Reading company controlled both Its
own coal and the coal of its leased
lines, the Reading railroad In one year.
has never mined more than 20.99 per
cent, or .01 per cent, less than the
amount it now obstinately claims as
its rightful quota. This was 1890; in
1891 It mined 20.8 per cent.; in 1893 only
19.35 per cent, and last year, 20.02 per
cent. The year 1890 was an exceptional
one for the Reading people, and yet
even then they did not produce the per
centage of tonnage now claimed, in
year of depression, with many . new
companies actively competing in the
Reading's field
Tet It Is not so much the amount as It
Is the principle back ot the Reading's
attitude that stamps It as grossly un
Just. When, after months of difficult
and delicate TOgotlattom, during which
for the first time in Its history the long
Independent Pennsylvania Railroad
company agreed to abide the results of
an arbitration among the various ton
nage clalmantsi there at Kust remained
but one obstacle to a restoration of
hope aind harmony to the long unset
tied coal trade, It deserves to be borne
In mind by the fair-play loving public
that it was this same bankrupt aind
court-protected Reading railroad which
deliberately kicked matters ireto chaos
by arrogantly refusing to even so much
aa Olsten to the suggestion of an arbi'
tratlon of differences.
And yet the receivers who did this
thing draw 130,000 a year apiece, by
virtue of their appointment from the
court, whether their road defaults or
"not, and entirely oblivious, It would
seem, to the fact that Uiielr Jaunty con
trarilmess is dally driving dozens of hoi
orable and reputable oal operators, to
gether with tens of thousands of work-
lngmen, to the very verge of business
failure, through reasons which they
cannot control and for which they are
In no sense responsible.
(As evidence of the "partisan uses" to
which the Superior court Is put the
Philadelphia Record notes that "one of
Its Judges, Wlllard, of Lackawanna, has
recured the election of the seven dele'
gates from that county 'to the Republi
can state convention to ho voted as
may best promote his own nomination."
This, barring the inaccuracy In the
number of delegates yet chosen. Is 'true
to this extent: that the Republicans of
Lackawanna county have chosen four
drif gates friendly to Mr. Wlllard and
pledged thorn to his candidacy. Out
what of It? Docs It constitute an Im
propriety? Can It be magnified into a
crime? Has a stage yet been reached In
Mva evolution of political idiocy where It
cam be made out that the neighbors and
friends of a candidate for Judge men
who have known him all their lives and
who, In many Instances, have been In
ebted to him for numerous personal
kindnesses and party favors are to be
eensured for evincing an. Interest In his
official inspirations? What Is the Record
talking about?
It is well, at times, to be guided by
the enemy's movements. Thus we at
tach significance to this comment of
the- Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette,
Quay organ: "There Is an ugly feel
ing In the northwestern counties over
the circumstance that that Important
section, with Its wealth of legal talent,
has been entirely ignored, while the
adjoining counties of Lackawanna and
Luzerne, with business Interests simi
lar to each other, have each been hon
ored. Consequently, it will be no sur
prise to see one or more candidates In
addition to the governor's appointees,
coming before the Republican state con
vention as aspirants for places on the
Superior bench." The lesson of this
admonition, following that of a simi
lar threat in the local organ of the Quay
brigadiers, will hardly be lost on the
friends of Judge Wlllard In the First
district today. The way to protect
Lackawanna county's representation on
the Superior bench Is to chose delegates
who will be unreservedly true to the
representative, Judge Wlllard.
It Is said In the Wilkes-Barre Times
that the chances ere r.ow very largely
In favor of George 8. Ferris, of Pitts
ton, receiving the Republican nomina
tion for common pleas1 Judge of Lucerne
county. The fulfilment of this pleas
ant prophecy would be welcome news
to Mr. Ferris' many warm friends In
Seranton. There Is AibBolultely no ques
tion of hie entire fitness for the posi
tion'; and very little, If any, of iris
Availability.
Our friend Jones of Oarbondale, not
content with setting up shop as Quay's
broker la the matter of postofflcea and
such, ts yet busy nursing bte politi
cal sore toe. But to he quite the mas
to champion purity la politics?
The Carbondede Leader cannot under
stand how olxty-two taOote were east
at Usfe Friday's Fourth district pri
maries In one word which. It says,
"never before gave over eleven ballots
for a Republican candidate." This does
look strange on Its face; but perhaps
the Leader's distinguished contributor,
Hon. 8. 8. Jones, who directed the fac
tion, tfaat polled Ithirty or these sixty
two votev might be able to shed some
light on the subject.
The curious spectacle Is today pre
sented in New York city of the same
Tammany howlers who helped to pass
the present excise law for the purpose
of facilitating the collection of black-
mall from the saloons now declalnlng
with unanimous vehemence Against Its
enforcement. But Theodore Roosevelt
Is just the man to enforce It; and the
more they squirm the more encourage
ment he will have to push ahead.
It Is well to remember that the re
sponsibility for this county light rests
wholly upon those malcontents who
hoisted Quay's banner to cloak nefari
ous schemes of their ownt
We do not believe there Are many Re
publicans in either Hyde Park or Provi
dence who want to aid In the poWtlcal
resuscitation of J. A. Seranton and pals.
Senator Quay will today hear another
note of warning from Lackawanna, and
like the other notes, It will involve a
protest.
The Quay organ's little lie on Repre
sentative Farr appears to have been
provided with a first-class recoil.
, Th fight con be ended at eny time.
All that is needed to end It is for Mr.
Quay to call the war off.
Watch the West Sid primaries today
and see another political bunco game
end In well-merited disaster.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Maybe It Will Not Work.
Pittsburg Times: "The Democratic
Philadelphia Times, which. In Its deep lovo
for the Republican party, Is Senator
Quay's chief organ in Pennsylvania, sup
plements Its two former Washington dis
patches picturing In glowing terms ths of
fices which Senator Quay will have to dis
tribute under th next Republican admin
istration, by a third. In which It is told
that In the next senate he will be chair
man of the committee on public buildings.
The power of the chairman .over bills for
the erection of publio buildings Is dwelt
upon at length. It would seem that the
merits of such measures have nothing at
all to do with their passage, nor has the
committee Itself much. If anything, to do
with reporting them to the senate. The
public Is gravely Informed that the chair
man, who Is to be Senator Quay, has 'great
autocratio power.' This Is followed by
the equally significant statement that
Senator Quay ' will not lie awake o'
nights' next winter to help cities that are
against him, while 'ho will lose no time
In helping thosa cities which help him.'
This Is an eminently just statement of
Senator Quay's case. No considerations
of right and justice and fair play enter
into it. it is simply a commercial matter.
Me and my friends' covers the whole
sitbject. The Republican1 party, as a
whole, does not enter Into It. Personal
allegiance sums up the entire business.
Blind, unreasoning subserviency Is the
test which makes a friend. Independence
marks a man as an enemy. But there
have been instances in history where this
sore or thing did not work. Senator
Quay Is not the only personage who has
taken men to the pinnacle of the temple
and promised dominions where he did not
own a foot of land."
II II II
The People Are Interested.
Harrlsburg Letter in Norrlstown Her
ald: "You would be surprised to see and
hear what an Interest this chairmanship
fight has awakened all over tha state.
You would be still more surprised If you
would just sit for a half or one day In the
reception room of the executive depart
ment and ascertain for yourself the class
of people who are taking an Interest In
this fight. If you will observe the class
of people calling on the governor and
urging him to make a stand for the good
of the party and his Republican Admlnis-
tratlon. It will certainly convince any
one that he has the moral, conservative.
well-thinking and reading element of the
Republican party back of him. Ropubli
cans call who are not place-hunters or
grabbers for postofllces, etc., but a class
who feel that they have somebody to
consult now who has the Interests of the
party at heart and not merely personal
matters at stake. The people must under
stand that the last thirty years have
brought a new element to the front In the
Republican party in this state, and they
feci now that there Is a chance for free
dom. Representatives of this class are as
general thing enthusiastic, generous
and when they go into a fight It means
something."
II II II
Fixes the Responsibility.
Philadelphia Press: "What Is the gov
ernor's position? He simply stands where
he stood at the beginning proposing
nothing more, consenting to nothing less,
He was for the apportionments on the
day of his inauguration when Senator
Quay fully agreed with him. He was for
the apportionments on the day of their
defeat when Senator Quay and his fol
lowers united with the Democrats to kill
them. Others had changed the governor
remained true to the position all had held
together. He stands now precisely where
he has stood from the day he went to
Harrlsburg bearing the commission of the
more than half million Republicans of
Pennsylvania asking only what all then
greed to, seeking only the Integrity of
the organisation then existing. Whatever
of feeling has been aroused In the party
throughout the state, whatever of con
test has been excited, had their origin, not
in any change of position on the part of
the governor, but In the sudden reversal
on the part of ths Junior senator of his
concurrent stand with the executive for
apportionment. This clear and Indisput
able record fixes the responsibility."
II II II
Will Taks Their Cus from Us.
WIIkes-Barre Record: "The defeat of
the Quay forces In Lackawanna county is
the most Important event In the history
of the Quay-Hastings contest. It wag
there that the first -real fight was made
In which ths strength of the opposing
forces could be tested. The leaders on
both sides recognised this and put forth
their best efforts. It was a battle royal,
for the result would. In a great measure
sound the keynote throughout the state.
The rout of the Quay forces, therefore.
Indicates that the sentiment In favor of
Hastings has crystallised and that the
counties throughout the state will un
doubtedly, taks their cue from Lacka
wanna."
II II II
Movement of the Polities! Tide.
Philadelphia Telegraph: "The tide
seems to be steadily running In all parts
of the state In favor of the Republican ad
ministration, whloh has done nothing
worthy of factional assault. The result of
the primary election In Lackawanna
county Is highly Indicative. A special
missionary tour was made for ths purpose
or preventing tha election of delegates
favorable to the real representatives of
the Republican party In the pending con
test, but this effort was In vain. In other
sections the same feeling Is manifested.
and fresh Issues are coming to the front
which must command the Attention f
thoughtful men and Impel them to take
An active part la behalf of the movement
to preven the misuse ef the Republican
organisation. This great state has a duty
to perform at this time which cannot t
evaded and should not be neglected. Tha
battle fought and woa next month wlU be
a long step toward maintaining Pennsyl
vanla's proper position before the eoun:y
next year. Let the plain facta be care
fully coasldered everywhere, and the re
sult cannot be in doub'.
II II II
Out of Toaeh with the Peonls.
Harrlsburg Letter in Norrlstown Her
ald: "The great trouble with Cameron
and Quay today is that they are too far
away from the people. The former don
know the Republicans of his state and he
has drifted away from Republicaa prin
clples, and when you want to see him, you
have to go down to South Carolina. As
for our junior senator, he spends much of
his time In Florida or else In the western
part of the state, at Reaver, and at his
age Is not able to be In touch with the
rising young Republicans of the day."
II II II
Dandle Men Like Slaves.
Honesdale Independent: "The main
purpose of the Quay-Hastings fight Is
the control of the Pennsylvania delegation
In the nert national Republican conven
tlon. For many years Cameron and Quay
have handled the Pennsylvania delegation
In national Republican conventions just as
they would so many slaves. In fuct they
have no use for any man In any olliclal or
representative position unless he Is ab
jectly servile."
II II II
Interesting and Also Significant.
Philadelphia Press: "It is an Interest
Ing fact attending the party disturbance
created by Senator Quay that since ho an
nounced himself as a candidate for chair
man of the state committee no delegato
has been elected who will vote for Mr.
Quay for that position. At every elcc
tlon since the Issue was made Mr. Quay
has been beaten. This Is quite as slg'
nltlcant as interesting."
II II II
Too Many Vindications.
Norrlstown Herald: "It Is high time
that a party having a popular majority
of nearly a quarter of a million in the
state, should have a leader who does not
need to sacrifice the organization's suc
cess every few years In order that he may
enjoy tne picasuro ot a vindication."
II II II
It Aids Judgo Wlllard.
Wilkes-Barre Leader: "The nromnt In
dorsement of Hastings by Lackawanna
unquestionably advances the Interests of
Judge Willard. It Is to be hoped that the
vacillating policy of ths Luierne Repub
licans will not compromise Judge Rice's
cnances."
II II I!
As Viewed in Lnorno.
Wilkes-Barre Leader: "To a man up a
tree It looks as though the youthful Seran
ton Tribune has gotten tho bulge on Uncle
Joseph s patriarchal sheet."
II II II
Referred to Scnutor Quay.
Lancaster Examiner: "It Is tho fellow
that is beaten who cries 'enough.' "
