Where was Mr. Fellows when thiUgbt went out? Tfe Wiry and the Wherefore. R Is reported that when Senator Quay, by aid of Democratic allies who ten to be wltb him yet'fecently foiled the cov-ern-&9slrv for a re apportionment, m , remarked to a com panion: Sowm hope Hastings has been UnghtaTesson." Aa a matter of fact, HasMfnga had. He had been 4ang?!rtr'(rery emphatic object-lessoro In the Quay brand of practical polMes the lesson that neither perioral pledges ' or state oonstitutlons were too sacred to1 be snipped asunder the moment that faottonal necessity required their sacri fice. TJp to that time, Governor Hastings tiad been most considerate of Senator Quay. He had deferred In nearly every Instance to the eero.tor'e wishes; he had permittee the senator tio oame all but one of the members of Ms official cabi net! when the break with David Mar tin canst he had repeatedly endeavored to enact the role of peacemaker, to the end the the party at large might not offer througtt a difference between twe of Itt leaders concerning excluslve ry munletpal politics. But when, r garaleM of these evidences of e-xeou-tlveeonslderatlonr. proffered gratuitous ly by Governor Hastings, than whom no other man In Pennsylvania politics owe) Quay less, irhe senator, without sign or' signal, turned suddenly upon Tatm. declared war upon his admlnlstra tlon, Mid undertook to humiliate him before the people, what course was left btrt to assume the attitude of defend? We recite there facts In the hope that they will have a tendency to explain to many people Mtherto dissatisfied at the ftrotnect of factional warfare, why ana wherefore the warfare was inevitable; and why nd wherefore It has been poshed with such vigor In iftls ominty by .those who feel that the administra tion's course has been forced upon It through Senator Quay's own llldvlsed actions. There is co wish to degrade Mr. Quay; 'but he must accord to the governor air play In uhe premises, or be prepared to take tne consequences. Our friends In Luxerne are respect- fulfy litvVted to go and do likewise. Placing the Responsibility. We ere aware of no reason In equity why the Readlmr railroad, already, In the opinion of most observers, encum bered in debt beyond hope of successful rthtiSti should be permitted by the mi Bbneeivable benefit to It jBjpaAj assf avi self, to remain in an attitude toward the ' anthracite Coal trade twhlch (a creating ...! -,in among many nonoraoie in dependent operators, who when coal is artiflcally eoreea aown ommw us wuai cost price, have no option but to lose their capital or snui up snp. t. .mr Uiat tabor -In the anthra ni.tMiiad with the troi- pecv The producers o! wl rto em ploy the greater ponion ir 4mi nitfss In which to util- IV V.. ww.- is It. ffhey to n oWn railroads and . .'. !.l.k. la aaB aAAlInn SBwBal ot rejaivtca -or -Urn ehelr-mines at a the coal thus mined. For months many Individual operators, to our personal knowledge, have kept their mines busy at a loss, for no other purpose than to give their employes a chance to earn at least a partial living. Every ton of coal mined under these conditions has been mined at a sacrifice; and every ton of it sold would, had It not been for the necessities of the labor Involved In Its preparation, have been worth more to the operator In the ground than on top of the ground. This state of affairs, however, cannot continue indefinitely. The time Is drawing nigh when something deci sive will have to occur, one way or the other. The Individual operators have stood between two fires as long as they can afford to stand there, and, indeed, In many cases, a great deal longer. If the courts of this commonwealth are going to keep up the farce whereby a bank rupt railroad through the stubbornness of Its receivers la permitted to drive prosperity away from a legitimate and necessary Industry for no other reason than to swell Its own freight revenues so as to aid In the floating of m-w loans that It Is not Intended to repay, then upon the courts themselves will fall the responsibility. The helpless Individual operator has been the common target quite long enouirh. These are off days for the Scrantons. Even the bH club by that name has apparently forgotten how to win. The Result in the First. Of all the notable victories yet achieved by '.'he friends f fair play In this state, that won yesterday In the First district Is ihe mout gratifying and at the eime tlme':he most signltl ount. To observers remote from the scene of it. this result iray seem only one in a link of marked papular tri umphs; but to thcs who re familiar with the admiration felt for years by the Republicans of the First district for .Matthew Stanley Quay an admira tion elicited by his unquestioned eltts of leadership and his extraordinary tq- sources ot political command this great visitation of censure for Mr. Quay's present error Is doubly ftnJ trebly reassuring. We take it that It Involves, not any tun.-Ong away from Mr. Quay, the true leader, but rather a notification to him and to the Intriguers who hide behind him. that genius of party generalship Is not a license for the gross abu;e of party authority, and that the luest function of fearless friendship Is to pre vent the ratification of deliberate mis cakes. It Is a result which betokens careful thought amor.j the masses of the party, and a disposition to reach to the very bottom of the Issue Involved, Irrespective of past predilection' or prejudices. And finally, It is an em phalic and overwhelming rebuke, from Senator Quay's truest admirers, to the audacious misuse cf his r.ame under taken by discredited local schemer who dared not fight their selfish battles out In the open, on their own merits. The cutting lesaoa of three cumula tive rebukes ought not t trlost on these foiled Intriguers.'' They have thrice sought to etab their party and Its candidate, Judge WUlard, uader shadow of Quay's supposedly Invincible prestige, and each time they have failed, the last time more pitiably Ohan the first. It would seem that the frua. tra,tion of their stratagems would af ford a sufficient lndfoai:orj of the pub lic's will, wlUhout needing the clincher of a fourth demonstration. But If they shall desire to measure sw'ords In the Third, the opportunity will no doubt be accorded, and the delega'-.lon made unanlmoui. With lackawanna holding out so good an example, we question If Sus quehanna wltl sell out to Quay. Should Eat flore Oats. Quite a novel point Is raised by the Chicago Times-Herald when It &sk9 what la to become of the American oats crop if th.9 trolley and the bicycle are to sunolant the herbivorous horre. Ac cording to statistics recently gathered. fMMiirn rvrntpmrxirarv add a rr,ruierva.tlve estlnrata places the num hw of horre supplanted by electricity at 80,000. The number displaced by the bicycle Is a matter of speculation, but It Is admittedly very large. Judging fram the reports of hnrsodealers and liverymen. It Is claimed thai the 80, 000 animals alone consume 14,000,000 bushels of grain annually. As the oaM crop in this country amounts to about CfAOOO.OOO bushels annually, the de creased demand occasioned by the trot lev car does not as yst hove any appre clable effect upon the cash markrt, but it must ultimately cause a decline In nrlces." The period of declension is, In th Times-Herald's opinion, an opportune time to press the need and desirability of a more general consumption of this excellent end highly nourishing food nnvdunt bv the human family. "It Is one of the notable dietetic eccentrici ties of the American people," U ob serves. 'Hhat they consume such large quantities of wheat flour. Wo have failed to note the fact that some of the most rugged and robtmt nations of Eu rope eat very llittle pure wheat flour bread. The flour of rye, oats and corn constitutes an Important factor In the culinary products of many European nations, lit has been proved many times by the higher hygienic authori ties that wheat flour, when separated entirely from the nutritious hull, Is not an Ideal food product. Indeed, it t maintained by many that In point of digestibility and nourishing properties it does not compare favorably with oornmeal or oatmeal. The human ani mal should eat more corn and more oats." The wisdom of this advice will be at tested by any practicing physician fa miliar with the . nerve-wrecking rav ages of the high-pressure moa diet consumed by most Americana. If a na tion reflects the characteristics of the food that tt eats, surely we have much to gain from a change which wllj bring to the masses of the; people a,' better ntuJUv and larsvr broDortlonoAe Quan tity of (jrholesoma' nutrition; 1 particu larly nitrogenous master, and a amaBer percentage of worthless animal tissue disadvantageous even aa filling. The PtUstoa Gasatte makes a plain thre appeal to Oaagresamaa ttelsenrlas; not to Jeopard WHkes-Barre's chances) of getting a new federal building by working against the probable chairman of the next senate committee on public buildings, Senator Quay. This Is equiv alent to asserting that Mr. Quay pror- poses to use his position of United States senator to pay off the scores In curred In this state fight. Unless we are mistaken a John ibetsenrlng. tie will not be frightened by any such threat as that. lie could 'better afford, to erect a building In Wllkes-Barre at his own expense than to barter hla manhood for the promise of Quay's help. Besides, the United States senate might have a word 'to say on this point. should It arise. Senator Quay and his lieutenants talk loudly about ths Ingratitude of ltepubllcans who have received favors ut the hands of the senator and now Uervrt htm. but at the same time they plead with Republican to 'betray (lovernor Hastings after having received favors at his hamnls. There are fow Republicans any where ire the state who do not ad mire Senator Quay's many excellent qualities as a party leader, but thoughtful Republicans can see o good reason why their admiration for the senator should make It necestury fur them to assist In a movement to humiliate the man whjm they elected gownr.or of the state, when he has done nothing to deserve humiliation. The Philadelphia Inquirer credits to The Tribune the following words, which never appeared In Its columns and never entered Its thoughts: "The real strug gle Is between the Martln-Magee com bine and Quay, and If thero had been no auoh thing as a Superior court Judge ship to sway the sentiment of Lacka wanna county there can ba no doubt that it would have declared strongly fcr Vnlted States Senator Quay." Has 6he Inquirer begun to falsify Its records In behalf of Senator Quay? lute Wednesday evening there came by the United Press a dispatch from Old Forge, N. Y., purporting to chronl- cla the remarks of ex-PresMen!L Harri son objecting to a renomlmrtlon. Two local papers printed It, notwithstanding that the manager of the United 'Press sent orders to kill It, 'Now it is again denied, all of which goes to show that the campaign liar has found himself urn able to respect General Harrison's civil request to be let alone during the period of his brief vacation In the Adl rondackJ. iMr. Finn's happiness In the face of de feat betokens the seasoned campaigner. The people think more of one euch philosopher than they do of a hundred wallers. If the Quay claims throughout the, commonwealth pan out as they ttave In this county, the opposition to Hastings nest month will not be even interesting. It Is significant that while the Quay forces ore shouting for a compromise, the administration forces keep right on getting new delegates. This sort of thing will be calculated to make Joseph feel as if he would like to remain on the other elde. It begins to look as If the Quay move ment In Lackawanna county had come to a dead halt. The Wllkes-Barfc Leader says The Tribune Is for Cameron. The Leader is getting funny. There ts one thing to be said about Messrs. Phillips and Atherton. They deserve it. Ths fate of the kickers' revolt In this county ought to teach some persons a lesson. That postmastershlp-In-the-busii will be likely, we should fancy, to remain there. Representative Farr should carry the news to the flcranton Republican. Now for the Third dtatrlct, and may repentance seize the hindmost. One thing Is beyond dispute. Quay brought It upon himself. 60 far as Wade Finn Is concerned, he was told so long before. The returns are well calculated to fill Mr. Dale with dole. Quny was udoubtedly hurt by his style of champions. COMMENT OF THE PBESS. A Isndor Whom All Can Trust. Norrlstown Herald: "The strength or Governor Hastings With the people of Pennsylvania may be Judged by the fact that those who are now making war upon his administration, are obliged to dis semble their real purpose and to assert that they have no Intention to antagonise him as permanent chairman of the state convention. ' They profess to deplore ths bad company with whom be Is associating, but they perceive the drift Of public opin ion so plainly that they consider it good policy to affect the greatest respect for Hastings nt the same tlms that they are trying to srevent him from having any Influence in ths management of the party which nine months ago elected him to the position he now holds by the largest ma jority ever known In Pennsylvania. Re publicans who have at heart the Interests of the party and the public, recognise In Daniel H. Hastings a man abovs the or dinary politician whose ruling motive In all that hs does is his own private ad vantage, In whose mind self Is ever upper most and the good of the community a merely sooondary consideration. The so ber Judgment of the Republicans of Penn sylvania, when It shall come to bo record' ed, will be found overwhelmingly In his favor, Just aa It was at the election of No vember, IsM. No display of so-called shrewdness on the part of Ms antagonists can blind the members of the party to the fact that Governor Hastings Is a leader whom they can trust, and they will rally to his support In such force aa to assure a complete triumph over those who would disorganise the party tor their own selfish purposts." II II II Colonel MeCala's Opinion. Interview In Philadelphia Bulletin! "There was no trouble In the party until Senator Quay precipitated a fight by b Ins a candidate for state ohalrman. Col onel Ollkeeoa was ohairman, and there was no necessity whatever for a cnange. There would Have bttn peace In the party tor Quay sot wanted a eaaago. His candidacy has caused this trouble. Thers will bs as sonpromlse that In volves the withdrawal of Ootoael OUke- The only ooaaproaslaw possible Is based ob ths withdrawal of eaator Quay. It Is evident to very one," continued Colonel McCain, "that all this compromise talk comas from ths other aids. It Is In dtugod la by Quay's friends, sot by us. If, as they claim, they can wla this light, what do they want to compromise fort Any schoolboy can see how 11 logical their position Is." 11 n 11 Hss Bees Pally Rewarded. Wllkaa-Barre Times: "The sole reason advanced by the supporters of Senator ljuay for his retention la power Is that he haa done so much for the Republican party that he ought now to be allowed to have his way even though hs be In error. We grant that Quay In times past has done much for the Republican party In the way of winning victories In state and national campaigns, but he has always been well paid for his services. During the many years In which ha has been In control of the party ln thta state. In con junction with Cameron, his side partner. he has controlled nearly all state and federal patronage. Not only this, but he ha In most Instances dictated the nomina tions for state offices. He has made poli ties his sole business for the past twenty live years and during that time haa accu mulated a comfortable fortune." II II II Should Be Called Down. Olyphant Oasette: "Some there are who will claim that It would the better serve publlo welfare to give Quay his way now; but If the man has acquired such com plete control of the political wires as to make himself a dictator at whose very word all must bow. Is It not better to face his enmity and receive his thrusts now than to wait until the times would be less auspicious for such a movement? Senator Quuy In this state occupies tlio same po sition that lloss Piatt does In New York, and It Is solely due to the tatter's un scrupulous machinations that New York Is a doubtful state Instead of a firm Re publican one, and that many a good and worthy man has suffered publlo humilia tion and defeat." II II II Questions Worth Considering. Philadelphia! Press: "Is this icurious Democratic support of Senator Quay prompted by a regard for Republican wel fare? Or Is It Inspired by the belief that this Is the best way to serve Democratic Interests? How does it happen that these Democratic papers are so unanimous and so earnest for ti. nator Quay, and so anx ious that Republicans shall turn down the Republican administration that they have Just elected by an overwhelming major ity? It Is because they remember that the mitt-Hastings domination of 1890 resulted in Democratic victory before the people. und that the Hastings leadership of ISM was crowned with an unparalleled suc cess?" II II II ' Absurd Cotnpromiso Talk. Norrlstown Herald: "Finding them selves defeated at every point where there Is a contest on delegates to the Republican state convention, those who are attempt' ing to wrest tho control of the party or ganisation from the very competent humls In which It now rests are calling lustily for a compromise. The kind of compromise proposed, however. Is so re markably one-sided as to excite mirth among all friends of fair play In Pennsyl vania politics." II II II Would Thoy Still Praise Ulm? Wllkes-Barre Record: "Suppose Quay should be elected chairman of the state committee, will the Democratic papers who now praise him so highly keep on praising him, or will they face about and eall him names as they have for years and years? To be consistent they should keep right on supporting him. But who ever heard of a Democratic organ being consistent?" II II II Not Anxious to Compromise Philadelphia Bulletin: "Up to the pres ent time there has been no suggestion of a compromise of any kind from the Hastings forces, and there Is not the slightest likeli hood that there will be. It Is evident that there Is no occasion In that quarter for any such display of woakness." , it II II A Veteran of tho First Order. OlvDhant Record: "John H. Thomas, clerk of the courts, asks no odds of any man. His excellent fight In Carbondale has proved him a Veteran of the first or der, and a general or aamirame skiii. tie got the delegateshlp to the state conven tion with flying colors." II II II An Embarrassing llnndlefp. Philadelphia Bulletin: "Even support ers of Senator Quay are disclaiming re sponsibility for Cameron, and are inti mating that he ought to be thrown over. Tho longer that handicap la carried the heavier It becomes." II II II Ilossism Is Doomed. Oiyptinnt Record: "Those who say that Lackawanna county is a Quay county, will revise their Judgment. Bosslsm Is doomed and It Is time it were banished." II II II A Pertinent Question. Wllkes-Rarre Record: "It Is pertinent to inquire, now that Quay claims tho Lackawanna delegates, why he fought them so fiercely." THE YORK CONVENTION. President Warren, of the Pennsylvania Rnpublican league, has Issued a formal call to the clubs In the league to send delegates to the eighth annual league convention, which will be held In the opnra house at York, Sept. 13, at 10 o'clock a. m. The ratio or representation win be three delegates and three alternates from each qualified club. No club, undir the constitution, is considered quaiiuea unless It shall have paid all claims for dues to within ten days of the convening of the annual convention. The business of th convention' will in olude reports from the officers of the league, the election of officers, a discussion of league work, the formation of a plan of campaign with special reference to the congressional districts In the presidential year, tlms and place for holding the next convention, and such other questions as the convention may deem proper. Ef fort Will be made to try to secure clubs In every congressional Idlstrlot, whoso work, auxiliary to the regular party ma chinery, will enable, the party to win In the great contest of next year. It Is the privilege of the league to be first In tho Hold to prepare the way for the work of that campaign. II II II "Now Is the time," as the call says, "to make ready tor the struggle, not for tho electoral vote, that's sure, but for a solid delegation, If possible, In the lower house at Washington. We ought to begin at once a campnlgn of 'organisation and education' throughout the commonwealth on a platform broad enough to attract from all parties ths men who believe that the principles, policies and aspirations of the Republican party are best tor uia po pie of the country. All voters In the state In sympathy with the above, are cordially Invited to Join the Republican league cf Pennsylvania, and, through clues now or. ganised or to be formed In the coming weeks, participate In the elections or dele gates to the State league convention at York. We appeal to the young men In the several counties of the commonyealtn to take advantage of the peague plan of or ganisation and form clubs With special reference to tne campaign ox raw." II II II It Is proposed to get through with the routine work of ths convention at as early an hour as practicable. . Addresses will be made to the convention by some of the ablest platform speakers In the United States, Including oenerai v. a. MCAlpin, president qf the Rcpublln National leasue! Hon. D. D.

Tollord Royal, England, July fc-I have been strolling around today, In the neigh borhood of my English home, and In my perambulations I have visited an ancient relic, a mound or bulwark thrown up In the time of Julius Caesar when the Ro mans invaded this lovely Isle. It was an Inclosure of about six acres with the land all around It, and Inside also as level ns Wyoming avenue. It was In tho form of a circle with a ditch on the outside and the earth from the ditch thrown up, form ing an embankment from twenty-live to thirty feet In hvlght and evidently tho work of human labor as a fortification against the Invading foe. About three miles from thoso trenches, and there aro several of thorn, there was once a large cemetery, but no one within the recolluc tion of the gr.-at-great-grandfathers, had ever heard that there was a village or a town near by. II II II The dumb Inhabitants of this mound are supposed to be the vli-tlnis of those early wars and many skeletons wore once found In all sorts of positions, some lying on their backs, somo with face downward, some on their side and some almost stand ing on their heads, supposed to be thrown in hulter skulter into a pit from six to ten foot deep. There wero also pots and pans, and kettles, and Jugs, and pitchers, and various kinds of cooking utentfllH and chalk weights and other things too numerous to mention. Since writing the above I have seen all thoso articles, and also the skeletons thut have been ex humed, some of them as perfect as though they wenu burled but yeBtorday. The lord of tho manor has established a museum only about two miles from where our people live, in which ail thoso ar ticles are to be seen and thousands more especially agricultural Instruments that wore used by the Kgyptians, Greeks and Romans five hundred years ago, with a host of relics of tho dark a km. man traps and spring guns and tread mills, and In struments of torture from the Inquisition and Idol gods from idolatrous nations; showing forth the folly ot the human, race. upon religious questions. I also saw gold and silver coins that were made In the reign of Tiberius, the Caesars, N?ro and Canstanvine. The Romans came over to England about llfty-fivo years before tho advent of Christ, fought the native llrrt ona, and their priestly drulds conquered tho nation, but when the northern hordes were swarming down upon Home they left th British Isle a prey to tho Sax ons, with some Christian churches nnd thousands of their doad behind. I suppose the Romans erected a multitude of those grand cathedrals which for ages have been used for church purposes. On Thursday of this week I celebrated tho Fourth of July, our Independence Day In America, by taking a stvcn-mile nde on a picnic excursion 1 wun ounaay scnooi children. Wo visited tno ruins or an old castle that was built In the thirteenth cen tury with walls of solid masonry five feet thick. Cromwell, the great, when regula tor of tho affairs of the nation besieged It with one of his armies and the building was so impregnable that a woman, the wife of Lord Arundell, with her household servants defended It for weeks until tholr provisions and ammunition gave out; and we saw some of the cannon snots inai were found In the castlo after the sur render. II II II We have heard and seen a little about the glory and the shnme ot England since we came over, about the meaningless snob bery and titles of English landlords, such as lords ana aunes ana viscounts. iur neighbor owns 36,000 acres of land In this and the adloinlng county, and poor men are working In the hay and harvest fields for 12 shillings a week about 3, and boarding themselves. While I admlro the rural scenery of my native Isle, I detest the long stride or distance placed be tween capital and labor, and must say of America, my adopted home: "My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Long may thy rocks and hills, Long may thy brooks and rills With freedom ring; And all acknowledge Thee, Great God, our King!" Respectfully, John Davy. Tollard Royal, Wiltshire, England. WANTED TOBE WICKED. Mme. de Longuevllle. a beauty of Louis lhs Fourteenth's time, was tired to deatn of being In Normandy where her husband was.
