SCKANTON, JULY 23, 1S05.
The effort of the Quayltes to oppose
Governor Hastings In his own county
was good deal larger on paper than
at the primaries.
Pave Mulberry Street.
The grading of the Mulberry street
approach to the boulevard Is now prac
tically completed, and the next que,
tlon that naturally arises Is, when will
Mulberry street 'be paved?
There fortunately cannot' ibe any dif

an early paving- of 'this Important

the standpoint of 'those who wish to

This) was not dealing Juatly by them,
nor was It the kind of "loyalty" that
Pemwyhratria Republicans care to have
repeated.
(Senator Quay will probably not soon
feave another opportunity to "starjd by
Stlsr friends" at the expense of the
Arty's welfare

and a coroner are .to be elected' next

. The English Slump.
' ' . The British elections turn out to be
'. a good deal more one-sided than amy
' body wanted. Joseph Chamberlain's
ptan, H now transpires, was to defeat
the Liberals by such a narrow margin
Chat the Conservatives would have to
depend upon his handful of Ltberil
Jnlonlsts for their majorities. In this
way Joseph expected to bag; his pick of
the choicest cabinet seat?. This pro
likewise bed Lord Salisbury's
cordial approval, for while it would
have given undue prominence to the
Ohmmberlafn following. It would at the
same time have kept the Conservatives
keyed up to m wholesome tension sel
dom present when party majorities are
. targw. .
But neither scheme carried. The peo
ple gave the Tor!e almost as big and
consequently as unwielJy a plurality,
proportionately, a their prototypes, the
American Democrats, had in the Fifty
fourth congress! and the cunning Mr.
Chamberlain finds himself, alack, at the
head of a following which) could go over
. In lump to the Liberals and yet not
defeat the new ministry. Just what has
" caused the big slump is partly, at least,
a matter of conjecture; but the London
' correspondent of the Sun has his own
eolnfon. "The search for the true ex
planatlon of the great rout of the Lib
eral party is furthered materially," he
ays, "by the people themselves. They
re afraid that their action will be In
terpreted falsely, and that It will be as
"ertbed chiefly to opposition to Irish
V. Home Rule. It Is significant, therefore,

different or opposed."
Americans, looking on, can only hope
that the mother country will have less
reason to regret their "temporary
change" than they themselves have had
since their similar change In 1892.
We learn from the Wllkes-Barre
Leader that "Scranton has no such at
tractive suburbs as has this favored
town. She has stretches of wild lands,
turgid and desolate reaches of tangled
and sandy marshes, but nowhere can
she show the delightful harmonies that
nature has supplied on Wllkes-Barre's
every hand." The Leader probably re
fers to the Kingston tluts.
The Battle In Susquehanna.
Advices from Susquehanna clearly
Indicate that the Independent, self-
respecting Republicans of that staunch
Republican county are revolting against
the bargain entered Into without their
knowledge by the halt-dozen men
who responded to Senator Quay's sum
mons when the latter was In this city
two weeks ago. General Hastings has
for a number of years been a favorite
In Susquehanna county. Five years
ago the two delegates to the state con
vention wvre pronounced 'friends of
Senator Quay and It was supposed they
would vote for Delamater for governor,
but popular sentiment was so over-
whtlmingly in favor of Hastings that
they plainly and frankly told Quay It
would te Impossible for them to sup
port IVlamator, that to do so would
result In a revolt.
The Quay adherents are now laboring
to make capital against Hastings by
using his veto of the Hardenbergh bill
providing for the refunding to the coun
ties the annual bonus of $10,000 paid
Into the state treasury by the Krle
Railroad company. By shrewd and
tricky misrepresentation they have suc
ceeded In Impressing some unthinking
Republicans with the Idea that 'the gov
ernor has done Susquehanna county a
great wrong by vetoing that bill. The
more thoughtful paople give the gov
ernor credit for being actuated by a
high sense, of duty .In vetoing the bill
referred to.
Susquehanna courtty has no cause for
complaint even If she does not receive
from the state treasury her proportion
of the Erie bonus. That county pay3
into the state treasury as taxes only
about $S,000 annually, while the records
show that she receives from the state
appropriations annually amounting to
1S3.000. The Intelligent portion of the
people of Susquehanna certainly are
not so unreasonable as to And fault
with a condition of things so favorable
to them. No county In the state pays
less In proportion to what It receives
from the state than does that county.
The sum Involved by the Hardenbergh
bill was Insignificant, and but for the
fact that a principle, which the gov
ernor felt In duty bound to respect, was
presented he would undoubtedly have
approved the bill. The governor knew
that In vetoing the bill In question he
would offend certain people In Sus
quehanna county, but he did what he
conceived to be his duty without refer
ence to personal considerations. For
such manliness, thoughtful men will
honor him.
People of smaller caliber than those
who Inhabft Susquehanna county
might be Influenced by the misrepre
sentations and llshonest appeals of
the Quay leaders, but the intelligent
and fair-minded Republicans of that
county will not be Impressed by the
attacks on an honest and conscientious
governor for an act In which his sense
of duty as the chief magistrate of tho
commoTuwe&lth was dn conflict with
what was at best only a petty local In
terest. The battle Is on in Susquehanna
county, and the Republican masses will
again assert their manhood as they so
often have In the past when battling
with the representatives of the worst
class of machine politics. Susquehanna
will stand In line with the other coun
ties of northeastern Pennsylvania In
defense of free and manly Republican
ism and honest methods in our state
politics. The other counties all around
Susquehanna have thrown off the bur
densome yoke, and Susquehanna will
do likewise.
Speaking In behalf of the Canadian
Unionists, Professor Ooldwin Smith re
quests American friends of political
coalescence not to complicate the ques
tion of Canada's future by abuse of
England. So far as we can discern,
however, comparatively few Americans
Just now are taking much interest in
Canada, one way or another, much Iras
getting excited because of England's
suzerainty.
Sunday Closing In Ootham.
The hubbub which has arisen among
the lawless elements In New York city
because of Police Commissioner Roose
velt's determination to enforce the Sun
day closing law in Ootham has caused
a number of Republican politicians to
take affright lest this brave perform
ance of an obvious duty should be the
means of causing a loss of votes. It Is
interesting to notice, 'howevert that
Mayor Strong does not share their per
turbation. In a published Interview he
says:
"As to this new polloe board, I am
not going to express myself. They were
appointed to do their duty, and if they
fall they are answerable to the law. I
see that they are having a hot time of
it, and all i want to say now Is that It
is best to have this question of whether
or not a law should be enforced brought
before the people at this time, bo that
they can think H over carefully and
well before election day. They call upon
m to Interfere with Roosevelt, How
can I, so long as he is merely carrying
out the law? If be were evading It or
nvaklnr. St the means of blackmail for
hlE party, as bther police boards have
done, he could be called to account; but
I cannot say, 'Mr. Roosevelt, you must
Ignore the lawt 1 never Intimated that
I wculd do such a thing.- The legisla
ture is the place to look tor redress If
the law Is oppressive."
The refusal of the officers of the law
to enforce a law tu a direct step toward
anarchy. And yet. thousands of ordin
arily level-beaded citisens are heaping
abuse on Mr. Roosevelt for simply doing
what tie took a solemn oath to do-
namely, enforce the law. If the law Is
barf, that Is not bis fault He Is not
clothed with power to make or suspend
laws at will. If be should Issue orders
to the New Tork police force not to try
to enforce the law against burglary and
theft, how quickly would these same
critics howl at him? Yet K is Just as
clearly President Roosevelt's duty to
secure a thorough enforcement of the
Sunday law as it Is to secure a thorough
enforcement of any other law on the
statute books'.
It is strange to us that anybody of
8T.S3 should fall to perceive this.
Senator Quay has a perfect right to
aid Senator Cameron to a re-election.
Perhaps, in view of all the circum
stances, he Is under distinct obliga
tions to do so. Rut he has no right to
use the machinery of the state organi
sation In such a direction, when party
sentiment Is manifestly hostile to Cam
eron. And he can have no Just causa
for complaint If the party, having
grown suspicious, shall put it 'beyond
his power to turn its weapons against
Itself.
Significant Action.
The county committee of Wyoming Is
controlled by Quay influences, which
sulilclently explains the remarkable and
revolutionary action taken by that body
on Saturduy last The delegate to the
state convention was elected several
months ago, before Senator Quay had
Inaugurated his war on the Hastings
administration, and subsequently every
means at their command was employed
by the Quay adherents to induce the
delegate to declare in favor of Quay.
These efforts having tailed to influence
Delogate Northrop, the county com
mittee was called together and resolu
tions adopted Instructing the delegate
to support Judge Rice for Superior court
Judge, Hastings for chairman of the,
convention, and Quay for chairman of
the state committee. The committee
threatens to call another county con
vention and elect a new delegate If Mr.
Northrop refuses to be governed by the
action of the committee.
This was done by direct orders of
Senator Quay. It will be observed that
the committee discriminated against
Judge Wlllard, of Lackawanna, clearly
Indicating, what has all along been be
lieved and alleged, that Senator Quay
Is Inimical to Judge Wlllard. Inasmuch
as six candidates for Superior court
Judges are to be nominated, the Wyo
ming committee could have endorsed
both Wlllard and Rice, or, in fact, all
six of the present Republican Judges.
The anti-Quay delegates elected In
Lackawanna county will undoubtedly
support Judge Rice as well as Judge
Willard, and so will the Luzerne dele
gates, but the Quay adherents In Wyo
ming county, if they had the power,
would discriminate against Judge Wll
lard In the state convention. The Lu
zerne Republicans will not be Influenced
by this latest move of Senator Quay.
Luzerne and Lackawanna must pull to
gether In this fight and make common
cause for Judges Willard and Rice.
Quay would dereat both, ir necessary
to attain his own ends. lie Is fighting
for Quay and for nobody else. The
Lackawanna Republicans have demon
strated that they understand the situ,
atlon correctly.
The Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer nom
inates Congressman Lelsenrlng for gov
ernor In 1898. This Is another slap at
J. A. Scranton.
In Justice to Senator Porter.
Senator Porter, of Philadelphia, who
has been subjected to a vast deal of
ignorant abuse for his alleged "deser
tion" of Senator Quay, has at last re
plied to his critics. Among other things
he says:
If there Is anything in this world that I
am not. It is an Ingrate. I have always
stood by my rrlcmls, recognizing the fact
that a man In politics must do that. I
have been personally acquainted with Sen
ator Quay since 18C8. and I challenge him
to point to one slngl favor he ever did
me, or any ono man he ever had appointed
to olllce for mo or at my solicitation,
while, on the other hand. I have voted for
his candidates and helped him In any
way within my power for many years. 1
was not for Penrose for mayor. I told
Quay this many months before the nomi
nation, end I told Penrose. I also told
Quay It would be a mistake to nominate
Penrose, and also told the Junior senator
that he had no right to dictate, or at
tempt to dictate, the nominations In Phila
delphia. I have always been for home
rule In Philadelphia. A I said before. I
owe Senator Quay nothing. If you ark
him he will tell you the same thing, as he
know he has yet his first favor to do for
me. I merely want to explain my posi
tion and prove that If there was any In
gratitude at all It was on Quay's sldo and
not mine.
This statement has many times been
corroborated by Senator Penrose him
self. Mr. Penrose never charged Sena
tor Porter with treachery. They are
open enemies, but the one has no rea
son to complain of the other's lack of
frankness. Senator Portef was all
right so long An he happened to be
traveling in Senator Quay's direction.
When he branched off, he became all
wrong. The Quay people do not have
much time for persons they cannot
own. '
The Republicans of Susquehanna
county are not the kind of men to sit
quiet while presumptuous so-called
leaders contract to sell their favor
without authority.
Brother Francis.
In contrast with the contemporary
struggles of many men and women for
personal advancement along the lines
of business, politics or social etrlvlng,
stands out an example narrated in the
current number of St. David's Guardian
the example of Frank Owen Jones
who, by a special service held in St
Luke's church, July 2, was formally ad
mitted Into the Brotherhood of the
Good Shepherd, as "Brother Francis."
It is the plan of Brother Francis, as
we learn from the Guardian, to obtain
m borne on the outskirts of the olty,
wKth some land to it The home is to
provide accommodations for convales
cents, and the ground, in a measure. Is
1o be cultivated toward their keeping.
The work will be entirely unaectarian
and, therefore, a common good for all
the churches, (Brother Francis, having
assumed the vow of poverty; Is corn
spelled (or tm furtherance of this self-
sacrificing purpose to tely upon tne
generosity of local philanthropy; but
we have no doubt that he will not have
to ask la vatn for aid In behalf of such
a worthy enterprise.
The world at targe woukt probably
be none tho worse) off If some of the
surplus energy which is now wasted,
say. In politics were diverted to chan
nels similar to that 'occupied by
Brother Francis.
For thirty years the Cameron and
Quay power in state politics kept Oa
lusha A. Grow, of Susquehanna county,
on a back ahelf, because be refused to
do their bidding. In his prime, when
he bad a national reputation as a states
man far greater than any other Penn-
sylvanlan, Grow was relegated to pri
vate life, and kept .there for almost a
generation because those who had con
trol of Pennsylvania politics feared to
be overshadowed. The pa me methods
are being today applied to young Re
publicans like Governor Hastings, John
Dalxcll, Colonel William A. Stone and
others of brains and force who are nat
urally rising to the surface. Such ris
ing Republicans must be kept down In
order that men lnflnltely their Inferiors
In every respect may retain their pow
er. The time seems now to nave come
when this tyrannical regime will be
broken and younger Republicans given
a fair chance m the racd for honors and
distinction. Governor Hastings Is fight'
ing a battle far fair play for the younger
Republicans of Pennsylvania, and that
battlo is going to be won.
One would Judge from the local col
umns of the esteemed Scranton Truth
that It amounts to an offence for
friends of the administration In 'Lacka
wanna county to evince interest In the
campaign for fair play in Susquehanna
county. We do not believe, however,
that the Truth's view Is shared by the
Republican masses In our sister county.
They are awakening to the fact that a
half-dojsen politicians have contracted
to deliver their vote to Quay; and they
naturally desire to be consulted before
any such contract shall be consum
mated.
"The one and only effective way
of ridding the party for good of any
responsibility or semblance of responsl
blllty for Cameron and his vagaries.'
as the Philadelphia Bulletin forcefully
points out, " Is to get the party organi
zation out of the hands of tho men who
are ready to compromise the convic
tions of Republicans for his sake and to
use It In his interest This will be one
of the most wholesome results of the
anti-Quay movement." And evasive
letters cannot conceal this patent fact,
While General Harrison Is to all ap
pearances lifting no finger to further
his own political Interests, he would be
a bold men who would presume to be.
lieve that the ex-president will not be a
commanding factor in next year's con
ventton.
Now that the honorable Richard
Croker has taken pains to deny that
he contemplated deserting America,
the bird of freedom will clearly be
Justified In indulging In a loud, long
scream.
The Quay men of Wyoming county, In
Ignoring Judge Wlllard's candidacy
probably acted under suggestions from
the Quay headquarters. If they did not
their oversight would be difficult to ex
plain.
The cry that the defeat of Quay
means the sulbsMtutlonof a worse party
dictatorship foais no foundation In fact.
Governor Hastings does not aspire to
be a boss. He elmply wants fair play.
Congressman Lelsenrlng Is not likely
to suffer much In the estimation of his
constituents for refusing to be bull
dozed by the Quay threat, to smash his
Wllkes-Barre publlo building bill.
Collector Cooper's Idea of a compro
mise Is ingenious. He would be per
fectly willing to give Hastings the
shell if Quay could make off with the
kernel.
As a repudiation of Cameronlsm It
seems to be the consensus of opinion
that Senator Quay's letter was not a
success.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Delegates Are What Count.
Phlledalphla Press: "On Saturday morn.
ing the I'ress printed a table of delegates
to the coming stat convention elected
since Senator Quay declared open war on
the present Republican organisation. It
showed that ten delegates had been elect
ed In behalf of Hastings and Ollkeson
while Quay and Cameron' had secured
none. Six more delegates were elected on
Saturday and are to be added to the
count, which now stands as follows:
For Hastings and Oilkecon 10
For Quay and Cameron 0
This embraces all the delegates elected
slne Mr. Quay declared war by announc
ing himself as a candidate for chairman
of the state committee. Such delegates ss
the Junior senator can count upon were
elected before any purpose on his part to
humiliate tne mato administration for its
attitude on the apportionment Issue had
become publicly known There may he
counties that Mr. Quay can carry, but
they have not so far been reached. .The
sixteen delegates above Indicated rome
from the following named counties: Clear
field, I; Lackawanna, t; Sullivan, 1: Cen
ter, 2, and Northampton, 4. Delegates are
certain to count more when the ballot Is
taken In the convention than all the bluff
ing our Democratlo-Quay contemporaries
can get off between now and Doomsday."
They Should End the right.
Norristown Herald: "Senator Quay and
his reckless and unscrupulous supporters
have It In their power to put an end to
this unseemly contest which has gone too
far already. If they have any regard for
the Interests of the Republican party they
can very readily promote them. All that
Is nacessary Is that they shall cease their
assaults upon the Hastings administra
tion and tho party organisation. As good
Republicans, which they clam to be, no
other course Is open to them. This Is es
pecially to be commended to them, sines
there Is not the slightest hope of success
for Senator Quay In. this unfortunate con
test. He has already been defeated, his
followers have been In the minority In ev
ery county that has chosen delegates to
tho state convention slnoe his candidacy
was announced. Under such circum
stances, his duty as a loyal Republican Is
plain. He should withdraw from a can
vass which can only worn injury to tne
party. He should retire from a contest
that ought never to have been com
menced." '
II II II
How tn Ratals) His Hold.
Carbondale Herald: "The election of
delegates the past week resulted In a de
cisive Hastings victory. It Is now stated
that Quay, will retire from the race and
that everything 'win pass off smoothly.
Tarn would be best for all concerned un
less It should be taken as an abdication
of state leadership fay Mr. Quay. If he
bow steps quietly aside he may be able to
so arrange matters that tils hold upon his
party shall be Increased. If he tights the
Battle to the bitter end and Is defeated
as bow seems probable. It will b. years.
If ever, before be wilt aaln control the
dominant party of this state.
II II II
A Humiliating. Confession.
Pittsburg Times: "Senator Quay at.
tempts to make It appear that his slngulur
lat-'k of support among the delegates
elected to the state convention ts due en
tirely to the fact that he did not know
that war had been declared until too late
to protect himself. It ia a strange plea
for Matthew Stanley Quay to make that
be had been caught napping while his
opponents were busy. If it were true It
would be a ead blow to his following, for
It would show most clearly that their
chief had lost his old-time cunning, and
that they could no longer hno to look to
him for successful If adershlp."
11,11 II
Senator Quay's Koal Purpose.
Philadelphia Press: "Not a pretense of
a reason has been given bySVuntor Quay's
friends for seeking to depose Mr. Ollko
son. Their real reasons they dare not
avow; there are no others they can In
vent; so they have remained silent. The
actual reasons are two-fold: first, they
want to punish Mr. Ollkeson for standing
by th governor In tho effort for appor
tlonment; and, second, they want to get
possession of tho Stute for Iheir own fuc
tlonal purposes. To these assertions they
have not even attempted an answer."
II II II
Kesults are HccInIvo.
Philadelphia Press: "Tho results up to
data are decisive. The campaign tins gone
overwhelmingly for Clovernor Hastings,
Blnca the announcement of Senator
Quay's candidacy for chairman every
delegate elected has been ugalnst him.
Tha sweeping current plainly marks the
conclusion. The Republicans of Penn.
eylvanla will stand by their stuto uJmlnls
tration.". Always a Credit to Scranton.
From the American.
Tho Scranton Tribune says: "During the
four years of Tho Tribune's existence it
has been the aim of Its founders and con.
ductors to give to tho poople of northeast
ern Pennsylvania a good, clean, whole
some newspaper, having convictions and
tho courage to express thorn, but call
ing no honest opponent ugly nnmea nnd
bleeding no candidates for office as the
price of its support. They are satisfied
with the experiment's outcome, nnd are
determined to push steadily ahead. Now
Is the time to subscribe." We can fairly
end fully Indorse every word in that edi
torial paragraph. The Tribune ts a clean,
wholesome newspaper, always manly and
outspoken In Its utterances on behalf of
the right, and always a credit to Scranton.
