The vindtctttlott of Governor Hastings
meant an end of Delamaterlsm. Po
th Republicans of Pennsylvania want
that?
Party Dtpotlam to Doomed.
The assertion of Mr. Magee that If
the supporters of Colonel Ullkeson con
trol the coming; convention, they will
pass a resolution declaring It the be
lief an policy of the Republican party
of Pennsylvania . that, fitness having
proper consideration, appointments to
federal offices outside of the classified
civil service should be made upon the
recommendation tof local Republican
organisations. Is a significant and time
ly one, and will no doubt have a whole
some Influence upon the pending state
campaign. As the Allegheny loader
adds: "No president nominated and
elected with the powerful help of Penn
sylvania Republicans will misunder
stand or fall to heed that notification,
and nobody who cannot get the support
of his Republican neighbors will be re
warded with office for rubsrvienee to
any self-constituted dictator. This
declaration will no doubt be repeated
and emphasised In the state convention
of 1895, and the United States senator
to be elected as Senator Quay's col
league during the next Republican na
tional administration will unquestion
ably be pledged to Its enforcement."
The abuse at which Mr. Magee alms
baa become especially flagrant In this
state, where the sole test of fitness for
federal, as well as state, preferment for
-long period was not personal merit
or loal standing, but simply and singly
acceptability to the ruling political
powir behind the throne For a decade
It hap teen true In Pennsylvania that

erne time things went so far, unless cur
rent reports are greatly In error, that
no contract could be let In any of the
city departments of the Quay-bossed
cities of the state, particularly Phila
delphia, without the receipt of word to
the effect that the Junior United States
senator "had no objections." From the
position of Janitor up to that of mayor
and governor, every public place was
istJ as a weapon for the fighting of

his personal favorites and their friends.

The Young Men's Opportunity.
Tht" remark was recently made by a
Republican of sta.te prominence that tho
success of the aiasttngs administra
tion In Sts preenit effort to liberate the
r arty In Pennsylvania from a distaste
ful personal dictatorship would be of
b.ni fTt Co the ioliler party workem
since lit -would relieve many of them from
the hitherto Insuperable bar sinister of
lack of "rull" with the "boss;" but
th M It would be of the utmost Import
ance to th yoivnjr Republicans who are
Just entering upon th? threshold of
political activity. Th! gentlemaa ex
plalnei his la tter assertion by adding:
tvhiiA it la iinfnrtunnto. It ts neverthe
less a fact, that for twenty-five years at
least, tne young men nnve nui nu a
show In polities In Pennsylvania. This is
easily proved If you look back for that
length of time. A long time ago "Bob"
Mackey, of Pittsburg, was the political
1. nt Pnnnavlvnnlll. H rilled the
state Just as Quay hus ruled it for the past
eight or n'.ne years, ine r unnw
was also a leader then, and when Mackey
died, the Camerons, father and son,
stepped in and they ruled Pennsylvania
Just as they liked. The elder Cameron
ai n n.i rwn ha nrMAiii Rpnktnr. did not
care to wrestle with tho rough ends of
politics and wattnew tjuay aiBiipeu
, Ain..n.i atnto trpflnurcr. This
gave him the pull that landed him In the
United States senate, ana irom ami um
on no state ever knew such a supreme

state' In the palm of his hand, and has
held it until now wun a nrm grasp,

i.uu.,n A,i, h.iil nn ehnjice to show his
political prowess, and the old fellows had
it all their own way.
v,i. th i now besinnlng, look out
for the young man. He Is a comer.
ThK In colloaulal phraseology, ex-
preases what any person who 13 even cas
ually familiar witn me po""
of Pennsy 1 vaala knows is ho tru th. In
the earlisr days f his leadership Sen
ator Quay was accessible to the people
and kept In close touoh with them. In
these diys, young men of brightness
and discretion etood some chance In
state politics. Most of his present lieu
tenants were then attracted to him,
Mia 4hv were yet young and ambi
tious. This Is true of Colonel Wat res,
of Johm P. Elkin, of Ben Haywood, of
General Reeder and of scores of others
(Throughout the commonwealth. Those
were Senator Quay's brightest and
palmle.it days. Irt those days he was
not a tyrant, but a leader. He courted
public sentiment and did not rebuff
those who come to him fresh from the
people.
How different, though, has been the
situation sinse the ascendancy of Will-
tern H. Andrews. The Quay of yester
day arid the Quay of (today are as unlike
as Hyde was unlike Jekyll. In his old
age, the senator has grown arbitrary,
intolerant, suspicious; he has closed his
ears to tho wishes of the people, who
still are far from unfriendly; he has
permitted a clique of obsequious flat
terers to itrade upon his prestige for
their own enrichment a4 almost, If
not qulbe, to his own undoing. And the
only young men who stand a show of
preferment are such as care td follow In
he train of roysterers like Penrose or
of egotists like Willing Leach, and ac
cept ths crumbs that these worthies
deign to bestow.
The young Republicans of Pennsyl
vania, have nothing to lose end every
thing to gain by the success of Gov
ernor Hastings In the latter's fight for
the party's liberation.
We can assure the Independent Union
of Mine Workers of America that It Is
not alone In its .desire to have coal
prices advanced. The present selling
prloes may be fun for the bankrupt
Reading railroad and one or two other
earTHEH' corporations which swell their
freight revenues at the expense of their
mines; but there to nothing In them cal
culated to inspire the honest coal oper
ator with a desire for thetr continuance.
If the Independent Union of Mine Work
ers can secure ai better adjustment of
coal prloes than now prevails, It will
establish a large claim to public grot
tude. .
It will, we think, be generally con
ceded thait a better appointment than
that of Samuel H, Stevens, of this city,
to be prothonotary of the Superior
court for the Scranton district could
not have been made. Mr. Stevens will
perform its duties with he same fidel
ity and efficiency exhibited by him In
private life, and thus thoroughly vin
dicate tibs wisdom of the selection.

U a fair challenge, which obviates the
r.?eet-o;y of an extra election and extra

Dolegate Ford, of Wayne county, has
Issued a denial of a recent assertion
that he was instructed for Quay. He
was chosen delegate before Senator
Quay began his war on the state admin
istration, and consequently Is free to
act In accordance with his best Judg
ment. Congressman W. A. Stone Is not cor

By prolonging rthe fight Mr. Quay will
simply needlessly endanger his own fu
ture. One-man power, once broken, is
seldom regained.
The great trouble with air. Quay's
con.ica! attempt to evade the Cameron

him.
THE DELEGATE rROMAYYOMlNG.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Some of the tactics pursued by Sena
tor Quay's representatives In Wyoming
county are of a nature to reflect no
credit upon them; It is. in fact, not un
likely that they will result to their mis
fortune. One Incident Is of very gen
eral Interest, as the question raised by
it may reach the state convention for
determination, and there can be but one
way to determine It justly. As far
back as last January, when it was nec
essary for the Republicans of Wyoming
to hold a county convention to nom
inate a candidate to fill a congres
sional vacancy In the Fifteenth district,
It was concluded as was perfectly
proper under the party rules to eleot
a delegate to the coming state conven
tion at the same time. R. P. Northrup
was elected such delegate, although hs
had not sought the honor and there had
been two other candidates. The result
was entirely satisfactory to the Repub
licans of the county. The Quay sup
porters In Wyoming knew at the time
that Mr. Northrup was an anti-Quay
man, but Senator Quay had not then
started his war on the governor, and
they were not much concerned about
the delegate. '
They have acquired some Interest
since, however, and are taking Indecent
advantage of the fact that Mr. North
rup had neglected to get his credentials
signed by the officers of the convention.
These officers all lived outside the
county seat and it was not convenient
for him to see them until a short time
ago. The president of the convention
did not hesitate a moment to perform
his obvious duty In signing Mr. North
rup's credentials, but the secretary, F.
I. Wheelock, refused to put his signa
ture to them for no other reason than
that Mr, Northrup would not support
Senator Quay In the convention. This
is a moat extraordinary position for
a mere secretary of a convention to
take. Mr. Wheelock is very naturally
called upon by Republicans of Wyo
ming county to explain by what right
the man who accepts the place of sec
retary of a convention refuses to per
form one of Hs simple duties. There
was no agreement when this secretary
was chosen that he should sign the
credentials If the delegate was a Quay
man but refuse to sign them If he was
an anti-Quay man. The plain fact Is
that the secretary was elected to per
form mere clerical duty and not to at
tempt to bully the del-gate elected. We
should Judge that Mr. Wheelock has
made an unfortunate mistake as to
the functions of a secretary.
What does he expect to accomplish by
such petty behavior? It would be pre
posterous for him to suppose that he
can either drive Mr. Northrup Into a
change of position or deprive him of the
seat in the convention to which he Is
entitled by regular and undisputed
election. No Republican state conven
tion, no matter by whom controlled,
could afford to assume responsibility
for such an injustice to the whole party
as the refusal of Mr. Northrup his seat
would be. There need be no fear of
that. With the undisputed facts of his
election and the signature of the presi
dent of the convention to his certificate,
Mr. Northrup will get the seat to which
he Is Justly entitled. Nor will any such
tactics as have been attempted have an
Influence In Inducing Mr. Northrup to
change his position. He Is not the sort
of man to be trifled with In that way.
He has opinions and judgment of his
own and the courage to stand by them.
CHAIRMAN GILKESON'S ANSWER.
"Senator Quay's response to the let
ter of Chairman Smyth, of Wll Mann
port, has already been published," says
the Philadelphia Presa, "It waa a re
sponse that did not Umswer. Senator
Quay did not say whether he is for or
against Senator Cameron's re-election.
He innocently pleaded that he did not
know whether Mr. Cameron Is a candil
date or not. The reply of Mr. Ollkesom
to the dame inquiry is printed this
morning. It Is a reply which answers.
It Is . direct and explicit where Mr.
Quay's response is evasive and) indefi
nite. Mr. Gllkeson ta.ys distinctly and
squarely that he "cannot favor Camer
on us a candidate for the presidency
nor as a senator from Pennsylvania to
succeed himself." Hs bases his opposi
tion upon the (broad ground of pirbHc
principle. He opposes the free coinage
of stiver at the ratio of 18 to 1 and holds
that such a policy would (be disastrous
to the great material interests of Penn
sylvania; and, as Mr. Cameron supports
that policy, he regard himself as ibound
by every oonsiderutlon of public honor
and safety to oppose his re-election.
All this Is mimiy, explicit amd unequi
vocal and It will meet the approval of
the Republicans of Pennsylvania.
"But Air. gllkeson says another thing
which Is 'timely und pertinent In this
contest. In these expressions he has de
clared his personal oonvlottonsv which
he wttl enforce toy his personal Influence
within Its legitimate scope. Suit he
rightly says that "th party organisa
tion: belong to tit whole partyart to
any person or faction hi
not m ny Judgment toe wssd ta carry
oat the personal oplntoos or prafersBoes
of any state chairmao." Ha adds that
it "should leave the select km of Re
publican candidates to th free choice of
Republican voters at their primary elections.-
This la a Just doottsns which
needs so be assarted and emphasised at
this time. It marks the broad distinc
tion between the spirit and purpose
which underlies the Ctendtdaoy of lir.
Qllkesoa and those which underlie the
candidacy opposed to It. There was a
time when the state chairmanship was
misused In precisely the way thus de
scribed. Every- (Republican in the
state remembers It with shams ani km
dignatton. It was when Mr. Andrews
wss chairman and prostituted the
whole organisation' to personal and fas
tiorul purposes; and the present move
ment against Mr. Oi Ik is on is ons which,
if succetafuJ, will put (Mr. Andrews at
the front again,
"The letters of (Mr. Quay and Mr.
Gllkeson wlil serve to define sod a harp
en the Issue of the contest the one by
Us obvious evasion of the crucial ques
tion, and the other toy Ma distinct and
eutlefactory answer. The central ques
tion propounded to the two related to
Mr. Cameron's candidacy for re-election
to the senate. That question becomes a
central issue of the contest. Mr. Quay's
evasion will toe accepted as Indicating
t'H i t he imans to stand by Mr. Cameron
and (Mr. CMtkeson's explicit answer ap
peals to all who are opposed to Mr.
Cameron's further misrepresentation of
Peir.insyivanla."
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Wot with Him This Tims.
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph? "Tha
proposal that the Allegheny county pri
maries shall be tield over again Is a re
freshing mid-summer suggestion which Is
harl.Iy seriously made. Since Senator
Quay feels assured of a majority In the
state convention, which he calculates at
79. he does not need any delegates from
Allegheny county, besides those he has al
ready, and If he did It la not likely that he
would get them were the cost and trouble
of another election aasumed for his rratl
flcation. Senator Quay has many friends
In Allegheny county and when he rids
himself or Is relieved of the burden of
Cameronlsm he will hava many more,
but In seeking an Indorsement for his
course In opposling apportionment and In
fighting the state administration by a
coalition with the Democrats, his candi
dacy meets with no favor In Allegheny
county, outside of the circle of his per
sonal friends, whose attachment Is proof
against anything."
II II II
The Pnrtv's DM to Hastings
Wllkes-Barre Record: "It must not be
forgotten that It Is to our gallant gov
rnor that we are mainly Indebted for
this deliverance from a political bondage
that has been so galling for years. Cam
eron would have been dumped long since
if it was not for Quay, and If the gov
ernor had not quietly cut the latter's
comb he would have undertaken, not only
to elect Don to the senate again, but
would have actually Intrigued to secure
our delegation to the national convention
for him. Heaven save the mark! But the
governor by his courage and Independ
ence has aaved the party this humiliation,
and If he does nothing else In his whole
public career but relieve the party of
Cameron and check Quay s growing ar
rogance, he will have done enough to en
title him to the everlasting gratitude and
devotion of his party."
II II II
Planning ncspsrsts Taetles.
Harrisburg Patriot: "There Is a rumor
that one of the political surprises yet In
store will be the meeting of the state
committee on the night before the con
vention. The object of this meeting, it is
reported, is to dethrone Bank Commis
sioner Gllkeson in order to secure the or
ganisation of the committee and tho dis
tribution of the tickets, as well as the con
trol of the hall. Senator Quay has prom
ised to give his reasons on the floor of the
convention for his flfrht for state chair
man, and he Is said to believe that It would
not be good policy to have the opera house
packed with the claque of his opponents
to howl him down. The story goes that
Lieutenant Governor Lyon will be tem
porarily elected state chairman."
II II II
The Exact Issne.
Philadelphia Press: "Mr. Quay says the
question Is 'whether B. F. Gllkeson or I
am the better qualified for the chairman
ship.' But, with all respect, this Is an er
ror. That Is not the question. Either one
of the two Is sufficiently well qualified.
The choice between the two as Individuals
is not In the slightest degree tho Issue.
The real question Is whether Mr. Quay
shall be elected In the Interest of Mr.
Cameron's return to the senate and In
hostility to the state administration, or
whether Governor Hastings and hla ad
ministration shall be upheld by the Re
publicans of the state."
II II II
The Deal Will Be Kepudlatod.
Philadelphia Press: "The statement Is
made editorially by the Scranton Tribune
that when Senator Quay was In Scranton
ne sent for a few of his adherents In Sus
quehanna county, and entered Into a bar
gain by which the two Susquehanna dele
gates were promised him. What the rent
of the Republicans In the county think
about It has not yet been learned. Our
contemporary thinks there will be open
revolt when thsy have been made ac
quainted with the details of the bargain,
and It promises to print them."
II II II
Will Kick the Scliorae Over.
Wayne County Independent: The
Scranton Tribune threatens to expose the
sale of Susquehanna county to Quay by
about half a dosen ring Republicans who
went down to Scranton on Quay's Invi
tatlon. Susquehanna county has a good
many solid, sensible Republicans who
have been restive a long while under the
ring yoke and the Indications are that
there will be a lively contest In our neigh
boring county."
II II II
The Cameron Handicap.
Philadelphia Press: "The re-election of
Cameron Is everywhere regarded as de
pendent en the success of Quay. Cameron
may not win even If Quay wins; but If
Quay loses Cameron Is surely lost. That
is the Inevitable lorlo of the situation, tt
handicaps Quay with Cameron, and Mr.
Quay Is so conscious of ths dead weight
that he seeks to throw It oft as far as ths
xlgenoles of ths oass will permit."
II II II '
Csaaot Us Balldoted.
Wllkes-Barre Times: "Ths Scranton
Tribune says that Congressman Lelsen-
rins? Is not likely to suffer much In the es
timation of his constituents for refusing
to be bulldosed by the Quay threat, to
smash his Wllkes-Barre public building
bill. Hardly. Mr. Quay Is going at Lu
serne county In a very Indiscreet manner.
We might be tattled but we nevtr can be
bulldosed." .
THE MAKING OP BOOKS.
From the Washington Post.
Ths number of books published In the
United States Is not so reliable an Index
of general business conditions as ths
amount of pig Iron produced, but It Is,
nevertheless, a fairly good pointer. For
example, hi 1893 there were 4,281 new books
brought out, and anough new editions of
old books to bring the total output up to
MM. That was ths yssr of the panic, but
the depression wss not Very seriously felt
till ths year was far advanced, and many
books were In the printers' hands whoas
publication had been decided upon under
better financial aspects,
Ths rear UN opened uader slooaiy con
dltloas. The shelves of publishing houses
and book stores were loaded with unsold
wares. Ths stocks os band wars literally
iBJSssaaa. Ceaseqaently there was a
marked faille off In tcia tiat of new books
pot en the market, the fatal being MB, or
including new editions of old books, 4.4M.
Trade reports Indicate much larger sales
la UN than la the year next preowung It.
for the revival of business began early tn
the second half of the year.
THere Is never any serious danger mat
the country will suffer from a scarcity of
sew books, especially la the lines of ro
mance and poetry. If one In a hundred of
the new books annually printed Is worth
reading the pro port ion Is higher than the
estimate of well-informed peraona places
It It Is, perhaps, fortunate that the paper
sow used In cheap books, and In some that
are not cheap will soon decay. This will
prevent the handing down to posterity
of worae than uaelesa trash, while tt will
not occasion the loss of anything worth
preserving, for new editions will be Issued
as often as they are demanded.

Keokuk Constitution-Democrat.
The number of English words which
have no rhyme in the language is very
large; live or six thousand at least are
without rhymes, and consequently can be
employed at the end of the verse only
by transposling the accent, coupling them
with an Imperfect consonance, or con
structing an artificial rhyme out of two
worts. Among other words to which there
are no rhymes may bo mentioned month,
silver, liquid, spirit, chimney, warmth,
gulf, sylph, music, breadth, width, depth,
honor. Iron, echo. When the ordinary
rhyme grinder stumbles over one of these
It makes him reach for his hair.
THE ISLE OF BOREDOM.
As you ssll through life take pains and
steer
Away from tho Island that lies too near
The Isle of Boredom, which all men fear.
The Island sets up like s shelf of rock.
But woe to the sailor who lands at the
dock
And offers the people a chance to talk.
For they talk all night and they talk all
day;
And try as you will to get away,
They pin you down and they make you
stay.
They talk of the things thoy have done
and said.
They talk you awake and they talk you to
bed.
Till you almost wish they would talk you
dead.
And the queerest thing, and one to de
plore. About the dwellers upon that shore,
Not one of them knows that he is a bore.
So steer away from that Island shelf.
That is governed, they say, by a wicked elf.
Last you be a bore and not know It your
self. Rochester Post-Express,

Everyone needs shade protec
