Not Happy Reply.
Senator Quay's response to the ausr-
gentlon of iMr. Ma gee .that the next state
convention should by resolution declare
for home rule) in federal appolntmentta.
wHhouit the meddlesome interference
of state patronage brokers, Is not fe
licitous. He says: "Magee's statement
should be supplemented by a, cull for an
amendment of the United States con-
itltuUon. That provision declares that
all federal ofucehohlers shall be ap
pointed by the president, 'by and with
the consent of the senate.' It is in or
der for the suggestion of an amendment
declaring that Instead of the above pro
vision, all federal fllces In Pennsyl
vania shall hereafttr be filled by the
president, 'by and with the consent of
the Hog Combine.' That is absolutely
necessary to the success of the nerw
move, because ithe United States sen
ators may take a notion when they see
all thisd nominations forced by the Hog
Combine coming tn for confirmation.
tihat perhaps they would be exercising
constitutional duty in holding a few
of them up." '
This sounds like the bravado of a po
litical trtekstr-r rather than the argu
ment of a man who feels a sense of re
sponsibility to the people. It Is on a
par with the insolent taunt of Boss
Tweed, who, when confronted with ev
idences of his own political debauchery,
wanted to know what ithe people were
going to do about It. Tweed thought.
a.3 Quay appears to think, that the peo
ple have no Influence In affairs of gov
ernment, ar.d that the only "Hog Com
bine" is the corciblnaitlon of citizens
who object to being made the football
of bow Ism's Indolent dictation; but the
sequel proved that Tweed was wrong,
Just as It promises to prove in this state,
that positions of public trust are not
the exoluslve property of a querulous
and vindictive party autocrat, to be
used by ihim in punishing party ambi
tion and tn rebuffing popular senti
ment, ' ' ' '
There are in the senate of the United
States enough men of honor and char
acter to effecttvely resent, should the
occasion present itself, the Insinuation
of Mr. Quay tha his personal grudges
or political debts must be cancelled, at
will, by a majority of his fellow-sena
tors, regardless of the sentiment of the
community , directly affected. We do
not believe that jit. . Quay , la) a big

The Kindergarten's Real Purpose.
Inasmuch assaveralllllnola cities have
by popular vote rejected the option ex
tended to them under the term of the
recently enacted Bryan free kindergar
ten law. . the Chicago-Times Herald;
which Is an earnest and effective
champion of klndorgarten Instruction,
thinks It is "barely possible that many
of tha most sealous friends of our com
mon school system are laboring under a
misconception of the true scope and
character of kindergarten training. To
designate kindergartens as 'fads' or 'day
nurseries' la an egregious error.
"The schools planned by Pestaloxsl
and founded by Oberlln. It ht true, were
day asylums for young children, the
benefit of which was Intended no less for
the mother than the child. But Froe
bel's Idea of the 'kindergarten.' which he
Invented and named, differed essen
tially from that of the Infant schools,
and It Is (Voebnl's Idea that has been
Incorporated In the American kindergar
ten. Froebel believed that the natural
restlessness of a child necessiltatea for
It constant employment, and as this em
ployment generaily takes the form of
play, the play should be so organized
oa to draw out Its capacities of feeling
and thinking and even of inventing
and creating. In addition to possessing
the Imitative faculty, another marked
characteristic of the child Is his love
for the society and sympathy of com
panions. Ills growing moral nature.
passions, affections and conscience need
to be controlled, responded to and cul
tivated. Froebel held that the essence
of all educatloa was to be found In
rightly directed but spontaneous ac
tion. He taught the child not what to
think, but how to think. By the sys
tem of games which he Invented the
senses of sight, sound and touch are de
veloped and the introduction of muslo
and rhythm tend to cultivate the artis
tic faculty 'Which In aifter years beau
tifies the home and ennobles every en
vironment of life. . Such training gives
the child-mind a receptivity that enables
tt to grasp easily and understanding
the more advanced Instruction of the
public schools.
"The education that seeks to pack the
child's mind with erudition that Is sel
dom retained In after years Is not educa
tion. To educate Is .to Mead out' the
faculties, to place the mind under a sys
tem of exercise and discipline that will
render efficient the natural powers. The
kindergarten is the embodiment of this
Idea."
So long as tt did his autocratic bid
ding, tha "Hog Combine" was all right.
Senator Quay never abused It In the
halcyon days when he was using It to
pull his own chestnuts out of the Are.
But now that they have declined to
obey his suicidal orders, the Philadel
phia and Allegheny politicians are a
pack of hogs and thieves, who dally
give the virtuous Mr. Quay a severe
pain, not'to speak of bankrupting his
stock of horrified epithets. Ah, sena
tor, do you think you are fooling the
people?
It Is another significant Indication of
the real feelings of the Quay shoulters
toward Judge Wlllard that the PIttston
Gazette, whose editor stands closer to
Senator Quay than any other Journalist
In Northeastern Pennsylvania, Is open
ly engaged in traducing IMr. Wlllard
and In opposing his candidacy. Tet

QUAY AND CAMERON.
From the Philadelphia Press.
There are two things upon which we
suppose all Republicans of every shade
will readily agree. The first la that
Mr. Cameron is reasonably certain to
be a candidate for re-election to the
senate if he has any chance of success.
No one can blame him for this. Re
publicans may condemn him for mis
representing the state. They may crlt
Icizo his incapacity and Inefficiency,
But If he can persuade or delude or fool
them Into returning him, the fault Is
theirs, not his. The second thing
which will be generally recognized by
all Republicans, no matter what their
preferences, is that, If Senator Cameron
Is a candidate for re-election, Senator
Quay Is reasonably certain to be for
him. Nor is he to be blamed for this,
any more than Mr. Cameron is to be
blamed for desiring to hold his seat.
He has a perfect right to be for Mr.
Cameron If he chooses. It would be
surprising If he were not. They have
been more than, colleagues more than
personal -friends more than political
associates. They have been the closest
allies and partners In all party move
ments. Under such circumstances Mr.
Quay's loyalty to Mr. Cameron Is taken
for granted as a matter of course.
There are only two grounds upon
which he could withdraw his support.
The first would be a radical variance
with Mr. Cameron In his political opin
ions, But they are not at variance. On
the'eontrary, they are In substantial
accord. Senator Quay may not go to
Senator Cameron's extreme upon th
free silver question, but he has never
disguised the fact that he has much
sympathy with Mr. Cameron's view.
The second ground which would excuse
him In opposing Mr. Cameron' re-election
would foe that the mass of Repub
licans are opposed to it. But If the .Re
publicans, with hi known advocacy of
Mr. Cameron, should put Into hi hand
the whole party organisation at th
very time Mr. Cameron' re-election 1
pending, would he not be warranted In
construing It as Indicating that they
were not tn earliest against Mr. Cam
eron and as Justifying hi support?
It was thus perfectly natural that
Mr. Quay in hi recent letter should re
fuse to declars himself against Mr.
Cameron. He wa frank enough and
courageous enough not to commit Til m
elf to a position which he does not
mean to take. Be means to stand for
Cameron and he would not say other
wis. This I so far to his credit But
he cannot find fault with Republican
who do not agree with him In favoring
Cameron for being unwilling to give
him th power to re-elect Cameron. He
must eonosde to them tha same tight
which he claims for hlmaalf. He asks
to fee fijaced m a fiojiUoa where he tu
turn the enginery of th party organlza
tlon to Cameron' support; and he can
not Mams Republicans tt they object t
giving him that machinery tn Cam
eron's Interest. It is not a question aa
to himself sersonaMy: it la a question ss
to whether he shall hold tha party
treasury and the party leverage for
Cameron a benefit
It tat a creditable thing In Mr. Quay
to decline to declare himself against
Mr. Cameron when he Intends to sup
port Mm. But ha la altogether mis
taken la saying that Mr. Cameron's
candidacy "can In no wise be affected
by the pending controversy." Why not?
His candidacy Is already on. It Is an
Immediate, present, palpabla Issue. One
half the stale senators who vote on
his successor were sleeted last year,
The other half and all of the house
will be elected next year. The chair
man of the state committee chosen at
the August convention will bold the
machinery through all that fight. Why
doea Mr. Quay want it? Not to save
Pennsylvania, for that is safe. Not to
save himself, for he haa four years yet
in the senate. Why due he want tt
except to get the machinery for other
purposes? Will not the machinery In
the hands of a Cameron man b a great
advantage for Cameron? And if the
Republicans of Pennsylvania are not In
favor of Cameron'a re-election, why
should they make such a colossal mis
take?
COMMENT OF THE PBESS.
To Abolish Party Dictatorship,
Pittsburg Times: "The threats, which
Senator Quay and his organs have been
making concerning the patronage to be
dispensed by tha next Republican ureal
dent, are galling and mortifying to every
Republican proud of bis American citi
zenship. Senator Quay, we are told, will
bo the absolute dictator of all federal ap
pointments, and If any are made not
agreeable to him he will have them tfe
feated or hung up In the senate. Further
than that we are assured that no city or
town In the state will get a public build.
lng unless Its delegates vote for Senator
Quay for chairman of the coming state
convention, and are ever after subservient
to his autocratlo will. These threats are
an Insult to every self-respecting Repub
llcan and should be sufficient to convince
all yet In doubt that It Is high time to put
an end to a system which makes their ut
terance possible. Senator Quay takes ex
ceptlon to this statement of the purposes
of the friends of Governor Hastings and
Colonel Ullkeaon, and declares that they
overlook the provision of the national
constitution, which declares that appoint
menti shall Be made by and with the
consent of the United States senate.
This provision, he evidently Intends to
convey, would operate to render nugatory
the proposed action of the state convea
tlon. iSonntor Quay himself, however.
overlooks two vital facts first, that he
Is not the United States senate, but
only 1-S8th part of It, and, second, that he
will, when the next Republican president
takes office, have as his colleague from
this state In the senate, a Republican who
will represent and obey the wishes of the
Republican voters as expressed by their
state convention. In that event an ap
polntment made on the recommendation
of the majority of Republican voters In
the particular locality concerned, - by
Republican president, and approved by
one of the Republican senators from Penn
sylvania, In obedience to the will of the
party's state convention, will be In strict
accord with the constitution of the United
States and the spirit ot rue Republicanism
everywhere. Senator Quay will very
quickly find that appointments so made
cannot be defeated or hung up, and, if he
persists In Ignoring the will of his con
stituents, they will see to It that he him
self Is replaced In the senate by a Repub
lican who will observe his constituents'
wishes."
' II II II i'- '
Missed a Good Opportnnltv.
Philadelphia Press: "The Democrats of
Xuierne county have missed a good
chance to do a most creditable thing. In
stead of waiting until the Republicans
have nominated a candidate to succeed
Judge Rice, Just appointed to the Supe
rior bench, they have already nominated
a candidate of their own and thus pro
claimed their purpose to make a partisan
contest regardless of the kind of candi
date who may be presented by the Re
publicans. The fact that the two common
pleas Judges on the bench In the Luzerne
district are Democrats It makes particular
ly appropriate that the Judge to be elected
this year should be a Republican. As the
Republican nominee will be elected any
way, the action of the Luzerne Democrats
will have little effect except upon them
elves." II II II
Cooper's Prayer for Peace.
Towanda Reporter-Journal: "A slow
going farmer of Pine Creek, Tioga county,
had a business dispute with a neighbor,
and, being averse to strife, ho suggested
arbitration, which, with singular pervers

this refusal the man of peace said to a

Collector Cooper says: 'Let us have peace
and elect Senator Quay chairman by a
unanimous voto.' As the election of Sena
tor Quay is the Vital question In dispute,
the Hastings men are likely to regard tho
offer of peace much as the farmer's per
verse neighbor regarded his proffer of ar
bltratlon."

What the Bsttle Will Determine.
wllkes-Barre Times: 'The real Issue
In the Quty-Hastlngs misunderstanding
Is not whether Mr. Quay, Mr. Hastings or
Mr. ailkeson Is the better man, but
whether the chairman of the Republican
committee of the state of Pennsylvania
is to be elected In the Interest of Mr. Cam
eron's return to the senate and In hostll
Ity to the state administration or whether
the administration will be held up by the
Republicans who placed It In power. Go
ing a little deeper Into the matter It means
whether Mr. (Cameron shall have, through
Mr. Quay's manipulation, Pennsylvania'
delegation to the next national conven
tion."

Quay's Bogus 8top Tblef Cry.
Pittsburg Times: "The troth Is that
Senator Quay having heard that efforts
to debauch delegates In his behalf had
become known to the friends of Gov
ernor Hastings, and fearing the effects of
an exposure of them, ha deemed It sood
politics to forestall matters by raising the
cry or bribery against bis opponents. But
the scheme will prove as futile to stay
the tide of defeat, which Is dally pressing
more strongly and Irresistibly upon him,
as have all his other tactics to date. The
character, or rather lack of character, of
the present attack only serves to show
how strongly hs realise th desperation
of hi cause."

son will receive the votes or at least 17S
of the 23t delegates In the Republican state
convention for chairman of the state com.
mlttee. Those are The Tribune's figures.
Major Warren and William Connell
have engaged rooms at the Commonwealth
for the state convention. The Quay head
quarters will be, aa they have been for
years, at the Loch lei hotel. Senator Quay
will have rooms there; so will Senators
Tnrase. Gundy . lex-Magistrate Durham
and others of the anti-adnnlnlst ration lead
ers In Philadelphia.
Governor Hastings friends now claim
they will have 184 delegates In the com
lng state .convention and substantiate
their claims with figures. These figures are
based on an estimate made by the 1'hlla.
deelphla Ledger recently In which 145 of
the 289 . delegates are put down for the
administration, 117 for Senator Quay, six
teen as doubtful and eleven unaccounted
for.
Yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer quotes
an unnamed Quay lieutenant from Scran
ton as authority for the statement that
"from $10,000 to S15.0UO was spent In Lack
awanna by the enemies of Benator Quay.
The assertion Is ridiculous In. view of the
fact that tho Quay men, although aided
In one district by $4,000 of the senator's
own money, couldn't muster up a better
following than one In three. But how
these Quay lieutenants do like to muuk
behind anonymity!
Senator Osbourne, of Philadelphia, was
In Harrlsburg Wednesday and talked free
ly of the contest for state chairman. He
deplores the split In the party and Is
anxious for a compromise. The senator
believes it absolutely necessary for the fu
ture good of the party that Oovernor
Hastings and Senator Quay should bo act
ing In harmony. He thinks the best plun
for a compromise would be to unite upon
ex-Lieutenant Governor Watres, of Scran
ton, as the Btate chairman, which would,
of course, mean the withdrawal of both
Quay and Gllkeson.l The Patriot ouotfs
a "leading stnto official" as authority for
ine assertion that the governor "wants
Quay's friendship and his support, and he
would welcomo a compromise. He Is
eager to have the leaders agree unon
Watres; and others of his friends feel the
same." The assertion would, however,
carry greater weight If the name of the
alleged official were given.

LT. CAP
Clarence M. Flofe, the
sporting goods dealer of Wyo
ming avenue, has devised a
scheme to keep the boys in
terested in the matter of base
ball. With every ten cent
ball or bat he will now give a
fine cap and belt, which are
uniform. Among the hustlers
is Mr. Florey.
A SHADY SUBJECT

Everyone needs shade protec

that's as good as a tree for
shade.
