Then we advise Spain to look out. 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 enough man In the Senate ctaunber to orack th whip over faUow-ssnator tn f ugthcrance of b atttemes of factional vengeance, as ha baa managed to orack it over the beads of Pennsylvania legis lators and) state delegates tn times past. In other words, we do not beHev that an amendment no the Federal oonstt tttUoa to nidisir to gat a majority of t he senators of the Vntted Btaiea to consider presidential appointments on their merits. Instead of wfth reference solely to the political neceaaHles of one particular senatorial bosa The Carbondale Leader denies that Aklerman Jonesi who was formerly Its editor, has anythlos; to do with lt pres ent political policy. This (s contrary to the general Impression; but we dare say the Leader knows. 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 prttendato .be for Wlllard! 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 ity, the neighbor refused. In speaking of this refusal the man of peace said to a friend: 'I tole 'im I'd leave it to three men, and I'd abide by their decision If they done right, Want that fair, Arronr With the same Ingenuous fairness ex 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." II II II ' - ' 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." II II II 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." II II II ' ' . , . TwouldBeJnst Like Him. Philadelphia Press: "If Senator Qua keeps en with bis funny scheme for hold ing elections over again hs may soon propose that the election for governor be tried again, since he Is svldentlr not satisfied with what th people did last HovemDer, i t II II II ' i Quay Orgsss Bsdly PanlssV Philadelphia Bulletin: "The Quay or gan Just now seem to be pusiled a to Whether they shall stand up for Cameron or threw him overboard."

II II II Lsierae's Cbsses. Harrlsburg Patriot: "Another murder has been charged to Holmes. Now Is the opportunity for Luzerne county to un POLITICAL POINTS. The Harrlsburg correspondent of the Lancaster Inquirer says that Governor Hastings himself Is pledged to Cameron, Mr. Maee claims that Colonel Gilke. 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. Some days ago the Norrlstown Herald. desiring to know how Montgomery coun ty s representatives in the lower branch of the state legislature stood on the con test ror the state chairmanship between Messrs. Gilkcson and Quay, addressed them on the subject, asking them to de fine their position. Their answer Is given below: "In the unfortunate contest now being waged within the Republican party of the, state, we, the representatives of Montgomery county. In order to set at rest all doubt as to our position In the matter, do hereby unite In formally de fining It by saying that we are most heartily In favor of Governor Hastings and the attitude he has taken in the pres. ent contest. The unparalleled majority bv which he was elected nine months aao. the confidence In his leadershln whirh thot magnificent majority carried with it and his able administration since January, clearly entitle htm to the consideration and Indorsement ha seeks at the hands of the Republican party of the state."
