Ths Wllkes-Barre Times looks at the
lUading system's present attitude
-J toward the anthraoite trade wi.h a
.. tnuch clearer vision than Is possessed
by Its contemporary, the Reeor J. The
Times frankly recognizes that the pres
ent 'demoralized condition of the coal
. trade and the inability A Individual
.operator! to mine coal except at a
heavy lose are due entlr ly to the atti
tude of the Reading Cal company and
-, its reckless mlnlnvW anthracite wlth-
ut ref ard Jt supply and demand. It
v-i tjot because of Its ability to
ake-Zover 31, per cent, of the entire
production It should be allowed to mine
that much. Other companies can as
well claim a larger percentage than
- they are getting on the same plea be
' cause there Is not a single company or
: Individual operator, mining up to the
full capacity of Its or his plant, nor has
(here been for several years. The
Reading company Is mining coal at a
lose IB order to supply freight to Its
railroad.,. It has, through Inefficient
'management, acquired, more coal lands
; on credit than It can carry, and in des
peration at shortness of funds is resort
ing to every possible expedient to
eave Itself and meeMts obligations. It
Will never be able to do so except In
ease of a complete reorganization, and
In the meantime It will continue to be a
rankling thorn in the side of the legiti
mate coal mlnert."

A Remarkable Disclosure."
The Philadelphia Press yesterday
printed a remarkable story, the read
ing of which must inevitably cause a
revulsion of feeling among Republicans
hitherto friendly to Senator Quay. The
narrative shows thut the present coa
test grew, at least in part, out of the
Philadelphia mayoralty canvass. At
Senator Quay's wish a particular can.
clklute, Senator Penrose, had been slat
ed. But "a treat popular protest com
pelled a change. Senator Quay him
self assented to the change upon a dem
onstration that It was essential to save
Itepubllcanlsm in Philadelphia, and
thrn in the United States senate under
took to fasten a brand upon his friend
for the change to which he had himself
asreed. In that proceeding Senator
Quay, by his own act, separated hlm
relf from the Phlladelp' j forces whose
friendship, counsel and support had up
to that time constituted one of the chief
'elements of his strength.
"The rupture thus far was only local.
He had only driven away Philadelphia.
The rest of the state looked on with
regret but took no part and urged
peace. Hut peace was not permitted.
The light was carried to Harrlaburg.
For the purpose of coercing the new
city administration the movement was
made to Lexow Philadelphia. Its very
movers openly declared that it did not
mean investigation and was only in
tended as a club. Then came the war
on apportionment. Mr. Quay appeared
in person, combined with the Demo
crats, required his followers to disre
gard a regular Republican caucus, and
by this Democratic alliance defeated
the Republican measures. Philadelphia
had already been driven away, and the
warfare on apportionment drove away
Allegheny, which had a vital Interest In
it. This blow at sacred - Republican
pledges was followed by a blow at the
established and existing Republican or
ganization. Mr. dllkeson was chair
man with, the most successful record
behind him. J)own to the fight on ap.
portlonment there had been no whisper
against his continuance. But as a mem
ber of the rovernor'e cabinet he had
stood by the governor for Republican
pledges, and It was thereupon pro
claimed that he must be defeated. The
shaft fired at him was aimed through
him at the governor. As a manly and
honorable man the governor could not
do less than stand by his cabinet minis
ter who had led his own campaign &nd
who was marketC'Tforlldelity to
his chief. .
And so, ndtls the Press, "the element
w-re 'nevitaibly and unavoidably ar
rayed by a euccessWev of evil counsels
to which Sftpator Quay most unfortu
nately submitted Philadelphia "by the
angry repudiation and unforgiving re
sentment of a political necessity which
had 'been accepted only two days be
fore; Allegheny by the war cm appor
tionment which struck at her righila;
the governor toy the avowed attempt to
punish Mr. GHlkesoIre for the crime of be
longing to his admlnlri.iratlon. Thee
elements were all driven by the action
thus described to stand together. Now
comes the amazin climax. Conscious
of the strength of the Reuiblksan powers
thus forced -together by his ill-advised
counsels, Senator Quay said; "I cainnot
beat this combination, but I will break
It tsp. I will finl: puM out Warwick;
filllr.jr In that, I will pull out .Martin;
falling In thait, I will pull out the gover
nor; falling in that, I will pull out Ma-
gee." was the plan of a -bold strateg
ist. 11a not only eaJd it, but tried It.
He first saw. Mayor Warwick. He next
strange to say sought and held an
irv.ervlew wl 'h David Martkm Falling
in the second play as in the first, he saw
the governor. The fourth remains yet
untried,
"ThUln outline Is the story. Suggest
ive throughout, it to astonishing In
some of Its phases. It: may not be sur
prising that Senator Quay, adroit as he
is, should approach (Mayor Warwick;
but It is extraordinary, In view of the
peculiar pretensions of this campaign,
that he should seek and hold an Inter
view with David Martin! That at the
very time when hlssupporters are trum
peting his consent as a holy crusade
to eave the state from the grasp of
those who are decorously stlgimatlzetd as
the 'Hog Corrtblne,' Senator Quay
should ask a conference with luhat memt
ber who Is most denounced and Should
seek his support, this la, Indeed, a enost
remarkable disclosure. The profound
impression which this unexepected reve
lation will make upon the Republicans
of the state oaronob be overestimated."
Truly can It be said that the "match
less leader," the "Incomparable gener
al," is losing command of his accus
tomed coolness and sagacity. Alas,
poor Quayl '
- The Scran ton Republican objects to
The Tribune's exposure of the corrupt
bargain by -which a few Susquehanna
county politicians agreed to hand over
the two delegates from that county to
Senator Quay. Of course It objects.
The Republican would not' be consist
ent with its' own record If It didn't
object to a defense' of decent Republi
canism In Susquehanna county or any
where else in the stale. The Republican
thinks The Tribune ie "meddling" In
the affaire of oaf, aelghborlng county.
Well, that if oaly the narrow notion of
v.--..-.: '"v'-v
a narrow machine organ. The Tribune
is a newspaper, an exponent of Repub
lican principles, and the defender of the
lights of the Republican masses. Its
sphere of action is not limited to Scran
ton or Lackawanna county, or North
eastern Pennsylvania, for that matter.
The Republican can continue to plod
along tn its narrow track; The Tribune
covers a larger sphere of action.
Roosevelt to" HI Critics;
At as matter of cold Cast, Police Com-
missit.ner Roosevelt has his critics well
on the hip when he says: "It it is right
t) ioiate this excise law because a
large number of people want to violate
It, then It is right to violate any law
for the same reason. If it la right for
the poor man or for any other man to
vl-vlate the law In order to get beer on
Sundays, then It is right tor htm to
violate the law in order to get bread
on any other day. It is more Important
for him to get food than It Is for him
t ) get drink and there Is much more to
be said tn favor of the relaxing of law
for the sake of the hungry thief who
would steal bread than there Is. to be
said tn favor of the man who Is not
hungry at all, but who chooses to spend
on liquor the money he ought to keep
for his wife and children. The people
who have clamored for honesty in the
police department would do welt to re
member that the connivance of the po
lice in the old-time Illegal selling of
liquor was the most fruitful source of
corruption that there was In the police
department."
Xor is his other remark loss happy
that "It is amusing to look back and
see how many people told us that we
could not enforce the excise law. They
were all agreed that we could not do it,
no matter how hard we tried. They
called our attention to the fact that
Mayor Hewitt had tried tt and failed,
and that Superintendent Byrnes had
tried It and failed. Bo they said that
we must fall Well, we have tried it
and we have succeeded. We have en
forced thelaw.and we are going to go on
enforcing the law steadily and without
any change, save In the direction of in.
creasing ylgor. We stand simply upon
the platform of honest government, of
honest enforcement of the law, end our
opponents, however they may seek to
dodge the Issue, really stand In favor
of the dishonest enforcement of the
law. We fear only that the agitation
will cease. If It continues we have no
doubt as to Its ultimate results."
One of the Instructive features of life
is the frightful squealing and yawping
and vituperative abuse which vice al
ways gives vent to, the moment It
plunks squarely up against a public
official courageous enough to do his
full duty.
In a table in last Friday's Tribune
the vote of the Pike delegate and that
of both the Carbon representatives
were credited to Qilkeaor.. Later in
formation gives Pike and half of Car
bon to Quay. But this slight change
is more than offset by iha addition of
one Tioga and one BU'r delegate to the
Gilkeaon column, letv'ng the admlnis
tration still sixty-one votes ahead. This
Is a estimate that errs, if at all, upon
the conservative side. Senator Quay ts
beaten.
We learn from the Carbondale
Leader, which Is not edited by Alder
man B. S. Jones, that The Tribune's
"Ktory about Quay Intending to pro
mt te Cameron's ambition for the presi
dency Is the veriest rot. He would not
if he cculd and could not if he would.
Of course the Carbondale Leader
knows. '
By a slip of the pen in yesterday's
issue, we spoke of the Third district
primaries aa occurring on Friday, when
we should have said "next Saturday."
Fortunately the official call, published
in an adjacent column, neutralized the
mistake.
MB. MAfiEE TALKS.
Pittsburg. Aug. 29. To a staff corre
spondent of the Washington Star who
Is reporting tlie PennsyWatilft political
fleht C. L. Magwe said lasfweex: "inis
contest -with Mr. Quay was not precipi
tated "by those who are now opposing
him. Let me review the history of
Pennsylvania politics for the last few
years. We had seen the defeat of the
candidate for governor whom Mr. Quay
Insisted upon nomdnaiting against the
protests of mainy of his associates in
Republican politics. Ttie next man we
put up carried the state by a good
round figure and Republican prospects
begin to revive. We rolled up a larger
majority at the congressional elections
and In the election of a conirreeaman-at-large
simply swept the Democracy
out of sight. We whipped them sound
ly in the city elections at Philadelphia,
and the Democracy hia been on a
teady decline. Much of this was dons
under Colonel Gllkeson, as chairman of
the state committee. We knew hi
works aind wanted to continue hlm in a
position where he could keep up the
record he made for us. Then, at toils
juncture, in stepped Senator Quay with
the demand that he should. 4e made
Btate chairman. He came as a disturb
ing element and there was no occasion
for his Interference. The people resent
ed it and thut Is the cause of this oppo
sition to him."
"Then you maintain that Senator
Quay was the aggressor in this fight?"
"Why, certainly. At a time of pro
found peace and unexampled prosperity
In the Republican party he intruded
himself as a bone of contention to pro
duce factional frlotlon. No disturbance
in the party would have occurred had
he kept out"
"But why should- his eamdtdacy for
chairman of .the state committee be the
cause of discord In the party?"
Because he raises the issue at once
whether the Republicans, of Pennsyl
vania shall longer submit to the domi
nation of one man. He attempts to foe
the supreme dictator of all federal
patronage of the party, Irrespective of
the wishes and demands of the people
of the different sections who should
have a voice In the disposal of such
matters. ' He has contended that the
United States senators Should dispense
all the federal patronage, while others
believe It should be left to the party or
ganizations In the districts most direct
ly concerned. His plan will not do any
longer In this state, and the people de
mand a change. (Re endeavored to dic
tate the course of the party In Philadel
phia in electing the mayor of that city,
and when he was defeated In -his ad
tempt made an attack upon his political
la tea from the floor of the United
States senate. In every war recently
he has evidenced his determination to
t
become more and more of a political
dictator. Hie candidacy for the chair
manship .of the state committee simply
made aa issue where the people can
meet him and overthrow his political
despotism. He ttas Insisted upoa being
chairman and tnerevy forces the Issue
upon those whs stave grown tired of his
methods.
"In my opinion.'' added (Mr. Itagee,
"Quay will overwhehnmgly defeat
ed, and his dictatorship iwill be com
pletely repudiated by ths Republicans
of this state when they meet In conven
tion at Harrlsburg next month. The
tide la against him too strong for him
to breast it and he is sure to go down.
I have gone intb this contest in earn.
est and for the sake of the principle
that the whole federal patronage of the
state should not te controlled by one
United States senator or two, but that
the people should have a voice In Its
disposal. The threat which he made In
an Interview a day or two ago that he
would 'hold up' nominations In the sen
ate if he were not consulted tav their
making. Is but an indication of the fact
that he believes himself the sole arbiter
of the political fortunes of alt Pennsyl-
vanlana."
"What will be the effect upon the
make-up of Pennsylvania's delegation
to the -national presidential convention
in the event of Senator Quay's defeat T"
1 asked.
"That'a a year hence," replied Mr.
Magee, "and the first thing Is to defeat
him. Of course it would divide the
delegation, and no oro can tell at this
time what presidential candidate would
have the call on 'Pennsylvania's dele
gates. That will Ibe a matter for future
determination."
"What Is this talk of the possible can
didacy of your associate, Governor
Hastings?"
"He is not a candidate for the nomi
nation as far as I knuw, but, of course,
he could not get the solid delegation
because the Quay men throughout the
state would oppose him."
AUGUST SIGNS AND STORMS.
A Large Comet Coming Oreat Thunder
storms for Pennsylvsais, New Jersey
and New Yorjc Mat.
By Prof C. Coles, of Kingston, whose
monthly forecasts are being received with
the greatest of Interest, all over the coun
try, on account of their unprecedented ac
curacy in fulfillment. His sign forecasts
are the only forecasts printed in the whole
world, and they are meeting with a most
hearty reception everywhere.
. Storms. There is a etrainge combination
of unusual character throughout the
month of August, and tba approach of a
very large comet that is making for the
eanth at a rapid speed and will be near
enough to be seen with the naked aye be.
fore the first of November.
From the first to the 15th, threatening
and sudden changes; a hot wave followed
by a cool wave with slight frosts tn some
states; dark clouds, much bluster and an
unhealthy atmosphere, with hall, wind-
gales, cloudburstB, rain, cyclones and
floods In some localities. The autumnal
equinox will begin to show Its power soon
after the luth and will shower upon us
hot winds, followed by cooling breezes (in
cycles) then a wave of intense, excessive
heat that will produce great electrical
storms or earthquake shocks, followed by
cool wave. The Indications are good
for some hard storms in several sections
of the country. Hurricanes and cyclones
will be liable to sweep along the southern
coast. Strong gales will be felt in the
northern states, while cyclones, cloud
bursts, floods and a strange phenomenon
will visit the Southern and Western states.
The whole Atlantlo sea coast will be in
danger of tidal waves or cyclonic ocean
storms, reaching far Inland, yet may be
delayed until the fore part of next month
On or about the lth or 2Uth terrlno wind
storms and gales will sweep many sec
tlons of the country. Local thunder
showers will prove extremely severe this
month In some parts of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York states, follow.
Ing in the pathway of the strangest elec
trical currents.
Mars, the red warrior, will be tn sign
Leo, the destroyer of all vital force
causing bad tempers to rise at the least
provocation; and unless men and women
guard their tempers well, many quarrels,
murders and suicides will be the result.
Ths old country will be visited by de
etructlve storms, earthquakes, plagues
nd a disposition to war!
The "low ebb' figures being so much In
the majority this month foretells the com.
Ing of some epidemic, drought or insect
plague.
Hang these forecasts up whsre you can
consult them often; watch all reports of
the storms at home and abroad and see
how accurate ithey will prove to be.
SIGNS.
Venus will be In the sign Leo on the 4th,
Wars will be In the sign Leo on the 11th.
Jupiter will be in the sign Oemlnl on the
18th.
Saturn will be In the sign Libra on the
25th.

table as well aa human life will be at their
highest flood on ths 1, , 10, 11, 14, 15. 18. 19.
26, 27, and 28, and at their lowest ebb. on

24, 25, 29, 80 and 31st. The low ebb figures
being so much In the majority again, still
point to some approaching epidemic or
danger of some sort.
On the 19th and 20th will be the best time
to kill briars, thistles, weeds, etc., cut off
top and one-half inch of root, with hoe or
otherwise; the 22d and 23d will be next two
Dent days.
The best time to transplant celery or any
otner vegetable wu be on the 1, 9, 10, 11,
is or i. u ne proper time to plant any
k:nd of seed Is when the vital forces are at
their flood; and the time to cultivate Is
when ths vital forces are at their lowest
ebb. On the 18th or 19th will be the time
to sow turnip seed. -
Next month's signs will tell you when
to sow rye and wheat for grain and rye
for pasture, that will endure all sorts of

COMMENT Or THE PBE8S. .
Quay and His Blsekllst.
Philadelphia Bulletin: "One of Senator
Quay's Demooratio morning organs prints
a Washington dispatch to show that he
will be ' 'master of the situation concern
ing the prospective federal patronage.'
This Is one of ths favorite, allursmsnts of
Mr. Quay and his organs In their an Deal
for support The substance of It Is that
the next president will be a Republican:
that he cannot secure confirmation by the
senate for his nominations In this state
without the consent of the Pennsylvania
senators and that Quay, who will hold
over until 1899, will block all nominations
that are not acceptable to him. In other
words, Mr. Quay threatens virtually to use
his power In confirming nominations for
the purpose of making the fsdsral of
fices In Pennsylvania his personal pos
sessions. With the restoration of the Re
publican party IK national authority, he
proposes to blacklist all Republicans in
this state who now oppose his suction aa
chairman of the state committee. -The
federal civil service In Pennsylvania is to
be turned into a track patch for his adher
ents. The spoils at Washington will be
the future rewards of all who are now
faithful to him, and exoluslon from them
will be the punishment of those who now
have the temerity to disagree with him
as ts the management of the party organ
tut ion. Such Is the plain English of the
construction which must tie put upon the
studied efforts of his supporters to prove
that be will be master of the federal pat
ronage after March, 1897, as well upon his
own hints aa to what a senator may do
with obnoxious nominations. This threat
Is, of course, based on a low and mer
cenary view of polities. It is the spoils
doctrine In 4ts most offensive shape. It is
the tactic of the practical boas who has no
other argument for asking loyalty than
the hope of getting 'the offices.' If there
were any additional reason for opposing
Mr. Quay's pretensions In the present cam
paign, it Is the constant repetition or this
threat to control or to coerce the next Re
publican administration at Washington
Into submission to his demands. Of
course there are some possibilities that
may interfere with these assumptions.
It is quite possible that the next presldont
will not be a docile creature of Mr. Quay's.
It Is quite possible that he may contract
the habit, as Mr. Harrison had, at least
during the latter part of his term, of mak
ing Pennsylvania nominations on his own
Judgment. It ts quite possible, too. If he
should have such a habit that there may
be enough Republican senators to sustain
him In It, regardless of Mr. Quay's objec
tions. Dot whatever these possibilities
may be, It Is clear that now Is the time to
defeat any plan of proscription that Mr.
Quay and his friends may contemplate In
the future as a result of the next presi
dential election. The present campaign
against him aa a candidate for state chair
man Is founded on a demand for fair pluy
now and hereafter. It is Intended to put
an end at once and for good to the one
man power In the party. Its success will
make It Impossible for Mr. Quay to 'de
liver' Pennsylvania in the next national
convention as his pocket convenience or
to confront the Republican president with
the assumption that he is the only Penn
sylvania Republican whose wishes must
be respected regarding the affairs of this
state. Senator Quay would be wise If he
suppressed these threats of setting up a
guillotine In the senate In 1KU7 for men who
do not bow allegiance to his decrees.
They only strengthen the rfforts to make
him powerless to execute them."
' II II II
Quay's Success Mssns Cameron's.
Norrlstown Herald: "Were It not for
the near approach of the expiration of
Cameron's term In the United States sen
ate, the Republicans of Pennsylvania
would not have witnessed the desperate
struggle which Is now in progress to elect
Senator Quay to the chairmanship of the
state committee. But for the fear that an
unfriendly leader of the party organiza
tion In the state would render it difficult
to bring about the re-election of Cameron
to the position in which he misrepresents
the people of Pennsylvania, there is very
little doubt that Chairman Gllkeson would
have had no opposition to his honorable
ambition to remain another year In the
position which he has filled eo ably and so
successfully. He was fairly entitled to
such consideration, and it would have
been cheerfully accorded him without a
contest. The triumph of Senator Quay,
at this time, would be a step In the direc
tion of fastening upon unwilling Repub
licans the Cameron yoke for another six
years. No matter what protestations may
come from the friends of Quay, this may
be accepted as a certainty."

A Little Chat
With Housekeepers That
Want to Save Some Eloney.
Fall is near at hand, and you will perhaps need some
Curtains, either Lace, Chenille or Derby, to beautify
some of your windows that have hitherto been treated
with indifference. Also some small rooms may re
quire a new Carpet or a Rug. If such is the case,
buy them of us now during the dull season, because
we are anxious to clear out all odds and ends, so as to
make room for our fall stock. Your money at inter
est brings you only 6 per cent, and by investing it on
household requirements, which you must have sooner
or later, it will bring you from 30 to 40 per cent.
ksA Word to the Wise
LIGHTING
FRUIT JARS.
The best and cheapest
Jar in the market. Give
them a trial and you will
never use any other kind.
THEY ARE EASILY SEALED
and just as easily opened,
no wrench or great
strenjjjth required as with
the old style of Jars.
