Hero and there a Democratlo organ expresses confidence that the Dem ocracy will be restored to control of the state government as the natural result of the present Republican faction fight. Presently the war will be over and Re publican harmony will be more dense than ever. Today's Convention. Today the delegates elected on Satur day In the Third legislative district of Lackawanna county will meet In con vention to elect the delegate who will represent that district In the state con vention on the 28th Inst. This will com plete the preliminary work In Lacka wanna. In no county In the state (ex cepting possibly Luzerne), have the Republicans presented a more solid front In defense of Governor Hastings' administration. For some reason Sena tor Quay selected Lackawanna for a preliminary, or test, battle ground. He came here In person, made the most earnest appeals to prominent Republi cans to stand by him, even when he knew that many of them could not do so without the basest Ingratitude to Governor Hastings. The same course was adopted by htm In Luzerne county. The senator spent three days In these two counties, and when he left he ex pressed the greatest confidence that he had succeeded in ihis mission. The Republicans of Lackawanna have acquitted themselves with credit and honor. Senator Quay expected the im possible of them; more than that, he de manded of them what would have been dishonorable had they yielded. In send ing a solid delegation to the state con vention for yvitlard, Rice and Hast ings the 'Republicans of this county have acted honorably and have at the same time served the very highest In terests of the Republican party. The delegates chosen from the three dis tricts, nd the one to be chosen today from the other, are all representative Republicans of the best type. They win be faithful to the trust reposed In them. Senator Quay claims even yet that some of these delegates are his friends and will vote for him for chair man of the state committee. Any such claim Is a mere pretense for which there ia no foundation whatever. The valiant Colonel McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, has turned aside for a moment from his defense of Sena to Quay to indulge In one of his perl odtcal attacks on Captain John C. De laney. The latter, as custodian of pub lic 'buildings and grounds, has pur chased supplies for some of the depart ments and some friend of MoCIure has evidently failed to secure contracts. Ever-Increasing Deficit. Three months ago Secretary Carlisle solemnly assured the country, that when the new fiscal year opened the revenues of the treasury would not only be equal to the expenditures, tut that sunplus would appear. The new fiscal year commenced July 1, ,and the treas ury report for -the first .month' of the year is at hand. It shows that Secre tary Carlisle does not understand the financial situation any better now than tie did when he 'became, the head of the treasury department. or the first month of the new fiscal year there ap pear a deficit exceeding $19,000,000. This Is even worse than was anticipat ed by the worst of the "calamfty howl ers," who had been predicting a de ficit of from five to six millions for the month of July. - It long; since become apparent to national financiers 'like Senator Sherman, who comprehend the situa tion, that there will be no improve ment in the condition. of the treas ury until there Is a radical change In our tariff and revenue' policy. On at least two occasions within the past two years, or since Cleveland's adminis tration oame Into existence, the govern ment was) able to meet Ms obligations only by resorting to an Issue of 'bonds to replenish the treasury with borrowed money. The Cleveland administration has added Immensely to the Interest bearing debt of the nation and the end evidently has aot yet been reached. Commencing the new fiscal year with a deficit of , more than $10,900,000 for the first month, is certainly not a very hopeful outlook. If kept up at the same rate the balance of ike year a de ficit exceeding $120,000,000 . will be .In evitable. Unfortunately there Is little or no hope that the new congress, when it as sembles next (December, will be able to give the country the much-needed re lief. The house of. representatives will be largely Repobllcan ftnd 'necsssary legislation can easily ass that body, but the senate will be very close and un reliable. The Populists will probably hold the balance of power send will nat uratly act with the Democratlo obstruc tionists In opposing ' all wholesome financial and revenue legislation. But even if the senate were, rim Republican . nothing could be accomplished while "W0 3f r. Cleveland remains In the presiden tial chair. Me would not approve any bill a Republican congress might pass that modified the' existing tariff laws In the Interest .of our suffering Indus tries. Mr. Cleveland regards the Wit-son-Gorman tariff as a wise and whole some measure and will not consent to a revision that modifies its provisions In any material particular. . When the Democrats In the last con gress struck down the McKinley tariff act they -struck a blow at the treasury that has crippled It. The revenues speedily fell off to such an extent as to create a deficiency. That deficiency has been constantly Increasing under the Cleveland administration. If Cleve land were a wise and patriotic states man, he would comprehend the imperi ous necessity for Inaugurating a differ ent policy, even though it were essen tial to convene congress in extra ses sion, or to put In Secretary Carlisle's place a statesman and natural financier equal to the exigencies of the situation. Senator Quay's threat to defeat Con gressman Lelsenrlng's 'proposed bill for a federal building In Wllkes-Barre if t.uxerne failed to send Quay delegates to the state convention, appears to have been without effect. Mr. Lelsenrlng himself Immediately took off Ills coat and proceeded to show that he wasn't scared. Threats of that description never amount to much among seir-re- spectlng people. Quay's "Great Victories." The Quay organs, nottably the Phlla delDhta Inaulrer and Times, yesterday gloated over the "great Quay vic tories" achieved In the primary elec tions on Saturday. On that day dele gate elections were held in seven coun ties, and In one Legislative district In another. The organs of the senator claim complete success In Elk, Snyder, Clinton, Dauphin, Susquehanna and Huntingdon, and a partial victory In Luzerne. For a wonder they concede that Quay was defeated In the Third district of Lackawanna. Fifteen dele gates they claim for Quay and concede seven to Hastings as the reBult of these primaries. As a matter of fact the counties of Elk, Snyder, Clinton and Dauphin, eight all told, were conceded to Quay in advance of the elections, and in some of them 'there was not even any contest. The capture of Huntingdon was the only surprise of last Saturday's 'primaries', and Just how it was accomplished will doubtless appear later. Susquehanna has been an "unknown quantity" all along and Quay's adherents have never doubted that they would win there whether or not they have done so will appear when today's county convention has done Its work. The claim that Quay has cap tured three of the Luzerne delegates Is mere brazen presumption. The actual result of Saturday's primaries In the eight counties named Is ten delegates for (Hastings, ten for Quay, and two still In doubt. Throughout this bsttle of the fac tions the Quay ehouters have endeav ored to keep up their courage by blus ter, boasting and bogus claims. When the first delegate elections were held in Lackawanna county and the Quay fac tion was overwhelmingly and dis astrously beaten they Impudently put forward the claim that our delegates would -nevertheless vote for Quay for chairman of the state committee. When they were similarly defeated in Northampton, Bucks and Center coun ties they Immediately claimed that the delegates chosen by the (Hastings peo ple were not Inimical to Quay. They are today claiming a score of delegates In various sections of the Btate as Quay men, when It Is absolutely known that these same delegates are opposed to him. In view of what has been the policy of the Quayltes ever since the contest began their extraordinary and bluster ing claims as to last Saturday's pri maries was to be expected and will oc casion no surprise. Chairman Gllkeson claims that the election of the delegates In Luzerne county settles the question as to which faction will have control of the state convention. 'He now sees his way clear to assured success, supposing, of course, that the Hastings people in Philadel phia will accomplish what they prom ise. The conventions in that city will be held in two weeks, and there Is no probability that Quay will secure more than half a dozen of the seventy. A wttk ago the senator went to Philadel phia declaring his purpose to take per sonal charge of his campaign and re mained two or three days and then hastened westward. He says he will return, but It Is more probable that he found he could accomplish nothing and proceeded to other fields. Colonel Quay has lost his grip In Philadelphia and Allegheny, as he has In the anthracite coal counties. Placing the Responsibility. The Philadelphia Times yesterday devotes nearly a column of Its editorial space to advise to Governor Hastings in his present battle with Senator Quay. Among other things It says: "Governor Hastings cannot be so blinded by prejudice or 111 advised counsels as not to see that the retributive blows of the present factional fight are falling upon him and upon him alone. He entered his office with a thoroughly united party; with a prestige never approached by any other candidate 1n the history of the state, and enjoying the generous respect of the whole people of the state. Only six months have elapsed since hs entered his office as the grandest victor of. the com monwealth; today his party Is rent Into fragments by convulsive factional throes and of all the men Involved In the conflict he receives the deepest and' deadliest wounds.". - Governor (Hastings has not volun tarily engaged In this contest, and It is not a personal matter with htm. -He had scarcely entered Upon the office to which the people bad elected him by an unprecedented majority, when the at tempt was made to make a mere figure head of htm and virtually deprive him of the real functions of his great of fice.; He asserted himself, as any man fit to be governor of a great state na turally would. McClure's Times tries to make it appear that Governor Hast ings Is responsible for; the factional fight now In progress. The people of Pennsylvania know better. The gover nor sought no quarrel with Senator Quay; the latter forced the fighting himself. Hastings' experience Is only a repetition of Governor Hoyt's. The latter submitted to arbitrary dictation until near the close of his term, and then revolted. Hastings revolted at the very beginning of his term and in sisted upon being governor of Pennsyl vania himself. Hoyt went outside the party to fight his tormentors; Hastings fights his battle Inside the party lines. That is about the only difference. From present appearances the only music that will be heard in the vicinity of the Dickson works this season will be that made during the day by employes of the boiler shops. The free concert project seems to have died without an overture. Court house square is the proper locality for a band stand, and Mr. Bauer's musicians cannot be blamed for refusing to play in the lo cality that had been selected. To Mr.' Atherton and the citizens who gener ously contributed to the free concert enterprise, the thanks of the public are due, even though the entertainments were not a success musically speaking. No good reason for the refusal of the county commissioners to allow the band stand a place on court house square appears on the surface at this time. It Is to be regretted that the trouble taken by public spirited citi zens with a view to affording pleasure able entertainments for people who can afford few recreations has been inef fectual through the action of the three men in charijj of the court house square. The Income tax proved an unprofita ble venture. During the few days the law remained In operation $77,131 was puid Into the national treasury. This sum was collected at a cost of nearly $89,000. And now the amount collected will have to be 'returned to the per sons who paid It, so that the foolish un dertaking will probably cost Uncle Sam not less than $100,000. The Income tax In time of peace was a measure of Dem ocratic origin as well as of Democratic stupidity. Such nonsense would not have been thought of If the Republican party had been in power. There is some more annexation talk In Hawaii as well as in the United States, but that kind of talk might as well be abandoned for the time, being. If General Harrison had been re-elected president, Hawaii would unquestiona bly today be a territory of the United States. The further discussion of the annexation question might as well be deferred until the Republicans shall have been restored to power in 1896. Then annexation will again be in order. The present republican form of govern ment In Hawaii is strong enough to maintain itself. Since Mr. Cleveland's friends allege so emphatically that he will not again be a candidate for president, Hon. Will lam R. Morrison, of Illinois, is being urged to the front. The Honorable "Horizontal" is always ready for any thing that comes along, and the Repub licans would rather welcome htm for the battle In 1890. But Vice President Stevenson, who is also an Illinois man, will not take kindly to this 'Morrison move. Mr. Stevenson is himself an as pirant for promotion. COMMENT OF THE PRESS. Real Isane In Cheater Stated. Kennett Advance: "Quay and Cameron, or rather Cameron and Quay, are the Is sues 'in this county and those who are op posing both these gentlemen do not pro pose to allow the situation to become clouded by the introduction of Gllkeson or the Philadelphia combine. Gllkeson may be a bad man, but whatever he Is he was Quay's man origlnolly, and he Is responsible for him, but .that does not matter In this present Instance when more important concerns are to be considered. Senator Quay's strife for the Insignificant office of chairman Is the first feint In the movement for the re-election of Cameron, and the people of Chester county do not want that." A Few Don'ts. Hazloton Sentinel: "Don't be deceived by Quay and the new county! Don't send a delegate for the man who made two Democratic governors. Don't take advice from Democrats. Don't fall to stand by Gllkeson. Don't forget that while Gllkeson was state chairman we elected a governor by a 240,000 majority. Don't forget that when Quay and An drews were chairman we elected Paul son, a Democrat, by 60,444 majority." Governor Wilt He Vletorlons. ' Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette: "Governor Hastings will never show the white feather. He was compelled to enter the fight, and he was never known to recedo from a position once honestly entered upon. He believes that the Republican party In Pennsylvania will be best served by continuing Colonel Gllkeson as chair man, and he Intends to accomplish this with the assistance of the Republicans of the state." The Hope Is Very Short. Scranton Times: "Political bosses come to the end of their rope sooner or later. Quay Is evidently nearlng the end of his rope. And to a man up a tree it looks deucedly like as If one Joseph A. Scranton, who has ruled Republican politics in T&Lackawanna county and lot these many years, has come to a sudden and unex pected turn in the road. But, 'tis ever thus I" Would Lead to No End of Tronble. Montrose Republican: "It Is noticeable that Senator Quay Is not asking for new primaries and second conventions In those counties where the delegates chosen are Quay supporters. Without any reference to factional Interests now In contention the proposition of Senator Quay la utterly untenable." , Would Fill the Of flee with Dignity. Scranton Times: "The Free Press yes terday nominated Mr. William 'Connell for governor. If the next governor of Pennsylvania Is to be a Republican the Times knows of no man who would fill the office with more dignity and fitness than Mr. Connell." POLITICS IS ENGLAND. From Barron's London Letter. Much has been said in time past of the exemplary character of English politics as compared with the tactical and venal system, pursued in Amerlct. Perhaps there is some advantage of morals and or derliness on this side of the water, but in many respects the practices here nre "queer." For example, a considerable pother baa be mad In .one of the London divisions sVer'the circulated report that a candidate "has been known to put a sov ereign ostentatiously and with interested motives Into the plate of a Congregational church" which he attended. Whereupon great pains were taken by friends of the candidate, backed by members of the church, to explain that It bad long been a rule with the honorable gentleman to give this sum of money in exchange for the re ligious consolations of the ohurch service. And the gentleman hlmsilf said It was an excellent custom In the agricultural dis tricts of -Holland where the peasants re moved and left outside their dirty shoes when they catered a dwelling, adding the moral reflection that the dirty Bhos of bad polltlca might be left outside religion, an observation the force of which may be appreciated in America. II II II ' It is said that the traffic 1st votes was rather openly and unblusblngly conducted until the pernicious consequences of It led to legal provision against that sort of en terprise. Now the restrictions upon acts that might tend to shift the conscience of voters from personal conviction to parti san complaisance are so finely drawn that sometimes comical results attend them. The radical candidate In the east division of Marylebone went on horseback to one of his open air meetings. After delivering his address he was about to give a shilling to the man who held his horse when his election agent interposed with a reminder of the corrupt practices act The candi date Immediately thrust the coin back Into his pocket and contented himself with thanking the man. A very picturesque, tf somewhat Irregular assortment of words, expressive neither of pleasure nor appreciation, escaped the mouth of the virtually defrauded horsetender, who Im mediately became a convert to the oppo sition. II II II Another phase of British political prac tice must strike the American mind odflly. Posted plentifully about London just now are half-sheets bearing wood cut prints of the busts of Spurgeon and John Bright re spectively, with the legend at the top: "He being dead, yet speaketh." Below is a sentiment from a speech or sermon of the man pictured, unfavorable to the sepa ratist movement and therefore serviceable to unionist purposes. This recourse to the tomb for campaign literature Is given a somewhat ghoulish suggestion by the il lustrated posters. But there Is an ancient English precedent for this sort of thiiiK; did not Warwick seek to rouse the apathetic citizens of London to an aggres sive sympathy with the drooped Lancas trian cause by strapping the feeble and Im becile body of Henry VI to a horse and parading the pitiable object through the town? Quito proper, therefore, was It for the unionists to marshal forth the speak ing likeness of two such vigorous souls and noble patriots as Spurgeon and Bright to plead, as It Were, from the grave, for the perpetuity of the Imperial Integrity which is England's chief safeguard. An American can nave but an-Imperfect conception of the veneration of illustrious public men that Is an attribute of the English mind. When a man has risen to a position of affectionate esteem or respect ful admiration here, each year of service or recognition deepens and Intensifies the regard In which he Is held; and he is known for a clear-minded, htgh-souled pa triot, this regard become positive love and reverence. The man so devotedly admired continues a living force even after the mortal part of him has passud from the view of men, and the memory of him Is a spell to conjure with. And there Is rea son for It; In the splendid majority of In stances men of public Importance In Eng land hold their pre-eminence through the power of personal worth, of character, of Intellect, and without these the shrewdest and most brilliant politician cannot hope to continue long in favor. It means some thing here to be a public man, and the very best men strive for public position. When a country has BOO years of nobility, of valor, of greatness, of dignity, as the perspective of modern doings, men who stand conspicuously before their fellow men are apt to square their deeds by the best that Is In them.
