SORLrVNTON, AUC.UIST 12. 1S95.
Even the North Scrnnton mayoralty
boomlets appear to have been swal
lowed up In the whirl of the present
campaign.
Saturday's Primaries.
Primary elections wore held on Sat
urday In Montgomery, York. Juniata.
Perry and Adams counties, and in
Schuylkill the district conventions were
held. From advices at hand at this
writing the administration forces car
ried Adams, Juniata, Perry and Tork
without any doubt. In Montgomery,
where the battle was hottest, both sides
are cla-imlng success. The Schuylkill
conventions resulted In a divided dele
gation, as was expected, Quay captur
ing three delegates and Hastings four.
In one of the district conventions of
Schuylkill tho delegates divided, hold
ing two conventions, and dual delega
tions will contest for the seats In tho
state convention. In Adams and Perry
counties the administration won un
expected victories, the delegates hav
ing been conceded to Quay. In Mont
gomery the Quay forces accomplished
much more than was expected. Mont
gomery Is Adjutant General Stewart's
county and it was supposed he would
easily carry it for the administration.
The Indications are that he has been
beaten, which would a little more than
oft-set the gains made by the adminis
tration in Adams and Perry.
Taken as a whole the result of Satur
day's primaries does not differ much
from what had been anticipated. More
complete returns may make some
changes, but whatever either side may
gain will not be decisive as to the gen
eral result in the state. Philadelphia
will decide which of the two faction
will control the state convention. Urjs
til the primaries are 'held in that city
neither side will have actually won or
lost the battle.
From laitest reports It seems that th3
mtartanarles who were mobbed and
massacred at Kucheng were warned to
leave the place by Minister Denby be
fore the .trouble occurred, but persisted
in remaining In spite of his advice.
While this may Jfave no effect in open
ing the eyes of persons who can detect
nothing foolhardy In the action of the
missionaries. It will doubtless put a
check upon the circulation of rumors
calculated to create an Impression
that Minister Denby is not attending to
his duty as guardian of American in
terests In China.
Look to the Platform.
The battle between the Hastings and
Quay factions for control of the state
convention has so engrossed the Kopub
llcan press and people of the state that
little attention has been attracted to
other matter's of the gravest import
ance to the iarty. Republicans In other
states are far more Interested In the
platform declarations of the convention
to be held at Harrisburg on the 28th
Inst, than they are In the outcome of
the contest for the party leadership.
Pennsylvania is the Keystone of the
Republican arch as well as the Key
stone of the Union, arid Republicans
everywhere from Maine to California
will await with eagerness, as well as
with some anxiety, the declarations this
convention shall make concerning the
artltudo of Pennsylvania Republicans
on the leading Issues (hat will enter
into the national campaign next year.
These declarations may be made so
strong, so wise, so patriotic as to exert
J. nr.fi twililncr fnflum.A sin V n ..tin. f
Republican conventions In other states.
The convention on the 28th Inst, can,
if It will, sound the keynote of the great
national congest next year. This It
Should do whichever of the contending
factions controls the convention. If the
convention shall be wisely and Intelli
gently led the platform put forward
"will be one which the national conven
tion next year can adopt and the party
ArtfinA nnnn In avprv arwrlin tf fh
Union. There was a time when the
Republican party In Pennsylvania was
so important a factor in the national
elections that it was virtually the for
nicator of the general policy of the
party In national elections. There Is no
reason why Pennsylvania should not
now occupy en eoually Important posi
tion. .-. .
What Is most to be feared at this
time is that an attempt will be made to
place tho Republican party In Penn
sylvania In a false position on the silver
question with a view to the re
mote possibility of advancing; the
candidacy of Senator Cameron
for the presidency. ' That such
an attempt has been contemplated is
clearly evidenced by the repeated dec
larations of Senator Quay, ex-Colleotor
Cooper, Congressman Robinson and
other known staunch adherents to the
cause, of Cameron. "If Senator Quay
houla secure control of he state con
vention It will be an absolute control,
and h Is not the man to atop at a half
victory.; ,. .
None but fools suppose that Quay
eares for the chairmanship the stats
committee except tn so far as It will
give him a tremendous advantage In
capturing the delegation to the nation'
al convention. He does not expect to
be a candidate for the presidential nom
ination himself, but he has declared
that Pennsylvania may have a candi
date, and if it does his name will be J.
Donald Cameron. Everybody knows
that If Mr. Cameron is to be supported
for the presidency by the Pennsylvania
delegation the party in the state will
have to place itself in a position of
antagonism to the party as a national
organization on the sliver question. The
first step In that direction, may be at.
tempted in the state convention on the
28th Inst., if Senator Quay shall have
the power to control its action. This
Is one of the perils to the party of the
success of Quaylsm and Cameronism in
the battle for delegates.
There can be no greater mistake than
the assumption that Governor Hastings
and his supporters are fighting a battle
for personal advantage. The governor
represents the cause of harmony and
unity between the Republican party In
Pennsylvania and the party in its capa
city as a national organization. Penn
sylvania Republicanism must not be
discredited nor placed In a false posi
tion by the state convention at Harris
burg on the 28th of August. There is
danger that the attempt will be made
to do this If the Quay influences shall
predominate.
Adlal Stevenson persists In making
announcements that Mr. Cleveland
"won't run again." Of course he won't.
He's too fat.
Quay Revolutionists.
The adherents of Senator Quay have
determined upon revolutionary methods
In Wyoming county. Early In the year
the Republicans of that county held a
convention and elected R. F. Northrop
delegate to the state convention. When
Senator Quay declared war on the state
administration and announced himself
;i candidate for chairman of the state
committee, Mr. Northrop declared him
self In favor of the administration. The
county committee was then carefully
canvassed, the Quay members of that
body were called together and adopted
a resolution demanding that Mr. Nor
throp pledge himself to support Quay
In the state convention. This he In
dignantly refused to do, declaring that
the committee had no authority to Is
sue instructions. All manner of threats
and bulldozing methods have been re
sorted to to compel iMr. Northrop to
obey machine orders, but he has man
fully resisted all such tactics. Now the
committee has Issued a call for a new
county convention to elect a Quay dele
gate.
This is revolutionary and will unques
tionably result In handing that re
deemed county back to the Democratic
party. Mr. Northrop was elected In
accordance with the party rules and Is
entitled to his seat In the state conven
tion without question. The Hastings
men In Wyoming should wholly abstain
from all participation In the primary
election called toy the revolutionary
county committee. The call is without
the semblance of authority under the
rules of the party and should be entire
ly Ignored by the .Hastings men. Tho
Quay revolutionists may be able to tem
porarily cripple the Republican party
In Wyoming, but upon them alone will
rpst the responsibility. They have un
dertaken to trample under foot all rules,
all precedents, nil regard for political
decency, and must take the conse
quences. Quayism Is now party revolu
tion In Wyoming county.
The Kansas woman who attempted
suicide because her husband tried to
amuse her by reading old love letters
from another woman, should not be
censured. The woman who Is yoked to
a reading husband Is entitled to sym
pathy at any time. It Is bad enough for
the ordinary wife to be obliged to lis
ten to base ball news, ancient Jokes and
waTd politics, as explained by the liter
ary husband, but when an attempt Is
made to ring tn old love letters, sulcldo
seems Justifiable as a means of escape.
Picnics and Beer.
The selling of fceer or other alcoholic
beverages at picnics has become a cus
tom so general that It Is-attracting at
tention In a number of communities in
this state. The selling of liquors under
such circumstances Is very clearly a
violation of the H rooks license act, and
great risks are taken by those who are
guilty of such Indiscretion. Whether or
not a conviction Is possible under the
circumstances indicated will soon be
tested In Luzerne county. Recently
one of the popular singing societies of
Wilkes-'Bnrre had their annual picnic
at an adjacent park. One of the princi
pal sources of revenue at these society
picnics Is the sale of refreshments.
Malt liquors figure conspicuously.
Among the officers of the society re
ferred to are several prominent business
men .of Wilkes-Barre, One day last
week an Information was lodged
against tho officers for selling liquor In
violation (tt law,- warrants were Issued,
arrests followed and they were held In
ball for appearance at court.
These arrests caused considerable
consternation In our neighboring city.
The men charged with this serious of
fense are citizens of excellent repute,
prominent In business circles and some
of them connected with Christian
churches. In one sense they are un
doubtedly guilty of an offense against
the law, but as officers of a society they
only acquiesced In a custom that has
been practiced with Impunity not only
In Luzerne and (Lackawanna counties,
but In many other sections of the state.
If In Luzerne Jury could be found to
convict the accused, even though the
court should aot leniently and suspend
sentence, the effect undoubtedlykwould
be to greatly diminish a species of law
lessness 'which public sentiment has
very generally condoned, or at least
tolerated. '
The selling of beer at society plcntcs
Is resorted to for the sake of the reve
nue it brings. It ought to be possible
for societies to substitute beverages
the sale of which would not constitute
a breach of the laws. This will un
doubtedly be done In many Instances fcf
there should be a conviction In the Lu
zerne case referred to.
A good many people In the United
State would like to know Just what
Minister Bayard, our represoatlve to
Great Britain, meant when he at a re-
cervt banquet In London- declared that
"the American people need a strong
man to govern 'them." It Is possible to
place upon that remark a construction
far from complimentary to the Ameri
can people. Minister Bayard supple
mented the above remark wltb the ob
servation that President Cleveland Is
the kind of strong man required. It
would be highly interesting to know
wherein 'Mr. Cleveland has shown his
strength in "governing the people." He
has not even protected the flag of the
nation against Insult. -
.
The QuaytAndrews-Lexow commit
tee got together tn Philadelphia on
Saturday. This committee Is Quay's
last card in his Philadelphia hand, and
It is a "club." Quay offered to send thla
committee to Europe and make no in
vestigation provided Dave Martin
would abandon the administration and
stand In with him In his taction fight.
Martin refused the bribe and ithe "In
vestigation" la ordered on. The first
thing the committee did waa to accept
the 120,000 offered by Citizens' Munici
pal association to defray expenses. The
proposition to Lexow the Philadelphia
municipal government was conceived
by Senator Quay and he Intended to
use It as a club to keep Dave Martin
and the othe local leaders of Philadel
phia in line. In this, he Was failed. Mar
tin tells Quay to go ahead with his In
vestigation. Quay was himself the pro
jector of the evils the "Lexow" com
mittee is to Investigate.
According to accounts the usually
peaceful locality In Susquehanna coun
ty known as Burnwood Is becoming de
cidedly wild western In the uneven
tenor of Its ways. The atrocious as
sault made by Mrs. Carpenter and her
daughters upon iMlss Tucker, a school
teacher, who was waylaid In the woods
and beaten to insensibility, was fol
lowed by the gathering of a mob that
had decided to decorate the Carpenter
women with tar and feathers. This
news from peaceful Susquehanna coun
ty Is rather surprising, especially at a
time when the star of all good people
la supposed to b In the ascendency.
A movement Is said to be on foot in
Europe to colonize parts of Africa with
negroes from the United States. Until
the details of the scheme are developed
the matter cannot be intelligently dis
cussed. The mo:e Intelligent colorad
people In this country will regard with
distrust any African colonization
scheme that is promoted by a European
government or corporation, and well
they may. The lot of .the negroes in
the southern states Is hard enough even
after all these years of freedom, but It
might be infinitely worse under an
African colonization project promoted
by some selfish European government.
PITiml'OiXTg.
Chairman Wright, of the Democratic
state committee, explains why tho Dem
ocrats support Quay so vigorously. He
says: "If Quay wins there will be a revo
lution In the Republican party and the
Democrats will carry the state onco
more."
If the Democrats of Luzerne or Lacka
wanna county expect to put forward a
candidate for Superior court Judge It is
time they made a move. Chauncey
Black's Urerilctlnn that t.ha Tk.mnr.i-at. n.111

The Scranton Times predicts that there
will be a Bcranton-Pellowe alliance for of
fensive and defensive operations In local
poKtlrs. There Is an aduge about strange
bed-fellows In poL.lcs, you know.
It Is intimated that President Cleveland
will make another attempt to place his
friund Hornblower on the supreme court
bench, now that Justice Jackson's death
has created a vacancy.
Isn't It about time the Truth brought
out Judge 8m:th for the Superior court
Judgeship? Our Indupundent-Quay-ma-etV.ne
contemporary Is rather slow this
time.
General Reeder has Informed some In
quiring friends that none of the four
Northampton county dolegates will go
back on Qilkeson; all are opposed to Quay.
The Inactivity of the local Democracy
Is a sourco of worrlment to the Scranton
Times. Never mind and rest easy, they
will soon resume the old light.
The delegate from little Wyoming coun
ty stands II rm for Hastings against all
bulldozing. Mr. Northrop Is a man of grit
and conscience.
Congressman Reilly, of Schuylkill, and
Judge Albright, of I,hlRh, are In the field
for Hupcrlor court honors on the Demo
cratic ticket.
There were some more delegate elections
held on Saturday and of course the Quay
people were claiming everything yesterday.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Harmless but Not Innocent.
Wllkcs-Harre Times: "During the ab
sence of his papa in Europe, the Scranton
papers nre having lots of fun with "Kur
nel Hob" Scranton. Slocum Hollow edi
tors should bear In mind that we are near-
Ing the dog days and give poor liohbln a
rest. He is Innocent and harmless anyhow."
Red-Hot Itcbnke.
From the Green Ridge Beans: "Those
Susquehanna county resolutions were red
hot, a severe re buke to the defamatory
methods adopted by the Scranton Tribune;
they emphatically rebuke the malicious
attacks made against Wright."
Northeast Should lie Recognized.
Wayne Independent: "William Connell.
of Si-ranton, Is talked of as a candidate
for the governorship of Pennsylvania. It
Is quite time that the northeastern part of
the state had some honors In this direc
tion and we know of no better man to give
tnm to man Mr. Connell."
NOT A POLITICIAN.
From the Buffalo Express.
Last fall a new woman set out to nrose-
lytlze. She was a very young new wo
man and well satisfied with her own po
litical disability, but strongly determined
to make converts for the party to which
she fancied she belonged. She was par
ticularly Interestod In a certain candi
date running on the Democratic ticket
Her first osll waa on her own godfather,
a Demooratlo warhoree, a man who has
worked and held office for the Democ ratio
party for many years.
Godfather," began the new woman, "I
want to get some votes for a frlond of
mine. Ha Is a perfectly lovely man. and I
want you to promts to vote for him."
'Maudle," replied the old man, who nat
urally thought that the girl was asking
him to make an exception In favor of a
Republican, from his lifelong habit of vot
ing the straight Democratic ticket, "you
know I would do almost anything for you,
but I can't go back on my party." -.
Maudle pleaded and pleaded, until finally
her godfather relented so far as to ask
who the favored candidate might be,
'Why, Judge Blank, ;of courser1
l" a
ewered Maudte, la some surprise, though
his name had not been mentioned up to
that time.
The old man's face waa a study for a
while. Then he chuckled softly to him
self, and satd: '"Girlie, have I to be asked
at my time of life to support a nominee of
my own party? lton't you know .that
Judge Blank Is a Democrat and I an a
Democrat V
But Maudle had burst Into tears. "I
think you are a mean, horrid old man not
to have told me that when I began to
talk! How was I to know to what nasty
old party you belonged? I think politics
are Just awful!"
And the promising poKtlral career of one
new woman ended right there.

There are peculiarities of our English
language which no othr language ex
hibits. Did you ever notice how many
English words are formed by simpy
dropping alternate letters? For example:
Wheat, heat, eat, at; sham, ham, am;
wheel, heel, eel;, whale, hale, ale, and
scores of others.
Again, we have In our mother tongue
two words which. Joined together, make a
dlstlnut word of an entirely different
meaning, Just as a single word disjointed
does. Take the word since and rely, or
the separate word sincerely. To illus
trate: Your letter came. In words that tempt me
dearly.
You wrote them, sweet, most truly and
sincerely;
For praise like that, heroes might gladly
die,
But on another's love you since roly.

THII.IIVS SI'CCESS.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
No one need chase almut in the dark
caves of philosophy In search of a rea
son for this success. The play is novel In
theme, fresh In treatment anil orlfrlnnl In
character. The result is a sustained In
terest that bids detlunee to all technical
criticism. It matters not that races of
melodrama, and, here and there, of bur
lesque, Bpear upon the surface to distress
those who prefer diverse dramutla vlunds
upon separate dishes. The many, or hoi
pollul, if you will, are not disturbed by
scruples of this nature, and as the con
junction of Du Muurfrr and Paul Potter
resulted In a stirring play. In which many
of the elements of novelty ere deftly
Joined, tho managers may snap their An
gers at all the slings and arrows of criti
cism and "count the box" In the assured
consciousness of profitable well doing.
THE CROW'S WINU.
Curving sweep of a burnished wing,
Bluek as the gloom of a winter night,
Strong in a sense of hardy flight
Over the woods and the mountuin height,
Winds and the white moon following.
What though the lightning's fancies
played
Hide and seek In the darkling skies.
Thou on the storm's broad breast didst
rlso,
Sailing on as an arrow flies,
Loosed at a foeman's ambuscade.
What though tho hall made fierce attack.
Beating down on thine ebon wings
Ruin that chills and the sleet that
stJngs
Naught to thee were these bulTetlngs,
Borne along In the tempest wrack.
Holding still to thine airy path.
Silent, stern as the seal of fate,
Thou has learned to watch and wait;
Morn break soon or the stars rise la to,
Come what may for the aftermath.
Send my soul on a sable wing,
Death, when the d:trkncs fulls oil me.
Let me wander by land and sea.
Free ns the crow's flight yea, as free!
Winds and tho white moon following.
