SCll'ANTON. AUGUST 1.1. 1SD5. 1- The whole amount of It appears to be that In old Montgomery. Cameron boo dle outweighed argument. Unnecessary Agitation. Considering the elevated state of the thermometer during the past few- days the unnecessary agitation of our es teemed contemporary, the Truth, over the Quay-Hastings situation seems somewhat hazardous as vll as un called for. While those conver sant with the workings of the present campaign could not be mislead' by the statements and Insinuations In an article which appeared In the Truth of yesterday afternoon bearing upon the subject, a word f explanation may bo wvll at this time to correct false im pressions that have gone forth as an intended result of the Truth's mislead ing assertions. The statement that a panic seized upon the Hastings advocates In this city upon the news of victories claimed by Quay's followers in. the lower part of the state Is mere 'bosh. The meeting of delegates referred to was called for Saturday last, before news of the lower county primaries or conventions could reach this city, and the resolutions which have evidently thrown tho Truth and Quay people into a high fever of excitement would have been passed at that time had it not been necessary to postpone the meeting on account of the absence of some of the delegates from the city. The fact that Mr. Cil keson's name was omitted from the re?uIutIon passed at the meeting has no significance. The support of Mr. Gllkeson Is implied in the declara tion that the Lackawanna delegates will support Governor DanM II. Hast ings and Ms administration In the state convention. There has never been any doubt as to the position of the Lackawanna delegates In this matter. They will honestly and fearlessly represent the voters of the county in supporting the administration. The meeting was not called for the purpose of allaying panic or bracing; wavering men into line, but Dhe resolution was adopted In order that Irs publication might set at rest the minds of people who have been de ceived by falsa rumors regarding the position of Lackawanna that have been circulated from. one end of the Ftate to the other by lying minions of the Quay combine who evidently ex pect to sink beneath the waves at the coming; convention grasping the straw of "bluff." . The gireat hflat of the past few day may have caused great discomfort to the human race, but It was worth mil lions of dollars to the nation In ad vancing and increasing the later crops. The Folly of Bluster. On Monday- all the Quay organs claimed that the junior senator had awppt everything at the primaries held In half a dozen counties. The adminis tration papers claimed that Hastings had won In York, Adams and Perry, and possibly in Juniata. They conceded Schuylkill and Montgomery to Quay. The returns are now all In and once more prove the folly of Quay bluster. The administration lost nothing that It expected to carry, except. Montgom ery, and won Adams and Perry, which they did not expect to get. "It was a great Quay day," exclaimed such ma chine organs as the Scranton Republi can. What Quay gained in ono direc tion he itt In another. That's the Jong and short of last Saturday's elections. We are near enough the end to admit of intelligent summing up. If Quay can capture from twenty to twenty-flva del egates in Philadelphia In excess of the number conceded to him h mnv win; if he falls in that he is a beaten man. The administration skies are ex ceedingly bright, brighter than they ave been at any time in the battle. Quay bluster and boasting has accom plished nothing. If the estimates in Philadelphia hold out Hastings will hold the state convention by a ma jority of abouf7orty. and by not less than thirty if every county still to elect and counted as doubtful be carried by Quay. That is the situation, and time will verify Its correctness. ' If the people of this state' want Cam eron re-elected senator, ' they will not fall to maka Ms colleague state chair man. ' ' ' Use the Navy. The United States have a fairly for midable navy at this time, thanks to the energy of former administrations. It does not appear to have occurred to President Cleveland (While . be Is ad- busily engaged trolling for blue flBh at Buasard'a Bay,' that a portion of our now splendid and formidable navy might be profitably and) Usefully em ployed In Chinese waters, backing up with shotted guns the demand for the protection tf ' American missionaries and American - clttaena generally In CMna, We have a treaty wtth that em pire under the provisions of whloa pro tection is guaranteed to Americans. The provisions of that treaty have not been observed, and It would seem that our government has not manifested sufficient energy in dealing . with, the subject. Our minister to China explains that he warned the missionaries of their peril In time for them to have escaped, but that they would not heed his warning. That Is all right enough as far as It goes, but it is not what Americans have a right to expect. Our government has a duty to perform to Its citizens In China, ami if that duty can not be adequately performed without the aid of men-of-war and gunboats, then these forces should be called Into active service. That la precisely what our great and powerful war-ships were built for, although the Cleveland ad ministration does not appear to realize the fact. It Is all well enough for our splendid naval equipment to Indulge In elaborate evolutions off Newport occa sionally when there is nothing else to do, for the amusement of society swells and retired millionaires, but, after all, our navy was not constructed for any sueh purpose. Somebody ought to wake up President Cleveland and his cabinet, and let them know that war-ships are needed in Chinese waters for the pro tection of Americans who are threat ened with brutal death at the hands of the heathen. Our partl-colored evening contem porary 1s respectfully Informed that a brand is not necessary for a delegate or candidate not supported by the Truth. An aspirant for political hon ors receiving the sanction of that hoo doo journal, however, would need to be the veritable tatooed man In order to determine where he was at. The Policy of Revenge. The Philadelphia Times, leading Quay organ throughout the campaign, Is authority for th statement that if Quay secures control of the tat con vention, he will defeat the nomination of nil the superior court Judges except ing Judge Ulce and Beaver, to whom, the Times alleges. Quay has pledged himself In advance. It was very gener ally supposed that If Quay should con trol the convention he would spare Keeder and Wiekham. the latter being his neighbor as well as his personal and political friend. Col. McClure, how ever, stands so very close to Quay that whatever the Times states concerning the purpose of the senator will pass as authorized. This Information volun teered by Col. MeClure's paper would be much more Important as well as more Interesting If thure were greater proba bility than there Is that Senator Quay will have the power to turn down any body In the state convention. One or two of the Judges appointed by the governor may indeed be defated In the convention, but If they are it will not be done to gratify Senator Quay, but will be accomplished by a combination of the delegates from sec tions of the state that have no represen tation on the bench. The three coun ties having the largest delegation in the convention Philadelphia, Alle gheny and Lancaster are not Tepre senteM on tho superior court bench (ex cept that Philadelphia has the Demo cratic member) and It Is possible that the unrepresented western, northwest ern and southern sections of the state may seek and receive support from the delegations of the three great counties named. This may occur even If the Hastings men are In a majority. The power of sectional Interests may prove as great as factional feeling in the mat ter of the judgeship nominations. If the administration supporters shall control the convention, however, there will very naturally be a strong Inclina tion and Incentive to sustain Ooveronr Hastings by nominating all the judges appointed by him. The fact that all six of these Judges are well qualified honorable and clean men Is the strong est possible argument 1n favor of such action. If the convention were to place In nomination six new .men It is not at all probable that they would rank as high In their average fitness for the superior court as do the judges ap pointed by Governor Hastings. That Senator Quay would greatly en Joy revenging himself on Governor Hastings, as well as on some of the ap pointed Judges, Is not doubted. He Is a revengeful Titan by nature, as many Pennsylvania Kepirbllcans know by ex perience. If he should secure control of the state convention there Is no tell ing to what lengths he would permit his bitterness to go. iNow and then he has given out Intimations of what he would do. Some of the Quay organs are urging him on to wholesale slaugh ter In the event of success In capturing the state convention. Prominent among these Is the Philadelphia Times. A candidate for state treasurer will be nominated by the ensuing state con vention. Thia fact has been almost lost sight of in the contest for the chair manship of the state committee. Census-Making. . The country will rejoice to learn that the publishing of the census of 1890 will be completed before the close of the present year. Thus half of the new decado will have passed away before the people will have access to the full details of tho Information leathered five years ago, and, as a matter of course, the work will be to a great ex tent valueless. The-truth is that the government undertakes entirely too much whenever congress provides for the taking of a census. A large por tion of the money expended Is literally wasted. The really valuable informa tion collected by the census could be contained In not more than half a dozen volumes, and they ought to be all pub lished within the first year of the de cade. Any one who will take the trouble to examine the vast number of volumes of the 1390 census already pub lished will at once see that two-thirds or more of the matter contained In them might be dispensed with to great advantage. The work would be all the more valuable and might then be placed within the reach of more of the people. A full set Of the volumes, comprising the census of 1890 Is so cumbersome and any particular Information desired so dlffloult to find, that probably less than a thousand people In the United States who have the full census reports have ever examined half th volumes. Tho fact that the complete reports can not be'publlshed hi Use than Ave years Is all the argument needed to demon strate the necessity for reform In this particular. When congress makes provision for taking the census of 1900 it should leave little or nothing to the discretion of the officials in charge of the census bureau. The work should be absolutely limited to Information that Is of value to the people generally. If this is done the next census will be compressed Into five or six volumes, and be published complete not later than January, 1901. Ky taking the census of 1S90 It will be easy to see how much ought to be elim inated. The government would save a large amount of money and the people would have census reports that they could make practical use of. Secretary Carlisle says there will be no deficit for August, ttut the treas ury is running behind at the rate of $300,000 a day. just the same, and that looks remarkably like a deficit. The Next Senate. Some newspapers are constantly re ferring to the Fifty-fourth congress, (to assemble In Its first regular session next aeoember) SB though It were so com pletely under control of the KopuMI cans that the responsibility of any fail ure to pass reformatory legislation would have to rest upon' President Cleveland. The house of representa tives. It Is true, will contain a large Re publican majority, but It Is not by any mean certain that the Republicans will be able even to control the organi zation of the senate. If a few of the lVpull.-U senators xhould act with ithe Republicans they might control the sen ate, but standing alone they will not be able to muster a majority In that body. The Democrats are even more helpl.-ss. Counting as Populists only Allen of Nebraska, Peffer of Kansas, and Jones and Stewart of iNevada, and giving the Democrats the benefit of the two senators from South Carolina, tho strength of the respective parties will be about ns follows: (Republicans, tl;.TXmocrats, 39; Populists, 4. If Fu pont, of Delaware, should be admitted, the Republicans would be able to mus ter 45, a majority, but among the num ber aro a few from, the west who can not be confidently counted upon to stand by .the party. On the silver and tariff questions they are as likely to vote with the Democrats as with the "Republicans. The uncertainty that environs the annate at once shows that the country must not place Its expectations concern ing the next congress too high. The house will be all right and may be de pended upon to pass measures for the relief of the country, but when suoh bills reach the senate their fate Is very uncertain. If the senate were as safely under Republican control as the house, then the failure to enact wise financial and tariff legislation might be thrown upon President Cleveland, but under existing conditions it Is not probable that bills of that character will reach the president at the next session of congress; they will be halted in the senate. Next year the complete redemption of the government from Democratic dominance and Democratic Incompe tency will be possible. A number of Democratic senators can then be ousted as well as the present Democratic presl dent. The country has suffered so much from the unpatriotic and blun dering policy of the Democracy during the past two years that the national election, of 1S96 Is looked forward to with the greatest impatience by all thoughtful and patriotic people. The Republican victories of 1S94, great as they were, could not redeem everything that was lost in 1S92. The senate was not wholly redeemed and the Dem ocratlo administration rould tint ha ousted. The work so well begun in 1894 cannot be completed until 1896. After that relief and prosperity. When James Buchanan was noml nated for the presidency In 185S his sue cess was due to the claim that he was "a northern man with southern princi ples." Now some of the Democratic leaders are demanding as their party's candidate for president next yeair "a western man with the Interests of the south at heart." The Republicans will, next year, be content, as usual, with a candidate who is a thorough-going American with the Interests of the en tire republic at heart. That is the dif ference between the two partles--the Democratic party is sectional In its principles and policy; the Republican party is national In everything. The always conservative and non partisan Public Ledger of Philadelphia concludes that Senator Quay cannot get enough delegates to win. PLEASURES OP YACUTIJfQ. Kate Field, in the Times-Herald. There are chords in the human heart that only a yacht can touch. When yachts enter the charming harbor of Newport mortals may be forgiven for having water on the brain. Looking like a flock of sea gulls with widespread wings, the almost living things transport usually placid waters into a Venetian scene. Ballboats, row boat a, steamboats, steam yachts, glide about like water snakes, and at night the harbor seems alive with huge fireflies. There are no gondolas, it Is true. No San Marco gleams in the distance, nor do winged lions keep a lookout from land. There are no Italian bands and no cantl popolarl, but there 1s a something that recalls the Bride of the Adriatic. II II II It goes without saying that without for tunes there can be no yachts. People who do not own yachts, but would if they could, frequently pour wrath on offenders who do, especially when these gentleman sail ors lay up treasures in the way of viands add neotar. They say a fellow' feeling makes one wondrous kind. Regarding cooking aa a One art, I believe It more moral to eat good food than bad, and I am willing that yachtsmen shall live well, If they live too well tha consequences re mind them of the French saying, "Chacun a son gout." Felix Holt Is the hero of a novel. He despises money, frowns upon his good angels whan they put fortune In hlo way and Insists upon remaining poor. We of this republic know that money buys everything pleasure, comfort, lux ury, art, knowledge, culture, freedom from care hence health and happiness. Detest as we may. shoddy and vulgarity, par venus and Insolence, that to which they owe their elevation holds the balance of power. . ' ... i it " Starting with ha; s In capacious pockets lined with golden fleece, you go over the side of your yacht and set sail for any where or nowhere, as you please. You are monarch of all ysu survey. A dosen or more men do yosr bidding! nobody eon trad lets anything. , Ton eaa even keep a dog ea deck without danger of having bin thrown overboard Think of that, lovers of man's mart tolerant companion! "Ay, ay. air," Is the nattering refrain that ever greets your ear. As center of the system you can Indulge your Idiosyncrasies to tho utmost. If suffering from moral or mental cramps, due to overcontaet with society, yachting effects a speedy cure. There Is no fear of Intruders. You are at aea and ring your own bells.
