One week from next Wednesday, the Republican party in Pennsylvania will declare Its Independence; and one week from next Thursday every good Repub lican in the commonwealth will be found Inakle th party traces, loyally working for the success of the party's nominees. A Chapter ol True History. The Scranton Republican so reckless ly persists In misrepresenting the friends of the Hastings administration in this county, that it has become nec essary to make explanations which it was hoped needed not be made. There is nothing in the campaign bo successfully waged by the 'friends of Governor Hastings in Lackawanna that requires concealment: on the contrary, their ac tion throughout has been such as will command the respect of fair-minded and honora'ble Republicans whatever their preferences may be as between Mr. Gllkeson and Senator Quay for the state committee chairmanship. The repeated declaration of the Re publican that .war was made on Senator Quay by the Hastings men, is simply not true. The Republican, either is Inexcusably ignorant of the true his tory of the campaign in this county or it purposely misrepresents. When Judge Wlltard was appointed to the Superior court there was no expectation of such a contest between the state ad ministration and Senator Quay. The only thought among Lackawanna Re publicans 'Was the importance of Judge 'Wlllard's nomination and election for the full term In order that our county might have a representative on the bench. The probability of a bitter con test for the election of the state dele gates was scarcely thought of until the Republican disturbed the existing harmony by a vicious and unprovoked attack upon Governor Hastings and Judge Wlllard. 'Even. after that the friends of Wlllard and the state admin istration were ready to effect an hon orable compromise on a basis of har mony and fairness. Vp I'V.Tinoll Pjilnnal THrila n1ynil Watres and other friends of Judge Wll lard, proposed that to the latter be ex tended the courtesy of designating who should be the delegates to the state convention, that they be elected solely In his interest without reference to the state chairmanship, and to be entirely free to act as they deemed best to pro mote Mie success pf Judge Wlllard. This eminently liberal, fair and honor a'ble proposition, if accepted by the Quay adherent's, would have averted the bitter contest for delegates to the state convention and the delegates would have been left free to act as they thought most advantageous to Judge Wlllard's interests. Rut .the Quay ex tremists rejected this offer of peace and harmony, and thrust Into the field can didates for state delegates who, while pretending to 'be the friends of Judge Wlllard, .made no secret of the fact that their first allegiance -was to Quay. This unreasonable action of the Quay followers could not be regarded other wise than as a challenge to battle. Then a representative of Senator Quay appeared on the scene, and at a con fermce with Congressman Scranton and a few others the assurance was given that "the administration faction could be easily downed," nd open war was declared by the Quay organ. Next came Senator Quay himself. He, too, seemed to have Imbibed the Idea that a battle would be preferable to a com promise. The terms he offered were lit tle short of a demand for an uncondi tional surrender by the supporters, of the administration. This was' rejected, of course, but the proposition was made to Quay's local representatives to concede to them three of the seven dele gates. This, too, was rejected, and then, and not until then, did the friends of the administration, who are also the -rial friends of Judge Wlllard, fully realise that a fierce battle had been forced upon them. Every proposition for peaco and harmony had been re jected (by Quay's representatives. The Hastings adherents had successively offered to send the delegates to the state convention simply as Judge WU lard's friends,' to be free to act In any way theft would best serve his Interests; or -to divide the delegation, conoedlng three to Quay and four to Ihe adminis tration. Both these offers of . peace were rejected.. The Quaj?, extremist thought they could capture the entire delegation In a fight and their ultima- turn waa tiNvlalmo Prom that time there was no alter native for the friend of Judge Wlllard hut 'to espouse the cause Of Governor Hastings and his administration. It wis the only hopj of Judg Wlllard's uootss In the state'onvel6.' It tie came absolutely infflsjJensabls-tliat ,hls own oounty send to Hsrriiburff, dele gates who would ally, themselves with the anti-Quay men in othe sections of the state. Judge Wllland jlmstlf ap predated the correctness tithis conclu sion mad h't no tine been fat Srtrt- anct? with his supporters. He realized that bis friends had made every ad vance and offered to make every con cession that could be expected of them, and tnat every overture for harmony and peace made by Mr. Connell, Colonel Ripple, Governor Watres and his other supporters, had been Insolently re jected ljy the local representatives of Senator Quay. Messrs. Penman, Brooks, Dale, Finn and the rest of Quay's chosen chief tains Invited and forced the battle in Lackawanna county. They Vere puffed up with the idea of "smashing the administration faction," and, re jecting every proffer of compromise and peace, took up the sword. They have perished by the weapon of their own choosing. Our purpose and desire Is that the Republicans of Lackawanna county shall correctly understand the situation and know the true history of this contest. They should no longer be misled by the false representations of the Republican and Truth. There has been no deception, no false pretense on the part of Judge 'Wlllard or the Hast ings people In this county. They have been consistent throughout, have acted In good faith from the beginning and will remain true to their own manhood and Republicanism to the end. The seven delegates elected to the state convention were chosen as the friends of Judge Wlllard. It their elec tion had not been antagonized with such factional recklessness by the Quny extremists these delegates would have gone to (Harrisburg free to act with reference to the state committee chairmanship as they might deem best for Judge Wlllard. The Quay faction would not accept honorable terms, courted a tierce battle lnstend, and now that they are vanquished they whine like a lot of whipped school boys. The Quay leaders know that the above statements are absolutely true In every particular. Mr. Quay knows that hon orable and even liberal terms were of fered him by Mr. Connell and those who acted with him, and were rejected. Let the responsibility rest where It properly and Justly belongs. It doe not rest on the shoulders of the sup porters of Judge Wlllard and the Hast ings administration. Next thing we know, Quoy will be ordering Gllkeson to resign in his be half. . The Result In York. Quay bluff, brag and bluster made a good deal of noise In Tork county, but when the final round-up .was taken, It was conclusively demonstrated that Governor Hastings and his administra tion had the delegates. The Quay forces were routed more than 2 to 1. The highest Quay candi date received only CO votes In the county convention, while the highest administration candidate was success ful by a vote of 139, making the ratio of supremacy nearly 2 -Z to 1. Reso lutions 'Were passed Instructing the county's four delegates for Hastings and Gllkeson. ' Inside of ten days it will be appar ent to the most obtuse that notwith standing the loudness of their brag ging and the furious energy of their claims, the Quay forces are in a minor ity and will sue for peace. The man who permits these expert ibluffers to scare him should study and profit by the returns from York. When Quay was sick, Quay a saint would be, tout If Quay got well, the devil a saint would he be. What Quay' Success Would Jlean. The few Quay organs which yet keep up the useless -pretense that Quay's succession Aug. 28 would not Imperil the chances for renomlnatlon of the gover nor's Superior court appointees wisely do not figure out how Quay could be chosen state chairman without first achieving that court's reconstruction. Under the present rules, as we have heretofore pointed out, the successor of Chairman Gllkeson must be chosen by the seven nominated candidates, to gether with the permanent chaTrman of the convention. These rules cannot be changed by less than a two-thirds vote. (Let it be conceded that Senator Quay is sure of the support of Judge Wick ham and Candidate for State Treas urer Haywood for state chairman; to win, he will need three more votes. Where will he get them? Would Wll lard, Rice, Orlady, Heaver oriReeder go back on the governor to the extent of making a private deal with Quay? Would either of these men, much less three of them, In the event of his nomi nation by the state convention, consent to the humiliation of the official by whom he was appointed or In any way sanction the candidacy of his chief enemy and avowed opponent? What would be thought of a judge; what would be thought, In fact, of any man who, after becoming a part of the pres ent administration In Pennsylvania should, when that administration was unjustifiably attacked, sell out for a mess of pottage to the commander-in-chief of the assailant forces? A deal with Quny, by any of these men, would be Just that, and nothing but that. It would be an exhibition of the most odious kind of rogue's poli tics In the second highest Judicial posi tion -In the commonwealth; and we must respectfully decline to believe any member of the present Superior court capable of It. No, the one hope of the Quay forces Is to unseat the Hastings appointees, at least enough of them to render possible, the court's reconstruc tion Into a facile auxiliary of Senator Quay's audacious warfare upon . the Hastings administration. Talk to the contrary is not only false; It la also futile, and organs .that give prominence to It simply waste space. Judge Wlllard's Interests would toe sacrificed at Harrisburg Were hla home delegates to betray Hastings by flopDing to Quay. - ' ..- . , , . - . Lest Gllkeson might "doctor the roll Call" Colonel Quay, wtth characteristic generosity, kindly volunteers to do It himself. . ..-v. - S ' " t The almost universal tendency of the times la to resent the domination of American politics by arrogant and. un scrupulous bosses. The osan have had a lon$ term at the public crib. If they aren't tn shape to retire cracefuUy. to (he enjoyment of possessed plunder, they need not (be surprised If they are kicked out. . The paternal solicitude of Senator Quay for civil service reform and other political virtues has, if we may trust current reports, at last reached a point where, rather than let any of his op ponents jeopardize their future by the misuse of money, he generously stands ready to do all the buying himself. Congratulations to, the Truth. With considerable pleasure we ob serve that the Scranton Truth has at last ceased to profess friendliness for Judge Wlllard while covertly trying to stab him In the back. It has finally desisted from Its Judas attitude, and Is now boldly hostile. This Is In every re spect the more manly course. A man can stand It to be fought openly, but no man knows how to guard against the sneaking snake In the grass. We trust that the Scranton Truth will hereafter have the courage to dis continue Its spurious pretensions ot po litical Independence, which no longer trick the people of this valley; and that it will from this time onward be one thing or another, either fish, flesh or fowl. It is not our business, to be sure; but we do despise shams. The difference between Democratic and Republican financiering 4s just this: In Democratic times It's the syn dicate that makes the margin, while under Republican rule the people pocket the profits at (bond sales. Must the Horse Become Extinct? That the great popularity of the bi cycle, coming colncldently with the widespread application of electricity to utilitarian uses, would suggest a com bination of the two in the form of a "horseless carriage" was natural enough; and now I hut inventive skill In a dozen places is wrestling with the problem, substantial achievements ma) soon (be expected. iMiuy obstacle en tirely apart from the problem uf pro pulsion have, however, flret to be over come 'before the horseless carriage will come into general vttgue. In the first place the country roads will neexl to be Improved. In few direc tions apart from the new 'boulevard cou'ld a horseless carriage (be satisfac Vorily propelled In the vicinity of Scran ton. Then, again, 'the vehicle must be of reasonable cost. As tihe case now plan da, a good horseless carriage capa ble ot seating four people and running up hill and down at a good gait, would cost from $1,000 to $1,760. Our New York namesake learns, indeed, that a new company has 'been organized Jn a western, city for the manufacture of a horseless carriage of a much lighter and simpler build. It will, however, seat only two, Instead of four people. It Is proposed to sell ti'his new horseless car riage at as low a price as $350. This carriage weighs 600 pounds, complete, the motor for It weighing 120 pounds. The wheels are fitted with solid rubber tires and have 'ball bearings. A speed of from three to eixl:een mites' an hour 1s attributed to It. The normal speed is said to he ten .miles an hour, but the simple pressing of a bullion quickens t'ha action of the motor. The motor Is of the gasoline explosion type and the tank con-ialning the liquid will hold enough for a trip of 100 miles. One pe culiar excellence claimed Is that when going at twelve miles an hour this ve hicle can 'be stopped within four feet. Hut this Is largely anticipatory. In order to compete successfully, so far as the multitude of riders. .Is concerned, with the old-faflhioned horse-power car riage, the new vehldle would (have to cost but litf'.le .more than, the present type of carriages, and render equally acceptable service.

(But .not before. The torrid -midsummer season Is In debted to Pennsylvania politics for at least one vociferous diversion. It Is In debted to It for Quay's appearance as a "Reformer." If anybody doubts that Quay Is a genuine reformer, let htm seek for re assurance toy looking up the immacu late record of Senator "Bill" Andrews. When scrutinizing the galaxy of the Quay rcfonmers don't neglect to study the chaste and salnfly countenances of "Is." Durham and "Jim" McManes. It Is a mistake to suppose that the Re publican party Is not bigger .by a large majority than any man In It. Speaking of reform, we must not overlook that sealous Quay understudy, St. Frank Willing (Leach. COMMENT OF THE PRESS. Where the Dattls Kages. Philadelphia Bulletin: "The friends of Governor Hastings have every reason to be confident of securing not less than six sevenths of tht city's delegation. -With sixty votes from Phllodolphla they will control tho convention. The one and only hope of B.mator Quay lies in making a break In the Hastings forces In the city. If he cannot obtain, more than ten dele gates, he cannot secure a majority of the convention. The efforts of the Quay fac tion In the next few days will, therefore, be concentrated In a desperate asault on the administration lines In Philadelphia. Up to this time there are no Indications that the estimate which assigns sixty dele sates to the anti-Quay men will not hold good at the primaries. It Is upon the verification of that estimate on Tuesday next at the polls that the administration leaders base their confidence of a victory In the State convention." . , Quay's New Ospsrture. Lebanon Report! "Success has turned the heads of the shrewdest men; it la a fickle mistress, snd Mr. Quay is a shrewd man. but yet a man. For several reasons there seems occasion for the belief that for once he has overreached himself In his anxiety to score a point. Matthew Stanley Quay, Boss, sounds natural and charac teristic; Matthew Stanley Quay .Reformer, seems unnatural and foreign. There is an odor of sanctity about the word reform, which was never even suspected to hang about the word bona. There are associated with It men of honesty, purity, Incorrupt ibility, and good principles, which have al ways been regarded as the very antitheses of the boodlera, vote-buyers, and ward heelers who travel with the boss. They have been regarded these words reform and boss as the north snd the south poles of the political world, the very senlth and nadir of the world of polities. .Now It is as a toss that the Honorable Matthew Stanley Quay ass made bis record, has won his battles, has clinched his held. It Is as a boss that lie reached the seaate. that he beoame dictator to tfc RruttbUcaa party uf the state, that he has precipitated this struggle. Such a auci-eajful disciple and inaater of art of bomism baa he been that he ia universally ranked la the -tort circle of nineteeath ceutury tyrants, which embracea and ia made up of Uoa Piatt and boss Croker. Higher honor of Its kind coulil hardly be hoped for. The pinnacle of fa ma Is all but reached. It but remains for Boss Itatt aad Boss Croker to die. and Bona Quay will be with out a rival. Can Boss Quay be Reformer Quay? Can. a nan have two masters? Can he serve both Ood and Mammon? It ia doubtful. The world has never seen It done. If the Honorable Matthew Stan Icy Quay succeeds In such an undertaking, he will have made a new world's record for bosses. For once It looks as though he has made a gigantic blunder." Not a Strong Kxeentlve. Reading Tlmo: "The Scranton Tribune hits a very prominent nail squarely on Ihe head when It says that a good many people In the United States would like to know Just what Minister Bayard, our rep resentative tp Great Britain meant when ha at a recent banquet In iAimlon declared that 'the American people nued a etroiig man to govern them.' It is possible to place upon that remark a construction far from complimentary to the American people. Minister Hayard supplemented the above remark with Ihe obervaton that President Cleveland Is the kind of strong man required. It would be highly InterestiiiK 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." Fights Personal nictation. Philadelphia Bulletin: "Governor Hast ings kos before the party claiming the same right to manage his administration without being hampered by a machine. He Is willlnK to be responsible to the Republi can people, but not to Senator Quay. He uleads for Douular and not personal rule of the party organization, und the courage which he has shown In l.retiking tne tnongs that have so long held Republican ad ministrations at Harrisburg In subjection to the one-man power of Cameron or of Quny entitles him to tho generous and cordial support of every Philadelphia Re publican who values integrity and Inde pendence In office."

A TRIBUTE. 10 Rue du Oentllhnmme, Urussels, Belgium, August 2, ISM. Editor of The Tribune. Dear Sir: The sad announcement of the death of my friend W. tleorgo Powell has just come to me. I knew h m so wen. loved him so much, and appreciated his talents so thoroughly' that the news of his departure casts a deep shadow over my own life and I write to send a brief tribute to his memory from over the sea. Our friendship dates ten years back when I was In charmi of the Kdwnrdsville public scnools. After his graduation from the PotUVIlle high school, he began, his successful career as a teacher under my supervision and our relations ever since have been most cordial. Since my re moval to California seven years ago, our intercourse has been kept up by correspon dence; and when I wus In Scranton two years ago we met by appointment and re vlved the memories of the three years to pleasantly passed together. Mr. Powell's mind was remarkably well stored, as evinced In all his writings and his compass of Invention and luxuriance of poetic fancy much more than, usual. He was at his best In poetry; his verses are replete with clnsslcal allusions and always tHshloned after tne best models. possess eight or ten sonnets from his pen and without an exception tney are shrewd caustic, and careful, and represent m.int fest enorgy of expression and condensed felicity of thought. Of these "The Death of Burns," "Longfellow In Italy," and "Shelly's Prometheus Unbound" probably best indicate tne classical correctness ana the rlosencss of his style: and In. all of them one notes delicate touches and pleas ing descriptions. In "The Welsh Harp" and "The Dreum. he marshals nis uidaC' tic measures with the cane and precision of a trained poet. They are full of lyrical mel ody and natural tenderness and seem to have been dictated by real pulses or reel ing. I recall also nn "Ode to Venus," printed In one of Ihe Scranton papers, which had a view of fine fcellntr unsur passed by a writer of his years. His voice was a sweet one, full of promise for the future. And now It Is stilled! So soon! The sorrow which Is yours, I share with you and because he was my friend I "end you I his little note touching upon same of his literary contributions which rank with our better literature.
