Election day, Nov. 3.
From no-w onward the (Pennsylvania
Democracy will so swell with expecta
tion of office that when lit burets, on
Nov. 6. the publio will be unablo to dis
cover a sigrn of it.
The York Convention.
With harmony once more thoroughly
assured among the masses of their
party, Pennsylvania Republicans can
with pleasure lend their presence or
active Interest to this week's conven
tion of the State Republican league at
York. The programme provided for
that great gathering of ibright and de
termined young Republican yeomanry
Is a brilliant one, and well calculated
to elicit enthusiastic appreciation.
The list of speakers and detailed out
line of other promised pleasures ap
pear elsewhere In this paper and speak
eloquently enough In their own behalf.
It is here necessary only to refer to
them; and to couple to that reference
the suggestion that after the two
months of brotherly throat-cutting In
which the active political leaders of the
state have been engaged with more
than common teal, a visit to Tork and
a participation in the week's many
harmonies there contemplated and as
sured will tie like a political benlson,
ootihlng, healing and blessing.
Moreover, next year la the year of
tall game; and the 'Republican league Is
the one effective and place-respecting
Instrument with which unselfish Re
publicanism can bring that game down.
Without offense, we fear that Colonel
Barnle, of our town, Is trying to be
come the Gllkeson of base ball.
Kev. Mr. Partridge's Departure.
Very general regret will follow the
announcement that ' Rev. Warren G.
Partridge, pastor of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church, has at last decided to
accept a recent call to a larger pas
torate In Cincinnati. At the same time,
friends of Mr. iPartrldge will rejoice In
this substantial token of the recog
nition commanded by his virile and
practical ministrations.
The present," we take It, la not an In
appropriate occasion to call public at
tention to the splendid result which
have been achieved by the Penn Ave
nue congregation during Mr. Part
ridge's pastorate. It needs not the
customary comparison of statistics to
inform any close observer of local re
ligious movements concerning the very
perceptible stimulus which has been
imparted to church work In Bcranton
since the location of Mr. Partridge
among us. Especially noticeable has
been the quickening of. Interest and
energy In the secular departments of
the Baptist denomination to which Mr.
Tartrldge has ministered In the sev
era! old and many new auxiliary
agencies that have gained popularity
and usefulness under his praotlcal
guidance. M has. obviously been the
retiring pastor's belief that a form of
faith without dally visible and tan
gible substance is vain; and that the
true Christianity Is a thing even more
of deeds than of words. llonce his
constant aim has been to develop the
practical side, leaving the theoretical
largely to itself.
The withdrawal from our community
of such a pastor Is, In any light, a
publio misfortune. But the forces and
the methods thus happily developed
need not, and we trust will not, lag
under new direction. This Is pre-eminently
a practical age, which can not
be In much danger of having, In Us
churches, stores or workshops, a sur
feit of healthy, vigorous, practical
Christianity.
New Tork Journals are complaining

More Democratic economy,".
The Democratic majority In the last
congress had peculiar notions respect
ing what they called "economy" In
making appropriations. The estimates
of the head of departments Were cut
down for the purpose of making a
showing of 'economy" in expenditures.
As a result of these foolish methods the
war department is short aboui f 60,000
with which to pay army officers and
consequently a number of them have
not yet received the pay due them last
June. Secretary of War" Lamont, ac
cording to Washington dispatches, has
offered to advance the amount from

unpaid until congress meets next De
cember and makes a special appropria
tion to cover the deficiency. This con
dition of affairs Is only another Illus
tration of Democratic Incompetency
and folly. It, Is on a par with the gen
eral record made by the Cleveland
administration and' the Democratic
congress that came Into power with it.
By deferring that obviously needed
asphalt pave, the property owners of
Mulberry street are simply mutilating
their nasal appendage to Incite pity
for their lacerated countenance.
The Pending Campaign.
The campaign In Pennsylvania this
year will formally open when the Dem
ocrats shall have held their convention
and made their nominations for state
treasurer and Judges of the Superior
court. The leaders of the Democracy
have foreshadowed the policy that will
prevail In their convention. Six can
didates for Superior court judges will
be Judiciously apportioned to the sev
eral sections of the state. They will
also be carefully selected with a view
to fitness and personal popularity. The
object of this Is apparent. It means a
determined effort to elect at least
three or four of the judges. The Dem
ocratic leaders count largely on Indif
ference and lingering factional resent
ment among Republicans for success.
There are no Indications that their
hopes In that direction will be realised.
The Republicans have had their fight
and It Is ended. They do not expect
to carry the state by a phenomenal ma
jority as was given General Hast
ings, but by a normal majority, such as
was given fur Harrison In 1894.
The situation In Pennsylvania at this
time does not give the Republicans
any concern. The party Is united In
support of the state ticket, and will re
main so, whatever the action of the
Democrats. The leaders of Democracy
are Intensely disappointed at the out
come of the Republican faction fight.
They hoped and expected that a dis
astrous rupture would be the result.
On the contrary, they are compelled to
face a united party, with both of the re
cently contending factions spurred on
by the greatest possible Incentive to
make the election as decisive as possi
ble. Chairman Quay and his' adher
ents are naturally ambitious to carry
the state by the largest possible ma
jority. Governor Hastings and his sup
porters, having secured the nomina
tions of the candidates they wanted,
will naturally exert themselves to the
utmost to make their success at the
polls overwhelming.
The Democrats are building 'on a
foundation of sand if they expect to
make capital out of the recent battle
of the Republican factions, A few of
Chairman Quay's reckless organs, like
the Scranton Republican, are trying to
keep up the dissensions, but that will
not affect the state ticket, even if Quay
himself should not call a halt on them,
as he doubtless will before the cam
paign has progressed very far.
Professor Coles' designation of Sep
tember as a month of unrest will have
liberal corroboration from those mis
guided prophets who yet owe bets they
made against Quay.
The leaning of It.
The discussion of Senator Quay's re
form programme la already fairly na
tional In scope, betokening the healthy
Interest everywhere alive to whatever
promises to make for better govern
ment and more wholesome ctvlo condi
tions. It would be vain to pretend that
there Is unanimity In the belief In Mr.
Quay's sincerity; but It Is Just to the
Junior senator to say that few news
papers doubt that his newly-enunciated
principles of political reformation
will be systematically and, to a de
gree, effectively applied.
As typical of a large class of com
ments, we may specify some remarks
by the Chicago Record, a paper never
Inclined to overfrlendllness for Mr.
Quay. This Journal does not pause
after conceding that the Pennsylvania
senator has very accurately gauged the
needs and the wishes of the great ma
jority; It adds:
Quay has a better conception of needed
reforms than many persona credited with
better intention. But will he carry out
any of hi Ideas? Many people believe
not, but If so Quay U not as far-seeing a
politli'fln as h now appear to be. The
epwlaole of this prince of "practical poli
ticians" posing as a reformer appears hu
morous, to tm sure, but that Is became he
Is thought of In .the light of a reformer
from aktritfsMo motives. He would be
nothing of the kind. He would be a re
former for the sake of porpetuatlng his
power. Just aa he had previously made use
of unravory political methods for tha
same purposes. There Is no use in deny
ing the fant that the American people,
especially In oMIns, are ruled 'to a large
extent by bosses. Ross rule is not going
to bo entirely overthrown soon, either.
Ilut the people are awak!ngto that extent
that bosses will not be tolerated who will
not grant some measure of reform. The
shrewd politician will recognise this. Quay
hna awn ,!t. and by "caterlns: to the better
element" to some decree has dnfeated his
opponents. Judfren simply from tne. sianu
tuiint nt ths nol tlntHn who wants to per
petuate his power, therefore, t would be
the snrewn mina mr " unm ,
nt least part of his programme of reform.
Liberal aflfl far-reaching reforms have
hn hrnueht about before by men who.
like Quay, embraced reform simply as a
political expea.eni.
The appearance of Mr. Quay as a re
former for the power 'there Is in that
role Is at least frank and open; facts
probably more likely to be appreciated
by the masses than specious pretence
of philanthropic Intent which, however
eloquent In publio, privately always
haggles over the pennies In the con
tribution box. We must confess that
we have been among the scoffers at
the senator's conversion; but In the
Record's view of the case this phe
nomenon Is by no means Inexplicable,
nor, when explained, hypocritical. At
all events, Senator Quay Is entitled to
a fair show, the outcome of which will
call up Ha due accompaniment of
praise or censure.
, In practice, the most popular style
of civil service reform unquestionably
Is the kind that gets you out and me In.
' Wanted -A New Rule).
Republicans and Republican papers
generally will agree with the Phlla
delphia Press ithat there Is urgent ne
cessity for a new rule to govern the
election of delegates to Republican
conventions. - In many counties of
Pennsylvania the delegates to the late
State convention were chosen a year or
more before the convention met, and
at ,a time when the contest between
the two factions of the party was not
dreamed or, ana before It was Known
jrhat candidates Ut. the Superior court
Judges would nave to be nominated.
The Press suggests the adoption of a
rule providing that all delegates should
be elected not more than sixty days
before the meeting ef a state conven
tion. There Is good sense, as well as
good politics, embodied In that proposi
tion. Even a better suggestion would
be the adoption ' of a rule providing
for the election of all delegates
throughout the state on the same day,
not exceeding sixty days before the
state convention.
The fact Is recalled that of the 2S9
delegates to the late 'Republican state
convention, 135 had been chosen before
the contest between Senator Quay and
the state administration came on. In
the counties represented by these dele
gates the people had no opportunity,
In the election of their delegates, to ex
press a preference, and there Is no cer
tainty as to how they would have
voted had they had a voice In deciding
the Issue. There Is no good reason why
such a rule as that suggested by the
Press should not be adopted, and there
are many and valid reasons why it
should be done. Unless the Republi
cans In the several counties should of
their own accord adopt this desirable
reform It Is hoped the question will be
brought before the next state conven
tion In the form of a new party rule.
Uniformity In the election of state
delegates would be a great Improve
ment on the present Irregular system.
One of the praiseworthy sights at
present visible In portions of the city is
the spectacle of repaired street cross
ings and carefully cleansed gutters. To
the author of these needed Improve
ments the public owes a vote of thanks.
This glorious autumnal season will
never be appreciated at Its true merit
until one views Its scenic beauties from
the summit of Elmhurst boulevard.
The drive thither and back, these days,
Is worth a peck of pills.
One happy thing about the Penn
sylvania Republican 'League conven
tion Is that while held in York, it will
spill no blood of Lancaster. This year's
war of the roses Is fortunately a night
mare of the past.
When delegates are elected all on
one day by the choice of practically all
the voters of a given party, It will be
a better time to talk about doing away
with the corrupt use of money at state
conventions.
Toung Sam Randall didn't swing iLe-
high's votes to Quay; but by his coming
out flat-footed for Republicanism he
scored a large beat on the record of his
distinguished father. No protectionist
can consistently remain a Democrat.
iKx-Shertff Robinson albandons poll-
tics by choice, but how many Lacka-
'wannaDamocrats, we -wonder, have left
It through necessity?
If the blood of martyrs be the seed
of the church, China will one of these
days be the site of a vigorous ecclesi
astical sprouting.
If laws are not made to be enforced,
why are they made at all?
COMMENT OF TUB PBESS.
As Viewed in Gotham.
The New York Mall and Express char
actorlxes Mr. Quay's victory over great
odds as 'An achievement no brilliant and
masterly as to compel the admiration even
of his foes. In soma respects,' it con
tinues, -It was a victory unparalleled In
the history of personal and practical poli
tics. It required for Its accomplishment
a combination of elements and powers
rarely found tn the poast awion of one man,
but which, when so possessed, mark the
man of great doeds.' Aftor bestowing the
highest praise upon th victor for his
'matchless self-mastery; his unruffled
temper; his unwearied patience; bis Inex
hautnlve vltaKty and energy; his sleep
less vigllanee; his marvelous alertness In
seizing every point of strategical advan
tage, and In short that altogether extra
ordinary combination of talent, capacity
and genius that always dlatinifulshes the
successful man, whether his cause be
Rood or bad,' the Mall and Express con
tinues: 'Still, we are convinced that the
real secret of Senator Quay's victory is
found in the fact that he was opposed by
the very men who had brought reproach
upon the Republican party of Pennsyl
vania tn general, and upon his leadership
In particular, by their political abuses ana
Infamies. There was a moral element In
the achievement. That element was rep
sented by Mr, Quay's reform professions
and promises. The circumstances con
tributing to his present supremacy In his
own state may open to him a nationnl
arena lit which to exhibit and exercise his
incomparable genius for leadership. But
the possession of such powers and the be
stowal of such honors carry with them
graive responsibilities. 'Mr. Quay must
prove the genuineness! of his reform senti
ments. There must be no masquerading."
No Tims for Revenge.
The Manufacturer! "The success that
has come to one of the factions in the con
test within the Republican party in Penn
sylvania, Imposes upon the victors posi
tive obligation to make no use of their tri
umph to gratify a spirit of revenge. Ths
voters who by their action made triumph
posHlble can have no Interest but to ob
literate, aa speedily aa may be, all mem
ory of the strife which has done so much
harm. The Republican party needs the
services of all Its workers and voters who
are fit for reputable service; and tho
leader of the triumphant action can make
no better dlaptay of his power end no bet
ter demonstration of his largeness of
mind, than by recognising as his friends
and co-laborers those who have seemed
lately to be his enemies,".
For a Winning Campaign.
Wllkes-Borre Record: "The Internal
struggle which has convulsed the Repub
lican parly In tha state Is over. The
contending elements have come together.
Factional differences are burled out of
sight. The leaders have Joined hands for
harmony and It Is the duty of the rank
and file to follow. When men like Gov

would refuse to heed their counsels."

WOMEN AND THE CHURCH.
From the Times-Herald.
The almost unanimous decision of the
Montana Methodist conference In favor
or admitting women to the general con
ference to be hold In Cleveland and giving
them all the ecclesiastical prerogatives
of men is fairly indicative of the trend of
Methodist sentiment on the question of
the new woman in that church. This mav
be contrary to the Hlbllcul Injunction to
ine eneei mat women should Keep quiet
In the church, but the new woman was not
In evidence in the time of Moses, and the
church, ir it would be progressive, must
meet me new conditions ot lite.
That the Methodist church should have
denied Its women a voire In the delibera
tions of the general conference for so long
seems strangely at variance with the
deferential regard usually accorded wo
men In other institutions that have to do
with promoting the Interests ot man s bet
ter and higher nature. To deny woman a
voice in an Institution in which she Is
admittedly a great poiver presents one of
the mysterious anomalies of ecclesias
tical government. Evidently the men who
have been governing the Methodist
church have proceeded on tho assumption
that women were good enough to ar-
rang church socials, get up Sunday
school picnics and provide tho culinary
equipments that are necessary to run the
social end of the church machinery, but
when It comes to using' her as a retposl-
lory ior prorounu ineoiogicai uogma and
trusting to her Intellect to properly weigh
tho problems of church policy she would
do rouna wanting.
And yet what would become of ths
churches without the women? The ten
denry of men In these degenerate days
to delegate all matters pertaining to the
soul to their wives Is reprehensible, but
there seems to bo no help for it. Every
thing pertaining to the spiritual power
and financial success of the churches rests
upon the unfaltering seal and unwaver
ing courage or women. They are the
never failing allies of every Instrumental
Ity that builds up the beautiful, the true
and the good. Tt therefore seems Improb
able that the Methodist church, one of
the greatest evantreiixlng powers in rhrls
tendom. will longer disregard the ex.
pressed wish of the clergy and the lnlty
In tne matter or evvintr to women innu
enee and power equal with men In the gen
eral conference
