" Give the People a Chance."
Space Is given elsewhere on this pasts
to n Interesting communication u
Koatlng that the Republicans of Penn
sylvania, at their nearest coming
primaries, directly express their first
and second choice for president,
for the guidance of the Pennsylva
nia delegation to the next national
convention. The suggestion Is in
1'ne with the- new dispensation of
political dootrine In this state, which
teaches the supremacy at the masses
over the bosses, and the execution of it
wouhl do no harm and might In some
ln8tnoe do good.
The only Jbjeotlon now visible con
sists of the probability of numerous
changes in popular sentiment with
reference to presidential candidates be
tween thL3 time and 'the day of the con
vention. The indication of preferences
at 't'hJs moment, or, in fact, at any
feasible time prlor to the convention,
would have to be taken not necessarily
as mandatory but rathir as simply a
guide to the delegate's own determina
tion of his proper course tn convention.
With three or four able candidates
conspicuous in the fluid. It would be
anything fcut an easy matter for the
party at large to choose between them.
It would be a 'better plan all around to
select as delegates men whose Judg
ment is seasoned, whose probity is un
questioned, and who would cast their
votes conscientiously and for the best
Interests of the party and of Ithe coun
try, no maftter -wWat the wire-pulling.
So far as Senator Quay Is concerned,
fhere will doubtless, be no disposition
on the part of any delegalte from Penn
sylvania to Ignore his experienced Judg
ment, nor will any tfonsolentious dele
Bate become as putty In ithe senator's
hands. The Interests of the whole coun
try will dppend upon rt.he deliberations
of the next iRnpublldxn national con
vention; and these are paramount o
purely personal or selfish Interests.
The "best advice to be given to the party
In tthesc premls.-s .Is to choose thorough
ly trustworthy delegates. If the people
shall do that, they will not have reason
t lament as to the platform or the
nominee.
An article on Quay by "Oath," pub
lished a week ago, mentions Quay
twenty-two times and "Oath" 163 times.
Fortunately, Quay is not vain.
An Undeserved Accusation.
It Is not a good prelude to the fall
campaign that certain Republican fac
tions In Allegheny county ere Inviting
when they begin hus early to charge
tholr factional enemies with contem
plated treachery to the state ticket
We cannot perceive how any man
claiming to be a -Republican can con
sistently withhold his support from
that splendid ticket or fall to find in
the excellent state platform inspira
tion to active and earnest battle. Both
were selected by a unanimous vote of
the state convention: and both deserve
the complete end cordial approbation
of the party rank and file, regardless
of past differences.
The contest between Senator Quay
and Colonel Oilkeson was one mainly
for the mastery of the party organiza
tion, and was decided In favor of the
former by m, majority Jarge enough to
remove alt uncertainty as to the con
vent Ion's, wishes. Even if Mr. Quay
were disposed to punish those who re
cently opposed Mm, he could not safe
ly begin to retaliate until after the
.November election, .the result of which
will to a large extent reflect hh fidelity
to the ticket Hence his bitterest en
emy Is Justified in deferring for at
least two months the balancing of fac
tional accounts contracted during the
recent state eonfllot
But, It Is by no mean certain that
Senator Quay, now that he has secured
the strategic advantage of the state
obuirmanehlp, with Hs Important bear
ing on next year's) presidential battle,
will at all care to descend to a cam
paign of local retaliation. He i likely
to nave larger Ash to - try; and

lently forget minor recent opponents,
or. If needful, ' attempt to woo then
over. Such a course of conduct would
be the obvious politics of the situation;
and Senator Quay Is nothing If not a
consummate politician. Hence, talk of
treachery or lukewarmness with refer
ence to the present ticket Is as absurd
on its face as It is, in principle, unfair
and reprehensible.
This is not a good year for traitors.
The penalty for murder might well be
remitted In the case of the dastard who
would vent his grudge against a rail
road by wrecking a train and killing
Innocent passengers.
It Will Take Work.
It Is a ndt uninteresting clrcunvstancs
wrth reference to he platform of re
forms lately adopted at Harrlsburg
that while Ithere is same question of
the sincerity of Its author 1n proposing
such an advanced and summary pro
gramme, there 1s no criticism of. the
platform Itself. 'When we remember
the copious abuse, ridicule and derlwlon
which greeted less sweeping declara
tions by the lalte George William Curtis
ten or llflteen years ago, we marvel not
so much at Ithe luckier fate of Senator
Quay as at the completeness of Ithe
public's intervening enlightenment.
But while the public mind has of lalte
years raipldly accusltomed itself to ithe
beauties of civil service reform as a
theory, must not be forgotten tha,t
much work -Will yot too required to
transform that alluring theory Inlto
accomplished fact. The disposition to
hold to one thing in the Imagination
and to quite another it'hlng In every
day life Is fully as strong today as at
any preceding time. As D. iMed.
Means says, 4n the September Forum,
"We know how ito deal with crime on
scientific principles, and If we should
apply our knowledge he criminal
classes would In a short time be nearly
extirpated. We know how to insure
good sanitary conditions, and If we
should use What we know, "the terrible
overcrowding of the poor 'Would be ar
resUd, and only habitations fit for hu
man use would be built. We are not
ignorant of what is beautiful in archi
tecture, and might make our public
buildings Che delight of our eyes. The
children of the common people might
receive sudh education as would fill
their lives with sweetness and Ilglvt.
In a thousand iways w might engage
In the service of the community the
limitless powers of naiture and the in
exhaustible devotion of man, These
Ideals can be realized. But they can
never be realized If the government of
our cliiles is to remain In itihe future in
such hands as 'have controlled it In the
post."
In our own sltajte the practical steips
necessary to the realization of moderate
expectations of improvement in the di
reatdon Indicated in the Republican
state platform are, first, the nomination
and election of truly representative
legislative candidates, and secondly, the
taking by each citizen of an active and
Intelligent interest In these legislators'
doing's at Uarriflburg, under circum
stances which will let the law-makers
know that ithey are being watched. It
will ibe necessary, in many Instances,
for present representatives to be
cihanged, in favor of men of assured
honuaty and mental liberality. To
make these changes will be probably
to incur animosities and to sacrifice,
for a time, ithat placid tenor of routflne
Indifference behind which the better
clement almost Invariably conceals its
talent for performing the duties of
citizenship. Burt df It 4s worth while to
talk about better government, it ought
to be worth while to do some little real
work for It; and unless realaawork is
done, better government need not be
expected to materialize.
A retirement from politics Is pre
dicted by certain prophets to occur not
long hence in the vicinity of the rev
enue collectorshlp; but prophecies are
not all true.
Let the People Rule.
The question of the relative advan
tages of an appointive over an elective
Judiciary has again been raised; and
the fact has been cited that forty years
ago John iStuart Mill pointed out the
dangers of the present elective plan
and counseled Its abolition. All of
which Is true, but what does it prove?
Simply that Ideal conditions, viewed
through the kindly perspective of the
Imagination, look more inviting than
real ones, bedaubed as the latter in
variably are In consequence of the In
evitable wear and tear of life.
There exists today no insuperable
obstacle between the people and a Judi
cial system as well-nigh Ideal as Is
possible of attainment while men re
main fallible. The machinery of our
elections is such as to permit the elec
tion of as good and true men to the
bench as could, under any proposed
system, be appointed. If the men who
are eleoted fall below the desired stand
ard, the power of remedy lies with the
electorate Itself, and may be applied
whenever the people shall see fit If In
any quarter the bench is spotted with
the mud of party strife, it is because
the opposing partisans are willing to
admit Judges as targets for their fusil
lade; and this willingness would not
disappear were the source of Judicial
authority to revert, under an appoint
ive system, to an Intermediary agent
It Is well to have all branches of the
public service directly and fairly re
flect the character, temper and Ideals
of the people behind that service.
When this Is the fact, we have a de
mocracy. When it Is otherwise, we
have a government equivalent In prin
ciple, If hot in name, to a tyranny. If
the people Want partisan Judges, let
them elect such men to the bench. If
they want fair, learned and Impartial
Judges, let them be put to the trouble
to see that such men afre nominated
and elected. There la no artifice of
manipulation which can absolve the
electors tn 4 democracy from their duty
as sovereigns; and If they shirk that
duty and suffer In consequence, let
them endure the pain until they are
inspired by it to remedy the evil which
creates the pain. '
Bines Senator Quay achieved his vic
tory In the state convention theXp haa
been a treat launching of gubernato
rial booms. The senator, himself haa
seen boomed by some of his admirers.
and It Is saM he haa Inspired booms
for "Jack" Robinson, of Cheater; Colo-
nel Stone, of. Allegheny; Colonel
Watres, .of Lackawanna, and ' sundry
other gentlemen two numerous to men
tion. A lively crop of candidates for
United States senator has also ap
peared, but It Is not at all likely that
Colonel Quay bas made promises to
any one for the seat In the senate.
There Is no reason why the securi
ties of a railway property managed as
carefully as the (Lehigh Valley system
is at present managed, should not gain
In value In osmpany with the very no
ticeable recent Increase In Its freight
and passenger traffic. The attributing
of this gain to speculation loses sight
of the greatest and best factor In the
situation.
It is to iMayor Warwick's credit that
he does not propose to Interfere in the
threatened factlonaj light in Philadel
phia, ibetween the Quay and Martin
henchmen. As mayor 'his duty Is to the
city, as a whole.
. Senator Quay will no doubt yet re
mind some of bis over anxious (Phila
delphia adherents that aa state chair
nun bis first obligation Is to the Re
publican party.
We observe that one William Har

gun to talk with as much volubility as
if he were not already dead and burled.
When the Philadelphia Inquirer has
been sued for libel a few more times.
It will perhaps appreciate the virtue
of minding Its own business.

(JIVE THE PEOPLE A CHANCE.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The newspapers of Pennsylvania
are ut this time vigorously discussing and
(peculating upon the probable choke of
Senator Quayi with reference to the presi
dential nomination next year, tioine of
them say he is for Heed, others predict
that he will favor Cameron, and a fw
suifgest that he will be a candidate him
self. Nearly all of them appear to take
for granted that the senator will have
absolute control of the Pennsylvania dele
gation and that Us sixtv-roiir memlwri
will be obedient to his wishes, no matter
wnat iney may De. tt never seems to
occur to these newspapers to oak the ques
tion, "Whom do the Republican masses
of Pennsylvania desire as their candidate
Tor president?" The only proposition they
regard as worth considering Is "Who is
Senator Uuay's man?" This would imnlv
that In the opinion of a large majority of
iik nepuuiiran journals or tnis state
Senator Quuy, to all Intents and purposes,
constitutes the Heliubliran nartv nr hnn.
sylvwnla, and that in the selection of a
candidate for the presidency, in so far as
the party in this state Is concerned, his
wiimipb win oe unaiaputeu anu unopposed.
If this be acceoted as the aj-tnnl ltimtlrn
then Indeed huve the Republicans of the
Keystone stute ceased to be entitled 'o
any consHjeruiion wnatever at the hands
of Republicans In other states.
Pennsylvania stands at the head of the
column of Republican, states. Her major
ities have been greater than those of any
other commonwealth during the past few
years. No other state Is so deeply Inter
ested In the restoration of Republican
policy in our national government, and
more especially in a return to a wise and
sound protective tariff system. There is
not any doubt whatever that the Repub
licans of this great state have a decided
preference as between the half doxen dis
tinguished men who are named In connec
tion with the presidential nomination.
Why not give them the opportunity to ex
press that preference? Surely It Is not
too much to ask that the more than half
a million of earnest citizens who compose
the Republican party of Pennsylvania be
permitted to Indicate their choloe for a
presidential candidate. County and state
conventions are not reliable exponents of
popular sentiment. There Is only one
way by which to accurately ascertain the
wishes of the masses of a political party
with reference to the nomination of can
didates, and that Is by giving them the
opportunity to express their Individual
choice on the ballots they cast at the pri
mary elections.
How easily this can be done may be seen
by a little Illustration: A week from next
Saturday the Republicans of Lackawanna
will elect delegates to a county conven
tion. The delegates then elected will
meet the following Tuesday to select two
men to represent this congressional dis
trict In the next Republican national
convention. It may be admitted in ad
vance that tn the selection of these two
national delegates the county, convention
will be controlled exclusively by consid
erations other than a personal preference
for the presidential nomination. Whether
McKlnley, Reed, Harrison, Allison, Cam
eron or Quay shall tie the candidate will
receive no consideration In the county
convention. It follows that when the two
national delegates have been chosen no
body will have any Idea for whom their
votes will be east In the national con
vention. The delegates themselves will
have no authentic guide as to the actual
preference of the constituency they rep
resent It is expected that In the election of
the delegates to the county convention a
week from next Saturday a very full Re
publican vote will be polled. It would be
a very easy matter to ascertain how the
Republicans of Lackawanna county stand
with reference to the presidential nomi
nation. All that would be necessary Is to
have space on the tickets for the voter
to write the name of his first and second
choice for president. If this were done
threuyhout the state there Is not the least
doubt that the preference of Pennsyl
vania Republicans would be Indicated.
This would not necessarily deprive tho
delegates of Independence of action In the
national convention. Lackawanna Repub
licans might express a decided preference
for McKlnley end so long ns there Is a
chance for his nomination the delegates
from thle district would be expected to
respect the wishes of their constituents;
after that they would be free to exercise
their own Judgment tor even their own
preference.
:!!:
Senator Quay is the recognised leader
of the Republican party of Pennsylvania
and will be an Important and Influential
factor In the national convention. Thnt
candidate who secures bis support In the
convention will be exceedingly fortunate.
It in also Important that the Pennsyl
vania delegation, whether wholly con
trolled by Senator Quay or not, shall not
do violence to the aentimsnt end wishes
of the Republican masses In this great
Republican commonwealth. It is a mat
ter of Interest to know where Senator
Quay stands with reference to the presi
dency, hut it Is of inffnltelv more impor
tance to nscertsln whom the more thnn
half a million Republicans of Pennsyl
vania desire nominated. That ran he ss
eertslned by submitting the question to
the Individual voters st the primaries,
the only lsce where the voters can ex
Twees their preference. Give the neoole a
chneel Very truly, J. D. Laciar.

THAT REFORM PLANK.
Worth Accepting at Pass Valne.
Chleas. Inter-Ocean: "It Is significant
of the Irresistible force of the current of
sentiment that Senator Quay pronounces
himself emphatically In favor of civil ser
vice taw for Pennsylvania. A content po
rn ry doubts the earneatness of his profes
sion. The senator fa 'toe much a machine
politician.' says the Journal in question, to
favor reform. Our contemporary haa not
studied, or, having studied, has failed to
discern, the forces by which civil service
roform has been made victorious, firstly
In Great Britain, secondly in the United
States. Sentimental forces, undoubtedly,
were st work In both countries, but the
reform was carried to a successful issue
mainly by two classes of earn; to the one
class belong the business mea. who belter
that civil servants should be specialist,
as bank clerks, mercantile aasajers, law
yers, stenographers and newspaper men
ore, people entering uoion the tivjl ser
vice aa a career, aad aot as a makeshift;
to the other class belong the 'practical
politicians,' the 'machine men.' If you will,
of the higher type. No man is more
fully aware of the abuses of patronage
and of the evils of the political Influence
of municipality and trading corporations
than Senator Quay, who has but yester
day, as it were, triumphed over both.
Therefore, rt Is safe to say that he la not
thundering In the Index.' Moreover, his
declaration wast not made as a bid for aid
during the progress of his campaign, but
In the hour of his victory. It may be well
to accept the senutor'a declaration at Its
face value. Ha never has been a maker
of rash promises, or a promulgator of
fatuous generalities."
-::-The

Pittsburg Commercinl-Oasette: "It Is
known to all that the reform plank was
written by Mr. Quay himself, and hence it
Is doubly incumbent upon him. as the di
recting head of the party organisation,
to execute the demands of the convention.
Thut means a great deal more than the
people yet fully realize. It means an end

freedom and fairness In bestowing state,

ing of frunchisps In which the public have

and In the state legislature. These are

quired Is for the friends of purer politics
and better government to do their whole

Heat Proffrnmrns Yet Outlined.
Indianapolis Journal: "The civil service
of the professional is superficial compared
with th:'t which Senator Quay has out
lined. The former Is conllned chiefly to a
belief In competitive examinations for ad
mission, while the reform demanded by
Mr. Oiiav. If corrlw Into effect, would In

An F.vll Ton Long Ncftlcctcd.
Altoona Tribune: "At present Pennsyl
vania has not taken a einitle Btep In the
direction of civil service reform. One re
sult of this slowness Is that after the elec
tion of Governor Hastings ho was beset
and besieged by applicants for position to
such an extent that he was fairly over
whelmed. Later on tho legislature bur
dened the people 'by the creation of several
new and wholly unnecessary otllces, while
additional room was made In otllces ul
ready existing for new clerks. This would
never hove happened had the state been
blessed with civil service regulations. A
law of this sort would have saved the peo
ple considerable money and would have
relieved pinblic officials from the pressure
of office-seekers, giving them all the more
time to amend to their duties as servants
of the taxpayers. It would seem as
though every man in public life should bo
glad to have a custom In vopue that would
render uselesl nil importunity for fnvors
In the way of places under government."
