The Grand Army.
The national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Louis
ville this week will lie attended liy a
larger number of veterans of the union
armies, and will also be the occasion
for the gathering of more survivors of
the confederate forcps than will ever
meet again In this world. There will
be an Intermingling cf the 'Blue and the
Gray, and the spirit of good-will and
harmony will prevail. The ranks of
the Grand Army are now rapidly di
minishing. Since lSai) the loss has been
at the rate of about 10.000 annually.
At the annual encampment five years
ago the rolls contained the names of a
little more than 400.000 veterans. This
year's encampment will show about
350,000. There are, however, many
thousands of survivors who have never
Identified themselves with this organi
zation. Many of them reside In sparse
ly settled communities, remote from
posts of the Grand Army. Others do
not approve of the organization, and
hold themselves aloof from It. Few
new posts are now organized, and nu
merous old ones are annually disband
ing on account of diminished member
ship and the expense of maintaining
them. In ten years from now there
will be few posts outside of the cities
and largo towns.
The people of I,ouIsvllle have made
every preparation to give the union
veterans a royal welcome, and the thou
sands in attendance from all parts of
the northern, eastern and western
states will have an opportunity to once
more visit some of the battlefields
where they engaged In a death struggle
with thnst; whom they will this week
greet as citizens of a. common country.
Ruch a reunion of old comrades and
intermingling with former enemies can
not fail to be productive of good re
sults. Since the day the great civil
war ended by the surrender pf Lee at
Appomattox there has been no feeling
of resentment among the real soldiers
that fought on either side. Within an
hour after the surrender of Lee the sol
diers who wore the Hlue were sharing
the contents of their haversacks with
those who wore the Gray. All the
ferocity of war, so far as the real fight
ers were concerned, disappeared at
Appomattox when the victorious Grant
refused to impose humiliating condi
tions on the vanquished Lee,
Among those who will meet at Louis
ville this week will be most conspicuous
survivors of the Onion and confederate
forces. Two of the greater southern
leaders still survive. They are General
John B. Gordon and General James
Longstreet, both of Georgia. The
greater union commanders Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Meade,
Logan, Hooker, liurnslde, McClellan
have all passed away. All of these
were regular attendants at the national
encampment of the Grand Army while
they lived. The disappearance of the
treat chieftains has deprived these an
nual gatherings of much of their form
er Interest Cut for at least ten or a
idosen years mors the annual, encamp
ment of the Grand Army wilt bring to
gether ' considerable numbers of the
men - who put down the greatest re
bellion of modern times and saved the
American union to posterity, -
The Grand Army of the Republic It
self will In time disappear. Only few of
Its members are now under fifty years
,of age and only a small number have a
reasonable expectation of more than
fifteen years of llte..'.., M
We have no doubt of the sincerity of
General Clarkson's expressed belief
that Senator Quay's platform proscrib
ing the use of money in politics for
corrupting purposes was "Impelled . by
sincere motives; and through a, deslr
M firs tha people bonsai, business
like politics." The movement, he adds,
"will be welcomed by every practical
politician, and If the influence of money
can be eliminated from politics it will
prove an acceptable departure all
around." Politics, from the standpoint
of old veterans like Mr. Clarkson, is a
game in which the corrupt use of
money is one of the dullest ways of
winning. To be sure, each side has to
keep its end up; but the real skill Is not
in the wagering but in the playing; and
every professional would be more than
glad If a time should come when never
a cent would be necessary above strict
ly legitimate expenses.
Senator Hill's "personal liberty" cry
will have the exuberant acquiescence
of his distinguished Democratic col
league, Brewer .Murphy, of Troy.
The Democratic Convention.
This week the Democrats of Penn
sylvania will meet in state convention
at Wllliamsnort to nominate their state
ticket and adopt a platform. The
leaders have decreed that a full ticket
for judges of the Superior court shall
be nominated, and as a consequence a
swnrm of aspirants has appeared In
the Held, representing every sect lun of
the state. This Is accounted for by the
fact that one of the six will be elected.
Each hopes to be the lucky one, hence
the unseemly scramble for places on
the ticket.
When Governor Hastings appointed
the seven judges he selected a prom
inent Philadelphia attorney named
McCarthy as the Democratic member
of the court. All the other aspirants
for nominations are demanding that
Judge McCarthy be defeated In tho
convention. They claim that being al
ready on tha bench he would have some
advantage over his colleagues on the
ticket. Nothing Is alleged against
Judge (McCarthy's fitness, nor against
his Democracy. If the programme Is
carried out and Judge McCarthy de
feated In the convention, there will be
a lively slashing of the Democratic can
didates. With six nominees on the
ticket the friends of each will try to
place their favorite In the lead by
scratching the names of the other five.
This ought to and will add very ma
terially to the majority of the Re
publican candidates. The notion enter
tained by some of the Democratic or
gans that there is a chance for the
election of more than one Democratic
Judge of the Superior court Is all non
sense; the six present Republican
Judges will be elected by large major
ities because practically all Republi
cans will vote the whole ticket.
There are no dissensions In the Re
publican party. The utmost harmony
prevails throughout the state and all
Republicans are Interested In making
the best possible record preceding the
more Important national elections next
year. It Is said Harrlty will make an
effort to save Judge McCarthy, but It Is
not certain he will succeed. It Is ex
pected that either Lackawanna or Lu
zerne will capture one of the places on
the ticket. The former will present
the name of Judge Smith, and the lat
ter that of Asa R. Brundage. As be
tween the two the Influence of Harrlty
will naturally be for Smith, and conse
quently Smith will defeat 'Ilrundage in
the convention.
The platform to be adopted will, of
course, be "Democratic" from begin
ning to end. It will have to be ingen
iously drawn, however, to harmonize
the conflicting elements In the party.
It will, of course, endorse the Cleve
land administration and Cle-eland's
financial views. Perhaps the platform
makers will not denounce Senator
Quay this year In view of the fact
that the entire Democratic press of the
state stood by him so nobly In his late
battle for party leadership. It would
be in decidedly bad taste for the con
vention to take the regulation fling at
Quayism after the press of the Demo
cracy made such a lively fight for him
only a few weeks ago. The conven
tion at Wllllamsport this week Is an In
teresting event, of course, but It Is of
very little Importance.
If Luzerne hasn't anything else to
send to Atlanta, It might square mat
ters by exhibiting Its nerve.
Hill on Personal Liberty.
Senator Hill, in his speech at Elmlra
last Saturday, laid down the issue upon
whloh rha Kmplre state Democracy will
se;k to capture the next legislature.
He made a long, ardent and scholarly
plea for personal liberty In those details
of conduct for whlch each individual
is morally responsible to nobody but
himself; and then twisted this proper
and reasonable argument Into a de
fence of the open violations of the
Gotham excise law during the sway of
Tammany, thus entirely neutralising
the abstract merit of 'his forceful pro
logue. The senator charges that the meth
ods of enforcement adopted by the
Roosevelt regime In New York city are
utiuuual, unfair and unpopular; that
they are adhered to through fondness
for notoriety and from a vain pleasure
In personal prominence; and that the
general effect of such an era of thea
tric and arbitrary execution of one se
lected law, without the devotion of uni
form attention and energy to all the
statutes against public nuisances and
misdemeanors, Is calculated rather to
bring the Institutions of Justice Into
public disrespect .than to conserve the
forces of public order. This argument
Is skilfully evolved and set forth with
consummate cunning. Indeed, this lat
est speech of Senator Hill impresses us
as being by far his cleverest and as a
bit of workmanship, his most effective.
But it Is dlfllcult for us to see how,
in spite of his deft evasions of the real
Issue, a senator of the United States
can terjously quarrel with a city official
for doing his obvious duty In executing
the plaln'leter of a newly-enacted and
therefore' still vital statute. (Let us
concede that, as contrasted with
Tammany's laxity, the present
sharp and decisive methods of en
forcement are "unusual;" that, among
violators of the excise law, they are
"unpopular;" and that the law Itself,
as put upon the statute books by Tam
many Influences, Is structurally "un
fair" let us admit, also, that because
of their seal Mr, Roosevelt and his offi
cial associates have become prominent
figures on the stage of official activity,
overshadowing, (or a tuna, even tha
theatric senator from Chemung let us.
Anally, not dispute the tact that upon
this one element of law-evasion, long
deemed Incurable, the police comrals.
sloners of New York city have central
ised their entire strength, determined
to stand or fall toy the Issue of that one
experiment, what does It argue T Not
that law may be with reason Ignored or
that publto aotllclals should In an In
stant forget the oaths whereby they as
sume office.
The "personal liberty" cry Is utterly
aside from the real question. That
question is, "Shall a vital law be en
forced?" Roosevelt and partners say
yes. David It. Hill says no. What will
the public say?
The last play that failed failed be
cause It was morally rotten; yet pessi
mists foolishly declare we're growing
worse.
A gas that will lighten the quarter
ly bills will have a warm welcome In
most communities. All hull, acetylene!
They say Ohio supplies the nation
with brains; but It's self-evident that
Pennsylvania dots its business.
We suspected that Gresham was bad;
but we're cock sure Olney is worse.
COMMENT Of THE PRESS.
Keform tho Man. Also.
Carbondale Herald: "During the past
few years reformers have devoted niucn
time 'to what they call 'the social evil.'
All their efforts have been futile, iillhouv.h
the various committees and boards liuvo
Wuikt.l with unrein. tllng zeal. Thev still
are Kra;ipllni; With the question, still hold
ing meetings, mm discussing methoits,
uud still sending out liv.xslonar.es to work
amoiiK the fallen women of the cities,
une committee In Chicago thought they
had imidu a great udvuiico when they
had rcpre-sciitulivea ut the ra lroud sta
tions to meet untl protect young girls ar
riv.iig In the oily. It HI becomes anyone
to laugh at the efforts of these good men
nml women tolling for the advancement
of tho race, iut their work seems like n
attempt to drain the ocean with a shell.
It is doubtful If the world will ever bo a
whit better ill this respect than 11 now Is.
Hut one thing is assured; that if ad
vancement is to be made reformat'on
nmst commence, not with the fallen wo
men, but wtth the men whose patronage
supports the 'evil.' And this reformation
will not he brought about by any 'system.'
It mast be moral and Individual.'
Good American Doetrlno.
Prom the l'lntform of the New York Re
publican 1cngilr: "We heartily commend
the action of tho police authorities of
New York city Is closing the saloons on
Sunday, and note with pleasure that the
iiipior dealers in taking official action by
which they promise to obey the law and
assist In Its enforcement, have shown
more good sense and honesty than tho
newspapers and public men who have
counseled against obedience to law and or
der by Inveighing against public officials
for doing their sworn duty. The question
of open saloons on Sunday Is not a polit
ical question, but is one, tho determina
tion of which will, to a large extent,
measure the moral tone of the lCmpire
state. We believe In the American Sun
day nnd that the traditions of (he Repub
lican party favor the preservation of nil
those conditions and principles calculated
to bring peace, prosperity and happiness
to the mases of the people."
1 hero Are Too .Many l.awvcrs.
Chicago Record: "Litigation begets
lawyers, and In modern litigation there Is
altogether too much waste of time and
energy. The strain on public, patience
comes in the cost entailed to the litigant,
and above nil to the lltignnt who is
poor. The wealthy man employs his law
yer by 'the year, and Is amply able to
carry every case as far as the courts will
take It. The poor man too often has to
witness the defeat of his rase simply be
cause his means will not endure the drain
of prolonged swits. Anil until they are
remedied through the reform of court pro
cedure these abuses will continue,"

Letter In Pittsburg Dispatch: "The dif
ference between the cash price and pay

designated, lies In the tribute necessary

ery and payment In spoils as legitimate,
Rrlbery goes to the penitentiary; spoils

lators." The Tribune's New Home.

POLITICAL POINTS.
Bucolic genius will take comfort from
Major Handy's assertion that the "coun
try politician or the politician of the small
town is usually a better politician, al
though ths city people do not think so,
than the poUtlcnn of the big city, and Is
a much better rullancu In an emergency,
llo c nines of better stock. Is not likely to
bci a graduate of the glnmlll, has a keener
sense of loyalty to successful leadership,
and If he is purchasable Is moro likely
when bought to stay "bought. The aver
age country voter Is also a much better
Informed person than his brother of the
city. In tho country politics Is a theme
of discussion the year round; st every
store. In every crossroads blacksmith
shop, politics and the crops take turns
wHh neighborhood gossip In claiming at
tention. Everybody knows who holds ev
ery olrlce from roadmaster to I'nlted
States senator, and who are candidates
for the succession. In the city every other
man you meet Is unable to name his rep
resentative In congress, much less who as
sesses or collects the taxes. The best
politicians will always look to the coun
try If they wish to gain and hold ascend
ency In state or national politics."
The Raston Free-Press hastens to cor
rect the 1'hlladelphla Record's Inaccurate
assertion that It was the Hueder Influence
In Northampton which the other day re
buked A. O. A Lien, tho state delegate who
at llarrisburg recently violated his instruc
tions. Tho Free-Press says the "turning
down of Mr. Allen was purely a local mat
ter conducted by his own Immediate con.
stltuents. They were Incensed and out
raged by Mr. Allen's course. Hut they
made no public ado nbout It. They wait
ed until the next party caucus and then In
stend of allowing Mr. Allen to run the
caucus, as they had willingly permitted
him to do for years, they took the man
agement of It In their own hands, and,
without so much as a prearranged pro
gramme, went to the primary meeting and
chose delegates of their own selection
without even an explanation to Mr. Al
len.", From which Instructive circum
stance It would again appear that It pays
to play fair In politics.
One of the reports which Senator Quay
has emphatically denied Is the Washing
ton story that he contemplated sending
nn' entirely new set of men to the Fifty
fifth congress from Philadelphia and also
to Interfere with the organization of ths
committees of the house of representa
tives this winter. First and foremost, the
rnport said, Penrose was to succeed Ring
ham In the Fifty-fifth congress. In re
gard to ths organisation of the house In
the Fifty-fourth congress It was said that
the senator would play upon Mr. Reed's
ambition as a candidate for the pres'den
tlal nomination to have Dalsell and Ring
ham turned own. Dalxell has a claim
upon the chairmanship of the ways and
means committee and Bingham upon that
of the committee on appropriations.
Says Walter Lyon: "I am for Quay for
president. He Is the biggest msn In the
party. I regard him as the great -st
statesmen In the party. I do n t think he
ht a candidate, on that he Is ambitious In
that direction, but he would be a great
president, if elected. If Quay lived In al
most any other state he would be nomi
nated for the presidency., He has a great
military record, and f or ipolltleal achieve
ment be is without a peer." The nomina
tion of Garfield. In '8a, Just following his
victory in Ohio, la a precedent to set the
Quay men thinking.
This Is General Clarkson's latest esti
mate of Quay, made within a week:
"Senator Quay Is like Tlldeo to some ex
tent. Tllden did not equal Quay, how
ever. He had the skill and resources, but
he was not as daring as Wuay. Quay
will take all In one bold move, while Til
den could plan well enough, but was
afraid to carry his plana out. Quay has
proved himself a eerless leader without
exhausting bis resources." ,
Senator Gray, of Delaware, makes ths
point that the anll-thlrd-term feeting has
reference to three consecutive terms, and
not to three terms with an Interval be
tween two of them. Hut that Is just
where Senator Cray Is wrong, for the ob
jection, at this moment, ls directed
squarely against the personality of
Stephen Orover Cleveland, regardless of
mathematics.
Comptroller Bowler, of the treasury de
partment, is now about the biggest man
in Washington. Ho bus assumed the func
tions of the I'nited states supreme court
and passes upon the constitutionality of
nets of congress. Civat man. Is Uowler
until he Is called down.
There Is comparatively tittle dfuht that
Senator Quay) Isn't overly pleased at tho
cold, clammy way In which Cameron
tinned him down during the big scrap;
but the question Hay llrown wants an
swered Is, Will he stay mail?
' The Icadinir Demoontlic paper of Greene
county has hauled down the name of the
candidate of its party for Judge. It ex
plains that the candidate's nomination
was secured by bribery and fraud. Queer
lJi moi-iut'c paper, that.
The average Democratic ofllce-seeker
can see no 'better man than President
Cleveland for the nomination next year.
If four years more of drover means four
years more !n clover for them they don't
object to a third term.
When Hoke Smith gets through perse

Charles Fmory Smith's senatorial boom

Th w hlte-w Inged angel of peace has not

Press.
Kx-Mayor Fellow's' opinion that William
Council "could not be trusted In politics"
has evidently been reached since the West
Hide statesman was a candidate, for mayor.
Speaker Crisp Is delighted with the hos
pitality he received In Europe. The only
thing he objected to was too much wine.
Georgians are not trained that way.
The funny part of It Is that although
the Democrats of the state art; squabbling,
as usual, nnhody seems to consider their
movements worthy of attention.
The Democratic state convention should
Indorse Chairman Quay's reform (plat
form and make the Democratic organs
happy. They all Indorsed it.
Channcey Forward Black still owns tho

Two Good Rules
FIRSTMake your money honestly.
There never was any happiness obtained by the aid of gains ill-gotten. Every
dollar earned of honest toil buys a hundred cents' worth of happiness in every
market on earth. A hundred thousand dollars wrongfully possessed can't buy a
cen't worth of heartfelt pleasure anywhere.
SECOND--Spend your money carefully.
While you are earning it by making something which you probably don't want
somebody else is equally busy making something you do want. Don't be worsted
in the trade. Uutil you find the best place to spend it hold the dollar so tightly
that the eagle screams aud the Goddess of Liberty expostulates.
