tee, 1231 Walnut atreet,
Philadelphia, Pa.. Dec. 12. 189a.
To the Republican Electors of Pennsyl
vania: The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
their duly chosen representatives, will
meet In state convention, Thursday, April
23, 1690, at 10 o'clock a. m.. In the Opera
House, city of HarrUburg. for the pur
pose of nominating two candidates for
representatives at large In oonuress and
thirty-two candidates for presidential elec
tors, selecting eifrht delegates at large to
the Republican national convention, and
transacting such other business as may be
presented.
By order of the state committee,
11. 8. Quay.
Attest: Chairman.
Jere B. Rex,
V. R. Andrews,
Secretaries.
Representation In this convention will
be the same as in the last slate conven
tion. So far as ability la concerned, there
is no question of Governor Hastings'
fitness for the next United States sena
torship. But It is Just possible that - e
may, instead, move into the - white
house.
Next Time, Turn on the Hose.
The outbreak yesterday morning In
Hyde Park was one that would have
disgraced a camp of cowboys on the
frontier. That such a saturnalia of
drunken bestiality should have oceurred,
on a Christmas, in the third city of
civilized Pennsylvania, is a fact which
invites serious consideration. In the
light of such an episode at our very
doors it might easily be questioned
whether the duty of foreign evangeliz
ation, ho often and so eloquently ex
ploited in our churches, were not in
need of at least temporary subordina
tion to the duty of organizing more ef
fective home missionary work.
Too much praise cannot, in this con
nection, be accorded to Officers Jones
and Lowry for their resolute stand In
behalf of the law. The single-handed
battle of the former with the infuri
ated mob which attacked and almost
killed him, and his rmarkable self-control
as exhibited In his refusal to use
his revolver when supplied with strong
provocation for indiscriminate shoot
ing, distinctly calls for public commend
ation. Those who ure swift to censure
policemen for suspected dereliction
should in fairness accord equally ready
praise for demonstrated courage and
fidelity to duty. We do not exaggerate
when we call the conduct of Officer
Jones upon this occasion as brave and
as manly as was ever witnessed on a
field of battle; and it would evince a
proper spirit on the part of his official
superiors were it fittingly recognized
and rewarded.
As for the orgy itself, it is some sat
isfaction to know that the bulk of its
animating inebriety and general cussed
ness came from without the city and
represented a standard of conduct not
characteristic of Scranton. The after
thought suggests Itself that while police
men's clubs are sometimes good for
such exhibitions of disorder, a more
effective and a more appropriate method
of dispersal would be to call out the fire
companies and let them turn on the
hose.
Wall street continues to nurse its un
patriotic soreheadedness in a manner
that will not react In Wall street's favor
in time to come. As for Chauncey De
pew, he couldn't have invented a
shorter route toward political suicide.
Another Bond Issue.
It must be apparent to the most
casual observer that President Cleve
land and Secretary Carlisle are con
templating another issue of bonds, os
tensibly for the purpose of bringing up
the gold reserve to the $100,000,000
point, but in reality to meet the
exigencies of the ever-growing deficit.
If the revenues of the treasury were
equal to the current expenditures there
would be no necessity for more bond
issues. The president in hla several
messages to congress very clearly inti
mates that unless new legislation is en
. acted he will order another issue of
bonds under the existing acts of con
gress. The Republicans in the house,
under their wise and strong leadership,
are manifesting a willingness to
promptly enact measures for. the relief
of the .treasury, but it is equally mani
fest that the views of the house on the
subject of financial and revenue legis
lation are not the views of the presi
dent, and if the congress should enact
a bill embodying Republican policy the
president would undoubtedly veto It.
This would leave the situation entirely
unchanged, and relief could (tome only
by selling more bonds and still further
increasing the interest-bearing debt of
the country.
The president and his blundering
finance minister-will not be convinced
that the only rational way to relieve
the treasury Is by Increasing the
revtftiies. They refuse to be convinced
that the existing tariff ana revenue
laws are responsible) for the insuffici
ency of the revenues It the government.
Evidently nothing; will convince them.
To admit this would be equivalent to a
confession that the Wilson act Is pre
cisely the kind of a law the Republicans
said it was. and has had exactly the
effect upon the treasury and the coun
try that was predicted by the Protec
tionists, That wretched legislation has
already added tl62.000.000 to the bonded
Indebtedness of the government, and
created a further deficiency that must
be met by an additional Issue of bonds.
This emergency the Republican house
proposes to meet with legislation that
will increase the revenues and enable
the government to meet current ex
penses without borrowing money.
The house is right. The Republican
majority In that body are responsible
to the people only for their own acts.
They will have done their duty to the
country when they shall have
passed a bill providing more reve
nue. The senate and the presi
dent must assume the responsi
bility for the defeat of such legislation
if it shall be defeated. The representa
tives come fresh from the people and
hold a commission from them to halt
the reckless policy of the administra
tion and restore the treasury to a condi
tion of solvency, ennbllng It to meet
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment without further Increase of the
national debt.
It Is In the highest degree gratifying
to Republicans that the house will not
shrink from Its duty In the premises.
The country has unbounded confidence
In the wisdom, the patriotism and the
Integrity of the Republican majority,
who control the house of representa
tives, and that confidence will not be
betrayed. There is a reasonable hope
that the senate will consent to a con
servative house bill Increasing the
duties on certain classes of Imports
with a view to adding at least 30,000,
000 to the revenues. This can be done
without adding a cent to the cost of any
necessary article that enters Into the
living of the poor and middle classes.
If, by reason of the perverseness of
President Cleveland, or the wrong
headedness of the Democrats and
Populists In the senate, the wise policy
proposed by the Republican house shall
be defeated, the skirts of the Republi
can party will in any event be clean.
The responsibility will be placed by the
country where it belongs. President
Cleveland and the lust Democratic con
gress Inaugurated a complete change In
the polity of our government, and the
result hus been disastrous to the na
tional tfensury and to the Industries of
the country. The Republican house
proposes to change back to the condi
tions under which there wn3 plenty of
revenue for the treasury and prosperity
for the people. The president and the
senate must consent to the proposed
change or answer to the country for
their refusal.
The house has a straight road before
it. It cannot mistake Its duty or its
responsibility. The Republicans are
reudy to help the administration out of
Its dilemma. It remains to be seen if
the administration is willing to be as
sisted. That Is a capital Idea of Senator
Quay that the placing of state funds
In banks should be transferred from
among the duties of the state treasurer
and vested In a special board. lie
might have added another point. The
state should get, the interest.
The Senatorship.
The politicians and press of Pennsyl
vania, continue to discuss the United
States senatorship with great Industry.
The aspirants for Senator Cameron's
toga, too, are industriously canvassing
the situation, each endeavoring to for
tify his own position and advance his
own prospects. Pilgrimages to Wash
ington are frequent for consultation
with Senators Quay and Cameron. The
aspirants themselves are fully alive to
the fact that the two senators will be
Important factors In determining who
shall be the senator's successor. The
Impression prevails quite extensively
at this time that Senators Quay and
Cameron are both partlul to J. Hay
Brown, of Lancaster, and this theory is
sustained by circumstances of no little
weight. It Is almost absolutely certain
that Senator Cameron stands back of
Brown's candidacy, but it 1? not ho cer
tain that Quay prefers Brown to all
others. The fact that Cameron's par
ticular friend, State Senator McCarrell,
of Dauphin county, has openly declared
In favor of Brown Is regarded as indi
cating Cameron's preference.
The next most hopeful candidate ap
pears to be Colonel Watres, of this
county, who has always stood very
close to Senator Quay and might rea
sonably hope for his support. Con
gressman Robinson, of Delaware coun
ty, has also been one of Quay's most
faithful lieutenants and the expecta
tion of support from the recognized
leader doubtless encouraged him to
strike out tor the senatorship. Phila
delphia has a large assortment oi can
didates In the Held, foremost and most
deserving among them being Hon.
Charles Emory Smith of the Press, who
unfortunately has little to expect from
either Quay or Cameron. The fact is
that there Is not, from present appear
ances, much reason for believing that
Philadelphia will capture the senator
ship. The delegation In the legislature
from that city, If united on one man
might win enough support for him from
the country districts to elect him, but it
Is not in the nature of things for the
Philadelphia senators and representa
tives In the legislature to unite on any
thing larger than a slate of pasters and
folders, door-keepers, and watchmen.
As the situation stands today, the
two most hopeful aspirants for the
senatorship are Mr. Brown, of Lancas
ter, and Colonel Watres, of Lacka
wanna, and they are the more hopeful
ones solely because they appear to have
the better prospect of receiving the
support of 8enator Quay. The situation
may, however, change at any time.
-The Wllkes-Barre Record reprints
with editorial approval part of Rev. Dr.
McLeod's recent sermon on social and
personal purity, calling them "hopeful
and wholesome words." And that is
what' thejr are. Perhaps nobody knows
how much wickedness there is nowa
days; -but4 it Is certain that .nobody's
mind is large enough to comprehend
the Infinite good that everywhere en
circles It Unless we are prepared to
brand religion . as an Imposture- and
civilisation as a Ho the conclusion Is
inevitable that this Is of all ages the
best age in human history and that the
standards of toduy, rising painmount to
all the conceded badness, are the best
standards ever reared to guide men and
women onward and upward. When
men teach otherwise, suspect their
livers.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

Washington, Dec. i
This Is Christmas Day ana all Washing
ton Is celebrating the event. The depart
men Is are all closed. So la the big build
ing on the hill, where the nation's legis
lators meet and make and unmuke laws.
Tomorrow, however, every member and
senator Is expected to be In his aeat ready
for work. The ways and means commlt
tte held a session today and nearly. If not
altogether, completed a new revenue bill
which will be reported to the house to
morrow. There will be no extended or
lung-winded debate on the new measure.
It will be rushed through with a quick
ness that will make ex-Speaker Crisp and
his handful of free trade followers dizzy.
II II II
Of course all of the Democrats are ex
pected to. and no doubt will, vote against
the tariff advances, but the Republicans
are so overwhelmingly In the majority
that the Democratic opposition will not
amount to more than a soap bubble In a
gale of wind. Free trade will, indeed, be
roughly handled by this congress espe
cially in the house.
II II II
The proposed horlzontnl ndvance will
meet with some opposition In the senate
from western Republicans. The bond bill
will also meet with considerable opposition
by southern and western senators, unless
concessions, satisfactory to the sllverltes,
are made there will be a hitch In the sen
ate which may ultimately result In the
defeat of the plans decided upon by the
Republicans In the house. More meritori
ous measures have been talked to death
in the senate.
It mlu'ht be wise not to count your
chickens before they are hatched.

The commission to locate the boundary
line 'between Venezuela and British Gui
ana has been chosen by the president, but
the names will not be announced until
It Is learned whether or not the gentle
men selected will serve. Amonit the nnmes
Included in the list from which the presi
dent is said to have made his selection
are Chief Justice Fuller, Associate Justices

Oeneral Schofleld, Oeneral Casey, Senator
Lindsay, of Kentucky, ex-Mlnlster Lin
coln, Professor A. B. Andrews and ex
Mlnlster Winchester, of Kentucky. The
probabilities are that the commission will
consist of two Democrats and one Re-
Iiubllran, anil that It will be announced
itfore the close of the present week.

Senator Hill's presidential stork ought
to be above par in the South. His bill re
pealing the old proscriptive laws against
ey-Confederates enlisting In 'the United
States army or nrry passed the senate
yesterday. There was some opposition to
It by Senators Sherman and Hawley. They
wanted the bill referred to the committee
on military, but Mr. Hill Insisted that If
It pass nt all it ought to pass now. as a
sort of Christmas gift for the old fellows
who had to be whipped into line more than
thirty years ago.
While speaking of Senator Hill as a
.presidential candidate It might not be out
of order or in bail political form to say
that unless the New York senator can
make a grandstand play of eome kind
within the next few months his name will
probably not be mentioned In the next
national convention. His political career
seems to have suddenly ended as far as the
presidency is concerned
II II II
Thta will he sad news to Martin Flynn
and Sam Boyd, but the whirligig of time
oflen upsets and shatters the idols of the
best of us.
While on the presidential subject I
might say that there is every reason to
believe that the pernicious unit rule sys
tem inaugurated by Mr. Harrlty will not
prevail in the Pennsylvania delegation
to the next national convention. From
the most reliable sources I learn that Mr.
Harrlty will be overthrown at the next
state committee meeting, and also that
the next state convention will not be con
trolled by him. It Is understood that State
Chairman Wright will not be a candidate
for re-election for the reason that he hns
ittred of serving Boss Harrlty and his un
scrupulous methods. t
General Bingham has' introduced a joint
resolution in the house, which, If adopted,
may get this country into a war with
Spain. It la as follows:
"Whereas, The inhabitants of the Island
of Cuba, In the exercise of an Inalienable
right, have 'abolished their government
and have Instituted a new government,'
republican In form, and
"Whereas, The Republic of Cuba has
not received that recognition as a free and
Independent republican government from
the United States which should have been
given:
"Therefore, resolved, etc., That the
president be directed to recognize the Re
public of Cuba."
To recognize Cuba as an Independent
government at this time would be a most
serious matter. In a apeclal message to
congress in 1870 President Grant, in speak
ing of the insurrection then raging In
Cuba, said:
"The question of belligerency Is one of
fact not to be decided by sympathy for or
prejudice agalnjtt either party. The rela
tlons between the parent state and Insur
rectionists must amount In fact to war In
the sense of international law. Fighting,
though fierce and protracted, does not
alone constitute war. A,nl to
Justify a recognition of belligerency there
must be above all a de facto political or
ganization of the Insurgents sufficient In
character and resources to constitute it, If
left to itself, a state among nations ca
pable of discharging the duties of n state
and of meeting the just responsibilities
It may Incur as such towards other powers
In the discharge of its national duties.
"The insurgents hold no town or city,
have no established seat of government,
they have no prize courts, no organization
for the receiving and collecting of reve
nues, no seaport to which a prize may be
carried or through which access can be
had by a foreign power to the limited In
terior territory and mountain fastnesses
which they occupy."
The same condition of affairs exists In
Cuba today. Five years later President
Grant had the following to say in regard
to recognizing Cuba as a belligerent:
"If the belligerency be recognized the
commercial marine of the United States
becomes liable to search and to seizure by
the commissioned cruisers of both par
ties; they become subject to the adjudica
tion of prize courts."
The United States offered Its friendly of
fices for the restoration of .peace, but they
were rejected by Spain. The struggle
lasted ten years, only to be renewed seven
teen years later under much the same con
ditions. II II II

POLITICAL POINTS.
The orphans' court judgeship election In
Schuylkill county will be contested, and
Judge Craig, of Carbon; Judge Ikeler, of
Columbia, and Judge Ehrgood, of Leb
anon, will try the case. Mr. Lyon, the
Republican candidate, is the contestant,
claiming that his opponent, Mr. Dunn,
was returned as elected on fraudulent
votes. These Judgeship contests are'tedi
ous and expensive affairs, and the next
legislature should abolish the act under
which judgeship election contests are tried
by a special court. There Is no reason
why such contests should not be tried the
same aa other contested elections.
A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
from Shamokln says General Qobin was
In that section a few days ago getting In
some work for J. Hay Brown for United
States senator, and Incidentally putting
In a word for himself as a candidate for
governor in IBM. General Gobln evidently
elieves In the adage that the early bird
catches the, worm, politically aa well as
otherwise. The fact that General Gobln
Is working for Hay Brown Is only addi
tional evidence that the Lancaster man Is
backed up by Senator Cameron,
Prominent Democrats in Northampton
and Monroe counties are already at work
to prevent the re-nomination of Congress

ty. Major Klotz. has died since the last
election for congressman.
The Montrose- Republican announces
that Tommy Kllrow, of Siuqiielmnna
county, has received an appointment in
one of the departments at Washington.
This announcement naturally suggests the
Inquiry how so loud a Republican as Kll
row managed to secure an aL-olntmcnt
under a Democratic administration. Can
it be that Tommy has Itecome a Dem
ocrat? Perish the thought!
Judge Clayton, of Delaware county, has
publicly unnounced himself a candidate
for delegate to the Republican national
convention. He says his first choice for
president Is Governor McKlnley. It was a
great mistake to re-elect Clayton to the
bench, as It Is apparent that he cannot
keep clear of active politics. Men who
cannot keep out of ipolitics should be kept
off 'the judicial bench.
It Is said that Hon. Oalusha A. Grow
would like to represent the Fifteenth Con
gressional district in the Republican na
tional convention, but. as usual, the men
who control the Republican purty In Sus
quehanna county will object. It is a re
markable and unaccountable fact that the
distinguished and venerable statesman Is
least appreciated by the politicians In his
own county.
The venerable Buckalew, of Columbin,
has already informed his frelmls that he
wants the Democratic nomination for con
gress once more. Last year he was the
nominee and greatly to his surprise va
defeated by "Farmer" Kulp, a man almost
unknown In politics up to that time.
Buckalew is bound to remain in public
life as long as he lives.
Some of the Luzerne county papers in
sist upon It that ex-Attorney General
Palmer Is a candidate In dead earnest for
the United States senatorship, and that the
ensuing local conventions of the party will
adopt resolutions endorsing him. That
will be all light. Mr. Palmer has as much
right to bd a candidate as anybody in the
state.
The Philadelphia Press Is right when It
says that Mr. William Connell's friends
are much more anxious that he should be
the next congressman from the Lacka
wanna district than he himself Is. This
Is a case where the man Is not seeking the
office, and that Is one reason why he Is
being urged to serve this constituency.
The result of a special election for a state
senator In Maryland makes 'the senate
Democratic by one maturity. The house
is Republican by a substantial majority,
but the unfortunate result of the special
election will block reform legislation in
that state, and It Is very much needed.
That will be a lively battle between
Mujor Sam I.osch nnd Slate Senator Kle
fer for the nomination for senator in one
of the Schuylkill districts. !.osch Is the
better politician, but Klefir will have more
of "sinews of war." He can draw on his
cousin, Senator Cameron, for all he wants.
Governor McKlnley hns promsled to do.
liver the address at linzleton on next
Memorial Day and the Grand Army men
are already making preparations to give
him a great reception. McKlnley was a
splendid soldier ami made un excellent rec
ord on the battlefield.
If the Republicans In the Kentucky
legislature cannot elect a Republican to
the United States senate they ought to
turn In and try to elect Henry Watterson,
the brainiest man in the Uoui'bon stute.
He would be a vast Improvement on the
windy Blackburn.
Senator Quay has been at Harrlsbtirg
the past few days and had a pleasant In
terview with Governor Hastings. This
has brought nbout renewed stories about
a reconciliation between the governor and
the senator, but neither has revealed the
subject of the Interview,
To avoid two conventions the Republi
cans In somp counties will nominate their
candidates for county offices at the same
time that they select delegates to the na
tional convention In April or May.
