That the nrowth of the Qua,y presi
dential boom U brBiiinliig to rattle the
Mi'Klnley people Is shown In the alteted
tone or the chief Mi-Klnley organ, tlu
Chicago Times-Herald. At lirst thlv
excellent pan thought to dismiss I In
Pennsylvania senator with a half-dozen
humorous paragraphs. Then it fell
back on news dispatches alleging that
Hie Quay boom wa purely atrategii-.
and for, the purpose of masking- the real
holce of the man from Beaver. Hut
now Mr. Kohlsaat's paper shows de
rided symptoms of anger when Quay'
name is mentioned within Its hearing,
and In an ugitated editorial entitled
The Line Drawn at Matt Quay." 11
proceeds to lay down the law In thi::
wise:
"Matt Quay ns a favorite son is one
thing. Matt Quay as a veritable as
pirant for president of the United States
Is quite another thing. On the one tin
people look with toleranre, not un
mixed with amusement, nor yet with
sorrowful surprise. If Pennsylvania
likes to right her battles undei- surl
leadership and to bow and crawl tit his
bidding her sister mates simply shrug
their shoulders and say, 'Well, poor,
dear old Pennsylvania was always u lit
tle queer; so we must humor her.' Put
when mere crankiness too much In
dulged becomes madness and takes tht
form or dangerous Illusions it Is some
times necessary to put the victim in a
straight-jacket. Quay Is a shrewd fel
low. He is an able politician. He is a
field marshal among political generals.
In counsel and In action he command?
attention and applause. Valiant In
fight, he Is patient In, defeat and mag
nanimous In victory. But the- country
knows and he knows in his heart thut
Ms is not a record on which to run for
the presidency, lie could not afford it.
The country would not stand It. Thin
may be a yellow dog year but the line
must be drawn somewhere. And It will
be- drawn at Matt Quay."
Put to draw that line Is apparently a
(Treat deal harder than to talk about it.
n the very day that we read In Mr.
Kohlsaat's paper that Quay must not
be considered, we also read that down
in Georgia, where McKlnley was sup
posed to be invincible, a resolution in
structing' for McKlnley was voted
down 26 to G and the announcement
made that the delegate In question
would support Quay. Similar word
romes from portions of Florida, Ten
nessee, West Virginia and elsewhere;
while among- politicians It Is pretty
Benerally understood that New York
and possibly New Jersey will ko for
Quay before they get through voting
at St. Louis. Thus, as a matter of fact,
and without any reference to questions
of fitness or merit, the drawlnsr of n
line by the McKinleyltes against (Jiiay
might have the unwished for effect of
putting McKlnley out and putting- Quay
in.
We advise them, therefore, when
throwing at Quay, to substitute bou
quets for brickbats.
There Isn't much said nniong- our
Democratic friends In favor of local
civil service reform.
An Interesting Complication.
An interesting diplomatic problem is
rxerclslng Washington society. Years
ago when Assistant Secretary of State
Kockhtll was In business In China and
the French ambassador, M. Patenotre,
was a small-fry official at Pekin, Mrs.
Kockhtll, it seems, took a dislike to the
Frenchman and refused to admit him
to th Rockhill mansion. Now that the
Rockhllls and the Tatenotresi are
placed where they are expected as a
matter of official propriety to com
mingle socially, the old dislike has re
appeared, to such an extent, it Is
flamed, that Mr. Kockhlll has declined
to have anything to do with M. Pateno
tre, either socially or officially.
It Is said that Rockhill has Informed
the Frenchman that whatever huslness
the latter may hereafter have with the
department of s'.ate. It will have to be
transacted through subordinates. This
is scarcely credible, since It would com
mit the entire American government
to the quarrel of the wife of one by
no means indispensable official, the said
quarrel having no bearing whatever
upon any official question anil dating
back to a time when neither the Rock
hills nor the Patenotrcs were of official
consequence to the American or the
French governments. ' If Mr. Korkhill
has made any such break as thin It will
have to be undone by his superiors,
Mr. Olney and Mr. Cleveland; and he
will need to be informed that If his
personal likes or dislikes are likely to
take precedence over his duty aa assist
ant secretary of state,- he had better
promptly make an end of a bad bargain
by reslKiilii.
It Is fair to Mr. ISockhlll to say that
he bears an excellent reputation, uiul
one which tends to cas-t doubt upon the
correctness of the foregoing statement
of facts. We have given the report as
It appears In the public prints, both
It apepars in the public prints, both
Mr. Rockhill and til" French ambassa
dor having declined to deny or affirm It.
At the same time. I: Is notorious thut
the American (state department is a
hot bed of official mcgalocephalitis. in
which It is exceedingly easy for a man
to Imagine that In his own particular
person Is centered about all there is of
the I'nlted States government. We
trust that such a thought as this Is far
removed from the mind or Secretary
Olney's first lieutenant.
According- to the Tlmen. "Mayor l!al
ley will be a pemoeratic mayor and In
no sense an independent one." It
strikes us that thin is cold comfort to
serve un to the Itcpubllcans by whose
votes he was elected. Didn't the
Times Itself admit, on Wednesday,
that Pulley's: victory was due chiefly to
fVranton. Fellows. Da vies. Urouks,
Molr and Westpfahl?
'Our Perishing Anthracite."
1'nder this beading the Philadelphia
Times opportunely suys: "There Is only
one great bed of uuthraclte coul lu the
world and that is in Pennsylvania. It
has done mure In revolutionizing our
Industrial products than any one ma
terial that enters into the varied chan
nels of enterprise, and It should be
husbanded with reasonable care. Sen
sational New York iiauers insist that
anthracite coal shall be mined anil fur
nished to consumers ut prices which
do not pay operntois, miners or trans
portation companies a fair return fur
their capital und services. If the un
thrui ite coal Held were In New York
they would demand that it should lie
husbanded and not wasted by millions
of tops each yenr without jut com
pensation to any engaged In producing
It, but as it is In Pennsylvania, New
York Journals insist that any attempt
lo attain a fair price for anthracite coal
is robbery of consumers.
"I.ust year Pennsylvania produced
some millions of tons of anthracite in
excess of tin actuul demand, resulting
n Its forced sule at reduced prices;
and taking the average price for the
utile output It does not pay anything
approaching a fair return.oii the cap
ital Invested, or fair wages to miners,
or fair compensation to transportation
companies. This is simply midsummer
madness, ami Hhould be halted at once.
The cost of mining anthracite coal
necessarily Increases euch year by rea
son of the depth from which the coal
!s produced. 1 n addition to this Import
ant fact, It Is known that the Scranton
anthracite Held Is likely to be entirely
exhausted within the next fifty years,
ini! that the Wyoming Held cannot con
tinue to produce much beyond that
period because of the Increused de
mands that must be steadily made upon
It. In short, the single unlhrucile bed
'if the world is In Pennsylvania, and
the Held is perishing. Not only must
each year increase the cost of produc
ing it. but the tens of millions of tons
mined annuully take Just so much from
'.he given quantity that exists, and thus
rapidly approaches the end or the pro
duct. "This fart should make the anthra
cite coal region adopt the most careful
measures to limit the product to the
actual necesKlties of the country, and
to secure for It a fair compensation for
operators and transporters with Just
wages to labor. It Is a necessity not
only for the present prosperity of both
capital and labor, but for the protec
tion of this great source of wealth thut
Is now rapidly being diminished and
must sooner or later be ended. A cen
tury hence there will not bo un uuthra
clte coal mine In operation, und before
the close of another generation the les
son must be most Impressively taught
by those who are Interested in this Im
portant product. Let us deal Justly
with the great wealth of Pennsylvania,
and let it be produced only as It can
be consumed with fair compensation
to both capital und labor. Any other
policy must be the policy of suicide.
Those who complain when the pro
ducers of hard coal try to save them
selves from bankruptcy by getting a
price sufficient to cover the actual cost
or mining, together with a small margin
of profit, will gain credit for consisten
cy when they volunteer to sell their pro
ducts at a toss, as a donation to philan
thropy. Mr. Scranton's congratulatory mes
sage to Mr. Pulley would seem to In
dicate that he has become a Democrat
to stay.
England Bound to Yield.
We dare say that IJrltish diplomacy
imagines It has put the 1'nlted States
in a hole In the Venezuelan affair by
tentatively proposing to arbitrate the
question of jurisdiction not with Vene
zuela, the party of the second part, but
with the government at Washington.
The Westminster Olassette lets the cat
out of the bag when it remarks: "The
only possible hitch Is the possible objec
tion of Venezuela to the matter being
taken out of her hands and Oreat P.rl
lain and the I'nlted States treating it
as a question between themselves. For
its. there Is a positive advantage In be
ing vis a via with the I'nlted States
and not Venezuela. If America is
claiming the dispute as her own. she
must also assume the reasonable and
consequential liability of going bail for
Veneiuela."
The I'nlted States would doubtless
be willing to accede to this proposition
If requested to do so by Venezuela; but
until such a request Is preferred, our
position will" rot vary from the lines
laid down In the president's recent mes
sage. We are willing to accept what
ever peaceable adjustJfnt England
and Venezuela may reach concerning
the rlghtrul ownership or the disputed
land between the Venezuelan and Brit
ish Guiana frontiers; or, falling such
a settlement., we propose to establish
by independent investigation our own
idea of the rightful dividing line. That
done, we shall aim the Monroe doctrine
at any attempted seizure by England of
land on the Venezuelan side of that
line, and shall make such seizure a mat
ter of direct Issue between England and
the I'nlted States. That Is all. We
ourselves have nothing to arbitrate so
far as this issue Is concerned. We ran
only exercise our friendly Influences to
urge England to do what Venezuela has
repvutedly agreed to do namely, refer
tin whole issue to arbitrators.
The present British proposition is
doubtless only a feint ! cover Lord
Salisbury's tlnal yielding to the com
plete Inevitable. The English people
know and he knows they know that lie
made an indefensible mistake when he
declined to submit England's case to
arbitration alongside the case of Vene
zuela. That act atone Justified the sus
picion which has been voted ns lo the
validity of England's claims. It did
more. It Justified the resentment which
the official announcement of It occa
sioned among the American people. It
set hack for years an amicable tinder
stondlug between the masses of the
British and the American people. It
gave substance to the contention of
those lu this country who hold .uion
up as the bully among the na
tions, worthy only of scorn. It was.
In short, a blunder which. In Its effects,
has proved worse than a crime, nnd It
Is only a question of time when the
English government will reverse It un
equivocally and without reservation.
The visit to our city of State Forestry

The surprising Republican victory In
Dunmore Tuesday grows more surpris
ing the mure It Is studied. Not only
was every Republican candidate elect
ed, but the average pluiaiit" was ftii
In a borough which had never previous
ly elected a full complement of Re
publican officials. Tills result bespeaks
thorough organization and determined
work. The committee by which this
work was directed certainly deserves
full praise. It is to be hoped that Dun
more borough will remuin lu the Re
publican column.
The article by William Orlfllths on
"Anthracite Coal" In the February
number of the Bond Record Is beyond
question the most succinct und com
prehensive treatment of this industry
which has appeared In print in many
years. It gives a complete survey of
the subject within the limits of ten
pages. Including maps, statistical tables
and diagrams. It Is an article which
should be read with cure and then pre
served for reference.
Now that elec tion Is over, we sug
gest to the esteemed Times that it
would be In order for It to discontinue
the lie about what It calls "The Tri
bune's A. P. A. circular."

The Wilkes-Parre postottice tight has

subject, aril he assured me that he was
anxious lo huve the matter disposed of us

"Thei-H have been more speeches made
In fuvor of the cundldales for the Wllkes
Harre postottice than were made before
the I'nlted States Supreme court for and
amilnsl the Income lax law." said tleii

a delegation is not here In the interest
of one of the euiidlilules. The payer. In
the case exceed any two cases on record.
I am In receipt of letters and petitions al
most dally. I am now about ten days be
hind in examining the papers, but you
can rest assured thut I will have the case
disposed of In as short a time a.-i possible."
licneral Wilson spoke very highly of
both Mr. Livingstone und .Mr. Bogert, but
he refrained from expressing a prefer

"It was a great victory," said Congress
man Scranton when asked about the re
sult of the election in Scranton on Tues
day. "Victory for whom?" '
"Why. for nie." reulled the member
from the Kleventh district. "I have be,?n
vindicated at last."
"but, will not your course injure you
politically In the future?"
"Xo; If anything, it will strengthen
me with the people. It was a victory of
th? people over the bosses."

. The rural subscribers of the Scranton
