Senator Chandler In, we believe, the
only Republican of national prominence
Mho seems to take delight In furnishing
the Democrats with campaign ammu
nition. The Dunmore Shooting Affray.
The affair at Dunmore yesterday
suggests a few common dense thoughts.
In the first place, what has been pained
for Christianity, for patriotism or for
morals by un armed clash of rival self
appointed champions of different
creeds? If nothing has been gained,
lias anything' been lost?
In the second place, who would bene
fit If these flushes should become more
numerous? To what extent could they
possibly contribute to peace und or
der? What kind of a community would
this become If every meeting; between
Trotestant and Catholic should be fol
lowed by an exchange or pistol shots?
We do not assume, nt this moment
of conlllctlng testimony, to locale the
blame for yesterday's disgrace. In due
time this will be determined, judicially.
In the meantime. It will be a Kd
thing for good people of every creed
to do some plain thinking, and to keep
cool.
The Allentown Chronicle and News,
one of the staunch Republican papers
of the Lehigh valley, has Introduced a
tloss perfecting press and enlarged to
the eight-page form. It Is one of. the
best Inlund pupers In the state, ami we
congratulute It upon Its progress.
A Game of Burlesque
The paralysis of common sense which
has of late years become Intermittently
manifest in the deliberations of the
United States senate lias seldom been
bo conspicuously and yet unconsciously
exemplified as in its treatment of the
question of belligerency rights for
Cuba. A brief review of the subject
villi clearly establish our point.
It was In January that the atten
tion of the senate was for the first
feeriously directed towards the Cuban
struggle, lit solutions expressing sym
pathy with the insurgents and touching
in various ways upon the advisability
of formal recognition were introduced
by Mr. Call, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Lodge
and Mr. Cameron. The result of these
various propositions was the adoption
I y the committee on foreign affairs of
a kind of composite resolution which
embraced the good features of all. This
was reported to the senate In the latter
ptirt of February, and after an nnlmnt
fd debate was passed by almost a
unanimous vote. The house, three days
later, went even further than the sen
ate by adopting a resolution pledging
the government to a contingent policy
of intervention In case such action
should become necessary for the proper
protection of American Interests In
Cuba. The vote In the house was quite
. one-sided as hud been the vote In
the senate, and both votes, despite
some Mugwump newspaper clatter,
fairly and accurately reflected the
temper of the people.
In the meantime, Spanish rioters in
Madrid and Barcelona, incensed at con
gress' action, stoned the American con
sulates and offered indignity to the
American flag. Rut so far from Inllu
encltlg the senate to stand firmly by its
prior action by ratifying the conference
report on the concurrent resolution, this
ebullition of passion seemed suddenly
to Inspire the crave and reverend sen
ators, with awe and caution. All at
once they changed their tactics. They
began- to debate ancient Spanish his
tory and " to split into ' factions over
Irrelevant questions of mildewed his
torical evidence. The authenticity of
translations and the accuracy of news
paper reports superseded the justice
of Cuba's revolt as the theme of dis
cussion. Perceiving his opportunities,
the Spanish minister thereupon let fly
a cunningly worded shaft, which by
raising new doubt as to past affairs
tended all the more to Obscure the vital
topic of Cuba's) present needs; and soon
the anomalous spectacle was) presented
of the senate gravely questioning its
own action and calling for facts after
it had apparently framed and declared
a, verdict Had a Judge of the Supreme
court paralleled the senate's course,
such a howl would have arisen fr.im
the country as ... .-iiiix-iil the security
of his position. In the penate's case,
however, we hear it said that its xelf
Htulliflcation has been "commendable
prudence," and "wise and cautious fore
sight;" although to the lay mind It
looks more like a plain case of com
mon aslnlnlty.
One cannot much wonder that In the
face of such contradictory and Indeci
sive garrulity the press of Spain, no
less than the people of America, should
be moved to sneers. It Is such exhibi
tions as these which discredit the sen
ate and fill the public mind with anx
iety for radical changes In Its compo
sition. It is to be hoped that the pres
ent week will witness the ringing
down of the curtain on this painful
and humiliating farce. Better leave
Cuba's fate to the stubborn and self
opinionated executive, with all his
traditional unfriendliness for weak peo
ple struggling for liberty, than to have
it turned Into a jest by the burlesque
Benate. Cleveland, at least, can act
when he so wills.
The Erie Dispatch says It has docu
mentary evidence to prove that the re
cent passage-at-arms in the newspa
pers between Mark Hantia, the general
issimo of the McKlnl'ey boom, and
Senator Quay was purely Pickwickian.
It predicts that If Quay sees he cannot
be nominated, he will be likely to turn
In for McKlnley.
The Presidential Race.
The Chicago Times-Herald, the lead
ing McKlnley organ of the west, resents
Speaker Reed's Intimation that rival
candidates for the presidential nomi
nation ought not to poach on each oth
er's preserves. It says: "There Is no
such principle of party ethics. The
contest for delegates to a national con
vention Is a national one. It knows no
state boundaries. The right of a can
didate to secure delegates by fair and
honorable means In any state Is recog
nized by the people. If a candidate
keeps out of another candidate's state
It Is merely a matter of agreement be
tween the candidates or party man
agers, and Is an arrangement not neces
sarily Indorsed by the people. The peo
ple have 'a right to the expression of
their own preferences In each state, re
gardless of any deals among self-constituted
bosses."
This Is true enough, as a matter of
legal right. There Is no law to prevent
the friends of any candidate anywhere
from Riving voice to their preferences.
The only point to be considered , is
whether It Is always wise to Insist upon
the exercise of this right in states
which have candidates of their own. It
will be remembered that the Invasion
of Ohio by the Blulne forces. In 18S0 did
not nominate Bluine. It merely de
feated John Kherniun. In similar
fashion. It Is for the udmlrcrs of Major
McKlnley to consider whether the ill
vaslon of New Knglund, New York and
Pennsylvania by them may not do their
candidate, in the end, more harm than
good. If, for instance, It should anger
the friends of Reed, Morton and Quay
to the point where .tliey would unite
In an effort to punish McKlnley, then
the question Is whether McKlnley
would be the loser or the gainer.
It is, in our judgment, a mistake to
suppose that the St. I.ouis convention
will bo a walk-over fur McKlnley or
any other candidate, of the delegates
thus fur chosen, McKinley has lCli while
"the Held" that Is to say. Reed, Mor
ton, Quay, Ciillum and Allison has, al
together, 144. But the McKlnley
tttutes have been pretty well heurd
from, while the slates yet to elect are
more likely to return a majority
for "the Held" than for McKlnley. New
Knglund and Pennsylvania are certain
to give the great bulk of their remain
ing delegates to Reed and Quay, re
spectively; and the fact with reference
to the majority of the Southern dele
Kates, whether instructedor itnlnstruct
eil, Is that they cannot safely be count
ed upon for any candidate until the
balloting actually begins. I'nder these
circumstances, two alternatives con
front the friends of Major McKlnley,
in Pennsylvania atiil elsewhere: one, to
grub at .delegates regardless) of conse
quences, thus running the rls-k of mak
ing the other candidates Indignant; the
other, to adopt a conciliatory policy,
with a view to inheriting strength when
the favorite sons ure dropped as hope
less cases.
Although the surface Indications at
this writing point to McKlnley, It
should not be forgotten by those who
seek for un accurate understanding of
the situation that politics. In these
modern days. Is an exceedingly compli
cated pursuit, which Is not always what
it seems.
The appointment of poor directors by
Judge Archlinld yesterday was coupled
with a recommendation that the legis
lature make this office elective. The
suggestion is eminently sensible, and It
will probably soon be acted upon. With
regard to the two new appointees, it
can be said that they are both credit
able and representative citizens. Dr.
Paine Is one of the best known and
most progressive residents of the West
Side. Mr. Terppe is equaly prominent
on the South Side, nnd though he dis
places, for reasons which nr generally
understood to be politicul In their or
igin, a man of character, fidelity nnd
long experience, he will no doubt make
a. good ofllcer.
Senator-Vest and the President. ,
We printed yesterday the exact text
of - Senator Vest's, reply to President
Cleveland's recent missions) speech.
The senator has been sharply criticised
for this utterance; even the Truth, last
night. Joined In the chorus of condem
nation. Yet we cannot see wherein the
senator overstepped the line of war
ranted defense. No doubt the presi
dent's Intentions when he spoke at the
New York home missions meeting were
excellent; Indeed, with the objeat of
that meeting no decent man can fall
to have the utmost sympathy. If any
missions are worthy above all others,
they are home missions; this lact 1b not
In question.
But when the president of the United
States, representing as he should the
whole peopfe, so far stepped aside from
the proper line of his thought as to
cast a needless and gratuitous imputa
tion upon the good name of a great sec
tion of the country, over whose adminis
tration he preslilt:?, I'. Is natural that ;
that section should resent the'retleftlou. ;
a ud equally natdrul thr.t its puMlc lep- 1
rcKrniaiives suouiii kivc voice i. r.a in-
digimiiou. -The statement, either a. a :
historical generality or as a specilli-
charge aimed at a designated part of
our country, namely, the west, is not
tiue that a :loneet people ure a less
moral and a less decent people than a
people many generations grounded In
the polite ways of civilisation. Such a
people may be, and generally are, loss
conventional than the people who live
amidst older institutions. Their ways
may be cruder; their methods more
abrupt. But the very circumstance of
their hardihood as shown In their dar
ing to combat the wildernesses end
wiestle at first hand with the problems i
of untamed nature is a proof of virility
which renders the effeminate vices and
gilded sins of older civilizations impos
sible conditions In their own relations
one with another.
The criticism which President Cleve
land uttered caine with the worse grace
from him when we consider that he
spoke absolutely without personal
knowledge of his subject. Mr. Cleve
land has never, we believe, been west
of the Mississippi river; his whole atti
tude as president, during both admin
istrations, has been one of Indifference
or open contempt for a portion of our
republic lurger a dozen times than ull
of the states u:on whose soil be has
ever trod, ami richer in possibilities, If
not in men, than he has ever, so far as
the public knows, had any conception
of. For a man thus narrowed in men
tal vision to utter in a solemn place
upon a notable occasion an aspersion
on the character of these unknown peo-
kple which was neither true In fact nor
germane in context was, we repeat, un
exhibition of injustice which could not
be expected to escape challenge. We
think that Senator Vest replied none
too severely. He might have said a
good many more cutting things and
still have remained within the limits of
justification.
The action of the court yesterday
in handing down a rule directing Cor
nelius Smith, esq., to show cause why he
shall not be disbarred Is the culmina
tion of an episode which might easily
have elicited such a rule at n much
earlier time. The bench which Ijo has
aspersed in and out of season and the
bar-upon which he has cast repeated
reflections In connection with the now
celebrated Jennings, case have exhibit
ed toward him a patience and a for
bearance whkh. he seems to have mis
taken as a license for augmented liber
ties. It is lumentuble that a man of
Mr. Smith's conceded ability should In
this one direction have lost the sense
of fairness und discretion which ought
ulwuys to control the utterances of
gentlemen In his profession; but. la
mentable or not, the court cannot In
justice to itself, uccord to Mr. Smith a
freedom of speech which In any other
attorney would Immediately be called
down.

ITALY IN Al UIOA.
From the Chicago Record.
While Italy Is debating whether or not
to ubundon u portion of her African pos
sessions. It Is Interesting to note the ex
tent to which the Kuropeun nations have
carried on their so-called coloiilzlag
schemes on that continent. Italy, while
not, by any means, Ihe chief offender in
seizing territory In Africa, has nearly fiuO,
ljl)n siUure tubes of it under her protec
tion. Ureal liriluiti claims something like
2.wv,0ii square miles of territory In cm
tinl Africa itlune. while France has about
l.r.ift.iiuo square miles, (lermany dominat e
phout m,u) square miles, while Portugal
protects 7.VI.INMI square miles In the tropical
portions of the continent.
including the trade of the Congo Free
Utate, which Is about $,I,.Vx..ikni annually,
the total trude of the continent Is esti
mated at (S7.a'4 of which one-half be
longs to tlreiit Itrilaln alone. Italy's par.
Hon of the trade is estimated at Ruh.ikw,
while France comes next to Great lirlt.iln
with iir.."isi.ih.
The Interesting feature of the Italian
dilemma. Is as to what will become of
AbysHlnla in case duly abandons It. litis
sla would like it, ami so would both
France and Germany, but it Is prob:ibl
that the prowess exhibited by Menelek's
soldiers will make a war with him unat
tractive, even to those powers. Territory
under Hrltlsh control bounds the country
on the north as well as on the south, und
with Hrltlsh ownership of the Suex canal,
which mcuns the dominion of thetted sea
(ii well, Abyssinia Is quite likely to be a
Hrltlsh possession ultimately.
Alenelek cannot live always, and his suc
cessor may be more easily dealt with
than the present king.
