Harrison in a Contingency.
Tho ciii'iiiiistaiiceH imilor which the
nnino of lietijaniin Harrison may 1
I'liine a powerful factor nt St. l-otlix
run ho Imagined us follows: In tho
llrst place, It Is probable that a scat
terliiB vote Will be cunt for the ex-prcsi-tlelit
from the beuinniiit; of the ballot
liiK. thus kecnliif? his name constantly
before the convention. This may be
dono by accident or by nrrant;enieiit
but In either event It will have the
effect to draw the attention of disaf
fected delegates to u candidacy which
would immediately solve the perplexi
ties of u bitter liKht In the convention.
Secondly, should it tippeur tluit Mc
Klnley cuuuot win because of the com
bination of the politicians against him,
what more natural ivsult than that
, tlie McKlnley forces, rather than turn
to any one of the untl-McKinley candi
dates, should go In a mass to the In
(llanian, whose nomination would be
quite as likely to Rive a pain to Mr.
J'lutt, Mr. Quay, Mr.' t'larkson and
their Immediate colleagues as would
that of the Napoleon of protection him
self, (leneral Harrison could no doubt
pull from "the Held" ciioiiKh votes, mi
lled to the McKlnley strength, to nom
inate himself easily. After that, of
course. It would be made unanimous.
All this Is only a harmless bit of
speculation, but at n time when the
outlook with reference to the St. I-oiiis
convention seems Impenetrable, one is
prlvileKed to draw on his Imagination
In lieu of more substantial evidence.
We have no doubt that General Harris
on was sincere In his recent letter re
fusing to permit his name to be con
sidered In connection with another
presidential nomination; but he is nev
ertheless subject to party draft and
such a draft he could not refuse to
honor. The nomination of licnjamin
Harrison at St. Louis would give emi
nent satisfaction to every Republican
who la a Republican from principle and
conscience.

Uevolts against Thomas H. Iteed are
very frequent In the Washington dis

The Licensing of Vice.
The proposition advanced by the Law
and Order society of the state of New-
York to provide by law for the licensing
within certain metropolitan districts of
disreputable houses, the fees to form a
maintenance fund for the support of
Invalid, Indigent or penitent inmates of
these houses, will no doubt excite dis
cussion and reveal anew the Inability
of purely theoretical reformers to dis
tinguish between' theory ntid fact. It
.In declared by those who advocate the
change from "fin ineffectual attempt at
the prohibition of the less disguised
phuses of the social evil to a practicable
form of restriction that the recent po
lice raids upon the disorderly houses of
New York city have had the effect, not
of decreasing tho vice of unchnstity
but simply of scattering the moral
leprosy throughout previously uncon
taminated districts, and subjecting
pure ond decent citizens to. unpreced
ented annoyance nnd humiliation.
We can the more readily credit this
assertion when we remember that once,
In our 'own city, a similar crusude had
Identically the same effect. It trans-
fetred the area of contamination fror.i
a. few back alleys to some of the most
respectable residence portions of the
i-lty, to the great scandal of the Inhabit
ants of those portions, whose children
were at an all too early age made fa
miliar with that species of human de
pravity which It la the f ish of wise
parents to keep from theli1 offsprings'
ken aa long and as effectually as pos
sible. The gain to morals from a de
centralizing of the social evil was abso
lutely nothing. The- evil . continued,
every whit as virulent aa bfor. The
onjy difference to be noticed after the
practitioners of it had been distributed
among clean homes won that honest
famllie were subjected to additional
peril. -
There are some persons who decline,
' mm they say. to comDromtse with sin.
and they call the isolation of vice by
legnl license such a compromise. If It
l;a what "they say. it is a compromise
under the terms of which vice gets the
smallest .possible power for mischief
and soflety gets the largest possible
security. I'ntil reformers recognixe
that men are not made better by legal
prohibitions but are only improved by
mental and moral and spiritual sua
sion, the social evil and the drink evil
will continue to thrive despite outlawry
and all the long chain cf their offspring
evils will thrive with them. In view
of this demonstrated lesson of human
history,-It becomes vise to consider not
how time, money nnd effort may be
wasted on Impossibilities, but how def
inite results can be achieved for good
by tho recognition and prudent adjust
ment of conditions as they are.
Mr. Dana rises to remark that the
nomination by tho Democracy of Mr.
Cleveland for a third term would be
equivalent to suicide. Yes. but the
nomination nt any other Democrat
would clearly be .equivalent to man
slaughter. The War on Silver.
flicro are two fundamentally differ
ent bases of operation with reference to
the question of silver coinage, as Illus
trated in the contemporary discussion
of thlf problem. "The one position Is
Irreconcilably hostile to the use of sli
ver in any but a subordinate relation
t gold. It Is willing that silver shall
be coined as a token money, so long us
It rests for ultimate redemption on
gold; but at any suggestion of tho pos
sibility, by either Independent action or
International agreement, of a return to
that old-fashioned form of bimetallism
In which the two metals together
formed the so-called "double" but real
ly single because conjoint standard of
value, those who maintain the attitude
we have ib sciibed immediately become
Indignant and protest that those who
encourage such u possibility are trying
to defraud their creditors and debase
the currency. These men are gold
mononietalllsts, who want all values
measured on a gold basis. They largely
control the'gold of the world, and the
more dillleiiU they can make it for
debtois to procure gold In payment of
debts, the greater will be their weulth
when those debts are paid.
The gold liioiiomelalllsts are united
by common Interest; they are aggivs
n'.ve in the hope of foreseen profit: they
me powerful with the strength of ac
cumulated (-rent wealth. Hut on the
other hand, the blmctallists are divid
ed. Some want to rush at once to the
eupcrinient of free and unlimited silver
coinage, regardless of consequences.
Their position Is as absurd as would be
tl-.at of the sick man who should want,
while weak and debilitated, to get up
from his bed without uny intermediary
stages of convalescence and start at
once to do the hardest kind of work,
i it hers suggest that It would be prudent
to await International co-operation be
fore undertaking to do anything more
for silver than has been done for It In
Its use as u subsidiary metal. These
are the conservative blnietallists, and
their position Is sound provided they
will agree to work for such an agree
ment umong the nations and not strive
to nuike It more dllllcult. The danger
to be feared from this class of blnietnll
ists Is that they will gradually, under
the cunning pressure of gold mono
metullists. despair of achieving silver's
restoration on a broad scale and will
thus by tacit consent perpetuate a plan
of campaign which has for Its deliberate
purpose the doubling of the debts of
the world by the subtraction of half
the basic coin of the world.
There Is, however, a third position,
not very popular as yet, but destined,
we believe, to fulfil in course of time n
large usefulness In the arresting of the
tide toward the single gold standard.
It may be roughly outlined to Involve
the coinage In this country, at a com
promise ratio, of the American silver
product only, coupled with a tariff on
foreign silver so high that all of it
would be kept out, and supplemented.
It may be, by a series of retaliatory
tariffs on countries which refuse to Join
with the I'nlted States In a plan for In
ternational bimetallism. As the case
now stands, or, rather, as It used fo
stand when Republican protection
formed the law of the land, every In
dustry In the I'nited States had pro
tection from foreign competition save
the silver industry. It alone has had
no protection, and today the curious
spectacle Is presented of the president
of the rnlted States, his secretary of
the treasury and most of the leading
statesmen and journalists of the coun
try trying to kill the demand for Ameri
can silver, which Is one of the princi
pal of our ore resources. If such a raid
were made on Pennsylvania's coal and
Iron we should expect to hear quick pro
test; but since it Is made ostensibly on
the silver Interests of the far west and
sweetened by tho euphonious fiction of
"sound money," the wage earners and
productive Interests generally, whom
gold monometallism compels to do dou
ble work for single pay, are expected
apparently, to take an appreciative In
terest in their own undoing, nnd even
to get mud ut every economist who
win us them of their peril.
The effect of their mutual character-
blackening which Hie Quay-Magee
camp followers in Allegheny county do
not appear to dread is that It may yet
Inspire the decent and self-respecting
Republican rank-and-file to cry "a
plague on both your houses."
The Strange Law of Periodicity,
That we are now passing through a
cycle of murderous crimes, particularly
of ci inns In which wives kill or at
tempt to kill husbands, and vice versa,
needs no further proof than a casual
scanning of the news columns. With
out pretending to have kept a thor
ough record of these domestic tragedies
we can recall, with! a mouth, upward
of a doien notable cases, which is so
far more than the normal average as
to justify serious rellection. It Is
claimed by asticWcrs that these per
iodical epidemics of criminal Impulse
are due to peculiar planetary Inllu-
ences, which exercise upon men und
women of weak moral natures actual
Incitement to tfitie.
This theory f f eelestial hypnotism
has never yet H-oelved the sanction of
tho sclenthHs, who brand astrology as
a bit of .quai-kery and deny without
reservation " that planets exert any
power of regulating the actions of hu
manity. The weak point In this denial
Is that while It demolishes one Ingen
ious hypothesis which affords a toler
ably satisfactory explanation for other
wise Inexplicable phenomena. It o.Ter3
no substitute. It teurs down, but does
not afterward build up. Science, we
may remaik in passing, has a habit of
doing this, and yet somehow we ac
cord It a great measure of awe and
veneration, not a little of which Is prob
ably undeserved.
To return, however, to our crimes.
can anybody offer an Intelligent ex
planation why murders and suicides
and defalcations and elopements should
cciir, ns It were. In bunches and not be
equally distributed throughout u given
period of time? Why should there
seldom or never be one big fire with
out two other big ones quickly follow
ing It; or one big railway or steamship
accident without the Inevitable twain
of parallels? That these things do hap
pen In close, proximity to each other Is
di monstrattd beyond question, despite
the fact that outside, of the hypothesis
of the astrologers no adequate explan
ation has yet been vouchsafed for the
coincidence, if coincidence it be. Let
tin de slecle civilization turn its lime
light on this dark spot In modern knowl
edge. That was certainly a queer verdict
In London last week when a woman
patient sued a physician for breach of
professional secrecy and won a verdict
of Jtin.iioo. The peculiarity of the ver
dict consists of the fact that the physi
cian's only guilt was In warning his
wife not to associate with the patient,
whom he had In a professional cap
acity discovered to be an unchaste
woman. Tho eccentricity of juries Is
proverbial; but in this Instance it
seems to have established quite a new
record.

The curious feature of Leach's career Is
that he slal'te-l out as something of u
"l-'ralieescn da Rimini niminy-piminy
,le lie sills quel young man." He hail lit
erary ambitions, the tastes of a illh-ttnr te,
and a mission to purify politics. Twenty
two yiars iiffo, among a coterie of bright
and aspiring youths, who came togel'.t.-r
to cultivate literary habits, he was the
most anient of poets. Jle used to turn
out verses and stories with great facility,
ami if he had not given up his early as
pirations he hiul the bent of mind that
would iuive cut a llgure In Journalism, If
not in higher literature. There was not
tine of his associates who would have
thought that this pragmatic, effusive, dap
per young exquisite, with his Hyronie fan
cies and his almost feminine conceits,
would have developt d Into rhe right-hand
man of a politician eminent for hor-e
sense und 'practical methods In the pro
fession. II II II
In the early reform campaigns that at
ti tuleil the advent of the committee of
one hundred Leach soon became a hard
worker, along with u number of other
youthful reformers, who conceived thi
idea 'that they bad a great mission to
perform. Just who have since become
,;'.:i'hful followers of the party lenders,
lie was ill i'he 'habit of ringing the alarm
b.ils for t'ome committee or Junta ev -ry
time a rtform spai-m caused a palpita
tion of the town's conscience. The bnssoa
rnd the machine outllls never came In for
more yi-athlng ami eloquein tllatrluss than
Lcaea would write and scatter broadcast
from his literary bureaus. The Oamer
ons, as well us the local MoManes rr-ia-a
c-:ret.;.w,re the particular objects of his
reformatory zeal. When Charles S. Wolfe

no more willing and energetic- follower

the politicians by n soul of Juvenile ex
uberance, hliii they could not always
escape from, an. I whom they saw fit to
denc-mliiuto (is a "dude" or a 'Jumping
.lack." Next to Wolf. .Mapes, Kmery an 1
Psrkiii', he hiel probably mo.-t to do whli
stirring "I' Ihi' sentiment which led to
I he famous Independent state convention
In 1 lin-ti'-iilt ui al hall in the summer of
tsvj for the purpose of breaking down

Heaver and electing a Demoi ratio gover
n o;
i !' H
Allowing for the s hiiners Olid the sore
li, :iix, I doubt whether a more honest nnd
guileless convention ever sat In Pennsyl
vania than Ihe one which put John S'.ew
art in nomination for governor nnd opened
the way rm- Robert K. Paulson. It was
ihc llrsi and onlv t'me In the history i.f :ho
IP piijllcuii pariy In the state wnen sin a
.i niovemeit of the "li. Iter eh mr-nt" und cf
i he ( .ironl" distill hers of Ihc peace reached
the proportions of a convention, a tiek.-t
ami an organisation. ho that had occa
sion lo be there will forget the way In
w'lloh Hon Cameron was held up on the
nratoiicul tonsillar folk', how t.Miny was
denounced us the Machiavellian genius of
the dviiastv, how that ltu-ly old I'ur'.tan
limun rge-i fn in ihe West lirar.' h country,
W. C. Donne, moved the delegates lo
u-cr.uv, nnd how l.eaen iooki-h nner an
the details, He- was the secretary of Ihe
jndr-icii.l:ht state committee In the mem
ora'Jji cii!iilalgn which followed, nnd
Sn-wart had ro manager of his Interests
who was keener nnd more Industrious.
Tii it campaign, however, nnd the disaster
which followed would have been avoided
If IJuay had been permitted to have his
own way. He was one of the very fciv
close to poll Cameron who realized from
Ihc start that Heaver's nomination, whl -.i
was the most -deliberate for ramming a
shite down the throat of the party, wis
a dangerous experiment, and that Camer
on's policy of trampling rutfth ssly on Hie
Independents mln'ht be a mistake. He
would have mmie the wh.vle nlTair harm
less by put I lug fonu-body like Wolf on
the ticket for lieutenant governor In-s-'.ead
if Havles, and in springing u few
bulls nt his associates, but these sugges
tions were overruled by the Camerons,
After all the tickets were in the Held,
(Jiiav adroitly used his Influence to secure
a compromise, and Ihe Independents who
cume 111 contact with him In the confer
ences and negotiations that were held ut
tho Continental hull, some of them for
the first time, were Impressed with his
magnanimity und apparent sense of fair
ness mid were Inclined lo revise their es
timates of him us a mercenary. It was
the cataFtrophe cf that campaign whl.-h
ninrked the close of Don Cameron's
Ciacy In the purty organization and the
lining of qtiuy'spower.
In the reorganisation of the party which
followed conciliation and concession were
th4 watch-words, and cjuuy wus the chief
ciigimitor of the policy. The result Was
that very few of the independents drifted
lo Ihe I'utlison administration, und most
cf them were Dually In npiosltlon to it.
No party whs ever more skilfully handled
than the Republicans in Pennsylvania
were ut this time, cjuuy, -who has rc
murkaiile insight Into the weakness of
ovcr men, jj then anxious to build up
ntw following, as he quietly planned h!
unsuspected taitlcs for tne capture of
John I. Mitchell's seat in rho I'nlted Stalks
senate. He made himself and the party
hospitable to the young men In politics
who had ambitions, who were unable to
stomach tha Camerons. or who were
shrewd enough to see (hat their day wn
over. It was in Ihe course of evenis that
Leueh, who had made encugh reputa
tion for himself us u campaign manager,
to show that ha understood politics, en
tered the service of the regular organisa
tion us a secretary, much to the dlssurt
of the old-time stalwarts, who could not
understand why such ccn verts should be
im'.Ud to the front seats. Rut It wasn't
long before Leach compelled even those
who disliked him for his mannerisms und
record to admit thet he was one of the
trust nlert and elllclent men in the or
l inizn lion with a pe-allsr knack for de
i alls and with a political Instict, foxy ami
secretive.
