Stand by Pennsylvania.
The Himo'incement of the eminent
Philadelphia manufacturer, Hamilton
Plsston. who was recently ( 1'Ctcd one
of the national delegates from the Sec
ond congressional district, on what nt
the time was generally regarded as an
anti-Quay ticket, that he "is a Petin
sylvanlun and as such will be for Sen
ator Quay as long as he Is a candi
date," represents the proper spirit.
This magnificent Republican state,
with Its iuaiter of u million Hepubll
can plurality, has long enough been
passed aside by the national conten
tions of tho Hepubllcan party. The
time has come when a determined ec
fort should be made by the Pennsyl
vania delegation to secure nt St. Louis
audi a recognition of the common
wealth as Is Its obvious and Indisput
able due. Such nn effort may not T
immediately successful, but It will nt
least establish a desirable precedent
and make Pennsylvania's place more
commanding in rut lire conventions.
The chances that Senator Quay con
be nominated at St. Louis are small.
There need be no attempt to disguise
that fart. There Is, however, a possi
bility of success, nnd In politics, more
often than not, It is the unexpected
that happens. Twenty years ago no
one expected that IIayes would be
nominated; but the honor came to him
on a compromise which was no more
to be expected then than a similar one
Is to be expected next June. In 1SS0
the nomination again went to a man
who had boforehand fewer apparent
.chances of success than Senator. Quay
has today. The nomination, of Harri
son In 18X8 was effected by precisely
the same Influences which will at St.
Louis be favorable, in a contingency,
to Quay namely, the solid strength of
Mr. Piatt In Xew York'. Of all the
nominations made by the Republican
party since it became a national organ
ization, only one, If we except the three
renominatlons which have' been con- j
ferred by It In those nearly two-score
years of its existence, lias been fore
seen. Therefore, It Is within reason
for Senator Qay to remain n serious
candidate; and, moreover, his knowl
edge of the lenders of the parly and his
acquaintance with Its active workers
are such as to give him, at a crisis,
rnore than ordinary strength.
, Hut whether he be nominated or not,
ive. submit that the parly in this state
will make no mistake in standing, ns
long as there is a possible chance, by
Pennsylvania's candidate. The effect
of such a course will b not only to re
unite the party after its recent fac
tional dissensions but also to estab
lish the precedent of unity for Pennsyl
vania interests at national conven
tions. No one can tell how soon that
unity may be the means of brlns
.Ing to our stale a presidential nomina
tion. Certainly It will not lessen our
standing among the Republicans of
other states to lmve the knowledge go
forth that we have, after many ye.irj
of meek acqulosence in parly ostra
cism, resolved at last to 3tand up for
our rights; . . .
. Responsibility of Bankers.
A decision of far-reaching moment to
baa been delivered by the United States
Supreme court in what Is known as the
Meadowcroft case. The Meadow-croft
brothers were shown to haye accepted
deposits in their bank but a. short time'
before the bank closed its. doors. It
wan argued by the prosecution that this
action came - within the .soope of. the
criminal law, sln& a banker ought to
know at all times the condition of his
bank, and especially its safety or un
safely as a place 'of deposit. Tho con
victed men's lawyers based their ap
peal to ,the Supreme court upon tho
plea that the law "placed a restriction

tlon." ' .j".
The Supreme court has overriden this
objection and established an important
' lirecedenr bv dpi larlnir that hnnlrlnir
6 fur; from being m private butilriosiT lal
very much of a ublie business. This,
a the Chicago Revord aptly observes,
"is merely common sense. A bank acts
Very much In. the relation cf a tiur-Ieo
for whatever nait cf the pnbllr chooses
to tleiKwil n; mey In its care. If the
state is not legally warranted to throw
some safeguards around such an Instl
tuticn, the rights of the depositors
ut on whom the banks are so largely
dependent would b practically noth
ing. Tlie luckless depositors might
tasily become the prey of the first ad
venturers who opened an office and
hung a bnnkerls sign in the window.
"When a man comm'ts a crime or
violates an oidinance the law Intends
that ha shall In- punished, no matter
what his inltutnce cr wealth. I'nfor
tunatoly, however. In the needlessly
protracted court processfs in vogue in
this country, there have been notable
instances wherein intlucntial ' culprits
by means of constant postponements
and the Interposition of technicalities
have been able to lessen their just pun
ishment or evade- It altogether. For
these nasons the decision which the Su
preme court has made in the case of the
Meadowcroft brothers is particularly
sratifyin& It will tend to some ex
tent to restore public confidence In the
ability of the courts to deal out jus
tice with an Impartial hnml and to
rvercome the obstacles placed In the
way by offenders who are able to carry
their cases to the extreme limit of
time."
The 1'ntted States supreme court evi
dently believes that federal regulation
of Interstate 1 all ways should regulate.
The belief Is novo), but welcome.
Important Commerce Decisions. '
Two decisions of importance directly
affecting Interstate commerce were ren
dered by the I'nited States supremo
court on .Monday. Owing to the Inade
quate reiiort transmitted by telegraph
we deem iyjvorth while to review these
decisions lit some length. The first and
most lmportunt case wasappealed fi ui
the Fifth Circuit court of appeals, and
involved the construction of the fourth
section of the Interstate commerce act,
known as the long and short haul
secfion. The case title was the Inter
state Commerce commission vs. the
Cincinnati, Xew Orleans and Pacific
Hallway company, the Western Atlan
tic Railway company and the Georgia
Hallway company. Justice Shlras deliv
ering the. opinion. There was also
drawn in the very Important question
of the power of the Interstate Cnn
merce commission to tlx minimum rates
In cases properly brought before It. ns
distinguished from a mere decision that
a particular rate Is excessive. The
three railroad companion are the con
necting roads running from Cincinnati.
Ohio, to Auguiita. Ga. This litigation
began through the complaint of a sell
er of buggies ut Cincinnati that the
rates to Augusta nt the end of the
Georgia railway and to Social Circle,
which was a point on the Georgia rail
way fifty miles below Atlanta, are such
ns to unfairly discriminate against So
cial Circle. The Texas Pacillc nnd the
Atlantic and Western roads claimed
in their answer Hint he lute to Social
Circle could only be made by the con
sent of the Georgia road, on which it
is located. The Georgia company ad
mitted that the rates to Social Circle
were the rates to Atlanta plus the rate
from Atlanta to Social Circle, and con
tended that they were not unreason
able, the rate to Atlanta being less
than it should be because of the com
petition with lines from that city to
Hiiltlmore.
In his opinion, Justice Shiiiis called
attention to the fact that the real
question nt Issue was whether the
various railroad companies engaged in
the traffic from Cincinnati to Augusta
and Social Circle were so engaged un
der a common control, management or
arrangement for n continuous carriage
or shipment within the meaning of the
Interstate commerce act, and the con
clusion wns that they were so engaged.
"Wo hold," he added, "that when
goods are shipped under a through bill
of lnditis from a point In one stnte to
another, and when such goods are re
ceived In transit by n state common
carrier, under a conventional division
of the charijes, such carrier must be
deemed to have subjected Its road to
an arrangement for continuous car
riage or shipment within the meaning I
of the Interstate commerce act." It fol- .
lows, he says, that It was within the j
jurisdiction of the commission to con- j
sider whether the Georgia company In
charging a higher rate for a shorter I
thnn for a longer distance over the
same line in the same direction, the I
shorter being included within the long
er distance, was or was not transport-
ing property in transit between slates I
under substantially similar circum- i
stances nnd conditions. The court then
went Into the question of the right of
the Interstate commission to llx rates.
It was argued for the commission that
the power to pass on the reasonableness
of the existing rates Implied the right
to prescribe theni. This the supreme
court held Is not necessarily the case,
and continued: "The reasonableness of
the rate In a given case depends on the
facts, and the function of the commis
sion Is to consider these facts and give
them their proper weight. If tho com
mission, instead of withholding judg
ment In such a matter until an issue
shall bo made nnd the facts found. It
self fixes the rate, that rate Is pre
judged by the commission to be reason
able," but presumably' may be Carried
into court upon appeal If the railroad
company Is dlssatlslied.-'
In the Import case, tie facts of which
were reviewed 'mi 'this ' page three
weeks ago, the Supreme court reversed
the opinion of the circuit court, which
held that It was illegal to charge less
on Imported goods than on domestic
articles. The effect of the opinion is to
continue the alleged discrimination In
the interest of foreign 'shippers. The
f ase involved the right of a railroad to
charge less for hauling nn imported
hundredweight from the seaboard to a
given point In the Interior than for
hauling a domestic hundredweight the
same distance. Jn this case Jurtge
Shlras held: That the purpose of the
Interstate commerce act is to promote
commerce; that In passing upon quea
tlons under It the commission or the
courts nre empowered to consider
all the circumstances and conditions
that reasonably apply to the situation
and that in the exercise of Its jurisdic
tion the tribunal may and should con
sider the legitimate Interests of all

rtaiiees In raseit whether of foie!-ii or
domestic tralllc cor.ipetition la a v?v
lniMirtant one; that the (oirami:!ori'.
order i nder the law riiouid haw the
promotion if commerce in view wltii
the purpose of enhancing the welfa;e
or the carriers and consumers as we 1
as that of the tradU'S. He said t.-at
ns the case was presented in the count
below there was no intimation that t'i
inland rates wire unreasonable nr.d
consequently there could be no p;opiv
cognisance taken of this point. T::e
more fact that the disparity between
the Import and local rr.te3 was consid
ered large did not or itself warrant tlu
court in finding that tuch disparr.y
constituted nu undue discrimina
tion, much less Old It Justify the
court In finding that the cnt'.te
difference between the two rates
was undue or unreasonable, t specially
as there wan no person, firm or coipor
atlou complaining that he or they h:nl
been aggrieved by such a disparity.'
From this opinion Chief Justice Fuilcr
and Justices Ilnrhvi and Hrown ills
sent. Justice Harlan holding that ".f
such discrimination against American
goods by American railways, acting
with foreign companies, fit consistent
with the act of congress, then ill? tlt;
of that act should have been one 'To
regulate commerce for the benefit of
foreign manufacturers nnd dealers ar.d
to the Injury oT American Industries." "
Taken In connection with the rccer.t
decision In the lirown case, which re
quires witnesses to testify in Interstate
commerce Inquiries, these two de
cisions go a great way toward estab
lishing genuine government super
vision over Interstate commerce. We
ar Inclined to agree with Justice Har
lan rather than with Justice Phiras in
the Import rate case; but the point in
volved In that cose Is not to be com
pared In Importance with the signifi
cance of the two uther decisions, which
virtually rescue the present regulative
law from becoming a grinning farce.
Colonel John A. Cockerlll has quite
captured the emperor of Japan, and
the hitter cannot lind honors enough
t bestow upon him. The fortunate
thing In the premises is that Colonel
Cockerill thoroughly deserves them.

In a recent Interview Senator Hour ob
served: "Take the history of presidential

Wuhlhgton have been overthrown by thn

Silas Wright und Van Huren were set

same thing happened. Taylor was taken
up and Webster and Clay dropped. In
JVeJ the Hemoeratlc leaders were set aside,
uud J'rHiiklln Pierce, of New Haven, elect
ed. Among tip; Whigs, Webstor und Fill
more wen- net aside, and Scott taken up,
only to lie defeated. In 1DT.G Judge .Mc
Lean, the leading candidate of the Ke
piihllcans. was set aside. In lsiio Seward
was overthrown und Lincoln taken- up.
In lsiiS Grant was a general candidate
for everybody. In ISTii Conkling, Simon
Cameron, Sherman and Blaine were over
thrown, and Hayes nominated. In lf.xu
Gaiileld was hardly heard of. when he
was Humiliated, und Grant, Hlalne, Sher
man and Kilmunds were thrown over
board. In Peil there was strife between
Arthur and Hlalne. The latter was tnkea
up as a cundldnte and beaten by Cleve
land, who was little heard of." Draw
your own coneluslcns.

According to Senator Hrlce, the Republi
cans ure surely going to nominate .Me
Klhlry. "The other fellows." he says,
"are very shrewd und active, but they
can't beat him. This country is ruled by
that section of It lying west of the Alle
gh.etiies and north cf the Ohio the lluck
eye state, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,

consin und Minnesota cmd eastern Nebras

empire in the country, and particularly In
the itijniljllcan party, Theso are the
great Itejuibllenn states. Kvery one of
I hem, excepting Iowa, is for .McKlnley.
McKlnley cun t bo beaten because we
Demo. 'rats educated the countiy up to
the Ide.i that a high tariff was the essence
of Republicanism. We made that Issue,
and on It McKlnley became the best-advertised
man in the world. Now, uftor a
period of stoppage ami depression, the peo
ple want Republicanism again, end, of
course, they do not want uny one but the
mini who most perfectly typifies It. That
man Is McKlnley, and McKlnley they will
have."
II II II
According to Walter Wellnian President
Cleveland refuses to give up the light..
He believes the Democrats can win If they
do the right tiling on the financial oues
tlon. There Is no doubt about Mr. Cleve
land's nerve, nor about his confidence In
the party, in the ultimate triumph of tar
iff reform and In himelf. Every' one In
Washington understands that If the lnm
cfratle party wants 'Mr. Cleveland to run
for president ugnln it has only to say so.
II Is also understood thut If the party
does not soon show some, desire for more
of bis leadership he will conclude he is not
likely lo be wanted at all, and to come out
with a letter declining to be considered a
candidate.

The Columbus, O., Dispatch, a leading
Republican journal in the Huckeye state,
says: "Major .McKlnley stands for ev
erything, and the Ohio Hepubllcan man
agers have put up a signboard, which
points In all I'lrectlons. and every voter
may read the side he prefers, and go the
way he wishes, still shouting for the suc
cess cf McKlnley. The policy of Major
McKlnley in 'this particular Is precisely
what ll bus be'.'ii In respect to every other
question of present moment. He has hesi
tated and doubled In the face of manifest
duty." The Dispatch is a Fomker organ,

The Jersey City Journal has polled the
prominent men of Jersey City as their
presidential preferences. Fifly-flvo per
