By order of the state committee.
M. S. vua.
Attest:- Chairman.
Jere B. Rex,
W. R. Andrews,
Secretaries.
We trust It Is untrue that Brother
Bailey, baa gone to Gotham to get
pointers on starting a smaller Tam
many. Pennsylvania's Chances.
The great ado made by the anU-Quny
contingent In this state over the re
cent Interview In which Congressman
Robinson proclaimed with a flourish his
belief that Senator Quay would take
occasion a week from next Thursday,
at the Harrlsburg convention, to with
draw his name as a presidential can
didate anu auvise ine selection oi uci-egates-at-large
in favor of McKlnley
has noticeably simmered down since
Colonel Stone, Richard Quay and Gen
eral Qrosvenor, each in turn, gave the
assertion an unqualllled denial. We
include the denial of Orosvenor as
germane to the Interview because
It bad been asserted that this
move on the part of Senator Quay
was to come as the result of over
tures proceeding in McKlnley's behalf
from Orosvenor himself. The fact that
urosvenw ueiiics niiviiisT neiu uuj turn
munlcatlon with Quay removes the mo
tive, which in such matters is an essen
tial factor.
In such a connection the testimony of
an outside observer has value. Colonel
J. Bloat Fassett, of Eltnlra, -worked
with Quay in 1S88 lit national head
quarters. He Is also familiar with po
litical sentiment and political methods
the country over. In his Elmlr news
paper he says: "It won't do to regard
Quay's candidacy lightly. He is In
earnest. Ho is not a. candidate for fun.
He Is not a candidate merely for the
sake of preventing McKinley from
gaining strength in Pennsylvania. Sen
ator Quay is a candidate because of
the solicitations of his friends who
know his popularity with the party
workers and the party builders In the
nation. Senator Quay has been very
much abused by the Democratic press,
but for all that he Is a great political
general. He is a big man. He Is well
acquainted with public affairs; he is a
scholar; he is deeply versed in the his
tory of our country and In all the erudi
tion of the statesman. He is magnetic,
approachable, clear sighted, indefatig
able. He never yet has been defeated
iri any matter to which he gave his
undivided attention, and people make
a mistake In regarding Quay's presi
dential canvass as mere by-play. It Is
being conducted In great earnestness.
His relations to the tariff and the
money question are such ,as to bring
him great strength in the national con
vention. He is not only liked but be Is
greatly beloved by the members of the
national committee who havex been
thrown In contact with him and appre
elate bis worth and his great abilities.
His conduct of the campaign of 188$,
which resulted In the election of Har-V
rison and Morton, was a marvelous
piece of political generalship, and his
contest last summer with Ma gee and
Martin was one of the most astonish
ing political triumphs of the century.
It was an amazing revelations of the
affection which the plain people of the
state of Pennsylvania have for this
'silent statesman from Beaver.' "
We liberally discount the theory that
Colonel Quay is in any sense hostile to
McKinley; but we believe that he has
assurances as to the actual strength
of the Ohio man's candidacy In the
convention which convey a different
story from the roseate claims put forth
from day to day by the McKinley man
agers; and we further believe that
these assurances go to the extent of
justifying in the senator's mind the
hope that there is yet a , possibility,
equal to one chance in two or three,
of his own nomination. Under these
circumstances It would be exceedingly
strange If, with hla enemies in this
state fighting him from behind the
McKinley breastworks, he should sud
denly decide to abandon the field and
take up arm alongside William Fllnn
and C. Lk Magee. In the meantime,
Pennsylvania should not be too anx
ious to lve up as hopeless the one
chance 't has had In thirty years to
supply the countrywithja president.
Mr. Martin's paper, the Philadelphia
Bulletm, setties one point when It re
marks .that "so long as Mr. Quay re
mains la lbs field he will tecvlve th
compliment of the solid, or virtually
solid, support of the Pennsylvania del
egation, and there Is no present pur
pose among the McKinley men to deny
him that honor." Does this statement,
we wonder, meet with the approval of
the Hon. Chris Magee?
In Mura,t Halslead's opinion, tbe
Cuban war will last many yearn, but
ultimately Cuba will become free, and
later will seek admission into the
American union. If Spain tries many
of her old-time tactics, the end may
come sooner than Mr. Halstead thinks.
American sentiment will not tolerate
wanton assassination in Cuba.
A Wail Concerning Spain.
A good deal depends in this world
upon the point of view. Persons can
find sunshine or they can find clouds
In most any subject at most any time,
accordingly as they adopt rational or
irrational points of view. In another
column we reproduce, this morning, an
interesting picture of modern Spain
originally contributed to the Philadel
phia Bulletin by a staff writer of ex
tended experience in the matter of Ku
roiean travel. .His picture Is timely by
reason of the possibility, in his judg
ment near but in our Judgment very
remote, that we may become embroiled
In a war with Spain because of our
sympathy for Cuba. From the stand
point of the average American, sympa
thy for Cuba Is as natural as patriotism
Itself, and as commendable. But from
this writer's point of view. It is crimi
nal nonsense; and for variety's sake we
give his side of the controversy:
"If the action of congress results In
a war with Spain, as there is every
reason to apprehend it will, we shall,"
says the Bulletin writer, "not have a
picnic In conquering the proudest race
In Christendom. We shall, of course,
defeat Sp.tin in the end. But our vic
tory will be tarnished by Injustice and
greed, everything In the nature of
meanness we loathe In the English. We
shall have Cuba on our hands, a cen
tury before we are In position to deal
with it. We shall have enriched, per
haps, ten thousand, perhaps fifty thou
sand soulless money-makers, who sim
ply regard war and government for
what they can make out of them! Our
civil war created a million parvenues,
who have for thirty years ruled us,
shaped our legislation, dictated presi
dents and made life a shambles. A war
with Spain will fasten fifty years of
misrule upon us. Of course, there will
be 'glorious' victories! We shall,
when the end comes, record the lists,
say half a million killed, a half million
wounded and a half century of pen
sions to unborn millions, related by
passing ties to the soldiers and sailors
killed to make 'Cuba free!' We shall
liberate Cuba at cost of perhaps ten
billions of dollars, twice the indemnity
France paid Germany; we shall sacri
fice a half million lives, we shall turn
over our government to brawlers and
ignoramuses for the next fifty years,
and we shall for a half century stop
the processes of civilization, to give a
few swarthy malcontents in Cuba, the
privilege of turning the Island Into a
civic pandemonium. But the majority
so order and protest is useless."
Jt perhaps would not be worth while
to take this petulant outburst seriously
and endeavor to show wherein it lacks
substantial foundation. It Is sufficient
to quote the outburst as a fair speci
men of the frenzy to which overrrlpe
minds are sometimes subject when an
Issue of humanity calls for determined
treatment. Much the same kind of
petulance used to be prevalent before
the question of human slavery was set
tled in this country by the arbitrament
of arms. Able and scholarly men, men
who in private life would scorn to
stoop to cruelty or oppression, were
Very wont, prior to 1861, to scoff und
jibe at the prospect of . going to war
"for the sake of a blank lot of niggers."
Tet the conscience of the plain people
went to war, just the same, and freed
those "niggers" while at the same time
wiping out a stinging stigma upon the
honor of the great republic. The result
of that affranchisement Is written,
among other ways, in a subsequent
progress of the negro race such as has
never before or since been equalled in
the history of liberated peoples.
War with Spain Is highly improb
able. There is scarcely the remotest
possibility of It. But if it should be
forced upon this nation in the line of
inevitable duty, the grave Issue will be
met with true American manliness,
and civilization will not be the loser.
The opinion seems to be pretty well
disseminated that the Raines bill has
made New York again a doubtful state.
Fortunately, with the right kind of
tltket-bulldlng at St. Louis this will
not give Republicans uneasiness. They
can, for once, snap their fingers at
pivotal commonwealths.
Give It a Fair Trial.
The disposition of the commissioners
of certain counties nntnMv l.imlit
v to shirk the duty Imposed upon
them by the compulsory education law
is riot to the credit either of those com
missioners or of the communities which
they represent. The loophole through
which they seek to escape consists of
the fact that the Farr act does not in
specific terms declare that the asses
sors provided for by It shall be paid up
on warrants signed by the commission
ers. Section 4 of the law reads as fol
lows: H shall be the duty of the assessor of
voters of every district, ut the spring
retclstration of voters, or as soon us pos
sible thereafter, to make, In a substan
tial book provided by the county commis
sionera for that purpose, a careful and
correct list of all children between the
ages of eight and thirteen years within
his district, giving the name, uge and res
idence of each, and whether In charge of
a parent, guardian or other person, to
gether with such other Information ns
may be. deemed necessary, which enu
meration shall be returned bv said asses
sor to the county commissioners of the
county in which the enumeration is mad.!
whose duty it will be to certify It to tiiti
secretary of the proper school district,
who shall Immediately furnish the princi
pal or teacher of each school with a cor
rect list of all children In his or her dis
trict who nre subject to the .provisions of
this act. And the said assessors shall
be paid a per diem compensatln for their
services, a sum equnl to the compensa
tion paid under existing laws for asses
sors of election, said services not to exceed
ten days.
The Intent of this enactment is plain.
It was thc-purpose of the author of the
bill and It was the expressed belief of
the legislators who affirmatively dis
eusied It upon passage that the last
clause Just quoted should be binding
upon the county commissioners. Any
fair court, taking Into account the in-
tent as well as the letter' of tbe act.
would undoubtedly so construe it. But
in certain counties where the act meets
with public opposition, the commission
ers, desirous of establishing records
for economy, are declining to issue
warrants for the payment of school
assessors, and consequently the con
templated enumeration in those coun
ties will not be taken. It remains to
be seen whether the attitude of these
commissioners can be legally defended.
We think not. But In any event. It
Is for the public interest that the law
should have a fair trial To that it Is
clearly entitled. That It will surely
get, if not now, then as soon as the next
legislature can amend its provisions so
as to leave no possible margin for
quibbling or evasion.
How any man capable of understand
ing the Kngllsh language can make the
mistake which the editor of the Wilkes
Barre Record makes when he says The
Tribune "favors the free and unlimited
coinage of sliver," we cannot under
stand. We hesitate to believe that the
Record editor deliberately misrepre
sented; we prefer to suspect that he
simply made a blunder, which, as a
gentleman and a scholar, he will ac
knowledge and' correct The argument
advanced by this paper was that Amer
ican silver should be protected by a
prohibitive tariff and theft coined on
a parity with gold. This Is as far from
unlimited silver coinage as the silver
single standard la far from bimetallism.
It . would keep out all foreign silver,
both coin and bullion, and would utilize
in coinage only the silver dug by Amer
ican labor from the depths of American
mines. We should have our gold just
as before; and If the report be true
that In t'tah's mountains there are
freshly-discovered deposits of the yel
low metal surpassing In value the rich'
llelds in the Transvaal, we should, soon
have of both metals, good "money to
burn." The man who thinks the cur
rency question has been settled by the
present surge toward gold monometal
lism simply misinterprets facts.
THE SPAIN OF TODAY.
"Dunois," In Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Industry of the country, never well
handled, haa been falling off In nn omi
nous measure since the re-eatabllshment
of the monarchy. The land is adminis
tered in a fashion half-Asiatic and half-carpet-bag.
The party In power must
have money to pay the great places of the
state, no matter what department comes
to want. Thus the army officers, navy of
ficers and the great aristocratic families,
who give a sort of superficial stability to
the form of government to which they ad
here, are really bribed by the first fruits
of the Internal Imposts. Indeed, the offi
cial who apparently have the least to do
In the conduct of the practical affairs of
the government enjoy almost exclusively
the usufruct of the national Industries.
It thus comes to .pass that every public
function In Spain la Imperfectly adminis
tered. The postofHce system would shame
the FIJI Island economist. The clerks are
put on starvation wages, and for months
at a time are left unpaid. As a result,
hut poor material can be procured for
the government places. In three can?
out of seven the clerks who assort tho
letters cannot read the addresses on the
envelopes. It has happened repeatedly
within my observation that persons apply
ing for letters were informed, after a pro
forma scrutiny of the heaps, that there
were none, and immediately after th.)
packet being placed In his hands, the in
quirer has found several to his or her ad
dress. A party of Americans, as a case In point,
were detained In Seville eight days await
ing a letter of. remittance, of which they
had been apprised by telegraph. Every
morning and afternoon they asked the
clerk, and every time were confidently In
formed that there was nothing. Asking
at Inst to be permitted to look over the
f packet, the very letter they were awalt
ng wail found stamped as having been
received a week previously. Most clerks,
however, frankly acknowledge their In
capacity, and hand the packets of letters
to each Inquirer who helps himself.
Whenever the traveler comes In contact
with Spanish administration the specta
cle Is the same. The race Is really kept
In tutelage by the British, who are thus
enabled to exploit the peninsula as un
restrainedly as If the hind were under
British rule.
I! I! II
The moment a traveler gets on a Span
ish train he recognizes the incapacity of
the administration. Never was there
known such a shiftless Ineffective rail
way system. Jt Is impossible to count
on time or food, or even warmth. Com
fort on a railway Journey Is the last
thing thought of so soon as the Spanish
frontier Is passed. In the daytime it is
true there Is no need of healing the cars
even In the dead of winter. Save In
northern Spain, the Bun la a solace and
Jov the whole day through. The rugged
and ragged hind, even In the most unin
viting parts of tho country, is bathed In
the glorious yellow radiance of midsum
mer. During an entire Journey In the
middle of winter, for example from Mn
drhl to Cadiz, seven hundred miles or
more, I never saw an hour of overcast
sky during the day. In fact, the car
windows were obliged to be lowered Just
at In summer. At night, however, the
cold Is Intense. So soon as the suit falls
behind the mountains the air Is like ice.
so penetrating that no amount of wraps
can protect you, after the genial expan
sion of the sunshine. Compared to the
best traveling accommodations in Span
ish railways, even the American emigrant
roaches seem a luxury. In them the pas
sengers ciin move about. They nre well
heated. There are accommodations for
physical relief unknown on Spanish rnli
wavs, nnd there is always plenty of water
to ilrlnk and for washing.
In Spain the third-class car is a sight of
hideous discomfort merely to look at. The
mm nrn narrow, there arc but three win
dows to sixty people: the seats run length
wise of the car, with no supports to save
the body from the concussions of jolting,
sudden pulling up or starting. However,
there are compensations even against
these drawbacks. In summer the sun
can't burn the sweltering man, and in
Winter Just as little travel la done us may
be. Furthermore, the Spanish are not a
traveling race, as the French and th
German and the Kngllsh are. They pre
serve much of the picturesque prlmitlve
ness of the romantic era. The peasunl
who hus a tourney to make generally puis
himself astride his fat mule, and, by th;
nay, such fat mules, such glossy mules,
such luxurious mules were never seen
out of an agricultural fair as you shall
see In a dnv's ride In any direction In ine
kingdom of l.eon, Castile, Oranada, Anda
lusia, Catalonia and Arragon.
li I! ii
Even the ass. the butt and Jibe of time,
has a sleekness and well-to-do air of re.
spectiibllity and consideration which
would solace the declining days of that
race of maltreated quadrupeds that car
ried Sherman's warriors through Ueorgia.
Even tho voice Of the Spanish mule Is
ameliorated. There Is none of that inde
scribably strident, wheezing, rasping us
of ten thousand "buckboards" dragged
over Ironwood knots, which marks the
stentorian melodies of the American mule.
Nor, so fur as 1 could see, are his heels
so nimble, his hide so salamandarlne, o.
hls conscience so obdurate to the gentle
insinuations of a well-slung slash. In tho
gaudy landscapes of red clay, scarlet rock
and dull dead green, which make up tho
main features of Spanish landscape, the
country cavalier, prancing gayiy over
the narrow road on his sedate mule. Is a
sight not to be forgotten. His garb Is the
Hurb of the day when the bards sang.
'II ll il
If yon are n Andalusia, the colors a.'c
glowing and diverse. Velvet trousers, it
plush, endlnq Just below the knee-cap well
gartered, oftentimes adorned with silver
bands; silver buttons on the swinging flaps
of the trousers; the waist girded as In
Italy, with a scarf of rich scarlet hue
wound about many times and serving for
braces as well as waistcoat, above this a
pretty Jacket of any gay-colored stuff that
the taste may fancy; on the head a plush
sombrero, more graceful than the slouch
hat because more shapely. Generally this
Is adorned with a gay-colored ribbon or
feather. Nor Is this the custom of the
young and the llght-hearteil alone. All
ages are thus habited, and very charming
It is, too, In contrast with the hideous con
ventionalities of western attire. Even the
mule Is not content with his sleek coat.
He. too. must have rosettes and cocadea,
with beila on hi neck to attune -his prouJ
pacea! So, you see. tnavt what Spain loses
in ine sou l anil material by tne lack or
native enterprise la compensated by the
retention of the fine old forms that we
read about.
You can. go into any of the province of
Spain and reconstitute. In every vestige of
attire and lineament and physique, the
characters of Gil Bias If not of Don QaiX
ote. The foliage and variation of herbage
denied the Spaniards seem to have been
compensated In an Instructive selection of
tho variegated In form and color, which I
not equalled In the most picturesque peo
ples of Italy or Asia, That one expres
sion, "A cms tie In Spain." is responsible
for more deception than the preachings of
Peter the Hermit. The reneral notion of
Spain Is that the land Is like the valley
of Kaselas. a diverslhcatlon of nature's
choicest handiwork: that the mountains
are mounts of beauty, the valleys valea of
enchantment to the eye and languor to
the soul. Spain is anything but that.
From the north, where the solid waU of
the Pyrenees shuts out France, to the
Straits of Gibraltar in the south. Spain
is a series of vast mountain table-lands,
bare as the staked plain of t'tah. Thcra
is rich soil: eveu the mountain sides are
made to yield certain treasure In the
cultivation of the olive, the date and the
orange. But any uch beauty aa come
from masses of foliage forest, green val
leys, running crystal streams, there Is
absolutely none. Even the river par
take of the prevailing hue. The water
of the famous Guadalquivir are a clear
nnt the iiirtv. tmtiltled red of the up
per Missouri or Mississippi, but a clarified
sort of amber not unpleasant to the eye.
II !! II
Even the fish of these streams have a
Hr-h innv ,'iilnr revealing a natural law
and arrangement such as nature alone
seems capable ot carrying on. t nm
never seen n rational explanation of the
bareness of these Rreat stretches of mouu
lulu tablelands and sunny valleys. They
are not stripped of trees because of the
sterllltv of the soil, for you have but to
touch the earth with the absurd wooden
to(.;h-pli ks which serve In lieu of plows,
und crops In the most unstinted abundance
respond. Orange trees grow wherever
planted. Indeed, any sort of trees grow
readily and luxuriantly. On the bleak
hillside, under the perpetual breath of
winter which blows down from the Steri'1
Morena, ul Granada, a small forest of
enns, set out by the Duke of Wellington,
were planted In 1818, and today they are
towering giants, covering the hill and vil
ley of the A 1 ham bra with delicious shade.
The truth probably Is that Spain was,
In Its day, as well wooded aa America, but
Its forty centuries of teeming populations
have denuded It, and the bare handful
who inhabit it today are suffering for the
prodigality of the races of Goths, Moors
and Romans, who, In succession, dwelt
in Its fertile valleys and rich tablelands,
who used anil abused its treasures, and
left no nucleus for after generations. Mor
ally, physically, industrially, Spain Is suf
fering today from the blight of improvi
dent an Improvidence extending back
forty centuries, so far as Its physical
shortcomings go, and no farther back
than '7'i so far as Its political and Indus
trial ones come Into question.
