One week from this mornlnB Penn sylvania Republicans will probably know Just how Senator Quny and David Murtln stand with rcforence to each other. The Information will be Inter esting. Why. Take Needless Risks ' Tho prediction of ex-Conirressmaii Wolverton of Sunbury that there will be a split In both the old parties over the silver question and that Senator Cameron will be nominated nnd elected president by the discontented ones from each of the great parties Is probably far-fetched. We think he overestimates the strength of the radicals who wish nt one clip to turn the economic struc ture up side down. At the same time, It Is In our judg ment apparent that the Republican party bus need to be considerate of the very large element in Its membership. not only In the fur went, but In the east as well, even here In Pennsylvania, which Is not In favor of a contracted currency resting for redemption solely on gold. Four years ngo it declared for bimetallism, by International ugree ment. It cannot this year snfely do less than this: and It would be run ning a very serious and a very needless risk If It were to undertake two months hence to go the length from the Min neapolis bimetallism plunk to a plunk declaring radically for the gold single standard. The war for gold Is of Dem ocratic, origin, flrover Cleveland sturt ted it. It Is essentially an administra tion device, calculated to divert atten tion from Democratic, blundering and from the scrlou consequences of that blundering anions the eople. There fore, Republicans may with propriety munu uui'k miu iei me uemocraue brethren fight It out among themselves. Republicans may differ as to the prop er adjustment ot the currency, but there Is no difference among them as to the proposition that this government should; have enough revenue to pay Its expenses and afford reasonable pro tection to American industry. There fore, the 8t. Louis convention should place its chief emphasis on the protec tive tariff plnnk. To force from Its ranks all who believe In fair play for American silver would be to take risks without reason. Senator Quay stands as good as one chance In three of being nominated at St Louis. While this remains true. Pennsylvania should stay by him. Lecky on Democracy, The English historian, Lecky, has Is sued anew book, "Democracy and Lib erty," which Is an argument against popular government. His attitude to ward the present world-wide trend In the direction of political equality Is one of philosophic, acquiescence but also of personal contempt. "Of all forms of Idolatry," lays he, "I know none more Irrational or Ignoble than this blind Worship of mere numbers." He does not believe that Democracy necessarily means greater liberty, "Equality," he remarks, "la the idol of democracy, but, with the Infinitely various capacities and energies of men, this can only be attained by constant, systematic, stringent repression of their natural development. Whenever natural , forces have unrestricted play, Inequality Is certain to ensue. Democracy destroys the balance of opinions, Interests and daises, on which constitutional liberty mainly depends, and Its constant ten dency la to Impair the efficiency and au thority of parliaments, which 'have hitherto proved the chief organs of political' liberty." This is not by any" means a new prop osition, but It gains in Interest when we reflect that It Is the mature expression of a broad and profound student of our own time, who has lived In the thick of the democratic ferment and has had exceptional opportunity to study the experiment of popular, rule in dally practice. Therel- a tinge of suggestive sharpness to hlii, assertion, especially Interesting to Americans, that" "the voice of the people.V expressed at the polls Is to many politicians the sum of all wisdom, the supreme test of truth or falsehood. It Is even more than this ; It Is Invested with something- very like the plrituaAsfnoaoy -which- theologians have ascribed to baptism. It Is sup posed to wash away all sin." In a flense these comments, typical of many in the book, are clever, but what do they prove? Nothing directly; and perhaps, ufter all. the only value is the suggested thought that since demo cracy Is Inevitably the order of the day. an order not to be expunged by In dividual contempt, the manly plan is to get to work to put democracy at Its btst. Things will not be Improved by sitting back and cracking Jests at them. There is an abundance of serious toil for those who have a mind to shape the experiment of popular rule toward the largest possible consequences of general good. Perhaps in our own country the two greatest dangers are Ignorance and fraud at elections. In the Ideal republic there must be both intelligence and honesty In the elector ate and these forces must be In the ascendancy- Lt Americans question themselves wherein their own democ racy falls short of this Ideal, and then lay to it to correct the short coming. "I have observed," says Uovernor Hastings, "that. In several counties of the state local candidates fasten them selves upon the popularity of one or the other of the presidential candidates and thereby appear to make a good deal more fuss about presidential pos sibilities than really exists. In my Judgment, Pennsylvania Republicans should give loyal support to the Penn sylvania candidate." Isn't that a fine rebuke to the Hon. Christopher L. Ma gee? . . Safety Appliances in Travel. During the seven years from 1SS8 to ISM, 16,257, employes of American rail roads were killed and 172.139 crippled, malned and injured. In 18H3 the atten tion of congress was called to the sub ject, and the result was th enactment of a law requiring comimnles to equip their cars with safety couplers. The law went Into partial effect the follow ing year, and since then the proportion of deaths and non-fatal accidents to total number of employes has gradually decreased. The record begins with 18SS because It was then that the collection of statistics was authorized by law and put under the direction of the Inter state commerce commission. Previous ly no complete record of accidents in connection with railroading was kept. The exuet figures are thus given In tho Chicago Times-Herald: ISitl. Killed. Injured. Employes l.kSi 23,4-'- PiixseiiKPrtl X!4 3.IK1I Other persons 4,3ui 0,W3 Total 6,447 31.S8S" 1S93. Killed. Inj'ired. Employes 2."1'7 31.'l!

Employes 2,070 20.118 Passengers 315 2.138 Other persons 2,897 2,897 Total 8,I!S2 25,8ns Although the law gives the railroad companies until Jan. 1, 1898, to complete the equipment of their cars with safety appliances, many of the roads have already done so. It will be noticed that in 1894, there was a decrease over the preceding year of 904 in the number of killed and of 8,307 in the number of injured. It is known that the death rati) from accidents to rullroad men has decreased 35 per cent, since the safety coupler act was signed by Presi dent Harrison March 2, 18H.1. "There are now In use on freight cars In this country not less than 400,000 air brakes, of which 76,000 were furnished the last fiscal year and more than 100, 000 this year. One hundred thousand were placed in use the year following the passage of the safety appliance act, muklng a total of 275,000 which hiay be directly ascribed to the enact ment of this law. In rough numbers thereiare 1,300,000 freight cars In the United States. Not all of these," u:i the Times Herald points out, "are used In Interstate commerce, but no road cares to long maintain cars which cannot be sent outside a certain state when desired. In 1894 there had been fitted with automatic couplers a total of 357,621, and according to an estimate made by John M. Cloud, secretary of the Master Car Builders' association, the total now . exceeds 000,000 freight cars." It will be remembered that the rail road officials used to claim there were no safe "safety couplers," but the law culling them into use has displaced this assertion. The same peculiarity is no ticeable with reference to street car fenders. A while ago there were no safe fenders, but as soon as the law said there must be such fenders; they appeared. It Is well at times for the lawmakers to prod tho corporations; It generally promotes the public welfare. . The Philadelphia Press has offered a liberal prize to the boy who shall write the best essay on the three, greatest Americans. But who are they? Wash ington and Lincoln, for two, but whom for the third? That Is a good subject for debate. Have our readers, any sug gestions to offer? And,' while on this subject, who are the three greatest liv ing Americans? Arthur McDonald, the government criminologist, says: "I have seen Holmes twice In his cell, and have measured him with Instruments of pre cision, sucb as the kyiiiogrlon, which gives the effects of emotions and thoughts on the breath. T measured him also wi'-h( the aeMht-ylometer, which gives his acuteneas or dulness to sena'dlllty of locality; On the wrist; also with the thermaestheslometcr, which Rives the acuteneas Of his pos sibility ,Ua heat.. I, also used an algo- meter of my own construction on the temporal muscle, giving his acuteaess if sei sibility to pain " We wonder if he measured Holmes' uerve. The esteemed I-ancaster New Era Is unkind to "Jack" Robinson, when It K9.vs of lilm: "It Is either a ery warm or a very cold day that Robinson Is not heaid from In some wy. There does not appear to be a public demand or a public necessity for all this, but the Delaware county consre-'jiism seems to be ti'itt ihpt wjy. .i.id th?re in no help for it Sucl l- e the wsc. the only thing to do is to grin and bear his vagaries. Just as we have to do with many other disagreeable things In our course through life." There are more politicians on earth than John It Rob inson. He may be boisterous and "scrappy," but he has a geod heart. Is a faithful friend and accepts the for tunes of war like a man. He Is not a clam. In every state In the I'nlon, except Malm, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, the law directs that murderers In the first degree snail be executed. Tet. ac cording to mited State District Judge Ira C. Parker, of Fort Smith, Ar kansas, there were. In 1895, 10,503 homi cides In the country, and In the past live years the t- 'al has reached 43,982. I' capital punishment Is a success, why are murder Increasing; If a failure, why 1 3 It not abolished? The nervous kind of way In which Brer Harrlty assu.es his fellow-Democrats that the "sound mcney" cam paign Is- all "!ght does not hve the ef fect of aliening the administration's alurm. The battle of the metals at Chl ceso next July will In sll likelihood be a spectacle worth v.utchlng. The editor of the Cleveland Leader has gone to the trouble to Inform the public In a personal card that ex-Oov-ernor McKlnley, Mark A. Hanna and McKinlcy's private secretary are all Protestants. It strikes us that his seal is a trifle Impertinent. Mr. Cleveland Intends, it Is said, to remember congress with a special fin ancial message. It will doubtless tf ford another Illustration of what its au thor does not know about finance. 0XE VIEW OF SLNATOK QIAl. Says Dr. Edward lledloe, to the Chlca- go Tiin-Hernld: "There is a dlspositlan in the middle states to regard Henator guay's candldncy for the nomination for president as in Nome sense a jest. Mo not think it. There are no elements of a Jolw about it. Neither in any mark or point does guuy answer the description of a favorite son. He has been for years a llgure In natlonul politics, and Is known as broadly as the nation extends. There is no Republican principle to which he does not adhere, and let me say right here that his views are not at all uncertain. Ills position is known. (Juay never dodged or ducked in his life; he has not said one thing hero and another there; he has not advanced a principle or a propo sition in congress and disowned it on the stump. It is not necessary to put him un der oath and take his deposition to get his convictions on currency or his tariff Ideas. He Is hiding nothing. He wouli muke a strong candidate, and of his suc cess no man who understands him or the situation would hazard a doubt. II i II "Quay's courage has always been a dis tinguishing trait. He combines both the moral and tho physical sort. He resigned Ills command of a Pennsylvania regiment on account of long continued weakness which made it Impossible for him lo survive three months more Held experi ence. The acceptance of his resignation came the day before Fredericksburg. He hail gained repute us a warrior who did not know fear, and his fellow-ofllcers en deavored to keep him out of the tight He would not listen to any arguments, but Insisted he would not turn his buck on his men when the lines were arranged for trouble. He was conspicuous in the bloody day of Dec. 13, 18'12, and rode in the six times repeated charge of the ter rible heights of St. Ma rye. Seven thou sand federal soldiers lay dead on the pathway to the confederate works. Weak ami sick as he was, t'olouel Quay wus in the thick of the smoke. II II II "Ald-de-Camp Pearson says thut where ever the lire was hottest Colonel Quay was riding, cheering his men on. When nil attempt was madu by a part of the fed erals to restrain the advance of Tyler's brigade Colonel Quay brought order out of what threatened to be disastrous confu sion. " 'Ride over them,' he shouted, and the determination which the men of the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth showed to obey his order stopped all further attempt to hold them back. "General Tyler give this euloglum of Colnel Quay's gallantry, " continued Dr. Heilloe. " 'Colonel Quay was upon my stuff as a voluntary aid-de-camp, anil to him I am greatly Indebted. Notwithstand ing his enfeebled health, he was In the saddle early and late, ever prompt and ef ttcient, especially so during the engage ment. In the charge on Marye's Heights his coolness and gallantry were of a most conspicuous character, such Indeed as few men in sound health could have equaled, and such as 1 never say excelled under any circumstances. 1 but feebly express it when I say his conduct commanded my highest admiration. Not satlslied with his labor of the afternoon, and, although so weak from his sickness as to be scarce ly able lo travel, he remained In the tlel I, aiding In removing the wounded from un der the enemy's guns until after mid night.' 'Wintleld M. Clark was the captain of Company F, of the One Hundred and Thir-ly-fmirth. the company which hud tweni ty-three out of its llfly-two men Kiueii or wounded within the short space of twelve minutes. " 'Colonel Quay,' he says, Mid not try to protect himself, as some officers did, bv dismounting, but rode his horse to within a few yards of the wall.' "The coolntBS of Colonel Quay Is well shown In a remark which Captain Clark atrrlbutes to him when an effort was be ing made to re-form the line near the enemy's works, hut under cover of a pro tecting knoll. The confederate cannon were roaring and the whistle of the mus ket balls could be distinctly heard. As was quite natural, a certain degree of ter ror pervaded the troops, and seeing its manifestation In the efforts of pome of the men to more fully protect themselves, Colonel Quay, who was astride his charger and making energetic efforts to restore order, exclaimed: " 'Damn it, boys, what are you dodging for; if I can sit on my horse and the bul lets go over my head, they certainly can't II II II ' "The personality of such a man Is In teresting. He Is not exactly the kind ono might expect him to be, solely from ob-uor-vliiir his nolltrnl career. He la retir ing In manner, subdued and unsensatlonal In address. He is uomesiic in nin lumen, and when he Is not In the senate or en gaged In political conferences he is usually to be found in his own home. There in his family and among his books he passes much time. Ho loves to entertain his friends, who ever find there a spirit of wholesome hospitality. Those friends who are admitted to the privacy or nis nome circle are few in number, but he is at tachad to them by an affection rnrely round among men who are wrapped up In public affairs. Quay Is a student and finrnethlng of a hookworm. He has one bf the largest and most carefully selected private libraries In Washington. It con uinn nhout lo.ooo volumes, and little ex cept the highest glnd of literature. He huys every nook insi nas 10 uo wun nv history of polities of his own country as It conies out, and there are probably not hnlf a dozen men In public life who are so thoroughly familiar as he with the po litical annals of the United States." , WHAT HASTINGS SAID. From tho Harrlsburg Patriot. "The argument that Pennsylvania Is too strongly Republican to come within the presldiMlal range Is old but worthies. It Is not necessary now to give the nomi nation to a doubtful state to secure suc cess at the polls. Besides, there la no doubtful northern state. Maine, Ohio and Iowa now are as surely Republican as Pennsylvania, only thev don't equal us in majorities. emphasise our loyalty to Americttn protection and sound money by a hundred thousand more majority thn they .lo, but that fact should nut count ax.iin.st a home candidate. It U pretty nearly Pennsylvania's time for a presi dential candidate if such things are to be considered; und a united and enthusias tic support would in my judgment bring the Pennsylvania candidate far Inside of the possibility circle. "I admire the loyal support given to Reed by the Republicans of Maine, and to McKlnley by the 'Huckeyes anil to Allison by the people of his state, and I would like to see the party In Pennsyl vania as heartily enthusiastic for her can didate. Fersonul disagreements and lo -ul jealousies should be lost sight of In the great pride of the possible opportunity to have a citizen of our own state till the presidential chair. "Whoever Is nominated." added the gov ernor earnestly, "l'cnnsylvanla will give the successful man the greatest majority of any state. Our people, our Industries, our wage earners, our hope for returning prosperity stand for sound money and the American idea. Senator Quay represents these us distinctly as any other American citizen. I believe the best Interests of the I arty will be subserved by giving our can didate the same generous and loyal sup port which sister states are giving their champions, and I expect td see practically a united delegation at St. Louis making a brave and determined effort to secure the nomination of Senator Quay." NO Xr.F.lt FOR A BOLT. From the Lebanon News. The Republican national convention rices not need to antagonize the silver men. and there will then be no occasion for a bolt. The Republican party hereto fore dealt wisely ami Judiciously with the money question and It can be trust J to do so again. TOLD 11Y THE STARS.
