Secretaries.
It la noticeable that the onward
march of the loud-sounding MeKinley
boom has of late grown somewhat un
steady. Can It be that Mark Hanna's
"babies," Piatt and Quay, are setting
down to hard work?
The State Chairmanship.
The formal announcement by Deputy
Attorney General John P. Elkln, of
Indiana county, that he has consented
to be a candidate for state chairman
to succeed Senator Quay, who has at
last decided not to seek a re-election,
will gratify that large element In the
party which has been looking forward
with mingled feelings 'of regret and
disgust to a possible Infliction of some
such mnn as Andrews or Leach. The
circumstances attending Mr. Elkln's
announcement are such as to leave no
doubt of his sincerity and very little
that lie will have the tac it If not the
open support of Senator Quay. All
that Is needed Is a free field and no fa
vors; upon such conditions Mr. Elkln
ought to have very little difficulty In
securing the honor as against Frank
Willing Leach by an overwhelming ma
jority. :
Mr. Elkln has been for years a warm
friend of Senator Quay but he has not
lacked in those essentials of friendship
which prompt to wise counsel and time
ly admonition. He has not sought to
trade on the senator's favor, nor has
he ever tried to set up a sub-dynasty
for his own personal advantage. Had
Senator-Quay listened, one year ago,
to the' honest opinion of men like El
kln, there would have been no factional
warfare. It Is a reassuring augury to
discover that the senator has at last
reached a realization of the disadvant
ages incident to a noisy and officious
retinue of none too respectable hangers
on and Is preparing to widen the circle
of his confidantes to Include clean men
and true,
'We should .have liked to see our ex
perienced fellow-townsman, Colonel
Watres, made state chairman again;
but the chairmanship of a gentleman
like Mr. Elkln will doubtless be equal
ly efficient and certainly no less satis
factory In its promise ot political
cleanliness.
Mayor Bailey will discover that de
Jar only serves to sharpen the appetites
and the knives.
Political Ethics.
It Is greatly to the discredit of Ameri
can politics that any one should feel
called upon to disouas the religious be
liefs of the candidates for president.
That In the Interest Ot one of these
candidates It should have been thought
necessary to make a public statement
ot the denominational adulations not
only of himself, but also of his man
servant, his maid-servant and the
guest within his gates, Is to be regret
ted and deplored, as introducing into
the canvass a factor which has no
rightful place there. The civil govern
ment of the United States Is happily
separated from ecclpsiastlclsm and
while the present temper of the vast
majority of the American people en
durea, It will remain In this state of
completo divorce. No president would
dare to recognise lines of religious
cleavage or division in his olllclal ca
pacity as the executive head of a non
sectarian government, and no sect
would dare to ask for such exclusive or
discriminatory recognition. Therefore
the religious test In national politics Is
wholly uncalled for.
, On the other hand, It Is distinctly to
i the credit of American politics that the
recent effort of a small number of poli
ticians to caBt odium upon one of the
prominent candidates for having been
at one time helped out of a financial
difficulty by the unsolicited contribu
tions of wealthy friends and admirers
has utterly' failed of its purpose. This
unfeeling attempt to turn to factional
account a purely personal business
Vicissitude in which there was no ten-
- able ground for suspicion and no ves
": tlge ot evidence tending under the most
strained construction to warrant an in
ference of dishonor, was very properly.
- rebuked by decency-loving cltisens of
both parties, In terms which left no
' , room for mistake as to the public's in
tention ot demanding fair play, It Is
1 boilers the fine ataae ot juatlee which
moved the public to resent with swift
Indignation the 'ghoulish effort to
blacken William McKintey's prablty as
a private citUen will be equally Insist
ent upon, the elimination of the sec
tarian, element from the next presiden
tial campaign.
Meanwhile, it will be observed that
one Robert Emory Pattison is busily
engaged in concealing his views on the
currency and other live questions.
Senator Quay's Chances.
Mr. Manley, as the general-in-chlef
of the Reed forces, has naturally denied
the story that the antl-McKinley con
tingent exwta to concentrate at St.
Louis on Senator Quay. At the same
time, his denial must not be taken
too seriously, nor must It be too
readily concluded that Senator Quay
Is not a full grown possibility. It
Is not likely that any fixed
programme has yet been mapped out
for observance at St. Louis. Such a
proceeding at this early day would be
decidedly premature. But It Is alto
gether probable that the leaders now
actively arrayed against the Ohio as
pirant have given careful thought to
what they would like to do In the event
of their being able to control the na
tional convention, and It Is equally
probable that the choice of most of
them would. In certain contingencies,
be Quay.
Among the reasons which give a color
of warrant to such a conclusion may be
mentioned the fact that they know and
admire Quuy as perhaps the shrewdest
politician of his generation, and being
politicians themselves, each subject in
his respective community to that large
ly mistaken prejudice which obtains
among many well-meaning people
against the men who do the hard work
in political campaigns. It Is plausible
to suppose that they have for Colonel
Quay a specially ardent fellow feeling.
They would feel that If he were nomin
ated and elected president, he would
not only give the country a clean, safe
and conservative administration along
practical business lines, but would also
be more likely to deal fairly by his
friends and supporters than would
some candidate nominated on a plat
form of professed hostility to them.
This may look like a selfish attitude,
but it is indisputably a natural one,
and in the present condition of politics
in this country it represents a cohesive
power at political conventions not to be
overlooked.
Theoretically, perhaps, such a view
of the problem may not coincide with
the highest ideals of the public service.
Practically, It amounts to a recognition
of conditions not to be Ignored, and
for that reason, if the so-called practi
cal politicians are In control at St.
Louts, the nomination of Senator Quay
for the presidency will by no means be
out of the question. On the other
hand, we believe that he would. If
elected, exhibit a . degree of caution,
practical Bagacity and expert grasp up
on the moving springs of politics and
legislation which would make his chief
magistracy more than ordinarily sat
isfactory and successful. The one now
conceded defect In General Harrison's
otherwise brilliant administration was
hla Inability to keep in touch with the
leaders of his party. Wishing to be
conscientious, he went, to an extreme
In the direction of Independence, and
thus, In the end, rendered futile much
of his highest endeavor. Such a mis
take would be avoided by a political
general like Quay, for he would under
stand methods as well as ends.
All this, of course, Is largely conjec
tural; but It is a line of thought which
takes cognizance of obvious facts, and
It explains why the .Quay candidacy
has a potential strength not apparent
on the surface. .
Does' anybody know, whether the re
port was correct that Senator Cameron
had decided not to seek an election as
a delegate-at-large to St. Louis?
The Rules of the Road.
Timely, attention Is called by the
Pittsburg Commerclal-Gasette to a
fruitful source of mischief In populous
cities arising from neglect of the simp
lest precautions In traveling. "Now
that the season for promenading, horse
back riding, driving and bicycling has
come, serious injuries are reported," it
says, "growing out -of collisions and
other accidents incident to crowded
thoroughfares and fast-moving ve
hicles. If correct statistics were kept
of these casualties the loss of life would
be found appalling. There are thou
sands maimed for life who might es
cape injury altogether by the exercise
of proper caution and the observance of
those rules which are essential to safe
ty. The greatest sufferers from road
accidents In recent years have been the
riders of bicycles, and while one rea-
son of this Is their recklessness as to
speed, the main cause Is their utter
disregard ot the ordinary regulations
which govern those moving over the
streets and highways.
"There are many rules, but the most
Important of all Is that embodied In
the familiar direction keep to the
right. Everyone should learn the im
portance of this Injunction, since neg
lect of It may bring serious trouble
when least expected. Some pfi'sons
seem naturally perverse, and rather
disposed to take the wrong side of the
road even though the other should be
the most inviting: There are tfiose who
persist in keeping to the left of the
sidewalk nnd jostling everyone they
meet, while they could get on much
more speedily and comfortably by
keeping their proper position and mov
ing with the current. The same kind
of persons are encountered on the high
ways, and much of the pleasure of rid
ing and driving Is lost by reining up,
pulling out and in, and calculating
how to avoid apprehended dangers. .
"The bicycle rider Is of all others
most likely to surfer In case of collision.
He has a light and swift-moving ve
hicle, but he Is not always able to extri
cate himself from perilous positions and
should be careful to keep within the
bounds of safety at all times. Fami
liarity with the use of the wheel seems
to beget carelessness as to danger and
recklessness as regards speed. They
are often seen moving at a 'scorching'
rate, and will dash from side to side
and over crossings and around corners
at a speed which certainly Invites dis
aster." V ,
In this city there is an ordinance
limiting the speed of bicycle riders to
Un miles an hour and requiring the
plain sounding of signal bells when the
rider approaches a crossing. The or
dinance has been on the statute books
for nearly three years, but we d not
recall that a single arrest has been
made under It, notwithstanding the
daily violations of It by thoughtless or
careless riders In almost every part of
the city. In Buffalo, where a similar
ordinance prevails, police mounted on
bicycles give Instant chase to every
"scorcher." and the result is that' al
though Buffalo has more than 40,000
wheelmen, fast riding in much-traveled
portions of the city Is almost unknown.
If common sense and reason are not
sufficient to safeguard pedestrians In
Scan ton, It will be necessary to resort
to sterner methods. While the great
majority of our wheelmen are consider
ate and careful, there is a sufficient per
centage of reckless riders to warrant
She authorities In taking note of fla
grant violations of the bicycle ordin
ance, and they cannot do this too soon
for the comfort of those who walk.
The generous offer of Mr. William H.
Richmond to buy the first 100 copies of
the Soranton Women's Paper to be is
sued by The Tribune May 14, paying
for them tl apiece, merits grateful rec
ognition. There Is no question that each
copy of this handsome nnd comprehen
sive special edition, filled as It will be,
by valuable contributions from the
most gifted women writers of this com
munity, will be worth easily the sum
which Mr. Richmond offers. And when
It Is remembered that the proceeds of
the edition are to be devoted to a most
worthy philanthropic purpose, the ap
propriateness of the proffer gains In em-,
phasls. The liberal example thus set
should lead to Imitation.

Chicago's drainage canal, is ready to

gain, her4 is his chance.
The Harrlsburg Patriot Intimates

THE TkEE OF DESPAIR.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
From time to time there Is what Is
called an epidemic of suicide. We ap
pear to have reached once more ona of
thcBe frightful cycles. Whatever be true
of the generic descent of tha human
species, the tendency to Imitation la so
strong in It that monkeys themselves, to
say nothing ot sheep, are not more llablo
to follow a striking example, especially
If fatuous and evil. Let a poor maniao
cxtli'putu hla faintly ami extinguish him
self, and Immediately In various parts of
tho country men will bo found, not ma
niacs, as the law uses the word, to at
tempt the same monstrous undertaking,
some proportion of the number succeed
ing. Among the causes of suicide none Is
more active or proline, however, than
the creed whose preachment has pro
ceeded in recent years with extraordi
nary enurgy. Tho creed consists of two
articles. This Is Its catchism: 1. Who
mude you? Ana. Nobody. 1 urn a spon
taneous generation from matter, 'i.
What motive have you for living? Ans.
None whatever, except to get out of life
whatever pleasure I can. When I cease
to get pleasure out of it I have a right to
destroy it.
To this catechism there Is now an ap
pendix of widespread popularity. It is
the dogma of degeneracy. A Lombroso,
himself a convicted thief, arises and pro
claims that, with whatever defects or de
basing tendencies a human being Is born,
by those shall he be predominated, A Iler
tillon measures a human being with a
tape and, by the turn of his toe, the di
mensions of his nose and the curve of his
eyebrow, deckles that he was born to be
a orlmnul. If, In addition to these, an
Ingersoll is right, then we have a com
plete creed of despair. Mun Is no more
than a dog or a bird in his origin, no more
in his destinjr; human beings are no bet
ter than diseased dogs or cnrrlon birds;
and the sooner they do away with them
selves the better for them and for society.
Sulatdc Is the Inevitable fruit of this
creed of despair. The Greeks, "who knew
not Clod" its a Hebraic and a Christian era
has believed It knows and in that belief
has largely transformed the world, called
It fnte, not ribald and vulgnr degeneracy.
Even the Brahman finds In the absorp
tion of the Individual soul after death
into the soul of the world, like the ab
sorption of a wave by the sea, a powerful
Incentive to a life of self-denial and vir
tue. The creed of despair alms Its pois
oned shaft directly at the helpful doctrine
of hope, and where the latter would arouse
Individual will to exert Its freedom and
increase its strength to overcome Inherit
ed tendencies that weaken or degrade the
creed of despair whispers cynically, what
a fool you are. Since there be no respon
sibility In your origin, and none awaits
your' taking off, why, as Lord Hamlet
saVB.' should you fardels bear, when you
can your quietus make -with a bare bod
kin? II II, II. ' :,
The modern gospel of despair, more
squalid aa well as more blasphemous
than that of fatality, which the Greeks
and Romans held, Is largely responsible
for the epidemics of voluntary life-taking.
Eliminate from the human heart
sense of responsibility and capacity for
hopefulness and little Incitement to re
sist temptation or to realize duty of any
nature in relation to life survives. Lom
broso, Hertlllonlsm carried to excess, nnd
a sparkling cyiilealmni Intoxicating the
superficial and the shallow, only to de
press afterward Into disbelief In anything
but anlmallty, have combined to form
the current creed whose fruit is ashes.
II II H
The spectacle of a blatant and bizarre
Infidel preaching In a Christian church
In Chicago marks a peculiarly dilapi
dated epoch In the progress of this de
moralizing gospel. Religion, whose other
name ought to be hope and helpfulness,
has been reduced, In this Instance to
the schedule of a dime museum, whoso
Interest Is contingent on the number and
variety of its freaks and the rapidity
with which dislocations, perversions nnd
lusus naturae can be presented to the uu
dlanee, who are expected to be the more
delighted In proportion to the monstrosity
or plcturesqueness of the attractions, '

W.'r. Curtis, In Chicago Record.
I am asked "whether It Is not true that
the Wilson-Gorman tariff law contributed
very largely to the prosperity ef the farm
ing population by extending the exports of
agricultural products In comparison with
what they were under the Mckinley law."
The only way tr answer such a question
Is to compare the figures as they appear
in the reports of tha bureau of statistics,
it would be scarcely fair to compare tho
llscal year of 18D." with the fiscal year of
1RII4, because In the former case the ex
ports of llfty-elght days came under the
MeKinley law. And It would be equally
unfair to compare the calendar year of
IdM with tho calendar year of 1894, because
In the latter case the exports of 135 days
were conducted under the Wilson-Gorman
law, During the flsgal year of 1894 and the
calendar year of 185 conditions were very
similar, although there was a consider
able fall In prices, which will be noticed
by comparing the quantity and the value
of tho articles exported.
The following table shows the value of
the principal agricultural articles export
ed from the United States during the fis
cal year liW, under the MeKinley law, and
during the calendar year 1895. under the
