Election Pay, Nov. 3.
The possibility that the Republican
national convention may hnve to be
postponed one mouth will be welcome
news to the public, If not to the dele
Rates. A postponement until next Oc
tober would be still more welcome.
One month's active campaigning this
fall would be ample, in view of all the
circumstances.
The St. Louis Cyclone.
Of all the forma of disaster that be
fall mankind, the cyclone, next to the
earthquake, Is the most sudden, the
most appalling' and the most destruc
tive. It baffles prevision. It laughs to
scorn the shrewdest precautions. Its
elemental fury makes llternl child's
play of the puny energies of man. I'pon
the wings of the storm It rides a
race with death and with Kiim Irony
often smites tho stronrt while sparing
the weak and the infirm. Science has
striven In vain to nmilylze Its secret.
But no sooner are Ingenious theories pa
tiently constructed than this d?spot of
the elements, In sheer caprice, de
molishes them with a breath and leaves
behind a new wake of horrors.
In the shadow of the latest exhibi
tion of this stupendous errant energy
one finds it difficult to clinnr to con-ventl:-:-.:'t
beliefs as to tho Immutabil
ity of natural law. One in Inclined
rather to wonder If nature, too, has
not her periods of fitfulness and decep
tion, when from sheer exuberance of
conscious strength she gives rein to
mighty passion or play to the vagaries
of reckless fancy. A perusal of tho
ghastly record which comes from St.
Louis prepares one the better to com
prehend the philosophy of the undents,
which personified the elemental forces
and conceived of them as sentient dis
tributors of pleasure or rebuke.
And yet there 19 nothing in the an
nals of the Mississippi basin which
could by any excess of the Imagination
be magnified Into a fit provocation for
such a destructive doom. Two days
ago, in that now stricken section, na
ture was smiling with the tranquility of
an Infant in slumber, and mankind w;-re
busy with the quiet cares of peace.
A community of CW.OOt) people, the fifth
largest In the country, was making the
earlier preparations which precede a
great convention, without more than
a casual thought of the furious on
coming disaster which had even then
sent scattered heralds of its approach.
Whether, If they had foreseen the Im
pending danger, there could have bfcen
found within the seemingly Illimitable
capabilities of the human mind a par
tial safeguard or protection Is doubtful.
Before such exercises of the fundamen
tal energies humanity stands abject and
powerless. Nor can any prophet tell
where the next catastrophe will pick
its victims and select Its site.
It Is instructive to recall that when
Abraham Lincoln was first nominated
for the presidency the news reports of
the convention were all handled by one
operator, wheieas, prior to the cyclone,
preparations had been made at St.
Louis for 200 operators, capable of
sending 20,000.000 words dally.
An Open Challenge.
Ex-Attorney General Palmer's man
ly stand against the corrupt use of
money in connection with the nomina
tion of a successor to Congressman
Leisenrlnf ought to be the signal for
such a massing of the forces of decency
In trtizerne Republicanism ns will ef
fectually prevent a repetition of the
convention abuses of two years ago.
At that time It was unreservedly
charged by prominent Republicans In
the Twelfth district, and not denied,
that large sums of money were used
among the delegates and were largely
the nutans of influencing their action.
We do not place the primary blame
for such use of money upon the men
who had it to use. Politics Is like war.
It Incites pugnacious feelings, stimu
lates large ambitions and, In tho climax
of Its' stress and Intensity, inspires
many actions which In cooler moments
are regretted. In no other field of hu
man activity does there seem to be so
.much apparent Justification of the
Jesuitical principle that "the end
Justifies tho means." ; It Is a game
which men enter upon with eyes open
to its . conditions and consequently
there is small room for sympathy In
behalf pt those who permit themselves
to be outplayed. 'Therefore, while as
Vn abstract proposition it is as wrong
for men to buy votes as It is for other
men to sell them, practically, and in
the modifying circumstances of actual
expertenee, tat fundamental blame for
corrupt political practices belongs upon
those uprlfht electors who, by holding
aloof from the party primary, open tUe
door to vicious practices and invite the
unpleasant consequences.
As a rr.etter of fact, the man who
buys a vote with money la probably
just as guiltless as the man who win
It by cajolery or by false promises. The
very word "iiollttes" suggests the lat
ter. At Its best It Is synonymous with
diplomacy and finesse, terms which
when translated literally generally
meun duplicity and lying. Inasmuch
as It Is not polite always to call a spade
a spade, society has resorted to tho
convenient conventionality of re-ihrls-tenlng
a swindler a "diplomatist" and
a liar a "man of finesse." The "politi
cian" Is by common consent the sick
and clever diplomatist who tricks peo
ple Into voting as he directs. Whether
In morals this Is more to be desired
than the outright payment of the stipu
lated price is a point of such delicacy
that we waive a discussion of It.
But however this subject be viewed,
there can be no dissent from the propo
sition that good citizens ought to co
operate within party lines for the Im
provement of the tone of politics; und
this can better be done by getting down
into the trenches than by standing
back in a superficially critical attitude
upon the ramparts. General Palnitr. a
conceded!' fit man, hus told the good
citizens of Luzerne county that he will
be their candidate for congress if they
will nominate him without the corrupt
use of money. This Is u fair and open
challenge, which ought to bring on a
test of strength between those Republi
cans In the mother comity who want
clean politics and those who do not.
We await the Issue with curiosity.
Clarkson. I'latt. et nl., should give
Senator Quay the benefit of the cir
cumstance that self-preservation Is the
first law of nuUuv.
Painless Dentistry.
If report be true, Dr. II. II. Schumann,
a Chicago dentist, must hereafter bu tic
counted one of the conspicuous bene
factors of the human race. For Inft is
who is credited with having devised a
process to invest with truthfulness that
conventional fiction of dentistry: "Teeth
extracted without pain," and also with
having, very un-Ohlcago-llke, decided
not to apply for.a patent on it or organ
ize a stock company.
Dr. Schumann's specific contains
neither chloroform, ether, nitro-oxygen
nor hypnotism. It does not put its
patient into a trance. On the contrary,
the patient "has the satisfaction while
the operation Is being performed, of re
taining all his senses and not suffering.
The dentist" we quote from the Tlines
Herald "takes live nerves from hlii
gums and holds them up for Inspection."
And what is this wonderful process?
The diffusion of cocaine by the power of
electricity and the benumbing of
nerve centers by the strength of thirty
volts of electricity. In further explana
tion of the discovery our Chicago con
temporary says;
Kli'ctii. lty ordinarily applied, snooks llio
human system. Like coculne, it may kill
on the Instant. Thf proljl.-m to bf solved
was the control of a voltage which would
lieniinili the nerves, and, at the ianie time,
not affect the patient In the slightest ae
tiree. Dr. Schumann solved that problem
a month ago and made the solution public
yesterday as a contribution to science,
with an Edison electric current und a Ale.
Intosh battery, he demonstrated that any
electrical surgery now practiced might be
performed without the slightest pain, th?
subject being conscious all the time the op
eration was being performed. In proof
of this Dr. Schumann placed a representa
tive of the Times-Herald in a chair. To
his hand he uttached two electrodes, one
in the palm of the hand and one on the
back. They represented the negative pole
of a battery. Selecting a particularly ten
der tooth of the patient he placed upon it
a bit of cotton, saturated with a solution
of which IM per cent, was cocaine. Ove;'
this was placed a rubber cap, which In
sulated all the teeth adjacent to the one
to be treated. For the positive pole of his
battery he had a fine platinum wire, Willi
a point the size of a large nepdlo. This
he plunged into tho rotton covering 1 1-
iiohlnir tooth. Then lie bcfcau to apply
the electricity. The Killfon current at his
disposal represented 110 voltage. Tills was
reduced to forty-five voltage by a sixteen
candle power hiinp. Even then the our.
rent u.u not permitted to reach the tcoth
until it passed through a storage power
battery, controlled by two sets of power
keys. One of these sets applied to the
tooth, with each touch of a button, half a
volt of nower. The other set applied fivo
volts. The patient did not feel the appli
cation of the electricity. For fifteen min
utes he laid quietly In the chair wonder
ing what next would happen. At the end
of that time Dr. Schumann took his sur
gical Instruments and drew from the
tooth a live nerve, holding It up for the In.
spKctioii of his subject. There was no
pain in the operation.
We do not need to point out the Im
portance of this discovery if the fore
going account of it shall be borne out
by subsequent tests. There probably
Is no person among those before whose
eyes these lines will pass who has not
had frequent occasion to lament the
Iniquity of mankind which is responsi
ble for the delusive promises, that
dentists so readily make and break, of
painless operations. If we are skeptic
al In this latest Instance, It Is a legiti
mate inheritance from generations of
betrayed confidence In dentists' verac
ity. Mr. Harrity, while predicting that
pold will win at Chicago.casts an anchor
to the windward by remarking, Immed
iately afterward: "But under any and
all circumstances the party will hold
together, for the preservation of Its
Integrity is of more consequence even
than the great financial issue now be
fore the country." Who said Mr. Har
rity was not cute?
The Diplomatic View.
If all Miat has been printed In the
newspapers concerning Senator Quny's
now famous pilgrimage to Canton, O.,
were pasted together Into a single slip
one column wide, It would make a rib
bon of paper probably long enough to
reach from New York to San Francisco.
Tho ink spent on this simple act of
travel would doubtless stock a hundred
printing offices. The wasted brain tis
sue would, If we could conceive of It
as being concentrated Into one mind,
In all probability produce a greater man
than Washington. Napoleon. Lincoln,
Bismarck and Gladstone combined.
And yet, what does It till signify? Mere
ly that Quay went to Canton, saw Me
Klnley and returned home. Nothing
less and nothing more.
Or, to use the more polished language
and the slightly extended details of
Hon. Charles Emory Smith: "When
the delegates were elerted Senator
Quay saw that Governor McKlnley's
nomination was absolutely sure, and he
was sensible and sagacious enough to
go straight to McKinley; and say to
him that he recognized find bowed- to
that trutu. This is what Quay did, and
McKinley received the proffer as any
dignified, self-contained and brcad
tnlndod man world do 'under the same
circumstances. The Intel view was en
tirely honorable both sides, end it
did not so beyond the bounds of honor
on either. It did not Involve any trade
or bargain; It did not inrclve any ques
tions of :atronagc: it did not Involve
any problems of management. It was
only a frank recognition, on the one
side, cf a settled result, and a digni
fied acceutance of it on the other, and
It carried nothing but the Implication,
wh!' h rules among honorable Repub
licans, that fair treatment shall be met
with fair treatment."
In Mr. Sial'.h's Judgment the nveitlng
had .lust a trifle further significance.
It signified that Senator Quay,
"without possosslnir exclusive preroga
tives, would be treated with the defer
ence which belongs to his acknowledged
position;" njid it also signified that he
"would also have the wisdom to recog
nize, if his personal partisans did not.
that thobe who had aided in the result
which he finally and coinmendubly ac
cepts, would not be altogether voice
less." Neatly and delicately put.
Ill-other S.iii'.h; a fit demonstration of
that tactful diplomacy which we hope
soon to see ensconced In the appropriate
position of ambassador cf the lulled
States at the court cf St. James.
We dislike to believe that Speaker
Reed la the victim of any tucli opinion
concerning his relationship toward the
Republican party as Is expressed lu
his behalf by Senator Lodge, who de
clares that Mr. Reed would not honor
a unanimous party call to the vlce
ptesldeiicy. Mr. Reed Is a big and
biainy man; perhaps In Intellectual
girth he Is the greatest of living Re
publican statesmen. Rut neither he
nor any other American has a right to
think of himself as superior to the re
mainder of his fellow-citizens put to
gether. If the St. Louis convention by
a united expression asks Mr. Reed to
accept the subordinate place on the
ticket with McKinley, it will be mutiny
on his part to resist; and he will en
counter the danger which has befallen
men before him who have regarded
themselves as exceptions to the com
monly accepted rules of proper politi
cal behavior. Whether Mr. Lodge ap
preciates this fact or not, we are not
ready to think that Mr. Reed can be
deceived In his own estimate of its
significance.
The talk of a serious bolt among the
Democrats this year Is probably base
less Men who at this late day have
the poor Judgment to remain Democrats
can be depended upon to swallow what
ever platform shall be placed before
them at Chicago.
M'KINLEY'S STRENQTH ANALYZED.
"Penn," In Philadelphia Bulletin.
If William McKinley shall be nominated
at St. Louis unanimously, as Is now com
ing within the rnnse of possibility. It will
be one. of the very few exumples of such a
nomination In our political history. Since
Hie time when the Whig party unanimous
ly rallied around Henry Clny In 1811 there
have been but three candidates who have
been named for the presidency without op
position in the conventions. Lincoln and
(irant are the only Republicans who have
had that distinction. Since the time ot
Van Buren, Cleveland, when he came up
for the second term in 1888, has been th
only Democrat to receive a presidential
nomination without a dissenting voice.
Nor has there ever been a presidential
canvass with more than one candidate in
the field when the result has been so near
ly foreshadowed at a corresponding stage
of the proceedings In advance of the con
vention, aa It Is today in the case of Mc
Kinley. In every such Instance In the past
the result of the contest has been involved
in doubt up to the eve of the convention,
The nearest approach to an exception was
In ISTti. when Samuel J. Tilden, with a pop
ular Democratic movement behind him
at that time, not unlike that for McKinley
today among the Republicans, had ob.
tallied a clear majority of the St. Louis
convention and was opposed by John Kel
ly with Ids Tammany followers in the east
and by Thomas A. Hendricks nnd n paper
money rrewd In the west with the re
rtmote hope that they would prevent him
landing under mo two-thlrils rule.
The nomination of McKinley will be one
more example of the ever (,'t'owiug power
of tho west. The west ill tho lUimhlirfin
pdi'iy loiiay 1ms the name boundless am
bition that the south had In the palmy
dnys of Hie Democratic party. Since tho
time of Fremont all the presidential can
didates of the Republicans have been west
ern men nltli the single exception of
Blaine. It Is a remarkable fact that the
other nine nominations have been con
fined to the three states immediately north
of the Ohio river four in Illinois, two in
Indiana, and, with McKinley, three in
Ohio, ft Is hardly less remarkable that
Pennsylvania, the next to the east of this
tier of states, usually the banner state of
Republicanism in recent years and al
ways in former years the one state whose
October verdict was the fingerboard of
presidential campaign, has yet to name a
candidate whom the party or the country
would lake seriously. But throughout the
east, from Stewari down to Tom Rued, in
eluding a long llr.u of possibilities, llkq
CoiiklliiK. Cameron, Jewell, Hartranft,
Edmunds Hawley, Phelps und Depew,
Blaine was the only Republican who cams
out of a national convention in triumph.
At every quadrennial guthering of the par
ty the power of the west Increases with the
census or the admission of new states. On
the sunrise side of the Alleglienles It Is no
longer possible to form a combination cf
politicians that can control the rest of tha
country.
It la becoming more difficult, moreover,
for syndicates of trained politicians to
hold sway over national conventions. Vp
to 18t)2 they had never succeeded In either
party In forcing a candidate of their own
upon it against the uopular drift, but they
had often prevailed in heading-oft other
candidates. The downfall of the Hill-Gorman-Brice
syndicate at Chicago In
1KII2, and of the Quay-Platt-Clarkson syn
dicate at Minneapolis, together with the
Impending failure of the same concern this
year searves In part to show that parties
are becoming too big and diversified for
cliques of professional party leaders to
dominate, especially when, a: In all threj
cases, there is no lever of federal patron.
Hjje to fall back upon, vjuuy. especially,
hns been singularly unlucky In every pres
idential canvass In which he has ever
taken a hand so far as picking out the
winner Is concerned. He went down with
Grant for a third term, with John Sher.
inun In '8S and with Blaine In '&!. und his
own boon this year hus not been an objp.-t
of very serious contemplation anywhere
outside of Pennsylvania, as he himself
never supposed It would be. There Is no
reason to believe, however, thnt he has
gone Into the antl-McKlnley movement
so far thnt h may not lie able to beat a
retreat before the opening of the St. Louis
convention without loss of self-respect.
Pcivonnlly It Is not known that there has
ever existed between him and McKinley
the slightest feeling of enmity.
Probably the primary cause of the op
position to AleKltiley on the part of east
ern politicians was thn Instinctive tea.
from the start that they would be domi
nated by the Ohio Influence ntid bo olillaej
to fo through an experience similar to thnt
which overlook theip under Haves and
(iuifleld. They have been Insisting cyer
since Ihe canvass opened that McKinley
as president would disappoint those who
KXpeet a great era of prosperity to result
from his protection policy, und that 'he
factions and feuds which lie and Koruk.r
have nursed In Ohio will break out axaln
and spilt the nnrty throughout tho country
after the fashion of the stalwarts und tha
helf-hreeds. These forebodings are half
wrong and half right. They are probably
wrong so far ns they predict a failure to
realise the popular hope of tirosperlty. It
is fur more likely tluu with the presidential
election ended It will be McKinlev's luck
to witness nil Industrial reaction that will
make the closing years of thn centurv the
most prosperous that the United States
has ever seen. Hut so far as holding to-
? ret her t he Republican party Is concerned
t will be a miracle If no shall be able to
prevent it from breaking of Us own enor-
r,icu and abnormal weight today, even
1; he rould satisfy all the promises and
Intimations that have been given out on
ut r his name.
With the exception Blsine, McKinley
'.s. undoubtedly, the strongest Republican
among the plain people that has sprung
up since the war. His strength, is, f
course, largely due to his close usaociatLm
with the high protective principle. Slaee
tile repeal of the Missouri compromise
hrnught about the great anti-slavery re
vulsion, tin-re has lu-ver been a politic)
reaction In this country so sweeping and
unexpected us the one which the protec
tionists had tiie goud fortune to eiijiy
u'ter the. panic of That reaction is
still In force today among the multitude,
and AtcKinicy hus beer, its benelleUrv.
Uut tlier if one source of his atrengt
which I thick has beu.i for In - most Wirt
overlooked. He comes nearer to the tviie i
of the "solf-niade" or "homespun" Auier- t
lean r the Kpular pattern of Lincoln
r.tiJ (iarrleid than any of his rivals. Kl--I
i by far ihe nlilesi of them all, but lie
gives .out a sense of superiority which the
nvrrac American distrusts or tears; he
is far belter equipped for the presidency
by education and broad aptitudes l'o!'
rtatf inianshlp than McKinley; but th'-ro
Is a vague idea in the popular mind that
he is too "smart" nnd too loud of his own
way. AlcKinlpy, with his amiable tem
per. his air cf sincerity, his (jontlo Jm
nlty. his simplicity or habit, his ever
ready willingness to work for the partv,
his i lean life, without the bteath of scan,
dal upon it. his rugged boyhood and his
good old mother at the age of 8" hoping
to live long enough to see her lad enter ti e
u nite houce. are some of the things which
have helped io make AlcKlnley akin to
an ideal tlguie in the tycs of the people
who bans up pictures uf the great rail
splitter and the bare-footed tow-path boy
In tnelr little pariors.
There Is another interesting fart worth
noticing In connection with these thoughts.
The odds are always heavily auutust the
presidential candidate who comes from
out of a big city. There has never yet
been a city-burn und city-bred man elect
ed to the presidency. Nearly all the eai.
diJatcs have been picked out from the
ranks of the public men who have bco
brought up In the country, or whose lives
have been associated in large purl with
the farm or with rural populations. Tilden
was the tlrst mini Identltled with a great
city to receive a nomination for the presi
dency; Cleveland and Harrison. Iiorn in
rustic households, afterward drifted to
communities like Buffalo and lndiauapo.
lis; Arthur was the one perfect type of
tha well-bred city man to reach the white
house, although he had the foundation of
a country trulning. He Is also the only
occupant of the office who stepped Into it
out of the ranks of the practical or man
aging politicians. In a country where 47
per cm. of the population is made up of
farmers, where three-fourths .of it live In
small communities, and where popular cul
ture has yet to reach that stage when a
statesman who has passed through a col
lege and who has the manners of a gen
tleman will not be regarded us an upsiact
or a dude. It Is pretty hard to overcome the
kind of sentiment which regards a plain,
good-natured and simple-speaking muti
like McKinley, ns the right lype of Ameri
can manhood. In a contest of wit or
learning or fulness or Information or tho
mastery of men who are men among men,
McKinley would undoubtedly be Inferior
to not only Reed, but either Allison or
Quay. It Is Impossible to llnd anywhere
In McKlnley's record any transaction
which indicates cleverness or brilllaitcy.
But there is very much of the earnestness
of a man who takes life seriously, and
whose strong, yet half-klnrlly face catches
the sympathy of the multitude. It was
this personality that attracted men to him
In the Chicago Auditorium eight years
ago, when he might have had the nomina
tion Instead of Harrison, If ho had not
finally mounted a chair In the convention,
and, with a simple eloquence that came di
rect from his heart, renounced the tempt.i.
tlon which Gartield could not resist; and it
was at Minneapolis again that It t
tractcd Quay, Piatt and the rest of tho
brokm Quay line to McKinley as their
last available hope of a stampede against
Harrison.
