Senator Quay gave tho silver move ment until the middle of September to remain danporous In a political sense. If his prophecy wasn't fulfilled on the 13th. It certainly Is on the 2Sth. Retain (iood Servants. Important as ore the national Issues this year It Is well to bear In mind that the Interests at state In local political affairs also deserve consideration. To voting residents of the county is pre sented the question whether or not there shall be a change In the political complexion of the boards of county com missioners and auditors, and In reach ing a decision certain facts deserve to be considered. In tlw first place, under Republican control of these Imanls, the Browing business of the county has been con ducted prudently, efllclently and with economy. Unly the other day the Dem ocratic organ confessed that the com missioners' ofllce had been kept free from serious scandal. This from the opposition Journal Is praise Indeed, but it stated only part of the truth. The Times might also have said that among the counties of Pennsylvania, not one, all things considered, enjoys a better management of Its fiscal affairs than obtains In Lackawanna In obedience to Republican custom ami precedent. We make this assertion and challenge jdenial. In the second place, the cry for a change, except when based on evidence that a change is necessary, W deceptive and should be Ignored. The commis sioners of a county are trustees for its taxpayers. In Lackawanna they han dle each year nearly I20P.00O of the pub lic's money. If they do their duty hon orably and Intelligently, why should precedent be Ignored In order to cut them off with only one t-rm, simply that two political opponents may gain the honors and emoluments of ollice? If It could be shown that the present commissioners have neglected or u bused their positions there would be Borne force to the Democratic demand for a change; but In the absence of Fueh information, and In the face of the Iiemooratic pair's unsolicited testi mony to the efficiency with which these commissioners have done their work, It seems to us that that demand should be passed by. The New Haven Incident of Bryan's Interruption by Yah' students newly il lustrates a serious weakness in our American collegiate system. That sys tem may foster smartness, but to what extent does It contribute to gentility? Mr. Thacher Declines. The decllnaltlon of John Uoyd Thach er ends what little hope the Demo cratic party had of contesting New York. No doubt the vacancy will be filled, In a nominal sense; but clearly no one at present available for sac rificial honors could command the sup port a't the polls which would have come to Mr. Thacher. A scholarly man of wide personal influence, the bosom friend of Senator Hill, John Uoyd Thacher, on the basis of his recent letter Ignoring national issues and put ting the contest wholly on stafte grounds, would have been an antagon ist whom Frank lilack would have had pood reason to fear. ... In a state so large and complex as ' New York there are always disaffect ed elements. The Rain? law made some. The prominence of Thomas C. Piatt In Republican management has made others. A man like Thacher, per sonally rlean, able and respected, could at the head of an aggressive organi sation working to sidetrack the m iney question, do much toward eenvnting these various elements Into a formld ' able revolt. We In Pennsylvania have seen two such movements succeed. The New York situation is more, complicate ed. than those which prevailed here In JKS2 and again In 1SW. and the prob abilities that such a movement would le able t cause New York voters to turn away from national issues this year ore few. Hut the tHWslblllty ex isted, until John Ilwd Thacher on Sat urday extinguished ft, and while It ex isted It bore careful .watching. From now on, however, tlje campaign In New York will be a mere farce. The silver minority cannot In the brief In terval before election brlnsr ordr out of the chaos Into which Thacher's dec lination has plunged the Bryan ticket, and with the state ticket occupying parallel ground Frank, Clack will be likely to have quite a bis; a vote- as McKlnley. That riieans. In other words, that the Republican ticket from tbtf to bo: torn can be considered -safe beyond question, the only dubious point Mngji whether to estimate Its average plur ality as low as 100,000 or as high as 600,000. . The Wllkes-Barre Times is frank, at least. In announcing why it Intends to support John Wanainaker for United States senator it expresses the belief tnat Governor Hastings would prove "a gigantic failure as senator." Are we to Infer from this that the Wanamaker press bureau is about to open UP its batteries of detraction on the common wealth's chief executive? Can John be ao short-sighted as to challenge a com parison of qualifications between him self and Daniel H. Hastings? We won der. . Play In with Fire. It is curious how small circumstances will often unconsciously blag men's opinions on large questions. John Brls l)en Walker was once a newspaper cor respondent at Washington. He went west, entered into profitable real estate and mining speculations in the vicin ity of Denver, and amassed a fortune. Heturnlng to the east, he purchased the Cosmopolitan magazine, adopted with ardor the tenets of what Is known as sclentilic socialism to distinguish it from the Ignorant form of ferment which uses bludgeons and throws bombs and won on eminent place as a man of brains and enterprise. In course. of time the free silver movement arose, and Mr. Walker was one of the few men of liberal Ideas who lent to it the benefit of their approval. Had it not been for his residence in Denver, the probabilities are he would not have done this. Tho fact that he owns prop erty in a territory which would for a time at leaBt experience benefits from free silver does not Justify the conclu sion that he now deliberately advocates the election of Bryan from selfish mo tives. On th contrary, he is undoubt edly sincere and imagines himself dis interested nst well. But the little cir cumstance of his having years ago gone west to Denver instead of east to New York or Boston, or north to Philadel phia, Cleveland or Chicago has quite certainly biased his opinions, whether he realizes It or not. We are led to make the few observa tions by sight of a piece of campaign literature which Mr. Walker has pub lished In aid of Bryan. It consists of a cartoon showing by means of pro portionate human figures that whereas there are 5,000.000 farmers, 4,000,000 me chanics, 3,000,000 men engaged in trans portation, 2,000,000 domestic servants and 400.000 miners in the Vnlted States, there are only 29.000 bankers and brok ers and 4,000 millionaires. The Import of this cartoon Is enforced by tho fol lowing words addressed to the work ingman: "Let him call the rolls of the trusts or the rolls of those who have bought or sold legislation. In or der that special Interests might bo benefited. Lot him call the rolls of those who have controlled financial leg islation, so as to cause eleven great panics, during which 95 per cent, of all business men of the country have fall en In bankruptcy. Let him call the roll of those who would have money Issued by bankers Instead of by the govern ment, the purpose being to divert the Interest paid by the people from the national trensury to their own pockets. Let him call the roll of those who have fought labor unions with words and with bullets. Let him cal the rolls of those who have hired I'lnkerton police, in defiance of the laws of their country. Let him call these - names, and to each name will eome the answer 'Here,' and each time the answer will come from a man who is a leader in this one army. Which army? I do not need to answer. Let the worklngman him self answer." One would not like to accuse a man of Mr. Walker's standing of being a demagogue, but his campaign leaflet comes pretty close to answering denia goglsm's description. What bearing have the facts which he cites upon the question at Issue? Would free coinage abolish banks, close up brokers' offices, end bankruptcy, beat down opposition to labor unions, or put an end to the I'lnkerton detective agency? Would It terminate poverty, abolish coveteous ness, do away with human greed or re sult In a reconstruction of human na ture upon millennial principles? Has It done any of these things In any coun try where the free coinage of silver al ready prevails? Hub it done so in Mexico, In South America, In China or Japan? If not, why try to excite the false expectation that It would do so In tho United States? Is this honest argu ment? Is it the kind of campaigning which Is safe and wholesome In its ten dencies? Doiia It tend to establish business security' and promote a wise observance of law and order? Unquestionably It Is true that a great majority of the bankers, the brokers, and the capitalists of miscellaneous de gree are opposed to Bryan and in favor of sound money. But why? For the same reason that Intelligent working men are also opposed to him namely, because they don't want a business revolution. Some of these capitalists are scamps, but not all. Some are cheats and frauds, who are constantly n the lookout for chances to "do" the community; but the changing by the country of Its monetary standard would not transform their natures nor render them powerless to work future mischief. That being true. Is it net grossly dishonest cm the part of men like Mr. Walker to put before weak and excitable minds statements calcu lated to lend to deceptive conclusions? Is it not a low and unscrupulous form of campaigning, which 'deserves the re buke of all voters capable of appreciat ing the dangers to good government involved In It? t Is Oarman's failure to land Bryan for a speech In Luzerne equivalent to a confession that he, too, has given up tho fight? . ' Simply a Forgery. . - - t Some months ago the PopocratU-papers printed what purported to be a letter written by "J. Francis Porsythe, banker, at No. 11 Wall street. New York,"' to Judge R. C. Bell, of Fox t .Wayne, Ind., in which the labr.rlng people were spoken of as the "lower classes," and In which $1 a day on a gold baeis was declared to be enormous pay. The letter also declared that rice Is nutritious food and that Pie is not good for the "lower classes." It Is not a great matter, perhaps, but In the Interest of ruth It deserves to be said that this letter was a delib erate fake. There is no such person as J. Francis Forsythe ait No. U Wall street or at any other Wall street num ber, nor la such a man known In New York city. The letter was published by order of the Popocratlc campaign managers, in the hope of stirring up caas antagonisms. That is all there is to It Charles Emory Smith has a'story to Illustrate the feeling of sound money Democrats this year. They resemble in mental condition, he thinks, an Indian chief who was found wandering about Niagara Falls. "Are you lost?" asked a white man who met him. The Indian drew himself up with the great dignity of his race, and replied: "Me'ho lost; wigwam lost." However, the republi can wigwam Is in plain view, and Its door stands open. Presidential Quotations. Betting is a poor business under any and every circumstance, but in cam paign years it often serves to Illustrate the drift of public sentiment, and is therefore Interesting. We have before us a circular Issued by a New York firm and giving the quotations of the uporting fraternity on the presidential result. On the general result the odds offered are to 2 to 1 on McKlnley. The "ther odds follow: New 'torn city .. riven money Alabama 2'i to 1 Bryan Arkansas 4 tu 1 t'HlUotniu .. Colorado ...

Wyoming 3 to S . P.rvan McKlnley Bryan McKlnley We realize that these quotations mean very little. They are also sub ject to frequent and marked fluctua tion. Nevertheless the unanimity with which men who wager money on elec tions seem willing this year to hazard their possessions on M?Klnley betok ens at least an earnest belief In his success. It is no argument, but It is an encouraging "straw." Charles Heher Clarke, who hns been for several years one of the ablest American advocates of bimetallism, In correcting a published error us to his Identification with the Bryan cause, says: "I am not In sympathy with Bryan or his opinions. I do not ap prove of the free coinage of silver by the independent action of the govern ment of the United States, and If I should go trailing after Bryan, a free trader, I should have to sacrifice the convictions of my whole lifetime. I Blncerely hope that he may be defeat ed. I Intend to vote for Major Mc Klnley, who Is a thoroughly sound Protectionist and precisely the same kind of a bimetalllst that I am." The position of Mr. Clarke will fully satis fy other intelligent blmetailists, who know that the Joint standard can only be reestablished by concurrent .action of the leading nations. It perhaps la not our business, yet from a party standpoint there can be nothing but regret at the spectacle of a fairly-defeated candidate for the Re publican shrievalty nomination In Phil adelphia listening with apparent tym pathy to the Insidious tempting of men who want to lure him Into an in dependent candidacy. We still credit Alexander Crow with too good Judg ment to accept a rump nomination against James L. Miles. It Is possible that Altgeld will be re elected governor of Illinois. He has a great hold upon the labor vote and the man who is running against him ap pears to be somethlnof a "soft mark." But no well-Informed observer today doubts that Illinois will give McKlnley a plurality of at least KO.000, and as goes Illinois on the presidential Issue so will go the doubtful west. A recent publication of the treasury department conveys the interesting sta tistical Information that while Ir 188.1 the cost of running the federal govern ment was only $2.S0 per capita. It had, by 1892, reached $5.20 and is yet grow ing. The reiterated economy cry by both oartles appears from this showing to be something of an Iridescent bluff. Congressman Bruinm, of Schuylkill county, offers to contribute llOO towad Senator Tillman's campaign experK-s If that blasphemous fire-eater will make another speaking tour of the an thracite coal regions. We bc-lleve that Lackawanna could safely be put d:in for another hundred. Thanks to Weyler, Cuban clgar.i now cost $20 mort a thousand than they did three monlths ago. But we are haepy to say the good old Lancaster county toby can still be had ut the familiar price of five cents a yaid. Young Jesse (irnnt, the general's son who lately flopped to Bryan, explains that his. somersault arose from his am bition to enter the United States senate. Young Jesse at least Is frank. But we fear his hopes are vain. The Wllkes-Barre Record EUggest9 legislation Imposing pffnaltica upon school boards that neglect to furnlh sufficient accommodations for all chil dren of school age. They deserve It. Mr. Bryan says' he Is absolu tely sure of Nebraska. Any man wht Is abso lutely sure of anything In politics must be devoid either of experience or sense. Politics fls Seen v, by th?

Tho editor of The Jersey Jamjar, with that superior wisdom of which every rural-editor Is pos sessed, stood on 'the aubstone in front of his palatial ofllce, letting the cool air per. meate the aforesaid wisdom, when the local photographer passed by ' with his camera, going toward the railroad station. "Ah there!" saluted the editor. "Whence goest?" "I go," returned the photographer, "to take a picture of the next president of the United States." "Of course it will be a picture of the man you want elected," said the editor, who was opposed politically to the photogra pher. "No, sir; it will bo a picture of the next president." The editor was getting rather wrought up. "Will you guarantee It?" he aRked. "I'll put up my check for SVIu that It will b the correct picture," responded tho pho tographer. . The editor scratched his dome of thought. "I'm not very Hush." he said, "but I'll Klve yon on that guarantee Jim) for a cut of the picture to print In my paper." ll looked like a cinch for the editor, and seven men told the photourapher he was a pltimli I Hut: but he drew up u contract for the editor to fiitoi blndlnii him to pay SL'OO for the cut, the photographer guaran teeing It to he correct. Then ho started on for the train. "(let that cut back here In time for Sun day's paper." called the editor. "Ouess not," responded the photogra pher. "There's nothing in this contract ahout when I am to take the picture. I en n't take It until after election, of course, under my guarantee, and you ought to know It." Then the scrap began, and nt last ac counts all of that end or New Jersey W;ts taking sides.

"It's only a question of a year nt most, till we're working overtime coining 'em at all the mints." "That's what I've heard," Mr. deehaw answered without much enthusiasm. "But I've put In s6 much time trying ter see how we're, goln" ter keep them dollars from gcttln' so common thet folks won't want 'em thet I re'ly hate ter git drawed Inter conversation on the suhjeck.

Tho teacher had been asking tho class a few questions as to the identity of tho malachite, the metorlte, the tellurite, nnd others In that category, nnd when she seemed to be about at the end of her string a boy down about the foot of the class stuck his han'j up into the atmosphere. "What is It?" Inulred the pedagogue. "What's hryanlte?" "A hryanlte?" repeated the teacher, plunging at once Into a study of this new one. "Really I never heard of it. Where Is It found?" "All over," and the boy grinned at the Importance Into whic h he had so immedi ately risen, "but mostly In the west." "l'm-er," hesitated the teacher, "have you a specimen?" "No; but I kin git one." "How long will It take you?" "Soon as I kin go out and pick one up; hut I kin tell you so's you'll know Just OS good." "Well, what is it? I'm sure I never heard of n hryanlte before."

Then he said: "Could you enlighten me, major, as to the Identity of the man I did kill?" "Let me see," mused the major, "I ha-1 a near relative who looked like me."

Wilkes-Harre Record: "The report of the three mine Inspectors, appointed by Gov ernor Hastings to make an investigation of the causes leading to the horrible dis aster at the Twin Shaft mine at Plttston contains some suggestions that will at tract attention throughout the anthracite districts. There will probably be more or less difference of opinion among practical mining engineers ns to the value of the suggestions contalm d in the report to pre vent future accidents of a similar nature, which relate principally to the number and manultudo of the pillars that should be left standing. The Inspectors give rea sons in detail in support of their sugges tions, and the governor may attach suf ficient Importance to them to make thm the subject of a recommendation for amendments to thu present mining laws." Philadelphia Press: "The report of tho commission appointed by Governor Hast ings to investigate the Twin Shaft disas ter nt Plttston last June is a very valua ble one. It is likely to lead to Important results. With all the legislation to secure safety In coal mining it Is evident that more Is needed, and the Information oh. talned by this special Investigation will prove of the utmost consequence. The recommendations of this commission will be embodied In a bill to be presented for the consideration of the next legislature, and it is to be honed that whatever act Is passed will be of such a character ns to prove effective. Small attention to exist ing laws is responsible for much of the disaster occurring in the mini's, and it would he useless to add to the mine laws unless provision Is made for rigid execu tion of them and the enforcement of ev ery safesuard."
