SCKANTON, JANUARY 20, 1897.
It begins to look very much us If
Secretary Olney litul bluffed nil the
light out of the United States selinte.
, .
Senator Penrose.
The new HPimtor from Pennsylvania
will ko to Washington facing one of
the brlBhtcst. prospects that ever Kieet -ed
an Amerh'un legislator, ile will enter
the senntu at an age offering the jiinm
lse of more than thirty years of active
usefulness, yet already equipped with
twelve years of valuable experience
Kulned nt the capltol of bis native state,
lie will have at his command one of the
most compact and Inlluentlnl political
organizations known to American poli
tics, supplemented by the counsel of a
colleague without n superior as a man
ager of men. Ills Introduction to the
lnrger Held which he Is about to enter
has been accomplished with a sulllelent
regard for dramatic effect to attract
to his Interesting personality the
amount of public attention necessary
to give him u favorable start. In fact
no preliminary Is lacking to a most pro
pitious beginning; nnil as a further
stimulus to high endeavor he has before
him the knowledge that a considerable
element among his constituency, view
ing him In the light of mlsiepresenta
tlon, will watch with intentness for
things to criticize.
"We believe that Holes Penrose will
prove equal to his opportunity. This
belief rests largely upon the demon
stration which he has already given of
his ability to face discomfiture, rise
above detraction and wrest victory out
of seeming defeat. Hitherto Mr. Pen
rose's Intellectual dimensions and
strong force of character have been
more or less obscured in the smoke and
fog of factional conlllct. That conflict
has not been without value to hlm. It
has stilled u natural tendency to Indo
lence, given spur to natutal talents at
one time seemingly threatened with
rust, and taught the young man that In
cessant vigilance, coupled nt times with
desperate battle, is the price uf political
supiemncy. Penrose has been broad
ened and strengthened by adversity.
The common belief was never mote er
roneous than when It ascribed ills vic
tory over WannmaUcr to the grace of
Quay. It was, Indeed. Quay who shaped
the final portion of the contest: but it
was Penrose's own Indefatigable pel -tinaclty.
Indomitable will and the power
of inspiring lieioic fi'endship that sln-gle-hand"d
laid the foundations of the
success of his candidacy. He even more
than Quay was from the beginning the
master of the situation.
Hut now the dominating and relent
less head of a imrtisan faction must
assume the place of a. servant in high
position of the whole state. It were Idle
to expect hlm to discard the means by
which he hns risen to his new emi
nence, nor Is ingratitude nmong the ac
cusations against him; but while hold
ing fast to the friends who were in
stiuggle tested, Senator Penrose will
doubtless appreciate the wisdom of
broadening the plane of his future op
erations to fit the future's enlarged ne
cessities. It will now bo us the sen
ator and not as the factionallst
that he will have to Identify him
self before the people. In the
lute of his predecessor, Senator
Cameron, he will perceive a vivid illus
tration of the unwisdom of excluslve
ness and of the peril of assuming to set
personal prejudice before manifest pub
lic opinion. Mr. Penrose hns it within
his power, without any real sacrifice of
personal Independence, to become as
popular a senatoi as Mr. Cameron has
proved an unpopular one. The condi
tions are wholly in his favor. Youth,
vigor, ability, pride, personal presence,
political fortification, all supplement
and reinforce strong natural ambition.
We do not see bow, under these circum
stances. Senator Penrose cun possibly
fall to acquit himself with credit to
himself and to his state.
Denial is made by Senator Andrews
of the report that he Is desirous of be
coming state chairman. He probably
recognizes that it is a sour grapes case.
Pennsylvania and the Cabinet.
It did not need Senator Quay's as
surance to convince unprejudiced men
that his visit to Canton was not for
the purpose of circumscribing the
president-elect's choice of a cabinet. A
president's cabinet is peculiarly a mat
ter for his personal selection. He is
responsible to no man for Its compo
sition, and Senator Quay, even if he
had the disposition, to Interfere, would
be the first to recognize the practical
futility as well as the political danger
of an attempted Interference. As one
of the prominent leaders of his party
nnd ns the responsible manager, under
Chairman Hanna, of McKlnley's east
ern campaign, ho was in a position
without Impropriety to offer to the
president-elect for his consideration the
name of a Pennsylvanlun in a cabinet
connection; but to infer that such a
suggestion carried with It an Implied
menace of possible opposition in the
event of its not receiving favorable at
tention Is to ascrlbo to a man of es
tablished magnanimity the petulance of
a child.
The report that the name thus men
tioned to Major MeKlnley was that of
Governor Hastings, while not to our
knowledge authenticated, Is wholly
credible. It Is known that Senator
Quay would gladly do what lies within
his power to bring new recognition to
Pennsylvania's chief executive; and It
Is also known that the president-elect
is numbered among Governor Hast
ings' warmest admirers. For aught we
know, the latter's name may havo been
under consideration prior to the visit
to Canton of our two senators; the ru
mors that the' Pennsylvanlan whom
Major MeKlnley had in mind wns Mr,
Smith instead rests so fur as we know
wholly upon guess-work, Mr. Smith
himself says lie does not know any
thing about It, and from Canton noth
ing authoritative has come.
liut if cabinet honors should come to
Mr. Smith Instend of to the Governor,
we cannot see that it would have any
particular bearing on the polltlcnl
situation In this state. The ptesldent's
cabinet represents simply his personal
preferences; his attitude In matters of
factional dispute is Indicated In his
other appointments. Senator Quay, wo
are sute, would be among the first to
move for Mr. Smith's confirmation
should his nomination reach the sen
ale, nor would he havo any need tti
fear that such an action would at any
future tltno recoil upon hlm. The fit
ness of either Mr. Smith or Governor
Hastings for a seat In the next cabinet
council Is indisputable. Either would
creditably represent the whole com
monwealth nnd bring strength to the
president's administration. It is whol
ly a matter for the president-elect's
own determination, and should he take
either or neither, we feel sure that his
wishes will command the most cordial
respect not only of Senators Quay and
Penrose, but also of nil their friends.
The cordial admission by the state
press, representing all shades of poli
tical belief, that State Superintendent
Schaeffer merits a reappointment pre
'sents gratifying evidence that partls
nnlsm In educational matters Is on the
decline. May it speedily disappear en
tirely. The Pure Pood Problem.
The decision by Judge Hemphill, of
Chester county, that the present pure
food law Is unconstitutional confirms
a- suspicion previously very general
muling laymen. Excellent In Intent,
the law was grossly defective In detail
and opened the door as often to perse
cution as to Justifiable prosecution. One
of Its worst features was that It made
the retail dealer liable to arrest for
selling u lotten egg or a pound of adul
terated coffee, although in both In
stances he might be entirely the vic
tim of nilsrepieseutatlon. The fact
that It drew no line between innocence
and guilt on the part of retailers and
threw Insulllclent responsibility on the
first parties In fraud the manufactur
ers who adulterate food at the factory
or mill condemned It as inequltnble
even before the court branded it as
also out of harmony with the constitu
tion. Now that this whole subject will
come again before the legislature It
may not be amiss to point out how this
problem of food adulteration is treated
In certain European couutiles. In
France, for instance, the law reads;
"Those who shall sell or expose for sale
food substances or commodities or
medicijies which they slinll know to
be adulterated or spoiled" shall be ad
judged guilty. Instead of relying upon
convictions, just or unjust, to deter
adulteration, they have in Paris a care
fully evolved1 system, embracing a
laboratory of chemistry in connection
with the department of police, a part
of the woik of which is to analyze free
of cost samples furnished by citizens.
Thus, in the words of a writer who
has made cnieful study of the subject,
"the rights of trades people are care
fully guarded, and intelligence and ad
vanced thought nie brought to play
rather than careless and brutal snap
methods, having the securing of con
victions Instead of justice mainly in
view." In Clernihny carelessness In the
preparation or handling of food pro
ducts Is punishable equally with de
liberate guilt, and in England the law
provides that no conviction is to take
place if the person accused did not
know of the unwholesomeness of the
article of food or drug sold by him and
could not with reasonable diligence
have obtained that knowledge.
The difficulties in way of an adjust
ment of the law which, while being
ndequato for the punishment of all
dealers who deliberately Impose Im
pure articles on the public, will yet fall
short of being a possible Instrument of
oppression In the hands of enemies, are
many. It Is not strange that the first
effort of the legislature to solve so
complicated a problem should result
disastrously. The second attempt will
profit by experience and doubtless
achieve success.
The report from Canton that Major
MeKlnley will proffer ex-President
Harrison the ambassadorship to the
court of St. James lack confirmation
but is plausible. General Harrison hns
announced his wish and purpose to re
main In private life; but In view of
the exceptional usefulness to which his
talents could be directed In the fore
most diplomatic mission of his coun
try nt a time when negotiations affect
ing the whole future of civilization are
pending, it is possible that ho would
reconsider. Under present circum
stances the embassy to England
amounts to a trust of first Importance;
and there would be manifest appro
priateness in selecting for It the man
who shares with the president-elect the
highest respect of his party ind his
country.
John Sherman's Foreign Policy.
It is recalled that In 1SS7, after a visit
to Cuba, Senator Sherman said:
I don't think we want Cuba as nn ap
pendage of thu United States. I would
not favor annexation. In spite of the
drainB upon her, Cuba is enurmously rich
In resources, and is a large consumer ot
our products, on which at present the
heavy Spanish duties rest. Whut I would
favor would bu a reciprocity treaty with'
Spain, as to Cuba, so that we might send
our goods there, Instead ot forcing the
Cubans to buy of 'England, France and
Germany. Wc could do the Island much
more good by trading with her on an equal
basis than wo ever can by annexing he".
In his recently published book of me
moirs occur certain passages which
further tend to foreshadow his prob
able attitude as secretary of state. One
relates to a speech made by him in USC,
in which he armied for the annexation
of Canadu. The Memoirs say of this:
This was my opinion then, but further
rellectlon convinces nut that the annex
utlou of Canada to the United States pre
sents se;lous dlllicultles, and thut the ben
policy for the other English speuklng
countries Is that Canudu should constitute
an Independent republic founded upun
the model of the United States, with one
central government, and provinces con
verted Into states with limited powers tor
local government. The United States ul
ready embraces so vust a country, divided
into forty-four stutes and four territories,
exclusive of Alaska and the Indian torii
tory. that any addition to Jhe number of
stutes would tend to weaken the system,
und the conversion of thu piovince ot
Canadu Into states of our Union would in
troduce now elements of discord, while
with Cunuda us uu independent and
friendly republic we could, by treutlcs or
concurrent legislation, secure to each
the benefits of free trade nnd Intercourse
with the other, and without the danger
of weakening the t'nlted States.
The same Idea, more fully and elo
quently developed, pervades the clos
ing parngrnph of his Itecollectlons,
which follows:
Tlio events of the future are beyond the
vision of mankind, but 1 hope thnt our
people will be content with inturnnt
growth, and avoid the complications of
foreign acquisitions. Our family of stntts
Is already largo enough to create em
barrassment In the senate, and a republic
should not hold dependent provinces or
possessions. Every new acquisition will
create embarrassments. Canada ,itul
'.Mexico as Independent republics will be
moro valuable to tlio united States than u
carved Into additional states. The Vmon
abeaily embraces discordant elements
without adding others. If my life Is pro
longed 1 will do all I can to add to tlio
strength and prosperity of the Putted
States, but nothing to extend Its limits
or to nild new dangeis by acquisition of
foreign territory.
It would be possible by other quota
tions to show that the coming secretary
of state, while not n "Jingo" as the
word is commonly used, Is nevertheless
a man of robust and assertive patriot
ism, indignant at tyranny and outrage,
proud of Aincrlcnn Institutions and of
the emblems thereof, and ready to
speak or act with emphasis whenever
necessary for the protection of legiti
mate American interests; but such quo
tations nre not necessary. Upon this
point public opinion is already at ease.
We suspect that Senator Sherman In
the matter of annexation Is more con
servative than aru the majority of his
countrymen, but that, after all. Is at
this time relatively a small matter. The
I'nlted States want no new territory If
It has to be won by force or enter the
Union reluctantly. When requests for
admission shall be made. It will bo time
to consider theili on their merits.
l.lfe doubtless never before presented
so bright an outlook to the Hon. C. C.
Kauffman, senator from Lancaster
county, as It has since the organization
of the Wannmaker syndicate's war on
Quay afforded hlm an opportunity to
become genuinely prominent. Senator
Kauffinnr. is Improving the passing
hours in a manner which does credit
to his Industry.
An Auspicious Occasion.
Many of tho churches hi this city will
give up their usual services this even
ing in order to attend the Inter-de-nonilniitlonn!
rally in the Elm Park
church.
The subject to be discussed is one
upon which there ought to be no dif
ference of opinion among Christians,
and It is very pleasant to have the op
portunity which such a gathering of
fers to say: "Heboid how good and
pleasant It Is for brethren to dwell to
gether In unity."
One tiling Is certain, the principal
speaker, Dr. A. T. Pierson, will do the
great subject justice.
Amendment of the Anglo-American
peace treaty by the senate may be
necessary In minor particulars. No
one has argued against that, provided
careful examination shall prove the
need of it. Hut amendment is one
thing and rejection Is quite another.
We will not believe that this splendid
opportunity to advance the higher In
terests of civilization will be permit
ted to lapse because of senatorial pre
judices. A permanent census is quite ns ne
cessary as a permanent treasury.
Where so much depends upon statistics
as does In a government like the United
States, no effort should be spared to
get prompt and accurate statistics.
It Is a noteworthy fact that tho pros
pective appointment of General ltussell
A. Alger us secretary of war meets
with the unanimous approval of the
Michigan delegation in congress. They
ought to know tho 'man.
And now France is reported to be de
si! ous of negotiating an arbitration
treaty with the United States. A good
example Is always sure to bear good
fruit.
Senator Quay now ceases to be the
junior senator.
Jttsf a Word or Tu)o
of Castial Mention
The Lolly children of this city, John and
Nell, are creating a sensation in Philadel
phia amusement circles by their clever
dancing and violin playing. They are
mere mites of humanity, but are very tal
ented and have for the last two 'years
been the leading attractions of numerous
local entertainments. A year ago lust
spring they appeared with Klaw & Kr
langei's "Urownieo" company at the
Frothlngham for one performance and
were such an udditlon to the special feat
ures of the company that the management
endeavored to at once close a contract
with their father for their services for
the remainder of the season. He declined
the offer on account of tho extreme youth
of the boys. They are now appearing Pt
the HIJou theater In Philadelphia and the
newspapers of that city are quite enthu
siastic over their work. The children re
side with their parents on Phelps street.
They are grand nephews of .Michael Dj
vltt. the father of the Iilsh Land League.

HASTINGS AND THE CABINET.
From the Altoona Tribune.
Humor says that Senator Quay spoke
to President-elect MeKlnley Inst Satur
day concerning the expediency of recog
nizing the banner Hepublleiin state by a
cabinet appointment, a very Judicious
and sensible suggestion. It Is likewise
said that the senator strongly urged tho
claims of Governor Hnqtlngs. We do
not know that the governor hns any am
bitious In that dlieetion. Hut If he has
.Major MeKlnley could select no other
Pennsylvanlan who is more deserving or
whose appointment would give more
general satisfaction. A state of the
wealth and Impoitance ot Pennsylvania
deserves some recognition, aside from
the unprecedented majority It gave the
president-elect. Governor Hastings rep
icsents the whole party and not a faction,
nnd has honorably discharged every duly
that has confronted him. It chosen as
the representative of this great Uepubll
ean commonwealth In the coming cabi
net he will measure up to his opportuni
ties. Would .llul.c n Good One.
From the Syracuse, N. Y.. Post.
Governor Hastings has had a brilliant
caieer In Pennsylvania politics. Elht
years ago he was adjutant general of the
state. He first came into national promi
nence when he made one of the nominat
ing speeches at tlio Chicago convention
In !!&?. A little later his prompt, elllclent
and faithful seivlce In command of the
troops and the relief woik at the Johns
town flood made hlm veiy popular
through the state. In due lime he was
elected governor and he has Idled the po
sition so far with dignity and general ac
ceptability. He is a large, handsome
looking man nnd would muke a very Im
posing cabinet olllcer, having the martial
air of u llrst class secretary of war.
I'ISCATOKIAI, EXPLOITS.
From the Nicholson Examiner.
Here are two good Ilsh stories: A cer
tain noted fisherman ot this place said
Hint he was at one time watching an
eel-rack near Plercevllie one night with
a lot of other boys. It was the custom
In those days for the person who re
moved the eels to select the best outs
and keep them himself. The night ot the
story tho ells were running thick, and
the teller of the story was taking the
llsh from the rack, and when he found
a nice one, be would stuff It In the lining
of his coat. When lie got homo he emptied
his coat, and lie found he had luO eels, the
smallest one weighing live pounds. A man
standing by said he knew that there were
big eels down there, for lie had seen them.
One night he was watching the same
lack", when he saw a monstrous eel go
over it. As It passed lie jumped upon Us
neck and rode there until he reached a
place within a couple miles of Tunkhan.
nock, and neaily eight miles from the
starting point. At the time lie got off the
eel It was half-past two. When he got
back to where he started he asked tho
boys what time the tall of the eel went
through, and they said at hair-past three.
You can judge for yourself as to the truth
or these stories.
KESTKAIXT UPON HLACIOI.UL.
From the Philadelphia Times.
When It Is remembered that two-thirds
or the llbe! suits for damages are purely
speculative, most of thin insplied by law
yers who expect to receive the bulk of
the amount recovered for dameges, and
when It Is remembered, also, that the
newspapers of this country nre now tax
ed not less than $UOD,000 a year to defend
civil actions for damages in which there
Is no recovery, the necessity for some
restraint upon frivolous libel suits may be
justly appreciated. We can conceive no
more just method than to permit the
courts in their discretion to require ad
vance security for costs In all actions
which am not clearly warranted by the
circumstances connected with the case.
All such actions are merely a blucKTnail
gamble at the cost of Journalism.
ONLY ONE QUAY.
N. E. Ilause in Hawley Times.
There are hundreds of men in this state,
apparently better fitted to lead than Quay,
so far as appearances Indicate, but there
Is but one Quay. Alert, shrewd, sagaci
ous, experienced, courageous, swift to
take advantage of his opponents' errors,
constantly springing surprises, though
never surprised or caught napping him
self, this matchless leader and silent man
can bo written down as the peer of any
political leader.
one or the very iiest.
