In considering municipal nomina tions tomorrow Republicans should not forcet that the ofUco or city con troller li ono o the most Important In the entire list.

It may be lmposlble In the piesent condition of public opinion to secuie an ntmosphoie of Judicial fairness In which to jllsouss the political methods of thopp who nrc leading tho flKht for Senator Qunj's dffeut; but we Invite those persons who wish to be fair to Klve consld'Miitlon to the follow Ins facts: lively man Is mtitled to be thought lnnoient until proved buIU.

Who .lie tho men foiemost In the man-hunt aRalnft Qua? livery one of them a disappointed ollke-selver, oer Howing with Milcen and malice. Tliete Is absolutely not one exception. Fiom top to bottom the attack on Quay Is the attack ot politician who have been distil untied and enblttered bv political dl'appointments. and whose motles, theicfoie, ate dlitcicdltrd from the begliiiiliip. While It is plain that Senatoi Quay must stand ti till beloie a Jtuy of his peeis, In n com t fuur which the rati chliintloiui ot political nnlmo.slty and peisonal nicjudice have been carefully cscluded, :et what kioss Injustice would it be for ills fi lends, who to a man bellee In his Innocence, to permit the manuf.ictuied clamor of his ene mies to stampede them into desertlncr lrom his suppoit' Who would tespect a turn co.it under llro? Who but a cow aid would stilke colois and lun? Senator Qiinj. as the Republican caucus nominee, des-enes the support of every tegular Republican until such time us he bhall either be victorious over the louspliacy against him or shall of his own luoniptlngr pioffer le lease. It Is noticed thattho lachiymose antl er)ansionlsts who have cast a gloom over the senate dining the past few dajs haven't a word to say In faor of Queen 1.11'h real tstnte claims. Eagnn and Miles. It Is cMiemely doubtful If Conimis- s.uy General Kagar. has Impiovcd his case by calling General Miles several Kinds ol a liar The excitement of tc mper exhibited by General Hasan maj not Indicate guilt but it Is a de cidedly Inadequate leplv to the ety distinct specifications set forth by the ccinmandlng general in his icceiit tes timony befoie tin war Investigation commlsolon. These. It v. Ill be iccalled, Included flcued leporls trom neaily a score of comp'in, battalion, regimen tal and bilgade commanders testify -liig expllclth to the unlit character of niucn of the canned or dies.sed meats supplied to the army both at Santiago and Poi to Rico. Mile may be all the kinds of a bal mail that Genual llagau passionately biiggets, et the establishment of this fact which, by the waj, is as jet nieioly asset ted would not undo thrt misery causrd by unlit tatlons to brave soldleiB battling tot theli countiv un der the broiling bun ot a tioplcal land. Whether Milts Is tt liar or not mav be a point of conslduable Interest to thosi who me load of personalities, but to the countiy In geneial it seems like a minor point In comparison -w ith tho issue which Ins been so plainly talsed as to the anny's lecent food supply What thu countiy demands to Know Is v hither the testimony of so many of Its lutiepld ufllceis who saw duty at the fiont Is tme as to the chancter of much ot the meat- and If tiue, where tho blame belongs. After this point Is detei mined it will be opportune to In vestigate General Miles' character for elttclty. Whether Miles la a liar or not, he la tho mllltaiy head f the army with ono of tho best mllltaiy records be hind him of which the public le In formed. It may be that slnco his filc tion with the war department he has middenly deteriorated, and Is r.ow un lit to retain his present position, but this opinion will not prevail on the uncorroborated strength of Commis sary Oeneial Kagan's heated vitupera tion. Well-meaning legislators will find cold comfort In being recorded on a "roll of honor" that is carried In John Wunamaker'a .e8i pocket. Human Natuie. The 'Philadelphia Press is won led at what; H callB the "threatB" of tho Quay "machine" to inflict vengeance upon paity bolters. &"o fur as Senator Quay pernonally la concerned he has been in a long and stormy political career prei eminently noted for his magnanimity, Whether successful or unsuccessful ho never shows malice. Hut in low of tho extraordinary in. dlctlveuesaand personal venom bhown, by his a,sfallanU' lu, tho pieseut cam paign It is, hatdly to be cxjoted that his fi lends thioughout the common wealth can nil nustoln the forgiving spirit characteristic of the senator him self. It simply Is not within the bounds of fallible human nature. Tho party mini who bolts foi felts tho right to expect regularity from his opponents when ho Is the regular nominee and they aro tho objectors. It Is tt poor rule that doesn't work two w ays. The example presented by some of the prominent stntesmen of other days who are now fighting the administra tion at Washington as nntl-expanslon-lst?. Is another Illustration of the fact that n man can occasionally outlive his usefulne's. Premature. The asset tlon of Senator Fotakcr that the American people contemplate the ultimate Independence of tho Fili pinos is an individual opinion, not an authorltntlvo statement of adminis trative policy. The American people at this time do not contemplato any fixed policy with refeienco to the ul tlmato disposition of this problem for the good and sufficient reason that they have not yet acquired the lnfot mutton icqiiixite to the Intelligent formulation of such a policy. It Is likely to bo jears hence befote they will feel quallUed. to niiHwer this question. Oft-hand opin ions ut present are more or less tldlctl- UlUR. Atufilc.in public opinion has gone no fuither In the direction of solving the Hilllpr'iio problem than to recognize the nectfity of a speedy ratification of the Paris peace ticaty and the mllltaiy occupation of the Philippines by this government for the enforce ment mid pro-u'ivutlon of order pending the determination of the dlfllcult prob lem of their future. A thousand con tingencies may arise to modifv piesent desires on both our part and that ot the natives themselves. Resistance to our tcmpoi at y occupancy compelling us. In defence of our own dignity and of our international obligations, to wage nn expensive military campaign against Agulnaldo and his fellow ad venturers might easily cancel what ever sympathy wo might originally have felt for theFe men and require us as a matter of necessity, to take over the Islands permanently as American teriltoiy, to be protected, defended and policed by the strong arm of tho ffdeial government. The discovery of pi oof of foreign intrigue would lead to a similar lesult. The intoi cession of the Intelligent, property-owning class es for Ameiican protection and rule In stead of the chaotic conditions of un stable native sovereignty a not Im probable contingency would be equally effective In defeating Agulnaldo's vis ional y plan of n Tagai dictatorship with himself as dictator. Invents con nected with our own commercial In terests in Orient might arise which, without any other piomptlng, would force the conversion of temporary Into permanent American control. Tho whole question, In shoit, depends upon conditions which have not yet devel oped, rendering present snap Judgment decidedly prematuie. In the meantime theie Is ample ex ercise for practical American states manship In the formulation of a suit able mechanism for tho suitable dls chaige of this new trust Imposed upon us by the providential sequence of events. It looks as though the Czar of Russia Intends to get something to gether to disarm. The New Sonator from Indiana. The biography of the caucus nominee of the Republican party of Indiana to succeed David S. Turple, Democrat, in tho United States senate, is mighty good leading In these days when pes simists tiy to make the people believe that native ability has no longer the chance that it once had to llse above adverse circumstances. In the Wash ington Pot we tead that: "Albert J. Bevel idge was boin dur ing the civil war, on a fiiim on the bor ders of Highland county, Ohio. Ills father and all his bt others were away at tho war, and at the close of that stiuggle Beverldgo's father lost all his propei ty, and the tamlly moved to Illinois From the ago of twelve Al beit' life was ono of hardship. When twelve ho was a plowbov, at fouiteen lie was woiking as a day laborer on railroad wotU: at fifteen he beenmo a logger and teamster, and by reason of a natural command of men was placed In charge of the lodging camp. Ho went through tho high school by work ing at nights and in the morning, and bol rowed $50 to go to college on He got thiough his first year by worklnjf as a steward of a club, and by the end of the year ho had taken prlze3 In philosophy, science, and ora tory sutllclent to pay two years' ex penses. Ho was compelled to begin college Into each year and quit early in older to go to work. The strain ptoved too much for him, and to. re cover ills health Mr. IJeverldge went west, nnd for some time lived with the cowboys. He then came to Indianapo lis, where he read law In tho ofllco of tho late Senator Joseph K. McDonald. Young Ueverldge lived on two mealg a day while doing go. At the end of the first year he was made managing cletk. After his admission to the bar the cases which came to him vere of great Importance- and his first plead ing befoie a coutt was In the Supreme court." The subsequent career of Mr. Uever ldge la well known to students of poll tics. As an orator he ranks with the best In tho country, possessing not only the natural gift of eloquence In an ex ceptional degree, but also tho Ionic and Intellectual power without which mero oratory is trivial. His address before tho Union Leaguo club of Chi cago on Washington's birthday In 1S93 was one of the great orations of mod em times and tho recent address of Mr. Bevcrldge before tho Pittsburg Uar association on "The Vitality of tha Constitution" has received tho honor of quotation by some of the ablest con stitutional lawyers In tho country. A career of this kind should bo an lnsplr atlon to young men. "Kid" McCoy nnd oiher pugilists of tho hour ought to take a hint from the example of John L. Sullivan, tho (neat est lighter of the nee, John 1,. knew when he had been whipped and readily If not cheerfully acknowledged the fact, A press club convention Is being ar ranged to be held In Baltimore In tho near future. Thif need not cause any apprehension unless It precipitates tho organization of another club In Scran ton In order that Journalism In the Electric city may bo represented. Tho Meanest Man Allvo? It Is generally regarded as unsafe In a newspaper olllco to print the truth about a man who. Is not a candidate for office, but wo would tlsk a Jury trial on the assertion that the public's knowledge ot Russell Sage's treat ment of Clerk haldlaw. It correct, stamps him ns perhaps the meanest man now living. We stand ready to make quick apology, however, If It can be shown that Mr. Sage, unknown to tho public, has privately compensated this unfortunato employe for saving Suite's life by taking upon himself the full effects of the Norcross bomb. The decision of the New York court of appeals reversing the Judgment of the lower court which awarded Lald law $10,000 damages ends any hope which this victim of Sage'B avarice tiny have had of securing redress thiough legal processes. The appellate court holds, In substance, that when a man Is In Imminent peril of his life, as Sago was when confronting that bomb, he is not legally responsible If In an agony of nppiehenslon he seizes hold of the neatest animate or Inani mate body and uses it ns a shield. This may be good law there Is no go ing beyond the final appeal but If It Is, It is the kind of law that lias a wonderful effect In multiplying anar chism and souring the minds ot the poor against the rich. It must bo apparent to any man of ordinary instincts that when Sage used Laidlaw as a bomb-protector he Incur ted an obligation which no honest man would forget. Laidlaw before that oc casion was a vigorous young man In sound health. Today he Is a hopeless cripple for life. The sum of $40,000, which Is pel haps not a thousandth pait of Sage's foitune, Is certainly a bcant repayment for this degree of injury. If Sage has any expectation or desire of heaven we advise him to get out his check-book, war stamp and all, and Immediately settle up. Quesnay do Reaurepalre, who re signed fiom the I'urls court of cassa tion, must be a sort of James Gay Gor don. Geneial Shafter's reticence Is now explained. He is going to tell his story in the Centuiy magazine. NEWS AND COMMENT Sir James Idgar, speaker of the Cana dian houso of commons, is an enthusiast ic expansionist. 'W hlle in Baltimore re cently ho said: "We, in Cunuda, watch with much satisfaction the growth and success of tho United States. That, pei haps, la one reason why our eyes are turned upon you In your present diplo matic controversies. According to my judgment, the United States has acci dentally been thrust Into a sltuatloa which promises to open for her a splen did list of trade opportunities. Let me explain. Tho British empire by thu pos session of a fortified stronghold In China commands a vast bulk ot tiado In that populous country which no other force than tho holding the port could possibly command. This trado with China Is ono of tho most desirable which tho world now offers. The tremendous sweep of territory embruced under tho Chlneso name, covered with a teeming multitude ot people who are destined to becomo large purchasers of tho uiilBlieeJ products fiom civilized markets, presents a most inviting field of trado Into which any progressive nation mleht wish to enter. Tho United States mav have the call in commanding that trade, but If that trado Is to be effective the United States must possess a port almost at the entrance to the Chtneso empire, ono which can ani will bo fortified, ono from which ships of trado and ships ot war can Issue forth for actlvo labors or elao seek refuge in when the occasion requires it It must be a port close to tho Chinese empire, from which the United States can speak with aggressiveness. Your country must be In a position to speak In that lan guage whoso alphabet is figured in ships of war. When you can do that, then u boundless ttado with the Orient will soon becemo for jou a vciltable treas ure house. The accidents of war have given to your country a commanding gateway. If utilized, and utilized to Its fullest possibilities, jour future trading will becomo Immense." Writes John T. McCutcheon, one of tho two American newspaper cories pondents who went through tho naval battle of Manila: "Ono of the Incidents which made America smile was the story that Admiral Dewey withdrew from tho fiay to give his men breakfast. As a matter of fact, that was not tho real reason why ho withdrew, but It was a good story, and had a flavor of humor nbout It that appealed strongly to the people at home. Tha bhlps wero with drawn In order to taKo un account ot the ammunition on hand, a report having come that It was running low, nnd that only fifteen rounds of flvo-lnch shells tor each gut remained. This was an alarm ing pleco of news, but on investigation It proved that It meant there were flftesn rounds tor eacn gun rrom me magazines, but that number did not Include the ereat supply stin below." Tha Cincinnati i:prcss-GazDtto has collected data nncnt the operations of tialn robbers durlnic th past year. Tho effect of federal Jurisdiction upon train robberies is evidenced in Mexico.

Adjutant Geneinl Corbln's paper in the Janutuy Porum is calculated to cot reel popular misconceptions relative to the Kind of men composing tho regular army. Whatever may have been true hi earlier times, General Ccrbln shows that today the sot or bum has not one chaneo In a million of jjettlng Into tho army. That the examination ot applicant has be come mote Jlgld than In former years Is evidenced by tho fact that while S9.B21 ruults were obtained for the regular auay last year, 68.377 applicants were lejccted. Nor Is tho atmy an asylum tor aliens. Although nearly 130,000 men pre sented themselves to tho lecrultlug offi cers last year, only about 0,040 were ull- ens, and the?, of course, were promptly rejected, tho law now requiring that re cruits bo American citizens. Of tho 20,.2t ncccpted applicants, 24,490 were native born Americans, while only 6,031 were of foreign birth, but had becomo thoroughly Americanized and cnjoicd nil the rights of citizens of tho republic. rotter county claims tho lienor of hav Ing the queerest public school In Pennsyl vania. It Is a school with four pupils, all niembets of ono family, the mother of which Is the teacher.

It Is not her fault that there are not other families In tho nclgli borhood with children to bo educated. A lato Investigation of social statistics has put It on record that mnrrlngo along with tho other blessings It brings men, operates most beneficially In lessening nny tendency they may have to crime.

At 8.45 on Thursday night of last week a train arrived ut San Francisco ninety flvo hours out from New York. If any thing can be said to be remarkable In these days of .modern railroading, this feat may be classed under that category. Tho continent was spanned lu one hour less than four days, breaking all previous records by thirteen hours. Not so lonr ago a mile a minute for comparatively short distances was considered wonder ful speed, nnd yet In this flight ncross the country three hundred nnd fifty con wecutlvo miles were coveted In as many minutes, ninety miles were done In sixty minutes, and for stretches tho speed rcacneu a mile In thlrty.flvo seconds. The train was the pioneer of the fast mall which is to duplicate the feat every day In the year under favorable circum stances. o When California. In tho course of our policy of "imperialism" and "expansion," was annexed to the United States the city of San riuneisco was covered with the sand dune unci sago brush. A long tiamp over tho dunes from the water front brought tho pedestrian to the little mission of San Dolores, consisting of the Mission church, a little graveyard and a cluster ot adobe huts. That was tho civilization of San Francisco a3 It then existed. Tho old Mission church and graveyard still rcmnln but tho adobo huts havo fallen before tho steady ad vancement of progress, and cable cars now carry their passengers far beyond the old Mission through solidly built-up streets. Tho gold-seekers of 1S4D were obliged to tramp across the continent, lighting Indians nnd starvation by vho way, or else take the long trip In snil-Ing-vcssels around Cane Horn. Later the Paclllc Mall Steamship company sent Its passengers down tho Atlantic coast to Asplnwall, thence across the Isthmus of Panama by rail, nnd up the Paclllc by connecting steamships. California crew, but there was still upon tho maps tho great American desert populated only bv roving Indians nnd tho bones of dead men. It was not until sev eral vcars after tho War of tho Rebel lion that the great pioneer lallroad sys tem which was to connect the two oceans and open up this vast tract was completed. Thrro wero wise men In con gicss In those duys. In spite of tho out cry against subsidies that terrible word which gives every strict-construction Democrat nervous prostration subsidies were granted, nnd tho railroad was made possible. Subsidy In Its broad scope simply means government nld. Without this government aid many a year must havo passed before private capital could be In duced to take up a proposition which had in It so many elements of failure. It Is true thnt there havo been many scan dals growing out of the Pacific rallroaJs. and It has required many disputes to ar rive at a settlement, but even If the gov crnment had not iccelved a single- cent in return, who will say that tha country has not been benefited a thousandfold? Tho pioneer read was a developor; as it progressed business increased, the waste places wero built up and today the great continent Is traversed by several conti nental lines. The feat of tho mall train In running fiom New York to San Fran cisco In less than four days Is mado pos slblo only because of the subsidies grant ed twenty years ago. o- Just as subsidies were foucht then, they aio fought now, when the great Nlcaraguan canal scheme Is projected and when It Is proposed to build up an American merchant marine. Tho money of tho country has gone into Internal Im provements Capitalists havo Invested In mills and factories, In railroads and roll Ing stock, In electric light, pas and water plants, and havo sent their money to open up the great farming lands of tho west, Becauso of the vast railroad sys tern, wo havo grown until we are now the greatest exporting nation on tho faco ot the earth; but wlillo we have Improved and dovcloped Internally, we have lost our hold upon the ocean carrying trade. It Is not to our credit that nearly all of this great cportlng business Is carried In foreign vessels. o Thero Is splendid opportunity here for Investment of cnpltal, but when tho capit alists tako up tho subject they And great lines of steamships running under for eign flags and which have the benefit of subsidies. They understand that If we nro to compoto with the foreigners we must meet them on their own gtound We. too, must etend government aid. Tho tlmo has como to do It, but the cry of subsidy Is raised In tho land. It Is the samo cry that was heaid against tho Pacific railroad; tho same cry that Is being used against the Nicaragua canal It Is the same spirit that fought tho Louisiana purchase, the acquisition of Florida, and tho annexation of the gieat Mexican territory of tho southwest. "Im perialism" and "subsidy" aro tho two gieat cries of tho opposition to prog ress and enterprise. They nre the walls of thoso who cannot look ahead to tho futuro, and they aro walls that congress must not heed If wo are to maintain our supremacy over other nations. WELL GOTTEN UP.
