Senator Quay's Vindication.
The vncllet n ncdulttnl, returned by
llio Jury In the Qtmv men estcrdny
mornlnK, ni the- nil pifblhlo etdlrt
consistent with tlio evidence. 'flint
evidence showed fiom f-tnrt to llnlsh
the manipulation of political malice
HeeklnK to conduct n political light
thiouRh perversion of the machinery
of the couits. In Instigation and nur
ture, the piosecutlnn w.is political unci
lncllctlve In every phase, nnd yet no
well luul thp plot been lultl mid timed
that not until the leglslaturo had ad
journed could Quuy'H friends get the
facts fairly hefote a jury.
I'ndcr thehe clictiinstanci'P the -piih-tor'rt
appointment by the Roveinor Is
natural and necepsary. It avetts the
cost of a fruitless special pension and
transfers to an Importlal outwde
tribunal the decision upon Quay's
cllKlblllty to ndmis&lnu to the senate.
The senate, It Is ttue, has decided in
recent cases wherein the power of gub
ernatorial appointment war. used after
legislative, falluie to elect that such
appointment was constitutionally In
valid. Hut on prior occasions It had
(lecldfd Just the opposite, so that the
matter Is merely one of majority
opinion nnd bubjeet nt any time to re
versal or modification.
In no cat-e yet passed upon by the
senate weie the circumstances attend
ing the legislative faituie to elect
parallel to those In this case. Hcie
was a hcnatoiial candidate duly in
dorsed in regular caucus by un over
whelming majority of the legislators
of Ills party faith, yet deprived of an
election through the machinations of .1
vindictive minority not only practicing
perfidy In politics but also Humping
up a criminal accusation and holding
it over the eandiilates's head in the
hope of scaling him Into a pui tender.
Surely If ever the sovereign power of
the American senate should be put
forth to Ikid'e malicious persecution
and tlcht a gtos, corspiraey ngain-t

The City's Debt to the Firemen.
In May, lasting fiom the Sth to the
27th ila.vs Inelut-lve. the firemen of
Sc rar.ton w 111 hold a fair In the At tnorv,
fur the pin pose of raising a 310,000 eli
te i talninent fund to be used duilng the
State riiemon's convention In tills city,
Oct. ."-7. The coining of this comon
tlon to Suuuton w ill be of enotmous
advantage to Seianton, advertising Its
hospitality, its enterptlso and Its mani
fold advantages thioughottt the length
and lncadth of the commonwealth. The
city owes it to Itself, us well as to Its
lltemen, to entertain the firemen of
Pennsylvania properly and to send
them home with happy recollections of
the Klcctrlc city.
The occurrences of Thursday In the
Board of Ttado building and on Lacka
wanna avenue illusttated vividly the
rommunlty's Indebtedness to the volun
teer Scranton Tire department. The
Board of Trade fire showed Its prompt
ness in responding to the signal of
danger. The Lackawanna, avenue lire
Hhovvcd Its fearlessness In the face of
danger and the splendid efficiency with
which It does Its work despite difficult
obstacles. There were volunteer as
well as paid firemen on Thutsday even
ing who took as Imminent risks to life
ns were ever taken on any battle field
and who fought as bt.wely against the
futlous Hamcs as soldlets ever fought
under an enemy's guns. For this mag
nificent heroism and piactlcal service
the volunteers iccelved not one cent
of pay and lost, we are Iniormed, mote
thnn $400 worth of petsonal clothing
Into the bargain. Had It not been for
their superb efforts the pioperty lo-s
would have been not $70,000 or theie
abouts, but five, peihaps ten times that
putn, with possibly loss of llfu lit addition.
Tito community should begin to
realize whut It owes to the volimten
lltemen. It Is a shame and a ilKgtnio
that the city does not pay for this sei
vice directly by icorganUIng the de
paitntcnt on a liheial tcgulur basis.
Theie Is, we believe, no other city of
Srranton's magnitude In the wot Id
which compels most of its firemen to do
such hazardous yet necessity duty as
this without paying them for time and
work. Tito question of a paid depait
ment must lie kept before the people
until it Is auswuied by them equitably
and In the spit It of practical enter
prise. In the meantime, the Fiii men's I'.xlr
opens a wr.y tu tlio Inimedlato mani
festation of the community's sense of
oWI-ratlon to the Miluuleoi service. We
aro infotmed by the general manager
of the talr, .Mr O. 11. Maeejulvey. that
It Is the Intention of the firemen to
ask tha men hunts and latgu piopnty
ovvnei uf the city to ine'-ent to tho
fair management m tides of valun
which can be disposed of dining tho

The acceptance1 by the postmaster
gcneuil and the conditional acceptance
by the piesldent of the I'nltcd States
of an Invitation to visit Seianton dur
ing the convention heie of the Na
tional Litter Curlers' association,
taken In conjunction vvlth the fact
that duilng that convention thousands
of visitor of less distinguished not-'
will i e heie from all parts of the United
States, suggest the Inquiry whether
this notnble visitation Is to be made
to tide or parade over our abominable,
pot-holy asphalted stteets. Unless
the( streets shall be tepalred lu the
meantime, the imptession which they
will make upon tho visltots on that
occasion will be sutllclcnt to counter
act much of the favor excited by
Seianton hospitality, be that us gen
et otts as It may.
Net October the firemen of Pennsyl
Minla aie to convene In Scranton They
will not onlj come heie In person but
they will ptobablj btlng heio some of
the cqtilppage used at home. To the
good fiteman his companj's engine,
hose ttuck or hook nnd ladder wagon
is an object of neat nnd dear solici
tude. To compel the visiting fire com
panies to parade ovet the principal
streets of Scranton in their present
disintegrated and dangerous condition
would be Inhumane; but to compel
them to ilsl: the safety of any of their
lire-fighting nppuratus upon these
tteetn would be to Insult them in a.
place of peculiar susceptibility. The
vNltlng firemen would lie justified In
declining to patudt over Tranklln,
Penn, Wjomlng, AVashlngton and
Adams avenues or over Spruce and
Linden streets If by October next these
stieets should not have been put Into
unable condition.
The people of Scranton may be In
different to their own welfare. They
may be willing to wear out good hoise
llish needlessly on pavements which
would (lNgiacc a village in the back

Biyan on an Income Tax.
Mr. Utv-in's aseition In arguing for
an income tax, that "this country can
place its citizens befoto an enemy's
guns but cannot put its linger on ac
cumulated wealth," does nut be tr ex
amination. The countty has only dmc
put Its citizens hetcuo nn enemy's guns
against their will, that K by const tlp

ful Americans of this century, or of

o
An Individual so interesting as the
statesman who has Just now exiled
himself voluntarily ft out polities will
continue to be an Inteiesting object
nnd subject, even when Immuted In
one of the vast office buildings nt tho
lower end ot .Manhattan island. Of
fice bo.vs and mahogany tailings will
net entltely seclude Counsellor Peed
fiom public obst-ivutlon. We shall
know what he Is doing and how he Is
piospering, and we shall hear trout
time tu time what he Is saying" yet
it is none the less ttue that by his
sudden tetiieinent fiom the conspicu
ous isolation ot high public otllo In
to the wlili 1 and contusion of the
inetiopolitnn system and the compata
tlve ohscuilt of ciowdid ptofessloual
lite, .in Peed, though happily et
living, invites retnatks somewhat in
the ubituaty spit It.
Mr. Peed was not the speaker of
the house of lepiesentutlves when
he decided to quit. He ceased to be
speaker seven weeks ago, when the
Fift.v -fifth eongiess expired. Tech
nically he was merely a member of
the Fifty-sixth congress from the
Flist dlsttlet of Maine, but was suie
to be chosen as speaker next Deeem
bui, provided he stood for re-election.
The ofilce which he Is about to lelin
qttisli, therefore. Is that descilbed by
himself verv iceently as the most Im
poitnui and desirable in the nation,
baiting tlio ptesidency alone ins
toileal precedents tor a tenuneiatlou
of this magnitude aie bv no means
so numetous as to tender the ttans
uetlun commonplace Oeatn and de
feat are oidinaiily the only agents
powettul enough to compel the sur
icnder which tae Hon. Thomas IS.
Peed has made of his own aceutd.
Three dlflercnt explanations of his
lelltement have been current, and It
may not be Impel tlnenl to consider
them all In a fi loudly way. The lirst
theory ieg.il ds Mr. Peed as a thot
oughly acidulated man, ells ippolnted
by his failure in lO to attain tho
goal of American statesmanship's legi
timate ambition, unable to perceive in
tlie Immediate future or within the
limit of his tiKtuial expectation of life
my prospect of brighter ikies, out of
soits with the i null oiling element in
Ills own patt, and disgusted with
public life because he sees nothing
fin titer lu It foi himself. What a
gluoni.v pletuie this would be If It
weie tine' What a dbmat ending to
a c.iiier chock full of ttiumphs un 1
tun! We lejeet it unhesitatingly, in
asmuch as we know that the Hon.
Thomas I! Peed is a philosopher, and
a philosopher of his own pattlcular
school never lays himself down in
tho dust of the highway and howls
while his tlvals go struggling cheeilly
on.
o
The sicutid explanation Is moie te-
specttul to Mi. Peed. It represents
him as painfull;, conscious that his
views concerning the linger questions
now Identified vvlth Pepubllcan pol
icy, such as expansion In geneinl, and
tho maintenance of the Ametlcun flag
over remote teirltoiy which the flag
now covers, aie so hopelessly ut var
iance vvlth tin ptevalling sentiment
of tlio paity that his presence at a
post uf high responsibility and power
Is anomalous. He cannot alter or
modify his attitude, for his opinions
weie loo conscientiously funned, and
have been too sluieiely entoi tallied
and positively avowed In his nuiga
ainu vvjitlngs and elsewheio to admit
of subut dilution now. He cannot
i emulu In tho speaker's chair In con
gress iis a meio obstructionist, either
with justice tei his party or with com
foit for himself. Ho has, therefore,
decided that If the empire cannot
wait, he, Peed, can and will stand
aside! for tho piesent at least. This
theoiy, we must aud, Is very compli
mentary to tho statesman from Mulne.
for It assumes on his pint a manly
iidheience to pilnclplo nnd conviction,
und un ability to ilse supetlor it
the ulluniments of ,ilgh public station
anil olticlal power.
The Mill el explanation Is that -ir.
Peed Is Influenced by no political iim
eldcratlous whatever, but simply has
made up his mind that the time has
come, lu Justice to his family nnd him
self, to devote his energies to the ac
cumulation of that fottunc which Is
easily within the reach of his un
common abilities. The circumstance
that the e-speaker Is not yet u itch
man Is to his honor. Peset for ears
with opportunities lot" sudden Incre
ments of fottune, unearned .or earned
only nt the cost of self-iespect, he
has chosen to lemnln a comparatively
poor man. ' Now. In his sixtieth yenr.
he Is going to work vvlth the cneigy
of a youngster to make his pile; and
good luck to him'
o
Any one ot these theories of Mr,
Peed's tetiieinent fiom public life Is
sufficient to account for the decision
on his pait which has been iccelved
by tho people vvlth some surprise nnd
inuny expiessions of regiet. Again,
more thnn one of the three exulaua
tlutis may be partially true Mr. Peed
was toported yesterday us declining
to discuss the subject on the gtoutul
that he had "no Interest In the pub
lie" The sentiment Is cettulnly not
i rclpiocntcd. The public has always
hud a gtcat Interest In Mr. Peed ever
since his plctutesque Individuality
emerged from the common ciowd and
became conspicuous In national af
fairs. Ills very Independence of chnt
ncter, manifested on so many notable
occasions, and often In a manner cal
culated to piovoke or to exasperate,
his won him admlrcis and hc. their
admitalion. Unteiillled, unconven
tional, genial, dictatorial, obstinate as
a mule und yet as kind ns an old nc
gto mummy, ulwas teady to sacrifice
a material advantage for the sake of
nn epigram, aiming shafts of sat
easm tight and left, sajlng "no" with
haish emphasis often when his heait
felt "es," the most eminent of speak
ers has gone stiaight on In his own
course, through sunshine and stoim,
milking friends of the very men whom
he ran Into and upset. Pet haps no
other aggressive Aiiietican statesman
ever provoked so much personal op
position and nt tho same tune netted
so few real enemies.

Fiom the New York Sun.
The MuSHirhtiKctts triintc Is la.vlng a
rash hand upon the sac i eel language of
tho low, and would prune It of some ot
that utelereil luxuthiiuo of expression
which Is ono of its charms. Thus, for tho
time-honored "give, grant, but gain, sell
and convey," the Iconoclasts would sub
stitute the paltry and bloodless "grant";
for "convey, rcmln, lelease and forever
quit claim" u miserable naked "release"
or "quit claim " Is this a fair way ot
treating tlio nuijcstv of tho livv? Shall
tho good old curled periwig be plucked
off and tho bnro poll exposed to grinning
laymen? We suspect that a large part of
the force of law and ot the public respect
for It Is duo to the magical mid lulling
repetitions and surplusages In It, to the
linmemoml droning of olel clitstj convey
ances still boilug but lntpicslng tho
world. Why slmpllfv a business which
'generations of wot thy and Ingenious
gentlemen havo devoted themselves to
making complex? Why brush out the
cobwebs anil whitewash tlio old worm
eaten wainscoting? Peslelcs, law is a lux
ury, and the man who buvs it is entitled
to bis money's worth without the loss
of a single "hereinbefore" And tltcie Is
no doubt that ovcibody feels seciotlv
In his soul that a legal document Is more
binding If It Is well stuffed with sno
nyms and seems to leave no era nnv open
to chance. Hut since paper and printed
forms look the place of parchment and
good clerkly scrlvrnlnu, the temptation
to meddle with the vv filth of legal lang
uage has been too groat.
