To a man who Is not a rharisee In politics there Is something Intensely humorous In highly moral crusades against so-called "hosslsm" led by men who have every characteristic of the bo?slest boss except the power to keep together a following which can long he bossed by them. Patriotism," said Talleyrand, "Is the last refuge ot a peoundrel;" and It is very apparent to day that the loudest howls against po litical bosslsin roine from men who have either been bosses themselves nnd been overthrown or else from other men anxious to down the reigning boss so that they may reign in his stead. Scan the list In nation, state, county and city and you will find no excep tion to this rule. The "boss" Is simply objected to because ho is on top; let him be tumbled over and he In turn joins In the nntl-boss chorus, seeking the wreaking of vengeance upon his successor. We do not doubt that nmong the people opposed to Quay are many con scientious nnd unselfish men, who sin cerely believe that Quay is as bad as he Is painted and that ability to abuse Quay is equivalent to high qualifica tion for public olllee, none other being quite so necessary. These men are respectable although their practical in telligence Is none too great. lint among the howlers against Quay are certain others who do not command any respect whatever, because they are hypocrites, takers and mercenaries into the bargain. To this class belong those men, some of whom reside in this com munity, who have been content to cringe to Quay nnd laud him to the heavens when Quay had offices to give out, but who were no sooner omitted from Quay's list of favorites than they turned their batteries of mud upon him and rushed to take the lead in a con certed attempt at his political cruci fixion. Men like these in the vest ments of reform are like imps of per dition in halos and wings. They give honest men n pain. Another class of Quay-haters are al most as wearisome although they may be more sincere. We refer to the little bosses like Kohlsaat of Chicago, for example, who are always to be found In the front rank when there is any political fixing up to be done, eager and palpitant in their quest of political power, yet who nevertheless hold It to be very wrong for men like Quay to do such things, because Quay rarely la on their side. They adore Uanna. be cause Hanna is in the sacred circle; but they cannot tolerate in Quay the tricks and traits which make Uanna nnd his click a Joy forever. AVe do not dare to doubt that these critics of Quayism are sinceie, but they certainly are mentally lop-sided. If they were not. they would cease to claim a mon opoly of virtue and cleanliness which It is notorious they do not possess and cannot hope to acquire. As for men like John Wanamaker, their time should have been in the period when professional assassins were hired out by the job or by the day. There Is talk among the "Insurgents" of abandoning the prosecution of the men accused of bribery by the Fow anti-Quay probing committee. To drop these charges now would be to confess that they were not made In good faith but were part of the general aim-Quay conspiracy. The accused should de mand it trial In the courts. No Reformation in Mob Law. The suggestion of a rural police sys Um as a means of dealing with crimes against the person, which seem to be increasing In certain rur.il district-, notably in the South, would have lit tle preventive value, since no prac ticable scheme of patrol covering large areas could hope to give effective pro tcetion to any one household during more than a very limited portion f each day. Its value would consist chiefly In the celerity with which iso lated crimes would be dNcovered and hunt, of the criminals begun. The fur ther suggestion thnt each household convert Itself Info a miniature arsenal and that Its women occupants bo trained In the use of weapons of self defense Is more to the point, although its successful execution would require caution nnd self-control. 13ut nfter all, these various propost tlons look only to superficial conditions. If In lare areas of sparsely populated country vile crimes are on the increuse nnd the nifety of unpiotected woman hood is moro and more endangered, remedies are needed which will prevent rather than simply accelerate punish ment after the crlmo has been commlt-tt-ri. It la a fact of happy slgnlllcanco that human nature is capable of devel opment to iv plane where educated wills and consciences hold 8way over the animal passions and make for manly manhood, with a deference toward wo manhood so clearly defined that no po liceman's baton Is needed to safeguard the personal virtues. Where opportu nities for self-Improvement are amplo nnd free to all, without bnn as to creed or race or politics, wo hear of fow out rages and fewer excesses of mob retri bution. The law takes Its appointed course, with what malefactors them tiro and the churched, free schools, anil happy homes tuko good cure that male fuctora are not permitted to multiply. The South has Itself unil none other than Itself to blnme for Its race prob lem, It started the problem In the first place and It Is now doing as little as It enn to securrt an amicable solution of that problem. Its hand Is lifted, not to beln but to ban and to mob the Ig norant colored victim ot Its past short sightedness and folly; and if the Soutn thinks thnt carving negro rapists to pieces before a slow lire la going to cool the hot negro blood thnt flames from time to time Into gross sensual crimes It shows Itself Ignorant both of human nature In general nnd of the frightful U-MOiia of lis own bloody past. The decision of the state Supreme court nlllrmlng the unconstitutionality of the direct Inheritance tax law hinged directly upon that provision In the act exempting from taxation decedents' estates under V'.OOO In value. This exemption was ruled to be In direct violation ot Article IX. Sections 1 and L of the state constitution declaring that all taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects. It was this same exemption feature which knocked out the Federal Income tnx law. The robbing of Peter to pay I'aul will never become popular In this re public. Gorman Freshness Again. Secretary ot State Hay made pre cisely the proper reply to the somewhat excited protests of the German am bassador against the speeches of Cup tain Coghlnn concerning Admiral von Diedeilehs' freshness at Manila. Sec retary Hay told the German ambassa dor that inptaln Coghlan had not spoken In an official capacity as a rep resentative of the United States gov ernment and that consequently the American department of state could not undertake to criticise what Cogh lan said or to admit it to the domain of international episodes. He added, however, that he was personally sorry that the captain of the Raleigh had spoken so as to give offense to the German emperor and he said thnt the American navy department might bo trusted to attend to Coghlan in u cordanen with Its regular rules of dis cipline. This is the whole thing in a nut shell. Coghlan told the truth Ind's creetly; his Ill-timed frankness raused his government embarrassment: but he spoke as an Individual solely, hav ing been told that the occasion of bis oratorical effort was a private social function beyond the ken of the omni present reporters, and there is abso lutely no cell whatever for Germany to get info a tantrum over wnat this private American citizen said to other private American citizens in the free dom of nn Informal social gatlurlng. The American people havr stood far worse speeches from Germans highr In official rank than Captain Coghlan without uttering a word of complaint, and it would become the German em peror at lierlln and his diplomatic representative at Washington to study the numerous examples of Amerl :a's moderation. Coghlan was in error as to the time and manner of his speech and he de serves to be disciplined accordingly. The American people, while feeling sorry for Coghlan because they believe that his offense was not one of Intent and because lilr. services In their behalf have been ample 10 cover a multitude of harmless slips of the tongue, are at this time unanimous upon the propo sition that Coghlan should be disci plined. Hut it would take very little of German officialism's high nnd mighty fusslness to cause them to lose sight of Coghlnn's offense in indigna tion at tho pomposity, fretfulness und supersensltiveness oi his Christian ma jesty, Kaiser Wllhelm II, whose quick ness in inking offense seems to be sur passed only by his slowness in rectify ing an offense when given by him to others. The antl-lmperlalists of Boston are Indignant that any of the trouble at Manila should be attributed to the en couragement that the Filipinos re ceived from men of their class in the 1'nlted States senate. It Is not likely that the talk of antls would carry much weight on this side of the water, but It must be remembered that the Filipinos have not been sufficiently ed ucated to realize what a small figure the American Filipino Junta really cuts at home, and It Is not surprising that the Insurgents were misled. Mechanical gymnastics are among the latest Inventions. Ily a series of contrivances a. man's muscles may .jv developed as thoroughly as though he was in the act of splitting kindling wood with no exertion on the part of the subject. When some one Invents an apparatus that will do the breath ing for humanity, uie spring fever victim will doubtless begin to enjoy living. m The hclzure of bogus-stamped cigars goes merrily on about tho country, and the joko Is appreciated by all save the unhappy retailers who seem to have been the only ones thus far to suffer for the neglect und rascality of the Lancaster Internal revenue officials. Mr. Croker Is to be permitted to go to Ruropo after having accepted a sub poena to reappear on the witness stand after his return in August.

John Wannmnker nppealed to tho criminal courts of his state for tho conviction nnd punishment of his po litical nrch-cnomy, Senator Quay, and the verdict under tho lnw proved to be nn acquittal Instead of a conviction. Therefore John Wanamaker repudiates the verdict of tho tribunal to which he had appealed, und says to his par tisans, "Tho senator may bo convicted yet; our warfare shall continue unre mittingly." And thus does Mr. John Wannmnker come uncomfortably near to making nn ass of himself, while he quite succeeds In proving that It Is not the public good, as he professes, but personal mnllco that lies at the root of the Quay prosecution. Tho Post-Stnndnrd does not believe unqualifiedly In Senator Quay. It would choose that politicians of his In tensely practical sort were less In evi dence In the membership of the United States sennte than they nro. But It Is able gladly to congratulate Senator Quay, and tho state ot Pennsylvania, and the Republican pnrty of the coun try upon Senator Quay's acquittal. Tho trial for his conviction has been conducted In absolute good fnlth, with a zeal amounting ulmost to virulence, and the constituted Judicial authori ties of the commonwealth have de clared him guiltless upon the grave charge brought ngalnst him. This Is enough for honest nnd right-minded men; and the people of the country, except Mr. Wanamaker and his like, will now receive and gladly adopt as their own, tho decision of the matter which tho courts have reached. The Tost-Standard believes that Mr. Quay, appointed by tho governor of Pennsylvania to his old place In the United States senate, will be confirmed In his seat by the senate vote; it be lieves also that he now ought to bo so confirmed. The Animus Revealed. From the Buffalo News. Sanctimonious John Wanamaker an nounces that he will continue the war on Senator Quay, who was vindicated by a jurv and honored with a reap pointment to the United States senute by Governor Stone. This Is no moro than wns to bo expected ot Mr. "Wnna maker, who Is getting a great deal of free advertising for his bargain counters out of the crusade which he would like people to consider a holy war. But It Is an unexpected admis sion that what the anti-Quay people were after Is not Justice, but tho over throw of the man they hate. To a casual observer it would appear that It is about up to Mr. Wanamaker to say nothing and continue the ad vertising of bargains "on the second floor, Chestnut street front, second counter to the left." Received with Gratification. From the Albany Argus. When the prosecution In the case against Senator Quay rested, It was virtually certain that the worst that Mr. Quay and his friends had to fear wns a disagreement ot the Jury. That there could be no conviction upon such evldenco us had been submitted by the district attorney was a foregone con clusion. All unprejudiced persons who followed the proceedings In the case as they were published will regard the verdict of acquittal as what was to be expected. And because It Is known that there was behind the Inception of the proceedings against Mr. Quay not so much nn honest desire to bring about the punishment of a man who was believed to have committed a wrong; but the ijurpose to effect the ruin ot a political leader, the news that Mr. Quay has been declared Inno cent of the charge against him will be received with gratification by the fair-minded public, the majority of which might otherwise have paid but little attention to the case und Its out come. A Complete Vindication. From the Washington Post. We think It safe to say that Mr. Quay's acquittal was a foregone con clusion. It Is Inconceivable that any right-minded and well-informed person ever dreamed that Mr. Quay was guilty of the charges brought against him. The fact was only too patent that his persecution originated In hatred, hum bug, nnd hypocrisy. Mr. Quay is a great manipulator of men. He is wise, far-seeing, strenuous, and enlightened To him wns bequenthed the task of keeping nllve the Republican organiza tion in Pennsylvania. In discharging this exacting duty, he naturally antag onized Impudent pretenders, ungrate ful beneficiaries, and vkious mounte banks. He had a pledge to redeem. He was working for the perpetuation of American institutions the rule of the legitimate majority and, in pursuance of tills tusk, he sloughed off tho frauds, the detrimentals, the useless hypocrites of the urmy he commanded. He was right, and the enemies he has made confirm our Judgment. But the end has come. The vile con spiracy concocted by Quay's ungrate ful proteges, has reached a lame and Impotent conclusion. Nothing dishon orable or even technically wrong has been proved against him. A persecution without parallel for bitterness nnd reck less rancor has fallen to the ground. Quay's enemies have been confuted and discredited. The web of falsehood. Im plication, and meanness they strove to weave about his fame hns been severed In a thousand places. The conspiracy has been baflled and disgraced. With a seemingly hostile, though honorable judge; with at least an Impartial Jury; ugainst every vicious suggestion and adroit juggling of facts and figures, Mr. Quay has been honorably ac quitted. That the result makes for de cency nnd righteousness, no Intelligent nnd honest man will venture to deny. Of the Ignoble nnd mean Inspiration of the persecution, wo shall leave others to speak. Kiiough for us that a do testable and vicious ulllauce has been rebuked. As a Just nnd honorablo Magistrate, the Governor of Pennsylvania has ap pointed Mr. Quay to fill the vacant senatorshlp ad Interim. As nn Impar tial, fair-minded, and patriotic body, the next legislature of the State will promptly re-elect Matthew Stanley Quay. A Natural Feeling. From the Lebanon Report (Anfl-Quny ) Many men uro to he found men un friendly to Mr. Quay politically und who strongly disapprove his methods politically and otherwise who uro highly gratified that ho hns been ac quitted. a gratification hardly logical, hurdly judicious, not ut all Judicial, but none tho less human. They nro grati fied not because they believe Mr. Quay Innocent, but because they believe his prosecution was begun und pushed for partisan purposes, not that tho ends of Justice might bo subserved hut that envy, hatred and thwarted ambition might triumph In his downfall. When tho crlmlnnl court Is made nn engine to work personnl spite, tho guilt ot tho nccused becomes secondary nnd Is lost sight of In tho natural condemnation thnt honest men feel toward the cow ard nnd snenk. Vindictive John. From tho Chlcnso-IIeiiilil. Hy the evidence of his own state ment submitted to tho press, In which ho mercilessly excoriates Quay nnd de clares tho verdict ot acquittal to bo " a new chapter of shame for Pennsyl vania." Mr. Wnnamnkor discloses his factional leadership and places him self In tho nttltude of a party boss. Mr. Wanumnkpr Is wrong when ha says that tho state proved Its charges against Quay. It would be a menace to Justice If men could be convicted und sent to the penitentiary upon such unconvincing evldenco. p. An Unfortunate Prosecution. From tho Buffalo Commercial. Tho senator stood up to tho rack and passed the test. Jt Is on every ac count most untortunato that ho should have been hauled Into tho courts, If tho prosecuting officers hnd no bettor evl denco than they produced. They h.ivi succeeded In making Mr. Quay a stronger man with the Pennsylvania Republicans than he was twelve months ago. Complete. From the Buffalo Express. Mr. Quay's vindication Is more com plete than somo of his friends would have made It If they had had their way. In the fuco of this verdict no ir political opponent of Quuy can re fuse to acknowledge that the evidence was Insufficient to connect him with the commission ot a crime as charged. Borno Out by the Facts. From the Buffalo Cornier. The defense's; charge that Quay was tho victim of a political combination wus borno out by the facts. Stronger Than Ever. From tho Chicago Intct-Oeeaii. In trying to crush him, his enemies have made tho senator stronger than ever with the Republicans of Pennsyl vania, LITERARY NOTES. Stevens' Mechanical Catechism, Jiif-t Is sued, is a marvel. I.lko all the reference books published by Laird & Lee, it Is crammed full of Information. The steam engine Is thoroughly explained with all Its modem attachments and improve ments, slide valves, safety valves, Injec tors, pumps, steam gauges, lubricators, eccentrics, link motion. Indicator, etc. Tho traction engine and bay stacker are treated In a sneeliil rli.intnr. Tim mmni. facturlng of Ice refrigeration machines, brine nnd direct expansion systems are treated exhaustively. Also, the machine shop, the electric plant, house wiring ana electric heating. The scientific principle and basis ot mechanical work is made clear in every subject, so that the prac tical hints and directions given are more easily grasped. Calculations of horse power, pulley-speid. lathe, gearing, square root, leverage, tensile strength are made easy, und such puzzling ques tions ns the travel ot" enwshend and crankpin are solved In a practical, con vincing manner. The elements of alge bra are presented In a very happy man ner. Useful recipes for emergencies are scattered all over the book. A classified alphabetical Index enables the reader to turn to every subject instantly. Over 210 sectional cuts and Illustrations, many of them specially designed for this work, give it additional value. A. Conan Doyle's new novel, "A Duet, with nn Occasional Chorus," Is said to bo a story in which the author has felt a peculiar Interest. The scene Is laid in London, and the story is one of the present time. The book ot.uns where tho conventional novel ends with a mar riage; and another point of difference from the usual novel Is that the mar riage turns out. happily, notwithstanding tho varied experiences of hero and hero ine. Dr. Doylo shows a new phase of his fine talent In this book. As a story of wedded love It has an idyllic character which will appeal to ivtry reader not devoid of healthy sentiment. As an adroit interpretation of a true philosophy of wedded life the story contains llltis trations and pithy sayings which will enlist tho interest of women and men alike. Probably American readers will feel a stronger Interest than their Kng llh cousins In Hih vivid glimpses which the author contrives to Introduce of his toric Kcenei In Westminster Abbey, of St. 'Olaf's church, tho burial place oi" Pepy, nnd of the home of Thomas Carlyle. 11 should be noted that the author his sacrificed his serial rights for the sake of presenting his complete- story to the public for the first time In the book which Is published by D. Applcton & Co. Mii'ii has been tald about the "loop" dirrlbeil hy the Brooklyn at the begin, nlng of the naval battle at Santiago. Reur-Admlral Philip, who commanded tho Texas, thus describes one aspect of this evolution In the May Century. "As the Texas veered westward, the Brook lyn was plowing up the water nt a great rate In a. course almost due north, direct for tho oncoming Spanish Khlps. and nearly a mile away from the Texas. The smoke from our guns began to hang so heavily nnd densely over the ship that for a few minutes we could see nothing. Wo might as well have had a blanket tied over our heads. Suddenly a whiff uf breezo and a lull In the firing lifted the pall, and there, bearing toward us ami nertss our bows, turning on her pot helm, with big waves curling over her bows and great clouds of black smoke pouring from lir funnels, was the Brook lyn. Sho looked as big ns half a dozen Great F.nsterns. and seemed so near that It took our breath away. 'Back both en. glnes hard!' went down the tube to th astonished engineers, und In a twinkling tho old ship was racing against herself. Tho collision which seemed Imminent, even If It was not. was averted, und as the big cruiser gilded past, all of us on tho bridge gavo a sigh of relief." "McCluro's Magazine for May will In troduce a now writer, Booth Tarklng ton, of Indianapolis, with the opening Installment of a novel of present-day American life. Tho story Is pronounced by those who have read It In manuscript ns fresh und absorbing In plot and re markably pleasing In Its atmosphere and spirit. J. L.

"Yet," be says, "so it is, The most notable new book of tho hour Is, beyond doubt. Dr. C. W. Doyle's 'Taming of the Jungle' iLlpplu cotts). Not In many a long day has there npptnred such a refreshingly orig inal and strikingly meritorious work of flcllon. Dr. Dnylo must bo hulled as a new stnr nn tho hoilzon."
