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.

Some Opinions of
fh? Qiiay Uerdict.
Prom Syrncuso Post-Stnndnrd.
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.

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."

A Philadelphia gentleman suffered from nervous dyspepsia for
nine years, so badly that at times he was afraid to eat anything. Ho
concluded to try Ripans Tabules, and at once received great benefit.
" They have cured me of that trembling in the chest," he says, "I
can cat almost anything, have an excellent appetite and do not
have a headache any more."
