Krnuil In Culm q Inoxeusnljlo, of
couiso. Hut If the Democrats of Tam
many Hall wore to fro after the crooks
In flotham like JIcKlnlcy la sunning
for the rascals In Cuba, wo would havo
moie leaped for the Tammany con
KroFsmen who appear to be so Inex
piesslbly shocked and pained at the
N'eely scanilal.
Who Hay Vote.
Wj: HAVn Pi:i:N asked to
explain the i.iul"lt -
to voting at Monday's
pilmailcs under the
Craw foul county system. Perhaps
the best answer is to repilnt the
party rules, which wo do elsewheie
on this page. It would be wise If
each Republican should clip out these
rules and put them In his pocket book
for leady reference In case of aigu
ment. Kulc 11 is tho one which answers
the question that is most frequently
asked. That lule hays: "Tho persons
having a light to vote at the pri
mary or nominating elections shall bo
Republicans, who are or may be legal
ly qualified voters in tho election pre
cinct at the next general election, and
who voted tho Republican ticket at
tho last preceding geneial election at
which they voted nnd were entitled
to vote, and shall Include all Republi
cans who have come of ago since last
election, and who may come of ago
befote tho next election. No known
member of any other than the Repub
lican party shall be allowed to vote."
Rule 12 says: "Any person offering
his vote at a primary election may
be challenged by any one entitled to
vote at the same election. In case
any pel son is so challenged, the vigi
lance committee shall not receive his
vote until ho has established his light
to vote, according to tho above quali
fication, on oath or afllrmatlon."
The meaning of the phrase "who
voted the Republican ticket at the
last preceding general election" has
not, to our knowledge, been judicially
passed upon. Whether "the Republi
can ticket" means a straight ticket
or a ticket partly cut Is a point which
the exercise of common sense must
determine. That man, we should say,
Is a Republican who ordinarily and
in a majority of Instances supports by
ballot a majority of the nominees on
the Republican ticket. Such a man,
willing so to swear or afllrmlf chal
lenged, would seem to lie entitled to
vote Pt the Republican primary under
a reasonable Intel pretatlon of our
county rules.
If tho Democracy's ability to do
things were equal to Its ability to find
fault, what a success It would be!
Gotham's Ice Trust Scandal.
UPON INVESTIGATION, New
Yoik city's Ice trust scandal
grows. The otllcial list of
stockholders of the trust
shows that among the present or ie
cent owners of stock In this monopoly
are:
Ilobcrt A. Van Wjk, major.
Augustus Van Wvck, uujnr's brother, and re.
cent Democratic candid ite for (.oxenior.
nichard Crokor, boss of Tammany hall.
John 1'. Carioll, deputy boss of Tammany hall,
The dock commissioners.
Clerks of the dock commissioners.
Chle engineer of the dock department.
Supreme court judges.
The commissioners of lighting nnd supplies.
former major ot Ju'w Yorls.
Tho boss of Kings countj's Democratic ma
chine. Drookljn's park commissioner.
A former president of the board of education.
Various local leaders with influence.
And others who are not leaders but who hold
high office in the city hall.
T.riq right of these men to own stock
In an lco company Is not denied.
"Where the shady part of the trans
action comes In Is in the fact that
the trust has an exclusive contract
with the city to supply It with Ico and
also has virtually a monopoly of the
docks. It celebrated Us good fortuno
In getting these rich pickings by rais
ing tho retail price of ico exactly 101
per cent. Politics and the ice business
form a curious combination and no
wonder the people of New York city
are looking Into, it.
Twice as many top buggies were sold
last year as In any other year In our
history. That Is one reason why Ilryan
will not poll the farmer vote,
The Issues Directly Joined.
TUB SIGNIFICANCE of the
Oregon verdict Increases
after closer study. Not only
was the fusion of the oppo
ultlon to the Republican cause the most
comprehensive that the state has
known, but tho Joining of Issues was
at right angles.
The Fusion state platform declared
flatly and unconditionally for free sli
ver and Filipino Independence; the Re
publican state platform indoised sound
money and on the subject of expansion
"Wi "w lieartil" Indorse tho policy
ot the administration and particularly
In securing the Philippine Islands, nnd
demand that they shall be retained as
American territory. Wo have confi
dence that the Amorlcun people, with'
out departing from their tiadltlons,
will give security to personal and prop
erty rights, Justice, liberty and equal
ity befoio the law to nil who live be
neath Its flag. We Indorse the policy
ot the administration 111 suppi easing
the Insuricctton In the Philippines,
headed by Agulnaldo."
On these lines and almost wholly on
national Issues was the campaign
fought. The result speaks for Itself.
Last "year more pianos were pur
chased In tho United States than dur
ing the preceding six years. This was
also a mean trick of fate at the politi
cal expense ot the Democratic party.
Their Scheme Recoiled.
On :
cl.
or
MONDAY a delegation ot
Itlzcns waited upon tho gov-
rnor to iccommeiid tho ap
pointment of a new dairy and
food commissioner. The man they rec
ommended had no professional expeil
enco In that lino of work and when the
governor nsked his visitors how many
of them knew that men personally,
only two responded In the afllrmntlvo.
The position of the visitors, who had
come undei fnctlonal Inspiration for a
nutritiously factional purposo.was, says
tho Lancaster New Era, "made still
more embarrassing wnen tho governor
produced a letter, written a year ago
by C. P. Faucett, the president of the
Puie Butter Protective association, and
who was the snokesmnn of Monday's
gatheilng, In which ho stionglv urged
the leappolntment of Major Levi Weils
to be dally and food commissioner. It
was on tills recommendation, with nn
evident desire to please tho dairy In
terests dliectly affected, that the kov
ernnr made the appointment, but when
Major Wells proved lax In his duty the
self-same Interest turned on tho gover
nor and started to abure him for an
appointment made at their own sug
gestion and recommendation, Mr. Fau
cett had evidently foi gotten that he
had written the Wells letter and In his
embarrassment over Its production
could only say that ho 'had been
fooled.' That ho may have been, as
every honest man Is liable to bo, but
the honest man will ciedlt others with
the same motives that ho claims for
himself and will not permit himself to
be so blinded by factional political
hatied as to be foiced Into an abso
lutely ridiculous position. The smait
political fellows who conceived the
Idea of the call on tho governor, in the
hope that It would prove cinb.iriasslng
to the state's chief executive, are evi
dently of the opinion by this time that
their scheme badly mlscairled. In the
meantime tho farmcis Interested In the
great daliv industry, as well as the
people of the state at large, can rest
content that the governor will see that
tho law Is rigorously and impaitlally
enfoiced, regardless of whom It may
affect, and equally regardless of the
newspaper criticisms inspltcd wholly
by factional motives."
It ought to be pretty well established
bv this time that William A. Stone If
a man who does not scare easily and
one whom the Insuigent plotteis can
not rattle.
The faces of members of the Now
Yoik Ice trust begin to resemble car
toons of tho late William Tweed.
The Famine in India.
Ac
COMMITTEE of one hundred,
among the most prominent
nnd distinguished citizens of
New York, under tho chair
manship of William E. Dodge, was
foimed thiee weeks ago to systematize
the collection of funds for the relief of
the sufferers from famine In India, and
has Issued this general appeal:
Famine, fiom lack of rain, is now- uniting sixty
millions of our fellow -beings. At this moment,
death bj finer hunger and thirst threatens one
sixth of tint number. Thousands .ire starving
c.uh twintj'-four lions. In tint stricken laml,
the heavens are as iron nnd the cmh ai bliss.
Pirds ot the air drop lifeless fiom the burning
elj. llunditds of thou. mils of cuttle h.ic al
reaelj' J crished. In the absence of fuod .md
water, fierce animals lit got their lntreds, and
hilpless He down togdler to die. The decij
ing bodies of men nnd beasts pollute both plains
and livers. And the woe has nut ju reache'd
its woist. I'.iee to face with even smli horrors
still stand countless ehildien, and women, and
men, v.hom food will sjvi. Thank Cod, nlict
may almost listantlj iumi, by cable, fiom this
laud of plerty to lh.it Irdia of stui.utlun: Ac
conllnglj, oulj gifts of immej aie solicited.
What, then, shall we dot What will jou do?
Tor our answer we are cleirlj responsible to
ooth Cod nnd man. Oiilit not Amirii I to sum
quickly at hast a million dolhrs? In the limine
districts are illichnt, devoted men and women,
not only AmirK.in but also 1'uropean, who nie
already engage-d In the actual rescue, but who
lire pleading for larger tupplic. Rurelj hiicii
suppllis can be provided, and jet the cmtonmry
gifts -to long established ucinclcs for tnu up
lifting of the people of India not be at all lias-
enetl.
Meanwhile, the government of India Is organis
ing relief on a scale iinapproathed in the history
of th" world. Iloth tnasuie and life are given
without stint in the saving wrrk. On JIjj 11,
the number of s'arvlng aided officially was
5,7Q"),00O. That official dailj aid will lie stead
fastly continued and Increased, jet It will be
limbic to keep pace with the awful need. Tho
death-iate is bv far the cicatest i the native
provinces, whciu the goicnincnt has least influ
ence and control Only the united i llorts of all
the humane, the co-operating good-will ot atl
tthc nations, will suffice.
In this emergency, the committee of one hun
dred gladly puts itself at jour service, the ser
vice of the cause Messrs Brown Brothers k
Company, the well-known hankers. 5D Wall
street, have freelv consented to receive and ac
knowledge all gifts sent to them Dvcry ex.
pressed wish of donors velll be faithfully carried
out, and the committee, on its own part, wW
earnestly seek tho best, most clhVlcnt, most
economical agencies tor tho dUtilbutlon of un
designated funds. Together and nt once let us
move to the rescue. We can feed the Stirling.
There is not a minute to be lost. Tiom two to
flv rents a day will sive a life.
The express companies have rotdlally
consented to make nil their ofllrcs
agencies for the jecelpt and free trans
mission of relief funds for tho press
and for any and all relief committees
In tho United States. They also for
ward fiee of chat go the committee's
publications to any part of the country.
The banks of New York have united In
offering themselves as agencies for tho
receipt of contributions, and the com
mittee Is about to address fifteen thou
sand banks nnd banking houses, hoping
for llko action on their part. The tele
graph companies also have readily
agreed to transmit the commltee's
olllclal and, business messages free of
payment: and It Is evident that the
committee means business. The Trib
une will be glad to acknowledge and
'forward eubscrlptlontr for this cause, '

Pennsylvania, to be Known as the middle dis
trict, pissed during the present session of con
gress The western district, with heailquarters
at 1'ittsburg, lus been fighting the bill lor jeats,
because it provides for the holding of the feilerai
courts at Scranton, Hllllam-port .and llarrisburg,
and detaches thlity two counties fiom the east
em and western districts of the state. The bill
was favorably reported to the house on Morula,
May 21, but objtctlou wns made bj Congiess
man Tern, of Aikanas, to unanimous consent to
the consideration of the Mil, as asked by Mr.
Crow. Mr. Warner, of Illinois, then asked for
a viponslon of the lules to consider the bill. Al
though the ehiirman of the sub committee, Mr.
Warnei, of Illinois, having charge of the bill,
reported it favorably to the house, the speaker
ruled tint "a mctlon to suspend the rules on
committee supcrslon chj must be specifically
nutliorlrcd bj' the committee," ct In the fiee of
the statement by Mr. Ciow, that a mijonty of
the committee en the Judicial- hail reported
the Mil, and was entitled to move to suspend
the rules and consider the bill, the speaker ruled
it out of order, and the bill went over to be
called up liter on. It was, to siy the lease, a
halr-spllttinar technicalitj', and had the bill been
put -iipon its pissage would have gone through
by n large majority. This was what the oppo
nents feared, and interposed the technicality re
ferred to to temporarily set It back.
