KCUANTON, APIltL 10, 1002
The figure or the 'budget submitted
by Sir Michael Hicks-Bench will 110
doubt convince the British taxnnyers
tltnt flonernl Stioruinu'h definition of
war wns correct.
Of Course He VViil Fight On.
V"fHBRE Is nothing surprlsl
, I In the fact that Attorn
laliiB
, in me iiiri mat .iviiurimy
JL Cieneial Klkln has decided to
continue his gallunt battle
for the gubernatorial nomination. It
ii tine tluit Mntthcw Stanley Quay,
senator by virtue of Klkln's loyalty,
has with brutality unparalleled deciecd
that ISlkln shall be slaughtered. And
it Is no doubt true that the Quay-owned
camp-followers who have been protend
ing to be for Klkln will now slink away
from him and hunt the tent where the
dark horse Is being groomed. Any oth
er result would be Incomprehensible.
But the fact remains that a host of
the young Republican stalwarts of
Pennsylvania have set out to effeot Mr.
Klkln's nomination If possible; and the
trickery of Quay or the inconstancy of
the camp-followers supplies them with
no reason to desist from their enter
prise. If the outlook Is not so bright
today as it was before Quay delivered
his Judas stroke, that is simply a con
vincing reason why they should honee
lorth work all the harder. Their can
didate is clean, able and stalwart like
themselves.- Ills populaiity has been
bhown wherever tested and liai grown
wherever ho is known. In a fair and
manly appeal to the voters, against a
chorus of detraction and hired calam
ity wailinp, all emanating, it is now
believed from the Pittsburg influences
which later captured Quay. John P.
Klkln went gallantly before the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania, and won their
verdict wherever his challenge was ac
cepted. The odds against him are
stronger now than they wcie a week
ago, but we see no leasou to doubt that
he can yet face and vanquish any op
ponent dating to submit his candidacy
fairly before the people.
Of coulee Klliln is still in the Held
and if the counsel of his friends shall
prevail he v.111 stay there, to win or to
lose only when the last vote shall have
been counted, in the meantime, how
Is it among those who huvo platted
Klkln's destruction'.' They dare not
announce their man. They are playing
the old lilek of keeping him hidden
liom public notice until the delegates
have been counted and the deals all
dealt. Under the lofty banner of har
mony and reform no nre now seeing
easily the shabbiest: exhibition of boj-s
brutality In the modern history of
politics, and the amusing part of It is
that among the loudest applauders ate
those who have won what little renown
they possess as howling critics of boss
methods.
There is no question that a cloven
hoof Is behind the beef trust.
Nearlng Its Finish,
RKUAUPLKSS of how aeelli.ile
the published guesses at the
lenns of tho pending peace
negotiations are, it I.t plain
th.at tho South African agony Is In its
death throes, For ono reason, not a
filth of the original male lloer popula
tion of fighting ago remains at large to
llsht, the other I'our-llCths having been
captured hv the British and lijd us
prisoners of war. Then, again, though
seemingly ineshuui.tihle, the Boer sup
ply of ammunition appears at last to
s-how signs ot giving out. Huperlor
.weight, steadily bearing down upon
Jthem, has gradually crushed out the rc
islstlng power of lhc great tcnmlning
bulk of tho burgher population until,
despite tlio brilliant and dashing stiat
egy of PeAVet, Uo.I.a Itey and their
ihaniUul of gallant followers, the Inevit
able Jias approached within unmls
itaknlfTe view of the most obstinate,
' This condition ulono exulaius tho
present Intel change of peace overtures,
jl'ugland, Jt Is needless to say, is sick of
',tho war and horribly sick of its cost;
but sick as she Is, Kuglaud would not
consent to terms of peaco which cast
Jtny shadow of doubt upon tlto Identity
Sir the victor or upon tho future stabll-tj-'-'of
British ciuplri) in South Afiica.
JTe war on England's purt has been
Widely misunderstood, but pot in Eng
land. There tho people know that it
jiaS been a battle of races for control
of the southern half of the African con
tinent, Twico before hud the vain en
deavor been mude topostpone this In
evitable' by u process of compromise;
tWs time It Is In every fur-seeing Eng
Ifshman's heart thut there shall bo a
settlement for all time,
."But with the British emblem afloat
and secure his majesty's government
mhy well emulate the spirit of Lincoln
when he proposed that If the South
wquld write "Union" at thu top of the
pilge It might put whulever It pleased

peafco natters In the M'retotln. negolla
tlons, It would be Die policy ot wisdom
on tho part of tho English not to be loo
exacting regarding the details. Untitles
tlotmbly this war, miserable as It Is
while In progress, means tho beginning
of n now and blighter eta. for the wholo
of South' Africa. Kruuerlsni and the
seventeenth century still It of bigotry,
(Hid lutolerunco that i-o long stood In
the way of the development of lloer and
Briton alike, have gone down In It
never to come up again. Among tho
Boers themselves a new generation will
arise broadened and strengthened
mentally and physically by the experi
ences or tills struggle, and with a new
heritage of liberty and chance for
growth. The future of the country calls
for mutual understanding Instead of
Violent and cultivated prejudices, and
to this end generosity on the part ot
the preponderating power Is absolutely
essential.
We do not doubt that when the end
Is reached and the ofllclal terms are
made known to tho world, It will be
found that this Just expectation has not
miscairicd,
There 1110 still many who believe that,
when raised in the interest of harmony
in tlio ranks of b! titivated Democracy,
the voice of Hon. David B. Hill hath a
hollow, mocking sound.
Pennsylvania.
T 11111513 YEARS ago, on the
1'jth of this month, a num
ber ot Pennsylvanlans resid
ing In the metropolis organ
ized the Pennsylvania society of New
York, Their object was to cultivate
social intercourse, collect historical ma
terial relating to the state of Pennsyl
vania and to keep allvo its memory In
the chief city of lis neighboring com
monwealth. The chairman Is .Bishop
Potter; Andrew Carnegie, Charlton T.
Lewis, Sevoio Mallet-Provost and Rob
ert (J. Ogden are vice presidents; tho
chaplain is Rev. Dr. John V. Carson;
the treasurer, John A. HUtner, and the
secretary, Barr Fence. Among the S70
members are names of wide renown In
every walk of lite. The list of member
ship is almost a roster of the foremost
citizens of New York. Among non
resident members we note tho name of
Frank K Phillips. He Is Scranton's
only representative a worthy one, lint
there should bo more. Scranton's raiil
In Pennsylvania affairs calls for a
larger fellowship in this valuable so
ciety. The Pennsylvania, Society of New
York Issues a year book, the compila
tion of its secretary, Mr. Ferrer. The
second number of this has just been
received. In addition to the recoids of
the society it contains a large quantity
of carefully digested information relat
ing to Pennsylvania affairs, making the
volume virtually a "year book of con
temporary history and patriotism."
Thus space has been devoted to a se
lection of notable magazine articles on
Pennsylvania; a summary is given or
historical annlversatles, celebrations,
memorials and memorial portraits;
there is a digest of more significant
state legislation; notes on historical
buildings preserve the sequence of in
terest In tills fruitful field of Pennsyl
vania research; and, perhaps most im
portant of all, there is a department In
which the more notable books of the
year relating to Pennsylvania history or
achievement are bilefly but fairly re
viewed. To Pennsylvanlans everywhere
these records are serviceable. Their
promised future compilation on yet a
broader scale calls for appreciative an
ticipation. At the last dinner of this society, the
third annual "festival," It is euphemis
tically called, the address in response
to the toast, "The State of Pennsyl
vania," was dellveicd' by that eloquent
representative of Pennsylvanla-aer-tuany,
former Attorney Ooncial Ilcnsel,
We do not remember to have seen it
reported at the time, last December.

not pleaded for as a gift, but In return for

Ilec,nic in tho tiealy with us which wilt im

Because Migar is her chief pioduct, of which
we consume -l.flffAOM.OUO pounds annually, and
