SPRAXTOX, APHtLai. 100-'.
For governor of Pennsylvania, on the
Issue of mi open field and fnli- play,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
Mibjoet to the will of the Republican
niasce".
Thf next governor of Pennsylvania
will not owe his nomination to the girt
of any boHs. It will come to him from
the Republican people and lie will be
thelr's only to comni.nul.
Appealing to the People.
THK fit st popular pilmaties to
be held wince M. S-. Quay
drove a dlik into the man
chiefly responsible for his
present existence politically will be In
Huntingdon e oil My, and John P. Klkln,
In a manly letter lo the chairman of the
Kepubllcan committee ot that county,
announces his wiMi to legister as ii can
didate for govemor and huxe an ex
pression of prefeience from the Repub
lican voters of Huntingdon.
I3y the time that these pilmaiies aie
held it Is hoped that the men who lined
Quay into his piesent unnatmal attitude
will hae decided upon the man thai
the deblre to foist upon the .Republicans
of Pennsylvania and will older him to
try his Inch against Klkin openlj. I'.y
the outcome of such a campaign Mr.
Klkln and all his lriends are perfectly
v illiug to abide. They simply want a
fair and open test of party prefeience.
They believe fiom the lesults in those
counties where such tests have been
made tli.it the lcsult throughout the
plate would be in their favor; but
whether that belief Is collect or not,
they stand leady to accept and nc
quie.se in the popular veidlct. A cam
paign conducted on such u basis could
not possibly Injure the party, but on
the central y is necessary to piotect
obvious party interests.
rOn the contrary, should the thteaten
ed attempt be carried out to sandbag
Republican sentiment by forcing on the
ticket some candidate selected in secret
conclave by :i coterie of men who dare
not themselves go befoie the people and
who fear to let their leptesentallve go
before them, while we do not doubt the
political loyalty of John P. Klkln the
history of Penusj Ivania politics Is elo
quent in wauling of disastious con
sequences. A stilling ot the part) pre
feience In lSSU elected Pattlson in the
state and was followed two years later
by the election of Cleveland In the
nation. Iioth Incidents were lepeated
by similar means, each eight years
afterwnid.utul these two object Itsous
admonish tho?e Intel ested In Repub
lican success to bewaie when bosses
Jlout the moused sentiment of the
people.
The joung Republicanism of Penn
sylvania is moused as never befoie by
the biutal tieatment of John P. Klkln.
It Intends to teach the icsponslble
authoiM of That political outrage a les
son they will not soon forget.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania pio
pose to nominate their own candidate
for governor, regardless of the deals of
X'lttsburg nillllonaiies.
Insurrection in the House.
UNDOUBTEDLY the situation
III which the house organiza
tion finds Itself us a lesult of
Its defeat Filday in the
voting upon tlio Payne rcclpiocity bill
Is) full .of, embarrassment for the smull

riile's'and traditions constitute tho

Ve do not believe this. They have prob
ably postponed It and mudo u bud

straighten things out. If, however, their
boast should prove accurate, they" will
realise ere long that in Killing Cuban

cllatices of controlling the next con
gress and seriously discredited their
branch of the national legislature In
the estimation nf tt largo innjoilty of
thoughtful people,
The main consoling thought In this
melancholy ptospcrt Is that If some of
tlio Republican members linvo been un
wise mi overwhelming litimbcr of the
minority iiiembcrrhlp has been perma
nently in 4 he same llx. Until tho De
mocracy shall evolve a policy and stick
to It dissensions among the Republi
cans will not be fatal. Though Repub
licans lull out some of the time they
mo safe so long as their opponents find
It Impossible ut any lime to fall In, In
the meanwhile It will notbe overlooked
by the country that the Republican
leaders In the house, the "organization",
so to speak, made most of their own
troubles themselves. They began by
opposing the piesldent and only enmc
to his support when self-interest com
pelled. Naturally their second attitude
was badly handicapped by their first.
The next time tlicy will undoubtedly
know better. For the present, there is
nothing lo do .but to hope that the
breach of Friday may be healed before
the fall elections nnd the party reunited
for the next tesl of strength.
When Henntor Quay a year ago said
that his political race was run there
were some who weie skeptical. Rut
in tho judgment of many, unless the
mistake Is soon cot reeled his treatment
of Joint P. Klkln bus since confirmed It.
Tariff Revision Coming:.
THE BREAKING away of sixty-four
Republicans rom
the control of the house "or
ganization" In the voting
upon the Payne reciprocity bill meas
ures tlie growing feeling of unrest in
orthodox Republican circles, and more
especially In the great agricultural dis
tricts of the Northwest and Middle
West, over the continuance of tariff
duties on articles no longer needing
protection, but actually, according lo
reputable testimony, in some cases us
ing protection to advantage the foreign
at the expense of the home consumer.
It no longer seems possible to doubt
tliat there- aie Instances In which
highly protected industiles have sold In
the foreign maiket for less than they
demand and exact hi the home mar
ket, notwithstanding the difference In
fi eights. A'e called attention, some
lime ago, lo a letter read before a con
feience of house Republicans by Con
giessmun Dick, of Ohio; a letter from
a manufacturer in Akron, O., a con
stituent of 2Ur. Dick, who vouched for
his icliabllity. In tills letter the charge
was made in detail, with names and
dates, that certain products manufac
tutod from steel could be bought of
American manufacturers in Germany
at prhes so much below the home
prices that if then weie no duty lo
pay, the American purchaser could bet
ter aftord to buy in Germany and le
sliip than to buy at home.""
At another conference, Mr. Ijlttlelleld,
of Maine, whose l'cpubllcanlsin, if un
lettered, is certainly substantial and
staunch, read a letter similar In kind.
It was from Charles It. Ilnnseom,
piesldent of the Eastern Shipbuilding
company, of New London, Conn., one
of the largest merchant ship-building
plants In the country, and among other
things it said: "it seems to me thut
the piotecthe duty on steel material is
not needed at the present time, as our
munufactureis are able to sell sl,eel in
England at HI", cents per 100 pounds,
thus underselling the British manufac
turers, but, owing to our protective
duty, at the same time this steel was
being sold In England at 93 cents,
Aineiican ship-builders weie paying
$1.." and upwaid per 100 pounds. At
the present time, 'steel material enter
ing into the construction of vessels l'or
foreign tiade la admitted free of duty.
I think it -would be quite beneficial to
siilp-balldiug Intei ests if this steel
could also be admitted fiee for vessels
which aie to engage in domestic trade."
The conditions heie noted aie viewed
witli suspicion by thousands of Re
publicans who are thoroughly loyal to
the doctrine of piotectlon as they un
derstand it; namely, a taiilf for pro
tection but not for extortion. Tlio de
cision of tho Itepubllcau leaders 'In
congress not to undertake a levlslon of
the prevalent tmiff duties at this ses
sion was undoubtedly wise, for the rea
son that many inoie pressing matters
demand attention and business condi
tions, being prosperous, should not be
unnecessatlly distuibed, Yet It is as
plait! as anything In the future can be
that the time is not remote when there
will bo either u revision made by hands
liiendly lo the tiiio doctrine of protec
tion or a revision by hands openly or
secretly hostile to all forms of protec
tion. According to the National Provlslon
er, the packet h of meat have lost money
for u number of weeks at present pi Ices
and have been saved fiom bankruptcy

One bundled thousand Englishmen
gathered In Crystal Palace, London,
Saturday to seo the game which was
lo decide the footlKill championship of

lays it over American baseball.
Again tho prediction Is nude that
Congiessiiuin Llttlelleld will bo the next
speuker of the house. Predictions me
uncertain; but what Is certain about
Llttlelleld Is that ho Is of speakership
size.
