KCIIANTON. APFUr, 23, 1802.
For Kovenuif of Pennsylvania, on the
issue- of mi open Held antl fair piny,
JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana,
subject to the will of the Keiiubllcnn
- Let the People Decide. -
Tiin ANNOUNCEMENT of
niir townsman, Colonel Wat
res, that hi; inlomls to seek
a further test of popularity
with Attorney General Klkln In open
primaries yet to be held Is creditable to
Ills pluck and highly satisfactory to tho
"supporters of Mr. Elkln. It Is what
they have Invited. It Is-what they sin
cerely desire.
The demand of John P. Elkln and
those with him in his flKht for fair
piny is that the Republican masses in
Pennsylvania be permitted to exercise
their light to choose as the party nom
inee for governor that .Republican
whom a majority of them clearly favor.
The supporteis of Mr. Elkln believe
that the choice of the people would fall
upon their favorite. They base this be
lief upon the fact that In every coun
try where the issue has yet been fairly
raised, John P. Elkln has won decidedly.
In Bradford, Blair, Lebanon nnd two
districts of Luzerne the Issue lias been
drawn with unusual clearness and In
each of these counties the manifesta
tion of popular endorsement for the In
diana plow-boy has been one of the no
table features of modern politics; in a
number of other counties Elkln has
won virtually without opposition; and
only in the few counties -where dele
Kates have been chosen by manipulative
processes without reference to popular
opinion and hastily sealed up as "unin
structed" has he failed to sweep the
Held.
Hut the entry of Colonel Watios as an
active competitor by registration where
the popular vote can be elicited presents
n rallying point for those opposed to
Mr. Elkln's candidacy and should,
therefore, cnntiibute to political fair
ness. Should "Wat res by this means
win a majority in the state convention
he -will have no more loyal supporter
than John P. Klkln. Conversely, should
lie fail to prevail over Elkln, any
attempt by Senator Quay and his bri
gade of Federal odlee-holders to take
from Elkln by throttling pioce.sses the
fruits of fnlily won victory will be
made vivid before public scrutiny and
those responsible for It will have to ac
cept tho consequences.
In thin connection the following dis
patch from Pittsburg, printed In the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, hits curious
interest: "Close friends of Senator
Quay are authority for the statement
mat He lias decided to force the lighting
against Elkln at every point. As proof
of this fact, the Federal otllce-holding
crowd, headed by Revenue Collector
IJershey and United States Attorney
MeCarrell, has been ordered to fight
the election of Elkln delegates In
Dauphin. Quay has notified his Federal
appointees In oilier counties that they
must bring In autl-Elkin delegates.
Quay and his leaders have, It is under
stood, fully decided that Cameron is an
impossibility, and liave Indicated that
Congressman Joseph Sibley is their
I'holcu for governor. A dual object Is to
ho accomplished In taking Sibley, lie
Is enormously wealthy, and would go
Into the campaign with the earnest
suppori of Immense corporate Inlet ests,
and has the reputation of being thu
most apectauiil.u' campaigner."
The more tho merrier, piovlded only
that the people be permitted to de
cide. By their decision the Mends of
Jilkln aie willing to abide.

The claim of the Elkln opponents that
tjielr men weia bought away fiom
AVivtivn In TaiKeriie Is humorous to those
acquainted witlf the facts.
Secretary
i
Hay's Brilliant
urnph..
Trl-
CCOUDINC, to "Washington ad-
vices definite assurances have
, been received by our sUute de-
; , partment that under the new
treaty between Russia nnd China. Rus
sja agrees to lestore thu civil admin
istration of Manchuria without teserve
t the Chinese empire, to evacuate that
province completely within one year and
to- suriender all claim to exclusive
jajlway and' milling privileges, thus
aubscrlblner to'the American doctrine of
tlui)"opon door." Hack of this treaty
Ihu highly Interesting and at times,
drjniatlo story of diplomacy. Walter
Weilmnn thus tells It In a Jetter to the
Chicago Record-Herald:
It was Russia's peislstent pccuputlon
ofMnnchurla that threatened the peace
or the world; for Manchuria was tho
key" to the whole Chinese situation. As
long as Russia held that province in
the grip of U0,000 soldiers; as long as
Russia held not only mllltniy sway hut
administered tho-clvll government, the
lntegilty of the Chinese empire was
threnloneiti1 If ttusslli could thus seize
and hold Manchuria, Korea was not
safe from n nlmllar acquisition, nor
north China Itself. Hence the agree
ment of Russia to surrender the prov
ince ami withdraw her troops Ut taken
throughout the world as a sign of peace,
as an earnest that Muscovite ambition
to ovemtii the most or eastern Asia
and muster tho Chinese empire has at
last been abandoned, temporarily If not
permanently.
"You should be very piotul of your
foreign olllce," said Count Cnsnliil, the
Russian ambassador to Washington, n
few days ago, speaking to an Ameri
can gentleman who called at the em
bassy. "Secretary Hay has done more
than any other living man to solve the
eastern problem. All tho powers have
now adopted his platform for the Integ
llty of the Chinese empire and the open
door." Praise from Count Casslnl Is
praise Indeed. Hut other diplomatists
echo It. They point out that It was
Secretary Hay who Injected Into tho
controversy over China's future the
moral Idea which has proved to be tho
key to the whole complicated problem.
This he did In October, 1899, when the
woi Id fhst learned that the principle of
the open door had been proclaimed by
the American government. That prin
ciple the United Stales has stuck to
through all the changes and complica
tions ot the ensuing year. Since then
China lins passed through the throes
of a revolution which for a time threat
ened the success of the Anierlcnn pol
icy. Now and then appearances Indi
cated that the cause was lost, and that
greed and spoliation would supplant
the doctrine of equal rights for the na
tions In the Chinese empire. Germany
has played a fast and loose game, and
France bus consistently supported Rus
sia. Great Britain seemed hopelessly
involved elsewhere. Japan was not big
enough to stem the tide alone. Ridi
cule was heaped upon the open door
programme. It was everywheie pre
dicted that In China's revolutionary
turmoil Russia would Hint the oppor
tunity not only to hold Manchuria, but
to advanee.step by step, to greater con
quests. But there Is .tremendous power In a
moral principle when it Is constantly
pushed to the front by an able states
man speaking' for a nation like the
United States. This is what Mr. Hay
did. He did it, not theatrically, not
with bluster, but with tact and caution,
and always with persistence. As It
was Russia's policy to creep with
stealthy force and a combination of sol
diery and railways over the coveted
territory, so it was Mr. Hay's policy to
ever hold that moral principle up as a
warning of "No thoroughfare." Step
by step he seemed pledges, insincere
and meaningless perhaps at first, but
serving as foundations to more valu
able promises to be secured later. Tims
he built up his fabric, securing the half
hearted co-operation of some powers,
the slnceie support ot others. But
every expression ot assent strengthened
the case. Every new pledge on Rus
sia's part, with whatever degree of good
faith given, made it the more difficult
to repudiate the undei lying principle.
Through the occupation of Peking by
the allied troops and the long negotia
tions which followed, the fate of China
and of the American policy tiembled
In the balance. But firmness on the
part of the United States government
and the support of Great Britain and
Japan found a way through that crisis:
Early In the present year a second
crisis was leached. Russia was seek
ing a firmer hold on Manchuria, indica
tive of a more aggressive policy as to
the whole problem. A new treaty with
China was under consideration, a treaty
which If concluded would place In Rus
sian hands absolute control of all rail
way, mining and commercial privileges
of the province. At this juncture Sec
retary Hay came forward with his
memorable note of Feb. 1. He defined
the altitude of the United States with
almost startling diplomatic frankness.
He declared that an agreement "where
by China gave any corporation or com
panya Russian device the exclusive
privilege of opening mines, establishing
railroads or in any other way Indus
trially developing Manchuria can hut
be viewed with the gravest concern by
the government of the United States,"
He added that such an agreement con
stituted a monopoly, "which is a dis
tinct breach of the stipulation of the
treaties between t'hlna and the foreign
powers." He called the attention of the
Russian government to the repeated
pledges which It had given, nnd closed
with an expression of the hope that tho
governments of China and Russia
would take such measures as would
"relievo the just and natural anxiety of
the I'nltPd States." Tills note produced
a piofound Impression throughout the
world. It was an application of the
principle of equal rights and equal op
portunity In a way so clear and unmis
takable ihaMi compelled attention.
Soon there followed a third crisis. Tho
United Stales had supplied thu prin
ciple, now Great Riltain and Japan con
cluded nn alliance which pledged to this
principle n support almost threatening
In Its aspect. In plain language, the
allies threatened war If Russia did not
give up her pretensions to Korea. Still
Russia did not yield. She turned to the
other powers to ascertain their atti
tude In case of hostilities. France, as
usual, was pliant. Germany was look
lug out for German Intetests and stood
ready to profit by any upheaval, to de
niand a pi lee for uny Inaction that
might bo requested of her. But what
would tho United States do? Would tho
United States take any part In the
Btruggle? AVould the A met lean govern
ment give material .aid to the allied
powers which stood for the Ametlcan
principle',' Almost every day Count
Casslnl, the astutu RusslanNnmbnbs.i
dor, wus at the state department. Tact
fully, with diiifomiitlc euphemisms, he
pressed his Inquiries. It Is quite prob
able that tho Issue of peaco or war
hung upon the answer, If the United
States was willing to declare Its Inten
tion to pursue tho traditional Ameri
can policy and avoid all entanglements
In tho other world Russia, would have
felt freo to pursue her way In tho far
East, even at tho ilsk of wur, With the
United Stutes binely out she could, with
her allies, France certainly and Ger
many probably, face tho untngonlstlo
alliance. '
Hut the answer ot the United States
was that it could give no pledges. Fol- J
lowing Its Usual policy, this government
must decline to cay what It would 'nr
would not do In a given emergency. Jt
would bc'guided by selMnterept. It
would Watch events with groat eager
ness. When rmergencles arose It would
meet them as In Its judgment seemed
best. Unable to reckon Upon tho prob
able coitise of tho United Stntes, Russia
felt constrained to adopt n conservative
course. She could not defy tlio world.
The new treaty With China, which
atnountn to a surrender on the part of
Russia, quickly followed. Thoie Is little
reason to doubt that, for the present at
least, pence In the far East has been
secured, and the United Stntes is en
titled to the credit of It,
