Sj-eaker Fare, when he appointed (teneral'' KoouU a member of the Committee oa Military Affairs, dis placed a sense of humor that Lis frieuda were not aware that he pos sessed. A senatorial candidate in the East, accused of buying neaspaper influence, mvs: "The only papers worth buying are those that cn not be bought." The remark show a sound gra.pof the sub ject.

Tiiev have the deadlock in Califor nia as well as in other S utes. There ore four candidates, of whom U. S. irant, Jr., is thus far fir.-t in the race, his chief competitor, lSurns, being two votes behind him. Tn K Maine House of Hvpresentatives 1-y an almost unanimous vote pass-ed a resolution endorsing President Mi-Kin-ley's expansioj policy. It was intend el as a gentle bint for Senator Hale, and if he does not heed it, he will bear something drop real hard. "A gentleman," paid a politician of the Dead-lJorse Jake vintage, "is a voter who will stay bought." The Wders of the liolt from the Scnatorii.l -tiius are manifesting great anxiety tor fear oiue of their more recent con-t-rts Mill iit prove themselves gciitlt intii. Pkesihext Mt Kim.ev has ordered a emrt-niartial in the case of General Eagati, who so sbauic-fully and vilely nbused General Miles because the latter xpoised tlie embalmed lietf scandal. It is to le hoped that Kagan will be given a t-peedy trial, and that his pun ishment w .'A lit bis crime. As a rule, when a wealthy man dies it is discovered that his possessions were not nearly so large as supposed. The case of the late Calvin S. Brice is a good illustration of the inflative pow er of gossip. His fortune had been pop ularly estimated in millions, but hi ex ecutors have found that his estate is worth not over $400,WO. Junaixii from the appointments al ready made, Governor Stone is deter mined to put none but Stalwart Repub licans on guard. With V. W. Greist as Secretary of the Common weakh, Johu P. I'lkin as Attorney General, M'ld Israel W. Dunham as Insurance Commissioner, there is certain to be very little of the iuu:unip about the present administration. Governor Kione is a Republican without guile. The death of the late Chairman Dingley brings to the front, as the leader of the House, Mr. Payne, of New York, who is now serving his sev enth term in that body. Mr. Payne has been on the Ways and Means com mittee for about ten years, and is well posted. He ranked next to Mr. Ding ily on the committee, and will succeed to the chairminship, and by virtue of that position will become the Ilepubli c in leader on the fl or. Mr. Payne is & warm personal friend of Speaker Iled, and is a man of high intellectual attainments. The uew Insurance Commissioner, Israel W. Durham, probably has more real personal friends than any man ac tive in Philadelphia politics. It lias leen said of him that "bis word is as IT-hhI as bis bond," and through ail the bitterness of the factional fight of the list four years not even Lis bitterest op p uieiit lias ever gainsayed this state ment. Though aa active political lead er, Mr. Durham has never sought office, and tlieonly positions be has held are tho of magistrate and Slate Senator, to With ftf which be declined to allow biinself to ie re-elected. I.v naming John P. Klkin for bis At torney General Governor Stone did what every Stalwart Republican in the SUte wanted him to do, and, at the same time, be secured for the State the s rviee8 of an able lawyer and an bon es., incorruptible, fearless man. The Republican party of the State is greatly indebted to Mr. Elkin for the invalua ble services he has rendered it in the ptst, especially in the campaign of last Kail, and this marked recognition of his services and ability by the Governor raets with the hearty approbation of all true Republicans. Here's a health to you, John Elkin! Xo Republican Representative, reg ularly chosen at a party caucus or pri mary election, successful because the rank and file of his party stood by him, can afford to ignore party traditions and become an assistant-Democrat, says the Altoona Tribune. Mr. Ma gee, of Allegheny county, is a typical repre sentative at this moment of the true party man. He has always beeu op posed to Senator Quay and his meth ods. He Las not changed a particle. He went into the Republican caucus, voted agaiust Senator Quay there, and then submitted to the will of the ma jority. That is the only w ay in which party organization can be mainlined. The situation at Harrisburg remains unchanged since our last issue. Six joint ballots have been taken, and on each of them Senator Quay has fallen just twelve votes short of an election. The present deadlock may continue for some time, but there are surface indica tions that the lines of the Democrats and their assistants, the Wanamaker belters, are wavering. When the break up occurs it is bound to come sooner or later and it become a question whether the Jenks crowd will go over to the boltiug Republicans or the latter tfo to Jenks or to some other Democrat, it is almost certain that Senator Quay wiil gather in enough of the kickers from the two hostile camps to insure b's re election. There was wailing and gnashing of tteih among the score or more of Som erset .county indeieiidetits who had be o promised positions at Harriaburg yKPXESUAY- January Zi. Iff". 1 for their support of Repre- I sentatives Koontz and Kendall at last Spring's primaries, when the officers and employes of the House were an nounced Friday, and it was discovered that the Somerset Members were left out in the old, not even having been alloted a pasUT and folder. It is said that when the appointments were an nounced Itepresentative Koontz, like Abuer Dean, of Angels when a chunk of old red sandstone took him in the alxioitien "Smiled a kind of M.-kly um-and ctirk-d up hi tit fltrf Atid lit u!weiii"rt pivwtJio s liilf resist hiiu no lu.wv." If Senator Weller desires to carry out the wishes of a large majority of his constituents he will srwediiy change his vote from C. W. Stone to M. S. Quay. Somerset county polls within a fraction of as many Republican votes as the other two counties in the district, Redford and Fulton. At the Somerset primaries a large majority of the Re publican voters by their ballots declared M. S. Q lay to be their choice for United Slates Senator, and their wishes are cerUiuly entitled to consideration at the hands of Senator Weller. Mr. Stone had every opportunity to submit his name to the Republican voters of the district, but diJ not do so, and Sen ator Weller can not, therefore, claim to be representing bis constituents when he casts his ballot for bitn. The senti ment of the R publican voters of the district is stronger for Q Jay to-day than it has ever been, and, as an honest and honorable man, Senator Weller should respect it. The Philadelphia Press, which is now making a bitter fight against reg ular party rules and customs, must have a short memory. The Press and its chief patron Wanamaker bave a personal grievance agiinst Senator Q lay, but when some bolters out iu Otii a year ago were trying to defeat Senator M. A. Hanna, the regular cau cus candidate fr United States Sena .r, here is what the Press of January 1, IH'M, said about regularity, griev ances, etc: "Tne senatorial contest now proceed ing in Ohio involves a good deal more l ban the election or defeat of Mark Hanna. It concerns the honor of men and of parties and the right of candi dates to accept a trust under a distinct pledge, and then when elected to prove unfaithful to it. These are more im portant thsn the success of any man in Ibis instance or in any other contest. ' ' There may be private griev ances iu Ohio, of which the public know n tiling. But iiiili in no place for trievaiiifs. Party organization would be impossible if every man were to seek revetiire for what be conceived to lie his private wrongs. The place to have lought Mr. Hanna was in tlie State cou veniion of last year, and In-fore the Re-publii-an party bad endorsed him for Senator, or else through an opeu and in-tuly repudiation of the party declara tion. Ttist endorsement having been given and acisepted, it should uow le adhered to, aud the Republican name taved from the claim of perfidy aud dhrtaonor." "Some time ago Representative Har ris, of Clearlield county, who was in structed bv his constituents to vote for Colonel E. A. Irvin for United States Senator, declared that Colonel Irvin had released him. He is for Quay. It is now denied authoritatively that Mr. Harris was released from his obligation to vote for Colonel Irvin, and that be declared falsely w hen he said he bad been. Colonel Irvin is leiug voted for every day by other memhers, but Mr. Harris misrepresents bis c n stituents by voting for Mr. Q lay. It i such members that, tiring the Penn sylvania Legislature into disrepute." The above Pern is taken from the ed itorial coiumus of the Philadelphia Press of Saturday, the reeognized or gau of the bargain-counter statesmen, and the self-constituted conservator of the morals of the Republican party of the State. How does the Press square the con duct of Messrs. Koontz aud Kendall, the Representatives from this county, who, on every ballot so far taken, have voted against Senator Quay, with that of honorable men in view of the fact that at the primary election at which they were nomiuated a large majority of their constituents voted instructions for Senator Qiay, an ! the County Con vention that declared them the party nominees passed the following resolu tion by a unanimous vote? R'ttilr tt. That the candidal" for the Lk! lalure this day divlarvd no ninat.-d an? Ktrurt1 LoU'tettl! hoii'ir-iiMe mtiN u Knrure the r-s'l-!ion of Hid. Mult hew Stanley tuny to the United SJ it Heimle, in ReronUnee with the express:! desire of a nwjority of the Republican voters of tSomimet county. Representative Harris 8ys that Col onel Irvin told him that he was not a candidate and did not wish him, Har ris, to vote for him. The Press says that what Irviu says that what Harris said is uo"t trua. This raises a question of veracity that the Press is -f lite wil ling to settle. Rut no question of this kiud arises in the case of Messrs Koontz and Kendall. Every time they cast a vote a'rainst Senator Q tay they viola'e their instructions and misrepresent their constituents, yet the Press has none bat words of commendation for them. It makes all the difference iu the world whose os is gored. Qaay and iht Democrats. I'hila ielpiiia Inquirer. The auti Quay bureau at Harrisburg seems to be making itself obnoxious to the Deiuoe-rat by pointing the linger of suspicion at any one who will not declare from the housetops his intention of fusnig upon au independent Republican. For a Democrat to vot lor Quay, thry sy, wou'.d be evidence ot corruption ; hut for a Democrat to vote fora Republican whom Martin, Flion ami Wanamaker miybl pick out would be a shining tn irk if p pitical purity. Talk from anti-Quay sources about cor ruption should not carry any great weight with either members of the Legislature or with the public Only two years ago, in the Penrose fight, the only evidences of corruption produced were those against an anti- Penrose leader, and the same pol iticians or would-be politicians who were engaged iu that tight are engaged in the present one. It would be well to have a thorough house-cleaning before throwing out foolish and reckless statements con cerning the use of money and the buying of Viites. Quay is the regular candidate, and his forces remain solid because they believe in regularity and do not care to be classed as bolters. That he will gain recruit from tbn Republicans for these very rea sons we do Dot doubt. To continue this deadlock the bolters roust maintain their ranks intact and to win tbey must brng the Democrats in the Legislature to the support of one of their number. Compromises of such aTiatureare rarely satisfactory to either side, and we do Dot believe that as a party the Democrats will leDd themselves to any candidate born from the wedlock of personal spite and political hypocricy. Isn't it just possible, we ask these auti-Quay managers, if, when they undertake to vote the Demo crats in a body for some caudidato of this nature, there may not be some Demo crats and good and bout ones, too who might prefer Quay to Wanamaker inn? The Democrats have their own candi date, a-jd they are j-tk-king to him. But could they be voted in a body for anyone but a Democrat? Should it come to vot ing for Republicans, we very much doubt if any representative of the anti-Quay ele- menu could control tuetu all, for certainly a Democrat, if be is to vote fora Ilepub limn, baa a right to choose his Kt-pub-liru.

It looks rather odd to see republican representatives and senator;, who were rej;ulariy nominated in accordance with party form, and who owe their election to the loyalty of their rivals and of the reputJi. -an rank and fiieof their districts, stan din gout against the republican nom inee for senator, slaiply because it hap pens that the nominee is not the person whose success they desired. These reg ularly elected republican representatives seem to forget that the men whose bid ding they are carrying out are no longnr republicans, having done all they could to defeat the republican nominee for governor of the commonwealth as well as every representative who was believed to be friendly to Senator Quay. Ourown county furnishesasainple instance. There would have been do organized opposition to the republican nominees for assembly had not the word gone out from Philadel phia, Then the democrats and the pro hibitionists united and republicans euough j .ined them to elect the demo cratic candidate. These gentlemen were chosen by the enemies of the Republican party and they do what was expected of them when they register their ballots against Senator Quay. But regular Re publicans who join the guerrillas invite inevitable defeat for themsel v'es. Tbey declare that they will cot submit to the will of the majority and thus furnish reasons for the revolt of their constitu ents should they chance to be renomi nated. THE 15 AT7GURATI05. Fair Weather and a Big Crawl Usher in the Administration of Governor Stone. Tuesday, as the weather bureau had prophesied, was a fair day according to technical parlance, and nothing but the grip producing condition of the streets was there to interfere with the inaugura tion of William A. Stone as governor of Pennsylvania. Mr. Stone and his family arrived in Uarrisburg on Monday, lunched with governor Hastings, and the latter vacated the governor's tnausion that evening in favor of his successor. The inaugural coremonles and the fierce battle for the senatorship both contribut ed to draw large crowdsot people from all sections of the state, and loug before noou Tuesday the capital city was comforta bly (uncomfortably might le a bettor word ) crowded. At uoon, on the west side of the capitol, Ron. Win. A. Sume, in the presence of the legislature, state officials and a large crowd of others, took the oath of office, administered by Justice Heury W. Wil liams, of the supreme court of the state, and became Governor Wm A. Stone. He theu pronounced bis inaugural ad dress, a plain, straightforward, honest de liverance (found elsewhere in this issue) which, when carefully perused, will meet with approval from all honest Penn sylvanian9, of whatsoever party they may !.

Forgery wfcich netted about 120,000 is chaiged and the crime dates back' several years, although the disoovery was only made last March.

The Spanish auxiliary cruiser Giralda (formerly Mr. McCaluiont'a yacht) arrived here thi morning with the reputed ashes of Co lumbus on board, wbieb bad been trans ferred from the cruiser Coode de Venadi- to, on which tbey were brought from Havana. The municipal authorities took charge of the coffin on board. The Gi r-tlda fired a salute, to which the land bat teries replied, and the procession was then formed aud the coffin transferred to the celebrated Cathedral of Seville, which contains the tomb where the remains of Columbus were first deposited. The route to the cathedral from the wharf was thronged, troops and sailors being drawn up on each side of the way, The chapter of the Cathedral received the remains, which will lie in state unli finally placed in the vault. After another salute, the funeral service was celebrated iu the pretence of an enormous crowd. 'Wrong Kan Held Guilty. Kvaxsvillk, Ind , January 23.

Serious Problems in Porto Rico Wabhixoton, -lanuary 22. "If Poito Rico is to become a credit to the Cniud States," says Capt. Acgusttis P. Gardner, assistant adjutant general i, volunteers, in an interacting report to Assistant Sec retary of War Meiklej .hu upon the educa tional and other affairs of the Ulaud of Porto Rico, "and not a coutiaual thorn in her side, it is as certain an the rising of the sun tbat the work of reconstruction must be done by men of disinterested motives." In eolisideriiig, says Captain Gstdner, the various elements which go lo make up the social system of Porto Rico, the most worthy of a detailed examiuation is the method of education. It is on this branch that the fruits which it is hoped may be gathered in the future must all ripen. What purports to be a census of th island is taken every ten years, but the only one ever published, apparently, was tbatofl7. In this the ropulation was given at 806,709, of whom 111.3S0, or 1G per cent., could neither read nor write.' A comparison of these figures with those cf a so-called rectification of the census of 1S reveals a gross blunder somewhere, as, according to the returns for that year, 238,294, or over twice as many people as four years later, could neither read nor write. Captain Gardner says it is safe to aver age the number of schools in the island at 600 at the outside, of which less than forty are private or religious schools. Summarizing the situation as a whole, there exists ou the island a fairly goo 1 skeleton on which to construct a school system. The difficulty arises from the scarcity of competent aud reliable teach ers. With regard to the religious question. Captain Gardner says it does not appear that the inhabitants of the islaud have ever taken their religion with any degree of seriousness, probably owing to the fact tbat the church is regarded as one of the means by which Spain undertook to maintain her sovereignty on tbe islaud, aud to provide for the maintenance of such of her clergy as could uot be sup ported at borne. Concluding, the report says : "The re orcanization of all these various elements in the Porto Kican social system is an undertaking of enormous difficulty, the extent of which cannot be appreciated by any one who has not seen the difficulties attendant on establishing even a tempo rary modus vivendi. The task of simply making laws which will conform to American methods is simple. That can be done in Washington. The task of making laws which will conform to thoso of the United States, and yet will work In practice, is an undertaking fur the great est minds, the knowledge requisite for which can only lie gained on the spot. Taking it all in all, if the best men are not put to this undertaking, but the island is allowed to become a politic il pUythin?, the Porto Kican will be worse o'.f thau be was under Spain."

QUAY'S FRIENDS V FIRM ASA ROCK. iiialwart Republicans Stand by Tht-ir Partj's Candidate For United States Senator. THE I5SURCEST3 ARE DIVIDED. th.v Miffri- Xiiree Defeats and Despite the Most Rrvclattonarr Tactics Ja oujiiucilon With the Democrats They Tail to Ureak the Caucus Bound Lines. (Specla! Corres;ondenc.) Harrisburs. Jan. 24. The United States senatorial convention continues deadlocked, with the lines of Colonel Mi S. Quay, the Republican caucus nominee, unbroken. The loyally of the men ho are standing by the canaidate if the Republican party and also have resisted the onslaughts of the com bined forces of the Democracy and the Republican insurgents has command ed expressions of admiration from stalwart Republicans all over the com monwealth. Senator Quay has the SOP port of 113 of the Ki Republican mem bers of the general assembly, over two thirds cf his party's strength, and has come within 11 votes of the requisite number to nominate. The Democrats are united on George A. Jenks. the nominee of the Democratic caucus. He has been receiving his full party strength on every ballot. The 61 In dependent Republicans who have re fused to accept the candidate of their party are divided. They have scat tered their strength betwen Daizell of AUepher.y. Stewart of Franklin. Tubbs of Tlosa. Dowrimc of Erie. Grow of Susquehanna, Stone of Warren and one or two others who fcsve letn given complimentary votos. The friends of Senator Quay, confident cf their po sition, have no desire to foice the breaking of the deadlock at Ibis time. They are perfectly content to let mat ters drift as they are, as the Fentimfnt among the people is in favor of the elec tion of Senator Quay and against the puerrilla warfare made upon riim by disappointed politicians like Fllnn of Allegheny and Martin of Philadelphia, backed by the newspaper syndicate controlled by Wanamaker. Tl.is Oisgiunlkd outfit has mot with three crushing defeats since the sena torial fiht opened. Their first set back was In their attempt to prevent the holding of a Republican cmicus. Despite their opposition ato! threats the aucus uus culi.sl and Senator Quay was maJe the Republican nomi nee, receiving the unanimous vote of the caucus membership. 1 ." in all. Since then four additional Republicans have put themselves on record in the sena torial convention as accepting this ac tion as binding upon every Republican. The next defeat was in the attempt of Fliii'i. the autocratic, arrogant and bulldozing political boss of Pittsburg, to c:K-i'ize a rump senatorial conven tion to humiliate the Republican lieu tenant governor, that brave soldier.

Flinn called the kicking Republicans and the Demo crats together and organized a meet ing with Bliss of Delaware, a bolting Republican, as chairman, and Dlrron, a Democrat, secretary. They then niade bitter rpeeches attacking General Gobln, but after they had gotten to their sober Fenses they came to the conclusion that their revolutionary pro ceedings would avail them nothing. They could net elect a candidate for United States senator In such a conven tion. They would be without stan.lins before the United States senate. They finally concluded to get back into the tegular body, and there they have been ever since. Their third defeat was In a com bination between Democrats and the ninn-Martin senatorial rir.g, to pre vent the confirmation of Governor Stone's nomination of John P. E:kin. chairman of the Republican slate com mittee, for attorney general. More than two-thirc's of the senators, however, refused to take orders from .this com bine and Chairman Klkin was con firmed. These defeats have all servej to weaken the forces against Senatoi Quay. The friends of the S"nior sena tor are also elated over the fact that I hey knocked out the Wan.imaker rchenie for fusion with the Democrats to elect a bolting Republican to the spetkership of l.e house.

His ene- : mies cannot unite upon any other can- j didate. i "Attorney Watson, by his argument. 1 clearly demonstrated that there was ! r.othing in the indictments against him.. He proved that the indictments were ; r'ocured merely to influence votes ugainst him. Even those against him co net now name these cases as a reason for withholding their support, and the commonwealth dare not try them, and will not until the contest f ( r the senatorship is over. "As a soldier, as a national chairmsn. cs a United States senator, he deserves ttetter treatment than he Is receiving, and a reaction of public sentiment has taken place In his favor. I quarrel with no man who opposes him. It Is h's right to do so, but I cannot Join In tLis hue and cry, because I believ, from close observation during the pas. fight years in congress, that be Is honest and able, and entitled by his long service to re-election, and I be lieve a majority of the legislature will come ere Ions; to that conclusion.

There has been a systrratic as sault made upon some cf the most rep resentative Democrats with a view to driving them into line v, ith the Watia-makt-r-Gordon syndicrt?.
