Axelec'jon for State Senator to fill
t lie vacancy occasioned by tbe resigna
ion of General (Libia will be held in
Lebanon county Saturday. There are
but two candidates in the field and the
battle Is being fought squarely on the
Quay and anti-Quay issue. Both sides
claim to be confident of winning.
Senator Stewart has succeeded in
his ambition to get a third terra from
Xivada. The Senator, originally elect
ed as a Republican, was an active mem
bsrof the convention that nominated
Rryan. lie is noted for his devotion to
silver, except in his private contracts,
which stipulate that payment must be
made in gold.
The senatorial deadlock is still on at
Harris!. urg, with uo indications of its
lieing brokcu in the near future, al
though tbe unexpected is liable to bap
pen at any time. There was.no mate
rial change on any of the ballots taken
tiince our last issue. On Saturday and
M onday there were not enough metn-
tiers present to constitute a Quorum,
the Democrats and their assistants, tbe
bolting Republicans, having agreed to
absent themselves fro in these two ses
sions. Representative Koovtz still con
tinues to cast his ballot for John Stew
art for United States Senator. He
resembles the Berks county Democrat
who votes for Andrew Jackson at each
needed ing presidential election. He
voted for Stewart in liS2 and has been
keeping it up ever since. A poll of
the Republican vote of the county
would likely disclose that about one in
very one thousand favors the election
of John Stewart to the United States

b representing the sentiments of his
constituents.
Is accordance with Governor Roose
velt's suggestion that women I given
a more active voice in educational
matters, a bill is to be introduced in
the Albany Legislature that at least
one woman shall be appointed on

towns of the State, This reform is
bound to come, aud the sooner it is a
fact the better it will be for the cause
of education. Women are as vitally
interested in the question cf education
as men, and they are much better in
formed as to the Deeds of ehildrec.
Furthermore, they would be a check
in the control of the schools by potii U
one reason why their employment
on school boards has been persistently
opposed by tbe political element.

Mr. J. J. Hoblitzell made his canvass

and untruthful. Mr. ll)blitz:ll was a

What a spectacle f u tbe Republicans of
other States to look at. What an example
to set the Republicans of other States.
Because these fifty perverse Republicans
cannot have tbeir choice in caucus they
threaten to disrupt the Republican party
in tbe State, the party that has done more
to advance the State's materia! prosperity
than any that ever exi-4eL These men
are selfish. Hi -y are Kiiigle-niinded and
narrow, and being in control of the situa

picture tbe Republican rtvalcitrants are
presenting to the nation, at a time when
there should be harmony everywhere.
The minority never ruled the majority,

reversed. The will of the majority will

The Senatorjbip.
Ia an article on "The Senatorial Fights,
the New York Tribune, after giving
resume of the existing condition of
affairs in States which have not vet elect
ed Senators, says :
"The ditisting performance in Dela
ware may end in a vacancy. The charge
of corruption in CaJi ornia may possibly
prevent an election. S.iccessof Rapubl
cans is still prevented by strife lietween
candidates anil their friends iu Nebraska,
Was' iiiffton and Wisconsin, and by the
t:jht against Quay in Pennsylvania.
bate dispatches show eff;rt to elect
Republican agreeable to Rryan in Ne
braska, which would probably mean uiis
chief. Nothing forbid agreement of Re
publicans in at least three of tbse States
except personal rivalres, but these might
be pushed so far and so recklessly as to
endanger tbe succeHS of any Ri-pnblican,
It is surely proper to appeal to the good
en.e and patriotic feielingof Republicans
in all these Stales to put an end as quick
ly as possible to wrangles which are lia
ble to have such a result. With questions
of the highest importance pending, with
tbe Administration looking to the next
Senate for support in securing the best
results cf the war in settling wiJely vary
ing issues growing out of it. Republicans
may certainly be expected to realize that
-Ht is no time to sacrifi!e great National
interests and the interests of their party
iu fighting to promote the ambition of
any individual. With a sound mouey
Republican from Wisconsin, only three
more would be needed to give a majority
on all issues. But it is not to be forgotteu
that the same Democratic leaders who
turned over their votes to the silver men
iu order to get their aid in beating certain
Republican measures, are now control!
ing the Democratic forces with eviil
intention to aeieat A a niLiiiruoa iucas
ores of tbe highest iuipoit:iU-e by a simi
lar bargain. How many or what silver
men could be drawn into such a barter it
is not possible to say. If a Republican
satisfactory to Rryan should be chosen in
Nebraska, and a Republican from Penn
sylvania apt to turc against his party on
some questions, tbe chances of such
barter would be much improved. Ter
sonai fighting for tbe ambition of indi
viuuais or tbe advantage of a minority
faction sf Republicans ia uot to be excus
ed. While tbe most stubborn resistance
to those ho are not faithful to Republi
can principles or are shown to be respon
sibie for corrupt acts cannot be censured,
the men who fight for personal gain
against tbe wili of the majority, at the
risk of Republican success, can deserve
nothing trom their party."

WAKTS EECOOimOI AT WiSKIKSTOir.
Scoor Agoneiilo. the representative of
Aguinaldo ia Washington, sent a com-
uuication to Secretary Hay Tuesday of
ast week urging the necessity of his rec
ognition. He says circnnistauces -nave
brooglit the mo -ountries to the edge of
war." aud that a disclaimer on the part of
tbe American government of any lnten-
ion to attack tbe liberties and indepen
dence of the Philippine islands would
have a qquieting, reassuring etfijct upon
the minds of his ooontrymen.
In his coinmuoi'-atiou, Senor Don
Felipe Agoneiilo calls attention to the
fact that on January 11 he addressed a
lptter to bim upon tbe question of recog
nition, forward iug with it a memoran
dum demonstrating that according to all
American precedents the Philippine re
public was entitled to recognition, and
in th same letter invited tbe attent'on of
the secretary to tbe present strained con
ditions at Manila, where overaeal on
either side might create a condition re
sulting in grievous loss of life, and urg-
i&g the necessity of an early and frank
communication between the representa
tives of the two countries. Ue further
calls attention to the fact that since bis
letter was written the very circumstances
be feared have brought the two countries
to the verge of war, and says that the
language nse.1 by him was so prophetic
that subsequent facts have amply justi
fied iu employment
AMERICA'S WARLIKE PREPARATIONS.
He now desires to call the attention of
tbo secretary to certain conditions which.
in Uis opinion, require immediate all evi-
ation. There are, he says, at tbe present
tirus 20,KK) American troops at Manila,
vntrolling a population of about 300,000.
A number of war vessels are stationed
in the harbor, and many other American
men-of war and transports are to be
found within the archipelago, although
the actual possession of the American
troops exteuds over not to exceed one
hundred and forty-three square miles out
of more than two hundred thousantL"
Despite the enormous forces now in this
extremely circumscribed area, "we are
informed through tbe public prints that
other vessels or war nave oeen oruerra
- i i
from distant parts of the globe to rein
force those now anions the islands in
question, while a few days ago a trans
port sailed from New York city carrying
about 2,000 soldiers aud having M lila as
iu ddHiintlion, and, as we are further in-
fur ned. regimeuts of troops are under
orders to proceed by way of San Fran
ci-io to tiirt Philippines. The public
prints inform us also that an attack is
on'.emplatei upon the Philippines ; tbe
islands to be taken in deUil, the smaller
ones first, the larger ones blockaded so
they may not assist those first attacked."
He says that it is naturally tbe impres
sion of his government and people that
these warlike preparations indicate exist
ing or immediate military operations iu
the Orient, and they readily conceive
that it must be contemplated that such
operations are to be aimed at the existing
government of the Philippines.
NO REASON KOR A COSPI.ICT.
"As the representative of tbe Philip
pine government," he continues, 4-I bei
tale to give admission to this idea, for I
eannot believe that there is rny prospect
of future difficulty between the American
and Philippine gnvernmenu justifying
warlike activities, and, as a believer in
tbe humanity of the American people,
refuse to acnu?esM in the idea that the
American designs were upon tbe Philip
pine islauds."
He points out the fact that bnt lately
the United States and the Philippine
government have been associated in
conflict against a common enemy, th
United States accomplishing its purpose
by the expulsion of Spain from the West
Indies, while the desire of tbe Philippine
republic has beeu practically attained by
tbe almost complete expulsion of tbe
Spanish government from the Philippine
islands, the Philippine government now
holding a prisoners of war between 9.000
and 10,000 Spanish soldiers, aud tbe
Spanish p Ksessing only a few small gar
risons in isolated poicU of minor impor
tance.
lie is mereiore unable to conceive any
reason why the armies and navies of tbe
United Suites, lately employed against a
e rtinion enemy, should be turned against
America's recent associate.
The United States, he &ays, has no act
ive enemy in the Orienuhaving proclaim
ed an armistice with Spain. It is true, he
continue, that Spain has undertaken to
crmvey to the United States its alleged
claim against the Philippines, a claim
which Spain was not capable of enforcing
and which never found its origin In the
oonseat of tbe people of those islands.
He iii'i'iires, "Are my government and
people to be left to suppose that it is be
cause of some desire on tbe part of the
American government to enforce against
its la'e associate this exploded claim that
the Uaited SUts is masking its forces at
the late capital of the Philippine
islands?"
Hi point out that the Philippine
islands are in a sUte of order, possessing
a government satisfactory to their in
habita-its and without an enemy within
their borders ollering any resistance to
its operations, snd are at peace wtth air
the world.
General Gobia Speaks.
IlARRisnt'HO, Jan. 3V. The appoint
ment of a committee -by tbe caucus of
Democratic Senators and members to in
quire into General Oobiu's right to pre
side st the joint assembly of tbe Senate
and House has excited much interest
among the Legislators aud politicians at
i be State Capital. General Gobin claims
tbe office of brigadier-general of the vol
unteer is not incompatible with that
of I.ieutenaut Governor. In an interview
this evening be said :
"Tbe question of what constitutes an
otSce ia the contemplation of tb9 Consti
tution has been under consideration for
some time. That section in our State pro
vides that 'no member oi Congress or per
sou holding any office under the United
Stales shall exercise tbe office of Gover
nor or Lieutenant Governor.' It baa been
held tbat framers of tbe Constitution bad
uot in contemplation a prohibition as to
officers com missioned in a volunteer army
which is not a permanent institution
and could not be provided for in a con
stitution. It is tbe result of an emergency.
No one can tell when it may occur or how
long it may last. No com mission is issued
or appointment is made unless the emer
gency exists. The prohibition was etr
tainly intended to apply to permanent
otliees or positions and inamiliUry sense
to commissioned officers of tbe Regular
Army. This is the conseusus of opinion
of able lawyers who have oousidered the
question.
"This is also in substance tbe opinion
of tbe Attorney-General of the United
States in tbe case of Colonel Grigsby, of
South Dakota, and in tbe case of tbe col
lector of the port of Buffalo. Both opin
ions sustain this contention fully.
"A misapprehension evidently exists as
to tbe pay of a volunteer officer on leave.
An officer is entitled to a certain number
of days leave in a year and the year is
computed from the first of June. I have
already had thirty days leave, and am
not drawing any pay from tbe United
States as a brigadier-general, being absent
on leave without pay. Nor would I, if I
returned to duty, accept pay from the
State while drawing it from the Govern
ment." '

Laramie, Wyo., January 22. "Tankee
Ted," who has been known as the "cow
boy dude," iu tbe Sweetwater country by
reason of bis partiality for r.eckties of va
rious kinds aud hues, is credited with an
escape from the county jail cf Sweetwa
ter in a remarkable aud curious manner.
Ted's method of diversion when he
came to Laramie after tbe round tips was
in tbe purchase ot neckwear, and be has
been known to depart for the range coun
try from 210 to 300 neckties richer on va
rious occasions. Receutly the cowboy
was arrested for misappropriating cattle
and lodged in the Sweetwater jsil uutil
the grand jury should raee', in default of

was tbat his neckties should be allowed
to keep him company, and they were
brought iu from his range headquarters
by some companions. It is estimated tlmt
the boxes thus Uken into tbe cell con
tained some MX) ties the styles ranging
from the latest liows to four-in - hands.
Ted's ceil was in the third story of the
jail, and the warden was considerably
surprised the other morning, on going to
the back of the bu'.ldiug, to find a rope of
gaudily colored foiir-in hv.)ds d:i!;g!ing
from the window of tbe cowboy's ctll.
Investigation showed tbiit he had forced
two of the liars at the window, woven a

Tbe only wonder expressed in the

most disgraceful tactics by the Wan
umakerites Senator Quay's forces hn"
remained intact is moct gratifying to
his friends. The senior senator has
not been here to give personal attention
to the direction of his canvass. He has
been down in Washington lookir.g after
the interests of his constituents. Ther?
are a number of matters before the
appropriation committee demanding
his attention. He is not the least con
cerned about the outcome of the fight.
He is satisfied that be will be re-elected
at the proper lime. The deadlock is
continued by the bolting Republican
refusing to accept the nominee of th
caucus of the Kepublican party. Sen
ator Quay. Th-y will not go to lh
Democrats, and the Democrats will not
lake up any of the candidates who have
been voted for by the bolters. The sit
uation rhows 113 stalwart Republicans
for Senator Quay. S6 Democrats fur
George A. Jenks. the Democratic cau
cus nominee, and J2 holtin ' Republi
cans scattering their votes among
seven or eignt candidates. The bolters
can never name the winner. Senator
Quay's friends have control of the sit
uation, so that it must be either Colo
nel Quay or some Republican his
friends may agree upon, thould he not
be able to get the necessary number of
votes. But it is reasonably certain
that Senator Quay will be his own suc
cessor. The tactics of th,- Wanamnk.T agents
are arousing a feeling of disgust
among all fair minded citizens in Ihe
stale. Th? newspapers that are con
trolled by the Wanamaker advertise,
inents are made the mediums by which
the must sh.M-kins misstatements af
fecting Senator Quay and his friends
are printed daily. Some of these pa
pers have leased their entire last pages
under two years' contracts to Wana
maker at prices ranging from J'.u.OOO
to 175.000 a ytar. Their poiitii al nev.s
columns are now abeoluiely controlled
by the Wanamaker political news bu
reau. Comimiittiig on this phase of
the canv-5?, ftr.ator Mitchell today
taid:
"A more despicable and hypocritical
campaign than that being waged
against S-Vnator Quay Is not known to
hioiy. It is made up of falsehoods
and maliiious charges, the outgrowth
of personal si ite and disappointed am
biiion. The headquarters of this com
bination of deceit, treachery and over
uh. 'niing self importance Is in one of
the Hairisburg hotels, the same bead
j Quaners from which issued the only
i scam!;. I cf the Penrose campaign, when
j one of th? chief promoters of Wana
I n.akTism was hauK d into court on a
! charge of luib-ry. It Is needle's to
say that tne same notorious inoivuiuai
is connected with the present man
agemt nt.
"The anti-Quay movement l as b. en
halted and is powcrh ss. It has done
the very worst thnt it can do. It has
fraihered In the rag tag and bobtail of
Wanamakerism end malice and has
icoiK cieu, in auuiiion.
Republicans, who. for
capable of lucid expln
collected. In addition, a. few respectable
r some reason in-
anation. have rut
themsilves loose temporarily, let us
hope from the Republican party an 1
have become bolters. This array of
bolters has reached its limit of strength
and can d-feat Quay only by voting di-r'-ctly
for a Democrat. To account for
tlicir failure the managers have in
augurated a bureau ot political false
hoods, and night a'tei' night the most
barefaced lies are sent out through the
Wanamaker newspapers. It must be
a hot iron in the flesh of newspapers
that want to be honest to have these
falsehoods thrown at ihem. and yet
they dare not reject them. The yoke
of Wanamakerism Is Iron bound, and
even tbe reckless Inventions of the
past few days had to lie gulped down
by ihe shcniflrss organs which sed
their independence for the fev paltry
dollars that a Wanamaker advertise
ment brings them."
The wild ravings of political malice
on Friday took the fo-m of the dis
covery of a plot to elect Quay, the mail
point of which was that' pairs were to
le Ignored and Quay was to be rushed
through in the absence of his encir.Us.
It was absolute! absurd on its face,
f.ir the Quay !ad rs had all left town,
but absurdity is without effect upon
men who de'iberately fit down to in
vent falsehoods and sensations, anj
yet the organs had to print the yarn
r.iu father it and again cringe in faith
ful servility before their practical own
