.' PRAISE FOR PENROSE. A. Suggestion of Pennsylvania's I Young Senator For National i Chairman. HE IS NOT A CANDIDATE. Senator Sullivan, Democrat, ui Senator Woleott, Republican, Pablidy Declare For tit Seating of Colonel Quay y tha TJiiied State Senate. (Special Correspondence-) Harrlsburg. Not. 21- The fact that United States Senator Boles Penrose yesterday left for Washington, where lie will establish headquarters for the winter session of congress, ha moved the seat of political activity, as far as the seating of Colonel Quay Is concern ed, to the national capital. Senator Pen rose has been a conspicuous figure in the public eye during the last ten days owing to the. mention of his name la connection with the chlnnanshlp of the Republican national committee to succeed Senator Hanna. A number of leading newspapers throughout the country have had very complimentary mention of the young and popular sen ator from Pennsylvania in this con nection. The New YorkTribune. that stalwart Republican organ, has been one of the most persistent in present ing arguments In favor of the selection of an active and progressive young Re publican to fill the responsible post of national chairman for the coming cam paign and has boomed Penrose as its first choice. The fact has been referred to that Senator Penrose has made many friends among the Influential Republicans of both the senate and the bouse at Washington, and that he could count upon the hearty co-operaton of all elements of the party In lining up the Republican hosts for the presi dential canvass. iTKINLET AND PENROSE. While appreciating these very flat tering references to himself. Senator Penrose has announced that he Is not an aspirant for the party leadership In the coming canvass and that he will be entirely satisfied to work for the renomination and the re-election of President McKinley in the ranks of the Republican organization. The close personal relations which exist between the president and Senator Penrose have been frequently commented upon by correspondents of newspapers out side of the borders of Pennsylvania, le nator Penrose, it will be recalled, was the first of the party leaders in the state to publicly declare In favor f Major McKlnley's nomination for president, and throughout his adminis tration there have been few more wel come visitors at the White House. It Is pleasing to the friends of the bril liant young Pennsylvania senator that his strong personality and Lis many admirable qualities should be recog nized by leading Republicans of the country, cad especially by the presi dent The suggestion of Senator Penrose, among others, for the national chair manship was prompted b the report that Senator Hanna wished to be re lieved of the executive work of the coming campaign, though he would be of course deeply interested in the suc cess of the canvass. It Is not Improb able that Senator Hanna will again be Induced to lead the fight for President McKinley, and if he does It is safe to predict that he will leave nothing un done to get out the Republican vote In every state st the union, j A DEMOCRAT FOR QTJAT. ! The last week has brought a number of the national 'leaders of both parties to Washington to be ready for the opening of congresa. Naturally Penn sylvaniana are Interested in the opin ions of the members of the senate upon the question of what action will be taken upon Governor Stone's certlfi cate of appointment of Colonel Quay to the vacancy in the senate from this state. i United States Senator W. V. Sullivan, 'of Mississippi, has arrived In Wash ington and will remain there until the opening of congress. Senator Sullivan is a member of the national Demo cratic executive committee and stands high in the councls of his party. It will be recalled that his affirmative vote in the senate last winter saved the peace treaty from defeat. In convers ing upon the queston of the appoint ment of Colonel Quay Senator Sullivan aid: i "I heartily favor the seating of Sen ator Quay, of Pennsylvania, on the strength of his credentials of appoint ment by Governor Stone. "As a Den ocrat. I believe la abiding by party rules, and unless a caucus of Democratic senators decides against supporting Senator Quay, which action I think is decidedly improbable. I shall certainly record my vote In his favor. "1 have a great admiration for his wonderful abilities, and I do not be lieve that he has been Justly treated by bis poiitiial enemies in Pennsylva nia. In fact, I am Inclined to think that he has been the victim of bitter perseoutioB, and I for one will be glad to aid in his vindication. ' Senator S illiv&n's views are shared by many other Democratic senators, and it can b asserted on excellent au thority that no Democratic caucus that may . be called will adopt any resolu tion Inimical to Senator Quay. THE ELOQUENT WOLCOTT SPEAKS There Is no stronger personality in the senate than Senator Woleott. of Colorado. He li the finest orator la either branch-of congress, and is a power on tin Republican side. Presi dent McKinley has shown confidence in his abilities by appointing him one of tht commissioners to go abroad and secure, if possible, en international agreement on the subject of bimetal lism, and his report on the work of the commission was an able and states man Irk e document. j Senator Woleott did not hesitate to give his views' regarding the right of Colonel Quay to a seat In the senate on rOovernor Stone's credentials. He expressed himself ia his usual positive and straightforward manner. "1 have very little to say on that sub ject," said Senator Woleott, "but I want to state Ttght here that I care nothing at all abrt senatorial pre cedents. I shall take the greatest pos sible pleasure in voting to seat Sena tor Quay. I am familiar with his dis tinguished services In the past, and I think the country needs him. When asked 4or--hia views concern ing the recent state elections through out the country Senator Woleott said: "The general result of the elections is to make certain'' the renomination end re-election of President McKinley. Whatever the, . rose- may have been ia the far western states it was not a vic tory for-aaU-lmperialism. but a dis--t'not personal triumph for Mr. Bryan. .To. my mlnd.lt is evident that Bryan . . will be renominated upon a platform which will stand for anti-imperialism la the east and 16 to 1 in the wet" ' SENATOR HOAR'S POSITION. There Is nothing in the way of pre cedent In the Quay ease that neeJ bother aay one. If these election cases had Invariably been settled en their merits there would be something in precedent to follow, but every one knows that as a rule they have not been so settled. Seating a senator on merit means that the constitution of the United States shall decide. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, is absolutely right In his analysis of the constitu tion. Mr. Hoar is a conservative man altogether too conservative, perhaps, to be thoroughly in touch with the ac tivities of modern progress but he has always beea a careful student of lie constitution, end there U no great er siictier in ail congress -pou con stitutional points. In his opinlnon the constitution does not contemplate leav ing a seat vacant in the senate. For that reason a governor Is given the power to appoint if for any reason whatever a vacancy occurs, the inten tion of the constitution being that the states shall always have their full rep resentation. Mr. Hoar will vote for Colonel Quay as he has voted io simi lar cases heretofore, and If the Quay case were to be decided strictly accord ing to his contraction of the constitu tion there would be no vacancy la Pennsylvania. The trouble has been that In decid ing election cases partisanship has usually controlled. It is either a ques tion of party politics or else some ques tion like silver has divided the votes. The recent cases la the west, from Montana and Washington, were decid ed, not oa their merits, but from party policies. There Is nothing in prece dent established only through partisan motives that need cause any trouble for Colcsel Quay's friends. The Interviews with Senators Sul livan and Woleott have been telegraph ed to the principal newspapers of the country, and with these pronounced tentiments coming from representa tives of both political parties, there have been many editorials from Re publican and Democratic editors pre dicting the prompt seating by the sen ate of the former Republican national chairman upon the governor's commission.

Philadelpnialnsurgent Leader Gets a Bad Setback. L W. DUEHALI WINS OUT. WarumakerUm ia Its Latest Form, Thonga Eecent Defeats Have Bees Very Disap point in 2 and Demoralizing. (Bpsrtal Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Nov. 21. Another evi dence of the fact that the old Martla combine, wclca was for years in con trol of public affairs and the Republi can organization In this city, la no longer potential was given this week when a large majority of the Republi can members of common council united la signing a pledge to vote for the election of George McCurdy for pres ident of that body. Mr. McCurdy is a progressive Philadelphlan who follows the leadership of Israel W. Durham, and who has no time for the Martin outfit. He is a stalwart Republican, has no sympatuy with the insurgents, and was one of the most active of the young Republicans who brought about the election of Samuel H. Ashbridge as mayor. The position of president of common council Is a very influential one. and it has long been an asset ia the political combination of which Mar tin was the acknowledged leader. Since Martin has Joined hands politically with the Wanamaker-Fllnn-Hastings combine In state politics be has beea steadily losing ground in this city. The signing of the pledge for McCurdy means his success in the Republican caucus, and nothing can prevent his election. Having lost the mayor and now los ing the president of councils. Martin is practically put out of business. Martin, who became immensely wealthy through his leadership of the Republican organization in tais city, U now posing as a statesman. With Flinn. of Allegheny, and Hastings, of Centre, both of whom have also mad 9 big fortunes since they entered poll tics. Martin has tied his political fu ture to the Wanamaker personal ad vancement movement, of which the people of Pennsylvania have had some experience during the last few years. Wanamaker un has not had a popu lar boom In the Keystone state. But with a determination characteristic of me ncn man witn political ambitions to satisfy, the warfare upon the Repub lican organization is to be kept up. BOLTERS' LATEST MOVE. The Wanamaker-Martln-Fllnn insur gents lave drawn up a memorial to the United States senate, protesting against the seating of Colonel Quay upon Gov ernor Stone's certificate of appoint ment. They were unable to carry out their project in the legislature to elect en insurgent or even a Democrat to the United States senate that is, any body but Colonel Qtfj. They were overwhelmingly beaten afterward In the canvass for delegates to the Re publican state convention, the vote be ing nearly five to one against them. When the friends of Colonel Quay in the convention nominated Colonel Bar nett. and they opened the insurgent and Democratic batteries of personal abuse upon this gallant soldier, they were lgnominousiy routed by the peo ple at the polls. BARXETT'S BIG MAJORITY. ' General Reeder, who as chairman of the Republican committee managed the late contest, was in town this week when the official returns were received from Harrisburg. He was naturally pleased with the figures. Barnett's of ficial plurality was 110.488. For the first time in three cam paigns was the Republican target of the insurgent and Democratic guns given a clear majority of all the votes cast at the election. Mr. Beacom, the candidate for state treasurer in 1S97; Colonel Stone, the nominee for governor last year, and Colonel Har nett, the Republican candidate this fall, were each subjected to scandalous assaults from this insurgent cabal. Al though they were all elected, in 1897 Beacom, of all the votes cast at that election, was in the minority by 10,169. Though Colonel Stone won in his fight for the governorship, he lacked 19.303 of having a majority of the votes polled at that election. But then, after the Insurgents' exhibition of party treachery in bolting the Repub lican caucus on the United States sen atorshlp in the legislature, and their continued disloyalty in opposing the Republican candidate for state treas urer, and espousing the causeof Creasy, a Bryanlte, the Republicans of Penn sylvania elected Colonel Barnett state treasurer and gave him a majority of 9.922 over the combined votes of the Democratic, Prohibitionist and Pop ulist and Union Reform party candi dates, with the insurgent vote for Creasy, Democrat, thrown in. After this emphatic rebuke from the Republican voters the Insurgents, or at least their selfish leaders, who knew only personal politics, set out again to have an organized fight against the Republican organization and with a purpose to unite with any party or faction to elect their candidates for the legislature where they are defeated in Republican conventions. THE FOX AND THE EDITOR. These Insurgents make a great ado In Wanamaker newspapers, but when it comes to getting the votes of the peo ple they cut a small figure. Apropos of these full page advertise ments in certain Philadelphia news papers and the similarity of the po litical reports In their news columns, this story of the "Fox and the Editor" made interesting reading in the Even ing Call: An editor sat at bis desk with compressed lips, flashing eyes, all the while dipping his pen in galL A fox perching himself on the window sill thus began: "You are working yourself Into a frenzy these days over politics. What is up?" "What is up!" exclaimed the editor. Everything is up. Reform, everything to destroy the Repub lican organization, and - cash plenty of it. too." "I thought you editors worked only for the good of the people," replied the fox. "So we do!" shouted the editor, "when the good of the people Is Our good." Oh. I see." said the fox. with a merry twinkle in his eye; "your selves first the people last" "Of course, of course." rejoined the editor, with a lordly flourish of his pen. "Business is business. I work for cash, whether for re form or any other old thing. Go In for what pays, is my motto. And so long as the people are not on to my game it works like charm." "And that is the reason Just now," continued the fox, "why you are writing with might and main to wreck the Republican or ganization. It pays." "Now you've hit It square," re plied the editor, with an approv ing smile. "Do you suppose I am foolish enoagb to write anything my leading advertisers would not approve? If you think so, go chase yourself. Mr. Fox." "But. persisted the fox, "yon claim to be a Republican ?" "So I am. or was, or expect to be, but I never lose sight of my cash drawer. Money makes the mare go in this business as well as ia every .other." replied the editor. "You see I am very frank with yon," "Yes. more frank with me than with your readers." said the fox, with a malicious smile. "My readers cannot object to re- -form in poIiUce." replied the editor with a sarcastic gvin. "Under the guise of reform I can help lick the Republican organization, put cash In my drawer and be a political leader myself. It's a great game I am playing tails I. win and heads the people lose. See?" "But you won't win," replied tht fox." "Why not? "Because the people are alrendy oa to rour game." laughed the fox. "You iei..d me of my own expe rience last night, I was sitting by a hencoop praying, with one eye open on a fat hen lnade. The farmer came upon me. 'What are you do ing here? he asked. 'It's strange, said I. that a fellow can't spend a few moments la silent prayer with out being disturbed.' But the far mer, quick as a flash, shied a club at me and locked the door of the coop." Ibe editor lined his Inkstand with a sudden movement, but the !oi was nowhere to be seen. A Haise la Salary. Some years ago Collis 1. Hunting ton's private secretary, Mr. Miles, ask ed for an increase of salary. Io you need any more money?" asked Mr. Ilettiugtou thoughtfully. "No. sir. 1 lu't exactly mod it," re plied Mr. Mil., "but, still. I'd be glad to be getting a little more." "Ah huui-ui-m." mused his employ er. "Can you get along without the advance for the present?" "Oh. yes." answered the secretary. "I guess so," and the matter was drop ped. A coup'e of years later a new loy ap peared at the Miles home, and the sec retary thought the time propitio3 to lenew the ap:licaiiou. "Why. my dear dr." said Mr. Huntington when he heard hiui through. "I raised your sal ary wheu you asked me before." "I never heard anythiug about It," said the secretary in amazement. "Probably not," returned Mr. Hunt ington. "In fact. 1 used that money to buy a piece cf proiierty for you. I'd Just let It stand for awhile If I were you." Mr. Miles thanked hiui warmly and retired somewhat ruystifled. Shortly after Mr. Huntington called him Into his private office. "By the way. Miles," Le said, "I Lave sold that real estate of yours at a pretty good advance. Here In the check." The amount was $G0.0C0.

When a youngster I was homeward bound from a"t Anna with a cargo of mahogany, and when off Cape Cam neche was one calm afternoon leaning over the taffrail, looking down into the blue profound, on the watch for fish, wltes a world wide traveler.

At night, when there Is no wiud, the sonorous spash Is constantly to be heard, al though why they make that batlike leap out of their proer elemeut Is not easy to understand.
