HOW TO ACCOMPLISH IT. the Ilmrrr Mateamaa Wlahea k ltepnlillraa 1'artr Tak a P Itlon Which Will laaare aa la mediate Onportnaity r nil Srcr-ft Itallot. (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, June 12. Col. M. S. Quay has once more done exactly what his political opponents preferred that he Mould not do. He has placed his ene mies again on the defensive. The Beaver statesman has come out in a sweeping public declaration In faror of ballot reform, for personal reglstra tion in the cities, and for a constltU' tional convention to be held at the earliest possible date, to make such changes In the fundamental law of the commonwealth as shall be deemed nec essary to accomplish the proposed re forms. Since the publication of Col, Quay's uttorance upon this subject the insurgents have attempted to question tho sincerity of his position, but the immediate and conclusive answer to their partisan talk lies In the fact that Col. Quay proposes that the people themselves shall determine the issue, and that the solution of the problem of ballot reform shall not be left to the whims of a state legislature, but that the people shall have an opportu nity to vote upon the question and se lect representatives who shall be chosen for the special purpose of car rying out the reforms contemplated. COL. QUAY'S STATEMENT. This is what Senator Quay has to say over his own signature in a state ment w hich he prepared at Mountville, Lancaster county, on the farm of his ion, Major A. G. C. Quay: "The existing ballot law and its amendments were favored by the Ballot Reform association, were supported by all political parties, were passed by a Republican legis lature and signed by a Democratic governor. If they are bad the re sponsibility for them appears to be pretty evenly divided. The sim ple truth is that, so far as secrecy of the ballot is concerned, they are as near an approach to the ideal Australian ballot as can be made by the legislature under our con stitution. "Taking a very low view of It, the Republican party stands for a pure ballot everywhere. In Penn sylvania there could be no motive on the part of the dominant party to encourage or permit any perver sion or suppression of the popular -will, for the reason that the popu lar will Is overwhelmingly Repub lican, and its fair and full expres sion, according to law, Is all that ran be desired. Immediately after tho enactment of the Baker law and its approval by Governor Pat tison the Republican state conven tion declared that If the law should be found insufficient to insure fair elections the Republican party stood pledged to amend the consti tution so as to provide for a more complete and satisfactory reform. RADICAL CHANGE DEMANDED. "The law has now been tested by experience, and it has been shown that grent abuses are possible un der it. The dibability clause can not be enforced against a constitu tional provision authorizing a voter to take another into the booth to attest his ticket, and this facilitation of vote buying and in timidating, together with our loose registration, constitute an election system which does not commend itself to the people of the state and which has become the subject of general complaint. The system should be radically changed. The constitution should be so amend ed as to allow compulsory personal registration in cities, and a secret ballot which cannot be Influenced against the will of the voter. To this change, as already said, the . Republican party stands pledged by Its platform of 1893. "The amendments passed by the last legislature, vetoed by the gov ernor, and which if again passed by the legislature will be submitted to the people, are subject to many chances in the long process requir ed to put them In the constitution, and especially when they are not mandatory, but only permissive, and must depend upon the disposi tion of future legislatures for prop er laws to effect the reforms which they allow, but do not command. They involve considerable expense, with no certainty whatever of def inite results, even after their adop tion, and the passage of many years. It was probably with some such views that the governor sought to arrest them, and give the people of the commonwealth time to consider some more practical and effective method of reaching , the desired result. "If this chauge in the election laws of the state be really desired by the people the sooner It is ef fected the better. "If it can be accomplished quick ly, surely and radically by a consti tutional convention and by a con- MimiIiI Smi "nllrr o Acuta lor Fifty Times It I'rirr.

Ututlonal convention only which hall be called and the members chosen for the express purpose. I take It that when a reform and certainly a reform touching the state in ao Tital a point is de manded by a respectable number of cltlsena, it is the plain duty of the legislature to ascertain wheth er or not a majority of the whole people demand it, and, if so, to put it in the simplest and speediest way ot accomplishment. We can ascertain the will of the people only by submitting the question to them at the polls. A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, "If the legislature to be elected In November will frame a fair, non partisan constitutional convention bllL like that of 1872, early In the session and then submit the ques tion of convention or no conven tion nnder that act, to be voted npon at the spring elections, the whole matter would be put in course of immediate and proper de termination according to the public will. The delegates would be elect ed at the spring election or at a special election. This appears to be not only right, but eminently Just and conservative. There would be no danger of revolutionary in novations. The people would de clde whether or not there should be a convention; they would elect the members and they would ac cept or reject the amended instru ment at the polls. The delegates being elected should the people resolve upon a convention, prima-' rily to consider election reforms would proceed to put the reforms required Into the constitution it self, and, if any part of the new machinery should be left to the legislature, the language would be, unlike that of pending amend ments, mandatory, and leave no room for evasion. "The difficulty of securing re forms in the legislature, where any discretion is allowed that body, is well known. The variety of inter ests represented in that body, and the existence of two houses, to con cur, with the executive in the back ground, make the passage of any given measure, in acceptable shape, exceedingly problematical. "The Republican party has suf fered more than once from its Ina bility to promptly execute promls- . ed reforms by legislative action. A convention being a single body elected for specific purposes, and, naturally embodying the highest learning and integrity of the com monwealth, would doubtless per form promptly and well the duty devolved upon it. (Signed) "M. S. QUAY." REEDER AND COOPER SPEAK. Not only has Col. Quay taken this stand, but influential leaders of the Republican organization throughout the state have come out for the most advanced method ot accomplishing the desired reforms in connection with the ballot. - Gen. Frank Reeder, chairman ot the Republican state committee, has asserted that the Republican organ isation will lead in the movement for such changes in existing laws as shall be deemed desirable, and that through out the commonwealth the active Re publicans will work shoulder to shoul der to fulfill any pledges that may be made by the state organization intend ed to stop abuses at elections. The state chairman holds that the Republi can party has always been the cham pion of a pure ballot and a secret one, and that in a great majority of the election precincts throughout the state the intent of the framers ot tne pres ent law is faithfully carried out He admits that there has been objections found to the operation of the law in some of the cities, and says the Repub lican party can be counted upon to meet the demands ot the people in remedying existing evils. Former State Chairman Thomas V. Cooper, who Is a nominee for the leg islature In Delaware county, and who was nominated without opposition, al though he is an avowed supporter of Col. Quay, has gone on record as one of the leaders of the ballot reform movement. Among other things he said, in a recent statement: "It is a public duty to make it more and constantly more difficult to violate the election law. In the evolution of law seeking something better, both will come if our vote can determine the matter. It can be truthfully said that we believe in and act with the party organization. We do; we shall. It is only through organization that any thing worth doing for the people can be done. It is not always enough, nowadays, and where masses are con cerned, to be right; we must be in the best possible position to aid the right. The best position is within an organ isation, within the largest and best or ganization. There we can battle for the right to some purpose; outside, we are useless as a rule. There are revo lutionary exceptions, but they are too rare for our brief lives. As part of the great Republican organization we will strive for better election laws, for the amendments proposed, for laws to enforce them, and if possible to im prove them. If these can be reached we will be thankful for the opportunity to favor their application to all our elections general, spring, special and the primaries of U parties. 'The Munlcipa. Leagueisjustlyproud of its triumph in securing the opportu nity to vote upon two amendments looking to better things. We are not of that organization, but we must share its pride and will try to help it in this work. Our only regret is that the state must wait live years for other amendments. We have no fear but that the Republican organization will also Join in the work. It has no inter est otherwise, and only foolish factlon lsts will try to change what is a gen eral purpose for the public good. Of course false counters will oppose, but these are after all only a few hirelings of varied Interests. The Municipal League is preparing to question candi dates for the legislature. It has our answer in advance. We are for better things, for constant advancement to higher and better forms of government. and these Kin best be secured through good primary and general election laws, and they can best be secured by the co-operation of all who have good purposes in view, without regard to faction or party."

DALZELL NOW UNDER FIRE Ilia Opposition to the Groat Bill oa the Olco laaae llaa Beta Dcaoaac e4 hr Dalrrmea aad Farmers of Thla Stat. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, June 12. Senator Pen rose made a big hit In the closing hours of congress last week when he defeated the advocates of a government plant for the makingof armorplate. The Democrats and some Republicans made a bitter fight for this scheme, which, if it had carried, would have been a se vere blow to a great Industry in which Pennsylvanlans are deeply interested. The Keystone state makes most of the armor plate used by the United States government, and many thousands ot men are employed in the industry. The proposition for the establishment of B government plant left in doubt the lo cation of such a plant. It might have been established outside of the bounda ries of Pennsylvania, in which event Senator Penrose recognized a possible loss of many thousands of dollars a year In wages to worklngmen of this state. He submitted the amended clause, which was finally adopted by the senate and which at least tides over the situation and leaves the advo cates of a government plant little ground upon which to base hopes of the ultimate success of their scheme. As Col. Quay protected the iron and steel industries of the state when the Wilson bill was before the senate by his lengthy speech and successful fili bustering tactics, so Penrose sized up to the needs of the situation in this emergency and blocked a game which might have resulted disastrously to this commonwealth. DALZELL FOR OLEO. An incident Just before the adjourn ment of the house has been the subject of considerable comment among public men in this city. Representative John Dalzell, the pet and darling of the in surgents of Pennsylvania, 4ok a de cided stand against the Grout bill, which the farmers of the state advo cated as the best measure that has been presented to block the sale of oleomargarine. The farming and dairy interests In this commonwealth all ad vocated the passage of this bill, and they were represented by delegations at Washington to press their case. Now it happened that Dalzell, for some reason or other, was lined up with the champions of the oleo trust, and his opposition to the Grout bill has since been the subject of much criticism. He has been roundly de nounced, and the insurgents have ceased to claim that they are the only true friends of the farmers. The game of fake politics that the insurgent or ganization of Pennsylvania have been playing for the last few years is about over, for the people now recognize the selfish interests that are being served in all this agitation. BARNETT ELECTED COLONEL. The election of Lieut. Col. James E. Barnett as colonel of the Tenth regi ment, which has Just been reorganized, Is a complete refutation of the reports that were spread broadcast during his canvass for state treasurer as the Re publican nominee. With the possible exception of Colonel Quay no candi date for office in this state ever under went the experience which Col. Barnett had In his exciting campaign. He was made the target of the subsidized newspapers of the insurgent Demo cratic combine, which is now working the fusion racket on the legislature. He undoubtedly was misrepresented In many matters, but the most venomous and vindictive assaults were those af fecting his standing as a soldier. It was made to appear that he was not a brave man, that his men in the regi ment with whom he fought were op posed to him on account of his alleged failure to do his full duty, while the regiment, was in action. That the peo ple did not believe these stories was evident in his securing a large ma jority of all the votes cast at the elec tion, and now his old comrades in arms of the campaign In Luzon have, by a unanimous vote, elected him to command the regiment which went to the Philippines under the gallant Hawkins and leturned with a glorious record. NATIONAL CONVENTION SPIRIT. There is an atmosphere of stalwart Republicanism hanging about this town Just now, with the hotel lobbies filling up with leading Republicans from every state in the Union. The na tional convention, which will open here next Tuesday, promises to be one of the largest attended bodies of the kind In the history of American politics. There are thousands of active Republi cans coming here merely as spectators. They will find everything in readiness for their comfort and entertainment. The city Is beautifully decorated. The leading club houses are adorned with bunting and brilliant electrical dis plays. The city hall has been decked with emblems which are Illuminated by electric lights and strings of incan descent lamps have been run from the top of the tower to every corner of the immense building. Chairman Manley, of the sub-committee of the national committee, which has charge of the convention ar rangements, is here and says the hall is an Ideal auditorium for a national convention.

IntrodarlBK the Lite Story of am Old Shakeaorareaa Actor Who Had Fallra From AfBaence to the low eat Depths ot Dissipation. "When this old Shakespearean actor that I'm telling you about died, there was a peculiar, maybe a somewhat pa thetic, aoeiw lu the poor room around hi Mt-r," said an old theatrical man who lives In his memories of the palmy days. "Never mind about his name. He had been notable in the Mipport of the best of the American tragedians for a great many years, lie was never a big figure lu the eyes ot the public, but by such men as Edwin Forrest, first ot all, then John McCullough, Edwin Booth, Law rence Barrett and others, he was regard ed as a valuable man in the interpreta tion of 'secoud' heavies in the Shakes pearean plays." "Well, along in the curly eighties, heu he was still able to comuuiud high salaries and nttuch himself to the support ot the highest men in the profession, drink collared him. It got him terribly. 1 never tntv a muu get clutched by it with such suddeuncss uud violence. He lind not hegnu to driuk until lute In lifts hut men of that sort are the worst when they do get going. This notable actor and scholarly, dignified muu went square to the dogs inside of two yearn, He hnd spout all of his savings, which amounted to several thousand dollars, aud he had lost his borne over iu oi.e of the Oruuges of New Jersey. His wife left him and weut to her people iu England. He found himself In the streets, without uu over coat, without a place to sleep, iu the mid dle of winter. Time aud again his old friends picked him out of the ditch, got him into hospitals and sanitariums, cloth ed him, took an interest iu him, carried him off lo their own homes only to have him break out worse than ever. He aged very rapidly. He got to be a bud and hopeless job, in very fact. His friends reluctantly gave him up, one by one. Then he landed on Blackwell's island. "1 suppose we all turned more or less of a haudspriug to get him out of that, aud he was tried over again. He landed on Blackwell's again just three weeks Inter. This time it was decided to allow him to remain there for a couple of weeks any how. At the termination ot that period the poor old chap was taken off the is land again, clothed, fed uud housed, and after a week he was once more on the is land. "After that he was quite given up. It was concluded by all hands that Black well's, after all, wus about the safest and best place for him. In a geueral kiud of a way I always knew that after the old niau hnd got way down he hud gone to live with n oor, but extremely kindly Irish family iu a tenement house down Cherry Hill way. In fuct, I hnd happen ed along that way once or twice, just by way of curiosity, you understand, to see how the poor old fellow lived. It was a very clean set of four rooms but poverty overywhere-whorc the Irish family liv ed, aud the old actor had a little buck room when he wasn't over on the island. "One morning along townrd 10 o'clock, iu the middle of winter, the news got to lue somehow that the old actor hud died iu his tenement room the night before immediately upon his release from a 'M dny term ou the island. He had been pretty kiud to nie when he was up In the world, and. while I wasu t particularly rich, I didn't purpose thnt he should be buried lu (totter's field. So 1 took a cab and weut down Cherry Hill way. "I walked up the stairs uud knocked on the front door of the Irish family's set of rooms. Fanny Davenport opened the door and let me in. " 'Why,' I begun, with some surprise, 'how did you kuow' " 'I was with him when he died Inst evening and remained until I hud to rush off to the theater, replied the big hearted woman unlet ly. 'I hnd the undertaker here last night. Our poor friend is al ready prepared for burial. He wus good to me. Wc shall tukc him to Green wood.' "She couldn't sny any more, and it wasn't necessary anyhow. I had hardly taken oft my hat and gloves before there was a quiet rap on the door. I opened it. Augnstin Daly stood revealed. Be side him was Father Ducey. We were all pretty much surprised to see each other. Wc hnd all really come from different di rections under Initiatives. We talked quietly for a bit, wheu there wns another gentle tnp on the door. I opened it uud let Enimn Abbott In. There have been few sweeter souled women in the world thnn Emma Abbott. " 'He was good to me,' she snlil quiet ly. 'After I had lenrned something about sinclnc he taught me whut I know about acting. He wus very patient with me. I just heard. "Well, we were complete as a party then. W.o went into the room where the old man he who had Iteen a prince in generosity, a king in courtesy lay sleep ing, and father uttered n fervent prayer and then snid a few words. He, too, had known our friend in his better as well as in his fallen days. "Daly stepped forward then, nud, with bowed head, he told of what a good man he had known this poor old man who Iny dead before us to be. Duly felt pretty bad ns he spoke, and he couldu t go on. "Theu Kuitua Abbott, who hnd Ix-cn sitting over iu a dnrk corner of the little old bare room, advanced to the foot of the casket. She sang 'Angels Ever Bright and Fair,' no accompaniment, or course. You recall the sweetness of her voice? Now, as a matter of fact, neither Daly, Ducey nor myself was an emotion al mnn, fnr from it, but the tenderness aud the inspiration of that song as the pure souled little woman of the stage sang it were almost unbearable.

"The late Colonel Ingersoll frequently gained applause during his lectures by referring to the fact thnt there wns such a thing recognized in the standard med ical books ns 'preachers' sore throat,' but thnt no one hnd ever hoard of an auc tioneer's sore throat," observed a iwpn lar voice builder to a reporter, "and while Colonel Ingersoll probably wns entitled to the point, he wauted to illus trate he was somewhat off when he in sisted on the point. " 'Preachers' sore throat' is recognised by all writers on throat discuses, but it is not necessarily coulined to prenchers Lawyers I menu court advocates and others who overtax their voice at times suffer from it as frequently us do preach ers. One of the answers to Colonel Iu gersoll would be thnt the books did not Include singers' sore throat either. "The fact of the matter Is thnt one tloneers do not hnve sore throat. A suc cessful auctioneer, ns far as his voice is concerned, Is provided naturally with abnormally strong vocal chords. These he strengthens by continual use, so thnt in a few years the voice and throut are the strongest parts of li ill). He is ns lia ble, however, ns others to suffer from other troubles and has his share of them too. It Is the same way with a singer. His voice Is generally the strongest part of him, aud almost every other orgnu suffers l)cforc his throat dues. The public docs not know how many there ate who try auctioneering and who tiud thnt they cannot hold out. The voice of every man is not suited for continuous work. Auctioneer work menus several hours ot constant vocal exercise each day. "The rensou the preacher's throut goes bnrk on him now nud then, nnd it does, is thnt ids use of the vocal chords is not constant, for ordinarily the greater ef fort is seldom more than once a week. Another thing thnt oimmuIcs ngainst the prenchers nnd in favor nf the auctioneer is that the preacher seldom speaks iu the open air, while the auctioneer finds the most use for his voice iu the open air. Open air is the most wonderful strengthener of the voice. A marked ex ample of this Is the fuct thnt circus per formers nnd circus followers generally, who work in tents nud open air, never hnve sore thronts." Washington Star. narsraln Conater llcimrtee.
