"THE FIERY CROSS."
On Saturday morning last Seiiaior-
Qn«y and Penrose left Washington and
went up to Harrisburg where they tried
to indnce Gov. Hastings to sign th< bill
passed by the late Legislature making
all the appointments of the Mayor of
Philadelphia snbject to the approval of
three-fifths of the City Councils They
were very argent in the matter, but as
this bilfwonld put Durham and his
crowd on top in the city and annul
part of the city charter Gov. Hastings
would not promise them to sign it
This riled Quay and Penrose and they
called the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press into their room at the ho
tel, and Quay announced himself as
follows:
"You mav say for the first time m
my life I ain a fnll-fledged candidate
for the Senate, and that I will make
the contest when the proper time cornea
Governor Hastings will assist me, r>r
Hastings and I will never again be
apart ' The fiery cross will again be
carried across the State and the men ,n
blouses will be asked to rally to mj
support."
To the correspondent of the Pittsburg
Dispatch he said:
■ It had been announced from Wash
ington that I would not be a candidate,
but I have been overruled. I J™"®' 0
Harrisburg to consult Governor Has
tings and other friends as to my CJiTId J
dacy You may say that I will make
the contest for United Spates Senator at
the proper time The fiery cross will
again be carried over the State and the
men in blouses -the bourgeoisie-will
be asked to rally to my support Gov
ernor Hastings will aid us, tor Hastings
and I never again be apart
These statements appeared in the
evening papers of Saturday, and in the
morning papers of Monday.
On Monday Gov Hastings stated
that —
' 'Senators Qoay and Penrose called
on me Saturday morning The pur
pose of their visit was to induce me to
sign the Becker bill, so called, relating
to Philadelphia, and they were very
urgent. When 1 declined to make any
promises, Senator - Quay announced
that he would change his mind and
* would become an active candidate for
United States Senator I was not ask
ed to support him in his candidacy for
United States Senator "
Quay xead Hasting s statement and
said that his candidacy for re-election
to the Senate was not mentioned dar
ing his interview with Hastings.
This makes a question of veracity be
tween Quay and Hastings with ap
pearances in Hastings' favor It looks
very much as though Quay had tried to
sell Hastings another of his gold
bricks " and got left this time
From yesterdav's dailies we take the
following items:
"Little by little thedetailsof the now
famous interview between the two
Pennsylvania Senators and Governor
Hastings are leaking out. Secretary
Reeder saw it all, but declines to say
anything about it. From other sources
it is learned that Quay sought to cajole,
and Penrose sought to bulldose, the ex
ecutive into signing the Becker bill.
Hastings very emphatically refused.
Quav threw oat the Senatorial hint, to
which the Governor replied he was not
to Is- tempted by another gold brick
Then the Senators retired and innnedi
ately afterward Quay announced his
candidacy for the United States Hen
ate
"The Becker bill, the reader should
nndentand, proposes to mutilate the re
form charter of Philadelphia so as to
take from it valuable features, and. in
fact, the one most highly prized by ma
nicipal reformers As the Bullitt char
ter now stands the mayor of the city
has the power of appointment .absolute
ly and without dictation by councils or
bosses. The Becker bill changes this
by requiring that the select council of
the city by a three-fifths vote shall rati
fy and approve all the city appoint
ments This destroys the principle of
executive power and responsibility No
secret is made of the purpose of the bill.
It is to drive the mayor into an ar
rangement with the Quay politicians
for a distribution of iiatronage,
It will Is; remembered that in advocat
ing the reform charter for Pittsburg
great stress was laid on this provision
of the Philadelphia charter, which Sen
ator Quay now urges should be repeal
ed in the interest of jobbing jsilitics.
The senator pretended to support tnis
very provision for the Pittsburg charter
he now opposes for' the Philadelphia
charter. In the face of these self evi
dent and undeniable contradictions an<l
floating of the reform sentiment, one is
puzzled to know on what little game the
senator is intent. His first duty is to
his Philadelphia heelers. But what
then?
WHAT hum buggery it is for Quay
to annonnce that he has tieen overruled
as to his retiring from the U. S. Senate.
His lust for power equals that of al
most anv man that ever lived, and his
appeals to the "men in blous<?s and
his talk regarding "the fiery cross ' are
as hypocritical as was Najioleon's talk
of "glory," by which he lured half a
million Frenchmen to miserable deaths
on the plains of Russia

The annular eclipse of the sun which
is to occur on the 21) th inst, will Is- vis
ible in this region as a partial eclijise
only. The path of the annnlus, which
in this eclipse averages about iJO geo
graphical miles in width begins in the
Pacific Ocean and follows 11 curvilinear
course eastward across Mexico and the
Gulf of Mexico and traverses the north
em coast of ( aba Its course then
changes gradually 10 a southeasterly
direction touching the coast of lirazil
at St. K<s|ue and terminates in
the Atlantic not far from the prime
meridian and in south latitude 22 de
grees.
It is obvious that at all places which
lie along the central line of the annu
Ins path, the eclipse will be central and
annular and at any place not situated
within the limits o» annular eclipse
the degree of great e l obscuration will
depend on the distance by which the
place ji, immersed in the penumbral
cone, which is the partial shadow If
the given place is farther from the ecu
tral line or the eclipse than the radius
of the penumbra amounts to there
would Is.- no eclipse at all al that place.
If its distance from the central line is
half the value of the radius of the p.-n
umbra, then one half of the solar disk
would Is* obscured
It is evident, then, that the moment
an element of the penumbral cone cut
the terrestrial -pheroid at the placi of
the observer, he will see an external
contact of Ihesolnr and lunar disks and
the eclipse is beginning or ending
When the ols»erver is in the surface of
the shadow cone he see- an internal
contact of sun and moon and it is tie-
Is-giiining or ending of total or annular
eclipse.
In the analytical discussion of
eclipses the cone of interior contacts i>*
technically denominated as the mine
tif total shadow although in the case
i>f annular el lipse the shadow of the
moori fails tome what short of the earth
and should Is- regarded as a negative
quantity. The obscuration is total
only when the vertex of the shadow
cone in central eclipse falls on or below
the plane of the observer and the ap
parent angular diani'-ter of the moon i
equal to or exce.-ds that of the sun

Harrteburs. July IS.—Now that the
legislature If A thing of the past, we
have ample opportunity to look over
not so much «hat It did, as what it

cpputtunliy Is presented for studying

th ic is f-.od for thought in a study of
the sui>i rl» work accomplished by that
caii'Lict. harmonious and patriotic
I< i '."anamakei men known as the

Tip.- Mm.-; ier..arkat>le feature in the

t nit i '!;• i t _<-.-t politic ians in the
E; .. a ruit the big lir.-.vers and
big politicians stand together. It ii?
T'. their I.IUSUHI advantage to do so.
By consolidating all of the great
bre-A L-xii * ( th- i-tate this combination
oi capital. . ti ust, expects to freeze
out l*.e sinai. fellows, and make life a
dreary burden for them. Ii will thus
be r.een why :h«» llirht in t; iet.-
Isiature was to keep a lax off beer, it
can also be seen from this statement
ho«r, vrh'.-n the Wanamaker men did
force th» machine and the bosses to
put a tax on b- -it, that the political
machinist? contrived to place the bulk
of the bur l- n upon the small brew
erles of th«- • . mmonwealth. It can also
be seen how it comes about that retail
lifjuor licenses were Increased, while
the big brewers escaped almost scot
free.
If It h id not been for the Wanamaker
men the v h<!«* burden of increased tax
ation would have been thrown upon the
! shoulders ot the small retail liquor
' dealers and upon the smaller brewers.
The Wanamaks-r men do not belong to
the liquor party As a rule they have
nothing in common with the liquor
traffic In any way. Hut they are fair
men. They believe In the general prin
ciple that it is gross injustice to tax
the weak industries for the benefit of
the strona They contend that It Is
not American Justice to make a small
brewtry in a country town pay a big
tax whlic n t.lg brewer In a largo city
Is permitted, practically, to escape.
Kentt'.r Quay's friend* are the men
who s<'U ht to, and did. perpetrate this
act of rank injustice on the small deal
ers and sn.all manufacturers of Penn
sylvania.
From the above showing. If anyonu
cares to llgure It out, he will discover
that vrbllo the bosses have been com
pelled to place a tax on beer, they have
arranged it so that while a brewer
whose output IK 300,000 barrels a year
pays only W.OOO tax, which Is at the
rule of .iily i cents par barrel, the tax
on the small brewers Is over 30 cents
a barrel.
Had it net been for the Wanamaker
men every one of the attempts to gat
money out of the treasury by Illegal
moans In the shape of mileage, extra
carrlag" hire, telegraph and telephone
n>" : g r s, by members of the various
investigation committees would have
been fj" «: «ful. N'o legislature has
ever known such barefaced attempts
as these, t'tlll another attempt was that
In which the state treasurer, auditor
general and secretary of Internal af
fairs are given. In addition to their
regular salaries, extra salaries aa mem
bers of f.vo «tate board*. The attorney
genet t! v.-:i» hen tofoi Included In this
lint, bur Ir.-M year when his warrant
was n- I him In payment of this
allwed . 'irv'.ce he returned It to tho
state treasury with the endorsement
that he could not accept It, as he did
not think he was legally entitled to the
comp'-ni'itlon allowed him for this ser
vice, and ' f tout *e if the attorney gett
ers!, '.lie la*' officer of the common
wealth. i« not entitled to this extra
salary the other three state officials
ar- riot.
Th" Wai.;'maker men attempted to
have fhe* Hem;, eliminated from the
K"i;'?ral appropriation bill but they
failed because the Quay men Insisted
on standing foi them, Just as they
stood up f'.r every demand made by
every Investigating committee for
money from the treasury.
One- of the most dramatic eplsodos
in the closing days of the legislature,
nnd which has received but scant no
tice in the nev.spapers, owing to the
pressure of othei rind more vital topic*,
was the tiierclh r* attacks that were
mud* on Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay. He was assaulted In speeches
rlyht and left. Representatives Voor
hoes and Crothcrs. of Philadelphia,
made vigorous speeches on the subject;
It'ipr" "ntatlve Dixon used his name
like a football, while other members
of th< lower house ridiculed his pre
tensions to leadership in a way that
must hav" made Ills cheeks burn even
In distant Washington The most con
spicuous and tamectabic failure of the
session w;»s tic* attempt of Representa
tive V. M. I.ytle, of Huntingdon, to
defend Mr Quay lie was the sole and
only defender that Quay had on the
floor of the house
When In the heat of a ili-hate three
days before the ses lon closed he re
ferred to Senator Quay as the man
who had eorr*- to Harrishurg, struck
tho rock of ii-vtitua with hi* wand, and
money gushed forth, I.ytle, mistaking
ly, pointed towards Kepre*entatl v»
Charley Voorhees, of Philadelphia.
Voorhei s had laughed at the remark,
and I.ytle took occasion to Insult him.
Voorhees In reply made the most ter
ribly scathing speech against I.ytle and
Qtiay that ha* been heard In the house
of Pennsylvanla for years He towered
over Lytic like . giant and [olnti'ig
Ills linger at hltn did:.red that he,
Voorheeu, was not ofrald to follow Mi'.
Quay when he was right, but that thi
gentleman from Huntingdon made Hen
ator Quay hi* mentor, and followed
him right or wrong.

In the lajt ten days of the session |
the force of public opinion, in the shape ;
of denunciations from newspapers of
every shade of opinion in the state, in
the form of thousands of letters from
indignant constituents, and voiced In
hundreds of telegraph messages, be- \
came so strong that even Senator Quay ;
and his agents could not withstand th<? ;
pressure, and orders were given to [
form a graded license law for brew- j
erles and distilleries. The object sought j
by the framers of this law was to tax |
"the little fellows." and let the big i
flsh escape. It was also sought to In- !
crease the tax on retail licenses, and i
thus save the breweries. The object of
this will be apparent when It is known
that some of the big machine politi
cians In the state have organized a beer
trust, the object of which is to con
solidate the beer Interns. Increase
prices. Increase production, and ulti
mately to drive out of the trade all of
the smaller concerns.
Wnimiiinker Men Active.
But the Wanamaker men were active
and vigilant. N'o finer example of po
litical harmony and unity of purpose
has ever been seen than has been dis
played by the "Seventy-six" in this
legislature from beginning to end. They
knew what was Intended to be ac
complished in the beer tax bill, and so
when the measure was brought out an
instant light was made upon it.
This tight upon what is known as the
beer revenue bill v.-as not for the pur
pose of defeating it. because all along

scribed. As a le.uit of .be refusal of
the house to a„:i-i. the bill was sent
back to the senate, and a conference
committee was apjiciiitcd. This com
mittee brought out soint n v. amend
ments whir h slifbUy incu ...-ed tin- tax
on brewcilen; sli.l thin did not satisfy
the valiant "S«.\ nty-slx." They de
manded that i.n adequate tax be
placed on beer. o:id not a mcri make
shift.
It was now the last day of the session.
The telephone lln between llarrisburg
and Washington was kept hot with mes
sages between Senator Quny and his
leaders. Word v.as conveyed to the
senior senator that the "Seventy-six"
could not be- whipped, anil unless the
beer bill was amended or some agree
ment was reached the state would lose
11,600,000 of revenue, and the Republi
can party would be Irretrievably
ruined by reason of Its attitude In
closing the public schools and opening
the breweries.
The Seventy-six Winn.
Again was the bill amended on the
demand of the "Seventy-six," and this
time the Quay peop>, finding that noth
ing could be done, included the Dig
breweries In the graded tax list. The
1,111 had now reached a pi i.it where the
"Heventy-stx" leaders could d:-..i uss II
with the Quay men. On the last night
of the session there was a conference.
Mr. K. A. Van Vnikwiburg, the able
and skillful leader of the "Seventy-six,"
represented that body, while Speaker
Boyer and ?•< ri itor W. 11. Andrews rep
rusented Senator Quay The "Seventy
six" proposition was submitted, that
the> would now vote for the beer tax
hill T\lth the distii.it understanding
that tie* public n 1.'.0 l appropriation
was not to bu cut Second. That the
Item of ?'f0.0"0 for not tnal schools was
to be relnsurted In the general ap
proj.riati .n bill. It v. >i al.ei part of the
agreement th; t av an evidence oI good
faith speaker Hover would come down
out ut hi* scat, make a speech upon thy
subject arid give his personal word
that the school appropriation would
not be cut, and that the normal schools
would be protected.
Thus In one night all Mr. Quay's pet
plans were swept away He was com
pelled to tax beer, he was compelled to
agree not to reduce the school fund,
and he was compelled to make an ap
propriation for the normal schools.
The "Seventy-six" comes out of this
legislative light crowned as the bills'
champions They fought the bosses and
nil the combined machinery of the Re
publican leaders successfully.
The I.exow l icked.
There were more notable features In
connection with this legislature, other
than those quoted above. Tin- Lexow
committee was never brought forth. It
wa well known that It could not be
passed, and It was demed wiser to let
It lie over until a more kindly legisla
ture would pay Its expenses. If such
a legislature was ever elected.
The various Investigating commit
tees, which had piled up numerous ex
pense bills, were all compelled to cut
them down nearly one-half. Few
greater raids on the treasury had been
organl/ed than these expense bills, but
the house, not the senate, voted against
paying them until, at last, rather than
lose all, the men who demanded thn
extortionate sums were compelled to
come down to actual Items of expense,
and then the bills passed.
In an Interview, following the closu
of the legislature on Thursday, Mr. K.
A Van Valkenburg, of the "Seventy
six," had this to say concerning It*
work:
"The legislature of 'O7 Is Senator
Quay's Frankenstein. Its record, like
a nightmare, will purnue Its creator
even to the solitudes of lirlgHtitlne and
St. I.ucle. Helplessly mail-acted, tin*
dominant faction could do no better.
"The half ha* not been told, yet the
present legislature was not worse than
others of tin- past, obedient to the same
power. But never In the history of
Pennsylvania has such determined and
unceasing v.ar been waged against the
battlements of machlrilsin. The mantle
of the patriots of '76' has fallen upon
the '7B' of 'B7.
Willi! Tlie.v Accompllnlli it.
