THE CITIZEN.
WILLIAM O.NEGLEY -- Publisher
THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1899
Will Quay be Admitted.
Congress meets next Monday week,
and on the question of ex-Senator
Quav's admission as a member of the
Senate, the Pittsburg Times says:
"That body must soon take up this
important question. Even were there
not an unbroken line of precedents ex
tending from the earliest years of Fed
eral history down to the last Congress
against seating appointees to the senate
in cases where Legislatures had failed
to elect, it is difficult to see how the
Senate can constitutionally seat Col.
Quay upon the credentials which he
will present to that body.
There are but two ways in which a
title to a seat in the United States
Senate can be given—election by a Leg
islature and, under certain constitution
al limitations, appointment by the
Governor That Col. Quay was not
elected by the Legislature is not in dis
pute. The Constitution ot the United
States thus regulates the power of ap
pointment by the Governor of any
State:
And if vacancies happen, by resigna
tion or otherwise, during the recess of
the Legislature of any State, the execu
tive thereof may make temporary ap
pointments until the next meeting of
the Legislature, which shall then fill
the vacancy.
The vacancy in one of the United
States Senatorships from Pennsylvania
did not occur "during the recess of the
Legislature." It occurred on March 4,
1899, when the Legislature was not only
in session, but was balloting daily for
a Senator to fill it. In strict pursuance
of the law governing Senatorial elec
tions, it continued to ballot daily until
adjournment. It was a plain, clear
case of a Legislature failing to elect,
and was in no sense a case which made
it proper and right for the Governor to
appoint.
So plain and clear was the case that
Gov. Stone himself recognized it. The
Constitution of Pennsylvania thus pro
vides:
In case of a vacancy in the office of
United States Senator from this Com
monwealth in a recess between sessions,
the Governor shall convene the two
houses, by proclamation, on notice not
exceeding sixty days, to fill the same.
This is the constitutional mandate.
Gov. Stone did not "convene the two
houses, by proclamation, on notice not
exceeding sixty days, to fill the same."
He appointed Col. Quay to the Senatori
al vacancy. By this very act ad
mitted that this vacancy did not happen
"during the recess of the Legislature."
Either he made that admission or he
deliberately violated the Constitution of
Pennsylvania by not convening the
Legislature. But that the Legislature
was not in recess is too patent to need
argument. It is a matter of common
knowledge. Then, since the executive
of any State is only empowered to ap
point a Senator when a vacancy hap
pens "during the recess of the Legisla
ture," Gov. Stone's appointment of Col.
Quay is without warrant of either the
Federal or the State Constitution.
The personality of the appointee to
the United States Senate does not enter
into this question, nor has it any bear
ing whatever upon it. The sole issue
is one of constitutional power and right,
stand above the personality or aspira
tions of any man."
THE administration has taken a for
ward step of far-reaching importance in
directing the American ambassadors to
obtain from the governments of France,
Germany and Russia written assurances
that our trade with China will not be
discriminated against in the regions
that have come under their control.
The request for such assurances is more
than a public announcement of our
Chinese policy. It is the first fruit of
onr new position in the Pacific; it is the
first and most inevitable consequence of
the Spanish war.
Political.
The Goebelites tried to ha\e the
whole vote of Louisville, thrown ont,
because Gov. Bradley ordered out the
militia.
The official vote of Kentucky gives
Taylor, Rep., for Governor, n majority
of 2.232 over Goebel.
Samuel Salter, deputy coroner of
Philadelphia; Joseph G. Rod iters, lieu
tenant of the capital police, Washing
ton, D. C., and Clarence Meeser, em
ployed in the copyright division of the
Congressional library, were last Friday
held in SI,BOO bail for trial on the charge
of conspiracy to make fraudulent elec
tion returns in Philadelphia. The ar
rest of the three men was the outcome
of testimony adduced at the hearing
last week of several residents of Wash
ington. who had been arrested in Phil
adelphia on a similar charge.
Voting machines were used at the re
cent election in Buffalo, Rochester and
Ithaca, N. Y. All these points report
the most favorable and satisfactory re
sults. In Ithaca, for example, the full
returns were known within 17 minutes
after the polls closed.
Over in Westmoreland county the
Prothonotary and leaders of both parties
pot on five watchers who stayed up all
night and watched the Prothonotary's
office in order to see that the election
returns were not tampered with. On
account of the closeness of the Judicial
contest it was rumored that an effort
would be made to change the returns.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. L. A. Watres attend
ed the meeting of Independent Repub
licans at Philadelphia. Tuesday, and
afterwards expressed himself as follows:
"As the gathering was one of Repub
licans who are anxious to bririK about ft
better condition in the politics of the
State, I attended the meeting, believing
as I do that the necessity exists for bet
ter methods in the conduct of public
affairs. I may have something definite
to say later on."
LYIJDITE, a new explosive used by
the British in the shells which they are
throwning at the Boers which surround
Ladysmith, causes frightful havoc.
We are informed that "Boers fell dead
in heaps at every explosion of one of
these sheila, big siege guns were dis
mounted. and so awful was the slaugh
ter that General Joubert se.it a formal
note to General White protesting
againt the use of Lyddite as unfair in
war between civilized nations."
THE AFRICAN WAH.
A native who arrived at the English
camp at Estcourt last Thursday, report
ed a severe engagement as having taken
place on the loth, during which the
Boer's General Joubert was killed, but
it was afterwards denied. The Boers
captured several armored trains from
the English, and were yet bombarding
Ladysmith. while a large force was
moving south on Estcourt where a
great battle will probably be fought.
THE PHILIPPINE REPOKT.
The preliminary report of the Philippine
Commission is by far the most import
ant contribution that has been made to
onr knowledge of the situation in the
archipelago and towards a right under
standing of our obligations and duties
there. It was written after a thorough
investigation by men who wished to
find out the truth It is authoritative
and, for present purposes, fiDal. To our
thinking, it leaves no room for further
controversary
The conclusions of the commissioners
are not a mere matter of opinion, but
are supported by a large mass of evi
dence, which will be presented with
their final report. The most important
facts shown are these:
1. We made no alliance with Agnin
aldo.
2. He deliberately provoked war with
us.
3. His insurrection is not a struggle
for independence in any such sense as
the struggle of the American colonists
was; for if he could succeed in war, his
success would be followed by anarchy.
4. The inhabitants of Luzon, as well
as of the other islands, are yet incapable
of self government, and our plain duty
is to help them towards it. The only
way to help them is at present to gov
ern them, and gradually to lead them to
an understanding of the fundamental
principles of government, of which they
are yet ignorant.
5. The beginnings of self government
under our guidance in the towns where
it has already been inaugurated promise
well.
fi The only honorable and possible
thing to do is to hold the archipelago,
and to develop both its jieople and its re
sources, which are valuable.
There can be no room for argument,
it seems to us, about these fundamental
propositions, which are all fortified by
Mr. Worcester in this number of the
Weekly. Mr. Worcester is the highest
authority that we have on the condition
of civilization, as well as on the natnral
history, of the archipelago—a scientific
student both of the people, whose lan
guage he speaks and whom he has
known for many years, and of the re
sources of thf islands. He was once op
posed to our permanent occupation, but
he now regards it as our duty. The
testimony of puch a man is worth a
worldful of sentimental and academic
literature and mere political talk.— Har
pers Weekly.
THE wonderful ability of the Japa
nese is shown by the fact that almost
everywhere in that country English and
American instructors in the colleges
and factories are being supplanted by
natives. They wish it plainly under
stood, says Commercial Intelligence,
that Japan is for the Japanese. A
student at the university planned a
work of great interest. He conceived
the idea of building a canal to connect
two lakes of different altitudes. He
tunneled mountains and overcame other
difficulties, but the chief point of inter
est lies in the fact that he built a rail
road over which the canal boats were
transported as they left the water to
the next lake. Electricity was used,
and enough was generated to light the
city of Kioto and furnish power to sixty
factories.

orat J *—
After some discussion Kev.
moved that May 22-15 be settled upon,
J. A. McCafferty offered an amendment
fixing June 10, 12 or 15, because then
the days were long and pleasant and
there would be a full moon to drive
home by. Someone favored Wie Indian
Summer days of October, when the
roads are best. Joseph Vanderlin, Esq.
and M. N. Greer favored July 4tb.
Then sentiment seemed to s>ving in fa
vor of Independence Day and A. L
Campbell offered an amendment for its
selection, but it was lost on vote, after
much emphatic discussion.
Dr. Leighner then moved that a com
mittee of five be appointed by the
chairman to fix a date sometime be
tween the Ist ami 20th of June, taking
such a one as will not conflict with the
Beaver county celebration, June 11th,
nor that of any neighboring county,nor
presidential conventions, and report
their decision by New Year's Day. A.
L. Campbell offered an amendment to
make to make this an executive com
mittee to have charge of all arrange
ments for the centennial and increasing
its number to fifteen, to be appointed
by the chairman from any citizens of
the county. The amendment was
adopted and the motion carried as
amended.
The convention then made Mr. Meg
ley chairman of the executive commit
tee.
It was then moved and carried that
the delegates returned continue to act
as committees of arrangements /or their
respective districts, anyplace not repre
sented being urged to elect some repre
sentative.
A hearty vote of thanks, proposed l>y
J. F. Shannon was then tendered the
V. M. C. A. for the use of the hall and
the convention adjourned.
The general idea which seemed to
pervade the convention was that one
great, big day's celebration should
make up the county's liirthday paity
and the members aimed to select a time
which would be most suitable t > those
who would have to drive long distances
to Butler.
They settled on tb<; forepart of .lane
because in this month the clays arc long

not yet oppressively warm, the roads
good, a time of slight respite in farm
work, and for moonlight for night
