To those who have watched the prog ress of the Senatorial contest, as indicat ed by the result of the primary elections for the nomination of State Senators ami Representatives, it has long been appar ent that Mr. Quay was ho[>elessly beat en. The complete anti-Quay sweep at the Bradford county primaries on Satur day, in which an anti-Quay Senator and three anti-Quay Representatives were nominated, has divested the Quay cause of the last hope of success, and his friends might as well follow their leader to the Maine woods and spend the rest of the season in taking a rest from their arduous political labors. There will be a large saving of Quay money and wear and tear if the whole Quay outfit goes on a vacation now. To continue the hopeless contest futlier will be a sheer waste of time, money and political effort. During the last season of the Legisla ture Quay was never less than a dozen votes short of an election. In the coun ties in which primaries bave been held already he has lost not less than eleven in Allegheny, one in Armstrong, one in Forest, three in Washington, one in Bedford, one, if not two, in Frankin. two in Lebanon, two in Luzerne, two in Bradford and one in Warren, or twenty five in all, and gained two each in But ler and Mercer, making a net Quay loss of not less than twenty -one. In addi tion, he will lose several other members by fusion movements already under — way in a dozen or more counties. The political tide is against Quay, has been running against him all the season and the Quav Waterloo in Bradford on Saturday shows that it is still rising with no prospect of an ebb. With the cerainty that he is already defeated to inspire the future efforts of his opponents and discourage and depress his friends, his losses Philadelphia and other coun ties in which nominations' are yet to be made, can hardly fail to be in still great er ratio. While there is nothing that succeeds like success, there is nothing so depressing, especially to professional po litical workers of the type of those who follow Quay, as continuous defeat. An enumeration of the causes which have contributed to such a series of Saay reverses can only serve to convince e thoughtful of the entire hopeless ness of his candidacy. Quay represents the Republican machine in power, and besides the political sins which are laid directly at his door, his cause is loaded down with the million-dollar reduction of the school fund. Governor Stone's unconstitutional veto of the two consti tutional amendments adopted by the last Legislature, his own rejected ap pointment to the Senate, the oleomar garine scandals, the well-founded im pression that he does not control the Federal patronage in Pennsylvania any longer, and above and beyond all. by the public distrust of those who are managing his canvass. Quay has many and bitter political enemies who are working for his downfall, but his op ponents combined have not contributed a tithe to his hopeless defeat that has been contributed by those who call themselves his friends. Between Quay's well-organized, pow erful and hopeful opponents and his fool friends his last chances of election to the United States Senate by the next Legislature have gone glimmering, and he has very wisely betaken himself to the woods where he can get a little rest, if nothing more, from political efforts that jtroduce only disastrous defeat. His fool friends will probably keep up the semblance of a contest until the end of the chapter, which will be a mere waste of money and effort. No human power can change hopeless defeat into victory, and Quay is hopelessly defeat ed already— Pliil'a Times. Deadlocked Senatorial Confer ences. Forty-two ballots were taken without result in the Republican btate Senator ial conference at Kittanning. Wednes day. The vote was 3 to 3 in each. When it was demonstrated there would be no yielding the conference adjourned to meet in Butler, August 24, at which definite results are hoped for Capt. A. G. Williams' conferees were P. W Lowry. Wm. Watson, of Mt. Chestnut, and DeHaas Ekas, of Ekas town; Geo. W. McNeese s were I. T. Campbell, John F. Whit worth and W. J. Guthrie. Mr. Williams took with him to Kit tanning his conferees, County Chair man McQuiation, State Committeeman Wm. Marks. Harry L. Graham. Eli D. Robinson. Casper Sherman, A. B. C. McFarland, J. D. Jackson, Jas B. Mates, W. S. Dixon. Col. O. C. Kedic, J. M McCollough, John B. Greer, W. C. Thompson and Edgar H. Negley. The party stopped at the Reynold's House aud Geo. Campbell's Nnlton House. During the afternoon they formed a trolly party under Mr. Mc- Neese to the "big Ford City pottery where Supt. John Wick escorted them through the entire works. On the journey home the Butler party stopped in Freeport and had an excellent supper at Held s Central House. The Democratic Statt Senatorial can didates and conferees for the list dis trict, composed of Armstrong and But ler counties, met in the Buller House. Butler, or rather in the cool and shady alley adjoining it, Tuesday. They couldn't agree this time TTTD so adjourned to meet in Kittanning next week, and fight it out on a straight line to the other end of the next Rainbow, if it takes all summer. The Vote in Bradford. A dispatch from Towanda, the coun ty seat of Bradford county, dated the sth, said: "Later return from Saturday's Re publican primaries in Bradford county only serve to increase the anti-Quay ma jorities. Fifty-seven out of sixty-one precincts give Edmiston, anti-Quay can didate for State Senator, a majority of 1,510 over Hill his Quay competitor, while the three anti-Quay candidates for Representatives J. A. Hamilton, Fred Taylor and F. F. Lomax—are nom inated beyond question by majorities as great, if not greater, than Edmiston's. The Quay leaders were prepared for de feat, but not for the avalanche of anti- Quay ballots under which they were buried. In the last Legislature the Bradford delegation was equally divided, Senator B. 15. Mitchell and Representative E. I). Lewis voting for Quay and Representa tives Robert F. Edniinston and L. T. Mauley voting against him Saturday s primaries nominated a solid anti Quay delegation, a net loss to Quay of two votes in the next Legislature. The Bradford canvass was hotly contested, but Quay was handicapped by the mil lion dollar school cut. by the oleomar garine frauds and the presence of a lot of State officials whose participation in the canvass made more votes for the anti-Quay candidates than for these they favored. Edminston's majority in Albany township, the home of Inspee tor Terry, of Pittsburg, who spent a month electioneering for the Quay can didates, was 91. The county conyention, at which the candidates will be formally placed in Domination, will not be held until Thursday, but the anti-Quay majority is so great that nothing can change the result. The probability is that the anti- Quay delegates will organize the con vention and control the county commit tee. POLITICAL. County after county where the Repub lican party is largely in the majority, and where" its candidates will be elect ed. has nominated by solemn deliverance in county convention or by direct vote of the people. Senatorial and Represeu tgtive candidates who are publicly pledged or publicly instructed to vote against the caucus nominee of the j partv for Senator if the nominee shall be Mr. Quay. Only one in hopeless senility or bent on tragic political sui cide would persist in such a contest and every sincere friend of Mr. Quay, whether in sympathy with or opposed to his political aims, must feel that this open and flagrant crucifixion should stop. It has disturbed the Republican party of the State from centre to circumfer ence. and if persisted in it must leave for Mr. Quay only the destiny of a great political career ended in a blunder that might well l>e classed as a crime. Mr Quay owes it to his party, and above all. he owes it to himself to end this fearful crucifixion by promptly aud per emptorily retiring from the field as a Senatorial candidate —Ex. Bradford onnty Republican primaries were held last Saturday and returns from 51 out of the G7 precincts give Hon. R. S. Edmiston (anti-Quay), candidate for State Senator, a majority of 1,385 over J. A. Hill (Quavite). THE CHINESE WAR. Thursday last, our State Dept. inform ed the United States embassies at Lon don, Paris.. Berlin, Rome and St. Peters burg and the minister at Tokio, Japan, that Secretary Hay had seat the follow ing dispatch on Monday to Li Hung Chang: "This government will not enter into any agreement regarding disposition or treatment of legations without first hav ing free communication with Minister Conger. Responsibility for their protec tion rests upon Chinese government. Power to deliver at Tien Tsin presup poses power to protect and to open com munication. This is insisted upon." The message was delivered by Mr. Goodnow on the 31st to Viceroy Li, who then enquired whether, "if free com-' munication were established between ministers and their governments, it could be arranged that the (towers would not advance on Pekin pending negotiations." To this inquiry the following reply was sent on August 1 by Secretary Hay to Consul General Goodnow at Shang hai: "I do not think it expedient to submit the proposition of Earl Li to the other powers. Free communication with our representatives'jin Pekin is demanded as a matter of absolute right, and not as a favor. Since the Chinese government admits that it possesses the power to give communication, it puts itself in an unfriendly attitude by denying it. No negotiations seem advisable until the Chinese government shall have put the diplomatic representatives of thf» powers in full and free communication with their respective governments, and re moved all danger to their lives and lib erty. We would urge Earl Li earnest ly to advise the imperial authorities of China to place themselves in friendly communications and co-operation with the relief expedition. They are assum ing a heavy responsibility in acting otherwise." The United States representatives iu Europe aud Japan were instructed to communicate these dispatches tc the ministers of foreign affairs at the respective capitals. The allied force advancing upon Pekin from Tien Tsin was said to num ber, but twenty-thousand, with 170 guns. Emperor Williams delivered a ser mon on his yacht on the righteousness of smashing the Chinese. Rear Admiral Remey cabled from Taku, under date of Thursday, as follows: ' Chaffee reports that 800 Japanese scouting toward Pietang, lost three men killed. 25 wounded. Enemy in trenches and loopboled houses." This affair was said to have taken place 10 miles l>eyond Tien Tsin. Gen. Chaffees message as to the unexpected resistance offered to the Japenese reconnoissance was regarded by military men as forecasting a greater degree of opposition to the international advance than had been anticipated. Nearly all the Loudon correspondents confirmed the reports of a wholesale massacre of Christians outside Pekin, a correspondent of the "Daily News" giv ing the number of killed as between 10.- 000 and 15,000, all defenseless converts. Imperial troops, so it is stated, did the ghastly work. According to the Shanghai correap*>nd ent of the London "Times." one of the members of the Tsnng Li Yamen men tioned by the United States Consul Goodnow as having been beheaded for pro-foreign tendencies was Hsu Ching Cheng, former minister to Russia. The correspondent says the Empress Dowager ordered his execution on the advice of Li Hing Hen. Li Hung Chang was informed from Pekin that Prince Ching's only promi nent supporters in his peace policy are Generals Yung Lu and Wang WsnShao. president of the board of revenue, whose influence is small. Sunday's dispatches brought word that the Imperial troops were massed about twenty miles west of Tien Tsin, with extensive barriers, and obstructions in the river, and that the Chinese had broken the canal lock, which would flood the country between them and the allies. China gave notice that no more cipher messages would bo forwarded to Pekin. and no details of the movements of the allied forces are now allowed. On Monday of last week the natives of Tien Tsin took advautage of the ab sence of the foreign troops and made some trouble, but were defeated. On Monday an engagement was report ed between the Allies and Chinese at Pelitsang, in which the allies numbering 10,000, lost 1,2000 men; the Chinese put ting up a hard fight and then retreating. Li Hung Chang, in an interview, de fended the Boxers and Prince Tnan. On Tuesday the number lost in the fight of S|iuolitical principles, and 1 am not alone in my way of thinking. Information from all parts of the county show a serious defection from Sibley, and the men who talk to me are the men who weigh their words, the nn purchasaDle and the steadfast element of the party. My authority is reliable and competent. This authority, locat ed here and there over the county tells me that half the Republican committee men of the county are for Emery. Part of them may be brought back, but 1 am satisfied that most of them will stick. The Democrats assure me they are solid for Emery. Emery is well known here, and the independent oil men are solid for him. The oil men are Republicans as a rule. Bear in mind that except the refineries at Franklin all those in the county that are ruuning are indepen dent ones. That gives some idea of the magnitude of the independent interests. Mr. Emery is a Republican, and being indorsed by the Democrats does not alienate any good Republican who is actuated by legitimate party interests. Then we do not forgive j Mr. Sibley for his efforts at Harrisburg to help Quay in the senatorial fight. We have a strong anti-Quay sentiment in the county, so strong that John P. Emery, anti-Quay, is nominated for the Legislature. He will probably vote for Sibley, as recog nizing him as the regular nominee, and to avoid party complications. But it shows to what extent the sentiment exists "It is almost a repetition of the cam paign of two years ago. Sibley was brought out then to defeat C. W. Stone, because Stone had not satisfied a taction in the county with his postofficeappoint ments. Sibley was expected, when elect ed. to oppose the confirmation of W. M. McKim, as postmaster in Oil City, iu hopes that Richard Longwell, the candi date of the other crowd, might be bene fitted. Sibley did not opi>ose it. and McKim was confirmed, and we never had a better postmaster, but it made Long well's friends angry. But Stone is out. I never saw such a revolt against the nominee in the 25 years I have been in politics in the county. Republican committeemen iu many precincts tell me Sibley will have a small vote and they know what they are talkinir about. "Sibley's strength two years ago was largely "in that hurrah that carries things with a novelty. The novelty is worn of now, and he is in just such a place as Stone was then, the knives are out for him. Remember that two years ago. the stalwart Republicans were vig oronslv opposed to Mr. Sibley, and they got licked. They have not forgotten the licking, and do not imagine they are coming in to support the man who gave it. It is the straight-outs who are mad. 1 not the chronic sore-heads." Speaking about money in the cam paign. I'. C. Boyle, whogave Mr. Emery a document which carries with it a penalty of 15,000 if the "Derrick" be comes abusive in any way at any time, intimates that it Mr. Emery really needs the money for campaign expenses it may be forthcoming. That is h pretty good sum for a paper in a small city to pay for the fun of saying mean things al»mt a political enemy, but it is only another i>f the straws that show the feeling. Tlie Ku»l ol' Ticket Scalping. The Superior Court, in its d>-iision on the case <>f Com. vs Kearv. indicted for ticket scalping, under the Act of 1*153. and who challenged the constitutional ity of law. recites the previous conten tions regarding this law. and re-affirms it. This decision concludes as fol lows. The Act of 1 sua does not abridge any privilege or right secured to citizens, either by the Constitution of the Unit ed States or by that of the Common wealth; nor does it deprive any of prop erty without due process of law It does not deprive the holder of a railroad ticket of the unused portion of it. It regulates the sale and requires the com pany issuing to buy. The regulation may, in some cases, result in the holder receiving less than would l>e paid by an individual buyer. On the other hand, the Act gives to the holder of an unsala ble, unused portion of a ticket a custo mer in the company issuing it. The purchaser of a railroad ticket takes its subject to such reasonable restrictions as the law may impose upon the public business of the carrier. The purpose of the Act is to prevent fraud. It i 9 recit ed in the preamble that, "Whereas, numerous frauds have bgen practiced upon unsuspecting travelers by means of the sale, by unauthorized peesons, of railway and other tickets." The appel lant is not in the position of one inno cently selling an unused portion of a ticket bought in good faith. He is con fessedly conducting a business at which the Act of Assembly directly strikes, and which the legislature has said is prolific of fradulent results. Theappel lant is not deprived of any property of which he is honestly the owner.nor is he prevented from prosecuting a business of a kind recognized by the law as res pectable. The privileges and immuni ties protected by the Constitution are subject to such restraints astheGovern ment may prescribe, for the general good of the whole people. The appellant has. therefore, no right to complain of the restriction put upon his business, which has been stigmatized as conduc ive to fraudulent acts and practices. To those not familiar with the evils which have led the legislatures of Penn sylvania and other States to pronounce the business of a - ticket broker or "ticket scalper" fradulent and punish able, the examination of the reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission u interesting and instructive. (See Inter state Commerce Reports (Co Op. ed.), vol. Xf., page 345; vol. 111., page 863. An excerpt from the last citation may be found in Raj- on Passenger Carriers, 138.) The facts and figures given ar ■ astounding; they are too voluminous to embody here. The impression made on the minds of the Commission is evinced by the expressions contained in the au nual report for (page 3f>4>. Some of them are as follows: "In whatever aspect ticket scalping may lie viewed, it is fradulent alike in its conception and in its operations. * * * Fraud, therefore, is the incen tive to the business * * * One might suppose that » practice of this character could do more be defended than larceny or for gery, bat, strange aait may appear, it; is defended before legislative bodies and eleewhere. and the right to carry it on nnmolested is demanded. While t>> the legislative liodv may be conceded a large discretion in pronouncing upon the moral character of the acts in res pect to which they have legislated, yet is the corroboration of their judgment acceptable from a sonrce created by National authority, with National opportunity and obligation to obtain accurate information. Tliir reports further show that, the evil appearing great, the Commission have, on more than one occasion, advocated the pass age of legislation by Congress, not differ ing greatly from the Penhsylvania Act, in order that the business of the ticket broker mignt be stamped out by Nation al authority. Finding no error committed by the court below, the judgment is affirmed and the record is remitted, that the sentence imposed by the court below may be carried out. U£ATIIS.
