(From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, March 1.—The past week has been enlivened in a political way by Senator Quay’'s activity in mending his fences, or attempting to do so. The outlook for independent action among Republicans is so formidable Quay’s anxiety about his re-election to the United States senate is increas- ing every day. Unless he can stem the rising tide of opposition he will cer- tainly be unable to succeed himself in his present high office. Quay has been running all over the state during the past week. He was in Philadelphia, then hurried away and came here to Harrisburg, andleav- ing here traveled as hard as he could to Pittsburg. He has been and in the spare moments of his time has been devoting himself to attempts patch un a truce with Secretary Martin, Senator Magee and the other anti-Quay leaders of the state. Quay held two conferences with Senator Ma- | gee in Pittsburg. He also saw to. it that ample reports of his meeting with Magee were given out in the daily pa- pers of Pittsburg. He desired to eon- vey the impression to the people of the state that he and Magee were getting onto friendly terms, and that Magee | would make a deal with him. QUAY HELPING SC£TONE. It was also a part of Quay’s plans to try and pull Magee into a support | of W. A. Stone, Hon. Asparagus An- drews’ slated candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. But the Quay plans were blocked in Pittsburg just as they were thwarted in Philadelphia last week when he tried to fix up a deal with Secretary Martin. Magee indig- nantly repudiated all of Quay’s flatter- | was compelled to confess to the news- | was en For Fine Dry Goods, Groceries, No- | tions, Country Produce, Miners’ Sup- | plies, ete., our place is HEADQUARTERS.

The most obedient Quay organ of the Philadelphia Quay organs is the Inquirer. The Inquirer has been es- pecially noticeable for its support ‘of Quay and every faction bearing the Quay callar.. The Inquirer claims to be | a Republican newspaper, but it edi- torially bolted the regular Republican ticket at the last city eclection. It has attacked Secretary of State Martin so long, and so bitterly, that many of its former friends have deserted it and gone over to Mr. Martin's assistance. This is noticeably the case with State Senator George Vare, Selectman Ed- ward Patton, Clerk of Courts W. -B. Ahern and half a dozen other leading Republican workers in Philadelphia. As it treated Mr. Martin, so has The Inquirer set out to treat Hon. John Wanamaker. Statements that efforts were being made to pull Mr. Wana- maker off the track by his own friends have filled its columns, and it has spared no effort to secure every piece of news adverse to Mr. Wanamaker ! that was possible. The attitude of The | Inquirer is undoubtedly one that it will | regret from a party standpoint, be- cause its own chickens will yet come | home to roost. It has encouraged and | endorsed bolts from regular conven- tions, and it has bolted the regular | ticket itself. In all of this it has been following Senator Quay and his friends, i and thz responsibility of their bolting action must ultimately fell upor their heads. pm a an TI — tr le Needed a Quarter. Kensington Keystone. These nickle in the slot machines have got to be a great thing. They do anything but cure the baby of the colic. | Down in Parnassus there is a family | that has a gas meter into which you | drop a quarter. Every quarter drop- ped in allows a certain humber-of feet | of gas to pass throtigh. It is a great invention and they are never troubled about their gas bill. They always know { just. what their relations are to the me- | ter and through it to the gas company. | One night last week there was sickness | in the family and the doctor was called in. While he was ministering to the | sufferer the gas. went out all over the i house. The meter wanted its pay. “I'll | just run down and drop a quarter into Lit,” said the father of the family. He made a dive for the cellar. A few sec- {onds later he came up. He had a whole handful of money. There were nick- | els, dimes, half-dollars, | number of bills. But the meter won’t | take anything but quarters. The doc- | tor didn’t have n quarter. An examin- | ation of his pockets by match light de- | veloped this. The servant girl had three nickels and a dime. That made 25 cents, but the meter accepts nothing but silver quarters. The nurse had two dimes and a nickel. That would i not go. The children’s banks were full | of small coin, but there wasn’t a quar- | ter in the lot. It was after midnight, ; but the man of the house had to go out and hunt a quarter. He aroused sev- {eral of his neighbors. They all had money to burn, but none of them own- | ed a quarter. The eighth man had just 25 cents, but it was in the form of a sil- ver quarter, It was gladly taken and | a few minutes later the meter was met- ing again in a manner to make up for lost time. Now four silver quarters | are always kept in stock in that house | While he has can- | and they say they never will run out | again. - Th: Riddle of Things That Are. BY WILLIAM ITAMILTON HAYNE. We walk in a world where no man reads The riddle of things that are— From the tiny fern in the valley’s heart To the light of the largest star— Yet we know that the pressure of Life is hard And the silence of Death is deep, As we fall and rise on the tangled way That leads to the gate of Sleep. We know that the problems of Sin and Pain, And the passions that lead to crime, Are the mysteries locked from age to age In the awful vault of Time— Yet we lift our weary feet and strive Through the mire and mist to grope Aud find a ledge on the mount of Faith In the morning land of Hope. dollars and a} AVI.
