(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Harrisburg, Feb. 6.—As between the
fear that the senate will -not seat Mr.
Quay and the fear that the people of
Pennsylvania will repudiate the me-
chine at the coming election because
of the gigantic ballot frauds in Phila-
delphia, the Quay machine leaders are
in a fright. The people of the state.
particularly the farmers and the plain
people, are now thoroughly aroused to
the fact that the padding of assessors’
lists by the machine in Philadelphia
means dollars and cents out of their
pockets. The machine has been hear-
ing from this, and now they are send-
ing out columns of matter to the Quay
organs, declaring that new ballot laws
must be enacted by the next legislature
and pledging the Republican machine
to see this done.
This will fool nobody. The machine
can stop ballot corruption any moment
it chooses. It is an old trick of the
Quay combination to make promises.
Ex-Senator Quay himself promised all
sorts of reforms five years ago, and
then deliberately broke his plighted
word to the people of the state. Since
that time the people have never trusted
Quay. That year in which he made
his monumental bluff at reform has
never been forgotten, and all of his
troubles date from that time. While
the Quay machine today is trying to
fool the people again. telling what a
fine administration Mr. Que man.
Governor Stone, is giving the state.
and boosting all the machine leaders:
the skies, the people are getting ready
to vote without regard to its wishes.
THE PEOPLE READY.
Reports from all over the state and
the crowds of visitors to the headquar-
ters of the Business Men’s Republican
I.eague indicates this fact. The at-
tempt has been made by the Quay
newspapers to link the fortunes of the
anti-Quay Republicans and William J.
Bryan. This is the veriest foolishness.
It has amused the anti-Quay Republi-
cans immensely. The idea of sterling
lifelong Republicans like those at the
head of the anti-Quay movement being
in league with Populism, free silverism
and all the other “isms” that Mr.
Bryan represents is not only amusing.
but absolutely ridiculous. It is too
silly for serious consideration.
The latest move of the Quay machine
leaders has Leen to drag in the sol-
diers’ orphans’ schools into their strug-
gle for continued supremacy. It is
also preparing to get control of all
of the Republican national convention
appointments when the convention
meets in Philadelphia in June. The
soldiers’ orphans’ school episode is
particularly flagrant, and shows to
what depths the Quay machine will
descend in its greed for spoils and to
retain its grip on the state.
JSING THE ORPHANS.
The commisison which controls these
schools is dominated by the machine,
and it is about to make A. S.
Lebanon, principal of the soldiers’ or-
phans’ training school at Scotland.
This position was abolished some time
ago by the commission, but Quay and
Penrose insist that it be restored for
Light's especial benefit. Ever since
Light was appointer deputy revenue
collector in the Ninth district against
the protest of the machine leaders in
Lebanon and Lancaster county Quay
and Penrose have Leen trying to find
another place for him. There was no
opening in the departments at Harris-
burg, and they finally hit upon the
principalship of the Scotland school,
which the commission is only too anx-
ious to give to Light to please his
backers.
Mr. Quay is still dickering with the
Democrats in Washington for votes to
seat himself. The latest declaration
that he will be seated comes from Joe
Sibley, the cx-Populist, ex-Democrat
and everything else, whom Senator
Quay elected to congress last year as a
Democrat, instead of that sterling Re-
publican congressman, Charles W.
Stone. Quay helped Sibley then, and
later cn Sibley came to Harrisburg and
tried to get Democrats to vate for
Quay, but he failed miserably and
sneaked out of Harrisburg without ob-
taining a vote. Now he is trving to
get Democratic senators in Washing-
ton to help Quey, and is giving out
type written interviews to the news-
papers, saying that Quay is sure to be
elected.
CORPORATIONS HELPING HIM.
The fact is that all of the corpora-
tions and other influences are working
for Quay. Senator Clark, of Montana,
who is on trial before the senate for
bribing his way into that body, is heip-
ing Quay. The lobbyists of the Mor-
mon church are working in his inter-
ests, and these, together with the
Standard Oil company, the Sugar trust
and all the other great corporations
are, as has already been pointed out
in these letters, striving with might
and main to get Quay into the senate
on Governor Stone's appointment.
Not only in Washington, but all
through Pennsylvania, the best inter-
ests, including leading business men,
prominent farmers and men in all
ranks of life are against the Quay ma-
chine. In Philadelphia the Municipal
League, composed of the leading men
of the city, have nominated a city
ticket in opposition to the Quay tick-
et for magistrates. A signal rebuke
to the Quay machine was administered
in Allegheny county last week, where
out of a total of 31 delegates to the
coming state convention Quay got only
seven delegates. It is the worst de-
feat that Quay and his friends bave
sver recelved in Allegheny county, and
is a refutation of the assertions made
by Quay’s friends that the powers op-
posing him are losing ground. The de-
feat in Allegheny was overwhelming.
One reason that leads the machine in
the state to assert that its enemies are
losing ground is because ihe fight be-
ing made against the machine is not
carried on with a brass band. It is
very quietly, but very effecetively, be-
ing conducted, and it can positiv ely be
asserted that in every district in the
state where the anti-Quay people are
operating gains are reported and a
most satisfactory cornidition of affairs.

Tue two Quay organs of this county,
which were last fall busily engaged in
bolting our Republican county organi-
zation, now have the impudence to of-
fer “pointers” to Chairman Berkey on
how to conduct the coming primary
campaign. It is amusing to see them
plead for John M. Reynolds, the would-
be Democratic Congressman of the Re-
publican 20th Congressional district.
It is also amusing to see them gloating
over the fact that the Democratic Bed-
ford Gazette is going to fight Congress-
man Thropp’s renomination. Well
what else can be expected from a Dem-
ocratic paper? And what else can be
expected than that the Quay organs in
this county, which are Republicans for
revenue only, which are “regular” only
when it suits their own selfish interests,
and which are always ready to work
with the Democrats when a Republi-
can whom they cannot use for a mere
tool wants office? Thropp is the can-
didate of the Republicans of Bedford
county, while Reynolds, it seems, will
be the candidate of the combined forces
of the Democrats and Hadderman Re-
publican bolters. They have a few
sympathizers in this county, but they
are not in possession of the Republican
organization, and it is not likely that
Chairman Berkey will pay much at-
tention to kiekers.

few political sapvers.

Get Justice.
A correspondent writes to Tug Star
as follows:
“What does Tue Star think of the as-
sassination of Goebel? When a people
cannot get justice at the polls, do you
think any man is justified in removing
with a bullet the chief obstacle in the
way of justice, seeing that no other
remedy will bring about honest elec-
tions?”
To this inquiry Tne Star will say
that it deplores the fact that it some-
times seems necessary for people to
take the law into their own hands. We
abhor murder and bloodshed, but the
killing of bad men sometimes becomes
a necessity for the good of the human
race, no matter whether (he killing is
done in the name of the law or not.
We are not prepared to say that the
killing of Goebel was necessary to the
cause of justice, for we do not know all
the particulars and motives of the af-
fair. It is a sure thing, however, that
Goebel was fairly beaten for Governor
of Kentucky, and it is just as sure a
thing that he was defiantly trying to
set aside the will of the people and get
into the official chair by the rankest
kind of fraud. While we do not gloat
over Goebel’s death, yet we have no
npathy to express for him, as he
openly and brazenly tried to destroy
the sanctity of the ballot box and
trample on the sovereign rights of
American freemen. He was the cause
of his own death, and Kentucky may or
may not be benefitted by it.
Our views on the matter of using
violence to obtain justice are somewhat
similar to an old Dutchman’s advice to
his boy on finance. The story is as fol-
lows: -
The son of an old German having ar-
rived at the age of 21 years, obtained
from his father his just portion of the
parent’s estate, and as he was about to
embark in business for himself, the fa-
ther admonished him as follows:
“Schon, be steady, vork hardt und
make money. Und Schon, rememper I
vant you to make money honestly.”
Then, after a pause, the old man added:
“Ovver schtill uf you can’t money hon-
estly, make money.”
Now we do not approve of such ad-
vice on finance, but in such matters as
threaten our just personal rights and
liberties, Tue Star’s advice would be
about as follows.
Maintain your rights peaceably if
you can, forcibly if you must. Get jus-
tice without violence if it is at all pos-
sible, but if it is utterly impossible to
get justice without Holenes, get justice.
i .
How to Win Completa Vietory.
The decent people of Philadelphia,
and the decent people of all Pennsyl-
vania, are heartened by the conviction
of Markley, Hogan and Pearce, the bal-
lot-box stuffers employed by the Quay
machine and exposed by The North
American. There is surprise mingled
with the general satisfaction.
The machine so long has been domi-
nant in Philadelphia, so entirely confi-
dent of its power to escape punishment
for its erimes, that the public ltad grown
to regard its power for self-defense as
irresistible.
But within a year a great change has
taken place. Blow after blow has been
struck and the machine is loosened at
every rivet. The defeat of Quay for
re-election to the Senate was the be-
ginning. A newspaper has grown up
in Philadelphia, whose work has but
commenced, yet which already has ac-
complished much toward the purifica-
tion of politics. The North American’s
first triumph over the machine was to
compel it freihiesnidst of a campaign to
withdraw an unfit judicial“eaudidaie
from the ticket. Then came the ex-
posure of the election frauds, which
shook the State and aroused press and
people to a realization of the truth that
in this city the machine habitually
stuffs the ballot-box with from 40,000
to 80,000 illegal votes to procure the
majorities it needs in its business.
The experience of the North Ameri-
can demonstrates that in order to over-
throw the machine all that is necessary
is to show the way. Good and courage-
ous men spring up whenever they are
required, provided hope of results is
visible. At every step there has been
earnest and able co-operation in the war
upon the election thieves. No sooner
had the North American made sure of
the guilt of the miscreants in the Thir-
teenth division of Isreal W. Durham’s
ward and the Twelfth division of James
B. Anderson’s ward than ex-Judge
James Jay Gordon volunteered for the
war upon them, laboring day and night
to put the evidence in legal form, ap-
pearing in the courtroom and exerting
himself without fee as few lawyers
would exert themselves for any fee.
Magistrate Eisenbrown, knowing that
to do his duty would be to earn the
vengeance of the machine of his party,
wnich is a cog in the Republican ma-
chine, nevertheless did his duty. He
held the scoundrels to answer and took
the expected consequences. His party
has refused him renomination, and it is
now as an independent candidate that
he must be voted for.
Judge Finletter has swept away the
false sacredness that preserved from
lawful examination the contents of
ballot-boxes containing evidence of
crime, thus establishing a precedent of
enormous value for the protection of
the suffrage.
The grand jury rose above all be-
numbing fear of the machine, and, list-
ening to but a small portion of the
proofs collected by the North Ameri-
can, indicted the scoundrels whose
crimes it had made public.
District Attorney Rothermel has
pressed the proofs home and fought
successfully at every point the attor-
neys paid to rescue, if they could, the
detected servants of the machine.
The flight of one gang of ballot-box
stuffers and the conviction of another
sive the people a great victory, and its
highest significance is the spirit it has
revealed in so many quarters. That
its entrenchments. It is the spirit of
American citizens who want American
government in Pennsylvania.
Behind the banished and imprisoned
heelers of the machine are the chiefs of
the machine—the men who hire such
reatures to commit crime. The bat-
tle will not be won until they too have
been sent to join Salter in exile, or
Markley in Moyamensing. It will not
be won until the election laws are re-
modeled and the frauds of the Salters
and Markleys rendered impossible.
The road to complete victory is plain
to every honest man’s sight. A Legis-
lature committed to ballot reform
must be elected—a Legislature over
which the ballot-box stuffing Quay ma-
chine will have no control.—/"Liladel-

What an exaggeration! what a whop-

times; it is a case of airy fancy. Itcan
run without money. 1t is not a busi-

goon and on, and any other coucern
would be in the hands of a ree -iver and
wound up with cobwebs in the windows.
It takes wind to run a newspaper; it

a scintillating, acrobatic imagination

who ever needed money to conduct a
newspaper? Kind words are the medi-

editor with money, watch him. He'll
be paying his bill and disgracing is

editor. Make him trade it out. Ie
likes to swap!
Then when you die, after having
stood around for years and sneered at
the editor and his little jim crow paper,
be sure and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your weep-
ing children, and when she reads the
thing. The editor knows it;
he can thank the printers and they can
thank their grocers!
Take your job work to another job
office, and then come and ask for free
church notices. Get your lodge letter-
heads and stationery printed out of
town, and then flood the editor with
beautiful thoughts in resolutions of
respect and cards of thanks. They
make such spicy reading,and when you
pick it up filled with these glowing and
vivid mortuary articles, you are
proud of your little local paper!
But money—scorn the filthy thing!
Don’t let the pure, innocent editor
know anything about it. Keep that for
sordid tradespeople who charge for

A New Temperance Plan.
In Milford, a town of 3,000 inhabit-
ants, the unusual sight of nearly all”
the prominent citizens, church leaders
and temperance asdvoeates in roles of
habitual frequenters of the saloons of
the town may be seen now. This
nhe result of a novel crusade against
the drink habit that hasbeen instituted
On occasions the
good people of New Milford have risen
in their might and smote the demon of
intemperance mighty blows. Each
time the crusade has been apparently
successful, but many of (he saloon-
keepers have returned to their voeca-
tions, and justices of thé peace
have dealt out senter:ces for drunken-
ness and disorder right and left, in the
is

the
usual manner, within’ a few weeks
after the crusades have apparently
succeeded. :
The latest plan is a novel one.
Nearly every prominent citizen of the
town has agreed to spend all his leisure
served, but is to be oné of the most
prominent Hs sin tE saloon. In
this manner he Sw “bled to ob:

are, and Lhe parties

citizens in the bar rooms dg calculated
to have an elevating effect on the regu-
lar frequenters of the places.
The temperance men are not to at-
tempt to take people from the saloons
against their: wishes and ‘the natural
desire of the proprietors. They are to
make themselves as conspicuous as
possible in front of the bar. Their ap-
pearance of respectability, their good
clothes, and pockets full of money are
| to be talking arguments against the
habit of spending money for liquor.
