An Evidence of the Panic Stricken State of David Martin. MR. WAHAMAKER'S CANDIDACY I Belief That Be is Anxious to Become Either an Independent Candidate For Governor, Mayor or United States Senator. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Die 13. The fight for receiver of taxes of Philadelphia has now assumed interest for the Republi cans of the entire state by reason of two faots. The nrat is that the Martin city committee has dictated that the primaries for the election of delegates to the Btate convention shall be held on Jan. 11 at the same time that del egates are to be elected to the munici pal conventions. This Is done with a man ifest desire to tangle up the issues and to make it possible for the combine politicians to enter into all sorts of deals and dickers for the purpose of saving their candidate for receiver of taxes, who Is, as already known, tho brother-in-law of David Martin. The second reason that makes the contest of interest to the people of Pennsylvania is the fact that It repre sents the death struggle of the odious Philadelphia combine, an organization that has more than once- brought the blush of shame to the cheek of the Re publicans of Pennsylvania. If the solf respecting Republicans who are light ing Mr. Martin within party lines suc ceed In defeating that dictatorial boss it win De tne best thing that ever hap pened to the Republican party. If on the other hand Mr. Martin succeods in thwarting the will of the people he will be more strongly entrenched in power than ever before, and will con tinue to bring odium upon the party at large. It begins to look as if the Hon. John Wanamaker was flirting for the lnde pendent nomination for governor next year. He Is still In. politics, and that in Itself means that he still has a desire to gratify his personal ambitions. He makes no concealment of the fact that he is In sympathy with David Martin and of the fact that he desires to see Brother-in-law Roney re-elected to the position of reoelver of taxes. His ar gument is that the success of Martin at this time would mean the decline of Quay In the near future. The so-called Business Men's association of this city, which is a purely fake organization. run for the glorification and benefit of self seeking clique that have their own interests and not those of the peo ple at heart, has issued a proclamation telling the people of Philadelphia what a terrible calamity It would be If David Martin should happen to be beaten In the present struggle. Such a screed as this is has simply disgraced the league in the eyes of all right thinking peo ple. They now begin to see that pecu liar organization In Its true charac ter. There are no doubt some sincere men enrolled on its books, but they are simply being used by a coterie of au dacious men who have their own pur poses to serve. The active men in this concern are Rudolph Blankenburg, P. A. Van Val- kenbeTg, Thomas Dolan and Prank Willing Leach. Mr, Leach, however, works under cover, having rooms in the dlrard building, within a stone's throw of Mr. wanamaker's rjrlvate office. Their whole ambition Is not to knock out Quay alone, but to overthrow Quay and then make Mr. Wanamaker gov ernor, or United states senator, or mayor, or any old thing that will come his way. It la evident that this will be no easy task. The names of Mr. Wan amaker and Mr. Dolan, his principal baoker, are too closely identified with the recent action by which Philadel phia's valuable gas works were delib erately turned over to a private cor poration of which Mr. Dolan is presi dent and Mr. Wanamaker Is one of the conspicuous stockholders. Mr. Wan amaker even went so far as to appear before the councils committee and' ad- vocate the lease of the works to this private corporation. On that occasion he admitted that he was a stockholder in the United das Improvement com pany. The people are thoroughly aroused over this outrageous rape of their mu nicipal rights. A mass meeting was held In the Academy of Music for the purpose of protesting against the grab. Wayne MacVeagh was the prinolpal speaker of the evening, and he excori ated all those who were in any way connected with the proposition to take the gas jorks away from the people without the consent of the people. He aroused the large audience to a tre mendous pitch ot enthusiasm when he declared In a voice of thunder and in a manner that will never be forgotten that the finger ot scorn would be point ed at all those who were concerned In the outrageous steal. He added: "Every councilman who votes for this bill will have branded across his forehead In Indelibly letters these words, 'Bribed by the rich to rob the poor.' " No one can truthfully accuse either Mr. Wanamaker or Mr. Dolan of the use of improper means to further this transfer of the gas works, but the mere fact that one Is an officer and the other a stockholder of the compuny which is the beneficiary of the ordinance does not Increase their popularity with the public, now any one of them oan buo- oessfully aspire to public office at the hands of the people la a problem dif ficult to understand. Congressman William A. Stone Isever alert, not only In looking after the in terests ot his constituents, but also In watching for the rights of the old sol dier. A tew days ago he eame out ahead In u contest with the Washing ton polloe In which the comfort of an old soldier Was at stake. A decrepit etoran from Pennsylvania hobbled on crutohes through the Capitol on sight seeing expedition. He became tired, and, seeing a row ot six unoccu pied benohes In the rotunda, he made for them and sat down to rest A po llceman instantly made for him. "Get up from there," he runiinanded. "Don't you st'c that aitrn ui ihi-ie?." pointing to (Depend which bore the words, "These benches exclusively for ladles." The veteran protested that ho was tired out and that as the benches were not In use he felt that an old man who had lost a leg in his country's defense might be permitted to us a small space on one of them. "It makes no difference," declared the policeman. "My orders from the police board a. re to keep men out ot these seats. You must move on." The old soldier gathered up his crutches and prepared to move on Just as Colonel Stone cam passing through. The colonel Is a veteran himself, and, seeing a comrade In distress, lie In quired the cause. The veteran ex plained and Colonel Stone lost his temper. "Sit right down again on that bench," he exclaimed, "and stay there until you get rested." Then, turning to the policeman, the colonel denounced his conduct in rather strong language, and added that he would have that sign taken down If he had to get a resolu tion through the house to do It. The officer walked oft and left the colonel and the veteran swapping war remi niscences on the "ladies' bench." Last night the captain of the Capitol police called on Colonel Stone, and o day the sign over-the benches was re moved. Hereafter old somiers can al ways find a resting place In the rotun da of the Capitol. David Martin Is In desperation over the fight that is being made against him In Philadelphia by the Republican league, and In order to strike back Is maldng wholesale discharges of all municipal employes who are not tor Roney. The members of the league are not in any way dismayed at the work of "Headsman" Martin. Blnce the time of the first discharge they have felt assured that he would not stop at the few, and have dally expected and look ed for the ahnoucement of the removal of their friends in the departments which Martin controls. They assert that the "boss" is near the end of his tether; that he has un covered all his guns, and that his am munition is exhausted. That the removals can have- no ef fect except to make the people in the movement to destroy the mastery of Martin and his domination of the Re publican party and the party organiza tion more determined In their efforts than ever. His action is regarded as showing his disappointment a spleen, and is a confession of the weakness of the cause of his brother-in-law. Fur ther, they say that notwithstanding the bitterness of the contest for sheriff, he did not order any removals th.n, and that his use of the ax now Is proof of his desperation. Instead ot harming the league and the cause which It Is battling the removals of these men (many of them with families) at this Christmas season will be looked on as striking a blow at their wives and chil dren, which the public will resent, and the cause of the people against the bosslsm of "Martin and his men" will be strengthened.

Mr. Pearson, of North Carolina, Who In augurated the Movement For Remod eling the Law, Thinks a Satis factory Measure Will be Prepared; Washington, Dec. 14. The outlook for changing the civil Hervtce law is being actively canvassed among Re publican members of the house, as a result of the conference held Saturday night. The members of the special com mittee having the matter in charge are trying to so Bhape the bill that it will command the support of a number of divergent elements. One of these is the Democratic minority, which, com bined with the Republicans opposed to the present law, would be strong enough to carry a bill. But in canvass ing the situation It has been found that Democratic members would favor a complete repeal ot the law, but would oppose anything short of a repeal. As the Republican movement Is not toward complete repeal, but rather for modification of the law, there appears to be no basis upon which the antl clvll service reformers of both parties can unite. It is claimed, however, that a modification bill will receive the votes of two-thirds of the Republican mem bers, and will have a good chance of passing the senate and receiving the president's signature. Mr. Pearson, of North Carolina, who Inaugurated the movement, and is a member of tfce special committee, says the essential modifications of the law likely to be considered by the commit tee are as follows: Excluding from the operations ot the law cases In which one government officer Is responsible for the acts of his subordinate, as deputy collectors ot revenue: examination of those al ready covered into the classified ser vice without examination, so as tp put them on a footing with new appll cants: change of examinations- so as to make them more practical and less theoretical; distinct provision against life tenure and for a stated t?rm of service; affirmation of the right of heads of departments to remove, reduce or promote In the Interest of the public; a limitation of the law to specific de partments, bureaus, etc., and exclusive of those not enumerated. .
