FREELAND, PA., DECEMBER 4, 189!).
A Majority Still Against Hi in.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The legislature of Pennsylvania re
fused to re-elect Mr. Quay to the sen
ate because it did not want him there.
It showed this through the long months
of the session when the footings of tin*
ballot disclosed day after day that tin-
Quay supporters were a decided min
ority of the legislature.
The Quay vote was strong enough,
however, to prevent the election of an}
other Republican, and it did so, the
legislature adjourning without having
made an election. Governor Stone then
straightway, as if by prearrangement.
appointed Mr. Quay to the vacancy.
When lie presents his credentials to
the senate next week Mr. Quay will find
them confronted by a petition protest
ing against his being seated signed al
ready by 132 members, a clear majority
of the legislature. Mr. Quay never was
and is not now the choice of the legis
lature whose constitutional privilege it
is to fill the vacancy caused by the ex
piration of his former term.
When it was proposed some years ago
to admit a senator appointed by a gov
ernor to fill a vacancy caused by the ex
piration of a term, Senator Conkiing, of
New York, objected, because "if thai
power exists the governor by collusion
with a majority of the legislature could
from time to time put off an election
and fill the vacancy out of his own crea
tures and suit himself."
This case is even stronger, since ii
shows that if the power claimed exists
the governor, by collusion with a min
ority of the legislature, may 111 1 the
vacancy with the very candidate whom
the legislature has deliberately rejected.
The United States senate has never
ad mi ted a senator from a state after
the legislature has had the matter be
fore it and failed to elect. Much less
has it admitted a senator who lias been
actually rejected by his legislature. Ali
the senate precedents in an unbroken
line are against seating Mr. Quay. Ho
cannot be given a seat without lloutiug
in the face of the legislature whicli re
jected him and tramping under foot
the protest of a majority of its members.
No candidate for admission by ap
pointment ever came to the senate with
so weak a case as Mr. Quay does in his
present application. The senate would
have not only to reverse itself but to
stultify itself in order to give him the
seat lie claims under Governor Stone's
appointment.
Some more frauds at the late election
in Philadelphia have been discovered.
This time it is a division in the Twelfth
ward. Some idea of the utter reck
lessness of the ballot-box stuffers i>
shown by such facts as the following:
The assessor's list contained 208 names,
about one-half of whom are known to
represent bona-lide citizens who voted.
The election board, however, returned
252 votes cast, of which 247 were re
turned for Barnet and 5 for Creasy!
Ono of tho members of the election
board had just been released from serv
ing a term of three years in the peniten
tiary, the name of one of the other
officers was not on the assessor's list
and tho person who acted is not a res
ident of the ward. The names of one
hundred dead men were voted on by
repeaters, or the ballots stuffed into the
box by the election board.
"The Cubans distrust the Ameri
cans," is the explanation given by an
officer, who has spent a good deal of
his time in Cuba, for the discontent
recently uianifestod. They believe that
our government does not intend to
give them the independence they have
beon fighting for so many years. The
same officer expresses the hope that
In his forthcoming message the presi
dent will say something which will
give renewed assurance to the Cub&us
that it is tho fixed purpose of this coun
try to redeem every promise and pledge
made. Wilkesbarrc Record.

ARE WE IDOLATERS?
DEWEY'S CASE GOES FAR TO PROVE
THE AFFIRMATIVE.
Some Relied lons on the Slokenlnir
Gusli Over the Hero of Muulla b.v a
Fickle Public.
(By Andrew J. Palm.)
Come easy, go easy, Is likely to find
a good illustration in the case of Ad
miral Dewey's popularity, which, like
Jonah's gourd, sprung up In a night.
But a few months ago not one person
in a thousand knew there was such a
man in existence. He had never said
anything nor done anything that was
considered worthy of record. A few
months later men were yelling them
selves hoarse over George Dewey. Met
ropolitan newspapers used wood type
in order to get letters large enough to
print his name becomingly on their
front page. Women went wild in their
enthusiasm, and thousands would have
willingly given up a spring bonnet
for the privilege of kissing Admiral
Dewey. Men and women racked their
brains to suggest something grand
enough to offer him as a testimonial of
their idolatry. No minister, statesman,
author, scientist or philanthropist was
ever so lauded by tongue and pen as
this man. whose notoriety was due
wholly and enttrely to the fact that lie
destroyed by his orders six million
dollars' worth of property in 60 min
utes.
SELECTING A GIFT.
It was finally decided that he should
be given a house as a testimonial of
a nation's love. Men who never gave
a dollar to true charity in their lives
hastened to get their names as near
the head of the list as possible. Wo
men, some of whom owed their grocer
and butcher debts of long standing,
contributed t&eir mite. When the pro
ject was fairly under way word came
from some source that the great Dewey
was too noble and high spirited to ac
cept anything that smacked of charity.
The great papers then, those that were
not trying to raise a fund to buy a
Dewey sword or a Dewey gun or raise
money for a Dewey memorial album, or
something or other to give their hero,
were quick to say that this might have
been expected; that anybody might
have known that Dewey wus too great
a man to yield to the sordid impulses
that dominate ordinary mortals. The
house project was then dropped for
the time, but very soon report came
that the great admiral had been mis
quoted; he would condescend to take
a house, just a little one worth $25,000
or $30,000, if it were the gift, as he well
knew it would lie. of a large number of
people. He did not want to be hard
on a few, as was the case with McKin
ley when Mark Hanna got first mort
gage on him by paying a large share
of his heavy indebtedness. Dewey was
frank enough to intimate that lie would
like it still better if, while the hero
worshipers were about it, they would
raise enough to furnish the house, and
he would like to have it located in that
part of Washington near his club.
Then the newspapers were more en
thusiastic than ever. No matter what
he did or did not it was so much like
Dewey. The money raising went on,
and when 43,000 persons had subscribed
to the fund a house was selected,
bought, furnished and turned over as
a token "i lov< which a Christian peo
ple have for a man whose profession
and whose deeds are condemned in the
Christian's Bible, by which they pre
tend to be guided.
NEXT IS A BIRD FOR THE CAGE.
Having been given a handsome cage,
the admiral sought out a bird, and
after a few days of the honeymoon had
passed it was rumored that he was
about to transfer the house in fee sim
ple to his bride. This created a mur
mur of disapprobation, and it was an
nounced that he had reconsidered the
matter and the transfer would not he
made for the present. The present,
however, is short, not here until it has
become a part of the great past, and.
shocking to relate! within a week
comes the announcement that the
house presented to the nation's idol has
been given away not only once, hut
twice. Thou the indignation breaks
loose and is so strong as to cause the
admiral to wish that he had never been
horn, or at least that lie had never
been married and had a wife and son
to receive the present of a gift.
DON'T TALK, DEAR DEWEY.
Dewey has been provoked into talk
ing, and promises to give himself
away as completely as lie gave away
the house. He says: "If it were not
for my country I would wish that I had
never fought the battle of Manila."
It's astonishing how much some people
are "mashed" on their country. The
higher their salary and the more
gaudy the uniform the harder they love
their country. Dewey is as had as
Queen Victoria. A few days ago, when
she was bidding some soldiers god
speed on their mission of love and
mercy to kill Boers in South Africa,
she said: "T have called you here to
day, my soldiers, to say farewell lie
fore you cross the seas to a distant
part of my empire." She says "My
soldiers, my empire." Dewey says "My
battle of Manila." The captains, lieu
tenants, gunners, engineers and ma
rines. who imagine that they had some
share in the battle, will wonder where
they were at when Dewey fought it
all alone and single handed, it seems
hard for one man to be obliged to fight
his country's battles, and no doubt
when Dewey gets through with his
critics he will feel like the soldier in
Longstreet's corps, of whom General
Miles tells a story.
About 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning,
when everybody was tired, hungry and
sleepy a Georgia regiment stopped. A
soldier stood his rifle up against Gen
i eral Longstreet's tent and began to
| talk to himself. "Well," he said, "this
; is pretty tough, to fight all day and
| march all night. But 1 suppose J can
do it for my country; for I love my
country. I can go hungry, I can fight,
; I can die. if necessary, for my coun
i try, bur when this war is over I'll he
d —d if I'll ever love another country."
The ballot box stuffer in Philadel
phia should he punished to the full ex
tent of the aw, and so also should be
j the "leaders" who ordered the crimes
committed for the benefit of the Quay
piacliine.
TIiLASON REWARDED. "
A Democratic Deserter Gets a Fat
Job From McKlnloy,
From Shenandoah News.
! The announcement that President
; McKinley has appointed William D.
j Bynum, of Indiana, a member of the
| board of general appraisers, at a sal
ary of $7,000 a year, possesses special
interest to Democrats throughout the
country, and may even interest some
Republicans.
The name of Mr. Bynum is familiar
to active Democrats everywhere. He
served five terms in congress as a
Democrat from Indiana, but did noth
ing during his service in the house to
attract public attention or make him
famous. It was after the Chicago con
vention, in 1596, broke tiie fetters that
had fo* more than a quarter of a cen
tury held the Democracy in bondage to
the money power, that Mr. Bynum
came into prominence. He was a lead
ing spirit in organizing the gold Demo
cratic convention subsequently held in
Indianapolis, which nominated Palmer
and Buckner, the decoy ducks that
were intended to draw away Demo
cratic votes from Bryan and Sewell,
and thus elect McKinley and Hobart.
Mr. Bynum was chairman of the na
tional committee of the gold Demo
cratic organization, and as such la
bored zealously for the election of Mr.
McKinley. All the gold Democrats
who could be trusted to do so were ad
vised to vote the Republican ticket
straight, while those who were simple
enough to be gulled into supporting
the decoy ducks, but would not swal
low McKinley, were left to vote for
Palmer and Buckner.
That there was a perfect understand
in:; between the Republicans and tlie
gold Democrats no longer admits of a
doubt. President McKinley recog
nizes the value of the services rendered
the Republican organization by Mr.
Bynum and those associated with him
in the Palmer and Buckner organiza
tion, and rewards the treachery to De
mocracy by the appointment of Bynum
t< a i>!.'•> where he will receive $7,000
a year from the public treasury for
nominal service.
TRUSTS BAR YOUNG MEN.
So Declares Kx-Senntor Washburn,
or .Minnesota.
While Senator Ilanna and his hench
men, who advocate the cause of the
trusts solely because their hands are
in the truHt grab bag, and because
they are fed on the stock of these com
binations as a bonus for such advo
cacy, as proclaiming far and wide that
trusts are a necessity, that the work
ingmen cannot exist without them, and
that the country cannot hope to be
prosperous unless they flourish, one
feels an air of genuine relief when he
reads such utterances as those recent
ly made by ex-Senator Washburn, of
Minnesota, who speaks from an honest
and unbiased point of view, in a very
recent interview the senator said:
"The present situation, to the good
citizen, the good Republican and the
man who loves his country, is really
alarming," said Mr. Washburn, "and
It is more largely owing to the rapid
formation of what is called the trust
than any other agency. This trust
craze has changed the nature of things.
"When I was a young man—l am
now 98—T had the world before me,
and there was an absolutely fair field
for me. Take all of our most success
ful business men of today, and their
experiences were like mine. They en
tered the race without a handicap, and
their grit and capacity won. Now this
building up of trusts puts a stop to
fair and equal opportunities for the
young men of today. The young man
just out of college has no opening, as
a rule. He cannot begin business on
his own account against organized cap
ital. He just joins the procession. He
must content himself with being u
mere clerk, and the chances are that
he will never get any further, because
there are so many in his class. This
makes the situation a serious one, and
I am sorry for the young man of today.
He comes out of school bright, eager
and enterprising and runs against
economic conditions that are too much
for him. T can't help feeling that if
he had the same chance that I had
when I was a young man it would he a
great thing for him. He hasn't got it.
I've studied the situation and I'm sure
of what I'm saying."
Ilow to End the War.
From New York World.
Who began the war in the Philip
pines is a matter of less consequence
than how to end it. But when the
president says, as he did at Pittsburg.
"The first blow was struck by the in
surgents," and his newspapers defend
ers repeat that statement daily, it is
well to rememebr the contrary state
ment made by General Otis in a report
to the president dated Feb. 4, 1899. He
said:
"Firing upon the Filipinos and the
killing of one of them by the Ameri
cans. leading to returning tire. The
chief insurgent, leaders did not wish
to open hostilities at that time."
A letter from an American volunteer
has been published, in which he claim
ed the honor of firing the shot on our
picket line which brought on the first
engagement.
But be this as it may, the stopping
of the war, which Admiral Dewey and
General Ludlow unite in deploring, is
now the main concern of all true
Americans, Away to do this with
honor is suggested by an army officer
at, Manila in a letter to The Evening
Post, which vouches for him as one
who "fought all through the civil war
and the Cuban campaign." He says
of Hie conflict In the Philippines:
"This war is a wicked war. and is be
ing waged in a wicked way. All the
blood that lias been shed since May 1,
1898, is on the head of some one, and
will rise up in the judgment against
him."
And he advises that we say to the
Filipinos:
"We destroyed the Spanish fleet and
drove the Spanish army front Manila
as a war measure against Spain; that
having been accomplished, we became
responsible for the protection of life
and property on these islands. We did
not then believe you were capable of
doing this. We have since learned that
Admiral Dewey was right when he said
you were far superior to the Cubans
and capable of seir government. We
desire that you shall establish a gov
ernment that will protect life and prop
erty. We will aid you in doing this, and
when you have accomplished it we will
withdraw."
OLD-AGE PENSIONS.
STARTLING SCHEME PROJECTED IrV
| THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT.
| To Allow a Gratuity of Sl.'i") to $1.7 5
a Week to Everybody Over Sixty
five Years Old.
London Correspondence Pittsburg Dls-
I patch.
There Is every reason why the Uni
ted States should keep an eye on the
really momentous agitation in England
over old age pensions.
It is rather startling, when you come
to think of it, this idea of granting a
pension to almost everybody 65 years
old who wants it. And yet, stated on
its broadest lines, that is what the
British government seems committed
to tackle at the next session of parlia
ment. If the powerful agitation for
this plunge into state socialism suc
ceeds in England it will be a question
of only a little time before those who
would be benefited by such a policy
will be bringing it up in the United
States, despite the fact that labor there
is better paid and that pauprism is not
proportionately so extensive.
Every argument now being urged in
behalf of old age pensions in England
naturally applies to the United States,
and if the protests of many British
statesmen against the principle of the
thing prove powerless against the
united voices of British labor, the im
plication is, to put it mildly, that the
American cousin might do well to keep
an eye on the progress and the out
come of the debate.
When the select committee appoint
ed by parliament to consider the sub
ject of old age pensions made its sur
prising report recently it was supposed
generally in the United States, to judge
of the tone of editorial comment, that
the committee's positive and emphatic
endorsement of the idea, and its opin
ion that the state should make the at
tempt to put it into operation, was
simply a bit of harmless philosophiz
ing, put on paper and published in a
blue book for political purposes, and
intended to rest eventually in the par
liamentary burying round.
But there is plenty of evidence now
that this view was a mistake. Old age
pensions will be the most important
national topic, aside from war ques
tions, to be considered at the next ses
sion of parliament, and if a bill pro
viding for some scheme of old age pen
sions is not passed it will be only be
cause no agreement could be reached
on the extent to which the principle
should be applied and the way the $50,-
000,000 or so could be raised annually.
BECOMING A CRAZE.
The increase in the demand for old
age pensions in the last few months
has been remarkable. Some plan of
the sort has been before the British
eye ever since Canon Blackley em
bodied the idea 20 years ago,
Charles Booth, who is generally ad
mitted to be the foremost sociologist in
England, and perhaps in the world,
probably is responsible more than any
one else for the present agitation. He
gathered facts and figures with untir
ing patience, and the tabulated results
rather startled the public and caused
one former member of partliament to
break in upon the rejoicings of the
queen's jubilee by this public ques
tion:
"Does not her majesty reign over
more paupers than any other sover
eign or government in Europe?"
It was estimated that on one par
ticular day in 1892 one person out of
every five in the United Kingdom who
had reached the age of 65 years was in
receipt of public charity, and that one
person out of every three of this age
had applied for relief in the course of
the year. More astonishing yet, it
was found that one working man and
woman out of every two in the coun
try were more or less dependent on
public charity in their old age.
A LEADING POLITICAL TOPIC.
At the last general election the sub
ject of old age pensioners became a
leading topic in every political address,
and many candidates for parliament
had to pledge themselves for it more
or less definitely before they could
hope for election. The dividing line,
if it could be drawn anywhere, seems
to have been generally between the
working neople and the wealthier ele
ment rather than between Liberal and
Conservative.
THE GOVERNMENT SCHEME.
After long deliberation Mr. Chaplin's
committee recommended that a pension
of not less than $1.25 or more than
$1.75 a week, according to the cost of
living in the locality, should be given
to "any person who satisfies the pen
sion authority that he is a British sub
ject, is 65 years old, has not within
the last 20 years been convicted of an
offense and sentenced to penal servi
tude or imprisonment without the op
tion of a fine.
PENSIONS FOR EVERYBODY.
Let the chancellor of the exchequer
kick as he will, the agitation in favor
of Charles Booth's plan to give pen
sions to everybody who wants one and
has reached the age of 65 or 70, is
growing mightily. Government clerks
are figuring out what it would cost. At
present the best guess is $80,000,000 a
year, making due allowance for those
who, although entitled to a pension on
account of age. do not need it and will
therefore be expected to decline it.
Even so conservative a man as Car
dinal Vaughn has caught the prevail
ing fever. "Surely," he says, "the
rich are bound to tax themselves or to
be taxed for their poorer brethren. I
am always at a loss to understond why
the colossal incomes should not be
taxed at a higher rate than, say, the
average net income of the upper class
es. Ii is fitting that the surplus and
extravagance should be more heavily
taxed than ordinary and legitimate ex
penditure."
In view of the glaring frauds in
Philadelphia Chairman Reeder, instead
of rejoicing over the result of the re
cent elections, must feel more like a
man who has been aiding and abetting
crime. Every man who opposes a con
stitutional amendment to prevent elec
tion frauds is in a sense an aider and
| n bettor of the crimes committed against
| an honest expression of public opinion
