DAY by day the political sky grows
darker for Matthew 5. Quay. Some
time ago we told our readers that
the independent republican element
was by no means pleased with the nom-
ination of Boss Quay for state treasur-
er. As the campaign wakes warmer
the voice of that opposing element
makes itself heard here and there. Hon.
Charles Wolf, the renowned independ-
ent leader of Union county, has pro-
claimed his intention of mot voting
for Quay" The republican represent
ative from Erie county, Hon. Silver
thorn, is opposed to Quay. The iEde-
pendent republican newspaper of Della
ware county, Chairman Cooper's home,
pitches into Quay in decisive and
merciless manner. Last but not least,
Geo. z. Mapes, an ex-representatiye in
the assembly from Vanango County
and at present resident of Philadel-
phia i'm recent interview with Times
reporter furnished a brief sketch of the
Kemble bribery scandal. which was up
for trial i'm 1880, and at which Kemble
and three other members plead guilty
of bribing voters in the assembly to
cast their ballots in favor of the bill
approp-iating 81 100000 to pay the loss
es caused by the Pittsburg riots in
1877. Mr.. Mapes winds up by the fol-
lowing remarks alluding directly to the
Republican candidate for State Treas.
urer:
Matthew ). Quay. the present Re-
publican candidate for State Treasurer,
was member of the Pardon Board.
HIS Recommendation of the parduns in
these cases ought to cost him Repnbli-
can votes. The venerable Judge Pear
son, himself an ardent Republican. in
his charge to the Grand Jury that
found the indictments against Kemble
and his associates, and again In his
charge to the jury that convicted Pet
rolf. characterized bribery as a crime
that struck at the very foundations of
society and government. Mr.. Quay by
his official action as a member Of the
Pardon Board, declared that he COM
mitted no crime at all. or of so trivial
nature as not to deserve serious pun
ishment. There is no evidence that he
has changed his views, or that he
would not do the same thing over again
ii he had the opportunity. The Re
publicans who take the Pearson view of
the crime of bribery cannot consistently
vote for the man who took the Quay
view of it. I have too high an opinion
of the Republicans Of Pennsylvania not
to think that there are thousands of
them who will take the Pearson rather
than the Quay view of the matter.

we'll as important places in Europe, are
sending in large quota. in fact, where
at the outset, the filling of the oceans
vacant space caused the promoters OF
the enterprise no inconsiderable a
mount OF anxiety, the situation has In
tire past few montl sheen entirely revers-
ed and the management deem 1t their
duty TO inform those intending exhibit
tors who have not yet applied for space
to do so at once, ere it be too late.
While this is,ofcourse,a "a very gratifying
state Of affairs, that the management
is able to announce, still it shows the
necessity of city and individual eXhib-
itors who have thus far failed to make
applications for space doing so imme-
diately. There is no longer any ques-
ton Of the success of the American
Exposition IL has been constructed

commercial problem of the day-the Sc
curing of an outlet for our surplus
manufactured products. The non
manufacturing countries Of Spanish
and Portuguese America are looked to
for the relief needed, At the coming
Exposition they will contrast their res
ources with ours, and afford the oppor-
tunity of reaching an early under

Business Reviving.

The following encouraging para
graphs from an editorial in Saturdays
Philadelphia Times should inspire all
business men with hope and gives
clear reasons why we may look for
better times in the near future:
The general revival of business is
visible on every side. tits no specu-
lative boom whose ebb is ever as sud-
den as it's flow. Tt is not in any de
gree the effect of combination to force
the temporary advance of values. 1t
is not the birth of Third street or of
Wall street. 1t is the natural, logical
returning tide of business prosperity
that has its fountain in the productive
wealth, the enforced frugality and the
general solveney of the country. New
er in the history of the last quarter of
q century were all business and indus
trial circles as conservative as they
are to-day, and the revival of business
now certainly at hand, must be sub
stantial and enduring because it has
the broadcast and safest basis on which
to rest.
In all the many seasons of honest
prosperity of the past, this country
has never been as universally prosper
GUS as it is to-day. The balance of
trade is well maintained in our favor

nish an immense surplus for the

HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept. 2O.-A young
son or Edward Tarnbach died here to-
day from the effects of haZing receiv-
ed last Wednesday at the hands of sew
eral of his schoolmates. The scholars
of a public school to which young Turn
bach had just been admitted, make a
practice of initiating new scholars by
making them run the gauntlet through
two lines of ten to twenty boys on each
side, they punching the victim with
their fists as he passes through. They
injured the little fellow so badly in the
region of the kidneys that he died to-
day in great agony.
