Well done, Mr.. Blaine.

Whatever else may come of the dellDer-
ations of the Pan-American Congress, the
agreement arrived at to hereafter settle all
national disputes between any two OF the
Republics of North, South and Central
America and Hayti by arbitration will be
esteemed as more than justifying all the
labor and expense that have attended the
sittings of the delegates. The only excep-
ton from matters of dispute which must be
arbitrated is in case a nation may believe
its independent existence at stake, when
arbitration may be declined. The agree
ment of the Congress is at once binding
upon all the parties to it except the United
States, the assent of which will not have
been completed until after ratification by
the Senate. The treaty is to remain IN
force twenty years after ratifieations shall
have been exchanged. After that time any
nation dissatisfied with its terms may with
draw upon one years notice.
This assurance of good understanding
among the States of America ought to have
its effect in greatly reducing military and
naval expenditures. 1t ought also to be
an impressive lesson for the older States OF
Europe, which are wasting the resources OF
their people in maintaining vast military
organizations to insure peace by perpetual
readiness for war. An agreement of the
great Powers to arbitrate their difficulties
would be the longest stride toward the
millennium that Christianized nations have
ever de-Philiadelphia Record

Quay and Filter.

A dispatch f. ON Philadelphia, dated last
Friday, said: Senator Quay left this city
to-day much troubled in spirit and with
gloomy thoughts of the Delamater can
vass. Tonight his forces are shattered,
and if Delamater is to obtain any delegates
at all in Philadelphia he will have to fight
as he never fought before to get them.
Mayor Filter and Senator Quay held
their final conference to-day. 1t lasted
two hours, and when Senator Quay left the
Mayors house, he was in an ugly frame of
mind. So angry was he that he declined
to see his most intimate friends, and he
hastily bundled up his traps anddisappear-
ed.
Quay failed to move the Mayor in his
allegiance to Hastings. Filter called upon
Quay to heed the warning on all sides and
not provoke the threatened revolt by
forcing Delamater on the ticket. The
Senator tried to evade the issue by saying
that Delamater had made his own
| fight and that he coald not take him out.
His Honor replied that he would do every
thing in his power to send a solid delega
ton from Philadelphia to the State Con
vention for Hastings.
The Mayor next sent for Charles A. Por-
ter, Chairman of the Republican City Com
mittee, and told him his ultimatum. Por-
ter has always been one of Quay's trusted
leutenants and shares honors with Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue Martin in boSsing
the Quay machine in Philadelphia. When
Porter left the Mayor he proceeded to the
| Quay headquarters and sent cold shiver
down the backs of the Quay crowd by an
nouncing:
gentleman, am for Hastings, and as
have pledged myself to the Mayor, l will
do all can to elect Hastings delegates"
This is the first serious break in the Quay
| ranks, and when Senator Delamater was
| subsequently informed OF Porter having
| turned in with the Mayor be said:
"I will win without Philadelphia"
| But nevertheless Delamater was as much
annoyed as Quay at Porter's detection.
! The situation now looks as if Hastings
will get from % to 80 delegates out of the
| 80 to which Philadelphia is entitled, and
perhaps more.
Senator Quay felt confident last night
that he would succeed in pulling the
Mayor away from Hastings, but he missed
| it. He found Filter more stubborn man
than he calculated and he lost
There is no doubt now that the Mayor
will order n fight all along the line. 1t is
predicted that Collector Martin, who is
| still standing by Quay, will make only a
half hearted fight against Filter because he
| owes much to the Mayor.
When James McManes was informed OF
| the Mayors coup tonight he said he failed
| to see where Delamater would even make
| respectable showing at the Philadelphia
primaries. 1t is reported that Ex-Governor
Hoyt is ready to join the Independents if
| Delamater is nominated.

"The Day We Celebrate"

At the meeting of the Union Veteran
Leeion.on " ednesday evening of last week,
Mr.. W. A. Clark responded to the above
toast as follows:
1--WE are met tonight to celebrate the
anniversary of the silver wedding of the
forced union Of these United States.
Twenty-Five years ago to-day Gen. Lee
and his army surrendered-gave up the
attempt to divide the Union, and the
word was flashed all over the civilized
world that the war of the rebellion was at
an end. Some of my comrades who are
present tonight were eye-witnesses TO
that glorious scene. OH how many hearts
were made glad on that eventful day; how
many fond fathers and loving mothers,
whose sons had been battling for the
right. and who had escaped death, re-
ioiced and thanked God that theeruel war
was over; how many noble, true and low
ing wives wept for joy at the prospect OF
having husbands and fathers safely nome
again: how many sweethearts Went almost
wild with eestacy at the very thought OF
knowing that their lovers had been spared
how their hearts swelled with JOY and
pride-iov to know that they would meet
loved ones again, and to feel that their
hardships. their wounds their patriotism
had saved the Union, and preserved Tor
them, their loved ones and posterlty, the
greatest and best republic on the earth.
NV friends is it not right and proper, that
we should celebrate the ninth day OF
April? Can you not join heartily with us
in celebrating the surrender of Apo
matoxl Could we forget our comrades
who ended their earthly labors, our Joy
tonight might be almost unalloyed; put
as members of the Union Veteran Legion
we here pledge ourselves to honor ana tote
all ir0rthy comrades tcho Jought F" tHe
Union cause. and helped to terminate that
bloody war. upon the day we celebrate
7 cannot close without requesting the sons
81 decaaSed- -enmrades
! to remember this, the day your fathers
loved to celebrate, and always be ready 10
defend the Government in whose cause
your fathers fought when the bloody hand
of treason sought its overthrow and de-
struction. And comrades of the Union
Veteran Legion, let US continue to cele-
brate in an appropriate manner, the day
upon which so many hearts were made
glad, the day upon which we completed
our oath bound contract with the Govern
ment, to continue to battle for its preserva-
ton for three years more or during the
war-the day that settled the question OF
State rights forever; the day that com.
pleted the freedom of three millions of
human beings; the birthday of universal
liberty; the completion of an inseparable
union of States; the birthday of De-
mocracy in truth; the completion of re
public that has no equal-and as we march
on nearer and nearer to the final roll call,
let US continue to celebrate the day so
pregnant with grand achievements. Ny
comrades, let us not forget that true happi-
hess consists in battling for the right, and
let us continue to fight on and on to the
end, and try to consummate the grand
achievements begun on the day we cele-

The State Canvass

A recent dispatch from Washington,
said: -
The recent visit of State Chairman An
drews to Washington has developed
suspicion that new program has been
agreed upon in regard to the Guberna-
4orial canvass in Pennsylvania, namely:
that the slaughtering of Delamater is to be
done by the Chairman, while Quay keeps
his hands out of the matter. 1t would be
Just as effective to have Andrews show
. marked Indifference to Delamater's sue
cess as to have Senator Quay pronounce
against him. while it would relieve Quay
of the charge Of having been forced by
public sentiment to abandon candidate
whom he allowed to be understood was
his particular choice as a successor to
Governor Beaver.
Under the caption, Senator Delama-
ter" the Philadelphia Press, in leading
editorial, publishes the charges made by
ex-senator Emery in his Bradford speech,
and says:
1--WE are not prepared to believe that
such charges can successfully stand against
Senator Delamater. He is young man of
concededly high ability and honorable
ambition and at this time leading candi
date for the Republican, nouilnailun foi
Governor of the State. He cannot afford
to remain silent under accusations such as
these and coming with the emphasis and
from the source that these do.
s'Senator Delamater owes it not merely
to himself, but to the Republican party,
whose candidate for the great office Of
Governor he expects to be, to meet these
charges fully and completely and so stran-
gle them that there shall never again be a
chance for anybody either inside or ont
side the party to use them. This is due
the Republican people, who are now. in
possession of but one side of the story, and
who may wrongly construe absolute 81
lence. Delay or failure to make convinc-
ing answer cannot but prove unfortunate.
1.-THE Press makes this request of Sena.
tor Delamater in behalf of the Repub-
hcans of the State. 1t has taken no sides
In the canvass for the Gubernatorial nomi-
nation; its candidate for Governor will be
the nominee of the convention. The
party requires, however, that the nominee,
whosoever he may be, shall be one against
whose character no charges can be sue
cessfully made. Senator Delamater can
doubtless refute ex-senator EmeryS allega-
tions, and he ought to satisfy the whole
Republican party of that fact. They
are of too serious a nature To go un-
answered.

IT is not safe for the Republicans to
count upon an easy victory this year. The
State ticket must be selected wisely and
with practical unaminity, and the local
tickets must be made up of men unexcept-
ionable in character and must be support
cd with unwaverirg loyalty by all Repub-
icans. This is no year for the exhibition
of personal jealousies or the assertion Of
unwarranted personal ambitions. Send
the men of experience to the front, the
men with cool heads and willing hands
for counsel and work, and above all place
no reliance on predictions Of Democratic
dissensions, at least until after the conven-
tion. .-Kittanning Press.
