If Ever Man Needed Tongue the Penn.
syIvania Senator Needs His Now.
For 10 these many moons we have
been patiently waiting for Hon.
Matthew Stanley Quay, United States
Senator from Pennsylvania and pillar of
the Republican party, to reply to the
charges of theft, bribery, corruption and
fraud which have been flying about his
head thicker than flakes driven by a
snowstorm. That they have reached
the ears of this immaculate professor of
Christian politics and conservator of
Pennsylvania morality can not be
doubted, for there is not city in the
country where they have not been
printed, and not platform from which
he has not been denounced.
When Kennedy a member of his own
party, Ole of those who are supposed
to humbly crave knowledge at the
Quay footstool, and to learn politics
las she is taught from the notorious,
we can not say illustrious, Pennsylva
MAN, forgot his allegiance to the Repub-
lican master, and applied to him some
epithets which could not pleasantly af-
feet the feelings of an honest man. we
were promised that the taciturn Sena-
tor would at least emerge from his long
silence and fire bomb whose explo-
sion would roar above the small arms
of his opponent like the discharge of
an Armstrong gun amid the fire of mus
kerry. But we are still waiting, and
an expectant country will not be salts
fled until it shall have received an auto
biography of Hon. Quay, with full
confession Of his life and virtues
Perhaps, in the language of Chat
ham, the noble Senator pauses for re-
ply, and when our ears are attuned to
the proper degree we shall hear the re-
port of his answering gun.
Unless Mr. Quay replies to Mr.. Ken
nedy's strain of inyective it will no
longer be of avail for any of his party
friends to exert themselves in his de-
Tense. Even in politics. where mud is
often slung, an honorable man, unjust

course, and, though these have been at
the service of the Pennsylvania Sena-
tor, he has never used them. If he in
tends to make any answer the present
is the proper time, or his own confess
sion will be added to the accusation of

sirous of arriving at the truth and the

tleman's motives in the least, but l do
hone now that in order to relieve the

This was pretty plain talk, and it APP
peared to penetrate the rhinocerous
hide of the gentleman from Ohio, who
rose and said that while he felt that
there was nothing in the charges
against General Raum in any way af-
fecting him, in order to satisfy the
other side of the House and the coun-
try, in duty to himself he most respect
fully asked to be relieved from further
service on the committee. There were
no dissenting votes when the Speaker
asked unanimous consent to relieve the
gentleman. = Washington Cor. n. Y.

THE SMYSER SCANDAL.

An Eyewitness Account of a Disgrace
full Chapter in the Raum Case.
Representative Smyser, of Ohio. who,
several weeks ago, was appointed a
member of the special committee to in
vestigate the management of the Pen
sion Bureau under Commissioner Raum,
rose in his place and admitted that
while sitting in Judgment upon the
Commissioner he was himself financial
ly interested in the chief scheme, by
the aid of which, it has been alleged,
Raum has been able to swindle the
clerks in his employ and defraud the
Government of services which should
have been devoted exclusively to official
duties.
The charge and the confession pro-
duced genuine sensation, but the
spectacle that followed was even more
remarkable. Smyser attempted justi-
fication amid the groans and Kisses Of
his colleagues on both sides of the
chamber, and sat down without with
drawing from the committee. He would
doubtless still be a membe of it but for
the action of Representative Morrill,, of
Kansas, chairman of the special COM
mittee and political associate of Mr..
Smyser Mr.. Morrill, rose in his seat
and poin tedly suggested to the reluctant
Ohloan the propriety of resigning. The
episode was decidedly edifying, and the
reflection upon Speaker Reed was SO
strong that he FASTENED to disavow any
knowledge of Smyser's connection with
the Raum enterprises.
Represen tative Cooper of Indiana, to
whom credit is due for whatever light
the Republican majority of the Raum
committee permits to be shed on the
recent management of the Pension
Office, sprang the mine that carried Mr..
Smyser off his feet. Rising to ques-
ton of personal privilege, he called at
tention to the fact that one of the
charges made in the resolution offered
by him for the investigation of the Com
missioner of Pensions was that the
Commissioner was selling stock in
refrigerator company to employees of
the Pension Office. II have in vain
attempted to obtain the names of the
stockholders in the concern" said he.
To-day / have learned, and this know
ledge is borne out by the testimony,
that one of the mem ers of the inves-
tigating committee-Represe NJ.
L. Smyser, of Ohio-is one of the stock
holders. l therefore offer resolution
discharging Mr.. Smyser from the COM
mittee, and directing the Speaker to
appoint his successor
1t was plain Mr.. Smyser would not
take hint; his colleagues therefore,
prepared to administer the lesson Rep
resentative Morrill,. of Kansas, chair
man of the committee, tried to let him
down easily, but only succeeded in ad-
ministering singing rebuke. ut is

of the committee" said he, ITO say that
the first intimation they have had that
one of the members had stock in the
refrigerator company was when the
books were produced. The conduct of

cans the truth about Ireland" said Mr..
O'Brien. as he accompanied the officer.
The charge against Mr. O'Brien was
the same as against Mr.. Dillon, that of
melting tenants not to pay rent and of
advocating the boycott in speeches at
Limerick and New Tipperary. A war
rant is also out for Mr.. Dalton, and
the police are watching the League
rooms in Dublin. 1t is believed
that warrants are out for many
persons connected with the League, and
that the government has determined,
during the recess of Parliament to
crush out, if possible, all opposition to
its policy in Ireland.
Mrs. O'Brien went on the same train
that took her husband to prison. Lord
Salisbury is said to be deeply incensed
against Mr.. ,O'Brien, who, in his
Limerick speech, called Lord Salisbury
libeler and blackmailer. Much excite
ment prevails both in Ireland and En-
gland over the arrests, and the opinion
is generally expressed that the object
of the government is to prevent Messrs.
Dillon and O'Brien from going on their
tour and gaining American sympathy
and contributions for the Irish cause.
LONDON Sept. 19.-The sudden whole
sale arrest of Irish leaders gives rise to
4 variety of speculations as to the mo-
tives which has inspired the govern
ment to enter upon this new crusade
against Nationalism. From those we'll
informed, however, we learn that the
movement which has caused such
10 ho
suit of pressure brought to bear
upon the government by the Irish
Tories, who feared tn at Mr.. O'Brien was
arranging a campaign against several
large estates similar to the one so sue
cessfully carried out on the Smith
Barry lands at Tipperary. Barry's
great wealth enables him to subdivide
the force left on his domains, but
there are many cases in which
such an exodus would mean ruin to the
landlords. Mr.. O'Brien was also cred
tied with the intention of utilizing the
distress caused by the potato blight as
a means of stirring up feeling against
the landlord system, which would be
charged with the responsibility of keep
ing the people too poor to accumulate
even the few pounds required to help
them through an occasional bad season.
The suggestion to nip the scheme in
the bud by wholesale capture of Mr..
O'Brien and his friends on general
charges of technical violation of the
law, came originally from the Dublin
Castle authorities, but was readily &C.
guessed in by Secretary Balfour. Doubt
less a desire to prevent the proposed
American tour of O'Brien, Dillon and
others had its weight among the motives
leading to the arrests, but this is not
belle we'd to hare been the principal in
centive. Mr.. O'Brien's last trip through
America and Canada did not have suffi-
cient effect in evoking ill-feeling
against England nor in swelling the
contrib tions 10 the Irish campaign
funds, to justify any great apprehen-
sions as to the result of the expected
tour

How Maine Was Carried.

The means by which the Republicans
carried Maine were most desperate.
Reed sent a dozen members of Con-
gress into his district to stump it in
his behalf; other parts of the State
were nearly as we'll supplied with wind
power: in several counties large num-
bers of Democratic names were left off
the poll-Iists; Democrats were in many
cases refused the privilege of regis
tration; money was spent freely in the
vicinity of the polls, and open bribery
is charged. In this way the full Re-
publican vote was brought cut, ami
thousands of Democratic votes illegally
suppressed. Chicago Globe.
