THE final finding in the quo warranto cases is likely to be that each of the can- didates on the democratic ticket, governor excepted, had majority over all. This is undoubtedly the conclusion that joint assembly of the two branches of the leg islature would have arrived at had one been held. It is pity that one could not be held, even now, so as to settle this matter, and to open the doors for legls- latiye work in sad need of being done.

NoW Ofk 1lln0S: The 1flonQS or LIT. Chauncey B. Ripley, of Westfield, N. J., who has been foremost for some years in providing good country roads for New Jersey, are urging his appointment for a commissionership under the national highway bill. Dr. Ripley's work in this line has been most jealous and effective. Practically all the legislation for improved roads in New Jersey was procured through his efforts, and the example set by New Jersey has been so widely followed that the demand for good roads now finds ex- pression in an act of congress. Dr. Rip ley's friends have every confidence that the mention of his name will at once sug- gest the fitness of his appointment, for in the pioneer work he did he was unspar- ing of himself, and with no personal re- ward in view he devoted his voice, pen and means to this worthy object until it commanded general attention and ap- proval.
 Hartford Post: In attendance, range of subjects discussed and notice which they have attracted in the newspapers, the has been not only 8 novelty. but a de- cided success. It speaks we'll for the progressiveness of the great denomina- tion which it represents and will doubt less be a fixture in the fixture. The school is undecided where to make it's permanent headquarters. The Thousand Islands have been favored, and fine sites there and in other places have been offered free. But why leave New London? New London's citizens, too, are generous. It is quaint, historic town, conveniently located, affording good accommodation and accessible excursions, and withal offers good climate and reasonable prices. Let the Catholic summer school favor Connecticut again with its presence. It will be welcome and will benefit itself.
 Hartford Post: The man who posters presidential candidate with 8 letter merely to get reply out of him to show to his friends, is not only an ass, but nuisance. He is making fool of him. self, primarily; and in the next place he seriously incommodes person whose time is very valuable and who is already sorely overtaxed. The dodge is not a smart but mean one, when you come to think of it. The authors of the class of l letters alluded to are usually insignificant persons, whose views the recipient really | cares nothing about; or they have per- sonal axes to grind and take advantage | of politics to do it. They simply levy mild species of blackmail, realizing that the person addressed will not usually run | the risk of ignoring their epistles for fear of losing few votes.

PITTSBURG INVITED

To Send a Delegate From tho Chamber Of
Commerce to Europe to Discuss the
Tariff, the Wage Question and tho EN-
ployment of Women.
George A. Kelly, President of the Cham
Der of Commerce, yesterday received let
ter from L. Strauss, President of the Inter
national League of Commercial Liberty,
asking for the appointment of delegate to
convention to be held in Antwerp in Au-
gust.
Mr.. Kelly replied that owing to the ad-
journment of the Chamber for the summer,
it would not be possible to select and send
a delegate.
The objects of the league are set forth in
the following circular:
The actual economic situation inspires
both business men and political onomists
with the greatest anxiety, not only in Cur
own country, but in most commercial and
Industrial countries of Europe and America.
Their anxiety is in regard to two things:
F1rst-Tarif reforms, and
Second-The regulation of manufacturing
industries.
For the past fifteen years many countries
have abandoned the policy. of free trade
which was inaugurated on the Continent in
1S60-ls6l, and have sought in a return to the
commercial and industrial crises from which
they have suffered. Was this not an error?
In increasing or strengthening the bar
lfers for the tariff, namely, in increasing the
tariff, have they not neutralized the effects
of the great public works as the construc-
tion of railroads, establishment of telegraph
communications and improved navigation?
Should they not, instead of restricting this
liberty, emphasize the custom reforms Of
ls6o-which were followed by an enormous
increase of commerce and industrial pur-
suits? Then, again, was it with good reason
that certain governments have changed
their political economy, and has that modi-
hcatiOn of their commercial system per-
mitted them to realize much progress or to
protect their interests any further than the
preceding rule?
For the other part, the principles Of the
social protection OF The workman which
have already made their way into lesisla-
tlon, or which tend to introduce themselves,
raise grave difficulties.
The regulation of work for women and
children, the limitation of hours of work,
the minimum of wages, ETC., are important
and complex questions to which we cannot
remain Indifferent. For twenty-five years it
was generally admitted that civil equality
and business interests ought to assure har-
mony of interests, but in this domain again
during Is years we have seen notions substi-
tuted for the principles of freedom, and a
question arises anew, What are the benefits
of this substitution? 1t is to elucidate these
questions that national congress of politi-
cal economists is to be held.

organization-the non-contributing and
non-managing members-have had place
Ito hang out in" as the saying is, and have
had good deal of fun besides at the lowest
possible cost The people of the neighbor-
hood have listened to strains of music and
admired fireworks
No one, except the politicians who can
well afford such burden. has lost anything
on account of the existence of the cam
paign club. At the same time the interests
of a party have been aided very slightly by
the fake club, and the loyalty and service
ableness of the genuine club has been, to
some extent, discredited and impugned.

John Cunningham Could Not Tell Straight
Story.
A young man about 10 years old and suf-
fering from severe injuries was brought to
the Southside Hospital last evening. He
could give little account of himself, but
said his name was John Cunningham, and
that he lived at Washington, Pa
When questioned as to how he received
his injuries. which included a broken nose,
fractured knee and many bruises and
scratches, he said he had been at Six Mile
Ferry and had slipped and fallen over a
steep embankment His story did not hang
together very well, and the opinion seemed
to prevail that he had been fighting. He
talked very little, and the case is still q
mystery.
