The Fourth Estate.

The prominence of the name of Col
onel j. H. Lambert of the Philadel-
phia Press, in all state cabinet fore
casts, while 1t may not be prophetic of
his appointment, is a striking tribute
to his prominence and excellence as
representative journalist
Newspaper men, by the way, have
Jared exceptionally well this month.
To be sure, Amos Cummings got en-
tangled in the falling Tammany debris
at Kansas City was also unsuccessful.
But to compensate for these things we
have Eli Quigg returned from New
York city by monster plurality; Edi-
tor Southwicll, of the Albany Express,
knocking out Congressman Tracey, the
chief of the badly used tribe of Grover
Cleveland cuckoos; Representative
Scranton overturning the precedent
which, every alternate election, had
heretofore beached him among the
wreckage; and several other examples
that just now escape recollection. If
Colonel Lambert should become secre-
tary of the commonwealth, the appoint
ment would undoubtedly be popular
| one; but in any event it is a pleasant
compliment to the fourth estate that he
should be so generally considered avail
able.
Then there's Charles Emory Smith,
too, with an eye on Don Cameron's
seat. OF a certainty, journalism is
| looking up.

Growing Cost of Elections.

EX-Vice President Morton is to be
his candid statement that to be elected
governor of New York cost him $19, $50.
The expenses he enumerates are nat
ural enough; and no doubt legitimate.
They include $4,000 to the state COM
mittee, $1,000 to a printer who supplied
his literary bureau, and several scatter
ing items. If Senator Hill spent less, it
was because he had less expectation of
getting it back. Hill Is not a man who
spares money when an end is to be
gained; and whether he has wealth in
his own name or knows how to draw on
friendly purses, the result is identically
the same, in morals as we'll as in fact.
Hence there Is no room for invidious
comparisons.
But why should it cost any man wish
ing to be elected governor nearly one
half his entire total salary for the Off
cial term of four years, not saying any
thing about the chances of defeat? This
is the difficult and portentous question
in this connection. No one can impeach
Mr.. Mortons honesty and purity of in
tention. He is rich and he is truthful.
He could afford $751; 100, he spent $40, 100
and he was manly enough to say 80.
Thus far, all we'll and good. But is the
honor of running for governor in New
York state hereafter to be restricted to
wealthy men who can afford to ignore
the cost of their campaigns?
We trust that we are not of those
visionary few who apparently imagine
that the necessary machinery of politics
can easily be operated by northeast
wind. At the same time, 1t is pertinent
to inquire If the gradual movement in
both parties toward the gliding of our
politics has not gone beyond the limit
of reason and prudence When parti-
sans get excited it is natural that they
should be generous of their resources in
their furious effort to win. The feeling
is much the same as that which
prompts modest privates in an army to
do deeds of extraordinary rashness while
under the intoxication of battle. But it
is time to have limit fixed to this large
| and damaging expenditure; time at
least to preach the doctrine of early re-
publican simplicity, albeit the practice
of it is beset with many difficulties.

AS to Senator QUAY.

We learn by way of Washington that
the Chicago Tribune, q Republican
paper which ought to have better sense,
calls on Senator Quay to step into the
background" 1t is unlikely that the
Chicago Tribune's advice will be
needed, any more than would similar
advice from Democratic sources. One
of the results of Senator Quay's remain
ing in the foreground was Republi-
can president in 1888 and Republican
pluralityin Pennsylvania, in 1894, which
fairly brushes the quarter-of- million
mark. Among the results of his step
ping into the background would be the
loss of the most successful party tao.
tician and victory-winning leader that
the Republican party has ever had.
Senator Quay stepped into the back
ground two years ago. Democratic
restoration and a $4,000 900, 900 panic
speedily followed. 1t would please Eng
land, the mugwumps, the free trade
Democrats and the soured Republican
Office seekers to have Senator Quay
again retired; but we are not so sure
about honest Republicans. Our sus-

Protection and Reciprocity.

Senator Sherman, upon reflection, mas
seen fit somewhat to modify, in sec
ond communication, the opinion
ascribed to him in yesterdays Tri-
bune, upon the authority of a New
York interview. He now declares that
expression of the general protective
policy Of the Republican party that this
country has ever known, which is an
eminently safe proposition and likewise
an eminently true one. The second
Sherman interview, however is mainly
important as shedding light upon what
the senator from Ohio meant to say in
his original deliverance. The text upon
which it is based may be regarded as
settled, for at least score of years to
come.
The present generation of voters may
differ as to particular percentages Of
duty, but they will never consent to
abandon the protective principle. That
principle has become rooted in the very
foundations Of our government. Few
if any men now alive will live to see
America make the costly mistake of
surrendering the peerless American
home market to pursue the phantom
trade of the world along the low-wage
pathways of European free trade. We
dare say that after its recent drubbing

front and manfully acknowledge the
fact that it is against tariff protection
in all its phases. We are sure that the
Cleveland wing of the Democracy will
do this; for it can no longer deceive the
public by posing as conservative pro-
tectionists" and might just as well have
credit for boldness and courage. But
whether it shall or shall not throw off
disguise, the Democratic party, if Re-
publlcans are wise, is already beaten
for two decades. The people will not
again trust it, be it's pretensions good
or bad They have had enough, and
like burnt children, will dread the fire
that scorched them.
To retain the confidence of the people,
however, Republicanism must content
itself to move cautiously along con-
servative lines. Theoretically, McKin-
leyism was right; practically, by its
very radicalism it alienated popular
sympathy and opened loopholes of at
tack. But for Mr. Blaine, McKinleyism
would have gone before the country
without provision for dollars worth
of new trading in any foreign market.
1t was such extreme steps as this that
cost the Republican party its control of
congress in 1890 and that, two years
later, lost it the presidency. Moderate
protection with reciprocity comprises a
slogan which is absolutely invincible.
But tariff agitation, in any form, needs
to be let alone until the business of the
country will have recuperated so as not
to be liable to be thrown into relapse.

now thought by many to stand better
chance for the attorney generalship than
for the secretaryship of state.

Hayes Grier For secretary of the COM

Just such tidal wave as has fioated back
the Republicans; and, being once more In
the saddle, he proceeded to run things his

cart before the horse in sending the tar

question to the front; and to end with

to conspre, playing into the hand of the
protectionsts and making havoc with
every Democratic interest
The tenor and burden of Colonel Wat

against Mr. Cleveland personally, how

hopes, but does not appear to be very
confident, that one central principle will
again exhibit itself as a beacon light
to benighted Democratic footsteps, and
in this we have the whole secret of DEM
ocracys present gloom. The party as
whole is simply an enlarged edition
of the party as it is known today in
Lackawanna county-a party of clash
ing interests, discordant elements and
warning leaders, without the suggestion
of bond of union stronger than more
frequently hopeless than successful ap-
petite for spoils. 1t has been suggested
that the party in Lackawanna county
would do well to take rest of five years
before again annoying the people; and
we are not prepared to say that the
same experiment would not be equally
beneficial to the party at large.
