The Next Senate.

Some newspapers are constantly re-
ferring to the Fifty-fourth congress. Ito
assemble In Its first regular session next
December) as though 1t We're so COM
pletely under control Of the Republic
cans that the responsibility Of any fall
ure to pass reformatory legislation
would have to rest upon President
Cleveland. The house Of representa-
tives, 1t Is true, will contain a large Re
publican majority, but 1t Is not by any
means certain that the Republicans
will be able even to control the organi-
cation of the senate. If a few OF the
Populist senators should act with the
Republicans they might control the sem
ate but standing alone they Will not
be able to muster u majority In that
body. The Democrats are even more
helpless. Counting as Populists only
Allen of Nebraska. PETER of Kansas,
and Jones and Stewart of Nevada, and
giving the Democrats the benefit OF
the two senators from South Carolina,
the strength of the respective parties
will be about as follows: Republicans,
Al; Democrats. 80; 'Populists 4. If Du-
pont, of Delaware, should be admitted,
the Republicans would be able to mus
ter 45, a majority, but among the num-
ber are few from the west who cam
not be confidently counted upon to
stand by the party. On the silver and
tariff questions they are as likely to
vote with the Democrats as with the
Republicans.
The uncertainty that environs the
senate at once shows that the country
must not place its expectations concern
ing the next congress too high. The
house will be all right and may be de-
pended upon to pass measures for the
relief of the country. but when such
bills reach the senate their fate Is very
uncertain. If the senate were as safely
under Republican control as the house,
then the failure to enact wise financial
and tariff legislation might be thrown
upon President Cleveland, but under
existing conditions 1t is not probable

the president at the next session of
congress; they will be halted in the
senate.
Next year the complete redemption
Of the government from Democratic
dominance and Democratic incompe-
tency will be possible. a number of
Democratic senators can then be ousted
| as well as the present Democratic presi-
dent. The country has suffered so
much from the unpatriotic and blum
| dering policy of the Democracy during
the past two years that the national
election, Of 1896 is looked forward to
with the greatest impatience by all
thoughtful and patriotic people. The
Republican victories of 1894, great as
they were, could not redeem everything
that was lost in 1892. The senate was
| not wholly redeemed and the DEM
ocratic administration could mot be
ousted. The work so we'll begun In 1894
cannot be completed until 1896. After
that relief and prosperity.

The Folly of Bluster,

On Monday all the Quay organs
claimed that the junior senator had
swept everything at the primaries held
In half dozen counties. The admlnis-
tration papers claimed that Hastings
had won in York, Adams and Perry.
and possibly in Juniata. They conceded
Schuylkill and Montgomery to Quay.
The returns are now all In and once
more prove the folly Of Quay bluster.
The administration lost nothing that
1t expected to carry, except Montgom-
cry, and won Adams and Perry, which
they did not expect to get. ut was q
great Quay day." exclaimed such ma
chine organs as the Scranton Republi-
can. What Quay gained in one dIrec-
tion he lost In another. That's the long
and short of last Saturdays elections.
We are near enough the end to admit
OF intelligent summing up. If Quay can
capture from twenty to twenty-five DEL
egates in Philadelphia in excess Of
the number conceded to him he may
win; II he fails In that he Is beaten
man. The administration skies are ex-
ceedingly bright, brighter than they
have been at any time in the battle.
Quay bluster and boasting has accom-
plished nothing. II the estimates in
Philadelphia hold out Hastings will
hold the state convention by a ma
5ority Of about forty, and by not less
than thirty II every county still to elect
and counted as doubtful be carried
by Quay. That is the situation, and
time will verify its correctness,

It's q Wnr Oh the Party.

Pittsburg Times: This is not a fight
upon Senator Quay. 1t is a fight that he
began, not alone upon Governor Hastings
and Colonel G!lkeson, but upon the Re-
publican party. He began 1t when he
meddled with the Republican nomination
for mayor of Philadelphia. Because Sem
ator Quay, a resident of Beaver, 400 miles
from Philadelphia, was not allowed to
name the candidate he bitterly assailed
the Republican leaders of that city. And
yet the Republicans of Philadelphia were
so well satisfied with the candidate select
they elected him by 63,oO0 majority"

When James Buchanan was nomi-
mated for the presidency in 1856 his sue
cess was due to the claim that he was
"a northern man with southern princi-
PIES" Now some Of the Democratic
leaders are demanding as their party's
candidate for president next year "a
western man with the interests of the
south at heart" The Republicans will
next year, be content, as usual. with a
candidate who Is thorough-going
American with the interests of the en-
tire republic at heart. That Is the diff.
ference between the two parties--the
Democratic party Is sectional in Its
principles and policy; the Republican
party Is national in everything.

Leader in State Politics.

Scranton Times: "Whatever the out
come of the Republican state convention
may be Mr.. William ConHell will hereafter
figure as a leader in state politics. He has
won everything he went after in the pres
emit struggle for factional supremacy.
Even Quay recognizes him as a leader not

your eye on William Conncll and always
count him in when you are figuring on po-
htlcal results in this section Of the state"

Is all the argument needed to demon
strate the necessity for reform in this
particular.
When congress makes provision for
taking the census of 1900 It should leave
little or nothing to the discretion Of the
officials in charge of the census bureau.
The work should be absolutely limited
to information that Is of value to the
people generally. II this Is done the
next census will be compressed Into
five or six volumes. and be published
complete not later than January. 1901.
BY taking the census OF 1890 1t will be
easy to see how much ought to be elm
mated. The government would save
large amount of money and the people
would have census reports that they
could make practical use OF.

lection is guaranteed to Americans.
The provisions OF that treaty have not
been observed, and It would seem that
our government has not manifested
sufficient energy in dealing with the
subject. Our minister to China explains
that he warned the missionaries of
their peril In time for them to have
escaped. but that they would not heed
his warning. That Is all right enough
as far as 1t goes, but 1t Is not what
Americans have a right to expect. Our
government has duty to perform to its
citizens in China. and II that duty cam
not be adequately performed without
the aid Of men-of-war and gunboats.
then these forces should be called into
active service. That Is precisely what
our great and powerful war-ships were
built for, although the Cleveland ad-
ministration does not appear to realize
the fact 1t is all well enough for our
splendid naval equipment to indulge In
elaborate evolutions off Newport occa-
sionally when there Is nothing else to
do, for the amusement of society swells
and retired millionaires. but. after all.
our navy was not constructed for any
such purpose. Somebody ought to wake
up President Cleveland and his cabinet,
and let them know that war-ships are
needed in Chinese waters for the pro-
lection of Americans who are threat
ened with brutal death at the hands OF
the heather.

~ NouilheQ TO AnuuAtflhis.
New York, June 1.-The market to-
day did not differ much from that of
yesterday, What transactions there
were were almost entirely professional
and were confined to the industrials
The prices of the latter group in the
first hour advanced from small frac-
ton to ~ per cent. The grangers were
almost entirely neglected, although
their prices remained unchanged in the
early trading.
During the last hour a general reae-
ton set in, carrying the grangers off
about u per cent, and the industrials
an amount equal to their early gains. In
this decline Pacific Mail reacted per
cent. from top. The close was some~
what irregular. The upward course of
the industrials was largely due to man
ipulation There lis, nevertheless, ba-
Sis for the improvement in the indus
trial world. In fact, the only raw ma
terial which has not participated in the
general movement is coal The gains
in the others have all been substantial,
some very heavy and the majority
maintained.
The most encouraging recent develop
ment is the fbuoyant tone of the iron and
steel markets. This is caused, not by
railroad orders, but by a general de-
mand which promises permanency.

Mr.. Addicks shrewd enough to see
that such a threat on his part may
arouse some "crank" who should get
the idea into his head that it is better to
bury Mr.. Addicks "ten thousand faith
oms deep" rather than the G. o. P,

procede to forestall the Addicks threatY
If he were in some sections of the
county his language would probably
bring upon his head the very thing he
pretends to fear.
Mr.. Addicks has already allied him
self with certain Democratic politicians
in the State, has the influence of the
Democratic press with him, and he is
capable of going to the ''rule or ruins
extreme. That is why he will never
attain leadership in this State.

SENATOR DuPONT

Many of the most thoughtful Demo
Gratis as we'll as every true Republican
hope to see Col. DUPONT seated by the
United States Senate in December.
They hope it because they do not want
to see another Doodle campaign in this
State, and not a few believe that he is
honestly and fairly elected, not few
Democrats, and Republicans naturally
bslieve it. 1t is a question for the
Senate to decide. 1t is to be desired
that it may be SO plain legally, after
investigation, that Senators shall not
divide on party lines. The situation is
one of the results of living under our
old Constitution which appears to be
liatle to any construction put upon it.
With Senator DUPONT the honor and
credit of the State is safe. If Mr..
Addicks is again in the campaign in
Delaware the Democratic press will be
as much to blame for it as any other
agency.

BROKEN PLEDGES.

= All during the session of the Legisla-
ture, the cry was "pledges to Ad-
dicks" The most earnest inquiry as
to what those pledges were or by whom
made, failed utterly to bring an
answer. He cannot tell. His subsi-
died papers, neither Republican nor
Democratic, can tell. He processes
to have spent a large sum of money,
none of it passing through the hands
of the State Central Committee, and
one of his two Dover lieutenants, told
the writer that not member of the
General Assembly was pledged to Mr..
Addicks before the election. What
then were the pledges? Speak up like
men, or admit that you are blufing like
gamblers.

Mr.. Addicks pretends that for few
brief hours, or moments, he had fear
lest Mr.. Washburn's words "might
have inspired some crank to do mur-
DER" He shows by his language that
his nervousness was of short duration,
since before he wrote his telegram he
had reached the condition In which he
could say, Knight have inspired"
showing the danger to be past. This
is the correct Interpretation, Of course,
to his language, as we should not like
to accuse him of writing faulty Eng
lish, or of not being able to express
himself accurately.

tanned in the kilograms. Mr.. Addicks
