The philadalphia Press yesterday
contaircl a complete explanation Of
some curious charges lately brought
By Major William II. Hastings. against
his brother. the governor. The eX.
PLANTATION is of local interest because
copies Of the same charges have been
circulated in Scranton. Major Hast
ings. who is suffering from u mental
disease. accuses his brother of 50 many
outrageous things that the absurd
charges bear contradiction plainly
stamped ON their'face.
Numerous Instances Of Il similar
character, whtrlin persons mentally
deranyed have conceived the idea that
their considerate relatives have done
or wish 70 do them harm, could be cited.
The circulation of the vaporings of an
insane man with intsn, To do political

Americas Destiny.

The ever enterprising Chicago Times
Herald on sunday interviewed many of
the nations ablest statesmen upon the
question of Americas manifest destiny.
Two questions We're asked each man:
/. Should the United States annex Can
ada. Newfoundland. Cuba and Hawaii?
>. VIII Uncle Sam eventually rule the
North American continent" Concern
ing the latter question the replies are
that the United States must either NOR
ally " physically influence the thought.
the feeling ana the policy of the whole
cCutireut.
The Tlmes-Herald's summary OF the
various replies to the first and more
important question shows. however. a
wide disparity of opinion. Senator
Lodge is an .uueXationist OF everything
in sight, providing the people OF the
countries 20 be annexed are willing.
Cuba he would like 10 have, and Ha-
wall as a matter of course. Canada
and Newfoundland. in his opinion, are
destined 70 become part of the United
States. but he does not favor Mexico or
the Central American states. On the
other hand. ex-senator Ingalls,, while he
does no: object TO Canada, and thinks
that it will eventually come into the
union, disapproves OF Newfoundland,
Cuba and Hawaii. Senator Cullom. of
Illinois, favors the annexation Of Cam
ada and Of Hawaii, but expresses moth
ing as to Cuba and Newfoundland. One
OF the ablest editors In the country. st.
Clair Mckslway, OF the Brooklyn Eagle,
favors the annexation OF Canada and
Newfoundland il their people desire it
and Great Britain is willing. and would
take in Hawaii as u county to Cali
fornla and Cuba as a county TO Florida.
a more important statement than
any OF these opinions is that Of Senator
Lodge, who says that he intends to in
troduce a bill at the next session of
congress embodyins the Monroe doc
trine, SO that the state department may
have something to live up 10 in the
shape of an absolute law. The next
session OF congress. being Republican

extension of territorial area. nor ior a

plomacy which has characterized the
first half Of the Cleveland administra-
tion. But there will be constant occa-

minded Anericanism, and this should
not be slghted. The public mind Is

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Regarding the nomination of Superior
court Judges at the next state convention
to succeed those Just appointed by Gov
ernor Hastings the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph says: There seems to be no
reason why the six Republican judges
should not be endorsed without question
by the Republican state conventions: yet
there are already mutterings and sugges-
tive indications of factional trouble. Those
who assume such u position should halt
themselves at once. There has been quite
enough politics in connection with this i'm
portant matter already, in fact, in some in
stances altogether too much. Unless 1t
can be shown that the governors ap-
pointees are personally unfit for the places
assigned, they should De accepted. Under
no circumstances should the whole matter
be thrown into the political arena to be
squabbled over by selfish leaders, only In
tent upon accomplishing their purposes
regardless of the dignity of the bench.

Pennsylvania have earnestly striven for
many years past to keep the judiciary free

According to Philadelphia advices Sen
ator Quay Is about to make another heroic
move TO save himself. Ii Is learned. from
what Is regarded as first-class source.
that unAed states senator Don Cameron
VIII not be q candidate for reelection;
that he realizes that he Is beaten and that
he could not be elected by the Republican
state legislature and Will retire. He has
picked out j. II. Brown, OF Lancaster, as
his successor. Brown Is about the closest
friend Cameron has In Pennsylvania.
barring Quay himself He Is an able law
yer and would. 1t Is thought. make a good
senator. II Is realized by Quay's friends
that Cameron Ia the heaviest load Quay
has TO carry lie Is under heavy oblIsa-
tions to Cameron and does not dare go
back on him now But now Cameron sees
that even Quay cannot save him, even
though the latter might win In his pres

The Republicans OF Pennsylvania
have not been unmindful of their obli-
cations to Mr.. Quay. Twice they have
permitted his dictation to cause party
disaster. They think it is time for him
now to be guided by reason and COM
mon sense. When he shall cease to be
a tvrant and is willing to remain n
leader he will have plenty of hearty
and cordial support.

For Another Census.

Whether 1t be desirable at this time
to agitate for the reorganization of our
city government upon the basis OF q
city Of the second class, Is an open
question: but the suggestion Of secre-
tary Atherton that a special census be
taken by the board of trade. to deter
mine precisely the city's present popu-
lation Is an excellent one. We believe
tnas a careful and accurate enumera-
ton would reveal the presence in Scran-
ton OF easily 10000 inhabitants, and
possibly 10000 Evidences Of the city's
growth are SO abundant and uniform
on every hand that we cannot reconcile
them with a smaller population.
In view Of the fact that another de.
cennlal census will soon be due, It prob
ably would not be wise to undertake q
reconstruction of the present city gov
ernment now But there would be con-
siderable consolation in knowing ex-
