Some Personal Remarks.

For the benefit Of two or three con-
temporaries that seem 10 be greatly
agitated concerning the political future
Of the proprietors Of The Tribune. and
especially for the relief Of the Scranton
Republican. We desire to say that We
have nothing to regret In connection
with the recent campaign for fair play
in Lackawanna county. II that cam
paign were to be fought over again,
The Tribune as a newspaper and its
proprietors as individuals would not
modify their course in any particular,
except possibly to add a speck of ginger
to their advocacy Of Judge Willard and
She Hastings administration.
The delegates are by this time SO
nearly all elected that there can be
no motive for hesitancy in the express
sion Of honest opinion. Hence We say
that while we believe Governor Hast
ings has fairly and clearly won a ma
jority Of the delegates to next Wednes-
days convention. It will make absolute
ly no difference to The Tribune as
newspaper or to Its proprietors as indi-
viduals, so far as their future welfare
is concerned, whether ne shall win or
lose. They have supported the state
administration as a matter Of principle.
believing Its side OF the current contro-
versy to be the right side; and they are
prepared to bear the full responsibility
and accept all the consequences OF their
course. They are neither dependent on
federal patronage for living nor so
near the end Of their rope that they
have to become the puppets of Senator
Quay's favor in order to ward off final
collapse.
Another thing. II It shall appear.
one week from today. that Senator
Quay has won his battle, The Tribune
will not initiate the cry-baby tactics
pursued by the local Quay organ when
it was walloped out Of Its boots In
Lackawanna county. On the contrary,
it will take its medicine like a man,
bury the factional knife and get ready
for the proximate warfare on the COM
mon enemy. Will the Scranton Repub-
lican have nerve to make a similar
pledge in case Quay Is whipped?

The Result In Philadelphia.

At 1.3O o'clock this morning sufficient
returns had been received from the
primaries In Philadelphia TO indicate
that Senator Quay had made unex-
pected gains. The Philadelphia Press
conceded him IA and the Public Ledger
estimated that he would have 90. The
truth is probably somewhere between
these estimates. Mayor Warwick. 1t
appears, sustained defeat In his own
ward and In his own division.
This result leaves the issue OF the
fight for the state craftsmanship In
doubt Estimates by the Quay people
elect the senator by from 10 to 20 plu-
rality. whereas the estimate of Chris
topher L. Magee Is that notwithstand-
ing the reverse In Philadelphia Cover
nor Hastings and the administration
forces are still securely In the posses
sion Of a working majority. The unin-
structed delegates command the situa-
tion; and IL they are true to the best
interests Of the party will hesitate long
before turning the party machinery
over into Mr. Quays hands. to be used
by him for the reelection of Cameron
and the cancelling Of his political debts.

In speaking OF the libel suits brought
or pending against the principal Quay
organ in Philadelphia because of its
abusive campaign tactics. Editor
George H. Welshons. of the Pittsburg
Times, telegraphs from Philadelphia: !:
"There is growing feeling among pub
lie men at this end Of the state, that a
man who happens to buy keg OF ink
and a printing press does not thereby
acquire an unlimited license to black
guard everybody whom he cannot

cratic leaders have ignored this fact
and insisted on making q nomination

While nothing can be said to the
detriment of Mr.. Mclean as a man or
as a lawyer. and while his general mt

Bennett has never taken an active part

SCRANTON, AUGUST 81. 1895.

Senator Quay's assertion that he will
control the state convention without
needing a vote from Philadelphia, Is
known by him to be pure blun. The
chances are that as he wrote that dis
patch he looked up at Assistant Saint
Andrews and winked the other eye.

For a Short Campaign.

Eighteen of the forty-nine members
Of the Republican national committee
have responded to the inquiry Of the
Chicago Times-Herald as to whether
they favor a long or short presidential
campaign next year. Fourteen are en-
phatic In the expression Of belief that
campaign begun in the latter part or
August or the early part of September,
and pushed aggressively, would be
preferable to a long and tiresome con-
test which would needlessly disturb the
business interests of the country with
out Offering any additional partisan ad'
vantage. Among the Democrats there
Is almost an equal preponderance In
favor Of a short canvass.
Although this expression Of prefer
ence is not decisive, 1t offers hope that
next years battle will be brief one.
With a newspaper disc cussion Of current
issues that. in these days Of abundant
printers ink, keeps the voting public at
all times we'll informed. there does not
seem to be an urgent need Of a pro-
longed period of stump oratory and
artificial campaign hurrah. AS mat
ter Of fact. the old style methods Of
conducting political contests on the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES order
are falling into disrepute. They hinder
instead Of facilitate an intelligent COM
prehension of the dominant Issues. Two
months of tom-tom beating ought to be
amply sufficient to scare out the hermits
and stiffen the spines Of the vacillating
voters,
A short campaign, by all means-the
shorter the better.

Leader Magoc's Claim.

P.ttsburg Times: "S!nce Senator Quay
announced his candidacy, Governor Hast
ings has lost only the delegates from
Huntington and Montgomery from the
list of his original estimate, which gave
him a large majority, while his gains in
Adams. Perry, Lackawanna, Luzerne and
Schuylkill have more than made up the
loss. II Cameron and Fulton, or either,
be added to his column, he will be that
much ahead of his original estimate.
Since Senator Quay's entrance into the
contest for chairman he has not elected
more than thirty delegates, while the
Hastings and Gilkeson delegates secured
during the same time foot up no lees than
forty eight. OF the delegates elected prior
to the announcement of Senator Quay's
candidacy at least fifty-five are known
to be sure for Hastings and Gilkeson.
This leaves them only forty-two to gain
IN Philadelphia and Leh.gh the only
counties yet to VOTE and which will yield
at least s.xty-s:x votes, bringing their
minimum total up to 169. or majority of
forty-n.ne. In all probability however,
their majority will be largely in excess OF
this. This Is the exact situation of affairs
and It amply explains why Senator Quay's
organs are threatening to resort to revo-
llrtionary methods to obtain control of a
convention which they know they cannot
secure by legitimate means. Senator
Quay IL beaten and Colonel B. F.. Gilke-
son will be the next chairman Of the state
committee"

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Rulc or Ruin Tactics.

Altoona Tribune: Until a few months
ago there was not the slightest intima-
ton that Mr.. GakesOn was unsatisfactory
to anybody. But Mr. Quay, in pursuance
Of has declared purpose to crush General
Hastings, and des!iing to get the machin-
cry oil the party IN his hands, partly for
that purpose, and partly that he might the
more easily contrU! the delegation 10 the
next national convention, announced him
self as candidate for chairman. We
have not been able to see why Mr.. Gill
keson should be sacrificed simply be-
cause Senator Quay took a sudden fancy
for his position at the head Of the state
committee. If he were incompetent that
would be different thing. But the party
Quays fances. Nor Is there any rea-
son why there should be departure from
the ordinary rules of the party simply
because Senator Quay Is q candidate for
state chairman. He Is not entitled to any
privileges that have been withheld from
other Republicans. There may be truth
in the assertions of his friends that he
managed the campaign of 1888 in mas
terly manner but as the party has kept
HIM steadily in office for the last thirty
years, 1t Is under no obligations to HIM.
Hence II the state chairman has been in
the habit of making up the roll; IL the
state committee has never been called
together to make up the roll of the con-
vention, there Is no earthly reason why a
change should be adopted now. The sug-
gest!on that Mr.. Glkeson cannot be trust
ed to make up the roll is an insult and
was SO intended. 1t looks very much as
though the followers OF Senator Quay,
realizing that defeat Is inevitable, have
deliberately determined to stir up such a
bitter feeling among Republicans as to
endanger the party's ascendancy."

HOW VACCINATION WAS DISCOVERED.
Accident Brought About One of the Great
est Blessings known to Man.


Accident Brought About One of the Great
est Blessings Known to MAN.
When DR.. Jenner, the celebrated ply
stefan, was at Sudbury once, he was
surprised one day at hearing a country
woman say that she would not take the
smallpox because she had had the cow
pox, and upon inquiry he learned that
it was a popular notion in hat district
that mixers who had been infected with
a peculiar eruption, which sometimes
occurred on the udder Of the cow, were
completely secure against the smallpox.
1t occurred to Jenner in 1880 that it
might be possible to propagate the cow
pox, and with it the security from
smallpox first from the COW to the hu-
man body and then from one person to
another. Many experiments were tried
successfully, but there was much oppo-
sition to the new practice, and its sue
cess seemed uncertain till a year had
passed, when 20 leading physicians and
surgeons signed a declaration Of their
entire confidence in it. Till the last day
Of DIR. Jenner's life he was using untir-
ing efforts to diffuse the knowledge of
his wonderful discovery. and he had the
satisfaction of knowing ever then of the
widely spread practice of vaccination.

How to Ascertain tho Weight of Cattle.

part Of the shoulder blade along the
back to the bone at the tail. which Ia in
a vertical line with the outlook, both

expressed in feet. by five times the
length, and divide the product by 81.
The quotient is the weight nearly for
the four quarters. in imperial stone of
Ia pound avoirdupois. 1t is to be OBJ
served, however, that in very fat cattle
the four quarters will be about one
twentieth more. and In those in q very
lean state they will DO less in the same
proportion to tho weight obtained by
the rule. The four quarters are little
more than half the weight of the living
animal, the skin weighing about the
eighteenth part and the tallow about
the twelfth part of the whole.

How Firing Of Heavy Artillery Causes Rain
to Fall In the Vicinity. q

Whatever lowers the temperature of
the air at any place below the dew point
Is q cause Of rain. Various causes may
conspire to effect this object, but 1t is
chiefly brought about by the ascent of
the air into the higher regions of the
atmosphere, by which, being subjected
to less pressure, it expands and in doing
so lowers its temperature. These as
cending currents are caused by the heat
ing of the earth's surface by the suns
rays, or, in fact, by anything which
raises the temperature of the superin-
cumbent air, and it is very obvious that
the continued discharge Of large pieces
of ordnance will have a considerable
effect in raising the temperature of the
air lying on the earth's surface, which
will ascend, expand and discharge its
aqueous PARTICLES in the form of rain,
for tho reasons given above.
