A Story OF What Might Have Been Among
Old Time Senators.

Story OF What Might Have BeeD Among
Old Time Senators.
The late Judge l. Q. c. Lamar pos
eessed a remarkable popularity. On
Usual excitement seemed to act upon his
nerves like an opiate and put him to
sleep. This was strongly exemplifed
after his remarkable verbal encounter
with the great New Yorker, Mr.. Conk-
ling Mr.. Lamar, after scarifying Mr..
Conkling for life. leaving him with
burning yet deferential resentment,
closed as follows:
81 apologize to the senate for this
seeming supplementary language"
advancing to the New Yorker and
throwing his index finger full in his
face), language that no man, good
man. deserves. and no brave man will
wear" Immediately Mr.. Lamar walked
TO the cloakroom on the Democratic side,
lay down on a sofa, and in three min
utes was sleeping as calmly as a babe.
There was great excitement 1t was be-
lieved Mr.. Conkling would not submit
to the language applied to him, and
that, while he probably would not chal-
lenge Lamar, being an athlete, he would
meet him on the streets and assault him.
The late Senator Zeb Vance, Hercules
in stature, who was devoted to Mr. La
mar. without the knowledge of that gen.
tleman or of any other human being,
Swallowed Mr. Lamar for some days, ex-
planning afterwa:d that if Corkling ever
struck Lamar he intended to beat him
to death. Mr.. Vance. however, did not
kv,n hot ,rf; tel int
with Mr.. Lamar knew. In all probable
ity Mr.. Lamar could have whipped
them both. He prided himself upon his
muscle and has often said to the writer,
II believe i am better fitted fer prize
fighter than l am for a senator. " II was
&npprehended by some that Conkling

In Lackawanna county. 1t Is an inter-

The facts as given by The Tribune indi-
cate, on the contrary, that the Hastings

honor and manhood to compromise with
the Quay faction, but without success. The
Tribune shows that when Judge Willard
was appointed to the Superior court there
was no expectation Of such a contest be-

Lackawanna Republicans was the ARl-

THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.

Thco. Roosevelt, in Sept. Forum.
The question at issue in New York city
just at present Is much more important
than the question of a more or less liberal
Sunday excise law The question is
whether public officials are to be true to
their oaths of office. and see that the law
is administered in good faith 1t Is worth
while briefly to state exactly what the
condition of affairs was when the present
board of police commissioners in New
York took office, and what was that course
of conduct which has caused such violent
excitement. The task Is simple. ON en-
tering Office we found-what indeed had
long been matter of common notoriety-
that various laws, and notably, the excise
law, were enforced rigidly against people
who had no political pull, but were not
enforced at all against the men who had
n political pull. or who possessed sufficient
means to buy of the high officials who
controlled. or had influence in, the police
department. All that we did was to en-
force these laws, not against some wrong
doers. but against all wrong-doers honest
ly and mpartially. We did not resurrect
dead laws; we did not start n crusade
to enforce blue laws. All that we did
was to take law which was very much
alive. but which had been used only for
purposes of blackmail. and to do away en-
tirely with the blackmail feature by en-
forcing Il eouitably as regards all persons
Looked at sobcrly, this scarcely seems
n revolutionary proceeding; and still less
does 1t seem like one which ought to need
an elaborate justification.

An Old Dodge Revived.

The chapter of true history printed
last Friday on this page has elected
from the local organ of Senator Quay
several epithets and number of mis-
statements, which were to have been
expected: but only one thing that calls
for extended comment. The Republic
can, in denying that a proposition was
made To Senator quay soon after his
visit here, offering, in the interest of
harmony. to divide the Lackawanna
delegation in the ratio of for Quay to 1
for Hastlngs-which offer was spurned.
both by the senator and by his local
representatives. who declared an inten-
zion of getting at least six out of the
seven delegates-simply adds deliberate
falsehood to its numerous other Of
fenscs.
That proposition. in the form of a
suggestion that the senator withdraw
all opposition to Mr.. Willard's friends
and trust to their natural generos-
ity for substantial appreciation Of
the courtesy was first mentioned
TO Senator Quay personally. by Will
lam Connell, who, although not in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Quay's fight upon the
Hastings administration. nor doubtful
of the result Of a fair appeal to the
public. was nevertheless willing to
shield the party in this county from the
consequences of Il direct participation
in the Quay-Gilkeson fight. Later, It
was again communicated to the sena-
tor, this time at the earnest solicitation
of Colonel Watres, who was directed by
the Beaver leader to "see Penman."
Colonel Watres did not "see Penman,"
for Penman, at that moment, was alb
sent, setting up the Quay fight in
Carbondale; but he did see two of Pen
mans local colleagues, and they
promptly declined the overture. If
Penman's organ doesn't know this. it
can ascertain the exact details by In.
terviewing Colonel Watres and city
Treasurer Brooks.
These facts are of interest now only
so far as they illumine the falsity of the
charge that supporters of Mr.. Quay in
this county have been tricked by Judge
Wizards friends. AS a matter of fact,
the local fight for Quay was conducted
mainly by men who simply used Quay's s
name for purposes OF their own; and
who, when fairly and thoroughly
beaten, now try to let themselves down
easily by believing specious falsehoods
concerning the men who licked them.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-19

The results OF the primaries held on
Saturday are interesting, but not unex-
pected. Senator Quay carries the five
delegates in Chester county. after a
spirited fight; and the indications are
that he has made good his claims as to
Fulto. Cameron and Mifiiin. which
each elect one delegate. On the other
hand. the administration wins in Ly-
coming, Attorney General McCor-
Cormick's home. overwhelmingly. thus
adding three expected votes to the
Gilkeson column of certainties.
The battle now turns to Philadelphia.
where Tuesdays primaries will prob
ably decide the issue. one way or the
other. If Senator Quay should be sue
cessful to the extent of securing from
twenty-five to thirty of Philadelpha's
seventy delegates, the prestige of that
gain would probably exert a winning
influence upon the primaries in Lehigh
county, which are the latest on the list;
and render the final result doubtful.
Anything less than this, however, VIII

cause, which, to all appearances, now
seems, if not hopeless. at least desper-

The people of philadelphia have been

A Lesson of History.

Under Republican national admins.
trations it was the rule that imports
decreased while exports Increased. This
meant a balance Of trade in our favor,
that caused gold to flow into the coun-
try. Under the Cleveland adminstra-
ton, the rule has been reversed. EX-
ports now are diminishing and imports
augmenting. In other words. we are
selling fewer homemade goods and
buying more foreign-made goods. thus
turning the balance of trade against
us and draining out our cash.
Proof of the foregoing assertions
may be obtained from the Democratic
organs themselves. For example, the
Philadelphia Record lies before us. with
an editorial admitting that while i'm
ports during the fiscal year 1894
amounted in value to $654.994,622 and
exports to sS69, 9,2O4,937, imports in 1895
grew to 731,957.S75, and exports fell to
$793, ,397, $3.50. The Record contends that
ports was ''due solely to the decrease in
our foreign trade in agricultural pro-
Ducts" but this only tends to confirm
the Republican argument that the
emasculated Wilson-Gorman tariff. by
striking down our promising prospects
for a profitable reciprocity in trade
with numerous foreign nations and
opening the gates to increased foreign
competition, injured the farmer not
less than It tried to cripple the manu-
featuring interests Of the United States.
But going back to 1892. the last year
of the Harrison administration. we dis
cover that while, owing to free list
Of -$4s2, ,2sS, ,S36, the total value OF our
imports was larger than during either
1894 or 1895, being $s761s9s71, our ex-
ports were largely In excess, being 1923.
237. .032 for domestic merchandise. This
is a showing which the Democratic
party will never equal. It signifies a
condition Of affairs strikihgly In con-
trast with the stagnation and, later,
timid convalescenoe of business during
the two years and four months Of
Grover Cleveland's second presidency.
